It’s amazing to me that Robert Stack was still making new Unsolved Mysteries material in the final months of his life (e.g., the Pond/Gaddis update). What a great service he did in his retirement years!
Im so happy that they have updates for many of these cases now. I recall being so frustrated at so many lost people that they were searching for. I remember thinking “Some day they’ll find that person. I sure wish we could know where they are!’

I lived about 25 minutes from Miranda and Ashley at the time they were abducted and murdered. I was also around the same age as them. Everyone was on super high alert and just scared.

Brian Smith If you're talking about the gang interference program, it can go well if they make sure con artists aren't involved. That happened in my city where the ex-cons who ran the program were lavishly spending the money on themselves. When you heard one of them speak, you could tell that he was an uneducated con man. He always dressed flashy as if he was going to a nightclub and drove a luxury vehicle. Charges were finally brought against the organization and they pleaded guilty of misusing funds. If the ex-offenders took the opportunity to get their GED, and maybe an associate/bachelor degree while while in prison, then they could bring some credibility to the table. But if all they did was watch TV and lift weights while they were locked up, most likely they are the kind who would see the program as a money grab. Don't need those kind of guys overseeing intervention programs.
If a girl had gone missing in my neighborhood, there's no way in hell I'm going to have my girl child make that same 10-minute walk to the bus stop. If I'm unable to drive her to school, I would pay a neighbor to walk with her to the stop. Although it would have been a major inconvenience, as long as the case remained unsolved I would have to be inconvenienced. Also, kids need to to be told that they should absolutely never accept rides from anyone without their parents permission, even if they know the person.

Weaver's father was also a killer who put a victim inside concrete. Then Weaver's step son was convicted of murder in 2014. Three generations of murderers.
This is from an Oregon newspaper in 2002 about the murdered girls, Ashley Pond and Miranda GaddisOREGON CITY, Ore. - Ten years ago Thursday, the second of two Oregon City girls who were killed by their neighbor was kidnapped. Two months before Miranda Gaddis disappeared, her classmate, Ashley Pond, vanished. Both were kidnapped and killed by Ward Weaver, who's serving life in prison for the crimes. Why he did it has been relatively unknown and unreported. But now, Miranda's sister, Miriah, knows what happened. She got answers from Weaver after he went to prison. "He honestly thought when Miranda was walking up the hill to the school bus that Miranda had saw something he was in the middle of doing and he got scared and panicked. So he told her: Hey, Ashley's inside. Ashley wants to come home and Ashley's scared. So, Miranda went over," Miriah said. Preying on a 13-year-old's desire to help, using the idea of her 12-year-old friend, Ashley, as bait, Weaver employed the ultimate deception. "He hurt a lot of people," Miriah said. She lives with the absence of what Weaver stole from her. Holidays, she said, are especially difficult. And evenings, too. "It's really hard because at night is usually when you talk to those people you love the most and she's not there," she said. The girls were both friends with Weaver's daughter - they were on the dance team with her. And both had spent nights at his home. Weaver seemed excited when he described the sleepovers to KATU News reporter Anna Canzano, then Anna Song, when she spoke to him that July. "You could not walk anywhere in my front room without stepping on a body," he said. KATU News was on to Weaver based on a tip it received about the "bushy haired neighbor at the top of the hill." And it wouldn't take long in the course of the interview to learn why. "They are saying that I am their No. 1 suspect," he said. Weaver said he flunked two polygraph tests but took a KATU camera crew through his home to show he had nothing to hide. In remarkably brazen acts with the camera rolling, he walked over a concrete slab during the interview with Song outside the house. Beneath it he had entombed Ashley. And inside, he stood in front of a freezer he had used to store Miranda's body. Miriah said Weaver also told her he killed Ashley Pond because he was afraid he was about to get arrested for raping her. This communication between them took place three years ago. She said they haven't been in contact since.
There is some recent visual footage of Orbs creating a crop circle. Ergo, possibly computerised patterns, possibly electro-magnetic. Interesting though, right.
Agreed... also I loved how they would tell you before the segment starts what kind of mysterie it would be... wish they brought both the og music and the intro back
I feel that the family of victims of murders should be allowed in a room with the killer and given 15 minutes to do whatever they want. And why do these prosecutors allow murders to plea bargain? Give them the death penalty and stop costing tax payers money.
Yes just if that person killed a lot of people. Each And every loved one or family member. And not just stop at blood Related or married on family. But be friends and people from work. Or school whatever program that persons with. As long as the person is over the age of 21 they should be allowed alone. To take revenge and do whatever they want to the person who killed their loved one. They are just not allowed to kill that person. Yet they must wait till everybody’s had their chance to at them. Then once everybody’s done and had their 15 minutes. They all get to side as a group how The killer dies. Why give them time in jail.
The death penalty is far more expensive than life without parole. Over a hundred men on death row have been found to be innocent, many of whom came very close to execution - and none of them were found to be innocent by any efforts by the state but by intervention by others, the DAs often fighting them every step of the way, even for DNA analysis of evidence. Innocent people have been executed in spite of evidence of their innocence, including Cameron Todd Willingham, www.newyorker.com/magazine/2009/09/07/trial-by-fire.
In that sick, heartless SOB Weaver double kidnapping and murders of the two girls, it's crazy how he was able to abduct a second girl in a similar fashion in such a short amount of time between kidnappings. They say the parents were on edge but he had an oppourtunity on that second girl he should have never had--esp after the disappearance of her friend. And yet he got that opportunity. Hope he rots behind bars.
Thats only the most public of his depravities, he was eventually caught after he raped his sons girlfriend and he had been raping and asassulting family members and who knows how many others since he was at least 12, His father Ward Weaver Jr. was just as terrible and even Ward Weaver III's step son became a murderer. There is no knowing the full extent out the pain that they have inflicted nor knowing if whatever made them that way has finally been stopped and not passed onto others who will continue hurting and transforming others.
Ward Webber's daughter was Ashley and Miranda's friend. They had sleep overs. He betrayed those 2 beautiful, young girls' trust. He killed them. He hid one under the patio and one in a shed.

For those who are watching with captions, at 31:33 the caption reads, "Dennis Farina: A crime of opportunity" This is a Robert Stack episode. Who did the captions and how did they mess up? Lol. EDIT: They did it again at 42:37
The best idea I've seen in regards to crop circles is a man who discovered certain vibrations create these "symbols". it could be communication or it could just be a side effect. Either way, we definitely should pay more attention. Just because you CAN hoax something does not mean it's a hoax.
I live in Wiltshire, England, which is world famous for crop circles. We even host an international conference about them. (Wiltshire is called “England’s mysterious Stonehenge region” on this episode).
Absolutely would not have let my child walk alone to the bus after the first disappearance Also, lifers in prison after such heinous crimes should get the death penalty. Anti death penalty people what if it was your child?
@@prochoicenotantivax119 safe from that murderer. It makes me sick people like you who are anti death penalty are the reason innocent people die because the most violent murderers get released from prison and kill again. So don't stick your filthy beak in other peoples faces accusing them as killers. At least we are for killing violent murderers where as you kill innocent people.
My daughter's school has always called and left a msg, but it was after 6. Even in elementary and middle school, which I hated. When a child goes missing, every minute counts.
After Ashley, all the complex inhabitants know about the disappearance and yet Miranda is left to go up the hill to the school bus alone?I I know it's a busy life but her mom could have given her a ride to school after that, just as a precautionary measure.
Sigh ... a missing schoolgirl in the same neighborhood goes missing ... same path ... never gets found. Then only two months later your daughter disappears under the same circumstances. Don't think as a parent I'd ever get over the grief in my part of letting this happen to my own daughter.
Now daughters know how the Dads feel millions of times all over the country all the time! But they cant stop their own adult children, how could the children stop an adult father? ya know?
Sorry I'm late to the party, just subscribed. I'm curious as to what you think that poor man's daughters could have done about their adult father having a girlfriend? They didn't know that she would kill him, obviously. What should they have done? "Let" him? What makes you think that they "let" him do anything?
I would of never ever let my kid-teenager walk , stay home alone , get on the bus , anything with out me there! My poor kids begged me now adults they understand now but didn’t back then. I still have them all.
No, we've just stopped _hearing_ about them, I think. People back then didn't know about drones, which could potentially explain both the lights _and_ the crop circles. Potentially.
The biggest mystery in this world is Death .. every single person one day will die ..poor or rich, weak or powerful, famous or ordinary, ugly or beautiful .. nobody can't escape it.. in my opinion the second mystery is time.. undetectable by human senses.. but its everywhere , moving forward always with the constant speed.. effecting everything, causing ages , the objects and all living beings get old.. just like death is not escapable
odd thing about crop circles is how you just have to ask different people and there's little confusion about how they're made. even if you have big fancy machines that read out the thermal / radioactive spectra of plants you can still make basic scientific reasoning errors. its easy to underestimate how smart other people can be & dismiss their abilities. eg 'wow no human could do something that amazing'.
I hate skeptics . . . because they refuse to believe anything outside their frame of reference might be a possibility. They criticize, yet offer no proof to backup their disbelief.
Why does it matter if someone doesn't agree with you? This is the pissest poor presentation of the skeptic's opinions in the crop circle video. You only hear 3 hand conclusions and only the people for it get to speak for themselves. Such a biased story. I can say I hate you too for being limited toward what you speak of. Do you even know what a skeptic is? Someone that questions something's validity within the realm of reasonable doubt. Contrarians are people who reject and don't question. Very different than a skeptic.The fact that you won't accept anything beyond your scope of beliefs and question the validity of skeptics automatically makes you what you define falsely as a skeptic yourself too. I guess you hate yourself on the count of what your actions coincide with the definition of what you hate. You should choose your words carefully because, your inability to comprehend words you use inadvertently warp your perception and in turn defines you inaccurately. Can you back up your beliefs? The burden of proof lies with you just as much as the skeptic. You also hate criminal investigators too who look at evidence with a fine tooth comb SKEPTICALLY and get innocent people out of prison and catch cold case criminals too. See, you've trapped yourself with poor judgment. This is why the skeptic is usually right because, people like you lack reasoning faculties. If you don't stand for consistency you'll fall for everything you like. That isn't how facts work usually.
Most so called Skeptics aren't followers of the scientific method. If they were, they would be presenting evidence not proof. Proof is a legal construct not a scientific concept. You either have evidence that does or does not support something.
I lived in the same neighborhood as the Lopez did in Milwaukee. As you enter 8th and Madison Street they wrote on the floor "Welcome to the jungle" And on another Street "enter at your own risk" it was scary as i was only 13 and once confused me for another gang member and almost shot me.

"He hurt a lot of people," Miriah said.
She lives with the absence of what Weaver stole from her. Holidays, she said, are especially difficult. And evenings, too.
"It's really hard because at night is usually when you talk to those people you love the most and she's not there," she said.
The girls were both friends with Weaver's daughter - they were on the dance team with her. And both had spent nights at his home.
Weaver seemed excited when he described the sleepovers to KATU News reporter Anna Canzano, then Anna Song, when she spoke to him that July.
"You could not walk anywhere in my front room without stepping on a body," he said.
KATU News was on to Weaver based on a tip it received about the "bushy haired neighbor at the top of the hill." And it wouldn't take long in the course of the interview to learn why.
"They are saying that I am their No. 1 suspect," he said.
Weaver said he flunked two polygraph tests but took a KATU camera crew through his home to show he had nothing to hide.
In remarkably brazen acts with the camera rolling, he walked over a concrete slab during the interview with Song outside the house. Beneath it he had entombed Ashley.
And inside, he stood in front of a freezer he had used to store Miranda's body.
Miriah said Weaver also told her he killed Ashley Pond because he was afraid he was about to get arrested for raping her. This communication between them took place three years ago. She said they haven't been in contact since.
There is some recent visual footage of Orbs creating a crop circle. Ergo, possibly computerised patterns, possibly electro-magnetic. Interesting though, right.
Anyone else click this episode cause of the guys cool haircut in the thumbnail or just me lol

Love this show.
I love this show, but I must admit it's not the same without the classic theme song.
100% It's still the smae but sounds like chipmunk version. hate it
Agreed, nothing beats the original. But I am sure they had to make these changes to adapt with the times.
Agreed... also I loved how they would tell you before the segment starts what kind of mysterie it would be... wish they brought both the og music and the intro back
@@cheery-hexthe chipmunk version, LOL. Yeah, why mess with a good thing? The original music was perfect.
Changing theme songs per season was the norm at that time.
I saw crop circles and a UFO, flying away from my farm in eastern, Kentucky...a very remote area.
Kentucky! They were probably looking for chicken or whiskey!
Crop circles are SO INTERESTING!!!!!
A world wind romance a classic line from Robert
I lived near Portland when this happened. My dad was a cop and every time Weaver was on tv, he kept saying “that SOB did it”
"Lonely men everywhere, BEWARE!" Serious situation but it made me chuckle.
She sounds like the woman called The Black Widow.
black widow won't kill innocents for money
i love how rob standing in a church with the same symbols as the crop c in the stain glass windows...frequencys
I feel that the family of victims of murders should be allowed in a room with the killer and given 15 minutes to do whatever they want. And why do these prosecutors allow murders to plea bargain? Give them the death penalty and stop costing tax payers money.
Tru that Jeff.
Yes just if that person killed a lot of people. Each And every loved one or family member. And not just stop at blood Related or married on family. But be friends and people from work. Or school whatever program that persons with. As long as the person is over the age of 21 they should be allowed alone. To take revenge and do whatever they want to the person who killed their loved one. They are just not allowed to kill that person. Yet they must wait till everybody’s had their chance to at them. Then once everybody’s done and had their 15 minutes. They all get to side as a group how The killer dies.
Why give them time in jail.
The death penalty is far more expensive than life without parole. Over a hundred men on death row have been found to be innocent, many of whom came very close to execution - and none of them were found to be innocent by any efforts by the state but by intervention by others, the DAs often fighting them every step of the way, even for DNA analysis of evidence. Innocent people have been executed in spite of evidence of their innocence, including Cameron Todd Willingham, www.newyorker.com/magazine/2009/09/07/trial-by-fire.
Sometimes with plea bargains they find out something that the criminal would otherwise have kept quiet, such as the location of a body.
In many foreign countries, they have quick death penalties. Justice is served.
In that sick, heartless SOB Weaver double kidnapping and murders of the two girls, it's crazy how he was able to abduct a second girl in a similar fashion in such a short amount of time between kidnappings. They say the parents were on edge but he had an oppourtunity on that second girl he should have never had--esp after the disappearance of her friend. And yet he got that opportunity. Hope he rots behind bars.
Thats only the most public of his depravities, he was eventually caught after he raped his sons girlfriend and he had been raping and asassulting family members and who knows how many others since he was at least 12, His father Ward Weaver Jr. was just as terrible and even Ward Weaver III's step son became a murderer. There is no knowing the full extent out the pain that they have inflicted nor knowing if whatever made them that way has finally been stopped and not passed onto others who will continue hurting and transforming others.
I wish they still made these
No signs of a struggle in the cases of the 2 girls could also mean a stun gun was used.
Great idea about the “stun gun” Cheri Sullivan....
Ward Webber's daughter was Ashley and Miranda's friend. They had sleep overs. He betrayed those 2 beautiful, young girls' trust. He killed them. He hid one under the patio and one in a shed.

They knew their killer, would visit his home since his daughter was their friend. The mothers obviously had no idea.
For those who are watching with captions, at 31:33 the caption reads, "Dennis Farina: A crime of opportunity"
This is a Robert Stack episode. Who did the captions and how did they mess up? Lol.
EDIT: They did it again at 42:37
I just turned it on and everytime Stack speaks, it says Dennis Farina lol
The best idea I've seen in regards to crop circles is a man who discovered certain vibrations create these "symbols". it could be communication or it could just be a side effect. Either way, we definitely should pay more attention. Just because you CAN hoax something does not mean it's a hoax.
Great episode love the history
It's 2024 and they still never found Hazel Head aka DeAnna smh....
Hell for murderes and criminals but eternal glory to Mr. Stack for his tireless contributions to the community at large
There was just something indescribably different about Robert stacks voice...perfect for this program. We miss you Mr. Stack..rest in eternal peace.
I live in Wiltshire, England, which is world famous for crop circles. We even host an international conference about them.
(Wiltshire is called “England’s mysterious Stonehenge region” on this episode).
Because you're a Wiltshire resident, I must ask your humble opinion.... how do you think the crop circles were created?
The crop circle story is amazing
Absolutely would not have let my child walk alone to the bus after the first disappearance Also, lifers in prison after such heinous crimes should get the death penalty. Anti death penalty people what if it was your child?
So if you kill a murderer what does that make you
@@prochoicenotantivax119 safe from that murderer. It makes me sick people like you who are anti death penalty are the reason innocent people die because the most violent murderers get released from prison and kill again. So don't stick your filthy beak in other peoples faces accusing them as killers. At least we are for killing violent murderers where as you kill innocent people.
I'm a lesbian so you're asking the wrong person. If it was my cat, though... I'll take the charge.
RIP ROBERT STACK
Why in the hell did the school not call the parents of the girls, when they didn't show up to school? WTF
I don't think they did that back in the day.
This was before that was standard practice unfortunately
Or the parents drive them to school or walk them to the the bus stop
@@CEDL4072 Actually back then it was fairly common for schools to call parents and confirm where the kids were or why they weren't as school.
My daughter's school has always called and left a msg, but it was after 6. Even in elementary and middle school, which I hated. When a child goes missing, every minute counts.
The auto captions keep say Farina. This is definitely Robert Stack narrating.
R.I.P ROBERT STACK #2021
Those crop circles are absolutely beautiful. They are art, but i dont see a tractor doing that.
Rest in Peace Ashley Pond and Miranda Gaddis 🙏
My favorites were the unexplained and lost loves. I often think about these people.
Weaver is a freaking monster!!!!
They're in every town & city
Mr. Stack makes crop circles soubd sexy
Lol
Hahaha
Sound
Fact
After Ashley, all the complex inhabitants know about the disappearance and yet Miranda is left to go up the hill to the school bus alone?I I know it's a busy life but her mom could have given her a ride to school after that, just as a precautionary measure.
Sigh ... a missing schoolgirl in the same neighborhood goes missing ... same path ... never gets found.
Then only two months later your daughter disappears under the same circumstances. Don't think as a parent I'd ever get over the grief in my part of letting this happen to my own daughter.
On the weaver case: why was the son not implicated? Where was weavers daughter in all of this? Or the other two kids that flunked the polygraph?
She was married 10 times inwonder of any of those husbands died from unknown reasons
Wonder if shes still alive,& maybe left the country?
@@vernareed5534 google is your friend :) I’v forgotten her second name and Cba to go back now
Good question? I would be checking.
This is my go to.... put me to sleep show.
Cool if one day the update announcement comes at the end of the crop circle segment
Thank you for uploeding
Depending on the dates of some of these sightings they could be drones. Also, consider that even the tv show can simulate sightings.
These are from the 90’s. Trust me there’s UFO 🛸 and they design the crop circles.
That crop circle was a cross. What you call aliens could be what some call angels. We will never know....
31:11 “NAB 452” lol what an appropriate license plate for this story
What kind of daughters would let their dad hook up with that Aileen Wurnos wannabe?
Now daughters know how the Dads feel millions of times all over the country all the time! But they cant stop their own adult children, how could the children stop an adult father? ya know?
Sorry I'm late to the party, just subscribed. I'm curious as to what you think that poor man's daughters could have done about their adult father having a girlfriend? They didn't know that she would kill him, obviously. What should they have done? "Let" him? What makes you think that they "let" him do anything?
News Alert:
Harry Potter Fans..these are real unsolved mysteries...no broom stick riding here buddies!!
This video was posted a year ago today right now as I'm watching it that's a unsolved mystery lol
😂
This show freaked me out as a kid I thought River Shack had a scary voice lol
I think you mean Robert Stack.
I lived there and I remember it like yesterday!
Which one?
I would of never ever let my kid-teenager walk , stay home alone , get on the bus , anything with out me there! My poor kids begged me now adults they understand now but didn’t back then. I still have them all.
Understandable
Only Canada would have an agency dedicated to crop circles
Every country does
@BotanistRM Parkinson I'm not convinced by them bit I do believe the UFO phenomenon is real
@BotanistRM Parkinson till you see one...
Perhaps🤨🤔🕵🏾♀️It's you!
u scared me lol
Confusing! Lol
It was never me😭😭😭
I WISH!
it wasnt me!!

The missing girls one is sad. I hate when the episodes don't end well. So sad. Disturbing
Hazel Head would be 70 years old if still alive. She has not been seen since 1998.

Funny how crop circles stopped being a thing once technology enabled us to film anything anywhere and kids had online video games 😆
Exactly what I thought. I remember the explanation used to be aliens. Now, I cant remenber the last time I heard of crop circles.
No, we've just stopped _hearing_ about them, I think. People back then didn't know about drones, which could potentially explain both the lights _and_ the crop circles. Potentially.
Yep
Strange?? Absolutely lol
@@jessiehermit9503 right
Mystery. The captioning says it's Dennis Farina's voice narrating. It's Robert Stack's voice. ??
The Pond tragedy reminds me of The Lovely Bones.
Alot of these episodes 😢 just break my heart
42:34 omg, you can’t say that today without getting fired!
Ashley and Miranda's was murdered by same monster!!!!
The biggest mystery in this world is Death .. every single person one day will die ..poor or rich, weak or powerful, famous or ordinary, ugly or beautiful .. nobody can't escape it.. in my opinion the second mystery is time.. undetectable by human senses.. but its everywhere , moving forward always with the constant speed.. effecting everything, causing ages , the objects and all living beings get old.. just like death is not escapable
Last Episode, those who live by the gun will die by the gun.
odd thing about crop circles is how you just have to ask different people and there's little confusion about how they're made. even if you have big fancy machines that read out the thermal / radioactive spectra of plants you can still make basic scientific reasoning errors. its easy to underestimate how smart other people can be & dismiss their abilities. eg 'wow no human could do something that amazing'.
I hate skeptics . . . because they refuse to believe anything outside their frame of reference might be a possibility. They criticize, yet offer no proof to backup their disbelief.
Why does it matter if someone doesn't agree with you? This is the pissest poor presentation of the skeptic's opinions in the crop circle video. You only hear 3 hand conclusions and only the people for it get to speak for themselves. Such a biased story. I can say I hate you too for being limited toward what you speak of. Do you even know what a skeptic is? Someone that questions something's validity within the realm of reasonable doubt. Contrarians are people who reject and don't question. Very different than a skeptic.The fact that you won't accept anything beyond your scope of beliefs and question the validity of skeptics automatically makes you what you define falsely as a skeptic yourself too. I guess you hate yourself on the count of what your actions coincide with the definition of what you hate. You should choose your words carefully because, your inability to comprehend words you use inadvertently warp your perception and in turn defines you inaccurately. Can you back up your beliefs? The burden of proof lies with you just as much as the skeptic. You also hate criminal investigators too who look at evidence with a fine tooth comb SKEPTICALLY and get innocent people out of prison and catch cold case criminals too. See, you've trapped yourself with poor judgment. This is why the skeptic is usually right because, people like you lack reasoning faculties. If you don't stand for consistency you'll fall for everything you like. That isn't how facts work usually.
Skeptics don't believe because there is no proof
Most so called Skeptics aren't followers of the scientific method. If they were, they would be presenting evidence not proof. Proof is a legal construct not a scientific concept. You either have evidence that does or does not support something.
@@tr4480 Yeah we are. When people make ridiculous claims the burden of proof is on them.
Just wait till you find out the Earth is Flat.
I lived in the same neighborhood as the Lopez did in Milwaukee. As you enter 8th and Madison Street they wrote on the floor "Welcome to the jungle"
And on another Street "enter at your own risk" it was scary as i was only 13 and once confused me for another gang member and almost shot me.
