  • EP20 - 5 Disturbing True Crime Cases That Are Unsolved
    Jul 15 2026

    Five of the most disturbing unsolved true crime cases... from a man found under bizarre circumstances in Tennessee, to a mysterious woman in an Oslo hotel with no identity, these cases continue to haunt investigators and internet sleuths alike.

    In this video, we break down chilling true crime stories including Blair Adams, Jennifer Fairgate, the Dempsey family, Rey Rivera, and Buffalo Jim—each filled with unanswered questions, strange evidence, and theories that range from paranoia to possible foul play.

    If you’re into unsolved mysteries, creepy cases, and real-life horror stories, this is one you won’t forget.


    CASES COVERED

    [0:00] Blair Adams (Unsolved – Knoxville, Tennessee, 1996): A Canadian man fled across borders claiming someone was trying to end his life—only to be found deceased, half-naked, with thousands of dollars scattered around his body. No robbery, no clear motive, and a single unidentified hair left behind. What was he running from?

    [4:40] Jennifer Fairgate / Fergate (Oslo Plaza Hotel Mystery, 1995): A woman checks into a luxury hotel under a false name… and is later found deceased in a locked room with a gun in her hand, which she may not have even fired. No ID, no personal items... Who was she—and what really happened in Room 2805?

    [9:08] The Dempsey Family (Plant City, Florida, 2026): A horrifying modern-day case involving a mother, her two young children, and their grandmother... three generations. Despite evidence, suspicious behavior, and prior domestic disturbance calls, no arrests have been made. How is this case still unsolved?

    [11:58] Rey Rivera (Belvedere Hotel, Baltimore, 2006): A filmmaker vanishes after a mysterious phone call—only to be found days later in a locked conference room after falling through a roof. The physics don’t add up... how could he have made that jump... the medical examiner ruled the case “undetermined.” Do you agree?

    [20:18] Buffalo Jim Barrier (Las Vegas Mystery, 2008): A controversial Vegas figure who claimed he was being threatened said if he were ever targeted, it would be staged. Months later, he’s found deceased in a motel room under bizarre circumstances involving drugs, a missing car, and an unidentified woman. Coincidence—or something more sinister?
