  1. I have seen a million true crime stories where someone hired a private eye. This is the first one I've seen where the guy actually solved the case.

  2. That girl who jumped out of a car on the highway did something courageous and amazing! She not only saved her own life, but also so many others!

  3. She was retried, and again found guilty of both murders four days ago, Friday, Sep 22nd. Sentencing in January.

  4. Why do they keep telling us how much Caitlin and Jackie looked alike, when that is so obviously untrue? They look nothing like each other.

  5. The company where Jame Closs's parents worked offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to finding Jayme. They gave the money to Jayme, for freeing herself.

  6. Allen Blackthorne died in prison in 2014, age 59. No cause of death provided. Stevie is now 39 years old, three years older than her mom was when she was killed. The quadruplets are 25. EDIT! -> Another commenter caught my mistake: The quads are actually 27, and turn 28 in December. My apologies for the error.

  7. That poor wife - one day she is a wife of a successful and loving husband, mother of five. The next day she is not only a widow, but the entire narrative is wrecked.

  8. I like when 48 Hours brings us the really old episodes (13 years ago, in this case) because I forgot half of it already, and can rewatch. Plus the old episodes are better anyway.

  9. The story of the con woman so brilliant that she never used an alias, even when posting escort ads and when killing 🤦‍♂️
    267
  10. Anyone who is into true crime knew exactly where this one was heading sixty seconds into the program

  11. Let me get this straight...The Houston PD not only missed her getting off the plane, she picked up her bags from the conveyor without their noticing? What??!
    236
  12. The cases of innocent people being exonerated are always the best 👍
    225
  13. They always portray the victims as wonderful people. But this time, they really were. So sad.😢

  14. This episode is from 2007...Ever notice that the old episodes are far better? They just MOVE, one step to the next. The newer episodes are 10 minutes of content, 34 minutes of filler. PS - RIP Harold Dow, one of the greats.

  15. I think every one of us wants to give the biggest hug to 10 year old Robin Doan. What a heartbreaking story. And what an amazing young lady.
    172
  16. That woman who didn't scream because of her two babies sleeping? What an amazing person. All the respect in the world. Her widower is rightfully proud of that amazing wife he had.
    166
  17. That is the worst cover story ever. If that's the best he can do, he should have just run away and never called the cops.

  18. Just remember: Nearly all the information Suffolk law enforcement needed was available a dozen years ago, but then-Police Chief James Burke, plus the DA who got Burke the job, Thomas Spota, and Spota's investigator, Chris McPartland, all three were corrupt as hell. The entire Suffolk PD was a total mess for years as a result. And yes, that helped the serial killer get away with this until now. Think about the roommate who managed to describe the "ogre" and his unusual vehicle - and no one did anything about it for well over a decade. Just unbelievable. All the credit to the current ones who solved it in six weeks. As to James Burke, Thomas Spota and the rest? Shame on them. I also feel bad for all the investigators who badly wanted to solve this case years ago but were stopped by James Burke and the rest of that bunch.

  19. These soccer moms thinking that they are actual detectives is almost as funny as them thinking they're attractive.

  20. Fascinating story, poorly reported. Were the busdriver and head whatever actually having an affair? When they say that the two began dating after the busdriver's husband died, what about the other guy's wife? They did say he was married. Anyway, whatever happened to the two of them later? Who else was investigated, and what became of it? And that's just off the top of my head.

  21. What a terrible case. Haunting. Thank you for posting.

  22.  @maricamaas2326  She moved 1200 miles away to an unknown address after he completely renounced custody. What was she to do? Live in an armored underground bunker with her kids for the next fifty years? How would she educate them? Get food? Make a living? This is absolutely NOT on the victim.

  24.  @maricamaas2326  Why do you insist upon blaming the victim?
    89
  25. His half sister gave him up. Her name was on a credit card in the case.
    79
  26. ​ @MrLamf2939sh  I think your friend may not be telling you the whole story...

  28. You people are insane. Her attorney had a job to do, and did it properly.
    68
  29. An hour later, but yeah.
    66
  30. That was just weird
    65
  31. Sheila had seemingly moved on, meaning her only concern with Blackthorne was presumably not having him around. Anyone who can walk away without obsessing is in a much better place.
    63
  32. 48 Hours left out half the story, making it very hard to reach an intelligent conclusion.
    62
  33. ​ @uschurch  Your point is valid. Ignore the complaints.
    62
  34. ​ @susanadiaz4385  Did Shawna's sister request custody? If so, she should have gotten it. And if she didn't, then why not? Anyway, Maddie is now 19 year old.

  35. Stevie is 39 years old, three years older than her mom was when she was killed. The quadruplets are 25. EDIT! -> Another commenter pointed out that I made a mistake: The quads are actually 27, and turn 28 in December. I apologize for the error.

  36. But...but..but...she dyed her hair different colors all the time! Isn't that great! What a special person she was.
    57
  37. When do we get to see Part Two of this episode?
    56
  38. He came around, I guess, as millions of others have, once we realized how dangerous the Democrats have become.
    52
  39. She is not the victim. He is.
    51
  40. ​ @MrGrumpyGills  Yes, 2015, not 2008.
    50
  41. ​ @11zanderman  Well, in that case...
    50
  42.  @maricamaas2326  So she should have shared custody of the girls with an abuser? Then what would you have said once he kidnapped or killed the girls? Think.
    48
  43.  @DamagedArtwork  WOW. That is very interesting. Makes me think that letting her out of prison in her early-to-mid 40s is a very bad idea. I wonder why she received such a light sentence? She actually turned down a plea agreement for 25 years, then somehow got only 20.5 after being found guilty. It's baffling. Anyway, I really appreciate your providing that perspective.

  44. The comments here attacking Arden are insane. Did any of you watch the end of the video??
    45
  45.  @amandam1137  You're dead wrong. In her comments throughout the entire comment section, she not only blamed the victim, but badmouthed her widower as well.
    45
  46. @6kat103 Wonderful comment. Keep writing it on these types of videos - you are saving lives.
    43
  47.  @alexlogan202  What a terrible accusation, utterly without basis. For shame.
    41
  48. ​ @joshuaclayton6907  Yeah, not the most innocent victims.
    40
  49.  @InnerHorizonLed  Quadruplets. Mental health professionals will tell you that major trauma can happen even with events that happen at an extremely young age, and must be dealt with in therapy. I wouldn't know, but so I'm told.

  50. Kelly Siegler is absolutely amazing.
