One of my best friends had died years ago, we were really close. I remember not longer after she had died, I had a dream where we were playing in a meadow, and then we walked and came upon this gate, and she said I couldn't come any further.
The pic from the update of Rodger and Jean made me cry, bc you could see so much love between the 2 of them, even though they'd been apart for 30 years. I hated the "lost love" segments growing up, but now they are some of the most heart warming things I've ever watched.
It tore my heart apart when Rodger said, "mommy, I don't want to go!" I don't know how the family didn't break down at that moment. I would've collapsed. Hell, when my ex dumped me and I had to get my stuff, I was sobbing when I saw his cats because they were like my children and I knew I was never going to see them again.
@@ZeranZeran I miss my ex’s cats too. It’s been almost 8 years since I’ve seen those cats and they’re never far from my mind. I moved in with my fiancé in October of 2022 and not even a month later, we adopted 2 beautiful cats from our local shelter. They are my babies and I can’t imagine life without them.
Rodger ended up living with the Spanish family ten years and learned the language, but he said it was an unhappy home. He left at 16 and was homeless a while. Eventually he got training as a mechanic and moved to Florida, where he married. Jean divorced and also ended up in Florida, not far from him. He always and still considers her his mom. She died in 2018 and her obituary lists her children and Rodger as well.
Wtf is wrong with our foster care system? That story was so sad. If his family can't take care of him, he should have been able to leave the state. Poor boy finally got comfortable and then ripped away to a bunch of people he's never met, and can never talk to. Wtf were they thinking? "We have to be more inclusive!" - NO. This is just cruel. Switch the races around and it would be on the news as a hate crime.
@@ZeranZeran our whole country is a flaming bag of dogshit, and the government uses the same propaganda they teach us in school that communist countries use including denying things that absolutely happened. There isn't any hope angle
I wish my Nana would come to me in a dream She was a fan Of Unsolved Mysteries She loved Robert Stack I still watch Unsolved Mysteries till this day remembering my childhood watching it my Nana
I hope your Nana will come to you in a dream too. I have wonderful memories watching Robert Stack at my grandparents' house. i consider myself very fortunate that I have had dreams of my grandparents. But they happen when I least expect it. Dolores
I watched these with my Nana too. I would spend up to a week at a time at her and my Papa’s house, the best times of my life. We’d watch this show at night together. She passed away on September 15, 2021. It shattered my heart. I miss her so much. I’ve only had a couple of brief dreams about her, I’d love to have more.
Sure are a lot of serial killers from Washington. About 15 years ago I was dating this girl who lived near Mt. Hood and she told me that when her mother was a young lady she was hanging out at a lake in Washington called Sammamish lake. A man approached her with a cast on his arm and asked her if she'd help him get a canoe from the roof of his car. She said that his eyes really creeped her out so she made up an excuse as to why she couldn't help. It was Ted Bundy and he abducted and murdered another woman from the beach who did go back to his car. Moral of the story...trust your instincts when something doesn't feel right.
christian, I was in my 20s and living in Tacoma when Ted Bundy abducted women at Lake Sammamish and other places around Seattle. I later had friends in the 1980s who went to high school with him. He grew up in Tacoma. I actually think I met Gary Ridgeway once and did have a friend in Yakima who worked for the same big rig trucking company as him. Best I remember Ridgeway painted the trucks. The company was located on the Sea-Tac strip where he picked up most of his victims. The state HAS had more than its share of high profile serial killers. There are others.
CEDL4072, I have had these kinds of dreams with my Mother and Father. The thing is, I have dreams all the time. Most I do not even remember them. When my Mother and Father visited me, it was so real, that even now, years later, I still remember them and the details.
I've had dreams of my late father and grandparents throughout the years. In fact, right before my maternal grandmother died some years back, I had this very interesting dream about my late great-grandmother, grandma's mom. It was as if she was making a visit...me, my mother and my grandmother were sitting on a couch in my mother's living room and my great-grandmother walks in as if she was there to meet with, collect, my grandmother. I remember in the dream we were all hugging, embracing each other...a few weeks later my grandmother was gone. What's weird is I didn't really know my great-grandma growing up. We unfortunately never had the opportunity to meet, she died thousands of miles away in a different state when I was eleven years old. I only knew her from pictures and family stories. So I definitely believe in the possibility of these supernatural things. Maybe this lady did have the special privilege of getting to know her grandpa in the beyond.
I wish i could talk to my daddy, even if in dreams. He was almost ready to come home from a rehabilitation center cuz he had surgery, and his incision wouldn't heal, but he was almost ready to come home, and I hate the hospital so I didn't go very much, because we thought he was getting better and the morning he died I had been planning to go to see him that afternoon. It bothers me to this day. I never got to tell him good-bye, and I hope he wasn't mad at me for not coming to visit as much as I should have. I shouldn't have let life get in the way, but if I would have known what I know now. I would have been there everyday! I kiss you daddy and hope you're not mad. I live you so much. I hope that in the afterworld that you can see or hear this. Even if it's wishful thinking. If he came to me in my dream n told me it was ok and I could tell him I love him one last time that'd be the most important thing in this life for me!! So she's a very lucky lady!
@Texas_Raised_ Texas _Made I know he's not mad at me, because of the way he was in life, but k still feel very guilty for not going to the hospital and visiting. I was his favorite kid so I should have. But I was pregnant when he passed away, and had just found out, and actually the last time I did go to see him was the day I found out I was gonna have a baby, and so of course my hubby knew, but nobody else. So I raced over to the hospital and told him, and he seemed happy for us, but he was more out of it than he should have been cuz the nurse said he had been complaining of pain all day so they gave him some kind of intravenous Xanax type stuff. I can't remember what she called it, but anyways he woke up and I told him and I waited there for him to wake up again, but I fell asleep in the chair and woke up and a few hrs had passed, and I had a 4 yr old at the time too so I had to run to get her from the babysitter, but I just wish he woulda been more lucid that day cuz that was the last time I saw him and I didn't wake him when I left to tell him bye because she said he needed his rest and if he woke up he'd start hollering he was in pain to give him something so she didn't want me messing with him. I regret listening to that nurse. I shoulda told him I loved him and gave him a big hug and kiss, but I didn't! Oh n I ended up having a little boy, and before my dad passed I wanted to name him Joseph after my husband and Curtis for my daddy. N he went by Curtis but it was his middle name. He hated his first name Robert. But I thought it was a funny coincidence you named your babe after your dad's middle name too! Lol!
I cant stop watching all of these. they are the best and take me back to my child hood I was born in 1985 but grew up watching all of these Robert Stack is the man r.i.p
They need to bring back excellent shows like this. All of the episodes were presented tastefully and without bias. Now the shows are highly dramatized, or hyperfixated on a topic like UFOs. UM was balanced.
It’s so trippy to watch this episode & the whole time knowing who the Green River Killer actually was. Hearing this guy spout off some of these kooky conspiracy theories just makes me giggle.
no sheet. but can you imagine your own brother giving your name to the police? and still insisting it's you even after DNA proves it was Ridgeway? lol. that's gotta make for the most awkward holiday dinners after that scene.
So warming for this program to be on the TV in those old generation. So happy for the little boy Roger finally found his foster mum that even just look after him only a couple of years. I am feeling so happy for everyone in that family. The beautiful foster mum, dad and siblings.
I laugh that they act like that is some crazy psychic revelation she could have never known, but it's not like the guy died before she was even born. She was 10 years old. That's plenty old enough to know that your grandpa likes french toast.
Anything family linked to the Kennedy's is seemingly ABOVE the law and are so arrogant in that belief. Corrupt as all fuck, just like the U.S. judicial system and the U.S. Government.
The Martha Moxley case is the inspiration for the very first episode of "Cold Case." The TV show is fiction, but it's inspired by real-life cases (similar to "Law & Order").
They just wanted to pin it on him because, he was weird and fucked up but, by all counts innocent. He wasn't wrong about prostitutes passing std but, they could never trace him back to any murders so, who cares if he hates women and wants to see them dead. It's law enforcement not, precrime enforcement. Loner doesn't equal killer. Sad. In the time they blew on Bill Stevens they almost let Gary Ridgeway getaway and he likely killed more women in the time wasted.
@@coreym162Actually the police didn't believe he was the killer. His own brother was convinced he was the killer even after giving him an alibi saying he used their parents to get away with the murder. He could of got his brother sent back to prison if police decided to listen to him
kinda makes you wonder WHAT ELSE they are wrong about? if you watch the updates, you will notice the theories "unsolved mysteries" pushed in the original segment are almost ALWAYS WRONG. in every missing person case, they promote the stupid idea of; a satanic cult, a biker gang or drug dealers killed the person because they "knew too much". this NEVER turns out to be the case. it's either a random killer or they drove into a lake and when there is a drought they find them.
sure did. that's the excuse the govt used to pass the "patriot act" so they could literally spy on any and all American citizens. and... here we are today.. what a great thing we had going. sure we had our faults but who doesn't. now we might as well start learning to speak mandarin
also..I was in a motel room in Colorado Springs that morning. watched it all go down on the news. that's a day I'll never forget as long as my brain doesn't fail me In old age
Srsly these foster stories are so heartbreaking every time. The trauma that was inflicted just so casually... as if children have no souls. And the good foster parents too. That mom was still hurting so bad. I'm glad they were reunited but it doesn't erase the trauma sadly😢
You think that’s bad? There’s people who somehow trick the system to become foster parents just so they can get a freaking check every month and not use it towards the child(ren) being fostered. I knew someone who said he had a corrupt neighbor who was fostering a couple of kids and this neighbor neglected them horribly. Basically made them stay outside all day while they stayed inside counting their money and yelling at them. My friend couldn’t report them because this was before smartphones were easily accessible and he couldn’t present concrete evidence of abuse. Those shitty people give good foster parents a bad name.
@@YouAreGoingToLoseMe87Exactly. The saddest stories are when children are taken during the Great Depression when most of the country was unemployed. Instead of helping, they hurt people.
Not just Connecticut, I live not far from the original Woodstock site and in the county I live in, a cop got probation for molesting a minor. An ex judge hit 3 teenagers killing 2 of them and leaving the other hurt pretty bad and was never arrested or charged with anything until about 2 years later and then he was charged with some kind a bullshit charge that was a fine. Six months prior to the ex judge hitting the teenagers he had hit a woman who suffers from injuries and was never charged or given any tickets or anything.
All it takes is the right person committing a crime.Getting on the phone and making a few phone calls, or go in person and shake a few hands and that’s that.The town where I grew up in, we had a mayor election one year and even as a kid I knew who was going to win.That man died in a car “ accident “
Same thing happened to Michael Skakel, that POS who murdered Martha Moxley in Greenwich, CT back in the 1970s. Dude got away with it for so long and finally got locked up, only to be released 11 years later due to a retrial. Her killer was the nephew of Ethel Skakel Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy’s widow. I guess when you have connections to the Kennedy’s money and name, you can get away with anything. If this was someone like you and me, we’d be locked up and never see the light of day ever again. This justice system sucks and it needs to be fixed!
I love the story of Jean looking for Rogers there are not lot of people like Jean . I am so glad Roger was found. Jean is such incredible mom. I know Roger was found but any updates on the family?
@christy19802660123 The update for Roger and the other siblings also his father were reunited in this link. The update started half way through this video. ruclips.net/video/2ll2NwzviZk/видео.html
As someone born and raised in connecticut it’s unfathomable to me skakel got off. I thought he was still in jail. This states government is more corrupt than anyone can possibly imagine at all levels. It’s why we’re a financial disaster.
I lost it when they told the foster parents that Rodger couldn't leave with them but also that he would be placed in a different temp foster home because they still hadn't found a permanent foster home. What do you mean? The original foster parents wanted to be his permanent foster home. Insanity. And then the spanish "temp foster home" ended up becoming his permanent home. So ridiculous. I'm glad they were able to reconnect
OMG, DR LEE!! I LOVE DR LEE!!! He is on several Forensic files episodes. I love how, no matter how long he is in America, he keeps his awesome (and adorable) accent! Plus, he's like top OG in his field, and I'm juuuuust nerdy enough to appreciate that....lol
@@davebing5120 I watch/love watching Forensic Files because Peter Thomas' voice puts me to sleep... it's literally mentioned in my sleep plan with my Neurologist... lol
Roderick Thorpe at 12:30 wrote the 1966 novel The Detective which was made into a film starring Frank Sinatra. The novels sequel, Nothing Lasts Forever was reworked and became the basis for Die Hard in 1988.
That story if the reunion between foster mother and son was so heartwarming. I could feel the love she felt for him through her words. I was so glad they were able to give a happy ending to the story.
Just imagine how happy Gary Ridgeway must have been watching this in 1995? And what if Gary hadn't left his DNA? William Stevens could have easily been convicted as there was a lot of circumstancel evidence
It just goes to show, we can't identify criminals through things like psychological profiling or circumstantial evidence. Ridgway had a wife, a child, a steady job, and while he had a criminal record, it was for soliciting a prostitute, not any violent crimes.
I could bet Gary Ridgway was watching this episode when it aired and chucking to himself. BTK probably was too. He was obsessed with other serial killers.
How can you send a young child to a strange family who can't even talk to him? There had to be some place better to send him, especially when your yanking him away from the only family he knows.
She wasn’t allowed to adopt Roger because he had family, yet the family didn’t take him, he had to go to another foster home that spoke only Spanish; Lame. She should have gotten a lawyer! How tragic.
It's amazing it took several years after this Unsolved Mystery episodes aired to catch Gary Ridgway 😮 the other dude was still convinced his brother did it.....
My dad and my grandma visited me when they died. My dad just told me he loved me, and my grandma told me to not be afraid to live my life. I had a grandfather who died in a car accident before I was born, visited me. He was not very nice to my grandma while he was alive. In the dream he was crying saying how sorry he was for the way he acted. It was weird.
True, he led the cops to more bodies, which may otherwise have never been recovered. The real mystery is why he stopped killing (or slowed way down) after the early 80s. Most serial killers will 'escalate' as they progress.
@cadecrash the police and the courts wanted to give him the death penalty. But the families were desperate to find their missing daughters the police gave Gary Ridgeway a deal stating that if Gary helps police recover the other bodies he buried so the families can put their loved ones to rest, they promised not to give him the death penalty. Gary Ridgeway helped the police find a couple bodies but he couldn't remember where he buried all of them because he killed so many. Gary Ridgeway evaded police for 20 years.
That whole family is cursed. All of these bad things have happened to them, like JFK losing his older brother in war, his sister Rosemary being lobotomized and thrown into a mental institution due to her having mood swings as a result of her being cut off from oxygen when she was being born, JFK being assassinated, RFK being killed, Martha Moxley being murdered by Michael Skakel and JFK Jr dying in a plane crash with his wife and sister in law.
It's possible that Stevens was some kind of copycat killer who was inspired by Ridgeway. With Stevens background and criminal profile it seems almost incomprehensible that he wasn't responsible for at least some of the Green River slayings, again inspired by Ridgeway's original murder spree. Ridgeway himself admits he doesn't remember a vast number of the victims he took credit for killing.
Love the stories with michelle and her grandpa. Many years ago after my grandma passed on, I had “conversations” with her in my head. At times I thought I was going crazy, but maybe not. I wish she would come back for conversations or just to say “hello” again.
@@KrysDlite Funny, I do have a kid of my own and wanted a big family but health issues put that to an end. I don't get why some religious ppl say adoption is a bad thing when Moses was adopted and well, one has to live under a rock to not know who he was you don't even have to have read a page of the bible in your entire life to know that. I just feel no one cares about too many children that get lost into a system where they are just treated like a number and nothing else and if more ppl could give these poor souls a home even if temporarily maybe the world would be a different place.....
@@KrysDlite and adoption only promotes over population by taking some I be else's bastards throw away and runaways alike it tells people okay be lazy I'll take all your Friday night fuck ups ...hell no...not a good ending solution..
In 2001, investigators re-examining the case looked at some of the early suspects in the case. They discovered that they had the DNA of suspect Gary Leon Ridgway on file. Ridgway first became a suspect after a boyfriend of one of the victims identified him as the man she was last seen with. However, investigators did not have enough evidence to charge him at the time. DNA testing confirmed that Ridgway was the Green River Killer and he was arrested on November 30. Along with the DNA evidence, testing on paint found on some of the victims showed that it was the same paint that Ridgway had used at one of his jobs during the early 1980s. After his arrest, Ridgway confessed to murdering over 48 women. In 2003, he pleaded guilty to the murders and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. In 2011, he was connected to a forty-ninth murder; he later pleaded guilty to that murder as well. He is currently a suspect in several other unsolved murders; investigators believe he may have killed up to ninety women. William Stevens is no longer a suspect in the Green River Killings, but his brother Bob still thinks he's connected to the case. Roderick Thorp died in 1999 of a massive heart attack, not living to see the outcome of this case.
It's too bad that they can not charge Ridgeway with that 49th murder, take him to trial and get him a sentence they should have given him in the first place. death.
They thought Gary Ridgway or whomever did the killings didn't act alone Google Randy Achziger he was thought also to have contributed to the killings did they coerce Ridgway to confess yes they did notice how he lawyered up and told everyone he's innocent then all of a sudden oh I committed 90+ murders it was thought within the dept that the killer couldn't have acted alone...... definitely wasn't William Stevens though.Seems like his brother was trying to retaliate against his brother photos & tapes mean nothing lol there are all types of creepers that do just that
Hotdog!! I love this show & Stack's creepy self!! Anyone else ever sat back and thought about how many people are just missing?? Enough for this show to have several seasons as well as other shows and a huge part of missing people dont even make it to the media. Scary
The Roger adoption case is brutally sad I can’t even watch it anymore. I am glad for the happy ending but the scene where he is taken away is heartbreaking
I feel bad for this poor s.o.a.b. they were publicly profiling as the Green River Killer - DNA later proved that Gary Ridgeway is the killer. He must have been just rolling on the floor laughing while watching this episode. :( That's not to say that Stevens wasn't a twisted puppy all on his own.
I can't even imagine what it was like for Bill to see his own brother trying to convince all of America on National wide television that he was a serial killer 😂 talk About sibling revivaly!
Watching these episodes just infuriates me to no end! The amount of cases that really seem like they were never really investigated are absolutely insane to me! I really need to stop watching them.
"Why did he change his story 20 years later" He changed his story 20 years later because he learned about DNA testing so he now had to change his story incase they tested her and found his DNA inside of her. It's pretty obvious
Wish I could see the embarrassed look on the brother and P.I.'s faces, when they learned that Bill Stevens was innocent, after they had been so sure AND professed it on national TV lol. This is why you can never be 100% positive of something you didn't witness nor have evidence to conclude. You always have to do your own reasearch and even then you can't be sure. Always give benefit of the doubt. This is a good example of why "innocent until proven guilty" is extremely important. What was that P.I. smoking to think Stevens was a police informant? He went from ~positive he was about to solve one of the largest serial killer cases in US history~ to probably questioning all he ever knew😂 ..poor guy🤣
That hardly matters to Michelle, who credits the visions of her Grandfather with teaching her the true meaning of family. Next, a special report. This man believes he has evidence that the Green River Killer was his own brother.
I do not know how taking a child from a loving healthy home for no reason -- as it pertains to any of the principals there benefits the child -- and the family he or she departed from
I wonder why Gary Ridgeway a.k.a. The Green River killer, murdered all these women; what was his motive. I have to research this horrible case. Poor ladies, they were killed for no reason at all. May all the 48 victims Rest in Peace forever 🙏
Right after my grandmother passed I had a dream about my grandfather and he told me to tell my dad that "he knows my dad fulfilled the promises he made to him at the hospital". I called my dad as soon as I woke up and my dad started crying and said I promised my dad I would take care of my mother for the rest of her life. He also said to me do you realize today marks 8 years since grandpa passed? I didn't
The Michael Skakel case was sickening. Because they were related to the Kennedy family, this man Michael, got away with murder. I am pretty sure that the “Kennedy’s influence” played a big role and was a big factor that Michael Skakel didn’t serve the 20 years. Money talks, and when the rich get into trouble, they will get away with anything. Sadly, that’s reality. Rest in Peace always Martha 🙏💐
One of the most fascinating things about watching these episodes many years later is that so many of the cases have been solved. There’s quite a few common threads I’ve noticed. 1. Witnesses are extremely unreliable. So many witnesses claim to see missing people who turned out to have been murdered within a short time of going missing. 2. Spouses who are suspects in a murder almost always turn out to be guilty, despite family claims to innocence. 3. Many families refuse to believe suicide as a viable explanation for their loved one’s death even when all evidence points to that. 4. Psychics and conspiracy theorists are almost always wrong, as evidenced in this episode and the Green River Killer. 5. Many murders turn out to be crimes of opportunity by complete strangers. As an example, the high profile case of Mia Zapata, there were many elaborate theories about what might have happened but it turned out to be a complete random attack, with no previous relationship between the murderer and Mia.
@Josh Kolbo 'Dead ringer' means an exact look-alike. It's an old saying that comes from horse racing - when a horse would die, shady owners would replace them with another identical horse (called 'ringers') in order to prevent losing money.
I do believe in visitations of some one that had passed on . As a few months after my son Stuart went to be with God , he visited my son David and our family, in 1979 . He said that he is well and that he came to let us know that all was well with him and that we will see him again one day and of other members of families
It is not possible to communicate with the dead. It is possible to communicate with demons that walked beside certain people all of their life though, and this should not be done. This video that even children might see should not be allowed on you tube at all.
That was fucked up, they could take roger with him because he had family in the area, but noooo he not gonna be staying with any family, he gonna stay with some non English speaking family and start all over again instead of staying with you all permanently. Wtf?
26:13-I've seen this happen a million times. The kid lives with the foster parents since infancy, assumes the foster parents are his real family, then the foster parents divorce or have to move away, and he's removed and re-homed.
God bless the creators of this show, re-uniting families who were separated by unfortunate circumstances. Also bringing criminals to justice.
One of my best friends had died years ago, we were really close. I remember not longer after she had died, I had a dream where we were playing in a meadow, and then we walked and came upon this gate, and she said I couldn't come any further.
That's the kind of thing that really stays with you.

@@robinbrl That's amazing!
I've had dreams of my late father and grandparents throughout the years. In fact, right before my maternal grandmother died some years back, I had this very interesting dream about my late great-grandmother, grandma's mom. It was as if she was making a visit...me, my mother and my grandmother were sitting on a couch in my mother's living room and my great-grandmother walks in as if she was there to meet with, collect, my grandmother. I remember in the dream we were all hugging, embracing each other...a few weeks later my grandmother was gone. What's weird is I didn't really know my great-grandma growing up. We unfortunately never had the opportunity to meet, she died thousands of miles away in a different state when I was eleven years old. I only knew her from pictures and family stories. So I definitely believe in the possibility of these supernatural things. Maybe this lady did have the special privilege of getting to know her grandpa in the beyond.
I wish i could talk to my daddy, even if in dreams. He was almost ready to come home from a rehabilitation center cuz he had surgery, and his incision wouldn't heal, but he was almost ready to come home, and I hate the hospital so I didn't go very much, because we thought he was getting better and the morning he died I had been planning to go to see him that afternoon. It bothers me to this day. I never got to tell him good-bye, and I hope he wasn't mad at me for not coming to visit as much as I should have. I shouldn't have let life get in the way, but if I would have known what I know now. I would have been there everyday! I kiss you daddy and hope you're not mad. I live you so much. I hope that in the afterworld that you can see or hear this. Even if it's wishful thinking. If he came to me in my dream n told me it was ok and I could tell him I love him one last time that'd be the most important thing in this life for me!! So she's a very lucky lady!
@Texas_Raised_ Texas _Made I know he's not mad at me, because of the way he was in life, but k still feel very guilty for not going to the hospital and visiting. I was his favorite kid so I should have. But I was pregnant when he passed away, and had just found out, and actually the last time I did go to see him was the day I found out I was gonna have a baby, and so of course my hubby knew, but nobody else. So I raced over to the hospital and told him, and he seemed happy for us, but he was more out of it than he should have been cuz the nurse said he had been complaining of pain all day so they gave him some kind of intravenous Xanax type stuff. I can't remember what she called it, but anyways he woke up and I told him and I waited there for him to wake up again, but I fell asleep in the chair and woke up and a few hrs had passed, and I had a 4 yr old at the time too so I had to run to get her from the babysitter, but I just wish he woulda been more lucid that day cuz that was the last time I saw him and I didn't wake him when I left to tell him bye because she said he needed his rest and if he woke up he'd start hollering he was in pain to give him something so she didn't want me messing with him. I regret listening to that nurse. I shoulda told him I loved him and gave him a big hug and kiss, but I didn't! Oh n I ended up having a little boy, and before my dad passed I wanted to name him Joseph after my husband and Curtis for my daddy. N he went by Curtis but it was his middle name. He hated his first name Robert. But I thought it was a funny coincidence you named your babe after your dad's middle name too! Lol!
I cant stop watching all of these. they are the best and take me back to my child hood I was born in 1985 but grew up watching all of these Robert Stack is the man r.i.p
Watch the first 4 or 5 seasons. Those were the best UM cases with Robert Stack
They need to bring back excellent shows like this. All of the episodes were presented tastefully and without bias. Now the shows are highly dramatized, or hyperfixated on a topic like UFOs. UM was balanced.
2:30 Direct Contact. 10:56 Green River Killer. 21:41 Foster Son. 28:44 Murder in CT
You're the MVP
Thanks as always puss ❤
It’s so trippy to watch this episode & the whole time knowing who the Green River Killer actually was. Hearing this guy spout off some of these kooky conspiracy theories just makes me giggle.
That one was weird too. I am sure he did his share.
no sheet. but can you imagine your own brother giving your name to the police? and still insisting it's you even after DNA proves it was Ridgeway? lol. that's gotta make for the most awkward holiday dinners after that scene.
@@cautionTosser no for real 😂😂🤣
Yeah maybe the guy was on the phone for hours discussing the murders with his friends or even Gary ridgeway himself lol
@@kriskalbfleisch5020 Ridgeway has actually been known to fib about the amount of women he killed so it's possible
So warming for this program to be on the TV in those old generation. So happy for the little boy Roger finally found his foster mum that even just look after him only a couple of years. I am feeling so happy for everyone in that family. The beautiful foster mum, dad and siblings.
Update: Michelle still hasn't made French toast
GrieviousGeorge And Greg never got his lucky pencil back. 😢
lol
I laugh that they act like that is some crazy psychic revelation she could have never known, but it's not like the guy died before she was even born. She was 10 years old. That's plenty old enough to know that your grandpa likes french toast.
😂😂
lol! What a weak opening story.
So easy to picture Robert Stack as his famous role of Elliott Ness, telling these cases as if he was familiar with them.
The neighbor murdered Martha Moxley. Frustrating to see how rich people get away with crime easily!
@Chris_Gullett fuck off chris , nobody cares
Did he really tell police 20 years later that he snuck back out and got head from her?? Pompous fuck!
@Chris_Gullett What doesn't add up exactly?
Anything family linked to the Kennedy's is seemingly ABOVE the law and are so arrogant in that belief. Corrupt as all fuck, just like the U.S. judicial system and the U.S. Government.
@Chris_Gullett what happened in your life that made you so angry sir? I suggest therapy.
The Martha Moxley case is the inspiration for the very first episode of "Cold Case." The TV show is fiction, but it's inspired by real-life cases (similar to "Law & Order").
If I ever come back with important messages from the Afterlife, I hope it's something better than lucky pencils and french toast.
@Suq Madiq People do and say anything to be on tv even back then lol
😂😂
Agreed. What bs is this? Haha
Grandpa send me some lotto numbers or a stock tip.
Yall don't believe in the afterlife?
Boy they had the Green River Killer wrong huh? Was Gary Ridgeway.
They just wanted to pin it on him because, he was weird and fucked up but, by all counts innocent. He wasn't wrong about prostitutes passing std but, they could never trace him back to any murders so, who cares if he hates women and wants to see them dead. It's law enforcement not, precrime enforcement. Loner doesn't equal killer. Sad. In the time they blew on Bill Stevens they almost let Gary Ridgeway getaway and he likely killed more women in the time wasted.
@@coreym162Actually the police didn't believe he was the killer. His own brother was convinced he was the killer even after giving him an alibi saying he used their parents to get away with the murder. He could of got his brother sent back to prison if police decided to listen to him
Lady T Wonder how embarrassed he feels now.
That detective was adamant that Bill was not the killer. He was like "weird, yeah, criminal, of course... green river killer... nope!"
kinda makes you wonder WHAT ELSE they are wrong about? if you watch the updates, you will notice the theories "unsolved mysteries" pushed in the original segment are almost ALWAYS WRONG. in every missing person case, they promote the stupid idea of; a satanic cult, a biker gang or drug dealers killed the person because they "knew too much". this NEVER turns out to be the case. it's either a random killer or they drove into a lake and when there is a drought they find them.
What happens when we die? We meet Robert Stack
O_____O
I can dig it.
You did not 😭
You go to heaven or hell. Like to think stack was saved and is in heaven

I love the guy just hope his ❤️ is rite or we won't be meeting anywhere ✝️🛐
I miss being a kid watching these and America’s most wanted in the 90’s. Good times, every thing went to shit after 9/11
Amen, yo. ✌️
sure did. that's the excuse the govt used to pass the "patriot act" so they could literally spy on any and all American citizens. and... here we are today.. what a great thing we had going. sure we had our faults but who doesn't. now we might as well start learning to speak mandarin
also..I was in a motel room in Colorado Springs that morning. watched it all go down on the news. that's a day I'll never forget as long as my brain doesn't fail me In old age
That's what it was supposed to do.
God, you can say that again. I had just turned 20. Right as I was becoming an adult, the world went to Hell.
Srsly these foster stories are so heartbreaking every time. The trauma that was inflicted just so casually... as if children have no souls. And the good foster parents too. That mom was still hurting so bad. I'm glad they were reunited but it doesn't erase the trauma sadly😢
Now imagine their real bio parents. Kids aren't property to be taken
You think that’s bad? There’s people who somehow trick the system to become foster parents just so they can get a freaking check every month and not use it towards the child(ren) being fostered. I knew someone who said he had a corrupt neighbor who was fostering a couple of kids and this neighbor neglected them horribly. Basically made them stay outside all day while they stayed inside counting their money and yelling at them. My friend couldn’t report them because this was before smartphones were easily accessible and he couldn’t present concrete evidence of abuse. Those shitty people give good foster parents a bad name.
@@YouAreGoingToLoseMe87Exactly. The saddest stories are when children are taken during the Great Depression when most of the country was unemployed. Instead of helping, they hurt people.
Connecticut is so corrupt. That guy only served about half of his sentence because he is wealthy with connections.
It’s shady af that money can get you out of disgusting murders
Not just Connecticut, I live not far from the original Woodstock site and in the county I live in, a cop got probation for molesting a minor. An ex judge hit 3 teenagers killing 2 of them and leaving the other hurt pretty bad and was never arrested or charged with anything until about 2 years later and then he was charged with some kind a bullshit charge that was a fine. Six months prior to the ex judge hitting the teenagers he had hit a woman who suffers from injuries and was never charged or given any tickets or anything.
All it takes is the right person committing a crime.Getting on the phone and making a few phone calls, or go in person and shake a few hands and that’s that.The town where I grew up in, we had a mayor election one year and even as a kid I knew who was going to win.That man died in a car “ accident “
The stinking rich do this all over the world with impunity.
Same thing happened to Michael Skakel, that POS who murdered Martha Moxley in Greenwich, CT back in the 1970s. Dude got away with it for so long and finally got locked up, only to be released 11 years later due to a retrial. Her killer was the nephew of Ethel Skakel Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy’s widow. I guess when you have connections to the Kennedy’s money and name, you can get away with anything. If this was someone like you and me, we’d be locked up and never see the light of day ever again. This justice system sucks and it needs to be fixed!
I love the story of Jean looking for Rogers there are not lot of people like Jean . I am so glad Roger was found. Jean is such incredible mom. I know Roger was found but any updates on the family?
I was they didn't talk about him and his sister getting to reunite. She seemed to really miss and love him a lot.

As someone born and raised in connecticut it’s unfathomable to me skakel got off. I thought he was still in jail. This states government is more corrupt than anyone can possibly imagine at all levels. It’s why we’re a financial disaster.
I wonder if Gary Ridgway ever saw this episode... 🤔
More than likely! I wouldn't be surprised a lot of serial killers would watch the news or read the paper about what they've done!
I’m sure he did.All of them psychos are too egotistical to pass up hearing their names on National tv.
Probably, most likely
He was probably laughing his ass off.
@@CosmicSirenMandi They all do. It's a way to keep up with what police know.
I lost it when they told the foster parents that Rodger couldn't leave with them but also that he would be placed in a different temp foster home because they still hadn't found a permanent foster home. What do you mean? The original foster parents wanted to be his permanent foster home. Insanity. And then the spanish "temp foster home" ended up becoming his permanent home. So ridiculous. I'm glad they were able to reconnect
OMG, DR LEE!! I LOVE DR LEE!!! He is on several Forensic files episodes. I love how, no matter how long he is in America, he keeps his awesome (and adorable) accent! Plus, he's like top OG in his field, and I'm juuuuust nerdy enough to appreciate that....lol

Roderick Thorpe at 12:30 wrote the 1966 novel The Detective which was made into a film starring Frank Sinatra. The novels sequel, Nothing Lasts Forever was reworked and became the basis for Die Hard in 1988.
That story if the reunion between foster mother and son was so heartwarming. I could feel the love she felt for him through her words. I was so glad they were able to give a happy ending to the story.

Just imagine how happy Gary Ridgeway must have been watching this in 1995? And what if Gary hadn't left his DNA? William Stevens could have easily been convicted as there was a lot of circumstancel evidence
Gary was laughing his asp off watching this. And you know he watched to see if he was on there, or the story.
It just goes to show, we can't identify criminals through things like psychological profiling or circumstantial evidence. Ridgway had a wife, a child, a steady job, and while he had a criminal record, it was for soliciting a prostitute, not any violent crimes.
Your right Gary ridgeway was hoping William stevens got convicted
Did you not hear that detective? They absolutely did not believe in any way shape or form that Bill was the green river killer.
Oh look! A happy foster child! Let me just *destroy* that immediately.
I could bet Gary Ridgway was watching this episode when it aired and chucking to himself. BTK probably was too. He was obsessed with other serial killers.
That's actually kind of funny. I never even thought of that.
I wish my grandpa hung out with me in my dreams I miss you so much grandpa 🥺
How can you send a young child to a strange family who can't even talk to him? There had to be some place better to send him, especially when your yanking him away from the only family he knows.
She wasn’t allowed to adopt Roger because he had family, yet the family didn’t take him, he had to go to another foster home that spoke only Spanish; Lame. She should have gotten a lawyer! How tragic.
They should have spoken to Roger’s family and ask permission to adopt him.
The real and actor who portrayed Rodger were ADORABLE!!!!!😘
It's amazing it took several years after this Unsolved Mystery episodes aired to catch Gary Ridgway 😮 the other dude was still convinced his brother did it.....

My dad and my grandma visited me when they died. My dad just told me he loved me, and my grandma told me to not be afraid to live my life. I had a grandfather who died in a car accident before I was born, visited me. He was not very nice to my grandma while he was alive. In the dream he was crying saying how sorry he was for the way he acted. It was weird.
Knowing Gary Ridgway is the GRK makes this segment even more entertaining and scary.
It must be hell for the dead dealing with all the echoing.
😂😂😂😂😂
Murdering 48 women and doesn't get the death penalty?
he agreed to plea guilty in order to escape it.
They would want to give a deal because it would solve way more deaths.
True, he led the cops to more bodies, which may otherwise have never been recovered.
The real mystery is why he stopped killing (or slowed way down) after the early 80s. Most serial killers will 'escalate' as they progress.
@cadecrash the police and the courts wanted to give him the death penalty. But the families were desperate to find their missing daughters the police gave Gary Ridgeway a deal stating that if Gary helps police recover the other bodies he buried so the families can put their loved ones to rest, they promised not to give him the death penalty. Gary Ridgeway helped the police find a couple bodies but he couldn't remember where he buried all of them because he killed so many. Gary Ridgeway evaded police for 20 years.
How in the world are you going to send a kid that only speaks English to live with a family that only speaks Spanish?
Si, es muy Fuerte
Diversity.
On the last story, the Kennedy family is very shady.
That whole family is cursed. All of these bad things have happened to them, like JFK losing his older brother in war, his sister Rosemary being lobotomized and thrown into a mental institution due to her having mood swings as a result of her being cut off from oxygen when she was being born, JFK being assassinated, RFK being killed, Martha Moxley being murdered by Michael Skakel and JFK Jr dying in a plane crash with his wife and sister in law.
It's possible that Stevens was some kind of copycat killer who was inspired by Ridgeway. With Stevens background and criminal profile it seems almost incomprehensible that he wasn't responsible for at least some of the Green River slayings, again inspired by Ridgeway's original murder spree. Ridgeway himself admits he doesn't remember a vast number of the victims he took credit for killing.
Bingo.it was thought among the dept Ridgway did not act alone.Stevens could be a copycat so could randy achziger
I definitely think Stevens was responsible for some of the murders. Absolutely 100% guilty!!!
Love the stories with michelle and her grandpa. Many years ago after my grandma passed on, I had “conversations” with her in my head. At times I thought I was going crazy, but maybe not. I wish she would come back for conversations or just to say “hello” again.

In 2001, investigators re-examining the case looked at some of the early suspects in the case. They discovered that they had the DNA of suspect Gary Leon Ridgway on file. Ridgway first became a suspect after a boyfriend of one of the victims identified him as the man she was last seen with. However, investigators did not have enough evidence to charge him at the time. DNA testing confirmed that Ridgway was the Green River Killer and he was arrested on November 30. Along with the DNA evidence, testing on paint found on some of the victims showed that it was the same paint that Ridgway had used at one of his jobs during the early 1980s. After his arrest, Ridgway confessed to murdering over 48 women.
In 2003, he pleaded guilty to the murders and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. In 2011, he was connected to a forty-ninth murder; he later pleaded guilty to that murder as well. He is currently a suspect in several other unsolved murders; investigators believe he may have killed up to ninety women.
William Stevens is no longer a suspect in the Green River Killings, but his brother Bob still thinks he's connected to the case. Roderick Thorp died in 1999 of a massive heart attack, not living to see the outcome of this case.
It's too bad that they can not charge Ridgeway with that 49th murder, take him to trial and get him a sentence they should have given him in the first place. death.
They thought Gary Ridgway or whomever did the killings didn't act alone Google Randy Achziger he was thought also to have contributed to the killings did they coerce Ridgway to confess yes they did notice how he lawyered up and told everyone he's innocent then all of a sudden oh I committed 90+ murders it was thought within the dept that the killer couldn't have acted alone...... definitely wasn't William Stevens though.Seems like his brother was trying to retaliate against his brother photos & tapes mean nothing lol there are all types of creepers that do just that
For then-Detective Reichert, this was the case that haunts an officer forever. Glad he was the Sheriff when they broke the case. Met him once.
I've seen your comments on some other UM videos and I just wanna say thanks for all the updates. It's nice to have someone share this info
Hotdog!! I love this show & Stack's creepy self!! Anyone else ever sat back and thought about how many people are just missing?? Enough for this show to have several seasons as well as other shows and a huge part of missing people dont even make it to the media. Scary
@Jn 10:27-28 Wow...that's just at crazy! Sounds like a Twilight Zone episode!
"Hotdog!" as an expression of jubilance isn't being used enough, and I thank you for this.
so true! especially minorities that are black & native indian
The Roger adoption case is brutally sad I can’t even watch it anymore. I am glad for the happy ending but the scene where he is taken away is heartbreaking
And the little lad actor, seemed so believable😔
I feel bad for this poor s.o.a.b. they were publicly profiling as the Green River Killer - DNA later proved that Gary Ridgeway is the killer. He must have been just rolling on the floor laughing while watching this episode. :( That's not to say that Stevens wasn't a twisted puppy all on his own.
I can't even imagine what it was like for Bill to see his own brother trying to convince all of America on National wide television that he was a serial killer 😂 talk About sibling revivaly!
I'm sure stevens and ridgeway were friends
Watching these episodes just infuriates me to no end! The amount of cases that really seem like they were never really investigated are absolutely insane to me! I really need to stop watching them.
So sad that Roger was taken from her .Glad they were reunited.
"Why did he change his story 20 years later" He changed his story 20 years later because he learned about DNA testing so he now had to change his story incase they tested her and found his DNA inside of her. It's pretty obvious
Wish I could see the embarrassed look on the brother and P.I.'s faces, when they learned that Bill Stevens was innocent, after they had been so sure AND professed it on national TV lol. This is why you can never be 100% positive of something you didn't witness nor have evidence to conclude. You always have to do your own reasearch and even then you can't be sure. Always give benefit of the doubt. This is a good example of why "innocent until proven guilty" is extremely important.
What was that P.I. smoking to think Stevens was a police informant? He went from ~positive he was about to solve one of the largest serial killer cases in US history~ to probably questioning all he ever knew😂 ..poor guy🤣
That hardly matters to Michelle, who credits the visions of her Grandfather with teaching her the true meaning of family. Next, a special report. This man believes he has evidence that the Green River Killer was his own brother.
I wonder if Gary (Green River Killer) saw this episode when it aired. He might of thought this really takes the heat off me.Im going back to work.
I do not know how taking a child from a loving healthy home for no reason -- as it pertains to any of the principals there benefits the child -- and the family he or she departed from
I wonder why Gary Ridgeway a.k.a. The Green River killer, murdered all these women; what was his motive. I have to research this horrible case. Poor ladies, they were killed for no reason at all. May all the 48 victims Rest in Peace forever 🙏
you don't have to search very far. the murders were sexually motivated, which is also why he slowed down as he aged and had sex with the bodies.
Right after my grandmother passed I had a dream about my grandfather and he told me to tell my dad that "he knows my dad fulfilled the promises he made to him at the hospital". I called my dad as soon as I woke up and my dad started crying and said I promised my dad I would take care of my mother for the rest of her life. He also said to me do you realize today marks 8 years since grandpa passed? I didn't
The Michael Skakel case was sickening. Because they were related to the Kennedy family, this man Michael, got away with murder. I am pretty sure that the “Kennedy’s influence” played a big role and was a big factor that Michael Skakel didn’t serve the 20 years.
Money talks, and when the rich get into trouble, they will get away with anything. Sadly, that’s reality.
Rest in Peace always Martha 🙏💐
Why don't they show the actual reunions anymore. those were some of my favorite moments
Wow, they are completely wrong about the green river killer. Gary Ridgway is the green river killer.
You have to remember. This was aired before we knew who the Green River killer was. Remember Robert Stack died in 2003, so we didn't know back then.

The theme music just isnt compelling or exciting. Wish they'd have kept the original. It's so iconic.
Totally agree.
One of the most fascinating things about watching these episodes many years later is that so many of the cases have been solved. There’s quite a few common threads I’ve noticed.
1. Witnesses are extremely unreliable. So many witnesses claim to see missing people who turned out to have been murdered within a short time of going missing.
2. Spouses who are suspects in a murder almost always turn out to be guilty, despite family claims to innocence.
3. Many families refuse to believe suicide as a viable explanation for their loved one’s death even when all evidence points to that.
4. Psychics and conspiracy theorists are almost always wrong, as evidenced in this episode and the Green River Killer.
5. Many murders turn out to be crimes of opportunity by complete strangers. As an example, the high profile case of Mia Zapata, there were many elaborate theories about what might have happened but it turned out to be a complete random attack, with no previous relationship between the murderer and Mia.
I hope I never have a brother that tries to get me arrested for murder.

Well she did loose her sheep and then was attacked by a spider, just have Alforf Hitchcock direct it and we'll all be shitting our pants!
44:04 that's disgusting that he only had to serve 10 years for murder because his family is wealthy and can hire good lawyers.

Gary Leon Ridgeway, aka The Green River Killer killed 49 women between 1982 and 2002, which was the year he was captured.
I do believe in visitations of some one that had passed on . As a few months after my son Stuart went to be with God , he visited my son David and our family, in 1979 . He said that he is well and that he came to let us know that all was well with him and that we will see him again one day and of other members of families
It is not possible to communicate with the dead. It is possible to communicate with demons that walked beside certain people all of their life though, and this should not be done. This video that even children might see should not be allowed on you tube at all.
If there's an afterlife, I wonder why the homicide victims don't communicate with the living to tell them who's their killer
