Unsolved Mysteries

So Netflix is bringing back the show that made sleep difficult as a child...it all comes down to the host, Robert Stack made that show with his eerie voice, trenchcoat, and meandering through a ghostly Masonic Temple. So who is the pick to fill those shoes? Dennis Farina did it admirably for a bit, who can recapture the magic that Stack did so effortlessly?

 

Hologram Robert Stack

I'll also settle for Robotic Robert Stack

 

Ep 1-4 done! I think 3 was my fav so far.

 

Any theories on the hole from the first episode?

 

no theories on the hole but pretty safe to say Porter has something to do with it.

 

Oh definitely.

The gag order is about as suspicious as it gets.

 

I want to know what happened so baddd

well for all of them I guess

 

Stoked this is back. Really enjoyed the first 2 episodes, particularly the first one.

 

first off: fuck yes to this thread!

First episode I want to know a lot of things but like... they make it seem like it happened in the fucking 70’s before technology existed.

- how many people were working when the phone call to his cell phone took place? How many people work there in general? I get you may not be able to know the exact phone that called him but how many people were there? Are there no cameras or parking lot footage to see how many cars were there at the time?

- how much hotel footage did they watch? Is there no footage of the parking lot where his car was found? Where did he go after he parked? Gotta be footage somewhere right?

- do they know definitively that he died the same night? Maybe the answered it with the parking tickets, but couldn’t it have been the been the next night or something? How different does a body look from day 7 to day 8?

- the hole certainly seemed like he felt STRAIGHT down and not at an angle which seems realllll strange how he fell, along with how his glasses and phone were found.

- the “best friend” is obviously suspicious and involved in some fashion since he gag ordered everyone and seemingly never talked to the family. SEEMS ODD

- I wanna know when the letter behind the computer was printed. Maybe it was written and taped there days or weeks before. Seems unusual to think he wrote it and put it there the same day he went missing (what his wife thinks) even though he seemingly ran out of the house in an unexpected hurry

- also seems kind of odd to me that this happens the first night his wife is gone. Not saying she’s involved, but seems like odd timing unless the people behind it planned for that day and knew she was gone?

- how close was this family friend of theirs that was living with them? The episode never talks about her. Was she involved in some way? Can’t remember when his wife called him and then later called her friend, but if it was awhile it seems weird the friend wouldn’t call and be like “your husband ran out of the house without saying anything and has been gone 12 hours. Seems weird right?”

lots of thoughts and I’m probably forgetting some things since I watched episode 1 yesterday and watched ep 2 earlier today

 

Episode 2.

Ok, the husband either paid someone to kill his wife or did it himself.

- changes the locks the day after she goes missing so her 14/15 year old son can’t get in the house so he doesn’t mess with the old mans “head” or some shit? Very very nice and not at all odd behavior.

- he seems real ego tripping about having a degree in criminology. Weird smirk on his face with that line.

- another nice smirk and “seeee?” When he talks about the receipt being time stamped at the gas station. Is there no cameras around the gas station? Maybe someone else drove his car and he drove the blue one that was seen at the salon.

- how he talks about it his wife was kept alive as someone’s toy for awhile before being killed.

- how he keeps the fucking ashes in a box in the closet.

- how he wanted the fucking bones laid out on a table so he could carry her fucking skull around and probably Masturbate into it or some twisted shit. Like what the fuck.

- claims they never ever fought because “fighting solves nothing” or some weirdo credence like that.

- says he wouldn’t do it because it’s not like she had a life insurance policy. ...Um, not because you love her, but no, you didn’t kill her because she didn’t have a life insurance policy! Why would I waste my time killing someone who doesn’t have a life insurance policy?

- if she was frazzled right away in the morning with her first customer wouldn’t the obvious answer be that her husband made her frazzled before she left for work? Or that at least something in the morning upset her? And wouldn’t the first answer be a significant other / family?

- her body was found SIX miles from the salon? That’s... not very far. I highly doubt her body was there the whole time.

 

Going to start this tomorrow. Really looking forward to it.

 

That alien episode seemed pretty silly to me heh.

 

This is great so far. Seen the first two episodes and the lack of follow up on some pieces of evidence is v frustrating, but makes for fun discussions.

 

I’ve always thought the missing people cases were far more interesting than the alien stuff on this show. Rang true when I watched as a kid and still does now.

 

Just watched episode 2. Liked it a lot. Still not sure about the husband. I don’t like him at all. But I also don’t think it’s weird to sleep with the ashes. But the life insurance thing was super weird. The relationship between him and Pistol is also incredibly weird.

I don’t have anything else to add yet haha.

 

A lot of people are like ahh it’s not as ~paranormal~ type of unexplained this time

I don’t mind either way I think. But I also didn’t hate the ufo episode lol. Some parts on their own were deff silly but I can’t help but feel like something must have happened to have so many people have similar stories

 

gonna check this out today

 

Both the son and the dad seem pretty fucked to me. That whole thing was weird.

 

The Freemason type shit is wild too - wtf is with that letter

 

It was in this moment I realized I actually do not like things that are unsolved

 

The idea that any of us could just go missing at any time is crazy to me

 

Stop that!!!

 

I just finished the last episode

honestly that was rly sad. Especially bc it’s clearly not an unsolved mystery it’s obvious what happened. Infuriating

 

That first episode Freemason letter is wild. Weird how she kinda shrugs it off, especially considering she found OTHER note scraps in the trash the SAME DAY of his disappearance. Like hello? And also maybe read your husband's dozens of completed writing journals. Sounds like he was keeping a lot of secrets.

That second episode was weird too. Seems like there were a bunch of routes the investigation could've taken but just kinda fizzled out. If anything this show just proves the utter dysfunction of police.

 

Crime Junkie covered the first episode on their show earlier this week! It’s well worth the listen.
