Was there any reason for Rep. Massa to resign?
It's in his Eyes!
It's pretty scarey the kind of people that get on these shows. That girl must be thanking her lucky stars.
what scary is that he is a photographer...who knows what kind of weird stuff he's done to any of his female clients....
That girl is so lucky they never went on the date
He won...he still looks creepy!!! Glad they finally convicted him.
I hope CNN will run these new Hollenbeck segments together as a special.
Did he say he had been convicted of rape prior to his appearance on the Dating Game?
OMG! She picked him?!!
It seems that many serial killers have that "thing" about them.
Bundy, Bernardo, etc.
Oh boy!!! He is so creepy guy I see this old show..... I was surprised that he is real killer tonight!
Hello Anderson, reporters, and bloggers–
You know what I've been wondering about the Toyota issues? I've been wondering if it could be some kind of corporate sabotage? Isn't it possible that a competitor or a corporate spy could get into the Toyota factory and mess up the software?
OK, this is just creepy....but interesting (serial killer).
His answers and the way he delivered them on the dating game make me suspicious at first glance.
Bachelor number one..........have you ever killed anyone?
Hello everyone.. Anderson and 360 team
@A. Smith, Oregon, "With the coming legalization of Marijuana in California, you'll see a great many California gangs disappear over the lack of funding."
I doubt it. These gangs will just find a bigger and better "mousetrap" to sustain them.
@Casey-CA
Well said about 360 and their follow up on a number of stories. It is unique to 360
the dating game was that days version of computer luv .....don't do it
@Gayle McCauley...I have the same problem (especially in Boston)!!!! 🙂
@Casey Jones,
"I appreciate 360 taking the step "back" to human interest stories (like Hollenbeck) that are unique to 360"
I agree with you!
I remember when AC first reported on Hollenbeck...It's still heart-wrenching in my opinion. Really great reporting, and AC is the best at it!
Dating game serial killer? What sort of background check or screening are done on these contestants....
"So, there was no love after all in the gang!"
@Vanessa,
Congrats for best caption 360!!! Yay, Yes, He will do that for you.
Danie T., I think 'closure' is not the goal. You don't write off those you love.
when was this dating game aired? and how was this serial killer discovered?
Creepy it is....
I hate when my date turns out to be a serial killer ; ) How creepy is that?
I felt so badly for Ms. Brock when I first saw "Homicide in Hollenbeck" and hearing about it again brings those feelings back.
I appreciate 360 taking the step "back" to human interest stories (like Hollenbeck) that are unique to 360
Whats really sad is that this is the future of America.....
Not snitching is the direct result of the realization that many LA Police are on the drug cartel payrolls. Witness's personal information can easily be looked up and relayed to the gang members if called upon.
I wonder what we could do for the daughter and niece of these two young men who were murdered.
God bless that mother, my thoughts and prayers that she finds out who killed at least one of her boys.
God bless the child, it must be some comfort for her, but not enough.
Whao! That was hard to watch... I can only imagine how a mother feels after losing two sons that way. How do you go on – How do you find closure? Especially with no type of justice – I don't think I could... My heart goes to that lady and hope she finds the strenght and serenity to go on...
Good job AC!
Congrats Vanessa!!! I hope Anderson signs your shirt for you.
With the coming legalization of Marijuana in California, you'll see a great many California gangs disappear over the lack of funding.
This is terrible...Overkill indeed. What are the Police doing to help any that come forward?
Are they giving them a new ID and moving them to a new State, etc?
This really seems like War, Overkill. No respect!
So young...what a waste. Think what all these young people could add to the world.
@ Megan- yes! I like seeing Toobin on the show.
This "stop snitchin" attitude allows these types of murders to continue.
Hello all!
So tragic. It shows how drugs and gangs can touch even innocent family members.
I wouldn't know what I would do if this was me, and I lost two of my children & to gangs!!!
It would be heart breaking enough already, but to lose Two children in that way....I don't know if I could go on...
I think after the first son, I'd move my family really far away.
I agree, Heather. It's a sad statement.
How awful about the brothers. How does someone getting over loosing 2 sons?
sad results for the brothers...
Its really sad that kids have to look towards gangs to feel some sort of closeness that they do not get from their families
@David, Indiana
Have you seen the commercial. I see no way she can have a case.
Why didn't Lindsay Vonn sue?
Good evening all,
That has to be heart breaking for a mother; loosing not only one son but 2 sons to gang violence....
Congrat's to Vanessa, TX! Glad you won Beat 360! I hope Anderson will sign your shirt!
more than 21,000 gangs in America?
Wow, that's a lot!
