Hello All
Thank's to Crystaldawn -I was informed about some episodes I was looking for ,I have another case that I vaguely remember ,if anyone does please advise me.

It was early 90's (possibly) it was about a guy who left the Compton airport walking on the dangerous streets of the CPT and was gunned down and robbed.

Another one was where a litle kid was found in a box murdered.

A mom and two daughters go on a boat cruise with a stranger who befriends them ,rapes them all and throws them overboard,sick !@#$ this one disturbed me.

A bank branch manager was kidnapped for ransom then duct taped to a chair thrown overboard alive.

another is where a guy is kidnapped by some L.A. cholos and taken to various ATM's ,the abductor is caught on camera ,car found weeks later and the poor kids body ,in the car they found a bandana with the gang letters E/S PBS

That sounds to me like the 1988 murder of four-year-old Barbara Jean Horn. A neighbor, Walter Ogrod, was later arrested and convicted of the crime, and is currently on Pennsylvania's death row. Some are questioning his guilt.

A mom and two daughters go on a boat cruise with a stranger who befriends them ,rapes them all and throws them overboard,sick !@#$ this one disturbed me.

The victims were Joan Rogers and her two teenage daughters, Michelle and Christie. Oba Chandler was convicted of their murders and is currently on death row.

A bank branch manager was kidnapped for ransom then duct taped to a chair thrown overboard alive.

The bank manager in question was Dan Short, but he wasn't actually being held for ransom. The robbers kidnapped him to get him to open the bank so they can rob it, and then at some point they decided to do away with him.

Shannon Agofsky and his brother Joe Agofsky were eventually identified as the perpetrators. They are both incarcerated. Shannon was convicted of Dan's murder and sentenced to life in prison (and is now on death row for an unrelated murder), but a jury deadlocked on that charge against Joe. But since Joe was already sentenced to life in prison for robbery, prosecutors decided against retrying him for murder.

I'll do my best. The first one doesn't really ring a bell as a UM segment. Maybe someone else remembers it. I am familiar with the "boy in the box" story but I don't believe UM aired it.

The third one was the Rogers family. Such a sickening crime! Oba Chandler was convicted of their murder.

The 4th one is Dan Short. Brothers Shannon and Joseph Agofsky were convicted of his murder and sentenced to life without parole.

The 5th one is Matthew Chase. I don't believe anyone was ever charged with his murder.

Note: I found a few interesting things while googling about Dan Short's murder. Apparently Shannon Agofsky beat and stomped a fellow inmate to death in prison in 2004. He was convicted of the crime and sentenced to death. Another thing about the case while although isn't relevant to the crime I found very interesting was on a website that said that Dan Short told friends 3 days before his death he was laundering drug money and was in trouble.

UM never did a segment about the "boy in the box," but Amercia's Most Wanted did. Since Barbara Jean Horn was found deceased in a box, I was convinced that was the case UnsolvedMystory was referring to. In addition, UnsolvedMystory didn't specify the murder victim's gender, but did say that it was a "little kid."
