The mystery of the Mary Celeste ship that sailed from New York to Italy in 1872 captained by Captain Benjamin Briggs, his wife and crew. It was found completely abandoned several weeks later. I believe the explanations given by Unsolved Mysteries host Robert Stack & the interviewees makes the most sense and is the most plausible. They claimed the people on the Mary Celeste had trailed the ship on a lifeboat to give it time to vent the alcoholic fumes in the cargo area in case it might explode. They had just opened the hatch after a week in heavy storms and noticed the strong fumes coming from the cargo area used to store their wine barrels.
The fact that another ship later found the abandoned Mary Celeste & found 9 empty barrels of alcohol and the fact they also found a rope dangling off the back of the ship (the stern) led me to believe the rope to the lifeboat must have snapped off leaving the people behind and sailed off without them.
The segment on the tragic death of Brandon Lee (the son of Bruce Lee) while on a stage set during the filming of a movie. He was accidently shot dead with a gun that was supposed to fire blanks only. I like the detailed ballistics explanations and the computer animation that went with it.
The bible code segment was also interesting.
I like the murder case in Boston, Massachusetts of this female airline baggage handler at Northwest Airlines who was found stabbed to death in the boot of her car. Her mother later read her dairy and found out she had been sexually harrassed and tormented by her fellow co-workers. I think they were afraid that she may eventually squeal on them (they were operating a stolen credit card ring and stole credit cards from the baggages they handled which had netted millions), so they/he decided to murder her.
The case in New York where a minor fender bender accident led to the shooting death of a teacher when he confronted the other hot temperd motorist.
The case in Texas where this man had exposed himself to boys on a street in the late 1970s. A woman in her house sees it and calls the police. Her son confronts the man and takes the keys from the man's vehicle. When the son refused to give the keys back the man shot him multiples times with a pistol and than went back to his truck to get his rifle and finished him off with rifle shots.
The case in California where this woman restuarant chef was found raped and bludgeoned to death with a large stone on a remote road. She had a nasty dream that her husband had beaten her really bad a few days before and decided that she should leave him for a while. Her premonition was true mostly but it turned out to be her hot tempered Mexican co-worker who murdered her.
There were also some other segments which were intersting.
I don't like ghost segments, lost loves, clairvoyance segments.
I found them to be very boring & uninteresting.
I only like & watch about 0-2 segments in each episode of Unsolved Mysteries and they usually have about 4-5 segments per episode. I don't even watch the others, I just skip them.
