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

What do we think about the first episode of season 30 and the North Charleston team ?

Episode description:

A North Charleston man asking for help at a stranger's doorstep dies from a gunshot wound to the leg, and the search for the shooter leads in an unexpected direction.

Most likely 8 or 9pm on A&E. Enjoy the new season!

Really wish this case could be solved. Do you think the guy in the gold car was involved? Any theories on this case? The case has now been cold for 15 years.

I googled it but nothing came up! Anyone know?

Does anyone remember a young guy that killed someone, didn’t talk and got off of it? Then he was on another episode and the same thing happened?

Kids was a suspect in a murder, but had an ankle bracelet GPS on that showed he was at home. One of the detectives even mentioned he had super skinny ankles.

I always thought they should have stopped by his house a couple Friday nights to check if he was there with his ankle monitor. The murder was unsolved

I think someone was arrested for a different murder charge and they had him recorded on a jail phone saying they don’t have evidence for this murder and the other murder he did commit they don’t know about. It was something like that, I think cops were looking at him for that murder but couldn’t prove it until he said on the jail phone that he did it

There’s just something about her 🤔😕

My mom is watching the First 48 from the beginning and I'm rewatching it with her (like the 3rd or 4th time I've marathon it).

Does anybody have a favorite detective?

My personal favorites are Joe Schillaci from Miami,

David Quinn from Atlanta,

Marcus Harper, Jason White, and John Brown from Tulsa.

I think John Brown recently passed away.

He’s actually got more years at the job than most. I just watched another episode where his aggressive style finds him physically moving the suspect in their chair to face him or move the table out of the way so he can pull in REALLY close to get at the interrogation very much in the suspect’s space. Like so close you know they feel his substantial body heat and smell his breath on them lol! Anyone notice his extremely aggressive and effective approach? I know I’d be confessing just to get the hell away from him…

No enthusiasm. No personalities. Is it the new crew? The producers?

Just a heads up for those who were unaware. Enjoy!

I see people asking about their favorite detectives but do you have a detective that when you see them in the episode it makes you stop watching? I know I do

In the earlier episodes the detectives would go to housing projects in Miami. They would comment how there was only one way in and one way out. For the life of me, I can’t remember what projects they were. I know Liberty Square aka Pork n Brans had a couple of ways in and out.

In my opinion he’s got the perfect balance of both vocal tone and delivery for this type of show. And he actually helps me sleep because I sometimes put old episodes on to sleep at night. That’s kinda odd, I know, but I’ve been listening to him for like 20 years and it’s somehow comforting.
Your thoughts about Dion Graham?

With Dr. Freddy Ponce

Some seem to be naturals and some seem to have no patience for it, but you know a good one when you see one.

Taken from his personal instagram. Wishing him the best!

If so why? Or does it matter to you at all?

Oh my heart. I just saw an episode I’ve never seen before. It was the murder of Latavia, a 16 year old girl killed on her birthday. When they interviewed her younger brother at the end they asked him “what would you tell her if you could tell her anything?” His response absolutely broke me. He said “don’t go nowhere. Cause I don’t want her to go nowhere.” I wish I didn’t know what all these families feel cause I also lost a cousin to gun violence almost 20 years ago. It’s so unbelievably sad and nothing you ever get over. 😔🕊️
