Wide range of popular mysteries investigated. This guy is pretty thorough and likeable. Very interesting but not always totally believable, such as when there is conveniently no camera footage of the supposed blood evidence in the motel room where the Black Dahlia May have been murdered. I would like to see some lesser known mysteries covered, such as the murder of actress Thelma Todd in 1932. Other cases like Jack the Ripper can be investigated forever but with the passage of time can never be solved conclusively. Fun show anyway.

My Search For Answers That Don't Want To Be Found....Heck Yeah!

Mission Declassified is a series investigating a range of crimes and criminals - these living on past a normal shelf life due to the impact and unsolved nature of the cases and criminals involved. The show is hosted by Christof Putzel who, by birth, an investigative reporter having both parents and his grandfather as role models. Besides pedigree Putzel is a very affable and accessible host, even cute and cuddly according to some females (lol).
The show is getting off to a fine first season. Unlike so many shows with so little meat on the bone and empty promises to solving mysteries this show delivers more even when it just can not quite solve cases. In other words you'll usually learn some very interesting facts that may lead to a logical conclusion if not one that would stand up in a court of law. Yes, I like Putzel's style and his methods. I often thing while watching that this is what I'd do if I were in his position which is infinitely more satisfying than the endless questions and shaky proof of so many investigative mystery/treasure shows.
Travel Channel has a winner here. The first seasons topics seem to have been picked with great care and personal interest from an excellent host. The production never panders to those infinite add-on questions (think Oak Island, Hitler, and Zodiac Shows) and does present some very solid facts which are downright interesting. As such, I highly recommend this show and hope as topics expand, possibly into some the host ins't as intrigued by, that the show can keep the zeitgeist it certainly seems to have in this first season.

Great, but needs fresh topics.

I watched a few episodes and googled things...

Warning: Spoilers
...what I discovered is THEY AREN'T INVESTIGATING ANYTHING! They're taking credit for work others have done already. A prime example was the Black Dahlia episode.
They go through this song and dance and even switch suspects! The only problem is Dr Hodels OWN SON has written books outing his father. They haven't discovered anything ground breaking here. They're simply stealing others work! While not giving credit to the real people investigating things and instead acting like their host is discovering all this stuff cold, by himself.
You're going to get DNA in every room in every hotel in the world! Was one of the laughable things he "discovered" in the Dahlia episode. YOU could do the amount of investigating yourself, by taking a subject, and googling!
