Murder, mystery, and a shocking amount of self-reflection—this week, Zachsolved Mysteries takes on the I-70 Killer, a still-unidentified murderer who left a trail of bodies across the Midwest. 

But before that, we explore eerie after-death visits, where the line between comforting spiritual encounters and terrifying ghostly visions gets very blurry. Then, we ask the important questions: What happens when your job is just supposed to be answering phones, but you accidentally become a saint? 

And finally—Stephanie’s crime scene. Would her inevitable demise be ruled a tragic mystery? Or would investigators take one look at the abandoned planners, rice cake crumbs, and post-it note chaos and simply nod in understanding?

Come for the true crime, stay for the existential dread. Tune in before Jeff Bezos issues a wellness check.

Welcome back, degenerates and overthinkers! Season 2 of Zachsolved Mysteries is here, and we’re starting off strong with questionable nautical choices, a war-era slush fund with zero insight, and a love story that’s as bizarre as it is unexpectedly sweet.

We’re investigating the disappearance of a journalism student who set sail on a boat that, much like its captain, was not what it seemed. Then, we examine the case of a young tennis pro who turned his back on a life of privilege, much to the horror of his pearl-clutching family, and found himself drawn to a mystic who actually seemed to be paying attention. Meanwhile, an Austrian lake is hiding a fortune in Nazi gold, but the only thing less competent than white supremacists is their ability to cash in on their stolen treasure. And finally, we recount the stunning beginning of a prison-break romance, because nothing says “till death do us part” like getting handcuffed to a bed – twice!

Along the way, we break down the logistics of international waters-based murder, the unexpected dangers of mixing country club sports with unresolved trauma, and whether Robert Stack owns a cozy winter bungalow in Coral Gables. We also get real about mental health, existential spirals, and what happens when dreams are so visceral they follow you into your waking life.

If you've ever considered fleeing the country with a guy who has long, flowing hair and an urgent but non-specific plan, at least listen to this episode first. If you haven’t—good. Stay put.

Welcome to Season 2. Let’s get weird.

Ho, ho—horrific. Just in time for the holiday season, we’ve unwrapped a special gift for you in your podcast feed: a previously Patreon-only episode that digs deep into one of the most infamous Christmas crimes of all time—the murder of JonBenét Ramsey.
 
Join us as we sift through ransom notes, broken windows, and bowlfuls of good southern common sense to uncover why this case remains as tangled as a string of Christmas lights. From the baffling evidence to the avalanche of theories, we’ll sleigh our way through the twists, turns, and missteps of the investigation.
 
So grab your stocking, fill it with skepticism, and let’s crack this cold case—because nothing says “Merry Christmas” quite like a tragic mystery wrapped in scandal and sealed with duct tape.
 PSA: Don’t trust anyone who eats pineapple and milk with a spoon.

🎄This week on Zachsolved Mysteries, we’re serving up a holiday feast of chaos, conspiracies, and crime that’ll make you rethink the whole ‘peace on Earth’ thing.

First up, a nurse disappears under suspicious circumstances, a pond goes from silent night to prime suspect faster than you can say “jingle all the way,” and Captain Gaslight botches the investigation so badly, it’s like he’s auditioning for The Grinch Who Stole Competence.

Then, fugitive lovebirds take us on a reckless romp that feels less Bonnie and Clyde and more like a low-budget prison break sponsored by bad decisions. Meanwhile, an unmarked grave leads one woman on a search for her grandmother’s truth, uncovering more questions than answers.

But the real test comes with a missing pilot case dripping in Cold War tension and redacted intrigue. Fresh off his official CIA intervention - complete with boundaries, breathing exercises, and his code-named sponsor on speed dial - Zach is doing his best to hold it together. And by ‘hold it together,’ we mean Stephanie has to remind him that spiraling into Frank Sturgis theories is not part of the recovery plan. Will he make it through the segment without choking on red string? 

Join us for an episode that’s festive in name only. Because nothing says “holiday cheer” like disappearing body barrels, missing pilots, and Captain Gaslight reminding us all that he’s truly the gift that keeps on gaslighting.

To everyone out there—happy holidays! Or, if you’re not celebrating, we hope you’re finding some peace and quiet this time of year. We know the holidays can be tough for a lot of people, so if you’re feeling depressed or overwhelmed, please reach out. You can call the mental health hotline at 988, or you could even email us at [email protected]. We love you, you’re not alone, and there’s always someone who wants to hear from you.

This week’s Zachsolved Mysteries isn’t your standard recap—not only is it a birthday gift to the man Zach himself, it’s an unsanctioned exploration into shadowy CIA antics, frosty sideshow oddities, and Cary Grant’s psychedelic “exercises” (let’s just say you may never look at North by Northwest the same way again).

Was CIA scientist Frank Olson killed by the agency to cover up their covert LSD experiments? Did his mysterious death set the stage for decades of mind control programs unleashed upon the unsuspecting public? Zach takes us on an exhaustive journey into this case, complete with bios, side plots, and enough Cold War intrigue to make your head spin faster than you can say “MKUltra.” We’re also sifting through the frost-covered enigma that is the Minnesota Iceman, leased by a mysterious stranger who clearly never skips squat day, along with a lost loves that could melt even the most frozen of ape-man popsicles.

This is an episode so wild it should require government clearance and a non-disclosure agreement, but don’t worry—we’d never redact the laughs. Tune in for mind control, bad accents, and a journey that’s part government exposé, part cryptozoological daydream. We promise this episode won’t turn you into a sleeper cell... unless 'banana pancake,' 'velveteen dishwater,' or 'disco turtleneck' suddenly start making you want to overthrow a tropical island’s sugar-based economy.
