Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries series has shot straight to the top of the streaming service’s UK chart - and it is no surprise.
The six cases that the programme investigates are truly gripping - and they’ve left viewers scratching their heads over what really happened.
The episodes follow normal families that have lived the unthinkable - from the trauma of a loved one’s unexplained disappearance or horrific death, to the shock of a bizarre paranormal encounter.
Alongside detectives and journalists, family members offer clues, present theories, and identify suspects, hoping someone watching will be the key to solving the mystery.
At the end of each episode viewers are urged to contact the programme if they have any information to help crack the cases.
While it is unknown whether anyone has come forward as yet, there are plenty who have their own theories about what happened in each of the six cases currently available.
Six more episodes are due to drop at a later date.
Here’s what you can expect from the first six…
Mystery on the Rooftop
(Image: Netflix)
This episode investigates the 2006 death of Rey Rivera.
The 32-year-old newlywed appeared to have everything to live for - until one day he rushed out of his home and was never seen alive again.
When his body is discovered, having apparently fallen from the roof of the Belvedere Hotel in Baltimore, authorities believe he committed suicide.
A 'suicide note' was found which suggested Rey had links to the Masons, but some believe that this could have been written in code.
But his injuries suggest otherwise, and items of his - glasses and a mobile phone - are unharmed despite the fall.
Meanwhile. the placement of his body - which fell through the roof of the hotel’s annex - does not seem feasible.
13 Minutes
This is how long it took for Patrice Endres to vanish from the salon she worked, seemingly off the face of the earth, leaving no witnesses behind.
Police found that money had been taken from a safe and Patrice’s lunch had been left out uneaten, but there was no other evidence of a break-in or a struggle.
On December 6, 2005 - exactly 600 days later - her remains are found behind Lebanon Baptist Church in Dawson County.
There are currently no suspects for her death - but viewers are concerned about the behaviour of one particular member of Patrice’s family.
House of Terror
Almost an entire family slain in their home and buried under the patio by a French aristocrat, who then apparently commits suicide.
But many are convinced that Count Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès is still alive.
Xavier - a descendant of French royalty - is the prime suspect in the killings of his children Arthur, Anne, Benoît, and wife Agnès, who died between April 3 and 5 in 2011, with Xavier's oldest biological son and heir, Thomas, killed shortly afterwards.
No Ride Home
This episode is about the 2004 death of Alonzo Brooks.
Described as 'everyone's friend' and a family man, Alonzo vanished after going to a keg party with his mates at a farmhouse in the rural town of LaCygne, Kansas, about 45 miles away from his home.
His body was found a month later when his family organised their own search - in the same place that the local sheriff had already combed.
And there are signs he was kept in a freezer between his death and being discovered.
Was it a hate crime? Why does no-one want to talk about it?
Berkshires UFO
Whether you believe in UFOs or not, it's hard not to be fascinated by apparent extra-terrestrial sightings.
This episode looks into The Berkshires UFO sightings from 1969 and what happened to the four people who claimed they saw aliens more than 50 years ago.
Residents of Berkshire County, in Massachusetts, recall their baffling and terrifying experiences with the unidentified flying object, spotted on September 1, 1969.
The four people affected by their experience are Tommy Warner and his childminder Debbie, Melanie Kirchdorfer, 14, Thomas Reed, six, and Jane Green, who all lived in different parts of town.
They each claim that a ray of light picked them up and moved them.
Missing Witness
The final instalment of Unsolved Mysteries follows the tragic events surrounding the disappearance of Gary McCullough and Lena Chaplain.
It is suggested that Gary found out that his wife Sandy was having an affair with a man called Kristopher Klemp, and was planning to leave her.
But on May 11, 1999, he went missing.
Less than a week later, Klemp moved into Gary’s home.
The investigators asked Sandy to do a polygraph, to which she replied: “Find a body and I’ll do a polygraph”.
Sandy’s daughter Lena Chaplain seems to have some significant information - but then she too disappears.
Unsolved Mysteries is available to stream on Netflix now.

'Blatant thief' with an unhygienic hiding place

A 'blatant thief' who robbed a shop worker tried to stuff stolen jewellery up his bottom while in a police van.
He stole hundreds of pounds worth of items from shops in Harpurhey town centre while he was banned from the area.
Manchester Crown Court heard the shoplifting spree took place in November and December last year.
Gregory, who the court heard has 'learning difficulties' and was said to be intoxicated when he offended, stole £75 of vodka from Asda, £824 of beauty products from Lloyds pharmacy, clothes worth £300 from Select, a further £150 of alcohol from Asda, jumpers worth £200 from Select, and two toothbrushes from Lloyds worth almost £22.
The 'unsophisticated' thefts committed by Gregory, described by one security guard as a 'blatant thief', were committed while a five year criminal behaviour order was in force.
Then in March, when police were called to his home in Harpurhey to reports of a disturbance, Gregory kicked one officer and spat at two other officers, whose uniforms were soiled.
The incident occurred before the lockdown, but prosecutor Alistair Reid told how the officers were 'particularly concerned' about the spitting.
The day after he appeared before magistrates in relation to his previous offences, Gregory was on Rochdale Road in Harpurhey at about 6.30pm on March 20 -where a woman was closing a shop for the day - and asked about the price of sweets.
She had £530 in takings from the day in a bag, along with other items including an iPad and jewellery.
Gregory grabbed the bag, pushed her and hit her, fleeing after a struggle.
Police later found him and chased him on foot.
In the back of the police van he tried to conceal the stolen jewellery intimately. Following a strip search at the police station, officers found a silver chain, a gold chain, a ring and a gold earring in his underwear.
Gregory, of Cardale Walk, Harpurhey, pleaded guilty to robbery, six counts of theft, breaching a criminal behaviour order, breaching a community order and three counts of assaulting an emergency worker. He was jailed for two-and-a-half years.

"It was like an an angel p****ng on the tip of me tongue", says Jimmy.
The regular at The Shiredale in Harpurhey has just come off a night shift laying tarmac on the roads.
He had a quick shower after work before heading straight to the pub for 10am to taste his favourite beer on draft.
It's been a long three months for Jimmy, while the pubs have been closed.
The Shiredale, on Fernclough Road, is one of many venues across the region allowed to reopen today with social distancing measures.
Staff have been busy rearranging the boozer to make sure it complies with new safety requirements.

Customers must give their names, numbers and addresses at the door, there's a one way system marked on the floor, and it's table service only.
Landlord John Malone says making the pub Covid-safe has taken a lot of effort and money.

They had to pour away 27 barrels of beer when the pub closed at the end of March, they have lost a lot of revenue, and they've had to employ more staff for the reopening.
If they didn't open now, they would have had to close for good next month.
"It's been a bit nerve-racking really because we don't know what to expect, we don't know how customers are going to react.
"It's been hard work, very hard work, very stressful. The amount of dos and don'ts, it's a lot to follow.

"At the moment it's not too bad but everyone is sober. All the lads when they've had a few, their attitude changes. When they've had their whisky, asking them to keep the volume down will be tough."
Paul Costa is sitting at the window with his pint of Boddingtons.
The 68-year-old says it tastes 'magic'.

"I feel great cos it's been a long time. It's been nearly four months and it's great to see your local and have a pint of the old Boddys."
He says it's 'a bit strange' being back with the new rules.
Over at The Vine in Collyhurst and cleaner Diane Hurst is feeling emotional.

Behind her, customers are having their temperatures checked as they walk in.
"It's very important [that it's opening for the community]," she said.
"There are a lot of old people in the area that have come out to see what has been happening here. They said 'I can't wait to go out, I've not been out for 12 weeks'.
"So today they are hoping to come in, even though they don't drink, coffee and tea for the old people. It's open to everybody."

Bars and restaurants across Manchester have reopened for the first time since March today.
Nights out now look very different to pre-lockdown, with reduced capacities, new perspex screens, thermal imaging technology on the door and staff wearing face visors at many establishments.
Nowhere are the differences more obvious than in the Northern Quarter, which has undergone dramatic infrastructure changes in time for the reopening of hospitality.
Large parts of this lively corner of the city are now closed to road traffic - Stevenson Square, Edge Street, and Thomas Street have been pedestrianised, and parking spaces and bus lanes turned into al fresco restaurant terraces.
It's a positive move for the businesses who call these streets home, as they're now able to spread themselves out to new pop-up beer gardens and welcome more customers.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-04--Manchester United address Mason Greenwood comparison with Ronaldo and Rooney

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reiterated Manchester United sensation Mason Greenwood is the best finisher he has seen at the age of 18 .
Greenwood twice scored brilliantly in United 's 5-2 thrashing of Bournemouth to take his tally for the season to 15 - nearly three times as many goals as Cristiano Ronaldo managed in his first season with United in 2003-04 .
Wayne Rooney netted 17 times in his maiden United campaign and Greenwood has at least seven matches to break the 20-goal barrier .
Rooney arrived at United at the age of 18 but turned 19 just after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is not 19 until October .
`` No , I don ’ t think I have , '' Solskjaer said when asked if he had come across a more accomplished finisher at 18 .
`` I have seen Wayne Rooney at the same age and Mason is a specialist finisher and specialist goalscorer .
He knows exactly what to do with the ball when he ’ s on the pitch .

Solskjaer was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Greenwood and Rooney or Ronaldo , though .
`` I don ’ t want to compare to Wazza or Ronaldo , I don ’ t think that ’ s fair .
The boy will create his own career doing it his own way I ’ m sure Mason will have a fantastic career as well .
`` We will always come back to his finishing because the goals were exceptional , the timings of them [ against Bournemouth ] were great for us .
But his general overall play is improving , his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his position is improving more and more and I 'm delighted with the goals .
`` Right foot , left foot , now it 's about getting headers in . ''
United recorded their first five-goal performance at Old Trafford in a domestic fixture for the first time since Boxing Day in 2011 to move up to fourth for at least five hours .
Solskjaer 's side are unbeaten in 16 now and four of their last five fixtures are against bottom-half teams .
`` You can see when they go out on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' Solskjaer added .
`` They want the ball , they want to create chances , we created chances , the energy of the team is fantastic .
`` That performance in front of fans would be six or seven goals , definitely , because our fans give us extra energy , and too bad they were n't here today . ''
