00:00:04,172 --> 00:00:07,408
ANNOUNCER: This program is
about unsolved mysteries.
2
00:00:07,508 --> 00:00:09,410
Whenever possible, the
actual family members
3
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:11,379
and police officials
have participated
4
00:00:11,479 --> 00:00:13,013
in recreating the events.
5
00:00:13,114 --> 00:00:15,316
What you are about to see
is not a news broadcast.

00:00:20,654 --> 00:00:23,391
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
January 27, 1973,
7
00:00:23,491 --> 00:00:25,293
the signing of the
Paris Peace Accords
8
00:00:25,393 --> 00:00:28,696
marked the end of American
involvement in Vietnam.
9
00:00:28,796 --> 00:00:31,399
Just one week later,
an Air Force spy plane
10
00:00:31,499 --> 00:00:33,634
monitoring North
Vietnamese tank movements
11
00:00:33,734 --> 00:00:36,604
encountered heavy ground fire,
and crashed in the jungle
12
00:00:36,704 --> 00:00:38,939
with all hands on board.
13
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:40,574
Today, the families
of two crewmen
14
00:00:40,674 --> 00:00:44,011
believe their sons did not die,
and that the end of the story
15
00:00:44,112 --> 00:00:46,880
has not yet been written.
16
00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:50,584
Paul Stamper was an energetic,
successful, young businessman.
17
00:00:50,684 --> 00:00:52,186
But when his wife
walked out on him,
18
00:00:52,286 --> 00:00:54,788
Stamper targeted her
in a vengeful campaign
19
00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:57,958
of abuse and violence.
20
00:00:58,058 --> 00:01:00,661
Meet Josephine White,
a human chameleon,
21
00:01:00,761 --> 00:01:04,031
a charming con artist, a
master of the pigeon drop.
22
00:01:04,132 --> 00:01:06,300
For years, she has
preyed on elderly victims
23
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,870
to the tune of more
than $1 million.
24
00:01:09,970 --> 00:01:12,473
We'll also bring you the
touching update of a woman
25
00:01:12,573 --> 00:01:14,275
who spent more than
40 years searching
26
00:01:14,375 --> 00:01:17,278
for her long lost twin sister.
27
00:01:17,378 --> 00:01:21,649
Join me for another edition
of "Unsolved Mysteries."
28
00:01:21,749 --> 00:01:24,118
[theme music]
29
00:02:13,267 --> 00:02:14,868
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
18 years ago, families
30
00:02:14,968 --> 00:02:17,538
across the country were
rejoicing as their husbands
31
00:02:17,638 --> 00:02:20,107
and sons began coming home
from the distant jungles
32
00:02:20,208 --> 00:02:22,142
of Southeast Asia.
33
00:02:22,243 --> 00:02:26,414
On January 27, 1973,
the Paris Peace Accords
34
00:02:26,514 --> 00:02:28,516
had been formally ratified.
35
00:02:28,616 --> 00:02:31,885
There would be no more American
involvement in Vietnam.
36
00:02:31,985 --> 00:02:34,822
But for some families,
the war would never end.
37
00:02:40,194 --> 00:02:42,296
While other soldiers
still stationed overseas
38
00:02:42,396 --> 00:02:44,932
were writing joyful letters
to their wives and girlfriends
39
00:02:45,032 --> 00:02:47,868
back home, Air Force
Sergeant Peter Cressman
40
00:02:47,968 --> 00:02:51,739
was writing to his congressman.
41
00:02:51,839 --> 00:02:55,142
SGT CRESSMAN (VOICEOVER):
Dear sir, on January 27th,
42
00:02:55,243 --> 00:02:57,611
I read the headlines which
hailed the peace with honor
43
00:02:57,711 --> 00:03:00,314
agreement, only to
wake the next morning
44
00:03:00,414 --> 00:03:03,484
to find my situation the
same as the day before,
45
00:03:03,584 --> 00:03:07,388
as though nothing had
changed in Southeast Asia.
46
00:03:07,488 --> 00:03:09,790
Feeling that I must have
missed some of the small print
47
00:03:09,890 --> 00:03:11,892
of the agreement,
I again read it
48
00:03:11,992 --> 00:03:13,794
and found that I had
not overlooked anything
49
00:03:13,894 --> 00:03:16,464
that was on the printed page.
50
00:03:16,564 --> 00:03:19,199
It was then that I realized
that I and others in my unit
51
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:21,635
were in violation of the
agreement, which I consider
52
00:03:21,735 --> 00:03:23,737
to be in order from
the commander-in-chief
53
00:03:23,837 --> 00:03:27,475
of the armed forces
of the United States.
54
00:03:27,575 --> 00:03:29,109
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Sergeant Peter Cressman
55
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:30,544
was the youngest
of three brothers
56
00:03:30,644 --> 00:03:33,381
to serve during the
Vietnam conflict.
57
00:03:33,481 --> 00:03:36,384
He was an electronics expert who
flew top secret reconnaissance
58
00:03:36,484 --> 00:03:37,585
missions.
59
00:03:37,685 --> 00:03:40,087
Every day since the
ceasefire, his squadron
60
00:03:40,187 --> 00:03:44,758
had continued to operate
as if nothing had changed.
61
00:03:44,858 --> 00:03:46,694
Last night, an NKP
mission picked up
62
00:03:46,794 --> 00:03:48,662
some short
transmissions at 4130.
63
00:03:48,762 --> 00:03:50,230
SGT CRESSMAN (VOICEOVER):
I went to seek advice
64
00:03:50,331 --> 00:03:52,700
at the base legal office.
65
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,868
There I was informed
of the consequences
66
00:03:54,968 --> 00:03:58,138
for refusing to carry out the
orders, which I consider to be
67
00:03:58,238 --> 00:04:00,941
illegal as well as immoral.
68
00:04:01,041 --> 00:04:02,476
These consequences
instilled in me
69
00:04:02,576 --> 00:04:04,278
a fear which has
caused me to abandon
70
00:04:04,378 --> 00:04:09,049
any thoughts of refusing to
obey these illegal orders.
71
00:04:09,149 --> 00:04:10,984
There any questions?
72
00:04:11,084 --> 00:04:11,885
OK, good luck.
73
00:04:18,826 --> 00:04:21,028
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
On February 4, 1973,
74
00:04:21,128 --> 00:04:24,465
one week after the ceasefire,
Peter Cressman and seven
75
00:04:24,565 --> 00:04:27,668
other men boarded an
EC47Q surveillance
76
00:04:27,768 --> 00:04:30,504
plane, codenamed Baron 52.
77
00:04:30,604 --> 00:04:32,973
[radio chatter]
78
00:04:37,044 --> 00:04:39,079
1510.
79
00:04:39,179 --> 00:04:42,950
1510, Check. .
80
00:04:43,050 --> 00:04:44,318
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
The electronics
81
00:04:44,418 --> 00:04:46,820
experts, Cressman among
them, were situated
82
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,689
in the rear of the plane.
83
00:04:48,789 --> 00:04:50,824
1490?
84
00:04:50,924 --> 00:04:55,563
1490, check.
85
00:04:55,663 --> 00:04:57,598
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The
flight plan called for Baron 52
86
00:04:57,698 --> 00:05:00,267
to proceed from Ubon Air
Force Base in Thailand
87
00:05:00,368 --> 00:05:02,370
into Laos, a neutral
country which
88
00:05:02,470 --> 00:05:05,072
borders Vietnam and Cambodia.
89
00:05:05,172 --> 00:05:06,840
The assignment was
to monitor a column
90
00:05:06,940 --> 00:05:09,977
of North Vietnamese tanks
which were moving into Cambodia
91
00:05:10,077 --> 00:05:11,645
along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
92
00:05:17,084 --> 00:05:20,754
At 11:05 PM, Baron 52 departed.
93
00:05:20,854 --> 00:05:24,057
2 and 1/2 hours later, reports
came in that the plane was
94
00:05:24,157 --> 00:05:26,360
receiving heavy ground fire.
95
00:05:26,460 --> 00:05:29,630
Five minutes later, radio
transmissions ceased.
96
00:05:34,167 --> 00:05:36,537
Two days later, the
wreckage of Baron 52
97
00:05:36,637 --> 00:05:39,640
was located in the
jungle deep inside Laos.
98
00:05:39,740 --> 00:05:43,210
A rescue team recovered the
remains of only the copilot.
99
00:05:43,310 --> 00:05:45,646
Declared missing in
action were Peter Cressman
100
00:05:45,746 --> 00:05:48,181
and six other men,
three officers
101
00:05:48,281 --> 00:05:50,317
and three electronics
experts, including
102
00:05:50,418 --> 00:05:53,387
21-year-old Joseph Matejov.
103
00:05:53,487 --> 00:05:56,289
While Matejov's
father died in 1984,
104
00:05:56,390 --> 00:06:01,128
his mother vividly
remembers every detail.
105
00:06:01,228 --> 00:06:03,764
Two military men, an
officer and a sergeant,
106
00:06:03,864 --> 00:06:07,801
came to the home to inform me
that Joe was missing in action,
107
00:06:07,901 --> 00:06:10,070
that his plane had
been shot down,
108
00:06:10,170 --> 00:06:12,305
but there was a possibility
that some of the men
109
00:06:12,406 --> 00:06:14,174
may have bailed
out of the plane.
110
00:06:14,274 --> 00:06:16,209
I felt a little
feeling of relief
111
00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:18,512
because he was missing
and not killed.
112
00:06:18,612 --> 00:06:20,748
I thought there was some chance
that I might see him again.
113
00:06:26,587 --> 00:06:29,056
It was 18 days later
that they returned
114
00:06:29,156 --> 00:06:30,758
and they informed us
that none of the men
115
00:06:30,858 --> 00:06:32,392
had gotten out of the plane.
116
00:06:32,493 --> 00:06:33,360
There was no way.
117
00:06:33,461 --> 00:06:35,062
They were not
wearing parachutes.
118
00:06:35,162 --> 00:06:37,998
the plane went down into
a spin and none of the men
119
00:06:38,098 --> 00:06:39,132
could possibly get out.
120
00:06:42,302 --> 00:06:45,506
So they declared them
all killed in action.
121
00:06:45,606 --> 00:06:48,341
They said that they did
see remains in the plane,
122
00:06:48,442 --> 00:06:51,011
the plane had been burned.
123
00:06:51,111 --> 00:06:53,213
So we believed 'em.
124
00:06:53,313 --> 00:06:54,848
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Peter Cressman's mother
125
00:06:54,948 --> 00:06:56,817
had also received
word that her son's
126
00:06:56,917 --> 00:06:58,719
status had been
changed from missing
127
00:06:58,819 --> 00:07:00,988
in action to killed in action.
128
00:07:01,088 --> 00:07:05,425
If my government said that he
had been killed, that they all
129
00:07:05,526 --> 00:07:07,027
had perished in
the crash, then it
130
00:07:07,127 --> 00:07:11,264
had to be true, because they
wouldn't go around and tell
131
00:07:11,364 --> 00:07:15,903
a family that this had happened
unless they had positive proof.
132
00:07:19,873 --> 00:07:21,108
OK
133
00:07:21,208 --> 00:07:22,409
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Several weeks
134
00:07:22,510 --> 00:07:23,744
later, the Air Force
forwarded Peter
135
00:07:23,844 --> 00:07:26,914
craftsman's Cressman's personal
belongings to his parents.
136
00:07:27,014 --> 00:07:28,849
They found the letter
he had written but never
137
00:07:28,949 --> 00:07:32,920
mailed to his congressman.
138
00:07:33,020 --> 00:07:37,591
Peter's father passed away in
1989, but he and his other sons
139
00:07:37,691 --> 00:07:41,762
had always questioned the status
change from missing to killed.
140
00:07:41,862 --> 00:07:47,234
The letter only served to
heighten their suspicions.
141
00:07:47,334 --> 00:07:50,904
They were declaring him
dead, but there was no body.
142
00:07:51,004 --> 00:07:53,741
And we understand
that bodies can
143
00:07:53,841 --> 00:07:57,978
burn up or disappear in
combat, but in this case,
144
00:07:58,078 --> 00:07:59,179
there was just nothing.
145
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:03,416
And because of the
classification of the missions,
146
00:08:03,517 --> 00:08:05,653
they never had anything
to back up their position.
147
00:08:05,753 --> 00:08:08,889
According to this,
rescue team found one body
148
00:08:08,989 --> 00:08:10,490
and there were no
parachutes in the plane.
149
00:08:10,591 --> 00:08:12,492
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
For five frustrating years,
150
00:08:12,593 --> 00:08:14,828
the Cressmans wrote various
Air Force officials,
151
00:08:14,928 --> 00:08:17,565
seeking specific details
about Peter's case .
152
00:08:22,135 --> 00:08:24,672
The Air Force response
remained consistent.
153
00:08:24,772 --> 00:08:26,607
Based on the condition
of the wreckage
154
00:08:26,707 --> 00:08:28,642
and the lack of a
distress call, there
155
00:08:28,742 --> 00:08:32,613
was simply not enough time for
the flight crew to bail out.
156
00:08:32,713 --> 00:08:35,315
The official report
concluded that all members
157
00:08:35,415 --> 00:08:38,451
of the crew of Baron 52
were killed in the crash.
158
00:08:41,188 --> 00:08:43,924
[phone ringing]
159
00:08:44,024 --> 00:08:45,258
Hello?
160
00:08:45,358 --> 00:08:47,194
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Then, in June of 1978,
161
00:08:47,294 --> 00:08:49,329
the Cressmans received
a surprising phone
162
00:08:49,429 --> 00:08:54,534
call from an attorney with
the National MIA Organization.
163
00:08:54,635 --> 00:08:57,037
He said I really don't know
how to tell you people this.
164
00:08:57,137 --> 00:09:00,373
You're the first
family I've contacted.
165
00:09:00,473 --> 00:09:04,544
But there is evidence that
I've seen that indicates
166
00:09:04,645 --> 00:09:09,149
that at least four of the people
on your brother's aircraft
167
00:09:09,249 --> 00:09:11,619
not only survived the
incident but were captured
168
00:09:11,719 --> 00:09:12,986
by North Vietnamese forces.
169
00:09:16,624 --> 00:09:17,858
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): The attorney
170
00:09:17,958 --> 00:09:20,628
had learned of a report by
investigative journalist Jack
171
00:09:20,728 --> 00:09:21,929
Anderson.
172
00:09:22,029 --> 00:09:24,798
Anderson claimed that
US military intelligence
173
00:09:24,898 --> 00:09:28,035
intercepted a North
Vietnamese communique shortly
174
00:09:28,135 --> 00:09:30,103
after Baron 52 went down.
175
00:09:33,506 --> 00:09:36,376
In 1973, Terrell
Minarcin was an air
176
00:09:36,476 --> 00:09:39,847
defense analyst for the
National Security Agency.
177
00:09:39,947 --> 00:09:42,215
His job was to
decipher intercepted
178
00:09:42,315 --> 00:09:45,418
North Vietnamese messages.
179
00:09:45,518 --> 00:09:49,422
We saw a specific North
Vietnamese communique
180
00:09:49,522 --> 00:09:52,793
requesting transportation
for captured American bandit
181
00:09:52,893 --> 00:09:54,361
pilots.
182
00:09:54,461 --> 00:09:58,832
We felt at the time that
these messages were seen,
183
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:00,600
that based on the
logistics, based
184
00:10:00,701 --> 00:10:06,807
on the lack of American
activity due to the ceasefire,
185
00:10:06,907 --> 00:10:10,577
that the only personnel who
could have been captured
186
00:10:10,678 --> 00:10:11,979
were the ones from Baron 52.
187
00:10:16,549 --> 00:10:18,485
There was a good probability
some of the crew members
188
00:10:18,585 --> 00:10:19,386
had survived.
189
00:10:19,486 --> 00:10:21,321
Parachutes were missing.
190
00:10:21,421 --> 00:10:23,456
So they probably parachuted out.
191
00:10:23,556 --> 00:10:26,459
And we knew that they had
been captured, that they were
192
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,728
already in the hands
of the Vietnamese
193
00:10:27,828 --> 00:10:29,029
and into the prison system.
194
00:10:32,165 --> 00:10:36,670
My husband, a military man,
a career military man, we
195
00:10:36,770 --> 00:10:40,774
were certainly dedicated
to serving our country.
196
00:10:40,874 --> 00:10:42,109
So it was hard
for us to believe.
197
00:10:42,209 --> 00:10:45,412
I telephoned my husband at work,
and I told him what I heard,
198
00:10:45,512 --> 00:10:47,981
and he immediately said that we
would have to make arrangements
199
00:10:48,081 --> 00:10:51,018
to go to the Pentagon
to pull Joe's file out
200
00:10:51,118 --> 00:10:56,523
and to study it ourselves to see
just what had really happened.
201
00:10:56,623 --> 00:10:59,192
Mr. and Mrs. Matejov, I
have these two files for you.
202
00:10:59,292 --> 00:11:00,293
Thank you.
203
00:11:00,393 --> 00:11:01,528
I'll be back in a half
hour to pick 'em up.
204
00:11:01,628 --> 00:11:02,429
Thank you very much.
205
00:11:02,529 --> 00:11:04,732
Thank you.
206
00:11:04,832 --> 00:11:07,935
When we went to the Pentagon,
they showed us Joe's file.
207
00:11:08,035 --> 00:11:09,636
They brought us
into a little room
208
00:11:09,737 --> 00:11:11,104
where we could sit
together and study it.
209
00:11:16,810 --> 00:11:19,913
And there in the file were
copies of the radio intercepts.
210
00:11:20,013 --> 00:11:21,514
Much of them were blacked out.
211
00:11:21,614 --> 00:11:23,751
There was very little
that we could read.
212
00:11:23,851 --> 00:11:25,919
But we saw enough
evidence in his file
213
00:11:26,019 --> 00:11:28,789
to show that the government
knew all along that these four
214
00:11:28,889 --> 00:11:29,790
men had been captured.
215
00:11:32,592 --> 00:11:35,863
My husband didn't
want to be bitter,
216
00:11:35,963 --> 00:11:38,966
but it was beginning to
hurt him more and more.
217
00:11:39,066 --> 00:11:42,402
I would hear him at night
when he thought I was asleep,
218
00:11:42,502 --> 00:11:45,338
and I could hear
him sometimes cry.
219
00:11:45,438 --> 00:11:47,775
And he would mutter "Joe."
220
00:11:47,875 --> 00:11:51,879
I'd hear him talking out loud
when he thought I was asleep.
221
00:11:51,979 --> 00:11:53,781
No, it never got
off of his mind.
222
00:11:53,881 --> 00:11:56,616
He was very much hurt
by the whole issue.
223
00:11:59,586 --> 00:12:01,388
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The
Defense Intelligence Agency
224
00:12:01,488 --> 00:12:05,192
does not deny the existence of
a North Vietnamese communique.
225
00:12:05,292 --> 00:12:07,460
However, the DIA
claims the nationality
226
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:10,330
of the captured pilots
was never specified.
227
00:12:10,430 --> 00:12:12,499
Consequently, they
determined that the prisoners
228
00:12:12,599 --> 00:12:14,634
were not the crew
members of the Baron 52.
229
00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:21,608
Then, in 1986, Jerry Mooney, a
retired intelligence analyst,
230
00:12:21,708 --> 00:12:24,044
testified before Congress
that Peter cressman
231
00:12:24,144 --> 00:12:27,247
and Joseph Matejov were
prisoners of war, but not
232
00:12:27,347 --> 00:12:29,116
in Southeast Asia.
233
00:12:29,216 --> 00:12:31,551
Incredibly, he claimed
they had been transported
234
00:12:31,651 --> 00:12:34,454
to the Soviet Union.
235
00:12:34,554 --> 00:12:37,424
Terrell Minarcin agrees
that the men could have
236
00:12:37,524 --> 00:12:40,260
been transported to the USSR.
237
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,130
Special types of
prisoners, prisoners
238
00:12:43,230 --> 00:12:47,700
with special knowledge,
special experience,
239
00:12:47,801 --> 00:12:51,404
were being rounded up throughout
the various prison of war camps
240
00:12:51,504 --> 00:12:52,806
throughout North
Vietnam and sent
241
00:12:52,906 --> 00:12:57,310
to Hanoi to be turned over to
the Russians for exploitation.
242
00:12:57,410 --> 00:13:00,213
From that point, they
were flown from Hanoi
243
00:13:00,313 --> 00:13:02,215
across to northern route,
which would be Northern
244
00:13:02,315 --> 00:13:05,986
Laos, Northern Burma, down
into India for refueling,
245
00:13:06,086 --> 00:13:08,155
and then up to Moscow.
246
00:13:08,255 --> 00:13:10,390
I had information stating
that they had been
247
00:13:10,490 --> 00:13:11,992
flown out to the Sokol area.
248
00:13:15,428 --> 00:13:17,164
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
There is no concrete evidence
249
00:13:17,264 --> 00:13:19,366
of that POWs were
transported to Russia
250
00:13:19,466 --> 00:13:21,801
during the Vietnam conflict.
251
00:13:21,902 --> 00:13:23,236
However, the Soviets
have recently
252
00:13:23,336 --> 00:13:25,238
pledged to search through
their penal system
253
00:13:25,338 --> 00:13:27,740
in the unlikely event that
any Americans were ever
254
00:13:27,841 --> 00:13:28,775
brought into their country.
255
00:13:32,745 --> 00:13:35,715
One question continues
to haunt the families.
256
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:37,750
If the government had knowledge
that their sons had been
257
00:13:37,851 --> 00:13:39,519
captured, why had
their status been
258
00:13:39,619 --> 00:13:41,621
changed to killed in action?
259
00:13:41,721 --> 00:13:44,124
According to Mrs. Matejov,
the answer could be
260
00:13:44,224 --> 00:13:45,725
found at the Paris Peace Talks.
261
00:13:50,297 --> 00:13:52,699
My husband made arrangements
to meet with Dr. Roger
262
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:55,368
Shields, the Assistant
Secretary of Defense
263
00:13:55,468 --> 00:13:57,270
at the Paris Peace Talks.
264
00:13:57,370 --> 00:14:00,941
Dr. Shields told us that
he was ordered to cross off
265
00:14:01,041 --> 00:14:05,845
the name of these four men
from the EC47Q from a list,
266
00:14:05,946 --> 00:14:09,116
a government list of known
live captured Americans,
267
00:14:09,216 --> 00:14:12,719
and write over them
"killed in action."
268
00:14:12,819 --> 00:14:15,788
This plane was flying after
the peace treaty was signed,
269
00:14:15,889 --> 00:14:17,958
therefore it was breaking
the peace treaty.
270
00:14:18,058 --> 00:14:19,559
It was a covert operation.
271
00:14:19,659 --> 00:14:20,994
They were flying over Laos.
272
00:14:21,094 --> 00:14:24,264
And at that time, we said we
were not at war with Laos.
273
00:14:24,364 --> 00:14:26,033
But we were having a
secret war, and there
274
00:14:26,133 --> 00:14:27,901
was secret bombing going on.
275
00:14:28,001 --> 00:14:30,503
But we couldn't admit to that,
so the only thing they could do
276
00:14:30,603 --> 00:14:34,141
was just wipe these men out
as if they never existed.
277
00:14:34,241 --> 00:14:36,109
And that's what they did.
278
00:14:36,209 --> 00:14:39,179
So he was actually killed on
paper at the Paris Peace Talks.
279
00:14:42,983 --> 00:14:44,184
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Roger Shields
280
00:14:44,284 --> 00:14:46,486
declined to appear on camera.
281
00:14:46,586 --> 00:14:49,522
In a telephone conversation
with "Unsolved Mysteries,"
282
00:14:49,622 --> 00:14:53,093
he stated that he was never
ordered to cross off the names.
283
00:14:53,193 --> 00:14:54,761
In fact, he never
had the authority
284
00:14:54,861 --> 00:14:56,763
to make a status change.
285
00:14:56,863 --> 00:14:59,866
However, he did acknowledge
that Mrs. Matejov has
286
00:14:59,967 --> 00:15:02,569
every reason on earth to
wonder if her son might
287
00:15:02,669 --> 00:15:03,470
still be alive.
288
00:15:11,611 --> 00:15:14,847
A man who puts on a
uniform to serve his country
289
00:15:14,948 --> 00:15:16,916
should be brought back
once he serves and brought
290
00:15:17,017 --> 00:15:18,918
back to his loved ones.
291
00:15:19,019 --> 00:15:22,922
So I like to speak
out about that.
292
00:15:23,023 --> 00:15:26,994
Make sure, whatever you do
that, you never let this happen
293
00:15:27,094 --> 00:15:29,429
again, God forbid this
should ever be another war
294
00:15:29,529 --> 00:15:30,897
and other men forgotten.
295
00:15:30,998 --> 00:15:33,967
We didn't expect this kind
of thing from the government,
296
00:15:34,067 --> 00:15:35,368
to be perfectly honest.
297
00:15:35,468 --> 00:15:37,804
I mean, and I had someone
asked me once, well,
298
00:15:37,904 --> 00:15:39,639
do you consider
yourself patriotic?
299
00:15:39,739 --> 00:15:42,275
As though the information
that I was telling
300
00:15:42,375 --> 00:15:44,577
them about made me unpatriotic.
301
00:15:44,677 --> 00:15:47,314
Well, if something goes
wrong in your family,
302
00:15:47,414 --> 00:15:49,016
you do what you can
to straighten it out.
303
00:15:49,116 --> 00:15:52,452
You admit to what
the problem is.
304
00:15:52,552 --> 00:15:56,656
And obviously, I don't believe
they've admitted to this day
305
00:15:56,756 --> 00:15:57,757
what the problem is.
306
00:16:04,197 --> 00:16:05,932
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
The Air Force and the Defense
307
00:16:06,033 --> 00:16:08,768
Intelligence Agency continue
to maintain that there is
308
00:16:08,868 --> 00:16:12,539
absolutely no proof that any
of the men aboard Baron 52
309
00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:14,174
were captured.
310
00:16:14,274 --> 00:16:16,943
The official report
reads, "Following
311
00:16:17,044 --> 00:16:21,514
the loss of Baron 52, none of
its crew was ever seen alive.
312
00:16:21,614 --> 00:16:23,650
And there is no
intelligence whatsoever
313
00:16:23,750 --> 00:16:25,518
which would indicate
that any of the crew
314
00:16:25,618 --> 00:16:27,654
survived the incident of loss."
315
00:16:31,324 --> 00:16:33,793
For nearly 20 years, both
the Air Force and the Defense
316
00:16:33,893 --> 00:16:35,828
Department have stood
by the classification
317
00:16:35,928 --> 00:16:40,033
of Peter Cressman and Joseph
Matejov as killed in action.
318
00:16:40,133 --> 00:16:42,902
However, there was one odd
footnote to this story.
319
00:16:43,002 --> 00:16:46,106
At the Vietnam War
Memorial in Washington DC,
320
00:16:46,206 --> 00:16:48,908
seven of the crewmen
were lost on Baron 52,
321
00:16:49,008 --> 00:16:51,911
including Cressman and
Matejov, are inexplicably
322
00:16:52,011 --> 00:16:53,846
listed as missing in action.
323
00:17:07,694 --> 00:17:09,362
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
In the summer of 1924,
324
00:17:09,462 --> 00:17:12,232
sharecropper Rufus Hinkle
of Greeneville, Tennessee
325
00:17:12,332 --> 00:17:16,503
was forced to make an
agonizing decision.
326
00:17:16,603 --> 00:17:18,571
Rufus' wife died
after giving birth
327
00:17:18,671 --> 00:17:21,841
to twin girls, Mary and Martha.
328
00:17:21,941 --> 00:17:24,811
With little money and
nine other mouths to feed,
329
00:17:24,911 --> 00:17:27,080
Rufus felt he had
no choice but to put
330
00:17:27,180 --> 00:17:28,348
the twins up for adoption.
331
00:17:31,151 --> 00:17:32,985
Within a few months,
Mary and Martha were
332
00:17:33,086 --> 00:17:35,588
adopted by separate families.
333
00:17:35,688 --> 00:17:38,758
Rufus never saw his
daughters again.
334
00:17:38,858 --> 00:17:42,529
He passed away in 1950.
335
00:17:42,629 --> 00:17:46,466
Later on, I heard that they
would not tell us where they
336
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:49,469
were at until my father died.
337
00:17:49,569 --> 00:17:54,774
So shortly after he died, we
started looking for the twins,
338
00:17:54,874 --> 00:17:56,676
and we found Mary.
339
00:17:56,776 --> 00:17:58,845
Why don't you come over here.
340
00:17:58,945 --> 00:18:02,048
In September of
1955, Shorty and Mary
341
00:18:02,149 --> 00:18:06,619
were reunited at her home
in Bluefield, West Virginia.
342
00:18:06,719 --> 00:18:08,020
Great.
343
00:18:08,121 --> 00:18:10,523
You know, Shorty, it's amazing
how much she looks like Dalton.
344
00:18:10,623 --> 00:18:12,525
I can't believe it.
345
00:18:12,625 --> 00:18:14,060
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
That afternoon, Mary
346
00:18:14,161 --> 00:18:16,596
received a special surprise.
347
00:18:16,696 --> 00:18:19,566
Mary, I've got
some news for you.
348
00:18:19,666 --> 00:18:22,235
You have a twin
sister named Martha.
349
00:18:22,335 --> 00:18:23,136
Really?
350
00:18:23,236 --> 00:18:24,504
Really.
351
00:18:24,604 --> 00:18:27,840
I just can't explain how I
did feel, not knowing that I had
352
00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:32,044
a twin sister, a part of me.
353
00:18:32,145 --> 00:18:33,746
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Unfortunately, little was
354
00:18:33,846 --> 00:18:36,183
known of Martha's whereabouts.
355
00:18:36,283 --> 00:18:39,886
Then, in 1986, Martha's
niece, Jackie Reynolds,
356
00:18:39,986 --> 00:18:42,655
learned that Martha had been
taken in by the Meeks family
357
00:18:42,755 --> 00:18:46,526
of Johnson City, Tennessee.
358
00:18:46,626 --> 00:18:49,529
I've never found any trace
of the Meeks whatsoever,
359
00:18:49,629 --> 00:18:54,567
so I really don't know what
happened to 'em from there.
360
00:18:54,667 --> 00:18:57,937
I've often wondered
if it's been good,
361
00:18:58,037 --> 00:19:01,774
or if Martha's
life has been bad.
362
00:19:01,874 --> 00:19:04,977
You wonder about them things.
363
00:19:05,077 --> 00:19:07,514
Shortly after our
broadcast, one of our viewers,
364
00:19:07,614 --> 00:19:09,282
Sandy [inaudible]
of San Bernardino,
365
00:19:09,382 --> 00:19:13,586
California, contacted the Hinkle
family with surprising news.
366
00:19:13,686 --> 00:19:16,122
During a search for her
mother's biological family,
367
00:19:16,223 --> 00:19:19,025
Sandy accidentally discovered
the location of Martha
368
00:19:19,125 --> 00:19:22,629
Hinkle's adoptive family.
369
00:19:22,729 --> 00:19:24,697
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Martha
lived with John and Lyda Meeks
370
00:19:24,797 --> 00:19:26,266
for three years.
371
00:19:26,366 --> 00:19:28,568
When the couple
divorced, Martha was
372
00:19:28,668 --> 00:19:30,637
taken in by the
Dan Jackson family
373
00:19:30,737 --> 00:19:33,306
of Johnson County, Georgia.
374
00:19:33,406 --> 00:19:35,742
In 1940, she married
James Thomas,
375
00:19:35,842 --> 00:19:39,479
and together, they
had four sons.
376
00:19:39,579 --> 00:19:42,782
Sadly, Martha passed away
just weeks before the Hinkle
377
00:19:42,882 --> 00:19:46,118
family could contact her.
378
00:19:46,219 --> 00:19:48,755
I'm glad that I found her.
379
00:19:48,855 --> 00:19:52,058
We won't have to do
no more searching.
380
00:19:52,158 --> 00:19:55,061
But it's so sad that
I couldn't meet her,
381
00:19:55,161 --> 00:19:58,431
that I couldn't be with her,
just to talk to her for--
382
00:19:58,531 --> 00:20:02,201
just for an hour or two and
tell her that I loved her.
383
00:20:04,271 --> 00:20:05,938
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Although she never realized
384
00:20:06,038 --> 00:20:08,107
her dream of meeting
her twin sister,
385
00:20:08,207 --> 00:20:11,978
Mary's 35 year search
was not in vain.
386
00:20:12,078 --> 00:20:16,115
On July 27, 1991,
Martha's four sons
387
00:20:16,215 --> 00:20:20,687
met Mary and a side of the
family they had never known.
388
00:20:20,787 --> 00:20:23,323
That day, in a
bittersweet reunion,
389
00:20:23,423 --> 00:20:25,292
two families came
together as one.
390
00:20:28,928 --> 00:20:31,464
We were part of the
family before we ever walked
391
00:20:31,564 --> 00:20:32,965
up and touched the one of 'em.
392
00:20:33,065 --> 00:20:35,067
It was written all
over their faces
393
00:20:35,167 --> 00:20:39,372
when we saw all those
smiles and tender hearts.
394
00:20:39,472 --> 00:20:42,809
All the little fears, big fears,
the apprehensions just left.
395
00:20:42,909 --> 00:20:44,611
It was all over with.
396
00:20:44,711 --> 00:20:48,247
Glad to be home with our family.
397
00:20:48,348 --> 00:20:51,017
[inaudible] Walmart
one hour photos.
398
00:20:51,117 --> 00:20:54,887
I'm proud that she left
four sons, left part of her
399
00:20:54,987 --> 00:21:01,160
here for me to get together
and know her through her sons.
400
00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:05,432
But part of me is gone
that I've never found,
401
00:21:05,532 --> 00:21:07,266
and I never will find.
402
00:21:07,367 --> 00:21:08,535
But she'll always
be in my heart.
403
00:21:20,413 --> 00:21:21,548
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Next, police
404
00:21:21,648 --> 00:21:23,983
are searching for a
convicted felon who targeted
405
00:21:24,083 --> 00:21:25,618
his ex-wife for violence.
406
00:21:37,597 --> 00:21:41,801
November 23, 1985,
Kingfisher, Oklahoma.
407
00:21:41,901 --> 00:21:43,102
Nice meeting you.
408
00:21:43,202 --> 00:21:44,571
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
23 Year old Teresa
409
00:21:44,671 --> 00:21:47,507
Stamper left a small town
with her new boyfriend,
410
00:21:47,607 --> 00:21:49,976
Chris Butler.
411
00:21:50,076 --> 00:21:51,911
The quiet evening
was a pleasant change
412
00:21:52,011 --> 00:21:54,714
for Teresa, who had just
ended a marriage which was
413
00:21:54,814 --> 00:21:56,549
marked by violence and abuse.
414
00:21:59,452 --> 00:22:01,888
Unbeknownst to Teresa,
her estranged husband,
415
00:22:01,988 --> 00:22:04,524
Paul Stamper, was
parked nearby, watching
416
00:22:04,624 --> 00:22:06,759
her every move through a
high powered telescope.
417
00:22:11,030 --> 00:22:13,366
That night would be the
culmination of a reign
418
00:22:13,466 --> 00:22:14,901
of terror against his ex-wife.
419
00:22:19,672 --> 00:22:21,474
Paul Stamper never
accepted his wife's
420
00:22:21,574 --> 00:22:23,075
decision to leave him.
421
00:22:23,175 --> 00:22:25,712
For six months, he
stalked her night and day,
422
00:22:25,812 --> 00:22:27,179
waiting for just
the right moment
423
00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:29,181
to unleash his vengeance.
424
00:22:29,281 --> 00:22:31,984
Teresa was constantly
looking over her shoulder,
425
00:22:32,084 --> 00:22:35,287
never knowing where or when
her ex-husband would appear.
426
00:22:35,388 --> 00:22:37,289
Paul Stamper had changed.
427
00:22:37,390 --> 00:22:39,659
He was no longer the
man Teresa fell in love
428
00:22:39,759 --> 00:22:41,027
with five years earlier.
429
00:22:45,331 --> 00:22:46,866
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
The booming oil business
430
00:22:46,966 --> 00:22:49,402
in the early 1980s
had lured Paul Stamper
431
00:22:49,502 --> 00:22:52,439
to Kingfisher County, Oklahoma.
432
00:22:52,539 --> 00:22:55,241
Stamper set up a lucrative
oil equipment operation
433
00:22:55,341 --> 00:22:58,344
and hired Teresa, then an
impressionable 20-year-old,
434
00:22:58,445 --> 00:23:00,780
as his secretary.
435
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:05,718
Paul was a real charmer,
and I worked for him,
436
00:23:05,818 --> 00:23:08,988
and he took me places, and
we flew a lot of places.
437
00:23:12,291 --> 00:23:14,761
It was different for me.
438
00:23:14,861 --> 00:23:17,396
Hey, Teresa, honey, you
been outside yet this morning?
439
00:23:17,497 --> 00:23:18,598
It was on my birthday.
440
00:23:18,698 --> 00:23:22,101
He called me about
7:00 in the morning.
441
00:23:22,201 --> 00:23:23,703
And he said, have
you been outside?
442
00:23:23,803 --> 00:23:25,104
And I said, no.
443
00:23:25,204 --> 00:23:28,340
So I looked outside,
and went out there,
444
00:23:28,441 --> 00:23:32,078
and there's this
'82 red Corvette.
445
00:23:32,178 --> 00:23:33,179
That's what he liked to do.
446
00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:36,749
He liked to spend money
and buy nice things.
447
00:23:41,654 --> 00:23:42,489
So what do you think?
448
00:23:42,589 --> 00:23:43,723
What's this?
449
00:23:43,823 --> 00:23:45,492
Well now, looks
like a Corvette.
450
00:23:45,592 --> 00:23:46,459
This is for me?
451
00:23:50,630 --> 00:23:51,931
Nothing but the best
for my little girl.
452
00:23:52,031 --> 00:23:52,832
It's gorgeous.
453
00:23:52,932 --> 00:23:53,733
Come on.
454
00:23:53,833 --> 00:23:56,168
Let's go for a ride.
455
00:23:56,268 --> 00:23:57,069
We had fun.
456
00:23:57,169 --> 00:23:59,472
He was really a lot of fun.
457
00:23:59,572 --> 00:24:00,807
He asked me to marry him.
458
00:24:00,907 --> 00:24:02,041
And I liked him.
459
00:24:02,141 --> 00:24:03,876
He was nice.
460
00:24:03,976 --> 00:24:06,879
He was good to me.
461
00:24:06,979 --> 00:24:09,215
And I liked living like that.
462
00:24:09,315 --> 00:24:11,951
It was fun.
463
00:24:12,051 --> 00:24:13,953
And then we got married.
464
00:24:14,053 --> 00:24:15,888
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Teresa believed she was marrying
465
00:24:15,988 --> 00:24:18,190
a dynamic young businessman.
466
00:24:18,290 --> 00:24:21,293
In fact, Paul Stamper
was a convicted felon
467
00:24:21,393 --> 00:24:23,863
with a record for theft,
assault, and fraud
468
00:24:23,963 --> 00:24:26,265
stretching back to 1974.
469
00:24:26,365 --> 00:24:27,299
Little bit of a problem here.
470
00:24:27,399 --> 00:24:28,367
Whatcha got?
471
00:24:28,467 --> 00:24:29,669
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
More recently
472
00:24:29,769 --> 00:24:32,338
his business practices had
come under investigation
473
00:24:32,438 --> 00:24:35,074
in Oklahoma.
474
00:24:35,174 --> 00:24:38,210
We had unconfirmed reports
that he went out and destroyed
475
00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:41,814
some equipment on locations so
that those same people would
476
00:24:41,914 --> 00:24:43,516
call him the very next
day and have him come out
477
00:24:43,616 --> 00:24:46,519
and repair it.
478
00:24:46,619 --> 00:24:47,987
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Within six months,
479
00:24:48,087 --> 00:24:50,156
the marriage became a
living hell for Teresa.
480
00:24:55,562 --> 00:24:57,196
You mind telling me
where the hell you been?
481
00:24:57,296 --> 00:25:00,767
I was at the grocery
store getting dinner.
482
00:25:00,867 --> 00:25:02,134
You've been gone
for two hours!
483
00:25:02,234 --> 00:25:03,202
Now who were you with?
484
00:25:03,302 --> 00:25:04,303
Nobody.
485
00:25:04,403 --> 00:25:05,638
TERESA (VOICEOVER): He
started watching me,
486
00:25:05,738 --> 00:25:07,740
and having people follow
me, and he wouldn't
487
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,611
let me visit my friends.
488
00:25:11,711 --> 00:25:13,012
And in one moment
he would be nice,
489
00:25:13,112 --> 00:25:15,047
and the next moment,
he would hit me.
490
00:25:15,147 --> 00:25:16,949
And I just didn't know
how to handle him.
491
00:25:17,049 --> 00:25:18,350
Don't I get
everything for you?
492
00:25:18,450 --> 00:25:20,587
Don't I get you a nice place to
live and buy you nice things?
493
00:25:20,687 --> 00:25:22,054
And you're just
running around with--
494
00:25:22,154 --> 00:25:23,089
Paul, this is crazy.
495
00:25:23,189 --> 00:25:23,990
I don't--
496
00:25:24,090 --> 00:25:25,692
You shut up!
497
00:25:25,792 --> 00:25:26,859
TERESA (VOICEOVER):
He was jealous.
498
00:25:26,959 --> 00:25:30,897
And you had better be
here when I get back.
499
00:25:30,997 --> 00:25:34,133
I mean, we could be
sitting at a red light,
500
00:25:34,233 --> 00:25:36,268
and I could just turn
and look at someone,
501
00:25:36,368 --> 00:25:38,638
and it could be a guy
sitting in this car,
502
00:25:38,738 --> 00:25:40,072
and he would just
double his fist up
503
00:25:40,172 --> 00:25:42,809
and just hit me
right in the mouth.
504
00:25:42,909 --> 00:25:45,745
I mean it was just-- it
was unreal to the abuse
505
00:25:45,845 --> 00:25:48,547
that he did to me.
506
00:25:48,648 --> 00:25:49,649
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Stamper
507
00:25:49,749 --> 00:25:51,317
was arrested and
charged with assault
508
00:25:51,417 --> 00:25:55,287
and battery against his wife
on no less than five occasions.
509
00:25:55,387 --> 00:25:59,058
Each time, the charges against
him were inexplicably dropped.
510
00:25:59,158 --> 00:26:00,960
Stamper bragged
to Teresa that he
511
00:26:01,060 --> 00:26:03,830
was paying off the authorities.
512
00:26:03,930 --> 00:26:08,067
We had heard rumors that
there was payoff attempts.
513
00:26:08,167 --> 00:26:12,071
Whether it's true or
not, I don't know.
514
00:26:12,171 --> 00:26:13,539
We looked into a
couple incidents.
515
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,575
We could absolutely
find no basis for it.
516
00:26:16,676 --> 00:26:19,712
But there was a lot
of talk about it.
517
00:26:19,812 --> 00:26:21,748
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): By
the second year of the marriage,
518
00:26:21,848 --> 00:26:23,515
the violence reached
a frightful climax.
519
00:26:26,252 --> 00:26:28,855
On the evening of
January 5, 1985,
520
00:26:28,955 --> 00:26:30,957
a man slipped into
the Stamper's home.
521
00:26:33,626 --> 00:26:36,295
Teresa was out of town, and
a friend was staying over.
522
00:26:50,843 --> 00:26:53,212
Thankfully, the friend
survived the attack
523
00:26:53,312 --> 00:26:54,881
and called the police.
524
00:26:54,981 --> 00:26:56,983
The woman later
identified her assailant
525
00:26:57,083 --> 00:27:02,154
as Gary Trout, a local mechanic
who worked for Paul Stamper.
526
00:27:02,254 --> 00:27:08,227
Gary Trout informed me that
Paul Stamper had contacted him,
527
00:27:08,327 --> 00:27:10,596
and Paul asked of
Gary to kill his wife,
528
00:27:10,697 --> 00:27:15,167
and was willing to pay $5,000
upfront, and then $5,000
529
00:27:15,267 --> 00:27:16,669
to finish it.
530
00:27:16,769 --> 00:27:17,770
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Stamper
531
00:27:17,870 --> 00:27:19,672
was arrested and
charged as an accessory
532
00:27:19,772 --> 00:27:21,473
to the attempted murder.
533
00:27:21,573 --> 00:27:23,609
But when Gary Trout's
case went to court,
534
00:27:23,710 --> 00:27:25,878
he refused to finger his boss.
535
00:27:25,978 --> 00:27:29,481
Once again, all charges
against Stamper were dropped.
536
00:27:32,151 --> 00:27:34,586
Meanwhile, Teresa moved
in with her parents,
537
00:27:34,687 --> 00:27:37,123
yet she never felt
completely safe.
538
00:27:37,223 --> 00:27:39,258
Stamper threatened
her repeatedly.
539
00:27:39,358 --> 00:27:42,394
And on the night of
September 13, 1984,
540
00:27:42,494 --> 00:27:44,230
he left a violent calling card.
541
00:27:47,867 --> 00:27:50,502
I had went to the window,
and looked out the window,
542
00:27:50,602 --> 00:27:55,742
and there he was, just
revving up the engine.
543
00:27:55,842 --> 00:28:00,279
And he just let me see him,
and let me know that he did it,
544
00:28:00,379 --> 00:28:02,514
and then he just drove off.
545
00:28:02,614 --> 00:28:03,883
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Teresa reported
546
00:28:03,983 --> 00:28:05,918
the incident to the
sheriff's department,
547
00:28:06,018 --> 00:28:07,987
but again, nothing was done.
548
00:28:10,656 --> 00:28:13,359
Teresa remained separated from
her husband for more than a
549
00:28:13,459 --> 00:28:14,560
year.
550
00:28:14,660 --> 00:28:17,029
Despite continuing
harassment from Stamper,
551
00:28:17,129 --> 00:28:19,832
she tried to put her
life back together.
552
00:28:19,932 --> 00:28:25,872
Then came the night
of November 23, 1985.
553
00:28:25,972 --> 00:28:29,341
That evening, Teresa and her
new boyfriend, Chris Butler,
554
00:28:29,441 --> 00:28:32,411
had left the dinner party
at approximately 11:30 PM.
555
00:28:36,816 --> 00:28:38,785
TERESA (VOICEOVER): We were
just driving down the highway,
556
00:28:38,885 --> 00:28:41,420
and we weren't
speeding or anything.
557
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,489
And all of a sudden,
these lights come on.
558
00:28:43,589 --> 00:28:45,157
Looks like we got trouble.
559
00:28:45,257 --> 00:28:47,093
TERESA (VOICEOVER): We thought
it was a highway patrolman.
560
00:28:47,193 --> 00:28:49,796
So Chris pulls over.
561
00:28:49,896 --> 00:28:52,498
It's really late and no one
was driving on the highway.
562
00:29:06,913 --> 00:29:07,780
Paul?
563
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,181
Teresa, honey,
get out of the car.
564
00:29:09,281 --> 00:29:10,249
Hey, man.
565
00:29:10,349 --> 00:29:11,617
She's not taking orders
from you anymore.
566
00:29:11,717 --> 00:29:12,751
Hey, you shut up.
567
00:29:12,852 --> 00:29:13,786
What are you doing with
my wife, anyway, huh?
568
00:29:13,886 --> 00:29:14,486
I don't that's any
of your business.
569
00:29:14,586 --> 00:29:15,354
Paul, put down the gun.
570
00:29:15,454 --> 00:29:16,255
Get out of the car now!
571
00:29:20,092 --> 00:29:23,429
Paul, what are you doing?
572
00:29:23,529 --> 00:29:25,397
No, Chris!
573
00:29:25,497 --> 00:29:26,866
Oh my God.
574
00:29:26,966 --> 00:29:28,835
Oh my God.
575
00:29:28,935 --> 00:29:30,102
What are you doing?
576
00:29:30,202 --> 00:29:31,770
Open the door or I'll
shoot you through the window.
577
00:29:31,871 --> 00:29:33,272
Come on!
- OK.
578
00:29:33,372 --> 00:29:36,943
TERESA (VOICEOVER): Finally,
I was so scared that I just--
579
00:29:37,043 --> 00:29:37,977
I unlocked the door.
580
00:29:38,077 --> 00:29:40,612
And he just grabbed
me around my neck,
581
00:29:40,712 --> 00:29:42,514
and just forced
me out of the car.
582
00:29:45,852 --> 00:29:49,421
Chris had come too, and he
had yelled, don't leave me
583
00:29:49,521 --> 00:29:53,926
here, Teresa, don't
leave me here.
584
00:29:54,026 --> 00:29:57,663
And there wasn't
anything I could do.
585
00:29:57,763 --> 00:29:59,031
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Sheriff's
586
00:29:59,131 --> 00:30:03,135
deputies and paramedics were
summoned by a passing motorist.
587
00:30:03,235 --> 00:30:05,838
Chris Butler was in
critical condition.
588
00:30:05,938 --> 00:30:07,539
The bullet had
punctured his heart,
589
00:30:07,639 --> 00:30:11,243
pancreas, spleen, and lung,
but miraculously he survived.
590
00:30:14,546 --> 00:30:18,284
Paul Stamper held a gun to
his ex-wife and headed north.
591
00:30:18,384 --> 00:30:20,552
Two days later, they
stopped at a restaurant
592
00:30:20,652 --> 00:30:22,154
just outside of Topeka, Kansas.
593
00:30:25,424 --> 00:30:26,292
Can I help you?
594
00:30:26,392 --> 00:30:27,293
- Two coffees.
- Is that it?
595
00:30:27,393 --> 00:30:28,194
That's it.
596
00:30:34,066 --> 00:30:35,467
Look, I gotta go
to the bathroom.
597
00:30:43,475 --> 00:30:46,112
TERESA (VOICEOVER): I was
walking toward the restrooms,
598
00:30:46,212 --> 00:30:50,616
and I looked around my shoulder
to see if he was following me.
599
00:30:50,716 --> 00:30:51,817
And he wasn't.
600
00:30:51,918 --> 00:30:56,655
He was just sitting there
with his back toward me.
601
00:30:56,755 --> 00:30:59,926
And so I just took off running.
602
00:31:00,026 --> 00:31:01,827
Teresa ran to the
manager's office
603
00:31:01,928 --> 00:31:03,896
and pleaded with him
to call the police.
604
00:31:03,996 --> 00:31:05,297
Yeah, could you send
an officer by here?
605
00:31:05,397 --> 00:31:06,698
I got a crazy lady--
606
00:31:06,798 --> 00:31:08,034
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): By the
time the authorities arrived,
607
00:31:08,134 --> 00:31:09,368
Paul Stamper had vanished.
608
00:31:12,338 --> 00:31:15,041
Five hours later, police
caught up with Paul Stamper
609
00:31:15,141 --> 00:31:16,842
as he boarded a bus
in Salina, Kansas.
610
00:31:21,613 --> 00:31:23,415
He was returned to
Kingfisher County,
611
00:31:23,515 --> 00:31:25,617
and held in the county
jail to await trial.
612
00:31:32,458 --> 00:31:35,561
Six months later,
at 3:30 AM, a man
613
00:31:35,661 --> 00:31:38,164
who had been offered
$10,000 by Stamper
614
00:31:38,264 --> 00:31:40,066
broke into the
Kingfisher County Jail.
615
00:31:45,171 --> 00:31:45,972
Don't try anything.
616
00:31:46,072 --> 00:31:46,973
What do you want?
617
00:31:47,073 --> 00:31:48,440
Open the cell.
618
00:31:48,540 --> 00:31:49,441
Don't hurt me.
619
00:31:49,541 --> 00:31:50,409
Shut it.
620
00:31:50,509 --> 00:31:51,310
Shut up.
621
00:31:57,516 --> 00:31:58,317
No!
622
00:32:06,825 --> 00:32:08,327
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Paul Stamper escaped,
623
00:32:08,427 --> 00:32:11,297
and has not been seen since.
624
00:32:11,397 --> 00:32:13,899
I'd consider Paul Stamper
extremely dangerous,
625
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,034
reason being, he's desperate.
626
00:32:15,134 --> 00:32:16,302
Doesn't wanna be caught.
627
00:32:16,402 --> 00:32:18,404
Knows he's looking at life
from prison once caught.
628
00:32:18,504 --> 00:32:23,042
And a desperate person
will do desperate things.
629
00:32:23,142 --> 00:32:27,846
He's out there,
somewhere, watching me.
630
00:32:27,946 --> 00:32:32,684
He knows what I do, and I don't
think he knows where I live
631
00:32:32,784 --> 00:32:38,057
now, but I just don't
think it's right
632
00:32:38,157 --> 00:32:40,259
that he should be
out there maybe
633
00:32:40,359 --> 00:32:41,393
doing it to somebody else.
634
00:32:45,831 --> 00:32:46,832
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Update.
635
00:32:46,932 --> 00:32:48,900
Just minutes after
this story aired,
636
00:32:49,001 --> 00:32:52,004
the FBI received information
from several of our viewers
637
00:32:52,104 --> 00:32:54,706
that Paul Stamper was
living in Commerce City,
638
00:32:54,806 --> 00:32:57,276
a suburb of Denver, Colorado.
639
00:32:57,376 --> 00:32:59,478
One phone call
was very specific.
640
00:32:59,578 --> 00:33:01,780
It had his alias.
641
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,982
It had his location,
his address,
642
00:33:04,083 --> 00:33:07,819
his employment, that he was
driving a semi truck overland.
643
00:33:07,919 --> 00:33:10,456
And that brought an immediate
response from the Denver FBI
644
00:33:10,556 --> 00:33:12,191
so that we moved
out within the hour.
645
00:33:14,993 --> 00:33:16,295
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Just three hours
646
00:33:16,395 --> 00:33:18,464
after our broadcast,
Paul Stamper was
647
00:33:18,564 --> 00:33:20,399
arrested as he left his home.
648
00:33:20,499 --> 00:33:22,834
The fugitive had been
living in the Denver area
649
00:33:22,934 --> 00:33:24,736
under the assumed
name Gary Wickle
650
00:33:24,836 --> 00:33:28,507
for approximately four years.
651
00:33:28,607 --> 00:33:31,610
This is one of the more
efficient, cost effective,
652
00:33:31,710 --> 00:33:33,745
speedy apprehensions
that we've ever made.
653
00:33:33,845 --> 00:33:37,883
For us to not have
any idea early evening
654
00:33:37,983 --> 00:33:40,686
that this individual
is in the Denver area,
655
00:33:40,786 --> 00:33:44,990
and by 11:30, he is captured,
he's off the streets,
656
00:33:45,091 --> 00:33:48,227
and he's on his way to Denver
City Jail, that, I think,
657
00:33:48,327 --> 00:33:49,861
may be close to a record for us.
658
00:33:52,664 --> 00:33:53,832
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Paul Stamper
659
00:33:53,932 --> 00:33:55,867
was returned to Oklahoma
and is currently
660
00:33:55,967 --> 00:33:57,869
being held in the
Kingfisher County Jail
661
00:33:57,969 --> 00:34:00,306
while awaiting trial on
charges of kidnapping
662
00:34:00,406 --> 00:34:01,940
and attempted murder.
663
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,344
If convicted, Stamper could
receive life in prison.
664
00:34:22,128 --> 00:34:24,730
When we return, the
saga of Josephine White,
665
00:34:24,830 --> 00:34:37,343
a con woman with 1,000 faces.
666
00:34:37,443 --> 00:34:41,113
April 26 1989,
Norwood, Massachusetts.
667
00:34:41,213 --> 00:34:44,416
An elderly woman is approached
by a stranger who seems nervous
668
00:34:44,516 --> 00:34:45,784
and agitated.
669
00:34:45,884 --> 00:34:48,053
The elderly woman is a
Lithuanian immigrant,
670
00:34:48,154 --> 00:34:49,655
whom we'll call Barbara.
671
00:34:49,755 --> 00:34:52,524
This seemingly chance encounter
would change her life.
672
00:34:52,624 --> 00:34:53,592
Here.
673
00:34:53,692 --> 00:34:55,894
Right by that newspaper,
I found this bag.
674
00:34:55,994 --> 00:34:57,729
Let me show you what I found.
675
00:34:57,829 --> 00:35:00,098
I found this.
676
00:35:00,199 --> 00:35:03,101
I think there's about
$70,000 in there.
677
00:35:03,202 --> 00:35:04,970
What do you think we should do?
678
00:35:05,070 --> 00:35:09,040
I says you better go
to police to find out.
679
00:35:09,141 --> 00:35:10,376
Oh, she says, no.
680
00:35:10,476 --> 00:35:11,643
I don't go to police.
681
00:35:11,743 --> 00:35:16,215
Maybe they take money
and I don't want that.
682
00:35:16,315 --> 00:35:17,183
Well, let me show you this.
683
00:35:17,283 --> 00:35:21,520
I also found inside this note.
684
00:35:21,620 --> 00:35:22,988
And look, look.
685
00:35:23,088 --> 00:35:24,089
This is all it says.
686
00:35:24,190 --> 00:35:26,258
It says, "Dear brother,
we've done it again
687
00:35:26,358 --> 00:35:28,093
this time at the racetrack.
688
00:35:28,194 --> 00:35:29,761
I've enclosed the
money and sent this way
689
00:35:29,861 --> 00:35:31,997
to avoid paying income tax."
690
00:35:32,097 --> 00:35:33,665
And then it's signed "Jose."
691
00:35:33,765 --> 00:35:35,501
Excuse me, ladies, but is--
is there something wrong?
692
00:35:35,601 --> 00:35:37,769
May I be of any help to you?
693
00:35:37,869 --> 00:35:39,070
Well, um.
694
00:35:39,171 --> 00:35:40,172
What is it?
695
00:35:40,272 --> 00:35:41,373
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Barbara
696
00:35:41,473 --> 00:35:43,275
is a volunteer hospital
worker, retired and living
697
00:35:43,375 --> 00:35:44,843
on a small pension.
698
00:35:44,943 --> 00:35:47,579
She is about to fall victim
to one of the oldest tricks
699
00:35:47,679 --> 00:35:50,048
in the book, the pigeon drop.
700
00:35:50,148 --> 00:35:52,851
The wad of money she has
been shown is worthless.
701
00:35:52,951 --> 00:35:56,087
The woman is a con artist,
the man her accomplice.
702
00:35:56,188 --> 00:35:59,325
You know, my boss is like--
he's like a tax specialist.
703
00:35:59,425 --> 00:36:02,361
I mean, he's a
wizard with finances.
704
00:36:02,461 --> 00:36:03,895
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Barbara, an immigrant
705
00:36:03,995 --> 00:36:06,398
with a limited command
of English, confronted
706
00:36:06,498 --> 00:36:09,067
with an amount of money
she has never seen before,
707
00:36:09,167 --> 00:36:11,237
is a perfect target for
an acknowledged master
708
00:36:11,337 --> 00:36:13,972
of the pigeon drop,
Josephine White.
709
00:36:14,072 --> 00:36:17,509
Since 1963, White has
allegedly scammed more than 100
710
00:36:17,609 --> 00:36:19,611
elderly women and
men, all of them
711
00:36:19,711 --> 00:36:21,247
living on small, fixed incomes.
712
00:36:27,886 --> 00:36:30,389
Once I pinned down the person
I was looking for was Josephine
713
00:36:30,489 --> 00:36:33,325
White, I was surprised to see
how many different appearances
714
00:36:33,425 --> 00:36:34,326
that she had.
715
00:36:34,426 --> 00:36:36,562
She changes like a chameleon.
716
00:36:36,662 --> 00:36:37,463
She puts on weight.
717
00:36:37,563 --> 00:36:38,730
She loses weight.
718
00:36:38,830 --> 00:36:40,699
She was described in a
number of different fashions.
719
00:36:40,799 --> 00:36:42,768
And in addition to her
own appearance changing,
720
00:36:42,868 --> 00:36:47,439
she'll use wigs, sunglasses,
quite a bit of jewelry.
721
00:36:47,539 --> 00:36:49,708
And very often, this will
grab a woman's attention away
722
00:36:49,808 --> 00:36:51,377
from her actual
physical appearance.
723
00:36:51,477 --> 00:36:52,544
Why don't we just
go talk to him?
724
00:36:52,644 --> 00:36:53,812
I mean, he'll know what to do.
725
00:36:53,912 --> 00:36:54,746
It is a good idea.
726
00:36:54,846 --> 00:36:55,647
Come on.
727
00:36:55,747 --> 00:36:56,748
It's a great idea.
728
00:36:56,848 --> 00:36:58,116
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Josephine White
729
00:36:58,216 --> 00:36:59,718
and her accomplice are
about to move into phase
730
00:36:59,818 --> 00:37:01,687
two of the pigeon drop.
731
00:37:01,787 --> 00:37:03,689
They persuade Barbara
to go with them to get
732
00:37:03,789 --> 00:37:05,223
advice from Josephine's boss.
733
00:37:08,093 --> 00:37:09,695
You know, I don't
know how I would
734
00:37:09,795 --> 00:37:13,299
have gotten him into college
if I hadn't met you people.
735
00:37:13,399 --> 00:37:14,600
I mean, and then my wife.
736
00:37:14,700 --> 00:37:15,501
Oh God.
737
00:37:15,601 --> 00:37:16,802
What's wrong with her?
738
00:37:16,902 --> 00:37:19,137
Well, she's got a cancer
in her stomach or something.
739
00:37:19,237 --> 00:37:20,205
Oh my God.
740
00:37:20,306 --> 00:37:21,407
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
To lure Barbara
741
00:37:21,507 --> 00:37:23,575
further into their trap,
the accomplice spins out
742
00:37:23,675 --> 00:37:26,144
a poignant, hard luck
story, emphasizing how
743
00:37:26,244 --> 00:37:28,614
desperately he needs the money.
744
00:37:28,714 --> 00:37:32,217
And God, this is the
luckiest day of my life.
745
00:37:32,318 --> 00:37:34,085
No, this is the luckiest
day of all our lives.
746
00:37:34,185 --> 00:37:35,321
This is great.
747
00:37:35,421 --> 00:37:37,055
Yeah, it's so nice to
meet such wonderful people.
748
00:37:37,155 --> 00:37:40,225
Oh, you good man
and you good lady too.
749
00:37:40,326 --> 00:37:41,727
Yes, so are you.
750
00:37:41,827 --> 00:37:43,729
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): They
arrive at an office building,
751
00:37:43,829 --> 00:37:45,997
where Josephine
claims her boss works.
752
00:37:48,934 --> 00:37:50,502
Don't worry.
753
00:37:50,602 --> 00:37:51,903
It'll be fine.
754
00:37:52,003 --> 00:37:52,871
Are you sure?
755
00:37:52,971 --> 00:37:53,772
Yes.
756
00:37:57,242 --> 00:37:58,377
I don't know.
757
00:37:58,477 --> 00:38:00,045
Maybe we should tell police.
758
00:38:00,145 --> 00:38:01,680
Ma'am, don't worry
about it, please.
759
00:38:01,780 --> 00:38:03,281
We can't take it to the
police, because we'll
760
00:38:03,382 --> 00:38:05,083
never get the money back.
761
00:38:05,183 --> 00:38:06,151
You know, and I need the money.
762
00:38:06,251 --> 00:38:07,653
My wife is dying of cancer.
763
00:38:07,753 --> 00:38:09,588
The police find Jose.
764
00:38:09,688 --> 00:38:12,290
The older woman actually
wants to do the right thing.
765
00:38:12,391 --> 00:38:14,225
Now, again, the
third party is only
766
00:38:14,326 --> 00:38:17,195
reinforcing the idea that
this is the best thing to do.
767
00:38:17,295 --> 00:38:20,031
And even though the victim
may make mention of backing
768
00:38:20,131 --> 00:38:22,200
out of the situation,
the third party
769
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:23,234
puts the pressure on them.
770
00:38:23,335 --> 00:38:24,202
Don't worry about it.
771
00:38:24,302 --> 00:38:26,204
Everything's gonna be all right.
772
00:38:26,304 --> 00:38:28,874
So she has emotion
playing on one side,
773
00:38:28,974 --> 00:38:31,377
and pressure of the money being
given to her on the other side.
774
00:38:31,477 --> 00:38:33,579
She's really caught in a vise.
775
00:38:33,679 --> 00:38:37,383
I told you everything
was gonna Be OK.
776
00:38:37,483 --> 00:38:38,817
This is what he said.
777
00:38:38,917 --> 00:38:39,885
We can keep the money--
778
00:38:39,985 --> 00:38:41,086
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Josephine White
779
00:38:41,186 --> 00:38:42,821
tells them that her boss
says they can legally
780
00:38:42,921 --> 00:38:46,425
keep the money, $22,000 apiece.
781
00:38:46,525 --> 00:38:50,662
But she claims that a $5,000
good faith deposit for income
782
00:38:50,762 --> 00:38:52,898
tax purposes is required.
783
00:38:52,998 --> 00:38:54,766
Do you have a
credit card on you?
784
00:38:54,866 --> 00:38:56,167
Oh no, I don't use those.
785
00:38:56,267 --> 00:38:58,637
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Phase
three of the scam now begins--
786
00:38:58,737 --> 00:39:02,140
convince Barbara to
put up the $5,000.
787
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:03,842
Do you have a
bank book on you?
788
00:39:03,942 --> 00:39:05,744
Oh no, my bank home home.
789
00:39:05,844 --> 00:39:08,146
Well, we'll stop off at
your house and get it, OK?
790
00:39:08,246 --> 00:39:09,114
OK.
791
00:39:09,214 --> 00:39:10,382
Let's get going.
792
00:39:10,482 --> 00:39:12,584
These people come along,
and they talk so quickly,
793
00:39:12,684 --> 00:39:15,253
and they offer you all
kinds of grand schemes.
794
00:39:15,353 --> 00:39:17,756
And the second person
is jumping in as
795
00:39:17,856 --> 00:39:19,558
soon as the first person stops.
796
00:39:19,658 --> 00:39:22,327
So pretty soon the
victim's head is spinning.
797
00:39:22,428 --> 00:39:24,262
The idea of money,
the idea of what
798
00:39:24,362 --> 00:39:25,296
should we do with the money.
799
00:39:25,397 --> 00:39:27,466
And pretty soon
she's being directed.
800
00:39:27,566 --> 00:39:31,202
She's having all her thoughts
channeled by these two people,
801
00:39:31,302 --> 00:39:33,071
who are actually
manipulating her
802
00:39:33,171 --> 00:39:35,140
and manipulating her thoughts.
803
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,642
Remember, by the
end of the day,
804
00:39:36,742 --> 00:39:48,119
you'll have the $5,000 back in
the bank, plus $22,0000 more.
805
00:39:48,219 --> 00:39:50,255
And you're sure you
want to take it all?
806
00:39:50,355 --> 00:39:51,156
Oh, I sure.
807
00:39:51,256 --> 00:39:52,057
I sure.
808
00:39:52,157 --> 00:39:53,091
All right.
809
00:39:53,191 --> 00:39:54,860
What size bills do
you want that in?
810
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,361
100S, please.
811
00:39:56,462 --> 00:39:59,097
100s.
812
00:39:59,197 --> 00:40:00,466
1, 2, 3--
813
00:40:00,566 --> 00:40:03,068
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The
$5,000 represents nearly all
814
00:40:03,168 --> 00:40:04,836
of Barbara's savings.
815
00:40:04,936 --> 00:40:16,114
7, 8, 9, 10, 1,000.
816
00:40:16,214 --> 00:40:17,749
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Josephine White returns
817
00:40:17,849 --> 00:40:20,452
to the same office building.
818
00:40:20,552 --> 00:40:23,288
I'll give him this.
819
00:40:23,388 --> 00:40:25,023
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
She tells Barbara she will
820
00:40:25,123 --> 00:40:31,062
show the $5,000 to her boss.
821
00:40:31,162 --> 00:40:33,565
A few minutes later,
White returns and triggers
822
00:40:33,665 --> 00:40:37,368
the final phase of
the pigeon drop.
823
00:40:37,469 --> 00:40:40,105
You can go in and get
your money now, room 204.
824
00:40:40,205 --> 00:40:41,640
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Barbara's instructed
825
00:40:41,740 --> 00:40:44,743
to meet with the boss herself.
826
00:40:44,843 --> 00:40:46,745
We'll be right here
waiting for you.
827
00:41:01,660 --> 00:41:03,895
BARBARA (VOICEOVER):
There was nobody there.
828
00:41:03,995 --> 00:41:09,768
I just look around and then I
come back again to the place
829
00:41:09,868 --> 00:41:12,403
where they was parked.
830
00:41:12,504 --> 00:41:13,505
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Barbara
831
00:41:13,605 --> 00:41:15,674
finds the parking lot empty.
832
00:41:15,774 --> 00:41:21,446
Josephine White, the car,
the man, and Barbra's $5,000
833
00:41:21,547 --> 00:41:22,848
had vanished.
834
00:41:22,948 --> 00:41:24,983
The scam has taken
less than two hours.
835
00:41:29,821 --> 00:41:32,891
At this point, the
victim is devastated.
836
00:41:32,991 --> 00:41:35,426
The victim doesn't
know what to do.
837
00:41:35,527 --> 00:41:40,098
They didn't know whether to
cry, to collapse, to walk away.
838
00:41:40,198 --> 00:41:41,366
They're just lost.
839
00:41:41,466 --> 00:41:43,401
Their trust has been betrayed.
840
00:41:43,501 --> 00:41:46,004
So what ends up happening is,
they eventually walk around
841
00:41:46,104 --> 00:41:48,406
and they go over, and they
mull it over in their mind.
842
00:41:48,506 --> 00:41:50,441
Geez, if I tell my family,
they're going to think
843
00:41:50,542 --> 00:41:51,910
I'm a stupid old woman.
844
00:41:52,010 --> 00:41:55,180
If I tell my son, he may
put me in a nursing home.
845
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,816
And all these terrible
thoughts go through their mind
846
00:41:57,916 --> 00:42:00,619
in conjunction with the
embarrassment and the problems
847
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:01,953
of losing large sums of money.
848
00:42:07,258 --> 00:42:11,663
I don't understand
myself how I did that.
849
00:42:11,763 --> 00:42:12,898
But I trust her.
850
00:42:12,998 --> 00:42:16,668
She says you'll get
this 5,000 back.
851
00:42:16,768 --> 00:42:19,771
And you'll get or 22 more.
852
00:42:19,871 --> 00:42:21,106
I trust.
853
00:42:21,206 --> 00:42:22,040
That's why I did.
854
00:42:24,610 --> 00:42:25,877
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Josephine White
855
00:42:25,977 --> 00:42:28,947
has bilked her victims
out of nearly $1 million.
856
00:42:29,047 --> 00:42:31,216
Just two weeks ago,
she struck again in two
857
00:42:31,316 --> 00:42:33,251
different Boston suburbs.
858
00:42:33,351 --> 00:42:36,988
White sometimes uses the names
Judith Hunt or Judith Campbell,
859
00:42:37,088 --> 00:42:40,191
and operates primarily along the
East Coast and in California.
860
00:43:06,017 --> 00:43:07,986
On our next
"Unsolved Mysteries,"
861
00:43:08,086 --> 00:43:10,555
in Florida, a bright,
energetic, young mother
862
00:43:10,656 --> 00:43:14,025
suffered years of abuse at the
hands of her brutish husband.
863
00:43:14,125 --> 00:43:18,697
When she finally walked out,
he decided to take revenge.
