Need Help Looking for Unsolved Mysteries Segment

[ad251]

Hello, I am an Unsolved Mysteries fan who grew up watching this show and with the first season recently being posted on Amazon, I am trying to locate some of my favorite cases from this show.

There is one case I can still not find because I remember very little about it except for a couple scenes that have stood out to my mind to this day. This case involve some woman who I remembered seemed to be tormented by an unknown assailant. One night this assailant tried to break into her home and she walked out into the hallway and saw the man's hand trying to unlock the chain lock on the door. Another thing I remember about this case, which could still be this case or it could be another case that my mind just combined into this one, was that the woman suffered from some sort of brain trauma or mental disorder, such as a brain tumor or schizophrenia.

Anyways if anyone can help me identify this specific case, I would appreciate it. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong and this segment was on a completely different show but I'm almost certain it was on Unsolved Mysteries.

That sounds like the Georgia Ann Boyd segment. It may have been difficult for you to find because it's not actually a crime segment (Wanted, Unexplained death, etc.) but is actually a "Lost Loves" case. Georgia was dating a man named Dereld Tacey and the couple was often followed, stalked, and harassed by unknown assailants. I do remember the one part of the episode where the chain is on the door and someone's hand reaches through, but the man escaped before Dereld could confront him. Eventually, Georgia became ill after having severe headaches; she later passed away. Dereld and Georgia married and had two children before she passed away; after that, he tried to contact her family but found that everything she had told him was a lie. He tried contacting former friends or people she used to work with, and everyone told him just to "drop it and forget about her".
When the story aired, relatives contacted the show and identified Georgia as "Edith Moore" and Dereld met several of her relatives. Strangely, however, it was never explained why people were stalking and harassing her, and why everyone was so secretive about her after she died.

EDIT: You could also be thinking of the Cindy James case, where a woman was harassed by an "unknown assailant" although there is debate as to whether or not she was actually being harassed or was doing it to herself. She was later found dead in a bizarre fashion, but the police ruled it a suicide.

Yes, now that you've described the Georgia Ann Boyd segment and I looked it up, that was the exact segment I was looking for. No wonder I was having difficulty finding it because it was listed as a Lost Loves case and that's one of the last ones I was expecting it to be.

Thanks for your help with identifying the segment because that was one of the only ones that has always stuck with me that I just couldn't remember enough about it to find out which segment it was. Though while it's nice to hear the husband was able to connect with the rest of Boyd's family and find out a little bit about her past, it's a shame the stalking and harassing was never explained because that's the part that intrigued me the most about the case.

Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it!

Edith Johns-Moore aka Georgia Boyd had 6 children by the age of 22. That is not normal no matter how you look at it. Her case is one of the most strange and bizarre stories I've read about that was on UM. That's saying something
