Name some that Lifetime hasn't shown in a long time or never?

Can everybody name some segments that Lifetime either hasn't showed in a long time or never at all?

The Mickki Joe West case is rarely shown on Lifetime.

I've never seen the Don Adams segment on Lifetime. Or the Tara Calico segment, either.

There are a lot of segments Lifetime has never shown. Probably more than we realize. Here are some I don't think Lifetime has ever shown:

Billy Hargrove & Mike Carmichael - 2 Army men, best friends, found hanging on the base within 6 weeks of each other under strange circumstances.

"Debby" - woman who was shot in the face & raped. Very disturbing one.

Eric & Pam Ellender - young couple murdered in their bed while they slept

Roxanne Jeeves - murdered along with her 5 year old son on his birthday.

Tony Alamo - self styled preacher and clothing designer, wanted.

Rogest Cain - elderly man missing but reported sightings of him.

Doyle Wheeler - retired cop claimed he was shot in the head by intruders that he believe were hired by fellow DS officers.

"Bonnie Wilder" - woman who stole from department stores where she was employed.

Melody Martin - married to a black man but after her third child was born flipped out started making racist remarks and kidnapped her youngest child.

Robert Leeds - man wanted for stealing valuable paintings

I'm sure there are lots others but those are just off the top of my head.

It's been a while, but I haven't seen that segment about the guy (named Jewel?) whose wife disappeared after he dropped her off at the airport. I think her name was Dottie? Dottie was agoraphobic but finally worked her way out of being scared to go out of the house. Jewel was so downright strange that I don't even think he was involved, though his remark that he was content and happy without her was kind of insensitive, to say the least. The best part of the segment is when they cut to his interview and he starts off with "...and she was standing over me with that knife..." Anyone who has been married a while usually laughs at that line! I miss Jewel and Dottie.

Just thought of another of my favorites that they rarely show: the elderly couple who gave a homeless man a sandwich and let him rest. Before he leaves, they scrape together all the cash they have in the house (which wasn't much, being on a limited income) and give it to him. He seemingly disappears when they look to see him walk away. Then, that Christmas they receive an anonymous card with money. Years after, more cards. They think it's from the man once he got back on his feet. Great story because they treat the man with dignity, compassion, and respect rather than giving him a copy of "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" and a lecture about using your bootstraps to pull yourself up!

they should show the one with the guy more.

The last time they aired this one was back in October or November.

This one aired last in July.

Well any of the specials (3 in total) not featuring Robert Stack as the host but Raymond Burr or Karl Malden - There were some good stories on those includuing:

Don Kemp (Man abandons his car in the Wyoming Prarie and is never seen again until his bones are found several years later. His mother believes he was kidnapped and murdered)

Wanda Jean Mays (Young woman disappears in the middle of the night while staying at her uncle's cabin.)

John Burns (Mysterious "man without a past" kills his mistress and then vanishes)

"The Jai Alai Murders" (Three seperate murders in three cities which were later found to be connected to Whitey Bulger)

----

There are also a few segments from the specials Robert Stack hosted which for one reason or another have never been syndicated

Jon Yount (Inmate from Pennslyvania falls in love with a housewife who helps him escape from jail)

Missy Munday and Jerry Strickland (Fugitive couple who murder Missy's co-worker at a gas station)

-----
There was a UFO segment featured in the first "regular run" episode of the show (which also featured Gail Delano among other cases) which has never been syndicated.

There is also the extortion case in which anonymous letters written on a computer were sent out to random people in California telling them to "pay various sums of money or they would die". The letters contained intimate details about the people whom they were sent to. "Lifetime" has aired an update on this case when the extortionists were captured but the full segment has never been syndicated.

Well, apparently that Marisa Maugeri segment qualifies. I don't remember seeing it on Lifetime and I searched this forum and her name didn't come up. I assume the writer got it right and the case was featured on UM but I'm surprised I don't remember it, especially if they mentioned Publix which is a big supermarket chain but very regional and almost exclusively in Florida and the southeast.

In case it hasn't already been mentioned, I would say Doyle Wheeler. He was the California police officer who claimed that a couple of men tried to kill him. The segment originally aired in November 1989, and was never shown on Lifetime. (The segment briefly mentioned that he was one of the cops who arrived at the scene of the notorious McDonald's restaurant massacre in July 1984.)

I can't recall if I've mentioned this on the board before, but Donovan Jacobs (the officer Wheeler testified against, and whom Wheeler believed was behind the attempt on his life) sued UM as he was unhappy with his portrayal in the segment in question. I would highly suspect this is why it has never turned up on Lifetime.

Don Adams as in Maxwell Smart, Secret Agent 86? If so, what was the nature of the story?

As far as segments Lifetime has NEVER shown, there are quite a few. I posted a fairly comprehensive list on this board a few months back. In case you're still interested, here is a link to it: http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/...d.php?t=147233

To add a couple more (I'm too lazy to look up the airdates, sorry :-) )

- A story about a Miami sting operation to catch coke and marijuana dealers in which the feds used a cellphone shop as a front.

- CW Roddy, an elderly antidrug activist was shot by gang bangers. She survived.

- The search for Melveen Aprille, who was wanted for stealing over two million dollars from her ailing husband's bank account. She also abducted their two children.

- an update on the arrest of the boyfriend of one of the fortune teller con-artsts profiled during season two.

- an update on the apprehension of the Nevada horse killers.

- numerous "FBI alerts" with William Sessions and Floyd Clarke.

As far as stories that Lifetime has not shown in a long time, I would suspect that list is even longer, and possibly a little subjective. I can think of quite a few stories I personally have not seen on the network IN YEARS, but I don't watch the show every day.
