Minivanessa February 4, 2019 Share February 4, 2019 TV serendipity this morning. I had the TV on The Justice Network channel. The show was at a point where a body had been recovered and the narrator said, "The body was confirmed to be that of Mr. X by dental records." And then, bang, it went straight to commercial, and the next words in a chipper voice were "Need to go to the dentist but don't have dental insurance?" or words to that effect. Definitely almost the first word was "dentist" or "dental." I noticed it because I'd stepped into the next room for a minute and was just listening, vs. watching. So I didn't see the dissolve to commercial, just heard them say ID'd by dental records almost immediately followed by a different voice chirping about dental stuff. That was a jolt until I figured out it had cut to a commercial, lol. 2 10 Link to comment

She told her story on I Survived... calmly. Not sure why she was more emotional this time. Maybe it's because Urdiales recently committed suicide. That might have allowed her to release some emotions she was holding back. Maybe it's just relief. 4 Link to comment
geekgirl921 February 5, 2019 Share February 5, 2019 Did anyone watch Deadly Secrets this weekend? The boyfriend faked an email from the woman's son in law that made it seem that he was after her money (the son in law). It bugged me because I think the daughter and son in law could have taken it to a computer expert and they could have pretty easily figured it out that it was actually sent from the mother's IP address where the boyfriend was living with her! 6 Link to comment

auntjess February 11, 2019 Share February 11, 2019 I was watching American Nightmare, or American something, and it was a murder of grandmother named Shirley, and she had 12 children, and one of her sons had found her in her house, and his 8-year-old son was with him. This was years later, and son was grown, and damn, he was mainly turned the other way, but I swear he had a teardrop tattoo. And no, it wasn't for grandma. 4 Link to comment
friendperidot February 11, 2019 Share February 11, 2019 I looked through "P" shows, I looked through the genre shows, can't find a specific place, so I'm going to put it here. I know there was a thread on TWOP for all the Police Women of ____ shows, I used to watch it years ago on OWN, then OWN was moved up to a higher tier on Directv and I refused to pay for the higher tier, but now I have Philo streaming and I watch this show again occasionally, it's all reruns, I guess they only made one season of each of the areas. One thing I've noticed this time, is they find the same officers in each city/county, sassy young blonde, sassy young African American, older/jaded detective. But some of them have stuck in my mind over the years. It's interesting to watch the Phoenix ones where they were filmed during Sheriff Joe's years and how thoughts have changed or not changed during those years. Not trying to make it a political statement, I got more convoluted trying not to make it a political statement. I think Cincinnati was my favorite of all the cities. I'm watching Memphis tonight and I swear they just had 2 scenes with the same police car racing around the same corner, stock footage. I hope all of the women are safe whether or not they are still working their beats. 2 Link to comment

LuvMyShows February 13, 2019 Share February 13, 2019 Just discovered a new-to-me show on Oxygen, called In Ice Cold Blood, hosted by Ice-T. Season 2 starts Feb. 25th, but the Season 1 episodes are available for replay. In the first episode I watched (season 1, episode 1), one of the talking heads was Matt Murphy, the Senior Deputy District Attorney of Orange County, who seems to be on every true crime show. That's OK, Matt is welcome to do a (hands-on) investigation of me any time he wants!! Or am I the only one crushing on the DA? 6 Link to comment

SunnyBeBe February 15, 2019 Share February 15, 2019 (edited) Anyone ever catch True Conviction on ID? I like it. The host is a former prosecutor. She's smart and personable. I think she does a good job. This morning it featured a guy who killed his own mother and also for some unknown reason, a dearly loved grandmother and daughter, who were just babysitting two grandchildren in their home. (He was from Wisconsin. Mother/daughter murder in FL within days of his mother's murder.) Totally random murders. Guy pulls into the drive of an out of way house, opens fire, goes into the house, shoots them more, kills them and then stabs them multiple times in the neck! Thank goodness he didn't harm the children. Not sure he knew they were present. Anyway.....so a horrible thing. Glad he was finally caught. I still don't understand what drew this man to this community and to their secluded house. Seemingly no rhyme or reason to it. He didn't know them or have any connection to them at all.

IMO that's not a "nitpick," it's an important and informed critique of cheap-*ss lazy programming. Thanks for sharing it. I really hate that nonsense, and appreciate it when it's pointed out. Years ago Cold Case Files did an episode about the conviction of Timothy Masters for the murder of Peggy Hettrick in Ft. Collins, Colorado. When Masters was later exonerated and released after serving ten years, the producers withdrew the episode from further viewing which is good, but apparently it's still available on DVD, which IMO is wrong. (Of course they can't recall DVDs but they could fix it before putting any more on the market.) I have to say the Timothy Masters case lessened my enthusiasm for true crime/forensic shows, and I'm more skeptical about the forensics they report. I also wonder how many tainted Oklahoma forensic evidence cases were reported on some of these series before the scandal broke, and how many corrections/withdrawals were ever done. That said, now and then I queue up old Forensic Files episodes on Netflix at bedtime, with the TV sleep timer on and the volume low, because I like falling asleep to Peter Thomas's voice. But I often wonder if there were any exonerations or reversed convictions in the cases reported on that series. 1 8 Link to comment

Oh my! This is worth a forum of it's own because I feel the same way, not only about the forensics, but people who were jailed and later found innocent because law enforcement felt they didn't respond properly when told someone had died. Examples I remember off the top of my head from watching true crime: Nancy Grace who was foaming at the mouth, ready to send Runaway Bride Jennifer Wilbanks fiancé to the gas chamber. The Angie Samota case. For years law enforcement and that friend were positive Russell Buchanan had murdered her. Thankfully for him, his parents stepped in and hired an attorney or else he would still be in jail today and the case closed. Names forgotten but back during Court TV days, a woman was found drowned next to her houseboat. The husband hadn't reported her missing and when questioned he told police his wife was an alcoholic who disappeared at times so he wasn't worry. Law enforcement was skeptical and her family/friends insisted the woman didn't drink. It wasn't until an autopsy revealed a sky high blood alcohol count, injuries consistent with a fall, discovery of a secret apartment with a stash of booze, that friends admitted the husband was telling the truth and woman did indeed have a serious drinking problem. The poor widow on some ID show who, when informed her missing husband (? I'm fuzzy on this) was found dead, kept acting nonchalant while the husband's relatives fell apart. Police immediately thought she was involved because she wasn't acting the way they felt she should have. When the real murderer was found, and the widow was innocent, she explained on the show she can gone into shock and felt if she just kept acting normal, what the police said wasn't true. So, yes I still watch true crime, these situations remind me what law enforcement feels in their gut can be 100% wrong. 9 Link to comment
