Christmas episodes?
Like many people, I'm stuck at home this year. I thought it might be nice to watch Christmas episodes of Unsolved Mysteries. I know there's one about a young woman who leaves a work party and is killed. Then there's another about a women and child/children who are killed December 23ish? I can't remember names though. Are there others?

Watch season 5, episode 14 on YouTube. The entire episode was packaged as Christmas themed. It aired December 23, 1992. Robert Stack even wished the viewers a safe and happy holiday season at the end of the episode. Segments included....
Chuckie McGivern - Little boy who suffered from Reye's syndrome had a miracle recovery at Christmas time. Russell & Jean Johnson - Tried to locate the person who sent them checks at Christmas time when they were strapped for cash. They called him their angel. Anthonette Cayedito - They sort of cheated by adding this one. There is no Christmas connection to the actual story except for the fact that Anthonette was born on Christmas Day 1976. Neil Jennings - I don't think this segment originally aired with this episode. I think it replaced another a segment that never got transferred by film rise. No relation to Christmas. The end of season 7 features the rescue of the Dover family by some good Samaritans at Christmas time when their van collided with another car in Mexico. |

The Hungarian family who lived in a boxcar post-WWII and were helped by an American soldier might be a nice one to watch. There's a scene with a Christmas party, and I particularly like the part immediately afterward where the soldier brings the parents a bottle of wine and they spend time together.

I have to say that I HATE the Dover family segment. Four people were killed in the other car, and they only mention in in passing, as if it was just a side note. It’s so callous. They could have at least taken a moment during the reunion to pause and remember the people who lost their lives ( to be fair they may have done that and UM just edited it out.) |

I completely forgot that Harry Potter visits Chuckie. And that was before any Harry Potter books were ever published

Beating a helpless old man, shooting him in the back of the head, setting his corpse a blaze and then stealing his truck isn't something that's going to put me in the holiday spirit. They probably should have thrown the hatbox baby in there instead. At least that one is Christmas themed. |

"Silent Night" still gets me down due to that poor mother committing suicide after losing her six kids. Also can't listen to "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" due to JonBenét but luckily I hated that song anyway.
