I miss the late Robert Stack. I could listen to this guy all day . Very talented man. And this show reminds me of good tv watching of my young life. Thankyou for your work Mr Stack. We miss you very much. RIP Robert Stack the original Untouchable.
Same here. A lot of times at work I put 1 AirPod in and listen to music/pod cast. But I get sick of songs and changing them etc etc. so about 10 years ago I started listening to unsolved mysteries and a few other similar shows from the late 80/90s. I just listen to it at work. I don’t actually watch it. It helps the day so much and it’s actually pretty entertaining.
Kathy's story hit a nerve with me. About 3 or 4 years ago I was walking home. I was only a few feet from my house, literally right around the corner. At the end of the street I was on, a car sat at the stop sign. I didn't think anything about it as there were houses all around. I assumed they were waiting for someone to come out or something. As I got closer, I noticed the passenger was just standing by the driver's side, as if he were waiting for me to pass by. He was staring off into space. I felt uneasy with the scene and made an effort to walk on the other side of the street. I didn't want to walk right by the car. I had headphones in but my music was low. I kept my cool but felt as though someone was behind me. In a matter of seconds, my neighbor come out of his house to toss his trash. Then I heard a car door slam and tires screeching. I think if my neighbor hadn't come out, I would've been grabbed and forced into that car. I never reported it because it happened so fast. I wouldn't have been able to provide more details. It was immensely scary and I'm so thankful my neighbor came out when he did
Cathy's story hit hard. Something similar happened to me leaving work about 5 or 6 years ago. I left the private school that I was working at and had a 3 minute walk to my dad's car. It was a dark, cold wintery night and parked in front of a church was a dark vehicle. Two, large burly men got out and started to call me over to them, I ignored them and started running as they were approaching me. Luckily, my Dad, a large man too, saw me and got out of his car in time and they took off really quick. The next day the cleaning lady told me to be careful, they take women for human trafficking and prostitution in that area. 😢 😱 Thank God I don't work there anymore. 🙏 😅
When I was a kid, the music scared me and I always thought that when Stack was in the office the background people were really working hard on cases. Lmao
Now I know why my parents tracked my every move and why my mom walked me to school until I was 13. Of course back then, I felt embarrassed, but now I realize why, because of things like this. Poor Kathy, so heartbreaking :(
Lol. My parents did the same. I wasn't even allowed to walk down the street alone or go to sleepovers. Kathy's case gave me nightmares when I saw this segment in middle school.

My mom always kept an iron grip on us going places alone, my sister would get so angry at 13 because our mom just wouldn't let her walk around the mall with just her friends and not our mom. I would only get mad sometimes because my mom would rarely let me over to anyone of my friends houses for a sleepover (only my cousins house most of the time, but my friends were always welcome at my house!). She always explained to us why, and I understood and didn't make a fuss about it. My sister only realizes now after having her own child and apologizes to our mom when the subject comes up.
@honey bee I'll never understood why ( American ) parents will allow their teenagers, ( even if they are 17 and / or 18 years old ), to roam all hours of the night. 🤔🤔 Here in the Caribbean . . . . . . . . at 16 years old and it is 11:00 p.m. at night, you had better know you're inside the house or better yet . . . . . . . . . sleeping ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

And led to them being separated by sticking them in the system, away from the last constant in their young lives. It’s their parents who I feel really sorry for, coming home expecting to help celebrate two birthdays only to find all the kids gone. That’s devastating and if they learned a neighbour went to social services, I don’t envy that neighbour one bit.
I remember ages ago hearing a family story about a great uncle that had these guys come to his house to take the kids away during this same depression era. The family was heavily armed and scared the social workers away forever.
Growing up, I'd overhear Dad talking about stories like this a lot because a CPS agent a few towns over was on some sort of power trip. I spent my childhood *terrified* that something like this would happen to me and my siblings. So, I researched how to survive as a fugitive and came up with escape plans if men in black ever showed up at our house.
Kathy Hobb’s case is so sad it’s almost unbelievable. This poor girl had a sad life and it ended way too soon. I know of a case of a local girl named Brittany Phillips who was murdered in her own apartment in Tulsa, OK and the mother and local detectives have worked on the case for years. And over ten years later it’s still unsolved.
At least now many of them have updates, I remember back in the 90s it was very rare to have them and usually they weren't attached to the actual episode, you had to wait for a different one that included it.
Totally true, what a heartbreaking case. The poor girl just wanted to buy a new book and bam, an opportunistic monster took her life away. It's just incredibly sad.
@@donaldpalmer6625 Of course now that we know what happened to her we all wish she would have done exactly as you said Don, sadly she trusted the neighborhood enough to go on her own. I think we were all guilty of this at some point, going at the convenience store on our own without thinking of the potential danger watching us. Opportunistic robbers or killers can struck anyone at any time, and we rarely think that these attacks can happen to us. Poor Kathy. 😔
She's someone from the show I think about sometimes. Such a short life full of heartache. You just feel so bad for her. I hope her mother and sister are okay.
I too used to watch this with my grandparents. My grandma was a big fan of Robert Stack. I very much miss my now late Grandparents and the sadly late brilliant Robert Stack. They were all brilliant people.
i find those social workers back in those days were doing the most, and why was it so easy for them to just take the kids from their parents. those social workers did way more harm than good. look how much families they have split apart smh
The one about the social worker happened to my father too and he never found his sister. I told him to go on this show, but he was to private. Well, he's no longer here, God rest his soul.
Social workers should actually do something to inform. They don't help, just separate. All the good well-meaning neighbours, do any good for themselves?
My dad's name was Bill Purintun. A few years before this aired we got a call one night from another Bill Purintun. Remember, this was probably 1986-1989, way before Google and cell phones. The Bill Purintun on the other line asked my dad about his family and if he knew anything that could help find his siblings. Unfortunately, we didn't. Years later we saw this segment and were so thrilled they were reunited!
When the siblings got to see each other again I got emotional. You could tell how excited they were to see each other again, and I couldn't imagine not getting to see my siblings for almost 40 years
The story about the soldier Phillip and the little girl Regenia made me cry happy tears ❤ what an absolutely beautiful story. I feel honored to hear this story ❤
Holy cow, as someone who also grew up with premonitions/fear that I'd die by a certain age, Kathy's story hit hard. I hope she rests in peace and i hope her family and friends found peace as well

Uncas Unga What?! Kudos to the mother who let her child walk to a store after 11:00 pm so that she could be murdered? Wow!! I hope you don’t have children!!
Gotta be honest; Kathy's murder almost seems like a self-fulfilled prophesy. Why would she go out in the middle of the night to buy a book when she could have done so the next day? Very unusual for someone who already had a fear of dying young.
I remember watching Bill Harrington's story when it first came out as a kid. As an adult, what type of lawsuit could that family have against the state? The state just came and took the kids away based off of a phone call. There was no investigation or anything.
Says who? If you have this file, please share cause I guarantee you that not a single child has been removed from a home based on a phone call. Perhaps the father admitted he couldn't care for the kids and did a voluntary surrender? He sure didn't try to fight or appear at the court hearings. People are such idiots, especially of the true crime variety. CPS and social workers does not "tear families apart". They have no authority. It's called "family courts". 99% of all child abused, molested and trafficked are by their family members and or friends of the family. In fact family courts fight so hard to keep families together, they almost always keep children in abusive situations far too long before removing them. In order to get your children removed from your care, you have to be doing a horrible job or simply are unfit to care for your children. Hate to break it to ya, but children are not your personal property and majority of people are not great parents. Courts have left children in abusive and unfit homes in order to keep families together, and yet these people are so horrible they still get their kids taken away. You act as if social workers just knock doors and take what kids they want.
The Kathy Hobbs case was never mentioned on The New Detectives-Blood Lust although they did mention Michael Lee Lockhart. He was sentenced to death for the rapes and murders of Windy Gallagher (16 from Indiana) and Jennifer Colhouer (14 from Florida) along with the shooting death of police officer Paul Hulsey (29 of Texas) and was executed on December 9, 1997. Lockhart did confess to the Hobbs murder prior to his execution. The call to Vegas police was made a week after the October 13 killing of Windy Gallagher. I’m convinced that Lockhart was the one who made the call, in an attempt to throw police off his trail
I definitely get that as well!...& Whenever I see a post on site's like Reddit (regarding UM cases) I'll occasionally see a comment about how a victim either disappeared or was murdered *When they give their theory & go into detail about what could have happened* (I sometimes get that feeling like wow, for all I know, this could possibly be the person who did it)
The only guy involved in the kidnapping and murder of Kathy Hobbs was Lockhart and I’m convinced that he was the one who made the call on the 24th of October (a week after the October 13 killing of Windy Gallagher [16] in Indiana)
I'm really glad there was justice for both Kathy & Angelo...I just can't wrap my around why these creeps who do this would do this to these poor innocent ppl & the other victims
I cried through the whole part about the six siblings and I still can't calm down. Just showing up at a kids birthday party and tearing a family apart so thouroughly, without even giving the children or parents any chance to even say goodbye? That's cruelty. And tbh it sounds like those CPS people just got told "Oh, the four youngest kids are being neglected." and then showed up at the house and just took them, without ever speaking to the parents or really checking those claims of neglect. Just cause a family falls on hard times, doesn't mean the children are being cruelly neglected or the parents unfit to care for them. It was the Great Depression for fucks sake, damn near everyone was struggling to make ends meet, but tearing children away from their loving families is not the solution. I'm just really emotional and upset right now. It's great that the siblings managed to reunite eventually, but I just feel like they probably never should have been seperated in the first place.
It's crazy how this little girl knew she was going to die and that she wouldn't live to be 16 yrs old and got so happy when she did this is unimaginable how horrified she must have been in the days before her birthday with those thoughts going thru her mind
Once again..I laugh at that camera, I had one when in my 20's, sooooo ooh long ago. Now most of those are museum pieces. "You mean one picture that you could not upgrade yourself".
One of the most chilling unsolved case of a burning car is abducted from her home & missing Mom & Wife Ailene Conway .. Aileen's burned body was found inside in burned car on the side of the road not far from her home..Her husband has passed away never knowing what happened to her..
Now I see why my parents are so strict I had to be in the house at 9 at 16 lol I hated it. I would never be able to walk to a store at 11pm. Such a sad story for Kathy to have a feeling that you won't make it to see an adult
@@starquant who let's their kid walk anywhere alone at 11 pm? Who in the hell let's their kid walk alone in Las Vegas at 11 pm? Sorry but imbecile is thee only word for the level of stupid involved in letting her walk alone at that time ANYWHERE in the world.....
@@starquant Maybe if you watched the video you would see that my comment's were actual general questions directed towards the mother's behaviour. Comprehension..... Where in there did I state you said anything about kids. And you wonder why the world is the way it is........
"Well meaning social workers" - social workers are some of the worst people I've ever met. They are dismissive, racist, very uptight and extremely xenophobic. I have never had a brush with them but I work closely with social workers and I am very aware of the way they do their job. Maybe there really are well meaning and honest people out there who genuinely wish to help but I have never met one. A colleague of mine got his name dragged through the mud by social workers who took away his children because he's a single father and "men can't take care of children".
I agree with you my youngest daughter lost her kid do to a social worker and a corrupt system they are organized crime syndicate who kidnap kids from families. That's what they are, they'll pay some day they will not get away with it. God will see to that. vengeance is Mine I will repay saith the Lord.
The children should always have the names of their bio parents kept for them when taken from their parents. Unless they were taken for abuse, then not given until they are 25.
Words with "phobic" and "ist" in them are so grossly misused and overused today that such an opinion can not be taken on face value. The situation that you mentioned about the dad, IF it happened for that reason specifically, is definitely sexist. But I'm not getting the racist/xenophobic angle of it. If your default reason for something not going your way is racism or some version of a phobia (ie an irrational fear) with no actual proof that it is the case, then you're incapable of being objective. This is just a general statement, since I don't know the details of what you're talking about. Too many in our society see racism around every corner when there's actually no evidence of it whatsoever. Unfortunately, I automatically roll my eyes these days when I hear these overly politicized words and phrases that rarely are based in reality and have very little to do with the literal meaning of the word attached to it. Nevertheless, the story about the siblings being taken away like that is just evil. Though the system today is far from perfect, it's nowhere near as bad as it was before the 1960's.
He may have been cleaner than you think. It is suspected other cops were behind his death. It sounds like he may not have been willing to “play the game” or turn a blind eye to stuff he became aware of.
@@CiscoDuck Stack stated that Desidari was a devout catholic who once studied for the priesthood. How in the hell did you arrive at that wild conclusion that he was a pedophile?? Robbery seems to be the most plausible motive.
Catherine Kuntz is the name of the woman with the fingerprints on Lesters car, saw this on the Unsolved Mysteries Fandom Wiki page. Michael Lockhart confessed to the murder of Kathy, executed in 1997. I always like it when they have to reunion stories, it's good to have some feel good moments amongst all the deaths.
The amount of girls and women who are taken, abused, raped and murdered is simply appalling. Females are not safe. Genius men are victims too as well as boys which is tragic and terrible but my point is the sheer number of women and girls are victimized is just staggering compared to anything else. Its horrifying and disgusting that some men think that they can just steal and possess a human being for their own disgusting pleasures and reasons.
FunkYeah I was making a joke about what billy sims shouted during Sam Bradfords heisman trophy award. You see, both players won the heisman, and Both went to Oklahoma where their war cry is “boomer sooner”
Child services, kidnapping children legally for decades. Imagine being the parents and you come home to most of your children gone, taken away with no explanation, you don't know who, all you know is what your eldest kids can tell you. That has to be horrifying! Imagine going out of your mind looking for them! I'd be furious at my neighbors for butting into my business and having my kids stolen out of the house in a very underhanded manner!

Thank you, I am watching tv with other people in my neighborhood. I was talking to them. Law enforcement vehicles and technology, has changed a lot since the 80s.
The call about Kathy's abduction is pretty chilling. He obviously knew how she was dressed, so was he a part of the abduction/murder or just a simple eyewitness? We'll never know.
It could have been a fake some false lead or MICHAEL LOCKHART her murderer they obviously know it was Micheal Lee Lockhart ..He murdered 2 other teen girl's Windy Gallagher in IN & Jennifer Colhouer in FL he most likely repeated a certain MO with how he murdered all 3 girl's..
More than likely the caller was Lockhart himself, trying to throw the authorities by telling them there were two abductors. The license number he gave didn't exist
@@lorileew2337 Plus he also killed a Texas police officer Paul Hulsey (which led to his capture). At the time of his arrest, they found several hotel and restaurant receipts 🧾 in the motel room (Where officer Hulsey was attacked).
@@INDLIS You're right ...I forgot about him murdering Officer Hulsey.. Detective's suspect him of other murders that are unsolved & one's where the girl is still missing..He murdered in 3 States that we know of & most likely murdered Kathy Hobbs in NV making it 4 States.. There's a True Crime book about Michael Lee Lockhart and his victim's titled Perfect Gentleman written by Jaye Slade Fletcher..I just read that his idol was none other than Ted Bundy he most likely murdered more girls than Jennifer Kolhouer and Wendy Gallagher..I just read that his idol was none other than Ted Bundy ..
dam nosey neighbors should mind their own bussiness. same goes for the social workers spliting up a family like that is cruel. with out even telling the parents.
If kids aren't being taken care of it is their business. Shut the fuck up and learn to spell correctly dumbass. I'm a social worker and I'm gonna find out if you have kids and fabricate a reason to take them.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Since the children weren't being neglected and there was no sign of abuse, especially during the Great Depression, the neighbors could have just stopped by and checked on them instead of ruining happy lives.
Young Vice cop , Corvette with car phone , supported parents and bought them a house. Was a smooth talking ladies man. All are very expensive......dude sounds sketchy to me. He was dirty or was in major dept over his head or maybe Vice cops make a very good salary?
the family reunion story makes me angry. The social workers just decided this is the best for the children and tore the family apart. Who do they think they are? saviors?
Thanks For Another Great Episode Of Unsolved Mysteries With Robert Stack It's Back Kathy Hobbs Case Was Truly Sad She Had A Fear Of Not Living To Be An Adult But She Made 16 Years Old When She Disappeared While Walking To The Store At Night Why Was She Allowed To Go To The Store It's Really Dangerous And Scary For A Teenager I Wasn't Even Allowed To Go Out Especially At Night After 11:00p.m. I Felt Sorry For Kathy's Mom I'm Glad They Apprehended This Evil Monster And Is Rotting In HELL👿😡 R.I.P. KATHY HOBBS☝️😇💜
Imagine how awesome the freedom and trust between mom and daughter that walking down to purchase a new book at the convience store near by was just like leaving the bed room and going down stairs to get something out of the fridge. My parents wouldn't permit that bc i wasn't that disciplined but this daughter was unique and special. Another weird angle this story mentioned but didn't dig into was the daughter having fatal premonition and making it to age 16 was dreaded in a way that depressed her. Isn't that dreadful for a young person to worry about, it feels chilling. Lastly, the LT. can go cautiously fuck himself with his in approximate victim blaming concerns, to want to drag a person down to witness a trauma is what any extremism would do who feels out of control. No matter how much love, smarts or protection, things happen and ones life events aren't predictive to another's despite similarities, so it's not a punishment. That's again blaming the victim and disrespectful.
I agree with your assessment of the Lt.'s words and actions. My husband is a police detective and he would never victim shame anyone. The idea of exposing someone to a disgusting crime scene, as an example, is not only cruel to the victim and family but emotionally abusive to the person being shown something horrific with the intent of traumatizing them into submission. R.I.P. Miss Kathy, you seemed so sweet and loving. I'm positive your mom loves you and will see you again in heaven.🙏

At least now many of them have updates, I remember back in the 90s it was very rare to have them and usually they weren't attached to the actual episode, you had to wait for a different one that included it.
They updated them constantly. They're updating them on their other channel
I am 36 and literally crying my eyes out because of the Bill story, being taken away on a birthday, so sad
Kathy Hobbs case was so sad. Rough childhood with divorced parents, then just starts to come out of her shell and gets murdered :(
Totally true, what a heartbreaking case. The poor girl just wanted to buy a new book and bam, an opportunistic monster took her life away. It's just incredibly sad.
I think that Kathy should have either had someone go to the store with her or wait until the next day to go to the store.
@@donaldpalmer6625 Of course now that we know what happened to her we all wish she would have done exactly as you said Don, sadly she trusted the neighborhood enough to go on her own. I think we were all guilty of this at some point, going at the convenience store on our own without thinking of the potential danger watching us. Opportunistic robbers or killers can struck anyone at any time, and we rarely think that these attacks can happen to us. Poor Kathy. 😔
She's someone from the show I think about sometimes. Such a short life full of heartache. You just feel so bad for her. I hope her mother and sister are okay.
Donald Palmer hindsight is 20/20
I used to watch this show with my grandparents when I was young. So glad to find it again.:)
I too used to watch this with my grandparents. My grandma was a big fan of Robert Stack. I very much miss my now late Grandparents and the sadly late brilliant Robert Stack. They were all brilliant people.
@@memorialled_zeppelin-warew1346 me too!😎
I feel bad for Bill being excited that he thought he was going on a trip for his birthday and then realising he was being taken from his family.
@rocky mountain lass they allow abusive parents to keep their kids,but remove kids from loving,stable homes.
i find those social workers back in those days were doing the most, and why was it so easy for them to just take the kids from their parents. those social workers did way more harm than good. look how much families they have split apart smh
Man wtf was that social service back in the day not having connection at all with parents or relatives wtf?
They should have been honest
@@angelfearon1306 And not a thing has changed
The one about the social worker happened to my father too and he never found his sister. I told him to go on this show, but he was to private. Well, he's no longer here, God rest his soul.
Maybe ancestry.com? I've heard of people finding relatives through there. And my condolences.
CEDL4072 I second that.
I’m so sorry about that 😢😭
Social workers should actually do something to inform. They don't help, just separate. All the good well-meaning neighbours, do any good for themselves?
Or 23 and me. Connected directly through DNA if the other party has also used it.
My dad's name was Bill Purintun. A few years before this aired we got a call one night from another Bill Purintun. Remember, this was probably 1986-1989, way before Google and cell phones. The Bill Purintun on the other line asked my dad about his family and if he knew anything that could help find his siblings. Unfortunately, we didn't. Years later we saw this segment and were so thrilled they were reunited!
Were related Wanda Harrington is my Great Grandmother
This is an example of why I like reading the comments in Unsolved Mysteries here on YT.
I'm so happy the siblings found each other.
When the siblings got to see each other again I got emotional. You could tell how excited they were to see each other again, and I couldn't imagine not getting to see my siblings for almost 40 years
The story about the soldier Phillip and the little girl Regenia made me cry happy tears ❤ what an absolutely beautiful story. I feel honored to hear this story ❤
Poor Kathy .. such a tragic case … I hope her mother finds peace
Can you imagine how the parents felt when they came home and found that their kids gone. How different things where back then.
Holy cow, as someone who also grew up with premonitions/fear that I'd die by a certain age, Kathy's story hit hard. I hope she rests in peace and i hope her family and friends found peace as well
The original Robert Stack's Unsolved Mysteries are the best of the series.

Damn. Social services hasn't changed destroying families. These poor orphan kids were looked over like cattle.
The reunion of the brothers and sisters was the happiest one I recall as it should be. I'm glad for them.
I really felt compassion for Cathy Hobbes' mother, she seemed like a sweet lady. Can't even imagine losing a child to violence
Kathy Hobbs
@@sundance81677 my bad
I drive to that intersection of Maryland parkway and desert inn it gives me chills this could’ve happened to someone there it’s so sad.
The lost & found family stories get me every time. 😭
Kathy's story hit a nerve with me. About 3 or 4 years ago I was walking home. I was only a few feet from my house, literally right around the corner. At the end of the street I was walking, a car sat at the stop sign. I didn't think anything about it as there were houses all around. I assumed they were waiting for someone to come out or something. As I got closer, I noticed the passenger was just standing on the driver's side, staring off into space. I felt uneasy with the scene and made an effort to veer off on the other side of the street. I didn't want to walk right by the car. I had headphones in but my music was low. I kept my cool but felt the presence of someone behind me. In a matter of seconds, I seen my neighbor come out of his house to toss his trash and heard a car door slam and tires screeching. I think if my neighbor hadn't come out, I would've been grabbed and forced into that car. I never reported it because it happened so fast. I wouldn't have been able to provide more details. It was immensely scary and I'm so thankful my neighbor came out when he did
Unsolved Mysteries has got me crapping my pants one second and tearing up the next. Such a Rollercoaster lol.
POOR KATHY AND HER MOM ; [
yes horrible
Kudos to her mom for telling the audience she was so close to her father. No childish mudslinging, rarely see that.
Uncas Unga
What?! Kudos to the mother who let her child walk to a store after 11:00 pm so that she could be murdered? Wow!! I hope you don’t have children!!
Gotta be honest; Kathy's murder almost seems like a self-fulfilled prophesy. Why would she go out in the middle of the night to buy a book when she could have done so the next day? Very unusual for someone who already had a fear of dying young.
@@MyKali2009 what about the families of the other 2 girls who were murdered in their own homes? They should’ve known never open the door to strangers
I can get over how much the reunited brothers and sisters look alike, even their teeth!! Glad they finally found Jackie as well.
I remember watching Bill Harrington's story when it first came out as a kid. As an adult, what type of lawsuit could that family have against the state? The state just came and took the kids away based off of a phone call. There was no investigation or anything.
Sadly there is little recourse even today. CPS answers to nobody and that's a serious problem. Not much has changed since 1935.
Says who? If you have this file, please share cause I guarantee you that not a single child has been removed from a home based on a phone call. Perhaps the father admitted he couldn't care for the kids and did a voluntary surrender? He sure didn't try to fight or appear at the court hearings.
People are such idiots, especially of the true crime variety. CPS and social workers does not "tear families apart". They have no authority. It's called "family courts".
99% of all child abused, molested and trafficked are by their family members and or friends of the family.
In fact family courts fight so hard to keep families together, they almost always keep children in abusive situations far too long before removing them.
In order to get your children removed from your care, you have to be doing a horrible job or simply are unfit to care for your children. Hate to break it to ya, but children are not your personal property and majority of people are not great parents.
Courts have left children in abusive and unfit homes in order to keep families together, and yet these people are so horrible they still get their kids taken away. You act as if social workers just knock doors and take what kids they want.
That’s my father favorite car. Chevrolet Corvette. My father passed away on April 19, 2016 before my birthday!
Good bless your father.
The Kathy Hobbs case was never mentioned on The New Detectives-Blood Lust although they did mention Michael Lee Lockhart. He was sentenced to death for the rapes and murders of Windy Gallagher (16 from Indiana) and Jennifer Colhouer (14 from Florida) along with the shooting death of police officer Paul Hulsey (29 of Texas) and was executed on December 9, 1997. Lockhart did confess to the Hobbs murder prior to his execution. The call to Vegas police was made a week after the October 13 killing of Windy Gallagher. I’m convinced that Lockhart was the one who made the call, in an attempt to throw police off his trail
Cant watch this show alone at night without my doggy next to me haha.
The update of the story of Phillip Pelletier was very heart touching.
The anonymous caller was probably one of the people who abducted her & they're just messing with police
I definitely get that as well!...& Whenever I see a post on site's like Reddit (regarding UM cases) I'll occasionally see a comment about how a victim either disappeared or was murdered *When they give their theory & go into detail about what could have happened* (I sometimes get that feeling like wow, for all I know, this could possibly be the person who did it)
The only guy involved in the kidnapping and murder of Kathy Hobbs was Lockhart and I’m convinced that he was the one who made the call on the 24th of October (a week after the October 13 killing of Windy Gallagher [16] in Indiana)
This show can make you depressed.
So true
Or flat out scare the s**t out of you as well
I'm really glad there was justice for both Kathy & Angelo...I just can't wrap my around why these creeps who do this would do this to these poor innocent ppl & the other victims
I cried through the whole part about the six siblings and I still can't calm down.
Just showing up at a kids birthday party and tearing a family apart so thouroughly, without even giving the children or parents any chance to even say goodbye? That's cruelty.
And tbh it sounds like those CPS people just got told "Oh, the four youngest kids are being neglected." and then showed up at the house and just took them, without ever speaking to the parents or really checking those claims of neglect.
Just cause a family falls on hard times, doesn't mean the children are being cruelly neglected or the parents unfit to care for them. It was the Great Depression for fucks sake, damn near everyone was struggling to make ends meet, but tearing children away from their loving families is not the solution.
I'm just really emotional and upset right now. It's great that the siblings managed to reunite eventually, but I just feel like they probably never should have been seperated in the first place.
It's crazy how this little girl knew she was going to die and that she wouldn't live to be 16 yrs old and got so happy when she did this is unimaginable how horrified she must have been in the days before her birthday with those thoughts going thru her mind
maybe she didn`t know, maybe the mother made up the story because she had killed her. I don`t believe the mothers story.
Love the late 80s video fx! Oh my does this bring me back. Oh how I loved to watch Unsolved Mysteries, only with Robert Stack of course.
I wish someone would go through all the episodes and put together all the solved cases and updates with info from now too! Would be amazing
Omg I was thinking the same thing.. or lump the subjects together like unexplained deaths, missing, lost loves all with their own episode
There is an unsolved mysterious wiki that should have some info
It’s wonderful for the Harrington family to be reunited all these years
That intro is amazing and always gives me the goosebumps
Once again..I laugh at that camera, I had one when in my 20's, sooooo ooh long ago. Now most of those are museum pieces. "You mean one picture that you could not upgrade yourself".
Another depressing episode, but I'll be watching the next one soon.
Merry Christmas unsolved mysteries 💙💜💯 they need to put unsolved mysteries back on cable.
We force both parents to work to make ends meet then steal their kids away when they are working. It's probably worse now than it was back then.
Thank God, I didn't need glasses until the mid 90's, glasses in the early 80's made folks look like they were bumble bees. Hahahahaha.
Kathys poor mom will firever blame herself for letting her daughter go to the store alone late at night...and in vegas of all places.
I didn’t watch this to solve a mystery I watched this to keep myself aware
I remember watching this episode when I was like 6 years old I was scared shitless
Lots of burning car mysteries on this show.....
That how you get rid of evidence
Unsolved, at that.
One of the most chilling unsolved case of a burning car is abducted from her home & missing Mom & Wife Ailene Conway .. Aileen's burned body was found inside in burned car on the side of the road not far from her home..Her husband has passed away never knowing what happened to her..
Thank you for the video.
The reunion ones always make me cry.
Now I see why my parents are so strict I had to be in the house at 9 at 16 lol I hated it. I would never be able to walk to a store at 11pm. Such a sad story for Kathy to have a feeling that you won't make it to see an adult

"Well meaning social workers" - social workers are some of the worst people I've ever met. They are dismissive, racist, very uptight and extremely xenophobic. I have never had a brush with them but I work closely with social workers and I am very aware of the way they do their job. Maybe there really are well meaning and honest people out there who genuinely wish to help but I have never met one. A colleague of mine got his name dragged through the mud by social workers who took away his children because he's a single father and "men can't take care of children".
"Men can't take care of children" ???
I bet a majority of dads would say "no way are you walking around in a crappy part of Vegas after dark!"
I agree with you my youngest daughter lost her kid do to a social worker and a corrupt system they are organized crime syndicate who kidnap kids from families. That's what they are, they'll pay some day they will not get away with it. God will see to that. vengeance is Mine I will repay saith the Lord.
It doesn't seem like all of the fatherless households are doing so well these social workers who hate men are lazy in their beliefs.
The children should always have the names of their bio parents kept for them when taken from their parents. Unless they were taken for abuse, then not given until they are 25.
Words with "phobic" and "ist" in them are so grossly misused and overused today that such an opinion can not be taken on face value. The situation that you mentioned about the dad, IF it happened for that reason specifically, is definitely sexist. But I'm not getting the racist/xenophobic angle of it. If your default reason for something not going your way is racism or some version of a phobia (ie an irrational fear) with no actual proof that it is the case, then you're incapable of being objective. This is just a general statement, since I don't know the details of what you're talking about. Too many in our society see racism around every corner when there's actually no evidence of it whatsoever. Unfortunately, I automatically roll my eyes these days when I hear these overly politicized words and phrases that rarely are based in reality and have very little to do with the literal meaning of the word attached to it. Nevertheless, the story about the siblings being taken away like that is just evil. Though the system today is far from perfect, it's nowhere near as bad as it was before the 1960's.
Sorry, but there's no way I'm buying that this vice cop was as squeaky clean as they'd have me believe.
He may have been cleaner than you think. It is suspected other cops were behind his death. It sounds like he may not have been willing to “play the game” or turn a blind eye to stuff he became aware of.
The cop was in a dangerous profession and likely set up. Also, sad to see anti-catholic bigotry is alive and well.
@@CiscoDuck Stack stated that Desidari was a devout catholic who once studied for the priesthood. How in the hell did you arrive at that wild conclusion that he was a pedophile?? Robbery seems to be the most plausible motive.
Catherine Kuntz is the name of the woman with the fingerprints on Lesters car, saw this on the Unsolved Mysteries Fandom Wiki page.
Michael Lockhart confessed to the murder of Kathy, executed in 1997.
I always like it when they have to reunion stories, it's good to have some feel good moments amongst all the deaths.
I went to junior college with Lester. Nice fella, loved a game of cribbage and a pint of beer.
The amount of girls and women who are taken, abused, raped and murdered is simply appalling. Females are not safe. Genius men are victims too as well as boys which is tragic and terrible but my point is the sheer number of women and girls are victimized is just staggering compared to anything else. Its horrifying and disgusting that some men think that they can just steal and possess a human being for their own disgusting pleasures and reasons.
I agree. There is practically a war against women by some males.

Child services, kidnapping children legally for decades.
Imagine being the parents and you come home to most of your children gone, taken away with no explanation, you don't know who, all you know is what your eldest kids can tell you. That has to be horrifying! Imagine going out of your mind looking for them! I'd be furious at my neighbors for butting into my business and having my kids stolen out of the house in a very underhanded manner!

Thank you, I am watching tv with other people in my neighborhood. I was talking to them. Law enforcement vehicles and technology, has changed a lot since the 80s.
The murder stories are so sad, most especially the ones involving young people. And the abductions bum me out
I remember watching this episode when I was like 6 years old
The call about Kathy's abduction is pretty chilling. He obviously knew how she was dressed, so was he a part of the abduction/murder or just a simple eyewitness? We'll never know.
According to the UM wiki, her murder has been solved. She was killed by a serial killer named Michael Lockhart.
It could have been a fake some false lead or MICHAEL LOCKHART her murderer they obviously know it was Micheal Lee Lockhart ..He murdered 2 other teen girl's Windy Gallagher in IN & Jennifer Colhouer in FL he most likely repeated a certain MO with how he murdered all 3 girl's..
More than likely the caller was Lockhart himself, trying to throw the authorities by telling them there were two abductors. The license number he gave didn't exist
@@lorileew2337 Plus he also killed a Texas police officer Paul Hulsey (which led to his capture). At the time of his arrest, they found several hotel and restaurant receipts 🧾 in the motel room (Where officer Hulsey was attacked).
@@INDLIS You're right ...I forgot about him murdering Officer Hulsey.. Detective's suspect him of other murders that are unsolved & one's where the girl is still missing..He murdered in 3 States that we know of & most likely murdered Kathy Hobbs in NV making it 4 States.. There's a True Crime book about Michael Lee Lockhart and his victim's titled Perfect Gentleman written by Jaye Slade Fletcher..I just read that his idol was none other than Ted Bundy he most likely murdered more girls than Jennifer Kolhouer and Wendy Gallagher..I just read that his idol was none other than Ted Bundy ..
OK, I've solved Lester's case. "DIRTY COPS." That's as far as I've gotten, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.

Thanks For Another Great Episode Of Unsolved Mysteries With Robert Stack It's Back Kathy Hobbs Case Was Truly Sad She Had A Fear Of Not Living To Be An Adult But She Made 16 Years Old When She Disappeared While Walking To The Store At Night Why Was She Allowed To Go To The Store It's Really Dangerous And Scary For A Teenager I Wasn't Even Allowed To Go Out Especially At Night After 11:00p.m. I Felt Sorry For Kathy's Mom I'm Glad They Apprehended This Evil Monster And Is Rotting In HELL👿😡 R.I.P. KATHY HOBBS☝️😇💜
Stop capitalizing the first letter of every word you type. It's annoying, and unnecessary.
Imagine how awesome the freedom and trust between mom and daughter that walking down to purchase a new book at the convience store near by was just like leaving the bed room and going down stairs to get something out of the fridge. My parents wouldn't permit that bc i wasn't that disciplined but this daughter was unique and special. Another weird angle this story mentioned but didn't dig into was the daughter having fatal premonition and making it to age 16 was dreaded in a way that depressed her. Isn't that dreadful for a young person to worry about, it feels chilling.
Lastly, the LT. can go cautiously fuck himself with his in approximate victim blaming concerns, to want to drag a person down to witness a trauma is what any extremism would do who feels out of control. No matter how much love, smarts or protection, things happen and ones life events aren't predictive to another's despite similarities, so it's not a punishment. That's again blaming the victim and disrespectful.
I agree with your assessment of the Lt.'s words and actions. My husband is a police detective and he would never victim shame anyone. The idea of exposing someone to a disgusting crime scene, as an example, is not only cruel to the victim and family but emotionally abusive to the person being shown something horrific with the intent of traumatizing them into submission. R.I.P. Miss Kathy, you seemed so sweet and loving. I'm positive your mom loves you and will see you again in heaven.🙏
I remember watching this episode as a kid.
Back when the only way to call for help was to drive to a payphone.
Lying to children in that fashion should be considered kidnapping.
