7 Game Show Contestants With a Dark Secret

Under the bright lights of a TV studio, these seven contestants smiled, played for prizes, and looked like anyone else. But every one of them has a court record—some were already hiding something the day they taped, and others hadn't done the worst of it yet. This video only includes cases where a court has spoken: a conviction, a guilty plea, or a jury verdict. No rumors, no suspects, no acquittals. The list includes a woman undone by the way she spun a wheel, a Jeopardy contestant tied to a theft case, Scott McDonald's fraud and winnings, Edward Edwards' double life between redemption and murder, Paul Curry's cold case conviction, Donna Adelson's murder plot, and the notorious Dating Game Killer. Behind the pleasant faces the audience saw, these are the quieter details, the court records, and the people who mattered most. 0:00 Seven Contestants With Court Records 1:09 Cathy Cashwell's Workers' Comp Fraud 2:44 The 1992 Jeopardy Theft Case 3:55 Scott McDonald's Fraud and Winnings 5:16 Edward Edwards' Redemption and Murders 7:54 Paul Curry's Cold Case Conviction 9:39 Donna Adelson's Murder Plot 10:22 The Dating Game Killer 12:29 The People Who Matter Most #GameShow #TrueCrime #Jeopardy #DatingGameKiller #EdwardEdwards #DonnaAdelson #ColdCase
