Unsolved Mysteries season 4 episode guide: What is each case about?

Fans of true crime have long been waiting for the release of Unsolved Mysteries season 4. Personally, I have love-hate feelings towards this Netflix series. As much as I enjoy it, I do find myself getting frustrated knowing that justice has not been served. On the bright side, this is a huge motivator to watch as I know there have been cases solved by audiences. 

Something fans truly appreciate is that Netflix is able to present these cases to a large audience, resurfacing each mystery to give it another chance at being solved. Because one thing is for sure, no other streaming platform has a larger audience than Netflix!

Unsolved Mysteries Vol. 4 is set to feature five new episodes, and it’s a great mix of reports of missing individuals and supernatural occurrences. As always, each case is full of twists and turns, involving multiple suspects and theories – ready to put on your detective hat? Here’s what to expect from each new episode. Synopses provided by Netflix.
