Anyone see Dateline on NBC? (Miami, Tampa: house, live, mall)

It was a 2-story program, and both stories involved Florida.

The first one was about that RE Agent from Tampa who went missing 9 years ago. I believe it was her (at the time) husband who had a previous manslaughter case againt him and served time in California, well he moved to FL and then married this RE Agent who later came up missing. I didnt really hear much of it but the 2nd story I remember hearing about...

The 2nd story on Datelinewas about the kidnappings and killings of a few people in a high-end mall in Boca Raton. I cant believe they havent caught the guy that kidnaps women, usually with thier child, makes them drive to an ATM so he can get their money, and then he killed one lady and then the next incident he killed a woman and her 7 yr old child after robbing them... many of you have probably heard about this awful story. There are hardly any good leads out there, but one woman survived her kidnapping and said she remember exactly what his face looks like. She said he was hispanic or from the Islands, and didnt have much of an accent, etc... the cops found a few peices of evidence down in Miami on the steet, but not sure if he lives down there. Anyway, what a terrible story. I sure do hope they catch this guy.

I saw that segment a couple of years ago. Was this a repeat?

Why don't women carry guns in such a rat-infested swamp?

I believe it was a new program. It's been on the news off and on the last couple years, but I believe the program on NBC lastnight was recent. Unfortunately there arent a lot of leads. Well, the cops received like 850 leads, and I think the cops/detectives were working hard on the case, but non of the leads have led to this psycho's capture yet.

And did you see the piece on the family of the first lady that was murdered? The woman that was married to the chiropractor? The cops said the husband reacted strange to the sad news that his wife was killed, and it was not a normal reaction - but maybe people just react differently to terrible news. The cops also said that when they approached the house to tell the husband and son about the terrible news, the son was pacing in the driveway back and forth - smoking a cigarette and talking on his cell phone. Strange.

then they mentioned another theory about the chiropractors wife, that he was doing prostitutes and it was robbery, since he lived in a 2 Million dollar house..I dont know if I believe that one, but either way its scary...they valet parking at that mall and then open spots and its very busy so its worth the 5.00 to pay for the valet at that point...

I heard the prostitution topic come up, but it's hard to say whats real and what's not. The son didn't look like much of a winner when they showed him a few times. I dont know, I just found it very shocking the way they looked during the times after the murder when they were shown on camera.
