The weirdest person interviewed on UM? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

justins5256 · 08-17-2005, 11:44 PM

This should be fun! Who is the weirdest person you've ever seen in a UM segment? This could be anyone. I'm not talking necessarily about the case/crime being weird, but the people involved and interviewed. Just so there is no confusion, I'll go first:

My first nominee: Sandra Tappan. She described her sighting of the Lake Champlain monster "Champ" in a 1992(?) segment, and sounded like a total whackjob. She did a hand gesture to illustrate how the monster's head surfaced and then spoke about how graceful it's movements were. Nothing I can type could do her interview justice, you've just got to see it for yourself. Regardless, she was not convincing at all, and sounded like she was on some good drugs during that interview.

Second: Jule Caylor, the husband of Dottie Caylor. He showed no emotion at all, and acted like his wife's disappearance was a bother, and that his life was better now that she wasn't around. "Things are pretty good" is a direct quote. Despite this, I do believe he has been wrongly accused, but his UM interview certainly didn't help his cause.

Third: Laurie Cabot - self proclaimed witch and psychic. This is a no-brainer.

Fourth: Sammy Wheeler's brother (was it Danny?) who said "I'm Michael Jordan and I play for the Chicago Bulls", among other stunning comments.

Fifth: Countless "lost love" people whom I can't remember. Talk about some redneck reunions. Woah!

There ya go. Add to the list. I could use a good laugh right about now.

I really hated those lost loves episodes. Maybe a few of them stand out, like when it involved elderly people, but other than that, I couldn't stand those segments.

The tall guy with long hair whose mother disappeared in Las Vegas. Can't think if his name.

Anybody?

DarkDante · 08-18-2005, 12:28 AM

Man there are tons Justin - You've named the big ones though - Caylor and Wheeler definatley would be on anyone's list. Um from the same segment (wheeler) is one of my favorites Bob Bean who is just as wacked out as wheeler in some respects. Mark Dennis' brother is also a bit of a weirdo or came across one of those guys who would debate you over whether the sky is blue or not - just a guy with some problems

Stuart Heaton, Nellie Maples (Johnny Lee Wilson's granny who calls him a "homeboy") - These last two probably don't count but um what about

The Dynamic Duo of: Franklin Delano Floyd and G. Daniel Walker? - Fun in the living room eh?

Later.

I think his name was Timothy McClure, but don't quote me on that.

Yes, his reaction and explanation for missing the "big" question on the lie detector test (did you kill your mother?) was wonderful.

OriginalNightstalker · 08-18-2005, 12:40 AM

Yeah, that's the guy thanks.

OriginalNightstalker · 08-18-2005, 12:45 AM

The couple that lived next door to the woman who was killed in or around LA that heard screams.

The guy had a peculiar first name of Jet if my memory is correct and they wore real over the top flashy clothes for the interview(even for the '80's).
There reason being that we DIDN'T want to get involved.

Composite Sketch · 08-18-2005, 12:50 AM

HAHAHA. My brother and I watched the Champ segment just a few days ago and he remarked that he thought Sandra Tappan was on drugs. For the record, while I do believe the Mansi sighting, the Tappan sighting is a contradiction in terms. They saw nothing.

Another weird one was the woman who could hear the humming noise in her head. She had strange skin that was red and blotchy where a beard would be (if she was a man).

Others were more memorable than weird. The grandmother of the suspect in the Oklahoma Wal-Mart triple disappearance for saying the word "bitching", Sonny Liston's wife saying "he didn't use no drugs... I know a dopehead when I see one", and the 'expert' on the spontaneous human combustion telling those who believe in it to "shut up and get a life".

Great choices Justin!! One that stands out for me besides the ones who mentioned is the "you know what I'm saying" guy. I don't know his name but this guy cracked me up.

No disrespect to this woman, but I thought she was VERY masculine, if you know what I mean...

LOL!!! I can't believe I forgot him!! I think his name was Lathan Williams. Damn, he must have said "you know what I'm saying" about 20 times! I may be mistaken, but I think someone actually counted once, and posted the results here!

You are thinking of a different case.

I tried to count the number of times he said it!

Edit: Oh, and I see I'm not the only one!

compulsive dvd · 08-19-2005, 01:51 PM

The two that stand out to me are the guy who claims he didn't kill his wife, even though his kids have hinted to the fact that he did. He was the one that put his wife in trash bags and then in the trunk I think. He might have had help cleaning up the scene from his parents. His interview was how he never left his kids by themselves or something and he said never have, never will.

The other one was the segment about the murder spree around the Kansas/Oklahoma area. They interviewed a guy who saw tennis shoe tracks. He was able to tell the size of the tennis shoes and told them in a strange southern accent.

Composite Sketch · 08-19-2005, 03:42 PM

The murder spree was actually in Texas and Arkansas, but yeah, that guy's accent was REALLY thick.
