starts at 5pm today (Dallas time), might be a repeat but I'm not sure...

On the Dateline ID channel, an episode of "Murder in Paradise" - per TV guide, the preview says "An Ohio woman and her two daughters are killed in Tampa" - I'd have to think this relates to the Oba Chandler / Joan Rogers case

yep, it was. This case sure does make the rounds. It was also on Cold Case Files, Forensic Files, Scene Of The Crime, Crime Stories, and On the Case With Paula Zahn (two-part episode). whew.

Yeah, that case is overexposed. Very sad but not as interesting as so many others that deserve multiple looks.

For one thing, Oba Chandler is a stump. Nothing impressive or intriguing about him at all. I agree with one of the detectives or prosecutors in one of the episodes, who said that she expected some unique qualities from a person who could pull off a con and multiple murders, but that Chandler upon first impression offered nothing of the sort, and that held up subsequently.
