It Returns Two Weeks From Tuesday, On November 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                         The Crown Jewel of Investigation Discovery's program roster is returning soon. I am talking about the Emmy winning "A Crime To Remember," that recreates, in period detail, famous crime cases, many of which I am familiar with, but some I learn about.

                          This will be Season Three. It always starts with a kicker. The first season opened with that cheap cocktail waitress, Alice Crimmins.  Who could forget that?   Last season's opener was the famed Kitty Genovese Case, and, while I knew most of the details, it was stunning to watch it unfold.

                            I have been told--but could be wrong--that the season opener will be "The Gaffney Strangler," a serial killer from South Carolina, who preyed upon young girls in 1967 and 1968. It will be new to me, so something to look forward learning about.

                             But the ads hype three very well known cases, ones which I know very well, so I want to see and hear how they are depicted.

                              The first is "The Sam Sheppard Murder Case," where a prominent doctor's wife was mysteriously murdered.  I believe this happened in the year of my birth, 1954.  This became the basis for the David Jansen series, "The Fugitive," in the Sixties, and, to this day, people debate about who was responsible.

                                Then there is what is called "The Nurse Murders."  This has to be the Richard Speck case, where eight student nurses were tortured and murdered in Chicago. This should be a gem.

                                   Lastly, there is "The Roseann Quinn Murder," where a teacher of deaf children, who hailed from Jersey, but was living on Manhattan's swinging singles Upper West Side, was murdered in her 72nd Street apartment on New Year's Day, 1973.  If this sounds familiar, darlings, it is what became the basis for Judith Rossner's iconic novel, "Looking For Mr. Goodbar," which still holds up on a reading, today.  I cannot wait for this one.  One of these three is what they should lead with.

                                      That makes four cases.  There are usually six to a season, so that leaves two more.  Wonder what they will be??????.  You know I will be tuning in to find out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                         How about something from way in the past???????????
