Robert Arcieri has been caught!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

unsolved243 · 06-02-2011, 08:34 PM

I was very surprised when I went on the Unsolved Mysteries Wiki and someone had posted that Robert Arcieri had been arrested

and there was a link to it. This is the link:

I don't think I ever thought he would be arrested.

Very Interesting. Glad this case might be brought to a conclusion now.

sffan · 06-02-2011, 09:52 PM

WOW! I thought he would never be found! I just watched this segment last night too. Wow, thats good news!

RobinW · 06-03-2011, 12:21 AM

Awesome! Now this is one I wasn't expecting to be solved since no one was even sure if he was still alive. Considering the so-called drowning took place 24 years ago, I figured that even if he did fake his own death and start a new life, he might have wound up dying by natural causes now anyway (a quick check shows that he is currently 72 years old). It's interesting to note that even though authorities were skeptical Arcieri was dead, his family still collected a $700,000 life insurance policy. I don't know how these situations work, but I wonder if they'll be expected to reimburse that money now that he's been found alive.

I'm actually quite thrilled with the number of UM cold cases that have been finding some sort of resolution or progress within the last several months. After Mike Riemer, this is the second recent case where they've finally determined whether a missing person is a fugitive or dead. Since things like this usually come in threes, I'll vote for Dub Wackerhagen to be next!

Great news. Thanks for the post. Never believed his drowning story.

I don't remember this case and can't find it online. Was it a rare segment?

You'll be able to find it if you do a search on "Bob Arcieri". I believe the only version available online is the Spike TV Dennis Farina version.

I guess Uncle Bob didn't fall in the water

2011 is kicking boo-tay so far for Updates to UM cases. Too bad the show isn't actually in production right now! grr

biscuitgirl · 06-03-2011, 10:59 AM

Okay, I looked this case up on unsolved.com. It says at the bottom that his family collected $750,000 in life insurance presuming he was dead! Will they have to pay that back now that he is alive and well??

I sure hope so. I was actually under the impression that Arcieri really was dead. I kept telling myself, "There's no way he's alive after all these years", but I was wrong. Glad that he was apprehended, though.

WishfulDreamer · 06-03-2011, 03:56 PM

Never believed the drowning story and always felt the people who said it was (that were "witnesses") were lying. Hopefully the victims will feel better about this and Arcieri can finally pay for what he has done.

chacha6581 · 06-03-2011, 06:21 PM

Ok is this the one where he was fishing with some friends and he just vanished? Or was it where he went on a solo trip and they just found a boat?

Ok now I think I know which one exactly this one is. He went for an alleged last hoorah, right before prison and happened to fall over?

crochetbuff · 06-03-2011, 07:38 PM

Wow! So did the nephews who were on the fishing trip know he was alive all this time? I'd say they did, in which case they kept that secret well.
