Mondrianyone January 28, 2019 Share January 28, 2019 If the DNA testing is expected to be done in a few months (and what's the delay, I wonder?), per the printed info given at the end of the second episode, why not wait till it's been done and then air all this? So that it comes with a resolution? I felt after watching that there's two hours of my life I'll never get back. Probably not the best choice of words given all the years that Kevin Cooper won't get back, but still . . . Wasn't there any other case that could've filled this gap until the full story could finally be told? 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104838-season-32-201819-episode-discussion/page/2/#findComment-5016543

Annber03 February 17, 2019 Share February 17, 2019 I remember that incident, because I was going to watch some kind of TV special on CNN that night (I think it was one of their documentary things or something), only to turn on the channel and have the breaking news about the standoff. I remember the standoff taking quite a number of hours-I can imagine it felt like an eternity for the poor people involved in it. I missed the "48 Hours" episode about it last night, though. Will have to keep an eye out to see if it repeats at some point. 4 minutes ago, Morrigan2575 said: I don't remember this incident which is a rather sad admission (stuff is just way to common) Too true :/. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104838-season-32-201819-episode-discussion/page/2/#findComment-5061724

It did portray the police as somewhat inept, but I think it iluminated how fluid these situations need to be. There has been criticism of police not going in and taking a shooter down fast enough, and so new training was developed that has police busting in and taking the shooter down as quickly as possible to spare the most lives. However, this was not that situation, and the police were right to listen when the hostages said to negotiate. I'm sure it's difficult for them too. I'm glad the one, um, louder lady admitted that while she wanted the lady helping the guy neogtiate to just grab the gun, she herself would probably not be able to. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104838-season-32-201819-episode-discussion/page/2/#findComment-5063404

Understandably, the family has been completely devastated and had almost no cooperation from the LAPD as to what really happened and how she was killed.

12catcrazy February 24, 2019 Share February 24, 2019 (edited) Wow. If there is a person who should have gotten the death penalty its this guy Marsh. And his father still defends him.... If my memory is correct, most of the laws trying teenagers as adults were passed in the 80s due to a number of terrible crimes committed by teens who then got off with a slap to the wrist and their records sealed when they turned 21. I am mostly a liberal-minded person but a case like this makes my inner conservative come to the forfront and mutter about "bleeding hearts". And if this monster gets out, you know damn well he will kill again, but this time be smart enough not to blab to a friend. If he hadnt done that, he would have never been caught. The cops get their tunnel vision and thats where they look. Oh, it couldnt be a stranger cutting a screen to get in; it MUST be a family member with a key who only cut the screen to make it look like a stranger did it! I'll tell ya, if Marsh gets out, if I was the friend who ratted him out, I'd be looking over my shoulder all the time. And how the hell do those lawyers sleep at night? Do they REALLY think this was a good kid at heart who really didnt understand what he was doing? That his anger at Mommy drove him to kill animals and people who never did a damn thing to him???

Cuz law enforcement should always be apprised of his whereabouts. Can't believe that therapist was so fooled by Daniel's "turnaround."

ChristmasJones February 25, 2019 Share February 25, 2019 (edited) I am opposed to life sentences for juvenile offenders... but for serious crimes, I am in favor of very long sentences (such as 25 years minimum) and after that, appearances before the parole board to determine if they are eligible to be released The interview with Daniel Marsh is one of the most unnerving I have ever seen. The negative energy radiating from that guy was on a whole other level. Truly, truly disturbing. I may need to set up a google alert on his name because I need to know where this guy ends up, and if he commits any crimes in the future. Thank you 48 Hours for putting this guy on so that all of America can see who he really is. That is truly a gift. I can't imagine anyone would want him in their neighborhood after seeing just those few short clips of his police interview. This episode needs to be re-aired every year or so to ensure that as many people as possible learn who this guy is. I also think we should enact a law that anyone who is convicted of a serious crime, regardless of age, should not be allowed to ever legally change their name. That is my fear with this guy. I can see him doing something like that. I know that many criminals use fake names and steal identities, etc, but at the bare minimum they should not be allowed to do a legal name change. The sad fact is that he is only going to become more sophisticated in his abilities to adopt a false persona, and do things to evade detection if/when he does commit a crime. He was quite young when he thought to put tape on his shoes, wear gloves and mask, put those items in the bodies, etc. He will only become more dangerous with each passing year.

Right? That bugged me so much. She's a grieving woman who's lost her daughter and granddaughter, for god's sakes. She just wants answers. If that makes her "crazy", then I guess every family member who pursues a loved one's death like this is crazy, then. Yeah, His attitude about the whole case was appalling. As was his inability to remember certain things about it. I mean, this isn't exactly a typical case-I can't imagine it's often you find a woman and her baby dead near a railroad track. I would think any detectives investigating such a scene would have a little sharper memory regarding it as a result. (And the fact that the original investigators got the wrong train in question. These guys are supposed to be professionals, how the hell do they bungle something that badly.) As for Aaron, at the very least, he's a flat out asshole, but yeeeeeah, I have absolutely zero problem believing he's guilty. Innocent people do NOT taunt the family by leaving disturbing items at the memorial site. That video. That's beyond cold. And then his suggestion with the fetus for the funeral. WTF? My mom also pointed out how odd it was that his reaction to his wife being afraid to go into their house was, "Okay, I'll go take a shower and then we'll go somewhere." Really? You're just going to leave your clearly frightened wife out there with her baby while you go take a shower? You're not going to either offer to check the house to make sure all's okay, or offer to take them somewhere right then and there, or something of that sort instead? Okay, then. It also really rubbed me the wrong way when he immediately tried to blame her supposed paranoia on postpartum psychosis. It'd be one thing, even, if he'd said, "I know my wife has been getting treatment for this", or "Her doctor had mentioned she'd been struggling with that". At least there he'd have a professional's opinion to back up that theory. But he didn't. He just threw it out there as his own random theory, as though he were a doctor and could automatically assume that must be the issue here. It reminded me of the guys who always brush off a woman's bad mood as "LOL, she must be on her period again". Yeah. I hope this new band of investigators can get all the evidence needed to nail this creep once and for all. And I hope the mom can finally get the answers she needs, and the peace she deserves.

12catcrazy March 4, 2019 Share March 4, 2019 I can't add much to this discussion rather than going back to my old theory of Occam's Razor. That cop they interviewed from the original investigation had to be one of the laziest, most incompetent, lack of give a shit cops that I've ever seen on one of these true crime shows. How in the hell this guy kept his job is beyond me. So you just take the husband's word that his pregnant wife is suicidal without checking it out with a doctor or anybody else who knew her? My take on this is that the husband was probably angry that she was preggers again so soon after having the other child and that he didn't want any more responsibility. She may have been looking to leave because he had been acting like an asshole and she had it. She was apparently a stay at home wife and he probably would have had to cough up child support and some kind of alimony if she divorced him. He killed her either at the house or pushed her into the train and now he is free and clear. No wife, no kids. And yet again, it seems like he has a family that will stick by him no matter what.

They basically knew he was the murderer so save the taxpayers the cost of a trial and feeding him - let the creep go splat. I was also not sold on the brainwashing aspect - Karrie was able to pick one parent to live and the other to die. I didn't hear anything bad about Michelle, other than that issue with the car backing up and that she was getting money from Lloyd and he was crying poverty. That's so petty. I think that the sentence for Karrie was too lenient - she got off too easy IMO. I also find it hard to believe that the younger sister was oblivious to everything that happened in the house that night and didn't realize that the dad was in the car on the trip back to Rochester. Makes me go hmmm. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104838-season-32-201819-episode-discussion/page/2/#findComment-5152292

No kidding; call that mofo's bluff. Although I doubt that someone that narcissistic ever had any actual intention of killing himself. I wish the show had done a better job at explaining what parental alienation is. Having worked in family law for many years I've seen a few cases of parental alienation (not to anywhere near the extent demonstrated here) and it's so much more than just one parent speaking "badly" about the other. It's an intense form of abuse/manipulation in which one parent isolates the child (or children) from the other parent, making the child dependent on the abusive parent (because that parent is now all they have, the other one having become persona non grata) and so enmeshed with the abuser's point of view that keeping the abusive parent happy becomes the most important thing to them. That doesn't excuse what Karrie did. She absolutely should be punished for her role in her mother's murder, but I think her grandmother is right that there's still a chance for her once she has some intensive therapy and now that she's out of her father's clutches. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104838-season-32-201819-episode-discussion/page/2/#findComment-5152467
walnutqueen March 24, 2019 Share March 24, 2019 I've seen this crime before, on some other crime show. They call it "parental alienation"; I call it "grooming". Much like a pedophile, the parent uses similar tactics to bond with the child. Somehow, "Daddy's girls" seem to be most susceptible to these machinations. And somehow, these "Daddy's girls" turn out to be quite nasty in their own right. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104838-season-32-201819-episode-discussion/page/2/#findComment-5152483

Makes me go hmmm. Yeah, that was a tough one for me to swallow as well. So the younger daughter wakes up because her mom is upstairs screaming. Kerrie tells her "hey, let's go hang out in my car with the tailgate open". Then there's a thunk as the father climbs in to the back, they close the tailgate, and they're off. If my parent was screaming in my house, I'd want to know what was going on; I wouldn't just accept it and go for a 100 mile ride with my sister on an unplanned vay-cay. I can buy that the father hid in the trunk, but no way the younger daughter wouldn't have wanted an explanation as to what was going on and why her dad was there. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104838-season-32-201819-episode-discussion/page/2/#findComment-5162921
OpalNightstream April 22, 2019 Share April 22, 2019 I know it’s a repeat, but shows like this really love to drop celebrity names to add cache whenever possible like in the “apartment 4c” episode. Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury. We get it, wealthy people live there, geez!

Coffeewinewater April 24, 2019 Share April 24, 2019 The father made me so sad. All murders are senseless but wth? They get mad at him after partying all night with him. Why bring him along? If the coke and cigarettes were the issue it seemed stupid to bring an extra guy up to the apartment. There would have been 3 women 3 men with out the victim. I dont know if I believe the story. The adoption was odd. Even if they were lovers but wanted to hide it, if one or both men weren't out. Why adopt ?

Why adopt ? Because if you adopt, you’re family...with rights of inheritance, rights to participate in or even make healthcare decisions, etc. In the present political climate, you can’t be sure those rights will be there for your same-sex partner or even your same-sex spouse tomorrow or next month. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104838-season-32-201819-episode-discussion/page/2/#findComment-5244215

And the text message asking her if he could mutilate her body after she died? What in the holy fuck?

TVbitch April 28, 2019 Share April 28, 2019 Well, I'm glad he wouldn't shut up as that helped put him in jail. Please tell me he is not getting out in five years cuz he is clearly a sociopath who will harm more people. All the friends knew that guy was not good for her and that she was becoming more and more depressed by hanging out with him. It's a shame none of them felt they could (or should) tell their own parent or a teacher about such concerns. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104838-season-32-201819-episode-discussion/page/2/#findComment-5244840
Fable May 6, 2019 Share May 6, 2019 In The Case Against Enrico Forti, I'm inclined not to believe him. Granted, he seemed sincere, but some people are better are at fooling people than others but it seems almost obvious that he was trying to swindle Tony Pike...I mean 1.6 million for a luxury resort/hotel seems like a pittance when one can imagine that place was making money hand over fist. There are people in affluent areas that are selling homes for far more than that. However, my biggest problem is the fact that he lied about picking up Dale from the airport. It's one thing to lie to your wife (which really made no sense either way) but lying to the police is just opening a can of worms. Either clam up and get a lawyer or tell the truth, The last red flag was his phone pinging in a different direction than he said he was going, although I am not sure how much credibility cell phone data was given in 1997. 2 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104838-season-32-201819-episode-discussion/page/2/#findComment-5266631
Toothbrush May 16, 2019 Share May 16, 2019 I was on the fence about Enrico Forti until I saw the sketch of the person in the car at The Rusty Pelican based on the description he gave police; it looked just like him! Not to say that he did or didn't get a fair trial, but I think he is guilty. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104838-season-32-201819-episode-discussion/page/2/#findComment-5299059
