Does anyone here know the name and episode number of the case where there was a car bomb outside a factory in Sparrows Point? (Baltimore). The case was solved by tagamets if I recall correctly.

Thanks in advance.

Hi. This may not be relevant for this page but I’m wondering about if anyone knows about cases where DNA was used from licking a stamp or envelope? There is discussion lately in the DB Cooper hijacking case about DNA found on a stamp from a letter sent to a journalist from someone claiming to be DB Cooper (I don’t believe he is DB Cooper). I also don’t believe a stamp could lead to a person. The person who has the stamp says it points to a certain family. I won’t name names because that family does not want their loved one talked about.

My neighbor is disabled due to a traumatic brain injury. A few days ago she fell on her outside steps and had us take her to the ER. Later she was telling me how her black slippers are what tripped her up and I almost started laughing. I was able to hold back because I did not want to explain what was so funny.

Some of the earliest seasons are from the late 90s and some of the episodes that cover events in the 90s are humorous to me when some aspect of the internet has to be explained to the viewer. This kind of results in them talking in simpler words, likening things to everyday tangible objects, or trying to help the viewer gets convinced and perceived on how "big" or how "much" something is in a similar way but since it's something of large size they get a little more over-the-top with it.

For example: 7x35 X-Marks The Spot the killer used an early internet mapping system to send someone a map to the body of the next victim. The police are able to hunt him down thanks to a hidden element on the map the Killer didn't know about. They got to him by finding out where/when that website was visited recently by someone in the era and who looked at that spot on the map.

Parts of it just kind of fun to watch as they do this, remembering how the internet was back then and doing it myself with people new to computers.

Today they probably would just say, "Yeah, he got on his phone, found the map, emailed to his printer back at home and then it spit out a full color map 2 seconds later."

How are you all engaging with a post when there is zero context provided? I don't have 400+ episodes of all 14 seasons memorized, so for the love of discussion can we just include that information from the jump? Please & thank you 🙏🏽

I've been watching the original FF series and have been getting into new episodes lately. At first, I thought it was a coincidence that every episode of FF II I watched heavily focused on the intervention of a psychic. But tonight I'm on my 6th or 7th episode where a psychic is the star of the show - it's repetitive, and is not even subtle. I see other people commenting on that here and there, but I wondered if we have more info on FF II's production? Is there an agenda? The narrative structure, with the psychic getting involved and interviews of police force members commenting that they did not believe at first "but where open to anything at this point", then saying they were pretty much convinced at the end of each episode, is oddly reiterative. Or did I manage to stubble upon a sample that is not at all representative of the whole series?

Jason Funk (Muffled cries) signing his own name on the receipt when he was at the gas station instead of signing Katie Froeschles

Mark Hoffman (Postal Mortem) blowing himself up when trying to deliver another bomb to someone else

Brian Vaughn (Shattered Innocence) his 911 call and the operator catching his screw up

Mike Garvin (One for the Road) Reports his wife missing while on vacation in Miami saying she left the hotel room and never came back. He murdered her in their house in Jacksonville and dumped her body in a field on the way to Miami he was caught on camera driving alone on E-ZPass

Tracey Frame (Separation Anxiety) goes grocery shopping after murdering her boyfriend and uses her discount card saving 34 cents I believe it was.

Patrick Thomas (Flower Power) he stalked his coworker followed her home and murdered her because she rejected him while trying to leave the house his car gets stuck in a ditch and he has to call for help while the victims boyfriend had already called. Patrick said he came to check on Pam and stumbled upon her body.

What are some of yours

Hi, I'm a long-time binger of true crime content on YouTube... and recently I found out about this series, Forensic Files. In my country I saw I can easily access Forensic Files II (which I understand it's a newer series... not sure if it's a remake or new cases).

My question: it's ok to start with this Forensic Files II, see if I like it (probably) and then look into how to watch the old ones from the beginning? Or by watching Forensic Files II I'm ruinning the experience for the "original"? Hope my question makes sense.

Season 25? Maybe 24. The lawyer who had an affair with a judge. Wife 3-4 weeks pregnant “accidentally “ shot herself with their gun after a morning at the range.

It was determined she was shot while on the floor on her hands and knees. This is so awful, but I can’t help feeling that he may have shot her while they were having sex. Official story is she was getting up off the floor after sex and he shot her. I think he had a better window of opportunity by shooting her during sex, but the idea is so awful. Did anyone else come to that conclusion?
