What cases do you want to see on Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Guardian · 01-19-2019, 02:16 AM

Obviously we just got the word about the revamp, and there are similar “what cases” threads, but with the Netflix announcement, I wanted to begin a thread dedicated to that. So, with the Netflix reboot, what cases would you like to see on Unsolved Mysteries? Old cases, new cases, whatever.

Off the top of my head:

-The Boy in the Box (it’s all over YouTube and other social media, but I’d love to see it get the UM treatment).

-The Jamison Family

-Maura Murray (has been all over other crime shows but it’s such an intriguing case, I think UM would almost have to do it)

-Teekah Lewis disappearance

-The Brown Lady of Rainham Hall (good old fashioned ghost segment).

It's an old case now, but Amber Haggerman from Arlington Texas.

Also would like to see them do some spin offs of older cases. For example, the IH 70 Killer was linked to a murder in Arlington that is still unsolved, but that murder was only mentioned in the segment.

Brian Shaffer, the Ohio State med student who walked into a bar, and apparently never walked out. It's one of those cases where there's multiple theories but all of them have holes in them. It's the most baffling case I've ever read about, including any that were featured on UM before.

The Saudi journalist case should get the U.M Treatment.

Brand-new cases that I've never heard of. I don't want a rehash of something that's been recently been done on another true crime show.

I am excited to see what they get for the ghost/UFO cases.

it may not be a bad idea. that murder still makes me sick and I hope our country fights for him more than they have. things seem to have gotten conveniently quiet now. in its heyday UM did not fear taking on famous cases that confronted political topics. If they can get inside information and bring it to public light with a mysterious twist I think it would work.

I agree. I like that UM had this mindset for the most part and would mix in the more famous cases every so often.

Cases nobody's heard of. Including the internet websleuths.

Is that the one where there was literally only one door in or out of the bar and it had a security camera recording it, the guy goes into the bar but is never seen leaving?

That's the one.

Boston's vanishing men.

At least 12 men have mysteriously disappeared/washed up in the Charles River or nearby waterways since 2003.

Police are denying there's a serial killer:

That would be a terrific case for them to do. Still one of the biggest unsolved case in Columbus, for sure.

Unsolved mystery: 10 years later, Brian Shaffer still missing

I only learned about this story last night when it was featured on LivePD.

The basic summary: House fire, remains of grandparents and pets are found, brother and sister are never located.

JUST SAY NO to ghosts, UFOs, fertility statues, rocks, et. al.

I don't mind mysterious/creepy supernatural stuff, but the goofy haunting/magic ones are just silly. The last few seasons of UM were overrun with these type of stories.

That said, I really hope they get back to the classic unresolved murders, missing people, and unsolved crimes that made the show what it was.

I second the notion to skip the cases that have been overdone or are high profile. Those have been covered to death (no pun intended) and I would like to see some stories that we don't know much about.

I don't care if they are a little longer, but I agree with Kane that the best format is still 3-4 stories per episode.
