00:00I'm sorry, I came as soon as I got here.
00:02You got in this morning.
00:03Welcome to Miss Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks
00:07for films inspired by unsolved historical mysteries.
00:11Poor Betty.
00:13The problem wasn't too many enemies, it was too many friends.
00:17Number 20. Escape from Alcatraz.
00:20In 1962, three inmates pulled off one of the most infamous prison breaks in history
00:24by escaping from the heavily fortified Alcatraz.
00:27Is it true no one's ever bust out of here?
00:30That's all they tell me.
00:33Jesus.
00:34Their daring attempt became the focus of this 1979 movie,
00:38starring Clint Eastwood as the mastermind of Frank Morris.
00:41You still reading that Bible?
00:44Oh yeah, it's opening up all kinds of new doors.
00:47As depicted in the film, Morris and his accomplices chiseled through cell vents,
00:52crawled through a utility corridor, and set off on an improvised raft,
00:57all without being caught.
00:58Their absence wasn't noticed until the next morning,
01:01by which time, they were long gone.
01:03Morning, Sergeant.
01:05What have you got?
01:06Photos and a notebook of Clarence Anglin.
01:09Funny-looking bag.
01:11Must have been made from a raincoat.
01:12Even with an extensive search,
01:14no bodies were found.
01:16The FBI eventually concluded they likely drowned.
01:19But some folks believed otherwise.
01:22While the film's ending hints at a successful escape,
01:24there's no proof the men survived.
01:26Number 19, The Bank Job.
01:38Some aspects of this Jason Statham-led heist movie may be dramatized,
01:42but the real 1971 robbery was just as wild.
01:46Inspired by a Sherlock Holmes story,
01:58a gang of thieves tunneled their way into a Lloyd's bank from a shop two doors away.
02:03While the robbery was still in progress,
02:05a radio buff overheard their walkie-talkie chat and alert the police.
02:09Police here. Can I help you?
02:11Yes. I'm a ham radio operator,
02:13and I think I may be overhearing a robbery in progress.
02:15His first warning was dismissed,
02:17but after recording the gang's conversations,
02:20authorities launched a frantic search.
02:22A month after the heist,
02:24some members of the crew were caught, but not all.
02:26The film unravels the mystery of whether the stolen content
02:30included compromising photos of Princess Margaret.
02:34But to this day, nothing has been confirmed.
02:36I think what these robbers were really after were photographs.
02:40Photographs of a certain royal princess.
02:42How do you know that?
02:43Well, because on this point, I believe my captive.
02:46No man could withstand the pain we inflicted on him.
02:49Number 18. Changeling.
02:51This tale unfolds a parent's worst nightmare.
02:55Angelina Jolie stars as Christine Collins,
02:58a mother whose child goes missing,
03:00only for the police to return the wrong kid six months later.
03:04Boy, the siege, it changes so fast.
03:07We've compensated for that in our investigation.
03:10And there's no question that this is your son.
03:13That is not mother.
03:14When she refuses to accept this imposter,
03:17she's branded an unfit mother and sent to an asylum.
03:21As bizarre as it sounds,
03:22this happened to the real Christine in the late 1920s.
03:26Has this been going on for a long time?
03:27People changing, becoming something other than what they are?
03:31People don't change.
03:33You don't think people change?
03:35No, that's not what it is.
03:36Her fight against the police exposed deep corruption.
03:43But the real tragedy was her son's fate.
03:45It was later discovered that Christine's nine-year-old, Walter,
03:49was among the victims of the Wineville Chicken Murders.
03:51Though the killer's mother confessed to the crime,
03:54Christine never gave up hope and continued searching for her son.
03:57Maybe Walter's out there having the same fears that he did.
04:01Afraid to come home and identify himself,
04:04or afraid he'll get into trouble.
04:07But either way,
04:09it gives me something I didn't have before tonight.
04:13What's that?
04:15Hope.
04:16Number 17.
04:18Eureka.
04:19Starring Gene Hackman as a gold prospector,
04:22Eureka follows a man who strikes it rich
04:24during the final days of the gold rush.
04:27Hey!
04:28Freda!
04:30Freda!
04:31Years later,
04:32he's a restless tycoon
04:34who has a strong dislike for his daughter's husband.
04:37Get out of my house!
04:39It's only gold, Jack.
04:41Like all things, it'll pass.
04:42And when he does, I'll send him back to you.
04:44The film's tension increases
04:46as he clashes with his unscrupulous business partners,
04:49only to meet a violent end at the hands of a ruthless gang.
04:53Though the film has several shortcomings,
04:56here's the kicker.
04:57It's actually loosely based on the grisly murder of Harry Oakes,
05:01a wealthy gold miner in the 1930s.
05:09He was killed under mysterious circumstances,
05:12and the prime suspect, his son-in-law,
05:14was later acquitted.
05:15Decades later, the case remains an unsettling enigma,
05:19with no resolution and no justice.
05:21Once upon a time, I was Jack McCann, I had a name.
05:31I don't know how much longer I can hold on that one.
05:34Number 16.
05:36The Pursuit of D.B. Cooper
05:37In 1971,
05:39the infamous D.B. Cooper hijacked an aircraft
05:42headed to Washington using a fake bomb threat.
05:44There'll be just a few seconds,
05:45because things are a little bit tense out here.
05:47His ruse was successful,
05:49and he secured $200,000 in ransom,
05:51before parachuting into oblivion.
05:54Despite one of the biggest FBI manhunts,
05:57no one knows if he survived,
05:58or where some of the money went.
06:00Would you open up this floor plate, please?
06:04What's going on?
06:06Would you open up that floor plate, please, Mr. Johnson?
06:08This 1981 film takes that mystery and runs with it.
06:12But anyone expecting a deep insight into the real heist
06:15may be disappointed,
06:17because the film draws from J.D. Reed's 1980 novel,
06:20Freefall, adding its own twists.
06:23Cooper becomes Jim,
06:24a clever ex-military man,
06:26dodging an agent,
06:28while his estranged wife gets dragged into the mess.
06:30All right, so you expect me to just drop everything
06:33and go off with you
06:36and forget about all that stuff that's ever happened?
06:40Absolutely.
06:41It's far from fact,
06:42but still an entertaining ride.
06:44So what are you going to do with it?
06:46With what?
06:48The money.
06:51Oh, yeah.
06:53Number 15, Fire in the Sky.
06:56In 1975, a group of loggers were driving down a forest road,
06:59when they noticed a strange light.
07:02What's up?
07:03What's up, man?
07:05My God.
07:07According to his crew's account,
07:09Travis Walton got out of the truck
07:10and was struck by a beam of light.
07:13Terrified, his peers fled.
07:15And when they returned minutes later,
07:18Walton was gone.
07:19I, uh,
07:20I searched the woods,
07:23and,
07:23but he wasn't,
07:26there was nothing.
07:28They reported the incident to the police,
07:31who, with no trace of Walton,
07:33suspected foul play.
07:35Five days later,
07:36Walton returned,
07:37claiming he'd been taken aboard an alien spacecraft.
07:41Mr. Walton,
07:42can you tell me what they look like?
07:45Can you tell me how many of them there were?
07:48Some believe his outlandish account
07:50was influenced by a made-for-TV movie,
07:52and over time,
07:54clues hinted at a possible hoax.
07:56Still,
07:57no one's cracked the case completely.
07:59The film Fire in the Sky retells Walton's wild story,
08:03amping up the horror for thrills.
08:04No. 14.
08:20Memories of Murder
08:21Between 1986 and 1994,
08:24an elusive serial killer terrorized South Korea,
08:27brutally murdering 15 women and girls in rural areas.
08:31Despite efforts to stop him,
08:33he evaded capture for 30 years.
08:36Mr. Young-san.
08:37Yeah.
08:39Is there anything that's coming from here?
08:43I don't know.
08:44As you saw,
08:45the crime is not a lot of fear.
08:47But in 2019,
08:50his luck ran out,
08:51as Lee Chun-jae was finally unmasked.
08:54Already in prison for killing his sister-in-law,
08:57he also confessed to the Hoseong murders,
09:00though he was never prosecuted for them.
09:02Back in 2003,
09:15when Memories of Murder hit the screens,
09:17this killer's identity was still unsolved.
09:20Director Bong Joon-ho
09:22expertly captures that dark time
09:24through the perspectives of two detectives
09:27trapped in an endless chase
09:28for South Korea's first confirmed serial killer.
09:41Number 13.
09:42The Vanishing.
09:44How far would you go for the truth?
09:46Rex and Saskia are a young couple on vacation.
09:50They stop at a gas station,
09:51and Saskia goes in to get some beverages
09:53and never returns.
10:01Obsessed with finding her,
10:02Rex's persistence leads him
10:04to the man who abducted her,
10:05who offers him a chilling proposition.
10:07As nightmarish as it seems,
10:19this tale draws partially from true events.
10:22Tim Crabbe,
10:23author of the novella Behind the Vanishing,
10:25was struck by a newspaper article
10:27about a female tourist
10:28who went missing during a bus trip.
10:30While many details were fabricated for fiction,
10:33that real-life case
10:34planted the seed for this thriller.
10:37But unlike the real woman,
10:39Saskia doesn't get a happy ending.
10:56Number 12.
10:57Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
11:00In Martin McDonough's gripping crime drama,
11:03Frances McDormand plays a grieving mother
11:05outraged by the police's failure
11:07to apprehend her daughter's killer.
11:09So, she rents billboards
11:10at strategic locations
11:11calling out the chief of police
11:13for his inactions.
11:14Right now,
11:15there ain't too much more we can do.
11:17Could pull blood
11:18from every man and boy in this town
11:20over the age of eight.
11:23There's several rights laws
11:24prevents that, Mrs. Hayes.
11:26The idea struck McDonough
11:28during a trip
11:29when he spotted a couple of billboards
11:31accusing a man of killing his wife,
11:34Kathy Page,
11:35and slamming the police
11:36for their incompetence.
11:38What's with a new attitude, Dixon?
11:40Your mama been coaching you?
11:44No.
11:45My mama
11:46doesn't do that.
11:49This haunting imagery
11:50sparked his 2017 film,
11:52and McDormand's fierce character
11:54was born from the director's vision
11:55that only a fierce mother
11:57could have placed those billboards.
11:59Not much is known about the real case,
12:02but this movie sure proves
12:03that inspiration can spark
12:04from raw, real pain
12:06in the unlikeliest corners.
12:08Yeah.
12:10Still no rest.
12:14How come I wonder?
12:17Because there ain't no God
12:18and the whole world's empty
12:19and it doesn't matter
12:19what we do to each other?
12:23I hope not.
12:25Number 11.
12:26Rear Window
12:27In Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller,
12:30James Stewart plays
12:31an adventurous photographer
12:32stuck at home
12:33with a broken leg.
12:34Bored to death,
12:35he begins spying
12:36on his neighbors.
12:38A New York State sentence
12:40for a peeping Tom
12:41is six months in the workhouse.
12:42Oh, hello, Stella.
12:44They got no windows
12:45in the workhouse.
12:46When a man's wife
12:47suddenly vanishes
12:48and he begins acting suspiciously,
12:51Jeff becomes convinced
12:52he murdered her.
12:53Why, why would a man
12:56leave his apartment
12:57three times
12:59on a rainy night
13:00with a suitcase
13:00and come back three times?
13:03For Mrs. Thorwald's
13:04mysterious fate,
13:06Hitchcock drew
13:06from two real cases,
13:08the 1910 murder
13:10of Corrine Henrietta Turner
13:11and the 1924 killing
13:13of Emily Kay,
13:15both at the hands
13:16of their partners.
13:17Mrs. Thorwald's ring
13:18being a pivotal clue
13:19in discovering the truth
13:21mirrors Harvey Crippen's
13:22slip-up in Turner's murder,
13:24while the search
13:25for the victim's head
13:26echoes grim details
13:28of Kay's case.
13:29Though both murderers
13:31met the gallows,
13:32some details of their crimes
13:33remain shrouded in mystery.
13:36Say something.
13:39Say something.
13:40Tell me what you want.
13:41Number 10.
13:42The Strangers.
13:43Strangers writer-director
13:45Brian Bertino
13:46was directly influenced
13:46by the Manson killings
13:48and the accompanying
13:48true crime book
13:49Helter Skelter.
13:51However,
13:51many critics and academics
13:52also note strong similarities
13:54with the quadruple homicide
13:55that occurred in 1981.
13:56Can I have one?
14:00Are you a sinner?
14:01In April of that year,
14:02Glenna Sharp,
14:03two of her children
14:04and a family friend
14:05were killed
14:05in Keddie, California.
14:06It happened 40 years ago
14:08this month.
14:09I sat down
14:09with the two main detectives
14:10on this case
14:11who say they are close
14:12to solving this
14:13once and for all.
14:15The historic event
14:15bears many similarities
14:17with the strangers,
14:18including the isolated setting,
14:20the breaking in due
14:20of a private residence,
14:21and the vicious nature
14:22of the killings.
14:23You don't have to do this.
14:26You can stop now.
14:29Please!
14:29The main suspects
14:30in the case
14:31are Martin Smart
14:32and his friend
14:33John Bobaday,
14:34but they both died
14:35without being charged
14:36thanks to a tragically
14:37bungled investigation.
14:39Number 9.
14:40The Mothman Prophecies.
14:42The Mothman
14:42is one of the most
14:43enduring legends
14:44in modern American folklore.
14:46Between November 1966
14:47and December 1967,
14:49the West Virginian city
14:50of Point Pleasant
14:51was inundated
14:52with sightings
14:52of the Mothman.
14:54Famously described
14:55as a large
14:55man-bird hybrid,
14:57the Mothman
14:57became a national sensation
14:59when ufologist
15:00John Keel
15:01published his investigative book
15:02The Mothman Prophecies.
15:04Before Mothman
15:05things took off
15:06around here,
15:06it was pretty much dead.
15:08Like, even when I was
15:09growing up,
15:09Main Street was empty.
15:11He argued that the Mothman
15:12was a supernatural creature
15:13with connections
15:14to the Silver Bridge.
15:15which collapsed
15:16in December of 1967,
15:18killing 46 people.
15:27Keel's famous book
15:28was turned into a movie
15:29in 2002,
15:30starring Richard Gere
15:31as a journalist
15:32who becomes entangled
15:33in the mystery.
15:34The enjoyment of this one
15:35hinges entirely
15:36on how much stock
15:37you put into
15:37the Mothman legend.
15:38And what if nothing happens?
15:41What if there's
15:42no great tragedy, John?
15:44What'll you do then?
15:45Number 8.
15:46Mesmerized
15:47And what they have to say
15:48is the following.
15:50We do not know
15:52how Oliver Thompson died.
15:55Starring Jodie Foster
15:56and John Lithgow,
15:57Mesmerized is loosely based
15:59on the mystery
15:59of the Pimlico Poisoning.
16:01Named after the London district
16:02in which it occurred,
16:04this event concerns
16:04the bizarre death
16:05of Edwin Bartlett.
16:07Bartlett had been found dead
16:08with chloroform
16:09in his stomach.
16:10However,
16:10no one could figure out
16:11how it got there,
16:12as his throat and larynx
16:13were free of burns.
16:15Experienced physicians
16:16have informed us
16:17that medicine cannot explain
16:19how a poisonous substance
16:21could have found itself
16:23in the stomach
16:26of Mr. Oliver Thompson.
16:27Bartlett's wife Adelaide
16:28was arrested
16:29and charged with the death.
16:31However,
16:31a significant lack of evidence
16:33resulted in her acquittal.
16:34No one knew
16:35how the chloroform
16:36got into Edwin's stomach,
16:37with some arguing
16:38that Edwin gulped it down
16:39quickly to end his own life.
16:41We do not know
16:42how Oliver Thompson died.
16:45And if, gentlemen,
16:48we do not know this,
16:50how can we possibly
16:51give the blame
16:52for his death
16:53to a frail woman?
16:55Adelaide Bartlett
16:55later disappeared
16:56from public record,
16:58taking any potential
16:58answers with her.
17:00Number 7.
17:01The Town That Dreaded Sundown
17:03The people of Texarkana
17:04were not enjoying
17:05ice cream and sunsets
17:07during the summer of 1946.
17:09Instead,
17:09they were locking themselves
17:10inside their homes
17:11and watching the police
17:12patrol their neighborhoods.
17:14It was the town
17:15that dreaded sundown,
17:16and that's because
17:17the phantom killer
17:18was on the loose.
17:19The past two weeks
17:19this place has been a madhouse.
17:23You don't suppose
17:24you could get some of your units
17:26to check some of those
17:27lovers' park and hangouts, do you?
17:29The evasive culprit
17:30had killed five
17:31and attacked eight
17:32throughout the preceding spring,
17:33with all of the crimes
17:34occurring on weekend nights.
17:36The killer was never caught
17:37or identified,
17:39although many experts
17:39believe it was
17:40career criminal Yul Sweeney.
17:42Yul Sweeney,
17:43car thief,
17:44habitual criminal,
17:45long-time con.
17:46In the end,
17:47a lot of the evidence
17:48does seem to point to him,
17:49and thus,
17:50mystery solved.
17:52Well,
17:53maybe not.
17:54The story greatly inspired
17:55the cult slasher,
17:57which was filmed
17:57in the real area
17:58and employed the locals
17:59as extras.
18:00To mirror reality,
18:01the killer's face
18:02is never seen.
18:03And if you should ask
18:04people here on the streets
18:05what they believe
18:06happened to the phantom killer,
18:09most would say
18:10that he is still living here
18:11and is walking free.
18:15Number 6.
18:16Willow Creek.
18:17Like the Mothman prophecies,
18:19Willow Creek wants you
18:20to believe in a mythological creature.
18:22I'm Jim Kessel.
18:23I'm here at the Trinity National Forest
18:25along Route 96,
18:27also known as
18:28the Bigfoot Byway.
18:30Perhaps the most legendary object
18:31of modern American folklore,
18:33Bigfoot has generated
18:34endless discussion
18:35throughout the years.
18:36How far away was she
18:37when you first saw her?
18:38Just across the creek.
18:40About like from here
18:41across the creek.
18:42The cryptid's popularity
18:43skyrocketed in the late 60s
18:45with the Patterson-Gimlin film,
18:47which purports to show Bigfoot
18:48sauntering around
18:49the woods of Northern California.
18:51The short film serves
18:52as a microcosm
18:53of the Bigfoot debate,
18:54with some screaming hoax
18:56while others insist
18:57on its authenticity.
18:58The Patterson-Gimlin film
18:59is directly referenced
19:00in the found footage film
19:02Willow Creek,
19:02which sees a couple
19:03traveling into the forest
19:04to film their own Bigfoot video.
19:06I'm here with my girlfriend,
19:07Kelly Monteleone,
19:08where we plan on retracing
19:10the famed 1967
19:12Patterson-Gimlin footage
19:13and our search for Bigfoot.
19:16It's an undertaking
19:16that many have done,
19:17hoping to catch a glimpse
19:18of America's greatest legend.
19:21Number five,
19:22The Entity.
19:23A cult favorite,
19:24The Entity is about
19:25a single mother
19:25named Carla Moran
19:27who is sexually assaulted
19:28and terrorized
19:29by a poltergeist.
19:30Mom, mom,
19:31there's nobody here.
19:32Call the police.
19:33Call the police.
19:34Mom, there's no one
19:35in the house.
19:36The front door's locked.
19:37Moran is directly based
19:38on Doris Byther,
19:40a woman who reportedly
19:41experienced paranormal events
19:42in the mid-70s.
19:44Byther contacted
19:45parapsychologist Barry Taff
19:46and relayed that she had been
19:47assaulted and stalked
19:49by a malicious entity.
19:50But when my son came in,
19:51there was nobody there.
19:53Right.
19:54And what did he think?
19:56Your son?
19:58He thought I was dreaming.
20:00Mm-hmm.
20:02And what do you think happened?
20:03Taff didn't believe
20:05the assault claims,
20:06but nevertheless agreed
20:07to investigate Byther's house.
20:09He and assistant
20:10Kerry Gaynor reportedly
20:11experienced significant
20:12poltergeist activity,
20:14and Taff labeled it
20:15an official haunting.
20:16I mean,
20:16I'd rather be dead
20:17than living the way
20:18I've been living.
20:20Do you understand that?
20:22Yes, I can understand that.
20:24Yes.
20:25Others are more skeptical,
20:27arguing that Taff
20:28was a poor investigator
20:29who misinterpreted
20:30harmless events
20:31as paranormal evidence.
20:33Number 4.
20:34The Black Dahlia
20:35Directed by Brian De Palma
20:37and starring an A-list cast,
20:39The Black Dahlia
20:39is based on James Elroy's
20:41semi-fictional novel
20:42of the same name.
20:44The story is based
20:45based on the famous case
20:46of The Black Dahlia.
20:47An investigation
20:48of Puppahev's abdominal cavity
20:50reveals no free-flowing blood,
20:53intestines,
20:54stomach,
20:55spleen,
20:55liver,
20:56all removed.
20:57Real name Elizabeth Short,
20:59the Dahlia was infamously killed
21:00in 1947,
21:02and her death remains
21:03one of the most tantalizing
21:04unsolved mysteries
21:05in modern history.
21:07Elroy's novel blends fiction
21:08with fact,
21:09basing much of the story
21:11in reality
21:11while making up
21:12various fictitious elements.
21:13One of Elroy's inventions
21:15is a character named Ramona
21:17who was eventually revealed
21:18to be the killer.
21:19She looks
21:19so like my manny.
21:23It was
21:24the coolest joke.
21:28De Palma carried this
21:29over into his film
21:30with Fiona Shaw
21:31playing the murderer.
21:32In real life,
21:33no one has the faintest idea
21:35as to who killed
21:36Elizabeth Short.
21:37The basic rule
21:38of homicide apply.
21:40Nothing stays buried forever.
21:42Corpses,
21:45ghosts,
21:46nothing stays buried forever.
21:49Number 3.
21:50From Hell.
21:51The very name of Jack the Ripper
21:52is synonymous
21:53with unsolved crimes.
21:55Back in 1888,
21:56an unknown person
21:57terrorized the seedy
21:58London district
21:59of Whitechapel,
22:00killing at least
22:00five sex workers.
22:02With all due respect,
22:03sir,
22:05I believe this was done
22:06by someone
22:06with at least
22:06a working knowledge
22:07of dissection.
22:09Either an educated man
22:10such as a doctor or...
22:10An educated man?
22:11That's preposterous.
22:13No well-bred man
22:14would do this.
22:15This instantly became
22:16the biggest true crime story
22:17of its age,
22:18thanks to the ferocious
22:19nature of the killings
22:20and the media sensation
22:21that it inspired.
22:22We are in the most extreme
22:25and utter region
22:26of the human mind.
22:30A radiant abyss
22:32where men meet themselves.
22:35It has become legend
22:36by remaining unsolved.
22:38The movie takes its name
22:39from the famous
22:40From Hell letter,
22:41which was a piece
22:42of correspondence
22:42allegedly written
22:43by the killer.
22:45Included with the letter
22:46was half a human kidney.
22:47From Hell.
22:50Well, at least
22:51they got the address right.
22:52The case has inspired
22:53numerous films,
22:54including this horror thriller
22:55starring Johnny Depp
22:56as detective
22:57Frederick Aberlein.
22:59Number two.
23:00The Irishman.
23:01One of the biggest questions
23:02that has plagued America
23:03since the mid-70s
23:04is what the heck
23:05happened to Jimmy Hoffa?
23:07Every decade,
23:08new reports surface
23:09and new searches
23:10are conducted.
23:11All dead ends.
23:12Hoffa was a prominent
23:13labor union leader
23:14who got involved
23:14with organized crime
23:15and disappeared
23:16in the summer of 1975.
23:18His body
23:19has never been found.
23:21In 2004,
23:21an investigator
23:22named Charles Brandt
23:24published the non-fiction book
23:25I Heard You Paint Houses,
23:27which is about
23:27labor union official
23:28Frank Sheeran.
23:29Do you have a show up late?
23:30No.
23:31Do you have any
23:31moving violations?
23:32No.
23:33Do you drink on the job?
23:34No.
23:35Do you ever hit anybody?
23:36On a job?
23:37Yeah.
23:38No.
23:38Sheeran claims
23:39to have killed Hoffa
23:40on orders
23:41of the Bufalino crime family,
23:42and this event
23:43is played as gospel
23:44in Martin Scorsese's
23:45film adaptation.
23:46It's important to note
23:47that nothing
23:48has been confirmed,
23:48and many people
23:49doubt the authenticity
23:50of Sheeran's claim.
23:52Let's get out of here.
23:53Come on.
23:54To this day,
23:55Hoffa's disappearance
23:55remains a mystery.

24:11This is a different
24:15kind of true crime film.
24:17Rather than focusing
24:18on the killings,
24:19the movie devotes
24:20two and a half hours
24:21to the investigative process.
24:22He stops,
24:23puts it in park,
24:24boom.
24:25I shoot him
24:25on the right side,
24:26he slumps right.
24:28Maybe you've got
24:28your hand on his collar
24:29when you shoot.
24:30This makes it
24:31all the more frustrating,
24:32because as we know,
24:33the Zodiac killer
24:34was never caught.
24:35One of America's
24:36most notorious serial killers,
24:38the Zodiac took at least
24:39five lives in California
24:40and taunted both police
24:41and media
24:42with boastful letters.
24:44We've got some good things
24:46working for us,
24:47but it takes time,
24:48and to be able to reach out
24:50and pluck this guy
24:51out of the air
24:51isn't done.
24:52They suddenly ceased
24:53communication with the media
24:54in 1974,
24:55following one last letter,
24:57and the trail
24:57went freezing cold.
24:59A team calling themselves
25:00the Case Breakers
25:01claimed to have solved
25:02the case in October of 2021,
25:04but experts quickly
25:05cast doubt on their claim.
25:07The case was not,
25:08in fact, broken
25:09and officially remains
25:10open.
25:18Which of these
25:18unsolved mysteries
25:19scared you the most?
