Off the top of my head I liked John Brereton who identified the Bad Chief Greg Webb.

Also the couple that identified Jim Burnside, they seemed like nice people.

Those are both great choices. "Let's call the authorities and get this guy off the streets."

I liked the hotel maid who spotted Thomas Dixon (the bankrobber). I can remember her being interviewed on a national news show, and she mentioned that she had watched every UM episode 2-3 times, which sounded just like me...

I don't remember her name, but the lady who took the picture of the bank robbers as they drove by her stands out as one of my favorites...

Tipster? No idea. I'd have to think about that one for a while.

Eyewitness? Easy. Tommy Zaino, because "in a week you can't get that fat."

I really wanted to believe the woman who claims she saw Kari Lynn Nixon in South Carolina. She seemed like such an honest and concerned person.

Agreed. Tommy Zaino was hilarious.

She really did.

Tony Ballesteros.

The equivalent of an awkward shrug.

The lady (whose name was revealed after she passed away) saleswoman who saw Dana Satterfield's murder. You know how a person look when they crazy?

justins5256 · 03-24-2017, 03:11 AM

I can't even remember the specifics of this but wasn't there a fugitive that was watching the show with some friends when his case came on. He suggested changing the channel, and started pacing and acting all paranoid and suspicious. I think someone even said "hey, that looks like you!" When they showed his picture.

Anyone remember? It was as from the later seasons which is probably why I don't recall the details.

She actually was a great witness and was brave to come on the show.

I like the truck driver in the gail Delano episode.

I think you're referring to Dennis Keith Smith. I seem to remember Dennis Depue watching UM as well.

Favorite tipster has to be Suzanne Gilmore, wife of Duncan Gilmore.

First was the realization that the segment was probably in regards to her husband because Jeannie's mother had mentioned in her diary that Duncan was the sweetest, kindest man she had ever met. Then when Suzanne woke him up and had this whole funny exchange...

"Did you sleep with her?"

"What?"

"It's very important, did you sleep with her?"

"Well....yeah."

"Congratulations. You have a daughter and she's looking for you."

The way she relayed that entire conversation was endearing and funny. Then later when we see the reunion, we see how happy she is for Duncan. She positions him in front of her on the front porch when they knock on the door so father and daughter can be one-on-one when Jeannie answers the door.

Tommy Zaino was awesome.

"In a week he can't get that fat"

The guy who spotted the Freedon after it reportedly disappeared.

"Those guys need their freedom, they can't even spell the word"

Also the guy at the supermarket who had a brief interaction with Veronica Jefferson who was later abducted.

"My wife and I went to the supermarket, to pick up a few items"

I loved that one. Duncan was one of my favorite people ever profiled on the show. And yes, his wife had a great attitude and handled that situation beautifully
