I think this was probably my favorite show from the 80s. Robert Stack was an incredible host and they seemed to have no limits as to what they would cover. I remember you could see a bank robbery followed by a missing child followed by a story about Roswell, New Mexico. And that theme song...the best!
Just by chance, I found some amazing clips on YouTube. They really brought back the memories.

The "Roadside Ghost Mom" segment:
