[Music]

on July 23rd 1980 in a small Michigan

farming community newlyweds Dave and

Shannon Davis prepared to go for a

sunset horseback ride

within an hour Shannon was dead

[Music]

according to Dave Shannon was not an

experienced writer when they reached the

edge of the woods she lost control and

fell off the horse striking her head

violently on the ground

[Music]

Dave's simple and plausible story was

immediately accepted by the couple's

family and friends I felt that Shannon's

marriage was made in heaven

I really felt this I had began to love

David I described him probably to a lot

of people as a man's man

he was an outdoor person hunting fishing

he just was very manly and very likeable

and she'd say isn't he neat mom and I

thought it was neat I thought he would

protect her from anything I had no idea

what he was really like after Shannon's

death Bob and Lucille Moore began to

discover that Dave Davis was not the man

he seemed to be they began to find clues

and days behavior which led them to

believe that their daughter's death was

not an accident Dave Davis has now

disappeared there's a warrant out for

his arrest but the Mohr's are afraid

that their son-in-law may have gotten

away with a perfect crime at the

hospital

Shannon was pronounced dead of the

injuries caused by her fall minutes

later Shannon's parents were surprised

and upset on Dave insisted that their

daughter's body be cremated I said can

we take Shannon back to Toledo for bury

list please let's take her back to

Toledo let's take her home it's not what

she wanted I suppose our voices were

getting a little bit loud because I

don't believe in cremation I knew

Shannon didn't want that I felt so

strongly that if he was going to insist

on it I was gonna go try and find a

judge and get a temporary restraining

order to stop him from doing it

that night Lucille couldn't sleep she

remembered that her husband Bob had

caught Dave in a lie about life

insurance

Bob says David do you have insurance on

Shannon he said no and it just shot

right through me I remembered Shannon

coming home from her honeymoon the very

next day saying David took out a large

life-insurance on me that was the first

line picked up three days later Shannon

was buried Bob and Lucille Moore noticed

that Dave seemed unmoved

I blessed the body of Shannon holy water

after the funeral Shannon's parents

found out that David lived a life of

deceit he bragged that he'd been wounded

get Nam his own parents said he was

never in the service all this was

crowding in on me and I just all I could

think inside is David did you kill my

daughter and it just was there I knew

that he had murdered my daughter I

didn't know what to do with it I felt

ashamed I just felt like I was going

crazy inside

two days after the burial six separate

insurance companies contacted the

funeral home requesting copies of

Shannon's death certificate her death

left Dave Davis the beneficiary of three

hundred and thirty thousand dollars Bob

Moore then discovered the Dave may have

been involved in other insurance scams

he burnt the farm down across the road

and he had other fires and the fake

injury from when he worked for the

automotive company so I think he was

just out to live on insurance money and

he just kept getting bigger and bigger

all the time

he started out with a simple fire and

now he was up to the point where he was

gonna collect big insurance at Bob and

Lucille Moore's insistence Shannon's

body was exhumed the medical examiner

found the injuries on the body

consistent with a fall from a horse

indications of an unknown drug however

were found in Shannon's body but the

medical report still ruled Shannon's

death an accident three months later an

article in the Detroit Free Press

exposed Dave's alleged insurance

swindles the case was reopened and Dave

moved to Florida detective Don Brooks

was assigned to the investigation the

information was contained in that

newspaper article was phenomenal I

thought if this is even 50 percent

accurate we're on to something here

Brooks contacted the toxicologist who

had earlier found traces of the unknown

drug in Shannon's body I explained to

him that we had a very large number of

chemicals that we were looking at

there's over 250 thousand chemicals in

common use and we had searched for and

ruled out maybe a thousand and I said

what I need is some help

metagraph right this is it you see the

deepika right here and you see how nice

and clean it is because it's so clean

that means that I think it's a drug this

is important to the case it's gotta be

if we can identify he asked me actually

for information about Davis's background

one of the things I told him was that he

was a Dirt Farmer and he had some large

animals on the farm doctor 49 then

discussed the idea of contacting

veterinarians in the area that may have

serviced Dave Davis I talked to you a

little bit earlier I happened to ask

three different vets in area if they

knew of any drugs that may affect the

muscular system or the nervous system

that they would use on large farm

animals and when I did so one of the

veterinarians I talked to provided me

the name of a drug dr. Forni tested that

drug an animal tranquilizer it matched

perfectly the sample taken from

Shannon's body now Brookes needed to

connect the drug the Dave Davis we're

able to determine that several years ago

Dave Davis took part in a deer hunting

camp at which members of the camp used

this drug to hunt deer with with bow and

arrows Sharon was exhumed a second time

to injection marks were found one on

Shannon's shoulder and one on her wrist

Dan Brooks called and he said bingo they

found Shannon is injected with something

and we're going to move now we're going

to get him on October 13th 1981 a grand

jury issued a first-degree murder

warrant for Dave Davis

[Music]

detective Brooks believes that Dave

Davis pushed or coaxed Shannon off her

horse wrestled her to the ground and

paralyzed her with a lethal tranquilizer

Brooks believes that Dave then struck

her head on a rock so that the injuries

would appear accidental I don't think

there's any question that this is

premeditated murder

I believe he married shannon davis to

kill her and to profit i want to get him

and I want him see him locked up and I

want him to feel at all times that were

breathing right down his back because I

will not let go that can't bring her

back but put him put him away before he

does it to some other girl and he will

he will after our broadcast a viewer

recognized Dave Davis as an acquaintance

living in American Samoa a small island

in the South Pacific Davis was arrested

nine days later by FBI agents at the

time of his arrest Davis was living in

this house with a 20 year old Samoan

wife he told her that his first wife had

died in a tragic accident

three-and-a-half weeks later Davis was

returned to Michigan to stand trial for

murder

didn't do it police say your wife was

poisoned

after only two and a half hours of

deliberation a Michigan jury convicted

Dave Davis of first-degree murder for

Shannon's parents the verdict brought an

end to their nine years struggle for

justice this is what we waited for your

life that we got what we wanted he's

gonna be locked up the rest of his life

that's what we wanted but we're on the

rest of her life missing her that's why

I said he gave us the death penalty now

we're giving it to him

[Music]

last September he presented the mystery

of George Marsh a Kansas City laborer

who died alone in a nursing home in 1982

he had no known heirs or relatives but

he left behind a legacy of a hundred and

seventy-five thousand dollars we hope to

someone watching the broadcast might

have known George Marsh or his heirs

there were a few clues a birth

certificate showing that George Marsh

had changed his name from Joseph Zelenka

and some family photos including this

portrait of a young woman inscribed your

loving niece

Eleanor when I looked up and saw my

senior high school picture on TV I

couldn't believe it so then when he read

your loving niece Eleanor did that

that's how I signed I was just stunned I

was just amazed and then the very next

picture was Uncle Joe and I said to my

gosh that's Uncle Joe this woman Eleanor

taller is George Marcia's long-lost

niece in the high school photo

the Zelenka family lives in Rock Springs

Wyoming Joseph's brother Jim has been

looking for Joe since 1931 I'd never

know they're no idea why he kept away

from the family because there's no hard

feelings we were all United always in

everything the zelenka's are currently

waiting for a final judgment from the

public administrator's office in Kansas

City Jim and Eleanor planted divide the

hundred and seventy-five thousand

dollars among Joe's surviving relatives

but more importantly they want to

preserve Joe's memory they intend to

bring his body back to the family burial

site

[Music]

the money you don't mean as much as

finding out where he's at

I just feel good all over to know that I

located him and no worries that and I'd

be able to bring his body back to rest

with her rest of his family

[Music]

in our next story we'll meet a man who

returned home to find his house empty

the bathtub full of water a phone off

the hook and his wife missing

[Music]

April 29th 1986 10:40 a.m.

a farmer in rural Oklahoma notices an

ominous plume of smoke rising from a

nearby road we call the authorities

20 minutes later the Oklahoma Highway

Patrol arrived at the scene

they found a burning car embedded and

deserted bridge the heat was so intense

that the cart actually melted into the

metal guardrail and to which it had

crashed when Highway Patrol arrived a

body was inside the car at the time but

it was futile exercise whatsoever to try

to get two documents in the car due to

the car had already burned so bad by the

time the flames subsided the body behind

the wheel was burned beyond recognition

skid marks indicated that the car speed

at impact was 50 to 60 miles per hour to

the Highway Patrol is seemed like just

another senseless accident a computer

check revealed the car belonged to Pat

Conway who lived with his family in

Lawton Oklahoma 15 miles from the crash

site the next day the victim was

identified as Pat's wife of 33 years

Aileen the Oklahoma Highway Patrol ruled

Aileen Conway's death is a one vehicle

fatality accident within hours of the

crash however a number of mysterious

discrepancies emerged which led Pat

Conway to believe that his wife had in

fact been a victim of foul play there's

no doubt in my mind it was murder and if

I live to be a hundred years old I'll

still be pushing to try to find the

individual or possibly two individuals

whoever was involved

[Music]

Patt first became suspicious when he

returned home a few hours after the

accident the patio door was wide open

Hayley's purse which she always carried

with her was sitting by an armchair her

driver's license and glasses were still

in it an ironing board is setup and the

iron had been left on water from a

garden hose was running into the

backyard swimming pool and most

significantly in the master bathroom at

the back of the house

the tub was still full of water and the

phone was off the hook

the thing that really got my attention

was the phone being off the hooker so

she had attempted to make a phone call

possibly the police department we have

no way of knowing who between me and the

kids one would say one thing and one

another and we start putting it together

and and right away we find out when

there was no accident at all another

disturbing detail magnate Pat what was

Aileen doing out on that lonely country

road neither of them had ever been in

the area and there was certainly no

reason for Aileen to be there by herself

nothing about his wife's death made

sense Pat contacted ray Anderson at the

district attorney's office the first

impression that I had of this case when

I met with mr. Conway was that of a

spouse that was left alone and behind

not expecting the tragedy that happened

and looking for an excuse or looking for

some reason why this happened other than

than just being an accident

however when you start looking at the

extenuating and surrounding

circumstances the way that she left her

house then it leads you to believe that

there is possibility that there can be

foul play that you and I take that side

of the road and I'll take this dad just

kind of look for anything a few days

later Pat and Ray Anderson went to the

crash site looking for clues any clue

hey could you come over here a minute

200 feet from the bridge they found a

church bulletin in the grass yeah this

is the church built and out of our car

from the previous Sunday can it was on

the dash of the car all right are you

sure that side of your car you think I'm

positive no doubt that's where it was a

lien always drove with the windows

rolled up and the air conditioning

turned on the bulletin could not have

flown out of a moving car the car would

had to have been stopped someone else

may have been with her opened the door

set the accelerator and slammed it into

drive hoping to run mrs. Conway off into

the creek and to make it appear as

though it was an accident

as a result of Anderson's investigation

the Lawton District Attorney changed the

official cause of death from accidental

to unexplained the DA then asked the

Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation

and the State Fire Marshal to evaluate

the likelihood of arson what made me

suspicious at first was looking

photographs and seeing how much burn

that was in the vehicle this thing was

completely burnt destroyed the burn was

similar that were gasoline or something

that like that was used in it and

another thing that brought my curiosity

up was in fact that the gas cap was

missing and most arson cases and this is

documented of a vehicle the gas cap is

removed and that was the case here

in formal burn tests on dashboard and

upholstery samples from a car similar to

a liens suggest the inside of her car

may have been doused with gasoline we

took the material and we applied a

blowtorch to it set the material on

florrum then remove the wrote orange and

the buyer went out which is consistent

with a flame retardant type material and

then we took some gasoline and sokka

material and then of course the thing

was completely destroyed and being

without some type of an accelerant like

gasoline the fire would not burn that

back if a lien Conway was murdered on

the bridge that day one question still

remains why we don't really have an

answer for what put her out there a lot

of theories floating around perhaps she

interrupted a burglary we backtracked a

little bit into the neighborhood and

apparently there had been reports of

burglaries in the weeks and months

preceding this situation so the

possibility of an interrupted burglary

is there it had to be robbery whoever

came in didn't know she was here and

once they found out she was here they

didn't want to leave her to identify

them so then this makes murderers out of

them if this case is so Billy because

that there will be somebody that talks

there will be somebody that admits their

involvement in this and of course I'm a

firm believer that that's what normally

captures they're criminals is their

inability to keep their mouth shut

no one knows exactly what happened to a

lien Conway on a remote country bridge

in Oklahoma that day a year later at

Conway is still searching for answers

even though you're discouraged you you

keep pushing it every day you constantly

think about it when you go to bed of an

eider get up in the morning it's on your

mind on time but somehow it needs to be

solved

I'll never quit as far as trying to

solve the case

next the story of Glen and Bessie Hyde

who disappeared on a perilous rafting

trip on the Colorado River

both were soon lost until a woman

claiming to be Bessie Hyde said she

murdered her husband

[Music]

the Colorado River cuts through the

grande cap perilous stretch of water

that was once considered the most

dangerous in the world

in 1928 two newly weds set out to

navigate these pressures whitewater

rapids were never seen again every cold

a Grand Canyon photographer was one of

the last people to see them alive 50

years later when the cold died

authorities were surprised by a gruesome

discovery in his boathouse on the rim of

the canyon hidden in a canoe was a

single human skeleton that appeared to

have suffered a violent death

whose bones were these

how did the victim die

one good option would be that the

individual met death by homicide a

second option would be suicide it would

be nice to know who this individual was

I mean somebody is missing somebody was

out there and there may be friends or

relatives who would very much like to

know who it is

the disappearance of the honeymoon

couple and the discovery of the human

remains in the boathouse happened almost

50 years apart yet they were connected

by an article in an Idaho newspaper and

by the Arizona law authorities they

suggested that the bones might be those

of the adventurous young river after

Glen Hyde tonight we'll examine these

mysteries of the Grand Canyon what

happened at Glen Hyde and his bride

Bessie is their disappearance connected

to the secrets of the bones in the

boathouse Glen and Bessie Hyde were

married in Twin Falls Idaho on April

10th 1928 Glen was 27 Bessie just 18

years old

that fall they built a boat for a

special honeymoon adventure a trip down

the Colorado River to California through

the dangerous Grand Canyon Glen was a

thrill seeker this journey would mean

instant notoriety Glen wanted to make a

record run through the Grand Canyon you

want to do it in a homemade boat you

want to do it with a new bride who had

never been on rivers before and he

wanted to do without life jackets in the

fall of the year about six months after

they were married they were in Green

River Utah an experienced River man at

the Green River looked at the boat and

he thought it looked to him like a

coffin it was unlike anything that had

run down the Colorado before

the hides took 26 days to get from Utah

to the Bright Angel Trail to the heart

of the Grand Canyon a new record where

the most dangerous stretch still ahead

they stopped to see Emery Kolb who had

already twice navigated the Colorado

River Rapids Kolbert arrived at the

canyon in 1902 and said about

documenting its grandeur his stunning

photographs and immense knowledge of the

river soon made Emery Kolb a legend he

was a very enthusiastic about his River

trips and so proud of everybody that I

know those interested in the river at

all all the years I was there first came

and talked to em Rico well the Hyde's

visited cold Bessie had grown tired of

the river trip Henry tried to warn them

of the certain dangers ahead he asked

them to stay with him through the winter

and postpone their trip until the

weather improved he even offered the

couple his own life jackets but Glenn

refused all coab's offers there's really

no reason to fear both Bessie and I are

good strong swimmers come on Bessie the

light will be fading mr. cope told me

that he tried his best everywhere in the

world are talking about it going he said

you have no idea of what you're getting

into he's not been there and I know what

it's like

Thank You me exactly there isn't and

even inner tubes in the went flat for

you he said that I'm gonna do it without

or else

[Music]

two days later Glen and Bessie

disappeared

Army aviators flew into the canyon and

spotted the empty boat below Diamond

Creek

[Music]

Emery Kolb was asked to lead the search

party to find the last couple

surprisingly when he discovered the boat

it was undamaged boats seemed to be

intact it closed food

Glen's rifle was on board camera with

exposed film there's a very sketchy

diary but a diary that Bessie Hyde had

been keeping was on board they found

everything there except for the people

there's no sign of them

the bodies of Glen and Bessie Hyde were

never recovered 50 years later the

discovery of the bones in Kolb's

boathouse fueled speculation could these

be the remains of Glen Hyde and how are

they connected to Emery Kolb

get him examined the authorities turned

the skeleton over to dr. Walter Burke be

an expert in the science of identifying

human remains he discovered that the

bones are of a male Caucasian 20 to 23

years of age 6 feet tall with light

brown hair dr. Brooke B also discovered

a bullet embedded in the skull what we

found out from the from the bullet that

was removed from the skull was that not

only was this a 32 caliber projectile

that came from revolver that began

manufacturing about 1902 two point one

centimeters the production date of the

gun and clothing fragments found with a

skeleton suggest the death occurred in

the 1920s during that time only two

people Glen and Bessie Hyde are known to

have disappeared in the Grand Canyon

stature still somewhere along the line I

heard a rumor to the effect that Emery

Kolb could have murdered Glen Hyde in

order that he could have I guess

beautiful Bessie it's so preposterous

and that I just can't believe it that he

would off somebody and and then keep the

damn body around you got verticality on

his marriage yes we're gonna have to

rotate that more than the left dr. Burke

be hoped up with the rumors to rest you

superimposed a photograph of Glenn over

the skull to precisely compare bone

structure even more this was the only

way to determine if the skeleton was

indeed

knives these skull is of a different

shape than the face of Glenn hide the

eye orbits themselves are angled in a

different direction than Glenn heights

the cheeks are wider even the shape of

the chin is wrong when hides chin was

somewhat rounded as we can see on the

photograph whereas the chin of the

submitted skull tends to be fairly

squared off so those features alone do

not match these remains these bones were

submitted for analyses are not the

remains of Glenn hide period end of

story

but the story in fact does go on the

mystery deepens

if the balls did not belong to Glen Hyde

and what happened to Glen and Bessie

[Music]

the answer may lie in the eyewitness

reports claim Bessie Hyde is still alive

and that she was seen back in the Grand

Canyon retracing the steps of her

ill-fated honeymoon adventure 43 years

after she disappeared in 1971 an unknown

woman took a 20-day rafting trip through

the canyon geologist George Billingsley

was also in the party she was a very

serious person she was always just

watching the canyon and helping out a

little bit around camp all time wanted

to do something and very happy but quiet

and pretty much to herself towards the

end of the trip they made camp at

Diamond Creek the same spot where Glen

and Bessie Spode had been found four

decades earlier that evening a river

guide told the legend of the missing

couple and the woman matter-of-factly

revealed her true identity I'm Bessie hi

she told us seriously enough to where we

wouldn't sure what else to say

but we all figured she was just making

up her own story now but later on you

know we got to thinking now maybe she

really was Bessie because the age was

she never smiled when she said what she

said as if she really knew he beat me up

according to the woman Glenn was

obsessed with completing the trip no

matter how dangerous when she tried to

leave a fight erupted

[Music]

I've got the full name of the woman then

eventually contacted her back in Ohio

the one I asked her about the hides and

their disappearance she denied

everything she said she hadn't told the

story she said she didn't know anybody

named Hyde and she says she wasn't

Bessie Hyde my gut feeling though is

that she was the mystery surrounding the

story still remain unsolved if the bones

at Emory copse boathouse are not Glen

hides whose are they and why did coke

keep them hidden in that canoeing for so

many years the mysteries have survived

the years and for now they remain part

of the legend of the Grand Canyon

[Music]

next the story of a woman trapped in her

house by agoraphobia the irrational fear

of unknown people and places strangely

she has vanished

the Bay Area Rapid Transit System known

to commuters as the Bart trains link San

Francisco with the East Bay cities

On June 12th 1985 jewel Kaler drove his

wife Dottie to the BART station in

Pleasant Hill California 18 miles from

Oakland she entered the station and

purchased a ticket a simple task

performed each day by millions but this

was a test of courage for Dottie Caylor

Dottie suffers from agoraphobia an

irrational overwhelming fear being in

public places facing the unknown and the

possibility of panic shadows every step

no one knows if Dottie overcame her fear

that day and actually boarded the train

what is certain is that for two and a

half years there's been no trace of

Dottie King

[Music]

Oh after the first few days I thought

that she had left temporarily too well

simply make things inconvenient for me I

think that Dottie could have disappeared

to get even with her husband who had

disappeared on her for half of their

married life she could have done that in

the beginning it's very hard to imagine

her doing that for a great long period

of time immediately after she

disappeared daddy's friends wondered why

a woman so afraid of the unknown would

leave behind everything she had and

everyone she knew at first they thought

she may have left to escape an unhappy

marriage start a new life in another

city but as a months and years elapsed

there was no word from Dottie holidays

birthdays and anniversaries went by now

daddy's friends and family are wondering

could she really have vanished

voluntarily or was her disappearance

more sinister in 1973 Dottie married

jewel cater an entomologist with a

national forest service they settled in

the Oakland suburb of Concord but over

the years her home became a self-imposed

prison

Dottie had what doctors have called

agoraphobia she would stay inside most

of the time she couldn't even apply for

a job much less hold one down it was a

real problem

[Music]

dottie and Jules Mary's deteriorated da

D was often a home alone because jewel

was working out of town over 50% of the

time then in November of 1981 the

relationship erupted in violence she

told me that they got in an argument it

escalated to the point where he finally

hit her with a board or something and

she received a wound in her head and and

that she did grab some scissors and said

you keep away from me and protected

herself and she was standing over top of

me with those scissors Jewell says that

dotty started the fight swearing at me

and saying I'll kill you you son I'll

kill you and I grabbed her little typing

stand and hit her with it dotty needed

to pull together the threads of her

disintegrating life so in 1984 she

joined a support group called women in

transition without ever telling jewel

she attended meetings for over a year I

met her in the fall and of course the

last time I saw her was in late spring

and I thought she'd made a tremendous

amount of progress actually as time went

on I would notice she's adding a little

more color to her outfits she is taking

a little more care with her hair she cut

her hair in a new style which was very

scary thing for her It was as if a new

Dottie were emerging

she had secret lives a secret existence

that I knew nothing about and she wanted

it that way she pursued that I only

began to become aware of it Oh near the

time that she disappeared I wasn't even

aware of it I was just suspicious

Dottie secretly rented a post office box

as she could receive mail without jewels

knowledge she opened a personal bank

account and transferred five thousand

dollars into a cashier's check then one

month before Dottie disappeared jewel

told her he had to accept a job transfer

to Salt Lake City

dottie had said in the event that i got

transferred that she was not interested

in going with me so I wasn't expecting

her to go with me and wouldn't even have

wanted her to I guess according to

Jewell on Wednesday June 12th dotty set

off on an overnight trip he drove her to

the Pleasant Hill BART station I took

her down to the BART station she had

with her a little overnight bag and I

dropped her off then she walked around

the corner of the station and

disappeared jewel is certain that dotty

had her purse as well as her overnight

bag as she walked into the station for

the last time but he can't be sure that

Dottie ever boarded the train

the next day around noon Jill returned

home early from work and got off the

train at the Concord BART station in the

parking lot he was surprised to find

daddy's Volkswagen next to his car

so I walked over and looked inside and

then I noticed her purse and that was

very very strange she told me how

important it was to her to have her

purse with her all the time she felt

secure if she felt she had a lot of her

things with her and she felt safe out in

the world that's one of the things that

made me feel so terribly upset when I

realized that she had not taken her

purse with her jewel left a note on

Daddy's car asking her to contact him

over the next four days he left two more

notes talking about problems he was

having with a house he also expressed

his love and pleaded with her to come

home I spoke to jewel and jewel told me

that he hadn't seen her for three or

four days and he didn't know where she

was and that she that her car was was

there her purse was there and he didn't

know where she was I was extremely upset

I asked him if he called the police and

he said that he had not and this made me

very just almost hysterical five days

after Dottie vanished jewel filed a

missing persons report with a Bay Area

Rapid Transit Police the following day

the Concord Police Department was

finally notified of Dottie's

disappearance not by jewel but by the

BART police

two weeks after Dottie vanished jewel

moved to Salt Lake City where he still

lives and works back in Concord Dianne

hired a private investigator

Francie Kohler

the status of the case of this coin is

we view it as I view it as 10%

missing-persons case and 90% potential

foul play as their attempts to locate

dotty turned up no new leads Diana and

Francie started to worry that dotty

might be dead they began to consider

jewel as suspect we don't know for sure

if dotty ever got to the BART station

the only one that has reported that

dotty went to the BART station is her

husband jewel we don't know if she ever

got there if this was proves to be

anything other than a straight

disappearance case jewel will be a

suspect in her disappearance or in her

death whatever it may be you know along

with anybody else that may have been

close to her at the time or prior to her

disappearance you would certainly

consider those around that person as

being possible possible suspects no that

doesn't bother me at all I suspect that

she either willfully disappeared and

then was helped to permanently disappear

or perhaps just got in with the the the

wrong person right at the start

two and a half years have passed and

still no one knows if dotty cater built

a secret life for herself to escape an

unhappy marriage or if she was simply

the victim of foul play

I think there's a chance that Dottie is

dead which is very disturbing to think

about I have many dreams about this and

the authorities I speak to and the

friends I speak to come up with hundreds

of ideas there's no peace there's no

rest

there's no conclusion and we won't

forget her it was hell living with

Dottie it was hell having her disappear

the way that she did and yet since I've

gotten here and gotten settled and into

a new job and that whole problem is

behind me

things are really pretty good

[Music]

tonight's mysteries are stories without

endings all missing that one vital clue

perhaps someone watching tonight knows

what happened and can reveal the truth

perhaps as you

[Music]
