The Messenger imo is a very dubious source for information. The reporter is constantly quoting “anonymous sources.” He seems to have a small group of online followers which he is always boosting their hopes with broken promises that the case will soon be solved.

Hi, Are there any Dateline fans out there who can help me find an episode I fell asleep watching. I don’t remember the name but I can provide the story for the most part. A husband wife couple married 30 years with a perfect marriage and a big close family. One son was a firefighter that lived...

I signed the petition and even sent an email to the police chief who never responded. I can’t believe they haven’t solved the case considering there haD to be an extensive crime and a lot of forensic evidence. Even when the crime occurred years ago, cameras were common. Surely someone’s camera...

I was surprised to see there’s no special forum for this case, at least none I could find. I saw it on Dateline and became fascinated. There’s lots of information to be found on YouTube. The dad is still extremely involved in solving the case after 10 years and with the extensive crime scene...

There's a mountain of evidence that MacDonald committed these murders and that’s why despite endless trials, hearings, witness testimony, and countless reviews he's still in jail. He most likely will die in jail. The problem becomes that the average lay person believes that police and the legal...

I think they thought they could outsmart the police. They wanted to gain sympathy. The plan was to stage an abduction. If the child were found a murder was staged. If the child was not found. They were going to dispose of the body later after the police left.

I agree. It was brought to his attention about the miniseries and that the evidence would point a finger directly at Burke. This was the family's pre-emptive strike at damage control. They used Dr Phil's show because Dr Phil is a former client of Lin Wood. Dr Phil hired Lin Wood to make the...

Lin "Luficer" Wood is a defense attorney cut from the same cloth as Johnny Cochran. Sometimes referred to as "the lawyer for the damned"; Lin Lucifer Wood would have no problem with Hitler as a client so long as the money was right. Mr. Wood will no doubt suffer the same fate as Johnny...

I feel a sense of anger, vindication, and joy at once. After years of hearing bogus explanations and outright lies by crackpot crime fans, IDI's, John Ramsey, the Boulder Colorado DA's office I feel like this evidence is about as "in your face" as it gets. Oh sure, Lin Wood and some other self...

This is the frustrating thing about cases like this. Police have one shot at the Bennin this is the frustrating thing about cases like this. Police have one shot at the beginning so they need to separate the parties in the house and pin them down to a set of facts and then use those facts...

First I loved the long list of common sense circumstantial evidence you (M74) provided that clearly ties Patsy to the note. I don't agree that there can never be an arrest or conviction in this case. Unlike the OJ Simpson case where Simpson has already been tried; that's not the situation with...

Don't understand why you would reach for a scenario where PR would instantly suspect her son as the murderer of her daughter and then write a ransom note to cover for him? I suppose that a defense attorney might come up with any far-fetched defense story he could dream up but it would be up to...

I think these marks were debunked as being made by a taser devise. There were tests conducted on pigs to de-bunk this theory. Lou Smit was no doubt an outstanding detective in his day, but I would bet he never carried a taser and didn't know much about them. It's only fairly recently that...
