Did the Brazos River Attack episode appear on the Farina episodes? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

JannTosh · 01-23-2014, 04:22 AM

It sounds like one of the scariest segments ever but never saw it. The Farina version if it exists is the only chance I will have

It was pretty creepy. I've only seen the case once and it was with stack in the 90s I think. As far as I know it wasn't solved so hopefully they added it to the farina lineup, but I haven't seen one so not sure. A friend of mine is looking for his vhs collection to see what um episodes he may have. I'm hoping he has it somewhere.

I have never seen this segment, so I don't know if it was remade into a Farina segment or not....but I will tell you what I do know about this segment. A couple of years ago I stumbled across a site (and I posted the info here, maybe if you do a search you can find it?) describing how the Teresa woman from the segment made the whole thing up, how she has spent her entire life trying to scam/cheat the world to get ahead, and that LE do not believe her at ALL anymore....apparently LE thinks she made the whole attack up. Here is the link that had this information:

Never seen it on the Farina version. I've seen it one time on a Lifetime rerun when Stack was the host. I want to say it was a segment done around the 96-98 seasons.

I remember reading that she may have been lying about what happened, but can't recall the details. I think there may be some discussion on this board regarding the veracity of her account.

I need to dig around here a bit and see if I can find the thread.

TracyLynnS · 01-24-2014, 01:49 PM

Well phooey.

I searched using "theresa" and "Brazos River" and variations of those with some other words, and didn't really find a thread where we were discussing the case.

Maybe I just read the blog and imagined that we talked about it here? I dunno, but I thought for sure that we had some In Depth discussion about this case.

What was it called on UM? Maybe I can search using the name of the segment and see if there's any info there.

Also, I think the movie "river wild" or "the river wild" was about this case so I'm off to search using those words.....

TracyLynnS · 01-24-2014, 03:08 PM

I'm useless.

I searched all over here and couldn't find any real discussion about the brazos river case, just references to the blog.

BTW, the link upthread doesn't work for me so I did a search and found it here:

http://keepitrealteresa.blogspot.com/

and even that one gave me an error message at first and I had to try again.

Looked this one up on the UM wiki...if the 7 year old witnessed the whole thing, was he questioned at all by police? Kinda odd there was no mention of that (as far as I could see, anyway). That blog is kind of an eyesore in terms of formatting, so could anyone who read it relay the information to us in, y'know, readable format?

Thanks for reposting the link. It defaulted to ".ca" for me, probably because it could tell my location is Canada.
As for the discussion about the River Wild segment, I found a couple of posts here:
do you think any UM cases could have been an inspiration for certain movies?

Within that thread, there is another link. I doesn't look like we really had a big discussion, though, it appears to be a couple of posts from me with a few responses

That's exactly what I thought: I wonder if they did question the son. He was probably too young to understand what rape or even sex was, but he could have either backed up or denied her account of the men even being there. The article was hard to read.

I remember first hearing about the possibility she made the whole up a little while ago, but didn't get much more info. Pretty wild, and I'd have to get more info to make a decision. TracyLynn: I'm sure there are quite a few threads on this subject, I'll see if I can find them. I need to rewatch the segment.

EDIT: Found a few threads, one of which is below. I don't think any of them have good descriptors in their title, for example: I couldn't find any with the name "Teresa" in it, so that's probably why they are hard to find.

So there is no Farina version ? Crap. Hope someone uploads the Stack version somewhere....

Cori aka ChrisSCrush · 05-09-2015, 05:23 AM

I've wondered about this pretty often, was there any evidence that it was true, and if it was why was the suspect never identified?

Hops3098 · 05-11-2015, 12:29 PM

If anyone has this episode, please PM me.

DALLASTEXAN!! · 05-11-2015, 01:12 PM

I haven't seen it since lifetime mid 2000s. But It used to feature a lot then. It was a terrible crime if it did happen. I don't doubt that it did but I would be interested to know if her son does recall what happened and if he ever discussed the topic. My guess would be no.

Hasho · 05-11-2015, 01:25 PM

I have been looking for this segment for a long time but I have never found it anywhere. The sketches look scary as f***.
