I think most of us know the story here.

Texasl sure didn't care much for those heathen atheists back when they were murdered.

The response of law enforcement was less than impressive, but the facts eventually came out after a few years.

Imagine if that family had been evangelical Christians, it would have been national news for months after they disappeared.

Or that I have never heard of the ID Channel. Oh well.

I also have seen something years ago about the murders, and it still galls me that no one cared that people were murdered. Because of religion. In this country.

Since that franchise often (always?) based its stories on real cases. Now that you've mentioned it, that episode sounds interesting and I'll have to look it up.

For a while, ID Channel ran a series called Sinister Ministers: Collared. A true-crime show about misbehaving clergy. I think it got dropped after one season. Rats!

Then there's Deadly Devotion, the ID Channel show about cults etc. IIRC, its very first episode was about a woman who escaped from $cientology after many years. It even went into the "Xenu" stuff.

I'm addicted to the ID Channel, as confessed in here before. It just amazes me. I sit there watching and thinking: "You really expected to get away with that?"

One of the weirdest was the nurse who lived very near to the hospital where she worked. After drugging her disabled hubby in the morning, she ran home during a break and set a fire in his bedroom. Ran back to work and acted surprised when the fire trucks headed for her neighborhood. None of her co-workers saw her leave, so at first she had a great alibi.

Unfortunately, she forgot about the security cameras in the lobby that saw her leaving. And the cameras in the parking lot that caught her getting in her car and heading home, then coming back a few minutes later.

So it's usually grouped with them, or somewhere around them. If that helps any.

I'm on Time-Warner in Los Angeles and Discovery/ID seems to be part of their basic cable package. My mother has Direct TV back on the East Coast, and I'm pretty sure it's part of her basic package too.

I also really like "Snapped" and "Killer Couples" on the Oxygen channel. And Lifetime movies, if they're about true crime stuff like Scott Peterson or Jodi Arias. Yes, I am a traitor to my gender...

Didn't try any but it's there for those interested.

Not very complimentary as to her character, "she cursed a lot"

But the basics of the whole story are here.
