[@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?

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.

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.

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!!

I don't know why people keep assuming that it was all Steven's idea to go streaming 🙄 Considering all three started the company it would be something they would decide together. And for the record I support them ✌️

[@girl1213]

Steven is not the sole villain. He may be the businessman of the Trio but they, all three, own that company. I'm glad they apologized for not realizing how much people rely on KZbin in order to support them. The "concept of money" is hard to fully grasp, especially if you're struggling. It's an addictive green poison we sadly became very dependent on.

[@samuelsanders5755]

Shane: “So I’m supposed to guess if this mystery is solved or…. 😃” This is the highlight of the episode for me

[@baasparkopenings851]

I absolutely love this choice of case. The silliness of the actual crime (minus the guy who got maced, sorry to that guy), the motivation, the fact that an unhoused man got a reward for his work and got to buy a car so he could go visit his family, the fact that the criminal was caught and rehabilitated and works doing good things for kids now and has had financial success in his life so he can actually provide for his family... 10/10 case this is the kind of true crime I want more people to cover.

[@mixmastermind]

Starting with a Solved True Crime is so smart for branding.

[@NKRomeo]

My grandpa was a fairly famous bank robber in his time. His name was George Weir. He was featured in a book called The Gang They Couldn't Catch. He hated that book because the author was romantically entangled with one of his cohorts. He said she made David Grandstaff sound like he was the brains of the operation when he wasn't. He passed, unfortunately, due to complications from a surgery. I miss him. He had the best stories. And after his stint in prison, he never had a shortage of motorcycles and he got a really cool car, a viper. I used to love him taking me on rides.

[@L16htW4rr10r]

[@bishielurfer]

I'm really happy they're doing this. Their ghost stuff is fun but their true crime content was always my favourite. And this format really plays into the slightly unhinged vibe Ryan can give when talking about the mysteries he's researched. Shane also always would try to develop theories and make guesses while listening so I like that it gives a bit more of an end goal to Shane's musings.

[@jewels10022]

I love the awkwardness of trying not to say “Unsolved” but you guys could say something along the lines of “Has this mystery been solved or is this one for the files?”

[@Grimalkind]

Honestly, this is a fairly positive story for me. The culprit ended up turning his life around and in the process they reunited a homeless man with his children. Also, a big banking corporation lost a little money! A drop in the bucket I’m sure, but still! We love to see it!

[@timitchell9947]

I mean that $400,000 wasn’t necessarily the banks money. It was people who bank there money.

[@Grimalkind]

@@timitchell9947 that’s sort of a misunderstanding about how banks work. banks aren’t like a secret vault that stores your money, you basically lend them your money and they’re on the hook to pay you back any amount you’ve lent them whenever you ask. So only the banks lose out in this scenario!
