Robert Stack in a raincoat, standing in the middle of a dark, hazy graveyard asking us to join him is the stuff of nightmares..

Never ever go to meet your abuser one last time that’s typically when they plan on killing you. They always say we need to talk. You don’t actually need to talk. That’s just them trying to manipulate and control the situation.

The reenactments are better than the day time soap operas of that time lol. Wish they were a tad longer, the acting is actually very good!

The part of the Minns case that irritates me the most is he should not have been allowed to come into her house when the police brought the search warrant. The warrant allows only the police entrance, it was not okay for the police to tell him to come on in. It doesn't do Barbara much good, but I'm so glad his ex-wife got half his fortune.

Katherine must of really felt depressed after loosing her husband of 38 years. She did not open any of her social security checks, it's so sad how her house was unkept. But depression can tear the best person down, if there loved one is no longer here on earth. For her sake, I hope she is with Gilbert. True love cannot be destroyed and in this day and age is very, very rare almost nonexistent in most cases. May Kathrine RIP🪦🕊🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

RIP Robert Stack. Even though your voice gave me PTSD as a child, the world misses you.

In July of 1994, Richard Minns, 64, was arrested at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on suspicion of obtaining several passports with fraudulent information and names. He received a four-month sentence and fined $100,000. In November of 1994, he was deported because he was in the United States illegally. Minns has never been charged in the attempted murder of Piotrowski although police have said they believe he was involved. Piotrowski did win a $58-million dollar civil judgment against Minns and others for the attempted murder. Adrian Franks of Houston, Texas, hired by Dudley Bell to follow Barbra and who tapped her phone and recorded her calls, and who was hired to kill Piotrowski and installed a remote kill switch on her car died of cancer in 2018. Richard Minns died in England in 2016.

The music and Robert Stacks voice bring such a feeling of childhood nostalgia that it almost hurts

Always seems to be a set of rules for rich people and a different set of rules for everyone else.

Jenny has been totally let down by the justice system. One perpetrator get sentenced to 38 years and gets out if 4. Mims eventually serves 4 years for "tax fraud", he never has a successful case brought against him for murder-for-hire, and the civil suit against his is dismissed. To say he's beat the system is an understatement.

The moral of the story is never to get involved with married rich men! Anytime a woman finds out a man is married she should run for the hills nothing but the bad thing will happen especially if the guy is rich af. I felt bad for Barbara but it's great she turned her life around for the better but it really sucks she never got any true justice!😡

The Music!! For that sick and twisted 80’s love story.

Geez was the saxophone player sleeping with the director!!

Damn that Richard Minz story could be an awesome movie lol

Minns case -- Shows how the system works for people with money and connections, and how it can be manipulated to abuse and violate innocent people like his unfortunate girlfriend. She was unfortunate because she loved a man who wanted to punish her with his power for simply leaving him when he deserved it. He sullied her record, pressed unfair charges against her, bullied her, and then tried to take her life. He then because of his money and power, went on to travel and have success. She is strong and has overcome his damage, and she works helping others. I admire this. I don't admire this Minns man, who has so much, yet has chosen to hurt and victimize people that actually loved him.

Richard was Lowdown cold-hearted ruthless and didn't care about nobody but himself he was pathetic. I love Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack I could watch him all day long.

Piotrowski's biggest mistake was not returning the items Minns had given her. I don't care if they were gifts, it gave him an excuse to dial up the harassment. Cut all ties then they have nothing to hold over you.

How crazy is it when Delta Burke shows up at your house in the middle of the night and wants to know if you’re sleeping with her husband?

Thank you Film Rise for uploading this series.. We all loved it back in the day.. Thank you for giving us Robert Stack.. it’s like seeing an old lost friend 💕💕

Barbara was naive to think she could take all the property in the home and not expect since retaliation. If you want out, GET OUT. Don't take your time packing bags.

Alex Cooper's case resolution was rare. Its refreshing to see someone get on TV and simply admit they made a mistake and try to make it right. Wish more people saw it that way. No one is perfect, and a lot of people may have done what he did. If you screw up like that just man up and admit it. There is always forgiveness if you ask.

Wow, can't believe they actually filmed at Shipley's for the reenactment , this is why Unsolved Mysteries was truly the best. No one comes close to the true to story and true to life reenactment !

2:00 Magnetic Attraction 28:27 OR heir 35:39 Man who never was 40:13 Money clip Murder

When a relative was found, why was half of her estate given to the state?? Wrong!

cant beleive Richard got away with all that and her civil suite was even dismissed. Smh.

Barbara made herself a victim. Even when she found out her partner was married, she still went ahead with the affair. Amazing how she recalls the warning signs, but went ahead with the relationship anyway. I have no pity for this woman. Literally had signs flashing in front of her face Richard was a tyrant. No mention of the wife who had to find out her husband was having an affair. How devasting it must of been for her. At least she was clued on enough to divorce her husband.

I didn’t find out about this show until about a year ago and I’m hooked now!!! One of my favorite shows now, this and forensic files!!!

Man… these actors and actresses are amazing makes the cases more visual and alive.

Idk why this stuff helps me fall asleep. I think Robert Stack's voice soothes me to sleep

That saxophone really puts me in the mood

This is why I gave up on dating. Things go from awesome to hating each other lol. I’ll just be single.

This and the original FF were the best shows of their type. Fascinating and entertaining

Katherine and Gilbert are now fishing together again. This makes me so happy.😌💕

Jenny will never see a cent of that $50.000000 compensation . There's a special law for the rich as she's finding out .

Silly Barbara! She had her eyes open so many but chose to ignore the signs and kept going back. The only person Richard was in love with was himself.

I always liked Robert Stack episodes

Sad what happend to the old lady and she loved her cats too aww. She was probably very depressed after husband died.

The case of Katherine Bennett made me sad in how she ended up as a recluse and isolated despite friendly neighbours coming to give her stuff. I appreciate seeing neighbours who do that. The only consolation to that is that she at least knew 38 years of love with her husband in her life and I hope they both are together wherever they are.

The Undertaker looks over his shoulder for Robert Stack in graveyards.

Guys outta control because he's on roids

Played this theme on Halloween outside the house. Parents turned right around.

my whole life could be in unsolved mysteries

That man in the first story was truly a sociopath. I am related to some people who are like this.

I know a miscarriage can be devastating, but maybe it was for the best it happened because her problems would have likely multiplied with that guy. So glad Barbara was able to move on from that violent lunatic she was with. Great she found life in a new town with a new name and a husband who seems to be giving her love she deserves.

Proof that justice is not equal.

Beauty queen👑 and straight A+ Medical 🚑 student.... Barbra is a catch...!!!

The government had to take half of Catherine’s money instead of awarding it all to her relative!

How and WHO allowed her civil suit to be dismissed after all this? 4 years for attempted murder?? This shows that money controls justice. It's irreprehensible, a shameful mocking disgrace of the American "Justice" System. I applaud Jennie (and WHY did they give out her new name??) and her amazing husband, who is more of a man than the tool "O'Toole" ever was and the doctor will be long remembered for far more than Tool will EVER be.

What I want to know about the Richard Minns case is whether anything was done about the corrupt cop and others in the police who enabled and facilitated his atrocious behaviour.😡

Minns went on to live a full 28 yrs after contracting Barbara's murder. He died in January 2022 @ age 93.

wow, the first story, that's horrific.

Wow, dude got away with everything.

That Katherine Bennett story is my biggest fear to be all alone in the world with no one

Why did Oregon get half the estate when they found a relative? Surely inheritance tax isn’t 50%.

The smooth jazz in these old episodes is incredible

Well, Barbara's new name is no longer a secret. geez......

Well, the State of Oregon got tricky with the balance of that estate it seems. They held the money for remaining​ potential heirs, and when none seemed forthcoming, rather than award that remainder to the one heir, they kept it for their coffers. That's not just objectionable, it's crooked.

Why did the state treasury get half of the estate 😑 don't seem right to me

11:00 - "A blk man approached me and I knew immediately..." When you're at Shipley's Donuts at night (usually in Houston's shadiest locations), and a brotha is coming up on your window, you know shit's going down!

Richard Minns passed away earlier this year.

Barbra/Janni is so pretty-she looks a lot like the actress Lindsay Wagner

22:13 crooked judges? No one is going to believe that either 🤣😂👍🏻

Is Skip Bayless playing Richard Minns in the re enactment? 😂😂😂

25:13 sounds like OJ had a hand 🖐🏻 in this.

Wow this is one of those episodes you realize the people who made it put so much hard work into getting these stories across to get peoples attention even during cynical days and they're watching TV to escape their own major problems.....

Richard Minns moved to Israel permanently and somehow became a notable artist despite his horrid past. There are KZfaq videos of him speaking. He had an interesting past. Used to work as an editor for The Houston Chronicle after graduating from Texas. Later shifted towards advertising and ended up gaining ownership to a chain of gyms--whom he was doing advertising work for--after the owners ran out of money. This was right about when gyms were starting to become popular, so the business took off not long after.

Thanks for bringing back this brilliant show and would binge watch this show all the time ,loved it ,

@HoustonPD shame your department is filled with corruption.

I wonder how hard and how long state officials really look for living heirs? I bet not very hard or for very long. Why would they? If they find no one the money goes to the state coffers.

'I love you so much I lied to you & tricked you to get what I wanted.. because I love you so much'. oh, okay then !

Men like that, not to mention all the people in this comment section blaming the woman, are why I say TRUST NO ONE

I'm so happy for her Jannie Smith, 💓she made a life for herself. Good for her 👏. That gives me hope, even though I'm much older. 🤷‍♀️. Mine was botched surgery, that has left me disabled. I'm going to keep fighting 💪😤.

that Catherine Widow from Oregon probably started hoarding her house after her husband passed away

Mims never being questioned by the police doesn't surprise me in the least considering he has such a chummy relationship with them

Cooper’s family is so sweet.

Alex Cooper walking in the park with his family and grown children behind him looks like a scene out of a Wes Anderson movie. Come on even the Missing Poster has that Wes Anderson Font "Have you seen this man? " Wes Anderson should turn this into a movie with Bill Murray as the dad and Tilda Swinton as the wife :)

27:22 Isn't there something about a Doctor not supposed to have a relationship with a client? anyway happy for her she got her life back on track.

It’s sad listening to Janni’s story. She went through so much.

I know I've watched these over and over, but when I'm at work i listen on my pods all day. But i go home and watch them also. Along with Cole the corn star, Brian cole Sonne.

I dont understand d why Oregon Treasury got any of that money

Good for Barbara/ Jenny. O'Tool proves that money can buy you the law.

You see how the state works the relative gets half the state keeps the rest. Heres a tip SPEND IT before you die or put the money in the bank in the name of the people you want to give it to cause the state and lawyers are just going to take it all. Why give a lawyer a 3rd of your money when you can give it to your family

Guy takes his pregnant wifes stuff and kicks her out, what a winner he is

Ohhhh man what an amazing TV show.

26:13 - Weird choice to play classic porn music for this part.

Can't help but to say Katherine's cat is so cute!

This first one made me sick they should have all been in prison for what they did for her. The officials let her down

Barbara has a good attitude.

It’s sad that because he has cops as friends that they are letting him off

I was wondering in which season we'd see the Devereux-Johnston connection segment, another very intriguing and scary layer of that chilling Chuck Morgan story.

13:29 crooked cops? No way, nobody will ever believe that. 🤣👍🏻

she changes her name to protect herself and you tell everyone on this program what it is. that's smart. Why don't you reveal her address and the best time to catch her home while you're at it?

Katherine bennet ,so sad,how can 7 billion people be on a planet n someone be so alone :(

Right, Barbara couldn't see that coming from King's, he cheated on his wife but no way he could start cheating on her.SMH

I absolutely HATE governments. The law CLEARLY stated that the estate was to go to the nearest blood relative. They find one, and only give her half. When they couldnt find any other relatives, they should have given her the other half. They didnt and kept it. Like WTF? My will? Im giving EVERYTHING to people. Ill be damned if the state is going to even get a pencil from me. No way.

It is easy to blame in life. We as human beings learn through experiences, and it is often hard to see ahead of time or even while one is experiencing an event what another person is really like. Many many many people have made the mistake of trusting the wrong person or people, yet I do not think they were solely to blame. Because as I said, we learn through experience, and the most EVIL people can often be the most charming and or manipulative.

I was so proud of Barbara I cried !! You go girl

Nah, I.would have just left without taking anything. I would have run for my life!

Another great episode

Does anyone know why the distant relative only received half whereas the treasury took the other half?
