Unsolved Mysteries

From Conservapedia - Reading time: 1 min

Robert Stack was the long-term original host of Unsolved Mysteries.

Unsolved Mysteries was a television program which ran on NBC from 1988-1997, then on CBS from 1997-1999. It revived for a brief time (mainly from repackaged segments of older episodes) on Lifetime Channel from 2001-2002, after which it has appeared as reruns on various cable networks. The movie streaming service Netflix produced six new episodes beginning in July 2020.

The show featured a documentary format with four segments at around ten minutes each, along with smaller segments featuring updates from prior episodes. Each segment would fall generally into one of four categories:

  • Wanted - missing persons, unsolved crimes, criminals being sought (either the criminal's identity is unknown, or is known but the criminal's whereabouts are unknown)
  • Lost Loves - a person seeking another person who had importance in his/her life (such as an adopted person seeking birth parents, or a person helped by a "Good Samaritan" seeking that person)
  • Alternative History - alternative theories about historical events (an example was a Texas resident claiming that Billy the Kid was not really killed by Pat Garrett, but that he was in fact that person)
  • Paranormal - stories such as miracles, UFO sightings, and other unexplained phenomena

In the Wanted and Lost Loves categories, later episodes would feature updates (such as the capture of a wanted person, or a person seeking the whereabouts of another is reunited with that person).

The producers continue to maintain a website and accept leads on Wanted or Lost Loves segments (and update them as applicable).
