Any cases people have heard about on here but have actually never seen?

bell83 · 01-02-2011, 02:37 PM

I'm pretty sure I've never seen the Kathy Ford case.

The Jeffrey MacDonald segment is undoubtedly the most highly discussed UM case around here that I've never actually seen, but the case is so widely known that there's information about it everywhere. Still would love to watch the UM interpretation of it though.

Never seen the infamous "chocolate as an aphrodisiac" segment either, but I'm not shedding any tears over it

I've never seen the Terri Hoffman segment.

I always find that cases in which I haven't seen I'm unable to pinpoint by name. It isn't until I actually see the case in order to determine that I haven't.

I haven´t seen any of the "mythical" cases: the murder of Florida gun collector Todd McAffe; the search for conman Ed Barbara, and the segment UM made about the murder of JonBenet Ramsey. I refer to these cases as "mythical", because not even the most veteran/knowledgeable posters on the board have seen them even once, or, if they have seen them, it was only during their original airing and never again!

The MacDonald case is interesting to see, because they detail his side of the story and the prosecuting side with evidence and reenactments. One of my favorite moments is an interview with a man who claimed to have called the house that night-during the attack- as he was given the number for the wrong Dr. MacDonald and claims he spoke to a drugged out woman (and I believe he heard voices in the background). Stokely herself confirmed this phone call. While it doesn't prove MacDonald innocent, it adds to the mystery of the case. It's also intriguing to hear from the accused himself. I recommend watching the case, if you can find it.

As for the chocolate case...watch it for the comedic gold

I swear, I thought it was funny when I was really young and didn't understand all the innuendo that wasn't mentioned outright. It's even more hilarious today. Especially a warning from RS telling you not to go out and give someone aphrodisiacs without their consent!

Ed Barbara seems to be the most elusive segment ever. I haven't seen it, either.

I've never heard of that one. With the exception of RobinW's post, I haven't seen any of these cases. And I thought I was a UM junkie

I guess many of them just weren't shown after originally airing.

I haven't either.

What about cases that I've seen (and probably a lot of people on here) that have been cut off, have people actually seen the full case? eg: CW Roddy case.

Apostapler · 01-03-2011, 09:07 AM

I haven't seen the Cokeville School bomb

Yeah right...like that wasn't shoved down our throats.

Haven't seen Ed Barbara or Kathy Ford.

It's too bad you couldn't see the end of that one. Luckily Ms. Roddy survived and the end of the segment is somewhat happy as she watched her neighborhood improve and children able to play in a local park. Still no word on the guilty party, though.

Funny enough, most of the cases I haven't seen are somewhat recent compared to other cases.

Hmm...I've seen all of those segments, but again only once.

1) Todd McAffe was probably only shown twice as the case was resolved in a pretty short order (The maid he hired set him up to be robbed. She was tried and served time.)

2) Barbara (or Barbera) died while on the run, if I'm not mistaken.

3) The JonBenet Ramsey segment is so controversial and has so much potential for litigation that I doubt that it will ever be rebroadcast.

I read about David Chase segment and started searching for it with no luck. Searched online and found nothing. I do have that 16 disc dvd set that was floating around the internet. Any idea which dvd the David Chase segment was on? Case was originally shown on November 1, 1996. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
