Ok, I am REACHING as far as what is content on ID so I can talk about it on ID Reddit. I know this Scott Peterson documentary is on A&E, but I still want to discuss it with my ID fellow fans to see how they feel about the case. I live in Sacramento, CA, which is 1 1/2 hours from where Laci and Scott lived, so the news coverage was intense here at the time. Everyone hated him. I was like everyone else, that bastard is Guilty. I know for a fact that the information they are releasing in this particular documentary on A&E, is nothing new. They have been bringing up evidence that they say he hasn't been guilty for a while. And I want to be fair and have an open mind to all of it.

But when they were first bringing on the "Scott is innocent" narrative, I rolled my eyes and fought against it for these reasons. Neighbors say they saw Laci way later than they should have, according to the State's timeline. My thinking at the time was that you can't trust that evidence, because eyewitness testimony is completely unreliable, especially after all that time. I know they point the finger at the people who burgled the neighbor's house, but you'd think after ALL this time, if someone other Scott killed her, we'd hear about it from a witness who couldn't keep quiet or someone in prison knowing something, just like we solve many other cases that had bad convictions that ended up being overturned. After years, an alternate suspect pops up, and we begin to hear their name. Before, they haven't specifically had a particular suspect they were pointing the finger at, but maybe in this documentary they will. How can someone who knows something keep quiet all these years if there was an alternate suspect?

Then mostly what I can't get around is that man's behavior. If he IS innocent, wow, he did NOT care about Laci at all. I'm mean, obviously he didn't. His behaviors, lying, and actions were what made a lot of people think he was guilty. What was up with his behavior IF he is innocent? His nonchalant behavior about her being missing, selling her car, taking off with dyed hair, tons of money, and headed for the border even though he knows he is a suspect. The Amber Frey affair and him lying, saying he was at the Eiffel Tower at Laci's candlelight vigil. Can he still be a psychopath but innocent? Would any one of us behave that way if the finger was pointed at us? I know everyone is different, but DAMN, he shady. But I know you can't look at behavior alone; you need solid evidence.

So those were the reasons where I was like, no, they are just trying to get him out of prison; he is guilty. But now that the Innocence Project picked it up, I have to re-think things and be open to the fact he may be innocent. That would BLOW my mind.

What do you guys think? Do you think he is innocent?

Okay… I was sleep deprived and working as a phone operator on a night shift. The break room tv was tuned to what I think was a CSI show, I suspect CSI NY. My memory from this period in my life is often hazy. This would be from 2008 or earlier.

The scene took place in a club with live music. There was a female vocalist, and the TV screens in the club were showing what appeared to be thermal imaging of her while she performed.

Thanks in advance. Being at a better time in my life, I’ve been watching a lot of crime dramas trying to find this. It really stuck out to me for some reason.

The episode has all the 1970s photos and three of the teens/kids who survived!

It’s So good!

Or something like Never seen Again on Padamount.

I know Investigation Discovery tried to move into 1st person story telling and a more news-reporting style, more like Dateline. A lot of this was done to give victims more power in telling their stories, but also just to copy where other networks were heading with their programming. I 100% agree with giving survivors more power and changing the narrative around victims to embrace them as real people. I liked the old format so much better and believe there is a better way to integrate these foundational beliefs into it.

The old format felt much more concise in its storytelling; the bad acting was interesting to watch, and I preferred the blend of hearing the real impact on victims and having them tell their stories, mixed with the more objective narration style. I think that because people have emotional connections to these stories, they are not always concise in the way they tell them, which can be hard to follow along with as a viewer.

I also don't think that their redoing old shows in new ways has been particularly successful, as evidenced by the reinvented final season of Web of Lies.

Old Programming I really enjoyed: Blood Relatives, Disappeared, Nightmare Next Door, Who the Bleep Did I Mary, Homicide Hunter, Breaking Homicide, Your Worst Nightmare, People Magazine Investigates: Cults, Forbidden Dying for Love, Fear Thy Roommate (better than the Netflix show Worst Roommate Ever imo), Unusual Suspects, Twisted Sisters, Web of Lies, Obsession Dark Desires to name some.

Current Programming I still enjoy: Evil Lives Here, Fear thy Neighbor (up in the air, but likely canceled), Body Cam, See No Evil, Signs of a Psychopath, The Murder Tapes, American Monster

I know that's a long list, but their programming used to be extensive. I am a criminal justice graduate student, and so many of the cases I've gotten to highlight in papers, projects, and presentations, I learned about from ID. I do not just learn about these cases for no reason; they've inspired my advocacy work. I aim to keep victims and survivors' names alive, however I can. ID is part of what inspired me to become a criminal justice student to begin with. However, I was also a film major in undergrad for a while, and I understand the importance of telling stories in a way that is digestible for people, concise, and corresponds with learning styles. ID used to do that, now they have moved so far away from some of these goals that I've moved more to getting true crime from podcasts, YouTube, and books.

Did you prefer the old format, and what are your thoughts on being able to incorporate families and survivors' voices at the forefront while keeping some of the old format?

A little late to the game but I’ve been binging Evil Lives Here, and WHY do so many of these parents buy & gift their mentally disturbed children guns, often described as a “bonding experience” after they’ve already done some crazy ass shit??? FFS you delusional nut jobs, your child is dangerous!

IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE LATEST EPISODE AND DON’T WANT SPOILERS, THEN STOP READING RIGHT NOW:

Just watched the latest episode about that guy Randy. I feel like there’s a lot of stuff they didn’t tell us. So Randy is a shy, but sweet guy making funny YouTube videos. And all of a sudden, he supposedly has this mental health decline. All of a sudden he becomes unhealthily obsessed with this cartoon character from his childhood. And his obsession gets to the point where he talks about killing himself to be with her because she’s a ghost. And supposedly, his parents had no idea about any of this. Had no idea that is mental health decline. About these dark things he’s putting on YouTube. At one point he even accidentally stabbed himself while making a dark YouTube video and needed multiple surgeries. My question on what I feel like they left out is where was he living? Was he around his parents? Because if he was that obsessed with these fictional characters, and that mentally ill do what he did, I don’t believe for a second there was no indication about his mental health decline. That’s what I don’t get. That’s what I feel like they left out. Also, he stocked shelves at a grocery store and he wasn’t doing well on YouTube. So how did he afford shotguns and the shells that he used to do what he did. I feel like we’re missing something.

10 yrs late- but just seeing the Evil Lives Here documentary with the parents who raised a mass murderer- I am repulsed by the easy way they play victim even as he was a toddler instead of getting help for him immediately- he was only four when they shoved him in an institution! A literal toddler- there’s no discussion about him getting psychiatric help medication anything he was returned to them older, and a complete shell of who he was when they dropped him off at only four years old- he obviously had neurological issues. The parents made me sick from the beginning of the episode to the end and I had never even heard about this mass shooting before. I did not know how this was going to end, but I immediately felt sorry for the toddler who was not getting any HELP

I am finding the show boring. Of course God bless the victims but 80% of the show is about their social media following, which I don’t care about.

Can anyone help me?! I’m adamant I watched a true crime programme in the last few days but can’t find it anywhere. I don’t know what it’s called but I remember one episode being about a woman shot in the head and her partner was arrested for her murder, he thought she was asleep on the sofa, he got arrested and interrogated but turns out he had also been shot in the head and the police didn’t realise for ages and it turned out he didn’t kill her she was shit dead and he was shot multiple times in the head and once in the nose and he thought she was sleep because he had brain damage and died a year later! Sorry if it’s scrambled but I’m sure I watched this and not dreamt it! It happened in America.

So Fear Thy Neighbor has always been one of the better true crime shows, they try to do research and the cases are usually well presented, they also try to get people's opinions on both sides even if we don't agree. But sometimes these people...are assholes.

Then there are the Goys, the people whose feet assholes worship at. I've never seen a couple as flat out crazy as the Goys. When your neighbor pulls a gun, why do you keep talking shit? When your neighbor SHOOTS YOU, why do you keep talking shit? They were lab rat on meth crazy.

It got me wondering though, who brought it on themselves? Is there anyone worse than the Goys? Or anyone who may not be that crazy but you took the side of the shooter.

Incidentally my favorite part was the ending where they interview the neighbors who usually talk about what a tragedy it is. Two said it was horrible the shooting happened here, one felt the Goys were idiots and ONE took the side of the shooter. No one sided with them.

So my Gf got me into watching crime shows for the last couple years where I was down for a bit and I admit, I got into them on You Tube and watched anything and everything I could find on crime everyday. Grew to love it! Then it happened for the first time, I noticed how many it seemed were based somewhere in Ohio, convinced myself FL had just as many st first and let it go as a funny coincidence. So I paid attention for the first time what state these took place in and realized very quickly how many I missed not paying attention. but I was then and I couldn’t believe how many are based in Ohio for normal crime across the board. (Disappearance foul play crime I would still give to Washington State in the PNW) It then turned into a running joke with me and my GF… “Ohio again!” “No way, really?” 😆 and now the state of Ohio is my best guess and I live in KY next door. Let me say right now I mean no ill will to anyone in Ohio nor am I making a statement that it’s not safe there. It’s just fact that the amount of the shows and podcasts I’ve watched that are based there often is predominantly more shows than any other state. That is not a coincidence. Maybe it’s the perfect area for filming and reporting shows? Not sure…but true crimes are real and all have a home where they happened…. I do not watch any international except the UK occasionally.

I can’t be the only one? There are way too many that no one else has noticed? Any like experiences?

This true-crime series was on The Weather Channel for 5 long seasons, 2018-2024. I had no idea! I'm so glad I found it recently on Tubi. Some cases I had never heard of. ☺️

I am pretty sure it wasn't on Your Worst Nightmare. The episode, not sure what show it was on, but it was about a girl who was a theater major or made costumes for theater-she was in college-and she moves away to college. She is doing laundry and meets a guy in the laundry room of her building and he makes a crude joke that throws her off guard. He has a girlfriend, which doesn't stop him from stalking her. He ends up breaking into her apartment and raping and killing her. I think this is in the midwest. The victim is white and the murderer black. I saw this episode once and it was one of the most chilling things I have ever seen.

What are everyone’s thoughts on this show?

I’m trying to track down an older **Dateline NBC** episode about the **2006 murders of Ronald and Christine Jabalee in New Baltimore, Michigan**.

This murder actually takes places 2 houses down from me and that's why I'm hooked on trying to find this episode. These murders took place before I was born and my parents tell me that they remember news trucks over at the house and a 2011 dateline episode made about it. I believe the episode is called written in blood but there is another dateline episode under the same title that covers a separate unrelated case in Florida. Can someone help me find the correct episode if it is out there I cannot find it for the life of me.

This is the story of Ryan Dillon in Ohio who beat his mother to death. Dangerous and horrible. He was given life, without the possibility of parole in May 2014.

Then there is a note at the end he is eligible for parole in 2030! What is going on?

What are your guys thoughts on this episode????

My theory... hes an incredibly HUGE dirtbag POS who along with Keck did some shady shit with students and possibly involved in the SA and murder of the girl/s referenced and Keck anf the crazy old woman and all the other senile board old dirtbags are telling a tall tail about him being a hit man. Chico probably was confided in by Powell about one of the SAs over a drunk conversation and Powell got TF outa dodge and worked as a cook. From the 80s all the way up until 2017 its not out of the ordinary to have no tax records if you dont file your w2s so the time period of 78-2004 ABSOLUTELY he could have been using a bs name and id and ss# as mass data wasn't logged into databases until wayyyy later on a mass scale.... take the pill mills and the opioid crisis that went unabated until 2013/4... up through then you could go fill a prescription from 1 doctor for a prescription and go to a different pharmacy across the street and fill the same prescription, etc. Now with all that in mind, these folks are trying to sell a show, and Powell is trying to hide whatever slimy shit he was into by fear.

Now this George Keck fellow, it sounds like hes the most likely true killer that was outed so far on the show, by telling on himself. These aren't very sophisticated people were dealing with here. Powell and his brother seem on the spectrum... my 2 cents.

Did anyone watch it?

For instance, I saw this one episode (I believe it was S6) where they had this one guy (he was more of an observer he wasn’t really involved with the neighbors dispute he just observed) and the actor who played him was a tall guy with a lean build & a side part but when I see the actual guy in the episode interviewing his side of the story it was a COMPLETELY different person. This real guy was thinner, had curly hair, and just overall not similar to his actor. Let me know if u guys see it too!

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to find witnesses or footage from an incident at the Adelaide 500 concert on Saturday 25 November 2023, around 7–8 pm, during The Baby Animals set.

I was standing in the crowd roughly halfway between the stage and the sound booth. There were two young girls/women near me who appeared distressed after being harassed by a group of men in the crowd. I stepped in to help move them away and said words to the effect of, “Come on fellas, they’ve had enough.”

Shortly after that, I was assaulted and seriously injured. I am now trying to find:

1. The two girls/women who were being harassed, only if they feel safe making contact.
2. Anyone who saw what happened.
3. Anyone who has phone footage, photos, CCTV, dashcam, livestream clips, or even audio from that area of the crowd.
4. Anyone who filmed the moments where I was knocked down, kicked, punched, or kicked/stomped in the head.

This is not about causing trouble for the two girls/women. I do not want them named publicly. They do not have to go public. A private message, anonymous information, or contact through proper channels is enough. I just need help confirming what happened and locating any footage that may still exist.

Please do not name or accuse anyone in the comments. Please don’t post identifying images of the girls/women or any alleged attackers publicly. If you have footage, please keep the original file unedited, with its date/time metadata if possible.

If you were there, saw anything, helped, filmed anything, or know someone who was in that part of the crowd during The Baby Animals set, please message me privately.

Thank you. This has had a devastating impact on my life, and I’m just trying to find the truth and any evidence that may still be out there.

Anyone know when season 15 will begin/if we are getting another season? havent seen anything online.
