MALE (VOICEOVER): This program
is about unsolved mysteries.

Whenever possible, the
actual family members

and police officials
have participated

in recreating the events.

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

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Tonight, an intriguing look

at a little known phenomenon--

the mysterious link
between adoptees

and their birth families.

Many believe that even
after years of separation,

they are connected
by a remarkable

psychic tie that
cannot be explained

by coincidence or science.

In Rhode Island,
a wild car chase

ended in the stabbing death
of 20-year-old Jason Bass.

His attacker, Adam Emery,
was convicted of murder,

and then released on
bail, pending sentencing.

Hours later, Emery's car was
found abandoned on the Newport

Bridge, leading many to
believe that Emory and his wife

had jumped to their deaths.

But reliable sources
believe that Adam

Emery may still be alive.

When 38-year-old Latricia
White was murdered,

the police and her
family began to suspect

her boyfriend, Doug Walker
Hagen, who had mysteriously

dropped from sight.

More than a year later,
he is still missing.

But is Doug the
cold-blooded killer?

Or was he a victim
of violence himself?

Join me for these intriguing
new cases and much more.

Perhaps you may be able
to help solve a mystery.

[music playing]

Mom?

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): A
joyous reunion between a mother

and her long-lost daughter.

Brothers and sisters
who grew up apart

meet for the first
time as adults.

Remarkable moments like
these have been captured

by our cameras dozens of times.

Imagine meeting your
child or a sibling--

in reality, a complete stranger,
after years of wondering

what he or she is like.

We have learned
that in many cases,

reunited family members have
a surprising amount in common,

more than can be explained by
genetics or simple coincidence.

We decided to take a closer look
at this mysterious connection,

this bond that seems to
defy scientific explanation.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Don Larkin grew

up knowing he had been adopted.

But he was 44 years old before
he finally located his birth

mother, Betty Landers.

Even before Don
met Betty, he knew

they would have much in common.

As he approached her
house for the first time,

Don noticed an unusual
display of knickknacks

hanging in the window--

a carved hummingbird, and
next to it, a crystal prism.

Don had only seen these items
together in one other place,

his own front window.

It really startled
me to see somebody

else having something like that
in the window of their house.

And I just thought,
well, she must

be a pretty neat
lady, because she

picked the same stuff I did.

Coincidences that are very
rare, such as Betty and Don's

both having hummingbirds and
crystals in their front windows

of their houses, are almost
impossible to explain

by the traditional cause
effect genetic relationship.

That's a very good
example of one

that is probably
due to some unknown

spiritual, psychic connection.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Many believe

that the same eerie bond exists
between separated siblings.

Lorelei Smith, who
everyone called Lori,

was the only daughter
of her adoptive parents.

Yet, even as a four-year-old,
she sensed that somewhere, she

had a sister.
- Who's that?

Me and my sister.

But you don't have a sister.

Yes, I do.

I was so firm about
it, one of the teachers

felt necessary to
contact my parents.

I was told at the
time not to continue

with this illusion or fantasy.

But I, apparently, still kept
insisting I had a sister.

At that time in 1959, Lorelei
did, indeed, have a sister,

Lori, then 1 and 1/2 years old.

And we were living in Alaska.

Lorelei was in New Mexico.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
As children, Lori Smith

and her sister Lori Stiffler
had much more in common

than just their first names.

Both owned horses,
and both played

the same musical instruments--
the flute and the guitar.

Surprisingly, they
had each learned

sign language, though neither
one knew a single deaf person.

I believe that the
most common explanation

for these coincidences
is probably genetic.

But there are coincidences
that the genetic attachment,

the genetic cause,
simply can't explain.

And then, I think we have
to look to a spiritual,

a telepathic, a psychokinetic
type of explanation,

difficult as that may be to do.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Elizabeth Bersanetti's story

is a case in point.

She grew up with her adoptive
family in Southern California.

For as long as she can remember,
Elizabeth was drawn to anything

and everything French.

I always had a
fascination with languages.

And the first one I wanted
to speak was French.

I was just obsessed
with the language.

It was so foreign to me.

And I just wanted
to be different.

I wanted to be
those people that I

saw in the films, the
Parisians walking along,

the students studying
at the Sorbonne.

I wanted that identity.

I wanted to be French.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
In 1985, Elizabeth

formally requested a reunion
with her birth mother

through the agency that
had handled her adoption.

However, both Elizabeth's birth
mother and adoptive mother

were required to
give their consent.

Afraid to hurt her
adoptive mother's feelings,

Elizabeth postponed the search.

Five years passed.

In January of 1990 Elizabeth,
married a young man

she met while
traveling in Italy.

Elizabeth says that one month
later, she began to have

a series of recurring dreams.

A shadowy woman always appeared.

And Elizabeth soon
came to believe

the woman was her birth mother.

My mother was being told
that she didn't have very

long to live, that
she had cancer,

and that it was going to
progress at a very rapid rate.

There was a lot of sadness
I felt from the dream.

She was obviously
very gravely ill.

And to me, that said
that she was dying.

When Elizabeth woke up, she
was really upset about it.

And, of course, I said,
you know, it's impossible.

You're just
over-worried about it.

You're too worried.

And it's not going
to be anything.

But then she had the same dream
again in the following days.

And she actually once
woke up crying about it.

In late August, I woke
up with almost the fact

that my mother was dead.

I was never going to meet her.

It was over.

I was never going to see her.

I was too late.

It was on me that whole day
and all the days after that

that I had missed her.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Soon
after that disturbing dream,

Elizabeth returned to
the adoption agency.

This time, she had
her adoptive mother's

signed consent in hand.

I guess all the
waivers are in.

All the waivers are in?

You mean you have my
birth mother's as well?

Oh yes, since May of '85.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Elizabeth

was stunned by the timing.

Her birth mother had
asked for a reunion

just days after Elizabeth's
own initial request.

Nichole Roland, and
she's French-Canadian.

[phone ringing]

WOMAN: Hello?

Bonjour, I'm looking
for Nicole Roland, please.

WOMAN: Who is this?

I'm an old friend of
hers from Los Angeles.

WOMAN: I'm afraid I
have bad news for you.

Nicole has passed away.

When?

WOMAN: Last August.

It was devastating.

And I said, did she
die on August 28?

And she said, yes.

And she just broke
into tears, and said,

how would you know that?

All I could think of
was that my dreams

were true, that I had had this
strange connection to her.

I had known when she was sick.

And I'd known when she died.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Incredibly, Nicole

Roland had lived
the life Elizabeth

once dreamed of for herself.

Nicole had been a
professor of French,

spending two years
among the Parisians

studying at the Sorbonne.

It seems that me and my birth
mother had a lot in common,

and would have had a
lot in common had we

been able to know each other.

It appears that we were living,
at times, a parallel life,

doing the same things,
being in the same places,

and interested in
the same subjects.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Although Elizabeth

was never able to
meet Nicole, she did

discover a whole new family.

Elizabeth flew to Canada
to meet her half sister

Sophie, and a houseful of
Nicole's friends and relatives.

During the visit,
Elizabeth continued

to find unexplainable
links to her birth mother.

Hi.

Could I draw with you?

Sure.

OK, what should I draw?

I don't know, maybe a house.

OK, let's make it turquoise.

I went to all the crayons.

And I selected a turquoise
crayon, which was sort of odd,

I thought.

But I just-- it was
an unconscious thing.

And I started
drawing this house.

And I'd never drawn a
house like this in my life.

The door was on the wrong side.

The garage was on the
wrong side of the door.

And it had little weird
dormers, and turquoise trim.

And I just remarked,
even while I was drawing,

this is a strange house.

And, well, it's a house.

Here it is.

John, look at this.

The room got very quiet.

Everybody seemed to
be staring at me.

And I felt very uncomfortable.

Elizabeth, why did
you draw this house?

- I don't know.
- Really?

You don't know?

No.

How is it?

Nice.

The day after I
did the drawing,

my sister took me to
the house that she

had lived in with my mother.

And it was the house that I
had drawn the previous night--

the same little odd house
with the peaked roof,

and the turquoise trim, and
the garage on the wrong side.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Elizabeth

says that just before
leaving Canada,

one final extraordinary
incident reaffirmed

the almost magical connection
with her birth mother.

She would be so proud.

Thank you.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): A friend

of Nicole's gave
Elizabeth one of Nicole's

most treasured
books, a collection

of poems by a German writer.

As it happened,
the author was also

one of Elizabeth's favorites.

In fact, she had brought the
same book with her to Canada.

Thank you so much.

I would like to believe
that she was consciously

communicating with me.

But I don't really have
any way of knowing.

I can-- whatever it is, I
think that it's powerful,

and that it's,
certainly, alternately

wonderful and
frightening sometimes.

When we begin to look at the
connections that seem to occur

across both time
and space, we run

into the inability of our
current knowledge system

to explain things like this.

But they happen so
frequently that there must

be some reality behind them.

Maybe I am looking
for a connection

to her that's deeper and more
rooted than it might have been.

But I tend to think that
what I feel is very true.

She couldn't give me the
legacy of knowing her,

or of having shared
things with me.

So she shared things
with me in another way.

[music playing]

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Next,
the bizarre saga of Adam Emery,

Did the convicted
murderer commit

suicide by jumping from Rhode
Island's Newport bridge?

Or did he cleverly
stage his own death?

[music playing]

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
The Newport Bridge

arcs some two miles across
the Narragansett Bay

in Rhode Island.

At its highest point,
the road bed stands

219 feet above the water.

On the evening of
November 10th, 1993,

the bridge was a scene
of a sobering discovery--

the latest twist in
one of the state's

most sensational murder cases.

Shortly before 7:00 PM, a bridge
supervisor and a state trooper

investigated an empty
car that was blocking

one of the westbound lanes.

The engine was running.

And the headlights were on.

Empty car, nobody
in it, nobody around.

Check the sides.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): On the
backseat were several articles

of clothing neatly folded.

Up front, cash, cut up credit
cards, and a driver's license.

When we first got
up there, I thought

it was an abandoned car.

He checked the car.

And he says, oh no.

And that's when we knew.

He says, it's the Emery's car.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Most anyone in Rhode Island

would have recognized
the name Emery.

That very day, Adam Emery
had been convicted of murder.

Though he was free on bail,
Emery faced 20 years to life

in the state penitentiary.

Now, it appeared that
Adam and his wife Elena

had found a way out of
their impending separation--

by jumping to their deaths
off the Newport Bridge.

The apparent double suicide
about Adam and Elena Emery

was stunning news.

But it would not
be the last chapter

in this extraordinary case--

far from it.

Soon, authorities would begin to
suspect that the Emery's were,

in fact, alive,
the abandoned car

just the final flourish in a
well-planned dash for freedom.

Even as we med our story,
dramatic new evidence

continued to surface.

This most unusual of
cases was set in motion

by a single chance event.
- Great, thanks, you too.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
On August 31st, 1990,

Adam Emery, his wife
Elena, and another couple,

stopped for dinner at a
seafood stand in their hometown

of Warwick, Rhode Island.

It was just before 9:00 PM.

I was hungry.

Hey, that guy!

He's taking off!

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The
car sped away and disappeared

around a corner.

You've got to
chase after that guy!

Adam Emery turned on his car.

And he headed out.

And he looked off
into the distance.

And he saw a car way
off in the distance.

And his wife yelled
out, that's the car.

Let's chase them.

Get the license plates!

Get me a pen!

Did you get it?

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): The car

fixed in Emery's headlights was
driven by a 20-year-old named

Jason Bass.

His cousin and a
friend were with him.

[honking]

Cut him off, honey!

Hey, you could have killed us!

You're going to pay for this!
- Just go!

Go!

This guy's crazy!

Pull over!

Cut him off!

Take my knife.

What are you doing, man!

Wondering who this person is.

He got out of his car,
yelling and screaming.

I'm going to kick your butt.

I'm going to kill you,
major fighting words.

Unbelievably-- this
guy was so mad.

I mean, I've never seen
anybody madder than this.

I told you to pull over!

I told you to-- hey!

Stop the car!

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
While clinging to the car,

Adam began to slash
at Jason with a knife.

Help!

Police!

Josh!

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Neighbors rushed out to help.

They would soon be joined
by an off duty detective

who lived just down the street.

When I arrived, the
whole air about the scene

was very spooky.

It had a haze.

And it was a warm summer night.

And it just had a
spooky, eerie feeling

about what I was going into.

And I pulled up
thinking that it was

just a motor vehicle accident.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): It
was far more than an accident.

Jason Bass, stabbed once through
the heart, died at the scene.

I don't understand
why my son got murdered

when he was so good of a child.

We'd help anybody.

He just went and
picked up a friend

from work to take him home.

And he ended up dead.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): The tragedy

of Jason's death was compounded
by the facts that soon emerged.

He had never so much as
touched Adam Emery's car.

The Ford LTD that was
being driven by Jason Bass

was not the vehicle
that hit Adam

Emery's car at the clam stand.

They took paint chips
off of Adam's car.

And they tested
those paint chips

with the paint of
Jason Bass's car,

and proved conclusively
that it was

a different vehicle that struck
Adam Emery's car that evening.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Those who knew Adam Emery were

stunned by the turn of events.

He had never been in
trouble with the law.

Indeed, Emery had once been a
military policeman in the Rhode

Island National Guard.

Now, Adam Emery stood accused
of murder in the second degree.

His trial began on
November 5th 1993.

Any idea what you have
done to that family?

I had to defend myself.

And this person was trying to
take control of the situation.

And I had to take some action.

I had to do something.

Adam Emery's testimony
was very rigid.

It seemed rehearsed.

And I think the jurors
picked up on that.

He never expressed any
remorse for killing someone.

He said that he stabbed
Jason Bass in self-defense.

He had no choice.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The
trial ended on November 10th,

Adam Emery's 31st birthday.

Members of the jury find the
defendant Adam Emery guilty

of murder in the second degree.

Right after he was convicted,
Elena Emery kind of muttered

to herself, it's my fault.
And then she got very tense,

and sort of clenched
her jaw, and said,

I'm going to kill someone.

I'm going to kill someone.

The courtroom exploded
into a time bomb of emotion.

You had the Bass family there,
who the person who murdered

their son was convicted.

You had a very close
family on Adam's side

and on Elena's side,
who now their son is

going to jail for 20 to life.

And there was crying,
and emotion, and anger.

And there was a
great mix of emotion

in that courtroom on that day.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Just moments

after the verdict, a news
crew caught this scene

inside the courtroom.

Elena was pretty emotional,
I guess because of the verdict.

Adam-- Adam didn't have
any emotions at all.

It was like he didn't
care one way or the other.

In my mind, I think
that Adam knew he wasn't

going to serve any time at all.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
By nightfall, Adam and Elena

would be dead, or so it
seemed, until police began

to reconstruct the
events leading up

to the apparent double suicide.

Adam Emery was allowed
to remain free on bail

pending formal sentencing
one month later.

He and Elena left the
courthouse at about 3:00 PM.

3:35-- the Emery's showed up in
a local sporting goods store.

Hi, excuse me, do you
have any more ab weights?

Sure.

Elena was far from nervous.

She smiled.

She was talkative.

It didn't seem like there
was anything on her mind,

or she had anything planned.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
The Emery's bought

sweatsuits, athletic socks,
and 80 pounds of strap

on exercise weights.

But, curiously, the salesman
reported that Adam was

disturbed by the total bill.

To police, saving money seemed
an unlikely concern for someone

about to take his own life.

At 4:45 PM, Adam
and Elena pulled up

at the Newport bridge.

The previous hour, they
had been observed calmly

dining at a fast
food restaurant,

which also seemed out of
character for a couple bent

on suicide.

4:50 PM, the Emery's were
seen outside their car

on the walkway of the bridge.

By 5:15, Adam and
Elena had driven away.

Apparently, the Emery's
returned to the bridge.

Their car was reported
as abandoned at 6:53 PM.

The search for the bodies
of Adam and Elena Emery

was one of the most extensive
in the history of Rhode Island.

SONAR-equipped boats probed
the bottom of the bay.

Teams of divers searched
the bridge footings,

and trained dogs scoured
miles of shoreline.

In the end, not a
single scrap of evidence

was recovered from the bay.

The investigation
stalled until detective

Hopkins remembered
the courtroom footage,

and had an inspiration.

I obtained that tape.

And I took it to a person
who was hearing impaired.

One of her means
of communication

is to read people's lips.

And I asked her if
she could interpret

the conversation
that was being held

between Adam and Elena Emery.

Said, you promised me.

Said you promised me?

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Hours of reviewing

and replaying the tape finally
yielded Elena's furtive words.

We're going to do
what we originally said.

You promised me.

You're positive?

We're going to do what
you originally said,

you promised me?

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): In the end,

the cryptic exchange
left investigators

about where they started.

Clearly, the Emery's
had made a plan.

But was it a desperate
suicide pact or a bold scheme

to run from the law?

We should have
done this before.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Nine months

after the Emery's disappeared,
a fisherman working

the Narragansett Bay
found two human leg

bones snagged in his net.

Clinging to one was a fragment
of sock, identical to those

purchased by Adam and Elena.

I took the blue
gold and blue bands

to a marine biologist
in an attempt

to get a timeframe
as to how long

the bones were in the water.

There was the determination
of the marine biologist

that there was no
micro organisms growing

within the webbing of the
material, which told me

as the investigator that
the bones with this material

wrapped around them were not
under the water for the period

of nine months, and
that because of that,

they could not be
Adam and Elena Emery.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): In addition,

a forensic anthropologist
judged with 85%

certainty that the
bone most likely

was from a white male,
no more than five

feet seven inches tall.

Adam Emery was 6'1 1".

When "Unsolved Mysteries"
arrived in Rhode Island

to film this story
in August of 1994,

there was considerable
evidence suggesting Adam

and Elena Emery had fled.

However, their families firmly
believed the young couple

had jumped to their deaths.

By the time we finished filming,
the case had once again taken

a totally surprising turn.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
On August 30th,

Detective Hopkins responded to
an urgent call from the harbor.

Narragansett Bay had yielded up
another grim piece of evidence.

I'm here to announce
today that the skull that

was recovered August 30th,
1994 from the east passage

of Narragansett Bay has
been positively identified

as that of Elena Emery.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Elena
Emery had at last been found.

But to date, there has
been no trace of Adam.

Perhaps, his bones are
deep in Narragansett bay.

Or, perhaps, the day will come
when Adam Emery turns up alive.

If so, he would almost certainly
face one final question--

how did it come to
pass that Elena,

alone, jumped to her death?

Officially, the
case remains open.

Reliable sources say there
is reason to believe Adam

Emery never committed suicide.

Emery is 6 feet 1 inch
tall, and weighs 195 pounds.

He has black hair and blue eyes.

Next, the search for
a Texas man accused

of murdering his girlfriend.

[music playing]

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Lockhart, Texas,

Monday, December 27, 1993--

Jack White arrived
at his daughter's

house filled with apprehension.

Patricia White, a
38-year-old nurse,

had not been seen or heard
from in nearly 24 hours.

Trish?

Trish?

Everyone was concerned about
Latricia, because she just

hadn't gone to work Monday.

And she never, never fails to
go to work, or at least call.

Trish?

Trisha?

It was kind of dark in the room.

And I just called her.

Then I went over and felt her.

I knew that she was dead.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Latricia White

had been shot six times in the
head with a .22 caliber weapon.

Her death stunned her friends
and neighbors in Lockhart.

Latricia was known as a
dedicated and caring nurse.

In addition to the
grieving community,

Latricia left behind
two children, and a host

of unanswered questions.

From the onset,
investigators were puzzled.

Despite the violent
nature of the crime,

there were no signs
of a struggle,

and nothing in the house
had been disturbed.

Just as puzzling was a
mysterious disappearance

of Latricia's live-in
boyfriend, a local trucker

Lee Walker Hoggin
Jr., nicknamed Dub.

Also missing was
Dub's 9-year-old son

Chance, who had been visiting
for the Christmas holidays.

The fact that her
boyfriend Dub, Walker Hagen,

could not be found, led us
to several different areas

to investigate.

Number one, is he a suspect?

Could he have
committed this crime?

The other one is,
or is he a victim?

Has he also been injured?

Three days later, an
unexpected discovery--

Dub's pickup truck was found
abandoned in Austin, Texas,

approximately 30 miles
from the crime scene.

For it to be there
and be locked up,

it is well-known in
the law enforcement

community in the Austin area
that this is a high crime area.

And for that vehicle to be
found there really surprised me.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): In the cab,

investigators
found Dub's hunting

rifle, which had not been fired,
his checkbook, and his wallet.

In back, a tool box, spare
tire, and Christmas gifts,

some unopened, but all
streaked with blood.

Initially in
the investigation,

we felt that this blood could
have come from our victim.

That was later ruled out.

The blood type was not
the same as our victim.

So we feel like that
someone else was injured--

not seriously, but
someone else was injured.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Could that someone else

have been Dub or Chance?

The question could
not be answered.

All of the blood tests
were inconclusive.

What happened to
Dub Walker Hagen

and his 9-year-old son Chance?

It is a mystery that
has torn two families

in a small Texas town apart.

Dub and Latricia White
had grown up together.

Yet, today the police
and Latricia's family

believe that Dub murdered
Latricia in a jealous rage.

On the other hand,
Dub's family and friends

are convinced that
Dub and Chance

are also victims, that they
met with foul play themselves.

It's been going
on 11 months now.

And we haven't heard
anything from him at all.

And that tells me, if we
haven't heard from him,

then he's got to be dead.

He's not dead.

I mean, if someone had come
in and killed three of them,

why take a 270 pound body out,
and leave a much lighter one?

I mean, it just
doesn't make any sense.

I don't know who did it.

I just know that he-- that
he couldn't have-- couldn't

have done it, and
then just disappeared

off the face of the Earth.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
To the police,

however, Dub was
the obvious suspect,

especially after
they began to take

a close look at his
relationship with Latricia.

Hi, guys.

Hi, Trish.

Where were you last night?

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
At the time of the murder,

Dub and Latricia had been
living together for six months.

According to Latricia's
family, Dub was extremely

jealous and suspicious.

It was more like 45 minutes.

I wish that in the future,
if you're going to be late,

would you please give me
a call and let me know,

or try to be home on time?

Trish and him always fought.

They could fight about
a fly on the wall.

It didn't mean anything.

I don't know if they just liked
to fight, and then make up,

or whatever.

But a fight doesn't
mean anything to me,

I mean as far as them
arguing, because I

know he's not violent, as
far as you know like hitting

and stuff like that.

I lived with him.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Dub's ex-wife, Chance's mother,

disagrees.

And I saw that he was a
good man when I met him.

And when I left him, I was
scared to death of him.

He had a temper.

He treated my
oldest boy terribly.

And I was scared.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Two days before Christmas,

three days before
the murder, a friend

witnessed one of
Dub and Latricia's

more heated arguments.

He's only nine years old.
What do you expect?

I expect him to be able to--

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Dub's son Chance was apparently

the focus of the conflict.

I don't know why you're making
such a damn big deal out of it

anyway.

Excuse me, Chance.

It's not your fault.
Your father raised

you to be a spoiled brat.

Brat!
He's my son.

He's not yours.

And you have no right!

You understand me?

Well, it's my house!

Fine, we're out of here.

Chance, get your stuff.

Let's go.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
According to the friend,

Dub packed his bags and
threatened to leave.

I'm tired of your threats.

You don't have
the guts to leave!

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
However, just three nights

later, Dub, Chance, and Latricia
were seen enjoying themselves

at a local restaurant.

The incident was
apparently forgotten.

But late the next
day, Latricia's father

found her shot to
death in her bedroom.

Dub and Chance had disappeared.

Three days later, Dub
was formally charged

with first degree murder.

However, his family believes
that the authorities

have made a terrible mistake.

He wasn't that kind of man.

He just wasn't.

It wasn't in him.

He' run up on a wreck or
anything else, he'd see blood,

he'd go to pieces.

He doesn't stand blood.

He couldn't shoot nobody
six times, no way.

I believe that someone
else killed Trish.

And the reason they didn't
kill Dub there on the scene

was to make it look like
that Dub had done it.

All this time, they've been
looking for Dub and Dub only,

the law has.

They've never looked
for anybody else.

So whoever did do it has
gotten away with it so far.

Now, under normal
circumstances,

Dub was an easy going,
very likable person.

But if he was
pushed to the point,

and enraged, and
made mad enough--

and we feel that probably
Chance was the trigger,

Chance was the pivot point--

that this set him off.

And he did something,
committed this act,

that had he been given
five minutes to stop,

and back off, and
think about it,

he probably would
not have done it.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Four months passed,

but no sign of Dub or Chance.

Then, at the house of
Chance's maternal grandfather.

Hello?

BOY: Help me.

Help me.

Hello?

Hello?

All he said was, help me.

And then the phone was
jerked out of his hand,

and slammed down.

And I looked over at my wife.

And I said, that was Chance.

Could the plea for help have
come from Chance Walker Hagen?

Dub's family is convinced
the answer is no.

They believe the
phone call was a hoax,

and that Dub and
Chance were murdered.

Latricia's family
dismisses that scenario.

They believe that
Dub is a killer,

and still very much alive.

I feel someone in his
family is helping him,

because I just don't think
a person can just disappear

and not get help from
somewhere to help you survive,

and to get to where you need
to go without being caught.

I haven't heard from him.

I haven't given him any
money, haven't done nothing.

And there is no way that
him, Dub, and that boy Chance

can survive without money.

They just want to believe
that we know where they are,

and that we're helping them,
because that way they know

that Chance and Dub were alive.

But they can't be alive,
because we would have heard.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Lee Dub Walker Hagen

is 40 years old,
six feet four inches

tall, and weighs 240 pounds.

He has blue eyes and blond hair.

Investigators
believe that he could

be practically anyone
because of his connections

in the trucking industry.

Chance Walker Hagen
is 10 years old,

and weighs
approximately 64 pounds.

He has blue eyes, blond
hair, and a fair complexion.

I want to find out
what happened to him.

I want to know one
way or the other.

And I want everyone else to
know, because none of us,

none of the families, can have
any kind of peace whatsoever.

You know, the Whites
have lost their daughter.

And lost her son, and
we've lost two people.

And I think that
we all need to know

what really happened to him.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Next, see

how your tips led to the
capture of a dangerous fugitive.

[music playing]

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
On August 19, 1992,

20-year-old Travis
Wade Duncan staged

a brazen daylight raid on
the Seminole County jail

in Oklahoma.

He fled the scene
with two inmates, John

Fisher and Timothy Johnson.

Duncan himself had been
an inmate at the jail

until just the day before.

With Duncan behind the
wheel, the three fugitives

led authorities on a
reckless, high speed chase

through central Oklahoma,
a run and gun battle

that lasted more than an hour.

Every time he'd lean out and
try to draw a bead on my unit,

then I would go to the
left or the driver side

to get as far over as I could
to get out of the line of fire.

This is something that you
expect to see on the movies.

But you don't really
expect it to happen to you.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): By 7:30 PM,

the three fugitives had
rampaged along a 150 mile

stretch of Interstate
40 at speeds

of up to 100 miles per hour.

But nothing slowed the pursuit,
not even a homemade bomb.

That Molotov cocktail
failed to ignite,

because it hit the road,
the wind, the high speed,

blew wick out of it
and it was smoldering.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
The chase finally ended

on the shores of Kerr Lake.

After a brief firefight,
Fisher, Duncan, and Johnson

fled into the woods.

Unwittingly, they had trapped
themselves on a peninsula

jutting into the lake.

Come out!

Don't shoot!

Put your hands
up over year head!

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Within an hour,

Fisher and Johnson were
cornered and taken into custody.

But Travis Duncan and somehow
managed to elude the dragnet.

For more than 20 months, his
whereabouts remained a mystery.

Update-- on May 5th,
1994, Travis Wade Duncan

finally came home to
Seminole County, Oklahoma,

five days after he was
arrested in Boise, Idaho.

Thanks to a tip from
an alert viewer,

Duncan's life on the
run is finally over.

We believe that he went from
Oklahoma, to North or South

Carolina, has went into
Washington and Oregon,

went to Hawaii, was in
Arizona prior to being

arrested in Boise, Idaho.

So he had traveled around doing
odd jobs, living from one state

to another.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Once in custody,

Duncan willingly revealed
the details of his escape

from Kerr Lake.

Travis told me
that after the crash,

he stayed in the woods,
traveled through the woods,

until he came to the edge
of the water on Kerr Lake.

He stayed hid in the bushes
till about an hour after dark.

And then he swam a cove, which
would be approximately half

a mile wide, and then came up,
and stayed in the tree line,

and walked a mountain line out.

And he was able to catch a ride,
and go east from that area.

I'm delighted that
he's behind bars.

That kind of ends this story.

And I'm completely
satisfied with the results,

that nobody was injured.

He was apprehended.

And he's facing the
years in the penitentiary

that he's looking at.

Next week, join me for
a special presentation,

"Mysteries of the Afterlife."

On a stormy evening in
1975, Dannion Brinkley

was struck by a powerful
bolt of lightning.

Dannion says he
embarked on a remarkable

near-death experience,
which apparently

left him with psychic powers.

Just days before her wedding,
21-year-old Karen Walker

passed away after a long,
painful battle with cancer.

Karen's mother claims that ever
since, Karen has communicated

with her, imparting
valuable lessons on living

from beyond the grave.

And the chilling tale of a young
girl's encounter with the dead.

Heidi Warwick's parents
were stunned to learn

that her imaginary
playmates might, in fact, be

the restless spirits
of real people

who are passed to
the other side.

Join me next Friday,
as we explore

the mysteries of the afterlife.
