I’m pretty stoic; but I let my guard down when it comes to UM cases.

For me, I always tear up on Delia’s case. That and Jeannie Wagner’s case re: her father Duncan.

Anyone else feel the same?

There's a couple that sometimes will make my eyes attempt to leak, at times, sure. I can't think of specifics, right now, other than a couple of the Vietnam ones.

I'm a sucker for that ghost that wrote a letter to his wife for her birthday.

Dog kennel fire

Gail Delano and Rachel Runyan.

Anything to do w/animal cruelty (the dog kennel fire, or the CA sea lions) or small children. Dexter Stefanek also tugs at the heartstrings (a lonely old man who just lost his wife and lived far away from any family......)

Gail Delano and Rachel Runyan.

For all the segments cut for random reasons I really wish they'd have left Gail Delano out. Let the poor woman have her suicide in peace.

Dog kennel fire

Damn you, Enid. That one was bad for me, and I'd forgotten it. :(

I agree. So sad :(

I'm a softy when it comes to reunions for the lost love cases. Those always manage to get a tear here and there.

But a tragic moment that really hit me hard was the segment about the road rage drivers. In particular, the one involving the toddler who was shot and killed through the backseat window. I'm not the kind of person who normally gushes and melts into a pile of goo over babies and little kids. But when Robert Stack said the toddler's only protection was his teddy bear, the tears were coming down at full blast.

God, I forgot about that one :(

For me, it’s the segment about the hearing impaired woman, Patti English, looking for her biological father, Robert Wilson Miller.

Oh, man. Great answer. That one really hit me hard too.

Gord McAllister. Hands down.

That poor man. I cannot begin to imagine what he was feeling.

Paula Pasciak - particularly the interview with her mother who admitted to being a very hateful person after her daughter's death. :(

Marilu Geri - frustrating case, equally heartbreaking press conference from Feb of this year as posted by someone in the thread for that case.

Paula Pasciak - particularly the interview with her mother who admitted to being a very hateful person after her daughter's death. :(

That made me very sad too. :(

I agree with justin on Patti English. Xuan Van Nguyen also comes to mind.

I also choke up during the portion of the Kathy Hobbs segment when her mother tearfully says, "And she was also a very good friend, as well as being my daughter."

Gilbert Ortiz. Mostly knowing the aftermath :(

Gilbert Ortiz. Mostly knowing the aftermath :(

Gilbert seemed like such a nice guy. I hate that he's experienced so much abuse in his life. :(

Exactly my thoughts, Meg :(

Listening to Jared Dirickson, talking about how he and his dad were always together :(

Always, Karen, the segment about the young woman who died of cancer. She and her parents considered themselves the Three Musketeers. When the daughter was in a coma and the dad says, "We understand if you need to go. We'll always be the Three Musketeers" I always start crying. I can't watch this one very often :(

Matt and Wendy Jameson

Because nothing like that will ever happen to me, so I weep.

Two that come to mind are the Kansas City firefighters (especially the part with the unanswered radio calls) and Matt Flores, particularly when they show his little girl, who was only a baby at the time. That this has never been solved even with that $100,000 (in 1994) reward and the killing makes zero rational sense makes it even sadder.

Gordon Page.

Gordon Page.

I hear that. This one pulls at your heartstrings. And the incredibly sad music they play for the last 2 minutes of the segment really adds to the depressing unresolved ending. I don't recall them using that music score very often.

Jenny Pratt...a damn shame

LaHarriet Wade/Nikki Crowder - Sharita Harding..."the promise" scene and the update.

I can't remember the person's name, but there was an older person, who would play Santa Claus on the radio, that was looking for his daughter that he had to give up for adoption.

At the end of the segment, Robert Stack gives the heart breaking update that she was killed in a silo explosion when she was 18, and grew up believing both of her birth parents were deceased.

Hopefully they're together again, where ever they are.

Joe Schambier. That was really sad, and I felt so bad for him. It wasn't a silo explosion, it was actually a car bombing. Her estranged husband rigged his car with explosives and it killed him, her, and another person that was nearby.

Baby Jane Doe - I was so happy when they caught the mother but still every time I see this case it really gets to me :(

I’m horrible with names but it was the Asian Vietnam vet who wanted to be reunited with a fellow solider who befriended him. They did find him & were reunited in Hawaii. Them walking up to each other with open arms just got me in the feels

Amandab1234,

That would be Mitchell Shigemoto and James Pearson.

Another moment that gets me is Harley, the seizure-sensing dog, dying and the whole case of Victoria Doroshenko.

The Jordan children. When Robert Stack said the children were huddled together when their bodies were discovered just broke my heart.

At least we can take some solace that the mastermind is burning in Hell as we speak. It still won't bring the poor children back.

Trisha Autry's case was quite sad. She seemed like a lonely girl.

Bill Day. He only wanted to be the best father for Christophe. I cry at the end of the Gordon Page Jr segment when they show the home videos.

I lose it at the reenactment of him trying to get back into his father's car and the dad regretting the decision not to let him in. :( I can't really watch this segment.

The Vietnam vet, I think his name was Jim, who was reunited with the nurse who brought him back to health. He's since passed away. Almost all the reunion ones make me cry.

I'm a sucker for that ghost that wrote a letter to his wife for her birthday.

Frank Wilson. I watched this the other day and I think somebody was chopping onions nearby.

The Nanny of Jackie Cooper segment was one which nearly had me in tears by the end of the segment. I think that was the only time I ever (very nearly) cried when watching Unsolved Mysteries! (L.O.L.!) The Jenny Pratt case also kind of gets me a bit worked up, but am not sure if it's more sadness, or anger. Probably a little bit of both give or take.

The Nanny of Jackie Cooper segment was one which nearly had me in tears by the end of the segment.

I don't think I've ever seen this one. It's too bad it didn't make it to Amazon Prime!

I have that segment too. I'm surprised it also didn't make it there, even if one reason may be because it's either a Lost Loves case, and/or a lost cause by now.

Lisa Ziegart's student. EVERY. TIME.

That one gets to me too as well. Thank goodness they finally caught the killer after all this time though, which at least helps somewhat ease the pain of that horrific crime. Still. :(

The 6 children from Locust Grove, OK. On UM Wiki they are listed as Billie and Joey Rogers. They were separated as children because children's services took them away and they were adopted out by different families. Always makes me well up. Damn it, welling up now LOL.

That's one of my favorite Lost Loves segments too. The part which really makes you well up in it, is when they sing Silent Night, Holy Night at the mother's/Edith's funeral, and when one of the sons says how hearing that song around Christmas time would always get him so depressed as a result. Interesting how Lifetime cut that particular part out, in order to make room for the update though.

Sooo sad, especially when one of the children (now a grown man) says when he saw his father's grave all of his pain and hatred from the abuse went away....he wished he could tell his father he was sorry for how things happened and hoped his father would say sorry as well (sorry man, you shouldn't be sorry, you were a child, he was an abusive adult, but I get it). OMG, segments like that and wine do not mix...welling up again.

The segment also bothers me because that POS father needs a beating. Buddy, you want to beat on your wife and kids? I'm coming for you.

I know really! While I commend the son for forgiving his father, while leaving behind the understandable hatred he had towards him, the bottom like was that the dad did cause much harm to his wife, and children, and was probably the reason why his wife/their mother killed herself. That and how he was obviously in no position to care for his children, and made no effort to better their lives, and seemed to only know how to cause pain, and misery not just to them, but for who he murdered during one of his many drunken rages as well.

We are SO on the page about the segment :) Very sad.

Same. I get teary eyed every single time I see that part.

The Laura Lee Burbank segment is also one I have to skip because it makes me cry. To lure a child using cute little pets....that's just awful. I mean doing anything to children is awful, but to trick a little girl that way really upsets me. It just really bothers me. I can't watch it. And sadly I know why people take the law into their own hands. If someone did that sh1t to my 10 year old niece, they'd have to move out of the country and hide...not from the police, but from me.

There's a part in the Michael Rosenblum segment that really breaks my heart. I can't remember the exact wording, but Maurice Rosenblum is talking about the days just after his son's disappearance, remembering that he thought "maybe I could find him and do something for him". Then he says, "But it was too late. Too late. It was just too late." The resignation and sadness is so heavy in his voice.

The Jordan family arson. Just the thought of those poor kids suffering in that room unable to get out chokes me up. This crime was the epitome of cruelty.

What also hurts about that case is the fact that the day Laura was to meet up with Fisher on the day she was killed, she hadn't originally planned on going alone. But her sister ended up being sick and her best friend was unavailable.

It makes me play the what if game. What if they both ended up being able to accompany her after all? Even though they were young girls, it's harder to subdue three as opposed to one. Would he have tried to kill all three? Would he have had to scrap his plans and think of a later time he could try and get Laura alone?

One segment that's started tugging on my heart strings with repeated viewings here is the one about Annette Burnside

http://unsolvedmysteries.wikia.com/wiki/Jim_Burnside

The acting/music/production........makes it incredibly heartbreaking

Several

Delia Franzini Goldie just broke me. The entire thing. It has one of the best updates ever though. And its so very British!

Rose Hoffman pleading for her son to return.

The missing autistic son. The fact that he hasn't been found is heartbreaking.

There's another its like this woman found her sister and she needed a kidney. Unfortunately despite the reunion she passed away because the sister was not a match.

The Jordan children. When Robert Stack said the children were huddled together when their bodies were discovered just broke my heart.

At least we can take some solace that the mastermind is burning in Hell as we speak. It still won't bring the poor children back.

Two of the sickos involved got greased in the end, one of them hasn't been solved yet.

Karma does exist.

Joseph Schambier bring me to tears. All that time looking for his daughter only to find out she was long dead (and the manner she died on top of that).

Is that one on Prime by any chance?

Wow, and never knew that was the case until now! That's also another great, and personal favorite of mine's Lost Loves segments too (which was also another very rarely shown episode), and so sad how he never got to meet his long lost daughter! At least he was content with knowing the search for her was resolved, as tragic as her death was, and all! :(

LaHarriet Wade/Nikki Crowder - Sharita Harding..."the promise" scene and the update.

Oh God that specific moment is the only time I've actually teared up at a reenactment from this show, it is so emotional:(

The Beatrice, Nebraska church explosion miracle where everyone was late and saved from being in the church when it blew up.

Maybe you could write off one or two choir members being late as coincidence, but all of them? Group meetings don't work that way. I still think it was a miracle.
