Segments of UM where no picture of victim - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

crystaldawn · 11-08-2003, 09:51 PM

I was watching one of my UM tapes the other day and it was the story were the handicapped lady was killed by the Sheriff of the town who lived in the apartment by hers and it occurred to me that they never showed a picture of the actual victim. They said she had just moved into town a few months earlier and maybe thats why they didn't have a picture. It made me wonder, does anyone else remember any other stories where they didn't show an actual picture of the victim?

I too thought this was strange. Plus no family members were interviewed...other than Anna's neighbor. Hers to me really stands out since there were no pictures. This one and the seggie involving the two boys who died in the fire in an old shed. The other boy's picture wasn't featured nor was his name brought up. Thought that one was odd too

Freddie Douberly and Mary Lou Holmes.

most cases where the victims were minors.

Maybe they couldn't get the families permission to show the pictures.

Well in the case of anna anton didn't UM portray her in an unfavorable way - On one hand she was this religious prude and one the other the bar dwelling tramp?

In the UM segment on T.K. Hardy they didnt show a picture of him. They interviewed Lee Eptling but he was the only one that knew Hardy that was interviewed in the segment. No family members again there.

I caught that; they had no problem showing John Mooney. Has he ever been caught?

Yes he was caught several years ago and UM did an update on it. I believe he was working as an Accountant and was married with a small child. He's still in prison but I think he may be up for parole soon..if he gets it.

He was captured in 1989.

I gotta disagree. Most of the cases involving murdered and/or missing children feature several photos of them. The sexual abuse ones, of course, do not.

Did they show any photos of Harold & Thelma Swain?
They only showed a drawing of the guy who fell from the airplane.
Did they show Kurt mcFall? (Talk about an unfortunate name, considering his death)

Yes. I recall that a photo of them was shown early in the segment.

Yes, a photo of Kurt McFall was shown. And yes, it was extremely unfortunate that someone with "Fall" in his name would fall to his death.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I couldn't let this go. . .

John Mooney has to be one of the dumbest criminals ever. After he was arrested, they said, "Do you know why you're here, John?" To which he said, "I guess it's about the shooting of T.K. Hardy." Then the cop said, "Well, that info isn't public yet." DOH!

I guess I shouldn't expect much from a guy who calls his business "Somebody's Pizza".

OK, you may return to your originally scheduled thread!
