00:10:52,185 --> 00:10:56,656 When my mom told me that we were leaving outside and I wish 187 00:10:56,757 --> 00:10:57,925 we didn't have to leave. 188 00:11:02,095 --> 00:11:03,864 ROBERT STACK: The fire was devastating. 189 00:11:03,964 --> 00:11:06,033 It burned out of control for three days, 190 00:11:06,133 --> 00:11:13,206 and consumed more than 9,000 acres of timberland. 191 00:11:13,306 --> 00:11:16,109 From their home in Duluth, 100 miles away, 192 00:11:16,209 --> 00:11:18,611 the Riesgrafs could do little more than wait, 193 00:11:18,712 --> 00:11:21,414 and hope for the best. 194 00:11:21,514 --> 00:11:23,951 JOHN RIESGRAF: We had called Susan's father, 195 00:11:24,051 --> 00:11:27,788 and I had asked him to go back to the cabin a few times, 196 00:11:27,888 --> 00:11:31,224 because I thought they would come back to the cabin. 197 00:11:31,324 --> 00:11:34,627 And I thought that would be our best hope, but-- 198 00:11:34,728 --> 00:11:39,066 and he had done that, and had not seen anything. 199 00:11:39,166 --> 00:11:41,001 Okay honey, what do you want to pray for tonight? 200 00:11:41,101 --> 00:11:42,402 ROBERT STACK: Hannah, however, refused 201 00:11:42,502 --> 00:11:44,404 to give in to the unthinkable. 202 00:11:44,504 --> 00:11:47,140 Especially in the case of Lady, her favorite. 203 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,177 Please help Lady find her way home. 204 00:11:50,277 --> 00:11:53,646 Please protect her and keep her safe. 205 00:11:53,747 --> 00:11:56,549 Please bring her home very soon, amen. 206 00:11:56,649 --> 00:11:59,619 HANNAH RIESGRAF: Every night in my bed I would pray, because I 207 00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:01,621 knew that the Lord, if it was his will, 208 00:12:01,721 --> 00:12:04,391 that she would come home. 209 00:12:04,491 --> 00:12:07,027 And I felt that she would. 210 00:12:11,198 --> 00:12:13,934 ROBERT STACK: Almost two weeks after Lady disappeared, 211 00:12:14,034 --> 00:12:16,736 a hungry, bedraggled collie wandered up to a house 212 00:12:16,837 --> 00:12:18,772 on the outskirts of Duluth. 213 00:12:18,872 --> 00:12:21,741 Incredibly, Hannah's prayers had been answered. 214 00:12:21,842 --> 00:12:22,742 Where'd you come from? 215 00:12:22,843 --> 00:12:24,011 Hello. 216 00:12:24,111 --> 00:12:25,745 Well, let me see, have you got a collar? 217 00:12:29,116 --> 00:12:31,518 Oh, I got it honey. 218 00:12:31,618 --> 00:12:33,987 Hello? 219 00:12:34,087 --> 00:12:37,190 Yes, this is the Riesgraf family. 220 00:12:37,290 --> 00:12:38,091 What? 221 00:12:38,191 --> 00:12:39,726 Wait, you found Lady? 222 00:12:39,827 --> 00:12:40,928 They found Lady? 223 00:12:41,028 --> 00:12:42,362 SUSAN RIESGRAF: Out of the blue, some folks 224 00:12:42,462 --> 00:12:46,033 that were about 15 miles from our house 225 00:12:46,133 --> 00:12:49,136 called and said, your dog is in our yard. 226 00:12:49,236 --> 00:12:50,603 And I said, what. 227 00:12:50,703 --> 00:12:53,206 And they said, your dog's a collie, her name is Lady, 228 00:12:53,306 --> 00:12:54,607 is this the telephone number? 229 00:12:54,707 --> 00:12:55,809 And I said, yes. 230 00:12:55,909 --> 00:12:58,912 And I said, do you realize this dog has traveled 231 00:12:59,012 --> 00:13:01,081 a long way to get to your yard? 232 00:13:06,353 --> 00:13:08,956 ROBERT STACK: Finally, after 13 days apart, 233 00:13:09,056 --> 00:13:10,858 Lady was reunited with her family. 234 00:13:18,331 --> 00:13:21,534 HANNAH RIESGRAF: I felt really happy that she was back. 235 00:13:21,634 --> 00:13:24,938 And that she would be with our family again. 236 00:13:25,038 --> 00:13:25,839 I was happy. 237 00:13:29,209 --> 00:13:30,577 ROBERT STACK: Lady's amazing adventure 238 00:13:30,677 --> 00:13:32,679 made headlines in Duluth. 239 00:13:32,779 --> 00:13:35,949 Before long, several people contacted the Riesgrafs, 240 00:13:36,049 --> 00:13:38,785 and they learned just how far Lady had traveled 241 00:13:38,886 --> 00:13:40,253 to make her way back home. 242 00:13:44,757 --> 00:13:46,960 A few days after Lady's disappearance, 243 00:13:47,060 --> 00:13:51,698 a railroad worker spotted a collie 30 miles from the cabin. 244 00:13:51,798 --> 00:13:55,535 The dog was following a set of tracks leading east. 245 00:13:55,635 --> 00:14:00,073 What's a dog like that doing out here? 246 00:14:00,173 --> 00:14:01,174 ROBERT STACK: The eyewitness said 247 00:14:01,274 --> 00:14:03,076 that when he tried to approach the dog, 248 00:14:03,176 --> 00:14:06,346 she avoided him and remained steadfast on her course. 249 00:14:09,516 --> 00:14:11,818 About a week later, another eyewitness 250 00:14:11,919 --> 00:14:14,521 spotted a collie near an old logging trail, 251 00:14:14,621 --> 00:14:16,789 approximately 15 miles from Duluth. 252 00:14:19,792 --> 00:14:23,396 Lady's incredible journey had begun here at the cabin. 253 00:14:23,496 --> 00:14:26,099 The Riesgrafs now believe that as the fire spread, 254 00:14:26,199 --> 00:14:29,970 she may have traveled east into the Superior National Forest. 255 00:14:30,070 --> 00:14:33,540 She then swung south towards the city of Isabella. 256 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,177 Over the next few days, Lady was spotted by the railroad worker, 257 00:14:37,277 --> 00:14:40,347 and later along the old logging trail. 258 00:14:40,447 --> 00:14:43,850 Eventually, Lady ended up on the outskirts of Duluth. 259 00:14:43,951 --> 00:14:46,987 Altogether, she had traveled more than 150 miles. 260 00:14:50,690 --> 00:14:53,626 The Riesgrafs have no doubt that Lady would have made her way 261 00:14:53,726 --> 00:14:55,495 to their house if she had not been 262 00:14:55,595 --> 00:14:58,999 taken in by the kindly couple. 263 00:14:59,099 --> 00:15:02,569 SUSAN RIESGRAF: She's found her home and she's there to stay. 264 00:15:02,669 --> 00:15:06,173 Since this long walk home, she stays home. 265 00:15:06,273 --> 00:15:09,376 It's like she realized who-- this is my family, 266 00:15:09,476 --> 00:15:12,579 and we just appreciate her a whole lot more. 267 00:15:15,382 --> 00:15:17,017 ROBERT STACK: Unfortunately, the Riesgrafs 268 00:15:17,117 --> 00:15:20,553 still do not know what happened to their other dog Wolfka. 269 00:15:20,653 --> 00:15:22,956 They can only hope that he is safe, perhaps 270 00:15:23,056 --> 00:15:24,491 adopted by a caring stranger. 271 00:15:27,227 --> 00:15:30,397 Why Lady was successful in her journey, and Wolfka was not, 272 00:15:30,497 --> 00:15:32,499 is one of life's mysteries. 273 00:15:32,599 --> 00:15:35,568 Perhaps, just perhaps, Lady's success 274 00:15:35,668 --> 00:15:37,470 can be attributed to the powerful force 275 00:15:37,570 --> 00:15:38,838 she had guiding her. 276 00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:40,340 The love of the small child. 277 00:15:44,177 --> 00:15:47,714 When we return-- strange lights in the night sky. 278 00:15:47,814 --> 00:15:51,518 UFOs, or secret aircraft developed by our military? 279 00:15:55,888 --> 00:15:57,957 At one time or another, we have all looked up 280 00:15:58,058 --> 00:15:59,659 at the night sky and seen something 281 00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:02,195 which we just cannot explain. 282 00:16:02,295 --> 00:16:05,098 Recently there's been a rash of such sightings. 283 00:16:05,198 --> 00:16:07,667 Unidentifiable lights and objects that seem to move 284 00:16:07,767 --> 00:16:09,836 like nothing known to man. 285 00:16:09,936 --> 00:16:12,072 Some say they are UFOs. 286 00:16:12,172 --> 00:16:14,407 Others speculate that they are a new generation 287 00:16:14,507 --> 00:16:18,878 of sophisticated military aircraft. 288 00:16:18,978 --> 00:16:21,281 This video was shot by a camera crew hired 289 00:16:21,381 --> 00:16:23,716 by Aviation Week magazine. 290 00:16:23,816 --> 00:16:26,586 Eyewitnesses say it shows a pencil thin aircraft, 291 00:16:26,686 --> 00:16:29,222 trailing balls of golden light. 292 00:16:29,322 --> 00:16:31,758 Some believe it is evidence of an exotic new propulsion 293 00:16:31,858 --> 00:16:32,659 system. 294 00:16:36,429 --> 00:16:39,432 In this footage, a conventional airplane-- seen here-- 295 00:16:39,532 --> 00:16:42,335 was being filmed, when a mysterious object suddenly 296 00:16:42,435 --> 00:16:43,836 appeared. 297 00:16:43,936 --> 00:16:45,938 The object traveled at a high rate of speed 298 00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:50,677 and exhibited pinpoint maneuverability. 299 00:16:50,777 --> 00:16:53,380 In this haunting image, several eyewitnesses 300 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,616 observed an unusual light source, possibly an aircraft, 301 00:16:56,716 --> 00:16:58,151 hovering over the Nevada desert. 302 00:17:02,089 --> 00:17:04,091 And here, an unknown wedge shaped 303 00:17:04,191 --> 00:17:08,495 object, which made no noise, flies over Roswell, New Mexico. 304 00:17:08,595 --> 00:17:10,597 The footage was shot by a man named Steven 305 00:17:10,697 --> 00:17:13,700 Douglass of Amarillo, Texas. 306 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:14,801 STEVEN DOUGLASS: People have been 307 00:17:14,901 --> 00:17:18,405 sighting and witnessing aircraft that can 308 00:17:18,505 --> 00:17:20,573 do fantastic, amazing things. 309 00:17:20,673 --> 00:17:24,111 I mean, high speed, stop on a dime, 310 00:17:24,211 --> 00:17:28,748 turn like a ballet dancer, or move incredibly slow. 311 00:17:28,848 --> 00:17:31,984 The mystery behind this is, there seems 312 00:17:32,085 --> 00:17:35,622 to be some aircraft that have some fantastic 313 00:17:35,722 --> 00:17:40,560 flying abilities, that seem to be a quantum leap over anything 314 00:17:40,660 --> 00:17:41,928 that's previously known. 315 00:17:46,433 --> 00:17:47,600 ROBERT STACK: Steven Douglass spends 316 00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:49,969 much of his time trying to unravel the mystery 317 00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:52,705 of these unidentified aircraft. 318 00:17:52,805 --> 00:17:54,674 Douglass is an aviation enthusiast 319 00:17:54,774 --> 00:17:59,312 and journalist, who publishes a newsletter called Intercepts. 320 00:17:59,412 --> 00:18:02,081 Douglass believes that the mysterious lights are, in fact, 321 00:18:02,182 --> 00:18:05,418 experimental military jets, which are being kept 322 00:18:05,518 --> 00:18:08,788 under wraps just as the legendary stealth fighter was 323 00:18:08,888 --> 00:18:11,724 for nearly a decade. 324 00:18:11,824 --> 00:18:14,694 Until it was publicly unveiled in 1988, 325 00:18:14,794 --> 00:18:17,164 the Air Force, for national security reasons, 326 00:18:17,264 --> 00:18:21,534 would not confirm rumors that the stealth was being tested. 327 00:18:21,634 --> 00:18:23,770 Recently there has been similar speculation 328 00:18:23,870 --> 00:18:26,005 about a new spy plane, reputed to travel 329 00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:29,041 at speeds exceeding mach 6. 330 00:18:29,142 --> 00:18:31,578 In 1992, Stephen Douglass obtained 331 00:18:31,678 --> 00:18:33,846 what he believes as evidence that the plane 332 00:18:33,946 --> 00:18:34,847 may actually exist. 333 00:18:38,218 --> 00:18:40,853 STEVEN DOUGLASS: It was probably about 11:00 AM, 334 00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:45,158 and the house began to rattle. 335 00:18:45,258 --> 00:18:47,327 Let me call you back, this house just really shook. 336 00:18:47,427 --> 00:18:48,661 I'm going to go find out what it is, 337 00:18:48,761 --> 00:18:49,996 and I'll give you a call back. 338 00:18:50,096 --> 00:18:54,701 It was more of a vibration that was felt, and not heard. 339 00:18:54,801 --> 00:18:59,672 So I went outside, and there was this aircraft flying by, 340 00:18:59,772 --> 00:19:01,974 over the house incredibly fast. 341 00:19:02,074 --> 00:19:04,143 I've seen a lot of aircraft crisscross the skies around 342 00:19:04,244 --> 00:19:08,315 here, but this thing, I couldn't believe how fast it was moving. 343 00:19:08,415 --> 00:19:12,885 And behind it, it left a contrail that was unique. 344 00:19:12,985 --> 00:19:16,689 What they call a donuts on a rope contrail. 345 00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:18,591 ROBERT STACK: Steven Douglass took this photograph 346 00:19:18,691 --> 00:19:20,327 of the contrail. 347 00:19:20,427 --> 00:19:22,262 Some aviation researchers believe 348 00:19:22,362 --> 00:19:25,498 it might have been made by what is known as a pulse detonation 349 00:19:25,598 --> 00:19:29,168 wave engine, an experimental technology allegedly 350 00:19:29,269 --> 00:19:31,471 used in the spy plane. 351 00:19:31,571 --> 00:19:33,540 The Air Force was unable to identify 352 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,108 the source of the contrail in the photograph. 353 00:19:36,209 --> 00:19:38,511 Which raises an intriguing question-- 354 00:19:38,611 --> 00:19:41,147 if it is not one of our planes, whose is it? 355 00:19:44,284 --> 00:19:48,054 A year later, Douglass had another unusual sighting. 356 00:19:48,154 --> 00:19:51,258 He and his father-in-law Elwood were in Roswell, New Mexico 357 00:19:51,358 --> 00:19:53,560 to videotape military airplanes that were 358 00:19:53,660 --> 00:19:56,663 participating in mock wargames. 359 00:19:56,763 --> 00:19:59,766 Shortly after a group of B-1 bombers took off, 360 00:19:59,866 --> 00:20:03,270 an unidentified aircraft entered the area. 361 00:20:03,370 --> 00:20:04,537 Can you tell what that is? 362 00:20:04,637 --> 00:20:07,139 Elwood noticed an aircraft coming 363 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,977 towards us from the southwest. 364 00:20:11,077 --> 00:20:15,047 Soon as I started shooting tape, the battery light in the camera 365 00:20:15,147 --> 00:20:18,951 told me that the batteries were about exhausted. 366 00:20:19,051 --> 00:20:22,555 I got possibly seven to 10 seconds before the batteries 367 00:20:22,655 --> 00:20:23,690 quit in the camera. 368 00:20:26,526 --> 00:20:28,227 We couldn't hear any sound at all. 369 00:20:28,328 --> 00:20:31,097 This aircraft made no sound at all. 370 00:20:31,197 --> 00:20:33,500 It was just super quiet. 371 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,969 It looked like a flying triangle, 372 00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:41,708 and immediately I knew it must've been TR-3A Black Manta. 373 00:20:44,577 --> 00:20:46,646 ROBERT STACK: The TR-3A Black Manta 374 00:20:46,746 --> 00:20:48,415 is another high tech aircraft that 375 00:20:48,515 --> 00:20:51,183 is widely rumored to exist. 376 00:20:51,284 --> 00:20:53,520 The Manta is thought to be a reconnaissance plane, 377 00:20:53,620 --> 00:20:56,623 which operates in tandem with a stealth fighter. 378 00:20:56,723 --> 00:20:59,158 But in a statement issued to Unsolved Mysteries, 379 00:20:59,258 --> 00:21:01,561 the Air Force said of the Manta, quote, 380 00:21:01,661 --> 00:21:04,631 "It has no basis in reality." 381 00:21:04,731 --> 00:21:07,467 When the Air Force analyzed Douglass's footage, 382 00:21:07,567 --> 00:21:12,372 they believe the aircraft might be a Navy EA-6B Prowler. 383 00:21:12,472 --> 00:21:14,374 However, the Navy could not identify 384 00:21:14,474 --> 00:21:18,845 the plane, citing the poor quality of the videotape. 385 00:21:18,945 --> 00:21:21,781 A computer enhancement of a frame from the videotape 386 00:21:21,881 --> 00:21:25,084 appears to show a triangular shaped wedge. 387 00:21:25,184 --> 00:21:27,554 Douglass claims the object was virtually silent, 388 00:21:27,654 --> 00:21:31,424 and moved slower than conventional military aircraft. 389 00:21:31,524 --> 00:21:33,860 But if the aircraft does not belong to the Air Force, 390 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,162 and can not be identified by the Navy, 391 00:21:36,262 --> 00:21:38,264 the same question remains. 392 00:21:38,365 --> 00:21:39,265 Whose is it? 393 00:21:41,934 --> 00:21:44,371 One of the intriguing aspects of this story 394 00:21:44,471 --> 00:21:46,773 is that the airport where Douglass shot his footage 395 00:21:46,873 --> 00:21:48,675 is in the same area where one of the most 396 00:21:48,775 --> 00:21:53,112 controversial UFO episodes took place, more than 40 years ago. 397 00:22:01,020 --> 00:22:04,857 In 1947, army investigators from Roswell Air Base 398 00:22:04,957 --> 00:22:06,659 went public with the shocking news 399 00:22:06,759 --> 00:22:11,330 that a flying saucer had crashed on a ranch in rural New Mexico. 400 00:22:11,431 --> 00:22:14,033 A few days later, the army reversed itself 401 00:22:14,133 --> 00:22:16,235 and claimed that what had actually been found 402 00:22:16,335 --> 00:22:19,338 was a downed weather balloon. 403 00:22:19,439 --> 00:22:22,174 Nevertheless, many people are convinced that the army did 404 00:22:22,274 --> 00:22:24,811 recover the wreckage of a craft from somewhere 405 00:22:24,911 --> 00:22:26,245 other than Earth. 406 00:22:26,345 --> 00:22:29,582 And that now, even more incredibly, the military 407 00:22:29,682 --> 00:22:33,019 has somehow managed to glean the secrets of the UFO 408 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,757 to achieve a breakthrough in aviation technology. 409 00:22:37,857 --> 00:22:39,626 STEVEN DOUGLASS: These aircraft are 410 00:22:39,726 --> 00:22:42,261 doing things which a lot of physicists 411 00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:44,196 have generally said are not possible. 412 00:22:44,296 --> 00:22:47,867 Their maneuvers, their-- the way they fly, how fast they are. 413 00:22:47,967 --> 00:22:52,472 And The real mystery is how they made the leap. 414 00:22:52,572 --> 00:22:56,976 There are some that speculate that maybe this technology was 415 00:22:57,076 --> 00:23:02,682 gleaned from alien technology, that somehow 416 00:23:02,782 --> 00:23:07,554 either we have recovered, or it has been here for a while. 417 00:23:11,357 --> 00:23:13,993 UFO technology to power the next generation 418 00:23:14,093 --> 00:23:16,128 of military aircraft? 419 00:23:16,228 --> 00:23:18,898 At best, it is difficult to accept. 420 00:23:18,998 --> 00:23:20,967 Steven Douglass believes the planes he has seen 421 00:23:21,067 --> 00:23:24,704 were developed by our military using conventional technology. 422 00:23:24,804 --> 00:23:28,140 Yet the military says such aircraft do not exist. 423 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,142 Is there another explanation? 424 00:23:30,242 --> 00:23:33,212 If the Pentagon has the answer, they are not saying. 425 00:23:33,312 --> 00:23:36,449 And perhaps, just perhaps, it is better that way. 426 00:23:59,238 --> 00:24:01,207 On a prior broadcast, we explored 427 00:24:01,307 --> 00:24:03,643 one of the great mysteries of religion-- 428 00:24:03,743 --> 00:24:07,146 the Shroud of Turin. 429 00:24:07,246 --> 00:24:10,583 According to the Bible, after Jesus was crucified 430 00:24:10,683 --> 00:24:14,386 he was wrapped in a linen shroud. 431 00:24:14,487 --> 00:24:19,225 More than 1,000 years later, a 3 and 1/2 by 14 foot linen cloth 432 00:24:19,325 --> 00:24:22,862 mysteriously turned up in France. 433 00:24:22,962 --> 00:24:28,367 It showed the faint image of a man's body, front and back. 434 00:24:28,467 --> 00:24:30,970 Ever since, believers have hailed this cloth 435 00:24:31,070 --> 00:24:33,339 as a marvelous relic. 436 00:24:33,439 --> 00:24:36,208 They claim that Christ was buried in the shroud, 437 00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:38,144 and that his image was miraculously 438 00:24:38,244 --> 00:24:42,915 imprinted on the cloth at the moment of Resurrection. 439 00:24:43,015 --> 00:24:44,316 ALBERT DREISBACH: When I first began 440 00:24:44,416 --> 00:24:47,554 to study the Shroud of Turin, I was convinced it was a crock, 441 00:24:47,654 --> 00:24:50,757 and that it would take me probably less than two hours 442 00:24:50,857 --> 00:24:54,093 to put away this pious fraud. 443 00:24:54,193 --> 00:24:57,897 After all, anyone with an IQ of 100 or over 444 00:24:57,997 --> 00:25:01,367 knows that all relics, by definition, are frauds. 445 00:25:01,467 --> 00:25:06,338 But I must admit, here I am, some 17 years later. 446 00:25:06,438 --> 00:25:09,709 I who came to scoff, have stayed to pray. 447 00:25:09,809 --> 00:25:11,878 My own personal belief is that the shroud 448 00:25:11,978 --> 00:25:15,381 is probably authentic. 449 00:25:15,481 --> 00:25:17,016 ROBERT STACK: Skeptics regard the shroud 450 00:25:17,116 --> 00:25:20,587 as a masterful painting, the work of an unknown Renaissance 451 00:25:20,687 --> 00:25:22,955 artist. 452 00:25:23,055 --> 00:25:25,558 However, those who believe the shroud was painted 453 00:25:25,658 --> 00:25:29,195 are hard pressed to explain two distinct attributes. 454 00:25:29,295 --> 00:25:33,833 First, the total absence of brushstrokes. 455 00:25:33,933 --> 00:25:37,236 Also, when the shroud's image is analyzed by computer, 456 00:25:37,336 --> 00:25:40,272 it projects a remarkable three dimensional picture, 457 00:25:40,372 --> 00:25:42,341 almost like a sculpture. 458 00:25:42,441 --> 00:25:47,546 Virtually no other work of art has this characteristic. 459 00:25:47,647 --> 00:25:50,449 When all was said and done, it seemed like the shroud 460 00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:53,285 would remain a tantalizing mystery, a source 461 00:25:53,385 --> 00:25:55,387 of endless speculation. 462 00:25:55,487 --> 00:25:59,258 It was certainly the last story we ever expected to update. 463 00:25:59,358 --> 00:26:01,093 But for every mystery, there is someone, 464 00:26:01,193 --> 00:26:04,563 somewhere, who never gives up trying to find a solution. 465 00:26:08,735 --> 00:26:11,503 Dr. Emily Craig, a forensic anthropologist 466 00:26:11,604 --> 00:26:13,673 and medical Illustrator, claims that she 467 00:26:13,773 --> 00:26:15,975 has figured out the secret. 468 00:26:16,075 --> 00:26:19,679 Using dry paint pigments ground into a fine powder, 469 00:26:19,779 --> 00:26:22,114 Dr. Craig has created an image on cloth 470 00:26:22,214 --> 00:26:24,884 that she believes replicates the distinct qualities 471 00:26:24,984 --> 00:26:26,352 of the shroud. 472 00:26:26,452 --> 00:26:30,857 It is an ancient technique, known as dust drawing. 473 00:26:30,957 --> 00:26:33,359 EMILY CRAIG: I think it goes back to cave paintings. 474 00:26:33,459 --> 00:26:35,662 It goes back thousands of years. 475 00:26:35,762 --> 00:26:39,966 They've used carbon dust, and ochers, 476 00:26:40,066 --> 00:26:46,138 and different natural occurring pigments for centuries. 477 00:26:46,238 --> 00:26:47,874 ROBERT STACK: Working first on paper, 478 00:26:47,974 --> 00:26:50,810 Dr. Craig applies the dust more heavily for the raised 479 00:26:50,910 --> 00:26:52,278 features of the face-- 480 00:26:52,378 --> 00:26:56,082 the forehead, nose, lips, and chin. 481 00:26:56,182 --> 00:26:58,317 The lower areas receive less pigment. 482 00:27:01,688 --> 00:27:04,190 EMILY CRAIG: Once it's done to my satisfaction, 483 00:27:04,290 --> 00:27:07,660 I want to take a piece of linen, you lay the linen down. 484 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:14,066 And then taking a wooden spoon or any flat, flexible object, 485 00:27:14,166 --> 00:27:17,036 which is going to rub the entire image, 486 00:27:17,136 --> 00:27:18,204 and make a direct transfer. 487 00:27:21,540 --> 00:27:23,275 ROBERT STACK: The image, now on linen, 488 00:27:23,375 --> 00:27:26,512 satisfies one of the shroud's main attributes. 489 00:27:26,612 --> 00:27:27,780 There are no brush strokes. 490 00:27:31,818 --> 00:27:34,286 Dr. Randy Bresee, a textile scientist, 491 00:27:34,386 --> 00:27:36,455 is Dr. Craig's partner. 492 00:27:36,555 --> 00:27:39,525 He put the dust drawing to its most important test-- 493 00:27:39,625 --> 00:27:42,428 the same computer analysis that revealed the shroud's 494 00:27:42,528 --> 00:27:44,596 hidden 3D properties. 495 00:27:49,201 --> 00:27:50,803 The tests show that Doctor Craig's 496 00:27:50,903 --> 00:27:54,974 method can produce the singular 3D attribute of the shroud. 497 00:27:57,877 --> 00:27:59,846 RANDY BRESEE: What we have accomplished, I believe, 498 00:27:59,946 --> 00:28:02,548 is that we have demonstrated that a miracle 499 00:28:02,648 --> 00:28:06,352 is not required to produce the image on the Shroud of Turin. 500 00:28:06,452 --> 00:28:08,755 And it can be drawn on there in a simple, straightforward 501 00:28:08,855 --> 00:28:09,655 manner. 502 00:28:13,059 --> 00:28:14,426 ROBERT STACK: For half a millennium, 503 00:28:14,526 --> 00:28:16,628 the image on the Shroud of Turin has challenged 504 00:28:16,729 --> 00:28:19,198 believers and skeptics alike. 505 00:28:19,298 --> 00:28:21,333 Have its secrets finally been revealed? 506 00:28:25,537 --> 00:28:27,306 Emily Craig and Randy Bresee believe 507 00:28:27,406 --> 00:28:30,476 that they have discovered how the shroud was created. 508 00:28:30,576 --> 00:28:32,278 However, not everyone in the art world 509 00:28:32,378 --> 00:28:35,247 or the religious community is convinced. 510 00:28:35,347 --> 00:28:37,049 Perhaps the mystery of the shroud 511 00:28:37,149 --> 00:28:40,419 will, and should, remain forever unsolved. 512 00:28:51,363 --> 00:28:53,565 The small community of Fernald, Ohio 513 00:28:53,665 --> 00:28:55,334 lies in the midst of farm country, 514 00:28:55,434 --> 00:28:57,770 20 miles from Cincinnatti. 515 00:28:57,870 --> 00:29:01,173 For many years, the town's main employer was this factory. 516 00:29:01,273 --> 00:29:04,944 The feed materials production center, also known as NLO. 517 00:29:07,746 --> 00:29:09,548 The casual observer would never guess 518 00:29:09,648 --> 00:29:13,385 that NLO was, in fact, owned by the Department of Energy. 519 00:29:13,485 --> 00:29:18,057 From 1953 to 1989, it was one of the few plants in the United 520 00:29:18,157 --> 00:29:20,759 States which processed high grade uranium 521 00:29:20,860 --> 00:29:23,896 for use in nuclear weapons. 522 00:29:23,996 --> 00:29:25,364 HARRY EASTERLING: When I was hired in there, 523 00:29:25,464 --> 00:29:29,368 they said that it was a low level radiation plant, 524 00:29:29,468 --> 00:29:31,570 and that you didn't have anything to worry about, 525 00:29:31,670 --> 00:29:35,942 there was nothing back there that would bother you, and just 526 00:29:36,042 --> 00:29:37,076 go on about your business. 527 00:29:37,176 --> 00:29:39,778 Not to tell anybody what you were doing, 528 00:29:39,879 --> 00:29:43,883 and everything would be fine. 529 00:29:43,983 --> 00:29:45,517 ROBERT STACK: However, conditions in the factory 530 00:29:45,617 --> 00:29:47,553 were anything but fine. 531 00:29:47,653 --> 00:29:50,857 In the fall of 1984, NLO was rocked 532 00:29:50,957 --> 00:29:53,259 by a scandal of major proportions 533 00:29:53,359 --> 00:29:56,095 when an accident allowed a massive dose of radioactive 534 00:29:56,195 --> 00:29:59,565 smoke to escape into the atmosphere. 535 00:29:59,665 --> 00:30:02,935 An investigation later revealed that over the years, 536 00:30:03,035 --> 00:30:05,371 NLO had released more than 200 tons 537 00:30:05,471 --> 00:30:07,806 of radioactive dust particles into the air 538 00:30:07,907 --> 00:30:10,176 and local water sources. 539 00:30:10,276 --> 00:30:12,912 Some said that NLO was, in essence, 540 00:30:13,012 --> 00:30:17,884 the third largest nuclear waste dump in the country. 541 00:30:17,984 --> 00:30:21,787 D.C. COLE: The effect that it has on the environment 542 00:30:21,888 --> 00:30:23,923 is one thing. 543 00:30:24,023 --> 00:30:28,127 We have an environmental disaster, 544 00:30:28,227 --> 00:30:32,999 but I think if you did a survey around the Fernald community, 545 00:30:33,099 --> 00:30:39,238 you will find very few people who trust the government now. 546 00:30:39,338 --> 00:30:40,973 ROBERT STACK: For the people of Fernald, 547 00:30:41,073 --> 00:30:43,309 the disastrous accident followed on the heels 548 00:30:43,409 --> 00:30:47,880 of another disturbing controversy involving NLO. 549 00:30:47,980 --> 00:30:51,017 A few months earlier, in June of 1984, 550 00:30:51,117 --> 00:30:55,154 an employee named Dave Bocks had disappeared while on the job. 551 00:30:55,254 --> 00:30:58,557 Though his body was never found, some of his personal effects 552 00:30:58,657 --> 00:31:01,894 were, and Bocks was presumed dead. 553 00:31:01,994 --> 00:31:04,630 After the accident, the case of Dave Bocks 554 00:31:04,730 --> 00:31:06,465 took on a sinister new dimension. 555 00:31:09,902 --> 00:31:12,571 Dave Bocks worked at NLO for three years, 556 00:31:12,671 --> 00:31:14,006 and all evidence indicates that he 557 00:31:14,106 --> 00:31:17,576 died a horrible, gruesome death inside the factory. 558 00:31:17,676 --> 00:31:20,913 The official ruling was that no foul play was involved, 559 00:31:21,013 --> 00:31:23,182 but representatives from the Department of Energy 560 00:31:23,282 --> 00:31:25,717 and the current Hamilton County Sheriff's administration 561 00:31:25,817 --> 00:31:28,154 have refused to speak with us. 562 00:31:28,254 --> 00:31:30,389 Dave Bocks' friends and family are convinced that he was 563 00:31:30,489 --> 00:31:34,226 murdered, and they will not rest until they learn how he died, 564 00:31:34,326 --> 00:31:35,727 and who was responsible. 565 00:31:38,564 --> 00:31:41,333 David Bocks grew up in Staten Island, New York. 566 00:31:41,433 --> 00:31:45,271 In 1981, he was hired at NLO as a pipe fitter, 567 00:31:45,371 --> 00:31:49,541 and quickly earned the trust and respect of his coworkers. 568 00:31:49,641 --> 00:31:52,511 Bocks was a father of two sons and a daughter. 569 00:31:52,611 --> 00:31:56,983 In 1979 he divorced, yet he remained devoted to his ex-wife 570 00:31:57,083 --> 00:31:59,251 and children. 571 00:31:59,351 --> 00:32:02,088 CASEY DRAKE: He was great, he would do anything for us. 572 00:32:02,188 --> 00:32:08,460 Kind as can be, loved his children, did his job. 573 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:09,661 He was just a very kind person. 574 00:32:12,498 --> 00:32:14,733 ROBERT STACK: Sunday, June 18th, 1884 575 00:32:14,833 --> 00:32:17,869 began like any other evening for Dave Bocks. 576 00:32:17,970 --> 00:32:20,839 He worked the graveyard shift at NLO. 577 00:32:20,939 --> 00:32:23,175 At 11 PM, Bocks met his ride share 578 00:32:23,275 --> 00:32:28,014 partner Harry Easterling in a local restaurant parking lot. 579 00:32:28,114 --> 00:32:31,050 HARRY EASTERLING: Dave got into my truck, we left, 580 00:32:31,150 --> 00:32:33,352 had a little conversation on the way to work. 581 00:32:33,452 --> 00:32:35,454 He had talked about vacation with his kids 582 00:32:35,554 --> 00:32:38,690 and bought a new lunchbox for work. 583 00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:39,925 And everything seemed to be normal. 584 00:32:44,496 --> 00:32:47,533 ROBERT STACK: Dave Bocks' primary responsibilities at NLO 585 00:32:47,633 --> 00:32:50,402 were to inspect and maintain equipment in all of the plants 586 00:32:50,502 --> 00:32:52,271 throughout the factory. 587 00:32:52,371 --> 00:32:55,474 This included making sure that the safety pumps and dust 588 00:32:55,574 --> 00:32:58,077 collectors used in the uranium processing 589 00:32:58,177 --> 00:33:01,680 were in proper working order. 590 00:33:01,780 --> 00:33:03,515 HARRY EASTERLING: Dave was a fairly quiet guy, 591 00:33:03,615 --> 00:33:07,186 but if you worked on a job and say it was high radiation 592 00:33:07,286 --> 00:33:10,356 level, Dave would tell you, say, that particular dust 593 00:33:10,456 --> 00:33:13,159 collector is fairly radioactive, so watch yourself. 594 00:33:13,259 --> 00:33:15,461 Or that pump has a certain kind of acid 595 00:33:15,561 --> 00:33:18,030 in it, so be careful when you work on it. 596 00:33:18,130 --> 00:33:20,366 But he would try to help you out as much as he could, 597 00:33:20,466 --> 00:33:21,767 because he'd been there longer than I had. 598 00:33:25,504 --> 00:33:26,538 ROBERT STACK: Only the maintenance 599 00:33:26,638 --> 00:33:28,840 crew and security personnel were on duty 600 00:33:28,940 --> 00:33:30,576 during the graveyard shift. 601 00:33:30,676 --> 00:33:32,978 The production lines were shut down. 602 00:33:33,079 --> 00:33:35,881 At midnight, Bocks reported to the maintenance room 603 00:33:35,981 --> 00:33:37,015 for his work assignment. 604 00:33:37,116 --> 00:33:37,949 Bocks. 605 00:33:38,050 --> 00:33:39,085 Yeah. 606 00:33:39,185 --> 00:33:40,986 Need you to look at the pump in building eight. 607 00:33:41,087 --> 00:33:42,088 Which pump? 608 00:33:42,188 --> 00:33:43,322 SUPERVISOR: Herb knows which one, see him. 609 00:33:43,422 --> 00:33:44,723 All right. 610 00:33:44,823 --> 00:33:46,458 HARRY EASTERLING: It was sort of just like any other night. 611 00:33:46,558 --> 00:33:49,128 He would open his tool box, leave his keys in his lock, 612 00:33:49,228 --> 00:33:53,165 and lay the lock and the keys in the top of the toolbox. 613 00:33:53,265 --> 00:33:55,867 Dave went to one area, and I worked on a job 614 00:33:55,967 --> 00:33:58,904 in another plant. 615 00:33:59,004 --> 00:34:01,873 ROBERT STACK: At around 4 AM, Bocks and a supervisor 616 00:34:01,973 --> 00:34:05,911 were seen in a parked pickup truck by an NLO employee. 617 00:34:06,011 --> 00:34:08,747 The witness spoke to Unsolved Mysteries on the phone, 618 00:34:08,847 --> 00:34:11,817 but declined to appear on camera. 619 00:34:11,917 --> 00:34:13,319 The witness said that Bocks appeared 620 00:34:13,419 --> 00:34:16,455 to be having a serious discussion with a supervisor, 621 00:34:16,555 --> 00:34:19,625 but he could not determine what they were talking about. 622 00:34:19,725 --> 00:34:21,760 Oddly, the windows of the truck were 623 00:34:21,860 --> 00:34:27,133 rolled up, despite the fact that it was a hot, humid night. 624 00:34:27,233 --> 00:34:31,137 An hour later, at 5 AM, the same witness ran into Bocks 625 00:34:31,237 --> 00:34:32,371 on the factory grounds. 626 00:34:32,471 --> 00:34:34,440 Hey Dave, need help with that? 627 00:34:34,540 --> 00:34:36,475 No, just putting my tools away. 628 00:34:36,575 --> 00:34:38,310 All right. 629 00:34:38,410 --> 00:34:39,911 ROBERT STACK: The witness was struck by the fact 630 00:34:40,011 --> 00:34:43,349 that Bocks was walking towards plant four, not plant eight 631 00:34:43,449 --> 00:34:45,284 where he had been assigned. 632 00:34:45,384 --> 00:34:48,987 It was the last time Dave Bocks was seen alive. 633 00:34:49,087 --> 00:34:51,523 Later that morning, his friend and fellow employee 634 00:34:51,623 --> 00:34:53,659 Harry Easterling became suspicious 635 00:34:53,759 --> 00:34:55,527 about Dave's absence. 636 00:34:55,627 --> 00:34:57,062 Approximately 7 o'clock that morning 637 00:34:57,163 --> 00:35:01,633 we had a safety meeting in a conference room in plant four. 638 00:35:01,733 --> 00:35:05,003 We showed up for the meeting, but Dave wasn't there. 639 00:35:05,103 --> 00:35:07,539 Walked back over to the maintenance building, 640 00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:09,908 put my tools away, and noticed that Dave's tool 641 00:35:10,008 --> 00:35:11,543 box was still open. 642 00:35:11,643 --> 00:35:14,580 So I thought, well, he's probably working overtime. 643 00:35:21,553 --> 00:35:23,054 So I went in and made a few phone calls, 644 00:35:23,155 --> 00:35:24,423 but I couldn't locate him. 645 00:35:24,523 --> 00:35:27,693 So I went back out and told the security guard at the desk 646 00:35:27,793 --> 00:35:30,162 that Dave hadn't come out, I was going home, 647 00:35:30,262 --> 00:35:33,999 and I would meet him the next night at the restaurant. 648 00:35:37,869 --> 00:35:39,771 ROBERT STACK: At around 7:30 that morning, 649 00:35:39,871 --> 00:35:43,509 a furnace operator in plant six notified his supervisor 650 00:35:43,609 --> 00:35:45,344 that the casings in his oven were covered 651 00:35:45,444 --> 00:35:47,446 with a strange sticky residue. 652 00:35:47,546 --> 00:35:48,947 Hey, Larry. 653 00:35:49,047 --> 00:35:51,950 ROBERT STACK: The worker also detected an unusual odor. 654 00:35:52,050 --> 00:35:54,386 Yeah, what's up? 655 00:35:54,486 --> 00:35:57,623 I'm into something strange in here. 656 00:35:57,723 --> 00:36:00,792 There's all kind of big firm crust all over the saw. 657 00:36:00,892 --> 00:36:01,827 Crust? 658 00:36:01,927 --> 00:36:03,295 Yeah, I dipped a couple of ingots in, 659 00:36:03,395 --> 00:36:05,897 they've got a slick film all over them. 660 00:36:05,997 --> 00:36:08,367 That's OK, just go on ahead and keep dipping. 661 00:36:08,467 --> 00:36:09,335 Larry. 662 00:36:09,435 --> 00:36:10,902 Yeah, what? 663 00:36:11,002 --> 00:36:13,004 Listen man, I don't want to be the one that starts a problem, 664 00:36:13,104 --> 00:36:16,308 but there's something in there. 665 00:36:16,408 --> 00:36:19,144 Kind of looked like a leg. 666 00:36:19,245 --> 00:36:20,546 A leg? 667 00:36:20,646 --> 00:36:21,447 Take a look. 668 00:36:28,053 --> 00:36:30,656 ROBERT STACK: The supervisor apparently found nothing wrong 669 00:36:30,756 --> 00:36:33,124 and told the furnace operator to go back to work. 670 00:36:37,128 --> 00:36:39,465 At 11:00 that night, Harry Easterling 671 00:36:39,565 --> 00:36:43,402 arrived at the restaurant to meet Dave Bocks as usual. 672 00:36:43,502 --> 00:36:46,472 He had not heard about what happened in plant six. 673 00:36:46,572 --> 00:36:51,410 It was Dave's turn to drive, and his car was already there. 674 00:36:51,510 --> 00:36:53,211 HARRY EASTERLING: Wasn't anything out of the ordinary, 675 00:36:53,312 --> 00:36:55,247 because he would pull his car in and go get something 676 00:36:55,347 --> 00:36:56,682 to eat, and then come back to the car, 677 00:36:56,782 --> 00:36:58,384 or get something to take for lunch. 678 00:37:03,989 --> 00:37:05,291 And I leaned up against Dave's car, 679 00:37:05,391 --> 00:37:07,526 and I noticed that the fender was still cold. 680 00:37:07,626 --> 00:37:09,695 So I reached over, touched the hood, 681 00:37:09,795 --> 00:37:13,031 and the hood was still cold. 682 00:37:13,131 --> 00:37:14,232 ROBERT STACK: Harry began to suspect 683 00:37:14,333 --> 00:37:16,034 that something was wrong. 684 00:37:16,134 --> 00:37:19,271 When he arrived at the factory, he reported Dave Bocks missing, 685 00:37:19,371 --> 00:37:22,641 and had a security guard pry open Bocks' locker. 686 00:37:22,741 --> 00:37:24,042 Are these the clothes he was wearing? 687 00:37:24,142 --> 00:37:25,944 That's what he was wearing. 688 00:37:26,044 --> 00:37:27,846 GUARD: And you haven't seen him since you left? 689 00:37:27,946 --> 00:37:28,747 No. 690 00:37:33,218 --> 00:37:36,688 On Sunday night, he was missing. 691 00:37:36,788 --> 00:37:40,659 We were informed of the fact on Tuesday. 692 00:37:40,759 --> 00:37:44,496 On Wednesday, my mother tried to contact the plant 693 00:37:44,596 --> 00:37:46,732 to find out more information. 694 00:37:46,832 --> 00:37:49,401 They told her they couldn't give her any information, 695 00:37:49,501 --> 00:37:51,269 they didn't know anything. 696 00:37:51,370 --> 00:37:54,573 And that was that. 697 00:37:54,673 --> 00:37:55,741 ROBERT STACK: But inside the plant, 698 00:37:55,841 --> 00:37:58,777 an investigation was confirming the worst. 699 00:37:58,877 --> 00:38:01,713 It was learned that at 5:15 on the morning of Dave Bocks' 700 00:38:01,813 --> 00:38:05,250 disappearance, the temperature in the furnace in plant six, 701 00:38:05,351 --> 00:38:08,520 which was kept at a constant 1300 degree temperature, 702 00:38:08,620 --> 00:38:11,757 had momentarily dipped 28 degrees, 703 00:38:11,857 --> 00:38:13,625 suggesting that something foreign had 704 00:38:13,725 --> 00:38:16,462 been dumped in to it. 705 00:38:16,562 --> 00:38:19,297 A worker had also found what appeared to be a piece of bone 706 00:38:19,398 --> 00:38:21,199 on the lip of the furnace. 707 00:38:21,299 --> 00:38:24,102 The Hamilton County Sheriff's Department was called in, 708 00:38:24,202 --> 00:38:25,404 and the furnace was shut down. 709 00:38:30,876 --> 00:38:33,779 Investigators had to wait three days for the molten liquid 710 00:38:33,879 --> 00:38:36,114 inside the furnace to cool. 711 00:38:36,214 --> 00:38:38,750 Then employees sifted through the waste material, 712 00:38:38,850 --> 00:38:41,119 searching for some kind of evidence. 713 00:38:48,494 --> 00:38:52,731 VICTOR CARRELLI: Those keys belonged to the victim's car. 714 00:38:52,831 --> 00:38:57,135 They also belonged to three padlocks of his. 715 00:38:57,235 --> 00:39:00,606 One key, we believed, went into his residence, 716 00:39:00,706 --> 00:39:02,641 but we couldn't prove that because it was bent 717 00:39:02,741 --> 00:39:05,276 and in not very good shape. 718 00:39:08,279 --> 00:39:10,682 ROBERT STACK: The conclusion was inescapable. 719 00:39:10,782 --> 00:39:13,619 Dave Bocks was almost certainly dead. 720 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,322 But the news left Harry Easterling dumbfounded. 721 00:39:17,423 --> 00:39:20,826 He claims that Dave's keys were still in his toolbox at 7:30 722 00:39:20,926 --> 00:39:24,596 AM, more than two hours after the gauge in plant six 723 00:39:24,696 --> 00:39:28,066 registered the temperature drop. 724 00:39:28,166 --> 00:39:29,568 HARRY EASTERLING: When I left the plant 725 00:39:29,668 --> 00:39:33,304 to go over to the maintenance shop, his keys were in the box. 726 00:39:33,405 --> 00:39:36,241 When I left there to go home, they were still in the box. 727 00:39:36,341 --> 00:39:38,444 I went home, when I came back that night, 728 00:39:38,544 --> 00:39:42,013 his keys were still in the top of his toolbox. 729 00:39:42,113 --> 00:39:45,751 The supervisor closed his box, put the lock on his toolbox, 730 00:39:45,851 --> 00:39:48,454 and took his keys out of the lock. 731 00:39:48,554 --> 00:39:50,822 And from there on, I do not know what happened to the keys. 732 00:39:53,659 --> 00:39:55,026 ROBERT STACK: In addition to the keys, 733 00:39:55,126 --> 00:39:57,228 investigators uncovered a steel toe 734 00:39:57,328 --> 00:40:01,933 from a boot, part of what they thought was an eyeglass frame, 735 00:40:02,033 --> 00:40:05,837 fragments of what they believed was Dave Bocks' walkie-talkie, 736 00:40:05,937 --> 00:40:07,806 and a piece of stainless steel wire 737 00:40:07,906 --> 00:40:12,578 that was looped together in three oddly connecting circles. 738 00:40:12,678 --> 00:40:15,614 Also recovered were several pieces of human bone. 739 00:40:19,084 --> 00:40:20,819 The official police investigation 740 00:40:20,919 --> 00:40:22,821 was unable to determine conclusively 741 00:40:22,921 --> 00:40:24,756 how Dave Bocks died. 742 00:40:24,856 --> 00:40:28,026 However, suicide was a distinct possibility. 743 00:40:28,126 --> 00:40:30,762 Bocks had a history of psychological problems, 744 00:40:30,862 --> 00:40:32,498 and around the time of his divorce, 745 00:40:32,598 --> 00:40:34,933 he had apparently tried to take his own life. 746 00:40:37,969 --> 00:40:40,672 I know my father did not commit suicide. 747 00:40:40,772 --> 00:40:44,409 There was no reason for him to commit suicide. 748 00:40:44,510 --> 00:40:49,581 He had purchased groceries for the week, he was planning 749 00:40:49,681 --> 00:40:51,282 a vacation with me and my younger brother 750 00:40:51,382 --> 00:40:54,452 for the following summer to Florida, 751 00:40:54,553 --> 00:40:57,355 he paid all of his bills for the month. 752 00:40:57,455 --> 00:41:01,527 There was no reason for him to commit suicide. 753 00:41:01,627 --> 00:41:03,995 From everything I know about the circumstances 754 00:41:04,095 --> 00:41:06,532 of what occurred back then, I would have to say that he was 755 00:41:06,632 --> 00:41:08,567 probably
