Tonight on truTV, there will be a marathon of Forensic Files. Starting at 9:00PM, a solid 6.5 hours of the fascinating scientific detective work used to bring previously uncatchable killers to justice.
In case you don't have time to watch, I was IMing with comedian Andres du Bouchet recently, and he told me "he had a vision that he was going to become a psychic."
Deciding to put his powers to the test, he agreed to predict who the killers were in each one of these episodes... WITHOUT EVER HAVING SEEN THEM. Are you like, totally spooked out yet!? Here is an edited version of our IM session, in which I gave him nothing but the titles of the individual episodes, and he amazingly REVEALED THE IDENTITIES OF THE KILLERS.
If he is right or wrong, I have no idea, in case he is, stop reading now, because SPOILERS FOLLOW.
9:00 PM episode entitled "If I Were You"I see a bag of groceries...The killer is the grocery bagger.
9:30 PM episode entitled "Sharper Image"I see a bag again. This time with the word "douche" written on the side. The killer has something to do with that...
10:00 PM episode entitled "As Fault"
Jill.
10:30 PM episode entitled "Dog Day Afternoon"

Oh yeah. I guess I am. The episodes repeat after a while.
Can change my answers?
You just did. First time around you said the killer was "Jill." Now you say it's "the tennis instructor." But whatever. You're the psychic.
Um. Yes, Jill instructs tennis.
2:30 AM episode entitled "Dog Day Afternoon"The pug and the corgie.
3:00 AM episode entitled "Material Witness"The crazy guy who pops bubble wrap all day.
3:30 AM episode entitled "Quite A Spectacle"The librarian.
And we did it!
I feel drained.
Big thanks to Andres for participating. To see if his predictions were correct, check out the Forensic Files marathon starting tonight at 9:00PM.
