Identify these episodes for me please - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

You would think I'd know all of the episodes by now, but now. Some are still unknown to me.

I saw a clip of I Love The 80's which featured a segment on Unsolved Mysteries. Towards the end there was an older woman who was standing in a dark room. She turned around and Robert said "Kay had just enough time to catch a glimpse of the stranger." Or something like that. I don't know what episode that was.

Another episode I actually saw on the new version of UM. Some guy who was a member of a radical constitutionalist group shot a cop who pulled him over. I believe this guy used to host his own radio program too.

Any details or updates pertaining to these two cases would be appreciated as well. Thanks.

The first one was a haunting story about a couple by the name of Tatum. I remember something about a ringing bell in the house, too.

The first one is the Kay and Jim Tatum case. They lived in Atlanta, Georgia and Kay claimed that a ghost was teasing her. They kept a bell out that Kay used to signal for Jim if she needed something. The "ghost" used the bell when Kay was asleep, so they decided to have a secret code in which if she rang it 3 times, he'd know it was her. The "ghost" kept ringing the bell even when Kay was asleep, so they stopped using the bell for communication. Famed parapsychologist William Roll investigated the case.

I don't recall the second one but the only one I know about a cop being shot after pulling someone over was Martin Ganz, who was shot in December of 1993 while taking his nephew with him out on patrol.

First one is, without question, Jim and Kay Tatum and the poltergeist from the October 1988 ghost themed episode.

The second one is a Lifetime created episode from 2001 or 2002. I saw it semi-recently, but I forget the guy's name. He was some ultra right wing militant nutjob who was trying to start a "war". He was pulled over for some extremely minor traffic offense and opened fire on the officer. He was subsequently caught not long after this aired. I could probably find it as I have the episode on a DVD. If anyone remembers the dude's name, please feel free to post it.

Is the second one this case?

http://unsolvedmysteries.wikia.com/w...ephen_Anderson

Aired in 2002 and he was captured about a year later.

Or was it some guy in a brown van? Or at least it was a brown van in the reenactment I think.

Tracy,

You're correct. Stephen Anderson was the guy I was referring to.

Thanks.

I vaguely remember the case but I've definitely seen it before.

Just because I don't want to create another "help me identify this case thread" can anyone tell me the names in the case where the man shoots his ex-wife when she comes out of the shower and shot her lover in the living room? It's a later segment and that one haunted me because of the reenactment where she grabs the shower curtain and the rings pop off. I want to find it on the forbidden site!

Wow, that was fast! Thank you, that's it. I'm going to go a-hunting now. Those later segments can be difficult to find.

You're welcome. I had no luck finding it, but maybe you'll have better luck finding it than I did.

No luck. It's been ages since I've seen that segment. Yet another time I wish they'd put more of these cases out on DVDs! They really should consider especially because of these still-wanted fugitives like Kemp; they'd make bank (people still love unsolved mysteries!) and potentially help catch more criminals- what do they have to lose? Missing persons cases especially should be released, in my opinion.

I know that the early 2000s cases are not as popular (and I agree that the quality is much lower) but some of them are so interesting and difficult to find. I'm hoping that more of them get released.

He was profiled on a recent episode of America's Most Wanted.
