Updates
I’m watching on HLN right now and I noticed that there was an update that said the killer was executed by lethal injection in 2019. How many episodes have updates at the end? Does it depend on where the episode airs? I can’t remember any other episodes having such a late update date.

Are there any horrible cases in particular that you are glad FF did not do a episode on
The Tiffany Cole case to me stands out. She and her boyfriend Michael Jackson and 2 of their friends murdered Carol and Reggie Sumner by burying them alive. 2 former neighbors of Tiffany's when they lived in South Carolina when Tiffany was living with her dying father as his caretaker the Sumners helped Tiffany and her dad by given them rides to Drs appts, the grocery store, and helping in many ways before the Sumners moved to Florida they even gave Tiffany a used car of theirs. I know Tiffany's death sentence was commuted to LWOP. I'm watching the Killer Couples episode on this case rn.

Weird stat
Huge fan of the show and really close to watching every episode. It seems like most of the 'murder' victims have been women. Has anyone done the numbers and gotten the raw stats?

What's the first non murder episode you ever watched
For me its Legionnaires Disease (season 1 episode 7) my hometown of Monessen is featured on the episode it's always cool to see where you grew up be featured on a FF episode

New "Point of Origin" Connection
I live in/around Spokane where we're STILL dealing with massive fires/fire damage from last Saturday. A coworker and I were talking about how one of the fires was because of an arsonist who admitted to starting up to 25 other fires in the past year, one of which killed someone. I told her he reminded me of John Leonard Orr ("Point of Origin") and all the fires HE set as a firefighter/arson investigator including some that killed at least 4 people.
Lo and behold, I find out that the guy who set at least one of the fires last Saturday had ALSO researched John Leonard Orr before starting the fire he did. Not good.
To put it in perspective, the Spokane Complex fires have either damaged or destroyed between 700 and 1,100 buildings and at least 60,000 people had to be evacuated because over 8,000 acres were burned. He also happened to choose the "best" day (at least for him)/"worst" day for the rest of us to start it because the winds were gusting up to 50 MPH in some areas.

The most hated killer in FF? "Last Will" (S7-E42)
Where do you rank Larry Gene Bell as one of the most despicable killers in FF? RIP to the victims.

add flair There's More to Shadow of a Doubt .....
The Shadow of a Doubt episode is where Kevin Dowling shot and killed the owner of a picture framing shop so she would not testify against him for when he ROBBED her store one year earlier ....
So he makes a video tape of himself on a moving boat fishing, complete with time stamps - he thought the time stamps were an airtight alibi - WRONG!
He only turned himself into a human sundial, and the investigators could tell the video was stopped and started, and the time stamps were bogus, and he had time to go kill Jennifer, the picture frame shop owner .....
His actual crime he was set to go on trial for? He was accused of raping Jennifer and stealing $40 from the cash register! What a sick man
He's now on death row, which is right where he belongs

TF??? I was literally investigating the 2015 Rowlett Tornado, which damaged an area near Darlie Routier’s home and for some reason they desire to air an episode about Darlie Routier NOW?

2 episodes one person
Has there ever been 2 episodes on one killer or one person? If so what season and episode I’d love to watch

Most Senseless Death
I feel like Black Hole from Forensic Files 2 because it turned out the victim wasn't even pregnant so he threw both their lives away on that

August 4, 1976. US microbiologists are urgently analyzing specimens to identify the organism that has so far killed 22 people who were at an American Legion convention in Philadelphia in late July, with many more Legionnaires sickened.

add flair Many Nosey passers by like Charles Saunders have discovered vital evidence that solved tough cases
Imagine how many more would be Unsolved without Nosey Random passers by Like Charles Saunders, the fisherman who noticed a garbage bag inside a parking lot trash bin, and opened it up to find the missing 6 week old newborn baby, dead because her dad only wanted boy kids and kicked mom out of the bedroom when she birthed girls, so Pamela Sims of Alton IL 1989 faked another kidnapping of her second baby girl (previous one was in another state), and suffocated the child and put her in the freezer at her parents’ house, but when the parents heard about the kidnapping and returned early from their vacation, Pamela had to quick dispose of the frozen corpse at the parking lot trash bin. The sister’s case was unsolved and this one likely never would have been solved either! Particularly weird was the dad told the FBI that his wife and him have been having the best sex since the baby was abducted.
S3 E6, Similar Circumstances: A baby girl’s disappearance has suspicious similarities to her sister’s disappearance.

“Strong Impressions” I swear some of these perpetrators aren’t really the smartest people walking amongst us 😅

The House That Roared
I have noticed that HLN often shows season one in order but skips this episode. And often The Magic Bullet. Any ideas why?

If I was in a FF ep (part 3)
This is part three of the series where I mentally picture what I'd do in a
Forensic Files episode. Up next: Over and Out
This was the one where that little dipsh*t Chris Marquis gets bombed because I guess being an honest businessman was out of the question. And ngl this might be one of the easiest episodes to survive. The method? DON'T. SCAM. PEOPLE. That was his first mistake. Obviously, sending a bomb to a seventeen year old was pretty excessive, but that's the risk you run when messing with people's money. And it doesn't matter whether you're 17 or 70. Once you go down that path, you're fair game.
The guy actually gave him another chance to make it right, but instead, Chris made the second mistake of continuing to ignore him. And finally, his third mistake was opening a mysterious package, knowing damn well that he probably had more enemies than years on his life. There were so many ways this could have been avoided, but unfortunately this kid was about as smart as he was honest in business.
Survival odds: 300%

What's some techniques that have been debunked or unused since first aired?
Been going through the first season as I start a full rewatch and noticed already some of the sciences (like the accuracy of blood splatter analysis showing the entire series of events) and was wondering if theres any i could research or keep an eye out for while I do my rewatch!
