2 Decades Old Cold Cases SOLVED in 2026

Merc True Crime usually brings in around 7,000 views a day. This week, with nothing new posted, it ran closer to 4,500, and the subscriber count did not move from just under 400,000.

The video doing the most work is a two-week-old episode, "2 Decades Old Cold Cases SOLVED in 2026." It covers two cases, Sarah Ann Geer's and Laura Ann Aime's, each one unsolved for twenty years or more before it was closed. Behind it sits a longer episode from early September, "3 Cold Cases That Finally Got a Breakthrough In 2026," on Joni Marie Grigsby, Ronna Bremer and Lisa Marie McBride. Its description credits DNA evidence and renewed investigations with moving cases forward long after the trail had seemed to end.

A third episode, "2 Lesser Known Disappearances," turns to the stories of Lisa Marie Young and Ruth Wilson, two young women whose final known movements still leave questions open. Taken together, the shelf shows what the channel is built around: cases that waited years for an answer, and some that are still waiting.

Others in true crime were far busier. Law&Crime Investigates and Solved Files both ran at roughly double their usual daily pace, and Scarcity Studios was well above its own. For Merc, it was a week of older episodes quietly finding viewers.
