I didn't catch it, so correct me if I did, but I was curious if the cops ever ran the 5 DNA profiles that they have now on the real perps through NCIC. Rapists typically don't just go on one spree and call it a day, so I'd assume that they'd keep on offending (and someone clearly did since similar crimes happened after the innocent guys were jailed).

I've read about cases where DNA might clear someone who was previously found guilty, and the prosecutors will simply amend their theory of the claim to suggest the person acted in concert with the unknown third party.

If you prey on desperate or emotionally unstable people with your scams, it's not shocking or surprising that it may end up blowing up badly in your face. It's a very dangerous thing to be doing. I would have liked to have seen more about Kay's past, since they kind of tease it may have been an issue here, but they never really delve into it. I'm about halfway through this episode, and I can't say I feel too sorry for Kay. I'd replace the word DESERVE with EXPECT. Kay's murder is not unexpected, and yeah, I do think if that's the way she chose to live her life, she also needed to expect the possibility that harm would come to her. It's not just the sex fetish stuff either. Kay was into that, she married four times, she liked to be the arm candy of very rich men, she liked hanging out in casinos (to find rich men), and she liked to have affairs with guys on the side while she was married. All of that, taken together, is risky behavior that Kay chose to engage in. Her lifestyle invited a certain amount of risk, and hey, if that made her happy, so be it. However, she also has to own that he appetite for risk means that certain people come into her sphere, and it doesn't at all surprise me that she could have pissed off someone who knew a hitman. Kay reminds me of Paige Bergdahl, the young mother who everyone thought was a soccer mom, but she was actually a high-priced escort. She was killed by one of her clients. She also played with fire, and it cost her. If people want the high rewards from those risks, I think they need to also accept that they are choosing to put themselves in harm's way to get those rewards. ETA: I've now watched the whole episode. I agree with the FBI profiler that a hitman could have done the crime, and a woman could have written the note. That one woman is also a possibility. However. I also wonder if the hitman could have made the note to make it seem as though a woman put it together.

I never said that the creepy men (and creepy women) who commit crimes aren't to blame, but I don't think all victims are created equal either. There's a difference in making a mistake (as all people are prone to do) and being unfortunate enough to end up paying for it with your life vs. a person who repeatedly engages in risky behavior. If you decide that you want to do something risky, and you continue to do it, then yes, I think you are owning some of the possibility that something bad might happen to you. I'm not even solely talking about bad in terms of crime, either. You know that circus accident that just happened in Florida? Same principle. No one died in the accident, but if they had, yes, I do think they would have owned some of the responsibility for their deaths. No one HAS to walk on a high wire. No one HAS to drive a race car. If a person wants to do that, fine, but let's not pretend that's a completely safe activity. There's a high rate of risk involved. If you are choosing to do that, there is a decent probability that you will become a victim of that risk. You are also choosing to take that risk. In terms of crime, "the whole if it weren't for very bad men" thing bugs me. The world would be a whole lot different if it weren't for a lot of things. There are very bad men that exist and there are very bad women that exist. You're absolutely right that they shouldn't be able to commit crimes, but this is not about what shouldn't happen. It's simply a matter of what is. There is crime in the world. There just is, and there always will be, and some situations invite more crime than others. All of that risky behavior that Kay was doing (plus it wasn't exactly clear if she was also involved in her husband's shady business dealings) is more likely to involve people that will commit crimes than say, selling Girl Scout cookies at a lemonade stand. Kay was a part of that world for a while, so yes, I think she assumed part of that risk because she continued to participate in it. Just like a person who goes to a party where people who use drugs will also be. If they are there, the drugs are more likely to be there. If a person chooses to take drugs at that party and overdoses, they bear some of that decision. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4154-all-episodes-talk-48-hours/page/11/#findComment-2981852

psychoticstate February 22, 2017 Share February 22, 2017 Can we please not bring politics or Trump bashing into these discussions? Please. I just watched the episode on the Kay Wernal murder and I'm with the majority of you. I wish this had been a 2 hour episode. I differ with some of you in that while the crime scene was remarkably clean in the sense the killer didn't appear to track blood, leave fingerprints, hair or fibers, I'm having a hard time with the hit man theory. Who would order a hit and why? The husband could benefit if there was a substantial amount of life insurance, which I don't recall being discussed. But most hit men would use a gun. It's quick, it's not as messy and it doesn't require any up close and personal. I would think if a hit man was in play that the person contracting the hit would request that she be killed in such a violent manner. Which of course suggests someone close to her who has a massive grudge. I also think if a hit man was involved it doesn't make sense that the person would be working in connection with someone else, possibly a woman, who would send a letter. I just don't buy that. I also think while it's unlikely, there is the possibility that a woman could have killed Kay. It sounds as though she was blitzed at the front door. A woman could have punched her in the face; a bloody nose and/or mouth can bleed quite a lot. If Kay then ran for the kitchen, turning her back on her assailant while attempting to get the phone, anyone - - man or woman - - could have come up behind her and cut her throat, especially if the attacker was as tall as or taller than Kay. Such an attack would also prevent the killer from getting much blood on them as the blood would have gone away from their direction. I don't think the husband was involved. He seemed genuine, he had an alibi and didn't seem to have a motive. If he was involved, why hire a group of private investigators to probe into it, especially when the local PD was strained? I also think killing Kay, and in the way she was killed, in order to get back at her husband is a stretch. He wasn't threatened, there was no note sent to him so I just don't see it. I think it's more likely that a woman did it or had it done. It's very personal, it's very brutal. It's very much like Nicole Brown Simpson's murder, which was a rage killing. I think it's possible that the investigation may have skirted this person and out of fear, she wrote the red herring letter in order to cast suspicion on a non-existent affair. The bloody towel upstairs stumps me. The only thing I can speculate is that the killer went upstairs to retrieve something, either as a trophy or something that had sentimental value to her/him. The killer probably pulled off the latex gloves in the hallway and stuffed them into a pocket since none were found. Blood may have gotten on her/his hands and the towel was used to wipe them. Either the killer set the towel down and forgot or just didn't care about it. I would love to see this case solved. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4154-all-episodes-talk-48-hours/page/11/#findComment-3013818

Calamity Jane March 11, 2017 Share March 11, 2017 The laws on stalking are hopelessly archaic. Just the fact that the first thing police recommend is a TRO, even when violence has been threatened or committed, shows an astounding lack of understanding of the dynamic involved in stalking. In the case of a violent stalker, a TRO usually only serves to rev up the stalker and present him a kind of challenge to overcome. Gavin deBecker, whose job is keeping stalked clients safe, explains it in his book, and vigorously advocates against obtaining a TRO when violence has been threatened because it will almost always escalate a potentially violent stalker to worse, sometimes lethal, behavior. It's disheartening to see police still telling everyone who feels unsafe to obtain one. It is a measure of how toothless the law is in this area. In a society where we don't arrest people for what we think they may do, but rather for what they have done, it gets complicated. But perhaps we need to take people's words more literally and decide that threatening violence is more serious than we do now. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4154-all-episodes-talk-48-hours/page/11/#findComment-3069396

walnutqueen March 12, 2017 Share March 12, 2017 Oh shit. Abduct, rape and slit the throat of a little 8 year old girl. Get caught 27 years later and kill yourself after confessing. Somebody's going to follow you to Hell just to kick your ass (probably before I get there, goddammit). 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4154-all-episodes-talk-48-hours/page/11/#findComment-3070304

JasminePhyllisia March 12, 2017 Share March 12, 2017 Sad story, amazingly strong child (and woman.) It bothers me that it took so long to solve the case, he was a neighbor at the time. She gave his actual first name, that should have narrowed things down quite a bit. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4154-all-episodes-talk-48-hours/page/11/#findComment-3070772
patty1h March 12, 2017 Share March 12, 2017 I didn't get the last 10-15 minutes either; I saw this monster start to confess then it cut off. When I watch these reality crime shows, I'm always curious what makes the criminal do the crime. Did he say why he decided to be a piece of human garbage - did he say he was drunk or strung out or has a mental illness, or did he use the cop-out "I don't know why I did it". I hate the "I don't know" - that angers me as much as the crime. Be truthful and say what was going through your mind while you were driving around with a child. Say that you are a sexual predator who saw an opportunity and used it to rape and then murder, so as to not have a witness to your horrible crime. Why obfuscate after the fact and after they've been caught - own up! I guess they try to convince themselves that they're not a monster by not voicing their real motivations and the depths of their soullessness. No sir, you ARE a monster. Hope he rots in hell. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4154-all-episodes-talk-48-hours/page/11/#findComment-3070897
Madding crowd March 12, 2017 Share March 12, 2017 I wondered what made him tick too- he was talking like he was a young man who maybe did drugs and minor crimes while he was young, not rape and try to kill a little girl. I wonder what his life was like after this happened. Monsters like him don't just stop everything and have a normal life but that is what it seems here. I have lots of respect for Jennifer and how strong she has been over the years. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4154-all-episodes-talk-48-hours/page/11/#findComment-3070994

He said he didn't know why he did it. RME. Jennifer was so brave and strong, and I'm glad to see that she's happy. I wanted her to get her moment in court, but the coward killed himself, which I had a feeling he'd do. At least she got some sense of closure when she went to his grave and the ant bit her, and she figured that meant he was listening. I wonder how much guilt her mom had. Not that she could have known what would happen. But still. The one time she asks her daughter to go back to her room and look what happens. I was so impressed by all the details Jennifer remembered and gave to the police. A lot of adults probably wouldn't remember that much and the sketch artist was dead on with her sketch. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4154-all-episodes-talk-48-hours/page/11/#findComment-3071001

Will have to Google. I'm way behind with my crime tv. Just watched the Stephen Schwartz case, and there's no doubt in my mind that Becky was somehow involved. I can't tell about Leo. He could have been involved, but he also comes across as believable to me. Have watched part of the stalking episode. I remember reading an article several years ago where Pauley said that she had considered leaving NCIS and moving to Europe to try and increase the distance from her stalker. Then, I believe he went to jail for some reason, and talk of Pauley leaving the show stopped.

Was not one of the reasons he was charged with murder is because she was found dead with her arms up and out in an unnatural position? (ie he had left the pillow he smothered her with under her arms and rigor set in?) The defense claimed that she died of natural causes related to liver disease. Would the coroner not have had to rule the death a homicide for him to be charged in the first place? Apparently the jury came back with their verdict in just over two hours. I hope a follow up is done on this case to find out how the jury came to their very swift decision. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4154-all-episodes-talk-48-hours/page/11/#findComment-3074172
mythoughtis March 13, 2017 Share March 13, 2017 There was a second coroner - that one ruled it homicide. The first coroner( whose decisions in several cases have been questionable) did not.

UsernameFatigue March 13, 2017 Share March 13, 2017 Bits and pieces are coming back to me now. From what I remember the kids also said that their mom was sitting on the stairs when they left for school, so supposedly she could not have been dead when they left. But the paramedics said that when they arrived rigor had already set in, which could not have happened in the short time between when the kids left for school and hubby dearest found her when he returned. I really hope 48hrs does a follow up. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4154-all-episodes-talk-48-hours/page/11/#findComment-3074336

The youngest child was at home when the mom died because he was only like 2-3 years old? I'm also remembering a second wife. In any case, I'm also hoping for a follow-up.
