Most Interesting Cases - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Does everyone else from time to time see a case on UM they just instantly become interested with?

I often find myself doing internet searches on victims/witnesses/suspects names to see if there are any updates, or a case has been solved. (In fact it's how I found this forum).

I go through the UMwiki site, but I sometimes wonder if it's even close to up to date.

Anyway some cases that over time have interested me are:

* The case of the teenage girl who wakes up in her room not knowing who she is or what has happened. She hits redial on the phone with her nose/face (she's tied up) and ends up getting in contact with her mum who comes home and with the police find her tied up in her room. She doesn't know who her mum is, or who she is etc. Eventually she begins having fits where pieces of her memory return and she recalls who she is, who people are, what happened to her that day.

Apparently it's still unsolved, but the police seem to think she's full of crap basically and is covering her ass on something else. I personally believe her, it seems a ridiculous length to go t keep something quite unless she'd face serious jail time for it, and I just can't see how this story helps her cover anything to that extent.

* Anthonette Cayideo (Name is spelt wrong, surely). It's the case that rbought me here actually and I've already forgot the spelling of her name... Shameful.

Anyway, it's the case of a girl abducted from her home in 1986 near a reservation type city. the girl supposedly calls the police a year later telling them her name and city she's currently in before a man is heard asking her "who said you could use the phone?" and the phone being hung up. (Personally i hear a womans voice in that clip, but maybe it's not the real tape). There is years later a supposed sighting of her in a resturant where she tries to subtly get the attention of her waitress and ends up leaving a note under her plate that says "Help me, call the police!".

I saw a thread on this, where several people seemed t think it was the mother somehow, but I don't really buy those theories currently.

* The case of a woman who is terrorised by someone for years, the police decide she's making it all up (doing things to herself). She eventually goes missing for weeks before being found dead. The police claim it was suicide despite the fact she's got a nylon stocking tied tight on her head, and her hands and feet tied behind her back with a lot of drugs in her system... I couldn't tie myself up like that at the best of times, let alone on drugs and dying.

* There's a case I can't remember well at all, I recall seeing it when I was younger... probably back around the late 90s. I remember being interested by it, but now all I recall is something to do with a highway, where someone is driving and another car manages to get them to pull over and then ends up shooting them... it may have been a serial killing I think, but I can't recall.

* The unibomber/Zodiac killer connection. I'd read about that elsewhere before and after, and it's something I think is quite likely true.

* One about a serial killer (new bedford highway killer IIRC). I'd read about him on wikipedia not long before seeing this case, and the UM segment focused on a woman who managed to survive an attack they think was by the killer. She was pregnant and stopped to get a drink on her way home, when a man pulled up beside her. He came over to her car opened the door and held a knife to her.

She managed to run away but he caught up fairly quickly and stabbed her many times until she stayed still, and he took off as she was trying to get bakc to her feet. she got in her car amaingly and stated driving quickly to her friends to get help.

She crazily ends up behind the guy who just tried to kill her, but she pulls off into her friends house for help, and as the friend comes out to her on the porch the killer comes back around, stops out the front, looking at them, and then takes off.

So what are some of the ones that interest others? Why? Are there any updates on the ones I've mentioned that you know of?

Richard Church- He killed his ex-gf's parents after a break up by stabbing them while they sleep and then he tried to kill her and he stabbed her younger brother. He is currently serving a life sentence in an Illinois prison.

Reggie Depalma- He was the chief of the Connecticut fire department and had a kids group set up at the station but was accused of raping 3 girls and he evaded capture for almost 20 years. He got 30 years I think?

Donnie Hanson- He was accused but never convicted of setting a house fire and killing his 2 younger sisters because of a lack of evidence. He changed his name and would not be interviewed on camera and declined to reveal his name.

Teresita Basa- She communicated with a co-worker and named Alan Showery as her killer but certain facts she admitted in the dream were not known by authorities to convict Alan Showery as the killer. He served his time and was released

Timothy Cooms- He tried to kill officer Bob Harper after he arrested Robert Joos who was his cult's leader. He's at large.

Brad Bishop- He bludgeoned his 3 sons, wife and mother to death in MD in 1976 and then set them on fire. He then disappeared and has only been seen twice.

I wouldn't say this is a most interesting case for me, but I really did enjoy it. Something about that particular guy getting caught and put away really satisfied me. The killing seemed so pointless... To steal few jewelery items to give to his girlfriend? What a crap reason to kill someone who was somewhat of a friend.

Not sure I believe how the evidence was found (ie the ghost/possession stuff), but I'd love to believe it... It'd be awesome if people could come back after being murdered to point the finger at the killers and locate evidence.

Omar's arsonist-this teenager tried something that probably creeped us all out. But it is a great thing he was caught so soon after the segment was displayed.

all the treasure segments-I am fascinated by stories of lost treasure. I was especially intrigued my the skeleton canyon horseriders, the treasure from Dachau, and Victorio's Peak.

Eliot Ness
Face on Mars-I know it wasn't real, but it seems so cool, because I love astronomy.
Bermuda triangle
the blob from Oakville, Washington
Resurrection Mary-it would be awesome to come into actual verbal contact with a ghost. But I would keep quiet about it if it actually happened.
Phoenix Lights

Tara Calico-her beauty has always caught my attention. If there was one UM case that I could solve if I was given the power to, it would be finding where Tara is buried so she could be laid to rest.

Well in the dream Teresita said jewelry was missing too and the authorities never knew that and they were trying to just use any lead they had. Showery only served like 5 years though
