Under the Radar States where, surprising to you, many cases happened? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The title is rather odd, but I was thinking about it, and prior to watching UM, some of these states were more "under the radar" to me, as I never really heard too much about them. However, quite a few cases happened there. The two that come to mind are:

New Mexico:

Tara Calico
Anthonette Cayadito
Fr. Reynaldo Rivera
David Stone
Steve Sandlin
etc...

Montana:

Morris Davis
Dexter Stefonek
etc...

Any others?

Lisa Kimmel comes to mind. I know she was "seen" in Montana(she was from there as well but was living in Colorado). She was also seen in Wyoming I believe...

Usually the 'lonely' states are more prone (i.e. creepy) for crimes to happen. Like the lonely ski resort town where the orange socks murders occurred (Colorado).

New Mexico is a very high crime state.

Maybe this sounds biased coming from the L.A. area but I've never thought of any state as under the radar in terms of crime. Crime happens all over the place so I guess I never thought of it that way. Sadly, even out in the boonies among beautiful scenery crime can happen just like in the metropolitan areas (and unfortunately, less witnesses are around to see it). How many cases were on UM alone where the people would say, "Hey, violent crime hasn't happened here in 20 years/ever/ people used to never lock their doors..." Even where you least suspect it : (

I'm not surprised a few noteworthy crimes/mysteries happened in Ohio. I live in Ohio. and some parts of it are downright creepy! but people think we all live on farms and are hicks. ha!

Rhode Island! It's so tiny and I feel like it never gets any press, but you've got Doreen Marfeo and the Woonsocket attacks, and Adam Emery.

My area produced (and thankfully more recently, caught) the Bike Path Rapist, which has always loomed large because the community routinely shows up in the 'safest towns in America' rankings.

That's because Walt and Jesse are cooking meth over there.

It seems like every single unsolved murder ever committed happened in Spokane, Washington.

xxxxmattxxxx69 · 08-08-2011, 01:25 PM

Mass. has some good cases for a state not expected but there was Whitey Bulger, the Boston rapist, the Boston strangler, the murder of Susan Taraskiewitz, Molly Bish, and some car crash on the Mass Pike where a stranger pulled a baby out of the backseat to save them and the family just wanted to thank the man(fuzzy on the names)

For me, it seemed like every episode contained a segment from either Florida or Louisiana.

UMFaninMD · 08-08-2011, 08:10 PM

It seems so much goes down in Florida for some reason. Same thing with Washington state. Ann Rule will never go out of business writing books about murders out there.

My home state of Maryland has been featured a few times on UM---Oliver Munson, Keith Warren, Tracy Kirkpatrick and Alicia Showalter-Reynolds. A lot of the crime in Maryland, especially the Baltimore area, deals with drugs, gang violence, robbery-turned-murder and witness intimidation. It's rare that you get serial killings in this state, which is a good thing. Of course, any type of crime isn't good either.

xxxxmattxxxx69 · 08-08-2011, 08:13 PM

Any one from Maryland how can you not say Brad Bishop as a crime in your state?

UMFaninMD · 08-08-2011, 09:23 PM

Probably because they focused so much on him going overseas and that spotting in Italy. Well, at least for me anyway.
