In this episode of Compact Mysteries, we explore the strange case of Brushy Bill Roberts, the elderly Texan who claimed to be Billy the Kid. Was he really the outlaw who was supposedly shot dead by Pat Garrett in 1881, or was he an old man caught up in one of the American West's most enduring legends? We look at the claim, the evidence, the scepticism, and why this curious mystery still refuses to disappear.

In this episode of Compact Mysteries, we explore one of the strangest unsolved media incidents of the twentieth century. On 22 November 1987, viewers in Chicago watched in disbelief as the signals of WGN and WTTW were interrupted by a masked figure dressed as Max Headroom, delivering a surreal pirate broadcast that has never been fully explained. We look at what happened, how the hijack may have been carried out, why investigators never publicly solved it, and how a brief act of television trespass became a lasting piece of modern folklore.

In this episode of Compact Mysteries, we explore the disappearance of the Beaumont Children, one of Australia's most haunting unsolved cases. On Australia Day 1966, Jane, Arnna, and Grant Beaumont vanished after a trip to Glenelg Beach in South Australia, setting off a search that gripped the nation and left decades of questions behind. We look at the timeline, the witness sightings, the suspects, and the reason this case still lingers so powerfully in public memory.
