If you guys were to pull off a heists, what would you rob and what would your heist names be?

Does BFG stand for big fricken guy?

[@leenacloudberry8049]

Not a question, but guys. Come on. Not really a victimless crime when someone gets bear maced in the face on their day job. You can’t go around telling people to rob banks because violence or the threat of it is inherent to a robbery. You tell them to STEAL from a bank! 👍👍👍 Thank you for a wonderful mystery!❤PS. Why doesn’t Ryan have a mustache?

[@AllieAllieOxenFree21]

Is Ryan not aware of the difference between "radio" and "2-way radio" or was he well aware and intentionally trying to make us believe DB Tuber was floating down the river with 2 bags of money blasting Burning Up by the Jonas Brothers until the big reveal?

[@michaelgeorge4643]

They also left out the part where he went to Vegas, and blew the money on drugs, gambling, and women lol. They make it seem like he was some sort of vigilante, he was a self-destructive and selfish person that stole the money to fund his habit, cheat on his wife, and gamble like a degenerate. The real hero of the story is his wife, how she did not leave him after the hell he put her through is beyond me.

[@brittanyclayton477]

@@michaelgeorge4643 did he really do exactly all those things in vegas? iirc vegas is one of the best place to launder/wash your money so bigger bills don't get their numbers checked under your name, and the fact that the only way he got caught was through DNA analysis. im not absolving him of his past drug history, but there's still chance of him not exactly doing other heinous acts against his wife.

[@michaelgeorge4643]

"But if you didn't know Carter and saw him on the street like this, you wouldn't know it was him." Yep, I can honestly say that if I didn't know someone, I wouldn't recognize them.

[@maxfitz8577]

@@usagi32211 I get the point Ryan’s making though, like the only reason Carter is recognizable is because they know each other. If they were strangers, and Carter were to take off all the landscaper garb, it’d be hard to pinpoint him as the same guy, making it a pretty legit heist disguise.

TOPIC IDEA: Please consider making an episode that follows up on the cases you’d covered on Unsolved that are now solved - they solved Somerton Man, Boy in the Box, Amelia Earhart (edit: kinda), and the Lady of the Dunes! It’s be fun to go over how they solved each of these cases!!

[@djripley42]

Holy shit the production on this is so insanely well done. Just 10/10 excellent quality from the whole team. And I also loved the acknowledgement of the human side of the situation as well - it's so easy and common in "true crime" stories to treat the lives/people in them as essentially crazy fiction, but y'all balanced both being funny & entertaining with the ethical victories that are the best part of the story (Allen Dean getting a car and to reunite with family, Anthony Curcio getting sober and moving on well in his life, and just overall understanding the context of the rough time people were in). Super well done, guys. Can't wait for more

[@zephyra3076]

Some Unsolved Cases has been solved already! KZbin channel, SunnyV2, has a video on it

[@Marzi29]

Some of the unidentified cases they've done have been identified now. The Boy in the Box, Somerton man, and I think they did the Lady of the Dunes too? They're all identified now :) but there's not much more to talk about. We know LotD had a husband who was suspected in the murder of his first wife and stepdaughter and he vanished after LotD was found, so it's pretty conclusive he killed her. The other two haven't had that much added by being identified, Somerton man took his own life anyway and nobody seems to know who BitB was living with when he died. So I don't think whole episodes could be done on them.

[@moonriverinc7896]

[@1lovesoni]

Eh, $400,000 is only about 10lbs in 100s. 20lb if it's 50s. Possibly 50lbs at most of its a combination of all bills down to 5s. But, considering it's a bank, not a retail business, I doubt they were receiving a significant number of 1s, 5s, or 10s. Banks get those from customers, I'd bet the armored car is usually delivering high-value notes at a bank.

[@maddycheeze]

For further science, they should run with what they THINK is the amount, then what actually is. The conclusion will likely be Shane being whacked in the head with low tree boughs and Ryan ripping the bags on rocks trying to steal Shane's bag from his concussed body.

[@ferisera]

YAY! A "crime" series that's mystery-oriented, not necessarily about murder and general dehumanizing awfulness. The mystery just emphasizes the very humanity involved!
