Unsolved Mysteries is comforting...but at the same time, reminds me of my very lonely childhood spent watching TV late at night so I didn't feel alone.
UM will never get old, true! No other true crime show can reproduce the chilling atmosphere created by Robert Stack's narration and the different songs used during the segments, and no other show can duplicate its "the killer might be living in your neighborhood and might be looking through your window right now" vibe. Best show ever!!! 👍
I SWEAR, there is no other type of music theme that makes your heart nearly skip a beat. It's just chilling! I should use this as a ringtone when my boss calls.
Yes finally. I've been hoping for the Roberts Stacks Unsolved Mysteries. Dennis Farina was fine, but Robert is the original and one and only. Big thank you.
Luke Jack I agree. If I could pick anyone living or dead to do the voice over of my life..First choice would be Stack...second choice Morgan Freeman. Lmao
Luke Jack, I often fall asleep listening to an Unsolved Mysteries episode narrated by Robert Stack because his voice is so soothing. I cannot get the same effect listening to Dennis Farina. I am okay listening to Farina when I am fully awake and not intentionally in going to sleep mode. I can easily go to sleep listening to Forensic Files too.
Patty broke my heart. I wonder why her mom and stepdad kept her away from her dad when they didn't really want her... I guess the answer is they're aholes.
@@JustforKikX There's a saying-- 'They hate their exes more than they love their children'. and the children see & hear bitterness, spite, hate & revenge. That's a heavy load for any kid, with lasting effects
I remember this story as a kid and it was scary. What an animal that man is! I commend Carol for the courage to come out and talk about that experience. Hope she's doing ok. Even if she recovers physically, the psychological recovery may take a lifetime.
Reading all the news stories these days, it's not safe for women to be alone in the USA. We have to adopt the super protective customs of other, older conservative cultures.
If you reading this, you are strong , wise and important. This show bring up much sadness, life and growing up can be hard. But you here Now and we all get to pick Who we want to be. Life is amazing, scary, but always fill with change. Become the change you want dear ones. You are worth it.
I love love love this show... Brings back childhood memories of watching with my dad, who is no longer with us today, he's on the greater side of the cross ✌❤🙏👍
Awwwwww, the fact that the dad tried so hard to remain in Patty's life, and that she felt safe with him in those moments, he's definitely an upstanding guy.
The delivery from the actor during the reenactment of Patti's dad reappearing when she was a small child is genuinely amazing. "Is Helen home?" "Nope!" "Can I see Patti?" "NOPE!"
In the case of the missing father, if the military/CIA/whomever needed the father to disappear, that's one thing, but what a skunky thing to do to deny benefits to his family.
I agree completely. It seems to me that nowadays, when a person is a member of the FBI/CIA, and is married, their partner at least has a general idea of who they are, and it is their family that moves around constantly and keeps to themselves. It might be very hard to have to be raised in all that secrecy, but it beats being split up and a family being denied benefits. Besides, a standard stable family appearance is far less assuming than a lone man hiding out in a hotel room.
@@ZeoViolet If it was like the "caller" said , there is NO WAY They would have said He deserted ..... More than likely He was caught meeting a Russian Operative and passing on secrets .... For whatever reason , the Military didn't want it "out there" so They took Him into custody as a traitor and then said He deserted as a cover ......
That dude went awol, I have plenty special forces officers, secret service military people all in my family. That probably was the dude calling. Military doesn't operate like that, I guess that makes her feel better to say he disappeared in the line of duty. That dude got tired of the military, the family and left
As someone who is was placed into the foster care system as a little boy and adopted. Lost my dad as a teenager due to an “overdose” the Patty story touched me deeply and personally... I miss my father so so much it’s been 17 years and it hurts so deeply to never be able to have fully reconnected with him and have that father & son relationship.😢💔😣 I’m very happy for Patty and her father’s reunion, certainly has me in tears. #ThePainNeverEnds 🥀😔😢🥀 Shame on the stepfather and mother of Patty. I never full reconnected with my biological mother she is and has been invisible from my life...
The Kevin Hughes story was tragic, what made it even more creepier was that when Chuck Dixon was interviewed, Unsolved had no idea that as it later turned out Ol' Chuckles was involved in the hit.
I agree with you. I was amazed that Chuck Dixon had the audacity to show his face on that program knowing he had him killed, but then again, what do you expect from murderers.
Patti, you are remarkable - such courage and love to overcome all in your journey. God is Good - Evil is destruction. So remarkable that you chose Good. Love what this program helped bring together.
27:43 - Listen to Chuck Dixon giving mad praises to Kevin when he's the guy behind his murder, as our friend Vegeta Solo shared in this comments section. Such nerves, appearing in the segment after what he did....speechless! 😠
He died in 2001 before being charged! It’s bad we can’t punish him and make him suffer on earth but at least we, the taxpayers, don’t have to pay for the costly trial.
You put that whole thing exceptionally well. The gall of the guy to even agree to appear on that show and talk about Kevin when he was behind the murder all along. Disgusting.
According to the history of the CIA entitled "Legacy of Ashes," during the era in which Ray Higginbotham disappeared the CIA dropped dozens of men into Iron Curtain countries. However, due to a security breach every single one of them was intercepted and executed. Apparently, there were sometimes security troops already positioned and waiting for these men when they were deployed. None survived. This is not the only story like this I've seen. In whatever capacity he served, it angers me that Ray Higginbotham's family was cut off from all benefits and he was declared a deserter. (The Army may have actually not known what happened to him.) In all likelihood he volunteered for an "off the books" intelligence mission, believing his family would always be taken care of, but in all likelihood the Dulles brothers (Allen and John Foster) put their own selfish priorities ahead of the needs of this man's family.
Janna Watson, we're never going to do it sending an emotionally immature, corrupt, deceitful, failed New York City and casino realtor who is so swampy himself that he is the only candidate or President to refuse to release his tax returns and has fought so hard to keep them secret (as well as all of his academic records), despite having promised the nation on live television to release them if elected, and has had more associates and officials indicted or convicted in one term than most Presidents have had in eight. (Obama, for example, had NONE.)
It's one of the weirdest cases I've ever heard. Who automatically shoots another driver in the face for absolutely no reason at all? And they said he was TAUNTING other motorists on the highway? Sounds like a deranged lunatic in the middle of some kinda psychotic break, hunting for a victim. Either that, or she was personally targeted. Don't see how or why though.
@@RETROGEMS I don't think she is telling the whole truth. If, like me, you watch alot of road rage videos, you know brake checking and road blocking is classic road rage. We know she was running late, and the truck wasn't going fast enough, my guess is she laid on the horn, maybe flipped him the bird, then tried to pass, which he wouldn't allow. It obviously does not excuse the shooting, but I doubt she just came upon him and he started shooting. Just me.
RIP Robert Stack the World Still Loves You... the Greatest part of the Show was the Lost Love Ones Reunions... it's more important than the captured Criminals... those Scumbags were like the Gravy for the Good People and their Stories...
I remember when the "Carol" segment first aired...and how scary that story seemed to be at the time; that is something which could happen to anyone. When I re-watched this segment, I was sort of disappointed to learn that there have been no updates...and no suspect.
That deaf girl's so-called "stepfather" makes this episode really hard tow watch: he is one of the meanest, nastiest, most cowardly pieces of shit I can imagine, and he's lucky he never tried to threaten MY child with a hammer.
This is one of the episodes that was/is missing from prime video, so it was actually new to me, so cool! For me the show is very sentimental, I'm 45 now, my mom watched it religiously, Saturday nights🖤
Omg carols story is so scary! Incredible she lived . Did nothing to deserve that , why .i wonder if they ever got the nut What arseholes the CIA were cutting of the families benefits . Looses husband and home , awful. I can’t believe the amount of cases where murderers are released early ! Should be life if you take a life ! Poor Patty , as if life wasn’t hard enough. So happy for her now .
The re-creations always on point, it was the 80's and they even had close-captions....after all these years im shook finding all the updates...we used to watch the show here in Mexico and the actor they chose for Mr. Stack's voice was the same...Mr. Stack's was always a hero because my brother and mother and me used to love The Untouchables...until this day.....awesome find this after all these years....like in "Lost Loves" :)
I remember the episode with Patty so well. It stayed with me because it made me so sad when she had her father so close and yet could never go with him. It angered me that her mom and stepdad never let her see him, even though they themselves didn't really love or care for her.
Hope that stepfather rots in hell what an evil piece of crap and shame the mother too for not caring for Patty but I'm glad she finally got to reunite with her father and she has a family of her own that loves her
I remember as a kid I was scared sh*tless when the theme song would come on. Now, I sleep through it like a baby and get excited to sleep with it now lol
Rob J I don't understand why no one else who was harassed by this guy, didn't get even a partial plate. Did he not have plates on his truck? Said others witnessed a person with a black truck, driving recklessly. I know I'd at least know what state the plates were from, or if it had none where they were supposed to be.
@@albakreuk5830 I always love it when people like you know exactly what they could or would have known in a situation that they've never been in. Smh. You know that he nearly ran other people off the road, right?? They didn't have a chance to look at a plate, let alone write it down. Idiot.
michelleprieur1 I love it when people assume I haven't been in predicaments when I make a comment about something. I have been in situations like that more then once, and got something where there were suppose to be plates!!! Now who do you think the idiot in this conversation is again? How about *_thinking_* that *_assuming_* isn't the best *_strategy?_* What a sorry lame excuse for a half witted red blooded human being you are. Especially when you don't have the foresight to get some info on the person being reckless. You must not be that worried about their next victim somewhere down the road.
@@albakreuk5830 😁 thanks for the laugh! Yep, I'm the bad guy who doesn't care about the "next victim" because I'M the one victim blaming. Oh, wait, no I'm not. You are. You're damn right someone doesn't have the "foresight" to write down a plate number WHEN THEY'RE GETTING RUN OFF THE FUCKING ROAD! You're trying to convince me that you've been run off the road, shot and had your carotid artery severed and you managed to get a license plate number? Bull. Fucking. Shit. God I hate people like you who vilify victims. Seriously, why can't people like you get killed or nearly killed by assholes like that instead of good people like that poor woman?
I recall when friends and family visiting, they always had coffee in china cups and saucers. It was a much more settled world back then. Lovely sounds, never locked our doors, kids played out side unattended. It was very heaven.
thank you for uploading, this was my favorite show as a kid. it's really cool to be able to watch them and get an instant update when you google the cases in another tab.
Who else wonders if Archangel was actually Carol's dad calling just to at least hear her voice one more time and reassure her that he was, at the time alive and well?
After the stunt the army pulled with packing up their apartment, the last thing I would be doing is sitting down and having coffee with their rep. I would be at that base knocking heads together.
@@LRho Lol says a skinny jean wearing pole smoking mo mo! Your generation is so addicted to being hopeless victims you can crash a plane and blame the road conditions!
With the store about Patty English is sad. How her stepfather told her her birth father wasn't her father and that he was. But never showed love. Makes me think that her mother and stepfather may have prevented them from having a relationship. Why are people so cruel? Why do people if have kids if they aren't going to show them love?
Sometimes the feelings of spite anger and being unable to forgive cloud a person's judgement. I don't think it had anything to do with Patti herself I think Patti's mother and stepfather hated her birth dad and wanted to punish him. Sadly they chose the wrong way to do it and Patti was just a victim
Love this show...Dennis is an imposter...no one will ever take Robert stacks place. This guys voice used to put me to sleep every night and I love these old ones they are the best. For some reason the new ones just aren't as suspenseful
20:20 Anyone else think the mysterious caller 'Archangel' WAS her father? She should've concluded the call with "Bye, dad. It was great to hear from you after 40 years."
It's possible that he was having an affair. He was "working long hours" and was increasingly distancing himself from his family. So there's a good chance that he just did what Eminem's dad did and simply split. The army said that he was a deserter...and that's probably what happened. He deserted both the army and his family. He probably changed his name and remarried (without divorcing wife #1) and started a new family. The new family was unaware that the old family existed. Over 25 years later, the daughter publishes that article in the newspaper and the article features her father's photo. The father, realizing that he might eventually get exposed if such articles keep getting published, calls up the daughter to 'put the kibosh' (so to speak) on the daughter's investigation and poses as some government agent named "Archangel" and invents a story about what happened to her father. Since men who just abandon their families to start new ones are usually narcissists, he invents this wonderful spy story that paints her father as Cold War spy hero and shifts blame to the government for why he disappeared. Archangel said "The article really rattled cages at the CIA and that it had really shook people up." My response: not likely. At that time, it had been over 25 years since her dad had gone missing. I doubt that there would've been anyone left at the CIA that would've even recognized his name. Just about everyone he worked with back in the 1940s would have been retired when the article came out. But if my theory is correct that Archangel is her dad and her dad's a narcissist, then it makes sense that he would describe the article about himself as being so important that it "rattled cages at the CIA". Archangel revealed that an attempt was made on her father's life and, he had been relocated -- and that the whole time her dad was just a few miles away from Arlington, VA. Does it make sense that the government would protect her father from professional killers and the Soviet government by hiding him just a few miles away? If you were the government and he was a valuable asset, wouldn't you hide him several thousand miles away? I agree that he remained just a few miles away after disappearing. If he was having an affair and ran off with the other woman, he probably stayed at her house -- which could've easily been just a few miles away. At 21:28 "Your father is alive." No dispute there. "His name is Nelson." That could be a name that her dad started using after abandoning his family and the army. Or a name that was never used but was made up on the spot to throw her off the trail. "He lives in a NATO country where there are high mountains and crystal clear lakes and a long time democracy." Yeah, that describes the U.S.A. (as well as other countries). So, basically, he still lives in the U.S. I'm no FBI profiler but the fact that he described the area using geographical features ("high mountains" and "crystal clear lakes"), tells me he's probably an outdoorsman who spends a lot of time hiking, camping, and fishing. A 'city folk' like myself would not use terms like that but would describe a country based on its cities and people and art and culture. If the government DID hide her father, and he truly loved his family, wouldn't he try to reach out to them sometime over the past 40 years? Couldn't he have contacted his family after the assassination attempts blew over? Also, if the government hid him, why didn't it hide his family with him?
the ending theme song use to put me to sleep back in the day when the show was in re- runs, when tv had timers, i would leave the tv on for an extra hour so it would lull me to sleep.
i rarely comment under the episodes but goodness gracious was Patti's story heartwarming. She's probably either gone or having greatgrandchildren, but may her family be well...
It's really depressing to think about the cars that passed right by "Carol"'s car and just kept driving. I know they couldn't see in, but the optimist in me thinks somebody would eventually stop and check to see if something was amiss about the car in the middle of the road (and the pessimist in me assumes somebody would have tried to steal it at some point.)
The case involving Kevin Hughes was solved as a as result of the assailant's hat left at the scene containing his cat's hair. That's a case worth discussing on Forensic Files.
@ I believe the motive was that it was feared the victim would expose the bribing scheme. The most disgusting thing is that the guy in the program, Chuck Dixon, was involved in the murder of the victim. He wound up dying in 2001.
It was not solved "as a result of" the hat. It was solved "as a result of" Dixon's death, people came forward and implicated him. He had paid off the gunman. The gun used in the homicide was test fired the evening of the murder. Knowing that, the police recovered the .38 bullets years later from the back yard. They then reinterview the ex-wife of the hired assassin who also had hired Hughes and was his manager. He was paid off by Dixon to murder Hughes. The hat was used as evidence for a conviction, but the gun and witnesses and the ex-wife were who solved the crime. The police didn't even think there was a murder for hire or payola scheme going on, when it was well known by journalists just hours after the murder.
i bet it probably seems bizarre to younger viewers that kevin and his friend had to stop somewhere to use the phone but no cell phones back in the late 80's only land lines.
That’s what made the show. Had Kevin had one then he would still be alive today. I think that’s why the Farina version failed. Not having a cell phone created those situations.
Hussein Nathwani Nine seasons? I thought it was two, from 2008 to 2010. In fact, Farina died in 2013, so that version can’t be nine seasons. Maybe not failed but it certainly didn’t last as long as the Stack version.
@@purplelove010 i was joking around. younger people who choose to avail themselves of knowledge are smarter than ever now because there's so much available. if i had the internet when i was a teenager my life would've been much happier i'm convinced.
Robert Stack's birth year is my maternal grandma's birth year. Interestingly, she used to tune into this show and I'd stay to watch it with her and my dad whenever it was on. She knew immediately who Robert Stack was the moment he appeared and spoke. Respect to them both.
I love the nostalgic feeling rewatching these episodes even though Robert stack had the creepiest voice back then (its rather soothing now 😂😂). It used to scare the 💩 out of me. But now watching it i can tell i was just a big baby as a child 🤣🤣🤣 I wish they still made this show (not the Netflix version IDC for that one)
Why is it that people who actually WANT to be parents are not allowed to and abusive assholes who should NEVER be around kids at all are often rewarded by being legally responsibe for them? FTW
That road Brayman Hollow Road in CT is near where my boyfriend worked at Frito Lay. About 15 minutes away. A lot of weirdos out there who need help or want to be alone. Reminds me of the pine barrens in NJ or West Virginia. Just a lot of mentally unstable people who drank the dirty water or just drank too much in general. A bad gene pool. I’m not surprised this happened. Eastern Connecticut is full on trash. My boyfriend got stalked by a few cars while he came home every night. That area is cesspool. There’s also a lot of hauntings too. The woman’s name is Janice.
Unsolved Mysteries is comforting...but at the same time, reminds me of my very lonely childhood spent watching TV late at night so I didn't feel alone.

Poor Patty. Methinks if abusive parents didn't have the benefit of claiming their kids as tax credits they'd only be too happy to let them go
Sadly, this seems to be true.
It's costs tons more to raise a kid than you get back in tax credits. Probably the mom was being spiteful.
I know my ex felt that way.
I love when they have heart warming reunions. They always make me tear up.
Carol's story is both sad and terrifying

You put that whole thing exceptionally well. The gall of the guy to even agree to appear on that show and talk about Kevin when he was behind the murder all along. Disgusting.
Both are dead now, which sucks that Dixon was never charged. They'll both rot in hell.
he's burning in hell right now him and the killer that shot Kevin
@@Combatfanatic agree!
According to the history of the CIA entitled "Legacy of Ashes," during the era in which Ray Higginbotham disappeared the CIA dropped dozens of men into Iron Curtain countries. However, due to a security breach every single one of them was intercepted and executed. Apparently, there were sometimes security troops already positioned and waiting for these men when they were deployed. None survived.
This is not the only story like this I've seen. In whatever capacity he served, it angers me that Ray Higginbotham's family was cut off from all benefits and he was declared a deserter. (The Army may have actually not known what happened to him.) In all likelihood he volunteered for an "off the books" intelligence mission, believing his family would always be taken care of, but in all likelihood the Dulles brothers (Allen and John Foster) put their own selfish priorities ahead of the needs of this man's family.
I’m sure those responsible are answering for it right now in eternity...God settles ALL wrongdoings! 🙌🏽
Too much corruption has gone on by the establishment elites in DC. That’s why we need to drain the swamp.
Janna Watson, we're never going to do it sending an emotionally immature, corrupt, deceitful, failed New York City and casino realtor who is so swampy himself that he is the only candidate or President to refuse to release his tax returns and has fought so hard to keep them secret (as well as all of his academic records), despite having promised the nation on live television to release them if elected, and has had more associates and officials indicted or convicted in one term than most Presidents have had in eight. (Obama, for example, had NONE.)
@@inkyguy Lol
@@Jantv81 Two years later, and your comment is deeper and truer than ever.
10:15 The suspect who shot Carol has still not been caught over 30 years now that is pretty frustrating.
Shawn Little that’s crazy
It's one of the weirdest cases I've ever heard. Who automatically shoots another driver in the face for absolutely no reason at all? And they said he was TAUNTING other motorists on the highway? Sounds like a deranged lunatic in the middle of some kinda psychotic break, hunting for a victim. Either that, or she was personally targeted. Don't see how or why though.
@@RETROGEMS I don't think she is telling the whole truth. If, like me, you watch alot of road rage videos, you know brake checking and road blocking is classic road rage. We know she was running late, and the truck wasn't going fast enough, my guess is she laid on the horn, maybe flipped him the bird, then tried to pass, which he wouldn't allow. It obviously does not excuse the shooting, but I doubt she just came upon him and he started shooting. Just me.
@@lordflashheart3706 When you assume you make an ass out of u and me. There is no evidence to support your claim.
There was no DNA left at the crime scene. If there were, then genealogy might have found the suspect.
It's crazy to think you just need a friend, a couple army outfits, and maybe a badge if confronted, and you can legally perform home invasion.
RIP Robert Stack the World Still Loves You... the Greatest part of the Show was the Lost Love Ones Reunions... it's more important than the captured Criminals... those Scumbags were like the Gravy for the Good People and their Stories...
I hope somehow he knows how we all feel about him.
I remember when the "Carol" segment first aired...and how scary that story seemed to be at the time; that is something which could happen to anyone. When I re-watched this segment, I was sort of disappointed to learn that there have been no updates...and no suspect.
Oh yes, that's certainly terrifying to think that man could have hurt or killed other people and never get caught.
This happened in my hometown, my mother worked with Carol whose real name is Janice, at Day Kimball Hospital.
That deaf girl's so-called "stepfather" makes this episode really hard tow watch: he is one of the meanest, nastiest, most cowardly pieces of shit I can imagine, and he's lucky he never tried to threaten MY child with a hammer.
So the guy was a patriot but had his name smeared and his family unfairly cheated out of their livelihood... Greeeaaaaat👍😬
Film makes everything look more dramatic. Something HD still hasn't been able to do.
Yes! So true..
Right!! Very true
That's true.
Film will always rule.
HD is awful.
Love Robert stack he made unsolved mysteries Interesting storytelling is on points I miss Robert Stack
One of my favorite all time favorite shows.
This is one of the episodes that was/is missing from prime video, so it was actually new to me, so cool! For me the show is very sentimental, I'm 45 now, my mom watched it religiously, Saturday nights🖤
Omg carols story is so scary! Incredible she lived . Did nothing to deserve that , why .i wonder if they ever got the nut
What arseholes the CIA were cutting of the families benefits . Looses husband and home , awful.
I can’t believe the amount of cases where murderers are released early ! Should be life if you take a life !
Poor Patty , as if life wasn’t hard enough. So happy for her now .
The re-creations always on point, it was the 80's and they even had close-captions....after all these years im shook finding all the updates...we used to watch the show here in Mexico and the actor they chose for Mr. Stack's voice was the same...Mr. Stack's was always a hero because my brother and mother and me used to love The Untouchables...until this day.....awesome find this after all these years....like in "Lost Loves" :)
I remember the episode with Patty so well. It stayed with me because it made me so sad when she had her father so close and yet could never go with him. It angered me that her mom and stepdad never let her see him, even though they themselves didn't really love or care for her.
Hope that stepfather rots in hell what an evil piece of crap and shame the mother too for not caring for Patty but I'm glad she finally got to reunite with her father and she has a family of her own that loves her
Sadly Carol Hickingbotham Solstad died in 2014 at the age of 69, never learning the true fate of her father Lt. Ray Hickingbotham.
My heart hurts reading this. I just hope that they were reunited in the next realm and that their souls are at peace.
🙏🙏❤️❤️
Aww that's a shame. It would've been wild if that so-called "archangel" was actually her father.
I remember as a kid I was scared sh*tless when the theme song would come on. Now, I sleep through it like a baby and get excited to sleep with it now lol
LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The last story brought tears to my eyes.
9:34 "...any reason why this *gentleman* would get out of his truck..." Words sure are funny things.
I’m starting to notice, from each episode of unsolved mysteries, just about every criminal drives a pick up truck
....or a van ......
@@bobheck8326WHITE Van 😅😅😅🚐
Unsolved mysteries was my show back in the good old late 80’s to Mid 90’s along with MTV , The X-files, 21 JUMP STREET and The real world.
Too bad Carol didn’t get his license plate but totally understandable because it happened so fast and was so traumatic.
Rob J I don't understand why no one else who was harassed by this guy, didn't get even a partial plate. Did he not have plates on his truck? Said others witnessed a person with a black truck, driving recklessly. I know I'd at least know what state the plates were from, or if it had none where they were supposed to be.
@@albakreuk5830 I always love it when people like you know exactly what they could or would have known in a situation that they've never been in. Smh. You know that he nearly ran other people off the road, right?? They didn't have a chance to look at a plate, let alone write it down. Idiot.
michelleprieur1 I love it when people assume I haven't been in predicaments when I make a comment about something. I have been in situations like that more then once, and got something where there were suppose to be plates!!! Now who do you think the idiot in this conversation is again? How about *_thinking_* that *_assuming_* isn't the best *_strategy?_* What a sorry lame excuse for a half witted red blooded human being you are. Especially when you don't have the foresight to get some info on the person being reckless. You must not be that worried about their next victim somewhere down the road.
@@albakreuk5830 😁 thanks for the laugh! Yep, I'm the bad guy who doesn't care about the "next victim" because I'M the one victim blaming. Oh, wait, no I'm not. You are. You're damn right someone doesn't have the "foresight" to write down a plate number WHEN THEY'RE GETTING RUN OFF THE FUCKING ROAD! You're trying to convince me that you've been run off the road, shot and had your carotid artery severed and you managed to get a license plate number? Bull. Fucking. Shit.
God I hate people like you who vilify victims. Seriously, why can't people like you get killed or nearly killed by assholes like that instead of good people like that poor woman?
I recall when friends and family visiting, they always had coffee in china cups and saucers. It was a much more settled world back then. Lovely sounds, never locked our doors, kids played out side unattended. It was very heaven.
and now the leftys have turned America into a 3rd world shit hole. Sad.
CLEARFLOSS CONSTRUCTION Canada as well.

Your dream of a fascist nation has come to an end.
There was crime then. You just never heard about it
"We will call her...Carol "
Just the way he says that 🙂, vintage RS
I really like it when the update flag flashes across the screen.
thank you for uploading, this was my favorite show as a kid. it's really cool to be able to watch them and get an instant update when you google the cases in another tab.
The theme music which frightened us all as children lol.
I’m glad Patti found her dad. I hope since the original airing that they were able to progress happily with their lives.
i the mom old fashioned hairstyle i love the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s style of dressing
Me, too. Love the way they style their hair and the clothes they wear.
@@Jovanna3313 yes!
"Something was wrong or... something wasn't right"
Holy shit dude, you cracked the fucking case
Who else wonders if Archangel was actually Carol's dad calling just to at least hear her voice one more time and reassure her that he was, at the time alive and well?
I thought so too it was an older man too
Interesting theory! But if Archangel really was Ray, then why did he disguise himself? Who was he hiding from?
After the stunt the army pulled with packing up their apartment, the last thing I would be doing is sitting down and having coffee with their rep. I would be at that base knocking heads together.
And thereafter they'd reciprocate knocking your ass in the head and then throwing you in the brig tough guy!!!!!! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
@@Booth1667 Oooh we're shaking in our boots. A lot of military men are all talk. You sound like one. Incel.

@@LRho Lol says a skinny jean wearing pole smoking mo mo! Your generation is so addicted to being hopeless victims you can crash a plane and blame the road conditions!
With the store about Patty English is sad. How her stepfather told her her birth father wasn't her father and that he was. But never showed love. Makes me think that her mother and stepfather may have prevented them from having a relationship. Why are people so cruel? Why do people if have kids if they aren't going to show them love?
So sad... I’m on this segment now..
Sometimes the feelings of spite anger and being unable to forgive cloud a person's judgement. I don't think it had anything to do with Patti herself I think Patti's mother and stepfather hated her birth dad and wanted to punish him. Sadly they chose the wrong way to do it and Patti was just a victim
I have the same questions in mind. Wish I knew the answers. I don't get it either.
Poor Patti. Glad she and dad were able to reunite
Love this show...Dennis is an imposter...no one will ever take Robert stacks place. This guys voice used to put me to sleep every night and I love these old ones they are the best. For some reason the new ones just aren't as suspenseful
It's 2020 and Ann Sigmin has still not been caught. Missing since October 26, 1986.
Make that 2022 but she is still missing.
Patti's stepmother seemed more like a mother than her mother did...
20:20 Anyone else think the mysterious caller 'Archangel' WAS her father? She should've concluded the call with "Bye, dad. It was great to hear from you after 40 years."
I always thought so
It's possible that he was having an affair. He was "working long hours" and was increasingly distancing himself from his family. So there's a good chance that he just did what Eminem's dad did and simply split.
The army said that he was a deserter...and that's probably what happened. He deserted both the army and his family. He probably changed his name and remarried (without divorcing wife #1) and started a new family. The new family was unaware that the old family existed.
Over 25 years later, the daughter publishes that article in the newspaper and the article features her father's photo. The father, realizing that he might eventually get exposed if such articles keep getting published, calls up the daughter to 'put the kibosh' (so to speak) on the daughter's investigation and poses as some government agent named "Archangel" and invents a story about what happened to her father. Since men who just abandon their families to start new ones are usually narcissists, he invents this wonderful spy story that paints her father as Cold War spy hero and shifts blame to the government for why he disappeared.
Archangel said "The article really rattled cages at the CIA and that it had really shook people up." My response: not likely. At that time, it had been over 25 years since her dad had gone missing. I doubt that there would've been anyone left at the CIA that would've even recognized his name. Just about everyone he worked with back in the 1940s would have been retired when the article came out. But if my theory is correct that Archangel is her dad and her dad's a narcissist, then it makes sense that he would describe the article about himself as being so important that it "rattled cages at the CIA".
Archangel revealed that an attempt was made on her father's life and, he had been relocated -- and that the whole time her dad was just a few miles away from Arlington, VA. Does it make sense that the government would protect her father from professional killers and the Soviet government by hiding him just a few miles away? If you were the government and he was a valuable asset, wouldn't you hide him several thousand miles away? I agree that he remained just a few miles away after disappearing. If he was having an affair and ran off with the other woman, he probably stayed at her house -- which could've easily been just a few miles away.
At 21:28 "Your father is alive."
No dispute there.
"His name is Nelson."
That could be a name that her dad started using after abandoning his family and the army. Or a name that was never used but was made up on the spot to throw her off the trail.
"He lives in a NATO country where there are high mountains and crystal clear lakes and a long time democracy."
Yeah, that describes the U.S.A. (as well as other countries). So, basically, he still lives in the U.S.
I'm no FBI profiler but the fact that he described the area using geographical features ("high mountains" and "crystal clear lakes"), tells me he's probably an outdoorsman who spends a lot of time hiking, camping, and fishing. A 'city folk' like myself would not use terms like that but would describe a country based on its cities and people and art and culture.
If the government DID hide her father, and he truly loved his family, wouldn't he try to reach out to them sometime over the past 40 years? Couldn't he have contacted his family after the assassination attempts blew over? Also, if the government hid him, why didn't it hide his family with him?
The piano music in the last segment is so beautiful - wish I could find it
I wish they would bring back unsolved mysteries with new stories and new updates.....
im happy for patty and her father
but i am more happy that her adult life has full of love
Achangle is her father
Interesting theory!
🤔🤔🤔🤔
Ark?
Her father is Nelson Mandela
the ending theme song use to put me to sleep back in the day when the show was in re- runs, when tv had timers, i would leave the tv on for an extra hour so it would lull me to sleep.
i rarely comment under the episodes but goodness gracious was Patti's story heartwarming. She's probably either gone or having greatgrandchildren, but may her family be well...
It's really depressing to think about the cars that passed right by "Carol"'s car and just kept driving. I know they couldn't see in, but the optimist in me thinks somebody would eventually stop and check to see if something was amiss about the car in the middle of the road (and the pessimist in me assumes somebody would have tried to steal it at some point.)
That little girl who played in the second story is so freaking ridiculously cute
Carol is good ppl 💯👏🌷😉
The case involving Kevin Hughes was solved as a as result of the assailant's hat left at the scene containing his cat's hair. That's a case worth discussing on Forensic Files.
I thought it was actually on forensic files☺️
@ I believe the motive was that it was feared the victim would expose the bribing scheme. The most disgusting thing is that the guy in the program, Chuck Dixon, was involved in the murder of the victim. He wound up dying in 2001.
It was not solved "as a result of" the hat. It was solved "as a result of" Dixon's death, people came forward and implicated him. He had paid off the gunman. The gun used in the homicide was test fired the evening of the murder. Knowing that, the police recovered the .38 bullets years later from the back yard. They then reinterview the ex-wife of the hired assassin who also had hired Hughes and was his manager. He was paid off by Dixon to murder Hughes.
The hat was used as evidence for a conviction, but the gun and witnesses and the ex-wife were who solved the crime. The police didn't even think there was a murder for hire or payola scheme going on, when it was well known by journalists just hours after the murder.
i bet it probably seems bizarre to younger viewers that kevin and his friend had to stop somewhere to use the phone but no cell phones back in the late 80's only land lines.
That’s what made the show. Had Kevin had one then he would still be alive today. I think that’s why the Farina version failed. Not having a cell phone created those situations.
@@unknownunknowns the farina version lasted 9 seasons ... That's not a fail by any means... Unless you personally didn't approve .
Hussein Nathwani Nine seasons? I thought it was two, from 2008 to 2010. In fact, Farina died in 2013, so that version can’t be nine seasons. Maybe not failed but it certainly didn’t last as long as the Stack version.
Young viewers were not born yesterday we know about landline phones.
@@purplelove010 i was joking around. younger people who choose to avail themselves of knowledge are smarter than ever now because there's so much available. if i had the internet when i was a teenager my life would've been much happier i'm convinced.
34:40 Tell it like it is Aaron Neville beautiful song.
I agree.
@Viry Luxan Had to do a little research I don’t know if this is what you’re looking for there’s Billy Joel Royal and Don Johnson versions.
Carol was very lucky that day, if that service truck did not come and then stop she would have been screwed.
He’s got the best Voice for this!
The point blank segment is crazy. Some crackpot shot that woman in the face for literally no reason and still haven’t caught him.
High mountians and crystal clear lakes, sounds like he is around Jasper or Revelstoke
"He then calmly and methodically shot her in the face."
Robert Stack's birth year is my maternal grandma's birth year. Interestingly, she used to tune into this show and I'd stay to watch it with her and my dad whenever it was on. She knew immediately who Robert Stack was the moment he appeared and spoke. Respect to them both.
I love the nostalgic feeling rewatching these episodes even though Robert stack had the creepiest voice back then (its rather soothing now 😂😂). It used to scare the 💩 out of me. But now watching it i can tell i was just a big baby as a child 🤣🤣🤣 I wish they still made this show (not the Netflix version IDC for that one)
Why is it that people who actually WANT to be parents are not allowed to and abusive assholes who should NEVER be around kids at all are often rewarded by being legally responsibe for them? FTW
Patty’s story is shattering my heart right now.. I have no idea how this segment will end but please let it be with her dad
Kevin's murder....Mullets and ugly denim everywhere!! Gotta love that 80s fashion. And yeah I grew up in the 80s LOL 😅😅😅
Kevin story so sad 😭 how can people kill people like that wow rip K
It's bad......some people.....real insanity.....live carefully.
Carol's story and many more on here is why I don't do rural areas.....
So very happy for Patti!!
The first story is so scary 😨
That road Brayman Hollow Road in CT is near where my boyfriend worked at Frito Lay. About 15 minutes away. A lot of weirdos out there who need help or want to be alone. Reminds me of the pine barrens in NJ or West Virginia. Just a lot of mentally unstable people who drank the dirty water or just drank too much in general. A bad gene pool. I’m not surprised this happened. Eastern Connecticut is full on trash. My boyfriend got stalked by a few cars while he came home every night. That area is cesspool. There’s also a lot of hauntings too. The woman’s name is Janice.
Watching every episode again to see if I'm on it. I have no memories before age of ten and most of my child hood after that is spotty at best.
Oh the mullets ...
