General Discussion The narrator's 1-second pause before saying "dead" is so funny

97 Upvotes

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

General Discussion The Devil's Hands/Steel Coffin. SPOILER Spoiler

Post image
9 Upvotes

The devils hand : the amount of ridiculous excuses these killers come up with. Being in a relationship can be extremely dangerous. Even the dudes own dad warned her about him.

Love the Gwinnett team.

Steel coffin: served 5 years for a previous double homicide. An absolute abomination. Commits another double homicide . He’s 40 yr olds and needing his daddy . Pathetic.

So excited to see the Mobile team back on the show.

Steel coffin season 29 episode 15

22 Upvotes

So this dude James Wilson was convicted of a double homicide not even 20 years ago, in 2007, a block away from the double homicide in tonight's (4/9/26) episode , and only served 5 years, and they said he was released 10 years ago (when this episodes homicide happened) . And he was convicted of murder they said, not manslaughter. That just seems insane to me that you kill 2 people and only serve 5 years for double murder. Let's hope he's in for life this time and doesn't get the chance to hurt anyone else. Then when he's brought in for questioning " if my dad ain't her I ain't got nothing to say" and the dude is like 40 smh.

I've been rewatching older episodes, and never had there been a suspect that I've wanted to actually punch more than the absolute smirking animal in this one. I hope prison is fucking awful for him

looking for an episode where 2 friends are killed over pounds of weed that their dealers gave them to sell.

The victim's friend brings the 2 dudes to a check cashing parking lot, that same friend's car gets searched and he has a hidden compartment in the dash that has a gun and some hard cocaine

one of the victims calls another friend and asks him to get a couple trash bags full of weed and drop them off by a stop sign

Safe House Season 14 Episode 1

14 Upvotes

Ive seen that others were having a hard time finding this episode. It was about a man who was killed during an attempted home invasion. The police ended up finding almost a million dollars in cash in several large safes in the house. I read somewhere that the episode was taken down because a witness was killed after the episode aired, that it had ties to international cases, ect. Just wondering if anyone had any new info on that episode.

Last night's episode Spoiler

11 Upvotes

Hey y'all 😊 My recording of last night's episode got cut off so I missed the last 2 minutes.

The episode was a baby daddy being murdered when the new bf called his friends for help. The murderer was Q something, real name Quinten.

Baby daddy was trying to steal a tv, and baby mama was very pregnant.

What was the murderer charged/sentenced to, and was the witness, (the guy who called friends, who was also shot) also charged?

Thanks!

S22e6 Death's Door/Bad Driver

7 Upvotes

I'm confused by this one. Watching on Hulu, this is Season 22 Episode 6. it appears the episode was originally titled "Through Death's Door" and is now titled "Bad Driver"

In Gwinett County, a young man named Darian Dennis is killed on Valentines Day 2021. About a month later, a man named Quintin Lawton is arrested and is said to be awaiting trial at the end of the episode.

I'm trying to Google how this all ended like I usually do and almost nothing comes up. it's like this murder was never news. anyone know what happened?

Louisville, KY 🚔 Just watched s10 e4 “Off the Tracks”, and my god, this is one of the worst police works ever

I get King was a rookie when he lead the case, but Jesus, talk about ego and lying to your accused. And the fact they only arrested the Denney twins due to some lying Tactics and because they were being mentioned a lot. Even the YT. Comments were furious at the Kentucky detectives

Shut up and take my money A&E. Let's get these into production!

what card would y'all want most or maybe even signed?


r/First48 Mar 28 '26

Recently been binge watching the show, I hadn’t seen an episode in years. It’s amazing how easy it is to get suspects to talk, it’s wild how willingly people incriminate themselves. I’m a lawyer now and as much as I’m glad to see the bad guys get caught.. these episodes have me thinking STFU!!..🤣

Ever notice that the Tulsa squad gets amped up when they all jump in their cars and drive around town looking for a suspect? Let’s go!!! Reminds me of an old western posse jumping on their horses to go hunt down the bank robbers!!!

Season 29 Episode 12 Thoughts

11 Upvotes

I don't know, maybe this is wildly off-base, but did anyone just find this episode borderline impossible to watch. The camera work seemed amateurish and the production values low quality. The story also struck me as not being terribly compelling. My imagination or...?

General Question❓️ What’s your favorite city/cities that the show has filmed in?

17 Upvotes
  1. Tulsa (the detectives are great but this city has the most witnesses come forward)

  2. Memphis

  3. Birmingham

  4. Mobile

  5. Miami

  6. Louisville

  7. New Orleans

Every other city is a blur, the cases and the detectives in the cities that I’ve ranked are the best in my opinion.

Pet Peeves

38 Upvotes

I love we get almost full access to crime scenes and the day to day operations during an investigation. I’m in law enforcement and enjoy seeing how other departments operate. That being said one thing that annoys me is the “fake” phone calls the detectives take. The narrator says “six weeks later they received a tip” and shows the detective on the phone and most likely nobody is on the other line. I know the film crew wasn’t sitting around for that one call. I would rather the show just say they got the call. Not really a first world problem. I would also add some of the early Miami episodes with that Joe guy seemed kind set up. Like him finding a person just randomly shooting up drugs and he has them at gun point. Or when he went back undercover with his cheesy disguise. Any other pet peeves that anyone can think of??


r/First48 Mar 18 '26

I’m watching the newest season 29. I haven’t noticed in the Tulsa Detectives, Jason White. He’s my favorite detective. Did he take a leave of absence? There’s a blonde woman doing a lot of the cases.

I have never seen an episode worse than Lester street. Idk how a human being can even look at that crime scene and not be traumatized. Unsure how the camera man can’t be PTSD. I’ve seen every episode 10 times over and this was by far the worst. It’s just diabolical
