AMERICAN MYSTERY is a one-hour docuseries that explores the mysteries that have never been solved -- providing a deeper look into the stories and theories that surround them. Each 60-minute episode dives into the history of three different mysteries through interviews, archival footage and re-creation, as well as the theories behind each story and new facts and findings. What is the truth of what really happened? Opposing theories are presented, letting the viewer ponder which one they believe.

Subsequent episodes explore the mysteries behind: the fates of Amelia Earhart, D.B. Cooper and three prisoners who made a daring escape from Alcatraz; Charles Lindbergh's son, one of Hollywood's biggest murder mysteries, and threatening letters in a small Ohio town; and more.
