This is a release of an episode originally published on June 6, 2023.

As much as we love coming up with the solution before the sleuth in fictional mysteries, there is something about unsolved mysteries that is fascinating. In today’s episode, Brook and Sarah discuss four well-known unsolved mysteries and their enduring appeal.

A quick note: two of the mysteries we discuss in this episode involve the deaths of real people, which can be more upsetting to hear about than fictional cases. We don’t get into detail, but understand if you choose to skip this one.
