Doreen Marfeo case on "New England's Unsolved" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ATTN: New England residents, esp. those residing in an area where Boston's FOX affiliate WFXT 25 is available.

If you read this message in time, I'd like to let you know that the channel will be airing a segment about the 1990 disappearance of Doreen Marfeo (a Rhode Island woman), for it's 10 o'clock news tonight (November 8). The case is the subject for the channel's weekly "New England's Unsolved" segment (shown exclusively on WFXT channel 25's Saturday night news program).

Doreen Marfeo's disappearance was the subject for a segment that UM aired during the 1993-94 season. The police suspected her husband Stephen to have been involved, and I wouldn't be surprised if they still do even though he is now deceased (he killed himself in 1999).

I remember this case from UM... have it on tape.

I watched the segment last night. It made mention of the typed letters alleging that Doreen Marfeo was killed by Stephen. They interviewed Laura Dobson (Doreen's mother) and, I believe, at least one of the invesitgators who was also interviewed on UM (when the show ran a segment on the case ten years ago).

As expected, they mentioned that, in 1999, Stephen Marfeo shot and killed an ex-girlfriend, then traveled to Connecticut, where he killed hmself. They went on to say that he had left behind a note, in which he claimed that he lost his will to live when Doreen vanished. But in the note, he never made any indication as to what might have happened to Doreen.

Nevertheless, the cops investigating the case are convinced that Stephen was involved in Doreen's disappearance, and are obviously hopeful that the case will eventually be solved. Let's hope so, too.

Did anyone make a copy of this? I've always been intrigued by the story, and I'd love to see this segment.

one thing about the UM segment that always gets me is the fact the cop smirks when talking about Marfeo. Yes, I think stephen marfeo is responsible for his wife's disappearance. However, when the one cop says "it's not consistent" (he's talking about marfeo having a private investigatior follow his wife when she is alive but not re[porting her missing for several days until after she disappears), he smirks, making him unlikeable as well. I hate when they interview police officers on this show and the officer acts like he's the poop.
