Dateline, 48 hours, Forensic Files

Anyone ever watch these shows? My wife and I watch these sometimes. It's almost always the spouse/SO who does the killing.

And they usually make up some ridiculous story about a masked intruder. There's invariably a really poorly-faked 911 call. The body is almost always in the wrong position to support the story that the killer tells police.

I saw one the other night where a guy got in financial trouble, so he lured some helpless kid to his house, killed the poor guy, then set his truck on fire with the kid under there to make it look like HE was the one who burned up.

They never did nail the wife, but I'm pretty sure she was in on it. They also had a $5MM insurance policy.

If you're gonna kill someone, you need to get rid of the body.

[Oh Haha]

I don't watch but my wife does. I would prefer to see something a bit more positive.

I'm not knocking the shows as I have seen a couple over the years but they are all about the same.


My watches "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" too. I use those moments to make comments about the people on the show.


Oh, get rid of the freakin' body!!!! Duh.

I don't think this thread is getting to many replies because we already know we have to get rid of the body.

Forensic Files is soooo awesome. I can't get enough of it. Usually, it's easy to figure out the killer's stupid mistake. But some of them are just amazing detective work.
