Las Cruces bowling alley massacre on AMW tonight! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I just want to inform you that the case of the Las Cruces bowling alley massacre will be featured on America's Most Wanted tonight (March 20). The show starts at 9:00 pm (EST) on Fox.

Of course, the show has featured the case before. But since the 20th anniversary of the horrible crime was last month, it seems appropriate that the case is getting national attention again.

Here are a couple of links containing articles on AMW's plan to re-air the case.

I am so glad AMW continues to air this case. What a senseless and heartbreaking crime. I really hope last night's segment generates some new leads.

I too hope there will be new leads, because the degenerates who committed the act should not be allowed to get away with it. But I wouldn't be surprised if the documentary Nightmare in Las Cruces eventually helped generate new leads. Maybe the documentary could help jog someone's memory. It's possible that someone watching the documentary actually has important information on the case and doesn't know it yet. Perhaps they had once come across something that seemed too minor to have any real significance to the case. One never knows.

I watched the segment on Saturday. It was good to see an inteview with the film's producer, Charlie Minn. The segment acknowledged that the suriviving victims were initially opposed to the idea of a documentary, because they thought Charlie Minn was trying to exploit the case. But they reconsidered when they realized he was actually trying to help get it solved.

I caught it on AMW last night. Honestly, I was shocked to see it profiled because the only previous profile I had seen was during an episode of UM. So many years have passed and the victims, living and deceased, have yet to receive justice. I agree with Charlie Minn regarding the tragedy being unforgettable and I definitely want to see his film.
