The Matthew McConaughey segment was honestly one of the most disturbing re-enactments I've ever seen on this show. It was so believable. The way the mother was helplessly describing the horror as it was unfolding on the phone and watching as it got worse and worse but not able to do anything. Then the raw emotions and heartache was brilliantly acted. It really gave me the feeling one has when having a really realistic nightmare and the feeling of the point of no return. So sad and so scary that people like that exist and that such a thing could happen. It really is an advertisement for the 2nd amendment.

We all have a favorite segment, and mine might be the investigation into MLK's murder. A true tour de force by the UM team, that's as good a segment as you can get. I've watched it maybe a hundred times and I'm still hooked at every word said, I'm still scared as hell when they talk about the killer possibly hiding in the bushes, I still got chills when they show the police sketch of "Raoul" or "Harden"....this is Unsolved Mysteries at its very very best, and the segment I'd pick to show anyone how perfect UM was. Masterpiece.

[@rainer1980]

When they say that there's possibly a shooter in the bushes, but it's blamed on a shooter on the balcony, you can't help, but think there are parallels to the asassination of JFK. Perhaps it was all a CIA trick; they had ways of making accidents look like murders, and vice versa.

[@jonathanturbide2232]

@@rainer1980 Yep, very true. Both assassination were definitely planned second by second, with extreme minutiae and with the type of planning made only by professionals (whether they were trained inside the government or brought from another country). Some have speculated that both the JFK and MLK assassinations were designed like a military operation of some type, possibly with a "triangular" strategy of having 3 shooters located at specific spots, which opens up more speculations and theories as to who orchestrated the entire thing. I think both assassination were definitely orchestrated by the CIA and the military to some degree. No question.

benjamin woodruff, Texas is not nearly as tough on crime as they like to make out. Also, Southern states have FIVE TIMES the rate of violent crime as Northeastern States, yet by comparison they devote far fewer tax dollars per capita to their criminal justice system, including their prisons. Historically, this has led to massive overcrowding, forcing them to release inmates and those awaiting trial who would otherwise remain incarcerated. Meanwhile, Texas has executed a number of innocent individuals, including Cameron Todd Willingham: www.newyorker.com/magazine/2009/09/07/trial-by-fire.

Captured. Thanks to tips from two viewers, Bell was arrested in Panama City, Panama on February 14, 1993. At the time, he was prospecting for gold on land that he owned. According to one of the viewers, he had lived there for about ten years. He was extradited back to the United States to face first-degree murder charges. He was convicted and sentenced to seventy years in prison. He was eligible for parole in January 2013 but was denied. On April 20, 2019, he died in prison from undisclosed causes at age 82. Bell is currently considered a suspect in several murders in the 1970s, including those of Rhonda Johnson and Sharon Shaw. He has given multiple chilling confessions from prison, eventually claiming in 2011 that he was actually responsible for eleven murders, calling the victims were the "eleven that went to heaven." He claims a brainwashing "program" forced him to "be a flasher" to "rape girls" and ultimately to kill them. After his death, many of the victims' relatives stated that they believed he was responsible for their deaths. However, no charges were ever filed against him in those cases. Sadly, Dorothy passed away in 2012.

@vegetasolo951. THANK YOU for this update. You were very kind informing us about what happened with this killer. It is appreciated. 👍👍

[@zuzellogan5613]

@@TheDaveKrueger I don’t believe in this so-called “brainwashing program” that this killer said, made him do what he did. I believe he was born with a defective brain or had a “gene predisposition” to kill and kill, which can happens when the brain is not functioning at its 100% capacity for whatever physical reasons, when the baby is forming and developing inside a woman’s womb. That said, I do believe in a “brainwashing” or what I personally called it is “brain cleaning” where “special doctors” erase your memory completely where you don’t know who you are and neither know your name. and behave like a “new person.” I read this thoroughly BUT I will NOT mention the name of this reading or publication for obvious reasons; which was done to prisoners in Gitmo, the Guantanamo Base prison, in Cuba. I will not say anymore. I had said enough. 😊

Bell is currently considered a suspect in several murders in the 1970s, including those of Rhonda Johnson and Sharon Shaw. Michael Lloyd Self was convicted of those murders and sentenced to life. It appears he spent the rest of his life behind bars for 2 murders he did not commit. He died in prison in 2000 maintaining his innocence. Bell has given multiple chilling confessions from prison, eventually claiming in 2011 that he was actually responsible for eleven murders, calling the victims were the "eleven that went to heaven."

[@BinaryStarofShaolin]

It makes absolutely no sense for Ray to leave his personal effects behind. The gun is incriminating, sure, drop that if you absolutely have to. His overnight bag? I don't think so. The only reason that stuff gets left there is to set him up. Oswald (assuming he did it alone) left his gun behind at the Depository because it was a public place and he just had to get out of there as soon as possible. Why doesn't Ray leave the gun in the bathroom? He would end up being just as much of a suspect as anyone else in the building. Besides, he's not planning to stick around according to the official story. Objective #1 should be getting out there ASAP and not carrying around the murder weapon!

[@thomasharrison3126]

True; had the FBI conducted an investigation into the possibility of a conspiracy, I'm sure we would know the True facts today, but remember, in 1968, I doubt seriously that federal authorities Wanted a lengthy investigation, as J. Edgar Hoover hated Dr. King, so they conducted a " find the shooter" investigation & it Stopped the minute Ray was in custody.
