need help w/ two segments - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hello, everyone --

I'm new and need someone's help. My roommate and I were discussing the scariest episodes we could recall and I came up with two. Can anyone help me identify these?

A video of an arsonist burning a building of some sort and talking to the camera..."Watch it burn..." I'm not sure of the dialogue. But, does anyone remember this one?

Also, a story about a girl who was abducted at a pay phone while on the phone w/ her boyfriend. He passed the truck while he was looking for her and his transmission went out. The truck had a mural of a fish on the back.

If anyone can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks.

I totally remember the second segment you mentioned -- about the twenty-something (or perhaps high school senior?) abducted while calling her boyfriend from a payphone. The abductor was straggly, skittish, and creepy!

I believe the incident took place in southern Missouri. But I don't know the city name.

The suspects in the arson case in California were arrested. I think they were teenagers.

The other segment was shown on Lifetime last week, no update yet.

I have seen this second segment countless times and keep hoping for an update. I also saw her mother on Donahue or one of the other talk shows
trying to get a break in the case. Her name was Angela Hammond and
she was upducted in Clinton Missouri on or around April, 1991.

Your thread reminded me of another thing I was thinking of:

What is the scariest update to an Unsolved Mysteries case that I remember....

A woman disappears and the police suspect her husband. Yet he and his wife's
family proclaim his innocence. The case itself was not memorable for me.

But when I saw the update, I was shocked.

7 years after his wife disappeared, the man suspected his current girlfriend of cheating on him. He waited for her to arrive home and he shot her and the man she was with. She was killed.

The man drove for two hours and commited suicide. I really think he was guilty
after all.

I was stunned by that update, too. I'm aware that it was a Rhode Island case (I live in Massachusetts, which is right next to RI). I wanted to believe that Stephen Marfeo was innocent of the 1990 disappearance of his wife, but I now believe that the contrary is a possibility. By killing his girlfiend, wounding her companion, and finally commiting suicide, he may have sabotaged his credibility. And if he was involved in his wife's disappearance, he should have at least given out information as to the whereabouts of her (or her body) before taking his own life.

of setting several fires in the area.Buy the way I think your my
