Robert Stack and his calm demeanor and haunting voice made this series what it is..

The BEST host in Human history. Hands down.

why are 80's documentaries just so much better, love them

Unsolved Mysteries taught me that the lazy small town sheriffs think everything is an accident or suicide.

Hearing his voice brings back so many memories of my childhood...

Im 27 I had heart attack last year cant afford my meds. Its 5am cant sleep cause of heart pain. And heart burn every night thinkin about callin 911. How strange unsolved played this video tonight for me I watch this everynight. Tonight feels different tho. God bless everybody Do good today and everyday

Ahhhhh I'm so excited this show is on KZfaq!!! 🤯🤯🤯🎉🎉🎉

I love all the old cars they use in the older stories! So cool. In one story from the fifties they used one of those wooden panel cars which have wooden doors! Totally epic!

The case of the woman with amnesia makes me cry because I lost most of my past due to a traumatic brain injury and still trying to remember things 11 years later

Matt Groening probably got the inspiration for the Chief Wiggum character after watching Sheriff Allmaras.

The sheriff in that Bonderson case: what a keystone cop. I feel sorry for the residents who lived in that community when he was sheriff. Probably a lot of guilty perps walking around free.

Sheriff objected to autopsy? That makes no sense. The police should be interested in finding the truth. The sheriff just seems to want to prove his theory is correct

Damn, I wasn't expecting this type of update in the mysterious death of Kathy Bonderson. Shocking. I hope the Sheriff was still alive when they closed the case, and that he saw how dead wrong he was. Captain Byram did a terrific job.

Great work by Captain Byram and Fire Marshal Fogel. That sheriff needed a kick in the ass for being so dang stubborn.

Good to know the Santos family has answers

Sarah's case was really bizarre. Imagine waking up now losing sixteen years of your memory and believing it is 2005.

The first story really messed me up, I can’t even fathom having something like that haunting my family. May they all Rest In Peace.

Hugs to the Santos family 😔

When this story Aired Many ppl called to suggest a diagnosed test Have proven to be correct the cause of death of the 6 Santos family members was Brugada Syndrome a genetic disease that causes sudden death from heart arrhythmia as a result of this condition the surviving brother frank now wears a implanted heart defibrillator other members have been treated with medication since than there have been no deaths reported in the family I'm finally glad they were given the correct diagnosis

From the time I first saw the Kathy Bonderson segment over 20 years ago, even as a kid, I thought that sheriff was full crap. A car hits the railroad tracks so hard that it ruptures the fuel tank and causes a fire? That's just not physically possible. It was clearly the husband. It's a damn shame he continued to live as a free man until he took the cowardly way out and committed suicide.

Hmm. About the amnesia: When my mother was sixteen, she was struck by a drunk driver and in a coma for six months. She had complete retrograde amnesia and I recently asked her what it was like from her perspective right after waking up and knowing nobody. Could she even understand what people said to her? She said, "Kind of, but not." She couldn't really explain it to me, but she said that everything was so confusing and frightening to her that nothing really seemed to make sense at first; that it went just beyond not recognizing anyone in her family, or not recognizing herself in a mirror. My mother didn't know what shoes were, what food was, what a doctor was. She sensed it, in a way, she said, but her doctor saying, "I'm your doctor" wasn't something she really understood until he said, "I will take care of you," something she did understand, so she trusted him. By and large...she had to relearn everything more or less from the ground up. She didn't even know food was to eat, but the act of eating made her understand quickly enough. It was like reconnecting dots to vague concepts and it would make sense eventually. My mother was fortunate that she had so many siblings who willingly stepped up to the plate to help her along. She relearned to walk, talk, read, write, and managed to return to school within a year, and met my Dad not long after. She's just beyond lucky that she made a complete physical recovery aside from the amnesia, because her body was a shattered mess. She was also very fortunate that she re-established family bonds with her siblings and mother (yes, her father too, but he was a bit of an asshole from everything I've ever known about him). They had been told she was going to die, so all her stuff had been given away, so there wasn't much to remind her of what she had lost...which didn't help. To this day she will never get back most of her memory. After a couple of decades she did begin to remember bits and pieces of her past, and she remembers the day of the accident, but not actually being hit. She was lucky to be alive, as her first boyfriend was killed and the drunk driver barely got a slap on the wrist for the entire mess. I've seen newspaper clippings and photos of the wrecked car, as well as heard my aunts and uncles talk about it. It was terrible all around. Mom's got a few body scars and partial false teeth, and a very slight tendency to be forgetful, but she made a recovery they predicted could not happen.

Man. I think growing up watching shows like Unsolved Mysteries and America's Most wanted is a reason I don't like people.

That sheriff is so determined not to admit he was wrong that he is grasping at straws and refuses to see reason.

Sarah DiGennaro passed away on June 10, 2018, she was 81 years old. She recovered some but never did recover all of the lost 16 years of her life.

My uncle was 24 when he died in his sleep from an unknown heart disorder. He had just gotten life insurance and had a full check up. Nothing was caught in the tests. My mom was pregnant with me at 7 months when her brother died. I never got to meet him.

I really feel sorry for poor Sarah. Losing 16 years of your memory would be absolutely horrifying.

“Even the family car looked like something out of the space age.” Shows 1976 Pontiac Grand Prix

My heart absolutely breaks for this family! How much tragedy can one family in your? So it's just terrible. We all have so much to be thankful for. Heart wrenching..

This Sheriff strikes me as either prideful or lazy. He most likely thinks he is smarter and therefore correct regarding the case so his mind is closed to any other possibilities. He is literally IGNORING all the evidence to the contrary. He is the only one involved who says there are no facts which point to foul play. Edit: I'm so glad they posted that update. It really makes me feel validated. I knew that he was wrong. Smh. Why are so many law enforcement officials so incredibly arrogant when it comes to admitting that they're incorrect or that they've made a mistake? It's insane how close to impossible it is to get verdicts overturned or cases reopened etc, simply based on the fact that so many of these men are just full of pride and can't admit when they're wrong.

the woman with amnesia had a hemiplegic migraine, its a rare type of migraine that i get myself, once time it took me 3 days to be able to talk again. very scary and dangerous.

what a legend rest in peace robert you made the show what it was

My mom lost her dad when he was 47 to heart attack, her brother and uncle to the same thing all under the age of 60. Back in 2000 i was sitting at home and all of a sudden my heart started beating weird and i got light headed, went to the ER and was given digoxin to correct it. Was told to follow up and i never did. 2004 it did it again and my neighbor rushed me to the hospital. I told the dr about my previous episode yrs earlier. He had a cardiologist review me and did an ultrasound of my heart and notice i had an abnormality of my natural pacemaker. I was given medication to control the afib and to this day i think thats what killed my grandfather and uncles. I think it was something genetic.

The amnesia was caused by the two ruptured vessels, and the fact she had any memories left at all was do to the operation. The fear of suddenly having that much time missing would make anyone be reluctant to say anything. Although.... "...her taste in, music, fashion, and dance was that of a 23 year old, not a woman approaching middle age..." *That should have been a HUGE clue to her family!*

I had Amnesia from the drugs when I was in the hospital for Gallstones. I knew that I worked somewhere but I didn't know where or what I did. I didn't remember my house but I knew my family because they came to visit me at the hospital. It came back in a couple days but it was scary.

Wow: a clean sweep! All the call-in stories solved by the present day!

1:44 Broken Hearts 12:32 Burning Car 22:23 Armored Car killings 33:10 Amnesia

Cars don't catch fire like that, no matter what you do to them. The fact that a cop doesn't know that is more than a little disturbing.

Final segment: Wow, losing your memory on Friday the 13th. Sarah DiGenarro passed away in June 2018, at the age of 81. She never fully regained her memory of the 16 years she lost.

The Santos Family story is so sad but I'm glad they have information now about a name for this heart condition.

UPLOADER, thank you! thank you! thank you!. I am so grateful to you for uploading these videos, I've wanted to watch these so badly. there use to be a uploader in 2008 named ''Unsolved mysteries can't stop me'' at least I think that was their name, but they to uploaded unsolved mysteries videos and I use to binge their vids but they disappeared shortly after discovering their account. I hope they don't pull you down too quickly, or not at all for all of our sake. thanks again.

Stories like the Santos family are how legends of family curses start

I recently lost my son last year, at 5 months. I never got to know him. But that is a pain that will never really heal.. That poor mom lost her husband, 4? of her children, and a grandchild.. I couldn't even imagine !! And all were so young, too. Breaks my heart for her.. God 💔 I'm so glad that family was able to get some answers and treatment. I only wish they had caught it sooner..

I'm so glad that family found a way to combat their genetically inherited heart condition! I sincerely hope none of them have to worry about losing a loved one from it ever again! 🙏

I love this series! But it seems so insane that the deputy really believed that Kathy died in an accident before and after all the evidence

I can't believe a mom would feel the need to fake not having amnesia. You had an aneurysm, dude, you don't have to be ok...

If you just finished the last episode and wondered why no one would suspect Marie Hilley of poisoning her family, this Santos' story offers some insight as to why.

The guy who got 3 years for the robbery and denied involvement in the murders got off super easy. There are cases where the others participants get a hefty sentence even though they didn't pull the trigger

That Loomis robbery is easily one of most infamous in LA history. Those poor guards didn’t deserve to die, their only fault was recognizing the ex employees. Like Al Pacino once said “why leave a living witness”.

The Bonderson case: Imagine that if the Sheriff had concluded it was a possible homicide they could have solved it all in possibly a few days or weeks. Instead, the case went cold for nearly 20 years while the husband got away with murder. Good job, Sheriff. Such a shame the prick passed away before finding out what a major screw-up he was.

Sounds to me like old Sherrif Allmaras might have been a bit reluctant to really solve Kathy Bonderson’s case. Possibly he was a buddy of her husband 😐.

It was 1976 and she thought it was 1960. She must've fainted when she first heard Peter Frampton's "Do you feel like we do."

I have that same condition and have an ICD as well. Prayers for that family....it sure was hard for me

If something that life threatening ran in my family, there's no way I'd have any kids. The risk of me passing it on would be far too great.

It's obvious she was murdered before the car accident. I believe the Sheriff Andy Taylor Wannbe was in cahoots with the husband or was such an insecure little man who made up his mind from the beginning and couldn't face the fact he was wrong.

Excellent episode. The car crash one always got me the sheriff's conclusion. The car made two red marks somehow why red ? Without the cars frame/body making contact with the tracks. Started a large fire yet both the fuel line and tank were both intact. Did he think the 2 ounces of fuel in the carb somehow splashed out and did all that?

Outrageous that after multiple deaths in the family that it took a television broadcast with viewers calling in. Hopefully now there's some type of hospital communication network?

Shows you couldn't watch before bed because you'd be scared senseless afterwards 😭

Was always grateful for Rex Kramer hosting Unsolved Mysteries.

Santos family story is so sad 😔😭

I’m 40 years old and it only takes this intro song to make me scared to go into the kitchen at night

22:15-22:35 Golly, you know what? I’m kinda curious towards more details! What made the investigators think to go after her husband? And what was his (possible) motive? EDIT: I Google Searched this case, and found it on the Unsolved Mysteries Wiki Page. According to it, ”During the investigations over the years, it was discovered that Robert had started dating another woman a few months prior to Kathy's death. Also, he had taken a $50,000 life insurance policy out on her just two months before. It was also discovered that Jamie, who had seen her car driving by him on the night of her death, had stated that Robert was the one driving it. His girlfriend confirmed this, as she had written about it in her diary. Investigators now believe that Kathy was killed at her home and placed in her car. They believe that Robert drove her to the railroad crossing and set her car on fire. The case is now considered closed. Sheriff Ed Allmaras passed away in 1997.”

I plan to be a middle aged women that also listens to the same music i listened to as a teenager and early twenties.

Watching this when I was just a young buck with my Mom… Lights off and everything … Robert stacks voice and music would freak me out but was addicted to watching it with my Momma … Talk about nostalgia….

I really love how the remakes follow the pacing of the original. I wish they would add updates like these too. The updates are awesome.

If the fuel line and gas tank was intact and the fire wall was in the front it could only have started by someone else.

So glad all the episodes are back up.They all disappeared yesterday for some reason

Is anyone going to Mention how Donatila Leonardo almost has TWO Ninja Turtles names? Lmiao. 💜

So sad for the Santos family. I used to live on the island of Guam. It's beautiful and I miss it every day. My youngest son was born there and my oldest went to school there. Can't wait to go back and have my boys visit as adults.

Geez. They went to a lot of effort planning the robbery and didn’t realise the cash would weigh that much? You’d think they would have just emptied half the bag so you could carry it. Much easier would have been bringing backpacks for the cash. 100k in 100 or 50 dollar bills is much smaller than you’d imagine.

I'm so glad that sweet family found help for their heart condition !

I wish I could have the last few years of my memory erased like that, especially of my ex's.

Robert Stack was so funny in the movie, Airplane ✈️

Sarah DiGennaro recovered some of her memories with the help of her family. However, she wished that she could recover all of the memories of those lost sixteen years. Sadly, she passed away on June 10, 2018 at age 81.

Fransico was a very handsome man so sad that most of his children had to inherit his bad genes as well poor mama so much headache and loss 😣💔

Damn this is scary for someone who is young and have an irregular heartbeat, heart murmur and hypertension but I'm 26 and still standing for now. But this episode makes me want to go seek a specialist.

My mom passed from ARVC. That first story scares me. She was healthy always. Then one night she went to sleep ( perhaps it was an after noon nap ) and she left. A genetic disease that often goes undetected till after autopsy. Now myself, siblings and even my own is something that scares me. But … it is now something that I can research and be aware of. Signs, possible symptoms? I am so sad for that family. I am so glad they now have an answer. ♥️ May the ones that passed rest in peace. I believe in the afterlife, I am happy to know they are all together up there. As a family forever and eternally.

I loved watching this show back in the day, loved how perfectly compelling Robert Stack was as the host, and loved hearing updates when mysteries were solved, criminals were caught and lost loves found. But wow - the show actually helped save the lives of those family members when a diagnosis of their mysterious illness was suggested by viewers. That’s amazing!

I was suspecting Kathy's husband since the beginning also cause they didnt mention him being a suspect or investigated. That sheriff was covering him for sure.

The Loomis robbery I remember very clearly. I was 12 at the time and live very close to the armored building, it's still here today and fully operating. There were cops everywhere, glad they caught the guys, they didn't have to kill them. They'll rot in hell eventually.

What a gloomy and drastic plight of this family Santos. May the Lord comfort everybody, but especially, their matriarc who's been through such a very huge amount of pain by losing almost all her loved ones. I'm dumfounded by this!!!

Thank you Robert Stack. As a young boy I watched this show and loved the way Robert talked. My english improved just by watching the show.

Robert Stack is a Legend... Definitely not taking that armored car job after seeing this.

Wow, Sheriff Almeris (?) was an incompetent cop. Refuses to acknowledge evidence because he doesn't want to say he was wrong. Sad.

That sheriff is clueless she was murdered and that car was set on fire. That sheriff is covering something up!

I can't believe that 4 men could kill 3 armored car guards steal 2 bags of money and leave the money behind.

40:25 Sara might have lost some of her memories but she didn't forget how to Boogie down.😁

I have an uncommon heart condition that is apparently genetic called "long QT syndrome" . when I was 21 I passed out and was blamed for smoking weed for my condition haha LOL. I now have a defibrillator/ pacemaker❤

Narrator "She was murdered." Me "Oh her husband 12000% did it." Update "Her husband did it!"

lord, franciscos story .. unbelievable .. such an heartbreak....remarkable outcome thanks to this amazing program

Love the music from this season and earlier seasons. Best music.

That music... love

Good idea to grease your squad car doors for those sneak attacks.

Wow, I feel for this poor family and the heart failure curse they seemed to face. No family deserves this but they are such great examples of true family and how they have all grown closer and persevered from all the negative. I pray for the remainder of the family and for their health. God bless each and every one of them! Yes, I agree with other commenters that Robert Stack made this series so popular and touching! They just don't them the same way they did in the 80s. I feel so lucky to have grown up in the 80's, it was such a great time and even the younger generations all wish they could have lived in the eighties as well. That pretty much tells you what a great time in history and life we all lived!

this takes me back

Such a heartbreaking story of this family who lost 6 family members. May our Lord be with them and to remove this disease completely in Jesus Name! Amen!

They were going to douse the guy in lighter fluid and threatened to set them on fire if the other guard didn't come out this was done at the Great gold robbery at Heathrow Airport in London

Ronson lighter fuel was $1.69 when this episode was recorded 30 years or so ago. It's now $6.75 on Amazon. Inflation is a miserable thing.

Great Show Mr.Robert✨😃

My step mom had exact same thing happen to her. She had anurism rupture and she lost about 30 years. She forgot she was in military and traveled the world she didn't know my dad and they had been married 15 years. She forgot her dad had passed. She thought she was still a military kid and traveling with her dad. She didn't know how to drive anymore even. My dad and her got divorced she was never the same and didn't love my dad anymore.
