Zachsolved Mysteries

Send us Fan MailSeason 3 of Zachsolved Mysteries has arrived! Prepare your ear-butts, we have a season opener so dynamic with mysteries you may develop a temporary palsy! This week we find ourselves in the fast lane…for MURDER, with the mysterious death of a racing legend and his bejeweled bride. Then we follow the true saga of a square-jawed career criminal who can escape the police, but not our hearts. We found out you can trap a thirst, but you can’t trap a Sas-QUATCH! Oh, and there’s also something very sad, so we do briefly put our asses away before pivoting briskly into ZSM Theatre, where things are somehow even less appropriate.All this and more on EPISODE 60 of ZACHSOLVED MYSTERIES! ZSM is back: We’re sorry, and you’re welcome. Music and additional effects sourced from Fesliyan, Pixabay and Freesound (public domain/CC0). 💙 Mental Health Matters 💙It’s okay to not be okay.

Send us Fan MailWhat you’re hearing today is a ZSM Theatre scene: Stephanie writes a script and Zach goes in completely cold, having never read it – and somehow nails it anyway. This clip is a “lost” episode of All in the Family - an unaired, deeply inappropriate, oddly heartfelt episode that absolutely should not exist… but somehow does. This is from our latest Patreon bonus, a full-on variety spectacular honoring Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner — the partnership behind some of the most iconic, uniting, and deeply felt films of the last forty years (and yes, one movie Roger Ebert truly, profoundly hate-hate-hated).From this lost All in the Family episode, to a documentary-style meditation on love across Reiner’s filmography, to a Castle Rock morning show calmly smiling through the apocalypse, we pulled out every stop.Can love survive tiny Stonehenge failures, fire swamps, friendships, hobbling, and everything that comes after happily ever after?

Send us Fan MailThe crypt doors creak open once more as Stephanie and Zach resurrect last year’s Patreon-only Halloween Spooktacular for the main feed—slightly abridged, freshly exhumed, and scrubbed of its cursed (read: licensed) tunes.Join us for a chaotic séance of devil stories, urban legends, absurd games, and true-crime tangents that should’ve stayed buried.

Send us Fan MailIt’s our Season 2 finale - extra-sized to keep you satiated through the rest of the summer - and we’re sending it off with a Molotov bang, a brushstroke of burnt umber, and a head tilt sharp enough to open an envelope.In this episode, we allow you to escape the way only Oklahomans can—through a dumb, understaffed county jail and an open-door policy that would shock even the Kool-Aid Man. We meet a murderous couple in New Jersey who took sibling rivalry to a whole new level, then visit fair Florence, Italy and hang out with a genius. From there, we ride Stack’s coat tails to Rhode Island, where a missing wife and a husband with a thesaurus leave us with more questions than answers. And to round it out, we uncover a furry browed scam artist in Florida who steals from the government at a dry tortoise’s pace. So come and UNALIVE your boredom with Zach and Stephanie on ZACHSOLVED MYSTERIES!See you in the fall for Season 3 (unless we fake our deaths first...)

Send us Fan MailThis week, we go digging for the truth—and end up unearthing royalty, Rasputin, and a surprisingly efficient storage hack.First, a woman with no name—and plenty of scars—emerges from a German asylum claiming a past that might be tragic, imperial, or both. Then, a small-town sheriff learns the hard way that holiday spirit doesn’t mix well with foster system red tape. And finally, a criminal mastermind introduces a space-saving solution so bold, you’ll never look at dust bunnies the same way again.Plus, ZSM Theatre returns with daytime talk show DNA tests, disembodied mystics, and a Real Housewives-style vodka launch that ends in blood, glass, and at least one misplaced weave.Mystery, mayhem, and multiple identities—because the only thing harder than proving who you are is convincing everyone you're not someone else.Music and additional effects sourced from Fesliyan, Pixabay and Freesound (public domain/CC0). 💙 Mental Health Matters 💙It’s okay to not be okay.

Send us Fan MailThis week, we go vertical.Zach and Stephanie scale the suspicious scaffolding of Unsolved Mysteries: The Netflix Reboot, kicking off with a case so absurd, it could’ve been sponsored by OtterBox and the Freemasons. We’re talking flip-flops, physics, and a suicide theory that collapses under the weight of basic physics.Plus:- ZSM Theatre returns with law enforcement dumbassery, legal loophole Olympics, and a maintenance worker who moonlights in “alterations”.- Stephanie unveils a few eyebrow-raising facts Netflix left out.- Zach debunks gravity.

Send us Fan MailGet ready for an episode that jumps from haunted hilarity to heartbreaking mysteries faster than you can say “tweed jacket.” This week, we confront a killer who might’ve gone from the woods to the stage, investigate a family tragedy with more questions than answers, and share a reunion story that brings tears (and maybe a pistol or two). Plus, there’s a predator on the loose in Buffalo whose methods make your skin crawl—and yes, he’s the reason your cereal tastes funny. We also sneak in a brand-new ZSM Theatre segment, where things get even weirder. Join us - because when the lights go out, even the ghosts can't resist a good punchline.Please learn more about the mission to find justice for Keith Warren and for those who loved him: https://www.thekeithwarrenjusticesite.com/ 💙 Mental Health Matters 💙It’s okay to not be okay.

Send us Fan MailThis week on Zachsolved Mysteries, incompetence isn’t just a theme – it’s a through line. From real-life walk-ins to spiritual walk-outs, from third-person murder denials to to Zach somehow outsourcing his responsibilities mid-sentence, we’ve got the full spectrum.Join us as we spiral through a suspiciously well-staged death scene in Texas (starring an aggressively incompetent man who only slips into first person when accidentally confessing to a murder), a metaphysical phenomenon that raises more questions than souls, and an anonymous trucker with divine timing and zero forwarding address.Plus: ZSM Theatre returns with ghostly accountability hearings, post-resurrection regret, and possibly the worst police force in the multiverse. Also: Zach weaponizes his incompetence so many times we had to check if he was the walk-in.Remember: justice may be elusive, but delusion? Limitless.💙 Mental Health Matters 💙It’s okay to not be okay.

Send us Fan MailThis week, the mystery machine short-circuits in the best possible way. We chase memory gaps, muddled aliases, and missing mid-century mustaches in an episode that asks: what happens when even the backstories get confused?Unsolved Mysteries gives us amnesia, aliases, a small-town murder, and a woman who disappears more often than she shows up—but ZSM Theatre takes it from there, plunging us deep into the metaphorical swamp (and, let’s be honest, a literal one too).There are timelines. There are truths only your upper lips remembers. There are cold cases and even colder coleslaw.If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Hi, I’m… uh…,” this one’s for you.💙 Mental Health Matters 💙It’s okay to not be okay.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we ask the age-old question: is it unresolved trauma or just soul Pilates? Either way, we’re punching our way through some heavy stories—with trench coats, wild metaphors, and a few truly unhinged side quests to help us make it to the bell.First, Zach investigates the mysterious death of a heavyweight boxing icon whose fear of needles might be the most overlooked clue of all. Was it an overdose… or something more sinister? Then, ZSM Theater returns in all its chaotic glory. This time we’re reenacting a real Unsolved Mysteries reunion segment with a genre-defying fever dream of scenes—including a heartfelt bathroom monologue, an emotionally charged gas station meet-cute, and yes, a full-blown musical number. If you’ve ever wanted to watch bureaucracy tap dance while rapping, this one’s for you.As always, content warnings apply (check our show notes). But if you stick around, you’ll get laughs, catharsis, weird history, a haunted belt, and maybe even a reminder that choosing yourself is strength with a side of righteous flair.ZSM Theater: Not on Broadway, but give us time. 💙 Mental Health Matters 💙It’s okay to not be okay.

Send us Fan MailFasten your seatbelts and prepare for an exclusive journey back to the 1970s with our February 2024 Patreon-only bonus episode—now available for everyone! We’re diving wingtip-first into the turbulent and comic skies of MURDER ON FLIGHT 502. This flight might not offer peanuts, but it's packed with a cargo hold's worth of laughs, gasps, and vintage flair.In a film where the fashion is as loud as the engine roar, Robert Stack takes the captain's seat to navigate a cloud of mystery, murder, and mid-air mayhem. Think of it as AIRPLANE! meets Murder, She Wrote—with a twist of turbulence. Our beloved hero stacks a detective’s hat atop his pilot’s cap in a flight where the only thing thicker than the plot is the polyester.From the moment the cabin doors close, you're strapped in for a flight of fancy that's more than just a little bumpy. A stewardess's scattered belongings? Check. A prankster with a penchant for chaos? Double-check. And a cryptic note promising a deadly itinerary? Oh, you bet your bottom dollar that's a check. It's a ride that guarantees both altitude and attitude, delivering suspense and humor at cruising altitude.Will Captain Stack land the plane with everyone accounted for, or will the mystery of Flight 502 prove too much for our intrepid crew?Oh—and somewhere in this sky-high chaos, Stephanie casually predicts Gene Hackman’s death within a year. Buckle up for a hilarious deep dive into this high-altitude who-done-it. This movie can be watched for free on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M6e6j9-RqE  Or InternetArchive.Org: https://archive.org/details/MurderOnFlight502Music and additional effects sourced from Fesliyan, Pixabay and Freesound (public domain/CC0). 💙 Mental Health Matters 💙It’s okay to not be okay.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we ask the big questions: What’s the going rate for a hit gone wrong? Is projectile saliva a legitimate healing tincture? And why does every reenactment look like it was shot on the set of a mid-tier soap opera?We dive into cases full of botched plans, baffling police work, and “red flags” that only exist in the minds of investigators who probably shouldn’t be allowed to operate a toaster oven, let alone solve a murder.Along the way, we:✨ Spiral over how truly dumb everyone in this episode is—from cops to criminals to hitmen who apparently got their training at a discount escape room team-building seminar. ✨ Confront the fact that we’re the most qualified investigators here—and we don’t even leave the house.✨ Contemplate how many life choices had to go wrong for one to go from divorce court to murder plot and back to divorce court.✨ Lose our grip over a horse so legendary that strangers show up uninvited just to gaze upon it.It’s one part true crime, one part unhinged commentary, and all parts Zachsolved. You can watch this Unsolved Mysteries episode here: https://youtu.be/fpsxHU7tORM?si=upgERAaNSXrHtuZv💙 Mental Health Matters 💙It’s okay to not be okay.

Send us Fan MailSTOP EVERYTHING. If you're driving, pull over. If you're operating heavy machinery, set it down gently. If you’re delivering a baby, put it back. Because this is the best episode you've ever heard of anything, ever.This week, we’re slicing into a Farina-era Unsolved Mysteries episode that has it all: a botched heist, a clumsy bank robber who makes even Stephanie look coordinated, a tricked-out drug smuggling tunnel, and a couple’s new dream home turns out to have a “take a grave/leave a grave” policy.But the true star of the show? The Black Dahlia case. Yes, Unsolved Mysteries recycled this segment, but we aren’t! This time we're telling it in a way you've never heard before. What if Dennis Farina tracked down Robert Stack in the afterlife for his tips on the case? What if Eliot Ness could finally reveal what he knew about the killer? What if Stack himself could warn Elizabeth Short about her grisly fate through a time-traveling monologue? These questions and more are explored in a series of scenes that left Zach completely unprepared and absolutely delighted.You do NOT want to miss this masterpiece.💙 Mental Health Matters 💙It’s okay to not be okay.

Send us Fan MailThey said it couldn’t be done, they said it SHOULDN’T be done, and yet—here we are, standing atop a metaphorical moontower, bathing in the eerie glow of history, mystery, and questionable decision-making. It’s our 50th episode, and to mark this milestone, we’re stepping outside our usual Unsolved Mysteries coverage to tackle a case so chilling, so brutal, and so deeply tied to our city’s past that it still haunts Austin today.Before “serial killer” was even a term, Austin’s shadowy figure stalked the night, leaving blood and terror in its wake. In 1885, as the city grew, the Servant Girl Annihilator struck—one of America’s first serial murder cases, yet still largely forgotten. Overshadowed by bigger cities, more infamous killers, and deep-seated racial injustice, the victims—mostly Black domestic workers—were met with indifference from the white elite and incompetence from law enforcement.Join us as we unravel one of America’s first true crime legends, dragging you (consensually) through a case full of eerie footprints, axe-wielding horror, and police work that was worse than a Matthew McConaughey impression at open mic night.

Send us Fan MailMurder, mystery, and a shocking amount of self-reflection—this week, Zachsolved Mysteries takes on the I-70 Killer, a still-unidentified murderer who left a trail of bodies across the Midwest. But before that, we explore eerie after-death visits, where the line between comforting spiritual encounters and terrifying ghostly visions gets very blurry. Then, we ask the important questions: What happens when your job is just supposed to be answering phones, but you accidentally become a saint? And finally—Stephanie’s crime scene. Would her inevitable demise be ruled a tragic mystery? Or would investigators take one look at the abandoned planners, rice cake crumbs, and post-it note chaos and simply nod in understanding?Come for the true crime, stay for the existential dread.

Send us Fan MailWelcome back, degenerates and overthinkers! Season 2 of Zachsolved Mysteries is here, and we’re starting off strong with questionable nautical choices, a war-era slush fund with zero insight, and a love story that’s as bizarre as it is unexpectedly sweet.We’re investigating the disappearance of a journalism student who set sail on a boat that, much like its captain, was not what it seemed. Then, we examine the case of a young tennis pro who turned his back on a life of privilege, much to the horror of his pearl-clutching family, and found himself drawn to a mystic who actually seemed to be paying attention. Meanwhile, an Austrian lake is hiding a fortune in Nazi gold, but the only thing less competent than white supremacists is their ability to cash in on their stolen treasure. And finally, we recount the stunning beginning of a prison-break romance, because nothing says “till death do us part” like getting handcuffed to a bed – twice!Along the way, we break down the logistics of international waters-based murder, the unexpected dangers of mixing country club sports with unresolved trauma, and whether Robert Stack owns a cozy winter bungalow in Coral Gables. We also get real about mental health, existential spirals, and what happens when dreams are so visceral they follow you into your waking life.If you've ever considered fleeing the country with a guy who has long, flowing hair and an urgent but non-specific plan, at least listen to this episode first.

From the baffling evidence to the avalanche of theories, we’ll sleigh our way through the twists, turns, and missteps of the investigation. So grab your stocking, fill it with skepticism, and let’s crack this cold case—because nothing says “Merry Christmas” quite like a tragic mystery wrapped in scandal and sealed with duct tape. PSA: Don’t trust anyone who eats pineapple and milk with a spoon.Music and additional effects sourced from Fesliyan, Pixabay and Freesound (public domain/CC0). 💙 Mental Health Matters 💙It’s okay to not be okay.

Send us Fan Mail🎄This week on Zachsolved Mysteries, we’re serving up a holiday feast of chaos, conspiracies, and crime that’ll make you rethink the whole ‘peace on Earth’ thing.First up, a nurse disappears under suspicious circumstances, a pond goes from silent night to prime suspect faster than you can say “jingle all the way,” and Captain Gaslight botches the investigation so badly, it’s like he’s auditioning for The Grinch Who Stole Competence.Then, fugitive lovebirds take us on a reckless romp that feels less Bonnie and Clyde and more like a low-budget prison break sponsored by bad decisions. Meanwhile, an unmarked grave leads one woman on a search for her grandmother’s truth, uncovering more questions than answers.But the real test comes with a missing pilot case dripping in Cold War tension and redacted intrigue. Fresh off his official CIA intervention - complete with boundaries, breathing exercises, and his code-named sponsor on speed dial - Zach is doing his best to hold it together. And by ‘hold it together,’ we mean Stephanie has to remind him that spiraling into Frank Sturgis theories is not part of the recovery plan. Will he make it through the segment without choking on red string? Join us for an episode that’s festive in name only. Because nothing says “holiday cheer” like disappearing body barrels, missing pilots, and Captain Gaslight reminding us all that he’s truly the gift that keeps on gaslighting.To everyone out there—happy holidays! Or, if you’re not celebrating, we hope you’re finding some peace and quiet this time of year. We know the holidays can be tough for a lot of people, so if you’re feeling depressed or overwhelmed, please reach out. You can call the mental health hotline at 988, or you could even email us at [email protected].

Send us Fan MailThis week’s Zachsolved Mysteries isn’t your standard recap—not only is it a birthday gift to the man Zach himself, it’s an unsanctioned exploration into shadowy CIA antics, frosty sideshow oddities, and Cary Grant’s psychedelic “exercises” (let’s just say you may never look at North by Northwest the same way again).Was CIA scientist Frank Olson killed by the agency to cover up their covert LSD experiments? Did his mysterious death set the stage for decades of mind control programs unleashed upon the unsuspecting public? Zach takes us on an exhaustive journey into this case, complete with bios, side plots, and enough Cold War intrigue to make your head spin faster than you can say “MKUltra.” We’re also sifting through the frost-covered enigma that is the Minnesota Iceman, leased by a mysterious stranger who clearly never skips squat day, along with a lost loves that could melt even the most frozen of ape-man popsicles.This is an episode so wild it should require government clearance and a non-disclosure agreement, but don’t worry—we’d never redact the laughs. Tune in for mind control, bad accents, and a journey that’s part government exposé, part cryptozoological daydream. We promise this episode won’t turn you into a sleeper cell... unless 'banana pancake,' 'velveteen dishwater,' or 'disco turtleneck' suddenly start making you want to overthrow a tropical island’s sugar-based economy. Music and additional effects sourced from Fesliyan, Pixabay and Freesound (public domain/CC0). 💙 Mental Health Matters 💙It’s okay to not be okay.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Zachsolved Mysteries, we're plunging into mysteries so perplexing, not even Robert Stack's trench coat could absorb the flop sweat these mind-boggling cases cause. First stop: San Francisco, where a noodle baron checked out of life's menu more abruptly than a health inspector at a Chipotle during the E. coli outbreak. Next, we head over to Rhode Island where an accident victim is searching for two heroes who rescued her from a fiery wreck, then vanished faster than your dignity after an awkward, unsolicited smooch. Then we're hitting Atlantic City with a case so twisted it'll make your head spin faster than a roulette wheel. We've got a tragedy, a suspect young enough to still believe in the Tooth Fairy, and a justice system that seems to have misplaced its common sense. So grab your rookie detective badge and your cup-o-noodles, we're in for a wild ride through the land of the unsolved, where suspects are young enough to still have baby teeth and heroes vanish faster than a detective's pizzazz mid-wee. Who knows? You might just crack a case with us... or at least crack up trying! Music and additional effects sourced from Fesliyan, Pixabay and Freesound (public domain/CC0). 💙 Mental Health Matters 💙It’s okay to not be okay.
