The 1st case I remember - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

sugarbaby · 05-14-2006, 05:51 PM

The 1st case that I remember pieces of was about a girl that had disappeared and when her family went to wake her in the morning, she was gone and there was a broken window with blood on it. And then they followed the trail of blood and found it leading to a lake and a canoe but they never found the girl or a body. Does anyone else remember this case? Can you help me fill in the details?

I can't even remmeber my first case that I saw.

I think you are thinking of Wanda Jean Mays (spelling I'm unsure of). I personally think she just wondered off. I think it's on Crystaldawns favourite's volume 1 if you wanna see it again. oh and my first case is easy, Donald Kemp

siamesemeg · 05-14-2006, 11:25 PM

Yep, Wanda Jean Mays. Funnily enough, this is the first case I remember as well. I just watched it again for the first time in close to twenty years on Crystaldawn's DVD. Freaky. Poor gal, she probably did just run off in some kind of psychotic break or something.

The Donald Kemp case is perplexing in that I'm not certain what the mystery is - he really seems to have died in the blizzard. Was great to see/hear Raymond Burr hosting again, though.

^ I've always felt Don Kemp suffered a minor stroke which led to his death in the prarie.

Don Smith was the first case I saw... it scared the HELL out of me when I was younger.

Oddly enough, the Wanda Jean Mays segment was the very first one I remember as well. I remember it being the first segment of the episode, and later on in the show they had a segment about a girl getting attacked in a park I believe, and she suffered amnesia. Like Siamesemeg, I just saw the segment for the first time in nearly 20 years on Crystaldawn's dvd.

Sugarbaby, here's a couple of the things I remember about the case that will help you with some of the details. Earlier in the day she disappeared, she was riding in a car with her father, and her father stated that she acted like she wanted to tell him something, but ended up not mentioning it. Her dad later dropped her off at their uncle and aunt's house. Her aunt and uncle went to wake her up around 5 a.m. and found the door locked. They eventually got the door open and found that Wanda wasn't in the room. The window was broken, but the weird thing was: it was broken from the inside. (leading many to speculate whether she broke it herself, or did a perpetrator(s) come in the house and break it inside themself(ves).) A couple of unconfirmed sightings of her in the area were reported, including one with her walking down the road with her head down and wearing oversized men's clothing. Hope this helps.

thanks wiseguy....I couldn't remember all of the details except for the really scary parts about the blood. And I remember I was pretty young and did not sleep very well for the next couple of weeks because it happend in her bedroom!

James T · 05-15-2006, 06:33 PM

I cannot remember but the first couple of cases I seem to recall are the DJ Murder and a case where a child saw his/her mum being murdered in I think 1981 and was a ble to give a partial ID of the suspects features

crystaldawn · 05-15-2006, 08:03 PM

I believe a friend of Wanda Jean Mays posted here several months ago and she is still missing. I think she left the bedroom on her own and was even in the canoe but I'm unsure after that if she wandered off or was abducted. I tend to think that was her that was spotted in the men's clothes walking down the road. However there was also a witness that claims she saw Wanda in a car with a couple of mean looking guys. If she wandered off and died of exposure or even committed suicide its suprising to me her remains haven't been found.

As far as the first UM segment I remember boys on the tracks would be it. I also have some faint recollections of the Dennis Walker (missing baseball memorabilia) one from back when it originally aired.

Don't feel bad GGF I struggled to remember my first case even though I know I've seen every episode.

The earliest one I can clearly remember though is the JaiLai Murder one.

The earliest case I can remember involved a girl (pre-teen?) who was drowning in a swimming pool and she was having a near-death experience, where she was entering this brick wall tunnel towards the light. It was likely part of a whole sequence of those segments (ones that today I'd ignore but it caught my attention then!) I want to say that case was from the end of the 80's, since I started watching the show back in 1988 but I can't remember. For some reason, that case haunted me for years until I saw it repeated on Lifetime a couple years back.

wiseguy182 · 05-17-2006, 03:37 AM

Stack, I was just thinking about that case about the girl in the swimming pool the other day, oddly enough. I can't remember whether or not it's on the miracles set, but it would be a good addition to it nonetheless.

Beetlejuice69 · 05-19-2006, 12:01 AM

Billy the Kid was the first one I remember.

compulsive dvd · 05-19-2006, 01:13 AM

The first one I saw was about a guy who had killed his mistress. The mistress had found out the man was married. The wife's name was Anna. I remember how he shot the woman in the reenactment with a shotgun. I probably saw a rerun considering all the wanted cases in the show had updates. They found this guy, he was real small and had white hair. The show also had someone named I think Robert Clark or Robert Smith. They caught him too. I remember him winking at the camera in footage the had of his arrest. I did not sleep well for months after I saw this show. Once I got over that, I tried watching again and was hooked.
