Looking for yet more resolutions....

Hi all, me again asking about a few cases:

1. The I70(or was it 60) access killer. Was he ever apprehended?

2. Does anyone remember the firefighter from Maryland whose ex wife kidnapped their son and he ended up finding out that the son died and he was never told?

Thanks!!

The case about the firefighter (Bill Day) to me is one of the saddest cases on UM. Again much like The Baskin case, I think the case of Bill Day and Betty Field is a case where we didn't get the entire story as it seemed that Betty's disposition towards Bill changed overnight in regards to sharing custody of their son Christophe.

The segment really focuses on Bill Day's odyssey in trying to find his son and while its very easy to hate Betty Field for what she did and I don't have the nicest feelings towards her, but the ending is so tragic that the feeling I'm left with is: that first off obviously I feel terrible for Bill Day having searched for his son for so many years only to learn that his son died before he was able to locate him.

As for Betty Field while I still feel her actions were pretty much deplorable based on what we know from the segment if I was more cynical I'd say its almost poetic justice in that she tried for so many years to keep her son away from his father only to lose him herself to cancer. The problem is I'm not that much of a cynic and its hard not to see the real tragedy in this story is not the parents' divorce or Betty Field's actions afterwards but the loss of Christophe.

This case really bothers me, I think about it a lot and I wished that we had more closure on it than UM gave us. I hope Bill Day is doing well and as for his ex-wife although I think she should've been convicted of kidnapping I guess I feel bad for her too losing her son the way she did.

Very sad case.

I get really confused by all of the freeway murderers. I think there is a I-75 killer who they think was coming down and killing people from way up north all the way down to Texas. I however think there are two different I-70 killers. One was the one they thought was maybe Herb Baumeister. I'm waaaaaaay confused. Anyone want to clear it up????

There is an I-70 killer that was killing gay men and burying them on his property. His name was Herb Baumeister and he shot himself before being brought to justice. He was featured on one of those hour-long A&E programs.

Then you have the I-70 killer that was featured on UM. He would go into strip mall businesses where he would shoot the women clerks (usually after taking them to a back room), then he would flee (the interstate being a perfect getaway route). He operated along I-70, then moved down to Texas and committed more murders down there along I-35. I wonder if he was apprehended for something else and (being that it was Texas), probably got a long prison stretch. Or he moved somewhere else again.

Baumeister would target male homosexuals and strangled his victims. The I-70 targetted females in women's clothing stores and stores that cater to women and he would shoot his victims, so they are unrelated.

Then you have the I-70 rapist, Daniel Remeta. This tells you more about him:

Thanks. I think I will stay the hell away from I-70.

I'd be more concerned with staying away from I-45 in Texas.

I try to state off the highways in Texas period. If i dont get hit by crazy drivers, or murdered by some maniac, I still have to worry about the cops and Texas State Troopers. I'm not sure who I fear more. At least I don't have to worry about Sheriff James “Humpy” Parker.
