ID Channel’s Nightmare Next Door with Diane Vallere

November 5, 2016

tv1111111111sphjsjhI think I may have mentioned (once or twice…) that I like true crime shows. (I don’t watch all of them – that would be a 24/7 hobby!) As I watch the shows I find myself in a state of disbelief that these are true crimes – not fiction TV. I can’t help but imagine how these awful, cruel things can be carried out by people. The results are so profound and permanent for the victims, and their family and friends >>> whose lives will never be the same. I often find myself wondering how stupid and self-aggrandizing these terrible animals are. When I hear a person say these killers are “sick” I usually find myself actually talking back to the TV. Sick is NO excuse for their actions! (OK, now I’ll get off my soapbox and get to why I am telling you about a show I just watched…) The particular show I’m telling you about is very sad and totally senseless. (Let’s face it, all of the cases they highlight are senseless!)

One of the shows I watch on the ID (Investigation Discovery) channel is Nightmare Next Door. Well, while I was watching last night’s episode (“A Strange Trust” – season 6, episode 10), I couldn’t believe it when one of my favorite authors appeared as one of the commentators of the crime. That’s right! One of our Cozy Mystery authors was on the show giving background information!

So, for those of you who have access to the ID channel, be sure to set your DVRs up in order to see none other than Diane Vallere, author of the Style & Error, Material Witness, Costume Shop, & Mad for Mod (one of my very favorite) mystery series. The next showing of this particular show is Sunday, November 13 at 1 PM (central).

    Thanks for the heads up. I, too, am an Investigation ID junkie but I can’t watch them all! Some of them are just too gruesome. I do watch Nightmare Next Door. Bet I have it on DVR. So, we read and watch true crime. Do you find yourself figuring out the identity of perps?

      Bootigs, I often can figure it out well before the ending. However, I still enjoy the shows.

        Yep! Me too but I’m never going to let that stop me from watching. I love mystery. There’s also the delightful True Nightmare on Saturday nights. It usually has 3 stories that can be in different eras. Love it!

      Diane, I don’t know how you got the gig, but I’m certainly glad you did! I hope there will be more!

        Danna, I was lucky enough to be recommended by someone who knew me from Sisters in Crime. It was a great experience, especially because I love these types of shows!

    Danna…

    I watch ID Discovery most nights late, and like you, I keep wondering, what went wrong with some of these people that they turned out the way they did.

    I saw Diane Vallere last night on the Nightmare Next Door….the one with the two disappearing girls in 1996, and was really sorry for the families, and especially as it was a trusted friend who had murdered them.

    Can only wonder what caused him to snap…as Diane said at the end of the program, only three people know, one’s not talking and two can’t talk.

      Bev S, that crime was a most despicable and totally senseless occurrence. I feel so very sorry for all of the people it affected…

    Love ID, but not all of them. I think my favorite is Joe Kenda, Homicide Hunter (my, my, my).

    I too love the I’D Channel! In fact my sister -in-law calls it the *murder channel *, since that appropriate name… this is what I call it also! 🙂 😉 🙂

      Cindy, that definitely is an appropriate name for the channel as well! Probably not as attractive as ID though.

        Lol. Very true. I watch most of the shows and I agree what’s wrong with humanity, when they do what they do. 🙁

      Sheila in CT, I think they’re showing a different episode tomorrow afternoon, not the one with Diane Vallere in it.
