Clarence Roberts DeathS (story in book) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

hostedbyrobertstack · 04-24-2009, 12:49 AM

So I have this "Unsolved Mysteries" book that I started to read again. The book is from the case files of True Detective magazine, and has nothing to do w/ the show. Anyways, the story of Clarence Roberts is in the book. The story there seems to be a little different. It seems as though a lot of people didn't believe it was Clarence in the first fire years BEFORE the second fire even took place. There are a few other things as well. I could always scan the pages and let you all read, but they also give a shout out to our Unsolved Mysteries, saying "Last year the case drew more attention as it was featured on NBC's Unsolved Mysteries. All of the people played themselves and the film director even questioned if Clarence would show up to portray himself." It is a pretty interesting read.

Interesting. Have to check it out.

BTW, has anyone noticed that Clarence Roberts plan is nearly the same as the villain in the Sherlock Holmes story "The Norwood Builder"? Wonder if ole Clarence was a Arthur Conan Doyle fan.

hey, hostedbyrobertstack, can you give us the information on the book so I can try and find it at the liberaritorium or a Border's & Nobles or something?

I'm thinking: title, author(s), year, publisher, etc.

Danka!

Here is actually a link to the amazon listing for it. Never would have found it just by looking:

http://www.amazon.com/Unsolved-Myste.../dp/1558176543

of course there is no picture. Anyways, this is a really good read. I had read murderers among us, and I think this might even be better than that. A lot of obscure cases I have never heard of. I feel like I am reading the show.

I scanned a picture but cannot add it.
