He displays the utmost respect and professionalism through the entire series and in this episode a true rarity happens--he breaks as host and talks, albeit very briefly--about his time as Elliot Ness on the Untouchables.

if i recall Ness wife apparently told him during the show's run that out of all the people who have portrayed her husband his was the closest to how he truly was. or something along the lines of that kinda like how with Fu Manchu his real i think daughter told Christopher Lee in the i think 60's or 70's when she was by than an old woman the same thing.
The Ness segment is another proof that UM is the greatest show ever created. The producers went the extra mile to tell this story (particularly with the old cars and costumes), and a case like Cleveland's Torso killer deserve this type of exposure. That case is truly America's Jack the Ripper, and it's a shame that it's always in the shadow of more "popular" or well-known serial killers like the Zodiac because it's a very very important case in US history. Glad UM did a terrific segment about it. 😊

Agreed. The show encouraged a national effort to prove her case. I'm glad this show demonstrated that. And I hope she sued the pants off that prosecuting attorney.
I don't blame them for thinking they killed him. They are among the most fake looking people i've seen when they are acting emotional. @20:56 till 22:33 it shows the father displaying what looks and sounds like a very bad acting performance and then the mother starts to act like shes crying but the shot cuts away before we can see her cry for more then a few seconds, every time she starts to cry they cut away from her. The instance when she was left alone with the baby again and she fed him, the police tell us it was 8 mins and foster parents prepared the baby bottles and the substance was found in one of the bottles and it was the one she gave to the baby! If the MMA theory is true then they should have explained how the substance got into the bottle, i assume the baby saliva contaminated it but they don't explain that here. The father tells us he didn't notice anything wrong with the bottle but how would he notice anyway? They didn't say that the anti freeze changes the colour or smell so much as to make it look different. If he was guilty he would say that he didn't see any poison. The red dickie bow man tells us that a poisoned bottle would start working sooner than 3 days but the prosecution tells us that after being fed the baby was given to one couple of foster parents then after 3 days another couple had him and noticed symptoms. They explained that the first couple might not have noticed the symptoms while they had the baby after he was fed the bottle. Another thing to consider is how did the MMA not kill the baby sooner? it takes 9 months for pregnancy then a few weeks after birth the baby died but somehow these MMA symptoms/chemicals didn't affect the mother? or the baby till that time. When parents are told their baby could have ingested anti freeze or nail polish remover they would ask each other if they could have accidentally given it to their baby and they would immediately think of any baby sitter or maybe their own parents that could have done it intentionally or accidentally while looking after the baby. UM didn't mention any of this. All police groups are corrupt and working with other crime gangs/gangsters but this wasn't a case where they cover up evidence as they know one of them is guilty. This episode didn't convince me that they are innocent. I don't think they are guilty but i need more information first before i could make a judgement.
@@user-yp3oj5se1i That's a lot of text to not really say much of any real substance. The prosecutor just wanted his win and didn't care about the evidence. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that bottle had been tampered with after the fact to get a conviction.
I'm so glad I found Unsolved Mysteries on youtube. I have been binging for days and days and it brings back memories because UM is a show my family and I always looked forward to watching together. The updates are awesome but I wish they would make the print bigger LOL. I have to jump up from my couch to see what they say. :)
Me too but I have another reason for watching. Since I've been with my now husband, he told me his uncle's murder was on the show and 36 years later, it's still unsolved 😢
@@SulliMike23 omfg that poor woman. This corrupt ass system stole her time with her loved ones. Honestly, I wish things like what was done to her could be criminally prosecuted. That as whole should be locked up as long as she was.
@@inimitableminimalist True, that a huge injustice took place when the doctors were unfamiliar with the rare MMA condition and the Stallings suffered. However, DO NOT blame all the Missouri population in general for the doctors' ignorance especially. This case could have taken place in any other state since most doctors, in general, have hardly seen this rare genetic condition and even in my state, New York, Patty could have been prosecuted. Mid-Western state residents are not backwards people nor are they ignorant.
In fact NBC did a Robert Stack special one night, where they aired an episode of UM (featuring the Mad Butcher segment) followed by a TV movie where Stack played Ness one last time (The return of Elliot Ness). 😊
Im in my 30s now, having grown up watching Unsolved Mysteries from a tender age, like 10? It really taught me some important life lessons, like you have to question authorities, even 'experts'. Not to distrust them, but like in Patty's case people can be very wrong. Oh, and to never trust cops.
Micheal never should have told anyone what he was up to, you don't spread around that you're going after gov officials. Im surprised it wasn't ruled a "suicide".
Stop with the cop bashing already! There are corrupt cops working alongside good and honest ones. No profession is 100% pure as there are corrupt individuals in any given profession.
One of my favorite episodes. You don't hear about the clevland torso killer often, and its an interesting look at early police work dealing with a new type of killer.
This is actually the first time I’m hearing about this killer. And I watch maybe a little too much true crime. It surprised me that I hadn’t heard of this one.
@@SniperWolf895 Sadly it's a very underappreciated case, one not covered much on true crime shows. UM was the first big program to cover the case, and since then I know maybe only 2 or 3 other documentary series that did a show about it. Real shame because it's truly the United States version of Jack the Ripper but multiplied by 4, since there's much more victims involved and the murders cover a larger area.
@Shirley Bailey The one I read was called "Torso. Elliot Ness And The Hunt For The Mad Butcher Of Kingsbury Run". I was homeless at the time and it scared the living shit out of me. Definitely made me more aware of people around me and motivated me to get of the streets.
Sounds like the persecutor was looking to at a feather to his cap and he knew she would be a easy case if they prevent evidence to be presented. These prosecutors rarely care about the human suffering. Just their ego and advancement in their job.
The first case about Patty Stalling is just horrible. She was convicted of poisoning her babies twice but there was no evidence. The police and court didn’t want to believe it was MMA. I’m glad the mother sued the court system and the medical staff who misdiagnosed the condition. I’m glad she is free now and has custody of her D.J.
My friend works in the prison system in Washington state and the amount of dirty politics and stuff they do and keep secret is amazing. Oregon state murdered Michael franky to keep it quiet
With both children diagnosed with this MMA, I'm convinced its hereditary and it came from a rare gene in both parents and works kind of like SCT in relation to Sickle Cell Anemia/Disease.
OMG, that horrible case where baby Ryan died and his parents suffered so much whilst under scrutiny, false accusations and even jail! The poor family, surely baby Ryan would have been happier if he could have seen and been with his parents in his final moments. WTF is wrong with the legal system? They had the hide to say that unless their 2nd baby also dies, they still prefer to place blame just for fame!?! How absolutely ridiculous that FACTS could simply be twisted and time modified to conveniently pin a crime onto an innocent person! Back in those days, it's difficult to distinguish between those who practice law and the outlaws.
Thanks for another great episode of unsolved mysteries The last story truly heartbreaking and sad😭 I really pray that Oded Gordon who went missing on may 12, 1989 is still alive out there somewhere maybe as a "john doe" in a hospital or is staying with someone/ppl and doesn't know his identity or he's a missing person his family is very concerned for his safety and just want to know that he's well cared for safe and alright after his disappearance he possibly was sighted in boston Massachusetts in January of 1990 he is from the new york state may have tried to traveled there after he disappeared if he's alive today he would now be 51 years old a very sad situation indeed
...he was probably killed or died somewhere soon after he escaped. Autistic people like that just wouldn't last too long trying to hide. He would have been found soon after.
Seriously the police in this show... "when 12 people hear the evidence...". Well they didn't hear all the evidence though did they?! I think an apology is not enough. Such incompetence should be punished, I mean that's almost maliciously incompetent.
"...all the evidence" except the evidence that you made sure couldn't be used...that prosecutor didnt care about justice, just the win. That apology was BS. The DA shouldve fired his ass or suffer some humiliation in the Bar among his peers.
@@trojandarkhorse2022 Agreed. And then he has the gall to say "I believe in the system" after tge system failed so dysmally and almost ruined a womans life.
This is stamdard prosecutor hypocricy....if fingeprints dna ect match the defendent its the smoking gun....if none of it matches the defendent its 'not relevent'. Likewise they rail against defense lawyers blocking evidence when they do the exact same thing. Sadly seemingly no one cares about truth, just winning
The guy who was convicted of killing Michael Francke was released in 2019, a judge ruled that he didn't get a fair hearing when his defense team wasn't allowed to bring up in court that SOMEONE ELSE CONFESSED to killing Francke and he even knew details of the case that weren't released to the public. FilmRise should update this in this episode. Francke was definitely not killed by a meth dealer, he was silenced for what he was uncovering.
A lot of people don't know that Patty Stallings had a daughter before she had her sons. Her daughter got removed from her care and is in the care of her sister. The baby was freezing and starving when it was taken. She blamed that on being homeless not being able to feed or worm herself as well. This woman had a bad hand dealt to her.
Handling The Howard's I believe you just gave us the smoking gun because Patty Stallings has a history of neglecting children that’s why authorities were suspicious and that’s why she got arrested and was sent to jail.
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 as f**k 😂 And Robert Stack didn't help also.. 😂😂👍👍
This is the best show to listen to while at work through headphones lol. I’ve been doing it for well over a decade. Got tired of listening to music sometimes and I’d put this on and time would go by so fast.
"Oh, hey, sorry we completely destroyed your life during a time when you were grieving the loss of your only son. Have a nice day." I'd break his fucking jaw right then and there. No words, no yelling, just a comatose lawyer sprawled out on the carpet for the media to see. There must be a special kind of torment prepared for those who can do this to common, decent people with impunity.
@@MaximusWolfe oh okay but I was thinking along the lines of if the husband went through all that he didn't do it cause he didn't want to start things up again
@@rolandofgilead43 Start what up again? I’m sure any consequences for assault would feel like a feather compared to what he had already endured so senselessly.
@@MaximusWolfe that's true I was just thinking that since his wife spent that in jail though hitting that lawyer would have really felt great that lawyer may have pressed charges had he hit him even if it was warranted
I'm from St. Louis and this was a HUGE story back then, but Pattie and her husband unfortunately aren't the only couples this hospital has done this too.
@@tonylopez-russell2631 wtf?? LOL. No they kinda didnt. The Black Dahlia case is an ACTUAL murder of Elizabeth Short. In it, neither the Ohio slayings, nor Ness, are mentioned.
From just seeing that mother and fathers reaction more so the mothers it was hard to believe she killed her own son. It was just sad. First of all what baby poisoner would even take the child to the hospital, not just once but twice... second of all the supposed bottle with ‘antifreeze’ was prepared by the step mother so what, the real mother somehow snuck a secret vile of antifreeze in with her and risked being caught red hande while dumping it into a bottle before feeding??! That prosecutor is so smug ‘I’m comfortable’ and then ‘I apologize’ like saying sorry requires just that and you should look at the person you’re saying it too. Poor family. But I’m happy UM helped her cuz I don’t think I would’ve been able to stop thinking about that case.
Although that is true, MPS is often close to undetectable and done in such a manor that the abuser does not want to be caught as that would put an end to their attention seeking need. They have a whole handful of tricks up their sleeve and devote a lot of time trying to remain undetected. I don't believe that was the case with this mother as the baby was already diagnosed with previous medical conditions and to poison to such extremes would surely (and did) jeopordize the mentally ill caretakers 'satisfaction'. Also in many cases of proxy the abuser suffers from some sort of munchausen "fake illness' themself. For sure there are baby poisoners out there, but do you think this mum deserved a second chance? Or do you believe her to be guilty, by Munchausen by proxy? Geez all I can think about through all of this is Yolanda Hadid!
The unmitigated gall of that prosecutor sends shivers down my spine. "I believe in the system," he states. He then says that if the conviction was incorrect then they have already "started the ball rolling." In other words, he believes in a system that could send an innocent, grieving woman to prison for killing her child because there is some chance that this verdict could be reversed if things play out right (if they needlessly tormented a grieving mother). The fact that this woman had to suffer the accusation, humiliation and years caged like an animal for something the medical evidence disproved gives him no lingering doubt about the justice of the situation at hand or the basic integrity of his metier. What a fucking low life. I mean how do these people delude themselves into believing that they are in the service of society? Mind boggling. They systematically destroyed these peoples already shattered lives. God have mercy on them.
The verdict in the baby poisoning doesn’t make any sense. Okay, leaving a mother who is accused of poisoning her baby once already ALONE with him for ANY MOUNT of time is a REALLY REALLY BAD idea, I mean....but the fact that the “poisoning” of Ryan took three days...THREE DAYS to take effect is absolutely ridiculous, especially in a three month old. If she really poisoned her son, Ryan, he would have shown symptoms within a couple of minutes or hours, not THREE DAYS LATER. That makes absolutely no sense at all. He would have died that very DAY, right after their sixth visit.
Agreed if patty would have gave him the glycol poisoning he would have exhibited symptoms Immediately NOT three days later he died from MMA they Absolutely sent a Innocent woman to jail I really hope she sued the freaking state and the authorities
After watching the forensic files episode on this which goes into everything....pattys son was murdered by rhe hospital due to their incompetent diagnosis and fatal treatments
Recent speculation suggests the Butcher may have traveled west and was the murderer of Elizabeth Short, of the "Black Dahlia Murder Case." However, the theory has not been confirmed.
Well these speculations are far from being recent, in fact UM did an episode about this theory way back in 1992 (season 5). There's some similarities between the murder of Elizabeth and the crimes committed by the Mad Butcher, but a lot of crucial details shows that it was most likely two different killers (timeline, geography, the fact Elizabeth wasn't beheaded, the way the body was cut, etc).
I just said that Dr GOERGE HODEL I've said this for a long time but nobody cares because he was untouchable doctor he was also the JIGSAW serial killer in Borneo
@@FlixCreEightR no it was Dr HODEL it was massively covered up his son steve HODEL has already proved it he even has documents stating his father would be covicted and the case is closed as the killer died in 1992
I was around 8 years old when Unsolved Mysteries started airing. I was too young to realize how important some of these stories were. The story about the family and their baby’s death was devastating. To think that if not for this episode, that mother might have spent decades in prison.
i cried during the baby Ryan segment, a big oversight in medical community. One good thing came out of his death and that is research and further development of medications
@@chrisw6164 Because people with MMA can't properly break-down proteins, an extremely low protein diet is recommended to avoid the proteins building up in the system and turning toxic. In extreme cases, a kidney and liver transplant are also recommended.
Didn't watch yet but about to listen to this video while I do other stuff. Just wanted to say that if death was a thumbnail that looked like an old dude that looked like death, it would look like the thumbnail they chose for this video.
Don't they think the guy from Cleveland is the same guy who killed the black dahlia. Unsolved mysteries hired a expert on MMA Joe Rogan, who said it's DMT.
This statement applies to the 2 cases about the baby with MMA and the police department. Law officials almost ALWAYS get TUNNEL VISIONED on a case. Because of this GREAT injustices are the only possible result. However, what PISSES me OFF is the way Judges are allowed to withhold evidence in cases. I FIRMLY believe that this is WRONG. The 12 ppl who are asked to judge a case MUST have EVERY faction of evidence related to a case. Whether relevant or not. How else can the ENTIRETY of the TRUTH be known? If you're a witness, you're sworn to tell the truth, WHOLE truth and nothing but. Apparently the DOUBLE STANDARD (within the court itself) is ignored. Covered up. Hidden. My opinion
Feels bad for Patricia, losing her child and then accuse of the death. If doctors diagnose Ryan with MMA early, it could have invented his death. Not accusing Patricia of killing him.
I did not expect Senator Jim Hill’s voice to sound like that, in the Micheal Franky case and Oregon Prison system, he sounded like a nerdy Caucasian! Lol
I'm sad for what happened to them, but also happy because the Stallings seem to be a really strong, loyal couple. They stood by each other and stayed together and that just makes me feel better about humans in general.
If I was a Cop or The Judge involved in The Stallings Case I'd apologize to them everytime I saw them. I probably would get on my knees & kiss their shoes or boots.
in the prison killing this is what happened recently...U.S. Magistrate Judge John Acosta ruled April 18 1999 that Frank Gable, convicted in 1991 of the murder of Michael Francke, then director of the Oregon Department of Corrections, must be released within 90 days unless the state of Oregon decides to try him again. The ruling is a remarkable twist in one of the most notorious murder cases in Oregon history, one that transfixed the state beginning in the late 1980s. One sign of the strange saga Gable's case became: Francke's brothers, E. Patrick Francke, 76, and Kevin Francke, 65, issued a statement April 19 supporting the man convicted of murdering their brother. They say he didn't do it. "We are happy in the extreme that the very real probability that Frank Gable will be released and his freedom is within sight," the brothers wrote. "The state can no longer afford to manufacture a case built on lies and half-truths." How did a nearly 30-year-old conviction get overturned? Here's a timeline. 1989: Oregon Department of Corrections director Michael Francke, 42, is stabbed to death in the parking lot outside his Salem office early in the evening of Jan. 17, 1989. No murder weapon is ever found. 1990: Police arrest Frank Gable, a small-time Salem meth dealer, for Francke's murder. The political climate feeds suspicions there is more to the case than a car burglary gone bad. Gov. Neil Goldschmidt had recruited Francke from New Mexico to clean up and expand Oregon's prison system, which was badly overcrowded and allegedly corrupt. Some suspect Francke's efforts put him in the crosshairs of people who profited from the status quo. 1991: Gable is convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole. The state's witnesses are a motley collection of drug dealers and ex-cons who tell the court Gable admitted killing Francke. 2005: Oregonian and Portland Tribune columnist Phil Stanford writes more than 100 columns over 13 years, arguing Gable's innocence. But a 2005 Sunday Oregonian investigation concludes the evidence "rules out all but a lone figure: the man already behind bars." 2007: WW publishes a cover story about Greg Johnson, who claims he knows Gable is innocent because he drove Francke's real killer, another Salem meth dealer, named Tim Natividad (now deceased), to the crime scene. He also claims he watched prison officials pay Natividad for the murder. Nell Brown, a federal public defender in Portland, takes up Gable's case. For the next seven years, Brown's investigators methodically track down the witnesses who testified against Gable, more than a half-dozen of them. They all recant their testimony. 2014: Brown files a 189-page brief arguing Gable was wrongly convicted. 2019: U.S. Magistrate Judge John Acosta orders the state to retry Gable or release him within 90 days. "Although the evidence presented at trial in 1991 resulted in a guilty verdict," the judge writes, "the court concludes that it is more likely than not that no reasonable juror would find Gable guilty in light of the totality of all of the evidence uncovered since that time, particularly the newly presented evidence of witness recantations."
Ness' tactics were cartoonish and ridiculous. It's no wonder he didn't get elected. Pattys story is incredibly sad. So glad they figured that out. Not even allowing her to attend the funeral. I hope they sued the hospital and the state
Love the “Torso Killer” case. It’s another example of serial killers throughout history. Whenever I hear “Believed to be the FIRST SERIAL KILLER IN HISTORY” I want to smash the TV. Psycho serial killers have been around forever.
The bottle was prepared by the foster mother....which means you have to belive patty just slipped some anti freeze in the bottle...(not even the bottle but the top the baby drinks from) and just conspicuously they symptoms don't materialize for 3 days?

This episode didn't convince me that they are innocent. I don't think they are guilty but i need more information first before i could make a judgement.
@@user-yp3oj5se1i That's a lot of text to not really say much of any real substance. The prosecutor just wanted his win and didn't care about the evidence. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that bottle had been tampered with after the fact to get a conviction.

I'm so glad I found Unsolved Mysteries on youtube. I have been binging for days and days and it brings back memories because UM is a show my family and I always looked forward to watching together. The updates are awesome but I wish they would make the print bigger LOL. I have to jump up from my couch to see what they say. :)
Same my dad and pop and I loved this show....this is what made me addicted to crime and its outcome.
Me too but I have another reason for watching. Since I've been with my now husband, he told me his uncle's murder was on the show and 36 years later, it's still unsolved 😢

Patty and her husbands story is heartbreaking. I’m glad she sued them . What an awful awful story 😢
Can you imagine the torment they endured? I would have lost my mind.
Scumbag of a prosecuting attorney putting an innocent woman in jail glad his ass got sued
You can see the innocence and sincerity in the parents voices !!!!! It’s such a sad story 😔😥
I’m afraid their story is still tragic even now. Their youngest son DJ died in 2013 and David died in 2019. Poor Patty is now childless and a widow.
@@SulliMike23 omfg that poor woman. This corrupt ass system stole her time with her loved ones. Honestly, I wish things like what was done to her could be criminally prosecuted. That as whole should be locked up as long as she was.

Missouri: southern cops and politicians + midwestern culture and food. The worst of both worlds.
@@inimitableminimalist True, that a huge injustice took place when the doctors were unfamiliar with the rare MMA condition and the Stallings suffered. However, DO NOT blame all the Missouri population in general for the doctors' ignorance especially. This case could have taken place in any other state since most doctors, in general, have hardly seen this rare genetic condition and even in my state, New York, Patty could have been prosecuted. Mid-Western state residents are not backwards people nor are they ignorant.
Robert stack played the Elliot Ness role in a film. Like this show. Thought it was cool just for that fact.
I loved Robert Stack in "caddyshack 2"
In fact NBC did a Robert Stack special one night, where they aired an episode of UM (featuring the Mad Butcher segment) followed by a TV movie where Stack played Ness one last time (The return of Elliot Ness). 😊

Im in my 30s now, having grown up watching Unsolved Mysteries from a tender age, like 10? It really taught me some important life lessons, like you have to question authorities, even 'experts'. Not to distrust them, but like in Patty's case people can be very wrong. Oh, and to never trust cops.
Micheal never should have told anyone what he was up to, you don't spread around that you're going after gov officials. Im surprised it wasn't ruled a "suicide".
Stop with the cop bashing already! There are corrupt cops working alongside good and honest ones. No profession is 100% pure as there are corrupt individuals in any given profession.
One of my favorite episodes. You don't hear about the clevland torso killer often, and its an interesting look at early police work dealing with a new type of killer.
This is actually the first time I’m hearing about this killer. And I watch maybe a little too much true crime. It surprised me that I hadn’t heard of this one.
@@SniperWolf895 Sadly it's a very underappreciated case, one not covered much on true crime shows. UM was the first big program to cover the case, and since then I know maybe only 2 or 3 other documentary series that did a show about it. Real shame because it's truly the United States version of Jack the Ripper but multiplied by 4, since there's much more victims involved and the murders cover a larger area.
@Shirley Bailey The one I read was called "Torso. Elliot Ness And The Hunt For The Mad Butcher Of Kingsbury Run". I was homeless at the time and it scared the living shit out of me. Definitely made me more aware of people around me and motivated me to get of the streets.

Sounds like the persecutor was looking to at a feather to his cap and he knew she would be a easy case if they prevent evidence to be presented. These prosecutors rarely care about the human suffering. Just their ego and advancement in their job.
Robert Stack is such a treasure. I've been addicted to Untouchable reruns since age of 12. Left us so much. Thanks. Love it. Lvya all. D
The first case about Patty Stalling is just horrible. She was convicted of poisoning her babies twice but there was no evidence. The police and court didn’t want to believe it was MMA. I’m glad the mother sued the court system and the medical staff who misdiagnosed the condition. I’m glad she is free now and has custody of her D.J.

My friend works in the prison system in Washington state and the amount of dirty politics and stuff they do and keep secret is amazing. Oregon state murdered Michael franky to keep it quiet
With both children diagnosed with this MMA, I'm convinced its hereditary and it came from a rare gene in both parents and works kind of like SCT in relation to Sickle Cell Anemia/Disease.

OMG, that horrible case where baby Ryan died and his parents suffered so much whilst under scrutiny, false accusations and even jail! The poor family, surely baby Ryan would have been happier if he could have seen and been with his parents in his final moments. WTF is wrong with the legal system? They had the hide to say that unless their 2nd baby also dies, they still prefer to place blame just for fame!?! How absolutely ridiculous that FACTS could simply be twisted and time modified to conveniently pin a crime onto an innocent person! Back in those days, it's difficult to distinguish between those who practice law and the outlaws.
Worse today
Thanks for another great episode of unsolved mysteries The last story truly heartbreaking and sad😭 I really pray that Oded Gordon who went missing on may 12, 1989 is still alive out there somewhere maybe as a "john doe" in a hospital or is staying with someone/ppl and doesn't know his identity or he's a missing person his family is very concerned for his safety and just want to know that he's well cared for safe and alright after his disappearance he possibly was sighted in boston Massachusetts in January of 1990 he is from the new york state may have tried to traveled there after he disappeared if he's alive today he would now be 51 years old a very sad situation indeed
Since this is Unsolved Mysteries my mind immediately went to foul play. Hopefully that isn't the case. It's heartbreaking that he was never found.
...he was probably killed or died somewhere soon after he escaped. Autistic people like that just wouldn't last too long trying to hide. He would have been found soon after.
He most likely died of exposure.
Or maybe he found that magical train station, and was carried off to Sodor.
Seriously the police in this show... "when 12 people hear the evidence...". Well they didn't hear all the evidence though did they?! I think an apology is not enough. Such incompetence should be punished, I mean that's almost maliciously incompetent.
"...all the evidence" except the evidence that you made sure couldn't be used...that prosecutor didnt care about justice, just the win. That apology was BS. The DA shouldve fired his ass or suffer some humiliation in the Bar among his peers.
@@trojandarkhorse2022 Agreed. And then he has the gall to say "I believe in the system" after tge system failed so dysmally and almost ruined a womans life.

This is stamdard prosecutor hypocricy....if fingeprints dna ect match the defendent its the smoking gun....if none of it matches the defendent its 'not relevent'. Likewise they rail against defense lawyers blocking evidence when they do the exact same thing. Sadly seemingly no one cares about truth, just winning
That guy didn't even buy his own bullshit, you could see it in his stuttering and gulping and nervous blinks.

Great episode. Loved the Elliot Ness segment
Stack starred as Ness on the 1959-63 ABC hit show, "The Untouchables". Coincidence?
The Stacks facial expressions and body language is beyond awesome....
The guy who was convicted of killing Michael Francke was released in 2019, a judge ruled that he didn't get a fair hearing when his defense team wasn't allowed to bring up in court that SOMEONE ELSE CONFESSED to killing Francke and he even knew details of the case that weren't released to the public. FilmRise should update this in this episode. Francke was definitely not killed by a meth dealer, he was silenced for what he was uncovering.
Hi my father and I use to binge watch this show all the time and I'm so glad that it was brought back ,thanks for sharing ,
A lot of people don't know that Patty Stallings had a daughter before she had her sons. Her daughter got removed from her care and is in the care of her sister. The baby was freezing and starving when it was taken. She blamed that on being homeless not being able to feed or worm herself as well. This woman had a bad hand dealt to her.
Handling The Howard's I believe you just gave us the smoking gun because Patty Stallings has a history of neglecting children that’s why authorities were suspicious and that’s why she got arrested and was sent to jail.
I've done quite a bit of research on this case and Patty Stallings and I can't find any information about that. Your source?

One of the best episodes.
I'm glad the Stallings family sued all those involved for their suffering.
"Oh, hey, sorry we completely destroyed your life during a time when you were grieving the loss of your only son. Have a nice day."
I'd break his fucking jaw right then and there. No words, no yelling, just a comatose lawyer sprawled out on the carpet for the media to see. There must be a special kind of torment prepared for those who can do this to common, decent people with impunity.

They need to make a movie about Ness and the Torso killer
There was graphic novel of it titled TORSO written by Brian Michael Bendis
They kind of did when they made the black Dahlia movie
@@tonylopez-russell2631 wtf?? LOL. No they kinda didnt. The Black Dahlia case is an ACTUAL murder of Elizabeth Short. In it, neither the Ohio slayings, nor Ness, are mentioned.
Robert Stack reminds me of those gangsters from the 1930s. Or at least he belongs in that time period.
Well, he did play Ness in a TV show, so he's definitely got the style down
That’s exactly why he was cast as Eliot Ness before! That’s also why this particular episode of UM makes fans grin a little bit
From just seeing that mother and fathers reaction more so the mothers it was hard to believe she killed her own son. It was just sad. First of all what baby poisoner would even take the child to the hospital, not just once but twice... second of all the supposed bottle with ‘antifreeze’ was prepared by the step mother so what, the real mother somehow snuck a secret vile of antifreeze in with her and risked being caught red hande while dumping it into a bottle before feeding??! That prosecutor is so smug ‘I’m comfortable’ and then ‘I apologize’ like saying sorry requires just that and you should look at the person you’re saying it too. Poor family. But I’m happy UM helped her cuz I don’t think I would’ve been able to stop thinking about that case.
Although that is true, MPS is often close to undetectable and done in such a manor that the abuser does not want to be caught as that would put an end to their attention seeking need. They have a whole handful of tricks up their sleeve and devote a lot of time trying to remain undetected. I don't believe that was the case with this mother as the baby was already diagnosed with previous medical conditions and to poison to such extremes would surely (and did) jeopordize the mentally ill caretakers 'satisfaction'. Also in many cases of proxy the abuser suffers from some sort of munchausen "fake illness' themself. For sure there are baby poisoners out there, but do you think this mum deserved a second chance? Or do you believe her to be guilty, by Munchausen by proxy? Geez all I can think about through all of this is Yolanda Hadid!
I know! This case is so disgusting! That poor family.
Yeah glad that lady got out but the fact is stuff like this happens to innocent people everyday
baby poisoners do take them to hospital its called Munchhausen syndrome by proxy
@@Jolenesmart1980 Correct was about to type this.
The unmitigated gall of that prosecutor sends shivers down my spine. "I believe in the system," he states. He then says that if the conviction was incorrect then they have already "started the ball rolling." In other words, he believes in a system that could send an innocent, grieving woman to prison for killing her child because there is some chance that this verdict could be reversed if things play out right (if they needlessly tormented a grieving mother). The fact that this woman had to suffer the accusation, humiliation and years caged like an animal for something the medical evidence disproved gives him no lingering doubt about the justice of the situation at hand or the basic integrity of his metier. What a fucking low life. I mean how do these people delude themselves into believing that they are in the service of society? Mind boggling. They systematically destroyed these peoples already shattered lives. God have mercy on them.
Elliot Ness was definitely a hero.
The verdict in the baby poisoning doesn’t make any sense. Okay, leaving a mother who is accused of poisoning her baby once already ALONE with him for ANY MOUNT of time is a REALLY REALLY BAD idea, I mean....but the fact that the “poisoning” of Ryan took three days...THREE DAYS to take effect is absolutely ridiculous, especially in a three month old. If she really poisoned her son, Ryan, he would have shown symptoms within a couple of minutes or hours, not THREE DAYS LATER. That makes absolutely no sense at all. He would have died that very DAY, right after their sixth visit.
Agreed if patty would have gave him the glycol poisoning he would have exhibited symptoms Immediately NOT three days later he died from MMA they Absolutely sent a Innocent woman to jail I really hope she sued the freaking state and the authorities

I agree.
The person Ness suspected was Dr. Francis E. Sweeney who died in a Dayton mental hospital in 1964
had to be crazy
Had Patty not been pregnant with her 2nd child she'd still be in prison
After watching the forensic files episode on this which goes into everything....pattys son was murdered by rhe hospital due to their incompetent diagnosis and fatal treatments
The Cleveland torso killer was Francis E Sweeney, but who was Elliot Ness to prosecute the cousin of a congressman
An Elliot Ness special narrated by Robert Stack??
I'm getting me pop corn #priceless
Recent speculation suggests the Butcher may have traveled west and was the murderer of Elizabeth Short, of the "Black Dahlia Murder Case." However, the theory has not been confirmed.
Well these speculations are far from being recent, in fact UM did an episode about this theory way back in 1992 (season 5). There's some similarities between the murder of Elizabeth and the crimes committed by the Mad Butcher, but a lot of crucial details shows that it was most likely two different killers (timeline, geography, the fact Elizabeth wasn't beheaded, the way the body was cut, etc).
I just said that Dr GOERGE HODEL I've said this for a long time but nobody cares because he was untouchable doctor he was also the JIGSAW serial killer in Borneo
Sounds strange a killer would travel west ?! But another doctor was the prime suspect for Short's murder.
@@FlixCreEightR no it was Dr HODEL it was massively covered up his son steve HODEL has already proved it he even has documents stating his father would be covicted and the case is closed as the killer died in 1992
i wasn't alive when black dahlia murder occurred but heard lot about it from grown ups
I was around 8 years old when Unsolved Mysteries started airing. I was too young to realize how important some of these stories were. The story about the family and their baby’s death was devastating. To think that if not for this episode, that mother might have spent decades in prison.
The Francke segment is enough for Batman to go after those cops that covered up his murder
i cried during the baby Ryan segment, a big oversight in medical community. One good thing came out of his death and that is research and further development of medications

Didn't watch yet but about to listen to this video while I do other stuff. Just wanted to say that if death was a thumbnail that looked like an old dude that looked like death, it would look like the thumbnail they chose for this video.
Robert Stack played in the original series of The Untouchables in 59 to 63 and Kevin Costner did the movie around 87
Oded is still missing. He would be 51 if he is still alive.
A mini story of Eliot Ness...gotta' love it! 😉😁😉
Don't they think the guy from Cleveland is the same guy who killed the black dahlia. Unsolved mysteries hired a expert on MMA Joe Rogan, who said it's DMT.
Yeah that idea was thrown around, but I think dismissed as it was just one killing and Dahlias was far more surgical and clean than the others.
This statement applies to the 2 cases about the baby with MMA and the police department.
Law officials almost ALWAYS get TUNNEL VISIONED on a case. Because of this GREAT injustices are the only possible result. However, what PISSES me OFF is the way Judges are allowed to withhold evidence in cases. I FIRMLY believe that this is WRONG. The 12 ppl who are asked to judge a case MUST have EVERY faction of evidence related to a case. Whether relevant or not. How else can the ENTIRETY of the TRUTH be known? If you're a witness, you're sworn to tell the truth, WHOLE truth and nothing but. Apparently the DOUBLE STANDARD (within the court itself) is ignored. Covered up. Hidden.
My opinion
I definitely agree 100%
Feels bad for Patricia, losing her child and then accuse of the death. If doctors diagnose Ryan with MMA early, it could have invented his death. Not accusing Patricia of killing him.
The doctors and prosecutors involved should, themselves, be prosecuted for what they did to this poor women… absolute trash piles
The Cleveland Torso killer would have made a great sequel to The Untouchables
I did not expect Senator Jim Hill’s voice to sound like that, in the Micheal Franky case and Oregon Prison system, he sounded like a nerdy Caucasian! Lol
The DA in the Stallings case didn't care about the truth
He just wanted a guilty verdict.
I literally have the forensic files stallings episode on TV and stumbled on this episode
I'm sad for what happened to them, but also happy because the Stallings seem to be a really strong, loyal couple. They stood by each other and stayed together and that just makes me feel better about humans in general.
they got divorced lol
He got remarried and had 4 other kids
Bill Nye has a good point, that family got railroaded
If I was a Cop or The Judge involved in The Stallings Case I'd apologize to them everytime I saw them. I probably would get on my knees & kiss their shoes or boots.
🤡
Elliot Ness with the shantytown killer, becomes what Sherlock Holmes was with Jack the Ripper.
Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character and Jack the Ripper was a real serial killer, what are you even talking about.
If anyone is interested, there is a Law and Order SVU based on the Stallings case.
I hope she sued the hell out of the state of Missouri. That’s awful
in the prison killing this is what happened recently...U.S. Magistrate Judge John Acosta ruled April 18 1999 that Frank Gable, convicted in 1991 of the murder of Michael Francke, then director of the Oregon Department of Corrections, must be released within 90 days unless the state of Oregon decides to try him again.
The ruling is a remarkable twist in one of the most notorious murder cases in Oregon history, one that transfixed the state beginning in the late 1980s.
One sign of the strange saga Gable's case became: Francke's brothers, E. Patrick Francke, 76, and Kevin Francke, 65, issued a statement April 19 supporting the man convicted of murdering their brother. They say he didn't do it.
"We are happy in the extreme that the very real probability that Frank Gable will be released and his freedom is within sight," the brothers wrote. "The state can no longer afford to manufacture a case built on lies and half-truths."
How did a nearly 30-year-old conviction get overturned? Here's a timeline.
1989: Oregon Department of Corrections director Michael Francke, 42, is stabbed to death in the parking lot outside his Salem office early in the evening of Jan. 17, 1989. No murder weapon is ever found.
1990: Police arrest Frank Gable, a small-time Salem meth dealer, for Francke's murder.
The political climate feeds suspicions there is more to the case than a car burglary gone bad. Gov. Neil Goldschmidt had recruited Francke from New Mexico to clean up and expand Oregon's prison system, which was badly overcrowded and allegedly corrupt.
Some suspect Francke's efforts put him in the crosshairs of people who profited from the status quo.
1991: Gable is convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole. The state's witnesses are a motley collection of drug dealers and ex-cons who tell the court Gable admitted killing Francke.
2005: Oregonian and Portland Tribune columnist Phil Stanford writes more than 100 columns over 13 years, arguing Gable's innocence. But a 2005 Sunday Oregonian investigation concludes the evidence "rules out all but a lone figure: the man already behind bars."
2007: WW publishes a cover story about Greg Johnson, who claims he knows Gable is innocent because he drove Francke's real killer, another Salem meth dealer, named Tim Natividad (now deceased), to the crime scene. He also claims he watched prison officials pay Natividad for the murder. Nell Brown, a federal public defender in Portland, takes up Gable's case. For the next seven years, Brown's investigators methodically track down the witnesses who testified against Gable, more than a half-dozen of them. They all recant their testimony.
2014: Brown files a 189-page brief arguing Gable was wrongly convicted.
2019: U.S. Magistrate Judge John Acosta orders the state to retry Gable or release him within 90 days. "Although the evidence presented at trial in 1991 resulted in a guilty verdict," the judge writes, "the court concludes that it is more likely than not that no reasonable juror would find Gable guilty in light of the totality of all of the evidence uncovered since that time, particularly the newly presented evidence of witness recantations."
There were similarities with this case and the black dahlia. Precision cuts and the blood drained from the bodies, probably in the medical field.
Ness' tactics were cartoonish and ridiculous. It's no wonder he didn't get elected. Pattys story is incredibly sad. So glad they figured that out. Not even allowing her to attend the funeral. I hope they sued the hospital and the state
So out of curiosity, what would you have done to try to solve the Kingsbury Run case? Using everything based on that Era and not by todays standards.
