18:13 Gotta love the truth in her reason “I was late because I was plain lazy”. Everyone else was ironing, napping, writing a letter, doing homework, car problems. This lady all “yeah I was lazy and didn’t want to get out in cold”. Laziness saved her life.

true fact: (and also not a lie) lucille jones kramer is my grandma that was part of the church explosion who sadly passed away on september 27 2014... she didn't talk about the explosion that often when she was alive when i was around her. and i am really glad that she survive the explosion, because if she didn't... i won't be here typing this really... i don't know what else to type here really but i am going to end it with this: grandma, i really miss you. you were the best grandma that i've ever had and i really, really miss you... and i hope i see you and grandpa again.
You will certainly be reunited with them again. Life and what is around us is much too special for it all to be a coincidence. Live life to the fullest until you are reunited with them again.
What your Grandmother experienced that time is a very incredible story. she lived 64 years more than she wouldn't of had she been in that church. wow...
The church story was one of my all-time favorites ever aired by "Unsolved Mysteries". I loved how the one lady sheepishly admitted she kept the song book which landed at her feet because "she didn't think anyone would mind".
My grandmother once told me there have been alot of strange odd and scary things have happened in this world that just can't be explained,some were good like this others were scary and horrible
When I was a kid I never I would go to church sometime but church just not really my thing cuz I feel like you don't have to read the Bible to go to church you can read the Bible anytime of the day you don't have to be in church to read the Bible.
I remember reading her parents always kept the same home number just in case she called. That is so sweet and so heartbreaking. I hope at least her siblings can get answers one day.
@Jewel Clark Most likely it was a drug dealer named Jose Rodriguez, Jr. The lawyer that Cindy worked for had represented him and ended up in prison on drug charges himself. A lot of shady things were going on in that office. It's likely that Cindy stumbled onto something she wasn't supposed to or learned too much and was killed. A witness even verified that Rodriguez confessed to the murder. No one knows where Cindy's body is.
It scared me too.I grew up I hunting and fishing, always on a 3 wheeler and using kid logic I thought there was some psycho shooting random people on 3 wheelers lol
@@PhantomTF uh..do you know what culprit means!? If you do,then your just a big doofis ,like my nephew...always trying to make something happen that would never happen, I think my nephew has some screws about to fall off. 😜🤯🙄😉
Cindy Anderson is someone I still wonder about sometimes. It breaks my heart to think of all the horrible things that could have happened to such an innocent person.
@@joannemurdock7899 No that spray painting has nothing to her and was proved that years ago. It was a different Cindy. Her boyfriend ( the other Cindy ) painted that message all over town not just in that one spot.

@Josh Kolbo thats not true lol. maybe if you're trashing someone's property but i think most people would respectfully ask you to leave if you were trespassing.
Cindy’s cased is unsolved. n November 1995, a federal grand jury handed down a twenty-five count indictment of nine individuals and charged them with involvement in a large drug distribution ring in Toledo. Two of those indicted were Cindy's employer, Richard Neller, and his friend. Jose Rodriguez, Jr.. Rodriguez was allegedly the ringleader of the drug ring that Neller was also involved in. That same month, police announced that they believed that Cindy had been killed by Neller because she overheard conversations between him and Rodriguez about their operation.
@Jay McHue I doubt everyone was always on time. Except there was reason. Everyone has a perfectly reasonable reason for being tardy. But bible freaks have always had a habit of attributing any little event to a miracle lol.
I absolutely love it too! I actually visited Beatrice before I even knew of the story. It is very cold there, even in the spring months. The fact that was so cold that March night also deterred people from wanting to go out and thus played another role in saving their lives! Just a wonderful story.
The owners of the land were Frank Casteel and his wife, Susie. When Frank noticed more and more people intruding on his land he consulted a police officer who advised him to keep a logbook of everyone he witnessed. Frank had a run in with the three men and wrote it down, though never mentioned anything of murder. The men were later found dead and Casteel was a prime suspect. At the time Frank had a mistress, Mrs. Marie Hill, to whom Casteel’s wife sent his logbook in hopes that Mrs. Hill would leave him.[1] Mrs. Hill turned in the logbook to the police for evidence. Although there was no mention of violent behavior in the book and no physical evidence to support Casteel’s conviction, he was sentenced to life in prison. An appeal was made and eventually given an opportunity to overturn Casteel’s conviction in 2001.[2] The attorneys said there was no hard evidence that clearly identifies Casteel as the murderer.[3] In 2003 Frank Casteel was found guilty again for the triple homicide and returned to prison.[4]. Casteel died in prison in May 2019 at the age of 71.

It could be a lot of things other than divine intervention. It's amazing to me how people will hear about something incredible happening, and skip past all of the plausible rational explanations and jump straight to divine intervention or something like that.
Yes, happy to find Unsolved Mysteries. I was first drawn to the show when I was probably 8 years old, it was about Amelia Airhart and the Bermuda Triangle. The scariest episodes were about the unexplained.
You have a choir where the director was adamant about punctuality, and for years no one was hardly ever late... and then this ONE evening each one of the choir members were late because of a different thing -- homework, cars not starting, laziness to go out in the cold, ironing a dress, a nap that lasted too long -- and that's the night the church exploded... my own spiritual beliefs aside, how can ALL of that just be a coincidence? Not just one or two members of the choir, but ALL of them? I can't believe there wasn't something "more" going on here.
😂 You MUST be from Philadelphia 😊🌹...the "Ideal" commercial.😊 my mom used to drag me off to that place as a kid 😊 sometimes ill just start humming the theme song for no reason 😂
Love love LOVED this show when I was a kid! I used to watch it with my parents every week. I've been trying to find full episodes to watch for YEARS, thank you so much for posting them here! ❤
I used to watch this show as a kid even though the theme music used to scare the hell out of me it was my favorite show so glad to find full episodes of it I've been binge watching it for 2 weeks now I just can't seem to stop
The senior partner in her law firm was involved in a drug trafficking ring. Her disappearance presumably had to do with her coming in to information about his illegal activities or was to send a message.
The West End Baptist Church Miracle is just too much of (to me) Divine Providence. *Every member having all those different reasons for being late.. and JUST LATE ENOUGH for most of them to witness the explosion is not coincidence or happenstance. No way.*
@@loner1878 well i guess im not a gullible believer then... yes even eYe role mine at some of the stuff that is something such as a piece of bread with mold in the shape of jesus ,and maybe this is something like an insurance fraud and they simple wanted a new church...but that would need to be proved.🙂🙏🙂🙏🙂🙏
I read about the choir whose none of the singers could be on time for the rehearsal. Incredible!!! Finding who wrote the graffiti will identify her killer. Rest in peace, Cindy. My condolences to all of her loved ones.
Surprised that they were able to get Jimmy Hendrix playing in the background because I thought I heard his estate doesn't allow his music to be used for anything. IIRC they even had to use cover versions in The Hendrix movie.
they let them use it in return for Unsolved Mysteries not running a story on Bobby Bilawack being the actual real guitarist and singer. While Hendrix just mimed like Milli Vanilli.....true 👍😂
That was so uncalled for and heinous -- the murder of those three guys on the ATV. I've ridden before in a rural area, and I've never worried that a neighbor would kill me or want me dead.
The human mind is an incredible thing. Does it have the ability to perhaps sense danger and produce hormones necessary to avoid it? Trivia: The crew of Unsolved Mysteries really blew up a church for this episode. The church was already scheduled to be demolished.
The theory I've settled on is that we have memories of the future. But they can be more vague than past memories, making it difficult to pin down details. We add and lose details to our past memories; the same could be argued about a memory of the future.
The exploding church. I sincerely believe that this is a case of divine intervention. It was so unlike anyone to be late. For 15? Individuals to be independently Late was too coincidental . So yes I think they were being looked after. This is just my opinion.
That is like saying how hard would it be for the caller to give the F ing address.Could you imagine the caller legit could have saved her and didnt.Dont fault the cop for that.
@@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants While I agree the caller was ridiculous, it would have also been super easy for the police to contact the county's Register of Deeds and find out who owned two properties next to each other. I'm often baffled by the carelessness of the police in these episodes. But then again, they're not giving us the full story, either. Nor can they in such a short amount of time.
@@sethmoking It would still be way easier for the caller to either give the right address or at least the street name.Not telling the cops ruined the whole point of the call.
@@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants I agree the mystery caller could at least gave a street name to narrow the search.......but clearly the woman is scared to death...I mean she could have been threatened by who ever held Cindy...if she told anyone..........I remember the Night Stalker case the guy who told police who the Night stalker really was dissappeared soon after...and far as I know was never seen again..........at the time there was a huge reword for info and it was never claimed..regardless if the guy wanted it or not bottom line he's never been seen..as was told on Unsolved Mysteries.
a cult that used one house or the other for sketchy activity? damnnn, BUT, I did read somewhere that a lawyer/attorney who worked at her office was involved in drugs ... sketchy
That Church Story is awesome That's what happens with his people sometimes especially those who love to worship their creator. He will truly be their shield and their exceeding great reward.
Very comforting to see this story, particularly in these terrible times. We must all keep our faith and know He watches over his flock. Watching this has made me feel so much better.
In December 2016 the roof of a Nigerian church collapsed during services, killing at least two dozen people, and possibly up to 160. Why wasn't God looking out for his worshipers then? He wasn't their shield, obviously.
@@tekbarrier Or perhaps it was their time to go to God. Can you think of a better way to meet your maker in any way other than in the house of the Lord?
Yeah. Her wearing make-up was obviously the reason she disappeared. That totally insincere speech about welcoming her back with a nauseating, smarmy smile says, he really doesn't want her back. He couldn't give a rats arse what happened to her because very clearly her sinful wearing of make up and taking pride in her appearance was her downfall. Got to love a religious zealot haven't you?
Cindy’s dad saying she was an obedient girl is weird as hell! I’m not saying he had something to do with it but the way he expresses about her sounds more like a pet than a daughter.
Something is off with him talking about her makeup and not eating breakfast and how maybe that had something to do with what happened to her. Just not a great feeling about him.
I watched the Buzzfeed Unsolved about this case and they mentioned how odd her dad was about her after the disappearance. Like blaming her makeup on her disappearance. He sounds like a bad person in general
the funny thing about a lot of these "revolutionaries" is they ended up betraying their ideals for money and power, and are now the ones that modern revolutionaries are fighting against...
38:47 it's foreshadowing that Robert Stack was rocking a Burberry shirt in the late 80's & fast forward a lil over a decade later you couldn't watch a rap video without rappers doing the same thing. He scared the shit outta me as a youngin' but he had class too lol
I was in Chattanooga recently and I kept thinking about this case. The ATV murders. I don’t see why the guy just didn’t tell them to get off the property and then file a police report. He already had the advantage with the gun.
I don’t think Cindy ran away to start a new life. I really think something terrible happened to her and I’m going to guess foul play. That or she was kidnapped and forced into human trafficking…
The fact that the choir who is habitually on time, but happens to all be late on the same day, just to miss becoming a casualty in an explosion 💥, is not a coincidence.
Yasssss Unsolved Mysteries With Robert Stack Is Back But Creepy As Hell The First Story The Cynthia Anderson Case Absolutely Scared The Shit Out Of Me I Theorized That She Was Abducted From Her Office In August Of 1981 Held Against Her Will Tortured Than Murdered I Pray There's A Resolution In Her Case Very Sad Situation Indeed
At 11:43 to 12:02 Cynthia's dad creeps me out with the way he is smiling while talking about his missing daughter, he acts like he is talking about his favorite sports team instead of his missing daughter. Maybe he himself did something to her.
It ALWAYS bothers me the way he basically blames her for her own disappearance with that crap about "spending more time on her face than her stomach" and how that was "part of the problem". Are you really going on national TV and suggesting your daughter basically tempted men into taking her? I'm sure he loved and missed his daughter, but what a shitty thing to say.
Why do people jump to such conclusions without a shred of evidence? Just because he doesn't act the way you want him to act doesn't mean he killed his daughter. Nothing wrong with being optimistic. Clearly she was abducted at work. If he wanted to kill her he would've waited until she came home. Plus, her family or boyfriend would have alerted police to anything suspicious with the dad. It's a work related disappearance/murder.
@LadyEquipped The graffiti was proven to be unrelated. "In the mid-90's the police revealed that the person who had written the messages had been identified but wasn't believed to have any connection to her disappearance." (medium.com/@Unsolved_Mysteries/the-case-of-cynthia-anderson-did-she-just-walk-away-or-was-something-more-sinister-going-on-e1bce6cb0e7a) "The graffiti is not part of her case anymore. A poster in another Cindy Anderson thread said that her name is also Cindy and that the graffiti was meant for her that her boyfriend wrote for her. He died a few years later in a motorcycle accident. The poster even posted a letter from him to her in the thread. " Unfortunately, the poster in this thread (copied from www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=306159) did not link back to the thread with this other Cindy's post.
Watched this last night and her co-worker's grin at 4:40 also creeped me tf out!? I had to rewind that snippet like 5x to make sure I wasn't being ridiculous. If nothing else, just really weird.. And yeah, I thought her Dad seemed really odd there (re- body language); and contextually, those debutante / breakfast comments... Again, it's a reach to build my suspicions off this alone, but he was just giving me really visceral red flags / bad vibes
That baby at 18:40 that said "uh oh" right on cue has to be the most amazing acting in the whole segment. Not easy to get babies or little kids to do that. Hopefully the parents raised some decent college funds from their little tv star's acting and then had them go on and live a regular life.

@@gaynorpatterson2915because they knew it wasn’t for her. Everyone did. It was written by a high schooler for his girlfriend and they were all over town. They are now married. Unsolved mysteries decided to leave this out because it didn’t fit the narrative.
I love the story of that choir. That can't be anything but divine intervention.
AMEN
It could be a lot of things other than divine intervention. It's amazing to me how people will hear about something incredible happening, and skip past all of the plausible rational explanations and jump straight to divine intervention or something like that.
So if a church member is early to church and gets shot, god wanted them to get shot since it didn’t “intervene”
Call it fate, luck, divine intervention, a miracle, in the end, all that matters is they weren't pulling bodies out of the rubble
It is absolutely amazing!
Yes, happy to find Unsolved Mysteries. I was first drawn to the show when I was probably 8 years old, it was about Amelia Airhart and the Bermuda Triangle. The scariest episodes were about the unexplained.
Missing time UFOs
Unsolved Mysteries must've had special permission to use the Hendrix music during the 60s segment because they played the hell out of it.
moooov ohvuh n lett jimi taik ohvuh 😊
Like "White Rabbit", the "Watchtower" song defines that period of American history.
You have a choir where the director was adamant about punctuality, and for years no one was hardly ever late... and then this ONE evening each one of the choir members were late because of a different thing -- homework, cars not starting, laziness to go out in the cold, ironing a dress, a nap that lasted too long -- and that's the night the church exploded... my own spiritual beliefs aside, how can ALL of that just be a coincidence? Not just one or two members of the choir, but ALL of them? I can't believe there wasn't something "more" going on here.
insurance fraud
Thank you so much for uploading these! Brings back memories.
Alexandra Hawke chis diss legal chorder not ?
😂 You MUST be from Philadelphia 😊🌹...the "Ideal" commercial.😊 my mom used to drag me off to that place as a kid 😊 sometimes ill just start humming the theme song for no reason 😂
THE MUSIC AND THIS GUY IS SCARY AS HELL!!!
Love love LOVED this show when I was a kid! I used to watch it with my parents every week. I've been trying to find full episodes to watch for YEARS, thank you so much for posting them here! ❤
This is one of the best all around episodes.
I agree.. The first and second seasons were the best.
Wow the church explosion gives me chills Everytime. God was with them that evening!!!
YES HE WAS!!!!!
Me! Truly since I was 3 years old, the show, the sound, the music and Mr. Stack's narration has always been....Therapy lol
The Church story was a true blessing from God. 🙏🏻
They really went all out with the budget for the Kathy Powers case, awesome music!
The updates, and tense music attached are still eerie to me. Not to mention the creepy and sadistic looking mugshots of the criminals apprehended.😐
Absolutely enjoy Unsolved Mysteries.
Thank you for the series uploads.
Watching from NSW Australia.
Wow! I’m also from Australia as well!
"If I wouldn't have been listening to This Is Your Life, my life would've been over" lol
Love the Choir story! Miraculously late!!! 😊
I love the story about the church. None of them were meant to die that night.
I used to watch this show as a kid even though the theme music used to scare the hell out of me it was my favorite show so glad to find full episodes of it I've been binge watching it for 2 weeks now I just can't seem to stop
15:50 - Blows my mind that moms back in the day bothered to iron a dress for a baby. 🤯
My mom almost obligated my older sister to iron her baby's dresses and clothes since she was a newborn xD my niece was born in late 2017 hahaha
We iron clothes today, as we appreciate our clothes looking crisp and neat.
It’s not just back in the day, there are still people who care about their appearance and the appearance of their family.
And ironed to go to choir practice, not even actual Sunday church service! The formality of the time sure was something.
The Cindy Anderson story has some really thick Midwestern accents in it
Big time. Sounds like Wisconsin or Minnesota.
The Toledo accent is interesting. Nasal like Michigan but hints of upper Midwest otherwise.
@@luke125Ohio because they literally said where it was.
Cindy was killed by someone she knew
That's what I think. Or being held against her will.
She ran away.
The senior partner in her law firm was involved in a drug trafficking ring. Her disappearance presumably had to do with her coming in to information about his illegal activities or was to send a message.
Next time I'm feeling lazy, I'll listen lol.
Same here!
😂😂😂
The church exploding and each choir member to avoid it that night is straight out of Final Destination!
The West End Baptist Church Miracle is just too much of (to me) Divine Providence. *Every member having all those different reasons for being late.. and JUST LATE ENOUGH for most of them to witness the explosion is not coincidence or happenstance. No way.*
Beautiful
Except there were all reasons, it not like they just froze in place for no reason. Doesn't seem supernatural to me.
Yes indeed,and hardened hearts unbelievers can't see how it is a miracle.
@@wynottgivemore9274 Gullible believers think shapes on toast are miracles, so....
@@loner1878 well i guess im not a gullible believer then... yes even eYe role mine at some of the stuff that is something such as a piece of bread with mold in the shape of jesus ,and maybe this is something like an insurance fraud and they simple wanted a new church...but that would need to be proved.🙂🙏🙂🙏🙂🙏
Wow so many memories who else watching 2021

The fact that Robert Stack was more than 70 years old when he started doing the show, is another testimony to the power that he holds!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️
Really? I never knew that...he is such a handsome man.
He would have been 67 when the show started.
I read about the choir whose none of the singers could be on time for the rehearsal.
Incredible!!!
Finding who wrote the graffiti will identify her killer.
Rest in peace, Cindy. My condolences to all of her loved ones.
And the sheet music and book being delivered wow truly miraculous
Something about the way Robert Stack says murder cuts to your core
Surprised that they were able to get Jimmy Hendrix playing in the background because I thought I heard his estate doesn't allow his music to be used for anything.
IIRC they even had to use cover versions in The Hendrix movie.
they let them use it in return for Unsolved Mysteries not running a story on Bobby Bilawack being the actual real guitarist and singer. While Hendrix just mimed like Milli Vanilli.....true 👍😂
Yeah thought the same thing because of copyright
That was so uncalled for and heinous -- the murder of those three guys on the ATV. I've ridden before in a rural area, and I've never worried that a neighbor would kill me or want me dead.
A lot of illegal activities happening in the woods down south. Them 3 probably rolled up and saw something they weren't supposed to see IMO.
The human mind is an incredible thing. Does it have the ability to perhaps sense danger and produce hormones necessary to avoid it?
Trivia: The crew of Unsolved Mysteries really blew up a church for this episode. The church was already scheduled to be demolished.
@Jack McHue none of the church choir knew there was a gas leak, until after the explosion 💥
The theory I've settled on is that we have memories of the future. But they can be more vague than past memories, making it difficult to pin down details.
We add and lose details to our past memories; the same could be argued about a memory of the future.
I remember when they were looking for a barm to be demolished In Maryland for a segment on John Wilkes Booth.
I live 20 miles south of Chattanooga Tn and remember when this happened.
the signal mountain murders?
The exploding church. I sincerely believe that this is a case of divine intervention. It was so unlike anyone to be late. For 15? Individuals to be independently Late was too coincidental . So yes I think they were being looked after. This is just my opinion.
In the Cynthia case,. The mystery caller said two houses. Side by side owned by the same person! How hard would that have been to check!??
That is like saying how hard would it be for the caller to give the F ing address.Could you imagine the caller legit could have saved her and didnt.Dont fault the cop for that.
@@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants While I agree the caller was ridiculous, it would have also been super easy for the police to contact the county's Register of Deeds and find out who owned two properties next to each other. I'm often baffled by the carelessness of the police in these episodes. But then again, they're not giving us the full story, either. Nor can they in such a short amount of time.
@@sethmoking It would still be way easier for the caller to either give the right address or at least the street name.Not telling the cops ruined the whole point of the call.
@@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants I agree the mystery caller could at least gave a street name to narrow the search.......but clearly the woman is scared to death...I mean she could have been threatened by who ever held Cindy...if she told anyone..........I remember the Night Stalker case the guy who told police who the Night stalker really was dissappeared soon after...and far as I know was never seen again..........at the time there was a huge reword for info and it was never claimed..regardless if the guy wanted it or not bottom line he's never been seen..as was told on Unsolved Mysteries.
a cult that used one house or the other for sketchy activity? damnnn, BUT, I did read somewhere that a lawyer/attorney who worked at her office was involved in drugs ... sketchy
That Church Story is awesome That's what happens with his people sometimes especially those who love to worship their creator. He will truly be their shield and their exceeding great reward.
Very comforting to see this story, particularly in these terrible times. We must all keep our faith and know He watches over his flock. Watching this has made me feel so much better.
In December 2016 the roof of a Nigerian church collapsed during services, killing at least two dozen people, and possibly up to 160. Why wasn't God looking out for his worshipers then? He wasn't their shield, obviously.
@@tekbarrier Why didn't you make an effort to save those people?
@@antonioacevedo5200 because I was thousands of miles away when it happened. So there's that...
@@tekbarrier Or perhaps it was their time to go to God. Can you think of a better way to meet your maker in any way other than in the house of the Lord?
7:48 Why did they wait ( SIX MONTHS ) to repaint that sign that is very strange.
That would freak me out. Seriously strange.
Why didn't they put up cameras
FlixCreEightR Exactly!!! good point.
They eventually found out who did that graffiti and it was actually for another Cynthia! I googled it
@@ivypoison6806 oh!?
Cindy's father was a real piece of work. He seemed almost annoyed that she would dare to disappear let alone wear make up, What a prick.
Some people wondered if she decided to run away for that reason, like she wanted more from life than what her parents wanted
Yeah I noticed that. He never seemed to demonstrate any concern or sadness that his daughter was missing.
@@jessicavictoriacarrillo7254 that seems VERY plausible.
@@jessicavictoriacarrillo7254 and leave her money to rot?
Yeah. Her wearing make-up was obviously the reason she disappeared. That totally insincere speech about welcoming her back with a nauseating, smarmy smile says, he really doesn't want her back. He couldn't give a rats arse what happened to her because very clearly her sinful wearing of make up and taking pride in her appearance was her downfall. Got to love a religious zealot haven't you?
The baby's uh oh. So adorable.
Cindy’s dad saying she was an obedient girl is weird as hell! I’m not saying he had something to do with it but the way he expresses about her sounds more like a pet than a daughter.
"Religious fundamentalist family" = incest and abuse. She probably ran away.
Agreed. He acted like a weirdo during his segment. She loved her face and didn’t want to eat.
Something is off with him talking about her makeup and not eating breakfast and how maybe that had something to do with what happened to her. Just not a great feeling about him.
I watched the Buzzfeed Unsolved about this case and they mentioned how odd her dad was about her after the disappearance. Like blaming her makeup on her disappearance. He sounds like a bad person in general
Ya very weird how he described her, fuckin weirdo!!!
the funny thing about a lot of these "revolutionaries" is they ended up betraying their ideals for money and power, and are now the ones that modern revolutionaries are fighting against...
Lots of people are fighting against lots of things. The only question is who has the best cause?
Lol the "revolutionaries" today are funded by corporations and outside interests. Nothing has changed
Thank you only watch it at night 👍
I remember the church explosion episode from my child hood
i am glad that no one was there, that got hurt or killed.
Thanks for the upload
I live near Signal Mountain in the Chattanooga area. Frank Casteel just passed away in prison last year.
18:39 "UH, OH," indeed, little one!
That uh-oh part is so cute
the way she says it makes me laugh.
Always thought that segment was particularly well done.
they need gods protection at those young ages, and we all could use or had an experience over the years 🙂😊😇🤗😀
38:47 it's foreshadowing that Robert Stack was rocking a Burberry shirt in the late 80's & fast forward a lil over a decade later you couldn't watch a rap video without rappers doing the same thing. He scared the shit outta me as a youngin' but he had class too lol
I peeped dat too on another episode too. Rob Stack was at a dock. #RobDrippinStacks lol
I was in Chattanooga recently and I kept thinking about this case. The ATV murders. I don’t see why the guy just didn’t tell them to get off the property and then file a police report. He already had the advantage with the gun.
Yeah he senselessly slaughtered them, so terrible. 😐 I’m glad the murderer Frank Casteel was sentenced to life as he should’ve been given in prison.
They weren´t on his property. What they were doing was legal but I believe Casteel didn´t like the noise or something.
Because he was a psychopath.
@@michaeld.williamsiii9026 his son is plugging his book on RUclips too. What a sad little man he is.
@@Fleeto2006 Oh my, sad little man indeed...😑
I don’t think Cindy ran away to start a new life. I really think something terrible happened to her and I’m going to guess foul play. That or she was kidnapped and forced into human trafficking…
I would like to know why isn't there anymore shows like this show on TV. I loved watching the cases on here.
Forensic files and fbi files are the closet to this. 48 hours used to creep me out as well.
The fact that the choir who is habitually on time, but happens to all be late on the same day, just to miss becoming a casualty in an explosion 💥, is not a coincidence.
Yasssss Unsolved Mysteries With Robert Stack Is Back But Creepy As Hell The First Story The Cynthia Anderson Case Absolutely Scared The Shit Out Of Me I Theorized That She Was Abducted From Her Office In August Of 1981 Held Against Her Will Tortured Than Murdered I Pray There's A Resolution In Her Case Very Sad Situation Indeed
The Update song gives me the chills!
At 11:43 to 12:02 Cynthia's dad creeps me out with the way he is smiling while talking about his missing daughter, he acts like he is talking about his favorite sports team instead of his missing daughter. Maybe he himself did something to her.
It ALWAYS bothers me the way he basically blames her for her own disappearance with that crap about "spending more time on her face than her stomach" and how that was "part of the problem". Are you really going on national TV and suggesting your daughter basically tempted men into taking her? I'm sure he loved and missed his daughter, but what a shitty thing to say.
Christian fundamentalist. 😐
Why do people jump to such conclusions without a shred of evidence? Just because he doesn't act the way you want him to act doesn't mean he killed his daughter. Nothing wrong with being optimistic. Clearly she was abducted at work. If he wanted to kill her he would've waited until she came home. Plus, her family or boyfriend would have alerted police to anything suspicious with the dad. It's a work related disappearance/murder.
@LadyEquipped The graffiti was proven to be unrelated. "In the mid-90's the police revealed that the person who had written the messages had been identified but wasn't believed to have any connection to her disappearance." (medium.com/@Unsolved_Mysteries/the-case-of-cynthia-anderson-did-she-just-walk-away-or-was-something-more-sinister-going-on-e1bce6cb0e7a)
"The graffiti is not part of her case anymore. A poster in another Cindy Anderson thread said that her name is also Cindy and that the graffiti was meant for her that her boyfriend wrote for her. He died a few years later in a motorcycle accident. The poster even posted a letter from him to her in the thread. " Unfortunately, the poster in this thread (copied from www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=306159) did not link back to the thread with this other Cindy's post.
Watched this last night and her co-worker's grin at 4:40 also creeped me tf out!? I had to rewind that snippet like 5x to make sure I wasn't being ridiculous. If nothing else, just really weird..
And yeah, I thought her Dad seemed really odd there (re- body language); and contextually, those debutante / breakfast comments... Again, it's a reach to build my suspicions off this alone, but he was just giving me really visceral red flags / bad vibes
Had no idea Katherine Power once on Unsolved. Didn't remember that. That became the basis for the Law & Order episode 'White Rabbit'.
I’ve watched the reboot on Netflix. It’s ok but it needs a host. The host helps tell the story with the creepy music being the backdrop.
Yea. I watched all the new episodes. But I'll still research the classics before rewatching the reworked ones. They just need another Robert Stack.
That baby at 18:40 that said "uh oh" right on cue has to be the most amazing acting in the whole segment. Not easy to get babies or little kids to do that. Hopefully the parents raised some decent college funds from their little tv star's acting and then had them go on and live a regular life.
That was the cutest moment!
Wow Robert looks so young here ❤️ he's one of the best hosts ever
Nobody can top Robert with this kind of show
But what about the choir leader, the one who demanded everyone always be on time? I guess SHE was late that night as well?
She said so in the segment. She was tired and took a longer nap than she planned on.
I was wondering that also. I didn't realize the napper was her. I thought she was a choir member.
The napper was the daughter of the choir director
It amazes me not one or two late but a car would not start, study for math, sleeping, listening to the radio etc. It was not there time.
the one listening to the radio is my grandma...
The "Cindy" whose name was written on the wall posted on an internet forum and confirmed there was no connection to Cindy Anderson.
Can't stop watching these shows 😍
Stack and the music scared tf out of me when i was younger watching UM.
There are many parallels between the 60's and today.
Yes commies are still scumbags
