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.

This is a subjective thing. One show may affect someone in a different way although they all can be horrific. One for me was when a mom was killed in the middle of the night or early morning, and the young daughter was attacked but escaped and ran to the neighbors house. The neighboring mom made the beaten and bloody girl wait for awhile on the front porch before letting her inside. Bc it turned out it was her husband who had done it. But it took years to find this out. If I remember right someone else even went to jail first? I could be mixing them up though. I have been binge watching these and some shows on ID so I could confuse some together. But I remember thinking making a little girl who was beaten and bloody and her mom had just been killed was horrific. Later I knew why. For whatever reason that one sticks out to me.

The murder victim in question was the girl's grandmother, Judith Johnson. Her son-in-law, Clarence Elkins, was wrongfully convicted and imprisoned before he was exonerated through DNA. The name of the episode is "All Butt Certain."
Also, when you thought the victim was the girl's mother, I suspected that you were thinking of at least two episodes at the same time - "All Butt Certain" and "Shoe-In For Murder." The latter is about the 1994 stabbing death of a Maine woman named Crystal Perry, whose then-12-year-old daughter ran out of the house to call for help.
Yes you are correct. I was trying to describe Shoe In For Murder but added on parts of All Butt Certain for some reason. Just as in All Butt Certain, eyewitness testimony was not the most accurate lol. Thank you for clarifying. Something was telling me I was off when I was typing but I couldn't remember exactly bc I have binge watched lately so many.

You're welcome. And thank you for confirming my suspicion. When you watch "Shoo In For Murder" and "All Butt Certain," it's hard to overlook the similarities between the 1994 murder of Crystal Perry and 1998 murder of Judy Johnson.
Similarities include:
- both murders occurred during the 1990s
- both murders were committed at night
- a girl was present at the time of each murder
- each girl left the house to get help
- both cases took years to solve
One of the differences is that one girl caught a killer in the act and the other didn't. Crystal Perry's daughter heard Crystal's murder, and by the time she saw the aftermath, the killer was gone.
Thank you for the information! It's also nice to make a mistake and not be called an idiot on here and corrected in an informed and polite way. Your knowledge is impressive on here! I'm glad I mixed up 2 episodes that were similar rather than 2 that had nothing in common lol. Maybe I'm not too old yet😂. I watched again last night 2-3 and fell asleep watching them. I remember the very first FF I ever watched that got me hooked, and it was shown last night. The one where the husband, an ex marine, went out for hamburgers late at night, and someone broke in and beat his wife with a board and raped her. But she identified her husband as the culprit and he went to jail. Later the real guilty person confessed and through DNA evidence the husband was set free after 16 years in prison. she had brain damage and only saw an outline of the guy in a doorway and assumed it was her husband. It got me interested in the show and seeing how many on the show were put behind bars that did Not commit the crime. I forget the name of the episode. It wasn't the episode that was the most disturbing but it was the one that got me hooked!
shareI'm not sure if the episode is called "The bedroom basher" but that's what the perpetrator was known as after a spate of attacks occurred in women's bedrooms.

It isn't. The episode title is "Memories."

I'll always be disturbed by the very first episode I saw, the one about Helle Crafts. That wood chipper. Brrr!
