within the next few minutes on the east coast on NBC. Sorry this warning is so late. I just happened to catch a preview for it as as was getting ready for work.

I was able to see most of the segment. Nothing new that I noticed but they said something to the effect that the parents were on their way to a reunion so maybe even today they'll be able to see their kids. That would be great!

Are you kidding me!!! I would have Tivo'ed it! Ahhh I'm going to miss it. Maybe I'll be able to catch a clip on their website though!

Thanks for letting us know!!!

It was kind of a bust. Nothing new. They did show some pictures of the kids that looked like they were ripped from UM (one had the marble background). I was wondering if there was going to be an interview with the Baskins but no such luck.

Mystery Lover · 02-05-2009, 09:43 AM

So it was just a segment about it? Were the Baskins on it at all? I looked on the Today Show website but I haven't found a video link yet for it.

Go to msnbc.com

to the right there is link to video, at least for today.

to the right at the top of the page. They actually show and talk to their parents. I'm so elated that these children have been found. You know they have to be reeling from this, I can't wait until we hear what all happened.

I think we should all keeps our eyes and ears open to any other news shows they'll be one and post them here. I'm hoping Dateline will do an hour long special about the case in the near future.

yuppielawyer · 02-05-2009, 11:53 AM

If I'm doing this right, this should be a link to the actual video.

DarkDante · 02-05-2009, 11:57 AM

LOL they really did piggyback off the UM segment there and still got a number of things wrong. Those composites are several years old (not weeks old as TODAY claimed) and there is no chance in hell that Marvin Maples is seventeen years old.

Yeah, I had to do a double take on the Tivo when she said he was 17

That would be awesome. I'd love to see that. It would be a way of putting all the pieces together as to what happened when.

I can't watch this video at school so I'll have to wait until I get home.

This page has a news story plus 2 video links about the case:

http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/us...South-Bay.html

Both Marvin Maple's bartender and his neighbor say the same thing--"He must have had a good reason for doing what he did." While I can appreciate the bewildered state someone would be in upon finding out that a guy you knew for so long and thought was harmless was accused of something like this, I hope that they are able to get the full facts of the case before they automatically take his side.

It appears that the Baskins are flying out to California today to reunite with their children. Here's hoping it goes as smoothly as possible.

The headline makes it sound like the reunion has already happened. Then later says that they aren't sure if the baskin's will see the "kids". Then it says the kids were abducted in 1978.

I think I'll wait too, to see what REALLY happens.

Mystery Lover · 02-05-2009, 12:50 PM

I'm glad I'm not the only one who heard her say that Marvin was 17 yrs old! lol I was like... huh?!

Seems like news people are jumping the gun here and trying to get the story out that they're making mistakes here and there. They should really get their story straight before they say or post stuff.
