Reviews[edit]
'MysteryQuest delivers on its promise to attempt to unlock new answers to unsolved mysteries.' ~ Season one DVD review, Zach Freeman, TV Rage

Notable case findings[edit]
The episode titled 'Hitler's Escape' made news after the forensic exam performed by Nick Bellantoni and DNA testing by Linda Strausbaugh, Craig O'Connor, and Heather Nelson concluded that the skull that the Russian government possesses and purports to be Adolf Hitler's is actually from a woman between 20 and 40 years of age.[3][4][5][6][7]
