THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
A new docuseries INVESTIGATES UNEXPLAINED UFO SIGHTINGS, disappearances and murder mysteries
REMEMBER THE LONG-RUNNING
series Unsolved Mysteries, in which Robert Stack introduced real-life cold cases and paranormal events?
Well, this week Netflix joins forces with the producers of
Stranger Things to reboot the series with six new chilling mysteries, using re-enactments and interviews to retell crimes, disappearances and alien sightings. Here’s what’s in store…
BERKSHIRE’S UFO
On 1 September 1969, residents in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, reported several sightings of a glowing, flying object in the skies above. Many of them were children at the time and have spent their lives trying to convince the world that what they saw was real, but other residents remain sceptical of their accounts.
MYSTERY ON THE ROOFTOP
In May 2006, the body of newlywed Rey Rivera was found in an abandoned conference room at Baltimore’s Belvedere hotel, eight days after he mysteriously disappeared. The Baltimore police maintained that the 32-year-old committed suicide, but many people, including his widow, Allison, suspect foul play.
13 MINUTES
Patrice Endres vanished from her Georgia hair salon in broad daylight in 2004, with her remains eventually found 10 miles away. Her son has continued to search for answers, but despite investigators’ resolve to solve the cold case, the events surrounding her death remain a mystery.
HOUSE OF TERROR
In 2011, French police discovered the wife and four children of Count Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès buried under the back porch of their home in Nantes. The family patriarch, was nowhere to be found. Investigators pieced together clues suggesting he might be the killer, including the fact he inherited a gun that was the same model as the murder weapon – but he has never been seen since.
NO RIDE HOME
After attending a party in the predominantly white town of La Cygne, Kansas, in 2004, Alonzo Brooks was found dead in a creek a month later. Acting on reports that a white male at the party allegedly tried to start an altercation with Alonzo, the FBI treated his death as a possible hate crime – but the investigation has netted little information.
MISSING WITNESS
In 2003, 17-year-old Lena
Chapin alleged that she’d been forced by her mother
Sandy to dispose of her murdered stepfather’s body four years earlier. Lena was issued a subpoena to testify against her mother in court, but the authorities were never able to deliver the summons – because Lena had vanished, leaving behind a young son.
Was there a sinister explanation for her disappearance?
