Oh god that poor guy having his sister taken away and then being told "none of your business" is just so cruel. And being cheated and lied to. It was like kids weren't even people back then...
Ann , I agree being told none of your bussiness to a child is cruel... once he was old enough she should have found that nurse and demanded to know where his sister is.
That kind of treatment will screw a kid up for life. So heartbreaking and makes me angry. That man seems so sweet and kind. So glad they all found each other, but horrible that they lost decades of life together, smh. Just sad!
AmericanRelic2hear that's what I keep saying. As long as legal state adoptions charge money for adopting children, its still considered buying & selling children & babies, no matter how they justify or spin it.
@Piatequila I wonder how the kids didn't have that thought enter their mind...maybe they were too emotionally mature to hold their bio mom accountable, but I sure would!
@@albakreuk5830 Where in the world did you get the idea that state adoptions are a source of government revenue? In the U.S. the state does not charge anything to adopt a child. If you adopt a foster child it is ENTIRELY FREE plus the state pays toward the child's care and provides Medicaid health insurance until they are 18. There are additional services available as well sometimes. ALL FREE. If you adopt privately then other than court costs, the state receives no money whatsoever. It is the adoption agency or broker, usually an attorney, who is paid for their services. The government doesn't make a dime.
I never go to the carwash alone at night. Hell I don't like to be alone and do it in the daylight. I was about 9 or 10 when I first saw this episode in the early 90's and it scared me so bad.
I miss the 80's and 90's so much, it's probably the reason why I don't watch these episodes often; they make me cry. My mom died and my siblings live their own life along with their families. I'm still here.
I know how you feel man, things will never been the same, totally different world, people acted differently. Definitely a lot of good times, and good memories back then
I like after Donald found Dolores and met up they were wearing the same color shirt. That one tugged on my heart strings. The sadness in his voice...he absolutely adored his sister.
The Colleen Reed segment is so unforgettable, the heart wrenching scream of the actress is just so chilling. Glad they caught the two creeps who murdered her.
The tragic thing is, Colleen Reed´s death could have been entirely preventable, her killer had been charged with a triple homicide in the mid 60´s and received a death sentence, he was eventually paroled after 13 years and started killing again 3 days after his release.
I am from Austin and remember when that happened like yesterday. McDuff had already murdered several people in the late 60s. In the the late 80s, he was released by the parole board in Texas because so many prisons were overcrowded. He should have been put to death years before. It is so sad from Ms. Reed and her family. At the time Austin was not to big of a city and it impacted everyone.
I cried even listening to him talk about her its like he def. felt responsible for her and wasn't gonna just let her go. Don is a great brother, big ol' sweet guy awww.
So I fairly young and my mom would watch this show. I remember rescue 911 with William shatner was first and then at 930 unsolved mysteries and I’d watch it too and then bedtime. Man! I’d hide under my covers with just a little hole to breath out of. Lol. It scared me so much.
And it wasn’t even necessarily the show that spooked me. It Robert stacks voice and his whole personification. The trench coat, hanging out in dark places where me as a child would never dream of hanging out in at night. The first time I realized rob stack was an icon was when they brought the show back with of all people denis fucking ferina. Stack had the persona of being a crack private eye. Farina on the other hand had the persona of your uncle trying to do his best Robert stack PI 🕵️♂️ impression 🤣. ENJOY THE SHOW FOLKS ITS A REAL GEM.
When they showed her abductor was Kenneth McDuff, my heart didn't sink, it fell to the floor. I knew immediately that any and all faint, unlikely hope that she was being trafficked and could be saved was gone - that she'd met an horrendous end. He is one of the most monstrous murderers, with whose exploits I've ever had the displeasure to become conversant. I say this having watched and researched an inordinate amount of information on true crime and sexual predators/murderers.
I got chased down the street when I was in second grade by some strange looking man, after seeing so many of these episodes I knew I better run with every ounce of energy I have inside me if I want to survive. So I outran him, luckily he was far enough away that I was able to get home before he reached me. It was terrifying though.
Well, rest assured that Texas' oilmen and millionaires didn't have to pay a single extra penny in taxes to build more prisons to deal with the huge prison population. Can't raise taxes on anybody, oh no! But then this is the result. Remember that taxes are what we pay to live in a civilized society. However, certain people don't pay their fair share of taxes (e.g., Donald Trump) in what is already a tax system weighted in favor of the wealthy. Without those resources it is a less civilized society.
@@inkyguy That's a horrible argument. More tax money doesn't mean more prisons. It usually means, lining politicians pockets with more money, at the end of the day they are the ones that decide what to do with it. I notice you somehow manage to bring Trump into the conversation. At least Trump wants to keep illegal aliens (and criminals) out of the USA unlike the stupid democrats.
The way they used to treat children back then was terrible. And poor Donald. His sister's new parents just used him as a tool until Dolores became comfortable, then just threw him away. I really have to wonder how an adult could do that to a child. He wasn't much more than a baby himself and I think it was just cruel how they treated him.
Exactly who in the hell let their Girlfriend walk to the car in the middle of the night I think tracy was abducted after arriving at the car than raped and murdered driven to the apartment complex where she was discovered dead the next day fred Mckinley was Identified as a suspect in the case but died in prison the case is now closed
I learned the hard way in my 20s that you gotta carry a taser with you or some shit. I remember being 13 and an old man following me and my friend around in his car for the whole day. ALWAYS BE READY TO DEFEND YOURSELF AND DONT EVER THINK IT CANT HAPPEN TO YOU. A LOT OF CRAZIES OUT THERE
the brother and sister story has me sobbing my eyes out, I have seen so many of these episodes where they just split family members up etc is so heartbreaking, I didn't realize how bad it was back then, all those poor children who had to go through things like what that brother and sister went through is just so sad
Thanks for another episode of unsolved mysteries The tracy bunn story broke my heart and was sad😪😭 why did her boyfriend let her walk to the car alone that late at night where someone probably approached her from behind at gunpoint than this unknown predator raped than strangled tracy after the murder drove the car to the apartment complex where sadly she was discovered the next day 18 years after the crime 45 year old Fred Mcckinley was identified as a suspect in tracy's death but Unfortunately he died in prison the case is now closed
WOW! real talk, I cried like a baby on the segment with the long lost sister of the guy.. WOW. Also, the little boy who played him did a good job on the acting! really a poignant and heart touching episode. When they mom say her and she was at a loss, that when I lost it too.. damn...
All the actors who re-enacted scenes in the show were actually more authentic feeling than some movies I watch today. The boy almost tripping up the steps was a nice touch.
I would like to say to Tracy's Sister, I'm so sad for you for losing your sister the way that you lost your sister, and I Love the town y'all lived in that's a beautiful looking town, where did y'all live.
Spot on! His voice just has that "it" quality. So does Donald Sutherland's voice (in my opinion). He played Jesus in a dream sequence in the movie Johnny Got His Gun and he was *perfect*
I have been watching this show for nearly 30 years and nothing will ever replicate the feeling I have deep inside me when I watch scenes like this where siblings are separated and treated in such a heartbreaking way. So happy that the brother and sister found each other!
Thank you for sharing these videos of yours. I am disabled and don't buy many TV shows. But, I love watching stuff on CZcams. Thank you again. I am subbing.
What Donald Stradt says about grownups' just telling him "never you mind" or "It isn't any of your business" whenever he asked "the tough questions" really "hits home" with respect to my own '60's-and-'70's-era upbringing... as a small child, I, too, was seldom taken seriously, nor were my fears or concerns usually addressed at all or at least in any meaningful way. It made me feel so petty and insignificant, and scarred me for life --- even now, I have trouble with self-confidence! Why couldn't the grownups who were specifically tasked with caring for me have actually done their jobs and alleviated my concerns with solid actions, proper answers to my tearful questions, and so on?! Adults back then just didn't view children as being equally as deserving of fair treatment and respect as fellow adults; the concept of children's personal boundaries was virtually unheard of.
I'm so sorry you had to grow up like that. I was blessed because my mother treated us and spoke to us like we were people. This was in the 60's and 70's. I had problems in the first grade because my teacher would walk into the room screaming at us and wasn't treated like that at home.
The good thing that has changed in recent years is that childhood trauma is now recognized by the medical association, as a type of PTSD, and how it affects all aspects of our lives as adults. There are also lots of free videos on YT that are so helpful, free therapy! I hope you will receive some peace and healing.
@@Quacks0 One of the best and most helpful people I've found is The Crappy Childhood Fairy. She has been through it. I was finally able to put a name to so many things, or a reason for so many things. It can be very triggering to hear some things, but that's inevitable. I hope she helps you too.
always think of the flanders singing their song god said to noah, there's gonna be a floody, floody rain came down, things started to get muddy, muddy get those animals onto the arky arky
The detective in the Tracey murder case voice sounds like Muhammad Ali's, and no way would I let my girlfriend walk to a car at night alone that I'm responsible for damaging in the first place.
I agree that detective's voice was very cool. I found the boyfriend's story suspicious, why would you let your girlfriend walk to her car alone at 12 at night?
I know right! what kind of ass hole would let his girlfriend walk alone a night? I blame the boyfriend for Tracey's murder. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually killed her. He's just as guilty as the man who killed her.
I’m so happy that Penelope (Dolores) was still alive and able to reunite with Donald and their brothers and meet her other siblings and extended family. Everyone involved in that case from the aunt to children’s services to Dolores’s adopters should be ashamed
"I want to try and to catch up with 50 years of time, somehow. I'd like to hug her and tell her I missed her... yeah." Trying to make up for 50 years... I hope they were able to.
never wash a car in the open at night, never walk to an atm at night, never walk down to the grocery store at night. the freaks *always* come out at night.
Solved. In August 2005, eighteen years after Tracy's murder, DNA found on her body was linked to a convicted rapist named Frederick "Freddy" McKinley. However, investigators discovered that he had died in 2002 while serving time in prison for an unrelated crime. This case
A man not having a car doesn't necessarily mean he's unfit to be a woman's boyfriend. My ex had a car before me because her dad bought it and I had to save money to get my dad's old car fixed. Took a year, but I eventually had it running. Lol. But Tracy's boyfriend's inaction was just unacceptable. Hopefully, the story as depicted on UM concerning him, wasn't wholly true.
McDuff NEVER should've had the chance to murder Colleen, or the others he murdered during that period. People who had no business making decisions about prisoners but somehow had become prison officials, dealt with overcrowding by emptying Texas prisons of the criminals already inside. If they'd been furiously building new prisons, and only let out the non-violent prisoners on parole, as well as allowing the newly convicted non-violents to have a deferred sentence, it would've been fine. But, they paroled the rapists, murderers and death row prisoners, of whom McDuff was one, already being a vicious SERIAL KILLER. Shocker of shockers, he murdered again. He became the poster boy for the murders and rapes that were visited upon the world by these released murderers and rapists, as he added a number of victims to his already long list =(
Did anyone ever figure out the burns on Tracy's hands? Odd thing for me to wonder, I suppose, especially since the case has been solved, but was just curious.
Search for the ark is as futile as the search for Bigfoot, Nessy or UFO's, & just as ridiculous. Timber from that, if it existed, would've rotted away several millennia ago.
They always say that. Jesus supposedly thousands of years before the Bible, they use the woman isis and her child heru as one reference, they say everything in history waS before the Bible now. I don’t believe some of it
@@gtg488w lmao the Bible is a book written by a bunch of people in caves. almost every story is recorded somewhere else. Babylonia, Egypt, India, ancient “America” - all of these things have been written and twisted and re-written. Your Jesus book is not particularly original.
@@nargi no the bible is still the same as atheists still hate it despite false claims that mankind edited it over n over. Why hate it so much? Isnt it softer n nicer by now? The Truth hurts.
Haha are you kidding me. It's in the Epic of Gilgamesh and other mesepotamian myths. Look it up. The writers of the OT borrowed many of the regions classical myths and made their own versions, they're not the only ones, many cultures have done so.
@@OikPoinFive The Bible is literally a book of made up fictional stories made up by a tribe of ancient people. It's was always supposed to be allegorical
In every history of every culture of the world a deluge is mentioned and people that survived it. My opinion, Atlantis sank and many people from there sailed to different parts of the world and started different culture.
41:53 holy crap I'm shaking from that sudden sound. If I'm not mistaken, in the original episode, the update music was that cue but the theme where they would profile a wanted fugitive with the blue background.
19:55 I love the Unsolved Mysteries interpretation of generic late 80s hip hop being played at this part in the reenactment of the Tracy Wofford-Bunn case 😁
The way they treated children in those days is just heartbreaking. Such a nice man just wanted to be with his sister
nothing's changed. this still goes on today

I agree that detective's voice was very cool. I found the boyfriend's story suspicious, why would you let your girlfriend walk to her car alone at 12 at night?
I know right! what kind of ass hole would let his girlfriend walk alone a night? I blame the boyfriend for Tracey's murder. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually killed her. He's just as guilty as the man who killed her.
Let's get married, Clinton. 😁 You sound like you have a conscience, that's a good quality that the human race is lacking.
It was not the gentlemanly thing to do and his girl ended up murdered. I would of went with her to the car as well.

I’m so happy that Penelope (Dolores) was still alive and able to reunite with Donald and their brothers and meet her other siblings and extended family. Everyone involved in that case from the aunt to children’s services to Dolores’s adopters should be ashamed
"I want to try and to catch up with 50 years of time, somehow. I'd like to hug her and tell her I missed her... yeah."
Trying to make up for 50 years... I hope they were able to.
It was so cruel what they did to Donald. It is heartbreaking 💔
never wash a car in the open at night, never walk to an atm at night, never walk down to the grocery store at night.
the freaks *always* come out at night.
Solved. In August 2005, eighteen years after Tracy's murder, DNA found on her body was linked to a convicted rapist named Frederick "Freddy" McKinley. However, investigators discovered that he had died in 2002 while serving time in prison for an unrelated crime. This case
Donald And Penelope (Delores) was a heart wrenching story but it had a happy ending ♥️❤️💐😭😭❤️❤️ god bless UM for reuiniting families.
NEVER...NEVER date man who doesn't have his own ride, when you do.
Yeah, go work and upgrade yourself before finding a woman.
Soooo true.
A man not having a car doesn't necessarily mean he's unfit to be a woman's boyfriend. My ex had a car before me because her dad bought it and I had to save money to get my dad's old car fixed. Took a year, but I eventually had it running. Lol. But Tracy's boyfriend's inaction was just unacceptable. Hopefully, the story as depicted on UM concerning him, wasn't wholly true.
Exactly
Bring back a show like this. Modern reality TV sucks
I was so happy to hear the update music after the story with Donald
So glad the entire family was reunited
McDuff NEVER should've had the chance to murder Colleen, or the others he murdered during that period. People who had no business making decisions about prisoners but somehow had become prison officials, dealt with overcrowding by emptying Texas prisons of the criminals already inside. If they'd been furiously building new prisons, and only let out the non-violent prisoners on parole, as well as allowing the newly convicted non-violents to have a deferred sentence, it would've been fine. But, they paroled the rapists, murderers and death row prisoners, of whom McDuff was one, already being a vicious SERIAL KILLER. Shocker of shockers, he murdered again. He became the poster boy for the murders and rapes that were visited upon the world by these released murderers and rapists, as he added a number of victims to his already long list =(
@19:55 Really Unsolved Mysteries? I can't with that song LMAO and ya'll was serious too hahahahahaha
It’s my new favorite song lol
Like a bootleg kurtis blow
@@thesilentdiva LMAO Right?
@@digitalsalsas LMAO
In 2005 DNA matched to Freddy McKinley for the murder of Tracey. He had already died in prison so was never charged.
At least they figured out who did it.
While unfortunate he wasn’t prosecuted directly, at least he was locked up.
So how do we know it was really Freddy McKinley if he was never charged it's suspicious to me
@@michelleknight-qq2xo yeah if it wasnt him then we srill got someone out there on the loose, and i bet someone else knows who it is
Reeds killer was executed in 98.
I hope mcduff is rotting in HELL🤬😡👿
A bit too late. But better than Australia where we don’t have death penalty- but we should. Peace
I rememeber when Colleen Reed went missing. I was 8 and went to school on Austin, and it was in the news a lot.
Did they ever report if those three nice fellas got any spaghetti? 😢
Did anyone ever figure out the burns on Tracy's hands? Odd thing for me to wonder, I suppose, especially since the case has been solved, but was just curious.
Carpet burns perhaps?
@@Booth1667very good point
Search for the ark is as futile as the search for Bigfoot, Nessy or UFO's, & just as ridiculous. Timber from that, if it existed, would've rotted away several millennia ago.
Fallen asleep to UM on playlist two nights in a row, and woken up two nights in a row by the screaming at 40:30...chilling..I'm not a light sleeper.
Oh wow, I actually remember watching this episode when it first aired.
I love this show. I’m glad that it on here
I am sickened by the family that treated those kids that way....makes me so upset
That’s hard part of Baton Rouge, basically right down the road from campus (LSU).
And God sayeth "I will micromanage thee, like thee hast never built a boat before."
1:45 the unexplained
15:17 unexplained death
25:09 lost loves
36:20 missing persons
" In ancient Babylonia that Noah's story was recorded long before the Bible..." I'd like to see that reference.
They always say that. Jesus supposedly thousands of years before the Bible, they use the woman isis and her child heru as one reference, they say everything in history waS before the Bible now. I don’t believe some of it
@@gtg488w lmao the Bible is a book written by a bunch of people in caves. almost every story is recorded somewhere else. Babylonia, Egypt, India, ancient “America” - all of these things have been written and twisted and re-written. Your Jesus book is not particularly original.
@@nargi no the bible is still the same as atheists still hate it despite false claims that mankind edited it over n over. Why hate it so much? Isnt it softer n nicer by now? The Truth hurts.
Haha are you kidding me. It's in the Epic of Gilgamesh and other mesepotamian myths. Look it up. The writers of the OT borrowed many of the regions classical myths and made their own versions, they're not the only ones, many cultures have done so.
@@OikPoinFive
The Bible is literally a book of made up fictional stories made up by a tribe of ancient people. It's was always supposed to be allegorical
These reunion stories make me cry.
great episode
Donald's persistence to find his sister proves one thing: you never give up hope!😊
19:55 That's the greatest rap song of all time.
And thats why I never go anywhere alone if any abduction happens
I read a brief account once of a Luftwaffe pilot who, during WWll, claimed to have spotted the ark from the air when flying over the mountain.
Donald the brother is what a REAL man should be like
In every history of every culture of the world a deluge is mentioned and people that survived it. My opinion, Atlantis sank and many people from there sailed to different parts of the world and started different culture.
Unsolved Mysteries' reunions making me tear up!!!
Whoa @ :58, Robert Stack on FIRE!
Very "flustrating" that Tracy's murder wasn't being investigating by a competent detective.
Yes I feel you are right
38:19 The famous spaghetti conversation and god awful scream scene.
Whose to say there weren't 2 Arks???
They were very close to each other.
I mean, 17 miles is NOT FAR if there were 2 boats floating near each other.
41:53 holy crap I'm shaking from that sudden sound. If I'm not mistaken, in the original episode, the update music was that cue but the theme where they would profile a wanted fugitive with the blue background.
19:55 I love the Unsolved Mysteries interpretation of generic late 80s hip hop being played at this part in the reenactment of the Tracy Wofford-Bunn case 😁
Always happy to see people track down family, friends, lovers, etc. "Someday it will be my turn..."
surely with all the advances in gps, satelites, radar etc, they could go look today
One plus side of being fat- no one is going to grab you up at a carwash
"Fat people are harder to kidnap" that was a t-shirt i had at one point.
