I noticed that as well. They also use some stock screaming in the Eric Rudolph segment when the girl and her mother stop to take a picture and the bomb goes off. If I ever heard screaming even close to that in real life, I would call the police immediately!

When I think of stock sounds, I immediately think of the baby cry that has been on so many movies/shows since the 80's, at least. Oh, you know what I'm talking about.

Or the generic police radio chatter.

Personally, I prefer UM's reenactment style over most modern crime shows. AMW turns them into dramatic performances, which was why I stopped watching them years ago. I dont even really need to hear much dialogue for the post to come across, and occasionally UM was really good at this.

The only other show that is close to UM in style is Forensic Files.

In the Michael Swango segment, Rena Cooper--the woman in for minor surgery that Swango attempted to poison through her IV line at OSU Hospital in 1984--was portrayed by a Caucasian woman. In reality, she is African American.

ETA: I originally had Rena as Ruth--who was actually another person mentioned on another UM segment. She was a victim of a murder that some speculated could have been connected to the 1985 deaths of Diana Robertson and Mike Riemer.
