Not one of the better Cold Cases, MAJOR SPOILERS

Warning: Spoilers
This '89 episode reminds me a lot of "Love Conquers All," another one I didn't care for. In this one a young boy falls in love with a girl that has been running from foster home to foster home all her life, and then lives with him and his grandma for 10 years because she can find nothing better than him to live off of.She slyly suggests grandma probably wants to die to him so they can live off what she leaves, and when he can't do it she takes over and smothers her with a pillow. Sick. Then because she's pretty cute, she marries a wealthy man and he's devastated over what he allowed to happen. Unlike the first poster, I thought the older Sherry did look older, and yeah, it's common for women to change their hair color within a certain shade range.

In the '81 episode, "Love Conquers All," boy and girl fall madly in love, boy does another girl before their relationship is consummated, and girl convinces boy to murder the offender girl so he can be "pure" again for her and she will be "erased." He pretends to take the "other girl" on a date and her head is smashed in with barbells by his lover and shot by him.

Do people actually commit such odd crimes of passion and aren't caught for years and years? The only good thing about these episodes is their use of 80s music. I loved REO Speedwagon and Billy Joel when I was young, both used in the '81 episode at the beginning and end.
