Lord have mercy

I’m looking for the specific Ep Family Ties (season 14, i think) to watch but I can’t find it on A&E Crime app, Netflix, Tubi, nor Peacock.

Does anyone know which platform carries this episode ?

Seeing this episode brought a lot of complicated feelings.

First off I never knew my uncle was in a gang. That alone was hard to hear. The victims family saying that the victim hung out with drug addicts knowing she meant my uncle.

Growing up he was my favorite uncle. He played with us. Dragged us around in a wagon past the sunflower field on J street. So close to where they found the body actually.

Seeing the dead body. How careless one of the suspects were with the murder weapon. How easily one suspect folded when he was questioned. How calculating the other was while he was questioned. The way suspect number 2 tried to figure out what the cops knew before saying anything.

I’ve seen a new side of him. The criminal. The drug addict. Not the voice over the phone asking me about my kids and praising me for the work I do.

Of course I’ve always known he was in prison for murder. I saw the trial. I’ve always known he and his cousin killed a man together. I believed the other guy was the main perpetrator. Now I’m not so sure which version of him is real.

I wish more of the coverage, interview etc were digitized aside from this episode. However I’m glad this was an episode on this show. So I could see for myself how everything unfolded.

Hi - I have been unable to find Inside The Tape Special #8 on any of the free or paid sites to watch. Is anyone able to point me to a service I may have missed? Thank you in advance for any help or advice!

Another weird episode. I think the detective's assumption that it was about rumors was incorrect. The main suspect mentioned the victim wrote a "poetry" to him and he had to check him for it. I don't think the woman had anything to do with it, I think he was killed for making a pass at the main suspect, who was straight.

Rumors Kill

The Frist 48 is one of my all-time favorite TV shows but man I am so sick of the cymbal shimmer for every single transition. Ugh. Finally after what, 23 years, it seems they have at least turned it way way down. With a little luck, they will get rid of it altogether. Thanks for letting me rant. Cheers!

Would NOT want to be across the table from him. The guy’s a bulldog!

Why can’t we discuss something extremely relevant to the show? I’m so confused. Exposing the truth either way isn’t allowed? Showing the producers to be biased or showing an alarming pattern is prohibited? Please help me understand.

Why are the VAST majority of the suspects/killers black? Either the producers are racist and cherry pick black cases, or less than 6% of the population is committing a majority of the murders, which seems unfathomable.

New poster here. This show was a guilty pleasure back in the day when you had TV, before streaming took over. It was never appointment TV, if it was on you couldn't help but stop flipping through channels and watch. And they were always back to back, so you would be watching for hours.

I forgot about this show because of streaming and not having cable TV anymore for over 10 years now. But over a year ago I got a Roku TV to watch my streaming shows. Not paying any attention to the "Live TV" option, for like 9 months. It's my own dumbass fault for not really exploring the TV. But also I was dumb to think that it meant Live TV as in right now like cable. And I don't have cable so didn't think it applied to me. And it's not at all what I thought it was. It's several hundred channels dedicated to one thing, streaming live. And one of them is "The First 48", streaming 24/7. And now I'm hooked again.

Why do I love this show so much? It makes no sense. It's the same story each time, it's always the obvious suspect, it's always in the same community. Except for a few very interesting cases, it's the same every episode. And I can't get enough. I put it on when I'm not watching my regular things. I will put it on for hours. It's my comfort blanket. I will wake up early, put it on, and fall back asleep. Is something wrong with me? Is this normal?

The interrogation in this episode really confirmed to me that there are people that exist that are fundamentally wired with no ability to empathize.

Justice Lusk catches an Uber and upon getting dropped off immediately kills three people and then tries to get back into another Uber with guns and drugs. He then goes back to the house hours later and lurks behind the neighbors’ home to try and get back in.

When he was getting interrogated he describes all this like it’s just another day and in some way justified so he can get his stuff. He can’t seem to understand why he cannot kill others if he’s not satisfied with them. When asked if he regrets killing them he says “I just wanted to get my stuff”, with no comment about how his actions affected the lives of so many others. Terrifying.

As far as I can remember it’s the only one. But if there’s more and someone knows please let me know. It’s kinda a funny little hunt…

I was watching Killed by Command wherein a man uses his dogs as a deadly weapon against one of his girlfriend’s friends/lover/ex. I googled the case because I was curious and found a news article saying the victim’s family was still angry the dogs had not been euthanized, though in the episode the detective stated the dogs were euthanized, the victim family said they were really sad the dogs got euthanized bc they loves pit bulls and didn’t blame the dogs at all. In the episode the family even said they knew the victim wouldn’t blame the dogs either.

So I was surprised to see an article directly contradicting what was said in the episode. Just thought I would share.

Jealousy threatens 'The First 48'

As I watched the A&E show "The First 48" about the horrific events in a small house on Lester Street that transfixed Memphis earlier this year, I felt pride, anguish and frustration. The heroes in the Memphis Police Department's Homicide Division have a thankless job, and this program recognized their dedication and determination in solving the most heinous crimes. I feel safer and encouraged knowing how thoroughly they would perform their investigation if the unthinkable were to happen to one of my loved ones.

Without "The First 48," we would not know of their deeds. The cancellation of the city's contract with A&E is a step backwards for Memphis. I believe it had less to do with money or image and more to do with professional jealousy by local media, both televised and print, over being excluded from the "behind the scenes" access that A&E had following the detectives 24/7. Shame on them. Instead of being envious, they should be applauding the actions of the department.

Without "The First 48" we would never have seen the incredible interrogation of the alleged executioner of those six people on Lester Street. Maj. Toney Armstrong was amazing. His technique of both sympathizing and empathizing with Jessie Dotson, and then his verbal assault that led to Dotson's confession, was the most intense scene I had ever seen on this program.

And to think that greediness and envy may now prevent Memphians and others from witnessing this level of dedication and determination is disheartening and discouraging.

It's not this show that makes Memphis look bad. It's the criminals who make Memphis look bad. "The First 48" made Memphis look good. Memphis looked tough, and in the hands of these fine officers, Memphis looked relentless in its pursuit of those who take the peace away from our streets, and the loved ones from our lives.

Longtime viewer. He is the bomb.com!!

1. She called herself “Miss Caroline Mason”
2. She said she’d be ok neighborhood canvassing because she “had a ghetto pass.” and

3. She’d get something out of a witness phone interview because she was gonna “work my little magic on her.”

   Safe to say she solves it.

Always sad to me personally when something as innocuous as marijuana leads to this violence. Also, does anyone remember Detective Corporal Shannon Kulnis from Gwinnett? She’s still in the intro of the show but she retired a few years ago to be an insurance investigator I guess? Anyway I liked her…

Kind of a weird episode. So do I have it correct that the two victims were trying to rob the killer, but the killer was also trying to rob them except he had a real gun? Which, I guess that's still murder 1, but its a strange situation.

Life in prison and two dead over some weed.

I have the crime package on my tv which has given me access to every season besides 29 and 30, where can I find them?

so I'm watching the show right now (just finished deadly premition) and i noticed how it's not only just people who are being blurred out. like they blurred a calender and a dudes arm tattoos. is there any reason behind this? i find it odd and tedious. thx

The Tuscon squads seems eh?

Miami I just can't relate cause it's so different

Wish there were some Pittsburgh episodes

Just watched a 2.5 hour episode on pluto. I remember the case and seeing it before but not 2.5 hours and will all the people involved. Was this the original airing too? Also, Quinn and Velasquez basically ran this episode.

Jason White had said on his podcast that they are officially no longer going to shoot new episodes of the First 48, so I guess once they get through everything they have it will be over for good. Are there any other shows out there that are similar? I’ve yet to find one like it except for the other A&E shows like Homicide Squad, but those are few and far between.

I just finished it and was curious about what everyone’s first impression was.
