It's 2019 and John Paul has never been found, although he had been spotted in Fiji shortly after this episode aired. I have no doubt that he murdered Colleen and then disappeared. This program doesn't mention it, but in 1981 John's first wife also suddenly disappeared and has never been found.
Partial update on Colleen Wood Unresolved. Detectives were able to identify and locate the two women who had used Colleen's credit cards. They told the detectives that the same man had taken them to different ATMs and given them Colleen's cards and PIN numbers. He paid them ten to twenty percent of the money and kept the rest for himself. The women identified the man as John Paul. Colleen's son Michael believes that he accessed the credit card information from her computer. Detectives first received tips that John Paul was in Montego Bay, Jamaica; however, he vanished before they could question him. In 2004, after the Unsolved Mysteries segment re-aired, a viewer recognized him as someone living in Fiji; he had since re-named the boat the Diamond Girl. However, because Fiji does not have an extradition treaty with the United States, authorities could do nothing. Since then, John Paul has been spotted in ports throughout Asia and Europe. An acquaintance of John's was on his boat in while in Fiji in 2004 and was suspicious of him and his connections to Colleen. She managed to smuggle a laptop from the boat and give it to one of the detectives. It was later confirmed that the computer belonged to Colleen. Information on the computer helped the detectives determine how John Paul made some of the transactions with Colleen's account. The last report that detectives have about John Paul's whereabouts was from 2009, when he and the boat were in Thailand. He intended to open a dive shop off the coast of Thailand. In 2011, John Paul reportedly sold the Diamond Girl. He is still considered a person of interest in the case, but has never returned to the United States. Sadly, Colleen has never been located, although authorities are certain the she is deceased. unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Colleen_Wood
There was a story they did once about a woman who rented a house from some random guy. He became obsessed with her and would come into her house without warning. One scene, she was standing in her bathroom and looked into her mirror and he was standing behind her. I audibly gasped. That is one of my worst fears! I was just starting to think about moving away to attend college in another town. My grandma was watching with me and said, "That's why I want you to live in a safe apartment with other students. Someplace where you aren't alone." That story has stuck with me all these years.
@@Openyoureyez83 Or the guy can not be a pervert and leave someone alone. People have the right to rent a home safely without being victims of stalking. Guy sounds like he needed to be locked up.

@@ec4221 Unsolved mysteries is coming back, but they changed the format. I think it will be on netflix. Basically, it's only going to show 1 story now, instead of a bunch. Not too exited about the new format, but lets give it a shot.
Y'all, PLEASE do background checks on people you are interested in dating! It's extremely important. Had Colleen taken the time to research John Paul like her son did, there's no way she would've gone anywhere with him!
many people or most have a dark past. people can change not only they names but also they attitude and way of life. people can also be framed as well as wrongfully accused. you could be branded a baby killer, and be innocent. but the internet would ruin you regardless. even innocent the world would view you as guilty and demand your neck. your not wrong its a good idea. is a paranoid way to live though, i bet you check every ones background. do people deserve 2nd chances?
Easier said than done! if any woman going on a date with a potentially abusive man who has a history with a lot of ex-girlfriends who were "crazy" or he already love-bombing after one or a couple of dates, RUN! chance is he would likely abuse you in some form.
The Spooky/cool music with the once in a lifetime great voice of Robert Stack carried this show. Some episodes were really boring but Robert Stack made some of them more interesting with his voice narration and the actual episodes that were amazing he just brought them over the top !
And how after 4 years on the run, they catch him, convict him of murder, and he's already released as of the airing of this show, so he did a VERY light sentence for murdering his wife, burning her while still alive, faking his death, and running for 4 years. That's insane. Our criminal justice system is crazy
Unsolved Mysteries : BEST SHOW n THEME SOME EVER !! As an early 80's kid I loved this show since it was intriguing, awesome, mysterious, n oh yea Scary AF 😂 And Robert Stack didn't help also.. 😂😂👍👍
Natascha's mom says "no way, she wouldn't have used." Parents always think they know everything about their children. Well the parents are usually the last to know their children's secrets. Sad but true
you are right! it happens on this show ALL THE TIME. the mothers are always delusional. "I KNOW my daughter, she would NEVER leave her children to run off with a prison inmate." UPDATE!! the daughter was caught living with the prisoner she helped escape for ten years.
He wasn't guilty of 1st degree murder. That's the only crime that carries a life sentence in MN. He committed 2nd degree murder and served his time. That's how you get out of prison.
She said she know her daughter(Natasha) and she would never do that. NO you could NEVER know your her. Because 1 you don't babysit her 24/7. Number 2 she was a teen she will NOT tell you everything. # 3 you never say you know someone because you can NEVER know anybody regardless how long you know them.
Every time that someone is found after committing a brutal crime, then escaped and was found, always ends wth... “served their time and has since been released”.
FlixCreEightR Yes, that’s very unfair! Captured. After four years on the run, Gordon Weaver was arrested in a remote area near Florence, Oregon under the name of David Carson. A woman saw a mugshot of Weaver on the AMW website and called the police. In 2005, Weaver admitted to killing Jean, but claimed that it was an accident and that she was already dead when he set the fire. The medical examiner, however, testified that she died of smoke inhalation. Weaver was found guilty of second-degree murder and was sentenced to twenty-five years in prison. In October 2006, Weaver's parents were arrested and charged in helping him to elude the authorities. In 2007, Weaver was ordered a new trial and in February of 2010 was once again convicted of her murder. This time, however, he was sentenced to just 18 3/4 years in prison. He was released on parole in November of 2016. unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Gordon_Weaver
It's so scary to think of how many murderers and rapists there are out there that have "served their time." This is one of the biggest reasons people murder and rape. They get shown by the so called "justice system" that they will just get a slap on the hand. Even criminals that have been deemed to be highly likely to offend again get let go. It's sad when murderers and rapists get less time than someone who's in for possession.
A LOT PEOPLE GET MARRIED BUT THEY ARE NOT HAPPY THEY HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT THEIR RELATIONSHIP SHOULD BE LIKE BUT THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHER SEES IT ANOTHER WAY AND IT BECOMES A POWER STRUGGLE AND THEY ARE MISERABLE

Came over here from Dannel Hallan's coverage of the Natasha story. After watching Dannel's coverage of the story it sounds so much like a police cover-up, as she goes into much greater detail of the story.
My ex’s mother thinks I got him to start smoking weed & get in trouble when he initially exposed me to it & tried to get me to smoke it with him in our teens but I wasn’t interested. That boy has done so much but she still refuses to see it, I never wanna be that in denial about my child. They’re human, they can do wrong it’s just your job as a parent to try to make sure that you keep them straight as much as you can.
Lesson that is to be learnt:Never ask for a divorce...pack your bags, leave then get someone else to serve the divorce papers...alot of people are murdered after they have confronted their partner saying they want a divorce. And never let someone you date have total control of your finances...you never really know them or what they are capable of...those poor victims
I can't look a Robert Stack with a straight face after that movie "Airplane"....him punching his way through the airport corridors... 🤣...and the glasses scene😎
The absolute spine of STEEL to recover from your stabbing enough to grab it and turn on your attacker who tried fleeing with your son....what major courage she had!
I remember being sixteen, I wasn't happy with myself, but I chose not to change and better myself. I struggled with my learning and memory, but I still remember some good days. Walking down my road in the summer sun, and just feeling so good in the sun. It's a good age to start to grow, I pray that all young adults will take a step for a strong love for God. He and He alone is your way to a good and peaceful life.
@@jamedlock83 Um its pretty clear he meant the judge committed A crime, NOT the initial crime. The judge set michael free, which was negligence. Kinda like the judge that gave the rapist and murderer an early release...and the prisoner went on to rape and murder more people. Pretty negligent.
LOl, I just came back over here to tell you that the first episode that I watched was about Amy, the, “ I went to Harvard! “ psycho/narcissist. It was shocking. I’m on my second one now. The psychopath who dated gangsters. I’m totally enjoying this. The thrill comes from the shock of it all. Thanks for turning me on to this!
A viewer's tip led to Starr's arrest in a Richmond home, where he was found hiding in a kitchen cabinet. In October 1993, he was convicted of attempted robbery and two firearms charges and was sentenced to forty-five years in prison, but he has since been released. Alfred Robinson was identified as his accomplice but was not given any prison time in exchange for his testimony in Starr's trial. Thanks to therapy, Mark was able to return to work two years after the shooting. He later moved to Pennsylvania. Sadly, he passed away in 2009; he was forty-eight.
They have classes they are mandated to take to join society again. They also live in a “half-way” house for the first year they are released. Like a group home for adults, with counselors to guide them on how to have a routine, they have curfews, etc.. My ex bf was in prison for ten years, he went through it all
@The Notorious Samkaveli You're one dumb shit. Minorities are let off far more than anyone else these days. Statistics and facts are on my side. Who's backing you?
sure mattered in my day. I was born in the 50's we knew all our neighbours and knew who were good and loyal friends in our small town. I NEVER had to worry about someone doing me harm
To the sister. You didnt say anything about him asking if anyone knew of the impending divorce because things were normal and you shouldn't have had to give it another thought. We're all great in hindsight but we're just human. You did nothing wrong. X
So the guy kills her, dumps her body off about steals her money gets away with it. Ladies before you meet a man online or a stranger somewhere do some background track meet in public and don’t sell your stuff and give him the money... if it sounds too good to be true it probably is
@@aurecat women love bad boys. Nice guys have far fewer sexual partners because women don't respect them. They seem desperate and needy. The less he wants her, the more she wants him. Nice guys constantly communicate they don't have many options. Men who walk away or don't give a crap about a women show her strength. The research shows that this is attractive to women. Women fall in love with the men who flake or show up late.
I have to smack my forehead everytime someone says people didn't act this way 30+ years ago. They obviously wasn't around or didn't watch America's most wanted and unsolved mysteries on Saturday nights
A lot of the updates state "to avoid the death penalty" they plead guilty, which proves how evil and cowardly these people are, they have no problem taking a life, but when it comes to their own they cry like babies.
A distant cousin on my moms side went to meet someone (from online) on her lunch hour...she never returned..her body was found somewhere in farm country Iowa..her body was so mutilated she had to have a closed casket funeral!! The tragedy is 4 her family!
Results: Captured. In May 2004, after four years on the run, Gordon was arrested in a remote area near Florence, Oregon under the name of David Carson.

Oh this dude john paul did it. Two other people around him are missing in addition to colleen and hes been in foriegn countries for years. Whereas dexter when you need him?
Remember these would come on at night creepy sometimes couldn’t sleep I remember an episode with a skeleton I was afraid to be in the dark a few days after lol.
My heart just breaks for the mom of Natashia, don't blame yourself my dear, Natashia wouldn't want you to do that, she would want you to think of the joy you both had throughout your lives.
John Paul would be 81 years old this year if he's still hiding out in Europe/Asia. They should just plaster his face all over there. What's more, is that his ex-wife Chalice has also been missing after she went to see him in Key West... yeah. so highly probable that he's involved in both of these women's disappearances.
Such sad stories. It isn't a mystery anymore how feelings tend to blind us and how important it is - no matter how old you are - to listen to others, be upright, not be alone and think well before we get involved in a sexual relationship. Blessings.
The death of Natasha Jennings is so mysterious. I have no idea what could’ve happened. I hope it’ll be solved soon so her family will have peace and closure.
They filmed the Michael Alfonso segment at Cadillac Jack's diner in Sun Valley! That's awesome! Well known filming location in California! I can't even begin to count how many films and TV shows were filmed there! They also filmed the segment on Carlos Berdeja there
My heart breaks for that girl who was gunned down by her abusive boyfriend. My kids dad got on meth years ago and went crazy. I barely escaped with my life. Thankfully when he realized I left and took our 1 year old twins when I was 5 months pregnant with our 3rd child when he got home from work and came to my moms house looking for me with his gun my brother also had a gun... and it scared him off. Thankfully all these years later he is clean and not crazy anymore. We aren’t together but he sees my teenage kids and is building a relationship with them. It’s still hard to see him bc after he got on drugs he started beating me. :( I hate seeing it end badly like it did for this girl but it makes me realize how lucky I am that I am breathing and was able to raise my kids. My youngest will graduate in 2022. My twins are in college and I’m very happy with a wonderful man. I hate that this woman was taken from her babies. I’m so glad I was here for mine. 😭
People on drugs always drag family members in their mess.My daughter father has been a addict for decades and I can not tell u whether I care if he lives or die.Truthfully speaking without malice..They r all alike fighting the battle and involving innocent people with their mess and issues.
Thanks For Another Great Episode Of Unsolved Mysteries With Robert Stack It's Back The First Story Tho I Believe 100% That John Paul Was Involved In The Disappearance And Death Of Colleen Wood In December Of 2000 His Ass Needs To Be Caught And Apprehended And Face Murder Charges Her Children Family Friends Are Just Devastated Without Colleen And They Deserve Justice For Her Just Absolutely Sad
@23:57 it says he served his time and was released 😮 old as he looked... He must have only did a nickel in jail. Seems like if it was 20 or better he would see his final date 📅 in prison. Wow what state was that 😱
[22:15] How on earth can they find that much blood covering different parts of the vehicle's interior and not be able to determine who it belongs to? Clearly, that statement is disingenuous at best. We've had the technology to run incredibly accurate DNA tests for several years now (which includes the time-frame of this specific case) and with that amount of blood, there's no reason as to why they wouldn't have been able to perform one. Either someone's trying to save money, or someone's trying to cover something up. There's simply no other reason they wouldn't be able to identify a person with that much of their blood. That being said, it looks like they eventually caught him. However, another aspect I don't understand is how he could be walking free already. The man looked to be far past 40 in his mugshot, yet somehow he was charged with murder, "served his time," and has since been released? How much time did they actually give this guy for murdering his innocent wife in cold blood, and then trying to run away and stage his death after his parents bailed him out? 10 years? Another prime example of why our justice system is considered to be such a f*cking joke.
You live in the United States. Different states have different technicalities and different laws. Learn how the law works in your country before blaming it. The law is just fine. It's people that are not always. You're also talking about a Blue State of Oregon too. If you are a Democrat you contribute to the broken law. Democrats don't care about people. Just votes. Compare crime, poverty and cost of living statistics with known Democrat states and look at their particular crime statistics labled by crime like places like Illinois, Michigan, New York, California, Colorado, Oregon and Washington compared that with known Republican states like Montana, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona and Tennessee. A pattern will arise. I think both parties are crap but, the results speak for themselves.
uh, cause Gordon would need to be in the database for the unidentified blood to match him. A clever detective would have gone to nearby blood banks to ask if a man matching this description had been seen buying/obtaining blood. Just be happy these days the tracking from random gas station or other cameras would help tell the story and/or solve things faster. Yeah, agreed with your second point. Strange to walk from prison for 'good behavior' or w/e after murder -- didn't think that applied for murder.
Because, even though he likely killed her, the prosecutor couldn't make the case that she was alive when set in fire. This means his conviction at most could be manslaughter instead of intentional murder. Justice can't always be served.
If Michael Alfonso had been given a longer sentence by the judge, he would have been in prison and not have been free to kill. The judge didn't think he posed a risk to society. He was wrong. He did. Judge's meed to be sacked, sued and given long prison sentences for their mistakes
That's why it's basically Taxation Without Representation, Crimes Against Humanity, and simply putting citizens at harm. Class action lawsuits are more than appropriate. It's all about human and citizen rights of course, but the taxpayers.
31:56 - Great to see the legendary Cyril Wecht making his return on UM. Very sad case, I don't know what happened to Natasha but I kinda lead towards the drug overdose theory. But very tough to say.
Jonathan Turbide + Aye Bro I’m tryna Find a certain Episode on here, i can’t find it nowhere tho’ I been looking ’ I wanna see would u might know....It’s the Episode where it was a Coin Scammer’ he would walk up to Random people on the streets with a Fake Rare Coin and he would lie and say it’s worth a lot of money and he would have a phone number with a fake person also part of the scam and he would ask the person he walked up to for 100$ or 200$ and he would give them the fake rare Coin with the Fake phone number...Lol do you remember that UM’s Segment or the Season??
She didn't know he was an ex con, did she? I think when some of us fall in love we tend to see the good things and ignore the bad. You're right about selling her stuff, but she also should have had an itinerary and given it to her family and friends so they knew where she was supposed to be. If plans changed, she could let them know. I'm more suspicious... probably from watching these shows.
Harvard MBA, Race car pro, Wall Street wizard and Mutual Fund co owner huh? Who’d buy that story? Was he a diplomat too? Did he have a Purple Heart? Sounds just about as likely as the rest of that BS.
"The unfortunate part is we don't have the answers." - Good cop right there. Accepting there are unknowns and stating it factually and honestly without trying to look for evidence against one or more suspects. Like what you normally find watching Unsolved Mysteries.
Gordon waivers question did she tell others tends to lead to that blow to the Head being very much premeditated it was probably not rash decision from an argument. . . Also he should not have been given permission to leave town...

Unsolved Mysteries : BEST SHOW n THEME SOME EVER !! As an early 80's kid I loved this show since it was intriguing, awesome, mysterious, n oh yea Scary AF 😂 And Robert Stack didn't help also.. 😂😂👍👍
Yes
Natascha's mom says "no way, she wouldn't have used." Parents always think they know everything about their children. Well the parents are usually the last to know their children's secrets. Sad but true
🎯
you are right! it happens on this show ALL THE TIME. the mothers are always delusional. "I KNOW my daughter, she would NEVER leave her children to run off with a prison inmate."
UPDATE!! the daughter was caught living with the prisoner she helped escape for ten years.
My thoughts exactly
why is a murderer allowed a get out of jail card ?????
yea it’s bullshit he got out in 2016 on parole nearly 10 years after being caught....
He wasn't guilty of 1st degree murder. That's the only crime that carries a life sentence in MN. He committed 2nd degree murder and served his time. That's how you get out of prison.
She said she know her daughter(Natasha) and she would never do that. NO you could NEVER know your her. Because 1 you don't babysit her 24/7. Number 2 she was a teen she will NOT tell you everything. # 3 you never say you know someone because you can NEVER know anybody regardless how long you know them.
Every time that someone is found after committing a brutal crime, then escaped and was found, always ends wth... “served their time and has since been released”.
true...not so much today with the long sentences given by the courts
Robert James Chinnery unless they’re black
@@MDMamba Exactly
That's because these episodes are 30 years old.
BS. He served his time and is now free ?! How can you serve time for murdering someone ?! That should be a life sentences .
FlixCreEightR Yes, that’s very unfair!
Captured. After four years on the run, Gordon Weaver was arrested in a remote area near Florence, Oregon under the name of David Carson. A woman saw a mugshot of Weaver on the AMW website and called the police. In 2005, Weaver admitted to killing Jean, but claimed that it was an accident and that she was already dead when he set the fire. The medical examiner, however, testified that she died of smoke inhalation. Weaver was found guilty of second-degree murder and was sentenced to twenty-five years in prison.
In October 2006, Weaver's parents were arrested and charged in helping him to elude the authorities. In 2007, Weaver was ordered a new trial and in February of 2010 was once again convicted of her murder. This time, however, he was sentenced to just 18 3/4 years in prison. He was released on parole in November of 2016.

Murder
Jumped bail
Stole a car
Faked his death
On the the lam
And back on the streets
This is what's wrong with the justice system.
Because he only "attempted" murder. He didn't actually kill anyone. Huge difference.
No. I don't even know who that is.
thank you exactly what I said the system failed that women twice.
It's so scary to think of how many murderers and rapists there are out there that have "served their time." This is one of the biggest reasons people murder and rape. They get shown by the so called "justice system" that they will just get a slap on the hand. Even criminals that have been deemed to be highly likely to offend again get let go. It's sad when murderers and rapists get less time than someone who's in for possession.
Welcome to USA justice system
Makes no sense to me.
He was the last person to be with her on a boat trip, yet he's not a suspect....ok.
Ikr crazy
I think he did it.
Huh?! He IS a suspect but there is no solid evidence against him! You can't charge someone if you don't have the evidence.
I think so to, it's been 20 years and the case still hasn't been solved
Typical
In my sixties and by myself, watching these true crime videos somehow makes me feel safer! Stay safe❤️
45. Same.
A LOT PEOPLE GET MARRIED BUT THEY ARE NOT HAPPY THEY HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT THEIR RELATIONSHIP SHOULD BE LIKE BUT THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHER SEES IT ANOTHER WAY AND IT BECOMES A POWER STRUGGLE AND THEY ARE MISERABLE
The last report that detectives have about John Paul's whereabouts was from 2009, when he and the boat were in Thailand. He intended to open a dive shop off the coast of Thailand. In 2011, John Paul reportedly sold the Diamond Girl. He is still considered a person of interest in the case, but has never returned to the United States. Sadly, Colleen has never been located, although authorities are certain the she is deceased.
I miss unsolved mysteries I grew up watching this show Robert stacks was awesome at this
Came over here from Dannel Hallan's coverage of the Natasha story. After watching Dannel's coverage of the story it sounds so much like a police cover-up, as she goes into much greater detail of the story.
Me too
with all due respect.....we NEVER know our kids
we always think they are better than they are.........
Especially when parents always say, “he got caught up in the wrong crowd”. Sometimes your kid is the leader of the wrong crowd.
As Steve Harvey would say “ Beat Yo Kids...”
@@whoashellfish oh, there's some good advise. 😏
My ex’s mother thinks I got him to start smoking weed & get in trouble when he initially exposed me to it & tried to get me to smoke it with him in our teens but I wasn’t interested. That boy has done so much but she still refuses to see it, I never wanna be that in denial about my child. They’re human, they can do wrong it’s just your job as a parent to try to make sure that you keep them straight as much as you can.
Lesson that is to be learnt:Never ask for a divorce...pack your bags, leave then get someone else to serve the divorce papers...alot of people are murdered after they have confronted their partner saying they want a divorce.
And never let someone you date have total control of your finances...you never really know them or what they are capable of...those poor victims
I can't look a Robert Stack with a straight face after that movie "Airplane"....him punching his way through the airport corridors... 🤣...and the glasses scene😎
I grew up on unsolved mysteries
me to!
I did too!!!! I'm in my 30s I still love the show!!!
Same. That song stuck in my mind 4 decades 👀
Yeah in my late 30's now still watch it. Love it
Same here love stack and farina
The absolute spine of STEEL to recover from your stabbing enough to grab it and turn on your attacker who tried fleeing with your son....what major courage she had!
Had completely forgot about this show! Haven't seen it in decades.
Me too. I came here to watch after being reminded by a video on Dr. Todd Grande’s channel!
I remember being sixteen, I wasn't happy with myself, but I chose not to change and better myself. I struggled with my learning and memory, but I still remember some good days. Walking down my road in the summer sun, and just feeling so good in the sun. It's a good age to start to grow, I pray that all young adults will take a step for a strong love for God. He and He alone is your way to a good and peaceful life.
What an idiot judge setting Michael free! He's just as guilty! I would sue him for negligence.
@Madeline Whitley Exactly! Apparently, he doesn't know how the law works.
@@jamedlock83 Um its pretty clear he meant the judge committed A crime, NOT the initial crime. The judge set michael free, which was negligence. Kinda like the judge that gave the rapist and murderer an early release...and the prisoner went on to rape and murder more people. Pretty negligent.
These reenactment actors are great.
What they don't bring up about John Paul is his first wife disappeared and she was last known to have gone with him to Key West.
Oh I miss Robert Stack and unsolved mysteries.
I grew up off this too!!! I love all of these episodes
Women need to start doing background checks on men that they bring into their lives. In all states.
Dalen Lewin, oh yes, of course. Thanks. I’ll check it out.
LOl, I just came back over here to tell you that the first episode that I watched was about Amy, the, “ I went to Harvard! “ psycho/narcissist. It was shocking. I’m on my second one now. The psychopath who dated gangsters. I’m totally enjoying this. The thrill comes from the shock of it all. Thanks for turning me on to this!
Yeah I can’t handle forensic files.

A viewer's tip led to Starr's arrest in a Richmond home, where he was found hiding in a kitchen cabinet. In October 1993, he was convicted of attempted robbery and two firearms charges and was sentenced to forty-five years in prison, but he has since been released. Alfred Robinson was identified as his accomplice but was not given any prison time in exchange for his testimony in Starr's trial.
Thanks to therapy, Mark was able to return to work two years after the shooting. He later moved to Pennsylvania. Sadly, he passed away in 2009; he was forty-eight.
im glad i grew up at the time i did, used to love watching this show
Thank you for the uploads I love unsolved mysteries
That's Messed up to set someone on fire especially while they are still alive.
Right
Horrible death for whoever it is that's set on fire.
That firebird they used for the reenactment sounded so good when they started it up
Always baffles me how you can murder someone and still be released from prison. How do you transition back into society, get a job and all?
They have classes they are mandated to take to join society again. They also live in a “half-way” house for the first year they are released. Like a group home for adults, with counselors to guide them on how to have a routine, they have curfews, etc.. My ex bf was in prison for ten years, he went through it all
That's why im saying..........................it's so unfair
Scarlett Laura Your ex was in prison for 10 years? Wow… for what? You’re so brave to date him
For reals
@The Notorious Samkaveli You're one dumb shit. Minorities are let off far more than anyone else these days. Statistics and facts are on my side. Who's backing you?
Just because u raise or grow up with someone dnt mean u know them
sure mattered in my day. I was born in the 50's we knew all our neighbours and knew who were good and loyal friends in our small town. I NEVER had to worry about someone doing me harm
Very true.
Right...how many people are now coming out about what neighbors, relatives, etc. were doing to them back in the 60s, 70s, 80s. This is not new.
How TF did this guy get caught for running and convicted of murder but, he’s served his time and now he’s free
Right
"his plan to sail around the world violated his parole" LOL!
Why didn't he get violeted then!?
You don't get violated for plans, it's actions that get you violated
@@jordanarateb6344 Uh oh. I hope I don't get violated.
This ain't funny...😡
they didn't used to imprison people very long and they just kept doing crimes over and over again
My grandpa was a prison officer for 40 years and told me the goal of being imprisoned is to be rehabilitated.
John totally did kill colleen and dump her in the ocean.
Agreed
I agree ☝️
Why?
I totally agree....
Charlice Paul is also missing she was married to John too according to what I read she's missing under mysterious circumstances as well.
I never missed a night of USM.... Thank goodness for RUclips🎯
Robert Stack must have been 80 here. A complete badass!
To the sister. You didnt say anything about him asking if anyone knew of the impending divorce because things were normal and you shouldn't have had to give it another thought. We're all great in hindsight but we're just human. You did nothing wrong. X
Great series . Always haunting . Rip stack . These eps were all quite good sad 😔 though
So the guy kills her, dumps her body off about steals her money gets away with it. Ladies before you meet a man online or a stranger somewhere do some background track meet in public and don’t sell your stuff and give him the money... if it sounds too good to be true it probably is
Exactly...in other words, don't be stupid.
Sad to see that so many women fall in that trap, the illusion of romantic love.
@@aurecat women love bad boys. Nice guys have far fewer sexual partners because women don't respect them. They seem desperate and needy. The less he wants her, the more she wants him. Nice guys constantly communicate they don't have many options. Men who walk away or don't give a crap about a women show her strength. The research shows that this is attractive to women. Women fall in love with the men who flake or show up late.
@@jasonpatrickries Like my mom said growing females love bad boys.
@@jasonpatrickries But they not ready for that conversation lol
It was a wild adventure torn from the pages of a steamy BS novel. Only Robert Stack can get away with that and it sounds real instead of BS.
I have to smack my forehead everytime someone says people didn't act this way 30+ years ago. They obviously wasn't around or didn't watch America's most wanted and unsolved mysteries on Saturday nights
Sooo he set it up to look like he'd met with foul play & then called to check if they fell for it????
Why are there cruel people in this world? How many ways can someone think to hurt others?
Numerous to high to count.
A lot of the updates state "to avoid the death penalty" they plead guilty, which proves how evil and cowardly these people are, they have no problem taking a life, but when it comes to their own they cry like babies.
Cause they know where they are going when they die.

Oh this dude john paul did it. Two other people around him are missing in addition to colleen and hes been in foriegn countries for years. Whereas dexter when you need him?
Remember these would come on at night creepy sometimes couldn’t sleep I remember an episode with a skeleton I was afraid to be in the dark a few days after lol.
My heart just breaks for the mom of Natashia, don't blame yourself my dear, Natashia wouldn't want you to do that, she would want you to think of the joy you both had throughout your lives.
Is it just me or does some people like seeing crime stories from 1990 and before? Particularly between 1950-1990. It just adds to the the nostalgia.
The post war years have a strong hold over the public. That 40 year time you stated, especially.
@iostboyyawn.
John Paul would be 81 years old this year if he's still hiding out in Europe/Asia. They should just plaster his face all over there. What's more, is that his ex-wife Chalice has also been missing after she went to see him in Key West... yeah. so highly probable that he's involved in both of these women's disappearances.
Such sad stories. It isn't a mystery anymore how feelings tend to blind us and how important it is - no matter how old you are - to listen to others, be upright, not be alone and think well before we get involved in a sexual relationship. Blessings.
13:43 i took one look at Gordon and was concerned, too. 😆
Loool 🤣
😂😂😂😂
The death of Natasha Jennings is so mysterious. I have no idea what could’ve happened. I hope it’ll be solved soon so her family will have peace and closure.
I hate to say this, but I believe it was a Drug overdose..☹️
@@pinkgypsytees That's a possibility. 😔🤔
I rewatch it again
The third story of the young girl malfunctioned.... I thought the father was dishonest and the Mom was in denial.... may she rest in piece
They filmed the Michael Alfonso segment at Cadillac Jack's diner in Sun Valley! That's awesome!
Well known filming location in California!
I can't even begin to count how many films and TV shows were filmed there!
They also filmed the segment on Carlos Berdeja there
23:10 Wow, you kill someone and you escape prosecution and get caught, get sent to jail an now your Scott free! No justice.
My heart breaks for that girl who was gunned down by her abusive boyfriend. My kids dad got on meth years ago and went crazy. I barely escaped with my life. Thankfully when he realized I left and took our 1 year old twins when I was 5 months pregnant with our 3rd child when he got home from work and came to my moms house looking for me with his gun my brother also had a gun... and it scared him off. Thankfully all these years later he is clean and not crazy anymore. We aren’t together but he sees my teenage kids and is building a relationship with them. It’s still hard to see him bc after he got on drugs he started beating me. :( I hate seeing it end badly like it did for this girl but it makes me realize how lucky I am that I am breathing and was able to raise my kids. My youngest will graduate in 2022. My twins are in college and I’m very happy with a wonderful man. I hate that this woman was taken from her babies. I’m so glad I was here for mine. 😭
People on drugs always drag family members in their mess.My daughter father has been a addict for decades and I can not tell u whether I care if he lives or die.Truthfully speaking without malice..They r all alike fighting the battle and involving innocent people with their mess and issues.
Thanks For Another Great Episode Of Unsolved Mysteries With Robert Stack It's Back The First Story Tho I Believe 100% That John Paul Was Involved In The Disappearance And Death Of Colleen Wood In December Of 2000 His Ass Needs To Be Caught And Apprehended And Face Murder Charges Her Children Family Friends Are Just Devastated Without Colleen And They Deserve Justice For Her Just Absolutely Sad
He's in his 80s now, so he basically got away with it.
@23:57 it says he served his time and was released 😮 old as he looked... He must have only did a nickel in jail. Seems like if it was 20 or better he would see his final date 📅 in prison. Wow what state was that 😱
[22:15] How on earth can they find that much blood covering different parts of the vehicle's interior and not be able to determine who it belongs to? Clearly, that statement is disingenuous at best. We've had the technology to run incredibly accurate DNA tests for several years now (which includes the time-frame of this specific case) and with that amount of blood, there's no reason as to why they wouldn't have been able to perform one. Either someone's trying to save money, or someone's trying to cover something up. There's simply no other reason they wouldn't be able to identify a person with that much of their blood.
That being said, it looks like they eventually caught him. However, another aspect I don't understand is how he could be walking free already. The man looked to be far past 40 in his mugshot, yet somehow he was charged with murder, "served his time," and has since been released? How much time did they actually give this guy for murdering his innocent wife in cold blood, and then trying to run away and stage his death after his parents bailed him out? 10 years? Another prime example of why our justice system is considered to be such a f*cking joke.
Agree
PsyintZ
Sounds like forensics failed
You live in the United States. Different states have different technicalities and different laws. Learn how the law works in your country before blaming it. The law is just fine. It's people that are not always. You're also talking about a Blue State of Oregon too. If you are a Democrat you contribute to the broken law. Democrats don't care about people. Just votes. Compare crime, poverty and cost of living statistics with known Democrat states and look at their particular crime statistics labled by crime like places like Illinois, Michigan, New York, California, Colorado, Oregon and Washington compared that with known Republican states like Montana, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona and Tennessee. A pattern will arise. I think both parties are crap but, the results speak for themselves.
uh, cause Gordon would need to be in the database for the unidentified blood to match him. A clever detective would have gone to nearby blood banks to ask if a man matching this description had been seen buying/obtaining blood. Just be happy these days the tracking from random gas station or other cameras would help tell the story and/or solve things faster.
Yeah, agreed with your second point. Strange to walk from prison for 'good behavior' or w/e after murder -- didn't think that applied for murder.
Because, even though he likely killed her, the prosecutor couldn't make the case that she was alive when set in fire. This means his conviction at most could be manslaughter instead of intentional murder. Justice can't always be served.
If Michael Alfonso had been given a longer sentence by the judge, he would have been in prison and not have been free to kill. The judge didn't think he posed a risk to society. He was wrong. He did. Judge's meed to be sacked, sued and given long prison sentences for their mistakes
That's why it's basically Taxation Without Representation, Crimes Against Humanity, and simply putting citizens at harm. Class action lawsuits are more than appropriate. It's all about human and citizen rights of course, but the taxpayers.
31:56 - Great to see the legendary Cyril Wecht making his return on UM. Very sad case, I don't know what happened to Natasha but I kinda lead towards the drug overdose theory. But very tough to say.

Colleen sells her house and her car to cruise the world with an ex con.. NOT SMART.
desperate lonely woman.
She didn't know he was an ex con, did she? I think when some of us fall in love we tend to see the good things and ignore the bad. You're right about selling her stuff, but she also should have had an itinerary and given it to her family and friends so they knew where she was supposed to be. If plans changed, she could let them know. I'm more suspicious... probably from watching these shows.
She Didn't know he was a excon
she did not know he is ex-con....
she did not know_sicko
Alfonso was also featured in the show, "Almost Got Away with It: Got Dumped"
I knew this sounded familiar. He didn’t even care that he shot her.😥😥
