Netflix is Unsolved Mysteries combines two of their reigning specialties: true crime and restarted. The 2020 refurbishment of the iconic TELEVISION program begins with a chilling cold case that’s equal parts tragic and peculiar. The May 16, 2006, 32-year-old residents of Baltimore Rey Rivera disappeared out of the blue. He had a new chance at life — a beautiful wedding to his wife Allison and a stable work with your friend Porter Stansberry. His disappearance struck the family and friends as well as strangers.
On the day of Rivera’s disappearance, his wife, Allison, had gone on a business trip. When she called in the night, he didn’t pick up. Allison rang Claudia, a colleague who was staying in his house. Claudia said that Rivera had left in a hurry after a night telephone conversation. The next morning, Claudia said Rivera had not yet returned. Allison went home immediately.
Rivera family searched tirelessly for him. That, finally, he found his car in a parking lot near the Hotel Belvedere. Eight days after he disappeared, Rivera, co-workers noticed flip-flops for a small hole in the underside of the roof the Belvedere Hotel.

The police will not look further into the case, and the medical examiner did not determine cause of death.
