BBC Radio Scotland is broadcasting a four part documentary called "A History Of Murder In Scotland", hosted by Billy Kay

The first episode aired on March 4

I agree with your wife Magpie - it was well made and, although I realize they only had an hour, did leave things out like Isador Fisch and J.J. Faulkner so they could include new "revelations". For once, I do agree with John Douglas on a case.

There was recently a program about the Lindbergh Case on PBS. Hopefully it will be rebroadcast soon.

My wife saw it (I was working). She said it was quite well made, but she didn't feel it had presented much information one way or t'other.

The Highway of Tears Case(s) was covered on 48 Hours Mystery last night. Hopefully they will rerun it and I can give a more timely notice.

Highway of Tears is sort of like Boston Strangler. Is it one serial killer, more than one serial killer, a serial and a bunch of single murders, serial killers with single murders or just a cluster of single murders?

I'm not on satellite or cable anymore so my exposure to true-crime shows is much reduced but my wallet is much fatter.

At least we'll always have the Elizabeth Montgomery one.

I see that IMDb now has a (????) date on the Lizzie Borden miniseries. Now I'm wondering if will ever happen.

The final episode of Last Witness ran last night, at least this season. It was a bit gimmicky but well shot and presented so I would give it a marginal thumbs up. I wish they could have figured out a way to work in some unsolved cases.

An ABC true-crime series entitled Final Witness is set to debut on Wednesday June 27. It is scheduled to play in the last hour of prime time.

The first episode is about a recent family mass murder that has been solved. I hope they will do some older and unsolved cases but I don't have any information in that regard.

I missed the show last Wednesday, was it any good?
