NARRATOR: This program is
about unsolved mysteries.

Whenever possible, the
actual family members

and police officials
have participated

in recreating the events.

What you are about to see
is not a news broadcast.

ROBERT STACK: March 1990.

NATO tracking
stations in Belgium

pick up a strange,
unidentified aircraft on radar.

The Belgian Air Force
deploys two fighter jets

to intercept the intruder only
to have it dart out-of-range

and disappear at
supersonic speed.

It is the most dramatic
of thousands of recent UFO

sightings in Belgium.

In the late 1960s,
Rock Creek, Ohio

was besieged by a wild
gang of street toughs.

Robert Hamrick took charge
of the police force.

He was determined to run
the gang out of town.

Six months later,
Hamrick was killed

in a suspicious car accident

Philip Breen was a
successful businessman

with a remarkable
knack for making money

and for taking money.

In 1990, he vanished after
defrauding his employer out

of millions of dollars and
leaving his unsuspecting wife

to pay the debt.

Also, a woman's search
for her long lost mother

has finally ended
thanks to our viewers.

Join me for the heartwarming
reunion on Unsolved Mysteries.

[theme music]

Brussels, Belgium is
known as the capital

of capitals-- an ancient
city of charm and elegance.

It would seem unlikely
that old world

Brussels would be the
focal point of a very

contemporary controversy.

Since the fall of 1989,
several thousand people

from all walks of life have
reported that Belgium is

being invaded from the skies.

Basically, what we saw
was this big triangular

object with three bright
white lights in the corners.

And it was immobile
above the motorway.

In the middle was
a flashing red light.

It passed by
approaching the roofs

since it was flying so low.

You could see three
white lights which

formed an equilateral triangle.

ROBERT STACK: What exactly is
it that thousands of people

had been seeing in the
night sky over Belgium?

These drawings were
generated from the testimony

of hundreds of eyewitnesses.

Almost without fail, they
describe an immense triangular

object with bright
lights at the corners

and another light in the center.

Then on July 11th, 1991, an
extraordinary press conference

was held.

High ranking members
of the Belgian military

briefed the media on a UFO with
Air Force jets that attempted

to chase down and
remarkably, had recorded

on their radar screens.

Tonight, we will
show you the evidence

presented at that conference
for the first time

on American television.

UFO sightings here
in the United States

have traditionally been
met with skepticism.

In most cases,
justified by government

and military officials.

The reports have elicited
either denials or in most

cases, a simple, "no comment".

What you are about
to see is a first.

This story was filmed with
a complete cooperation

of the Belgian Air Force and
the gendarmerie, a national law

enforcement agency.

Belgium lies on the
southeast edge of the North

Sea bordered by Germany,
France, Luxembourg,

and the Netherlands.

The mystery of the Belgian
UFOs began on the night

of November 29th, 1989, just
outside of the small town

of Eupen--

less than seven miles
from the German border.

Jean Demes Heinrich Nicoll
and Euber Von Montige

were on a routine patrol.

As we approach the
crossroads, our attention

was drawn to an unusual sight.

We saw a field near the
road that was all lit up.

It looks like lights on
a huge football field.

We thought it was strange
and we wanted to know

what was causing those lights.

So we pulled over to
the side of the road.

There was a huge
triangular platform

and underneath it,
the strong headlights.

In the middle was this blinking,
pulsating orange light.

The whole thing was
floating in the air.

ROBERT STACK: Nicoll
and Von Montige

immediately called
the dispatcher

in Eupen, Albert Creutz.

Suddenly, they told
me they were seeing

a strange object in the sky.

It made no noise.

We joked about it
and said it might

be Santa Claus trying to land.

ROBERT STACK: Creutz noted
the unusual report in his log

but remained skeptical.

The gendarmes follow
the unknown object

as they soared across
the Belgian countryside

toward Eupen.

HEINRICH NICOLL: We could see it
clearly because the headlights

were very strong.

We could also see the flickering
orange ball underneath.

We were driving very slowly
because it seemed like there

was someone in that
object, and that someone

was trying to observe what
was happening on earth.

ROBERT STACK: Moments
later, a strange light

flashed across the window
of Creutz's office in Eupen.

Off in the distance, I
could see something bright,

but I didn't know what it was.

Suddenly, I saw
something that looked

like a laser beam
shoot out of the light

and then come back to the light.

We continued to
observe the object as it

circled over the city of Eupen.

It appeared to be heading
toward the forest.

ROBERT STACK: Jean Demes
Heinrich Nicoll and his partner

were mesmerized.

They began to suspect
that this visitor

had some special purpose.

Number

On each side of the object,
there was a kind of laser beam

and a ball that was
leaving the object

and coming back as
if the ball were

trying to measure something.

So it was easy for us to
keep track of in the sky.

ROBERT STACK: When Nicoll
next called into dispatch,

Creutz reported that he had
contacted four local airports.

Each had reported no unusual
activity in the skies.

ROBERT STACK: For
a full 30 minutes,

the gendarmes watched
in awe as the object

hovered in the distance.

Then the remarkable episode
took another unexpected turn.

All of a sudden, it
came out of nowhere--

another spacecraft.

We were a little frightened.

The one we had been following
was still over there,

and now a second one was
rising up into the sky.

At a given moment,
it tilted slightly.

We could see, again,
the shape of a triangle

with bright headlights
and one in the middle.

It Was exactly like
the first object.

We could see some kind of
dome on the top with two

or three small
windows, and there

was a light inside the object.

By the time we realized what
it was, the object flew away.

ROBERT STACK: Moments later,
whatever doubts dispatcher

Creutz still had evaporated.

Through the open window, I
saw a strange machine floating

about 500 feet away from me.

It looked like a large
ship floating in the air.

It drifted in front of
me for a few seconds then

flew away in the
direction of La Calamine.

It was a beautiful thing to see.

ROBERT STACK: Six minutes
later, two other gendarmes

encountered a similar
object in the small village

of La Calamine-- eight
miles to the north.

We had heard our
colleagues talking

about this flying object.

In the beginning, we thought
it was some sort of joke,

but then, we saw something.

It wasn't funny anymore.

Both of us had
a strange feeling.

It was impossible to
explain what the object was.

We thought it was in American
airplane or something.

We had no other explanation
for what it might be,

but it was real.

And it was above us.

Then another object was
leaving the main object.

It was a red light
pulsating and descending

vertically from the object.

It turned to the right side and
moved off behind the building.

ROBERT STACK: According
to Gendarmes Plumanns

and his colleague,
the episode culminated

with a stunning climax.

The craft seemed to transform
into a single beam of light

then it disappeared.

All four of these
extraordinary sightings

occurred within 20 miles
in one hour of each other.

That same day, 11
other gendarmes

and more than 100
private citizens

came forward with
similar reports.

Suddenly, Belgium was
buzzing the talk of UFOs.

That remarkable evening
in 1989 was just

the beginning of an
incredible wave of sightings

which continues to this day.

It may seem unbelievable,
but when we return,

we'll present startling evidence
of the first acknowledged

military tracking of a UFO--

a video radar recording
provided by the Belgian Air

Force which has never been seen
before by the American public.

On November 29th, 1989,
gendarmes in Belgium

reported sightings of an
unidentified flying object.

Over the next few months,
hundreds of witnesses

would come forward.

All describing a similar
triangular object.

Then, in April of 1990, this
extraordinary photograph

was taken.

It shows the same array
of lights which was

described by the eyewitnesses.

By using a computer to
enhance the film's contrast,

the triangular shape
becomes clearly visible.

That remarkable image is
currently being analyzed

by scientists in Belgium.

It offered what many believe is
the first photographic evidence

that UFOs are frequenting
the Belgian sky.

In the last two years, Belgian
authorities have been deluged

by thousands of sightings.

The difficult task of
deciphering and coordinating

the reports has
been undertaken by

a privately-funded
organization of scientists

and citizens known as SOBEPS.

Working hand in hand
with the Belgian military

and the gendarmerie,
SOBEPS opened

lines of communication
and set procedures

anticipating future encounters.

They did not have
to wait very long.

In March of 1990, the next wave
of Belgian UFO sightings began.

Captain Jacques Pinson the
gendarmerie, was called

to a residence
outside of Brussels

when dinner guests reported
a series of strange lights

in the sky,

Its points of light we're very
different than the other stars.

They were much bigger
and much brighter

and not the color of stars.

The main colors were
reddish or yellow,

and the others were green.

Later, they began to
travel short distances

in an erratic manner.

ROBERT STACK: 30 Miles away
at a NATO tracking station,

radar had detected
an unknown object

at the exact location
the dinner guest

had reported seeing lights.

It showed up as a small circle
with a tail in the lower left

quadrant of the radar screen.

We phoned to other civilian
and military radar sites like

Semmerzake, Bertem,
Saint-Hubert,

and they had precisely the
same echo in the same place.

We were unable to identify
this echo as being

either enemy, either friendly.

It was not very clear for
us that it was an aircraft.

ROBERT STACK: With
confirmations from four

different radar stations,
the Belgian Air Force

was now on alert.

Something very unusual was
in the skies over Belgium.

ROBERT STACK: Two F-16s
from the Belgian Air Force

were immediately deployed.

Their mission, to locate
and identify the object.

The pilots gave chase as
soon locked onto the object

with on-board radar.

But after just five seconds,
the object bolted out

of range at a blistering speed.

We measured some
exceptional accelerations

which cannot be related
to conventional aircraft.

That is clear.

ROBERT STACK: For the
next hour, the pilots

reported that the object seemed
to be playing a high-tech game

of cat and mouse.

Each time they achieved lock-on,
the object darted out of range.

The pilots
confirmed that it was

impossible for them
to accelerate as quick

as the target was doing.

ROBERT STACK: An examination
of the onboard radar footage

astonished the military.

This is a portion of the actual
footage recorded that evening.

The UFO appears in the center of
the screen as a diamond shape.

The figure in the
upper right hand corner

indicates the altitude of the
object in thousands of feet.

When the pilots first locked on,
the object which at 7,000 feet,

but within seconds, it had
climbed to 10,000 feet.

Then incredibly, the object
plummeted to just 500 feet

in the span of
only five seconds.

At the same time, the object
accelerated to 990 knots,

more than 1,000 miles
per hour or 1 and 1/2

times the speed of sound.

This fantastic combination
of acceleration and descent

would have been fatal
to a human pilot.

And there is yet one
additional oddity.

Even though the craft
exceeded the speed of sound,

remarkably, no one
on the ground ever

reported hearing a sonic boom.

The data done on
all these performances

which you are registered during
the lock-on of the radar.

It was totally outside
of the normal performance

envelope of any airplane.

ROBERT STACK: Despite
the fact that the UFOs

have been observed by
thousands of witnesses.

And despite the fact
that one unknown t

is easily evaded, sophisticated,
high tech fighter jets.

Skeptics continue to dismiss
the science as nothing

more than mass UFO hysteria.

They believe that
the radar reports

can be attributed to
false echos or changes

in atmospheric conditions.

Some people don't believe us
and the things we have seen.

Well, they are free
not to believe us.

It doesn't matter to me,
but I have seen something

and what else can I say?

It was not some
invention of my mind.

I saw it, and it was very real.

And it happened
just as I have said.

I got out of the car
and hovering over us

was a big black triangle.

It was very dark.

The triangle had large
light on top of it,

and the lights circled
around while the triangle

remained suspended in the air.

There have been thousands
of observations in Belgium,

and I think it's our job to try
to find out if there is really

something in the air, where it
comes from, what the origin is,

and what the intentions are.

Indeed, there is something
going on in Belgium

which is beyond our control.

ROBERT STACK: There
is one curious fact

which bears mentioning.

Despite thousands of
sightings in Belgium,

there have been just a
handful of UFOs reported

in the neighboring
countries of France,

Germany, and the Netherlands.

For skeptics, this is additional
proof that the sightings

are nothing more than fantasy.

However, some people
speculate that the objects

may be attracted to Belgium's
highway system, which

is so brightly lit at night
that it was visible even

to the astronauts on the moon

On September 26th, 1991, an
emotional, joyous reunion

took place in Temple
Hills, Maryland.

Thanks to our viewers, Mary
Maxwell and Carla Downing

came together as mother and
daughter for the first time.

It all began in 1965 when
Carla was 16 years old.

Shortly after her
mother's death,

she met a mysterious woman
at her grandparents' house.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Carla, this is Mary.

Mary was a friend of your
mom's in high school.

Hi, you look very familiar.

ROBERT STACK: At the
time, Carla had no idea

who the woman really was.

Carla Downing had grown up
in a happy close-knit family,

but shortly after
her brother was born,

she began to feel that she
somehow did not fit in.

The whole time
I was growing up,

I always knew that there was
just something not right.

Mainly because of the difference
between my brother and I.

He had blue eyes and blond
hair, and it was curly.

I had straight dark hair,
dark eyes, olive complexion.

You know, it was just obvious--

to me even-- that we
just weren't like.

ROBERT STACK: Not until
her father's death in 1990

did Carla's tangled
family history

finally began to unravel.

In her father's
brief case, she would

come across documents
which unveiled

a startling family secret.

The father and
mother who raised her

where not her natural parents.

Carla learned that
in 1948, her mother

Mildred met a recent immigrant
from Belgium named Mary.

Mary was all alone and pregnant.

She knew that she would be
unable to care for her baby.

The two women concocted
a scheme to switch

ID cards in the hospital.

In doing so, Mildred would
be listed on the birth

certificate as Carla's mother.

I just had this
need to find Mary.

I want to be in the same
room with someone I resemble.

I want my mother.

I want somebody that I've been
looking for for a long time.

On the right of our broadcast,
Carla Downing's prayers

are finally answered.

Her natural mother,
Mary Maxwell,

was very much alive and very
anxious to see her daughter.

Carla was also
overjoyed to discover

she had two half-sisters.

Eight days later, Carla traveled
from her home in Tennessee

to Maryland where
she was finally

reunited with her mother.

I knew it was her.

I couldn't believe it,
and all I could say

is, "Carla, oh, Carla."

And I ran out the
door, and she ran--

almost fell out of
the car, I think.

We couldn't do nothing else
but hold each other and cry.

When I saw her
for the first time,

I just can't describe
that feeling.

It's home at last.

I can breathe again.

It's just the happiest
moment in my whole life,

just the happiest
moment in my whole life.

This is your grandfather father,
and your grandmother and this

is your grandfather
and grandmother

when they got married.

It's like a miracle.

I couldn't believe it.

I couldn't believe it
for the longest time.

I says, "This is
not happening to us.

It only happens to
other people that they

find somebody their
looking for-- not us,

but it'll happen to us.

When I found out that my
mom was alive, and healthy,

and OK, that was just the
best news in the world.

Then, the extra bonus was I
have two sisters and a nephew.

So it is it's a happy ending.

It's a fairy tale come true.

ROBERT STACK: Next,
a small town cop

who stood up to a gang of
thugs harassing his community

and then died under
usual circumstances.

In the late 1960s,
a group of young men

began terrorizing
tiny Rock Creek, Ohio.

Once quiet and peaceful,
Rock Creek became a community

held hostage by fear.

They were involved in fights.

They were involved in threats.

They pretty much had the entire
village under their thumb.

When they spoke, the village,
pretty much, listened.

ROBERT STACK: At the time, the
town relied on the Ashtabula

County Sheriff's
Department for protection,

but with limited
resources, the department

seemed unable to stem the crime
wave engulfing Rock Creek.

The town's people
decided to fight back.

They organized their
own police department.

In July 1969, Robert
Hamrick became the third man

in less than six months
to take charge of Rock

Creek's police department.

His predecessors both left after
allegedly receiving threats

from members of the
Rock Creek gang,

but Robert Hamrick
was confident that he

could clean up the town.

He'd try to do the best
job that he knew how to do.

He wanted it to be a
nice, friendly town,

and he wanted to get
this gang off the streets

so that people wouldn't
have to be afraid of them.

ROBERT STACK:
Almost immediately,

Chief Hamrick and
his family became

the targets of a systematic
campaign of harassment.

MYRTLE HAMRICK: They
just did anything

that they could to aggravate
him when they knew he was home,

and you know, he
did get fed up--

take off out there after them.

And then at least it would
quiet down there by the house.

ROBERT STACK: Five months
after he was sworn in,

Chief Hamrick
investigated an abandoned

building on the edge of town.

Inside, he found an
expensive sports car.

A check of the
license plate revealed

that the car was stolen.

We came across it, found
it, fingerprinted it,

and we bugged the
building because we

didn't know who was there.

And we put a bug
in the building,

put a radio on our car,
and just drove around

and listened until
the guys come back.

Bob was hiding in the office,
and when they showed up,

We jumped out and busted them.

The suspects were believed to be
members of the Rock Creek gang.

They were arrested
and released on bail.

MYRTLE HAMRICK: Shortly
after these guys was arrested

for the stolen car is
when threats came in

on the telephone, and I don't
really know how many threats

came in because if he
was home, most the time,

he answered the phone.

But this one day, I was in the
kitchen and the phone rang.

It was a man on the other end,
and he said, tell your husband

to leave things alone
and get him out of town

or he's going to be hurt, and
he's going to be hurt bad.

ROBERT STACK: One month
later, on March 10th, 1970,

during a routine patrol,
the Chief Hamrick notified

the Sheriff's dispatcher that he
was in pursuit of a car heading

west out of town.

An hour and a half passed
with no further radio contact.

Finally, at around
3:00 AM, the dispatcher

requested the
Sheriff's deputies try

and locate the missing chief.

He had a high-speed
chase going west

on Calender Road from Route 45.

ROBERT STACK: Four hours
later, Sheriff's deputy,

Denny Chapman, discovered
Hamrick's patrol car

on an isolated road
just outside of town.

The car had collided
with a tree.

Hamrick was semi-conscious
barely alive.

He had head and
facial injuries.

Probably the right
side or left side both.

I was surprised to find him
I moving when I got there.

My next thing was to keep him
from moving so that he wouldn't

do further injury to himself.

ROBERT STACK: From the onset,
the investigating deputy

suspected foul play.

They found blood
covering the back seat.

Hamrick's service revolver
and night stick were missing.

In fact, nothing
at the scene seemed

consistent with an accident.

The ignition has been
turned off, so has the lights.

The patrol car's
ignition and light

switches where in
the off position,

but why would Hamrick,
who was barely conscious,

turned off the
engine and headlights

but not radio for help.

Robert Hamrick never
regained consciousness.

10 days later, he died.

Despite compelling
evidence to the contrary,

Hamrick's death was
officially ruled an accident.

I didn't believe then, and I
still don't believe to this day

that all the injuries
that Bob received

was a result of
that car accident.

I believe my husband's death
was not a car accident,

and that he was beaten to death,
and that it was covered up.

There's so many questions,
and there is evidence,

and people just have
ignored that evidence

and they've ignored the
circumstances at the time.

And what was going on in
the village at the time?

Six hours after
the crash, the car

that Hamrick had
been chasing was

found at a local gas station.

It was splattered with
mud and had damaged tire.

The owner stated that she had
taken the car in for repairs

the previous day.

one of the station employees
was known to be a member

of the Rock Creek gang.

Were you driving
this car last night?

No.

The owner told us, when
she dropped the car off,

the car was in very
clean condition.

There was no flat tires on the
car when she dropped it off.

In fact, I think she was a
little surprised that they

had to keep it overnight.

Knowing that he hung
around the Rock Creek area.

I had trouble with
him in the past

from answering calls down
in the Rock Creek area.

I felt that he was
directly involved.

ROBERT STACK: One
local woman claims

that she overheard members of
the Rock Creek gang bragging

that they had murdered
Chief Hamrick.

They were saying, we killed us
a cop, and we got away with it.

And they proceeded to
tell how they killed him--

how they beat him in the head.

They had it all planned.

They set him up-- get him
down here on the road,

and they took his
billy club and they

started hitting him with it.

[fighting]

They put him back into his car,
and then they left him there--

left him to die.

They said, we'll never get
caught, and I knew in my heart,

I knew they were right.

They would never get caught.

They were above the law.

I've been checking into
it for 20 years constantly,

and if somebody actually hurt
that man, more than likely,

I know them.

Probably call him
a friend, and I

would hate to think that
somebody that I knew

and somebody that I call
a friend would leave a man

in the condition he was in.

There's no way my father's
death could have been

an accident because I
have read the files,

and there's enough material in
there to point to other things.

And I just can't believe it.

I just hope that we find
out what actually happened,

and if by some
miracle we find out

who is responsible that
they pay for what they did.

They took my father
from me, and they've

lived a life thinking
that they got away

with it for over 20 years now.

And I think it's time that they
got something taken from them.

The case of Robert
Hamrick has been officially

closed for more than 20 years.

However, authorities
are prepared to reopen

the investigation should any
new evidence come to light.

Next, authorities
need your help to find

a businessman accused of
embezzling millions of dollars.

Every year in the
United States, thousands

of adult men and women seemingly
vanish without a trace.

Sadly, in many cases,
a missing person

is a victim of foul play.

However, there are
those who engineer

their own disappearances
leaving family

and friends to wonder
not only were they are

but what happened.

Philip and Kathleen Breen were
married in Detroit, Michigan

in the spring of 1988.

Philip was a
dashing high-powered

corporate executive.

Kathleen, a young,
successful businesswoman.

Together, they enjoyed the good
life complete with a vast array

of expensive grown-up toys.

Apparently, paid for
by Philip's investments

in the stock market.

For Katherine, the marriage
was a dream come true.

There were a
lot of things that

were really great about him.

I think it was
his sense of humor

was one thing that I
thought was really great,

and we were crazy
about each other.

I mean, I really
loved this person,

and I believe that
he really loved me.

And I believed that
I could trust him.

ROBERT STACK: Philip
was the president

of a highly successful
Detroit mortgage company.

His position gave him the
authority to purchase mortgages

for the company to service.

He always came across
as a happy-go-lucky guy--

a wizard in the stock market.

He was always coming and saying
I made a great killing today.

I made a hundred grand.
I made this.

I bought these options.

I sold these options.

You just thought, this
person had a certain knack

that nobody else had.

ROBERT STACK: Philip
Breen was also generous.

When a friend's
business hit hard times,

Philip loaned him $100,000.

No problem, you can
pick up a check tomorrow.

He wrote me a check
with no questions asked.

He never came off as
the big wheeler dealer.

He came off as a
kind and good person

and wanting to share what
he had with other people.

He certainly shared it with me.

ROBERT STACK: In
the spring of 1989,

Breen purchased
the Orlando Juice

baseball team for $700,000.

The team was one
of eight franchises

in the newly formed
Senior Professional

Baseball Association--

a league built around
retired big-name ballplayers.

The venture was risky,
and Breen's work

at the mortgage company soon
took a back seat to his role

as a team owner.

It seemed like
it was something

that he really wanted to do.

It was important to him,
but in a lot of ways,

I didn't like it
because I thought

that it put an awful
lot of pressure on him.

And it seemed like he
was just, at that point,

running himself into the ground,
and it didn't make sense to me.

I don't see what your
problem is with this.

Why don't we just get out
of the house for a while--

I told you, I've got some
calls I've got to make.

Phil, this is
our vacation, you

haven't done one thing with me.

So why don't you go do it?

ROBERT STACK: By year's
end, the enterprise

seemed doomed to failure.

Philip's investment
and ballooned

to more than two
million dollars,

and he'd begun drinking heavily.

During a two-week vacation
at their Florida condo,

Kathleen became concerned about
her husband's mental state.

I noticed a change in him.

He seemed to be
spending more money.

It just seemed like
as time went on,

the money was going more
and more to his head.

So you have no lien
on this property?

ROBERT STACK: Back in
Detroit, the mortgage

company where
Philip was employed

made an unsettling discovery.

They had been servicing
loans that Breen

had purchased from companies
that simply did not exist.

The company suspected Philip
Breen of embezzlement.

It was just mind
boggling something

like that could happen.

The things that ran through
your mind is, my God,

we trusted this guy, how
could he do this to us?

ROBERT STACK: On Friday
January 5th, 1990,

Philip and Kathleen returned
from their Florida vacation

to their home in Detroit.

Hello?

Yes, all right, just a minute.

Phil, it's the office.

All right, I'll
take it in here.

Something seemed to be not
right, but I didn't know what.

And so I took his
briefcase into him

in the room where
he was on the phone,

and that room was a
complete disaster area.

He had records piled
all over the floor,

papers were strewn all over.

He looked very upset.

I mean, he had a very funny
expression on his face,

and it frightened me to see
him freaked out like that.

That evening, he
revealed to me that he

had somehow been the victim of
people selling phony mortgages.

He said to us, don't
worry, I'll get these guys.

I know they can explain it.

There's not a problem.

You know, he kept reassuring
us there's not a problem.

I'll get a hold of
them over the weekend.

I kept saying, shouldn't
we be contacting an attorney?

Should you be
talking to a lawyer?

What do we need to do?

I was just confused.

I didn't know what to do.

I was afraid.

I was afraid for him.

I was afraid for us.

ROBERT STACK: By
Monday morning, Philip

had convinced
Kathleen that he could

straighten everything out.

He left for work
at around 8 o'clock

explaining he had
an early meeting.

Philip Breen never
arrived at his office.

That night, Kathleen's hopes
that Philip would return

were dashed when she
discovered he had taken some

of his clothes and luggage.

I was really upset.

The idea that he would
have actually gone

just was incomprehensible to me.

I couldn't believe it.

ROBERT STACK: An
investigation by the FBI

revealed a magnitude of Philip
Breen's embezzlement scheme.

In less than two
years, he had created

at least 99 fictitious
loans netting

in more than $10 million.

Breen allegedly used
the money to support

his extravagant lifestyle.

The FBI also discovered
that 12 years earlier,

Philip Breen had been convicted
for fraud and embezzlement

in Florida.

There was just this
whole person that I

didn't even know existed.

I think that I was really
just numb with shock,

and then I question my own
sanity, my own intelligence--

how could you not know?

And why didn't I know?

I mean, I found
myself questioning

absolutely everything.

ROBERT STACK: On the
advice of her attorney,

Kathleen filed for divorce.

It was too late.

The courts held her legally
responsible for Philip's debts.

She was forced to
sell nearly everything

she and Philip owned--

their cars, boats, Florida
condo, and Detroit home.

For Kathleen Breen, the
dream was not just over,

it had been shattered.

I felt like I was married
to a monster from outer space,

and it almost just
sickens me in a way.

Like, just haunted by it
and still even now-- it's

just very difficult to believe
that someone that you think

that you know would be
capable of just picking

up and just leaving like that.

ROBERT STACK: On our
next Unsolved Mysteries,

Captain Jeffrey
Digman was a textbook,

picture perfect marine.

Then he was found shot
to death in his own bed.

When police ruled it a
suicide, Digman's parents

began their own
investigation and set out

to prove that their
son had been murdered.

Also, thanks to our viewers,
a man wanted for kidnapping

and attempted murder
is now in custody.

Join me next time.

Perhaps, you may be able
to help solve a mystery.
