This make perfect sense to me, and I don't find it at all necessary to reproduce an era just for the sake of a visual to break up the "talking heads." I've actually noticed that lots of subpar crime shows are "bothered" to deal with that stuff (usually half-assedly at that--I can totally tell a " '90s does '70s" outfit as opposed to a '70s real deal!) seemingly to disguise the fact that the show is garbage with almost nothing remotely educational or even informative about the investigation process. I appreciate this show's matter-of-fact style and its assumption that we're more interested in the crime investigation's details than whether that lady's handbag was manufactured in 2012. Now, if Faux Kenda pulls out a cell phone in a 1977 case, I might point and laugh (and you know what? I actually think someone may have had an anachronistic iPhone in a reenactment scene!). I also appreciate that the reenactments aren't over the top or attempting to be titillating/scandalous like all those many much crappier shows out there.

It happened in the 1970's and according to Joe's profile, he was working at the Colorado Springs, CO Police Department during the time this happened. It was unusual too, since the killer went on a spree and killed 2 other people unrelated to each other. Here's a link about the killer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Glenn I should would like to see it, if there is one. (Oh, did you know that Kelsey Grammar's father was also murdered?)

Nate15415 April 11, 2018 Share April 11, 2018 In the show, Kenda said Jimmy was thrown out of the window. So, the police must have a reason to believe that. It'd be pretty believable if Jimmy committed suicide, as well. I found some quotes from Kenda on this case. Paraphrasing, he said after the New York police told him that Jimmy had been murdered, they asked him what they wanted them to do with the case, and Kenda stated, put it in the 'had it coming' file, and Jimmy's murder was never investigated. Even criminals won't give anyone a pass for murdering kids. I truly believe one of Jimmy's peers, found out, and murdered Jimmy for what he did. I even believe there's small chance a professional was hired to make sure Jimmy didn't walk free for what he did. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31144-homicide-hunter-lt-joe-kenda-general-discussion/page/6/#findComment-4225579

A nice article about him: https://www.mensjournal.com/health-fitness/homicide-hunter-joe-kenda-interview-murder-death-killer-investigation-discovery/ Source: men's journal This bit is so true. Quote “There’s Nothing More Dangerous on This Planet Than a Human Being” A lot of things happened on the job. Some were hysterically funny. Some were horribly sad. Some were absolutely horrific. You see it all. Animals kill for a need. They kill to survive. Humans kill for pleasure. They’re capable of anything, so don’t ever believe somebody won’t do something, because they will, and then they’ll plan to do it again because they liked it. So every morning I’d have a meeting with my detectives, to give them their marching orders, and as they were leaving, I’d say, “Remember boys and girls, the humans are out.
