What is your worst Unsolved Mysteries segment(s)? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

lettucesolve1 · 04-10-2015, 09:58 PM

(hi). is there a certain unsolved mysteries segment that you absolutely hate because its so atrocious or means-spirited? I mean there are murderers and there are super-murderers - u know the ones who over do it. Yes, a murder is a murder, but in some cases its just too gruesome to watch. Can you relate to such segments?

Here are my segments that I can never watch and must fast forward on VHS or DVD:

1. The Bible trailer fire murders. I feel sorry for the 2 dead girls. Not sure if they ever found their bodies? Have not seen this one in a while. Its just too gory because it was ones birthday and so on.

2. Tom Johnson - now this one I still watch when I see a rerun or watch my long list of segments on my made up DVDs (vhs copies). But its gruesome because of the hammer hits to the heads and that the male survivor ends up dying years later in a car accident. I watch it because they never caught the guy, its scary because it takes place in the daylight and where other people are around - motel.

3. The beautiful teenage girl who got hit in the head by a 2 x 4 or some kind of board when she was on the back of her boyfriend's motorcycle in California I believe. I just cant watch the segment and cannot watch her because its so sad that she cant talk or communicate like she used too and you knew she was going to go onto bigger and better things after high school like professional cheerleading or modeling or college. Also the fact that the person who hit her never confessed, nor did his ENTIRE group of friends turn him in! I think there are some other people too that may know like the suspect's parents or classmates but they refuse to turn him in due to it being a small town and some places like that refuse to get involved, which is evil if u think about it!

4. other segments that involved a wife beater who later kills his wife. just hate those kinds of men. another is when men who murdered their wives and get only a 10 year sentence for the murder. this also happens on F-Files episodes. I had a cousin murdered long ago when she was stabbed 30 some times by a legit schizo woman neighbor and the lady got sentenced to life only for her crooked lawyer to find a technicality or mistake and she got out after only 5 years.

....it seems like cases where the new boyfriend is all nice and charming at first and then once the woman marries him she finds out his true self - he lies a lot, is very insecure yet hides it, is a wife beater, very overprotective = very jealous, and is extremely arrogant. there was an UM segment where a former policeman/detective who was very smart abused his first wife, then later killed his second or third wife. I just cant stand these kinds of men and therefore ignore their shows

I normally skip the Tommy Gibson segment. The guy killed his son and then tried to defend him shooting at those poor cats! scumbug

Also Eileen Mangold, because her killer got off, even though his DNA was found on her dead body.

I think the Rachel Runyan case was the most atrocious one that I have seen, followed by the Blind River rest stop murders.

UMFaninMD · 04-11-2015, 11:45 AM

Danny Pinetta's rape of Nanette Brana. He was nineteen, she was thirteen, and that was icky in the first place, but then he became controlling and raped her when she ended the relationship. His family and friends started threatening Nanette and her family when they tried to bring him to justice. He was caught but paroled after only serving seven years. It was uncomfortable watching the segment.

James Donald King - wouldn't have been a segment if the parole board didn't release him. They should share the blame in the murder of his second wife.

Larry George - another fool who wouldn't take no for an answer and shot his ex-wife, her boyfriend and her friend. He was captured and put on death row.

The Baskin abduction - The Maples got what they wanted all along. The Baskin kids want nothing to do with their parents or their younger brother. It was heartbreaking listening to Mark and Debbie Baskin talk about all the things her parents put them through.

MegtheEgg86 · 04-11-2015, 03:23 PM

Ones I have to "prepared for" include:

-Dale Hyde
-Rachel Runyan
-Pretty much any segment on a pedophile
-Tommy Gibson
-Jasper Wadkins, the 'steamer trunk' victim

WishfulDreamer · 04-11-2015, 08:48 PM

Because of the gruesome nature of the segments and how horribly sad they are:

-The murder of Su Ya Kim. She had such a loving family, a happy life, and even a thriving business. I think she was likely abducted from the garage of her apartment building. It's even worse that they never caught the killer. I really think that the Vietnamese student's car may have been used or that the security guard didn't memorize the license plate correctly.

-James White and Gloria Schulze, two drunk drivers who killed innocent people and caused a lot of pain. I just can't watch either of these segments. I will cry. It makes me sick that Schulze has never been caught.

-Gary Grant Jr. I can watch this one, but seeing his cute little picture and smile breaks my heart.

-Bill Day. That update is horrible!

-I second Sageslowdive about the Eileen Mangold segment. So infuriating.

-This one might seem dumb, but the KROQ hoax. These idiots are still on the air in L.A. I really feel for Angela Cummings' mother and hope one day the killer will be caught.

I would have to agree with most of the aforementioned cases, with emphasis added to the Blind River rest stop murders, Tom Johnson, Jasper Wadkins, Su Ya Kim, and anything to do with child victims.

I would also add the "Debbie" case to this list. She was the woman from North Carolina who was kidnapped, raped, assaulted, shot in the face and left for dead. Fortunately, she was rescued by a highway patrol officer and survived her horrific ordeal. Her attacker deserves no mercy.

What was the segment that featured a young Matthew McConaughey? I'm not sure if it's already been mentioned. That was always pretty horrific to sit through.

The case where a young woman was raped, her rapist caught, and then she was murdered, left in a river, and her infant daughter was missing. Timmerman? I can't remember the name because I just can't watch that one.

Blind river is bad and is scary. Probably one of the scariest ever profiled.

For me I agree with rachel Runyon it's the one I dislike and never want to see

Hambone2421 · 04-13-2015, 08:18 AM

My vote would go to Oba Chandler murdering the Rogers women. I wrote my thesis on that case/Chandler in college. What he did to that woman and her two daughters was not only atrocious and horrifying, it was downright evil. Even though the UM segment doesn't get very in depth on it, the specifics of that case were terrible.

Yeah, this case is another one that turns my stomach. If you read some of the articles about it, the mother had taken the girls on vacation because the older one was a rape victim and was being harassed in their hometown.

kinghere1 · 04-13-2015, 08:33 PM

The murder of Roxanne Jeeves and her son Christopher are tough for me. Just like the officer in the segment said I can't imagine how someone would kill a little boy before Christmas.

The Dan Short segment is pretty tough as well. Just the thought that the man was alive when they threw him over the bridge. I hope he never regained consciousness before he died.
