This show has saved so many lives, solved so many mysteries. Such a blessed legendary show that will never be forgotten. Thanks to the uploader for bringing back one of my best childhood memories. Robert Stack and UM was a huge part of my childhood.
Whoever had the idea of having the unsolved mysteries had the brightest idea ever . With Robert stack he was is a great actor, teller of honest stories . We your fans love,miss you dearly . Rest in peace Robert .
Gilbert Martinez, this is still how adoption works now because most family cannot afford or have the means to adopt more than one child. There are families adopting siblings but it’s rare.
@@cherchuhaikieu4328 obviously its nothing like that fake news moron. wow. you are an extreme case of stupid. how do you loo yourself in the mirror and not think "boy i need better critical thinking skills" you are the typical problem with the world. zombie.
gilbert its amazing that old age gives such a different perspective I am moved more by the parents and mothers who lost loved ones and siblings that didnt get to grow up together.
I certainly hate when children are either separated from families or their siblings. Its inhuman to do that to kids so young and don't understand the reasons for this.
@@BlackCatFilmProductions Tell me about it. It is still difficult to watch this or any of those orphanage episodes where both the parents and children were lied to upon being separated although some of them did eventually find each other. The power of the lie is immeasurable, this is why I despise one of my uncles. He was a pathological liar with a talent for manipulation and coercion.
Isn't it, though? Nowadays if a kid was treated like that he'd probably end up in prison. So glad the late Mr. Murphy went on to have a large family of his own.
Very sad. Not too surprising in the grand scheme of things I guess. People want their *own* children, not someone else's. Many only adopt because they want children but have no choice because of biological reasons. It's incredibly rare to encounter someone genuinely doing anything out of the goodness of their kind heart. Humans just aren't the giving sort, we take amicable trades.
A great portion of my extended family is adopted. My grandfather was the only one of his brothers to have his own children. The others all adopted their children. My dream was to adopt instead of delivering children. Times have changed and it is a lengthy and difficult process to adopt. My boyfriend is adopted and fortunately had a wonderful life. We now have a wonderful life together. 😊
Micki Jo West's killer, Marvin Irvin, is the husband of her best friend Ruth Ann. Ruth Ann had left Marvin and Micki Jo didn't want to tell him where they were. The mysterious frightened letters were written by Marvin's sister, Mary Irvin.
@@markyboy214 3:56 Yes, exactly. She is the one who says she thinks she knows who did it referring to her ex-husband Marvin. This is why they all said they know the suspect.
My first husband traveled for his job. I could never watch this show if he was out of town. It was creepy and scary beyond description because it was REAL.
@@cyrene7784 I relate a lot to this. I grew up on true crime shows. My entire immediate family loves the genre. The earliest I can recall watching them was around first or second grade I believe. Unsolved Mysteries just so happens to be one of my all time favorites. 🙂
There were some crime’s on this show that were:”too scary’to watch!Yet,curiosity ‘pull’s you in!’You want to know what happen’s to people,and be happy a crime is solved!Yes!
I could not watch all of the orphan train children being adopted. My heart hurts for all those families torn apart. Psychic segment was fascinating, though.
A killer that was able to even able to hide themselves from a genuine psychic, a disturbing thought. It could be the killer had obscured their real name from law enforcement (or had no record) and possibly the government using an assumed identity for his entire life, transient or homeless not even recorded in birth records. Curious how the results of that name would appear in a search of modern law enforcement databases on 2023. The name Dorthy read is how the killer identifies himself, personally.
@@excrono Exactly. With the Internet for example, a username or screen name isn't necessarily a person's legal name. Or something like a pen name for a writer.
I have to send a HUGE thanks for these playlists and ad-free at that. Takes me back to when I'd nod off watching this as a kid, every night. So many interesting stories through the entire series!
What a great program ,so many resolved mysteries . The mystic woman is amazing , the very fact that she has succeeded in predicting the future shows how little we know about human existence !
i remember watching Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack as a little girl (Im 30) and I also watched the version of UM with Dennis Farina (I apologize if I misspelled the last name of the second host of UM) during high school, but somehow I always liked and enjoyed Robert Stack as the host a lot better. Dennis Farina did a good job, but there's something about Robert Stack that evokes a feeling of mystery and intrigue when he narrates the cases.
I think it may have to do with Robert's voice as well as the way he sets up each case based on the story like with a wild west mystery he is in a wild west type setting or a dark past he's in the darker part of a city. He add the props i think would be the best way to say it as well as him being in a trenchcoat most of the time.
I am currently in the process of opening my home to foster children we added onto our home and plan to give the children like Frances a loving home even if only temporary. Such a sad story.
The music suites the show. I can hardly wait for the new Unsolved mysteries with this musical score! It gets your blood pumping waiting for the episode to begin.
Many of the children were abandoned or one or both parents dead. It was late victorian era, a child out of wedlock was an outcast even from their own families (if mom didn't commit suicide while pregnant to prevent the disgrace), disease was rampant, drugs and alchohol were big issues too often leaving the parents incapacitated if not in prison. While the solution was barbaric, they didn't feel they had much of a choice at the time.
Carlos Clayton As a former foster child and teen I agree it was heartbreaking. Even for this era and timeframe they were often separated from their siblings. 😔💔
We all thought nothing bad happened in the 80s. Kids ran freely all over town as long as we were home before the streetlights were on. I’m overwhelmed by all of these crimes.
Things were worse back in the "good old days" you just didn't hear about it like you do now because of the internet. Crime rates in the US and globally have been dropping for decades.
I grew up in the '60s and it was definitely that way we would spend all day on our bikes riding all over town and we wouldn't come home until after dark until 10:00. There was a siren that would sound for curfew for kids. Times have certainly changed.
I've had a few people from my 23andme profile contact me about relatives of my great grandmother's that were taken out west to be adopted. I think a sibling and a few cousins were, from what we've gathered. She was an Irish immigrant and very poor, so I suspect her whole family, like a lot of people, gave away some kids out of financial issues.

Dorothy Allison is a New Jersey psychic, who helps with police in hundreds of investigations. Although she says that in several cases she finds no answer, many other cases she is able to help solve. She has lived in New Jersey her entire life. She is married with four children. Her husband Bob is an engineer for a Manhattan construction company. When she was fourteen, she had her first indication of her psychic abilities when she predicted the death of her father. Since the Michael Kurcsics investigation, most of her cases have been homicides, many of them involving children. Unsolved Mysteries found a case that they decided that she should try to solve, the murder of Lori Zimmerman. They did not give any information about the murder or the victim. This was done to see if she would be able to help give new information about the killer. She continued to work as a psychic until she passed away in 1999.
@Why o Why I'm really sorry for your loss. I can't imagine that. Having someone die is one thing, but to not even know what happened? I'd go mad with frustration.
As a boy I grew up around the corner from the Jacobson’s.I knew Susan,she was born in 62 and I was born in 66.Her mother Ellen and father Bill were both wonderful people.They lived on Anderson in Staten Island New York.
The job she was interviewing for was Ralph’s Ices on Port Richmond Ave.It’s maybe 4 or 5 blocks from where she lived on Anderson Ave.Also Ralph’s Ices is still there and does a brisk business
Unresolved. In 1988, Marvin Lee Irvin was arrested for attempting to kidnap his girlfriend. She told police that he confessed to killing Micki; he also threatened to kill her if she left him. In the fall of 1990, Irvin was arrested and charged with the murders of Patricia Diane Rose, thirty-one, and Crystal Lynn Simmons, thirty-three. The two both vanished earlier in 1990; Patricia on September 17 and Crystal on October 29. Their bodies were found in a field near property that the Irvin family owned. Autopsies revealed that both women died of blunt force trauma. The victims' jewelry were found in his home, along with a hammer that was determined to be the murder weapon. Blood from both victims were found in his truck. Irvin initially denied killing either woman or Micki. However, police located a key witness: a young woman who was dating Irvin at the time of Micki's disappearance. She told investigators that she had helped Irvin dispose of Micki's body. As a result of her testimony, he was charged with Micki's kidnapping and murder. In the fall of 1991, he confessed to Micki's murder, stating that as he had approached her at the bus stop, she took a hammer out of her purse and threw it at him. He then beat her and intended to take her to work, but allegedly she made racial references to him so he stabbed her four times in the chest, shot her twice in his vehicle and buried her in a cornfield in Highland, Kansas. This is the same property where his other victims were found. In October of 1991, Irvin pleaded guilty to the first-degree murders of Patricia and Crystal as part of a plea agreement; he also pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of Micki so that the state would not seek the death penalty. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Although the other two victims' bodies were found at the site, Micki's remains were never found. Investigators admit that they made mistakes in the investigation and failed to search his vehicle. They now believe that Irvin was the writer of the notes and that he wrote them to throw off and taunt investigators.
Parents were so irresponsible back in the day! Letting 5 year old out the door at 8 in the morning with not much older brother. I feel sorry for the brother because that event must have traumatised him for life! Maybe he even got blamed for his little brother death!
Having lived in Hagerstown for 23 years it's amazing to see the town on a major show but sad at the same time due to the nature of the crime. I used to visit that Library quite often, The Washington County Free Library. The blue building they passed before the Library was the old bus terminal which is been closed for years. There is a corner store behind the Library called Carmens and then an alley called Cramer Alley. The memories...
note2owns I don’t see how you lasted that long in Hagerstown. I lived there for a few years during college (only because the cost of living was lower there than other areas in MD). I finally left Hagerstown to attend law school in DC. Hagerstown is a drug and crime infested dump! Plenty of racists there as well.
Another one making me cry 😢 I feel so bad that Frances didn't live to continue his search, then his wide tried and still no relatives were found. This is so sad. Seeing that train with orphins and children the parents couldn't take care of riding the train to get hopefully taken for living or as a slave basically makes me feel so sick. It's just not right.
That story with Francis is so heartbreaking, he’s never going to meet his sister and most likely now she’s no longer with us too. Hopefully some day his family will find out where she was and get that little bit of closure.
The Lori Zimmerman case in Maryland is so tragic, proves young girls are never safe alone anywhere hate that the case was never solved to bad Dorothy Allison could not help.
This lady Dorothy Allison was incredibly sharp in her visions or dreams pertaining crimes committed against innocent people. I am glad that the police detectives worked with her to solve the cases of people who also had disappeared. Dorothy was truly a psychic and not like any other charlatans who claims to have “psychic powers” when they don’t and only want money from people. I am impressed at this lady and her ability who worked together with investigators to solved the cases that they couldn’t solve. God bless Dorothy Allison always for the good she was doing helping authorities to bring to justice those responsible for the crimes committed against humanity. I applaud her and the investigators too who believed in her. 👏👏👏👏👍👍🙌🙌🙌
The idea of Orphan Trains is fucking heartbreaking. True a lot of the kids had no one but a lot of kids did have relatives in NYC and were taken away against their will. Tom Russell's song "Rider on an Orphan Train" is about it and is so damn sad.
That Francis Murphy case. They said Margret was born in Yonkers & the mom's maiden name was Harding. All my moms family, myself included are from Yonkers. Her mom's maiden name is Harding!
My heart goes out to all the people who have lost love ones . I can really truly honestly feel for you . I myself have lost love ones, I know it takes more time to heal .
The final segment...I'm sure Robert Stack lost his sh*t over that segment. Of course given the types of cases she normally gets she can assume it's a murder case with 90% accuracy. Robert Stack was largely dismissive of the paranormal/ supernatural segments.
@@sfletch3042 I used to do same,didnt understand why they had the unsolved mysteries with dennis farina,but not Robert stack ,they would get taken down.
The orphan train episode always makes me cry. I cannot imagine the heartbreak of losing parents and then being separated from siblings. I really believe that siblings should be adopted together. Sadly that is not practical when there are so few available families to adopt kids in need. The foster care system in America is deeply flawed and desprately needs reform.
They just drove kids across the country on a train and gave them away to whoever. I can't imagine some of the awful situations and lives some of these kids ended up having
Regarding disappearance of Micki Jo West, Marvin Lee Irvin, a former police officer, confessed to West's murder. She had been a friend of his first wife. Irvin had been investigated as a suspect shortly after West's disappearance and her family believed he was involved, but he passed a polygraph and there was little evidence to implicate him. Irvin also confessed to killing two other women in 1990 and burying them in the same field. A search turned up the bodies of his other victims, but there was no sign of West. To escape the death penalty for two first degree murders, Marvin confessed to killing Micki. The court sentenced him to three consecutive life sentences without any hope of parole.
I love this show I remember watching America’s most wanted ,rescue 911 and unsolved mysteries! Still love watching even tho I’ve seen every one it’s like seeing them again for the first time!!
Say what you want about Psychics. I'm not a big believer either, but Unsolved Mysteries did segments on the 2 most convincing I've ever heard of with Dorothy Allision here and George Anderson.
Andy, you are watching a repeat. At the end of each repeated episode, the producers have NOW added the updated information regarding what transpired since the original TV broadcast in the 80s. What we are watching now was uploaded in 2019 after it was edited to include the latest information - for our benefit.
@BettySwalls OO I ended up living in the same apartments with her sister 15 years ago, they've always thought she's in a well on the property somewhere.
@@lucbelcher7256 Micki Jo's killer Marvin Irvin: Is he still living if you know? He's not listed as being in the Missouri Department of corrections' custody.
Lucy Belcher I have heard Irvin basically told the cops he buried her in a cornfield, but her body wasn’t found there. So he basically lied to them? Whose property is the well located on?
I live in Hagerstown, Maryland and the last episode on this is in Hagerstown,Md. I grew up in Baltimore, Md. I moved to Hagerstown June 5, 1995. I have been seeing alot of these episodes take place in Maryland.
2:40 CLEVER FILMRISE EDIT JOB The part in the intro about Dorothy Allison was actually the intro to Pre-series Special #6. They edited this to look like an actual Season 1 episode. Listen closely to the music while transitioning to the bridge to the SOLVED montage.
"At this point we have a missing person's case" --The police. Bs. The authorties damn well knew she was murdered and who did it. The arrest should have came earlier. But glad it came.
Had it come earlier it would have saved the lives of two other women. Marvin is a monster and deserves much worse than what he got. The police should have done a better job. They didn’t even check on his “alibi” until a few years later. Micki’s body was never found..
To Unsolved Mysteries: When I first saw this video a couple years ago there was a sufficient audio level for comfortable listening, but it is now a widespread problem on RUclips that the audio signal is very faint, although the ads that occur throughout the posted video are PLENTY LOUD. I listen on high quality headphones at maximum volume and I still have to strain to hear dialogue--except for the ads, which are always PLENTY LOUD. Please do what you can to re-post your videos with greatly boosted audio and please alert RUclips to this growing problem. I believe RUclips itself is the source of the problem and so RUclips ought to be the one that fixes it.

Unsolved Mysteries found a case that they decided that she should try to solve, the murder of Lori Zimmerman. They did not give any information about the murder or the victim. This was done to see if she would be able to help give new information about the killer. She continued to work as a psychic until she passed away in 1999.
@Why o Why I'm really sorry for your loss. I can't imagine that. Having someone die is one thing, but to not even know what happened? I'd go mad with frustration.
Unsolved Mysteries theme, makes a great ringtone...
Yes it does , i have it lol
Robert Stacks voice telling me i have a call or incoming message would still scare the hell out of me
One of the best programs in television history and RIP Robert 🙏
As a boy I grew up around the corner from the Jacobson’s.I knew Susan,she was born in 62 and I was born in 66.Her mother Ellen and father Bill were both wonderful people.They lived on Anderson in Staten Island New York.
The job she was interviewing for was Ralph’s Ices on Port Richmond Ave.It’s maybe 4 or 5 blocks from where she lived on Anderson Ave.Also Ralph’s Ices is still there and does a brisk business
It'll be a sad day when FilmRise loses the rights,and these get taken down. I love this show!!
That won't happen thankfully they fully own the rights they have had the rights for a long ass time!
@@mkproductions2.0 When FilmRise loses the rights, which is almost inevitable, this'll get taken down.
Unresolved. In 1988, Marvin Lee Irvin was arrested for attempting to kidnap his girlfriend. She told police that he confessed to killing Micki; he also threatened to kill her if she left him. In the fall of 1990, Irvin was arrested and charged with the murders of Patricia Diane Rose, thirty-one, and Crystal Lynn Simmons, thirty-three. The two both vanished earlier in 1990; Patricia on September 17 and Crystal on October 29. Their bodies were found in a field near property that the Irvin family owned. Autopsies revealed that both women died of blunt force trauma. The victims' jewelry were found in his home, along with a hammer that was determined to be the murder weapon. Blood from both victims were found in his truck.
Irvin initially denied killing either woman or Micki. However, police located a key witness: a young woman who was dating Irvin at the time of Micki's disappearance. She told investigators that she had helped Irvin dispose of Micki's body. As a result of her testimony, he was charged with Micki's kidnapping and murder.
In the fall of 1991, he confessed to Micki's murder, stating that as he had approached her at the bus stop, she took a hammer out of her purse and threw it at him. He then beat her and intended to take her to work, but allegedly she made racial references to him so he stabbed her four times in the chest, shot her twice in his vehicle and buried her in a cornfield in Highland, Kansas. This is the same property where his other victims were found.
In October of 1991, Irvin pleaded guilty to the first-degree murders of Patricia and Crystal as part of a plea agreement; he also pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of Micki so that the state would not seek the death penalty. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Although the other two victims' bodies were found at the site, Micki's remains were never found.
Investigators admit that they made mistakes in the investigation and failed to search his vehicle. They now believe that Irvin was the writer of the notes and that he wrote them to throw off and taunt investigators.
The story of the missing boy sent chills down my spine.
Parents were so irresponsible back in the day! Letting 5 year old out the door at 8 in the morning with not much older brother. I feel sorry for the brother because that event must have traumatised him for life! Maybe he even got blamed for his little brother death!
I loved this show.
Having lived in Hagerstown for 23 years it's amazing to see the town on a major show but sad at the same time due to the nature of the crime. I used to visit that Library quite often, The Washington County Free Library. The blue building they passed before the Library was the old bus terminal which is been closed for years. There is a corner store behind the Library called Carmens and then an alley called Cramer Alley. The memories...

I don’t see how you lasted that long in Hagerstown. I lived there for a few years during college (only because the cost of living was lower there than other areas in MD). I finally left Hagerstown to attend law school in DC. Hagerstown is a drug and crime infested dump! Plenty of racists there as well.
I'm still in Hagerstown.
Another one making me cry 😢 I feel so bad that Frances didn't live to continue his search, then his wide tried and still no relatives were found. This is so sad. Seeing that train with orphins and children the parents couldn't take care of riding the train to get hopefully taken for living or as a slave basically makes me feel so sick. It's just not right.
These are kind of addictive.
Slightly
kind of?
That story with Francis is so heartbreaking, he’s never going to meet his sister and most likely now she’s no longer with us too. Hopefully some day his family will find out where she was and get that little bit of closure.
He met her in heaven if she was already dead. If she wasn't dead when he died he still knows who she is and met/will meet her in heaven.
I was really hoping for an update on the Laurie Zimmerman case. Hopefully it will be solved someday.
The Lori Zimmerman case in Maryland is so tragic, proves young girls are never safe alone anywhere hate that the case was never solved to bad Dorothy Allison could not help.
Andrew Zimmerman has now always been “Zimmern”. Mandela Effect.
This lady Dorothy Allison was incredibly sharp in her visions or dreams pertaining crimes committed against innocent people. I am glad that the police detectives worked with her to solve the cases of people who also had disappeared. Dorothy was truly a psychic and not like any other charlatans who claims to have “psychic powers” when they don’t and only want money from people.
I am impressed at this lady and her ability who worked together with investigators to solved the cases that they couldn’t solve.
God bless Dorothy Allison always for the good she was doing helping authorities to bring to justice those responsible for the crimes committed against humanity. I applaud her and the investigators too who believed in her. 👏👏👏👏👍👍🙌🙌🙌
The idea of Orphan Trains is fucking heartbreaking. True a lot of the kids had no one but a lot of kids did have relatives in NYC and were taken away against their will. Tom Russell's song "Rider on an Orphan Train" is about it and is so damn sad.
I loved this show, but to this day his voice really invokes that eerie, creepy feeling. Effective choice of host/voiceover.
That Francis Murphy case. They said Margret was born in Yonkers & the mom's maiden name was Harding. All my moms family, myself included are from Yonkers. Her mom's maiden name is Harding!
Robert Stack is awesome
Deep baritone voice direct professional and classy Robert was the best host for this program
Man this music plays in my memories of a little kid watching these as they aired.
That music cue at 7:51 is absolutely chilling. Vintage UM.
My heart goes out to all the people who have lost love ones . I can really truly honestly feel for you . I myself have lost love ones, I know it takes more time to heal .
The final segment...I'm sure Robert Stack lost his sh*t over that segment. Of course given the types of cases she normally gets she can assume it's a murder case with 90% accuracy.
Robert Stack was largely dismissive of the paranormal/ supernatural segments.
Some of these stories about the separated orphan siblings are really sad 😢
I imagine that very, VERY few children from the "Orphan Trains" are still alive today; only the youngest ones from the last trains to go out.
I saw these as a kid; and I grew up wondering about those segments that stuck with me.
The kid separation segment was hard to watch had a big lump in my throat seeing all of it?
These segments and missing/murdered kids are my least favorite by a longshot.
so happy stack is back ; ]
Joanne Rutledge crack is whack
I was so Overjoyed to find these on RUclips because I searched for these episodes with Robert Stack many times and could never find any of them
@@sfletch3042 I used to do same,didnt understand why they had the unsolved mysteries with dennis farina,but not Robert stack ,they would get taken down.
P
22:02 There's a kid overexcited saying "bye".
😂😂😂….A little too damn excited
There should have really been a disclaimer on this episode. Warning: you will probably cry, go get your tissues.
Reunited stories make me ugly cry tears of joy!!!!
What a great episode!
I really love seeing the updates and seeing these criminals get what they deserve.
The orphan train episode always makes me cry. I cannot imagine the heartbreak of losing parents and then being separated from siblings. I really believe that siblings should be adopted together. Sadly that is not practical when there are so few available families to adopt kids in need. The foster care system in America is deeply flawed and desprately needs reform.
That train story reminds me of the case of the twin study that was exposed in the documentary Three Identical Strangers.
"He stepped out into space...and fell into the river below...". I'm so sorry, but I died laughing 😂 He's now in Willoughby lol.
Last stop!
😆 🤣
Willoughby… Next stop is Willoughby
I love the reunion between Sylvia and Joseph
Glad 2see the TV show again .GOD BLESS YOUR GOOD DEEDS.
They just drove kids across the country on a train and gave them away to whoever. I can't imagine some of the awful situations and lives some of these kids ended up having
Probably almost as bad as being kid #8 from "baby-daddy" #6 and single mother welfare queen lakwanda.
Regarding disappearance of Micki Jo West, Marvin Lee Irvin, a former police officer, confessed to West's murder. She had been a friend of his first wife. Irvin had been investigated as a suspect shortly after West's disappearance and her family believed he was involved, but he passed a polygraph and there was little evidence to implicate him. Irvin also confessed to killing two other women in 1990 and burying them in the same field. A search turned up the bodies of his other victims, but there was no sign of West. To escape the death penalty for two first degree murders, Marvin confessed to killing Micki. The court sentenced him to three consecutive life sentences without any hope of parole.
I love this show I remember watching America’s most wanted ,rescue 911 and unsolved mysteries! Still love watching even tho I’ve seen every one it’s like seeing them again for the first time!!
Say what you want about Psychics. I'm not a big believer either, but Unsolved Mysteries did segments on the 2 most convincing I've ever heard of with Dorothy Allision here and George Anderson.
22:02 Kid clearly going all out for his limited part.
Haha! "Byaghhhh!"
How could Dave Davis die in prison after 35yrs if this is from 1989? He was arrested in '89 and died in 2014 so that's 25yrs !
this video was made 30 years ago, so they predicted the future?
When FilmRise put Unsolved Mysteries on RUclips, they edited the episodes with updated information.
Andy, you are watching a repeat. At the end of each repeated episode, the producers have NOW added the updated information regarding what transpired since the original TV broadcast in the 80s.
What we are watching now was uploaded in 2019 after it was edited to include the latest information - for our benefit.
@@Masene I can't see your point. It would have to be 2024 NOW for the statement to be true, but he died in 2014.
@@Andy-yo3hd Oh, my! Lol at me, Andy! My bad!
I am from St. Joseph and that case is still talked about. She's never been found.
@BettySwalls OO I ended up living in the same apartments with her sister 15 years ago, they've always thought she's in a well on the property somewhere.
@@lucbelcher7256 Micki Jo's killer Marvin Irvin: Is he still living if you know? He's not listed as being in the Missouri Department of corrections' custody.
Lucy Belcher I have heard Irvin basically told the cops he buried her in a cornfield, but her body wasn’t found there. So he basically lied to them? Whose property is the well located on?
Luv Belcher-Your from St Joseph-Where is your Mother from
A heartwrench episode😢
I live in Hagerstown, Maryland and the last episode on this is in Hagerstown,Md. I grew up in Baltimore, Md. I moved to Hagerstown June 5, 1995. I have been seeing alot of these episodes take place in Maryland.
I loved this show , when I was little,
I remember my dad saying "do you like this show because of his creepy voice" hahaa sure did dad
2:40 CLEVER FILMRISE EDIT JOB
The part in the intro about Dorothy Allison was actually the intro to Pre-series Special #6.
They edited this to look like an actual Season 1 episode.
Listen closely to the music while transitioning to the bridge to the SOLVED montage.
They made a movie about the Davis & Shannon case! I can't remember the name of the movie but I know the story all too well.😔
"At this point we have a missing person's case" --The police.
Bs. The authorties damn well knew she was murdered and who did it. The arrest should have came earlier. But glad it came.
Had it come earlier it would have saved the lives of two other women. Marvin is a monster and deserves much worse than what he got. The police should have done a better job. They didn’t even check on his “alibi” until a few years later. Micki’s body was never found..
@@ashleywolfing4222 I am curious to know if one of the other 2 women was the author of the notes.
@@roylavecchia1436 Police suspect Marvin himself was the author, trying to taunt police and Micky's family. Guy was beyond awful in every respect.
22:02 that's one enthusiastic goodbye 🤣
🤣
This episode about the adoption train...😭😭😭😭
Back then, most adoptive-parents were farmers who adopted these young orphans/abandoned children for their labor works.
@@lmc2664 I know it’s heart wrenching
This is one of my favorite shows it's A. Nostalgia .... Tubi has all the seasons and episodes ❤
Idk why, I started laughing at the way Robert Stack was reading that note.
Man I miss Robert stack, rip
Scottt-he misses hitting you in your sweet ASS
Mr. Murphy's store was so sad.
To Unsolved Mysteries: When I first saw this video a couple years ago there was a sufficient audio level for comfortable listening, but it is now a widespread problem on RUclips that the audio signal is very faint, although the ads that occur throughout the posted video are PLENTY LOUD. I listen on high quality headphones at maximum volume and I still have to strain to hear dialogue--except for the ads, which are always PLENTY LOUD. Please do what you can to re-post your videos with greatly boosted audio and please alert RUclips to this growing problem. I believe RUclips itself is the source of the problem and so RUclips ought to be the one that fixes it.
