ONTD Original: Building on Unsolved Mysteries

[patchsassy]

We all know Unsolved Mysteries was a show that brought light to many cases and put their victims in the spotlight in hopes of solving them

ngl, it kind of shook my faith that Darlie Routier is guilty. Even though I think she almost certainly still is.

Patricia Meehan's self portrait will stick with me until I die.

I just read the wiki on her and I am thoroughly creeped out.

Swango is from my hometown. I’m honestly surprised it isn’t talked about more. I forgot until I saw him in the post.

Death in Oslo has me fascinated. Mainly because it’s most likely the woman who was killed was a spy, although the official story is she killed herself.

[delleve]

Is that from the newer episodes? The gun shot at a hotel and all the tags were torn out of the woman's clothes? I remember that one. Definitely sounded like some spy shit.

[insecuredesign]

Yup that was the one! Everything about it sounded like she was a spy that got offed.

Of the new Unsolved Mysteries cases, that's the one I've rewatched the most.

I know investigative journalists get flack but that guy really wants to find her and went above and beyond to get the story.

Sort of on the edge, I love the true crime campfire podcast, especially the episodes about the ones who *almost* got away with it

Awesome post, OP! I actually haven't heard of a lot of these cases before.

The most memorable episode of Unsolved Mysteries for me was the one about spontaneous combustion. That episode haunted my childhood nightmares.

I haven't seen any docs on it (have listened to some podcasts though), but the unsolved case I think of the most is the murder of the two young girls in Delphi, Indiana. I really hope the piece of shit who killed those girls is caught.

[patchsassy]

I'm with you. It's time to solve the Delphi murders.

Like I know the video/audio we have of the Delphi killer is not the best quality. But it still feels wild to me that no one has identified that man.

[delleve]

Yes, it's maddening! There's seemingly so much more evidence than most cases and it's a small town. It seems like it should be long solved. I understand the reasoning behind not releasing more details to the public, but after so many years and the cause of death still isn't released... wtf, man.
