I'm watching American Greed about a computer hacker who ran a bunch of credit card forums. Then I see this kind of familiar face - it's Kevin Poulsen. He's interviewed in the segment - he is writing or wrote a book on the hacker.

I love watching Snapped too and I remember seeing the detective from the Mary Morris case on an episode.

When you see these people onscreen again it's kind of like seeing an old friend, isn't it?

I love it when that happens!

People I've seen multiple times:

-Martin Yant, journalist and private investigator (Circleville Writer, Paul Ferrell)
-Ronnie Phillips, Houston PD (Ed Baker)
-Jane Boroski, survivor of the Connecticut River Valley Killer

Was Dave Reichert in the Green River Killer segment? He is ALWAYS on true crime shows.

Detective Pat Walsh from the Bo Tanner segment, seen him in numerous other true crime shows.

Cyril Wecht. I'm starting to doubt the man's abilities. Honestly, I get the impression he takes an opposing view for the sake of taking an opposing view. If I said "The grass is green" he would say it was red because it was an opposing view. He's been investigated numerous times for corruption. The last time I saw him on t.v., he was pretty desperate for attention.

I'm kind of glad I'm not the only one who isn't really enthralled with Dr. Wecht. I share your sentiments--I think sometimes he seems more interested in devil's advocacy than forensic medicine, and at that point, you ought not be practicing.

Dr. Vincent Di Maio, however, is by far my favorite frequently featured pathologist.

I've seen the officer from the Jean-Marie Gagnon segment (can't remember his name, but he's the one who famously said "I'm surprised it took them so long" regarding Gagnon and Bourgeois' escape) on a few other crime-related documentaries.

Saw one on one of the 30 minute CBS Reality shows recently-it was the case where the black guy was hassling people in a car park outside a store & the guy ended up giving him a lift but became uneasy about the guy & told him that was as far as he could take him at which point the guy assaulted him but he escaped & ended up later seeing him near his mothers home & it turned out the guy had broken in & killed his mum & the cops didn't believe his story.

It had the son on there talking & also some of the cops-although with some of those shows they use actors to play the cops.
