Ever since I was a kid this was my favorite show. Now I'm 42 years old and still love this show. The classics

There should be a law about convenience stores/gas stations hiring only one person working. There should always be at least 3 people working - one being a security guard with a gun. So scary!

In Angela's case, the look on her boyfriend Rob's face as he is recounting the events is heart wrenching 😭. I hope there is a resolution someday.

I feel bad for Rob Shafer. He was so close to stopping Angie's kidnapper. I know if he had caught up to him, he would have kicked his ass to kingdom come.

I was severely addicted to Fentanyl. One day, I had used my last patch and wasn't able to get my script filled for another 2 weeks. I cursed God, then broke down and began to cry. Something came over me, I didn't want it anymore. I began to pray non-stop, and for 2 weeks the only withdrawal symptom I experienced was pooping alot. Each time I would be in prayer, thanking Him for expelling that stuff outta my system. The Holy Spirit is real, and it's more powerful than anything on Earth. If you're struggling with addiction, put your faith in God. Believe He IS who He says He IS. He can deliver you.

It’s so strange how Robert Stack’s voice induced goosebumps for me when I’m as a kid, but now I find it so darn soothing.

30:32 The most disturbing abduction of all-time. Straight nightmare fuel. The boyfriend did all he could and is a hero. I pray that one day this case can be solved🤞🏼

“I didn’t need to use the phone anyway” most haunting line ever

This show makes you realize there are genuinely evil people in the world. Harming innocent people, just randomly, out of the blue. Scary.

The Angela Hammond hands down is imo is one of UM scariest segments. That is the stuff of nightmares.

Just saw Angela Hammond on Inside Edition, and decided to watch this episode. They’re still searching for her 30 years later, hopefully justice is served.

That poor kid who tried to rescue his girlfriend :( I cannot even imagine how horrible it must have been to watch that truck drive away, when his car died.

Back when shows we're worth watching, og

Am I the only one who finds it annoying that there are always "sightings" of missing people, even when half the time the person missing is found to have been murdered before the "sightings" occured? I would never put any faith in these. This country has 300+ million people, the odds of someone looking even exactly like someone else are very very good.

It was worth it just to hear Robert Stack say the words "Her Precious Cocaine". Lmiao. 💜

A rare episode without an update. The Angela Hammond segment gave me nightmares the first time I saw it, such a disturbing case. Poor girl, she must have went through hell.

Robert Stack was one of only three men from my childhood that had a voice that scared me. The other two being my father, and Mark Callaway, better known as WWE superstar The Undertaker.

ROBERT STACK ORIGINAL OG !!!

Most excellent TV show ever. They cant make them like this any more and no one can fill Robert Stacks' place. RIP.

I remember the segment about the boys being burned to death in the shack from its original broadcast date. That story has always haunted me. I’m certain they were murdered.

I think the Angela Hammond abduction was the scariest story this show profiled and that says a lot.

Angela Hammond's mom passed away just recently without ever knowing what happened to her daughter! 😢

Anyone notice that whenever Robert was on camera at night, they always had some creepy lit lamppost in the background? Also, anyone notice that he never blinks on camera? I don't think he did that by accident. His creepy stares into the camera helped in giving us all nightmares as kids.

I saw this episode when it originally aired as a kid. The Angela Hammond segment gave me nightmares for years. It's still terrifying.

Sad to say that there hasn’t been any updates on Angela since the “mistaken identity” theory last year. Still not giving up on hope that her case will be solved.

I remember the Angela Hammond case from when I was young. It scared the heck out of me as a kid. And nearly 30yrs later we still have no idea what happened. Its so sad.

I feel so sorry for Rob. He lost two people that night. I can't imagine how haunting that must be

This episode is one of the most infuriating, sad, perplexing I have seen.what monster would burn up those little boys? And I feel so bad for Angela’s boyfriend. I would be haunted too.

Robert Stack, that music, and the show, all so creepy.

I get old but this show never does! The best.

I turn 42 this year. Love this show for relaxation and sleep. No judgement.

I lived in Bullhead when I was young. I loved it there but when I was older my mom told me about all the terrible things that happened there. She told me about taking out of the trash of our family's bakery, finding a woman wrapped up in carpet. She was beaten to near death and was naked. My mom said as she waited for the cops she watched the life leave her. She was never mentioned on the news or the police scanner my Gramps kept around. It was like it had never happened. She said Bullhead had the laziest cops and she never had to worry about a speeding ticket.

The Angela Hammond segment stuck with me all these years. I spent YEARS watching out for the green truck with the fish decal. LOL

RIP The Legend that is Robert Stack

This case has haunted me. I was still 10 years old when this case aired. I'm now 43. I hope somehow her family receives justice. I never forgot this case.

I have intrigued myself with Angela’s case several times over years because I live in KC only about an hour drive. I didn’t live here at the time, but I worked some in Clinton MO the following year. And I don’t recall hearing of it then. Anyway, given the route the kidnapper took, he wasn’t from the area. He took a right turn on a road because the initial road was headed to a dead end into recently flooded Truman Reservoir. There is a dead end sign at that intersection. He turned right and went into an area that didn’t have a clear way out. It goes back around into Clinton. Now, Mr. Shafer said he watched the pickup tail lights disappear into the dust from that intersection. That road is paved. Maybe it wasn’t then, but it has been paved for a long time. If he had turned left, he would have gone to US 13 highway in less than a mile and had a clear getaway. Secondly, the pickup was so distinctive that locals would recognize it. He wasn’t from there. I wonder if he ditched the pickup with her in it into Truman Lake. Why did it never show up anywhere? After turning right there, he would have quickly realized there wasn’t a way out of town going that way. He couldn’t go back into town because the heat was on. But there were several dead end roads going right into Truman Reservoir both south and west of Clinton. That area is rough. It’s low lying, muddy, with old cutoff river channels that never dry up. The water level fluctuates seasonally as much as 30 feet vertically! But always upward from normal pool elevation. When it’s dry, the Corps of Engineers stops letting water out so the level doesn’t go down to allow anything to be discovered. The water is rarely clear there because that is where the Grand River dumps into the reservoir. If he dumped the pickup, he could escape on foot in the night and not be seen. I think that pickup is on the bottom of Truman reservoir or some portion of the Grand River bottoms with her remains in it. All assuming Shafer’s story is true which has some holes in it.

2:13 Medjugorje 18:45 shack fire 30:31 Dial A 40:26 missing bank executive

I remember being little and watching this with my grandma. I’m 28 and still watch it on KZfaq sometimes

She was 7 blocks from his house and stopped to phone him for 30 minutes instead of just stopping by? Someone kept circling and she described him down to a T but didn’t just hang up and leave? He didn’t hang up and come get her even though the dude left and went back to his truck? He didn’t get a license plate? The kidnapper let her roll down her window? Toooooo many questions with Rob’s story. Angie was pregnant and they had only been together a short time.

The kidnapping reminds me of a time when I was in my very early 20's--22 or 23 years old. I had agreed to meet a male co-worker for a date in front of the local video store. He was 2 hours late, it was getting dark outside. (this was in the early 80's) There was a car with darkened windows that kept cruising through the parking lot. It made me so blasted nervous, that I called my Mom and Dad on the pay phone to just be talking to someone. My mother knew right away, that something was wrong. She could tell it in my voice, that I was afraid. Even the clerk in the video store saw me on the phone, and kept watching this strange car, without a license plate and darkened windows that kept slowly driving by me, and sometimes stopped in front of me, and then would slowly drive away, only to slowly come back again. It raised the hair on the back of my neck. My Dad, being in the military, sometimes having to be an MP get upset with what was happening, and ordered me to hang up the phone, and make a run for the closest merchant's open front door--which was about 30-40 feet from the pay phone, which was that video store. He said to run, when the car was the farthest away and circling and that I was being stalked. I should stay on the phone until the last minute, as whoever it was did not want a witness. As I was getting ready to hang up the phone, and make my run, the car having slowed up again, stopped, and moved again to the farthest part of the parking lot--my friend--who was a security guard--showed up in his uniform! He had to work that night. His appearance, scared off whoever was in the car, as suddenly the car just laid rubber and peeled out of the parking lot at a fast rate of speed. The store clerk came out and said police were coming, because HE recognized that car as having stalked a girl 2 days ago, and the driver tried to grab her and she fought back. My parents still on the phone with me, were scared as I was--I hung up with them as police arrived. All I could do was to give them a better description of the car, make, model, primer paint on the driver's door side and dented in bumper on back side of car with bumper stickers. They did get the guy--who had what detectives said was a duffle bag with a "rape kit"--masking tape, rope, handcuffs, hammer, gloves, roll of plastic, and a hatchet, and duct tape--and chloroform. Needless to say, I never, ever hung out anywhere after that waiting to meet someone, ever. This was only 7pm at night in early Fall--in Portland Oregon. To this day, I count myself blessed that I am here, breathing and alive.

Angela Hammond is probably top 5 creepiest unsolved mysteries!

The M.S lady brought me to tears. My nephew has it and unfortunately has the kind where there is no remissions. If only this could happen for him! I read more into Angela Hammond's disappearance. She was pregnant and her and Rob were actually living together when this happened. So he lost her AND the baby.

This show used to scare my ass as a child. And it still does at 31... can’t wait to see this Angela Hammond case y’all keep talking about!!!

The Angela Hammond story is straight nightmare fuel

Those boys had to be murdered, what a coincidence that two men were spotted by the building, with one holding the door shut. I guarantee they were murdered, that was shoddy police work! I always think of that scene in Breaking Bad when the boy is murdered in the desert for accidentally seeing a crime go down, lots of shady things happen in the desert, it is only common sense that they were murdered. It is disgusting that the police didn't do their jobs right to find those two men who were spotted. I feel terrible for the mothers who lost their children.

I love Robert Stack voice!!

The best show ever made.

Gotta love the 80's hair in all of these

God does miracles all the time. I too was cured of my addiction to cigarettes and even tried everything I could like hypnosis but nothing worked. Until one day I finally decided to pray and SINCERELY believe that God could and would heal me of my addiction to cigarettes and He did. From that moment on I never smoked a cigarette again. I did this by praying out loud balling my eyes out in my own living room. Your belief and also expectation in Him is very powerful. I am truly grateful and thankful still to this day. It's been since fall 2009. :D

Never work alone as a female at a somewhat deserted place where you have to close at a late hour or when it´s dark

Only Robert Stack can rock that trench coat like an OG lol

Rob Schafer is devastated about that situation. It’s always been so apparent

Remember when car phones were a thing? 2021, I'm watching this on my phone. Awesome.

This episode about medjugorje has given me so much faith and strength. I wish I knew what happened to Rita Klaus

The way the detective described looking for the truck was odd. He made it seem like an inconvenience. Dude you're a detective in a small town, what else do you have going on? Smh

Used to listen to these episodes while delivering mail at night on the country roads. Now THATS some extra spookiness!!

I wonder why the program never mentioned that Angela Hammond was 4-months pregnant when she was kidnapped. So sad.

"Whats he doing now?" "Maybe I should come down there?" Seriously? Drop the phone and break out....I know he feels crushed.

I KNOW God performs miracles! About 3 years ago I had a severe gallbladder attack. I was in a coma for 9 days and on a ventilator for 11 and I was given a 2% chance of living. My family and friends prayed for me and here I am three days later.

So those two guys burnt a couple of kids alive just because they spotted them smoking a bit of weed but then when a random approaches them asking what's occurring, they openly admit to him they're killing a couple of kids and just tell him to go away?

Gotta have COCAINE to go to SLEEP??!! Now THAT'S a new one... Glad she's gotten help.

Angie, sweetheart, WHY did you stay on the phone when this guy was lurking around and making you uncomfortable?!

Its crazy to me that no one recognized the description of that truck with the decal. The fish jumping on the back window should have sounded familiar to at least one person. Someone has to have seen that truck or known who drove it. A neighbor, a family member, a co-worker or someone in the fishing community. Come on people!

The Scott Johnson case is very sad, but it always bothered me that his friend was never named. Maybe the friend's parents accepted the initial ruling, but I still think his name should've been mentioned.

$25,000 watch? I had to listen to that twice. I remember this show as a kid. My daddy was a homicide cop in Mississippi and appeared on it but I can't find it. These stories are so sad. I hope the girl on cocaine is doing well now. Thanks for putting these up. I'm still going to look for the episode where Annie Herring, the wife of a Mississippi millionaire was kidnapped; that's the one I was looking for but I'm glad to see these again regardless.

I am glad that Rita Klaus's husband was supportive of her. He seems like such a great guy.

Wow...Angela Hammond was apparently about 4 months pregnant when she was abducted. Why was this left out of the show?

I was crossing my fingers for an update on the kids and Angela's story

As a kid, the Angie Hammond case had always intrigued me. Just by the way she was abducted. Recently, I read a theory that Angie’s father was a cop or something and that Angela’s abduction was related to that. It was retaliation for something her father did as a law enforcement officer.

Most people commenting don’t know that back then and in small towns we weren’t so suspicious of people like today that kind of kidnapping was rare and we didn’t have social media her boyfriend loved her and I’m sure he did what he thought was going to be faster than dialing the police 1st. He was a young kid too.

I hope Jill is still clean!

Angela Hammond segment re enactments is one of my favs from the show. Very well done

Lee Young's car phone was used to call to a woman who denied ever talking to him? Well who the hell is she and who did she talk to on that day, then? What a maddening detail to throw in and then never properly explain.

I just watched an episode of "Welcome To Murdertown" about the murder of Trudy Darby and the disappearances of Cheryl Ann Kenney and Angela Hammond. I remember when these stories where profiled on "Unsolved Mysteries" and how the cops thought that the same people were responsible. I had no idea that they'd caught Darby's killers and that they think they're responsible for killing the other two women.

This music scares me so much. I still look over my shoulder when I watch this alone.

I wanted so bad to believe the miracle story. Then I watched the Angela Hammond story and the story of the 2 boys burned alive in a shed. Where was their miracle? It's evil and corruption like this that prevents me from ever having any faith that there is a god.

This show terrified me as a child and it terrifies me as an adult

So they're hoping for eyewitnesses in the boys' case? You have three, one of whom identified the killer by name! Is there something you're not doing now but will do if a _fourth_ witness tells you the same thing? No. So what difference is another witness going to make?

It's funny I used.to watch every episode of this and it seems so fresh now. I remember this episode from the 90's

I keep hearing that this show was scary because of the mysteries. I think the _music_ did that. The spine-tingling music.

That's the unfortunate thing about drug dealers, when it comes between them and their money, nothing means nothing; not even a human life.

it’s amazing how Robert Stack could go from terrifying to hilarious in movies like airplane ✈️

Definitely one of the creepier episodes, its good having the updates on most of them. Has anyone seen episodes from 87 before Robert stack narrated.?

I didn't need to use the phone anyway---creepiest line on UM

I therozied Lee young was abducted shortly after leaving the restaurant on may 4th 1990 at 12:30p.m. killed later his body possibly dumped in a ravine or canal his rose plum colored lincoln car Driving to the Desert where it was set on fire truly a sad case😪😭

staying on rob while the scream was happening was bloody good directing.

I was 8yrs old when I fell in love with this show.

Same. 37 yrs old. An absolute classic

So many of these scary payphone crimes wouldn't have happened now (or even by the 2000s, hell even the late 90s when basic cell phones were common) and Angie would've just texted Rob to hang out again

Segment 1: I'm glad the girl quit cocaine but come on, 1.) She was no longer using then. 2.) She wasn't hallucinating bugs. That gave the sores the time they needed to heal. All-natural.

There’s one final chilling detail in the abduction of Angela Hammond, after she screamed into the phone Rob Shafer heard another person speak most likely her abductor all he said was I didn’t need to use the phone anyway 😈😳 Robert Stack

THis is the most classic UM episode, full of legendary and creepy cases.

Rob should of been blowing his horn ,when giving chase, someone could of jumped in the pursuit.

If I was in the front seat with my kidnapper.. I'm grabbing that wheel and crashing the car into something. No better way to get the attention of anyone!!

Shack Fire one was always so sad...it just sickens me of the law can act sometimes. Using excuses not to continue the investigation to solve the case.

A bummer in a way, because of no updates ... but, onward I go with binge-watching!

Robert Stack, Terry Dunn Meurer, and Johnny Cosgrove all worked as the best team on the show!

Is no one else bothered that the parents didn't even see the fire? Even though 5 possible witnesses did? Not that it's their fault, but why weren't they at least keeping their eyes out? There's always a chance for an accident with boys playing around!

Wow the scream of the poor innocent girl screaming is really scary !!!

I would have said hang up call the cops and driven right to her.
