Why is "Tunnel of Hate" anonymous?
I can understand someone not wanting to show their face, but why is the entire episode filled with fake names and generic locations? The case is public record, so I don't understand.

shareIt was weird, too, because they used a combination of fake names and real names, but weren't consistent about it. For example, "Becky's" friends were shown with their names in quotes, indicating fake names, but they ALSO showed "Cyril" in quotes, which should've indicated that it was a fake name...but it was for Dr Cyril Wecht, who is VERY well known. Just strange.

Yes! The "Cyril" thing drove me nuts!
shareYes! The "Cyril" thing drove me nuts!Ditto! It was so weird. I mean, if they're going to use fake names, fine, use fake names and put them in quotes, but don't mix REAL names in quotes with FAKE names in quotes. It doesn't make sense.
What actually happened in this Pittsburgh murder case is creepier than what they showed in the episode. Roy Kirk is the name of the murderer. Ann Hoover was the kind woman he killed next door. The address is 321 Lawn Street of you want to look up the case information.
shareThe quality standards and general competencies of production companies hired to put together TV shows have gotten MUCH worse over the years. People become lazier, there's no accountability, and the higher-ups at the network who should be overseeing this and looking at each episode carefully for QC are too distracted to catch major errors like this. It's why I rarely watch TV anymore, especially the poor editing and embarassing ADR flubs of reality TV.
