Kudos to Colonel Robert Shelton for being incorrigible and his loving wife who never gave up❣️ To all the POWs and all our Vets God bless you and thank you❣️
That's why I still see the black and white MIA flags flying, just beneath thr 50 stars & stripes...
I watched UM w/Robert Stack religiously when I was a teenager his voice was magnetic and I loved trying to help solve mysteries 💕💕💕 RIP Robert Stack, Charles & Marian Shelton😢💙
Classy Sarah Robert Stack was handsome wasn’t he??????!!!!!
Yaaassssss with a mysteriously dark vibe about him💖💫
Thanks for bringing back Robert Stack's series. His unforgettable charisma and voice is a breath of fresh air.
He has the voice of a '50s guy.
We need to send in RAMBO...
Fresh air? It’s creepy as fuck.
Untouchable
@@CANControlGRAFFITI agreed! When I was a kid my bedroom was right by our living room and my dad loved watching Unsolved Mysteries. I would be laying in bed hearing Robert Stacks voice and be scared half to death. I would go to bed early on the night it was on so I was asleep before that creepy voice came on.
Who else wants to see updates on the stories, if possible?
Independent Together ones that weren't updated at the time the episodes aired? Yeah, what do ya got?
I don’t
bauTom then don't!😝
Unsolved Mysteries Wiki is your friend
alecboyyes and there's a way to connect with that without interrupting my UM streaming marathon?!
My heart breaks with a teary eye for Marion Shelton. The government spat on the POW's and left them behind. The government should not be allowed to let families go through such a thing and tell the truth and information not be withheld. These men fought for this country and they abandoned them. I AM ashamed!
Is every colored a criminal
Exactly!
I have the utmost admiration and respect for Marion Shelton.
I certainly feel for the family but the pilot POW may have known if he was taken prisoner the US gov will deny he exists or were working controlling him. Thats why he had that stripped down uniform for tge flight. And really you can be shot for fighting out of your uniform or with a different countries uniform.
They murdered her too
The Shelton story pissed me off. You have Americans that volunteered to fight for their country but were deemed expendable by their government and abandoned. Our government owes it to their families to tell them the truth about what happened to their loved ones and bring them back from the battlefield. I hope Charles Shelton's alive
I do too. but sadly his fate may never be known
@@dancastro4732 - Why can't this be sent to President Trump? As President he (and past presidents too) has access to the records that exists. What happened to this family (and others) is an utter TRAVESTY. I can feel the love they had for each other. I am so sad.
We should pass this along to our friends, families etc. We can make this a trending topic.
Agreed. I wonder why Obama didn't do anything about this when he visited Laos
I'm not up on this, but the possible reality is that they were not supposed to be there. Someone once said something to this effect: 'America educates itself on geography by getting into wars'.
This is the original quote as far as I know:
'God created war so that Americans would learn geography.' Mark Twain.
Marian & Charles Shelton are both American heroes and their government abandoned them. Like they did with so many others. Disgusting.
" I prepared myself as did my husband for him to be wounded, captured or killed but we were never prepared for him to be abandoned by his own country." ~ Marian Shelton
RIP Marian Shelton. The U.S. Govt is messed up. That was so sad.
Far as I am concerned the US Govt is responsible for her death. They are rotten scum.
They were never going to go on public record admitting to leaving our POW's behind.
Shelton was likely killed by the communists and buried in Laos
This is why I would never fight for any country, Because they sure aint gonna fight for me, sometimes I get fed up with all this Patriotism cr*p. By the way they made an xfiles episode on this case, its called ''Unrequited''
Especially nixon,,, would of just flew two b-52 bombers over that communist country with a couple of 15kt,, instead of sending thousand and thousand of men and artillery and na bomb..
The Shelton family seems so strong and so intelligent yet gentle. I wish they had been given back their Father.
not only that but the children looked so much like their father and mother, their one son looked just like his father. I even noticed that the wife looked a lot like the husband that was being held.
He was likely killed by the communists and buried in Laos
@Bobby Lawson he was sent to Hanoi because after killing his captors during interrogation the Pathet Lao and PAVN deemed him incorrorigible
I am friends with 3/5 of his and Marion's children on Facebook. Very nice people and I have told them their dad is one of the reasons I enlisted in the Army in 1995 and the other reason is because I love this country
His remains have never been found or recovered to this day. Fair to say he's still a POW in Laos. Supposedly he was buried near the cave he was held in alongside another POW named David Hrdlicka who was held with Shelton in the same cave in Ban Nakay Teu which is near the Vietnam border and in 1992 the Joint Task Force Full Accounting team consisting of Laotians and Americans visited the cave he and Hrdlicka were held in and there was a bomb crater near the cave and talked to witnesses and former captors who saw their alleged burials and were permitted to excavate for Shelton's and Hrdlicka's remains but guess what? No remains were found at all. Their former captors and villagers in the area said Shelton's and Hrdlicka's grave were destroyed by bombing. Weird how one bomb can destroy one grave site isn't it? Either it's true their grave site was destroyed and their bones are now animal food or they were still alive but now most likely dead. Now the Pathet Lao caves are now a tourist attraction but the cave Shelton and Hrdlicka were held in is still off limits
What incredible loyalty Marion Shelton showed towards her husband to crusade for him for so long. Her death was a real bummer.
She didn't just represent him either. She was the spokesperson for ALL the families the government abandoned.
Marian searched for twenty-five years for information about her husband until she committed suicide on October 4, 1990 by shooting herself in the head. Their children are now searching for information about their missing father. unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Charles_Shelton
Much respect for Marion - what a horrible situation

There were many servicemen taken prisoner in Vietnam and never reported POW by the North Vietnamese.
David Hrdlicka being one of them Chump Johnson. Hrdlicka and Shelton were held prisoner in the same cave. Speaking of David Hrdlicka he wrote a letter to Prince Souphanouvong the leader of the Pathet Lao begging and pleading to be released a year after he was captured and his voice was heard on Pathet Lao radio too with him reading the letter he wrote so he could be re united with his wife and kids
Dan Castro
It’s disgusting that our government left them behind
I agree
@@dancastro4732 I totally agree
data went through all that...thos inbreeds will lie to you for money
I was so scared of this when I was a kid.. The music and his voice omg😬😬
That's the only reason I'm watching it now. I can't remember any of the content, it's just, like you say, the music and the voice of Robert. In fact, there were some episodes, earlier on, that weren't hosted by Robert Stack, and I couldn't watch them!
Me too! I always thought my mom was being kidnapped at gunpoint, or being killed everytime I heard the intro music. I would worry she would never come get me from ny grandmas house again.
@@laurenmorgan3939 awww😢 😂 yes this definitely made me paranoid of certain things happening as a kid afraid of just about everything. I lived with my granny when watching this show back in the day so she was right there but I was still scared lol but thankfully now all these years later I can actually sit and enjoy the stories
I'm so impressed with Marion's strength and tenacity. What a strong person!
Till this day this theme song gives me the chills .. Robert Stack will forever be a legend
Right! It use to scare me as a child
I have a friend who fled Vietnam in the 80's and said they always knew growing up there were POW's still there in the 80's. He never saw any but knew there were many a few hours away from his town. I hate that we ever went there. What was the point? It did nothing but cause death and Insanity. May his wife rest well. Poor woman.
"Till Valhalla" !!
Those of you wondering why Shelton was in that pit is because it was his punishment for his numerous attempts to escape like when he killed his 3 PAVN captors during interrogation. That is severe torture he endured. Being kept in a pit 24/7 with three guards watching over you and poking at you nonstop to ensure you stay awake. That must have given his son John nightmares when he had to film that scene and he did only one take because it really upset him plus when he did the scene when his dad killed the PAVN guards during interrogation it must've been emotionally draining. No doubt he cried after doing those scenes when filming this episode.
His Dad played him in this show?! I hadn't realised that.
No lynncrf. Charles Shelton's son John played the part of his father. I am friends with the Shelton children. Very nice people too
@@dancastro4732 Thanks for sharing this information. I will have to relpay those scenes. His family loved him very much. It must have been his love for them that he fought so hard to stay alive and escape so many times.
@@NeiveVeve You're welcome. It was so painful sharing this info because I am friends with his children and learning about him from them as well
@@NeiveVeve Correct. Code of Conduct states you have to resist your captors no matter what and try to escape captivity by all means possible. I never have been to war but I am a former soldier U.S. Army 1995-98 and learned this during basic training and the Code Of Conduct is the military bible
Finally they got the series with Robert Stack
Right! I don’t have anything against Dennis Farina but damn it, UM isn’t UM without Stack and the famous music. The new version is just a watered down, modernized piece of shite.
@@mjallen1308 isnt farina a type of pasta?
I refused 2 watch this without Robert Stack. Without him this show is worthless. Grew up as a 90s kid, and nothing could replace this man or his voice either.
Man thank the Lord I finally found that I haven't seen in a while I remember back in 80s and 90 when it used to come on on Wednesday nights
That is true love for that lady to go all the way to Vietnam to seek her love😥
She also went to Laos and Cambodia
This one broke my heart.
Why do u use that gross pic
@@LindsayWare-vb5py you mean the frog with the gun?
@@AngelaChase Mine too
My dad was against the war, but he was 18 when the Vietnam War began so he knew he'd be drafted. To avoid being in combat, he enlisted. He loaded bombs in Thailand. He never speaks of the war but it definitely changed him. He would've gone to college and become a veterinarian. He became a Veteran instead. This was a pointless war that affected generations! The Shelton family deserved more.
Please be quiet
@bethmaldonado9241 It wasn't a pointless war . Maybe it lasted longer than it should.
@@brettlinthicum6649
I hope someone send you to where Kobe Bryant is right now

@@brettlinthicum6649 why don't you!
I’m utterly *ASHAMED & EMBARRASSED* by our Government’s treatment of Servicemen and women during and especially AFTER Serving. Greatest Country in the world indeed. *>SMH Sternly
I do agree that some were not given the respect, help.or restitution they deserved when they came home..but it was the public also..not just the govt. THE PUBLIC treated them like trash. So go be utterly ashamed and embarrassed in Korea or somewhere fair so you can enjoy your life.
@amy bastian Okay, put your tinfoil hat back on
This story broke my heart into a million pieces. I can't stop watching and rewatching it. Is there nothing that can be done? At the very least these families deserve a full, detailed accounting of what happened to their loved ones, if not their remains. I cannot imagine the grief this family went through and is still going through. This is not right, not by any stretch of the imagination. If alive Col. Shelton would be 87 years old. In whatever condition, these brave men need to be brought home.
*_THAT'S_* what makes you ashamed of this *_actual shithole_* country? Our President has the temperament of a 3 year old and is pants on head stupid
@@mooknick242 The public don't decide on military means/wars and they don't decide to break rules of war as in this case. They especially don't and wouldn't have decided upon leaving the very men that went on these extra dangerous missions to be tortured and held captive for decades. Orders don 't come from the public, they come from those that are born into the upper class families. You pathetic nonsense.
The woman who played Marian did great. UM finds some of the best actors.
I agree and Charles was played by his son John/ I am friends with Charles and Marion's children. Very nice people
They should really bring back this show. It blazed a trail for similar shows, helped close cases and give closure to many who needed it. Of course won't be the same without MR stack but I would still watch.
M Austin it already has been announced they’re bringing it back.
@@AlexGarcia-mj9qn on Netflix
@@AlexGarcia-mj9qn Indeed but on a different model, " Each episode focuses on a single mystery.Made on a"pure documentary style" and would have no host or narrator".
The first story is fantastic, I so love when UM investigate mysteries related to the military. If all these stories about Charles E. Shelton are true, then what a hero and bad ass he was.
I don't buy it. Sorry, but it seems like something out of Rambo.
It's all true about Shelton Bobby Lawson
These stories are true Jonathon Turbide. He and Lance Sijan are two of my many heroes
@@dancastro4732 Thanks for sharing Dan, I believe he was indeed a true hero as well. 😊👌
You're welcome bro
What Marion had was true love. I work with seniors and see how loyal the older generation was. The newer generations have no loyalty.
You didn't see what Bob and Jani Bergdahl did for their son Bowe did you?

Charles Sheldon was the real Rambo. What a badass!!
One thing this Series shows is the Numerous Ways that we Humans can Screw Each Other Over with all sorts of Scams, Abuses and Homicides.
Yeah, But that's partly why I love it. It's a study in psychology.
It's more fascinating than actually a love for it wouldn't you say?
You are correct Dave
The goodbye scene of the Charles and Marion Shelton segment is so heart breaking!
You don't seem to understand that when your loved one is a POW and not knowing what happened to him/her can emotionally and physically kill you. Marion spent 25 years trying to bring Charles and his comrades who were known to be POWs who never released home. Look at Bowe Bergdahl's parents Bob and Jani they had no idea of knowing how he was being treated when he was a POW. I am sickened and saddened by what he went through in captivity but he went UA aka AWOL from his post and that is a serious violation of the UCMJ and thanks to him 10 soldiers died looking for him and another ended up seriously wounded and now has brain damage. I prayed for Bowe nonstop because for one thing I care and two I am a former soldier ala U.S. Army. No I didn't fight in Afghanistan or Iraq. I was in the Army 1995-98 but I have a good heart and care
Truly heart breaking.
@Jewel Clark I was wondering that. On her front porch at that...very suspicious.
♥️❤️😔😔😔😔😔😓
Move on
Many pilots who were captured who never came home were killed by irate villagers as well as the PAVN militia and soldiers. The PAVN and its militia were supposed to prevent shot down pilots from being killed and seriously hurt by the villagers. I can understand villagers being pissed off and in pain because of their friends and loved ones killed by their planes bombs
That guy that witnessed the murder had a gun and he was scared they were going to kill him ??
Right? Gun vs knife smh guess he didn't realize he had the upper hand 🤷
Pretty implausable right?
Maybe he wasn't confident in his abilities
That's the part about that story that always gets me. I can't say that I know for certain how I would react in a situation like that, but I'd like to think, and earnestly hope, that if I saw a woman about to be brutally murdered with a machete and I had a gun, I would intervene to stop it.
Well he was also committing a crime too. It took him a couple of days to finally come forward.
This episode aired on Veteran's Day of 1992. It's a day of honoring our nation's veterans.
9th June 2020.Beginning of winter in SouthAfrica.Sitting under a blanket with a cat on my lap. Binging on Unsolved Mysteries and Robert Stack. Love it!!
As a son of a POW from WWII ,I feel it is a shame that servicemen were forgotten. Even after the second war some Americans who were liberated from the camps by Russians, were sent to Russia never to return.
He was my favorite actor in THE UNTOUCHABLES.. I can watch these all day thanks for posting..now that’s what I call love. This woman could have just received her benefits and gone on with her life.. this made me cry such a sad story I was hoping she would find him and live happily ever after😞😞😞
Concerning the last case, how did they locate her about a week later when the witness gave them the location the same day as the murder!😕
Welcome to South Florida.
Because she was BLACK Duh! If she was white those cops would've been looking for the body the same day. I'm sure the witness told the operator she was black.
@@magicblack2709 Reading your comment I think has actually decreased my IQ!!! Wow.....
I thought it was because the witness didn’t call it in till a few days after until he realized he had to tell what he saw. I understood it as he was going to try and forget it but he couldnt
He didn't call the same day as the murder. The program clearly says he called several days later. That's why her body was so badly decomposed. Antonio was scared at first but his conscience prevailed and he eventually called.
This is so sad. My heart goes out to the Shelton children. Their story would make a wonderful movie.
The theme itself is so 90s...the decade of innocence and memories
Yeah why do people watch stranger things for retro effects they could just watch this. It's weird enough and based on actual events.
@R J Murder is not exclusive to the 90s.
@R J I agree with you. I guess whoever posted the comment perceived it as such. They might be too young to understand. Lot's of 20 somethings talk about the nineties like 40 something's used to talk about the 70s the good old days they did not experience themselves and romanticize.
Thats one reson I love this show. I loved the 90's.
@Scot Hammond Don't forget the Monday Night Wars!
The actress that played Marion Shelton, is beautiful.
Marion was beautiful too
Yep
She has a youtube channel.called the late bloomer and she is still stunning
Her name is kaye kitrell
@@arconeagain I don't tolerate talk like that about Marion. I happen to be friends with 4/5 of the children she and Charles had
I’m from Bristol in England and I always watch this series 🇬🇧
That's a damn shame when they want you to fight for your Country. Yet, the Country at times don't want to fight for you. ALL DUE RESPECT to those people that put their lives on the line to give us all a better life!!! 💯
The guy hiding in the sugar cane was hunting.. he had a rifle. He saw someone about to get killed. Why didn't he at least shoot over them to maybe scare them off & save her?
Scared. Had a lot to lose.
@@ernstvanstangl1048 I mean, I get it.. but gun beats knife. Also, what are the guys killing the lady going to do? Go tell on him? "Uh yeah? Police? Hi, yeah... so me & my buddy were out in this field with a couple of machetes trying to kill this chick & this asshole starts shooting above us. She got away & we feel threatened by his actions. What? No we didn't see who it was, we were too busy running away.. however we're not sure if we'll be able to take any other victims to a secluded place to kill for awhile. Yes, I'd like to file a report." Lol.. jk it's late, don't hate me, but wouldn't that be funny? You know there are criminals that dumb.
EXACTLY! WTF lol I just wrote the same thing smh makes no sense. I'm sure if they saw the gun, they would've split
He probably had a .22 caliber.
@@jbw8471 what difference does that make? It won't be as loud as a larger caliber but it would let them know someone was armed nearby. I didn't say he had to kill them, just shoot over them. I doubt he was out there hunting squirrel. Anyway if you wanted you can kill someone w/ a .22, it won't always exit, but it will go in.
Wow! So happy to see this here. Saw many years ago. This should be made into a movie as many are probably not aware of such incidents. My heart has always gone out to the Shelton Family.
The thought of those heroes being left to die alone as captive animals disgusts me!😡 My Daddy fought in Vietnam but he came home Thank God!

Life is so unfair. The story of Charles Shelton breaks my heart. What a tragic end for his poor widow, broken down by the lack of support.
That was very sad about Marion Shelton😭😂😥😪😢💔
I agree. Think of the other MIA wives like Ann Holland, Carol Hrdlicka etc
I remember watching this on Lifetime & on Wednesdays at 12pm. It's very comforting to hear his voice, and relive the 90s. I would usually watch this with my maw maw when I was sick and not at school. Im a 90s kid. Times were simple than. But the piano intro, always made me think that my mom was going 2 be kidnapped or killed before she could come get me after work. Lmao 😆.
His voice and dude from forensic files the most soothing sleeping voices EVER
Peter Thomas.
Robert Stack could make a Fisher Price commercial CREEPY!!! I LOVE it!!!!! And .....he used to give me shivers all the way up and down my spine ,and he left me craving it every week...only he could do that to me in a way where I liked it....
Could not of said that better myself i love the series he narrated ! He is truly UNTOUCHABLE !!
Any man lucky enough to find someone like Marian Shelton is the luckiest man in the world. What a brave and caring woman. God rest her, her husband, and their children.

Sadly there aren't any women like that anymore.
BS!!! we are out there! You just look past because we are normal women who don't look like a plastic barbie. @@puppiesarepower3682
Those women are long gone
This show scared the hell out of me as a kid....
that lyle moody should've never been released, his own actions show he has no regard for human life and if given the chance will kill someone, but no the courts just keep pouring these pieces of shit out on our streets when in fact they should keep them locked up forever. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to meet a criminal like this guy and see he'll never change, therefor they should've given him life. some may say that shooting at an officer shouldn't mean life for a criminal but I'm not just saying he should get that term for this incident, but for his criminal record stretching back 17yrs before this incident happened. please judicial system get these animals off of our streets so the rest of us who are grown ups and try to lead normal lives don't have to worry about being on the receiving end of one of these animals bulletts
Agree 100%
He is a crack head
MR.SHELTON. I NEVER MET HIM! I NEVER KNEW HIM! I WASN'T EVEN BORN WHEN HE WAS CAPTURED! BUT I WILL NEVER FORGET HIM AND HIS STORY! GOD BE WITH HIS FAMILY! I WILL REMEMBER YOU! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!
"He was a model prisoner..."
"We need your help in locating him."
It's been over 30 years since "Antonio" made that phone call about the murder. I wonder if he is still alive and if the case will ever be solved.
dead or old
Joint chiefs of the military break open the records and let the truth come out. As a USMC vet of the Vietnam era I want that man and his family to get the information. This man deserves being recognized and brought back to his native land.
Back in the 1980’s mathematically based on data from from reports that it was statistically less than 0.0000001% chance that we got all POWs out of Indochina. That is less than 1/10th of a millionth chance we got everyone out.
Sir yes sir!!!!
I’ve been to Vietnam. It’s a beautiful country and great people. The USA should have never been there. They had no idea what they were doing. The war was a civil war in Vietnam between two opposing factions. Robert McNamara the Secretary of Defense wrote a book about it. He admits the USA government didn’t understand it and blundered from mistake to mistake. And the USA would never win. The Vietnamese were fighting for their country and would never give up. So many lives lost and destroyed for no reason- war is always a losing proposition. Diplomacy and other efforts should always be the government policy
Regardless, they went there and people were treated like crap when they came home which was totally uncalled for.
It was all about the government's philosophy of "we got to go kill dem commies!" There was no reason for us to be there, I agree. But blame the people who sent them there, not those who were sent there. risked and ultimately gave their lives.
💯
What mistakes we made in Vietnam Why were we really there?
I always thought that the series was the best under Robert stack
Past: "wow, I'll have to wait a whole week to see the next episode"
Now: "wow, that next episode looks great time to pump out all seasons within a week"
Future: "wow, I watched a lot of youtube in 2020"
I served in ARMY and got the hell out on my own. I learned myself. My recruiter lied, the army lied to me and my brother about the buddy system that we used that they werent going to honor. And they treated like shit while in a lot of times. You would be surprised what we learned about how our military doesn't really care about its soldiers
The biggest mistake a young man can make is joining the military.
The theme song always gives me chills, but is it weird to say that even though it gives me chills it’s still such a great theme??
Iconic
Marion Shelton, what a strong 💪 woman!! So tragic that she committed suicide.
I agree. She spent 25 years trying to bring Charles and his fellow POW's home and it broke her heart. The night she died she wrote her children a letter telling them how much she loved them and did the best she could to find their father and placed Charles's POW bracelet near the letter and shortly there after she walked on the balcony of her home and killed herself. Having a loved one who is a POW or MIA and not knowing where he/she is can emotionally kill you as well as physically
I love my country, but shame on America for leaving men over there
Georgie lol over there and there and there and there and there
They need to do an episode on Richard Simmons. Where is he?
Nay Fool!
He's a Pony
Retired and resting.
The unsolved mystery of his hairdo? 🤷🏼♀️
There's a whole podcast about it
28:47 The "Police Crime Computer". Is that really what they called it? Officer Rick Foley's facial expression pretty much says it all. LOL, Just cant beat the 90's.
Operation "Homecoming" began on Feb 12 and ended on Apr 4, 1973. How come in this video they say it was Jan 19, 1973?? Nixon made his TV announcement on Jan 27, and the operation began a few weeks after that.
It was the day the Paris Peace Accords were signed
I can't believe that the witness, especially him being Armed with a gun couldn't save that woman who was murdered!
Unless, he was with the murderer, which would make him an accomplice/accessory..🤷🏽♀️
@@pinkgypsytees If that was the case then why would he call the police and report it?
@@1981lashlarue He could’ve felt guilty/remorseful/regretful…That does happen sometimes..🤔
I agree wit you on this he could have shot A warning shot in the air or something to scare those killers off
Could the missing POWS have been sent elsewhere? North Korea? Just a thought....My heart goes out to the Shelton family. Poor Marian fought so hard for the truth 😞 I can understand why the children decided to just let it go and just accept that their father was dead but who knows what really became of him.....
Yes there was rumor then of some being sent to Russia, north korea, a communist region in loas with gorillas. Never has the United States admitted for years after Nam many were alive (pows) and tortured or made to stay there.
@@lifeisamatrix5960 Interesting wow....
Soviet Union perhaps.
Shelton was sent to Hanoi because after he killed 3 of his PAVN captors during interrogation the Pathet Lao who captured him and PAVN deemed him incorrigible. Reports say he was still alive as late as 1988 and held in Haiphong
The not knowing would be the most difficult part. Our gov't definitely failed these soldiers! 😔
Man that Abq shooting reenactment was hard-core. Well-done. As good as any movie.
How sad that this happened to him and many others and to all the family's with no closure,, bless their hearts, watching this brought tears to my eyes, may the ones who passed RIP ! Thank you for posting. !
God bless Shelton's family and friends 🙏 THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE MR. SHELTON 🇺🇸
I am friends with their kids. I will forward your kind words when I talk to them again
💯
To the family loved ones of Charles Shelton, I want to say to you all that your dad was probably still alive. According to former refugees that I've talked to, he was probably among the hundreds who were shipped to Russia in the mid 70s to work at hard-labor camps deep in Ukraine somewhere since he was considered as a "valuable secretive pilots." Charles Shelton probably lived to the early 90s before his death from poor health and treatments throughout the years. We are regretted to inform you all.
@NostalgiaMan Yes
NostalgiaMan He’s saying he probably lived into the decade of the 90s, not that his age was 90 years when he died.
In the 1970s that's when Bizzy Bone was Born 1976.
Feel so sorry for the Shelton family.
As do I. I am friends with his and Marion's kids
War sucks. Too bad the families of service men and women can't accept that their loved ones are dead. It's terrible but war is sometimes necessary.
Gosh it seemed like he died trying to get back to Marion & their kids. Bless them all hope they’re together in the next realm 🧡❤
I didn't want him to kill me in the game room
Yes ..love Robert Stack my favorite actor .. my best Eliot Ness from The Untouchables !!!
Bring this show back!
Ladies, I cannot stress enough how getting involved with the "bad boy" from the block will never end well for you. Can say the same for men too but somehow women many times lack the wisdom & retrospection until its much too late. Men, take note on the flipside that many ladies cannot appreciate good men since all they've been exposed to are dirtbags from the time they're little girls. Good people (whether they're male or female) will never ask you to do craziness if they care for you. RIP Rebecca.

@@dancastro4732 It just goes to show how stupid people are in the U.S.
The story of Robert Shelton broke my heart and brought tears for all the lives who were affected by this war
This show ❤. One of many TV shows from my childhood.
Thank you kernal Shelton for your service from me and my family keeping us safe
Amen 🙏 Thank you Mr . Shelton for your service....🇺🇸
Colonel
@@shantiajones8042 I will forward your words of kindness to his children. I am friends with them
The Shelton story stood out, makes me furious! I’m so sorry you family had to go through this horrible experience. I can only imagine the level of frustration! This really how our military puts our lives on the line at their expense and they glorify to be a proud American. Learning these types of things about our military is the exact reason why I never served and glad I never did.
OMG! Marian.... so sad
The government lies so so much!!! And in these cases people go into military by choice there families have every right to know what and or were they r, and it’s there duty to protect them and bring them home at any cost!
Much respect to our military!
I cried through the majority of the Shelton segment. I can’t imagine what they all must’ve gone through. It breaks my heart, and also angers about the government not caring. Why didn’t they just try and sort something with Vietnam? I understand wanting to avoid future war but POW should be released when the war is over no matter what! They aren’t their people to keep!!
💯😢🌹🌹🙏💔
Grow up
Robert Stack thank-you for your voice
I’m so sorry to anyone that’s missing a loved one that was lost at war ❤️
“Unfortunately I feel we don’t do enough for our soldiers!!!! “As rich as a country as we are, anyone that serves should have a decent income for the rest of there lives!!!! If it were not for our brave people committing to serve our country, we would not be as strong as we are today!!!
Thank you 🙏 to any soldiers that read this ❤️
This is one of many cases in which the US government failed its own men, in a most disgraceful way.. He should’ve been pulled out of there right after he made radio contact.. tragic story. May husband and wife reunite and rest in peace.
Boy robert stack was a boss
This guy could make drinking water sound scary

Our brave solders *are not disposable* how dare this happen!
Poor Marian. No man should be be left behind.
I agree
Lyle Moody only received a twelve years sentence for attempted murder?! What kind of crazy injustice is THAT? Dude should have gotten life, especially with such a long rap sheet as he already had!
Same exact thing I said !! And its people that didn't do half the stuff he did and gotten longer sentences . he should have gotten life without parole
37:37; guy had a shotgun; he could've shot the dude with the machete
That's what I was thinking! Like, you could have helped her.
Yeah, I don’t understand any of that.Only think I keep thinking is he was he was nervous, he just didn’t have it in him to do it.
@@johnsavedbygrace3998 In Texas, that machete wielding dude would've been swiss cheese
@@robocock475 Yeah.I think you’re right.Who knows what the guy with the gun problem was.Sad story.
May your mom rest in peace with the angels and I hope she's with your dad💝
