Netflix Original Series Unsolved Mysteries

They couldn't reanimate Robert Stack, but they knew better than to mess with the theme.

Perhaps YOU may be able to help solve a mystery.

So when does this premiere?

This is cool, the Oracle here on DL could maybe help. and maybe a few others from DL who are sensitive.

We solved the Soft-Butch Sous-Chef. We got this.

[quote]They couldn't reanimate Robert Stack, but they knew better than to mess with the theme.

Well, they didn't reanimate him, but they did include a sillohuette of him in the opening credits.

Really loving it so far. The same creep factor.

I just watched the first two episodes. The husband of the murdered woman in the second episode was creepy as fuck and I really felt sorry for the woman's son.

Robert Stack's voice was the best!

What happened to Rey Rivero?

I don't think there is one, has anyone seen it?

Rey Rivera and his “best friend” Porter ping to high heaven.... there’s definitely more to the story.

Do you think he really took a massive leap off the hotel roof, like Michael Douglas in The Game?

There are videos of Porter online warning about the dangers of socialism. lol

How big was Rey’s Puerto Rican cock?

The stepfather in the second episode is a sociopath.

I don't care what you say OP, they need to find a way to replicate Stack's voice and narration. Is there anyone that sounds like him at the moment?

[quote] Rey Rivera and his “best friend” Porter ping to high heaven.... there’s definitely more to the story.

I only watched a few minutes before work, but the gay was streaming off Rey.

The best friend was definitely suspicious

I couldn't get a handle on Rey. He was very attractive head-on, but his profile was...not.

They should get a narrator. Other than that, I liked it.

Who do you get to narrate, though? Robert Stack was a hard act to follow.

R11 There's no host or narrator.

[quote]The husband of the murdered woman in the second episode was creepy as fuck and I really felt sorry for the woman's son.

Or did you just want to fuck him?

His name is PISTOL? Was his mom kin to the Palins?

I don’t like how each episode is just one long segment.

Who has seen all the episodes? I've only seen the first two so far

So Rey and Porter were a couple, OBVIOUSLY.

Sheesh. I can’t believe the wife and family don’t know this.

When the husband bragged about his degree in criminology what he really meant was "I killed that bitch and those stupid cops will never catch me."

Most people don't remember that Robert Stack wasn't the first host of Unsolved Mysteries. It began as a series of 7 or 8 specials and the original host was Raymond Burr. He was replaced after 4 shows by Karl Malden and then Stack, after which the show was picked up as a weekly series.

This is the first episode with Ray Burr

[quote]I don’t like how each episode is just one long segment.

This sort of bugged me.

I had it on in the background yesterday and it was the French one. I'm fluent so I followed it easily without really watching but it didn't really draw me in. There was nothing mysterious about it.

I felt like Rey might be gay too.

Pistol's real name is Wade.

[quote]I don’t like how each episode is just one long segment.

Jesus Christ, how short is your attention span? The majority of the shows on Investigation Discovery are one story. I mean, I know it's an hour, but Netflix has documentaries that are one story 9 episodes, one hour each.

R37, it wasn’t about attention span as so much a variety of unique stories. I guess in the steaming world I can always choose another episode to watch.

I’m watching the UFO episode and it’s more interesting than the others so far.

That's funny since the UFO episode is the only episode people seem to hate. lol

Actually, I just saw on one of the Unsolved Mysteries groups that people love the UFO episode. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. It's funny how so many people summed up the original show as being all aliens and ghost stories when the show's main focus always seemed to be crime and missing people.

R39, I didn’t say it’s good. I said it’s interesting. I’m not sure what happened but it sounds like mass hallucinations and drugs.

I liked the UFO episode. The UFO stories were some of favorites from the original show like the Allagash Four abduction.

Watched the first episode last night. I wasn’t paying close attention during parts of it. Did they ever trace the mystery phone call Rey Rivera received?

R43 yes it was from Porter’s company

r43, yes, they traced it to the place where he worked. However, they couldn't trace it to a specific extension, so they don't know who he is talking to.

R5 That was classy and why I decided to give it a shot. They didn’t have to honor Stack, but they did. I’ve only watched one episode, the murdered hairdresser. I enjoyed it, and I think the husband did it. I’m looking forward to watching the rest.

Porter hasn't aged well and has gained a bunch of weight. He was hot in the pic in R48.

Google Porter Stansberry and “fag”. Yikes.

He sounds like a real piece of work:

You can totally tell when someone is using the word “fag” in terms of hate, and you can totally tell when someone is using the word “nigger” in terms of joy or friendship. For example, a guy we grew up with -- I don't want to use his name on the radio -- his nickname was nigger.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

[quote]They should get a narrator. Other than that, I liked it.

I'm in a Facebook true crime group and when the reboot was announced last summer, people in the group were suggesting that Dennis Haysbert would be a good narrator. I think he could definitely narrate a true crime docu show.

The sociopathic mother in the sixth episode- holy shit.

I am enjoying it so far. I've read some complaints about the episodes not being segmented and it being more like a docuseries, but I honestly don't mind that. In-depth crime docuseries have become the norm in the last 30 years since Unsolved Mysteries was first airing, and UM really was the genesis of that format. I think they did a nice job of revamping it for a new generation. I was very happy that they kept the original theme song; aside from Stack's voice, that theme is probably the most defining feature of the show. Compared to the repackaged dumpster fire Dennis Farina episodes, the Netflix version is fantastic.

The next six episodes are coming soon. It’s a 12-episode season.

The French murder story is fascinating. How was there no blood? Where is he? He is a lot of things but mostly he is an absolutely brilliant criminal.

I guess I’m remembering a different mystery show, the one with Leonard Nemoy narrating. What was that called?

In Search Of.

That was resurrected with Zachary Quinto a few years back.

R60 Ah, yes, thank you. Where was the Quinto version, did you watch, was it any good?

I still can't fathom how Rey got through such a reinforced roof!

The French one totally creeped me out. The father was too much of a narcissist to kill himself.

[quote][R60] Ah, yes, thank you. Where was the Quinto version, did you watch, was it any good?

History Channel.

It was okay. Quinto has turned following Nimoy into a cottage industry at this point.

R60 That one was before my time. All I remember was Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack, and Rescue 911 with William Shatner. I also loved Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction with Jonathon Frakes, but not the James Brolin season, but it was different.

Rescue 911 was another favorite of mine. There are some episodes up on Youtube.

Does anyone else remember the show Sightings which was mostly about paranormal and UFO stories?

I've had plenty of "married" Puerto Ricans like Rey. The moment the words best friend and move to Baltimore to work with former college fuck buddy/best friend were mentioned together a flash alert of gay gay gay appeared on my screen.

r66, I remember Sightings. I loved it when I was, like, 15

The PR guy isn’t gay.

The first episode was a truly baffling mystery but the rest of the episodes aren’t. That woman killed her daughter - where’s the mystery?

What’s the point of the UFO episode? That mystery can never be solved. Total waste of time.

R69 yes that is my take too - where are the mysteries!

r69, the old Unsolved Mysteries did UFO episodes, too

R71 And those episodes are some of the most remembered and beloved.

He got sent to prison for arson in 2012. I just watched that episode the other day and looked him up.

R69 to be fair, the original Unsolved Mysteries had plenty of stories where it was obvious what happened, but there was a lack of physical evidence to concretely "solve" the mystery, even if it was clear who was responsible. The Charlotte Pollis disappearance in particular rings a bell—it was one of several UM episodes where it was plain as day that one of the interviewee(s) was guilty—in this case, her husband, Paul. They've still never found her body as far as I know.

The original is a classic, with the creepy music and Robert Stack's brilliant narration. The new one of course isn't the same, but it's not bad so far.

The Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès case is pretty much cut-and-dry IMO: He killed his family because he was a narcissist and egomaniac who couldn't handle being exposed as a failure. He did not have the career he projected, he was on the brink of financial ruin, and was obsessed with maintaining a façade that reflected his French aristocratic heritage. It's a perverse tale as old as time: Better to kill the ones you love than bring shame upon them.

The only thing about it that I can't wrap my head around is how there wasn't a trace of blood evidence found in that entire house. They didn't go in-depth in the episode about how extensive the forensic search was, but a simple luminol test would reveal blood even if it had been doused and scrubbed clean with bleach. The abject lack of it is truly bizarre. I also don't recall them mentioning finding any ballistics evidence in the home either—no mention of gunpowder, bullet casings, or holes in the walls or floor that would indicate a gun had been fired. It makes me think that he shot them elsewhere and then returned their bodies to the house to bury them under the terrace.

I hope they do ghost stories in the next batch of episodes. The original UM did a number of those, and they were all very good.

R72 I agree the UFO episodes from the original show were some of my favorites.

I also loved the episode about Resurrection Mary ghost sightings in Chicago.

This case reminded me quite bit of the John List case.

I might be wrong but I think the UFO and supernatural episodes became more common towards the end of the series original run.

R82 There were UFO cases in the early seasons.

[quote]The French murder story is fascinating. How was there no blood? Where is he? He is a lot of things but mostly he is an absolutely brilliant criminal.

Well they did say that they were wrapped up in duvets. I wouldn't be surprised if he placed a pillow over their heads.

I do think he committed suicide. He did a ton of expensive shit before disappearing. He seemed to have the rifle and took photos of the family with him. People aren't found in the wilderness sometimes for years. I was wondering if he poisoned his father hoping to get some money and then found that there wasn't any. The fact that he contacted his son to come back home and then drugged and killed him a day later is so evil. The son was in the house with his entire family dead in the back yard.

[quote]That woman killed her daughter - where’s the mystery?

Where the body of the daughter is located. It's also imperative that this woman be outed so more men don't get involved with her. She is no longer with her boyfriend. Someone might have heard something. Killers have a way of running their mouths. Maybe the boyfriend will turn on her.

R86 I'm glad to see that a lot of people have tuned in to the new season. Hopefully the favorable response means they'll keep making new episodes.

Did they examine the hole on the roof at hotel to see if Rey actually came through it or not?

Well now. This was certainly a trip into Backwater, USA, wasn’t it? A roundup of teen moms hitting the eyeliner too hard, and the camouflaged yokels that love them. Even their babies are dressed camo.

Did Lena just shave off her eyebrows completely and pencil in new ones?

Eyeliner and mascara must come cheap in Appalachia.

[quote][R86] I'm glad to see that a lot of people have tuned in to the new season. Hopefully the favorable response means they'll keep making new episodes.

6 more are already coming.

We know that the woman is capable of burning bodies and scattering the ashes over a large area so that they'll never be discovered. That's what she did to her husband and that's what she did to her daughter. We'll never locate the ashes and she'll never admit to the crimes.

But let's spends thousands of dollars on a re-enactment show anyway.

Ugh! Subtitles?! Are there any more international stories beside the French one?

R90 They are nowhere near Appalachia, hell they aren't even in the Ozarks.

[quote] He killed his family because he was a narcissist and egomaniac who couldn't handle being exposed as a failure.

Quick, someone send a copy of this episode to Trump. You know how easily influenced he is by what he sees on tv.

We'd do better sending him something about John List. This episode would require him to read.

Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès obviously setup a kill zone in the house that he dragged or lured them to, with tarps and plastic wrap etc. hence the lack of blood.

Any chance the Count de Ligonnes was pals with the Count and Countess de Lesseps?

My impression is that they are scraping the bottom of the barrel for crimes that are still available - haven't been done to death.

I watched the first two episodes just fine but on the third one, the one about the count, all of a sudden it has an audio description. And I can’t turn it off. Has this happened to anyone else? And why does Netflix make it such an impossible task to turn it off?

The French family was a very nice looking family.

Wow, I'm surprised nobody oh deared "If you have any information regarding Alonzo Brooks's death, please submit a tip online." at the end of episode 4.

i hated the hillbilly episode with the mom and 6 daughters. the mom just seemed so trashy. hardly worth the episode.

I did like the Chloe Sevingy-looking daughter tho.

R104 I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought she looked like Chloe. They look like they could be sisters. That episode was frustrating as hell, but I was glad to see that all of that evil cunt's children turned on her. I cannot imagine living with knowing that one of my parents killed my sibling and got away with it.

The original Unsolved Mysteries had a lot of "lost loves" episodes and siblings who were separated as children trying to find each other. These stories were always very good because they were so emotional. The UM producers said that those stories are not obsolete because of DNA sites like Ancestry.com, social media and the internet in general.

Those stories are NOW obsolete is what I meant to say.

Damn autocorrect!

[quote]i hated the hillbilly episode with the mom and 6 daughters. the mom just seemed so trashy. hardly worth the episode.

You must be joking. A mother who is literally ready to sacrifice her kids and kill her ex?

[quote]The French family was a very nice looking family.

The eldest (bastard) son had the looks.

R108 And, is now raising the child of the daughter she killed.

The count wasn't bad when he was young. His best friend was a hanger on, clearly, a social climber, and maybe in love with the count when they were young.

R109 I noticed that too. But he was only 20 so I felt bad that I found him kinda hot in one of the pictures. He was the bastard son too so maybe the mom got some good dick while the count was off finding himself. for a year. The little girl was very pretty though.

What do we think of the UFO episode? Could it be explained away as something other than a UFO?

the trouble is, r113, people hear UFO and they automatically think of aliens. It's not. It's simply something that can't be explained. Back in that era all sorts of technology was being made for warfare. We were in the Cold War.

r114 you do have a point. Remember the stealth bomber? It was in development for years and when it was test flown a lot of people thought it was a UFO. It wasn't until the gov't officially made the stealth bomber public information that people knew what it was they actually saw.

Unsolved Mysteries had a REALLY creepy segment about the family that was radiated during a UFO encounter. Doctors couldn't figure out how to treat them and the government had to call them in for questioning. They all became very ill. Only the son who was a child at the time is still alive today and gives the odd interview about it.

Yes! I remember that episode. I remember a Patsy Cline-looking woman getting out of her car and covering her eyes as she looked up at the UFO.

I enjoyed the new episodes. I see that the FBI re-opened the Alonzo Brooks investigation and is offering $100k. I have no doubt that guy was beaten or strangled to death, frozen for a while and then planted.

I couldn't finish the UFO episode. ZZZZZZZZ. When the elderly floozy started describing kids disappearing from some room, I flipped to the next episode.

R113 The one thing that bothers me about the UFO encounter, is how the people said they all had missing time and were in slightly different locations when they awakened. Like the one person saying their grandmother, who never drove, was suddenly behind the steering wheel. The rest of it could be passed off as new technology being tested, but I can't figure that part out.

During the UFO episode, I just kept thinking of this:

I think his friend knows exactly what happened. It was either his friend that called him or someone who said his friend was in trouble and needed him which is why he hurried out so fast. The whole scene was staged. He didn't fall thru that roof. I think they axed through it and then threw something heavy through it to make it look like he fell through. I think it was well planned which means someone had the money to pay experts to carry it out. It had to do with money. Doesn't everything?

In the UFO episode, I laughed at the guys painting. It was so cliché.

The UFO episode. I had never heard of that incident but remember when a couple was driving on RT 3 in NH and said they had been abducted by aliens for a short period of time, This was around the same time period. He was black and she was white which is why I think they dismissed the whole thing as a hoax at the time.

He was hot as hell. Move and write a newsletter for me...and do the things we did after water polò. Duh

R124 That was Betty and Barney Hill.

R116 Didn't the son have cancer later on? IIRC, the grandmother and mother later died of cancer which they always said was the UFO.

One of the memorable UFO segments for me from the original was the one about the Hudson Valley sightings which were seen by various groups of people.

Was the Hudson Valley UFO the triangular one that was all lit up? That was a freaky story.

I think they spent way too long on each “mystery” I lost interest half way through the first episode. They really should have stuck to a similar format as the original with a hot host and 3-4 stories each episode with each being different type of mystery ( missing person, unexplained phenomenon, lost treasure etc)

Rey lived in Baltimore for 8 months before his wife joined him. They were married for two years and in total spent 6 months together.

R128 I think it was triangular. I was a kid when that episode first came out and I remember being freaked out because the segment re-enacted how a man and his kids saw it front of their home. He had a teenage son and two younger daughters and the daughters were freaked out and ran inside the house.

Damn. Pistol was hot as Hell.

The Alonzo episode was the most boring to me. He easily could have gotten in a fight and wondered off and died due to injuries. They made it seem like he was put in a meat locker and then his body dumped, when the medical examiner said he easily could have floated down the creek.

The family has let their emotions form their opinions instead of scientific facts.

TLC has a show called Long Lost Family which is about two private investigator who track down bio parents or other family members. They often use DNA testing to track family members down. Finding Your Roots on PBS had an episode with Tea Leoni. Her mother was adopted and they used DNA testing to track the mother's bio parents.

The 2-4 episodes are so boring and I am out. Nice try Netflix but nothing close to the original.

R130 I've been down a rabbit hole on Reddit about Rey's case. The entire situation is so strange. All we have to go on is the testimony of this mystery woman "Claudia". If she was the wife's colleague, then why was she in the home while the wife was on a business trip? And why didn't the show mention that Rey had purchased the book "Freemasons for Dummies" on the day he died? Such a bizarre story. I believe both mental illness and foul play were involved in his death.

[quote]I think they spent way too long on each “mystery” I lost interest half way through the first episode.

It's not our fault that you have no attention span and are lazy, hon.

[quote]If she was the wife's colleague, then why was she in the home while the wife was on a business trip?

Yeah, I was wondering why she let some young woman stay in the house with her husband.

Rey's injuries are consistent with a car accident. They weren't consistent with a fall. Some have speculated that the entire thing was staged. He was placed in that abandoned building and they made a hole from the incident to make it look like he jumped and crashed through it. The body was already decomposing. They couldn't tell what actually killed him. His feet were the tell-tale signs that he hasn't gone though the roof. Porter sounds like a psychopath. I could easily see him hiring a bunch of goons to murder him.

I love this show.

I'm now obsessed with Pistol Black. I want to comfort him. I can make him feel better.

Pistol is hot but very damaged (who wouldn’t be?)

Maybe Pistol can do Playgirl ala Levi

[quote][R116] Didn't the son have cancer later on? IIRC, the grandmother and mother later died of cancer which they always said was the UFO.

The Cash-Landrum UFO was a hoax they cooked up to sue the government.

Does anyone else remember the episode opining that Jesus might have built a spiral staircase for a convent of California (?) nuns?

I hope they delve more into supernatural stuff in future episodes. Those stories were always good.

"Rey's injuries are consistent with a car accident. They weren't consistent with a fall. Some have speculated that the entire thing was staged."

Why the hell would they stage it to make it look like a fall if he died in a car accident? Why exactly would they smuggle a 230 pound man onto the roof and then make a hole in the roof?

R144 That was the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, NM. The chapel has been used in several movies and shows that were filmed in NM.

[quote][R144] That was the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, NM. The chapel has been used in several movies and shows that were filmed in NM.

But was it Jesus or not?

Pistol has such a deep voice from smoking 5 packs of cigarettes a day.

Pistol is very cute–like a rough trade Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It was really sad watching him cry on camera about his mother. I wanted to give him a hug.

So which one of these “mysteries” will get solved from this show?

I've only watched the first two episodes so far, but I'm ashamed of myself for thinking that Patrice's husband seemed sincere and loving at first. It's amazing what they can do with careful editing. I should have learned my lesson from the episodes "Real Housewives" that I've watched. That business with the bones at the funeral home was totally sicko. And to lock your stepson out of the house the day his mother disappears and never letting him back in to get his stuff or anything of his mother's?

[quote] But was it Jesus or not?

I'm Jesus and it wasn't me! I swear!

[quote]So which one of these “mysteries” will get solved from this show?

Alonzo Brooks, the black guy who went to a party in skinhead country and ended up dead in a ravine. It seems like a lot of people know what happened but no one's talking (yet).

[quote] Legend says that the builder appeared after nine days of prayer and disappeared after completing the task with no pay or thanks. This led the sisters to speculate that the builder was St. Joseph himself. However, in the early 2000s, historian Mary Jean Cook identified Francois Jean or “Frenchy” Rochas as the probable carpenter. He came to New Mexico from France around the 1870s and was a reclusive rancher and occasional carpenter. A key piece of evidence is an entry in the Sister’s logbook of a $150 payment made to Rochas for wood indicating he had done some work for them. Also, at the time of his death, it was reported that he owned an extensive set of carpentry tools.

R149 I don't know how anyone, especially believers, could believe that Christ would come back to earth just to build a staircase for a group of nuns. All the horrible and important events that have taken place since the crucifixion and Christ was like I can't be bothered, but a bunch of nun's need a staircase so let me get my carpenter tools back out.

See above--it was theoretically St. Joseph, not Jesus.

R158 Still unbelievable even for the devout.

Yes, I agree with your reasoning. Same as The Lord's putative involvement in various sports victories.

Sorry I meant nuns not nun's.

R57, I mean, nun; the word says it.

[quote]So which one of these “mysteries” will get solved from this show?

I'm guessing the French guy will be located in some South American country.

An 'Unsolved Mysteries' Viewer May Have Found Big Clue in Rey Rivera Letter

A person on the UM Reddit claims their sister's cousin went out with Porter two weeks ago. They all can't believe this shit.

Does anyone get fundie vibes from Rey and his wife? The church shit and then his best friend being a Right-wing racist slob?

R164 I already made that connection in this thread. R-12 Where’s my Newsweek article?

Not really; I feel as though they would have mentioned Jesus and the Lord and their Faith sustaining them more if they were fundies.

I saw the ufo episode , it wasn’t that great. Those people asked why they would make this all up? Attention and it’s got your hillbilly asses on a netflix tv show!

R169 Berkshire has hills but they aren't hillbillies. Do you think that if someone lives more than 10 miles from a Whole Foods they are a hillbilly?

Looking at the UFO episode, it was obvious those people were not hillbillies. They were all clearly articulate and very "New England" in a middle/upper middle class kind of way.

Seems credible leads have been submitted. Not much more than that in the article at the link, but if you're interested...

I wonder what that kid is thinking about his grandmother now.

What if she threatened the grandson, he goes to the cops with the story and gets put behind bars?

Why would the grandson be arrested?

I hope they do the mysterious disappearance of Carole Baskin’s second husband as one of upcoming six episodes.

One of the cases is being reopened due to the series.

The Alonzo episode was weird--the show referenced a lot of online chatter about the case but the producers didn't interview anyone who was at the party that night other than Alonzo's friends. Did the producers even try to interview anyone in that backwater shithole town? Did everyone refuse to talk to the producers? Did they even try to interview the guys who were renting the house the night of the party? That's an unsolved mystery.

I hope they’re starting to film the Naya Rivera episode as we speak, with Selena Gomez making her comeback to acting portraying her in the dramatic re-enactments.

Turns out the Alonzo case was reopened a year ago. What they announced right before the show aired was that they were offering a reward for the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible.

Was Alonzo available for rent? If so, I've solved it

They really should be live streaming the Naya Rivera Story from Lake Piru.

I bet the son killed Naya.

It was The Clintons! Killary killed her!

R187, she did date Mark Salling—who was into child porn and had a staged suicide before he named names of high up Democrats who trade, rape, kill and eat babies. So the Dems must have killed her too!

Did you see those dramatized scenes in the Rey episode? He was wearing track pants and flip-flops. Bitch was NOT gay.

R69 I agree with you on both counts. Rey wasn't gay, and the UFO episode, while fucking creepy, seemed pointless.

Boring as hell as there are too many dull talking heads in the series.

R191 the “ mysteries” are not that interesting either and an hour on each one is way too fucking long.

R192 has no attention span.

The only first one is mystery, the rest is not. Where the body is , is not the mystery. There are a tons "mysteries "like that.

Raya saying at the beginning of the show that he is excited before wedding...well I wouldnt call that being excited.

Robert Stack added a lot of personality to the show and of course made it somewhat campy though I can't say that he's missed in this reboot.

Of course, if they wanted a narrator, they'd have to hire that OOT white-haired guy from Dateline (if he's still alive), Keith Morrison.

The UPS guy wants to jump my bones!

R190 When I watched the Roswell segment (starts at19:50 in this video below) in reruns of the original it stuck with me and scared me. This new one was so lame and boring in comparison.

New series sucks. More interesting to watch the original series on YouTube and finding out which ones had been solved by 2017 and which ones were still unsolved.

I tried to watch the classic episodes on Amazon Prime and it sucks that a lot of the cases have been edited out for legal reasons. I don't care about the heartwarming lost loves segments!!! So disappointing.

[quote][R104] I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought she looked like Chloe

I thought she was a LOT prettier than Chloe.

Did that woman's pack of daughters have different fathers? Lena and Robin (the one of the tattoos) had similar faces, but Brandi/Chloe didn't look like either of them or their mother.

Also, Lena's actual name was Liehnia? The fresh hell?

I also thought she was much pretttier than Chloe

when does the 2nd half drop?

New Unsolved Mysteries Xavier DuPont footage reveals link to past murders

Could Xavier DuPont's Unsolved Mysteries puzzle be solved? Another case with eerie similarities gives hope

A man in Chicago who had just seen the DuPont episode was out and about when he heard a man speaking French (with a French accent) and was shocked at how much he resembled DuPont. He surreptitiously took a pic and forwarded it to UM, who then sent it to the police.

Could that fucker really still be alive after slaughtering his family?

Well now he knows to get the hell out of Chicago.

Those stupid bastards! And what about that bitch sandy? She killed several,

No R88 /Rose. That never occurred to them.

Lena’s mom — what a cunt!

The 13 Minutes one about the hairdresser who disappeared wasn't very captivating.

Just saw the Alonzo Brooks episode. What a lovely little town Lacygne, Kansas sounds like. Hard to imagine hellholes like that exist.

I liked the Rey Rivera one

I want to solve that Rey mystery

Episode 1 was the most compelling.

[quote]This case reminded me quite bit of the John List case.

If anything the List case was even creepier; just no longer a mystery since the father was later found to have remarried and moved to (where else?) Florida.

Where's the second half of season one? We want more episodes!

This book covers everything (including the possible gay angle) you might want to know about the Rey Rivera case. I wonder why the author wasn't interviewed during that particular episode.

Never addressed in the Rey episode is if they tried to find out if he knew anyone living in the building (which I take it was a hotel turned condo) that would explain why he chose it and knew he could get up on the roof.

And the interviewee with the extreme Karen hair made me laugh in the Pistol episode. Maybe she’s keeping her hair frozen in 2004 style as an homage to the dead hairdresser.

r221, that book is really good

R222 Was she the one who was smiling most of the time when recounting the tragic death of her hairstylist friend?

R222, they traced the call to his business. Someone lured him there. No one is talking.

Yes, the call came from his business, but that doesn't mean he was "lured" there

R226, are you retarded? He received a call, had to run out to meet them and then ends up dead. No one will talk (or is allowed to) to help get to the bottom of who actually called him. Put two and two together. It’s beyond obvious. He’s injuries were also consistent not with a fall but from a car accident.

r227, are you retarded? No one knows what the call was about. It's not true that his injuries weren't consistent with a fall, either. The idea that it was staged makes no sense. Why not just bury his body in the woods somewhere instead of dragging it into a hotel, making a huge hole in the roof of the hotel, putting his flip flops on the roof, etc

Rey received the call and abruptly left the house at around 6:30pm. He was heard coming thru the roof at the Belvedere at 10pm. What happened during those missing hours? He wasn't seen by anyone. I hope a witness comes forward. I want to see this one solved.

Did they release Rey's autopsy?

The Alonzo Brooks episode was the most compelling one for me.

Alonzo Brooks is being exhumed

R232, good. There was something very off about that small Kansas town's investigation.

[R221] the author of the Rey Rivera book Mikita Brottman did a Reddit AMA after the UM segment and she says she WAS interviewed extensively by the show then was told they weren't going to use any of her footage. She seems to feel that's because the show was spinning the story to go with the murder theory--she leans toward it being suicide after a psychotic break of some sort.

I'm just reading her book now, I took it out of the library as soon as I read her reddit AMA (which I recommend looking up if you're very interested in the case, she posted some informative stuff.)

thats amazing when it happned there were some oxford university psychologist and a writer in a hotel.

R234 your library is open?

R237 Yes it's open for pickup and returns only as of now. Computers and printers arent accessible yet and all programs are cancelled through the summer. I was able to order the book I wanted through their website and they let me know when it was ready. Thank GOD because I'd be going broke buying all the books I want!

Ours are open now and there are e-books as well ..

Six new episodes coming October 19th, just in time for Halloween.

Half of DL thinks all men are gay.

Accurate?

Do you really want Donald Trump to be gay?

R241 that’s hardly a mystery

I watched a couple of the new episodes tonight.

I started with the woman who died in a hotel in Oslo. I thought it sounded like another Isdal Woman story, actually, it wasn't that interesting. It felt like it would've been a better story in the old format, where they could devote just 15 minutes to it. Here they seemed to be stretching it out.

Then I saw the missing Harlem children. Broke my heart. I knew this story vaguely already, but reading it online isn't the same as seeing the mothers falling to pieces on TV. This really is horrific, and I just hope that maybe one day they will find that they are still alive and have come looking for their real mothers after being given to other families, just like that one girl who was stolen from the hospital.

I was never callous before, but now that I have two nephews around the ages of those children, I feel like I get more emotional about stuff like this.
