“Unsolved Mysteries” was first broadcast in January 1987 and introduced people everywhere to an audience interactive call-to-action in which viewer tips helped to solve real cases.
Those cases involved homicides, missing people, paranormal encounters, unidentified flying objects, fraud and more.
In the 230 episodes that aired — each of which featured four to five separate cases — more than half of the wanted fugitive cases have been solved as a result of viewer tips, according to an official website about the show.
There have also been families reunited, homicide cases solved and people who have been released from prison after having been found wrongly convicted.

With the reboot, 12 new episodes will show everything from the experiences of people who have lived through trauma of a loved one’s unexplained disappearance or horrific death to a bizarre paranormal encounter. They will each be looked at with a magnifying glass, and viewers once again will be asked to weigh in with any information they might have.

These are “real cases of perplexing disappearances, shocking murders and paranormal encounters (that) fuel this revival of the iconic documentary series,” the teaser on Netflix says.
The reboot comes from the creators of the original docuseries, producers of “Stranger Things” and others.
