Segments Featuring Interviews With Guilty Parties

[RaidenKhan]

Hi All--
My apologies if a similar thread already exists. I was reading the Crystal Spencer threads after watching that segment on Amazon, and thinking about how if boyfriend Anton Kline was indeed involved (as some have posited), it would be super-creepy to have one of the key interviewees in the segment actually be the killer. I had a similar thought reading a Steve Sandlin thread on here; some thought David Carson knew more than he let on about the murder, or may have even killed Sandlin himself. The biggest example of this I've come across so far was the Kevin Hughes episode, where UM interviewed Chuck Dixon...and it turned out Dixon had had Kevin killed. There is something extremely unsettling about that. So my question is this: are there any other Unsolved Mysteries segments where an update later revealed that the person responsible for the crime was actually someone who appeared on camera in the segment?

Cheers,
Matt

There were several UM interviewees who are probably killers (Mark Nichols, Jule Caylor, Paul Pollis, etc.), but have never officially been charged with the crime. But here are some of the interviewees who actually faced legal trouble...

-Larry Gibson and Bob Hall went to prison for the crimes they were accused for, but always maintained their innocence and got off with pretty light sentences

-while Stephen Marfeo was never officially charged with his wife's murder, we do know he did go on to murder another woman before killing himself

-Ida Pruitt and Chad Noe were most likely involved in the Wendy Camp murders, but the only person who was actually charged (Beverly Noe) was not actually interviewed

-interestingly enough, Bonnie Haim was one of the few spousal disappearances which was solved and the husband (Michael Haim) charged with murder, but he never appeared on camera

Very interesting. Thanks, Robin!

I'm completely lost for names, but what about the story of the Woman whose skull was placed in the garden bed of a Mexican Restaurant? the main suspect - her husband (ex-husband?) was interviewed during the segment.

That was Linda Sherman. Her husband, Don, was the prime suspect, but he's never been charged. I used to be so certain he was guilty, but I'm honestly not too sure about this one any more.

All of the people in the Wendy Camp in-law mess that were on camera made my skin crawl when that episode first aired.

Those people killed an innocent child because they didn't like Wendy. May they all find justice somehow. Sick group of people...ugh!

Robert Bonderson-- committed suicide in Montana before cold-case investigators could question him about Kathy's death... While his current wife stated he left a note proclaiming his innocence in Kathy's death, it ALWAYS makes you wonder.

Wow! Thanks for all the info, guys.

Is Kevin Hughes on Amazon?

Can't believe the thread has gotten this long without someone ragging on Tim McClure. That should have been the first response to the original question.

I really wanted to so bad, but then again when it comes to Tim McClure and this board -->

I thought that was really interesting too. The update on Amazon basically makes it sound like Robert Bonderson was totally guilty. I guess I hadn't heard that before. As far as I'm concerned, this one is solved as I don't think there is much doubt about his guilt now.

"I'm not guilty at all, but I'm going to go ahead and kill myself anyway." Uhh... ok.
