Get ready for an episode that jumps from haunted hilarity to heartbreaking mysteries faster than you can say “tweed jacket.” This week, we confront a killer who might’ve gone from the woods to the stage, investigate a family tragedy with more questions than answers, and share a reunion story that brings tears (and maybe a pistol or two). Plus, there’s a predator on the loose in Buffalo whose methods make your skin crawl—and yes, he’s the reason your cereal tastes funny. We also sneak in a brand-new ZSM Theatre segment, where things get even weirder.

Join us - because when the lights go out, even the ghosts can't resist a good punchline.

We can already feel the summer heat rolling in like a freight train, so we thought it was the perfect time to crack open this frosty treat from our archives - a little holiday AC for your brain, if you will.

Originally released in December of 2023, this episode is one of our funniest - filled with chaos, religious relics, Bill O'Reilly’s falafel fiasco, and more. It's an early Christmas gift to you, minus the wrapping paper.

Summer may be coming in hot, but a little holiday chaos is the perfect way to cool things down and keep your spirits high. We’ll be back next week with a new episode – in the meantime, stay frosty, stay mysterious, and stay tuned!

This week on Zachsolved Mysteries, incompetence isn’t just a theme – it’s a through line. From real-life walk-ins to spiritual walk-outs, from third-person murder denials to to Zach somehow outsourcing his responsibilities mid-sentence, we’ve got the full spectrum.

Join us as we spiral through a suspiciously well-staged death scene in Texas (starring an aggressively incompetent man who only slips into first person when accidentally confessing to a murder), a metaphysical phenomenon that raises more questions than souls, and an anonymous trucker with divine timing and zero forwarding address.

Plus: ZSM Theatre returns with ghostly accountability hearings, post-resurrection regret, and possibly the worst police force in the multiverse. Also: Zach weaponizes his incompetence so many times we had to check if he was the walk-in.

Remember: justice may be elusive, but delusion? Limitless.

This week, the mystery machine short-circuits in the best possible way. We chase memory gaps, muddled aliases, and missing mid-century mustaches in an episode that asks: what happens when even the backstories get confused?

Unsolved Mysteries gives us amnesia, aliases, a small-town murder, and a woman who disappears more often than she shows up—but ZSM Theatre takes it from there, plunging us deep into the metaphorical swamp (and, let’s be honest, a literal one too).

There are timelines. There are truths only your upper lips remembers. There are cold cases and even colder coleslaw.

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Hi, I’m… uh…,” this one’s for you.

In this episode, we ask the age-old question: is it unresolved trauma or just soul Pilates? Either way, we’re punching our way through some heavy stories—with trench coats, wild metaphors, and a few truly unhinged side quests to help us make it to the bell.

First, Zach investigates the mysterious death of a heavyweight boxing icon whose fear of needles might be the most overlooked clue of all. Was it an overdose… or something more sinister?

Then, ZSM Theater returns in all its chaotic glory. This time we’re reenacting a real Unsolved Mysteries reunion segment with a genre-defying fever dream of scenes—including a heartfelt bathroom monologue, an emotionally charged gas station meet-cute, and yes, a full-blown musical number. If you’ve ever wanted to watch bureaucracy tap dance while rapping, this one’s for you.

As always, content warnings apply (check our show notes). But if you stick around, you’ll get laughs, catharsis, weird history, a haunted belt, and maybe even a reminder that choosing yourself is strength with a side of righteous flair.

ZSM Theater: Not on Broadway, but give us time.

Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for an exclusive journey back to the 1970s with our February 2024 Patreon-only bonus episode—now available for everyone! We’re diving wingtip-first into the turbulent and comic skies of MURDER ON FLIGHT 502. This flight might not offer peanuts, but it's packed with a cargo hold's worth of laughs, gasps, and vintage flair.

In a film where the fashion is as loud as the engine roar, Robert Stack takes the captain's seat to navigate a cloud of mystery, murder, and mid-air mayhem. Think of it as AIRPLANE! meets Murder, She Wrote—with a twist of turbulence. Our beloved hero stacks a detective’s hat atop his pilot’s cap in a flight where the only thing thicker than the plot is the polyester.

From the moment the cabin doors close, you're strapped in for a flight of fancy that's more than just a little bumpy. A stewardess's scattered belongings? Check. A prankster with a penchant for chaos? Double-check. And a cryptic note promising a deadly itinerary? Oh, you bet your bottom dollar that's a check. It's a ride that guarantees both altitude and attitude, delivering suspense and humor at cruising altitude.

Will Captain Stack land the plane with everyone accounted for, or will the mystery of Flight 502 prove too much for our intrepid crew?

Oh—and somewhere in this sky-high chaos, Stephanie casually predicts Gene Hackman’s death within a year.

Buckle up for a hilarious deep dive into this high-altitude who-done-it.

In this episode, we ask the big questions: What’s the going rate for a hit gone wrong? Is projectile saliva a legitimate healing tincture? And why does every reenactment look like it was shot on the set of a mid-tier soap opera?

We dive into cases full of botched plans, baffling police work, and “red flags” that only exist in the minds of investigators who probably shouldn’t be allowed to operate a toaster oven, let alone solve a murder.

Along the way, we:
✨ Spiral over how truly dumb everyone in this episode is—from cops to criminals to hitmen who apparently got their training at a discount escape room team-building seminar.
✨ Confront the fact that we’re the most qualified investigators here—and we don’t even leave the house.
✨ Contemplate how many life choices had to go wrong for one to go from divorce court to murder plot and back to divorce court.
✨ Lose our grip over a horse so legendary that strangers show up uninvited just to gaze upon it.

It’s one part true crime, one part unhinged commentary, and all parts Zachsolved.
