Im so glad he got to see one of the girls before passing away. What a good man he was.
He was waiting to see the girls one last time.
What a moving story, Charlie and his family accepted those two girls and then they waited for 50 years, God bless them.
You cannot fail to be moved by the story of the daughters taken in by a family during the depression. A story that touches the heart and soul and restores your faith in humanity.
Lol yes, I love the accent of Charlie’s daughter.
I had to hold back the tears...
Charlie Best is one of kinds, such a nice wonderful man god bless him. This story always brings tears to my eyes. There are not lot of guys like Charlie.
Robert Stack was the best in this program, as a host and narrating . He is sorely missed by those who enjoyed watching Unsolved Mysteries. Rest In Peace always, Robert. 🙏🙏
As with the last story here -- Whenever this show did period-piece segments, I always got the impression that each could be a stand-alone tv series that I wanted to continue watching. The level of detail and production values that went into these re-enactment stories makes me want to keep watching those people in whatever world and time they are profiled within
So true.
The last story was beautiful.
ComputerPink 901 so sweet to see that good people still exist... especially in a show full of arsonists, scammers, psychopaths, murderers, thieves, rapists, cruel selfish parents... there’s a generous Charlie who welcomed strangers with open hands and shared the little that he had.
Charlie and his family are so sweet and kind. I remember watching this case when I was a teenager on Lifetime and was so happy to hear at least one of the girls were reunited with the Best family. If you're not crying at some point during or after the story you are not human. May Charlie Rest in Peace.
@@davidbayles1087 mcclung?
The mcclung seg?!
"Did you hear any more about the little girls?" :(
RIP Charlie. What a sweet man.
In these troubled times, we need more Charlie Bests
Yes. He was an amazing man with the heart of an angel. I am convinced he stayed alive with sheer determination until they were found, even if he only was able to be reunited with Ada. She was astonished that someone loved her that much to pour half a century into looking for her.
Remember, however, that the girls' father was a widow who also did the best he could, under very difficult circumstances, to make sure his little girls were fed and had a bed, while he searched all over for work that was so scarce to come by. He put their well-being first. That, too, is the mark of a good man. I am sure he never forgot the kindness offered to him by Charlie's family in such desperate times.
Charlie had a heart of gold 💛 and he’s got to be the cutest 91 year old I’ve ever seen 😻 just adorable ❤️
What about William Shatner? Not ninety- ONE yet but close enough. Lol 😆🤣.
I’m not crying., you’re crying… so sweet about Ada and Charlie … what a gift…although Charlie died weeks later .. I think he waited for those girls to come home.. ❤️❤️❤️
I have to agree. Imo, Charlie Best died a happy man.
Unfortunately one sister was still alive at that time but,that was a good story
That last segment. Thank you God for allowing Charlie Best to see the girls one last time. What a wonderful man
This show used to scare me to death when I was a kid. I still loved the show.
The music s scary
I grew up in South Florida my whole life. My mom told me not too long ago that when this show originally aired I was under the impression that EVERY murder/missing segment took place EXACTLY where we lived. To be a kid in the late 80's early 90's......Zero horror movies ever scared the shit out of me nearly as much as Robert Stack in a trenchcoat.
I'm sure Charlie was a great man. It seems as if he waited as long as it took to see the girls once more. I see Charlie like one of that kind of people who you just don't see often these days. One of those people who have a perfectly lovely personality, with a heart bigger than their chest, and that you never see them sad or angry, but always willing to provide love and care for their loved ones.
And I'm so amazed on how Ada was able to see, greet and thank Charlie for everything one last time. I just wish I could do the same with my great grandpa who passed 24 years ago. Ain't no day I think abut him and miss him very much.
Thanks to God that Charlie could see the girls once more before laying to rest in peace. May God bless his galant soul for his kind deed in giving them a home in time of need.
Charlie Best. A real man among men. RIP old timer............
The family was aptly named...the best.
So cute when Charlie meets the grown up Edith and says to her that she is so pretty. What a lovely man!
Im going to pull a Charlie and tell you that you are so pretty.... sorry...creepy? My bad lol
@@kennykiiroja8302, haha. Glad you like my avatar. :D
@@lynncrf :) is it you?
@@kennykiiroja8302, no it's just a pretty avatar although I do have blue eyes and copper hair. Hence why I chose it. ;)
@@lynncrf ahh nice... i dig it :)
19:30 Robert Stacks bad acting dig is priceless 😂
I think that it's really awesome that Charlie got to see the surviving girl that he took care of for over 2 years before he passed away. That had to mean the world to that dear old man to see her again.
That was kind of the University to return money to help out the old lady who was left penniless. Not a common act these days. Praise!
she lived off the interest of an endowment she left the university-- they didn't give her anything back. instead of them re-investing the interest or dividends, the old lady who gave the money in the first place got to keep the interest every month, basically. that's all.
hater@@snagglepussdacat5463
It's scary to think Dan Tondevold got away with that elaborate scam (and murder). It wouldn't be surprising if he did this to another lonely rich person, somewhere in Europe.
Or someone else here in the states. That is why I cannot stand the "let them live their own truth" people in our culture, because that is what they would claim about people like Dan Tondevold: "He's just living his truth!".
@@Panwere36 Agreed
If he's still out there, he's done this to others. Who knows how many.
Yep. The notion he killed himself is pure bullshit. Nobody goes to all that trouble to steal all that money only to commit suicide.
@Jewel Clark Please consider that she was 85 years old and lonely. Don't judge her.
Ellen Berry eventually moved into a small apartment in Jefferson City, Tennessee. She passed away in 1992 at the age of 98. If the unidentified body on Fripp Island wasn't his, Dan has yet to be found.
Poor Mrs. Berry 😢
God wanted Mrs. Berry. He knew he couldn't get to her with her ego so mighty so he had to bring her back down to earth before she died.
@Jewel Clark Well you know what they say when you don't hear you will feel & she definitely did feel alright.
@@seekingserenity1209 true
Al in mcDung Dingle_berry !
Dan Tonavold didnt commit suicide he took that poor woman money and fled...people so wicked
Cops are so stupid can't believe they fell for it
The best show ever, the best music ever, the best host ever, simple the best, I really enjoy this back again, thanks
Wow PEOPLE WHO SCAM OTHER PEOPLE OUT OF GREED ARE THE WORST/LOWEST OF THE LOW I have no understanding that a person is capable of doing this to another human being
More low than child molesters?
Especially to an elderly woman. Disgusting.
And they get away with scams, sometimes hundreds of times.
Psychopaths. It doesn't bother them one bit. They don't have that feeling.
There are not lot of Charles in the world. God bless the family.
After the broadcast, Jim was put in contact with a distant relative of Annie's. The relative stated that she had been searching for him as well. However, this relative has since lost contact with her. If Annie is still alive, she would now be 96 years old.
Oh my goodness. That story from East Tennessee reminds me of all my relatives that still live there. I haven't been back in years! What a touching story.
you should go visit
I'm originally from Camden, which is about 300 miles from where that story took place but all those people could have been my relatives and they talk exactly like I remember people used to there. I moved away more than 40 years ago now.
That man Jim has a big heart, he a real one.
I'm so grateful for RUclips I get to watch them all over again
So first he takes the boys away from their mother then he outs one up for adoption? What a jerk
I know! What kind of father does that?
Ikr...thats a mongrel thing to do ..he just did it to spite her no doubt 🤬
And listening to Jim’s story is so sad and senseless he lost both his mother and little brother out of spite because his father was angry and bitter!
I would have disowned the bastard if I was Donald's father. Don didn't die soon enough.
God bless Charlie Best ! He is such a wonderful man.
Thanks for uploading all of these episodes. I remember watching it from behind the cushions as a kid.ive been binge watching season 4 today so I'm going to stop with that nice happy ending in that last case and try not to have nightmares.
Charlie was waiting for those girls. It's not a coincidence that he passed away weeks later. I'm in tears.
What a beautiful family in the last story!! And the LOVE they shared with complete strangers basically!! Wow! Awesome....I kind of feel like that would be very rare to encounter good people like that nowadays people would be hating and jealous of another in the family ...I hope I'm wrong.
So true
The last story gave me tears and so much reflection in life🥺😭, but i felt like shouldn't it be the other way around. Shouldn't it be the girls supposedly looking for Charlie instead and thank him for what he did for her and her sister. Yet he was the one who reached out and made it possible to meet the girls.
glad to hear Charlie was able to reunite with one of the girls before he passed away..
He was a great man.
The Tonavold case I remember from when it first aired. I always thought that he stole all her money, killed someone else to fake his suicide and disappeared.
Now I watch it and wonder if Tonavold just blew thru all her money and really did kill himself.
The guy is a narcissist. He likely plotted the murder and took off.
I wonder if Jim ever found his mom. So sad. 🥺But at least he grew into being a good guy just hope he found his mom. It’d be too late now I’m sure.
That mr. Charlie Best is/was an amazing man. God bless him for not only opening his home,but his heart to those little girls.
Ellen Berry passed away in 1992 at the age of 98. If the unidentified body on Fripp Island wasn't his, Dan has yet to be found.

Thank you for the timestamps
Best one yet couldn't keep the tears out of my eyes happy tears❣️ this proves there's still yet good left in people's 💖
The last segment is food for the soul 🙌🥰❤️🙏
It’s such a joy to see the love and light in Charlie’s eyes 😇 Such a kind soul 🙌🕊️
Glad charlie seen Ada before he died
You had me at Robert Stack....
I loved Robert Stack' in "Unsolved Mysteries" when I was a young teen and still do! That segment with Dan TonDevold, what a creep he was taking advantage of the elderly lady!
So, Jim divorced his wife, took the children, & then gave the younger one up for adoption? That was really spiteful. He could have left him with his wife.
exactly that made no sense. but the wife too wasn't using her head how you gonna be living in your husband family place and be cheating on him? i guess the judge gave him full custody because she was not working. that is so sad smh
@@angelfearon1306 Whatever her mistake was in cheating on her husband, that's no reason to take it out on the boys.
I agree it shouldn’t have happened!
He took the kids to hurt her. He took away the things she loved most for punishment.
It's not right but many many woman also do this?
Here I am trying to get ready for work, but I’m too busy crying about Charlie, Zella Mae, and the little girls 😭❤️
Heir investigators received an anonymous tip from one of Charlie's customers that he was originally from Pennsylvania. They traced him to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where they discovered that he had been arrested for disturbing the peace in March of 1957. Through this arrest record, they learned that he had married Mary Agnes Wysokie. They also discovered that Charlie had a daughter, Jacquelyn Sweet, who was born in 1957. For unknown reasons, he abandoned her and her mother before her birth and moved to California. He never contacted them again.
Strangely, after leaving for California, he also never contacted his parents again. However, he did stay in contact with several cousins. His cousins had no idea that he was married or that he had a daughter. Finally, it was discovered that Charlie was born on March 30, 1928, and was fifty-nine when he died, not seventy-six as he told his friends in San Francisco.
Jacquelyn received about three-quarters of her father's estate. She and her husband used the money to buy a new house. She has since got in contact with her father's relatives. She also traveled to San Francisco to meet her father's friends and learn more about him.
Would've been awesome if Dan and Hugh were the same man; that would've made the story all too interesting
They WERE the same person
@@kennyryan625 hardly.
@@Booth1667They we’re. Just because some kid called Dan Tondevold went to school in LA and joined the Thespian Society, that proves absolutely nothing. It was a total red herring to introduce the L.A. kid into the story. There can be more than one person in the world called Dan Tondevold.
for a show that scares the sh*t out of me to this day- it has the most heartwarming stories too
Same here.....I'm 45 and the music still scares me
@@halo218813 Literal chills to this day
I can not understand how a man divorcises his wife, gets full custody of his sons, denies the ex-wife access, and then puts one of these sons up for adoption. WHAT???? What a HEARTLESS thing to do!!!! Thank goodness the youngest was placed with what appeared to be good parents and a good home. But I am appalled by the father's actions!!!!
maybe she shouldnt have cheated
@@howdareyouexist So the children had to suffer? Please don't reproduce.
@@howdareyouexist A spouse cheating doesn't excuse being a rotten father.
@@howdareyouexist shut the hell up psycho
@@partyguy101ify or a rotten husband. she wasn't cheating for no reason
that family has a penchant for dumping family members...
Favorite show as a kid. Very weird now I live in Durant Oklahoma.
Thanks for these videos, it's great to be able to watch these again!
Why would he put his son up for adoption instead of sending him back to his mother. That makes me crazy
Just sad
He didn't want to see his ex-wife happy with their son living with her.
Control and revenge for cheating on him.
@Codyy Wisconsin What're you smoking, dude? Lay off of it.
@@sandrafaith yes. Haters do understand things in the sense they want, as they didn't learn the language well
Robert Stack played Elliot Ness in the original 1959 Untouchables
(s)he farted
Duh
Yes, Stack's first success was Ness'. Well, if there was a vaccine against haters i'd take It first than the Cvid's
your radio is skipping dipshit
The Charlie Best story was beautiful ❤
The first story is so sad. 😭😭. This killer are heartless & evil.
Damn she was lonely !! She is a great lady and Mom !! Mercy is needed for all of us !!!
Damn the Dudes in the First Segment was some Cold Blooded Killers
I know. I don't understand why they didn't get the death penalty.
yesorlando05 They were a lot more lenient back then. There are tons of unsolved mysteries cases where there is an update and murderers get 20 years or less, or it gets classified as manslaughter.
Yeah they should've gotten the death penalty easy
@@yesorlando05 bc there not black that’s why white privilege
Shocked with all that killing they didn't get the dp
Charlie Best was really the Best. :) I think he wasn't willing to pass on until he got to see the "little girls" again. It is sad that her sister died, but he was very happy to find Ada again. They all were. What a family.
Remember, too, that the girls' father also did the best he could under very difficult circumstances; widowed and with two little girls as he tried hard to find them shelter and food while he searched for work, when it was so hard to find any. That, too, is the mark of a good father.
The whole Currie case is tragic; PTSD does a number on people. When they aired this, they showed the age-enhanced photo of Annie Currie which scared me.
Ann Curry
I wonder why they cut that out of this version. Usually the age-enhanced photos are included ... and those usually scared the hell out of me as a kid too.
PTSD has nothing to do with extreme revenge, power and control over your wife. Neither does it have anything to do with adopting out your child just because your wife doesn't want to be with you anymore and has found a better man
The old woman from the thumbnail had a scary face.
Thats actually me!
@Oscar Leon Al in mcDung Dingle_berry !
@@OikPoinFive really?
It should be noted that 3 years later, Frank Brady's daughter, Melisa Sloan went missing. She has not been seen since 1994. Her husband John had been arrested for assaulting her. That case was pending when Melisa went missing. I don't believe UM covered that story.
Donald Curry was a very spiteful man. Sad....
I agree giving one of the boys up for adoption was a bit much but she did cheat on him. He was granted custody because he had emplyment, she didnt
@@dereka4816 Even the judge said she was a good person and not to burn his bridges.. I imagine if he hadn't of closed himself off, she would have never cheated because she wouldn't have felt so alone in the relationship...
@@jesusknight1 cheater got what a cheater deserved
Why on earth is everyone talking about this rich old lady getting scammed rather than the guy that Dan killed to fake his death? That's a far, far more egregious crime than him stealing her money. If that wasn't Dan's body then some poor guy got murdered, body incinerated, and it's like he never existed. His family/friends won't even know what happened to him.
Old people are stupid when they get rich and complacent. That story wasn't even shocking to me in the least. If a family member is going senile, get their permission to handle their finances before they lose it. Get it on tape, on video if you need. And do the right thing. Follow their wishes, but don't allow some young idiot to swoop in and steal everything.
Give me 20 years and I'll be hanging my paycheck over to some Indian bot that says "you are so handsome oh my goddd" - lmao.
Awww the little girls ...
This is one of the most wholesome episodes
That Tondoval guy is evil, I hope he is burning in hell for taking that woman's money
@Jewel Clark if that's the case he's certainly elusive
hell doesnt exist
@@howdareyouexist I guess you better hope you're right 🤷♂️
UM makes you careful who you trust dang !
@I. Wynn Wynn TF!??! 🤯
Tennessee , had very nice People back then . Even in the 70's , our Family Vacationed in 72 , 76 and 77 in Nashville . Strangers you walked by Smiled and said Hello .
Anyone that can steal from an old lady like that should be put under the jail
To hear Charlie passed away was a gut punch.
I know, i cry my eyes out every time I see this story.
The Charlie Best story made me cry. What a kind man.
Been binge watching this series. It really seems like one of the greatest shows ever made.
Awww that last segment! 😢😍
Mrs Berry was very gullible
Yes folks still escape, thank our lucky stars it's alot harder now.. Story one is Frightening.. Be careful out there folks..
Jim shouldnt have waited for his dad Rosie to search for his mom
It is NOT a security guards job to identify bodies
Awwwe Charlie 🥺🥰
That's one heck of a mustache there buddy!
Michael St.Clair ... protected.
How can that horrible man Jim put his kid up for adoption?! The mother isn’t dead so how was that even legal!! That was fucked up. Spiteful spiteful man! I’m so sick of men and women using and punishing their spouse when it all ends up doing is hurting the kids. Horrible thing to have happened
💯💯💯💯
Jesus the thumbnail so scary! As scary as the show!
It’s been changed lol
oh charlie... god bless his soul up there in heaven... such a beautiful beautiful person
"Tondevold" hired the chauffeur and killed him. Probably a lookalike. He's off somewhere shopping it again to someone else. Some scam. Also killed the poor dog. Disgusting
That was one of the best episodes I've seen in a very very long time
"single non smoker non fat" eh? They actually printed that?! Rude.
cry
Shouldn't the lady's bank have contacted her before she was completly emptied of her money?
😐
She gave him power of attorney then he simply transferred the money to offshore accounts or to Europe.
I love seeing it when some of these are solved.
Charlie was a good guy. God bless his soul. R.I.P.
Seriously they gave him custody just so he could flog the kids to god knows who? Ridiculous. Whatever that guy said, his father sued his mother out of sheer malice and didn't care what it did to his kids... "wholesome individual" indeed...
Looks like the mom was none too keen to find both her sons for the next four decades.
Yeah, he was a real peach
He seemed cold hearted as hell maybe that's why the mother strayed in the first place. But why give up one child and keep the other?!? 😢😢😢😢
Maybe dad suspected the youngest boy did not belong to him.
I understand the mom messed up, but the dad was a straight douchebag
Annie are you okay are you okay annie
My family is still hurt on the 1st of the stories in this video. My aunt is the one killed in Milan TN around the 6.34 min mark of the video. We still don't have any answers as if Sept 2022
Sorry for your loss ❤️
Michael St. Clair was Sentenced to death in Kentucky on September 14, 1998. Overturned in 2004. Re-sentenced to death on September 30, 2005. Overturned in April 2010 .
Damn thats a lot of changes!
@@tonylopez-russell2631 I know lol. I thought I read it wrong at first myself . It's crazy.
snip snap snip snap 🤣
Kmt
Isn't our legal system grand?
aww that was so sad but i love the ending why he kept moving the lil girls made no sense they were in a good home just leave them there and come and visit them. you could see he had no stability that's why he put them in an orphanage. i'm just glad that the man got to see one of them before he died.
Unsolved. After the broadcast, Jim was put in contact with a distant relative of Annie's. The relative stated that she had been searching for him as well. However, this relative has since lost contact with her. If she is still alive, she would now be 92 years old.
