Adam and Elena Emery - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

canadianmysterygrl · 11-20-2003, 01:13 AM

I would love to know more about this case. It is about the young couple in RI who were involved in a road rage incident that ended in the husband, Adam Emery, I think, stabbing the young man in the other car to death but Adam got off in court.

I just saw it for the first time now and missed alot due to hubby chatting.

After the trial where Adam got off, it semed that the couple killed themselves but only Elena's skull has been found leading people to think of foul play perhaps.

Does anyone think Adam murdered Elena?

If it was a suicide pact, did he back out and let her jump alone?

I would like to hear from anyone who knows more about this case.
Thanks

AMENDED TO CORRECT NAMES.

The case was recently on UM but the husband who did the stabbing did not get off. My undertstanding was that he was convicted and this devastated the couple.
A news video tape showed the couple talking and a hearing impaired woman was asked to read the lips of the couple on the tape.
They were talking about going through with their plans. Their car was later found on the bridge and for a long time no one knew the truth.
The skull eventually was found of the wife but no evidence of suicide of the husband. He probably also committed suicide. I don't think he would have killed his wife and left town. It was some kind of pact they did together.
Their crime was awful. They stabbed an innocent man to death whom they thought had nicked their car during a turn.

Saw that case too tonight. I didn't even know UM did a segment on it - I had first heard about it on Dateline.

I don't mean to gloat to the American UM viewers here but I've been just thrilled with UM this week. Yesterday they showed the I-70 killer segment (which I had never seen up until now - WOW was that second drawing creepy), and on Monday they showed the segment about the Henderson, NV bank robbers (most probably the very first time a sketch has given me trouble sleeping). I almost felt like cheering when the 'update' screen flashed for the latter case. I had no idea the robbers had been nabbed and jailed for five years now. Very reassuring. Anyone else remember that case? Two scenes of it made the intro (after the "SOLVED") later: the two police cars on the chase, and the robbers' car crashing through garbage cans.

Whoops, got off topic here... sorry!

Hi
Do you know if I am spelling the names right for Allan and Elaina?

Also do you know where I can find out any more about this case?

Personally I think they were both awful people but that Allan could well have either killed Elaina or at minimum led her to believe he was going to jump too and then let her jump first and he ran off to a new life.

What a disgusting couple they were and I hope they are both where they belong.

Yeah, we are stuck with UM 1 time a week on Sunday Mornings, I am spreading feedback everywhere on Lifetime wanting the show back more times a week. What channel does UM come on in Canada? I wish if Lifetime doesn't care about the show, they would let another network air it, after all, there is no excuse for all the crap Lifetime airs.

BTW: I have dug out about 15 tapes of Unsolved Mysteries and every night am watching at least one episode.

canadianmysterygrl · 11-20-2003, 02:58 PM

I love UM but I am so disappointed that they don't update when they are running old shows that are now solved. It makes it seem stupid and rather an insult to the original show which was so good about keeping viewers informed. How much would it cost to update in text on a screen even? Just don't act like the unibombr is still out and about...that's sad.

Brent88 · 11-20-2003, 03:22 PM

Wouldn't cost much... some of the 95-97 episodes that were solved as Robert Stack was about to die were updated simply by putting text on the screen with a green background. I don't see why they wouldn't do that with other seasons as well. But, if they aren't going to update the Unabomber or ERIC RUDOLPH case(two very high-profile cases) then they certainly won't update other cases...

It's on the channel Prime, which also shows old sitcoms like All in the Family, M*A*S*H, the Cosby Show and the Golden Girls. Right now they're just showing the Lifetime-produced episodes from 2001 and 2002 but I'm crossing my fingers that when they get done with those they'll go back to the early ones. Prime started showing UM earlier this year (around March or April) once a week on Saturdays, and then started showing them every weeknight at around July. A couple weeks ago they dropped the Friday night airing but UM four days a week is still A-OK with me!

Brent88 · 11-20-2003, 07:51 PM

I wish it still aired 4 nights a week here.

canadianmysterygrl · 11-20-2003, 09:00 PM

I wish they were making new ones UM. There is so much crime going on. So many crimes are profiled on the net and the internet could assist greatly in finding criminals too. I liked UM allot for many years but I never liked the alien or psychic based stories.
I wish they would revamp the show and get a new host. I loved Robert Stack and perhaps the best tribute they could pay to him would be to keep the show going. I think they need to stick to cutting edge type mysteries....not alien abductions....but I respect that other like those.

Who would you people pick as a new host?

Anyone know why they are NOT going to do this?
Please bear with me as I am new to this site.
I love it so far.

I really really want to find out more about Allan and Elaina Emery.

Brent88 · 11-20-2003, 09:18 PM

Well Lametime doesn't care since Robert Stack died. Maybe the Canadian network could make new episodes.

I am not sure though I would watch with a new host. Robert Stack added something to the show that made me love it. I don't watch other crime shows like AMW, so I don't think if a new host came along I could get into the show.

BTW: I should mention if new episodes are to made, LIFETIME has to request them(or whatever network airs it) Cosgrove-Meurer will produce the episodes, but Lifetime has to order the episodes.

canadianmysterygrl · 11-21-2003, 01:18 AM

I found Keely Shay Smith very boring and flat and a bad match with Mr. Stack. I loved him so.

I just hate when they run old shows that have been solved with no update at the end. Makes a farce of the show.

I didn't like Kelly Shaye Smith either. I think Stack should have done updates. She just seemed to take something out of the show, that is why I don't particularly like the episodes from 1996(when she was on)

canadianmysterygrl · 11-21-2003, 01:30 AM

I cannot figure out why they stopped doing the show anyway. They would need a host of Mr Stack's caliber to make it good.

How about Peter Falk? He's already got the trench coat and has a good voice.

crystaldawn · 11-21-2003, 08:36 AM

It is hard to find information about Adam and Elena Emery on the web. I did find a website with an article. They let you read the first few paragraphs of it and then you have to subscribe to read the rest. But the first weeks subscription is free, then you can cancel. Its at elibrary.com and then type in their names under search and that should bring you to it. Hope this helps!
