Has anyone seen that one mystery where Matthew McConaughey portrays a man who is violently murdered by this child molester.
The mystery starts off with a woman in her bathroom and suddenly she sees this man in her mirror. She rushes at him and starts screaming and kicking him and gets a gun, begins shooting at him and he runs off. Later, they go into this story about some of his previous crimes, including this one where Matthew McConaughey plays a man who witnesses the molester, approaching some children with his pants down. Matthew McConaughey gets into a fight with him and the man begins shooting him in the chest. The man goes back to his truck and gets a rifle to finish Matthew McConaughey off. This story is one of the most memorable mysteries in the way they recreate it. After seeing it, you really have a feeling that this man is a cold hearted killer who needs to be put to justice. |

Those who've seen the segment in recent years have probably seen the update of it, which says the killer was caught soon after its December 1992 broadcast. He went to trial, was convicted, and sent to 70 years in prison (he'll be over 100 years old before he gets out, so he'll most likely remain in jail until he dies). |

I remember that segment so well! I was so angry. I'm relieved to hear that man was caught!! (I never noticed that Matthew M. was in it.)

That case was the scariest I've ever seen, in that you really felt the killer was cold-blooded. The worst was when he shot the Matthew M. guy with a pistol, walked slowly back to his pick-up truck, got a rifle and began shooting at him again. He was caught a few minutes later, and brought back to the crime scene by the police. When the victim's sister (a tiny, high-school cheerleader) saw him she began slapping and punching him. The police had to hold her back, she was so angry.
I'm glad the authorities later tracked him down. |

I remember that story, as well. One of the few moments when I wanted to jump through the TV and kick that guy's butt.
The son was played by Matthew McConaughey?? I never noticed! The only other actor I recognized on a an episode of US was the guy that played George Frankly in 'Mathnet' from the Square One TV series on PBS. He played an attorney questioning a suspect on one episode, and has been on others from what I have heard. |

I was watching the Tanya Koprick segment the other day, and I noticed Holmes Osborne playing one of the Professors at the school where Tanya's boyfriend (and murderer
) was kicked out. If you don't know who I'm talking about, he played Donnie's Dad in "Donnie Darko." Strangely enough, IMDB doesn't list UM in his credits, but I know for a fact it was him. He's got a very distinctive face.

I've never heard of him or that show. I looked at his IMDB profile and didn't recognize ever having seen him in any of those shows. But the MM episode is sad because the person MM portrays is a marine. I just don't remember if he was out of the corps or if he was home on leave
