Info needed about these cases

[1990 UM fan]

There are a few I've been thinking of for awhile and I don't know the names of them or if they've been solved. The first is the one where a woman and her son walk in on a burglary in their own home and the woman, in a panic, runs toward the burglars and they tie her and her son up. Her husband was also bound and gagged by the burglars before she and her son got home. I think this one happened in 1994. The other one I think was a "special alert" case. This one showed a white man, kind of dressed like the Terminator, caught on a bank surveillance camera. This other white male shown on the same episode was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt and his face was caught up close on a surveillance camera near a gas pump or something. I'm pretty sure the last one with the guys caught on the cameras was an Unsolved Mysteries episode of some sort. If anyone can help me, please let me know.

Was the first one a part of a series of home robberies in TN? If so I believe the perps were caught and sent to prison and the husband has since passed away.

The first one was the home invasions in TN but no one was ever tried for those and the statute of limitations expired. There's too many bank robberies. The only one I can think of with 2 men showed on UM was William Kirkpatrick. The only details I remember was a lady snapped a photo of him with a disposable camera(90s much). Never was said of his accomplice. I don't think that's it but maybe it is

Yes, I do believe so. Where did you get the information about the burglar's arrests and one of the victims passing away since then? Please forward it to me when you can.

If that's the one where bank robbers took a lady hostage and then another driver snapped a photo of them while driving past them, then I have seen that one before, but it's not the one I'm looking for. All I can remember is that the one I'm referring to was one of those "the authorities need your help identifying these suspects" kind of deal. I'm not 100% sure that it was an Unsolved Mysteries episode, it may have been a AMW episode, but I can't clarify that either.

I meant to respond to this yesterday but it slipped my mind. I think the second case could be the one about how surveillance cameras and computer technology have helped solve crimes. It may have been an "investigators" segment, but I'm not sure. Anyhow, at the end, RS detailed several cases where there were clear surveillance photos and videos of several different subjects who had yet to be identified.

One case involved a man who was robbed (and possibly pistol whipped) while using an ATM late at night. The bank surveillance camera photo of the robber was shown. He was wearing a hooded sweatshirt or jacket and had the hood portion over his head and very tightly drawn so you could only see his eyes and nose. I believe the robbery occurred in Florida in the early to mid-nineties.

I think another story from this segment involved the shooting deaths of several people in a gas station in which there was surveillance footage of the robber - he was wearing a ski mask but because of a lump on his upper back, police speculated he may have had a pony tail or a physical deformity. Does any of that sound familiar?

The first part you mentioned sounds very familiar. I wonder if that's the hooded sweatshirt guy case I've been thinking about. The second one is also familiar, but I don't think it's that one either. This man had on dark sunglasses and a black coat, possibly leather. It may have been an early 90's case that I'm thinking of but it's hard to really know with there being so many cases like this and not having the actual episode in video form to look over.

The one with the hump on his back that they say might be a ponytail was the murder of Brian Forguth in Ohio.

i think the home invasion sounds like the Cawoods. I believe the father did just recently pass away within the last few years.

I watch so many true crime tv shows, that I can't remember where I heard it from. I did however find this on the net, and am thinking I might have heard the update on UM???
