I'm Rebecca Levoy, and this is You Can't Make This Up.

You Can't Make This Up is the podcast where we uncover the true stories behind your favorite Netflix documentaries and films.

On today's episode, we take an even closer look at the hit Netflix series through the eyes of the

directors of Unsolved Mysteries.

There's only so many times people can say the same story, the same sightings, the same creatures.

Eventually you're going to have to start believing in it.

Today we're talking to directors Robert M. Wise and Gabe Torres.

How do they bring unseen monsters and unknown murderers to life on the screen?

How do they get those interviews that no one else gets?

What's it like to tell the stories with only questions and no answers?

Today, we'll hear the stories behind the episodes in volume 4 of Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries.

Do the viewers know who might have killed a woman in a literal locked door mystery?

What happened at the bottom of a bloody staircase?

Is it too late to solve the case of Jack the Ripper?

And is that shadowy-winged figure in Chicago a supernatural creature?

These directors hope their stories can help crack an unsolved mystery.

If the word gets out enough, enough people share what they remember,

and that some detail that they were too hesitant to bring up gets brought to the police.

Yeah. Later in the episode, I'll be talking to director Gabe Torres, but we'll start our discussion with director Robert M. Wise.

Bob, welcome back to you Can't Make This Up.

Thank you. It's great to be back.

So you did two episodes of this volume four, and you lead off the volume with a look back at the Jack the Ripper case. So talk to you
