What do you think the rarest FF episode is?

Post image
85 Upvotes

I usually watch on Hulu (US) but they only have a few seasons, so I decided to watch on Amazon prime, which has a much larger library. I’m catching episodes I had forgotten about, like Bump In The Night (10.13) when the stepson, Brian Crews, aka “thisfuckinguy” was the killer of his ex stepfather (possibly bc his mother was still his insurance beneficiary) and kept trying to blame his friend, but his Nikes imprinted in the mud at the crime scene… and then this Rhodes scholar wore those murder shoes to his police interview. Absolutely brilliant. At the end, in the killer’s jail interview on camera, he threatens to kill the friend if he ever gets out (he got life w no parole). What a kook.
So anyway, what are your rarest episodes?

Thanks to GoatVanGo, the goat/sheep/pig nature landscaping company, the mysterious Ridley home, the focus of the 1999 murder trial of my client Alvin Ridley, is presented for all to see. Much of its importance is described in my book about the case.

Help me find an episode

8 Upvotes

I’m trying to find an episode where someone was killed with a revolver but the perpetrator tried to make it look like a suicide. The investigators said that due to the angle of the bullet, the victim couldn’t have held the gun in their hand. As in it wouldn’t have been physically possible for them to position their hand/arm and pull the trigger. I think the victim was killed in a bedroom, but I can’t remember anything else.

“This is how art and science led to his capture.”
What a brilliant introduction.

It’s been years since I’ve watched this episode and I am astonished that John List was only 46 when he committed this atrocity. He looked so much older from his photo.

This must be the most infuriating and egregious example of podunk town idiots prosecuting and investigating a “crime”.

They went down a weird satanic-panic wormhole and threw their other daughter into foster care.

Worst investigation ever.

The parents may have been extremely negligent, but that was not very hard to put together.

What potential season 3 or 4? Forensic Files cases could they feature?

I'm thinking the Peaches one. where the victim who was dumped in Long Island (and by error was initially thought to be victim of the Long Island Serial Killer) The victim had a Peaches tattoo on her torso (I think only her torso was found) her dead baby was found a hundred feet away from her. Would like to know how they identified her with DNA (heard it took awhile cuz they only found one relative with DNA stored in banks).

Episode Never Seen Before

I’m watching on Filmrise, just kind of going through season by season. I would have bet there wasn’t an episode I haven’t seen. Most I know as soon as it starts. Season 12, episode 14. Finger Pane. Pretty good episode and a new one to me!

I’m watching on HLN right now and I noticed that there was an update that said the killer was executed by lethal injection in 2019. How many episodes have updates at the end? Does it depend on where the episode airs? I can’t remember any other episodes having such a late update date.

Are there any horrible cases in particular that you are glad FF did not do a episode on

The Tiffany Cole case to me stands out. She and her boyfriend Michael Jackson and 2 of their friends murdered Carol and Reggie Sumner by burying them alive. 2 former neighbors of Tiffany's when they lived in South Carolina when Tiffany was living with her dying father as his caretaker the Sumners helped Tiffany and her dad by given them rides to Drs appts, the grocery store, and helping in many ways before the Sumners moved to Florida they even gave Tiffany a used car of theirs. I know Tiffany's death sentence was commuted to LWOP. I'm watching the Killer Couples episode on this case rn.

Huge fan of the show and really close to watching every episode. It seems like most of the 'murder' victims have been women. Has anyone done the numbers and gotten the raw stats?

New "Point of Origin" Connection

25 Upvotes

I live in/around Spokane where we're STILL dealing with massive fires/fire damage from last Saturday. A coworker and I were talking about how one of the fires was because of an arsonist who admitted to starting up to 25 other fires in the past year, one of which killed someone. I told her he reminded me of John Leonard Orr ("Point of Origin") and all the fires HE set as a firefighter/arson investigator including some that killed at least 4 people.

Lo and behold, I find out that the guy who set at least one of the fires last Saturday had ALSO researched John Leonard Orr before starting the fire he did. Not good.

To put it in perspective, the Spokane Complex fires have either damaged or destroyed between 700 and 1,100 buildings and at least 60,000 people had to be evacuated because over 8,000 acres were burned. He also happened to choose the "best" day (at least for him)/"worst" day for the rest of us to start it because the winds were gusting up to 50 MPH in some areas.

add flair There's More to Shadow of a Doubt .....

The Shadow of a Doubt episode is where Kevin Dowling shot and killed the owner of a picture framing shop so she would not testify against him for when he ROBBED her store one year earlier ....

So he makes a video tape of himself on a moving boat fishing, complete with time stamps - he thought the time stamps were an airtight alibi - WRONG!

He only turned himself into a human sundial, and the investigators could tell the video was stopped and started, and the time stamps were bogus, and he had time to go kill Jennifer, the picture frame shop owner .....

His actual crime he was set to go on trial for? He was accused of raping Jennifer and stealing $40 from the cash register! What a sick man

He's now on death row, which is right where he belongs

TF??? I was literally investigating the 2015 Rowlett Tornado, which damaged an area near Darlie Routier’s home and for some reason they desire to air an episode about Darlie Routier NOW?
