There are practically countless true crime cases have been used as inspiration for storylines in many different police/investigative procedural shows and movies. It makes me think of another proposition. What pop culture investigators from any film or TV series would you want to see investigate certain UM cases if they were used in their respective fictional multi-verses? Feel free to get creative with the list and use cases that are either solved or unresolved.
-Jack Reacher would be the go-to-guy for any case involving Army personnel. Chad Langford and Paul Whipkey would make for the most interesting stories. -There's nobody better than Dr. Temperance Brennan to investigate the remains of John and Jane Does. The most interesting cases would be Gabby's Bones, Little Miss Panasoffkee and the Jane Doe head in the woods. -NCIS lead by Agent Gibbs would be all over the case in the suspicious death of Capt. Jeffrey Digman. -The Behavioral Analysis Unit from Criminal Minds is who I'd like to see investigating the cases of Priests Reynaldo Rivera and John Kerrigan, as well as the Ohio Prostitute serial killer and I-70 killer. -The Special Victims Unit from Law & Order would be honored to have a field day with the infamous Nelson Decloud. |

I am taking Matlock every time here. Andy Griffith Matlock of course. In every episode he always defended an accused murderer who claims they didn't do it. Not only did he prove they never did it, he always caught the true killer during a cross examination in court. He never lost!

FBI (Dick Wolf) or Criminal Minds for Elaine Parent. Criminal Minds is more twisted than FBI. Or how about Dexter going up against Elaine Parent? Gotta root for Dexter. Actually, i'd want Dexter to handle a few of UM's most notorious.

It'd be fun to see Mulder and Scully investigating some of the weirder cases.

How about "Bull"? I'd love to see Dr. Jason Bull and TAC help protect the wrongfully accused. |
