No way r7. And the lake had no current, if she'd gone in she would've been floating close by.
Women who suicide almost always favor pills, it's very unusual for a woman to kill herself through methods that would be painful/violent like drowning, hanging or gunshot. That's what suicidal men do.

R8, the cop with the moustache on the stand was clearly lying. His body language indicates that not even he believes that woman entered a shallow lake and floated down 35 miles downstream to that Canadian island. It's more likely that that Tim Matouk relative was a dirty cop and they're just covering up for him.

They left out the fact that Christopher Dansby and Shane Walker were seen playing with the same children right before they disappeared. I think the kids were paid to lure the toddlers. It was probably a pedo who had a fetish for black male children.

R32, the guy was a good man in some respects, but he was also a creep.
He relentlessly harassed the people who were building a home across the street. He likely set off the smoke bombs in the home that was being built, which is why is cell phone was inexplicably found there during an investigation that was set off BEFORE he disappeared. He very likely destroyed his living room in a rage when he realized he left his phone there, or he staged a break-in, in order to explain why his phone was “missing”. Then he emailed his boss or security team, likely both, saying he had his phone and briefcase stolen. This all probably triggered a manic episode.
Now admittedly, I don’t know how he ended up beaten and dead with his Rolex and West Point ring on, but I believe he was deceptive, and his family understands that.

There's absolutely no way that someone among Lester Eubanks' family doesn't know where he currently is. I'm reminded of a couple of fugitives, featured separately in classic UM's early seasons, who had been hidden away by their wives while on the run until their deaths. In both cases the wives buried the fugitives' bodies in their backyards, while the authorities continued looking for them. One of them was on the FBI's 10 most wanted list for over a quarter century (and he was dead for more than 10 years when they finally took him off).
Pretty cool of UM to reference America's Most Wanted in the Eubanks episode. Classic UM would *never* do that, since it was a rival show on a rival network.
The only way the JoAnn Romain suicide theory pans out is if she entered the water near her church, and based on where her body was found, it's pretty clear that wasn't the case.
The NYC missing toddler case referenced both Carlina White and Christopher Abeyta - both were in a roll call of missing babies in a Season 1 episode of classic UM. Unfortunately, I just read that both of Christopher's parents have passed away.

I can't endorse this reboot. I was a big fan of the original but these episodes are soooo dragged out. They really cry out for a narrator to move the story along. Some of the episodes could really be just as good as a 15 minute segment on the original series rather than 50 minutes.

I think Wheeler had early dementia as well as bipolar disorder. I think he received a concussion of some sort setting off the smoke bombs & the combination of concussion, bipolar illness, dementia & possibly alcohol or drugs made him very confused. I think it’s possible he was hit by a car - not head on, but sort of glanced at slow speed. He might’ve wandered into the street and been hit by a car, got up and walked off, then crawled into the dumpster & laid down when his injuries began to hurt. You can be badly hurt & not feel it at first, especially if your adrenaline was pumping. I think he was disoriented & imagined he was being followed.

I don’t think it’s about avoiding pain or violence - it’s more that from childhood on women have emphasis placed on their looks. So they are reluctant to disfigure themselves. It’s deeply ingrained.

He asked for a ride in the drugstore to pick up his car, remember? Who dies that? He may have wandered into another drugstore or a bar or whatever & asked for a ride.
He didn’t look too steady when he was in that drugstore. His wife didn’t comment in that videotape. He looked messy & was limping (he still had both shoes on, though). Maybe he had a few drinks, set off the smoke bombs, got a concussion and went full lulu.

Watched the Jack Wheeler episode last night. I don't know if it's just me, but in all of that security footage of him hobbling around downtown Wilmington, he looks confused, disheveled, and lost—not like he's intentionally trying to flee or hide, but like he doesn't know where he's going or what he's doing.
It was mentioned by several people in the episode (his wife, the journalist, etc.) that he would "lose" his car frequently and end up having to take taxis home because he couldn't remember where he'd parked. This was brought up very casually and was simply chalked it up to "he's a busy guy!, He can't remember things because he's too preoccupied with his brilliant career!"—but that kind of behavior indicates something akin to Alzheimer's or dementia IMO. My great-aunt had Alzheimer's and this type of behavior was one of the early indicators—constantly losing her purse, car keys, not remembering what she was doing or about to do.

R74 part of me wonders if her death was a simple accident, a theory I don't recall there being much time dedicated to (if at all?) in the episode. She may have walked across the street to the lakeshore (which is literally right off the sidewalk) for a moment—possibly just to look at the water, reflect, whatever—and she slipped, fell below the embankment (out of street view), and slid into the water. It could've happened in a matter of seconds, and nobody would have seen anything. If she happened to hit her head on the way down, she could've lost consciousness and would have drowned quickly.

From Reddit- So much was left out of this episode (cross posted to the Joann Romain subreddit)
Our show covered this case last month and we were very surprised at some of the things that were not included in the episode.
I’m sure there are reasons why some things were left out, but unlike Lena Chapins case, omitting them changed the framing of the episode a bit for us.
Some of the things left out as per our interview with Michelle and Kellie Romain.
-Joann told not only Michelle, but everyone that would listen that she was scared of Tim and that he had allegedly said he could “make her disappear” She even went so far as to tell her paralegal. Making it sound like it was only Michelle could lead someone to believe that the family made it up after the fact.
-There were 2 additional witnesses that night that that were not included in her file. The first was a woman who said she seen an underdressed man in a black scarf on the embankment that night. A black scarf was discovered at the scene and the scarf was accidentally donated to Purple Heart. How? We have no idea. The second was a man named Paul Hawk who described the Lexus Joann was driving and another car as being parked in the middle of the road. He sat down with a sketch artist and testified that he had seen Tim. The police said he wasn’t credible and was just trying to be a part of the action, but he volunteered to take a polygraph in effort to prove himself truthful. (Note: Tim has an alibi, but the family are alleging police misconduct/conspiracy so that’s why this is relevant)
I don’t know if this was mentioned, but the car was not registered to Joann. It was registered to Michelle. According to coast guard records secured by the family and validated by the Detroit free press- the call was placed to search for Joann before a plate was ever run through the system. There was no reason to believe Joann had anything to do with the car, so why did the police come to the house asking if Joann was missing?
-Joann was terrified of both the dark and water.
There are a bunch more details both small and large that weren’t included. An investigative journalist that typically covers organized crime in the Detroit area (Scott M Burnstein) is releasing a 3 part series of things he has uncovered so far over the course of the next few weeks. We really hope this family gets answers.

The brother and cousin are both involved. There was a fight over inheritance which Joann received. Her brother needed the money to pay his gambling debts and got his cousin Tim to lean on Joann.

Go back & read again.
Poster says he asked for a ride in the pharmacy & someone gave it to him. Poster goes on to say if he asked for ride in pharmacy, what’s to stop him for asking for a ride later on? If he was deluded that someone was following him (detectives said he looked as if he were glancing around to see if he was being followed in the garage) he may have gone into another place later that night & asked for a ride to get away from whoever he thought was following him. It’s a possible way he got to the town where he was found.
Something they didn’t talk about in the episode - aside from his obsession with the house across the street - is that he had a history of doing bizarre things. When his death happened I remember reading an article from a journalist who knew him. Without saying it, it was obvious the journalist had also been an intelligence agent as well. He said he’d received bizarre emails from Jack & talked to mutual friends who’d also received bizarre & sometimes angry communications from him. At the time of Wheeler’s death, nobody mentioned bipolar disorder.
His wife didn’t seem wrapped too tightly. Intelligence agencies often hire people with strange personalities/eccentricities so that if they go off the reservation & start talking about being with the CIA, nobody will believe them.

That ugly black ruffled purse that JoAnn owned was a designer purse? No way she could walk down that icy embankment with heels on at her size and not trip. If she had and fallen into the water and died, she would've a ton of broken bones and more than just a few bruises on one of her arms.
Also Wheeler's wife had terrible plastic surgery. She looks like she has Glasgow Smile scars on her face. Pretty sure her husband had dementia.

Joann didn't walk down the embankment. She slid on her butt.

I don't think Wheeler's death was any grand conspiracy. He was bipolar and also possibly suffering from dementia and was killed by some random lowlife.

The only interesting one was the Oslo one. Wheeler clearly had some issues other than bipolar going on and tbh I don't really care about the death of some fat religious cunt. As for ghosts, I would watch the Travel Channel if I was into that shit.

Copied over from another thread (as this one seems active):
I watched a couple of the new episodes tonight.
I started with the woman who died in a hotel in Oslo. I thought it sounded like another Isdal Woman story, actually, it wasn't that interesting. It felt like it would've been a better story in the old format, where they could devote just 15 minutes to it. Here they seemed to be stretching it out.
Then I saw the missing Harlem children. Broke my heart. I knew this story vaguely already, but reading it online isn't the same as seeing the mothers falling to pieces on TV. This really is horrific, and I just hope that maybe one day they will find that they are still alive and have come looking for their real mothers after being given to other families, just like that one girl who was stolen from the hospital.
I was never callous before, but now that I have two nephews around the ages of those children, I feel like I get more emotional about stuff like this.

I agree, R93. The behavior of security was odd. Didn't they have walkie-talkies in '95?
I think she was an agent, but the problem with that is that even if the intelligence service paid off her family, they can't pay off every person who was at school with her, saw her in a bar, cut her hair, etc. Was a real search ever done at the time? Don't think so. So maybe that means the intell. agency told the cops to just cool it and then a year later, throw everything away.

I found it odd that they did not mention the Isdal Woman case as it is very similar to the Oslo story. Both women were from Germany, found dead in Norway, identity still unknown - very strange.

Yep. And she is linked to Germany and she was found in Norway.
UM took most of their Oslo footage from this documentary which is a million times better. They left so many things out. There was a bottle of men’s perfume in the room.

Wheeler’s wife looked to me like she’d had fat grafts to her face, which people get when they’ve had head & neck cancer. They remove cancer and skin, then put tissue expanders under the sewn up skin that look like golf balls. The tissue expander stretches the skin so that it replaces the skin that they had to remove. Then they put grafts & sometimes prosthetics under the new skin. John McCain had it done for his skin cancer.
Head & neck cancer is more involved than just skin cancer, involving structures like the jaw, tongue, nose, sinuses, ear.

What are you talking about? The intelligence service contacts the family, gives them a medal & tells them their daughter died a hero in a small plane crash in the mountains of Bolivia or a car accident in Malaysia while working undercover & the body couldn’t be returned. They give them a tidy sum of money & tell them to announce their daughter disappeared on a hike while visiting mountains in another Iron Curtain country or died in a car crash in the USSR while working for the govt of East Germany & needs a closed casket funeral. Have a memorial service.
It’s east Germany, their neighbors aren’t going to investigate her parents’ story.

R8 We had a woman commit suicide by drowning here in Norway not too long ago. She took her two children with her. They died too. If I'm not mistaken she was an immigrant and refugee, who had been through a lot. She probably still had a lot of trauma. She drowned herself and her children in icy cold waters in the north of Norway.

I really think the frau was murdered. Money and bad blood were involved and someone like her wouldn't commit suicide in that manner. Freezing cold lake? Come on. Also she told a lot of people that if something happened to her it was the cousin. Or brother or whoever. Then she turns up dead.
