Unsolved Mysteries	comment	"This article is about Unsolved Mysteries. Whenever possible, the actual viewers and fans have participated in recreating the tropes. What you are about to read is not a news broadcast."Unsolved Mysteries was a TV show which ran from 1987-2002, with intermittent breaks in between, and was hosted for most of its run (which Channel Hopped from NBC to CBS and then Lifetime) by Robert Stack. It was revived from 2008-2010 on Spike TV, hosted by Dennis Farina, and again beginning in 2020 on Netflix with all-new mysteries. The original series run was seen in Canada in syndication.As the show's name implies, this series delves into a variety of mysteries, showing dramatic re-enactments of each. They can range from typical missing persons cases and stories of lost loved ones to the paranormal: ghost stories, UFO's, the Loch Ness Monster, and all that good stuff.Although it's presented like a piece of fiction, most every mystery is real. In fact, roughly 400 of this show's mysteries have been solved. It is believed to have originally directly competed with America's Most Wanted. Previous versions of the show had a telephone hotline set up that you could call if you have any information, while the current version only has a website. Some of the mysteries presented back then have remained unsolved to this day, while others are still being solved. You may watch re-edited episodes of the original show with iconic host Robert Stack on various streaming services, with new updates from as late as 2017. Thanks to FilmRise, Unsolved Mysteries now has its own YouTube channel.

In another segment, when the police go to arrest a nudist for sexually assaulting a young girl, an officer stands in front of the man as he reads him his rights and thus shields the viewers from seeing him.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_1b539743	comment	Survival Through Self-Sacrifice: In 1943 in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, teenager Helen Elas hid and cared for a cadre of U.S. soldiers after their plane crashed near her home. She knew she was putting herself in danger, but was unwilling to put her own needs ahead of the soldiers', and was fully prepared to do whatever it took to protect them, even if it meant giving up her own life. Sure enough, she was betrayed by her own stepmother and eventually sent to a concentration camp. Miraculously, she survived and, through the show, was able to reconnect with the men she saved.

Upon learning that Charita required surgery for cancer that would leave her sterile, Niki promised Charita that if she ever had a child, she'd share it with Charita and they'd both be its mother, and that she'd name it after Charita. The two girls lost touch soon afterward but were reunited thanks to the show, and Niki was able to keep her promise. (This has been cited by fans as one of the most beautiful Tear Jerker episodes.) Bill Rundle and his BFF Traci Kenley, who vanished from their small Nebraska town in 2000. Although Traci and Bill were extremely close and did everything together, their relationship was from all accounts platonic, and Traci already had a long-term boyfriend. Their disappearance sparked rumors of an affair, but two years later, their bodies were found in a nearby lake, and it was determined to be most likely an accidental drowning.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_21af4dc3	type	Heroic Dog
Unsolved Mysteries / int_21af4dc3	comment	Heroic Dog: Victoria Doroshenko's service dog, Harley, possessed an uncanny knack for being able to predict when his owner was about to have a seizure and making sure she was safe. On one occasion, he began barking and acting unruly in order to get Victoria to a safe place to have her seizure. The episode reported that 15 other dogs were known to possess the same ability, six of them originating from the same facility as Harley. Another story featured a young Newfoundland dog who rescued a deaf-mute prospector swept away in the Yuba River's strong current; and Oscar, a Golden Retriever who was extremely friendly and relaxed with strangers, but attacked the armed intruder who threatened his owner's life. Neither had had any training and their owners put their actions down to possible psychic ability. There's also Mia, a yellow Lab whose agitated nibbling and and pawing at her owner's breast caused her to discover a malignant tumor; and Shadow, a gentle Schnauzer who could tell when his human had dangerously low blood sugar. Doctors speculate that a keen sense of smell was responsible in those cases. There's been at least one story of a Heroic Cat as well (Ringo, who was able to detect a gas leak that might have killed his owners) and even a Heroic Pot-Bellied Pig (Lulu, who ran to get help when her owner suffered a heart attack).

Unsolved Mysteries / int_2317bc85	type	Tampering with Food and Drink
Unsolved Mysteries / int_2317bc85	comment	Tampering with Food and Drink: In 1967, Joe Maloney offered his ex-wife, June, a drink, which unbeknownst to her was tainted with poison Joe had stolen from a friend's laboratory. June lapsed into a coma and lingered for three months before succumbing. Joe was apprehended in Ireland years later but freed as the nation had no extradition law with the U.S., making his case also one of the worst examples of Karma Houdini profiled on the show. Elizabeth Ortiz, who poisoned her husband Gilbert's muscle-building amino-acid milkshakes with insecticide, then ran off with their young son. Miraculously, Gilbert survived, though the poison severely damaged his nerves and liver. Elizabeth was eventually captured in Mexico and Gilbert and his son were reunited. Sadly - see under Bittersweet Ending above - Gilbert's relationship with his son is now strained (to say the least). Dr. Michael Swango's coworkers thought it was a nice gesture when he bought them "extra spicy" fried chicken and donuts. Unbeknownst to them, he had laced the food with ant poison. They became violently ill but survived; as many as 60 others, both patients and coworkers of Swango's, were not so lucky. Similarly, Tampering with Medicine in the case of Patsy Wright, a Texas businesswoman who died in 1987 after ingesting cold medicine tainted with strychnine. The victim's ex-husband was a prime suspect but police were unable to gather enough evidence to prosecute him, and Patsy's murder remains unsolved. A segment on a Serial Rapist depicted his victim being drugged by whatever he'd put in her drunk. Lab work showed it was a sedative (he was a doctor) given at much higher than the necessary amount. The Frank Olson case. A few weeks before his death, he was served a drink which, unbeknownst to him, was spiked with LSD, apparently so that CIA brass could prepare operatives for the eventuality of Soviet agents doing the same to them.note This was in 1953, some time before the recreational use of LSD became common. When Olson learned he'd been drugged, he was furious. His family believes he was murdered to keep him quiet about this and other such abuses committed by the CIA during the Cold War.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_2439b588	comment	As the Good Book Says...: Dennis DePue attempted to justify murdering his ex-wife, Marilynn, in a series of rambling letters sent to family and friends while he was on the run, in which he quoted liberally from Scripture. He even said he was tired of waiting for God to punish Marilynn for treating him unfairly during the divorce, so he took matters into his own hands. Ecclesiastes 12: 1-8 may be an important clue in the still-unsolved 1977 death of Charles Morgan. Before Morgan's body was found, an unidentified woman called his wife and told her that he was all right, and mentioned this Bible passage. Morgan had also mentioned these verses on a $2 bill found on his person. Part of the passage reads: "Men are afraid of a high place and of terrors on the road. Remember him before the silver cord is broken and the golden bowl is crushed. Then the dust will return to the earth as it was and the spirit will return to God who gave it."

Sadly Jim died without ever meeting his twin (though he was able to find a long-lost older sister he also hadn't known about previously), but his family has continued the search.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_2562da69	comment	Great Escape: A special episode revolved around the legendary escape of Frank Morris and the Aldin brothers from Alcatraz Island and their subsequent disappearance from the face of the Earth. An early episode profiled Mark Adams, a convicted thief and murderer who managed to escape from San Quentin in 1986. Authorities believed he had either scaled the 25-foot prison walls (unlikely), stowed away in a service vehicle, or disguised himself in civilian clothes and blended in with a crowd of visitors. Unlike the Alcatraz escapees, he was caught and returned to prison (although it took seven years).note Soon after his return to San Quentin, Adams was fatally shot by guards while scuffling with another inmate.

When the murderer, a fellow Cash Box employee, was eventually caught, he revealed that Dixon was the one who had ordered the hit on Hughes for refusing to get involved in the chart fixing operation. By this time, Dixon had passed away, but the hit man himself got a life sentence and died in prison.

From 1985 until his death, Drummond amassed a good part of this money through much penny-pinching. Some of his ways of saving money included moving into a YMCA in Lansing, Michigan during the last four years of his life but not paying extra for a private bathroom. He also spent about $6 a day on food, getting a breakfast of bacon, eggs & toast from a diner along with two more of those that he'd eat for lunch and dinner.

Ness believed he knew who the killer was - a prominent socialite who checked himself into a mental hospital, after which the murders stopped - though he lacked the evidence to bring him to justice. However, it's theorized that due to his social standing, the suspect was allowed to come and go as he pleased while incarcerated, and indeed, after the murders in Cleveland ceased, similar killings were reported in other Midwestern cities. It's even theorized that the torso slayer may have been responsible for the death of "Black Dahlia" Elizabeth Short in Los Angeles in 1947.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_3318a1cb	type	Distant Finale
Unsolved Mysteries / int_3318a1cb	comment	Distant Finale: Sort of. While many cases were left unsolved, some cases did get a resolution on other programs years later. The murder of Dorothy Donovan, for example, an elderly woman who was killed by a mysterious hitchhiker, that the woman's son had encountered earlier in the night, was solved on Forensic Files. The murderer was a drug-addicted drifter who broke into the woman's house thinking it was abandoned. Resolutions came even on Unsolved Mysteries itself. For a while, reruns of the show were aired on Lifetime (before the network began to get new episodes of its own). Very often, updates were provided and specifically designated as "Lifetime Exclusive," meaning that even after all these years, the cases had either been solved in the interim between network and cable TV airings or were still being solved thanks to viewership (for example, Jesse James Hollywood). In the early morning hours of December 30, 1999, the home of Danny and Kathy Freeman was torched. Investigators found their bodies in the rubble and that their daughter Ashley and her friend Lauria Bible (who had been spending the night) had vanished. After years of speculation as to their fate, including that they had murdered the couple and then run off, the murderer of all four was finally arrested in 2018. In January of 1993, young mother Bonnie Haim disappeared from her home. Suspicion quickly fell on her husband, but the case went cold with no evidence. 21 years later, her now grown son—who even as a toddler was certain that he witnessed his mother's murder—discovered her remains in the backyard of his childhood home. As of April 2019, her husband has been convicted of her murder. Joyce McClain was murdered August 8, 1980. Nearly 36 years later, her killer was finally arrested. Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg were murdered in November of 1987, with their killer being arrested in 2018 and convicted the following year. The murderer of Annette Schnee and Bobbi Jo Oberholtzer was finally arrested in March 2021, 39 years later.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_3529edef	type	Satanic Panic
Unsolved Mysteries / int_3529edef	comment	Satanic Panic: Satanic cults or rituals played a part in a number of murder cases profiled. Texas teenagers Shane Stewart and Sally McNelly left the Satanic cult of which they had been members and went to the police after allegedly learning that cult members were involved in robbery and murder. In July 1988, Shane and Sally were themselves murdered, and authorities believe the killers were members of said cult who wanted to keep them quiet. The case is still unsolved. Charlie Sigmin, a devout Christian, was horrified when he caught his wife, Ann, in the middle of a Satanic ritual, and the two separated soon afterward. In 1986, Ann's boyfriend Garey Goff shot Charlie to death, and Ann was later caught on tape implicating herself in a plot to kill Charlie. Goff served his time and has been released; Ann's whereabouts are still unknown. An early episode theorized that David Berkowitz was not the only individual involved in the Son of Sam murders, and that several other members of the Satanic cult in which he was involved committed some of the shootings. As of the year the episode aired (1988), this cult was apparently still meeting regularly in a nearby park, and if their apparent past behavior was any indication, still posing a serious threat to the general public. In the California Arsonist case, a man and his son found a videotape wrapped in a cast-off fatigue jacket by the side of the road and took it home to watch it. It was a recording of a house on fire, with whoever was making the video providing a demented running commentary suggesting that he was both the arsonist and involved in satanism. After the family turned the videocassette in to the police, the police searched for the aforementioned jacket and found it. In the pockets were a ceramic skull, cassette tapes of heavy-metal music, and a wooden pestle—of the type, said narrator Stack, "sometimes used to grind herbs for satanic rituals." (When the arsonist was found, it turned out he was simply a mentally unstable teenager and had no connection with any satanic cult.)

Unsolved Mysteries / int_3e8c87a3	type	Dated History
Unsolved Mysteries / int_3e8c87a3	comment	Dated History: Quite a few of the high-profile mysteries aren't so mysterious anymore. note The FilmRise reruns of the original series on YouTube bring the viewer up to date (or at least to 2017) with updates on cases resolved since the original series went off the air, although a few cases have had important developments even more recently, two examples of which - the Molly Bish and Barbara Jean Horn stories - are noted below. Unsolved Mysteries aired a segment about the then-unknown Unabomber. Several years later, he was identified as Ted Kaczynski. The show later floated the idea that Kaczynski was also the Zodiac Killer (some still believe he was). In 2002, in one of Robert Stack's final episodes before his death, the show aired a segment about an elusive serial rapist/killer only known then as the East Area Rapist/Original Night Stalker, who struck across California in the 1970s and '80s. The case was only recently solved on April 25, 2018, when the FBI arrested former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo, age 72, based on familial DNA evidence. It also aired a segment fingering William Stevens, a petty criminal and all-around creep, as the Green River Killer. Five years after the episode aired, Gary Ridgway was identified as the Green River Killer through DNA evidence. Stevens is no longer considered a suspect in the case. The 1991 "Diabolical Minds" special profiled the case of Joan Rogers, who was murdered along with her daughters Michelle and Christe while on vacation in Florida in 1989. The murderer, Oba Chandler, was caught in 1992 and executed in 2011, and was posthumously implicated in another unsolved murder from 1990. A 1996 segment covered the unsolved 1975 murder of Martha Moxley. Seven years later, Michael Skakel was convicted of the murder, although Skakel's conviction was overturned 2018 and the State of Connecticut eventually decided not to retry him. Then-fugitive James Bulger was featured in an episode. By the time he was finally caught, an update was added to the episodes that were now being shown on Spike TV. The 2000 disappearance of 16-year-old Molly Bish sadly became a murder investigation when her body was found in June 2003. 18 years later, investigators announced they had a person of interest in the case - a convicted rapist named Frank Sumner, who had died in 2016. Ronald Glenn West, a former cop currently serving a life sentence for raping and killing two women near Toronto in 1970, is considered a person of interest in the Blind River Rest Stop murders of 1991, as he was living in that northern Ontario community at the time and reportedly, if he wore a blond wig, bore a resemblance to the composite sketch of the killer. However, there has never been enough evidence to charge him, and the lone survivor of the attack, Gord McAllister, is now deceased. On the flip side of the coin, the 1988 murder of four-year-old Barbara Jean Horn is once again unsolved. Walter Ogrod confessed to the killing and was sentenced to death in 1996, but claimed he was innocent and his confession had been coerced, and was officially exonerated in 2020 due to DNA evidence. Google-searching many of the cases will find newspaper articles on them, revealing that they were high-profile locally, if not nationally, and also often mentioning that their story was profiled on the show. Often, these articles come with a resolution on the case, like those of Bonnie Haim and Joyce McLain's killer has finally been arrested. The story of the abductions of Angela Hammond, Cheryl Ann Kenney, and Trudy Darby was recently featured on the Investigation Discovery series "Welcome To Murdertown". In was done in a very similar format to the Unsolved Mysteries segment and reveals that not only have Trudy's killers been caught, police indeed believe that they are responsible for the disappearance and presumed murder of the other two women. On occasion, new developments in cases would occur before the segments even aired. An example is the case of Adam and Elena Emery, who were believed to have staged their own suicides in 1993 after Adam was convicted of a 1990 murder. Before the case aired, Elena's skull was found, confirming that she was in fact dead, though the circumstances of her death remain unclear.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_3f0b2f50	type	Make It Look Like an Accident
Unsolved Mysteries / int_3f0b2f50	comment	Make It Look Like an Accident: Probably the most common type of case during Stack's era involved someone being found dead, with Stack always introducing the segment by saying "the police ruled it a suicide, but the family says... MURDER." In some cases there were multiple types of blood being found at the crime scene, or victims that were bound with packing wire before being dumped into incinerators. The Keith Warren case took this up to eleven. Aside from his likely murder being made to look like a suicide (numerous toxins were found in his body, he was wearing clothes that weren't his, both the rope and the tree that he was hung from were far too fragile to support his weight, and the rope was tied in a ridiculously elaborate fashion that would have been impossible for him to do), when a friend of his called his mother, wanting to talk to her, he was soon found dead by the side of the road. Despite injuries that clearly indicated that he'd been beaten with an object, it was ruled as a hit-and-run. In one such case - the 1987 deaths of Arkansas teens Don Henry and Kevin Ives, who were run over by a locomotive while lying unconscious on the train tracks - the victims' families were successful in getting the cause of death changed to murder. Their deaths had originally been ruled accidental after autopsies seemed to show the boys had smoked enough marijuana to render them unconscious. However, subsequent postmortems revealed that the boys had not smoked nearly that much pot and that both were probably dead or at least unconscious before they were placed on the tracks. The murders remain unsolved. Subverted in some cases where it possibly was an accident. In the Russell Evans case, Stack truthfully pointed out that even if he had been accidentally hit by a car (as investigators believed) instead of beaten (as his parents believed), the driver still deserved to be arrested for his actions. Sadly, successful in the case of the above-mentioned Michelle Witherell. In all likelihood, her husband beat her to death after catching up with her as she tried to flee him and then dragged her body to a spot in the parking lot right under their balcony to make it look as though she had fallen off while trying to hang Christmas lights. Despite her injuries clearly being consistent with being beaten rather than from a fall, as well as further evidence of her body being dragged to where it was found, he was acquitted.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_479d4e5a	comment	Would Hurt a Child: Many of the criminals profiled for abusing, kidnapping, or murdering children. One of the more horrifying cases is that of three-year-old Rachael Runyan, who was not only abducted and killed, but may have been featured in a Snuff Film made by her killers. Four of the people shot in the Las Cruces bowling alley massacre were children. Three of them died, with the youngest victim just two years old. Jim Burnside told his wife, Annette, he'd kill her and her entire family if she ever tried to leave him. When his five-year-old daughter asked him if he'd kill her too, Jim, without missing a beat, replied, "Yes, I'll kill you too." He later made good on his threat to kill Annette. He was captured and died in prison. The "baby brokers" profiled on the show, including Bessie Bernard, Ethel Nation, and especially Georgia Tann, who became notorious for kidnapping infants and then selling them to childless well-to-do couples. Ethel Nation continued to inflict emotional pain on her victims into adulthood, cruelly telling anyone who inquired about their background that their mothers had been wanton women who hadn't wanted kids but were unable to afford abortions. In at least one case, this was determined to be a cruel lie. Sometimes extends to the authorities. In 1917 in Fatima, Portugal, young Lucia Santos and her two cousins, who claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary, were held by town officialsnote The visions were believed by authorities to be a political hoax and that the kids had been put up to it by the local priest, in opposition to the secular Portuguese Republican government. Ironically, the priest didn't believe the kids at first either. who ordered them to divulge what the Blessed Mother had told them, under threat of torture and death. Lucia's cousins, after refusing to talk, were taken away and told they would be boiled in oil; despite this, Lucia remained unflappable. Fortunately the authorities were bluffing, as Lucia's cousins were not harmed and she was soon reunited with them.

When they ask the man if he knows why he's there, he states, "I assume it's about the shooting of (rival business owner)." When the cops ask him how he could have known about that, as (a) they hadn't told him, and (b) the news hadn't been made public, so no one else could have told him, the man nervously refused to answer any more questions and declared that he wanted to call his lawyer. Said attorney promptly told him to walk out if he wasn't under arrest. He did, but sure enough, an investigation found that he'd hired a hit man to kill the other man. The police became suspicious of Tim McClure when he claimed that he drove along the highway looking for his mother's purse, something they had not told him was missing when they found her body. The Christi Nichols case mentioned above. Police were suspicious of Christi's husband Mark after he recited the contents of his missing wife's suitcase down to the last detail.

Even worse, it was murder; her estranged husband had rigged her car with dynamite. Some research will turn up examples of some sad or unfortunate things that have happened to people who were interviewed on the show in the years since. Some have passed away under sad circumstances, such as Nyleen Kay Marshall's mother, Nancy, who was raped and murdered in 1995 in Mexico, or Heidi Wyrick's father Andy, who died at the young age of 45. Others have ended up on the wrong side of the law, such as the motorcyclist who found the Good Samaritan who saved his life after an accident, then went on to be convicted of molesting a child.

Or Robert Hamrick, deemed to have died in a car accident despite also showing signs of a beating—blood being found in the back of his car, his billy club missing, and the damage to his car being insufficient to have caused fatal injuries. People suspicious regarding the death of their loved ones have often had the bodies exhumed for a second autopsy to find that the second report flat-out contradicts what was said in the original and/or what the police and/or eyewitnesses claimed to have happened.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_590eb583	comment	Domestic Abuse: Frequently. Friends and relatives of missing or murdered women often cite that their husbands/boyfriends were violent and believe them to be responsible. In several two instances, it wasn't even the women who had vanished/been killed or attacked, but friends of theirs who had tried to help, or in the Theresa Stamper story, her new boyfriend. Some of the "wanted" segments take it further, with everyone knowing for a fact that the man in question is guilty and the focus being on catching him.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_5a3b8032	comment	The Unreveal: Everyone realized that the truly unexplained paranormal mysteries, as well as stories on locales such as Lourdes and Fatima where religious miracles are said to have occurred, were never going to be solved. It didn't make their episodes on them any less awesome. Some of the more infamous crime based cases the show covered, such as the harassment of Bill and Dorothy Wacker or the Circleville Letter Writer, will likely never be solved since in the former case both of the victims are now dead, and in the latter case the only remotely plausible suspect has already served a prison sentence and still actively denies he had anything to do with it. Or other infamous murder or missing person cases—the Lincoln assassination, the MLK assassination, the Huey Long assassination—that took place so long ago that solving them is unlikely and bringing the responsible party to justice is impossible given that they themselves are likely dead. An update to the Huey Long report stated that a former superintendent of the Louisiana State Police, Francis Grevemberg, has revealed that two eyewitness state troopers told him that the supposed assassin Dr. Weiss was unarmed, and Huey was accidentally shot by his own bodyguards, who then planted a gun on Weiss. Grevemberg could not speak up earlier because the Louisiana State legislature was filled with pro-Long politicians who did not believe the story or support an inquiry: also revealed was the $20,000 life insurance payment granted to Long's family on his accidental death.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_6d332aea	comment	Driven to Suicide: Rozsi Thormat, a Russian immigrant to New Jersey, drowned herself and her infant daughter, Fatimat, in 1956. She had been in a dispute with her husband as to whether the family should stay in America (which she wanted) or return to Russia (which he wanted, as his business wasn't doing well in the U.S.) and also suffering from what would likely be today diagnosed as postpartum depression. Fatimat's sister, Farezat Thormat-Abdokov, contacted the show in hopes of reuniting with her half-sister, Margaret Wiesner, the daughter of Rozsi's first husband Samuel. Margaret was taken away by Samuel after Rozsi's death because he wanted her to be raised in a Jewish family, not with her stepfather who was Muslim and who kept Farezat. The case remains unsolved. (The Unsolved Mysteries wiki has this one under Margaret Wiesner's name.) One episode profiled a woman named Georgia Rudolph who claimed she was the reincarnation of Sandra Jean Jenkins, a young woman from Marietta, Ohio, who had drowned herself in 1914 after her boyfriend had been killed in an accidental fall. According to Georgia, Sandra was pregnant with Tommy's child, a cause for scandal at the time as the couple were not married, and wanted to avoid the ostracism and gossip she knew would ensue if she continued living. Because she was a suicide, Sandra was allegedly buried in an unmarked grave. Some fugitives, such as Dennis DePue (who beat and shot his estranged wife to death), opted to take their own lives rather than face the music when cornered by law enforcement. In 1958, Texas teen Patsy Summers had an affair with an enlisted man named Duncan Gilmore and ended up pregnant, but kept this a secret from her fiancee and let him believe the baby was his. The stress of keeping this secret took its toll on Patsy and she attempted suicide twice, succeeding the second time by driving head-on into oncoming traffic. Patsy and Duncan's daughter, Jeannie, was successful in her search for her birth father.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_79a60aec	comment	For Want Of A Nail: The George Owens case. An 80-year-old man gets lost while driving, and decides to stop at a gas station and ask for directions back to his hometown. The clerk misunderstands where George is trying to go, and sends him to a town on the other side of the state. The next day he turns up there, and thereafter disappears and is never seen again. We will never know why George got lost that day or what happened to him when he got to the strange town, but it is very possible that the clerk's mistake changed the course of — and perhaps ended — George's life. Equally sad is the story of the store owner who waited on George while he was in the unfamiliar town. During her interview segment, she was visibly trying not to cry and clearly berating herself for failing to realize that he was disoriented and needed help. Many stories are like this. Were it not for a simple late night trip to the ATM/supermarket/coffee shop, had people accepted the offer of a ride instead of deciding to walk (or turned down a ride from that person they thought they knew) — many of the "deaths" and "missing persons" might still be alive today. As the arrest of Joyce McLain's killer shows, it turns out that the cops often have suspicions about the guilty party from the get-go, but can't make an arrest because those suspicions are all that they have. It can sometimes take years before enough evidence is accumulated to bring charges. A number of cases involved kids who ended up abducted and/or murdered because their parents let them go somewhere (like to The Convenient Store Next Door), play, etc. without adult supervision. Michaela Garecht's parents assumed she would be safe if a friend went with her; they were wrong. Kathy Hobbs' mother assumed her daughter would be with friends, but Kathy's friends weren't at their usual meeting place and Kathy chose to go alone. The investigator who handled the discovery of Kathy's body noted that the sight made him want to bring his daughter to the scene, to show her what sometimes happens to kids who go out after dark. A particularly tragic example: Lauria Bible's parents let her stay at her friend Ashley Freeman's to celebrate the latter's 16th birthday. Before the night was over, Ashley's parents were murdered, the Freeman house had been burned to the ground, and Ashley and Lauria had disappeared. 19 years later, the killers of all four were finally arrested. Had she not been allowed to do something as commonplace as spend the night with her best friend, Lauria would be alive today. This doesn't only apply to kids either. In 1910, Conradina Olson's son, Edwin, opted not to accompany his mother on a train trip, which she claimed was for a doctor's appointment. Conradina was never seen alive again, and Edwin blamed himself for the rest of his life. Conversely, this has also saved many potential victims lives. In particular, all 15 members of a choir were late for rehearsal due to some trivial reason, and all were spared a fiery death when the church exploded (due to a faulty boiler) within minutes of when rehearsal would have started.

The investigator who handled the discovery of Kathy's body noted that the sight made him want to bring his daughter to the scene, to show her what sometimes happens to kids who go out after dark. A particularly tragic example: Lauria Bible's parents let her stay at her friend Ashley Freeman's to celebrate the latter's 16th birthday. Before the night was over, Ashley's parents were murdered, the Freeman house had been burned to the ground, and Ashley and Lauria had disappeared. 19 years later, the killers of all four were finally arrested. Had she not been allowed to do something as commonplace as spend the night with her best friend, Lauria would be alive today. This doesn't only apply to kids either. In 1910, Conradina Olson's son, Edwin, opted not to accompany his mother on a train trip, which she claimed was for a doctor's appointment. Conradina was never seen alive again, and Edwin blamed himself for the rest of his life.

Having a camera with her, she managed to snap a picture of the driver as she went by on the highway, even at the risk of either getting a poor quality shot, losing the camera or, even worse, she being harmed due to her actions. Fortunately, her picture allowed a composite of the suspect to be made and eventually led to one of the robber's arrest.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_96a33f11	comment	The George Owens case. An 80-year-old man gets lost while driving, and decides to stop at a gas station and ask for directions back to his hometown. The clerk misunderstands where George is trying to go, and sends him to a town on the other side of the state. The next day he turns up there, and thereafter disappears and is never seen again. We will never know why George got lost that day or what happened to him when he got to the strange town, but it is very possible that the clerk's mistake changed the course of — and perhaps ended — George's life. Equally sad is the story of the store owner who waited on George while he was in the unfamiliar town. During her interview segment, she was visibly trying not to cry and clearly berating herself for failing to realize that he was disoriented and needed help.

Interviews with the loved ones of missing/murdered women or the police investigating the case make it quite clear that they believe their husbands/boyfriends are responsible. Ricardo Caputo was known to have murdered four girlfriends and was a suspect in the murder of at least two more. He never married any of them, but one of his victims was two months pregnant with his child at the time of her death.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_bec0417c	type	Happily Married
Unsolved Mysteries / int_bec0417c	comment	Even some cases where a missing/abducted person is found alive can have this. One case had a Happily Married man go missing that was found and he explained that in traveling for the business he and his wife owned, he was robbed and beaten, which caused him to lose his memory and he and his wife eventually divorced because the brain injury he received made him lose memories of her. Even worse, investigators believe he might have been an Amnesiac Liar who abandoned his wife and his business because the pressure was too much for him. The Alex Cooper case, in which another Happily Married man went missing voluntarily because he feared prosecution for a robbery he'd been accused of decades earlier, not realizing that any charges filed against him had probably been long since dropped. His family were already in shock from learning that "Alex Cooper" wasn't even his real name, and once found, Cooper revealed that he changed his name as part of his original strategy to avoid the charges. Cooper was genuinely remorseful for the pain he had caused his family, but his wife and daughter seemed willing to welcome him back into their lives despite the fact that he had damaged their trust. The Mac MacDonald case, in which MacDonald finally found the daughter he'd run out on decades earlier. MacDonald had become romantically involved with a teenage girl which resulted in the girl becoming pregnant, but when he finally met the infant, he was afraid to get close to her for fear his girlfriend's parents were luring him into a trap to face statutory rape charges, and he fled quickly and never saw his daughter again until the show reunited them. MacDonald's now-adult daughter had mixed feelings about the reunion, as she still resented her father for running out on her and her mother and had come to consider the man who raised her as her real father, but also stated she felt there was nevertheless room for her birth father in her family. Also, several children of parental abductions end on a bittersweet note with the child turning against the left-behind parent or guardian due to the brainwashing they suffered from their abductor. The worst example of this is the case of Jonathan Ortiz, who was abducted by his mother as a baby, eventually reunited with his father as a child and was arrested as a teenager for multiple incidents of beating up his father (who was left disabled due to his ex-wife poisoning him) due to blaming him for his mother being in prison. Dyann Hahnlein, who was suffering from a terminal blood disorder, was able to find her long-lost sister, Marilyn, due to the show, with the hopes that Marilyn would be able to donate bone marrow to treat the disease. Sadly Marilyn's bone marrow was not a match and Dyann would eventually lose her battle with the disease just a year after the reunion, but she was able to rekindle her relationship with her sister before she died.

Another of its paranomal stories claims that the ghost of Grace Brown haunts the lake where she was murdered by her faithless lover, who didn't want the responsibilities of marriage and fatherhood. Cecilia Newball was 8.5 months pregnant when she and her six-year old son vanished from their home. Her husband claims that she left him for another man and that she wrote him a "Dear John" Letter. Her friends and the police suspect otherwise but with no evidence, he remains a free man. One of serial killer Ricardo Caputo's victims, Laura Marie Gomez, was two months pregnant, presumably with his child, when he murdered her. Stephanie Gaffney was eight months pregnant when she became a victim of New York City's "Zip Gun Bomber," whose attacks - consisting of mailing a package which appears to be a gift and fires three shots at the recipient when opened - killed at least one person and injured at least five others between 1982 and 1996. Miraculously, Stephanie survived and gave birth to a healthy baby girl when doctors had to induce labor due to the fetus being in distress. She believes the only reason she and her baby were not killed was that she was holding the package at an angle when the shots were fired.

The Harmful to Hitchhikers variation also applies, as in the case of Maria WahlÃ©n and Marie Lilienburg, two young women from Sweden who were murdered while hitchhiking around California in 1983. Their murders are still unsolved, although investigators believe the women may have been victims of a serial killer who has since committed suicide.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_c335b9ec	comment	Irony: Wendy Camp's husband had a bad feeling when her ex called and offered to let her visit their son. He sent his sister along with her and her daughter for safety. . . and they all disappeared that day. (21 years later, a local finally led police to where all three bodies were buried, and her ex and his mother were charged with murder). Angela Maher had founded her local Students Against Drunk Driving chapter after a friend of hers was killed while driving drunk...and was killed herself by a drunk driver, who subsequently went on the run (where she remains to this day). Worse, that night she was actually on her way to pick up an intoxicated friend to safely drive them home. The story of Gretchen Burford, a criminal defense attorney from Palo Alto, California, who was carjacked and then stabbed to death in February 1988. Gretchen's family expressed sorrow that her murderer, a young Black man, was exactly the kind of person Gretchen had dedicated her life to helping. It took nearly two decades to find her killer, and in a final ironic twist, he was saved from the death penalty by the fact that his victim had been opposed to capital punishment.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_c3c18143	comment	Hope Spot: Whenever a missing person's family received news (i.e. a sighting) suggesting that the missing might still be alive, only to have their hopes dashed. One noteworthy example is the story of Kari Lynn Nixon, a 16-year-old girl from New York state who went missing in 1987. A woman several states away reported meeting a girl she assumed to be a runaway who met Kari's description and even answered to Kari's name. And in 1989, a girl matching Kari's description was seen in a New Kids on the Block concert video. Sadly, Kari's remains were discovered in 1994 and it was determined she had been killed shortly after her abduction. Her killer is serving life without parole.

Host Robert Stack had portrayed Ness on the 1960s TV series The Untouchables and, in the opening salvo to the story, talked about what he'd learned about Ness' character through his work on the series. The original episode as seen on NBC also featured a short clip of Stack playing Ness on The Untouchables, which was cut from the version currently available for viewing online, probably for copyright reasons.

Also, several people at her job reported that she didn't show up for work for nearly a week and even a friend of hers tried to call her (only for the operator to say that the phone was off the receiver), went to her apartment and banged on the door for, in his words, 45 minutes.

Many of these stories mentioned curious things that could not be easily explained away - for example, the lack of an "undersketch" on the portrait of the Virgin Mary on Juan Diego's tilma (which would likely have existed if the portrait had been painted by human hands). On the other hand, it was mentioned that it had been determined that the Shroud of Turin was not old enough to have been the burial garment of Christ. The story of the West Side Baptist Church choir, whose 15 members escaped a fiery death when they were all late for practice (the church exploded due to a faulty furnace within minutes of when rehearsal would have begun). To this day, they are all convinced that this was due to Divine Intervention.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_ce389717	comment	Harassing Phone Call: Exaggerated with the Bashir Kouchacji story - during the 1980s, the Washington restaurateur was getting up to 20 harassing and threatening phone calls a day, some of which seemed to have been made by a child, and theorized the calls may have had something to do with his abduction and brief imprisonment by the PLO while in Lebanon. Even after checking himself into a mental hospital to escape the harassment, the callers were still able to reach him in the hospital. To make matters worse, Bashir's son was attacked by unknown assailants, and Bashir himself nearly escaped death when his car was set on fire. The perpetrators of this harassment have never been caught. In some stories, relatives and loved ones of missing or deceased persons were subjected to this. One in the case of Patsy Wright, a Texas woman who died after ingesting tainted cold medicine in 1987, was particularly cruel: it was answered by the victim's teenage daughter the day after Wright's death, and the caller, upon being told that Wright had passed away, replied that she was glad to hear that.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_d397657d	comment	The bizarre story of Clarence Roberts of Nashville, Indiana, may be an extreme example. A body found burned to death on a fire on his property in 1970 was identified as Roberts. Ten years later, a body found in a second fire in which the Roberts residence was destroyed was also identified as Clarence Roberts. This second fire, determined to be arson, also killed Roberts' wife, Geneva. Roberts had been in substantial debt in 1970, and many in Nashville believe he murdered a transient and planted the transient's body in the first fire so he could disappear and his wife could collect on his life insurance (the scheme failed because they were unable to prove Clarence was in fact dead). Investigators believe Roberts set the second fire deliberately to murder his own wife and ended up killing himself accidentally, but some believe he faked his death a second time.

Jeanne Fretel suffered from tubercular peritonitis and was near death when her friends brought her to Lourdes; after taking Communion and visiting the grotto where Bernadette's vision occurred, she completely recovered,note Most of the healings officially declared "inexplicable" by the Lourdes Bureau, a team of doctors made up of believers and atheists/agnostics, happen during or after the daily Blessing of the Eucharist ceremony and not after bathing or drinking from the spring. and her case was officially declared a miracle by the Vatican. Pennsylvania teenager Lorraine Echevarria was stricken with a strange illness that made her so weak she could not lift her head and caused her kidneys to fail. After having some water from the baths at Lourdes poured over her head, she, too, recovered, although the Catholic Church has not declared Lorraine's story a miracle since she was not examined by physicians afterward. Mike Emert's killer was believed to be this. He was to show a house to a potential buyer—he was a successful real-estate agent—and although he was said to be an older man who had a limp and walked with a cane, investigators theorized that it was a disguise and his "cane" was actually a sword cane he used to stab him to death.

This second fire, determined to be arson, also killed Roberts' wife, Geneva. Roberts had been in substantial debt in 1970, and many in Nashville believe he murdered a transient and planted the transient's body in the first fire so he could disappear and his wife could collect on his life insurance (the scheme failed because they were unable to prove Clarence was in fact dead). Investigators believe Roberts set the second fire deliberately to murder his own wife and ended up killing himself accidentally, but some believe he faked his death a second time. There have been several other stories about missing persons believed to have faked their death to escape prosecution for a crime they've been accused of. Robert Arcieri, alleged to have masterminded armed robberies and attempted murder against his friends and business partners, was captured - alive and well - 24 years after he supposedly had a heart attack and drowned, and served six years in prison. Corrupt Cop Charles Mule left his car on a bridge to make investigators think he'd jumped to his death, but was later spotted in the wilds of Louisiana and eventually captured in Florida. Partially subverted with Adam and Elena Emery, who were initially thought to have staged their own suicides after Adam's conviction for the 1990 murder of Jason Bass. Elena was subsequently confirmed dead when her skull was discovered. However, no trace of Adam has ever been found. He was declared legally dead in 2004, but placed back on the FBI wanted list six years later.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_f9c77812	comment	Childhood Brain Damage: Teenager Jennifer Pratt, an aspiring model, sustained a nearly fatal blow to the head in 1987 that authorities believe was probably meant for her drug-dealer boyfriend, Curtis Croft. She miraculously survived after months in a coma, but was left with permanent brain damage, which noticeably affected her motor skills and speech, as was evident during her interview. Frustratingly, several of Jenny's classmates believed they knew who was responsible but were unwilling to name names, and Curtis Croft himself was uncooperative. Not helping matters was Jenny's mother, who instead of being grateful that her daughter was still alive, only mourned the loss of the "old" Jenny and seemed to imply that Jenny would have been better off dead than disabled.

Unsolved Mysteries / int_fc1ee7d5	comment	Deadly Doctor: Dr. Boggs, a California doctor who was convicted of murdering and deliberately misidentifying a man so a confederate — whose identity Boggs falsely assigned to the victim — could collect on his own life insurance policy. Perhaps the most infamous example profiled on the show is Michael Swango, who may have been responsible for as many as 60 poisoning deaths (although he only confessed to four) - both patients and coworkers - in both the U.S. and Zimbabwe. Sadly, many of those deaths could have been prevented - despite several suspicious deaths under his watch at Ohio State, the university opted to let his residency expire quietly rather than investigate thoroughly, and he continued to find work in the medical field for more than a decade afterward, despite the clouds of suspicion that followed him. He is now serving life without parole.
