The second I saw this thread title and the author that is the precise direction I thought this discussion was going to lead.

One of Rochelle's friends mentioned in the segment that there was a specific man that was harassing Rochelle in the months prior to her death. Maybe the guy who was allegedly "stalking" Rochelle found out about her involvement with Michael & became really jealous? He could have followed her that night & when he witnessed Rochelle & Michael in the car he just snapped & killed them both?

Or.... does anyone think that perhaps Michael's wife may have had something to do with it? Did she take a polygraph test? She could have found out about the affair and hired someone to kill them or maybe killed them herself. Far-fetched I think but stranger things have happened.

Thoughts?

I need to rewatch this segment for two reasons. One is to laugh at the alleged connection between the murders and "Magic: The Gathering." (Side note: I've actually played Magic on a few occasions. Nothing sinister OR satanic there, although UM certainly did not display it in that light--I had a deck that constantly created squirrels for the purpose of attacking the other players. Squirrel attacks. Yeah. Totally satanic in nature. )

Secondly, I WOULD like to re-examine the investigation around Michael's wife. She would certainly be a likely suspect. Part of me wonders iff she knew that he was having the affair but was just turning her head the other way and Rochelle/Michael really were the victims of random violence. As we're all well aware, though, true "random" acts of violence are far less likely than a crime committed by someone we know.

this isn't resurrection mary thread or ufo abduction thread where witnesses say they saw ghost or were abducted.

Unsolved Mysteries did over 3 1/2 segments on ghosts and demons. Didn't you watch?

I copied this from a better thread, but here were/are my impressions...

I just watched this one again for the first time in quite a few years.

I thought the PI and psychic angle was pretty much BS, and I got the vibe it was added to the story to sensationalize it and/or pad the length of the segment due to a lack of evidence regarding the actual circumstances behind the crime.

From the get go, it appears obvious that whoever did this was targeting Rochelle. I say this because the assailant killed Michael by slitting his throat and shooting him and his body was left at the scene with no attempt to hide it. Rochelle was transported some distance away, stabbed repeatedly, and her body dumped and covered by a cardboard box.

The fact that the perp went out of (presumably) his way to prolong things by transporting Rochelle to another location, stab her repeatedly (which is very messy, and a very personal way to kill someone) in what seemed like a frenzied overkill suggests that the perp was targeting her in what was likely a crime of passion type scenario. The fact that he covered her body after the murder could have been done out of some remorseful feelings. Also, the fact that he used a box that forensics showed had been in his car or residence for some time suggests that he's not a very smart murderer, and that this was an amateur job. Why leave behind something like that which could be potentially traced back to you?

The stalker angle certainly seems the most viable direction. Unfortunately, without knowing the man's name, and just going by a sketchy description and not the greatest composite, it seems like the chances of finding him aren't great.

Failing that, I think the police need to investigate the people who were close to Rochelle at the time, specifically jealous ex's or potential wannabe suitors. That is where the killer will be.

IMO they did this to rochelle b/c these random killers like nekkid ladies. if they were gay the 2 victims roles would be reversed.
