As a child these terrified me, but at the same time I was so intrigued by the mysteries, The killer ones scared me at night, but I LOVED the ones about UFO's and especially the ones about gold and treasure that was lost, The mythical Legends and Lore, still today 30 years later- No show even compares, and how perfect was Robert Stack for this show? his voice is so deep and majestic. #RobertStack #RIP #UnsolvedMysteries #1980s

Gwen was able to get in contact with one of Gary's daughters. She learned that he was adopted in 1941 and renamed Robert Ernest Lundstrom. He married and had three children: Kristina, Bruce, and Debbie. However, surprisingly, Robert vanished sometime in 1964 from Huntington, New York and has never been found. After talking with his old classmates, his daughter Kristina believes that he changed his last name to Keegan. She also suspects that he may not want to be found. In 2001, Gwen was reunited with Gary's children. Sadly, a few years later, Debbie passed away. Gwen and his two surviving children are now searching together for what happened to Gary/Robert. Florence Winch LaValley passed away in 1994.

Hello Lauren, I also am fond of this show! When I grew up, this show aired at 7pm, and the paranormal episodes were freaky. My parents worked late and so I would hear the pipes and floor creak while I watched these episodes. At the time, it seemed like that this only occured when I was alone in the house, however, they creaked all of the time. LOL

In case anyone was curious: In 1981, there was a very solid lead that Richard Bocklage was at his sister’s wedding in St. Louis, MO. However, Agents didn’t get there in time and by then he was long gone. Detective Warren Miller later indicated in an interview that he strongly suspected that Richard’s family was providing assistance to him on the run. He never found any smoking gun that was the case, however.

[@SniperWolf895]

Nothing seems to have changed. I really don’t understand how they are okay to separate children from each other.

[@TheSaneHatter]

Much of their policy seems to be based on the idea that the poor, the unwed, and their children are bad people who need to be "put straight," and that means through deprivation and loss of identity. The children were to be forced to start life over as completely new people, to make up for the "original sin" of being adoptees. This is so critical, "for their own good," that social workers think they're entitled to lie in order to make it happen.

[@iampossible3308]

They seemed more like child "affliction" services. :( Humans have always been and still are so heartless, many don't understand or know parental love, sad world we live in!

[@patrickperalta59]

I agree back then and I asumme even today those Child protection people just love to brake up familes. ok so everyone back then and today are not rich and are poor but the parents for the most part do the best they can. just annoying as hell when they put the children up for adoption then hide all records of it. That's why I'm glad with Unsolved Mysteries over the years they helped many reunite with their familes.

[@bdgc5785]

These older shows talking about the "American Dream" make me sad at the fall of America. Used to be back in those days, and earlier, having a simple 9 to 5 job and working was enough to provide for a few kids, yourself, have a nice car, a nice sized home, even have enough money to put aside for retirement and an odd vacation here or there. All of this, while having the wife stay at home if she wished to take care of the kids. Now you can barely provide for yourself doing that let alone kids and a stay at home wife. Government knows they could squeeze more money out of us and up the cost of everything through tweaking the "economy", so now everyone has to work their ass off to barely get by these days, and that's even for people who don't binge on frivolous things like paying for Disney+ or other idiotic monthly payment entertainment.

My grandmother and her brothers were abandoned by their father (or taken away) and put in an orphanage during the depression or possibly a little earlier. My father found this out recently; she had always told him that they were orphans from Poland, not that they had been orphaned here in the US. She was old enough to remember her father when she was orphaned, so that probably played a part in why she didn’t discuss it (she died about 20 years ago.) My dad wasn’t able to find out why their father couldn’t keep them. My great-uncles then spent their lives being close to the orphanage and doing all sorts of work for them and the children for decades. Several books about the orphan system in Chicago talked about my great-uncles. I don’t know what was going on in the child “protective” system back then. Seems like every episode on UM has some awful story about families being separated unfairly. Now that I know I have a family link to the orphanages at that time, I’m going to start reading up on it more.

He said there was one major creep who tried to entice the young kids. He didn’t claim there was anything systematic about that. The orphanage had reunions occasionally and the majority of the students there had good things to say about their lives in the orphanage. The place was torn down in the 90s.

He couldn't take a TOY?! It's like the *goal* was psychological damage.

[@karlay455]

The story about Paul was just very horrible- when your family doesn’t know anything and 11 days later his friend die in an airplane crash but a different number than what showed listed.

[@woodbrassandglass]

Paul Wipkey, looked like the Men In Black interviewing him.

[@NoirL.A.]

the actor who played 'BOCKLAGE' did a great job. i obviously never knew the man but i can very well picture that's what he was really like. from what i understand when he murdered his girlfriend he was already showing signs of paranoid schizophrenia. i'd guess he either suicided and the body was never found or he just ended up homeless and living off the grid which is why he was never found.

[@JimmyDee12]

Robert Stack must’ve done a ton of traveling

[@Codyjb818]

Paul Whipke seemingly knew about something that the military could not let the public discover. Likely something related to extraterrestrials.

[@newcastlemusicstudios]

Paul had to have all his teeth extracted... I mean with??? The dude obviously had radiation poisoning. Atomic tests, fallout, blotches on skin. Isn't it ironic how the military is based respect and honor and they totally Dishonored this poor soldier..

[@clopez4280]

...yea was thinking that. He probably had other health issues if they had to extract all his teeth. Probably impotent at the very least. At the worst, the army probably knew he only had a bit of time left before cancer kicked in and killed him. Maybe they did send him out of the country on a "secret mission" knowing he would die there. Hid the truth from his family, but it probably happened to many other soldiers that worked at the nuclear test site. Just another example of the army sweeping it's failures under the rug. But the truth will come out one day.

Astarte the homewrecker killed him

[@ullgeologist]

Richard Bocklage is still wanted, 40 years later. He would be about age 65 now. Dr. Tanya Kopric’s case is the prime example of how women should NOT get involved with men who do not treat them with respect. He used her, got what he wanted out of her, and then killed her. The poor woman was SO desperate and blinded by love to stay with him as long as she did. Ladies, you will NOT change such a man! If dating with him is miserable, marriage will be even worse. Break it off while there is still time-and you are still living. Keep looking for a gentleman, and do NOT look back once you let a jerk go!

[@DMalltheway]

Well she tried breaking it off….

[@kt1pl2]

Gary=perfectly happy. Welfare worker=No, he's got to go!

[@billwhite515]

I don't understand the "times" not accepting that the friend isn't married. Was Gary happy, well adjusted? If so leave it be.

[@onlyme574]

Why the HELL take a child away from an already happy place. FFS man!!

So she don’t get extra jail time for escaping 🤦🏽‍♀️

Yes, she had to serve an additional year

Love me some Robert Stack but it’s height not heighth!

[@TawnyC_]

How did the county even get involved and know about Gary living with the Winches?

[@chiefsittingstill6061]

First time I've ever recognised an actor in an episode :-) I'm pretty sure that's Holmes Osborne (who played Donnie Darko's dad in the film of the same name) playing the Assistant Dean in the Richard Bocklage segment.

[@lisamarieligreci-newton7804]

I thought that too! I called my husband over to check.

Pls tell my why when people escaped from Prison in the states, once caught they are sent back to serve their REMAINING terms only? No additional terms for the break out?? Not surprise every convict is trying to escape...

[@userunknownx]

Whipkey could've ended up at Groom Lake test flying secret projects, or just some secret op that went fubar and we'll never know.

[@joannemurdock7899]

Robert Stack the man with the 'Voice'

[@vernareed5534]

I don't understand why social services or the officials even entered into the situation with Gary if his mother & the other family he stayed with had made the agreement to keep Gary!! Why was social services able to just come take him away?

[@rbrowning9617]

Yep, too much government interference never ends well

[@lisamarieligreci-newton7804]

Is the dean that talked to Richard the actor that played Donnie Darko's dad (Holmes Osborne)?? That totally jumped out at me - I know some actors had bit roles in re-enactments.

[@kwave5426]

Yes!

[@fabricatedreality8218]

The Govt killed him, duh.

A lesson for men who leave their wives for stunningly pretty ladies.. Jim left his wife for her and unfortunately for him, he paid the ultimate price. Grass is never greener.

Richard's like a lot of college kids now

[@msp507]

How did CPS know the little boy was with that family to begin with ???

[@melswanson502]

I assume since they filled out foster parent papers. They probably needed government assistance.

[@lisalisatoejam2751]

Richard looks 45

[@mediasawdust2458]

Jim Rice is a far cry from his MVP days.

Richard was a cornball

[@EphemeralProductions]

More like a NUTball. 😕. Lol

[@NoirL.A.]

i know a psychologist we watched this episode together and she said RICHARD BOCKLEDGE was showing signs of early onset paranoid schizophrenia. she said the letter he sent the family was a classic example of grandiose paranoid thinking in addition to several other symptoms. he was never caught but id' guess he either suicided or ended up on the streets. in addition to mental illness he was also a tough guy/hothead/ anger management needing type so i doubt he'd be able to keep a low profile for very long unless he was dead or living off the grid. i'd guess suicide because he was guaranteed to have gotten arrested at some point like i said keeping a low profile would've been pretty much impossible for someone like him.

[@marielaveau6362]

How is it that Richard Bocklage has mananged to evade the law for such a long time? That sucks! And don't even get me started on that dead-beat dad running out on his kids and some county welfare worker taking that child from that family who had loved and cared for him all his life.

[@memphispresley7145]

Social Service sucks you had a child in a good home and you pulled him from that hm just bec the women was a single women but she had neighbors and family that would have helped her until the mother could get back on her feet shame on them. Poor Catherine one day you will see Gary in Heaven you will have all the time you need to let him know how much you loved and missed him

[@FutureCanadaBlue]

Lieutenant Colonel Lewis is the kind of leader that should be in every work environment...backs his people to the hilt, and moves heaven and earth to try and find answers when something happens to one of them. IIRC, there was a similar episode involving another young military officer who seemingly disappeared, some years before Lieutenant Whipkey I think, and his wife and child were kicked out of base housing when he was declared AWOL. There were later mysterious phone calls from a man claiming to be a retired government agent reporting that the officer was alive and well, working undercover in a NATO nation with magnificent scenery or words to that effect.

[@KentPetersonmoney]

So that guy got away killing his ex. Probably dead now

[@azchanna]

If he is alive he would be about 65 years of age

[@janbaldwin1189]

Social Services - what a cruel system, why wouldn't you leave this child with a loving family, the only one he knew.
