I really think 48 Hours is the gold standard in the crime shows. My two complaints are too many repeats that contain little new info and they tend to focus on more well-off people. Dateline does a wider variety of stories. I just did not like Anne Bender. She had no redeeming qualities. She and her husband's house did not seem like paradise at all to me. I really do not think they had anything to do with the locals except as worker or bodyguards. Depression is an awful illness that I have suffered from for years. I don't however think I can cure it on my own. In the end I thought it really was most likely an accident. Just wonder what others think?

Thanks Photo fox for putting this in a thread, will comment later.

Cute show.

I am from Iowa, had not heard of this case. Sad. Sometimes two hours is too long for what was a pretty straight forward case. Feel very sorry for the neighbor. They were only married for seven months, that blows me away.

Steph J and Judy , it was about money. He was greedy. He did seem as if he did not care if his daughter was collateral damage.

Agree with both of you. At first was not sure how to take the wife, but that scenario would be hard to fathom. Glad she got to thank the guy who ratted out the plan. This"lowlife" who actually valued peoples' lives, over the respected banker. He got off easy. The girlfriend and banker should also thank him as this would be an easy plan to solve. They would have done a lot longer in prison.

Wow,just wow! I did not hear that one. I was upset because she called Kanye and Kim's baby ugly and thought that was bad. No, I'm not a Kimye fan. Just some things are off limits. I think some of the out pouring of grief was because it was on the heals of the truly genuine Robin Williams death. Rivers was on every D-list reality show she could book for her and her daughter --, Celebrity Wife Swap, The Apprentice etc. She was not A-list at all. Just bitter that she skewered Elisabeth Taylor for years and people seemed more broken up about her(Joan) death.

I was not sad about Joan River's death. I always thought she was mean spirited. Don Rickles was the true insult comedian and you always knew he made fun of himself the most.

Could not finish it. This was really extreme. Madison only focused on sex,she was not concerned about any other aspect of her child's life. "Daddy" needs to take this child and run.

I thought there was a lot of evidence against him. He did it. He researched ways and then ended up killing her with his gun. Did I mention he was also stupid.

Where is everybody? Hellooo! You are all over at the Kenda thread. This will take some investigating. Friendperidot, I see what you mean. Why for any reason would you show the victim if she was identifying the murderer? First thing that came to me was they were trying to scare her. Does not make sense. There is no Snapped thread so thought I would post here. Is anyone familiar with the Kristen Lobada case in Nevada? It is IMO another case of convicting the wrong person and I came here to bitch. It just bothers me when a young person or any person is sent to jail with very little evidence. The prosecutors always say hey they were judged guilty by 12 people. I hate that.

I know "what a surprise." This good, religious man actually killed his wife. He was so smarmy in his interview. How could anyone who devoted their life to Christ do such a thing?? He planned it out for quite some time. At the end, he just could not understand what kind of mind could think the murder was a Valentine's Day present for his cold girlfriend was worse than the murder itself.

Agree 100%, I guess I'm mostly done with the season. I can't stand smug, pug-nosed Derrick at all. He treated Donny terribly and was not even truthful in the DR's. I know this show is about lying and deception. In season 14 when Dan used the bible to persuade Frank, it was just too much for me. And not because I am that religious. It was because Dan was.

I think this clip says more about Guilliana than Arianna.

I just do not want Derrick to win. He is such a backstabber. He insisted on all those unanimous votes and was crappy to people who were being voted out. Starting with Brit. He wasn't as vile as some but he was far from nice and he lied to the fans all the time. I just cannot stand him. I also hope they shun him after his big lie. He preyed on Victoria. He is very controlling. He has won very few comps. I just don.t like the guy.

Deadly Women is a show I still watch but I am conflicted about it. It is sooo melodramatic and sometimes downright scary. When I see a case after I've seen it on DW I can hardly recognize it. It really shows how OTT it can be. Wicked Attraction also has that same intensity but I can't watch it. When murderers and criminals are shown in an interview talking rationally it humanizes them. They become less of a monster. So sometimes I think maybe a show that focuses on the true evil acts are the more accurate.

Does anyone think there will be some angry people when Derrick is revealed as a cop? He did say to Frankie when his big news came out about Ari that they were all being truthful about their lives. Just curious.

Edie that was the 1st City Confidential I had ever seen. Loved that show and Paul Winfield, miss him and the show. I liked the last Heartbreaker's too. Nice to see Kevin Sorbo.

How many Heartbreaker episodes has there been? Next week is the season finale.

Fliptopbox, I have seen the Lobster boy story many times and this is the first I have heard about him murdering the boy friend. Usually they talk about the video found of him wrestling with his family-- he was a bully and a TV station got the sound to it and changed the story. Grady became sympathetic. He was handicapped but also very strong. Sad. The Benders were really scary and were never caught. They vanished. Never had to pay for their crimes. So far I am liking Evil Kin. Walnut Queen,(Did you like the countdown to Kenda?) i too will be watching Heartbreakers. What can I say, I like Lifetime.

Evil Kin, did anyone see the story of the Bender Family? Very chilling.

Just too hard to watch... They are all crazy. How stressful for the children.

Some people have mentioned The Giver. I like all of the series and the book was so original when it came out. One thing is I really like Jeff Bridges. I just think he has integrity and is a decent guy. My hopes are high.

Thanks for the suggestion Roamyn. I do believe she did it. In the Lifetime movie she was naked when she killed her father. That explained her being able to clean up fast. For a time there was a show on the History Channel where detectives solved very old cases. Maybe not solved but gave their opinions on how the crime was done. I only saw two cases. Lizzy Borden's was one.

Oh! good suggestions for movies to watch. Tall Hot Blonde is one I would recommend. Directed by Cortney Cox and starred Garret Dillihunt,"Burt" From Raising Hope, it was a true story and probably one of the 1st catfish stories out there. The mom was using the daughter's pictures and luring men, just for the heck of it. One guy ends up dead and Garret's character killed him over a woman he had never met. The father and daughter moved away,they were so disturbed by what the mother had done.
