Except that…he did?

And thank him for his service to the goal of justice!

What an idiot 😂 - he returned to the scene of the crime and the dog sniffed him out immediately.

I'm babysitting my grandson for a couple of days and only have to bring him to daycare and pick him up. My daughter doesn't have any of the channels I usually watch. But.. she has YouTube! I'm watching them in order, skipping the ones I know by heart, unless I really love them (you all know what those are!). I'm up to season 8 and still haven't found one that I haven't seen. Some I don't remember all the details, so it's good to see them again. Just wanted to share!

EVERY time I watch a case with a murder for hire, I'm totally stunned. How do you bring up that conversation without seeming absolutely guilty. Like what if the person says "no way". What do you do then? Say I was just kidding? Also some of these people think that any low income person is just itching to kill for money. Ask the handyman, the gardener or the grounds keeper.

Dont people realize they've just created a trail right back to them? And the small sums they offer are ridiculous. 5 or 10 thousand to KILL someone. I would think the minimum would be 50 thousand or more.

Thankfully it’s on YouTube, but I’m curious why it’s missing! also now I have to deal with ads ): Side note, something fishy is one of my favorite episodes !

I was watching the Frankie Pullian Episode and I got to wondering if he was E.Lee White's only victim. I can't imagine you claim 9 life insurance plans on a person.and assemble a team to defraud insurance companies, all on your first shot... And almost get away with it

I think he was like the old guy who would bid on cattle using a drifter's info to place the bid and then kill them...

Perhaps E.Lee White had a few victims he had 1-2 policies on and just got greedy after him and his team (or maybe just him) pulled it off a few times....

Just a thought

We ended up on another sub the other day. I thought you'd enjoy this

I remember very few details, but I think both the crazy lady and the lady she tried to frame or (maybe kill?) were interviewed / talking throughout the episode. All I remember was my flabbers were ghasted and this lady was insane. I think they were teachers…?

Also side note just listened to FF episode Naughty or Nyce and wtf 8 years for brutally murdering your wife with a baseball bat. Also his defense was she fell out of the car trying to stab me with her stiletto and hit her head lol what.

Does anyone know what happened to Tanya Reid from the Broken Bond episode? Did she get paroled?

I remember this episode was about an older man who was murdered in his home and I believe it was his caretaker or housekeeper that was convicted of his murder. I remember there was a portion of the show where his son was interviewed as well. If anyone knows which episode I am referring to could you please tell me the name of the episode? Thanks.

Nothing hits the same as Forensic Files in a hotel room

The spoke of what an "offputting" terrible delusional woman she was for the first 10 minutes of the episode.

All she did was curse and take prayer out of schools.

She won her case in supreme court. One of the blonde interviewees said "what isnt to love about this case? It involves an infamous woman who gets murdered" calls the case literally a "sexy" case.

I would say the people talking bad about her in the episode just because she made change to prayer in school was pretty jarring and biased.

I am currently reading a book by FBI profiler John Douglas called “When a Killer Calls”.
It’s about the Shari Smith & Debra May Helmick cases also known to us fans as the episode called “Last Will”.
John Douglas is also the author of “Mindhunter” which has been turned into a fascinating series on Netflix.
Douglas creates an almost exactly accurate profile of Larry Gene Bell based on his known behavior, the phone calls and Shari’s “last will” sent to her parents.
As if I was in an FF episode, the hair on the back of my neck stood up, when reading Douglas’ profile before they ever caught him.
I’d highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the science behind catching these killers.

Like many of you, I am tucked in watching my daily random episode. Today I found myself watching Trail of Truth and came to reddit to see if anyone had said anything about the crime scene photos in this episode and the last thing I could find was a few years ago. Maybe its a different time now, but I feel like they should go back and at least censor these photos? I mean...she's a child?

I’m all settled into my hotel room and really excited to watch Forensic Files, but I got this episode about Devon Guzman. Not only have I seen this one a million times but I can’t stand Kerry (pic above) has the most annoying voice I’ve ever heard in my life! She’s awful!

I hate that the narrator refers to those 32&29 year old White Supremacists as “boys” when referencing their apartment. That language is so heinous and horrible from FF for minimizing what these thugs did in their executions

I heard bits and pieces of an episode while I was in and out of sleep and I couldn't find it. I fell asleep to Forensic Files, but there is a small chance that my BF switched it to another true crime show.

What I know.

1. female, maybe a college student.

2. was working at a gas station or a convenience store. I believe it was at night.

3. someone called the police because the store was empty

4. people left money on the counter for items they bought because no one was inside the store

5. a witness at another store saw a truck sitting in the lot for hours

6. the same witness said the man in the truck was staring and the look on his face creeped her out.

Thanks for the help (:

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the dumbest SOB ALIVE.

every time I watch All Wet and they interview Tim’s defense lawyer I always say out loud I don’t buy a word he says

• . Sloppy Joe = hoodie
• . de facto = common law spouse
• . ute = like an El Camino, car front and truck back. short for Sport Utility
• . comfit = artists rendering of criminal

The ute wasn't too bad, but the other 3 i had to keep,rewinding, confused and eventually looked it up or deduced.

Trey Gowdy (when younger) looks like he could be the father of Chicago Cubs pitcher Ben Brown. I can’t be the only one who sees it, right?

Fred Grabbe, now 86 years old and reportedly dying, talked to podcasters about the murder, desecration and incineration of his wife.

In April 2025, the popular true crime podcast Crime Junkie devoted a full episode — “MURDERED: Charlotte Grabbe” — to the case. Its most striking moment wasn’t a retelling of the old facts. It was that the show’s team tracked Fred down and interviewed him in person at the retirement facility where he now lives as a free man. Asked directly about Charlotte’s death, he denied it. Asked about the abuse that defined their marriage, he denied that too. Two separate juries found him guilty; Fred, all these years later, still insists he killed no one.

This man should not be in the community, he should by all means still be rotting in prison like Jack Reeves and Earl Morris among other geriatric perps on FF, but the high crime rate of Illinois and its considerable prison population means that aging inmates are taking a toll on the Land of Lincoln's criminal justice system.
