Unsolved Mysteries: Friend of Stephan Ross (Season 2, Episode 10)

Update

Gwen Allanson, daughter of Lieutenant Steve Sattler, saw the re-airing of Stephan's story and was certain that her father was the soldier Stephan had been looking for. Sattler was part of the 191st Army Tang Battalion and had often spoken of of the day he'd helped a young boy in Dachau. At the time, however, she was unable to get in touch with Stephan.

Years later, Allanson told the story to her niece (also Sattler's granddaughter), Brenda Clark, who decided to search for Stephan. Finally, on August 26, 2012, Stephan received a phone call from Clark. Sadly, Stephan learned that Steve Sattler had passed away on December 7, 1986 (ironically Pearl Harbor Day). Although saddened by his hero's untimely passing, Stephan was excited at the prospect at finally finding word of the soldier after almost seven decades. On November of that year, Stephan was united with members of Sattler's family at a Veterans' Day Ceremony at the Massachusetts State House.

Also a fun fact: I had several of Keely Shaye Smith's "Update" segments memorized verbatim after only a few listens. My friends found this rather amusing and in high school, I was told by a teacher of mine that I had a very strong narration voice after a presentation of a story I'd written. The truth of the matter was, I was just imagining how Keely would have read it on Unsolved Mysteries (I was not even going to make a s

Unsolved Mysteries: The Dale (Season 1, Episode 20)

This segment was prefaced with the following: "In 1973, America was faced with an oil crisis that nearly crippled the country. It created a gas shortage and motorists had to wait hours to fill up their tanks. Consumers wanted a solution: cheaper gas or more economical cars." One such solution, The Dale, was a prototype vehicle designed in the early 1970's by engineer Dale Clifft, and marketed by Geraldine Elizabeth ("Liz") Carmichael, proprietor of the newly formed Twentieth Century Motor Company, headquartered in Encino, California. On May 29, 1975, however, Carmichael was indited by the Los Angeles County Grand Jury for grand theft and fraud, and was later found guilty on 34 counts. After all the buzz surrounding this "space age" automobile, it turned out to be a sham. This revolutionary car was touted as getting 70 miles to the gallon, weighing less than 1000 pounds, and costing less than $2000. More than $300 of the cars price, as well as 3
