New UM now accepting new story submissions!!!

[Kane]

I received a second email reply from the same UM email address. The message was very brief, saying only that they are not currently producing new episodes.

[crystaldawn]

Maybe they haven't completely given up on producing new stories. Not sure how long its been on there but it now says:

"Have you ever heard of a story about family members that committed a murder together? Email us at UMnewstories@gmail.com".

It is a good sign imo that they're being more specific about the type of stories they want, not just having people send them whatever.

Pffffffff

How many years have they been jerking us around like this? I just don't see an audience big enough for new shows anyway. On Lifetime??

Does anyone know who really owns and operates unsolved.com?

This relates to their crappy reality show :

AMW is only off the air temporarily. The show completed its first season on Lifetime - 25th season overall - in October. Although it hasn't been officially announced yet, word has it that will be back for another season.

As for UM, the authenticity of the g-mail address, is questionable. If the show were coming back with new episodes in the near future, they would have announced it by now. The lack of any official news on the matter speaks volumes.

I love that rarjake posted John Cosgrove's e-mail address! Anyone feel like shooting HIM an e-mail to ask him what's going on?

Just a thought. Been a while. Thought I'd mix it up.

I would like to see these 2 Missing cases profiled on the new Unsolved Mysteries

Well shiver me timbers, I was just glancing through this thread and noticed somebody else posted about David Lovely awhile back. I had never noticed that before and was just talking about him here on SO the other day.

In response to some older posts on this thread, while the following cases were never profiled on UM, there have been hour-length episodes devoted to them on other true crime shows.

Disappeared has covered the McStays, the Jamisons, Ray Gricar, Mitrice Richardson and Lee Cutler.

The case about the newswoman found killed outside her home sounds a lot like Diane King from Battle Creek, which is in my state of Michigan. City Confidential covered that, her husband was found guilty.

Speaking of Michigan, Paige Renkowski has never been profiled on UM. This is one of the Charley Project cases that's closest to where I live, and I have driven on 96 in that area. I don't remember hearing about it back when it first happened, but I would have been barely 10 at the time. The Charley Project page says her disappearance may have been linked to three other unsolved murder/abductions in the area, and I haven't been able to find out a thing about those online. I am dying to find out more info, so please, if anyone finds out anything, please post.

and UM did cover Sabrina Aisenberg.

I have never heard of her story until you mentioned it. It sounds so much like the Alicia Showalter Reynolds case. Here are a few articles about her case you might find interesting Wiseguy182:

Wow, thank you Crystaldawn. That is the first I've heard about Beverly Wivell, and it does appear the cases are connected. It sounds like the perp(s) were impersonating a police officer.

There appears to be some discrepancies between the articles on Paige Renkoski. One says her van was in the Fowlerville area, another says the Okemos-Dewitt area. That's a little bit of a distance as there are 2 towns between Fowlerville and Okemos (Webberville and Williamston). The newer composite sketches I would guess are more accurate since the first set are all very generic and similar looking.

That one website called "Cold Cases Hard Copy" appears to have a wealth of information and newspaper articles on various unsolved cases of homicide and missing persons. I'm on vacation this week, so I'll probably be spending some time on that site researching. Just offhand, I see a boatload of articles on Michael Rosenblum and Marlena Childress.

So what was the deal with them asking for story submissions a couple years ago, then no new programs are ever made, as far as we know.

Did they ever plan to do new programs and changed their minds or are they actually working on a project?

ETA - I just went back and read through the whole thread. Last year the UM website put up a stupid email story suggestion that's still there a year later, UMnewstories@gmail.com:

Have you ever heard of a story about family members that committed a murder together? (Uh, yeah.... the Noes! You profiled them and ignored the huge update.)

I'm thinking if this is for real, it's got nothing to do with bringing UM back but is more like a lazy way for them to get stories to pitch to (some iffy) shows like Blood Relatives, Southern Fried Homicide, Behind Mansion Walls, Scorned Love Kills, Who the Bleep Did I Marry, Wives with Knives, and various Jerry Springer programs.

American Justice did an hour long program on Carrie Culberson.
