Which case was the most disturbing?
I forgot the names, but I'd have to go with the one where the mother, father and son killed the son's girlfriend/ex-wife because the son's mother wanted custody of her grandson. She even acted like her grandson was her son.
Such a disturbing reason to kill someone.
And the case where the man nurse killed is politician wife.

Most of the Forensic Files were disturbing but just the other day I saw one called 'Home Evasion'. It's where a man hid in a woman's home and shot her because he wanted to go to prison as a murderer. You see, he was already headed there because he had sex with his 3 month old daughter. Yes, she was only 3 months old.
shareYes! I saw that episode. Pretty creepy.
That guy deserved a lot more than just going to prison for raping his 3 month old. Sick.

This show reminds me of cold case files. The most disturbing episode I saw was a woman with two daughters that she murdered. She had an older son that helped and a younger daughter that lived through it all and reported it to authorities when she was older. The first daughter she locked in a closet and starved her to death and the second she burned and dumped her body outside. With both girls they showed pictures of their bodies when they were found. I watched this in the summer of 2003 and it's forever burned into my mind. They had one picture of the mom that they kept showing over and over and it was scary. That episode to me was far more disturbing than any FF episode.
shareIt was called " mommy's rules " I just re watched it on YouTube and I dare anyone reading this to do the same.
shareI remember this case. I forgot the woman's name but it was profiled on Wicked Attraction and the episode was 'A Mother's Love'. This woman got away with killing her husband back in the 1960s. The jury fell for her act of innocence and abuse and she was acquitted of shooting him. She even taunted the prosecutor after the acquittal but I think he got the last laugh.
shareIt never mentioned anything about that.

Unreal. Just when I thought she couldn't be more evil. I wonder if she is dead.
shareTheresa Knorr, what a disturbing person she was, just recently passed in 9/2019 I believe
shareI don't remember the circumstances of the episode, but there was one I saw today where someone was bludgeoned to death -- or so the perpetrator thought. The man was still alive, but part his brain was damaged in a way that caused him to behave zombie-like; since his paleocortex was undamaged, the man walked outside to get the newspaper, despite his severe injuries. I think he also sat down at his kitchen table and might have had some juice before wandering to the stairs, where he finally collapsed and died from blood loss. That whole reenactment really stood out in my mind so much that I forgot all the other details of the episode.
shareI remember that episode. Chilling.
Turned out to be the son. I forgot his motive, though.

No doubt the case of Oba Chandler, the way h killed them, and if you read on wikipedia, the reason that the three went away on vacation in the first place was cause one of the girls were raped by her uncle.
Btw, did they start to air it again this year?
No, I've just been watching reruns on HLN.

One of the most disturbing episodes I've seen was The Wilson Murder (S01E08). If I remember correctly the husband was beaten with a baseball bat (or something similar) and both of his arms were broken defending himself. That in combination with the photos of him lying in a pool of his blood made my stomach turn. I'll never forget that one.
It is better to destroy than to create what is meaningless.
The one where the body of a young woman ( from the Phillippines, I think) was found in a drum hidden in a crawl space of a Long Island home 40 years after she had been murdered.
I think this horrifying story was featured on Dateline as well.
Also, Michelle Wallace's story/ murder was another memorable one that has stayed with me all these years. The Wallaces were a beautiful but tragic family. After Michelle's murder her mother committed suicide ans some years after that Mr. Wallace was beaten to death in his family home. My heart aches for what that family went through.
The one where the body of a young woman ( from the Phillippines, I think) was found in a drum hidden in a crawl space of a Long Island home 40 years after she had been murdered.
Her name was Reyna Marroquin. She was from El Salvador. She was murdered in 1969 and her remains were found in 1999 (thirty years later). The FF episode that highlighted the case was "A Voice From Beyond."
I think this horrifying story was featured on Dateline as well.
I couldn't find any record of it being on Dateline, but it was featured on the following shows in their respective episodes:
The New Detectives - "Broken Trust"
48 Hours - "The Clue in the Drum"
Cold Case Files - "The Barrel"
Murder Book - "Flower Drum Murder"
Needless to say, it was a tragic case, especially since her mother spent 30 years wondering what had become of her. Nevertheless, she lived long enough to learn the truth. She died a few months later and was buried next to Reyna in El Salvador.

Showing photos of the deceased..... I know it's not just Forensic Files, but other shows that do this. I find it very disturbing that they show actual photos of the deceased or even their body parts. Do the producers obtain some kind of legal right to do this, or is it public domain? Some notorious deaths are seen over and over in misc. documentaries. I'd hate to see a loved one's dead body on TV, and wouldn't want the whole world to see mine.
