Creeps, perms, synths & Robert Stack: the Unsolved Mysteries thread

Oh and here’s the Salem News investigative story about Lena https://www.thesalemnewsonline.com/news/article_5c50244a-da37-11e5-9200-33fc9d2ba192.html

Literally just finished Lena episode one minute ago

Fucccccck
God dammit

Brandi and robin are heroic

completely

Just watched all of these. Some of the policework seems a little lackadaisical to say the least. In the first one where he speculates whether the guy could have jumped that far from the roof, idk maybe try and work it out, it's not that hard. And did they examine debris in the room to see if it was caused by him falling through or not? Maybe they did, maybe they didn't, would be nice to know. Seems even worse in the case of Lena: two missing person cases, one if not both of them probably murder with a prime suspect and they seemingly don't bother to forensically examine either of her properties? And what's all the stuff about people "lawyering up"? Can they not be interviewed anyway - is it a crime to refuse to cooperate in a murder investigation?

🚨season 2 now up on Netfllix🚨

😃

:D

there’s an episode about ghost sightings from the 2011 tsunami in japan & man, it is so haunting & sad

oh man i have read about that case
too sad

welp i finished the whole season LOL

ama?

are there still idiot cops

yes!

will watch

the norwegian investigator dude in the oslo hotel suicide episode has to be a cousin of lars ulrich's, there's no way he's not

lol

first one, sad story but not much mystery.

second one, lot of reaching going on here.

watching the original series, a little way into s2

in the roswell incident section, the group of folks who allegedly found the alien bodies -- a soil scientist and a team fresh from a local archeological dig -- are mostly kitted out with pith helmets, a detail that seems to be pure goofy invention (they say these ppl have never been tracked down identified or interviewed)

also i watched an eye-rollingly boring section on the wooden crucified jesus in a philadelphia church that may or may have closed its eyes (it as not declared an official miracle)

reminds me of the icon that is supposedly hanging on the wall of a church somewhere without any actual physical means of support. of course you can't actually look behind it.

the truth is back there

actor playing rudolf hess wearing immense stick-on black bushy eyebrows

My intro to the dude.

i guess the story is abt doubles so maybe this is realism and the guy pretending to be rudolf hess also wore fake eyebrows

section on crop circles lol

"circle investigator/dowser" uh-huh

(i was interrupted watching this bit yesterday)

"you just can't believe it"

you're a dowser!!

strand on reincarnation:

"i don't buy the reincarnation but she has some kind of power, some power of knowing what happened in the past. i don't know what the power would be but she has it"

"under ordinary circumstances we would not film a recreation of the murder of a united states senator"

ok so this lady's "supernatural power" is sticking gold foil to her face

who am i to scoff

"here we have something which is a medical marvel"

watching a segment on amelia earhart: typed "was amelia earhart — " into google for an update on whether or not a body was ever found at which point google offered me two completed questions

i: "was amelia earhart a lesbian?"
ii: "was amelia earhart eaten by crabs?"

unsolved mysteries answers neither of these qeries

john wilkes booth yet lives

the actor playing the corpse has a very fake mustache

Just watched that one a couple of weeks ago, ha

alamo edn, but it's abt buried treasure in an old well and whether or not davey crockett (= king of the wild frontier) surrendered

update: there was no buried treasure

The Mary Ellen Perez case gets me: single mom in Carter-era America goes to bar in Louisiana, gets kidnapped by man + wife who both come on to her, probably kill her.

*Mary Ann Perez

the real unsolved mystery is why would mothman move to chicago in the first place

most interesting aspect of this ep was that it was very much promoting a think-i-too-saw-mothman support group

questions not answered: was spring-heeled jack a mothman?

evidence:
— red eyes ✅
— powerful ability to move vertically ✅
— everyone sighting SHJ just ludicrously and unreasonably frightened ✅

mothman is such a least-effort-possible mystery

my god, the Charles Holden story in Season Seven. Guy goes to Hardees for a late snack, picks up a hitchhiker who threatens him with a nife, gets away from the hitchhiker but doesn't go home for fear of leading the hitchhiker there. About a half hour later he eventually drives home and to his astonishment spots the hitchhiker walking to his house where Holden's old mom lives -- pure coincidence. Stabs her to death.

holy shit

I am in a house with 'Samsung TV'. I don't quite understand why it would happen, but if you've bought a newish Samsung TV you get a bunch of channels playing one show non-stop. https://www.samsung.com/au/tvs/smart-tv/samsung-tv-plus/all-channels/

There's an Unsolved Mysteries channel. Got into a guy who found his 'Bigger Brother' a few decades later and it was quite heartwarming. And the whole time there's Robert Stack in a scary house and a trenchcoat.

ok Mr Samsung

i love that story

the long-lost (xyz) stories always get me

kind of hate the ghost ones the most because it is such a poor use of robert stack, and i can go either way in buried treasure

but any of the rest of the real idk human stories, almost always good/great/devastating
