The Netflix reboot of Unsolved Mysteries brings back the show’s heady mix of tales of unexplained deaths, disappearances, and the occasional UFO story. The new series, which has been one of the service’s most popular shows since it started streaming on July 1, begins with an episode tied to the world of stock market newsletters.
Rey Rivera, an aspiring screenwriter, was working for a newsletter publisher in Baltimore. One day in May 2006, the then-32-year-old rushed out of his house after receiving a phone call from his office. About a week later his body was discovered in an annex of Baltimore’s Belvedere Hotel, below a hole in its roof. Rivera seemed to have plunged through, perhaps after falling from the building’s adjacent tower. Police at the time said it was probably a suicide, though they say they’ve made no official determination. Rivera’s family doubts he killed himself.
