Also I was mentally recovering from Squid Game. Let me know any thoughts on this mini-mystery format and I'll see you next time :D

The Joanna Lopez segment feels like something straight out of an analog horror video lmao

There’s been a couple of updates to the Joanna Lopez case. - Another missing persons poster was aired on WMAQ for a missing girl named Tricia Kellett a few years prior, proving that Joanna is NOT a hoax or a one time thing. - A moderator in the subreddit dedicated to finding Joanna Lopez contacted a woman by the same name in Chicago. She confirmed that she ran away from home in the late 80s. No further contact has been achieved yet.

Whoever designed that Joanna Lopez slide back in the 80’s was a menace they knew they were gonna scare the piss out of thousands of people, imagine falling asleep and waking up at like 2 am and seeing that I’d literally run out of my house

It's weird, I can normally watch horror movies without batting an eye, but seeing that image of Joanna chilled me to the bone. All I can imagine is watching this broadcast on TV and suddenly that pops up on the screen. The worst part is I'd be too scared to move and change the channel, so I'd just be sitting there terrified, praying it would go away.

i wont lie, the first entry with the missing woman scared me on a primal level

That image is actually really chilling to me, probably the image quality and the lack of detail to it, kinda like when you take a picture of an animal at night and their eyes are just... glowing. That vibe.

imagine falling asleep while watching tv and waking up to that still image staring at you

The marine that rings the bell on the station sign-off was my uncle. My grandparents would make us stay up late to see uncle Rick on the television. Ahh.. simpler times.

The Joanna thing is so offputting and genuinely creepy it feels like an ARG or another horror series

I think stark still images on TV accompanied by no music traumatize a lot of people cuz they just seem so serious and impersonal. When I was around 5, I watched a lot of PBS and Teletubbies was a popular show, and there was some live event called “Teletubby play day” that the network was hyping up for what seemed like weeks. One day they just broadcast a still graphic for a few seconds, with no music bed, and a deep male voice-over said “Teletubby Play Day has been cancelled” in a very firm tone. I didn’t expect to go to it and it was the fucking *Teletubbies*, but it was quite frightening the way they did it. I think it changed me.

HOLY BALLS! The Joanna Lopez mystery is legit the American version of Selena Delgao Lopez. A mysterious missing person, with a bizzare photo, no records anywhere and who just appeared on tv one day as a missing person. This is freaky!

I hate late night Amber Alerts and broadcast interruptions already, so the Missing Person genuinely terrifies me to the point of my eyes watering.

Weird how similar is the Joanna Lopez's legend for Chicago as the legend of "Selene Delgado" in Mexico, which appeared in Televisa Canal 5 around 2001. Some think is a Jane Doe case or even an invention by someone in charge at the Police office or the Channel, as her last name "Delgado" means "Slim", the name of the network owner, Carlos Slim

I've been pretty thoroughly desensitized to creepy stuff i see on RU-vid but that missing persons clip made me feel a level of unease I haven't felt in a looong time god damn

The fact that Johanna Lopez’s name is literally a feminine form of ‘John’ and a very common Spanish surname makes me think that she isn’t real, and is simply an amalgamated placeholder for the missing persons system. With the low quality image and the phone number going straight to the police, I think someone at the station accidentally triggered the placeholder to go up overnight.

Staring at the Jane Doe thinking something isn’t right than realizing I’m staring at the photo of a corpse is a weird realization

it’s always a wonderful day when blameitonjorge posts

i bet that missing person’s case has a boring explanation- it just seems like a test for a system that was left on or triggered on accident… for it to be such a low quality image without a real name seems like they were trying to purposefully leave out details. i know some news networks for instance have canned obits for celebrities on hand in case someone croaks

600,000 people go missing every year. 596,000 are located fairly quickly, most alive and well, some are found injured or dead. ONLY about 4,000 missing persons *remain* missing each year. And, yes, a missing persons' poster *can* and *does* appear on TV by accident all the time. The image and text looks like just like a placeholder graphic that was in use in the late 1980s when I worked at a local TV network. I wasn't in the Chicago area, but the image is *identical* the only difference is the phone number to call. It was replaced with a phone number of the police department in my area. The name on the image was also different. At the station I worked at the name used was "Joanna Dean." Joanna Dean was the house name used for unknown women, Jonathan Dean for unknown men. Jane and John Doe was reserved for news stories with unknown people found by police, so we couldn't use that name. I really think that someone at head end switched to the placeholder graphic accidentally and it wasn't caught through the whole night the first time. Someone did catch it the second time and pulled it after ten seconds.

That’s missing persons add was the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen. That image is haunting and the fact it was on screen for hours with no noise is horrifying

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the Joanna Lopez thing was just some tech at the channel fucking with people.

jorge's entire life is funded by murder mystery games

Ever since Local 58, hearing The Star-Spangled Banner always puts me on edge

I really want to hear the perspective of someone who actually witnessed the Joanna incident live. It probably would have traumatised them for life

“With spooky season approaching” *Skeleton begins dancing* This is gonna be a good video

Honestly, I think the reason Frank Sinatra didn’t have his “Boys” “break their legs” was prob because he maybe wanted them to live in fear for the rest of their lives. This was a man who in his late 70s told Mia Farrow that, if she wanted him to, could’ve have Woody Allen Murdered. He def had pull to have someone wind up in the bottom of a lake with cement shoes If I messed with Frank Sinatra, you know I’d be looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life That or the dude maybe was just grateful to have his son back and all and didn’t want to focus on revenge Idk

The fact that we’re all so terrified by the first entry is making me wonder if horror really isn’t that subjective

Maybe I'm weird, but I think there is something surprisingly sweet about Sinatra being buried with dimes in his pocket. Like it's a nice final nod to an old friend.

Nothing like a static low-res black and white photo of an unknown woman with no sound or music to give me the heebie jeebies for the rest of the evening. I really dig this video format by the way. This and the two lost media files videos are great for these smaller stories which are really fascinating but have limited information on them

Just what I need while on a drawing spree tysm Jorge

The case of Joanna López reminds me a LOT of Selene Delgado López, even her surname is the same, she was a girl who got lost and they put her photo on TV in the local community service, and just like in this case, people think she never existed. You should look into it. It's really interesting.

That missing person's broadcast was genuinely one of the most terrifying things I've seen in a long time.

I've honestly enjoyed the transition to true crime and these mini-documentaries.

Blameitonjorge in October not only feels appropriate, but just right for the chills.

Looking at the next time "Joanna" appeared again she seems to be wearing some big sunglasses on her eyes even if you have a photo editing tool that can lighten or sharpen up the image. Very odd choice whoever got the image up would just have an image showing her eyes and facial features, but all obscured and hard to tell with the sunglasses on her eyes and the low-quality image. Ngl I would be unsettled if an image like that appeared late at night staring and staying like that till the news came back on in the morning. Thank goodness we have at least late-night programming, early morning news, and reruns of shows and news from earlier in the day.

I had to stop eating my lunch when the photo of that missing woman came up, my eyes started to water... idk, it was so uncanny. it's insane how people can just disappear on this earth and never be seen again. stay safe everybody.

I wonder if the Joanna Lopez title card that was broadcasted could be like an example graphic used for like training or testing purposes at the network. The two times it was broadcasted could have been some kind of mistake where they accidentally left the graphic on, that might explain why the second time it cut off abruptly, they realized they made the same mistake twice. This could explain why the graphic is missing so much info, and why Joanna Lopez is a name that doesn't match up with anyone, whoever made the dummy graphic just made the name up on the spot.

Imagine how easy it is to troll people as an transmission operator at a TV station. :)

The other two were nothing compared to Joanna Lopez. Something about that one just gave me chills. Everything about it combined makes it so creepy, the eerie image, the lack of information, the silence, and how long it stayed

My theory on the Joanna Lopez thing is that she was a runaway who's family never followed up with a proper police report. That explains why there's no official report or missing persons file. Sad.

Thinking about this first story and how if this came on your screen late at night and you just happened to leave it on for too long, this image could be burned into your TV screen. You would see it every time the screen was blank.

The photo of Joanna might haunt me for a while P.S. I really really like this format!!

It's real life stories and events that get me scared. Not horror movies or even scary games. This is what scares me...reality

I’m one of those people that scare easy but I still always find myself drawn to these types of videos, I think it’s just the way people like Jorge, Nexpo and Reignbot stylise it

I Find The Photo to be absolutely terrifying, that is something I wouldn't want to see on my TV during the middle of the night on a weekend. Those white eyes stare into your soul.

Hi, Jorge. I vote "yes" for more videos of this type...shorter mysteries presented 3 or 4 at a time to make one longer video. I really enjoyed this video.

The 1st one was horrifying. Can't even fathom how her family must've felt. So, so many people go missing daily, or justice is not given to their killers or just shipped alive. And if one thinks about it for a while, it can make somebody go insane. Probably that's somewhat the family feels? i wish peace upon them, their family and all the victims around the world.

I love the "They stopped the kidnappers to quiz them." at 16:11 Like i can just imagine- *Kidnapper, getting pulled over:* yes officer? *Cop:* what is the capital of arkansas?

I’m so happy Jorge is posting more frequently now. He’s one of my favorites and it’s always a joy to see him post a video.

Joanna Lopez reminds me of the Selene Delgado mystery and coincidentally they are both broadcasted in a channel with the number 5. And the fact that both could probably not even be a real person.

Back in the 80s and 90s, it was pretty common for shows to randomly have the bar graph or cut off when a program ended or random stuff show up. I remember staying up as a kid and would randomly see people selling products and it just cuts off to the bar graph and noise before going black. I assume that Lopez was a missing person and someone or someone at the station knew she was missing and wanted to help out but resources/money/etc. ran out since a lot of missing people families don't have a lot of resources/etc.

The Joanna Lopez one is too scary man its just too scary just hy looking at the image is just pure scary im 100% sure that im traumatized for life if i saw that as a kid man

I've always wondered what it would be like if you were one of the missing people in these videos and you happened to stumble across it on a whim, like how would that feel

I usually don’t get scared by stuff in horror related stuff, but once in a while I see something that does something to me. The picture of Joanna is one of the things.

I thought about what if you left that missing persons image on all night and when you changed the channel the image was burned into the tv for a while like a lot of flatscreens do, that would just add to the creepiness

The fact that the first image of Joanna stayed on screen for 7 hours in the silence is so creepy.

The Joanna Lopez's photo is so uncanny and off-putting, that it absolutely caught me off guard

for some reason, im... really not satisfied with the arg/mistake/troll angle of the Joanna Lopez case. Occams razor and all, but theres just. something off about it. 1) if it was to scare people staying up late, why did it only happen twice? years apart? also why was one all night and the other 2 seconds 2) from the evidence gathered and what i understand, the joanna lopez case or even anything else to do with the broadcast have never been followed up on, killing any idea for arg. it was on at the end of broadcast on a local chicago tv station, i dont think thats an ideal place or time to play games with people. 2) ive seen someone say it could have been a mistake or some kinda testing card accidentally turned on. okay, so: why would they use a missing persons poster? why have the number to the chicago police youth division? usually these things have some sort of text or announcement that it was a mistake or a test. none of that happened. theres something off about the photo apart from the obvious. something tells me the answer lies in the origin of the photo.

Sadly, a case like Johanna is extremely common in the Chicago area, usually left in an ally naked usually means she was assaulted by a gang. Though they usually dispose of the body in the sewers or in Lake Michigan so either it was sloppy or the person for people who did it knew that she couldn’t be identified.

I'm sticking with the theory that Joanna Lopez was a test slide that was left on all night by accident. That would explain why there's so little information about her. The person in the photo probably isn't even named "Joanna Lopez." I feel this would also explain why the second occurrence was replaced with SMPTE bars, perhaps someone at the station caught the error and pulled it off the air. Just a theory though, it's still an unnerving photo to be staring you down at 3am.

The Joanna Lopez thing reminds me of a guy I knew when I was working at a bank. He would come in once a month or so to do his banking and get a few copies of a beaten up DIY missing person poster. This thing was a copy of a copy of a copy and the photo on it was impossible to decipher, with the name and phone number not much better. I guess he’d been doing it for years and I think he said at one point that the police didn’t consider the guy missing anymore (something like they’d gotten in contact with him and he didn’t want to be found, maybe?); it was all just really sad. It kind of makes me wonder if Joanna could have been something a little similar, like maybe she wasn’t officially considered missing but one person was still trying to find her, and only had the one photo to go on? Definitely doesn’t explain the timing of the broadcasts though.

just got out of class and you best believe I’m about to sit on the side of the hall and watch this while eating chips.

lol. looks like a "stock footage" tape to me. something you would get/prepare for your low budged tv station containing you station's logo animation, the national anthem, a missing person place holder and a test signal. looks like the tape is just running out till its end after the logo while the director/editor has already left the control room at the end of their shift.

The Joanna Lopez picture is a lot less scary when you consider thats she's wearing big sunglasses. the white near the eyes is the light reflecting.

Re: Sinatra's son: I would believe that the police were just incompetent before they were accomplices

In this age of 24 hour news coverage, the thought of something coming on *after the news has finished* is so odd. I can’t believe I was even born at a time (‘95) when you couldn’t just turn the channel over to the news whenever you want or access it immediately online 🤷🏻‍♀️

That Joanna still image has got to be the most unsettling thing I’ve ever seen in my life. No sound, no info on the missing person, just her staring at you for hours. Truly nightmare fuel

Great video! Especially the Joanna segment. A video cutting to a still image with no audio is so much scarier than any jumpscare, to me, at least; It's just- dead silent. Nothing. Nothing _meant_ to make you jump. Nothing to accompany the video. And the fact that it stayed like that for _hours_ the first time? I would've shut it off after a couple seconds.

Loving these smaller mysteries that are informative but vague enough so that people will want to research on their own. Definitely would love to see more radio/televised mysteries since theyre so localized that you also get a bit of geographical history along with it and put a small town/village/city on the map.

the Joanna Lopez mystery has fascinated me for so long, amazing to see it covered here!

I like how we found the Joanna Lopez pic scary now, but back then people in the 70's had to see this for hours and were probably like "OH THIS FUCKING LADY AGAIN"

One other possibility on the Joanna Lopez case: It may have been someone doing research for a grad degree in some area of criminology (Psychology, Statistics, Social Work, etc). At that time, research was definitely happening on forensic drawings with exaggerated features to get more leads. (IOW--Remember those unrealistic, kinda creepy drawings where the teeth or chin or whatever would be way out of proportion? There was "research evidence" claiming that those kinds of images got more attention and were better at jogging people's memories than more realistic sketches.) Maybe a similar project was being done with forensic photos? NEVER, EVER, underestimate the goofy weirdness of a grad student in need of data and/or a thesis topic. Someone may have been working part time or interning at the office attached to that phone number while also finishing a degree.

The Joana part reminds me of the Selene Delgado case in Mexico, missing person that no one knew anything about

I remember when those colored bars used to be on the TV overnight. That's a pretty early memory for me but that would have been the late 80s or early 90s. Just one of those weird, fuzzy, super-early memories. That sort of memory is really weird. When did they start just showing stuff all night? Because it seems like when they did start having programming all night, it was just infomercials until like 5 or 6 AM. Which reminds me - that might be why I would see the bars - trying to wake up super early to watch Bozo or something when I was probably 3-5ish.

As callous as it might sound, this Joanna Lopez case kind of sounds like testing protocol; I was a CompSci major when I first started University, whenever we were testing a program we'd written ourselves or an OS we were unfamiliar with, to get familiar with it we'd ask the program to do one thing: Write the phrase "Hello World!" in white text on a black background. When running system checks, radio stations do this as well. They'll play high pitched, eerie sounds in order to recalibrate their system before the next broadcast day. Something about them using such an overexposed image, leaving no information, it sounds like a test; I don't know if Joanna Lopez was a joke inside the office or with the broadcast engineers, but that's what it feels like, especially using it multiple times and leaving it on for hours on end. The overexposure makes sense too, likely, the photo is a collage of different features cut out from magazines and yearbooks just so they could have a photo to use for their test graphic and in order to make it not look fake, expose the crap out of it.

I gave up weed recently and have been having the most weird vivid dreams...that image of Joanna is gonna be haunting me tonight.

The Lucky 7 thing definitely sounds like a student thing. I did the same thing in the early streaming days though it was obviously not as unique anymore.

I honestly really LOVE the idea of bunching together multiple smaller mysteries into 1 video! You should do more of these! 😁

God, the Unknown Johanna missing poster gives me chills. It feels so surreal. The fact that she was not found in 30+ years, the thought of her not even existing, and the quality of the photo just triggers it all, and it just scares me. Like an actual Analog Horror video.

The Joanna Lopez case heavily reminds me of the Selene Delgado incident in Mexico. Very similar concept.

wow um. I thought you were going to talk about Selene DelGato. Joanna's missing photo is somehow even more distressing

Jorge: and some of the money was never recovered… Me, no hesitation: did they just spend it really really fast

What's truly frustrating about cases like Joanna Lopez, the Max Headroom incident, the Most Mysterious Song on the Internet, etc. is that you'd assume they would be somewhat easily solvable. People tend to leave a life-long paper trail and there are records for everything, and surely stuff like the Max Headroom mess would be traceable. Even the most obscure stuff leaves records. - They easily solved other signal-hacking incidents, like the "Capt. Midnight" cable guy who was angry with HBO. If cops could find him, then "Max Headroom" would have been easy... but the latter is a mystery to this day! If Joanna was a joke or a placeholder thing, someone at the station would've said something. If Joanna was a hacking incident, then they should've traced it. If she's a real missing person, there should be records or family... but there isn't. - All these John / Jane Doe cases where they reconstruct the deceased then broadcast it in the media... yet not one family member, friend or acquaintance shows up. I just don't get it! Someone must know something or knows these people, yet they say nothing. - Surely somebody knows SOMETHING... and yet... there is nothing!

All I can imagine is some Chicago TV viewer in the late 1980's who fell asleep while watching TV, only to wake up hours later after the station signed off to seeing that picture with little context. I would've had ultra chills for sure.

The Father's Day Bank Massacre would be an interesting case to cover.

Why does the Jane Doe look more unsettling than Joanna's photo? Is that a recreation of what she looked like? It's uncanny valley to the max and it freaks me out.....

Maybe that "Joanna Lopez" broadcast was some kind of emergency code, meant for some department of the government. For example, sometimes a hospital might have a code for the paging system like, "Dr. Burns, please report to the third floor," as a code to workers meaning, "there's a fire on the third floor." This "Joanna Lopez" alert might have been a code meant for FBI agents, or policemen or something. This would explain why why stayed on all night, to ensure that enough of the intended audience eventually got the message. After 1991, they may have retired the "Joanna Lopez" alarm, either because it was too conspicuous, or simply because the booming technological advances ofthe 1990s rendered it obsole.

My heart literally goes out to Joanna Lopez and many others in the same similar situation. Imagine being a missing person for literally years and no one coming forward or even trying

Love seeing Jorge selling his soul to Hunt A Killer yet again 🙏

The Lopez thing couldve been a signal hijack like Max Headroom, but still that doesn't help explain much

that picture combined with the silence, and the fact that it lasted for hours, is sooooo unsettling

Maybe the person who stole Sinatra's money and launched Lucky 7 was Joanna Lopez all along.

Jorge: All pretty normal, right? Me: no Jorge: Well, not really Me: girl that's what I said

Something about the National anthem playing on air over radio or TV is slightly eerie like if an emergency broadcast about the end of the world would play next

Update on the Joanna Lopez case, she's been found. A few redditors were able to get in contact with the real Joanna, now, you may say "oh she's ghetto shes lying" but a woman named Joana Lopez who fleed her home from chicago in 1989 and once again in 1991 is WAAAY too specific to just be a coincidence.

There's just something about the Joanna Lopez case that doesn't sit well with me... even thinking about it gives me the chills. It just seems so uncanny that a TV station would broadcast something like that twice in the span of 2 years with the first time going on all night and the second time being only a few seconds. Knowing there are no records of this alleged person is pretty eerie as well.

it’s a good day when jorge posts

The rumours in Syracuse were always that it was just a massive prank by college students out of Syracuse University, the Newhouse School, and that multiple Syracuse professors were involved in some way. I've always wanted to call a film production company "Lucky Seven" in honour of one of the coolest "for the lulz" moments in human history.

Maybe one of Joanna Lopez's friends or family members will come forward now that there's more attention to this missing person's case. I have a theory that someone who knew Joanna personally has a copy of the photo from the missing person's broadcast and if they see that there is renewed interest in the missing person's case, they will share their copy of the photo because it's better quality than the copy used for the broadcast.
