Was Ted Kaczynski also the Zodiac Killer? Just watched the season 9 premiere episode and that’s the main case. I don’t think so but others might think different. He could not possibly have been the Zodiac Killer. He would have been too young and the timelines don't add up. When he was arrested they went through everything with a fine toothed comb. If he was Zodiac they would have found evidence. You have to also consider that their motives were completely different. Ted Kaczynski's motives were political. Zodiac (at least based on his letters to the press) was motivated entirely by misanthropic sadism. That segment is retrospectively a deeply infuriating sit lol. Worse I know at least one podcast re-examined that possibility not that long ago. It’s an inherently interesting connection due to the people involved but it’s just a step or two above Stephen King killing John Lennon or a group led by Bill Cosby/Oprah forcing Dave Chapelle off the air in terms of how likely it is they actually happened.

I have it on again as background sound, occasionally looking over. Some of the saddest stories are the missing kids. Sometimes they do an age progression and then another age progression of the same kid on updated episodes. That just makes it all the more tragic.

Along with Sightings, one of the scariest shows ever.

The original episodes with Robert Stack were super scary as a kid. I remember there was one where a guy went to a hotel/resort somewhere for the purposes of writing a book that had something to do with revealing something about a political person and then a few days later they found him dead in the bathtub and they said it was a suicide but he had a bunch of weird wounds that he couldn’t have done himself and all of his luggage and papers were missing, I can’t remember the dudes name, I’d like to read up on it and see what the real story is.
In retrospect a lot of the supernatural stories were major BS(Philadelphia Experiment with the teleporting Navy ship) but the way they told it you were ready to believe it all. lol

This was on the Roku channel for a while, and Pluto TV airs it 25/7. I think the only season that is missing on both is the one with Virginia Madsen co-hosting.
Unsolved Mysteries was good until around 2000 or so, any time the intro music got changed, it was always a downgrade. It went from the eerie music that made me cry as a kid, to the Peruvian flute sound in the mid 90's, then the sped up techno version, which was where I stopped watching.
My favorite part of the show was always the Updates, sometimes you just wanted to high five the person next to you when you heard Robert Stack say that. He had one of the greatest voices of all time.
Speaking of Robert Stack, it always annoyed me that Keely Shay Smith would refer to him as "Bob"...you call him Mr. Stack!!!
In like 1996, we recorded the episode of Ira Einhorn and the ghost of Grace Brown. We watched it so often that I could probably recite it by heart.
The messed up case is the two boys on the train tracks. I watched another insight to the details of the case, and that is most obviously a cover up. The fact that the witnesses started disappearing and ending up dead, to the DA being caught as super corrupt, to the coroner coming up with strange conclusions as to how these people were dying, including someone missing their head and him saying that a dog ate the head, skull and all.
