In "Unsolved Mysteries" season 1 episode 14, titled "Episode #14," viewers are taken on a journey through four different mysterious cases, each of which remain unsolved to this day. The first case involves the disappearance of a young woman named Cindy Anderson in 1981. Despite extensive searches and investigations, Cindy was never found, leaving her family and loved ones with no closure or answers as to what happened to her.
The second case highlights the story of a mother named Joan Risch, who vanished without a trace from her Massachusetts home in 1961. Her two young children were found unharmed in the house, but Joan was nowhere to be found. The strange circumstances surrounding her disappearance have baffled investigators and amateur sleuths for decades.
The third case takes viewers to Louisiana, where the mysterious "Voodoo Murders" took place in the late 1980s. A series of brutal killings occurred, each involving the use of voodoo rituals and symbols. Despite a substantial reward for information and numerous leads, the perpetrator was never caught.
Finally, the episode delves into the story of the "West Memphis Three" - three teenage boys who were convicted of murdering three young boys in Arkansas in 1993. Many believed that the boys were wrongly accused and that there was insufficient evidence to convict them, leading to a fierce debate between those who believed in their innocence and those who thought they were guilty.
