Another 1 of I.D's best shows.I know when I watch any show on I.D that someone's life has been turned upside down because of evil people.I don't enjoy watching these shows because of that, but because of the education that can be learned from it.Always be aware of things around you.Being a mother of 3,I couldn't begin to understand what victims and their families are going through.However, I don't want harm to come to my family or anyone else's.You never know when you may be the 1 to save a life.

Unusual suspects is one of the many series investigation discovery channel have. It is very interesting how the crimes are presented and solved.

Why can't we buy any of the other seasons? I was looking for season 2 episode 12, but I can't find it anywhere.
