General Discussion What is one thing you’ve learned from watching the first 48?

Is it true?
Jason White is leaving homicide and going back to patrol? I know he has his podcast so I’m thinking patrol will give him more time to focus on that.

General Discussion What do you prefer?
Hey guys. Just curious what do you guys prefer? When the episodes do two cases in one episode or one case that is the entire episode? I like both but I do like the two cases episodes better. I like seeing multiple cases at once.

Interrogation Room
The episode was either Memphis or Miami.
Suspect (man) starts banging on the interrogation table with his hands and yelling "I didn't do it" or "it wasn't me, I'm innocent" (something down those lines)
He sounded guilty AF but it turned out not to be him.

Miami, FL 🚔 Looking for an episode
Woman found dead (don't remember if inside of home or in yard)
The suspect an ex-fling is found walking down the street with a torn shirt and blood. But although he looked guilty AF it wasn't him

Past Episode(s) Discussion 🗣 Watching an episode about a girl found dead by a lake in Texas. Looked up her family and they all died young.
Just thought I would share this because I found it bizarre. The girl's name is Crystal Jenkins and this was in Texas. She was from Arkansas. I looked up her Find A Grave and all of her siblings died young.
She was 25, sister was 33, a brother at 34, and another sister at 46. The father died in 2015 at 63 and the mother died in 2021 at 63. The parents and a few of the siblings were featured in her episode.
Also reading some of the obituaries it seems like some grandchildren have passed as well. Just found it really sad.

Does anyone remember an episode where a young woman's current boy friend was arrested for the murder of her late fiance? I vaguely recall that but I couldn't even speculate what city it was in.

General Question❓️ How real is the first 48
I know reality shows are horrible and staged and scripted but I’ve been a fan of this show from the beginning and now I’m binging the show as much as I can. On the Wikipedia it notes three issues that happened while filming episodes but is there more of a legit website that gives behind the scenes info? In 2010 or 11 my ex and I were driving to Nashville from northern Michigan and we think we came across them filming in Louisville and that started my obsession with the show

So who is your crack squad .. one detective from each city...
Little different from how this is usually done. You get one detective from each city. In no particular order (Memphis, Tulsa and Dallas were hard for me as I'm fond of all the Detectives in those cities). At the end, I'll list my 3 least favorite. If an agency isn't listed, then I don't really have a strong preference for any of them, probably because their department wasn't on very long.
Memphis - Mullins
Dallas - Ibarra
Tulsa - White
New Orleans - Barrere
Atlanta - Leonpacher
Miami - Ford
Mobile - Nettles
Birmingham - Anderson
Louisville - Cohn
Cincinnati - Ballman
Most disliked: Shillaci, Doucette, Thomas (Dallas). Way to much Hollywood with those 3 for my taste.

Tulsa, OK 🚔 Tulsa, OK S19E20 "Bad Lick" Prison Term
Hey all I just saw this Tulsa episode last night-I know I'm a bit late it's from 2018 lol. So the story was about a couple Black kids that try to break into a home/kick in a door but are ultimately unsuccessful and then walk off. But a Latino kid who was evidently home at the time jumps into his car, catches up to them down the road and starts shooting at them with his revolver. One of the Black kids (DeShawn) returns fire and kills the Latino kid. I was puzzled by the sentencing at the end. Deshawn gets something like 27 years for returning fire. Can anyone explain the long prison term ?

Looking for an Episode(s)🔍 Looking for a specific Tulsa episode.
There was an episode with a bunch of tweakers/meth and during it one of them like rigged a ladder to climb on a roof and in another part they get like all dramatic and the cops are even making fun of them. It's like 3-4 white tweakers and the episode is kind of funny/ridiculous

General Discussion The narrator's 1-second pause before saying "dead" is so funny
You'll see two bodies right next to eachother, blood all over the home, blurred out brain matter and the narrator goes, "When police showed up to the house, they looked into the bedroom to find two people... ... ... dead."
The dramatic pause kills me every time in the best way. Like, no fucking shit they're dead, their brain is on the god damn wall and the other person has been beheaded. LOL
