Get ready for a Farina-nomenon of mysteries more unsolved than a MySpace top 8 drama! Zachsolved Mysteries is whisking you back to 2008, the golden age of low-rise jeans and Obamamania, where Dennis Farina's hosting is a blast from the recent past. 
We're planking into a smorgasbord of puzzlers that'll make you zig, zag, and zong with confusion: A bank bandit more elusive than Lehman Brothers' assets, a love story filled with more red flags than Sarah Palin's campaign trail, and a 911 call that’s more perplexing than the Lost finale.

Join us as we navigate through Google Maps galore (because when you've got new tech, you've gotta flaunt it), reenactments that oscillate between Oscar-worthy performances and "I'm-just-here-for-the-free-lunch" acting, and freeze frames so dramatic, they'll make you see negative. Listen as Zach channels his inner Windy City detective with spot-on Farina impressions that'll have you wondering if he's been taking secret lessons from Stephanie's long-lost Chicago dad. We'll solve these mysteries faster than you can say "Enhance that image!" – which, spoiler alert, they actually try to do.

So grab your flip phone, fire up your dial-up internet, and get ready to solve some mysteries - Zachsolved style!

Zachsolved Mysteries is back with a mind-bending episode that'll have you questioning reality faster than you can say 'Apache shaman.' 

This week, we're diving headfirst into the shadowy world of the Men in Black. No, not the Will Smith variety – we're talking about the real deal, sunglasses-at-night, possibly-not-human kind. Are they government agents? Aliens? Or just really committed cosplayers? We'll unravel this enigma while somehow managing to discuss Alan Thicke's psychic abilities and the proper technique for mouse gargling (don't try this at home, folks).

But wait, there's more! We'll also unpack a bizarre transcontinental odyssey that ends in tragedy and explore whether the living can truly chat with the dearly departed. Spoiler alert: it might involve tantric sex candles and Sting. Don't ask how we got there.

Along the way, we'll take our signature unscripted detours into the nature of reality, the origins of Sybians (again, don't ask), and why Zach can't seem to remember the name of that big city in British Columbia. Vancouver? Never heard of it.

Grab your black suit and shades and join us for an evening of unsolved riddles, unexpected revelations, and our patented ZSM theater. Who knows? You might just stumble upon the truth... or at least have a great time trying. The unknown awaits – let's get weird together!

Originally a coveted Patreon-only treasure from June 2023, we're exhuming this body of evidence for all to examine. We're lifting the velvet rope, inviting everyone to this VIP mystery party, and delivering it to your ears earlier than usual this week!

On today's autopsy table of mysteries, we’re serving up a smorgasbord of macabre morsels that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about true crime. Were the Black Dahlia and Cleveland Torso murders more than just a series of gruesome coincidences? Did Elliott Smith secretly pull the strings of the Los Angeles mob from beyond the grave? Is Jerry Lewis actually alive and working as Ned Beatty's butler? We'll slice into outrageous theories and maybe even cut a phantom telethon in half.

Our crack team of professional amateur sleuths leaves no stone unturned in our quest for the truth. We'll go out on a limb – or should we say, torso – to bring you the most bizarre theories out there. Remember: in show business, it's not what you know, it's who you dismember!

Will we solve these mysteries once and for all? Probably not, but we guarantee you'll have a killer time joining us on this madcap adventure through the more gruesome side of history. Along the way, we'll share our own paranormal experiences, update you on everyone's least favorite transracial icon Rachel Dolezal, and warn you about the dangers of murderous redheads.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to dive into content previously reserved for our most dedicated supporters. It's like stumbling upon an unmarked grave in a forgotten cemetery – thrilling, slightly unsettling, and guaranteed to unearth some buried secrets!

***
Warning: This episode may be too raunchy for our regular stream, so listen with caution! We dive into some detailed discussions about lady bits right off the bat, so maybe save this one for when the kids aren't around. Side effects may include uncontrollable nervous laughter, a tendency to see conspiracies in your breakfast cereal, and a sudden interest in vintage telethons and mysterious packages. Consume at your own risk – just like that glass of wine we definitely didn't spill while recording!

Hold onto your tin foil hats and grab a glass of warm milk, mystery enthusiasts! Zachsolved Mysteries is back with a jaw-dropping episode that couldn't wait for our regular schedule. We're serving up this delectable dish of intrigue a week early because, frankly, we're too excited to keep it to ourselves!

In this pulse-pounding installment, we're diving deeper than ever into the Son of Sam case. Brace yourselves for Part 2 of our mind-bending journey through the twisted tale that left Robert Stack's trench coat so bewildered, it started narrating its own unsolved mysteries about missing buttons and phantom dry cleaning receipts. We're not just connecting dots; we're weaving a web of conspiracy theories so wild, they'd make L. Ron Hubbard's E-meter spin off the charts.

Was David Berkowitz truly a lone wolf, or was he just one pawn in a much larger, sinister game? We're following the breadcrumbs left by investigative journalist Maury Terry, venturing into shadowy territories where satanic cults and serial killers intersect. This isn't your average true crime podcast – we're pushing the boundaries of what you thought you knew about one of America's most notorious murder sprees, making connections that would leave even Charles Manson scratching his swastika.

But that's not all! We're also taking a spectral stroll through a historic inn where the past refuses to stay in the past, and we'll update you on a high-stakes kidnapping case that'll leave you questioning everything.

So, settle in and prepare to have your mind blown. Zachsolved Mysteries is here to crack the cases that left others baffled, and we're bringing you along for the ride. Don't miss this early release – the truth can't wait, and neither can we!

Get ready to run as fast as you can down memory lane as we take you on a wild ride through the concrete jungle of 1970s New York City! Tune in for a hair-raising (or dyeing?) tale that'll have you saying, "I'm walking here!" faster than a Times Square minute.

We're combing through the story of a mysterious figure who turned the Big Apple into the Big Panic: David Berkowitz, a.k.a. the Son of Sam. Find out how one mysterious night owl turned the city that never sleeps into the city that couldn't sleep, why jogging became the hottest trend since Sbarro, and why beauty salons were busier than a subway station at rush hour.

We're also serving up a double helping of mystery with a side of Southern hospitality. We'll take you to a small Georgia town where a church became a crime scene, and the key to solving it might be right before your eyes. Then we're heading to Omaha for a tale of fortune and forgotten family that'll have you checking your family tree faster than you can say "long-lost relative."

Tune in and join us for a night of thrills, chills, and enough plot twists to make your head spin faster than a disco ball!

In this episode of Zachsolved Mysteries, we're plunging into mysteries so perplexing, not even Robert Stack's trench coat could absorb the flop sweat these mind-boggling cases cause. 

First stop: San Francisco, where a noodle baron checked out of life's menu more abruptly than a health inspector at a Chipotle during the E. coli outbreak. Next, we head over to Rhode Island where an accident victim is searching for two heroes who rescued her from a fiery wreck, then vanished faster than your dignity after an awkward, unsolicited smooch. Then we're hitting Atlantic City with a case so twisted it'll make your head spin faster than a roulette wheel. We've got a tragedy, a suspect young enough to still believe in the Tooth Fairy, and a justice system that seems to have misplaced its common sense. 

So grab your rookie detective badge and your cup-o-noodles, we're in for a wild ride through the land of the unsolved, where suspects are young enough to still have baby teeth and heroes vanish faster than a detective's pizzazz mid-wee. Who knows? You might just crack a case with us... or at least crack up trying!
