There will be no host unfortunately.


Cases are:

Mystery on the Rooftop,” directed by Marcus A. Clarke:
The body of newlywed Rey Rivera was found in an abandoned conference room at Baltimore’s historic Belvedere Hotel in May 2006, eight days after he mysteriously disappeared. While the Baltimore Police maintained that the 32-year-old committed suicide by jumping from the hotel’s roof, the medical examiner declared Rey’s death “unexplained.” Many, including his devastated wife, Allison, suspect foul play.


“13 Minutes,” directed by Jimmy Goldblum:
Patrice Endres, 38, mysteriously vanished from her Cumming, Georgia, hair salon in broad daylight, during a 13-minute timeframe, leaving behind her teenage son, Pistol. Patrice’s disappearance intensified the existing tensions between Pistol and his stepfather as they dealt with the loss and searched for answers.


“House of Terror,” directed by Clay Jeter:
In April 2011, French police discovered the wife and four children of Count Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès buried under the back porch of their home in Nantes. Xavier, the family patriarch, was not among the dead and nowhere to be found. Investigators gradually pieced together clues and a timeline that pointed to Xavier as a devious, pre-meditate killer. For instance, they now know that shortly before the crimes occurred, Xavier inherited a gun that was the same model as the murder weapon.


“No Ride Home,” directed by Marcus A. Clarke:
Alonzo Brooks, 23, never returned home from a party he attended with friends in the predominantly white town of La Cygne, Kansas. A month later, a search party led by his family locates Alonzo’s body — in an area that law enforcement had already canvassed multiple times.


“Berkshire’s UFO,” directed by Marcus A. Clarke:
On September 1, 1969, many residents in Berkshire County, Massachusetts were traumatized by a sighting of a UFO. Eyewitnesses — many just children at the time — have spent their lives trying to convince the world that what they saw was real.


“Missing Witness,” directed by Clay Jeter:
At age 17, a guilt-ridden Lena Chapin confessed to helping her mother dispose of her murdered stepfather’s body four years prior. In 2012, Lena was issued a subpoena to testify against her mother in court, but the authorities were never able to deliver the summons — because Lena had disappeared, leaving behind a young son.

I was psyched about this until the no host reveal. While I'm holding out hope it's good I'm curious as to what's supposed to seperate it from the three dozen Investigation Discovery shows on now with the same "documentary style" format. Robert Stack's intros and narration was a lot of what carried that show and if you're rebooting UM you're clearly wanting to play a lot into muh nostalgia, even if you try and do your own version of it axing a huge part of the appeal of the original seems like a retarded decision.

Shit attacking from the other side YUCK!

Man, when they aired that episode about the dudes that get abducted by the ufo when I was a kid I about had a heart attack when they revealed the grey alien design. First time I had ever seen it or heard of the idea that aliens were possibly real.

I found it again on Amazon prime and LOL at it now a days. Good times though, looking back.

If this new version were to have a host, who do you think could pull it off? As much as I think going host-less makes it indistinguishable from all the other investigative shows that clog up the airwaves, I also can’t separate that show from Robert Stack, and I think the producers know that, too. They’re probably just keeping their fingers crossed that the name (and hopefully the theme music) will be enough to attract people.

I might give it a chance. I used to watch the old Robert Stack episodes all the time as a kid. Show creeped me out more than anything else on TV. I still recall the Resurrection Mary ghost episode especially creeping me out when they showed her with nothing but a black void for a face. I'm hoping the new reboot will stay to the spirit (heh) of the original.

Some of those dramatizations were effective, while others (Loch Ness Monster) have not aged well. Though, Robert Stack's narration sells anything being eerie.

Did anyone else find his filming locations creepy, as a kid? Stack would emerge from a foggy graveyard at night, saying something like, "Murder!", or slowly walking down an abandoned castle's corridor to say, "A man mysteriously vanishes, and the only clue is a severed limb.". Nowadays, it's part of the charm.
