YES, I agree, robert stack had a one of kind voice, most thought he was scary during this show, but he was actually a very funny person, I've seen most of the movies he did years ago, but when you have a serious show, he had to be like a FBI agent on the show, i always watch unsolved mysteries on youtube, love to get it on DVD Too 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💯
The fact that Robert Stack stayed loyal to the show, literally right up to a year before he died, just showed how much he cared about what he was doing
@@asahel980 I think what fixxer means is that once he started doing Unsolved Mysteries, he continued hosting it right up to the year before his death. 1987-2002, he hosted it. Fifteen years. He was doing other work at the same time, it seems, and therefore it wasn't just about needing to work and not being able to get enough of anything else. And I think he had a distinguished enough career that he could have been comfortably financially independent had he wanted to. So it was about the program, and it wasn't just for the money. Fixxer presumably defines loyalty as sticking with something (not necessarily exclusively but consistently) for a long time, and not sticking with it just for material reasons and/or because you have no other choice. If so, then by those criteria, yes, he stayed loyal to the show.
He was definitely loyal to the point when he passed away. Robert Stack was the only one capable of hosting this brilliant show without even trying so hard. Others couldn’t replicate it as he did.
That segment did not age well, especially since we now know that there's little evidence of any satanic cults actually existing or committing murders. The father got caught up in a moral panic.
There was hysteria in the 80s/90s regarding the occult in America. It’s evident when you watch UM, it’s often referred to as a genuine theory or looming threat, also played prominent roles in large scale criminal cases, always coming to nothing.
Michael Martin should not have been jailed; despite the two witnesses seeing him at the crime scene, his alibi cleared . You're only supposed to find someone guilty 'beyond all reasonable doubt'; there was reasonable doubt here.
They made a good point about submitting Michael's previous altercation at the store to the court record (for the jurors to learn about). This may have had an effect on the jurors which made them develop a prejudice against Mr. Martin which pretty much sealed his fate. He was released back in 1999, though, which is over 20 years ago. I wonder where he is now, and what he's up to these days.
A life sentence and then 15 years on parole, for a robbery where nobody was even hurt, much less killed, is way too harsh. Shouldn’t a life sentence be for murder? Martin must have gotten a hanging judge. The Scott Martin case is one case from Unsolved Mysteries that still sticks with me.
Missy gets 7 months for helping Jerry murder a man, but Michael gets life in prison + parole for a robbery with no physical evidence. Our criminal justice system is fucked
But he just she just robbed she didn't care anymore that's why she didn't get life in prison he got a life in prison that's where he need to be Jerry Strickland he needs to be in prison for the rest of his life needs to die in prison for what he did too that man
Misty just got control by Jerry Strickland and she did whatever he told her to do cuz he was just controlling her and he did whatever he wanted to do and she listened to him cuz she didn't want to die like that man did
women are treated with kid gloves. they can cry and manipulate everyone to believe that they are innocent and people buy it and they get given light sentences. She knew what she was doing
@@monicamariamclean2198 Oh bullshit. Missy was an out-of-control teen who became and out-of-control adult. She had a two-hour window to set things right with that insurance guy, and she never said a word about the murder or lifted a finger toward the telephone on the desk.
Do you know why I love about Robert Stack's "Unsolved Mysteries" and Leonard Nimoy's "In Search Of ..."? They played it straight and presented the facts as best they could. They didn't get flashy. The shows weren't melodramatic or have the "reality TV" feel that too much shows have nowadays. I really miss that.
I'm a big fan of both programs. Both hosts had the same monotone, almost "scientific" tone to their voice. The way the film of both programs has aged over the years....gives the shows a kinda mysterious, dream-like quality. In certain ways, age has made them even better.
It started airing years before I was born, but I used to watch it with my mom when she was a stay at home mom and taking care of me as a baby/toddler. I liked it back then too even though the music and Stack’s voice scared me. 🤣
Could you imagine in the casting call getting him to read for the first time?!? I bet they got goosebumps and knew he was the one right away!! He's the bomb! 😁😏💯
This is such a dream to have these back on youtube. I remember when they were segmented and would continually get taken down. And I'm sorry Dennis Farina, but you sir are no Robert Stack
i may have had a youtube channel or two or three where they were uploaded. i still have all the orginal segments, but for a couple that never re-airred saved on an external drive- just incase
@@tekbarrier Not an insult to him or anything (he was good in The Hillside Stranglers movie too btw), but it's simply impossible to try to fill Robert Stack's shoes on this show.
It's funny how I've read about so many parents thinking they know their child such as in the case of Missy and her mom. But it turns out they really didn't know them.
@@puppiesarepower3682 a lot of parents don't like believing their kids did something bad. I remember as a kid, I had 2 friends fighting. When the one wrote to me calling the other one all kinds of names and trying to put me in the middle, I went to her mom and showed her the paper. Her mom swore that wasn't her handwriting. And that was something so trivial. Imagine if her kid had done something worse.
I was so terrified of the music and Robert Stacks voice as a child that I never gave it a chance. Today it Popped up in my feed and it sent a shiver down my spine. Decided to watch it and I'm glad I did. I love the update parts the best.
OMGGGG, me too lol. I would watch it on a school night with my family. Of course, after the episode ended, I'd have to go to bed for school the next day. My bedroom was down the hall from mom's, and even the walk to my room was nerve-racking for I was terrified someone would jump out at me while on my way to my room lol. And then, I'd race for the bed, jump under the covers and leave them on me all night. Thoughts of someone in my bedroom closet would not leave my mind either. The whole ordeal was unbelievably scary...and all because of the dark feature of this show and Robert's damn voice! ! I still recall that cold sweat whenever I think about it!
There's a video of a heavy set woman going to mcdonalds and trying to order a 'mclobster' etc and gets really irritated and as she's walking away she trips and falls and says 'OHHH, I've mcfallen!!' and I cant help but think of it.
Robert stack seemed to be the kind of person that took his time,made a full effort to tell everything perfectly. I sure really truly honestly did like him in almost anything he was in no matter what it was . When he passed away I felt a loss of someone special . May he rest in peace.
In the 1980s I was a busy kid with cheerleading, boyfriend, friends, school activities, etc, but when Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack came on once a week you better believe I was planted on the sofa with my mom and sisters clutching a blanket to help cover my eyes and glued to the television. The music still gives me shivers. Stack and Nimoy are perfect examples of what we need to put back into programming. Straight forward, classy presenters and interesting content without relying on overly dramatized or sensationalized storytelling. I really miss the plethora of good entertainment available back then. It seems now a days it all things selfish, shocking or dark.
I have always loved this show.! Robert Stack brought it to life. I especially loved the Ghost Stories and UFO episodes. He is the Art Bell of Televisone. I miss his voice.
The last segment really got to me. Im a 33 year old man...and i got teared up watching this. God...think of the hell those poor men and women went through back in WW2.
@@ginaryan2093 what does trump have to with anything 80 years after WW2.? He's not even president anymore and you psychopaths still can't stop bringing him up. Pathetic
“My teenage son was an expert diver and rock climber, and would never drink beer as he was underage. He was obviously murdered by the satanic Wiccan D&D nerd.”
I believe he was mudered by that creep but it is a common misconception that Wicca is Satanism and they ARE NOT the same...wicca is believing in spirits are in nature and every thing is always part of a greater good, true wiccans are white witches and everything is done w good intentions, also true wiccans DO NOT sacrifice living things...its completely against the religion...this puke is using a religion to justify and rationalize his behavuor (alot of killers do that)
@@marietanner7538 Let's be real here, the dude was probably murdered by the "friend" who warned the dad about the dude getting into the occult. They probably fought over it and the dude was killed, then it was poorly covered up.
@@victorformosa2825 people who want to promote themselves in spirituality they are told what they want to hear from satan. everyhting apart from God and His Son Jesus is satanic including humanism. Satans lies in teh garden of Eden are teh same lies believed today by the whole world.
He never said his son didn't drink beer, because he was underage. He just said he didn't drink beer. And the toxicology report supported there were no substances in him, which seems to support what the dad said. Did he know all about what his son was doing? Of course not. What parent does about their teenage kids. The kid could've drank sometimes, who knows, but he didn't have it in him at the time of his death. That's fact. Also, the dad simply pointed out that his son had experience in diving and rock climbing, which is relevant because it would mean it's far less likely he fell out of clumsiness and inexperience or that he would simply drown because he could not swim well, while intoxicated on beer he never drank and did not have in his system. I don't get the sarcasm here. I know. Six months old post, but since 34 people were so ready to like it, I felt I had to say something rational here. And, in the 80's we didn't have that much knowledge about what we now deem quite normal. The reenactments, the wicca, paganism and D&D. In those days there was still hysteria of that. Like the remnants 'witch hunt days' due to total lack of knowledge and misunderstandings and fear were still prevalent.
Millennial, here. Was watching Unsolved Mysteries in the early-to-mid-90s. Wasn't even aware there was anyone else but Robert Stack doing Unsolved Mysteries.
Gary E. Ko tahaha yes I know, I’m just so excited to finally have access to the Robert Stack episodes again. Nothing against Mr. Farina, I just think the originals are a far better crafted series overall. Less sensationalized/dramatized and more about the individuals and their stories. I think I’ve binged about 17 episodes in the past 2 days... 🤓
Jedi bunny take a gander at 31:51,is that the picturesque view from the pacific coast highway?or is it the beach from the original planet of the apes ending?
It's almost inconceivable that it's been over thirty two years since this show first aired. I was four years old when this series graced the air waves. The amount of quality that went into the production is almost unmatched on TV to this very day. Unsolved Mysteries is a bonafide classic that will continue to stand the test of time. Robert Stack is a fucking legend in his own right. The large and loyal fan base this program accrued over the years is a testament to it's staying power. This show was indeed a landmark in the history of television.
I'm 25 years old and I was born in 1997 way after this TV show was around. And I absolutely love watching it Robert Stack is such a fantastic narrator and host. So thank you Robert Stack you've made me a huge fan of this show. May you Rest In Peace
Robert Stack narrated the show until 2002; after that the show was periodically resurrected and some other guy took over hosting....I can't remember his name, but it's on this channel.
elle belle woman generally don't receive the same treatment as men when it's comes to crimes . Many serial killers 's female accomplices are free to day
Yep, but a lot of WW2 Allied soldiers definitely regretted going to war and fighting the Germans, look at how corrupt the world is under the Allies and the western world decline... interesting
The terms of his parole probably require him to remain in Texas. That means he'll be a target for those police/prosecutors any time they have an unsolved robbery/murder. He'll likely be returning to prison at a later date...because of future accusations.
@caught you in another lie Tragic, yet one of the goofiest chains of events I've heard of in a long time. Guy paid a really high price for being an idiot.
The incident in the store can be put down to an act of rash stupidity and too much drink, which is soon regretted but too late. But holding up the gas station is real crime and requires genuine criminal intent. Was Martin the sort to do it? Apart from the store incident he had no criminal record and had not been linked to any crime in between the two incidents. The only thing linking Martin to the crime was two ID witnesses, and thousands of cases have proven they can be so unreliable.
I just wanted to say, thank you so much for posting these videos. I remember watching this show as a teenager. It was my favorite show, although, it did scare the daylights out of me. My favorite part of the show.... the updates. Good or bad, those families had closure and that's what all of these families needed. It's a real shame the show no longer airs new episodes. With all of the old and new unsolved mysteries, kidnappings, etc., and being able to reach people with all the technology we have now....who knows how many more people this would reach go throughout the world.
Is it possible Michael Scott Martin has a "doppelganger", someone with the same name and looks, but has no criminal record, that did it? That's my gut feeling on this.
@@johnfaux8651 cashier being in on it rings true. The cops probably indicated that they wanted him to ID their suspect and so they “helped” each other.
Shocking to think a man can get 20 years for a robbery of four hundred dollars and its not fully proven with huge doubts while a teenager who aided and abetted a murder of a man and the stealing of 10000 dollars gets 7 months.. How unfair that is....I really feel sorry that man...
It doesn´t matter how much money was the product of the robbery . Law punishes the fact of stealing. Beyond of that circunstance, law is a fuckin´ shit!
@@martincano7453 Under the law the amount does matter that's why there is a charge for both larceny and grand larceny. Usually, at least now days, the robbery or assault charge will carry a heavier sentence than either charge for stealing though. Regardless of all that how can it have only taken 15 minutes to consider this case when he had 5 witnesses that he was 70 miles away. And that cop who was involved in the earlier offense just happened to be a witness AND was given the case after requesting it? Come on.
Justin Krickovich bruh no kidding I’m 38 so o remember life without cell phones (pre 2002ish) and yeah. Life was crazy in the 80’s. No google no instant communication no UA-cam.... I would’ve lost my goddamn mind
Yup we only had pirated cable and MTV back when they played music videos that we could record on vhs tapes in a vhs machine that weight about 40lbs. Then we could watch it on a 35 inch color TV that weighed about 60lbs. We could let the landline phone ☎️ ring and the answering machine could record a message. You could put a dime in a telephone booth and make a call. Good times lol.
That is true love right there. Lost her husband in a war after only being married for 2 years and she never remarried because NO other man could replace her husband and the love she had for him. That is absolutely beautiful. I’ve had the pleasure of being with my husband for 4 years now and we are getting ready to welcome our first child into this world. My husband is quite a bit older than myself and I pray that our little boy looks just like my husband so that when he leaves me to be with the good Lord that I’m able to look at my boy and see the amazing man I fell in love with (hopefully that will be many MANY years from now).
Generation Z kids would down vote. The theme song isn't rap. The host isn't a reality tv star. And the episode is longer than their 8 second attention span.
That guy was right I was robbed at gun point working at a gas station years ago. You never really get over it. It sticks with you for the rest of your life.
Very rare to find someone so faithful such as this widow named Meryl Page. May God bless her valiant soul and may his beloved husband RIP till they gather together afresh.
Seriously! I just watched this tonight and knew they would update and say she got off. I hate how everyone was talking about what a nice, sweet girl she was before, too. She did something horrible and got away with it.
Not surprising. It's relatively rare for women to get convicted of anything and, if they do, they rarely get much more than probation. I'm surprised law enforcement even acknowledged she did anything really bad.
@@Nay-kp6uu It's one of those dumb technicalities. Guy's an idiot, but the system severely over-reacted. He gets probation for stealing a kielbasa from a grocery store and making a half-assed knife/gun threat, then they accuse him of a robbery that breaks his probation deal, yet the State has a nothing burger case. The case is entirely based on witness testimony, but the suspect has more witnesses supporting his position than the State has supporting theirs. The system was just showing how hard-assed it could be in this case.

@@ingridj7070 He'll be on edge the rest of his life. That police department will show his photo to every witness to a crime and, eventually, someone will finger him again, for another crime.
PorkyPricklyPant, unless someone else comes forward to confess there is no way he will ever see his conviction overturned. Even a confession may not be enough to reverse a conviction or win a new trial. Many folks don’t understand that the finding of fact by a jury of guilt or innocence is practically irrevocable. Appeals are nearly always based upon issues related to due process, e.g., whether errors were committed during the trial, and whether it was a fair trial, not whether the convict is guilty or innocent. To reverse a conviction through an appeal the burden of proof is reversed: you have to be a able to prove innocence, not the existence of reasonable doubt, using evidence that had it been presented to the first jury would in all likelihood have resulted in a different verdict.
I'm not feeling so bad for a guy who drives around drunk and was willing shoot his gun over such a small thing. In so many ways he was heading towards prison anyway.
I used to watch this show on Lifetime in highschool when they showed it at 12am. Man I had to turn the lights on lol.... at least the dog was in the same room, but he was always passed out on his back so I felt alone 😂😂.
The fact that your dog sleeps on his back means he feels completely safe. Idk if that's any comfort but animals know before us when there's a problem so just watch how he acts.
Missy got off VERY easy here. Double-cross a sweet guy like Elmer, and get seven months in a juvi home? At least Jerry and his two brain cells will never see the light of day again.
I cannot thank you enough for posting these episodes!!!!! UM was such a big part of my childhood and got me interested in the true-crime genre. It creeps me out as much as it did then and that's why I love it!
I started out watching these with my grandmum....continued watching them until I graduated high school. Apparently, they went downhill after '95 or so. The older ones, between '87 and '93 or so, were the best.
@@robertgibbs7513 Every time I hear of someone being freed from prison after decades for murders that modern technology proved them innocent of, all I can think about is how the murder victim and their family and friends never got justice, an innocent person lost years they can never get back, and the killer probably murdered even more people.
The widow Rapley made me cry, bless her heart. It's been a long time since this episode, so I imagine they're back together now. This was a sweet story. PS, I googled her (Merryll Page-Rapley) and she did pass away in 1990.
That last episode of Mail Call was touching to say the least. My grandfather was a WWII Navy Veteran who fought against the Japanese. I got to read some of his letters years ago during his time in the Pacific and what he dealt with during his travels on board. Makes you feel you were right there with him. Wish I knew what had happened to those letters as they are something you won't find in history books.

The moral panic of the 1980's is hilarious--- "Dungeons and Dragons" the gateway to satanic murder cults. That's interesting... all I remember from my D&D days is dorks who also dabbled in games of hackie sack!
When I was little and my mom had this show on I’d scream “I’m scared change it!” Lol his voice terrified me. It was like his voice took away my innocent view of life. Now I love the show but it still gives me the creeps sometimes...
were martin's fingerprints found on/in the gas station attendant's stolen car? this fact was avoided; conclusion no fingerprints found beloning to martin. finally, the determined cop asked to be put on martin's case, so made certain to affect the photo line-up. this show adds to the fact that the best defense is to remain clean at all times.
Damn, this show was so scary and I'm a big young guy. My mom turned me to this show as a kid. Still, I could watch the Robert Stack years episodes over and over again. Especially the ones about murders and missing persons. I still have yet to check out the Dennis Farina ones because I've seen him for so long as a comedic actor.
I know it's pointless to bring up, but is anyone else curious how a juvenile could be asst manager of a gas station but only goes to kiddy jail for her part in murder?!
Real Television right here! Never bettered and can't be emulated either. We love Rob Stack and continue to watch all the old/throwback episodes in his memory.
She was barely more than a kid. She had a baby with that rapist and I'm sure he'd convinced her that they were in love. I'm sure if we were stuck in that situation we'd do some awful shit to survive as well.
Missy served seven months in juvenile detention and was released at age 19. She returned home to her parents along with her children. She had another kid for Jerry while they were on the run!
Just looked up Brad Lollar, the prosecutor of the Michael Scott Martin case...he is still practicing law, and interestingly enough he is now a court-appointed public defender in the Dallas, Texas area. From prosecutor to public defender....he sure seemed to feel somewhat guilty after sending Martin to prison, I wonder if this case, in some way, swayed him. In my opinion, Michael Scott Martin was royally screwed on that one.
They appear to be released on here by Film Rise (the current owner/distributor of all the older UM episodes) so they probably are here to stay. It's also available for free in full episode format on the Tubi & Pluto TV apps & Netflix just bought the rights to produce new episodes
Oh the nostalgia!! Damn I miss being a kid... I was so young when Mom watched this show and I got pulled into them lol. I feel bad for those involved with these stories tho and I hope all who lived the sad & painful stories have found comfort thru the years 💜
When my grandma died, we buried her with all the letters my grandpa sent her during World War 2. They were married for 58 years.

He was released back in 1999, though, which is over 20 years ago. I wonder where he is now, and what he's up to these days.
And the cop put in charge of the investigation should not have been, if he was a witness and also had a bias against Martin.

I'm a big fan of both programs. Both hosts had the same monotone, almost "scientific" tone to their voice. The way the film of both programs has aged over the years....gives the shows a kinda mysterious, dream-like quality. In certain ways, age has made them even better.
Unsolved Mysteries, In Search Of, Arthur C Clark Mysterious series, and Sightings were my go to shows growing up.
I'm 34 and this show still freaks me out. I have no idea why I am watching this by myself at 3 in the morning.
Sheena Jackson Because fear is a real emotion. I do it just to feel something.
It’s 3:34 am I’m watching alone with the lights out
It's creepy to watch even during the day.
I go to sleep streaming it. Robert Stacks voice is the only thing that calms me.
😅😅😅
As a child i was so scared of this show but yet so addicted, as an adult i still love it , i can watch each episode over and over. RIP Robert Stack,
It started airing years before I was born, but I used to watch it with my mom when she was a stay at home mom and taking care of me as a baby/toddler. I liked it back then too even though the music and Stack’s voice scared me. 🤣
For real I would be at my grandmas house by myself late at night watching this and think there’s aliens going till land and abduct me or some shit
I would like to thank the people who hired Robert Stack and film rise for uploading these videos 🙌👏❤️❤️
Could you imagine in the casting call getting him to read for the first time?!? I bet they got goosebumps and knew he was the one right away!! He's the bomb! 😁😏💯
@Mourning Star your comment is as creepy as your face lolz 🤣🤣🤣
@@jcaylalove8713 lol
Great sentiment. I feel the same.
Robert was the perfect choice
This is such a dream to have these back on youtube. I remember when they were segmented and would continually get taken down. And I'm sorry Dennis Farina, but you sir are no Robert Stack
i may have had a youtube channel or two or three where they were uploaded. i still have all the orginal segments, but for a couple that never re-airred saved on an external drive- just incase
Don’t be sorry. Dennis Farina sucked.
Dennis Farina wasn't too bad
@@tekbarrier Not an insult to him or anything (he was good in The Hillside Stranglers movie too btw), but it's simply impossible to try to fill Robert Stack's shoes on this show.

And that was something so trivial. Imagine if her kid had done something worse.
@@kaylapounds1359Did she ever believe you?
I was so terrified of the music and Robert Stacks voice as a child that I never gave it a chance. Today it Popped up in my feed and it sent a shiver down my spine. Decided to watch it and I'm glad I did. I love the update parts the best.
OMGGGG, me too lol. I would watch it on a school night with my family. Of course, after the episode ended, I'd have to go to bed for school the next day. My bedroom was down the hall from mom's, and even the walk to my room was nerve-racking for I was terrified someone would jump out at me while on my way to my room lol. And then, I'd race for the bed, jump under the covers and leave them on me all night. Thoughts of someone in my bedroom closet would not leave my mind either. The whole ordeal was unbelievably scary...and all because of the dark feature of this show and Robert's damn voice! ! I still recall that cold sweat whenever I think about it!
I loved, and still love, the theme music.

Robert stack seemed to be the kind of person that took his time,made a full effort to tell everything perfectly. I sure really truly honestly did like him in almost anything he was in no matter what it was . When he passed away I felt a loss of someone special . May he rest in peace.
It’s a shame the Stack can’t be around to hear the accolades he gets here. New generations of fans he never got to enjoy.
They’ve got circlestansive evidence and they aren’t afraid to use it.

In the 1980s I was a busy kid with cheerleading, boyfriend, friends, school activities, etc, but when Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack came on once a week you better believe I was planted on the sofa with my mom and sisters clutching a blanket to help cover my eyes and glued to the television. The music still gives me shivers. Stack and Nimoy are perfect examples of what we need to put back into programming. Straight forward, classy presenters and interesting content without relying on overly dramatized or sensationalized storytelling. I really miss the plethora of good entertainment available back then. It seems now a days it all things selfish, shocking or dark.
My mom would pop popcorn and we would be in front of the TV watching each Wednesday night at 8 PM. It was our favorite show.
Heck yes
I have always loved this show.! Robert Stack brought it to life. I especially loved the Ghost Stories and UFO episodes. He is the Art Bell of Televisone. I miss his voice.
Just look at how dapper and handsome Robert Stack is! What a beautiful outfit he's wearing!
I remember watching these over 20 years ago and now i only watch this after midnight. In bed. With the lights off

“My teenage son was an expert diver and rock climber, and would never drink beer as he was underage. He was obviously murdered by the satanic Wiccan D&D nerd.”
I believe he was mudered by that creep but it is a common misconception that Wicca is Satanism and they ARE NOT the same...wicca is believing in spirits are in nature and every thing is always part of a greater good, true wiccans are white witches and everything is done w good intentions, also true wiccans DO NOT sacrifice living things...its completely against the religion...this puke is using a religion to justify and rationalize his behavuor (alot of killers do that)
@@marietanner7538 Let's be real here, the dude was probably murdered by the "friend" who warned the dad about the dude getting into the occult.

@@victorformosa2825 people who want to promote themselves in spirituality they are told what they want to hear from satan.
everyhting apart from God and His Son Jesus is satanic including humanism. Satans lies in teh garden of Eden are teh same lies believed today by the whole world.
He never said his son didn't drink beer, because he was underage. He just said he didn't drink beer. And the toxicology report supported there were no substances in him, which seems to support what the dad said. Did he know all about what his son was doing? Of course not. What parent does about their teenage kids. The kid could've drank sometimes, who knows, but he didn't have it in him at the time of his death. That's fact. Also, the dad simply pointed out that his son had experience in diving and rock climbing, which is relevant because it would mean it's far less likely he fell out of clumsiness and inexperience or that he would simply drown because he could not swim well, while intoxicated on beer he never drank and did not have in his system. I don't get the sarcasm here. I know. Six months old post, but since 34 people were so ready to like it, I felt I had to say something rational here. And, in the 80's we didn't have that much knowledge about what we now deem quite normal. The reenactments, the wicca, paganism and D&D. In those days there was still hysteria of that. Like the remnants 'witch hunt days' due to total lack of knowledge and misunderstandings and fear were still prevalent.
I will forever love unsolved mysteries with Robert Stack no matter how many crime shows come out nothing can compare to this show
Couldn't agree more !
Unsolved Mysteries is also a big help to Law Enforcement and our communities as well !
Generation X loves Robert Stack and Unsolved Mysteries!
cantfindmykeys Im a millennial and I like Robert Stack I prefer him over Dennis Farina.
Yes another genXer here- i was in high school during the show’s original airing and loved it then and love it now
Millennial, here. Was watching Unsolved Mysteries in the early-to-mid-90s. Wasn't even aware there was anyone else but Robert Stack doing Unsolved Mysteries.

He has tact,
He shares facts,
But most importantly,
He’s back.
Gary E. Ko tahaha yes I know, I’m just so excited to finally have access to the Robert Stack episodes again. Nothing against Mr. Farina, I just think the originals are a far better crafted series overall. Less sensationalized/dramatized and more about the individuals and their stories.

It's almost inconceivable that it's been over thirty two years since this show first aired. I was four years old when this series graced the air waves. The amount of quality that went into the production is almost unmatched on TV to this very day. Unsolved Mysteries is a bonafide classic that will continue to stand the test of time. Robert Stack is a fucking legend in his own right. The large and loyal fan base this program accrued over the years is a testament to it's staying power. This show was indeed a landmark in the history of television.
It's genuinely amazing that, counting the specials that were done before it became an actual series, this show is older than I am.

Agreed. I also like Forensic Files/Medical Detectives.

Michael Martin was released from prison in 1999, but will remain on parole for the rest of his life. He is still determined to clear his name.
The terms of his parole probably require him to remain in Texas. That means he'll be a target for those police/prosecutors any time they have an unsolved robbery/murder. He'll likely be returning to prison at a later date...because of future accusations.
@caught you in another lie Tragic, yet one of the goofiest chains of events I've heard of in a long time. Guy paid a really high price for being an idiot.
@@the_gilded_age_phoenix8717 In the Dennis Farina version, Farina said Martin will be on parole for the rest of his life.
@@TheJman2600 Exactly....crazy outcome, especially considering he was mostly exonerated.
Such a sad story but his behaviour at the supermarket set him up for suspicion
That Michael Scott case is really messed up. 5 witnesses to 1 witness. Not to mention three didn't even know him that well. WOw!
And no physical evidence linking Martin to the crime, just two ID witnesses, and thousands of cases have proven how unreliable they can be.
The incident in the store can be put down to an act of rash stupidity and too much drink, which is soon regretted but too late. But holding up the gas station is real crime and requires genuine criminal intent. Was Martin the sort to do it? Apart from the store incident he had no criminal record and had not been linked to any crime in between the two incidents. The only thing linking Martin to the crime was two ID witnesses, and thousands of cases have proven they can be so unreliable.
I just wanted to say, thank you so much for posting these videos. I remember watching this show as a teenager. It was my favorite show, although, it did scare the daylights out of me. My favorite part of the show.... the updates. Good or bad, those families had closure and that's what all of these families needed. It's a real shame the show no longer airs new episodes. With all of the old and new unsolved mysteries, kidnappings, etc., and being able to reach people with all the technology we have now....who knows how many more people this would reach go throughout the world.

It was something like this, or the cashier was In on the crime the whole time, or the cops were.

Shocking to think a man can get 20 years for a robbery of four hundred dollars and its not fully proven with huge doubts while a teenager who aided and abetted a murder of a man and the stealing of 10000 dollars gets 7 months.. How unfair that is....I really feel sorry that man...
The women in these stories who help their male counterparts in their crimes always get off easy. So much for a fair justice system.
Female privilege
That’s texas for ya. Some states have a repeat offender thing where no matter how small the crime is you’re going away for a long time.
It doesn´t matter how much money was the product of the robbery .
Law punishes the fact of stealing. Beyond of that circunstance, law is a fuckin´ shit!
@@martincano7453 Under the law the amount does matter that's why there is a charge for both larceny and grand larceny. Usually, at least now days, the robbery or assault charge will carry a heavier sentence than either charge for stealing though.
Regardless of all that how can it have only taken 15 minutes to consider this case when he had 5 witnesses that he was 70 miles away.
And that cop who was involved in the earlier offense just happened to be a witness AND was given the case after requesting it? Come on.
Loved this show as a kid. Now looking back, days before cell phones were wild.
Justin Krickovich bruh no kidding I’m 38 so o remember life without cell phones (pre 2002ish) and yeah. Life was crazy in the 80’s. No google no instant communication no UA-cam.... I would’ve lost my goddamn mind
Yup we only had pirated cable and MTV back when they played music videos that we could record on vhs tapes in a vhs machine that weight about 40lbs. Then we could watch it on a 35 inch color TV that weighed about 60lbs. We could let the landline phone ☎️ ring and the answering machine could record a message. You could put a dime in a telephone booth and make a call. Good times lol.
That is true love right there. Lost her husband in a war after only being married for 2 years and she never remarried because NO other man could replace her husband and the love she had for him. That is absolutely beautiful. I’ve had the pleasure of being with my husband for 4 years now and we are getting ready to welcome our first child into this world. My husband is quite a bit older than myself and I pray that our little boy looks just like my husband so that when he leaves me to be with the good Lord that I’m able to look at my boy and see the amazing man I fell in love with (hopefully that will be many MANY years from now).

Not surprising. It's relatively rare for women to get convicted of anything and, if they do, they rarely get much more than probation. I'm surprised law enforcement even acknowledged she did anything really bad.
@@Nay-kp6uu It's one of those dumb technicalities. Guy's an idiot, but the system severely over-reacted.

PorkyPricklyPant, unless someone else comes forward to confess there is no way he will ever see his conviction overturned. Even a confession may not be enough to reverse a conviction or win a new trial. Many folks don’t understand that the finding of fact by a jury of guilt or innocence is practically irrevocable. Appeals are nearly always based upon issues related to due process, e.g., whether errors were committed during the trial, and whether it was a fair trial, not whether the convict is guilty or innocent. To reverse a conviction through an appeal the burden of proof is reversed: you have to be a able to prove innocence, not the existence of reasonable doubt, using evidence that had it been presented to the first jury would in all likelihood have resulted in a different verdict.
I'm not feeling so bad for a guy who drives around drunk and was willing shoot his gun over such a small thing. In so many ways he was heading towards prison anyway.

Damn, this show was so scary and I'm a big young guy. My mom turned me to this show as a kid. Still, I could watch the Robert Stack years episodes over and over again. Especially the ones about murders and missing persons. I still have yet to check out the Dennis Farina ones because I've seen him for so long as a comedic actor.
I know it's pointless to bring up, but is anyone else curious how a juvenile could be asst manager of a gas station but only goes to kiddy jail for her part in murder?!
Watched this show as a kid. Thanks for the uploads. Greetings from New Zealand 👍
The Martin case just proves how bad the jury system is in the US.
Real Television right here! Never bettered and can't be emulated either. We love Rob Stack and continue to watch all the old/throwback episodes in his memory.
My children didn't lie to me....Says every parent in denial.
Participated in murder & does 7 months in a juvenile facility.. not to mention it probably didn’t even leave her with a felony on her record. Wow 😲
Right
She was barely more than a kid. She had a baby with that rapist and I'm sure he'd convinced her that they were in love. I'm sure if we were stuck in that situation we'd do some awful shit to survive as well.
She testified against the guy. That played a huge part in her light sentence.
While the guy who took 400 for a gas station gets life...
@@meganwright9763 they didn't prove the guy took the 400 either...
Missy served seven months in juvenile detention and was released at age 19. She returned home to her parents along with her children. She had another kid for Jerry while they were on the run!
she was in love with him
45:55 till the end...I hope I find a love like that... 😞😢😞😢
Been waitin for some stack
THUG LIFE Right?!! We’re in luck, the Stack is *_BACK!_*
Similar to a junkie in need of some crack?
Tru dat!😆
@@I____HEAVY____I or a prostitute ingesting antibiotics to cure her clap?
Rickie James lmao
Just looked up Brad Lollar, the prosecutor of the Michael Scott Martin case...he is still practicing law, and interestingly enough he is now a court-appointed public defender in the Dallas, Texas area. From prosecutor to public defender....he sure seemed to feel somewhat guilty after sending Martin to prison, I wonder if this case, in some way, swayed him. In my opinion, Michael Scott Martin was royally screwed on that one.
He must be making bank!
A public defender?🤭 From Hero to Zero! Poetic🤣
That last story was really touching. Not many relationships like that exist anymore
Finally Robert Stack version on UA-cam course I wouldn’t be surprise that it would be only a matter of time until they delete these again.
They appear to be released on here by Film Rise (the current owner/distributor of all the older UM episodes) so they probably are here to stay. It's also available for free in full episode format on the Tubi & Pluto TV apps & Netflix just bought the rights to produce new episodes
@@monkeyman2407 To be fair, The F.B.I. Files I believe were in a very similar situation, but yet they are now gone
This my favorite show in history Robert stack hands down the best childhood memories
Robert Stack, what a great guy he was! Amen! 👀👽🌞🌟
Robert Stack always looked and sounded sooo scary to me !!!😂😂
i never found him scary. The music and the murder segments tho...
Oh the nostalgia!! Damn I miss being a kid... I was so young when Mom watched this show and I got pulled into them lol. I feel bad for those involved with these stories tho and I hope all who lived the sad & painful stories have found comfort thru the years 💜
