Reply to comment by inStLagain in TIL that when Unsolved Mysteries aired a segment on missing child Nyleen Marshall, they were contacted by a man who thought he might have gone to school with Nyleen. This turned out not to be Nyleen, but a different missing child, Monica Bonilla, who had been abducted by her noncustodial parent. by TychaBrahe

Wasnt this the most watched show at the time? If anything its overlooked today. Sadly helpful wise I recall, much like restaurant rescue shows, the ratio of actual solved cases is a tiny percentage, and unsolved mysteries arguably could create more fear in the public about things like child abductions than in reality.

Coming from an obsessed fan of the show as a kid myself :)
