What stories should be featured on Unsolved Mysteries? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm sure that many of you viewers of Unsolved Mysteries have ideas for stories that should be featured on the show. What specific stories would you like Unsolved Mysteries to introduce in future episodes? (In other words, don't choose the ones that the series has already shown.)

Good question. Though Im sure they'll never show the stories we want to see

But I really wish they would show a segment on Jack the Ripper. I dont think thats ever been an unsolved mysteries show. But the entire story of the ripper is strange. It would make good dinner conversation

I'd like to see a segment on 'Mothman', actually I think they could do a whole episode on it. With a Richard Gere movie on Mothman from Sony coming out soon, I think there will be a lot of interest in it.

I would like to see Unsolved Mysteries do a segment on rapper Notiorus B.I.G. death.

Actually, the slayng of Notorious B.I.G. was mentioned in the Tupac Shakur segment (which aired shortly after B.I.G's death).

It is about three now young men accused of killing three 8-year-old boys in West Memphis in 1993. The evidence presented against them was circumstantial. Many believe that the wrong people were convicted for the crime. There is more info about it at www.wm3.org and hbo airs documentaries about it called "Paradise Lost." The sequel to the first documentary will air this week.

Oh yes, I've heard of that case. I knew there was a documentary about it, though I haven't seen it.

Thanks to all who responded to my question about what stories should be featured on Unsolved Mysteries. Now, I thought I'd share my ideas about potential stories.

1) I'd like UM to do a story about the Texas murder victim known as "Orange Socks," which was all she wore when her body was found in a ditch in October of 1979. Serial killer Henry Lee Lucas confessed (and later recanted) to the murder. (His death sentence for that crime was reduced to life in prison in 1998 due to increasing doubts about his guilt in that particular murder.) Sadly, the woman remains unidentified. Therefore, I think it would be nice to see Unsolved Mysteries do a segment on that.

2) I think it would also be interesting to see a "Final Appeal" segment on Jeffrey MacDonald. He was the Green Beret doctor who is incarcerated for the 1970 murders of his wife and two young daughters. He claims that some vital evidence (which could possibly acquit him) was suppressed.

3) The BTK Strangler. This unidentified serial killer terrorized the Kansas area during the 1970s. (BTK stands for "bind, torture, and kill.") He is responsible for at least seven murders.

If anyone can think of any more story ideas for Unsolved Mysteries to consider, I'd be happy to hear about them. Again, thanks for sharing your story ideas. And for those who may share theirs in the future, thank you all in advance.

I must confess that I didn't follow UM 100 percent, so I may have missed it... but did they ever do a segment on "Little Miss 1565," the young girl killed in the Hartford Circus Fire in 1944?

I know the case was "solved" in 1991, or so, but I have heard that there still are doubts--that perhaps the dental records of the burned girl did not match the girl who was identified as her.

I've seen morgue photos of Little Miss 1565, and really, her face was relatively unburned, so it seems so odd to me that this case could have remained a mystery so long, inspiring rock songs, and who knows what else.

I'd like to see a segment about the murder of Jill Ann Weatherwax, the former "Miss Hollywood" who was found stabbed to death in Fresno, California about 5 years ago.

Nanny Fine · 04-21-2003, 08:28 PM

Did they air a segment on Cindy Song, a college student from Penn State in State College, PA?

If so I'd be interested in seeing it.

Well, I have one idea- but it is sort of an "old" one....taking place back in the late 70's/ early 80's.

You know the movie "The Serpent and the Rainbow"? I would like to see a segment on the experiences of Wade Davis, and his story. Could zombies be real? I know that its very very far fetched. This territory is more akin to science Fiction rather than science fact. But it would be captivating.....
