Creeped the hell out of me too, especially the ghost related segments, but I couldn't stop watching. Would get up at around 5 every morning to watch it. I was a very weird child. Perhaps that is where my fascination for horror began.
Agree Weird But I raised my daughter on this…. Early ‘90’s ( Also,,, she was only interested in the fight scenes in the Hardy Boys books…. who can say…)
I may sound a bit crazy, but I think Unsolved Mysteries is perhaps the greatest show of all time. It's pretty clear that it was not a high-budget production, yet there were episodes that scared me more than any high-budget horror film. It was so well-written especially when narrated by Robert Stack. The fact that the stories are real also adds to the allure of the show. And to think that cold cases were actually solved because of a show that people watched for entertainment (murderers caught, lost siblings reunited) is absolutely amazing. Whoever created this show should get a Nobel Prize LOL
This indeed was the Best TV Show ever written and produced. Its atmosphere was so obscure and scary it was perfect along with an absolute perfect narrator such as Robert Stack. He gave the show that spooky wind of mystery with his classy and calm style. Add to all this the incredible music which already gave you goosebumps in the first 5 seconds, and the jazzy version the show sometimes used in the end credits, man that was scary. Everything about Unsolved Mysteries was perfect, even its "low budget" played in favor helping the viewer not get stuck in fanciful imagery instead of the good and haunting story. I could go on for days just talking about how this is the best TV Show ever done, at least for me.
Dottie's husband literally could not be more suspicious. The second he said "Oh she probably disappeared to make trouble for me" I was sure that he killed her
Yeah... Pretty sure he done it. Too many clues point to him. And that attitude on him .. he said "I probably wouldn't have wanted her to (make the move) with me" but he was leaving love notes on her car? Nah. I wouldn't buy that with his money.
I was… 8 I think. I’d watch it every week with my grandmother. We never missed it. I was crushed when the show stopped. When it returned I was ecstatic. Wasn’t happy when it was Dennis Farina narrating. No one can replace Robert Stack.
That story makes me wonder whether she really had agoraphobia or he just kept her isolated and found out later that she had been getting out and having fun.
@@saraschneider6781 ...& the funny or sad thing about Robert Stacks career may be the fact that he's probably always gonna be remembered as the host of UM before anything from his acting career...He was a great actor from what I hear & it's kinda a shame
1919? That’s my maternal grandma’s birth year. Even though she passed away in 2013, I still remember when this would air, she’d know what this show was immediately.
@@heathermiller5765Heather that outro is starts of mellow than middle, towerd the ending Whoa 🤯😳, it's Hauntingly Scary 😨😳. I would be lol 🤣😆 looking around the Room. And making sure my blinds were shut , keep a little night light on, and I was a teenager in the middle , 80s. Mid to late teen lol. No wonder in the Early to mid,80 I catered to Horror and Sci Fi. Oh yeah I know this mostly was. Real but don't tell me it wasn't unsettling .Stack was the Man, RIP . Also the Untouchables. You can't , count the many times, I look over my shoulders, also the Reinactments, and Mug Shots , some, people looked Gruesome. That Son of Sam case, was scary intense the Reinactments. Another show was Leonard Nimoy In Search Of. Spooky Macabre Synthesizer Music. Psychedelic, plus the Reinactments, Nimoy Creepy Bizarre Voice like That what missing Lol 😉😆, today Heather , in this Matrix artificial Lol 😉😆 Tecnowizardry Technology age. No nostalgia stuff fake 😭🤥 now.
Yeah Dottie did "get in with the wrong person at the start" and it was Jules. So heartbreaking. Love Unsolved Mysteries for having given a voice to these cases.
Thank you so much for putting these online. Robert Stack is Unsolved Mysteries. Not Dennis god bless him. These shows are a time capsule and still awesome.
Unsolved mysteries originally aired on TV before Robert Stack, Raymond Burr I believe was the first host, the very first case as I remember was the strange Disappearance and death of Don Kemp.
Everytime he said, "perhaps, it's you.." I would get chills and felt like he was saying I could be part of all the scary and creepy stuff he just talked about. And I hoped never to know any of those people they would talk about nor know any information to solve any scary stuff.🤣🤣 I just didnt want any part of it.😂 But I knew if I did know any criminal or murderer they were looking for I would call asap, though.😂
Robert Stack was a good man and a wonderful actor. Back in the 1950s he played the role as Elliott Ness in The Untouchables and he was the voice of Ultra Magnus in Transformers: The Movie (1987).
The first story, The mother and father looks much younger than their wicked son-in-law. Loved listening to Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack. Miss Unsolved Mysteries with him.
"It was Hell living with Dottie. It was Hell having her disappear the way that she did. And yet, since I've gotten here and gotten settled and into a new job, that whole problem is behind me." Oh poor you, because it's all about you. Like oh I don't care she might be dead or something she's a problem behind me! Come on!
He was talking like that because he was pretty sure his wife was having an affair. I mean, she rented a post office box to receive mails, opened a personal bank account and style her outfit and cut her hair which any girl (my girlfriend told me) would signify a new start in life. And she was doing all these without the knowledge of her husband. Any guy would be suspicious that their wife might be having an affair if she did those especially when their marital relationship has become quite estranged and the husband is away from home most of the time at work.
There's a show in Germany about unsolved crimes that's even older and still running (Aktenzeichen XY)! But I guess for Americans Unsolved Mysteries has the same nostalgia. I just started watching this show, love watching older shows like this one, different times.
@@RosesTeaAndASD Right! Same here! You know something else I didn't understand was why the woman claiming to be the wife to the ppl around the campfire, later denied being her and having ever said it. That didn't make much sense to me at all 🤷♀️🤷♀️
@@RosesTeaAndASD No-I enjoyed it. It's not the same as the original, of course, but it still has the spirit. Looking forward to the next season, and also the next season of the podcast.
I remember we had lots of episodes of this show back in the 90s here in Latin America and we never knew whether the cases were ever solved except for a handful of them, it's so nice to finally see so many updates added in these episodes and solved cases by now.
It's weird seeing Robert Stack walking around in broad daylight during this episode...I feel like later on they exclusively had him standing in dimly lit, creepy environments.
What strikes me is interviews with older folks even from back in the 1980s. Like Mrs. Mohr. We don’t have that quality of people anymore. It’s a shame.
So smooth, so classy, well dressed, but his voice and his eyes were scary. It seemed like he was talking directly to you. I watched UM when it premiered in 1987 and never reverted. Loved how they put the camera on him and he starts walking. Just smooth. I miss Robert as well. Every time I watched this it was dark and all the lights would be out and I would be scared shitless. And I would keep watching, but I didn't move an inch.
You've just described my childhood perfectly! My sister and I lounging on the opposite ends of our lumpy green sofa (in PJ bottoms) practically glued to the telly 👩🏻🛋👧📺❗
I'm glad all of these unsolved mysteries episodes are in RU-vid. Now if we could get a DVD release of all the seasons would be great. Rescue 911 would be great too.
@Jewel Clark I mean, mathematically, thats not possible unless most men are "creeps and bad boys"... Which uhh...I guess depends on your threshold for creepiness? I dont know, lol
If Unsolved Mysteries w/ Robert Stack(Of course) was the only tv show I was allowed to watch the rest of my life I could do it w/ a smile. I would probably be constantly paranoid, but I could do it.
Something eerie about it yet we come back for more. We just have to see what's going on! I totally agree with the two tv shows you mentioned, but for me I add the original In Search Of. Very eerie yet interesting.
Thanks for uploading everything from the show! Haven't seen this in a long time, especially the UFO episodes. Can't quite forget the mysterious music and of course, Robert Stack's voice.
best idea for a 80s show ever. Convincing people murderers might be coming up the driveway, they could inherit money by watching, mysteries, murder, violence, horror, this shit had it all.
you know, it was kind of like a national 'phenomenon'--people tuned in and called the hotline like crazy (especially little old ladies). It was kind of a neat interactive way to get the public's help and keep people engaged with the world beyond themselves/taking an active interest in others. I feel like we could use more shows like this now :)
Dottie's husband is one of the jerkiest husband's they've ever interviewed on this show. He obviously couldn't care less that she's gone and seems quite happy about it. At least he could try to come across as even a little bit likeable.
"Coming up --- your Lifetime afternoon continues with another hour of Unsolved Mysteries with your favorite host, Robert Stack." :D I loved how they would even briefly play the "Unsolved Mysteries" famous "Ah-dingle-dingle, duh-dingle-ding-gee" theme in the background when the Lifetime announcer would say, "Unsolved Mysteries is brought to you by ___" :D
I had to cover my face with a pillow so I wouldn't wake up my husband from the sheer loudness of the laughter I was trying to hide when i got the "ah-dingle-dingle" I almost lost it 😂😂😂😂 this made my entire day and I will be quoting it religiously thank you
@@OnyxGamesOffic_ Really?? You actually liked my silly onomatopoeia that much? Well --- THANK you! And YOU just now totally made MY day, as well! I'd just been trying to write something gigglingly amusing; I'd never imagined that it would have such a dramatic, satisfying, and positive effect on someone! Thanks again for your compliment! :D :D :D
The first story was a lifetime movie. It was called Victim of Love “The Shannon Mohr Story”. I watched it so many times. That was a good movie. My childhood at my grandma house was lifetime movies and Unsolved Mysteries.
The nostalgia this show brings me is just ahh. I love this show. Every single episode. Just so intriguing and so well narrated by the one and only, Robert Stack.
It is obvious that there is something seriously wrong with Jule Caylor. "It was hell living with Dottie. Now that that problem is behind me things are pretty good." wow ! is there any doubt whatsoever that he killed her?
I disagree. He seemed simply exasperated with the whole situation. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with him. Their marriage was clearly unhappy so it’s perhaps hard to feign concern. He doesn’t strike me a murderer in the slightest.
Well, maybe California should revise its anti-male divorce laws. You try financially enslaving a man for life (alimony) and he might just take the nuclear option instead.
There is little doubt in my mind that Jules killed Dottie to put her out of his misery. He doesn’t elicit my sympathy, but definitely raises my suspicions. The case sounds exactly like any number of cases where a woman goes missing and the husband claims she ran away or disappeared on her own, when, in fact, he had killed her. Obviously, Jules did a good job disposing of the body - perhaps into the bay and out to sea.
Unsolved Mysteries, Thanks for posting this but there are a lot of segments that are missing. 1. The Halloween special from 1989. 2.Joyce McClain 3.The original Unabomber segment. 4.Gulf Breeze UFO sightings from season 1. Just to name a few. If you can get all of those and the rest of the the missing segments on here that would be great.
Good news. They did upload the Joyce McClain segment and a few of the stories from the Halloween special(Queen Mary,Tatum Ghost,General Wayne's Inn are the ones I found). They are scattered throughout the season 1 uploads.
love the first victims mother and father they wouldn't let it go until they got their man and got him locked up for what he did, what an awesome, mom and dad.
A movie was made about Shannon Mohr. It's called "Unsolved Mysteries: A Victim of Love, The Shannon Mohr Story". Bonnie Bartlett and Andy Romano play Shannon's parents.
Hello I was the same age when I first watched these with my grandma,brings back great memories …..ps best show ever,dont no why youtube keep taking them down ,,
Gotta hand it to Bob Mohr for being a very strong and shrewd man even in the midst of his grief of losing his daughter by being rigid and using legal powers to prevent Dave from having Shannon cremated. That S.O.B. wouldn't have been convicted had she been cremated due to destruction of incriminating evidence. They got him and he ultimately died in prison.
@@louisewilliams4676 Dave didn’t know who he was dealing with. He thought he could kill Shannon by faking a horse riding accident and then claim her life insurance. But Bob was no fool, he saw right through it immediately and took that contemptible excuse for a human being on.
@@kaylapounds1359 Yes. And to wait so long for justice. But it got there in the end and that contemptible excuse for a human being ultimately festered in prison.
I hope you decided to reupload a few select episodes due to the format and not because the RU-vid police started to delete some of the episodes. I'm nervous lol, RU-vid needs to allow these seasons to stay on this channel!!
@@davidgoodrich1258 True, it was a despicable act of pure greed from the owners of the show. Thank God they came back to their senses and are now allowing these wonderful episodes to stay on RU-vid. 👍
@@traceythibault4946 Yep, the channel is here to stay my friend! At the time I wrote my comment months ago I was worried due to episodes being deleted, then I found out that they were deleted because the cool folks at Filmrise wanted to add a few updates to these particular episodes. 😁😀
I will never forget the nights that Unsolved Mysteries would air. My mom, dad, sister, and I would gather around the big 32" Sylvania CRT television and watch this show with awe and wonder.
What makes Unsolved Mysteries so good is not only Robert Stacks narration but his narration in combination with fantastic no-nonsense re-enactments that overlay with the narration. Current crime programming should take note, -- this is how it should be done.
Its crazy being able to watch this first episode to this legendary series. To see Mr. Robert Stack getting a feel for this character, trying it on for the first time so to speak is truly priceless. It's as if he is still auditioning for the role. It's just cool seeing him in the moment as he develops the way the host should be. He's more animated here for sure compared to the more emotionally stripped down version that in later seasons he becomes.
"Victims of Love: The Shannon Mohr Story" brought me here. It's stories like Shannon Mohr's murder that make me want to do a background check on whoever I'm dating.
Somethings always troubled me about the Conway case: Ive never known someone to switch on an iron and then go take a bath. Its always sounded to me like someone putting the scene together after she disappeared.
Also the hose being on near the pool? I don't own a pool but I'm fairly certain a garden hose would take too long to fill a pool. Plus why would anyone be filling a pool, leaving an iron on, going for a bath and having a phone call all at the same time. Plus the open door? No one would leave a door open if they were alone and going for a bath
He probably set it all up to make it look like a robbery and he couldn’t decide how to set it up so he did everything except actually steal anything. He doesn’t even look sad in the interviews he has a blah way of how he talks about his wife
@@LiviCG91 Seema like it be pats next wife. As if she was mocking Aileen by saying im coming in next as pats Home-Maker: she sets up the iron, pool water, etc as the next house wife...
And as someone who has to wear glasses while driving, who tf goes for a drive somewhere and doesn't at least put on their glasses on if they're required to wear glasses while driving due to vision problems? Like honestly I could ignore the fact that the purse and wallet were still in the house as I've been occasionally guilty of forgetting to grab my wallet before leaving the house but the glasses are really important
Have always loved this show. So many interesting stories and such excellent reenactment. Robert Stack was amazing, I love his voice on this show. Thanks for posting!!
Thanks for another episode of unsolved mysteries I always wondered what happened to aileen conway did she interrupt a burglary at the house and why she ended up on that lonely country road burned beyond recognition I hope her case is finally solved soon truly a sad case indeed
