Now that most of the run of Forensic Files is on Amazon Prime Video, we’re re-watching the really old stuff that we haven’t seen since the ‘90s, and wow, the tone is different.

In the ep we just watched, the narrator keeps referring to “choke and dump” murders and the “choke and dump” site, which feels like phrasing that wouldn’t fly today. And while the narration simply says that the victim died by slowly bleeding out from vaginal lacerations, the re-creation shows the perp with one arm drenched in blood, like he fisted her to death.

It Was A Different Time.
