Zachsolved Mysteries

Send us Fan Mail Season 3 of Zachsolved Mysteries has arrived! Prepare your ear-butts, we have a season opener so dynamic with mysteries you may develop a temporary palsy!  This week we find ourselves in the fast lane…for MURDER, with the mysterious death of a racing legend and his bejeweled bride. Then we follow the true saga of a square-jawed career criminal who can escape the police, but not ou...

Send us Fan Mail What you’re hearing today is a ZSM Theatre scene: Stephanie writes a script and Zach goes in completely cold, having never read it – and somehow nails it anyway. This clip is a “lost” episode of All in the Family - an unaired, deeply inappropriate, oddly heartfelt episode that absolutely should not exist… but somehow does.  This is from our latest Patreon bonus, a full-on variety...

Send us Fan Mail In a quiet room meant for rest, a woman begins to see something behind the pattern — something alive, something watching, something waiting… What starts as confinement becomes revelation in this haunting classic of psychological horror and feminist rebellion. Turn down the lights, and look closer… Fresh from ZSM HQ — because it’s always midnight somewhere. Music for this episode h...

Send us Fan Mail The crypt doors creak open once more as Stephanie and Zach resurrect last year’s Patreon-only Halloween Spooktacular for the main feed—slightly abridged, freshly exhumed, and scrubbed of its cursed (read: licensed) tunes. Join us for a chaotic séance of devil stories, urban legends, absurd games, and true-crime tangents that should’ve stayed buried. Neither host knew what the othe...

Send us Fan Mail For the next installment in our Midnight Mini series, Stephanie reads another J.B. Stamper classic, The Jigsaw Puzzle: A quiet night. An old puzzle. A picture that wasn’t meant to be finished. Turn down the lights, and piece this one together - if you dare... Stephanie’s sharing her childhood nightmare fuel - so now it’s yours too, congrats! Music and additional effects sourced fr...

Send us Fan Mail From the twisted mind who brought you Psycho , and the voice that brings you Zachsolved Mysteries — our latest Midnight Drop descends into Robert Bloch’s “A Home Away From Home.” Turn the lights down, get cozy, and ignore those whispers in the hall... Story written by Robert Bloch. Music and additional effects sourced from Pixabay and Freesound (public domain/CC0). Music and addit...

Send us Fan Mail A bite-size treat while we’re between seasons—and to get you in the spoooooky mood! Stephanie narrates one of her childhood faves, JB Stamper’s classic chiller “The Furry Collar,” with sound design that crawls under your skin. It’s short, creepy, and perfect for a late-night scare. This is just a taste of what’s coming: our 2nd Annual Spooooktober Spectacular Livestream will be op...

Send us Fan Mail It’s our Season 2 finale - extra-sized to keep you satiated through the rest of the summer - and we’re sending it off with a Molotov bang, a brushstroke of burnt umber, and a head tilt sharp enough to open an envelope. In this episode, we allow you to escape the way only Oklahomans can—through a dumb, understaffed county jail and an open-door policy that would shock even the Kool-...

Send us Fan Mail This week, we go digging for the truth—and end up unearthing royalty, Rasputin, and a surprisingly efficient storage hack. First, a woman with no name—and plenty of scars—emerges from a German asylum claiming a past that might be tragic, imperial, or both. Then, a small-town sheriff learns the hard way that holiday spirit doesn’t mix well with foster system red tape. And finally,...

Send us Fan Mail This week, we go vertical. Zach and Stephanie scale the suspicious scaffolding of Unsolved Mysteries: The Netflix Reboot, kicking off with a case so absurd, it could’ve been sponsored by OtterBox and the Freemasons. We’re talking flip-flops, physics, and a suicide theory that collapses under the weight of basic physics. Plus: - ZSM Theatre returns with law enforcement dumbassery,...

Send us Fan Mail Get ready for an episode that jumps from haunted hilarity to heartbreaking mysteries faster than you can say “tweed jacket.” This week, we confront a killer who might’ve gone from the woods to the stage, investigate a family tragedy with more questions than answers, and share a reunion story that brings tears (and maybe a pistol or two). Plus, there’s a predator on the loose in Bu...

Send us Fan Mail We can already feel the summer heat rolling in like a freight train, so we thought it was the perfect time to crack open this frosty treat from our archives - a little holiday AC for your brain, if you will. Originally released in December of 2023, this episode is one of our funniest - filled with chaos, religious relics, Bill O'Reilly’s falafel fiasco, and more. It's an...

Send us Fan Mail This week on Zachsolved Mysteries, incompetence isn’t just a theme – it’s a through line. From real-life walk-ins to spiritual walk-outs, from third-person murder denials to to Zach somehow outsourcing his responsibilities mid-sentence, we’ve got the full spectrum. Join us as we spiral through a suspiciously well-staged death scene in Texas (starring an aggressively incompetent ma...

Send us Fan Mail This week, the mystery machine short-circuits in the best possible way. We chase memory gaps, muddled aliases, and missing mid-century mustaches in an episode that asks: what happens when even the backstories get confused? Unsolved Mysteries gives us amnesia, aliases, a small-town murder, and a woman who disappears more often than she shows up—but ZSM Theatre takes it from there,...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we ask the age-old question: is it unresolved trauma or just soul Pilates? Either way, we’re punching our way through some heavy stories—with trench coats, wild metaphors, and a few truly unhinged side quests to help us make it to the bell. First, Zach investigates the mysterious death of a heavyweight boxing icon whose fear of needles might be the most overlooked...

We’re diving wingtip-first into the turbulent and comic skies of MURDER ON FLIGHT 502. This flight might not offer peanuts, but it's packed with a cargo hold's worth of laughs, gasps, and vintage flair. In a film where...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we ask the big questions: What’s the going rate for a hit gone wrong? Is projectile saliva a legitimate healing tincture? And why does every reenactment look like it was shot on the set of a mid-tier soap opera? We dive into cases full of botched plans, baffling police work, and “red flags” that only exist in the minds of investigators who probably shouldn’t be al...

Send us Fan Mail Murder, mystery, and a shocking amount of self-reflection—this week, Zachsolved Mysteries takes on the I-70 Killer, a still-unidentified murderer who left a trail of bodies across the Midwest.  But before that, we explore eerie after-death visits, where the line between comforting spiritual encounters and terrifying ghostly visions gets very blurry. Then, we ask the important ques...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back, degenerates and overthinkers! Season 2 of Zachsolved Mysteries is here, and we’re starting off strong with questionable nautical choices, a war-era slush fund with zero insight, and a love story that’s as bizarre as it is unexpectedly sweet. We’re investigating the disappearance of a journalism student who set sail on a boat that, much like its captain, was not what...
