The Legend of La Llorona

The legend of La Llorona varies from country to county, region to region and even from family to family. All claim that their version is the true version. Today we will talk about the conception of the legend, its various renditions and adaptations. You'll also get to hear a little bit about my own experience with La Llorona as my own (Puerto Rican) mother used to torture me with this very tale when I was an innocent child.

ALSO! Don't forget about THE LIVE WATCH PARTY tomorrow night (5/5/21) at 9PM MST. We will be watching THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA LIVE on instagram @MYSTERYSTILLUNSOLVED. COME AND WATCH ME FREAK OUT IN REAL TIME, LOL!

Where is Sharon Kinne?

Sharon was 16 when she met James Kinne at an LDS church function. The two began a steamy relationship, which ended in August when James went back to BYU for school. But then, Sharon found out she was pregnant, so the two married. Except Sharon was never pregnant. A few years later, Sharon realized the "vanilla life" James had to offer wasn't for her. She wanted a divorce, but James wouldn't give her one. Shortly after that, James died a horrendous accidental death at the hands of their 2.5 year old daughter. Right? Wrong! Thus began Sharon's killing spree whenever she didn't get her way. At the surface, this case seems pretty open & shut right? But I promise you this case is unsolved! It might not seem like it, but hang in there... you are in for a bumpy ride my friend.

The Inexplicable Death of Garrett Phillips

On a cold and dreary October Day in Potsdam, NY ( a teeny town near the border of Canada) Marissa Vogel and her boyfriend had just settled down to eat dinner and watch their favorite show: Dexter. After about 20 minutes, they heard running in the apartment next door followed by a crash and a loud thud. Then they heard someone say "Ow" or maybe it was "No." But then they distinctly heard a child's voice call for help. Marissa knew children lived next door so she went to investigate. She knocked on the door. Nothing. She knocked again. Nothing. Then as she turned to walk away, she heard the lock on the door "click"... Chills ran down her spine. Someone was inside that apartment, someone just on the other side of that door... and that someone wanted Marissa to STAY OUT.

Learn all about who might've done it in today's episode.

Circleville Letters

What may have started out as a harmless prank, quickly spiraled out of control. Mary and her husband, Ron, began receiving threatening letters accusing Mary of a salacious affair she swore she knew nothing about. After weeks of harassment, a phone call was placed to Ron from the writer... and Ron recognized the voice. Minutes later, Ron was dead.

The Real Men in Black

Okay everyone... my mind is LITERALLY EXPLODING! Did you know that the Men in Black movie franchise was loosely inspired by a comic book?!? And that that comic book documented REAL LIFE EVENTS about people who had experiences with "men in black" who claimed to be part of a secret organization dedicated to silencing those who researched UFO and alien activity or those who may have witnessed something extraterrestrial?! Well, it's true and the encounters with these mysterious men in black date back almost a hundred years!!! I didn't know anything about this until I received a message from a listener suggesting I give this case a good look. Buckle up, the crazy train is about to leave the station.

”No Style, No Class” & Other Digs

Robert Stack told me I could refer to him as "Robbie" from now on as we are in a long term relationship. Today we will discuss UM S1E3 which means FOUR unique cases. There will be accents, amnesia, cops who find basic concepts revolutionary, a conman who steals hearts and money, a desperate housewife, a prison break and let's not forget about Wilbur and Earl Boggs attempts at finding real-life buried treasure. 

Listen for a twisted Unsolved Mysteries Mother Goose Rhyme. Will you catch it?!

Mary Reeser and the... House Fire?

The only quote we have from the lead investigator of this case is that it was "perplexing." Yup, that's it. A single word. Thanks for your help Detective Burgess.. NOT! This case has so many twists and turns and all the evidence seems to point to one very peculiar cause. I won't give it away because it's something we've NEVER covered on the podcast so far! There's gonna be talk of toots, some lady who surely won't be winning a "Landlady of the Year" award ANYTIME SOON that's for sure &&& a fun story about my little brother and my 3rd grade female anatomy teacher. ;)
