1 I would say the scary looking guy who shot a husband and wife in Canada and then killed another guy who was pulling into the rest stop. I heard they caught this guy...but that pic made my skin crawl! Also, the guy who attacked the pregnant woman at the rest stop (maybe it was the music) and the hitchiker who that guy picked up then threw out of his car and later found him to be at his house and then they found his mother dead.

2. I just cried the other day in that road rage case where the two year old was killed. How cute was that kid and the mom and dad talking about how he put the teddy bear up to his face because he thought that would protect him. The father made me break down and i saw that case three times and the same thing...however the fact they found the guy made me feel so much better.

3. I want the Molly Bish case to be solved and also the case about the Kouizalis case where she was found in the street with brain damage and died. Her Dad was Bon Jovi's manager. Another one was the girl and boy found in a picture bound and gaged. People thing that it was Tara Calico (i am not so sure) but i would really like to know the story behind that photo.

4. The Wackers case really intrigues me a lot.

Thanks for answering my questions!

I can recall most of the cases you mentioned, except for the ones you mentioned in the first one about the rest stops. I'm trying to remember, and I see some possibilities, but I'm not sure...

Does anyone know that case about the young beauty pagent model? She had a really scary picture. I think she disapeared and was never found...I saw the case a long time ago, so I don't remember the exact details, but I just remember that the photograph still haunts me to this day. Anyone know who I'm talking about? She had blonde hair and blue eyes, I think...

Her name is Tammy Leppert. The case has been discussed on this board in the past. Do a search under her name and you'll find the posts.

How about the funhouse episode where the fake dead body turned out to be a real dead body that had become petrified and added as a permanent fixture to the travelling carnival? That was disturbing, especially the part where they froze the home footage of a family going through there, and BAM! They freeze on the body hanging in the corner. EWWWWWwwwww.

Queen Mary Ghosts. The reenactments are creepy, and the sound recording of the engine room scares the hell out of me.

General Wayne's Inn. Great, classic UM ghost story.

Billy the Kid mystery. Been covered a lot by different shows, but I prefer the cheesy reenactment UM had.

There was this one I barely remember, but I believe it had a man dress up as a woman to get some kind of auto part. The story was pretty intersting.

Sonny Liston's Death. Check that one out.

Finally, there was an episode of twins seperated at birth. Only thing is, they ran into each other thirty years later, and at times brother A felt sympathy pains that brother B was actually experiencing.

it's true

dankind80 · 02-17-2005, 11:29 AM

I'm not honestly sure which episode it was, but I distinctly remember there being a segment on a funhouse ride where one of the props looked a little too real. Upon further inspection, the carnies found it to be an eerily realistic body, which they took down and one way or another had examined. It turned out this was a petrified human body, which had been preserved in some formaldehyde or laquer or what have you. There was a tatoo on the arm, i believe, and many different scenarios were posed. Instead of postin 'what the hell?' why can't you at least say 'I don't remember that one.'? Doesn't take that much effort. I should know, I just typed it.

-son of sam murders
-allagash abductions (took place a few hours away from here)
-both Roswell stories
-zodiac
-Julius Patterson

and ofcourse, the 2pac case

theres plenty of others that I can't remember, but I remember parts of alot of random segments that get neglected by Lifetime nowadays.

I used to stay up at 2am and watch the half hour segments on school nights, I regret not taping any of them

Are you sure this was an Unsolved Mysteries episode? I think you may be mistaken. Please provide airdates, names, or any other verifiable information. The only story I can think of that is even remotely close to what you described would be the infamous "Minnesota Iceman" - a frozen carnival exhibit from the late sixties that was billed as a Neanderthal man or the "missing link" by its promoters. The corpse vanished before a positive identification could be made. Whatever it was, most that saw it agree it was not human.

While I appreciate your concerns, I'll say whatever I want on here.

Dankind80 is right. I remember this case being on Unsolved Mysteries. It was a body in a Fun House or Haunted House that they determined to be a real body and they didn't know who the man was.

Hey, I'm curious to hear your theory about 2pac's murder. I myself am a huge 2pac fan, and after watching the documentary called "2pac and Biggie" I have always known that Suge Knight had something to do with his death. To me, that's the only explaination that is at all possible.

In fact, I saw it on Lifetime within the past few weeks. They even know the identity of the man, who died early in the 20th century, and some info on his background. I don't remember the name. I think he lived a shady life, maybe an outlaw or something.

A sitcom (Six Million Dollar Man?) was filming a segment at the funhouse ride, I believe in the '70s, and a worker looked at the prop and thought it might be real. An arm fell off when it was tugged at lightly. They brought the dummy to a medical examiner who verified it was a human.

Eventually they traced the body's path to a sort of oddity museum in Los Angeles. The son of the owner remembered the "dummy" from when his father ran the business, in the '50s and '60s. It made its way to the carnival ride after the father's business closed.

My bad.

Was this a "new" Lifetime story?
