This episode of Zachsolved Mysteries cuts deeper than a discount surgeon at a back-alley clinic! Join us as we dust off the cobwebbed files that history tried to dump in a field. We're slicing through the mystery meat of the past, serving up a smorgasbord of secrets, and rummaging through every nook and cranny of these cold cases like a detective searching for the missing blood mop.
Come with us to tiny Lyons, Nebraska, where love triangles aren't just a geometry problem—at times, they're downright deadly. We’re also tackling the bittersweet tale of six Oklahoma siblings separated by the great baby swap program of the early 20th century. It's a sibling separation saga that'll leave you wondering if sometimes, just sometimes, it might be for the best. Then, from a cozy night of watching the Oscars to a kitchen phone call that ended with a bang, we dive into the perplexing murder of a Chicago officer whose killer is still out there, probably polishing their golden statuette for “Best Mob Hit”.
We've got a masterclass ready on how to get away with murder: planning is crucial, spontaneity is for amateurs, and always clean up that pesky blood trail. And for a touch of dark academia, our very own "Chicago PD Detective Frank Rutager" (or Rebenhour, depending on his mood), will school us in the art of mob management and the perils of impersonation, draped in a trench coat of mystery.
The cases may be cold, but we’re red-hot on the trail that leads to answers! Won’t you join us? You may hold the key to help solve these mysteries.
