Entertainment & Music Cold Cases

I watched it yesterday, I guess no one has foxtell? shame .....LOL

 

A fox channel documentary is hardly the epitome of unbiased investigative journalism and objective presentation of the evidence and facts

 

Not cold case so much, but I'm obsessed with serial killers and murderers in general.

I just find them fascinating. I think I would've loved to be a criminal psychologist, to research why someone does something.

I spend a decent amount of time watching documentaries on cold cases or real crime shows, plus Wikipedia etc. I'm weird.

 

So you must be a whiz at Spicks & Specs on ABC - Serial Murderer or Muso?

 

Great, what are your favourite shows?

Have you watched On The Case, this is brilliant

On the Case with Paula Zahn - Wikipedia

 

you realise I am talking foxtel and there are perhaps 20 programmes on criminology and documented cases such as the Iceman (book on this documented by the leading US criminal psychiatrist), very interesting case, and various other serial killers. So are you saying forensic psychologists, doctors, DNA are not real or important. If interested you probably need to educate yourself on this stuff....LOL

 

@Scott No Mates & @MTR

I don't watch ABC and don't have Foxtel. We did have Foxtel and basically sat on there watching the crime channel, but haven't had it in a few years. I did win a serial killer or celebrity game at a trivia night though, does that count?

I watch a lot of Netflix documentaries, and things I find on Youtube etc. Don't watch a whole lot of actual TV anymore though. We have a Chromecast and it's the best $50 I ever spent, but means I'm not typically tuning into a certain show. James hates the documentaries, so I have to have headphones in - he also doesn't like half of my music or horror films though

 

LOL, my husband hates these docos as well...

 

For those interested in this subject, I highly recommend this book, Lil you will love it. I watched interview on Foxtel, it was a chilling interview with a psychopath, this was while he was in prison. I believe he killed over 200 people, he was a hit man for the mafia.

Called Ice Man because he killed refrigerated his victims so authorities had no real way of knowing when the person was murdered etc.

The Ice Man

 

Spicks & Specks is light entertainment not a documentary.

 

but I don't like spicks and specks

 

This was another brilliant cold case on Foxtel which was solved after 45 years. The killer basically living a normal/average life, family, grandchildren until he was caught. Lots of twists and turns with this one.

After 45 Years, an Arrest In the Killing of 2 Officers

 

It could have been a telemovie set in the 1960's and renamed Spiks & Speck - a tale of two delis.

 

I've read/heard quite a bit about the Ice Man, will have to invest in the book.

The blurb on the link is actually quite interesting, and haunting. As someone that had quite severe PND I can actually understand this part -

"He loved Barbara too much.

He loved the children too much.

That was the problem. The only way he could deal with their loss, if he inadvertently killed Barbara, was to kill them."

At the time it made perfect sense, I know it's completely nutty, but I get it. Is that the way these people live on a daily basis? It's just... fascinating. I think everyone reading this is going to think I'm a bit loopy, I assure you I'm only mildly loopy nowadays.

 

LOL
we must be loopy, we seem to be the only ones who gets this stuff and addicted to it, I am anyway.

I can't work out if you're taking the **** or genuinely an incredible mix of ignorant and arrogant.

There are important factors/evidence outlined in the documentary that have not been included in the link, hence why I referred to the doco. One was a train ticket, which will mean nothing to you.

As I mentioned many times after watching the interview/doco I am not convinced he is innocent even though it was overturned, does not necessarily mean they got it right.

I am entitled to my own opinion without being crucified and the name calling, chill out.

Everyone was convinced Lindy Chamberlain killed her baby and not a dingo - media, public, documentaries, prosecutors. And we all know how that turned out.
