Default What are the grisliest UM segments?

I'm thinking of Gus Hoffman, the Gainesville murders, Cindy James, Beverly McGowan -- segments in which we learn of the torture and murder of victims. More prominent in the early years.

Any others I'm forgetting?

All murders are horrible but you have to have extra layers of evil to torture your victim for an extended period of time before finally killing them.

Lisa Marie Kimmell, Gus Hoffman and Ashley Freeman/Lauria Bible all were tied up and tortured for multiple days. Nothing was quick. Their pain and terror went on and on before eventually being killed. Imagine being a loved one of these victims and trying desperately to keep that image out of your head.

A major case that was technically quicker but still incredibly grisly; Joann, Michelle and Kristi Rogers. All three sexually assaulted (I'm assuming the others were forced to watch in horror) before being weighted down with a cinder block and thrown in the bay still alive. There are no words to accurately describe this kind of evil.

No doubt.

Do we have an idea what the biker gang did to Hoffman in that garage?

According to the woman who met with Rose Hoffman, Gus was taken to Michael Stevenson's house, and the motorcycle gang members tied him up, tortured, sodomized and kicked him over the course of multiple days (how many days exactly, we don't know) until he was dead and then they dismembered him.

It turns out, the woman who spoke with Rose was married to one of the killers.

The Boston Rapist segment was a tough one to watch.

I'll say Chain Weiss as well. His murder was particularly grisly

What about the one where they showed the actual autopsy photo? The case of the old man (think it was Jasper Watkins -- Harpers Ferry Remains -- who was killed and stuffed in the trunk?

Also, if we believe what some people with not-so-great reputations, then I would also add Jeremy Bright and Amy Billig.

The first two that came to mind were Gus Hoffman and the ATV Murders.

Agree with dynoguy on the Oba Chandler murders. I've always wondered just how much each of the girls were forced to see before being tied to a cinder block and dumped into the water.
