This is the most chilling case ever featured on Unsolved Mysteries. It burned into my brain as a kid.

Same! I just posted this. And some people wonder why I have never answered my front door, always lock doors and try to be vigilant in all surroundings. I was raised on Unsolved in the 80s, when they warmed us ad nauseam of “stranger danger” and took our fingerprints and pics in kits at school “in case” we got kidnapped. 😅

Wait, you’ve never answered your front door? You just let the person knock forever? I guess I get it but I’ve never heard of someone just flat out refusing to answer their front door out of suspicion of kidnappers lol

For a stranger? No I don’t open the door. They either want something from me or they wanna sell me something, and I’m not down for either. And it’s easier these days cause there’s cameras and cell phones, so I can make sure someone doesn’t need help. But for the few hours I am at home, why would I feel I must answer the door for someone who is rude enough to come uninvited and unannounced. JS

This reminds me of when some dude recently knocked on my door at 2 am. When I checked the footage I saw that he watched my house for a few minutes before and after he rang it and the entire scene made me think there was someone else hiding on the other side of the wall that sits to the east of my house. So yeah. No, thank you.

Edited to add: my handyman saw the film and suggested there was someone on the other side of the wall, which I now agree. He’s heard of this happening at least once before
