1
00:00:04,672 --> 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.
6
00:00:20,354 --> 00:00:22,123
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The
tiny village of Medjugorje
7
00:00:22,223 --> 00:00:25,159
in Yugoslavia is a mecca
for countless thousands
8
00:00:25,259 --> 00:00:28,062
in search of physical
and spiritual healing.
9
00:00:28,162 --> 00:00:31,999
In 1986, Jill Jensen seemed
hopelessly addicted to cocaine
10
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:34,568
and Rita Klaus was suffering
from the debilitating
11
00:00:34,668 --> 00:00:36,870
effects of multiple sclerosis.
12
00:00:36,970 --> 00:00:39,307
Today, both of them believe
that they were cured
13
00:00:39,407 --> 00:00:42,143
by the miracle of Medjugorje.
14
00:00:42,243 --> 00:00:46,380
1974, Bullhead City, Arizona.
15
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:49,617
Volunteer firefighters respond
to a report of a small blaze
16
00:00:49,717 --> 00:00:52,253
at an abandoned miner's shaft.
17
00:00:52,353 --> 00:00:54,955
Inside, they are stunned
to find the badly burned
18
00:00:55,055 --> 00:00:56,824
bodies of two young boys.
19
00:00:56,924 --> 00:01:00,394
The deaths are ruled
accidental, but since then
20
00:01:00,494 --> 00:01:02,130
at least three
eyewitnesses have claimed
21
00:01:02,230 --> 00:01:05,499
the fire was deliberately set
and the boys were murdered.
22
00:01:08,969 --> 00:01:11,972
In Missouri, the quiet
tranquility of a small town
23
00:01:12,072 --> 00:01:14,408
is shattered by a
dramatic car chase
24
00:01:14,508 --> 00:01:18,146
and the shocking abduction
of a popular young woman.
25
00:01:18,246 --> 00:01:20,748
For every mystery,
there is someone
26
00:01:20,848 --> 00:01:23,417
somewhere who knows the truth.
27
00:01:23,517 --> 00:01:24,918
Perhaps it's you.
28
00:01:25,018 --> 00:01:27,421
[theme music]
29
00:02:16,637 --> 00:02:19,740
1986, Chicago, Illinois.
30
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,677
Former model Jill Jensen
is so strung out on cocaine
31
00:02:23,777 --> 00:02:29,049
she has gouged open sores
over her entire body.
32
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:32,686
500 miles away, Rita
Klaus, a mother of three,
33
00:02:32,786 --> 00:02:35,289
attempts to overcome
the painful debilitating
34
00:02:35,389 --> 00:02:39,393
effects of multiple sclerosis.
35
00:02:39,493 --> 00:02:42,196
Rita Klaus and Jill
Jensen, two women
36
00:02:42,296 --> 00:02:45,499
who have nothing in common,
except a small village in
37
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:47,901
Yugoslavia known as Medjugorje.
38
00:02:51,138 --> 00:02:54,342
Before civil war began
to tear Yugoslavia apart,
39
00:02:54,442 --> 00:02:56,344
the Church of
Medjugorje had drawn
40
00:02:56,444 --> 00:03:00,448
more than 15 million pilgrims,
many of them American.
41
00:03:00,548 --> 00:03:02,250
They came to meet
six young people who
42
00:03:02,350 --> 00:03:04,685
call themselves visionaries.
43
00:03:04,785 --> 00:03:08,722
The six claim that in 1981,
they spoke to the Virgin Mary
44
00:03:08,822 --> 00:03:11,592
on this hill
outside the village.
45
00:03:11,692 --> 00:03:14,061
The following description
by one of the visionaries
46
00:03:14,161 --> 00:03:17,331
has been translated verbatim.
47
00:03:17,431 --> 00:03:19,767
MAN (VOICEOVER): First
the light appears.
48
00:03:19,867 --> 00:03:22,903
Then after the light,
our lady comes.
49
00:03:23,003 --> 00:03:26,139
She's dressed in
gray with a veil.
50
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,710
She has black hair and
is supported on a cloud.
51
00:03:32,946 --> 00:03:34,882
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Four
of the young visionaries still
52
00:03:34,982 --> 00:03:36,717
claim to communicate
with the virgin
53
00:03:36,817 --> 00:03:39,287
at exactly 6:40 PM each day.
54
00:03:41,989 --> 00:03:46,360
Medjugorje has become a virtual
mecca for Catholic pilgrims.
55
00:03:46,460 --> 00:03:49,162
To accommodate the crowds,
makeshift confessionals
56
00:03:49,263 --> 00:03:54,034
are set up both inside
and outside the church.
57
00:03:54,134 --> 00:03:56,570
10 years after the
original epiphany,
58
00:03:56,670 --> 00:03:58,306
hundreds claim they
had been healed
59
00:03:58,406 --> 00:04:03,577
spontaneously at Medjugorje.
60
00:04:03,677 --> 00:04:06,380
This man, Joe Romano,
swears that he was cured
61
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,116
of abdominal cancer after
he and his wife made
62
00:04:09,216 --> 00:04:12,753
three visits to Medjugorje.
63
00:04:12,853 --> 00:04:15,623
Kevin Gible was seven years
old when his parents took him
64
00:04:15,723 --> 00:04:18,191
on a pilgrimage to Yugoslavia.
65
00:04:18,292 --> 00:04:20,294
Since birth, Kevin
had been plagued
66
00:04:20,394 --> 00:04:23,831
with digestive abnormalities,
profoundly weak muscles, and
67
00:04:23,931 --> 00:04:26,367
an inadequate immune system.
68
00:04:26,467 --> 00:04:32,340
Today at age nine, his symptoms
have virtually disappeared.
69
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,943
Char Vance's right leg was
shattered in a farm accident.
70
00:04:36,043 --> 00:04:38,546
She says her doctors told her
it was the worst break they had
71
00:04:38,646 --> 00:04:41,248
ever seen, but she
claims her leg healed
72
00:04:41,349 --> 00:04:43,617
miraculously at Medjugorje.
73
00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:48,822
To most of us, it seems
far-fetched to think that
74
00:04:48,922 --> 00:04:50,524
physical healing
can occur simply
75
00:04:50,624 --> 00:04:54,094
because one travels to the
scene of a religious vision.
76
00:04:54,194 --> 00:04:56,664
Yet for those who watched a
loved one suffer pain which
77
00:04:56,764 --> 00:04:59,066
modern medicine
cannot alleviate,
78
00:04:59,166 --> 00:05:01,469
the hope of a miracle
flickers persistently,
79
00:05:01,569 --> 00:05:04,137
if dimly, at the back
of the logical mind.
80
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:08,141
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Jill Jensen
81
00:05:08,241 --> 00:05:11,945
grew up in an upper middle class
neighborhood outside Chicago.
82
00:05:12,045 --> 00:05:15,449
As a teenager, she began
to experiment with drugs.
83
00:05:15,549 --> 00:05:19,487
Before long, she was
addicted to cocaine.
84
00:05:19,587 --> 00:05:21,722
I don't think that
many days ever went
85
00:05:21,822 --> 00:05:24,958
by without me using cocaine.
86
00:05:25,058 --> 00:05:27,628
I'd carry it in my purse,
I'd conceal it in my jackets,
87
00:05:27,728 --> 00:05:28,762
I'd hide it in my car.
88
00:05:28,862 --> 00:05:31,264
I would never go
anywhere without it.
89
00:05:31,365 --> 00:05:35,703
And I was unable to do anything
without using the drug.
90
00:05:35,803 --> 00:05:38,205
Eventually, it got to the point
where I had to have it to wake
91
00:05:38,305 --> 00:05:40,641
up, I had to have
it to go to sleep,
92
00:05:40,741 --> 00:05:42,910
I had to have it just to
function on a daily basis.
93
00:05:43,010 --> 00:05:47,114
Just to get going,
I had a smoke some.
94
00:05:47,214 --> 00:05:48,882
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
By the time Jill was 26,
95
00:05:48,982 --> 00:05:51,585
she had a $500 a day habit.
96
00:05:51,685 --> 00:05:53,421
She had tried one
drug rehab center
97
00:05:53,521 --> 00:05:56,657
after another to no avail.
98
00:05:56,757 --> 00:05:59,660
Jill now smoked cocaine
in freebase form
99
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,895
because constant
had burned a hole
100
00:06:01,995 --> 00:06:03,263
through the lining of her nose.
101
00:06:06,333 --> 00:06:10,571
JILL JENSEN: It got to the point
where I began to hallucinate.
102
00:06:10,671 --> 00:06:12,840
I would start to see
bugs all over me,
103
00:06:12,940 --> 00:06:15,743
or what I believed to be bugs.
104
00:06:15,843 --> 00:06:19,913
I would feel things all
over me and think that I
105
00:06:20,013 --> 00:06:21,281
had to get them off of me.
106
00:06:21,381 --> 00:06:23,517
No matter what I did, I just
had to get these bugs off me.
107
00:06:23,617 --> 00:06:27,120
So I would rip my skin
open and rip out my hair.
108
00:06:27,220 --> 00:06:31,459
And for years, I had
these sores all over me.
109
00:06:31,559 --> 00:06:34,061
She was scrawny,
she was anorexic,
110
00:06:34,161 --> 00:06:35,529
she had circles under her eyes.
111
00:06:35,629 --> 00:06:37,431
She looked far beyond her years.
112
00:06:37,531 --> 00:06:40,233
At one time, Jill was
beautiful and all heads
113
00:06:40,333 --> 00:06:41,569
would turn when they saw her.
114
00:06:41,669 --> 00:06:45,338
And she did modeling for a
while, but all that left her.
115
00:06:49,643 --> 00:06:52,179
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): In
1988, Jill's Aunt DeeDee made
116
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,748
a pilgrimage to Medjugorje.
117
00:06:54,848 --> 00:06:56,383
When she returned
to the States, she
118
00:06:56,484 --> 00:07:01,489
tried to convince Jill to make
another pilgrimage with her.
119
00:07:01,589 --> 00:07:03,924
A year later, Jill
agreed, even though she
120
00:07:04,024 --> 00:07:06,794
dreaded a 14-hour plane
trip without access
121
00:07:06,894 --> 00:07:09,863
to her precious cocaine.
122
00:07:09,963 --> 00:07:12,700
I didn't know how I was going
to handle the withdrawals.
123
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,067
I'd been through them before--
124
00:07:14,167 --> 00:07:15,769
horrible headache,
sleeplessness,
125
00:07:15,869 --> 00:07:18,906
sometimes terrible nightmares.
126
00:07:19,006 --> 00:07:23,744
When I am able to sleep,
cold sweats, hot flashes--
127
00:07:23,844 --> 00:07:26,580
horrible things,
especially being sick.
128
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,981
I didn't know how it
was going to make it,
129
00:07:28,081 --> 00:07:29,850
but I was willing to try.
130
00:07:29,950 --> 00:07:32,753
Something came over me that
gave me the willingness to try.
131
00:07:35,489 --> 00:07:37,424
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): When
Jill arrived in Medjugorje,
132
00:07:37,525 --> 00:07:39,426
she met with an
American priest in one
133
00:07:39,527 --> 00:07:42,896
of the makeshift confessionals.
134
00:07:42,996 --> 00:07:45,966
I'm not really sure what
I'm supposed to do here.
135
00:07:46,066 --> 00:07:48,468
You say, forgive me,
Father, for I have sinned.
136
00:07:48,569 --> 00:07:49,737
My last confession--
137
00:07:49,837 --> 00:07:51,038
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Although nominally raised
138
00:07:51,138 --> 00:07:52,673
a Catholic, Jill
never had more than a
139
00:07:52,773 --> 00:07:54,508
passing interest in religion.
140
00:07:54,608 --> 00:07:58,445
My last confession was
when I was eight years old.
141
00:07:58,546 --> 00:07:59,947
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
For nearly an hour,
142
00:08:00,047 --> 00:08:03,851
lines backed up while
Jill made her confession.
143
00:08:03,951 --> 00:08:06,654
Next thing I know, I couldn't
go anywhere without the drugs,
144
00:08:06,754 --> 00:08:08,989
I couldn't do anything
without drugs.
145
00:08:09,089 --> 00:08:12,359
And right around then,
that's when the bugs started.
146
00:08:12,459 --> 00:08:15,295
I'm really afraid
of bugs and I'll
147
00:08:15,395 --> 00:08:19,032
do anything to get them off me.
148
00:08:19,132 --> 00:08:21,501
It was evident to him
that I was all torn up.
149
00:08:21,602 --> 00:08:22,903
And I had told him
what had happened
150
00:08:23,003 --> 00:08:26,707
and how I had arrived at
having all these things,
151
00:08:26,807 --> 00:08:28,375
these sores, these open wounds.
152
00:08:28,475 --> 00:08:31,612
And when I was through
with my confession,
153
00:08:31,712 --> 00:08:35,949
he blessed my sores
with holy water.
154
00:08:36,049 --> 00:08:37,484
[speaking latin]
155
00:08:42,255 --> 00:08:44,792
By that evening,
all my sores were
156
00:08:44,892 --> 00:08:47,628
completely closing and healing.
157
00:08:47,728 --> 00:08:49,730
It was amazing.
158
00:08:49,830 --> 00:08:51,699
I didn't feel it happening,
but every time I'd
159
00:08:51,799 --> 00:08:56,003
look down, I would notice that
they were less and less open,
160
00:08:56,103 --> 00:08:57,304
the sores.
161
00:08:57,404 --> 00:08:59,573
And for years, they'd
never, ever gone away.
162
00:08:59,673 --> 00:09:02,142
How are you feeling today?
163
00:09:02,242 --> 00:09:03,577
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Within a few days,
164
00:09:03,677 --> 00:09:06,213
Jill's sores had
almost disappeared.
165
00:09:06,313 --> 00:09:08,115
I can't believe how much
energy I've had all day.
166
00:09:08,215 --> 00:09:09,950
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
She had yet to experience any
167
00:09:10,050 --> 00:09:14,221
of the symptoms of withdrawal.
168
00:09:14,321 --> 00:09:16,857
Her aunt had managed to
arrange a meeting with one
169
00:09:16,957 --> 00:09:18,759
of the Medjugorje
visionaries, who
170
00:09:18,859 --> 00:09:21,795
Jill says blessed her with
a prayer to the Virgin Mary.
171
00:09:24,832 --> 00:09:26,499
[non-english speech]
172
00:09:34,808 --> 00:09:37,477
And she put her hands
on both of our heads
173
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:40,513
and I felt this tremendous
almost like electricity going
174
00:09:40,614 --> 00:09:43,383
through me and this warmth.
175
00:09:43,483 --> 00:09:46,687
I had such a tremendous
sense of well-being.
176
00:09:46,787 --> 00:09:49,389
It was unreal.
177
00:09:49,489 --> 00:09:51,091
For the first time
in my life, I felt
178
00:09:51,191 --> 00:09:53,426
like I had been
freed, that I really
179
00:09:53,526 --> 00:09:55,896
was going to be
able to have a life,
180
00:09:55,996 --> 00:09:57,164
that it was given back to me.
181
00:09:57,264 --> 00:09:59,599
It was a gift.
182
00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:00,868
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Three years
183
00:10:00,968 --> 00:10:04,938
after her trip to Medjugorje,
Jill is still drug-free.
184
00:10:05,038 --> 00:10:07,274
She speaks to school
drug prevention programs
185
00:10:07,374 --> 00:10:09,877
and works as a cosmetologist.
186
00:10:09,977 --> 00:10:13,213
To this day, Jill claims
that she has never suffered
187
00:10:13,313 --> 00:10:17,084
a single symptom of withdrawal.
188
00:10:17,184 --> 00:10:20,187
I think it's very rare
for someone who is as severe
189
00:10:20,287 --> 00:10:23,657
and as late stage as Jill
to just be able to quit.
190
00:10:23,757 --> 00:10:27,060
Certainly, very
unlikely that she could
191
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,529
quit without
experiencing some pretty
192
00:10:29,629 --> 00:10:34,101
severe withdrawal, both
physical and psychological.
193
00:10:34,201 --> 00:10:36,770
I can't tell you exactly
what it was that changed me
194
00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:40,373
completely, but I know that each
and every bit of what I went
195
00:10:40,473 --> 00:10:44,044
through had part to do with
it because I just don't have
196
00:10:44,144 --> 00:10:47,414
an explanation for
why I was able to get
197
00:10:47,514 --> 00:10:50,851
a second chance at life.
198
00:10:50,951 --> 00:10:53,553
It must be pointed out that
thousands of people, none
199
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,222
of whom have ever
heard of Medjugorje,
200
00:10:55,322 --> 00:10:57,657
kick drug habits each year.
201
00:10:57,758 --> 00:11:00,027
Yet Jill Jensen is convinced
that her pilgrimage
202
00:11:00,127 --> 00:11:02,229
was pivotal to her recovery.
203
00:11:02,329 --> 00:11:05,498
Rita Klaus, suffering
from an incurable disease,
204
00:11:05,598 --> 00:11:08,135
also believes that the
Virgin of Medjugorje
205
00:11:08,235 --> 00:11:10,503
interceded to heal
her, even though Rita
206
00:11:10,603 --> 00:11:12,039
never left her own home.
207
00:11:14,875 --> 00:11:16,109
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Rita Klaus had
208
00:11:16,209 --> 00:11:18,812
always devoted herself to God.
209
00:11:18,912 --> 00:11:20,513
At the age of 15,
she had entered
210
00:11:20,613 --> 00:11:23,416
a convent in Omaha, Nebraska.
211
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:25,285
Five years later,
she was diagnosed
212
00:11:25,385 --> 00:11:30,257
with multiple sclerosis, a
degenerative incurable disease.
213
00:11:30,357 --> 00:11:33,393
As her symptoms worsened,
Rita felt she had no choice
214
00:11:33,493 --> 00:11:37,330
but to withdraw from the Order.
215
00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:38,231
I was just heartbroken.
216
00:11:38,331 --> 00:11:39,933
This was my life.
217
00:11:40,033 --> 00:11:45,839
I had spent 13 years
of my 28 years there.
218
00:11:45,939 --> 00:11:47,607
I loved it terribly.
219
00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:50,610
And I knew I wouldn't
see it again.
220
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:52,579
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Rita
moved to Pennsylvania, where
221
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,515
she taught special education.
222
00:11:55,615 --> 00:11:59,319
She soon met Ron Klaus, an
elementary school teacher.
223
00:11:59,419 --> 00:12:02,089
Three years later,
they were married.
224
00:12:02,189 --> 00:12:05,325
Rita's symptoms had disappeared
and she came to believe
225
00:12:05,425 --> 00:12:06,860
she had been misdiagnosed.
226
00:12:10,998 --> 00:12:14,768
Within five years, Ron and
Rita had three daughters.
227
00:12:14,868 --> 00:12:17,237
After the birth of
the youngest, Heidi,
228
00:12:17,337 --> 00:12:20,207
Rita began to experience
symptoms of multiple sclerosis
229
00:12:20,307 --> 00:12:21,608
once again.
230
00:12:21,708 --> 00:12:23,643
She tried to ignore
them, until one
231
00:12:23,743 --> 00:12:28,548
day the muscles in her right
arm weakened uncontrollably.
232
00:12:28,648 --> 00:12:30,918
[baby crying]
233
00:12:34,287 --> 00:12:36,890
Thankfully, Heidi was all
right she had a bruise--
234
00:12:36,990 --> 00:12:39,927
I think she had a bruise
on her shoulder and one
235
00:12:40,027 --> 00:12:42,930
on her back side a little bit.
236
00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:44,631
But other than that,
outside being shaken up,
237
00:12:44,731 --> 00:12:45,698
she was all right.
238
00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:47,134
But I was not all right.
239
00:12:47,234 --> 00:12:53,706
I was so shaken inside and so
afraid, just terribly afraid.
240
00:12:53,807 --> 00:12:55,442
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
This time, Rita's symptoms
241
00:12:55,542 --> 00:12:57,277
did not subside.
242
00:12:57,377 --> 00:13:01,114
By the end of 1984, her vision
was chronically blurred,
243
00:13:01,214 --> 00:13:03,416
her bladder did not
function properly,
244
00:13:03,516 --> 00:13:05,218
and she had lost
virtually all feeling
245
00:13:05,318 --> 00:13:07,654
in her feet and lower legs.
246
00:13:07,754 --> 00:13:09,722
Rita was restricted
to a wheelchair,
247
00:13:09,823 --> 00:13:11,791
and sometimes on
good days, crutches.
248
00:13:16,229 --> 00:13:19,933
RITA KLAUS: Life was a
challenge at this point.
249
00:13:20,033 --> 00:13:22,836
It was impossible to get
upstairs, do the things
250
00:13:22,936 --> 00:13:24,938
that people take for granted.
251
00:13:25,038 --> 00:13:26,706
And I was a strong,
independent person.
252
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:30,878
I didn't want to admit
that I needed help.
253
00:13:30,978 --> 00:13:32,379
I didn't want anyone helping me.
254
00:13:32,479 --> 00:13:34,081
I wanted to be the
one who helped.
255
00:13:36,984 --> 00:13:41,521
It was hard to see her going
downhill, slowly at first
256
00:13:41,621 --> 00:13:46,927
and then at times it seemed
as though it was quicker.
257
00:13:47,027 --> 00:13:50,297
And then there were times where
I seemed to even off and some
258
00:13:50,397 --> 00:13:55,835
of the functions of
her body that she
259
00:13:55,936 --> 00:13:58,838
had lost would come back again.
260
00:13:58,939 --> 00:14:01,208
And it was always false
hope, because within time,
261
00:14:01,308 --> 00:14:03,977
that was gone again.
262
00:14:04,077 --> 00:14:05,378
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): In 1986,
263
00:14:05,478 --> 00:14:09,816
Rita heard about Medjugorje and
began to study the phenomenon.
264
00:14:09,917 --> 00:14:12,019
Rita started praying
to the Virgin Mary
265
00:14:12,119 --> 00:14:15,188
and fasted two days every
week as the young visionaries
266
00:14:15,288 --> 00:14:18,725
said they had been told to do.
267
00:14:18,825 --> 00:14:20,727
Often, I would look at
the books about Medjugorje
268
00:14:20,827 --> 00:14:23,396
and I would think, I
would love to be there.
269
00:14:23,496 --> 00:14:24,731
And then I would look
at myself and say,
270
00:14:24,831 --> 00:14:26,666
but physically, there's
no way I could go;
271
00:14:26,766 --> 00:14:28,936
financially, there's
no way I could go.
272
00:14:29,036 --> 00:14:32,139
And so I didn't go.
273
00:14:32,239 --> 00:14:33,640
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Rita's prayers were
274
00:14:33,740 --> 00:14:35,943
always on behalf of others.
275
00:14:36,043 --> 00:14:39,512
Then one night, she
claims she heard a voice.
276
00:14:39,612 --> 00:14:41,481
ETHEREAL VOICE:
Why don't you ask?
277
00:14:44,551 --> 00:14:46,419
Why don't you ask?
278
00:14:50,958 --> 00:14:54,827
Dear Mary, my mother,
queen of peace, whom I know
279
00:14:54,928 --> 00:14:57,998
is appearing to the
children at Medjugorje,
280
00:14:58,098 --> 00:15:02,535
please ask your son to heal me
any way I need to be healed.
281
00:15:02,635 --> 00:15:04,304
As soon as I
finished the prayer,
282
00:15:04,404 --> 00:15:07,107
I felt this feeling through
my body like electricity.
283
00:15:07,207 --> 00:15:09,576
But it was especially intense
on the right side of my body,
284
00:15:09,676 --> 00:15:11,945
where I had deformities
in the right leg
285
00:15:12,045 --> 00:15:15,315
and I dropped ankles and so on.
286
00:15:15,415 --> 00:15:17,350
And I thought, this
isn't happening to me.
287
00:15:17,450 --> 00:15:18,251
I fell asleep.
288
00:15:21,688 --> 00:15:23,023
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
The next morning,
289
00:15:23,123 --> 00:15:26,826
Rita had no memory of
the voice or the prayer.
290
00:15:26,926 --> 00:15:30,063
At the time, she was taking
a class at the local college
291
00:15:30,163 --> 00:15:32,732
and Ron helped her rid of her
specially-rigged automobile,
292
00:15:32,832 --> 00:15:35,768
as he always did.
293
00:15:35,868 --> 00:15:38,171
Midway through the class,
I felt this rush of heat
294
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:39,706
through my body.
295
00:15:39,806 --> 00:15:42,042
And by the end of
class, I could feel--
296
00:15:42,142 --> 00:15:44,711
I could feel there were
wrinkles inside my shoes.
297
00:15:44,811 --> 00:15:47,747
I could move my toes.
298
00:15:47,847 --> 00:15:51,284
I had not been able to
have my toes for years.
299
00:15:51,384 --> 00:15:52,385
I was dumbfounded.
300
00:15:52,485 --> 00:15:53,620
I remembered nothing
from the night before,
301
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,189
but I knew something
was happening.
302
00:15:56,289 --> 00:15:58,925
I could feel that my
legs seemed to be strong,
303
00:15:59,026 --> 00:16:01,028
I could lift them by myself
so I got myself out of the car
304
00:16:01,128 --> 00:16:03,296
with no problem.
305
00:16:03,396 --> 00:16:05,865
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Rita
rushed home to tell her family.
306
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:08,401
Ron, girls?
307
00:16:08,501 --> 00:16:10,237
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
She had not walked on her own
308
00:16:10,337 --> 00:16:15,008
without help for
more than four years.
309
00:16:15,108 --> 00:16:16,776
As I stood there
looking at the steps,
310
00:16:16,876 --> 00:16:20,280
I had a flashback
and in that flashback
311
00:16:20,380 --> 00:16:21,914
I heard the voice
from the night before,
312
00:16:22,015 --> 00:16:24,717
the prayer that was
given me to say,
313
00:16:24,817 --> 00:16:26,019
and I knew I was
completely healed.
314
00:16:41,068 --> 00:16:42,769
I ran all the way up the steps.
315
00:16:42,869 --> 00:16:45,605
I remember I was screaming
at the top of the steps.
316
00:16:45,705 --> 00:16:47,940
And then I ran down the
steps, out the front door.
317
00:16:48,041 --> 00:16:50,110
I was screaming at the sky, oh,
thank you, god, oh, thank you,
318
00:16:50,210 --> 00:16:51,244
blessed mother.
319
00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:53,346
Look, I can walk.
320
00:16:53,446 --> 00:16:56,049
You're really thinking
that you're not seeing
321
00:16:56,149 --> 00:16:58,818
what you're actually seeing.
322
00:16:58,918 --> 00:17:02,089
You want to be happy, but
you're almost afraid to be happy
323
00:17:02,189 --> 00:17:04,257
because every doctor
that you've ever seen
324
00:17:04,357 --> 00:17:07,094
has said it would never happen.
325
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:12,565
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Six months went by.
326
00:17:12,665 --> 00:17:15,402
Rita's symptoms did not return.
327
00:17:15,502 --> 00:17:18,171
After 15 agonizing
years, she was at last
328
00:17:18,271 --> 00:17:20,807
able to function normally.
329
00:17:20,907 --> 00:17:22,742
Rita and Ron
believe that she was
330
00:17:22,842 --> 00:17:24,477
healed by a miracle of faith.
331
00:17:27,447 --> 00:17:32,185
For this to clear instantly--
332
00:17:32,285 --> 00:17:33,453
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Dr. Richard
333
00:17:33,553 --> 00:17:36,823
Cazdorf is an expert in
so-called spontaneous healings.
334
00:17:36,923 --> 00:17:40,193
--the realm of
medical practice.
335
00:17:40,293 --> 00:17:44,897
This certainly could be
called a miraculous event,
336
00:17:44,997 --> 00:17:48,701
if you want to use
that term, because we
337
00:17:48,801 --> 00:17:55,375
just don't see 20 years of
disability clear instantly.
338
00:17:59,879 --> 00:18:01,848
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): It has
now been six years since Rita
339
00:18:01,948 --> 00:18:04,050
threw away her crutches.
340
00:18:04,151 --> 00:18:07,287
She has never felt another
symptom of multiple sclerosis.
341
00:18:12,525 --> 00:18:15,027
Is Rita Klaus' cure a
miracle that can be described
342
00:18:15,128 --> 00:18:17,630
with a virgin at Medjugorje?
343
00:18:17,730 --> 00:18:19,732
The Catholic Church
is publicly skeptical
344
00:18:19,832 --> 00:18:22,269
but continues to investigate.
345
00:18:22,369 --> 00:18:24,036
On the other hand,
"Webster's Dictionary"
346
00:18:24,137 --> 00:18:27,740
defines a miracle not only
in standard religious terms,
347
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,777
but also simply as
a wonderful thing.
348
00:18:30,877 --> 00:18:33,913
By this definition, Jill
Jensen, drug-free, and Rita
349
00:18:34,013 --> 00:18:36,449
Klaus ice skating,
are miracles even
350
00:18:36,549 --> 00:18:38,551
non-believers can celebrate.
351
00:18:49,095 --> 00:18:50,330
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Bullhead City,
352
00:18:50,430 --> 00:18:52,865
Arizona is a small,
quiet community
353
00:18:52,965 --> 00:18:57,036
nestled along the banks
of the Colorado River.
354
00:18:57,136 --> 00:19:01,674
Sue Johnson moved there
from California in 1973.
355
00:19:01,774 --> 00:19:04,177
She and her husband felt
it was an ideal place
356
00:19:04,277 --> 00:19:06,379
to raise their
children, eight-year-old
357
00:19:06,479 --> 00:19:08,248
Angel and seven-year-old Scott.
358
00:19:08,348 --> 00:19:10,082
Can I go out and play?
359
00:19:10,183 --> 00:19:11,451
Did you do your chores?
360
00:19:11,551 --> 00:19:12,585
Yes, ma'am.
361
00:19:12,685 --> 00:19:14,421
- Did you take out the trash?
- Yes, ma'am.
362
00:19:14,521 --> 00:19:15,922
They loved it.
363
00:19:16,022 --> 00:19:18,425
Scott was a natural
born fisherman.
364
00:19:18,525 --> 00:19:22,629
He loved to fish and go out in
the desert and catch lizards,
365
00:19:22,729 --> 00:19:24,331
catch a snake, whatever.
366
00:19:24,431 --> 00:19:26,266
He was just a desert rat.
367
00:19:26,366 --> 00:19:27,600
He just fell in love with it.
368
00:19:29,969 --> 00:19:31,070
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): 50 yards
369
00:19:31,170 --> 00:19:33,206
from the Johnsons' new
homes stood and abandoned
370
00:19:33,306 --> 00:19:37,143
shack, a powder magazine
once used by copper miners
371
00:19:37,244 --> 00:19:39,346
to store supplies.
372
00:19:39,446 --> 00:19:41,781
Scott and his friends
soon adopted the rundown
373
00:19:41,881 --> 00:19:43,516
shed as their headquarters.
374
00:19:46,686 --> 00:19:48,321
They just played
there, played cops
375
00:19:48,421 --> 00:19:50,890
and robbers and
Indians and cowboys
376
00:19:50,990 --> 00:19:53,693
and whatever else
little boys do.
377
00:19:53,793 --> 00:19:57,330
I never felt any apprehension
towards that building at all.
378
00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:59,599
And it was within
sight of the house,
379
00:19:59,699 --> 00:20:00,900
it wasn't anything
to worry about it.
380
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,636
It was a typical thing that
children would pick to use
381
00:20:03,736 --> 00:20:05,037
for a fort or a clubhouse.
382
00:20:08,841 --> 00:20:12,779
At At 3:45 PM on
April 3rd, 1974,
383
00:20:12,879 --> 00:20:17,417
the Bullhead City Volunteer Fire
Department responded to a call.
384
00:20:17,517 --> 00:20:19,319
The shack was on fire.
385
00:20:24,524 --> 00:20:27,960
18 years later, former
Fire Chief Larry Adams
386
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:29,596
vividly remembers the details.
387
00:20:35,101 --> 00:20:36,636
What I could see
through the smoke
388
00:20:36,736 --> 00:20:43,376
and the steam is what appeared
to be upholstery on the floor.
389
00:20:43,476 --> 00:20:46,413
When I got the pike
pole, I stooped down
390
00:20:46,513 --> 00:20:50,717
to look under the smoke
to hook this material
391
00:20:50,817 --> 00:20:52,151
and drag it out
to extinguish it.
392
00:20:55,688 --> 00:20:58,090
Oh my God.
393
00:20:58,190 --> 00:20:59,492
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Inside the shack
394
00:20:59,592 --> 00:21:02,161
lay the badly burned
bodies of Scott Johnson
395
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:04,096
and one of his friends.
396
00:21:04,196 --> 00:21:08,468
Seven weeks later, the official
coroner's report was released.
397
00:21:08,568 --> 00:21:10,537
It stated that Scott
Johnson and his friend
398
00:21:10,637 --> 00:21:12,672
had died accidentally.
399
00:21:12,772 --> 00:21:16,108
Investigators concluded that the
boys had probably been playing
400
00:21:16,208 --> 00:21:19,812
with matches and gasoline.
401
00:21:19,912 --> 00:21:20,980
I was shocked.
402
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,982
I was very shocked.
403
00:21:23,082 --> 00:21:25,117
My child was certainly
smarter than to just lay
404
00:21:25,217 --> 00:21:29,556
in the back of a building and
wait to be asphyxiated by smoke
405
00:21:29,656 --> 00:21:32,024
or burned by fire.
406
00:21:32,124 --> 00:21:33,693
It's kind of an obvious thing.
407
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:35,595
I always know it was
a murder, always.
408
00:21:39,599 --> 00:21:40,733
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Sue Johnson
409
00:21:40,833 --> 00:21:43,069
was not alone in her opinion.
410
00:21:43,169 --> 00:21:45,705
From the onset, Larry
Adams also believed
411
00:21:45,805 --> 00:21:49,175
that Scott and his friend
were victims of foul play.
412
00:21:49,275 --> 00:21:52,111
In particular, he noticed that
the door of the shack and not
413
00:21:52,211 --> 00:21:54,347
been locked or
obstructed in any way.
414
00:21:57,450 --> 00:22:00,186
LARRY ADAMS: All anybody had
to do to escape that building
415
00:22:00,286 --> 00:22:02,254
was push on the door.
416
00:22:02,355 --> 00:22:06,459
In this case, in a building six
by six in a panic situation,
417
00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:10,162
they would hit that door
and escape the building
418
00:22:10,262 --> 00:22:11,063
had they been able to.
419
00:22:13,900 --> 00:22:16,536
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): A few
feet from the door, Adams found
420
00:22:16,636 --> 00:22:19,271
a two-by-12-inch wooden plank.
421
00:22:19,372 --> 00:22:22,742
Curiously, the board had a
circle burned into one side.
422
00:22:22,842 --> 00:22:25,244
And
423
00:22:25,344 --> 00:22:30,517
LARRY ADAMS: It indicated to
me that somebody had prevented
424
00:22:30,617 --> 00:22:31,818
their escape through that door.
425
00:22:35,121 --> 00:22:39,826
They may have initially tried to
hold the door, but it's metal.
426
00:22:39,926 --> 00:22:42,161
It got hot, they can't
hold the door any longer,
427
00:22:42,261 --> 00:22:47,400
they need something to
insulate them from the heat.
428
00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:53,640
They picked up the two-by-12,
one on each end or more,
429
00:22:53,740 --> 00:22:57,376
and held the two-by- 12 against
the door with one person
430
00:22:57,477 --> 00:22:58,344
on each end of it.
431
00:23:08,187 --> 00:23:10,189
ANNOUNCER: Despite
Larry Adams' findings,
432
00:23:10,289 --> 00:23:13,560
the police closed their
criminal investigation.
433
00:23:13,660 --> 00:23:15,628
As the weeks went
by, Sue Johnson
434
00:23:15,728 --> 00:23:17,497
was haunted by the
burned-out shack
435
00:23:17,597 --> 00:23:19,932
when her son died,
where she believed
436
00:23:20,032 --> 00:23:22,001
her son had been murdered.
437
00:23:22,101 --> 00:23:24,537
For four long years,
she struggled in vain
438
00:23:24,637 --> 00:23:25,738
to have the case reopened.
439
00:23:28,975 --> 00:23:32,579
Then in 1978, a convicted
felon came forward
440
00:23:32,679 --> 00:23:35,114
with shocking new information.
441
00:23:35,214 --> 00:23:37,484
Dale Gordon Meador
was incarcerated
442
00:23:37,584 --> 00:23:40,019
in a county jail in New Mexico.
443
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,022
At the time of the fire,
he'd lived in Bullhead City.
444
00:23:51,698 --> 00:23:53,199
Anytime you talk
to a prisoner that
445
00:23:53,299 --> 00:23:55,234
wants to give you
information, you know he's
446
00:23:55,334 --> 00:23:58,137
trying to get himself a deal.
447
00:23:58,237 --> 00:24:00,573
The man just did not
seem like he was really
448
00:24:00,673 --> 00:24:02,609
telling us all the truth.
449
00:24:02,709 --> 00:24:06,746
There was knowledge there.
450
00:24:06,846 --> 00:24:09,682
We parked about,
say, 50, 75 yards away
451
00:24:09,782 --> 00:24:13,352
from the powder magazine
and seen these two guys--
452
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:14,554
ROBERT L. MELTON:
Meador advised us
453
00:24:14,654 --> 00:24:19,325
that he saw two men holding
these two young kids
454
00:24:19,425 --> 00:24:22,061
and pushing them
into the magazine.
455
00:24:30,336 --> 00:24:32,805
One of the kids looked
like he was heavily drugged
456
00:24:32,905 --> 00:24:37,677
and the other one was fighting.
457
00:24:37,777 --> 00:24:41,247
Then he saw one of the
men with a gas can.
458
00:24:43,916 --> 00:24:47,920
Did you actually see him take
the gas can into the shack?
459
00:24:48,020 --> 00:24:51,157
I didn't see him throwing
the gas into the shack.
460
00:24:51,257 --> 00:24:54,827
After about five or 10
minutes, I noticed both of them
461
00:24:54,927 --> 00:24:58,898
stand up right next to the
house and I whining coming
462
00:24:58,998 --> 00:24:59,866
from one of the two kids.
463
00:25:06,806 --> 00:25:08,274
What do you want?
464
00:25:08,374 --> 00:25:10,476
They said that they was afraid
the kids was going to tell
465
00:25:10,577 --> 00:25:13,012
on them for smoking pot.
466
00:25:13,112 --> 00:25:15,715
Then I saw flames and smoke
coming out of the magazine
467
00:25:15,815 --> 00:25:18,585
and I said, hey, man, I just
want to know what's going on.
468
00:25:21,988 --> 00:25:26,793
One of them told him in
street terms to get lost
469
00:25:26,893 --> 00:25:32,231
and that we just
burned up two kids.
470
00:25:32,331 --> 00:25:34,166
Have you seen either one of
these men since that night?
471
00:25:34,266 --> 00:25:36,502
That was the last time I
saw either of them until--
472
00:25:36,603 --> 00:25:38,204
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Meador told investigators
473
00:25:38,304 --> 00:25:39,806
that he encountered
one of the men
474
00:25:39,906 --> 00:25:42,909
while serving time at a
prison in Nevada two years
475
00:25:43,009 --> 00:25:44,611
after the fire.
476
00:25:44,711 --> 00:25:47,714
Sheriff's deputies questioned
the man Meador identified
477
00:25:47,814 --> 00:25:50,216
as the killer of Scott
Johnson and his friend,
478
00:25:50,316 --> 00:25:54,153
but no charges were ever filed.
479
00:25:54,253 --> 00:25:56,088
It was just an
open close case,
480
00:25:56,188 --> 00:25:57,857
and that's not
really what happened.
481
00:25:57,957 --> 00:25:59,525
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Tena Rhee Moe and John
482
00:25:59,626 --> 00:26:03,029
Kalous reported the fire the
day Scott Johnson and his friend
483
00:26:03,129 --> 00:26:04,263
died.
484
00:26:04,363 --> 00:26:06,833
They, too, are convinced
that the boys were murdered.
485
00:26:10,870 --> 00:26:14,073
At the time, Tina and
John were teenagers.
486
00:26:14,173 --> 00:26:17,376
Their eyewitness account seemed
to corroborate Dale Meador's
487
00:26:17,476 --> 00:26:19,178
chilling version of events.
488
00:26:24,216 --> 00:26:25,384
There was two man.
489
00:26:25,484 --> 00:26:27,654
One was standing on
the side of the hill
490
00:26:27,754 --> 00:26:32,491
facing the door of the
shack and the other one--
491
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:36,128
well, he didn't like the
idea that we were there
492
00:26:36,228 --> 00:26:39,666
and he took off
and went running.
493
00:26:39,766 --> 00:26:43,402
The other man was standing
there and he looked over at John
494
00:26:43,502 --> 00:26:47,339
and I. He just stayed there.
495
00:26:47,439 --> 00:26:50,743
That was what was so eerie,
that he just stared at us like,
496
00:26:50,843 --> 00:26:52,611
well, what are you going to do?
497
00:26:52,712 --> 00:26:55,014
And that's when
I said to Tena,
498
00:26:55,114 --> 00:26:58,417
I think we should go call
the fire department on this.
499
00:26:58,517 --> 00:27:01,754
I think them guys set
this place on fire.
500
00:27:01,854 --> 00:27:02,655
That's when we left.
501
00:27:06,225 --> 00:27:08,160
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): John
and Tena told investigators
502
00:27:08,260 --> 00:27:11,230
about the two men they
had seen; however, they
503
00:27:11,330 --> 00:27:13,332
believe their
statements were ignored
504
00:27:13,432 --> 00:27:16,869
due to their own previous
scrapes with the law.
505
00:27:16,969 --> 00:27:20,439
It didn't seem like it
took it seriously at all.
506
00:27:20,539 --> 00:27:24,076
It seemed like they
didn't believe my story
507
00:27:24,176 --> 00:27:26,779
from my past reputation.
508
00:27:26,879 --> 00:27:31,417
It seemed to me like
they just disregarded it
509
00:27:31,517 --> 00:27:35,187
and I never heard
nothing no more about it.
510
00:27:35,287 --> 00:27:36,889
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
With the passage of time,
511
00:27:36,989 --> 00:27:40,392
the tragedy slowly faded
from public memory.
512
00:27:40,492 --> 00:27:42,361
A number of the
original investigators
513
00:27:42,461 --> 00:27:44,697
retired or moved away.
514
00:27:44,797 --> 00:27:49,668
But Sue Johnson continued a
relentless quest for the truth.
515
00:27:49,769 --> 00:27:53,072
You wonder, was there someone
who wanted this just tucked
516
00:27:53,172 --> 00:27:56,375
away quickly and
for good, or was it
517
00:27:56,475 --> 00:28:02,381
just sloppy investigation
or just circumstances?
518
00:28:02,481 --> 00:28:06,318
I honestly feel that it was a
combination of a lot of things.
519
00:28:06,418 --> 00:28:09,722
I've talked with Sue on the
phone and in person many times.
520
00:28:09,822 --> 00:28:12,058
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): In
1989, newly appointed Chief
521
00:28:12,158 --> 00:28:13,726
of Detectives [inaudible]--
- She understands how I feel.
522
00:28:13,826 --> 00:28:15,494
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
--ordered the case reopened
523
00:28:15,594 --> 00:28:17,196
as a murder investigation.
524
00:28:17,296 --> 00:28:19,966
And I don't understand
how she feels.
525
00:28:20,066 --> 00:28:23,069
And I told her in the
beginning when I started out
526
00:28:23,169 --> 00:28:25,171
that there may not
be an answer to this,
527
00:28:25,271 --> 00:28:26,238
but we're going to keep looking.
528
00:28:30,777 --> 00:28:32,644
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Were
Scott Johnson and his friend
529
00:28:32,745 --> 00:28:34,847
is savagely murdered?
530
00:28:34,947 --> 00:28:38,117
If so, why would someone
kill two young boys
531
00:28:38,217 --> 00:28:39,886
who were not yet 10 years old?
532
00:28:42,554 --> 00:28:44,623
The answers to these
haunting questions
533
00:28:44,723 --> 00:28:46,625
may lie in a
surprising discovery
534
00:28:46,725 --> 00:28:49,962
Scott made near the shock
three weeks before he died.
535
00:28:55,367 --> 00:28:56,836
Look at what I found!
536
00:28:56,936 --> 00:28:58,670
What is it?
537
00:28:58,771 --> 00:29:00,572
It's a $100 bill.
538
00:29:00,672 --> 00:29:02,641
I think that it's possible
that there could have been
539
00:29:02,741 --> 00:29:07,513
someone that used that
area, possibly for a drug
540
00:29:07,613 --> 00:29:09,748
transaction or something.
541
00:29:09,849 --> 00:29:11,217
And maybe the
people that they saw
542
00:29:11,317 --> 00:29:15,621
doing this thought that the
kids would run a block away
543
00:29:15,721 --> 00:29:18,490
to the sheriff's
substation and report them
544
00:29:18,590 --> 00:29:20,459
and therefore, they felt
like they had to do something
545
00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:22,528
to stop it.
546
00:29:22,628 --> 00:29:24,230
If we could
establish a motive,
547
00:29:24,330 --> 00:29:25,932
the reason that these
boys were killed,
548
00:29:26,032 --> 00:29:28,167
it certainly would
help the case.
549
00:29:28,267 --> 00:29:30,269
But the motive is
strictly a matter
550
00:29:30,369 --> 00:29:34,773
of speculation on anybody's
part as far I know.
551
00:29:34,874 --> 00:29:38,677
It's very hard to live
every day of your life
552
00:29:38,777 --> 00:29:40,579
and wonder why your
son was murdered
553
00:29:40,679 --> 00:29:43,582
and why no one's ever
done anything about it
554
00:29:43,682 --> 00:29:44,650
in all these many years.
555
00:29:49,088 --> 00:29:50,722
I hope that whoever
did it gets to pay
556
00:29:50,823 --> 00:29:53,993
for what they did someday.
557
00:29:54,093 --> 00:29:56,495
I don't care how long it takes.
558
00:29:56,595 --> 00:29:58,264
I've been patient
this long, I can wait
559
00:29:58,364 --> 00:30:00,066
longer if that's what it takes.
560
00:30:02,869 --> 00:30:05,537
Even in her victory to have
the investigation reopened,
561
00:30:05,637 --> 00:30:08,207
Sue Johnson has met with defeat.
562
00:30:08,307 --> 00:30:10,742
Many of the case files and
much of the physical evidence
563
00:30:10,843 --> 00:30:14,013
has been misplaced or
long since discarded.
564
00:30:14,113 --> 00:30:15,882
Detectives have
little to go on, save
565
00:30:15,982 --> 00:30:20,486
the faint hope that a new
eyewitness will come forward.
566
00:30:20,586 --> 00:30:21,988
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Next, a young woman
567
00:30:22,088 --> 00:30:24,957
is apparently abducted and
her family fears for her life.
568
00:30:37,569 --> 00:30:40,106
Clinton, Missouri,
population 9,000,
569
00:30:40,206 --> 00:30:42,975
is an idyllic farming community
in the heart of small town
570
00:30:43,075 --> 00:30:46,612
America, the type of place
where everyone knows each other
571
00:30:46,712 --> 00:30:49,748
and feels insulated
from big city crime.
572
00:30:49,848 --> 00:30:53,652
But today a cloud of
uncertainty hovers over Clinton.
573
00:30:53,752 --> 00:30:56,022
A popular young woman
has been abducted
574
00:30:56,122 --> 00:30:59,992
and quite possibly murdered.
575
00:31:00,092 --> 00:31:02,661
Angela Hammond was an
active outgoing 20-year-old,
576
00:31:02,761 --> 00:31:05,331
known to everyone as Angie.
577
00:31:05,431 --> 00:31:08,700
Her family had lived in
Clinton for three generations.
578
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,304
Her fiance, Rob Shafer, was
a star athlete in high school
579
00:31:12,404 --> 00:31:15,407
who looked forward to a
career in the military.
580
00:31:15,507 --> 00:31:19,678
In January of 1991, Rob
gave Angie a diamond ring
581
00:31:19,778 --> 00:31:22,648
and promised that he would
always take care of her.
582
00:31:27,219 --> 00:31:28,887
I had a Take time tonight.
583
00:31:28,988 --> 00:31:31,890
I'm going to go see Kyla now,
so I'll give you a call later.
584
00:31:31,991 --> 00:31:34,193
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
April 4th, 1991.
585
00:31:34,293 --> 00:31:37,263
At around 10:00 PM, Angie
dropped Rob off at his house
586
00:31:37,363 --> 00:31:38,864
after a barbecue.
587
00:31:38,965 --> 00:31:43,435
She promised that she would
phone him a few hours later.
588
00:31:43,535 --> 00:31:45,604
That was about ten o'clock.
589
00:31:45,704 --> 00:31:46,805
I was going to meet
her back up town
590
00:31:46,905 --> 00:31:47,906
as soon as my mom got home.
591
00:31:48,007 --> 00:31:49,275
I was watching my little
brother at the time.
592
00:31:52,945 --> 00:31:55,547
And she called
later on that night.
593
00:31:55,647 --> 00:31:57,849
[phone ringing]
594
00:31:59,285 --> 00:32:00,352
Hello?
ANGIE (ON PHONE): Hi, Rob.
595
00:32:00,452 --> 00:32:02,254
It' Angie.
- Hi.
596
00:32:02,354 --> 00:32:04,390
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
At 11:15, Angie called Rob
597
00:32:04,490 --> 00:32:06,558
from a payphone in
the center of town,
598
00:32:06,658 --> 00:32:08,627
approximately seven
blocks from his house.
599
00:32:08,727 --> 00:32:09,728
I'm in the square.
600
00:32:09,828 --> 00:32:10,963
While we were
talking on the phone,
601
00:32:11,063 --> 00:32:12,531
she mentioned to
me about a truck
602
00:32:12,631 --> 00:32:13,899
circling around the
block, an older model
603
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,367
green Ford pickup truck.
604
00:32:15,467 --> 00:32:18,037
--pickup truck that keeps
circling around the block.
605
00:32:18,137 --> 00:32:19,471
Do you Do you
recognize the truck?
606
00:32:19,571 --> 00:32:20,472
No.
607
00:32:20,572 --> 00:32:22,874
He's probably not
from around here.
608
00:32:22,975 --> 00:32:23,942
Maybe he's just lost.
609
00:32:24,043 --> 00:32:25,277
I guess so.
610
00:32:25,377 --> 00:32:27,079
Anyway, do you still want to
go to the lake this weekend?
611
00:32:27,179 --> 00:32:28,447
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Angie remained
612
00:32:28,547 --> 00:32:33,052
unconcerned until the truck
parked next to the phone booth.
613
00:32:33,152 --> 00:32:36,422
Rob, he's pulling up
next to the phones.
614
00:32:36,522 --> 00:32:38,824
ROB (ON PHONE): What's
the driver look like?
615
00:32:38,924 --> 00:32:40,259
He's kind of dirty-looking.
616
00:32:40,359 --> 00:32:43,262
He's got a mustache,
beard, and glasses
617
00:32:43,362 --> 00:32:45,164
and he's wearing overalls.
618
00:32:45,264 --> 00:32:47,699
He's coming to the phones.
619
00:32:47,799 --> 00:32:50,036
The track is a late
model green pickup
620
00:32:50,136 --> 00:32:52,871
truck with one of
those decals that
621
00:32:52,971 --> 00:32:54,640
cover the whole back window.
622
00:32:54,740 --> 00:32:57,243
It looks like a lake
scene with a fish
623
00:32:57,343 --> 00:32:59,378
jumping out of the water.
624
00:32:59,478 --> 00:33:01,647
What's he doing now, Angie?
625
00:33:01,747 --> 00:33:05,617
ROB: He used the phone next
to her, got back in his truck,
626
00:33:05,717 --> 00:33:07,186
and looked at something
with a flashlight.
627
00:33:07,286 --> 00:33:08,620
She described the
flashlight to me what
628
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,322
he was looking for something.
629
00:33:10,422 --> 00:33:11,557
I had her turn
around and ask him
630
00:33:11,657 --> 00:33:13,159
if he needed to use the
phone, maybe the other phone
631
00:33:13,259 --> 00:33:14,526
was broke.
632
00:33:14,626 --> 00:33:17,663
And he said, no, he was just
going to try again in a minute.
633
00:33:17,763 --> 00:33:19,565
Maybe I should
come down there.
634
00:33:19,665 --> 00:33:20,466
Oh, Rob.
635
00:33:20,566 --> 00:33:23,535
No, I'm sure it's OK.
636
00:33:23,635 --> 00:33:26,105
Then we just talked
about other things.
637
00:33:26,205 --> 00:33:28,574
We weren't too worried about it.
638
00:33:28,674 --> 00:33:30,442
And that's when I heard
a scream on the phone.
639
00:33:30,542 --> 00:33:32,311
[scream]
640
00:33:35,647 --> 00:33:38,250
I heard a scream and the only
thing that went through my mind
641
00:33:38,350 --> 00:33:40,486
is getting up there and finding
out what the hell's going on.
642
00:33:43,322 --> 00:33:45,557
I ran out of the house and
just dropped the phone.
643
00:33:45,657 --> 00:33:49,428
I didn't hang the phone back
up and just headed up there.
644
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,769
I saw a pickup truck going
past me and then me somebody
645
00:33:57,869 --> 00:33:59,505
yelled out the window, Robbie.
646
00:33:59,605 --> 00:34:00,806
That's how I knew it was them.
647
00:34:00,906 --> 00:34:01,873
Robbie!
648
00:34:01,973 --> 00:34:02,774
Angie!
649
00:34:23,962 --> 00:34:25,231
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Rob pursued
650
00:34:25,331 --> 00:34:28,134
the pickup straight through
the downtown business district.
651
00:34:28,234 --> 00:34:30,702
He had no idea than when he
threw his car into reverse,
652
00:34:30,802 --> 00:34:33,172
he had severely damaged
the transmission.
653
00:34:36,108 --> 00:34:38,076
When the pickup made
a sharp right turn,
654
00:34:38,177 --> 00:34:39,578
Rob's car finally gave out.
655
00:34:48,854 --> 00:34:51,223
I chased him about 10 miles.
656
00:34:51,323 --> 00:34:53,125
The transmission failed.
657
00:34:53,225 --> 00:34:56,795
It started dying as I was
making my turn to the right.
658
00:34:56,895 --> 00:34:57,896
This guy turned
off to the right.
659
00:34:57,996 --> 00:34:59,465
All I saw was brake
lights and dust.
660
00:35:10,942 --> 00:35:13,912
Rob blamed himself for it
because he always told her he'd
661
00:35:14,012 --> 00:35:15,647
be there to take care of her.
662
00:35:15,747 --> 00:35:18,617
And he tried, he did
everything that could be done.
663
00:35:18,717 --> 00:35:20,819
Nobody blames him,
but I think he
664
00:35:20,919 --> 00:35:23,989
thinks that people blame him.
665
00:35:24,089 --> 00:35:27,626
The beginning is the
hardest because you know
666
00:35:27,726 --> 00:35:30,962
you were close
enough to get them
667
00:35:31,062 --> 00:35:34,800
but you just didn't
get the job done.
668
00:35:34,900 --> 00:35:37,969
And you still wake up at nights
wondering where she's at,
669
00:35:38,069 --> 00:35:39,438
wondering what
happened, wondering
670
00:35:39,538 --> 00:35:40,672
if anybody is still looking.
671
00:35:40,772 --> 00:35:41,573
Rob!
672
00:35:51,217 --> 00:35:52,150
You just wonder all the time.
673
00:35:56,121 --> 00:35:58,023
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): News
of Angie's disappearance sent
674
00:35:58,123 --> 00:36:00,091
shock waves through Clinton.
675
00:36:00,192 --> 00:36:01,827
The police and
hundreds of citizens
676
00:36:01,927 --> 00:36:04,430
launched an extensive
air and land search,
677
00:36:04,530 --> 00:36:07,966
but there was no sign of
Angela Hammond, her abductor,
678
00:36:08,066 --> 00:36:10,436
or the pickup truck.
679
00:36:10,536 --> 00:36:13,038
We had some assistance from
the Missouri State Highway
680
00:36:13,138 --> 00:36:15,441
Patrol that did
a computer search
681
00:36:15,541 --> 00:36:20,246
on all registered vehicles with
make and the approximate year.
682
00:36:20,346 --> 00:36:23,982
Through their helping, we
had like 1,600 possibilities
683
00:36:24,082 --> 00:36:29,187
that we had to look after,
checking wherever these trucks
684
00:36:29,288 --> 00:36:31,257
were at as far as
color and if they
685
00:36:31,357 --> 00:36:36,628
had any mural in the back
window, with no success.
686
00:36:36,728 --> 00:36:37,896
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): The police
687
00:36:37,996 --> 00:36:41,199
based their investigation
on Rob Shafer's testimony.
688
00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:44,870
But no witnesses could be found
to corroborate his statement,
689
00:36:44,970 --> 00:36:47,939
Rob became a suspect himself.
690
00:36:48,039 --> 00:36:50,909
I think it was natural
that people wondered, did
691
00:36:51,009 --> 00:36:53,312
the boyfriend do it type thing.
692
00:36:53,412 --> 00:36:57,048
But my feeling, I've known
this kid all his life
693
00:36:57,148 --> 00:37:00,419
and I never doubted
for a minute that he
694
00:37:00,519 --> 00:37:03,455
had anything to do with it.
695
00:37:03,555 --> 00:37:04,756
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Within a week,
696
00:37:04,856 --> 00:37:06,925
Rob Shafer was cleared
of any involvement
697
00:37:07,025 --> 00:37:09,160
in Angie's disappearance.
698
00:37:09,261 --> 00:37:11,963
Two days later, the police
connected the abduction
699
00:37:12,063 --> 00:37:16,668
in Clinton to two other unsolved
cases within a 100-mile radius.
700
00:37:16,768 --> 00:37:18,970
The first occurred near
Macks Creek, Missouri
701
00:37:19,070 --> 00:37:21,006
on January 19th, 1991.
702
00:37:21,106 --> 00:37:24,175
I'm ready to close up, but
there's a man hanging around
703
00:37:24,276 --> 00:37:27,379
outside for a while now and I'm
really starting to get nervous.
704
00:37:27,479 --> 00:37:29,080
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
42-year-old Trudy d'Arby
705
00:37:29,180 --> 00:37:31,917
was working alone in
a convenience store.
706
00:37:32,017 --> 00:37:35,687
Around 10:00 PM, she called her
son to report a suspicious man
707
00:37:35,787 --> 00:37:37,656
lurking outside.
708
00:37:37,756 --> 00:37:39,691
Less than 10 minutes
later, Trudy's son
709
00:37:39,791 --> 00:37:44,630
arrived at the store and
found it completely deserted.
710
00:37:44,730 --> 00:37:46,598
Two days later,
the body of Trudy
711
00:37:46,698 --> 00:37:50,669
d'Arby was found on a riverbank
10 miles from the store.
712
00:37:50,769 --> 00:37:54,205
She had been shot
twice in the head.
713
00:37:54,306 --> 00:37:57,676
Then on February 28,
30-year-old Cheryl Ann Kenny
714
00:37:57,776 --> 00:37:59,911
was reported missing
in Nevada, Missouri,
715
00:38:00,011 --> 00:38:01,647
70 miles from Mack's Creek.
716
00:38:05,183 --> 00:38:07,486
She vanished shortly after
closing up the convenience
717
00:38:07,586 --> 00:38:09,321
store where she worked.
718
00:38:09,421 --> 00:38:13,058
That night, Cheryl's car was
found in the store parking lot.
719
00:38:13,158 --> 00:38:15,394
She has not been seen since.
720
00:38:15,494 --> 00:38:17,796
Less than one month
later, Angela Hammond
721
00:38:17,896 --> 00:38:18,697
would be abducted.
722
00:38:22,601 --> 00:38:26,438
If Angela is found,
it might provide
723
00:38:26,538 --> 00:38:30,509
that link that they are related
to, for example, Trudy d'Arby.
724
00:38:30,609 --> 00:38:33,144
Or if Cheryl is
found, it maybe that
725
00:38:33,244 --> 00:38:38,149
would be a connection to Trudy
d'Arby, how she was murdered.
726
00:38:38,249 --> 00:38:39,518
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Authorities
727
00:38:39,618 --> 00:38:42,153
now fear that a serial killer
may be on the loose in west
728
00:38:42,253 --> 00:38:44,523
central Missouri.
729
00:38:44,623 --> 00:38:47,258
Even though they hold out little
hope that either Cheryl Ann
730
00:38:47,359 --> 00:38:50,261
Kenny or Angela Hammond
are still alive,
731
00:38:50,362 --> 00:38:51,930
there have been
unconfirmed sightings
732
00:38:52,030 --> 00:38:55,066
of Angela in several states
and most recently, Canada.
733
00:39:03,675 --> 00:39:06,745
If anybody out
there sees anything,
734
00:39:06,845 --> 00:39:12,884
if they could put themselves in
our place and know how we feel,
735
00:39:12,984 --> 00:39:16,254
how heart-wrenching it
is that she was taken,
736
00:39:16,354 --> 00:39:18,657
even if the guy that
took her sees this,
737
00:39:18,757 --> 00:39:22,994
if he would just call and let
them know what he did with her.
738
00:39:23,094 --> 00:39:25,464
There's one final chilling
detail in the abduction
739
00:39:25,564 --> 00:39:27,365
of Angela Hammond.
740
00:39:27,466 --> 00:39:29,234
After she screamed
into the phone,
741
00:39:29,334 --> 00:39:31,503
Rob Shafer heard
another person speak,
742
00:39:31,603 --> 00:39:33,772
most likely her abductor.
743
00:39:33,872 --> 00:39:38,143
All he said was, I didn't
need to use the phone anyway.
744
00:39:38,243 --> 00:39:40,946
Before she disappeared,
Angie describe the suspect
745
00:39:41,046 --> 00:39:43,682
as a filthy, bearded
man who wore glasses
746
00:39:43,782 --> 00:39:44,750
and was dressed in overalls.
747
00:39:48,787 --> 00:39:50,021
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): The suspect
748
00:39:50,121 --> 00:39:54,660
was driving a late 1960s,
early 1970s two-tone green Ford
749
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,161
pickup truck.
750
00:39:56,261 --> 00:39:58,029
The back window was
completely covered
751
00:39:58,129 --> 00:40:01,266
by an opaque decal of a
fish jumping out of water
752
00:40:01,366 --> 00:40:02,601
which may look like this.
753
00:40:14,980 --> 00:40:18,784
When we return, a bank fraud
investigator disappears
754
00:40:18,884 --> 00:40:19,885
in the Arizona desert.
755
00:40:30,796 --> 00:40:33,832
May 5th, 1990, 7:00 AM.
756
00:40:33,932 --> 00:40:36,868
In the middle of the desolate
Arizona desert, 100 miles
757
00:40:36,968 --> 00:40:40,772
southeast of Phoenix, a crime
is committed far from the eyes
758
00:40:40,872 --> 00:40:42,307
of potential witnesses.
759
00:41:10,468 --> 00:41:12,704
Less than half an hour
later, a deputy sheriff
760
00:41:12,804 --> 00:41:14,673
finds the burning car.
761
00:41:14,773 --> 00:41:16,842
Authorities believe the
arsonist was covering
762
00:41:16,942 --> 00:41:20,445
up a bigger crime, murder.
763
00:41:20,546 --> 00:41:22,247
The car was
burned to the ground
764
00:41:22,347 --> 00:41:25,183
and the fact is that had
there been any evidence
765
00:41:25,283 --> 00:41:28,186
in the car such as blood,
we weren't able to tell
766
00:41:28,286 --> 00:41:31,557
because of the burning.
767
00:41:31,657 --> 00:41:32,924
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
The car's owner
768
00:41:33,024 --> 00:41:36,294
was 56-year-old Lee Young,
a bank fraud investigator
769
00:41:36,394 --> 00:41:38,964
from Scottsdale, Arizona.
770
00:41:39,064 --> 00:41:41,933
He was nowhere to be found.
771
00:41:42,033 --> 00:41:44,302
When they gave me the
information the car was burned
772
00:41:44,402 --> 00:41:50,241
and Lee wasn't there,
then my wildest fears
773
00:41:50,341 --> 00:41:52,878
just became a reality.
774
00:41:52,978 --> 00:41:54,445
Because you live
with that every day,
775
00:41:54,546 --> 00:41:58,083
that something could
happen, but you just don't
776
00:41:58,183 --> 00:42:00,318
really believe it ever will.
777
00:42:00,418 --> 00:42:02,287
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Police
feared the worst, that Lee
778
00:42:02,387 --> 00:42:04,022
Young had been murdered.
779
00:42:04,122 --> 00:42:06,692
The most obvious
motive, robbery.
780
00:42:06,792 --> 00:42:10,395
Young always wore a
distinctive $25,000 Rolex watch
781
00:42:10,495 --> 00:42:12,497
and carried large
amounts of cash
782
00:42:12,598 --> 00:42:17,368
so he could buy jewelry, which
he sold in his spare time.
783
00:42:17,468 --> 00:42:19,204
When Police searched
the car, they
784
00:42:19,304 --> 00:42:22,073
were surprised to find thousands
of dollars' worth of jewelry
785
00:42:22,173 --> 00:42:23,742
still in the trunk.
786
00:42:23,842 --> 00:42:27,145
Young's family suspected a
scenario far more sinister
787
00:42:27,245 --> 00:42:30,115
than a simple robbery.
788
00:42:30,215 --> 00:42:32,217
The only thing missing
out of the trunk of that car
789
00:42:32,317 --> 00:42:35,687
that I am aware of
is the briefcase
790
00:42:35,787 --> 00:42:38,156
that carried his files.
791
00:42:38,256 --> 00:42:40,826
So that makes me believe that
it wasn't robbery motive,
792
00:42:40,926 --> 00:42:45,931
it was job-related,
case-related of some sort.
793
00:42:48,233 --> 00:42:49,467
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Several months
794
00:42:49,567 --> 00:42:52,037
before he disappeared,
Lee Young had contacted
795
00:42:52,137 --> 00:42:54,840
federal agents who dealt
with drug smuggling.
796
00:42:54,940 --> 00:42:57,175
Young suspected that
his bank was being used
797
00:42:57,275 --> 00:42:59,377
by a money laundering ring.
798
00:42:59,477 --> 00:43:01,647
During the week
before he disappeared,
799
00:43:01,747 --> 00:43:03,615
Young tried to reach
the agents a number
800
00:43:03,715 --> 00:43:05,316
of times without success.
801
00:43:05,416 --> 00:43:07,686
--from South America
through New York.
802
00:43:07,786 --> 00:43:10,221
He was involved in
one particular case
803
00:43:10,321 --> 00:43:15,160
investigating a major
drug cartel in Colombia.
804
00:43:15,260 --> 00:43:19,330
And he had been involved in this
investigation within six months
805
00:43:19,430 --> 00:43:21,867
prior to his
disappearance and the case
806
00:43:21,967 --> 00:43:23,769
was still ongoing,
as a matter of fact,
807
00:43:23,869 --> 00:43:28,239
at the time of
his disappearance.
808
00:43:28,339 --> 00:43:29,975
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
On May 4th, 1990,
809
00:43:30,075 --> 00:43:34,045
Lee Young left a restaurant
in Scottsdale around 12:30 PM.
810
00:43:34,145 --> 00:43:35,413
He was never seen again.
811
00:43:38,717 --> 00:43:42,153
That afternoon, a single call
came in over his car phone
812
00:43:42,253 --> 00:43:45,356
and three calls went
out, one to a phone booth
813
00:43:45,456 --> 00:43:48,226
and the others to a woman
who denied ever having talked
814
00:43:48,326 --> 00:43:51,529
to Lee Young on the telephone.
815
00:43:51,629 --> 00:43:53,564
I don't know for a fact
that Lee made these calls.
816
00:43:53,665 --> 00:43:59,838
In fact, it's possible that
Lee was taken down prior to two
817
00:43:59,938 --> 00:44:02,207
o'clock Friday afternoon
and that the three
818
00:44:02,307 --> 00:44:08,880
calls made after two o'clock
were made by somebody else.
819
00:44:08,980 --> 00:44:10,315
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Lee Young' family
820
00:44:10,415 --> 00:44:12,083
believes that he was
kidnapped by someone
821
00:44:12,183 --> 00:44:15,787
who wanted to destroy his bank
fraud investigation records.
822
00:44:15,887 --> 00:44:19,190
They think that person, not Lee
Young, made the phone calls.
823
00:44:28,199 --> 00:44:31,269
Everything points to the
fact that Lee's not alive.
824
00:44:31,369 --> 00:44:35,941
My heart still says he's
out there somewhere,
825
00:44:36,041 --> 00:44:40,611
but logic tells me he's not.
826
00:44:40,712 --> 00:44:42,513
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
What happened to Lee Young?
827
00:44:42,613 --> 00:44:44,716
Was he killed in
a robbery attempt,
828
00:44:44,816 --> 00:44:46,885
or did he inadvertently
become the victim
829
00:44:46,985 --> 00:44:51,022
of one of his old bank
fraud investigations?
830
00:44:51,122 --> 00:44:52,858
Connie Young clings
to the slim hope
831
00:44:52,958 --> 00:44:56,828
that someone saw her husband's
plum-colored 1985 Lincoln Town
832
00:44:56,928 --> 00:44:59,931
Car between the time he
left the restaurant on May
833
00:45:00,031 --> 00:45:02,400
4th, 1990 and the
time the car was
834
00:45:02,500 --> 00:45:05,003
found in flames the next day.
835
00:45:05,103 --> 00:45:07,238
She also hopes someone
might have information
836
00:45:07,338 --> 00:45:09,707
about his copper-faced
Rolex watch,
837
00:45:09,808 --> 00:45:12,811
which has diamonds encircling
the face and studding the band.
838
00:45:28,593 --> 00:45:31,462
On our next "Unsolved
Mysteries," for years
839
00:45:31,562 --> 00:45:35,867
legendary tales have circulated
about the abominable snowman,
840
00:45:35,967 --> 00:45:37,335
a frightening
human-like creature
841
00:45:37,435 --> 00:45:40,638
said to roam the high
plateaus of the Himalayas.
842
00:45:40,738 --> 00:45:42,974
But for the natives
of this isolated land,
843
00:45:43,074 --> 00:45:46,244
the snowman is all
too real, a half man,
844
00:45:46,344 --> 00:45:48,279
half ape known as yeti.
845
00:45:48,379 --> 00:45:51,749
Is he a mythological monster
or a distant relative of man?
846
00:45:54,986 --> 00:45:57,555
Join us next time
for another edition
847
00:45:57,655 --> 00:45:58,857
of "Unsolved Mysteries."
