ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): In Arizona,
2
00:00:21,289 --> 00:00:23,491
a successful real estate
entrepreneur named Chuck
3
00:00:23,591 --> 00:00:25,426
Morgan was found shot to death.
4
00:00:25,526 --> 00:00:27,361
Some believe this was
a contract killing
5
00:00:27,461 --> 00:00:29,430
ordered by organized crime.
6
00:00:29,530 --> 00:00:32,400
The only significant clue was
a cryptic list Morgan scribbled
7
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:35,169
on the back of a $2 bill.
8
00:00:35,269 --> 00:00:36,570
1965.
9
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:39,573
The South was embroiled in the
painful civil rights struggle.
10
00:00:39,673 --> 00:00:42,210
In rural Louisiana, a
young black deputy sheriff
11
00:00:42,310 --> 00:00:44,778
is brutally murdered
by unknown gunmen.
12
00:00:44,878 --> 00:00:47,381
Today, new evidence has
surfaced and the case
13
00:00:47,481 --> 00:00:50,284
reopened by the FBI.
14
00:00:50,384 --> 00:00:53,187
In Tacoma, an unusual
and heartwarming story
15
00:00:53,287 --> 00:00:55,723
concerning a young epilepsy
victim and the dog who
16
00:00:55,823 --> 00:00:57,125
saved her life.
17
00:00:57,225 --> 00:01:00,294
Does a mysterious sixth sense
enable some animals to actually
18
00:01:00,394 --> 00:01:03,697
predict epileptic seizures?
19
00:01:03,797 --> 00:01:06,867
This is the only photograph of a
bold bank robber who has coolly
20
00:01:06,967 --> 00:01:09,103
committed a series
of successful holdups
21
00:01:09,203 --> 00:01:11,071
without ever being identified.
22
00:01:11,172 --> 00:01:15,609
Perhaps it will help
you put him behind bars.
23
00:01:15,709 --> 00:01:17,678
We'll also tell you
how you helped shed light
24
00:01:17,778 --> 00:01:19,513
on the bizarre case
of a demented arsonist
25
00:01:19,613 --> 00:01:24,017
who set fire to a house and then
callously videotaped the blaze.
26
00:01:24,118 --> 00:01:27,020
Thanks to our viewers, two
suspects, both teenagers,
27
00:01:27,121 --> 00:01:28,856
are now in custody.
28
00:01:28,956 --> 00:01:30,691
Join me once again.
29
00:01:30,791 --> 00:01:34,428
You may be able to
help solve a mystery.
30
00:01:34,528 --> 00:01:38,399
[theme music]
31
00:02:25,279 --> 00:02:26,580
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Tucson, Arizona.
32
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,350
March 22, 1977.
33
00:02:29,450 --> 00:02:32,420
Chuck Morgan left as usual to
drive two of his four daughters
34
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,255
to school.
35
00:02:34,355 --> 00:02:36,657
Riding the crest of
Tucson's real estate boom,
36
00:02:36,757 --> 00:02:39,660
Morgan had become president
of his own escrow agency.
37
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,230
From the outside, his
life looked ideal--
38
00:02:42,330 --> 00:02:47,635
the hardworking businessman,
devoted husband, and father.
39
00:02:47,735 --> 00:02:51,305
But in 1977, Chuck Morgan had
become a potential witness
40
00:02:51,405 --> 00:02:53,407
in a state land
fraud case involving
41
00:02:53,507 --> 00:02:56,076
a known organized crime boss.
42
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:59,513
And suddenly, on March
22, Morgan disappeared.
43
00:03:03,884 --> 00:03:05,719
Three days later,
Chuck Morgan returned
44
00:03:05,819 --> 00:03:07,421
home at 2:00 in the morning.
45
00:03:10,991 --> 00:03:14,127
I was in bed, and the
dog started barking.
46
00:03:14,228 --> 00:03:18,866
And I got up, and there was a
thump against the back door.
47
00:03:18,966 --> 00:03:23,003
I went to the door and opened
it, and there was Chuck.
48
00:03:23,103 --> 00:03:23,971
Chuck!
49
00:03:24,071 --> 00:03:25,172
What happened?
50
00:03:25,273 --> 00:03:27,508
RUTH MORGAN (VOICEOVER):
And he was missing a shoe.
51
00:03:27,608 --> 00:03:31,712
He had one plastic
handcuff around one ankle,
52
00:03:31,812 --> 00:03:35,449
and his hands still had them on.
53
00:03:35,549 --> 00:03:38,085
What happened to you?
54
00:03:38,185 --> 00:03:39,820
Mom, what happened to Daddy?
55
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,422
Just go back to your room.
56
00:03:41,522 --> 00:03:43,524
Go back to your room!
57
00:03:43,624 --> 00:03:45,426
RUTH MORGAN (VOICEOVER): He
kept motioning to his throat,
58
00:03:45,526 --> 00:03:46,860
because he hadn't said a word.
59
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,195
RUTH: Can you talk?
60
00:03:48,296 --> 00:03:49,397
Can you write?
61
00:03:49,497 --> 00:03:50,931
RUTH MORGAN (VOICEOVER):
And he shook his head yes,
62
00:03:51,031 --> 00:03:53,734
so I went and got
a tablet and pen.
63
00:04:04,077 --> 00:04:07,180
RUTH: Hallucino--
hallucinogenic?
64
00:04:07,281 --> 00:04:09,116
RUTH MORGAN: He wrote that
his throat had been painted
65
00:04:09,216 --> 00:04:12,653
with a hallucinogenic
drug and that drug could
66
00:04:12,753 --> 00:04:17,958
drive him irrevocably insane
or destroy his nervous system
67
00:04:18,058 --> 00:04:19,893
and kill him.
68
00:04:19,993 --> 00:04:24,031
And he wanted the car moved.
69
00:04:24,131 --> 00:04:28,969
He wanted it moved immediately,
because he said that he didn't
70
00:04:29,069 --> 00:04:31,405
want them to know he was home.
71
00:04:31,505 --> 00:04:32,973
He wouldn't tell
me who "they" were.
72
00:04:33,073 --> 00:04:34,274
I'm gonna call the police!
73
00:04:34,375 --> 00:04:35,943
RUTH MORGAN (VOICEOVER): And
I wanted to call a doctor,
74
00:04:36,043 --> 00:04:37,745
and I wanted to call the police.
75
00:04:37,845 --> 00:04:39,046
And he was adamant.
76
00:04:39,146 --> 00:04:39,947
But why?
77
00:04:43,351 --> 00:04:44,385
RUTH MORGAN: And
then he wrote out
78
00:04:44,485 --> 00:04:46,687
that that would
be signing a death
79
00:04:46,787 --> 00:04:48,055
warrant for the entire family.
80
00:04:51,224 --> 00:04:52,426
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
For one week,
81
00:04:52,526 --> 00:04:54,227
Ruth Morgan nursed
her husband, feeding
82
00:04:54,328 --> 00:04:58,231
him water with an eyedropper.
83
00:04:58,332 --> 00:04:59,967
Before his voice
returned, he began
84
00:05:00,067 --> 00:05:02,770
to allude to a secret
identity, agent
85
00:05:02,870 --> 00:05:05,238
for the federal government.
86
00:05:05,339 --> 00:05:07,741
RUTH MORGAN (VOICEOVER):
He wrote, "They took
87
00:05:07,841 --> 00:05:11,044
my Treasury
identification," and that's
88
00:05:11,144 --> 00:05:12,980
the first I'd heard of it.
89
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,015
Your Treasury ID is missing?
90
00:05:15,115 --> 00:05:16,584
What Treasury ID?
91
00:05:16,684 --> 00:05:18,552
He wouldn't talk
to me about it.
92
00:05:18,652 --> 00:05:19,920
He wrote.
93
00:05:20,020 --> 00:05:24,157
He had been working for them
for about two or three years,
94
00:05:24,257 --> 00:05:25,158
and that was it.
95
00:05:28,061 --> 00:05:30,230
Who was responsible for
this bizarre kidnapping
96
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:33,066
episode in Chuck Morgan's life?
97
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:35,469
It is possible that Morgan
really was a secret agent
98
00:05:35,569 --> 00:05:38,038
dealing with organized crime
so he could pass information
99
00:05:38,138 --> 00:05:39,640
along to the government.
100
00:05:39,740 --> 00:05:42,242
But Morgan may also, like
so many others in Arizona
101
00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:44,678
during the '70s, have
become caught up himself
102
00:05:44,778 --> 00:05:46,146
in the web of organized crime.
103
00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:51,852
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Lured by the mild climate
104
00:05:51,952 --> 00:05:54,354
and a confused and corrupt
criminal justice system,
105
00:05:54,455 --> 00:05:58,091
the mafia reportedly established
Arizona as a narcotics pipeline
106
00:05:58,191 --> 00:06:02,062
and a haven for swindlers
and money laundering.
107
00:06:02,162 --> 00:06:04,732
Led by former New York
don Joseph Bonanno,
108
00:06:04,832 --> 00:06:07,067
more than 500 established
racketeers set
109
00:06:07,167 --> 00:06:09,470
up shop here during the '70s.
110
00:06:09,570 --> 00:06:12,706
Their influence began a slew
of gangland-style killings,
111
00:06:12,806 --> 00:06:15,509
culminating in the slaying
of investigative reporter Don
112
00:06:15,609 --> 00:06:17,978
Bolles.
113
00:06:18,078 --> 00:06:21,148
What made Arizona particularly
attractive to crime syndicates
114
00:06:21,248 --> 00:06:22,650
was a unique state
law which allowed
115
00:06:22,750 --> 00:06:26,219
them to buy up land through
numbered blind trust accounts.
116
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:27,988
That way, they
themselves could remain
117
00:06:28,088 --> 00:06:31,391
anonymous, providing a nearly
foolproof way to launder money.
118
00:06:34,094 --> 00:06:36,697
Chuck Morgan did real estate
escrow work for at least one
119
00:06:36,797 --> 00:06:39,032
mafia family, and they
may also have begun
120
00:06:39,132 --> 00:06:41,268
using him to do escrow
work for purchases
121
00:06:41,368 --> 00:06:44,304
of gold bullion and platinum,
a more convenient way
122
00:06:44,404 --> 00:06:46,406
to launder money.
123
00:06:46,507 --> 00:06:50,377
It is very easy to
get in over your head.
124
00:06:50,478 --> 00:06:51,879
And I suspect that,
over the years,
125
00:06:51,979 --> 00:06:54,948
Mr. Morgan was in that
kind of a situation.
126
00:06:55,048 --> 00:06:58,051
He was a straight businessman
who probably got a little too
127
00:06:58,151 --> 00:06:59,553
close to the flame.
128
00:06:59,653 --> 00:07:02,022
Well, the sales agreement
looks all in order,
129
00:07:02,122 --> 00:07:04,925
the legal description of
the parcel, the amount.
130
00:07:05,025 --> 00:07:06,527
DON DEVEREUX (VOICEOVER):
He was around the edges
131
00:07:06,627 --> 00:07:09,296
of a couple of fairly
large organized crime
132
00:07:09,396 --> 00:07:10,898
groups in Arizona at that time.
133
00:07:10,998 --> 00:07:12,232
We've got ourselves
a deal here.
134
00:07:16,169 --> 00:07:18,739
DON DEVEREUX: The
records begin early '73,
135
00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:21,742
and it would indicate he
was doing perhaps upwards
136
00:07:21,842 --> 00:07:26,714
of a billion with a B escrow
work in bullion and platinum,
137
00:07:26,814 --> 00:07:29,617
transactions that
only existed on paper.
138
00:07:29,717 --> 00:07:33,053
There was never any gold
at that level, at least.
139
00:07:33,153 --> 00:07:35,489
And money changed hands and
moved through escrow accounts
140
00:07:35,589 --> 00:07:37,424
in Los Angeles
and Atlanta banks,
141
00:07:37,525 --> 00:07:41,328
and that's how the
monies were legitimized.
142
00:07:41,428 --> 00:07:46,634
Chuck mentioned to me once
that there was money laundering
143
00:07:46,734 --> 00:07:52,372
going on in this town,
but nothing that he
144
00:07:52,472 --> 00:07:55,308
himself was involved in.
145
00:07:55,408 --> 00:07:57,144
He told me the less
the girls and I knew,
146
00:07:57,244 --> 00:07:59,780
the better off we would be.
147
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,348
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
After his kidnapping,
148
00:08:01,448 --> 00:08:04,818
Chuck Morgan began exhibiting
a justifiable paranoia.
149
00:08:04,918 --> 00:08:06,954
He wore a bulletproof
vest and insisted
150
00:08:07,054 --> 00:08:09,657
on driving his daughters
to and from school.
151
00:08:09,757 --> 00:08:12,392
He informed the school that
no one else was authorized
152
00:08:12,492 --> 00:08:15,929
to pick the girls up.
153
00:08:16,029 --> 00:08:18,265
All his precautions
were to no avail.
154
00:08:18,365 --> 00:08:20,300
Two months after his
first disappearance,
155
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,669
Chuck Morgan vanished again.
156
00:08:25,372 --> 00:08:27,975
The last morning
that anybody saw him,
157
00:08:28,075 --> 00:08:30,678
he went up to his
parents' house.
158
00:08:30,778 --> 00:08:33,180
And he was talking to
his father and told him
159
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,515
that if anything
happened to him,
160
00:08:35,616 --> 00:08:41,454
there was a letter
explaining why, how, and who.
161
00:08:41,555 --> 00:08:44,424
The letters never surfaced.
162
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:45,693
[phone rings]
163
00:08:45,793 --> 00:08:46,860
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Nine days
164
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,461
after her husband
had disappeared,
165
00:08:48,562 --> 00:08:51,198
Ruth Morgan received a
mysterious phone call.
166
00:08:51,298 --> 00:08:53,000
The caller was a
woman who gave Ruth
167
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:55,769
a reference from the Bible.
168
00:08:55,869 --> 00:08:58,171
RUTH MORGAN: This
woman said, Ruthie?
169
00:08:58,271 --> 00:08:59,773
I said, yes?
170
00:08:59,873 --> 00:09:05,646
She said, Chuck is all right,
Ecclesiastes 12: 1 through 8,
171
00:09:05,746 --> 00:09:06,680
and then she hung up.
172
00:09:09,082 --> 00:09:10,217
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): The passage
173
00:09:10,317 --> 00:09:13,320
reads, in part, "Men are
afraid of a high place
174
00:09:13,420 --> 00:09:15,355
and of terrors on the road.
175
00:09:15,455 --> 00:09:18,191
Remember him before the
silver cord is broken
176
00:09:18,291 --> 00:09:21,128
and the golden bowl is crushed.
177
00:09:21,228 --> 00:09:24,564
Then the dust will return
to the earth as it was,
178
00:09:24,665 --> 00:09:26,967
and the Spirit will return
to God who gave it."
179
00:09:31,371 --> 00:09:33,340
Two days after Ruth's
cryptic phone message,
180
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,375
her husband's body
was discovered,
181
00:09:35,475 --> 00:09:38,979
his bulletproof vest
ironically in place.
182
00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:41,548
He had died from a single
bullet fired at close range
183
00:09:41,649 --> 00:09:43,383
into the back of his head.
184
00:09:43,483 --> 00:09:45,819
The bullet came from
his own .357 Magnum,
185
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:48,455
which was lying beside him.
186
00:09:48,555 --> 00:09:50,523
The investigators also
found a piece of paper
187
00:09:50,624 --> 00:09:52,660
with directions to the
murder site jotted down
188
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,729
in Chuck's handwriting
and a pair of sunglasses
189
00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:59,800
which definitely did
not belong to him.
190
00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:01,869
They made one
additional discovery.
191
00:10:01,969 --> 00:10:03,336
Apparently, Chuck
Morgan had clipped
192
00:10:03,436 --> 00:10:06,339
a $2 bill inside his underwear.
193
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:09,042
Written on the bill were
seven Spanish names beginning
194
00:10:09,142 --> 00:10:11,645
with the letters A
through G. Above them was
195
00:10:11,745 --> 00:10:16,183
a notation, Ecclesiastes 12,
with the verses 1 through 8
196
00:10:16,283 --> 00:10:19,419
marked by arrows drawn on
the bill's serial number.
197
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:22,122
This was the same reference
the mysterious female caller
198
00:10:22,222 --> 00:10:24,457
had given to Ruth Morgan.
199
00:10:24,557 --> 00:10:27,060
On the back of the bill, the
signers of the Declaration
200
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,697
of Independence were
numbered 1 through 7,
201
00:10:29,797 --> 00:10:32,666
and a crude map was drawn.
202
00:10:32,766 --> 00:10:35,168
DON DEVEREUX: The map
is of some roads that
203
00:10:35,268 --> 00:10:38,071
do exist between Tuscon
and the Mexican border,
204
00:10:38,171 --> 00:10:40,073
going out to a place
called Robles Junction
205
00:10:40,173 --> 00:10:43,376
and then going south to a
little town called Sasabe.
206
00:10:43,476 --> 00:10:46,646
A ranch is identified down there
where there are landing strips.
207
00:10:46,747 --> 00:10:51,551
It's an area that very likely
would be involved in smuggling.
208
00:10:51,651 --> 00:10:55,055
And there are some indications
that if Mr. Morgan was involved
209
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:57,825
in some movements of real
gold, that some of it,
210
00:10:57,925 --> 00:10:59,192
in fact, may have
been coming across
211
00:10:59,292 --> 00:11:02,930
from Mexico in that fashion.
212
00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:04,798
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Despite the puzzling evidence,
213
00:11:04,898 --> 00:11:06,700
many in the sheriff's
department believed Chuck
214
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,769
Morgan's death was a suicide.
215
00:11:08,869 --> 00:11:13,273
They claimed he had shot
himself in the back of the head.
216
00:11:13,373 --> 00:11:14,674
RUTH MORGAN: There
is no way Chuck
217
00:11:14,775 --> 00:11:17,177
would have committed suicide.
218
00:11:17,277 --> 00:11:21,614
And if he had even
contemplated suicide,
219
00:11:21,715 --> 00:11:27,120
he would have left a letter
for his girls and for me.
220
00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:31,691
It is not a very normal place
to shoot oneself as a suicide.
221
00:11:31,792 --> 00:11:35,929
And bear in mind, he's wearing
a bulletproof vest at the time.
222
00:11:36,029 --> 00:11:39,032
I have never seen, in all
my years as a journalist,
223
00:11:39,132 --> 00:11:40,968
a fellow take himself
out in the desert wearing
224
00:11:41,068 --> 00:11:42,469
a bulletproof vest
and shoot himself
225
00:11:42,569 --> 00:11:44,471
in the back of the head.
226
00:11:44,571 --> 00:11:47,007
I was familiar with
the intelligence officers
227
00:11:47,107 --> 00:11:48,541
working intelligence
for the sheriff's
228
00:11:48,641 --> 00:11:50,310
department at the time.
229
00:11:50,410 --> 00:11:52,645
I had some conversation
with them about this case.
230
00:11:52,746 --> 00:11:56,083
They thought it was a
homicide, gang related.
231
00:11:56,183 --> 00:11:58,518
They left the
sheriff's department.
232
00:11:58,618 --> 00:12:00,954
I don't know if they
left because of what they
233
00:12:01,054 --> 00:12:05,092
detected in this case or another
case or a combination of cases.
234
00:12:05,192 --> 00:12:07,895
But they indicated they
were in fear of their lives
235
00:12:07,995 --> 00:12:09,930
and actually left
law enforcement.
236
00:12:10,030 --> 00:12:13,600
Two of them left
the continental US.
237
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:14,768
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Two days
238
00:12:14,868 --> 00:12:17,170
after Chuck Morgan's
death, an anonymous woman
239
00:12:17,270 --> 00:12:19,739
spoke to a member of the Pima
County Sheriff's Department
240
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,641
on the telephone.
241
00:12:21,741 --> 00:12:24,011
She said Chuck had come to
meet her at a local motel
242
00:12:24,111 --> 00:12:25,813
just before he died.
243
00:12:25,913 --> 00:12:27,480
The woman called
herself Green Eyes
244
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:28,882
and said she was
the same one who
245
00:12:28,982 --> 00:12:33,286
had called Chuck's wife quoting
the passage from Ecclesiastes.
246
00:12:33,386 --> 00:12:35,588
Green Eyes also said
that in the motel,
247
00:12:35,688 --> 00:12:37,324
Chuck showed her a
briefcase containing
248
00:12:37,424 --> 00:12:39,659
thousands of dollars in cash.
249
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:42,329
He claimed the money would
buy him out of a gang contract
250
00:12:42,429 --> 00:12:43,897
that had been put on his life.
251
00:12:43,997 --> 00:12:45,598
How much do you have in there?
252
00:12:45,698 --> 00:12:48,836
Hopefully $60,000.
253
00:12:48,936 --> 00:12:50,838
Why do you need so much?
254
00:12:50,938 --> 00:12:53,006
DON DEVEREUX (VOICEOVER): If
the information that Green Eyes
255
00:12:53,106 --> 00:12:57,210
provided is accurate, it is,
in a very perverse sense,
256
00:12:57,310 --> 00:13:00,480
remotely possible that Mr.
Morgan paid for his own murder.
257
00:13:06,753 --> 00:13:07,921
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): The theory
258
00:13:08,021 --> 00:13:10,023
goes that organized crime
put the word out that they
259
00:13:10,123 --> 00:13:11,825
wanted Chuck Morgan dead.
260
00:13:11,925 --> 00:13:14,427
A hitman then told Chuck,
who came up with the money
261
00:13:14,527 --> 00:13:16,629
to buy the hitman off.
262
00:13:16,729 --> 00:13:18,198
But when the two of
them met in the desert,
263
00:13:18,298 --> 00:13:23,103
the hitman killed Chuck
anyway, then took his money.
264
00:13:23,203 --> 00:13:24,838
DON DEVEREUX (VOICEOVER):
There is a great likelihood
265
00:13:24,938 --> 00:13:26,506
that Mr. Morgan
was, in fact, doing
266
00:13:26,606 --> 00:13:28,441
something with the government.
267
00:13:28,541 --> 00:13:31,144
And I think somebody
blew his cover,
268
00:13:31,244 --> 00:13:32,112
and I think he got killed.
269
00:13:32,212 --> 00:13:33,013
We had a deal here!
270
00:13:33,113 --> 00:13:34,114
Go over there and kneel down!
271
00:13:34,214 --> 00:13:35,482
DON DEVEREUX
(VOICEOVER): I think
272
00:13:35,582 --> 00:13:40,453
this was a guy who was extremely
naive about a lot of things,
273
00:13:40,553 --> 00:13:42,923
the sort of associations
he suddenly found himself
274
00:13:43,023 --> 00:13:47,861
in and maybe was even asked
to put himself in by people
275
00:13:47,961 --> 00:13:48,996
in the US government.
276
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:53,867
[knocking]
277
00:13:53,967 --> 00:13:55,035
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Three weeks
278
00:13:55,135 --> 00:13:56,836
after her husband's
death, Ruth Morgan
279
00:13:56,937 --> 00:13:59,139
had two visitors claiming
to be government officials.
280
00:13:59,239 --> 00:14:00,340
This is Jack Richards.
281
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,475
We're special
agents for the FBI.
282
00:14:02,575 --> 00:14:04,044
RUTH MORGAN (VOICEOVER):
They opened and closed
283
00:14:04,144 --> 00:14:06,813
their identification very fast.
284
00:14:06,914 --> 00:14:11,418
They said they wanted to come
in and look through the house.
285
00:14:11,518 --> 00:14:14,687
I never thought at the time to
ask them for a search warrant.
286
00:14:14,787 --> 00:14:17,124
They never said what
they were looking for.
287
00:14:17,224 --> 00:14:21,328
To this day, I don't even know
what they were looking for.
288
00:14:21,428 --> 00:14:23,196
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The
two men tore Ruth Morgan's
289
00:14:23,296 --> 00:14:25,165
house apart, searching
for something which
290
00:14:25,265 --> 00:14:27,834
they seemed unable to find.
291
00:14:27,935 --> 00:14:32,205
Because she was so rattled, Ruth
did not take down their names.
292
00:14:32,305 --> 00:14:36,076
No one knows for sure if the two
men really were from the FBI.
293
00:14:36,176 --> 00:14:38,478
Don Devereux contracted
the bureau to get more
294
00:14:38,578 --> 00:14:41,114
information on the Morgan case.
295
00:14:41,214 --> 00:14:43,516
DON DEVEREUX: When I made a
formal Freedom of Information
296
00:14:43,616 --> 00:14:47,320
Act request to the FBI, they'd
never heard of Mr. Morgan,
297
00:14:47,420 --> 00:14:48,688
despite the fact
that they obviously
298
00:14:48,788 --> 00:14:51,191
opened an investigation, despite
the fact the FBI interviewed
299
00:14:51,291 --> 00:14:54,361
Mr. Morgan's attorney.
300
00:14:54,461 --> 00:14:57,030
They were all over this thing
like a blanket for a while.
301
00:14:57,130 --> 00:14:58,431
But now, they've never
heard of the guy.
302
00:14:58,531 --> 00:15:00,267
He never existed.
303
00:15:00,367 --> 00:15:01,834
No card, no file, no nothing.
304
00:15:04,437 --> 00:15:05,738
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Was Chuck Morgan
305
00:15:05,838 --> 00:15:07,941
doing undercover work
for the government?
306
00:15:08,041 --> 00:15:11,278
Were the clues he left behind on
the $2 bill an attempt to pass
307
00:15:11,378 --> 00:15:14,781
coded messages to the FBI?
308
00:15:14,881 --> 00:15:16,683
12 years later,
Ruth Morgan is still
309
00:15:16,783 --> 00:15:20,587
trying to unravel the strange
clues left by her husband.
310
00:15:20,687 --> 00:15:23,690
The passage from
Ecclesiastes haunts her.
311
00:15:23,790 --> 00:15:26,326
"While the sun or the light
or the moon or the stars
312
00:15:26,426 --> 00:15:30,863
be not darkened, nor the
clouds return after the rain.
313
00:15:30,964 --> 00:15:33,266
In the day when the keepers
of the house shall tremble--"
314
00:15:33,366 --> 00:15:36,069
I don't know what it means.
315
00:15:36,169 --> 00:15:37,837
There's a message
there somewhere.
316
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:39,306
I know there is.
317
00:15:39,406 --> 00:15:42,775
But I don't-- I don't
know what it means.
318
00:15:42,875 --> 00:15:46,046
DON DEVEREUX: I think the
$2 bill provides the basis
319
00:15:46,146 --> 00:15:47,814
for some kind of cryptography.
320
00:15:47,914 --> 00:15:51,318
I think there are the bases
or some kind of a code there.
321
00:15:51,418 --> 00:15:54,287
What seems to be missing,
however, is the document
322
00:15:54,387 --> 00:15:56,689
that the $2 bill would unlock.
323
00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:59,259
I think we need
a companion piece
324
00:15:59,359 --> 00:16:02,662
to really make ultimate
sense out of the $2 bill.
325
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:08,501
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Is there a document
326
00:16:08,601 --> 00:16:11,504
that explains the mysterious
death of Chuck Morgan tying
327
00:16:11,604 --> 00:16:14,507
all the cryptic clues together?
328
00:16:14,607 --> 00:16:16,743
Were the two men calling
themselves federal agents
329
00:16:16,843 --> 00:16:20,180
searching for the document when
they ransacked the Morgan home?
330
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:25,018
For Ruth Morgan, only
one thing is certain.
331
00:16:25,118 --> 00:16:26,786
RUTH MORGAN: He was murdered.
332
00:16:26,886 --> 00:16:31,358
Somebody held a gun to
his head and killed him.
333
00:16:31,458 --> 00:16:32,292
I don't know why.
334
00:16:34,961 --> 00:16:41,068
I-- I may never know why, and
I probably will never know who.
335
00:16:41,168 --> 00:16:44,104
But I know somebody did it.
336
00:16:44,204 --> 00:16:45,572
He was the husband of someone.
337
00:16:45,672 --> 00:16:48,108
He was the father
of four children.
338
00:16:48,208 --> 00:16:49,109
Was he a good guy?
339
00:16:49,209 --> 00:16:50,510
Was he a bad guy?
340
00:16:50,610 --> 00:16:54,414
If he was quietly providing
assistance to the US government
341
00:16:54,514 --> 00:16:55,915
and monitoring the
activities of one
342
00:16:56,015 --> 00:16:59,419
or more major organized crime
families, he wasn't a villain.
343
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:01,121
He was a good guy.
344
00:17:01,221 --> 00:17:03,723
And they need to know that.
345
00:17:03,823 --> 00:17:06,393
When the segment aired, we
received hundreds of calls
346
00:17:06,493 --> 00:17:08,595
relating to Morgan's death.
347
00:17:08,695 --> 00:17:11,564
According to Devereux, who
continued his investigation,
348
00:17:11,664 --> 00:17:14,734
many turned out to
be productive leads.
349
00:17:14,834 --> 00:17:16,002
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Three months
350
00:17:16,103 --> 00:17:19,206
later, a draftsman at a
Phoenix computer company,
351
00:17:19,306 --> 00:17:23,410
Doug Johnston, was found dead
in his car outside his office.
352
00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:26,146
Johnston had been shot
once behind the ear,
353
00:17:26,246 --> 00:17:30,083
and police have suggested
it was a possible suicide.
354
00:17:30,183 --> 00:17:32,619
Curiously, Johnston worked
across the street from Don
355
00:17:32,719 --> 00:17:34,921
Devereux's office and
drove a car that almost
356
00:17:35,021 --> 00:17:37,056
exactly matched Devereux's.
357
00:17:37,157 --> 00:17:39,292
In fact, Devereux
is now convinced
358
00:17:39,392 --> 00:17:41,594
that the bullet which
killed Doug Johnston
359
00:17:41,694 --> 00:17:43,730
was intended for him.
360
00:17:43,830 --> 00:17:47,834
I got a phone call from a
journalist friend of mine from
361
00:17:47,934 --> 00:17:52,071
Washington, DC, who had been
briefed by a high-level CIA
362
00:17:52,172 --> 00:17:56,776
official that, in fact,
that was a botched hit,
363
00:17:56,876 --> 00:18:00,113
that some people thought they
were hitting me when they
364
00:18:00,213 --> 00:18:02,615
shot the guy across the street.
365
00:18:02,715 --> 00:18:07,287
And, in fact, there was
still a contract outstanding,
366
00:18:07,387 --> 00:18:10,857
and it was coming around
again, that whatever I had done
367
00:18:10,957 --> 00:18:13,693
was still a problem to someone.
368
00:18:13,793 --> 00:18:16,028
Two other sources in
the intelligence community
369
00:18:16,129 --> 00:18:19,666
have confirmed to Don Devereux
that he is a target for murder
370
00:18:19,766 --> 00:18:20,867
and that the next
attempt will be
371
00:18:20,967 --> 00:18:22,902
made to look like an accident.
372
00:18:23,002 --> 00:18:25,405
We'll bring you a full report
on this intriguing case
373
00:18:25,505 --> 00:18:26,306
in the near future.
374
00:18:35,148 --> 00:18:38,218
Recently, we profiled a story
that generated more than 1,600
375
00:18:38,318 --> 00:18:40,487
phone calls from our viewers.
376
00:18:40,587 --> 00:18:42,355
The case involved a
fire that was apparently
377
00:18:42,455 --> 00:18:44,324
started by an
arsonist then recorded
378
00:18:44,424 --> 00:18:46,893
on videotape by the suspect.
379
00:18:46,993 --> 00:18:48,295
MAN (ON VIDEOTAPE):
This is what I've been
380
00:18:48,395 --> 00:18:49,596
doing on my week's vacation.
381
00:18:49,696 --> 00:18:50,897
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): This footage
382
00:18:50,997 --> 00:18:54,901
is from the actual videotape
found on August 15, 1989,
383
00:18:55,001 --> 00:18:56,803
by a Stockton,
California, family.
384
00:18:56,903 --> 00:18:58,605
MAN (ON VIDEOTAPE): [laughing]
385
00:18:58,705 --> 00:19:03,943
I've never run across
anything as eerie as this tape.
386
00:19:04,043 --> 00:19:05,678
It was-- it frightened me.
387
00:19:05,778 --> 00:19:08,781
As a matter of fact,
I thought about it
388
00:19:08,881 --> 00:19:10,683
that night when I went to bed.
389
00:19:10,783 --> 00:19:11,784
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Despite
390
00:19:11,884 --> 00:19:14,187
a frame-by-frame
analysis of the video,
391
00:19:14,287 --> 00:19:17,023
investigators were unable
to match the fire recorded
392
00:19:17,123 --> 00:19:20,026
on the tape with any
suspected arson fires reported
393
00:19:20,126 --> 00:19:23,630
in the state of California.
394
00:19:23,730 --> 00:19:26,098
The burning structure appeared
to be a wood-frame house,
395
00:19:26,199 --> 00:19:27,967
perhaps in a rural area.
396
00:19:28,067 --> 00:19:30,837
Because fire engines do
arrive, investigators
397
00:19:30,937 --> 00:19:33,506
felt certain that somewhere,
a report of the blaze
398
00:19:33,606 --> 00:19:36,676
was on file.
399
00:19:36,776 --> 00:19:38,678
I think the person
who made this videotape
400
00:19:38,778 --> 00:19:41,581
and is responsible
for the fire will,
401
00:19:41,681 --> 00:19:44,917
without a doubt in my mind,
continue to set fires.
402
00:19:45,017 --> 00:19:47,387
And the person needs
to be apprehended
403
00:19:47,487 --> 00:19:50,557
and stopped before his fires
become more destructive.
404
00:19:53,993 --> 00:19:55,161
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Update.
405
00:19:55,262 --> 00:19:58,731
Redwood City, California,
60 miles west of Stockton.
406
00:19:58,831 --> 00:20:00,967
Within minutes of our
broadcast, several viewers
407
00:20:01,067 --> 00:20:02,869
from Redwood City
called our telecenter
408
00:20:02,969 --> 00:20:05,037
and identified the
location of the house
409
00:20:05,137 --> 00:20:08,641
seen burning on the videotape.
410
00:20:08,741 --> 00:20:11,778
As we were sitting here and
we looked at the film on the TV,
411
00:20:11,878 --> 00:20:14,281
we realized with utter
shock that it was the house
412
00:20:14,381 --> 00:20:16,749
behind us that was on TV.
413
00:20:16,849 --> 00:20:18,451
And our family was
scared, to say the least,
414
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:20,887
because we didn't realize
that the film even existed.
415
00:20:20,987 --> 00:20:22,655
And there was no
mistake in my mind
416
00:20:22,755 --> 00:20:23,823
at all that that
was the house that
417
00:20:23,923 --> 00:20:26,726
was behind us while watching
the videotape on TV.
418
00:20:26,826 --> 00:20:28,160
We called into
"Unsolved Mysteries"
419
00:20:28,261 --> 00:20:30,630
and gave all the information.
420
00:20:30,730 --> 00:20:31,798
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): The arson
421
00:20:31,898 --> 00:20:34,334
occurred on August 15, 1988.
422
00:20:34,434 --> 00:20:37,470
The house that was destroyed was
under construction at the time.
423
00:20:37,570 --> 00:20:41,408
Today, it has been rebuilt.
Incredibly, on the night
424
00:20:41,508 --> 00:20:44,544
of the blaze, Woodside
fire captain John Dellinges
425
00:20:44,644 --> 00:20:47,947
also videotaped the fire.
426
00:20:48,047 --> 00:20:50,950
JOHN DELLINGES: While I was
setting up the command post,
427
00:20:51,050 --> 00:20:53,886
directing companies in
to extinguish the fire,
428
00:20:53,986 --> 00:20:58,591
I had set up my video camera
to film the fire for training
429
00:20:58,691 --> 00:21:01,761
and investigation purpose.
430
00:21:01,861 --> 00:21:03,963
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): By
Comparing Capt. Dellinges' tape
431
00:21:04,063 --> 00:21:06,065
with the video shot
by the arsonist,
432
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,701
investigators were able
to confirm beyond a doubt
433
00:21:08,801 --> 00:21:09,669
the fire's location.
434
00:21:11,571 --> 00:21:12,505
DET.
435
00:21:12,605 --> 00:21:14,407
MARK POLLIO: Some of
the calls received
436
00:21:14,507 --> 00:21:18,277
led us to a 17-year-old
Woodside youth.
437
00:21:18,378 --> 00:21:19,812
We interviewed that youth.
438
00:21:19,912 --> 00:21:22,849
Through that interview, it led
us to a 19-year-old Redwood
439
00:21:22,949 --> 00:21:24,584
City youth.
440
00:21:24,684 --> 00:21:27,554
He was arrested and
interviewed and subsequently
441
00:21:27,654 --> 00:21:31,358
admitted burning the
house, taking the video,
442
00:21:31,458 --> 00:21:34,794
and was the one who
talked on the videotape.
443
00:21:34,894 --> 00:21:37,664
Our biggest hope was that
maybe we would find an area
444
00:21:37,764 --> 00:21:40,066
or a location of the fire.
445
00:21:40,166 --> 00:21:42,402
We never dreamed that we'd
get the results that we did.
446
00:21:45,171 --> 00:21:47,006
One of the two suspects
is currently awaiting
447
00:21:47,106 --> 00:21:49,108
trial on charges of arson.
448
00:21:49,208 --> 00:21:51,944
Investigators believe that
between them, the two suspects
449
00:21:52,044 --> 00:21:54,447
may also be responsible
for as many as 25
450
00:21:54,547 --> 00:21:57,917
arson fires in the Redwood City
area over the past three years.
451
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,208
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
In the early 1960s,
452
00:22:22,308 --> 00:22:26,513
the American South
was at a crossroads.
453
00:22:26,613 --> 00:22:29,248
Selma, Birmingham, and
Greensboro were just a few
454
00:22:29,348 --> 00:22:31,918
of the battlegrounds where
the desire for racial equality
455
00:22:32,018 --> 00:22:32,819
became a demand.
456
00:22:35,488 --> 00:22:37,624
With segregation
starting to crumble,
457
00:22:37,724 --> 00:22:40,059
blacks and whites faced
off in tense, often
458
00:22:40,159 --> 00:22:41,594
violent confrontations.
459
00:22:46,132 --> 00:22:48,968
In Washington Parish,
Louisiana, the black community
460
00:22:49,068 --> 00:22:52,805
began to push for integration
of the sheriff's department.
461
00:22:52,905 --> 00:22:57,243
In response, two black
deputies were appointed.
462
00:22:57,343 --> 00:23:01,347
On June 1, 1964, 46-year-old
David Creed Rogers
463
00:23:01,448 --> 00:23:04,016
and 34-year-old
O'Neal Moore became
464
00:23:04,116 --> 00:23:09,255
the first black law enforcement
officers in Washington Parish.
465
00:23:09,355 --> 00:23:11,958
MAEVELLA MOORE SAM: It was just
a great day knowing my husband
466
00:23:12,058 --> 00:23:14,694
was the first Negro deputy.
467
00:23:14,794 --> 00:23:21,734
He got in his car, and he turned
his radio on and reported in,
468
00:23:21,834 --> 00:23:25,037
and we were just tickled.
469
00:23:25,137 --> 00:23:30,409
At that time, feelings were
running very high, very high.
470
00:23:30,510 --> 00:23:34,814
And people-- some
people, not all people--
471
00:23:34,914 --> 00:23:39,418
was against the blacks
taking a part in any part
472
00:23:39,519 --> 00:23:41,353
of law enforcement or anything.
473
00:23:44,857 --> 00:23:46,859
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): A year
later, Deputy Sheriff O'Neal
474
00:23:46,959 --> 00:23:49,028
Moore was gunned
down while on duty
475
00:23:49,128 --> 00:23:52,098
in a racially motivated attack.
476
00:23:52,198 --> 00:23:56,936
On June 6, 1965, Moore was laid
to rest, an unheralded martyr
477
00:23:57,036 --> 00:23:59,739
of the civil rights struggle.
478
00:23:59,839 --> 00:24:04,143
His killer was never identified.
479
00:24:04,243 --> 00:24:07,614
Moore's partner, Creed Rogers,
lost an eye in the attack
480
00:24:07,714 --> 00:24:10,517
but survived.
481
00:24:10,617 --> 00:24:13,085
I would like to
know who did it
482
00:24:13,185 --> 00:24:15,454
for my sakes and
everybody else to know
483
00:24:15,555 --> 00:24:18,625
who their neighbors are.
484
00:24:18,725 --> 00:24:22,028
I know I wouldn't want to
live next door to anybody,
485
00:24:22,128 --> 00:24:24,964
black or white or whatever,
who was dirty enough
486
00:24:25,064 --> 00:24:27,600
to do something like that.
487
00:24:27,700 --> 00:24:29,301
Today, Southerners
are justifiably
488
00:24:29,401 --> 00:24:32,038
proud of the enormous strides
made by both blacks and whites
489
00:24:32,138 --> 00:24:34,073
in putting the past behind them.
490
00:24:34,173 --> 00:24:37,143
But 25 years ago,
times were different.
491
00:24:37,243 --> 00:24:39,812
Black deputies such as
O'Neal Moore and Creed Rogers
492
00:24:39,912 --> 00:24:43,182
were not allowed to confront
whites, much less arrest them.
493
00:24:43,282 --> 00:24:45,552
But despite the fact that they
were working in a white world
494
00:24:45,652 --> 00:24:47,654
that barely tolerated
their presence,
495
00:24:47,754 --> 00:24:49,856
O'Neal and Creed persevered.
496
00:24:49,956 --> 00:24:51,157
They promised themselves
that they would
497
00:24:51,257 --> 00:24:52,959
not let their community down.
498
00:24:58,164 --> 00:25:09,508
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): It
was the night of June 2, 1965.
499
00:25:09,609 --> 00:25:11,544
After a year on duty,
O'Neal and Creed
500
00:25:11,644 --> 00:25:13,813
had come to expect
harassment, so they
501
00:25:13,913 --> 00:25:16,716
were not surprised when a pickup
truck began to tailgate them.
502
00:25:19,752 --> 00:25:22,755
It ain't so bad
at night, 'cause--
503
00:25:22,855 --> 00:25:25,324
DAVID CREED ROGERS (VOICEOVER):
As we got on Peter's Hill
504
00:25:25,424 --> 00:25:27,894
about two miles
north of Varnado,
505
00:25:27,994 --> 00:25:30,863
we saw a fire on the
left of the road.
506
00:25:33,766 --> 00:25:37,303
So we made a U-turn
to inspect the fire.
507
00:25:37,403 --> 00:25:42,008
It was a wooded area, see if
there was fire getting out.
508
00:25:42,108 --> 00:25:43,643
What do you think?
509
00:25:43,743 --> 00:25:46,145
Hell, it ain't nothing
but an old trash fire.
510
00:25:46,245 --> 00:25:47,747
Come on.
511
00:25:47,847 --> 00:25:49,115
DAVID CREED ROGERS:
We checked the fire
512
00:25:49,215 --> 00:25:51,751
and saw it was just the trash.
513
00:25:51,851 --> 00:25:53,720
It wasn't no danger.
514
00:25:53,820 --> 00:25:59,325
So we made a U-turn
and proceeded on south.
515
00:25:59,425 --> 00:26:03,963
And this truck had
pulled over to the right.
516
00:26:04,063 --> 00:26:06,599
And as we passed them,
the truck pulled out
517
00:26:06,699 --> 00:26:07,867
and began to follow us.
518
00:26:10,870 --> 00:26:14,807
It appeared to be a
dark truck, black.
519
00:26:14,907 --> 00:26:18,978
I noticed it had a white grill
and a Rebel tag on the front.
520
00:26:21,881 --> 00:26:26,285
So as we headed south, it
continued to follow us.
521
00:26:44,637 --> 00:26:49,275
Well, the car hit the tree, and
they passed, still shooting.
522
00:26:49,375 --> 00:26:51,978
And evidently, the
last shot got him.
523
00:26:52,078 --> 00:26:54,714
It knocked him over on me.
524
00:26:54,814 --> 00:26:56,248
You guys all right?
525
00:26:56,348 --> 00:26:57,717
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Hearing the shots,
526
00:26:57,817 --> 00:26:59,852
a local resident ran
to the accident scene.
527
00:26:59,952 --> 00:27:01,287
Don't worry, my wife
called the police.
528
00:27:01,387 --> 00:27:03,022
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
He found O'Neal Moore dead
529
00:27:03,122 --> 00:27:05,825
and Creed Rogers badly injured.
530
00:27:05,925 --> 00:27:07,727
He stood guard until
police arrived.
531
00:27:13,565 --> 00:27:15,267
Chief Deputy Sheriff
Doyle Holiday
532
00:27:15,367 --> 00:27:17,503
arrived a few minutes later.
533
00:27:17,603 --> 00:27:19,706
He began an investigation
that would consume
534
00:27:19,806 --> 00:27:22,341
the next several months.
535
00:27:22,441 --> 00:27:23,876
DOYLE HOLIDAY (VOICEOVER):
When I got up there,
536
00:27:23,976 --> 00:27:28,815
I found Deputy O'Neal
Moore dead and Deputy
537
00:27:28,915 --> 00:27:29,916
Creed Rogers all shot up.
538
00:27:30,016 --> 00:27:31,684
- Black truck.
- What's that?
539
00:27:31,784 --> 00:27:32,584
Black tru--
540
00:27:32,685 --> 00:27:33,920
A black truck?
541
00:27:34,020 --> 00:27:36,355
DOYLE HOLIDAY (VOICEOVER):
Creed, he described the truck
542
00:27:36,455 --> 00:27:38,657
right down to the last detail.
543
00:27:38,758 --> 00:27:39,658
You're going to be OK.
544
00:27:39,759 --> 00:27:41,060
It's all right.
545
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,697
DOYLE HOLIDAY: And I immediately
put out an APB on that truck.
546
00:27:44,797 --> 00:27:50,803
In less than about
30 or 45 minutes,
547
00:27:50,903 --> 00:27:53,139
they called me from
my office and told me
548
00:27:53,239 --> 00:27:56,943
that they had apprehended
a truck of that description
549
00:27:57,043 --> 00:28:00,913
in Tylertown, Mississippi.
550
00:28:01,013 --> 00:28:04,817
The truck fit the
description to a T
551
00:28:04,917 --> 00:28:08,687
of what Creed had told me,
with the exceptions of the side
552
00:28:08,788 --> 00:28:09,688
rails.
553
00:28:09,789 --> 00:28:11,390
There were no side
rails on the truck
554
00:28:11,490 --> 00:28:14,927
at the time of apprehension.
555
00:28:15,027 --> 00:28:16,963
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The
truck was stopped just 20 miles
556
00:28:17,063 --> 00:28:18,497
from the scene of the shooting.
557
00:28:18,597 --> 00:28:20,632
The driver was
arrested but was soon
558
00:28:20,733 --> 00:28:23,870
released on a $25,000 bond.
559
00:28:23,970 --> 00:28:28,875
The charges were later dismissed
due to lack of evidence.
560
00:28:28,975 --> 00:28:31,744
Suspicion naturally focused
on the Ku Klux Klan,
561
00:28:31,844 --> 00:28:33,245
but the local
chapter immediately
562
00:28:33,345 --> 00:28:36,015
denied any involvement.
563
00:28:36,115 --> 00:28:38,184
Racial tensions increased.
564
00:28:38,284 --> 00:28:40,452
In Washington Parish,
the sheriff refused
565
00:28:40,552 --> 00:28:42,154
to give into the pressure.
566
00:28:42,254 --> 00:28:47,093
O'Neal Moore was replaced
by another black deputy.
567
00:28:47,193 --> 00:28:50,162
MAEVELLA MOORE SAM: They really
didn't accomplish anything.
568
00:28:50,262 --> 00:28:55,234
Because when they was trying
to get rid of Creed and O'Neal,
569
00:28:55,334 --> 00:28:56,668
it didn't frighten them.
570
00:28:56,769 --> 00:29:00,039
That just gave others more--
571
00:29:00,139 --> 00:29:01,573
more get up and go about them.
572
00:29:01,673 --> 00:29:04,376
It really-- it really
gave them more courage.
573
00:29:04,476 --> 00:29:06,145
They weren't going to
get the black deputies off
574
00:29:06,245 --> 00:29:10,482
of the sheriff's department,
because it wasn't
575
00:29:10,582 --> 00:29:14,186
any time after that until
the sheriff called me one day
576
00:29:14,286 --> 00:29:17,756
and told me to go
and hire another one.
577
00:29:17,857 --> 00:29:19,325
Well, we can't get on
it before first thing
578
00:29:19,425 --> 00:29:20,526
in the morning.
579
00:29:20,626 --> 00:29:22,028
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Doyle Holiday continued
580
00:29:22,128 --> 00:29:24,030
to pursue his investigation.
581
00:29:24,130 --> 00:29:28,200
Two weeks after the shooting,
the violence came to his home.
582
00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:30,136
DOYLE HOLIDAY: After I got
through talking to the sheriff,
583
00:29:30,236 --> 00:29:33,572
I went over and sat
down on the couch.
584
00:29:33,672 --> 00:29:34,740
That's when the shot rang out.
585
00:29:34,841 --> 00:29:35,908
[gunshots]
586
00:29:36,008 --> 00:29:37,109
And I hollered, get down.
587
00:29:37,209 --> 00:29:39,946
And I grabbed my gun that
was laying on the table
588
00:29:40,046 --> 00:29:41,513
and went out the door and fired.
589
00:29:45,084 --> 00:29:48,855
And they immediately took off.
590
00:29:48,955 --> 00:29:51,557
I might have been stepping
on somebody's toes.
591
00:29:51,657 --> 00:29:54,093
I don't know.
592
00:29:54,193 --> 00:29:57,864
But I don't know why they
picked me out, singled me out.
593
00:29:57,964 --> 00:30:02,301
Because even had they backed me
down, which they didn't, they
594
00:30:02,401 --> 00:30:06,805
still had the FBI and the
state police to contend with.
595
00:30:06,906 --> 00:30:08,340
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
The local population
596
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,277
refused to cooperate with
the FBI or local authorities,
597
00:30:11,377 --> 00:30:15,982
despite a $25,000 reward from
the governor of Louisiana.
598
00:30:16,082 --> 00:30:22,955
The case was deemed
inactive in 1967.
599
00:30:23,055 --> 00:30:25,491
DOYLE HOLIDAY
(VOICEOVER): 25 years ago,
600
00:30:25,591 --> 00:30:29,896
the Klan was so
strong that the people
601
00:30:29,996 --> 00:30:31,397
would not open their mouths.
602
00:30:31,497 --> 00:30:34,500
They would not give you a
lead on anything for fear
603
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,336
of their house being burnt or
some member of their family
604
00:30:37,436 --> 00:30:40,306
being hurt or something
to that effect.
605
00:30:40,406 --> 00:30:42,241
Back then, they
didn't want anything
606
00:30:42,341 --> 00:30:45,912
to do with the FBI, the state
police, or the local police.
607
00:30:51,183 --> 00:30:52,818
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
In June of 1987,
608
00:30:52,919 --> 00:30:54,887
the FBI field office
in New Orleans
609
00:30:54,987 --> 00:30:57,990
was contacted by one informant
and received letters from two
610
00:30:58,090 --> 00:31:00,426
other anonymous sources.
611
00:31:00,526 --> 00:31:03,395
They claimed to identify the
people responsible for O'Neal
612
00:31:03,495 --> 00:31:05,031
Moore's murder.
613
00:31:05,131 --> 00:31:06,865
As a result of this
new information,
614
00:31:06,966 --> 00:31:09,268
the case was reopened.
615
00:31:09,368 --> 00:31:13,505
One of the two letters is
very specific on identifying
616
00:31:13,605 --> 00:31:17,276
individuals that were
within the pickup truck
617
00:31:17,376 --> 00:31:21,480
and the getaway route of
the pickup truck involved.
618
00:31:21,580 --> 00:31:23,950
We have looked at the three
individuals specifically
619
00:31:24,050 --> 00:31:26,152
mentioned in this
anonymous letter,
620
00:31:26,252 --> 00:31:28,287
have interviewed their
families or anyone
621
00:31:28,387 --> 00:31:31,857
that may be associated with
these three individuals.
622
00:31:31,958 --> 00:31:33,425
Let me write this down now.
What did you say?
623
00:31:33,525 --> 00:31:34,526
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): The FBI
624
00:31:34,626 --> 00:31:35,962
does not currently
have enough information
625
00:31:36,062 --> 00:31:37,763
to make any arrests.
626
00:31:37,863 --> 00:31:39,898
However, they do
believe that the killers
627
00:31:39,999 --> 00:31:42,501
belonged to the Klan.
628
00:31:42,601 --> 00:31:46,939
We feel that it was
members of the Ku Klux Klan
629
00:31:47,039 --> 00:31:50,709
that took part in this shooting,
but they did it on their own.
630
00:31:50,809 --> 00:31:54,580
They didn't allow other
individuals to have knowledge
631
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:55,881
of what they were going to do.
632
00:32:00,919 --> 00:32:02,054
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): It has been
633
00:32:02,154 --> 00:32:04,723
25 years since O'Neal
Moore and his partner
634
00:32:04,823 --> 00:32:06,192
took their last ride together.
635
00:32:10,029 --> 00:32:12,965
Creed Rogers refused to be
frightened away from his chosen
636
00:32:13,065 --> 00:32:16,668
career, and in 1988, he
retired as a full captain
637
00:32:16,768 --> 00:32:19,038
from the Washington Parish
Sheriff's Department.
638
00:32:22,108 --> 00:32:25,944
DAVID CREED ROGERS: I still
wonder who could have done it.
639
00:32:26,045 --> 00:32:27,513
That'll be with me forever.
640
00:32:27,613 --> 00:32:29,048
Who could have done that?
641
00:32:29,148 --> 00:32:32,884
You know, when people
try to kill you
642
00:32:32,985 --> 00:32:35,021
and you haven't did
anything to them,
643
00:32:35,121 --> 00:32:38,024
why, that never
leaves your mind.
644
00:32:38,124 --> 00:32:39,925
Sometimes, you wonder if
they're still out there,
645
00:32:40,026 --> 00:32:41,060
still wanting to try.
646
00:32:44,963 --> 00:32:47,466
It's a bad feeling.
647
00:32:47,566 --> 00:32:50,736
I think that a lot of people
that was in involved back then
648
00:32:50,836 --> 00:32:53,572
are getting on up in
years, like myself,
649
00:32:53,672 --> 00:32:56,675
and they don't want to
go face the Almighty
650
00:32:56,775 --> 00:32:58,244
with that on their conscience.
651
00:32:58,344 --> 00:33:00,412
And I think before
the final day,
652
00:33:00,512 --> 00:33:02,214
somebody is going to get
it off of their chests.
653
00:33:05,484 --> 00:33:07,219
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
The death of O'Neal Moore was
654
00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:10,856
a crime against every American.
655
00:33:10,956 --> 00:33:13,725
That his killers are still
at large after 25 years
656
00:33:13,825 --> 00:33:16,295
is a further affront.
657
00:33:16,395 --> 00:33:19,465
Their capture will not ease the
pain felt by O'Neal's family
658
00:33:19,565 --> 00:33:21,300
and friends, but
it will certainly
659
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,536
prove that while justice
may not always be blind,
660
00:33:24,636 --> 00:33:26,638
it does have a long memory.
661
00:33:26,738 --> 00:33:30,509
[gospel music playing]
662
00:33:38,884 --> 00:33:42,121
When we return, the story of
a remarkable dog who helped
663
00:33:42,221 --> 00:33:44,090
save the life of
an epilepsy victim
664

by predicting her seizures.
665
00:33:55,934 --> 00:33:59,271
Our next story is a unique
and heartwarming mystery.
666
00:33:59,371 --> 00:34:01,573
It deals with the bond
between people and animals
667
00:34:01,673 --> 00:34:03,509
and the amazing sixth
sense some animals
668
00:34:03,609 --> 00:34:06,278
possess when it comes to helping
and protecting their owners.
669
00:34:09,481 --> 00:34:11,016
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Minneapolis, Minnesota.
670
00:34:11,117 --> 00:34:15,121
December 4, 1984, 2:00 AM.
671
00:34:15,221 --> 00:34:18,257
15 minutes earlier, a drunk
driver had run a red light
672
00:34:18,357 --> 00:34:21,127
and collided with a car
driven by 19-year-old Victoria
673
00:34:21,227 --> 00:34:22,027
Doroshenko.
674
00:34:26,732 --> 00:34:28,967
Victoria was left
unconscious and suffering
675
00:34:29,067 --> 00:34:32,271
from multiple head injuries.
676
00:34:32,371 --> 00:34:33,639
VICTORIA DOROSHENKO:
Before the accident,
677
00:34:33,739 --> 00:34:36,041
I had a perfect
life for a teenager.
678
00:34:36,142 --> 00:34:38,377
After the accident,
I lost everything.
679
00:34:38,477 --> 00:34:39,978
I couldn't go back to school.
680
00:34:40,078 --> 00:34:42,248
I lost my job.
681
00:34:42,348 --> 00:34:44,450
I was in and out
of the hospital so
682
00:34:44,550 --> 00:34:46,485
many times that there was
no way that I could even
683
00:34:46,585 --> 00:34:47,686
function with a normal life.
684
00:34:47,786 --> 00:34:49,288
I felt really lost.
685
00:34:49,388 --> 00:34:53,024
I felt like somebody had taken
away my life, for what life
686
00:34:53,125 --> 00:34:55,561
I had after the accident.
687
00:34:55,661 --> 00:34:56,695

00:34:56,795 --> 00:34:59,765
was plagued by headaches
and periodic blackouts.
689
00:34:59,865 --> 00:35:01,533
A year and a half
later, she moved
690
00:35:01,633 --> 00:35:04,170
to Tacoma, Washington,
hoping to put the accident
691
00:35:04,270 --> 00:35:07,273
and her injuries behind her.
692
00:35:07,373 --> 00:35:09,007
Coming through, folks.
693
00:35:09,107 --> 00:35:10,876
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Then in August of 1986,
694
00:35:10,976 --> 00:35:12,678
while she was
already hospitalized,
695
00:35:12,778 --> 00:35:15,614
Victoria suffered
a violent seizure.
696
00:35:15,714 --> 00:35:17,516
The symptoms were clear--
697
00:35:17,616 --> 00:35:18,850
Victoria had epilepsy.
698
00:35:18,950 --> 00:35:20,886
Is she breathing?
699
00:35:20,986 --> 00:35:22,321
NURSE: Let's get
her on her side.
700
00:35:22,421 --> 00:35:23,222
Oxygen.
701
00:35:23,322 --> 00:35:24,523
NURSE: Oxygen.
702
00:35:24,623 --> 00:35:25,924
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
In her automobile accident,
703
00:35:26,024 --> 00:35:28,994
brain cells had been damaged,
disrupting normal activity
704
00:35:29,094 --> 00:35:32,431
and causing seizures.
705
00:35:32,531 --> 00:35:37,436
For Victoria, the
prognosis was grim.
706
00:35:37,536 --> 00:35:40,939
When my seizures were at their
worst, I was having up to 24
707
00:35:41,039 --> 00:35:42,641
a day, big ones.
708
00:35:42,741 --> 00:35:44,943
And in between the
big ones, I was
709
00:35:45,043 --> 00:35:50,015
having about 10 little ones.
710
00:35:50,115 --> 00:35:51,317
The doctors didn't
think that I was
711
00:35:51,417 --> 00:35:54,653
going to live very much longer.
712
00:35:54,753 --> 00:35:56,688
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The
severity of Victoria's seizures
713
00:35:56,788 --> 00:35:58,957
left her completely
incapacitated.
714
00:35:59,057 --> 00:36:01,393
She fell often,
reinjuring her head, which
715
00:36:01,493 --> 00:36:02,628
only induced more seizures.
716
00:36:05,764 --> 00:36:07,866
She was confined to a
wheelchair and required
717
00:36:07,966 --> 00:36:11,237
round-the-clock care.
718
00:36:11,337 --> 00:36:13,339
Because Victoria's
lungs filled with fluid
719
00:36:13,439 --> 00:36:18,877
during and after the seizures,
death was a constant threat.
720
00:36:18,977 --> 00:36:22,147
Her situation seemed hopeless.
721
00:36:22,248 --> 00:36:23,982
You take care of yourself now.
722
00:36:24,082 --> 00:36:25,451
VICTORIA DOROSHENKO: I
couldn't do anything.
723
00:36:25,551 --> 00:36:26,885
I couldn't leave the house.
724
00:36:26,985 --> 00:36:28,287
When I did leave
the house, I had
725
00:36:28,387 --> 00:36:32,658
to have enough people around me
that could pick me up or carry
726
00:36:32,758 --> 00:36:34,526
me if need be or whatever.
727
00:36:34,626 --> 00:36:38,196
If I was having a seizure, I had
to be strapped in to somewhere,
728
00:36:38,297 --> 00:36:39,931
because the seizures
were so violent
729
00:36:40,031 --> 00:36:43,335
that I would throw myself
around and injure myself.
730
00:36:43,435 --> 00:36:45,271
I wasn't awake most of the time.
731
00:36:45,371 --> 00:36:47,773
When I was awake, I
was really depressed.
732
00:36:47,873 --> 00:36:50,476
I didn't want to--
I didn't really want to live.
733
00:36:50,576 --> 00:36:51,977
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Victoria would find
734
00:36:52,077 --> 00:36:53,912
help in an unlikely place--
735
00:36:54,012 --> 00:36:57,816
the Purdy Correctional Center
for women, a prison 25 miles
736
00:36:57,916 --> 00:36:59,318
outside Tacoma.
737
00:36:59,418 --> 00:37:02,187
There, the state of Washington
has set up a special program.
738
00:37:05,624 --> 00:37:07,326
Under the guidance
of a professional,
739
00:37:07,426 --> 00:37:10,462
the inmates train dogs rescued
from the pound as companions
740
00:37:10,562 --> 00:37:13,332
and aides for the handicapped.
741
00:37:13,432 --> 00:37:16,768
The dogs learn to open and
close doors, pick up a telephone
742
00:37:16,868 --> 00:37:19,971
receiver, pull
wheelchairs, fetch things
743
00:37:20,071 --> 00:37:23,208
like clothing and hairbrushes.
744
00:37:23,309 --> 00:37:26,244
In 1987, Victoria
heard about the program
745
00:37:26,345 --> 00:37:28,980
and went to the prison.
746
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,882
It was a decision that
would save her life.
747
00:37:30,982 --> 00:37:32,250
- There he is.
- Hi, Vicky.
748
00:37:32,351 --> 00:37:33,218
This is Chase.
749
00:37:33,319 --> 00:37:34,185
VICTORIA DOROSHENKO
(VOICEOVER): I
750
00:37:34,286 --> 00:37:35,020
was hoping for a
dog that could help
751
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:36,422
me in my daily living skills.
752
00:37:36,522 --> 00:37:37,656
And I was real lonely.
753
00:37:37,756 --> 00:37:38,557
I didn't have a life.
754
00:37:38,657 --> 00:37:40,091
I didn't have a social life.
755
00:37:40,191 --> 00:37:41,860
So I thought maybe
that a dog would help.
756
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,895
Would you like to get to
know him a little better?
757
00:37:43,995 --> 00:37:45,464
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
When Victoria arrived
758
00:37:45,564 --> 00:37:46,765
for her interview,
inmate trainers
759
00:37:46,865 --> 00:37:48,033
were working in
the room with two
760
00:37:48,133 --> 00:37:50,369
dogs, both golden retrievers.
761
00:37:50,469 --> 00:37:53,204
One of the dogs had been
chosen for Victoria.
762
00:37:53,305 --> 00:37:54,606
VICTORIA DOROSHENKO
(VOICEOVER): That day,
763
00:37:54,706 --> 00:37:57,108
when I was out at the
program, I ended up
764
00:37:57,208 --> 00:37:59,110
having a major seizure.
765
00:37:59,210 --> 00:38:00,111
Sue, can you give me a hand?
766
00:38:00,211 --> 00:38:01,012
Yeah.
767
00:38:01,112 --> 00:38:02,013
Sherry!
768
00:38:02,113 --> 00:38:03,449
It's OK.
769
00:38:03,549 --> 00:38:05,417
VICTORIA DOROSHENKO (VOICEOVER):
And the dog that they were
770
00:38:05,517 --> 00:38:07,252
originally training for me
just walked away from me.
771
00:38:07,353 --> 00:38:08,153
and didn't care.
772
00:38:11,022 --> 00:38:12,257
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
The second dog
773
00:38:12,358 --> 00:38:15,026
in the room, whose name was
Harley, defied his trainer's
774
00:38:15,126 --> 00:38:16,395
commands and did respond.
775
00:38:16,495 --> 00:38:17,295
Harley, stay!
776
00:38:20,065 --> 00:38:22,668
SUE MILLER: When Vicky started
seizuring and Harley went
777
00:38:22,768 --> 00:38:27,406
to her and laid down with her,
you know, everybody in the room
778
00:38:27,506 --> 00:38:28,940
was astounded.
779
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,410
You know, the dog
was doing what we'd
780
00:38:31,510 --> 00:38:35,046
hoped he could learn
to do before we ever
781
00:38:35,146 --> 00:38:36,648
hoped he could learn to do it.
782
00:38:36,748 --> 00:38:39,317
He somehow knew.
783
00:38:39,418 --> 00:38:41,453
VICTORIA DOROSHENKO (VOICEOVER):
When I woke up from my seizure,
784
00:38:41,553 --> 00:38:43,955
I woke up, and his
head was laying on me.
785
00:38:44,055 --> 00:38:45,724
And he was looking
at me, like, all sad,
786
00:38:45,824 --> 00:38:47,859
and he knew something was wrong.
787
00:38:47,959 --> 00:38:49,027
As soon as I
started petting him,
788
00:38:49,127 --> 00:38:50,996
I think he realized
that everything was OK.
789
00:38:51,096 --> 00:38:52,664
He started wagging his tail.
790
00:38:52,764 --> 00:38:55,200
And from there on, I knew
that that was my dog,
791
00:38:55,300 --> 00:38:57,135
and I knew it was going to work.
792
00:38:57,235 --> 00:38:58,637
He was my partner from then on.
793
00:39:01,339 --> 00:39:03,475
No one could explain
why Harley responded
794
00:39:03,575 --> 00:39:06,177
to Victoria during her seizure.
795
00:39:06,277 --> 00:39:08,714
The prison program had
discovered another dog which
796
00:39:08,814 --> 00:39:11,917
showed a special sensitivity
to epileptics, again
797
00:39:12,017 --> 00:39:14,219
with no explanation.
798
00:39:14,319 --> 00:39:16,254
Why do certain animals
appear to establish
799
00:39:16,354 --> 00:39:18,890
this immediate sympathetic bond?
800
00:39:18,990 --> 00:39:22,327
For the medical community, this
question is an intriguing one.
801
00:39:22,428 --> 00:39:25,831
For Victoria Doroshenko, it was
a question of life and death.
802
00:39:30,436 --> 00:39:32,170
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Once Harley was with Victoria
803
00:39:32,270 --> 00:39:33,972
full time, her
anxiety diminished,
804
00:39:34,072 --> 00:39:35,574
and the frequency
of her seizures
805
00:39:35,674 --> 00:39:38,276
decreased dramatically.
806
00:39:38,376 --> 00:39:40,646
Victoria's doctors allowed
her to resume classes
807
00:39:40,746 --> 00:39:42,213
at a local community college.
808
00:39:45,050 --> 00:39:49,555
Harley was Victoria's
constant companion.
809
00:39:49,655 --> 00:39:51,122
I was at Tacoma
Community College,
810
00:39:51,222 --> 00:39:54,426
and I was walking across
campus, and he all of a sudden
811
00:39:54,526 --> 00:39:56,127
started acting real funny.
812
00:39:56,227 --> 00:39:57,663
He didn't want to cooperate.
813
00:39:57,763 --> 00:39:58,864
He didn't want to--
814
00:39:58,964 --> 00:39:59,998
he didn't want to listen to me.
815
00:40:02,901 --> 00:40:04,269
What is it, boy?
816
00:40:04,369 --> 00:40:05,236
What is it, boy?
817
00:40:05,336 --> 00:40:06,838
Calm down.
818
00:40:06,938 --> 00:40:08,073
Calm down.
Come on.
819
00:40:08,173 --> 00:40:10,442
Shh, calm down.
Come on, let's go.
820
00:40:10,542 --> 00:40:12,377
Let's go.
821
00:40:12,478 --> 00:40:15,647
Harley was a
real laid-back dog.
822
00:40:15,747 --> 00:40:19,184
He wasn't rambunctious
like that or rambunctious.
823
00:40:19,284 --> 00:40:20,786
So when he started
acting that way,
824
00:40:20,886 --> 00:40:22,921
I really didn't know
what was happening.
825
00:40:23,021 --> 00:40:25,056
Excuse me.
Can I sit down here?
826
00:40:25,156 --> 00:40:25,957
Yes.
827
00:40:31,563 --> 00:40:32,363
Thank you.
828
00:40:32,464 --> 00:40:33,899
I'm not feeling so well.
829
00:40:33,999 --> 00:40:35,366
Can I do something for you?
830
00:40:35,467 --> 00:40:37,035
No, I just want to
sit here for a while.
831
00:40:40,371 --> 00:40:42,207
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Harley calmed down once Victoria
832
00:40:42,307 --> 00:40:43,842
was safely inside a classroom.
833
00:40:46,545 --> 00:40:48,580
Five minutes later, she
had a major seizure.
834
00:40:52,918 --> 00:40:55,487
Amazingly, it appeared
to Victoria and to others
835
00:40:55,587 --> 00:40:58,123
present that Harley had
somehow known Victoria
836
00:40:58,223 --> 00:40:59,958
was going to have a seizure.
837
00:41:00,058 --> 00:41:02,661
His barking and strange
behavior had been a signal
838
00:41:02,761 --> 00:41:04,763
for her to go to a safe place.
839
00:41:04,863 --> 00:41:06,097
VICTORIA DOROSHENKO
(VOICEOVER): When
840
00:41:06,197 --> 00:41:08,534
I realized Harley could predict
my seizures ahead of time,
841
00:41:08,634 --> 00:41:09,535
I was so thrilled.
842
00:41:09,635 --> 00:41:11,469
I knew that I was saved.
843
00:41:11,570 --> 00:41:13,304
It changed my life completely.
844
00:41:15,574 --> 00:41:17,242
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
After his first prediction,
845
00:41:17,342 --> 00:41:19,177
Harley never failed
to warn Victoria
846
00:41:19,277 --> 00:41:21,680
when a seizure was coming on.
847
00:41:21,780 --> 00:41:24,015
He always exhibited the
same aberrant behavior,
848
00:41:24,115 --> 00:41:28,086
giving Victoria 15 to 45 minutes
notice before a seizure was
849
00:41:28,186 --> 00:41:30,622
about to strike.
850
00:41:30,722 --> 00:41:33,091
VICTORIA DOROSHENKO: So after
that, the bond and the trust
851
00:41:33,191 --> 00:41:36,528
and the love and the
dependency grew and grew
852
00:41:36,628 --> 00:41:40,098
and grew until there
was no comparing it.
853
00:41:40,198 --> 00:41:41,600
We were each other.
854
00:41:41,700 --> 00:41:44,235
We became like one, a shadow.
855
00:41:44,335 --> 00:41:45,571
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Harley changed
856
00:41:45,671 --> 00:41:47,606
Victoria's life dramatically.
857
00:41:47,706 --> 00:41:49,340
She now felt comfortable
enough to leave
858
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,242
her house whenever she wanted.
859
00:41:51,342 --> 00:41:54,345
She began to interact
with other people.
860
00:41:54,445 --> 00:41:58,216
If she had a seizure, Harley
always stayed by her side.
861
00:41:58,316 --> 00:42:00,552
He sensed danger and kept
her away from traffic
862
00:42:00,652 --> 00:42:02,821
if a seizure was coming on.
863
00:42:02,921 --> 00:42:04,255
For the first time
since her accident,
864
00:42:04,355 --> 00:42:09,360
Victoria enjoyed the comfort
and security of a normal life.
865
00:42:09,460 --> 00:42:11,663
Modern technology and
physicians, doctors,
866
00:42:11,763 --> 00:42:14,065
and none of us can predict
when a seizure will occur
867
00:42:14,165 --> 00:42:16,267
or how many seizures
a person will have.
868
00:42:16,367 --> 00:42:17,703
These dogs can.
869
00:42:17,803 --> 00:42:21,206
They can tell beforehand
when a seizure will occur.
870
00:42:21,306 --> 00:42:25,611
They can warn the person, which
is an incredible phenomenon, so
871
00:42:25,711 --> 00:42:27,445
that the person can feel safe.
872
00:42:27,545 --> 00:42:28,714
They can be safe.
873
00:42:28,814 --> 00:42:30,281
They can have the comfort
of having a dog with them
874
00:42:30,381 --> 00:42:31,617
at all times.
875
00:42:31,717 --> 00:42:34,886
Because the anxiety of having
a seizure is with someone
876
00:42:34,986 --> 00:42:37,322
all the time.
877
00:42:37,422 --> 00:42:41,627
I can never, never
repay him or show
878
00:42:41,727 --> 00:42:47,065
the devotion I have for him
from what he has done for me.
879
00:42:47,165 --> 00:42:48,734
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
In June of 1990,
880
00:42:48,834 --> 00:42:50,568
Harley became ill.
881
00:42:50,669 --> 00:42:55,741
Veterinarians could do nothing,
and in July, Harley died.
882
00:42:55,841 --> 00:42:57,776
VICTORIA DOROSHENKO (VOICEOVER):
There's no words to describe
883
00:42:57,876 --> 00:42:59,945
how I felt about Harley.
884
00:43:00,045 --> 00:43:01,446
He gave me a life, and that's--
885
00:43:01,546 --> 00:43:04,950
a life is more than you
could ever give anybody.
886
00:43:07,619 --> 00:43:09,755
The Epilepsy Institute
has received reports
887
00:43:09,855 --> 00:43:12,090
of 15 other dogs that
seem to be able to predict
888
00:43:12,190 --> 00:43:14,092
epileptic seizures.
889
00:43:14,192 --> 00:43:16,728
Six of these animals came from
the Purdy Correctional Center
890
00:43:16,828 --> 00:43:17,996
for Women.
891
00:43:18,096 --> 00:43:19,865
No one can explain
why certain dogs
892
00:43:19,965 --> 00:43:23,068
seem to have an innate
sensitivity to epileptics.
893
00:43:23,168 --> 00:43:25,336
For the victims of epilepsy
whose quality of life
894
00:43:25,436 --> 00:43:28,039
is so greatly improved
by these dogs,
895
00:43:28,139 --> 00:43:30,408
no explanation is necessary.
896
00:43:30,508 --> 00:43:33,578
They are happy to accept this
particular unsolved mystery
897
00:43:33,679 --> 00:43:34,479
at face value.
898
00:43:37,182 --> 00:43:38,817
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Next, the story of a crook
899
00:43:38,917 --> 00:43:41,586
who pulled off a series
of daring bank robberies.
900
00:43:41,687 --> 00:43:43,588
Finally, he has been
captured on film.
901
00:43:55,266 --> 00:43:59,504
On September 19, 1987, a
well-dressed man entered
902
00:43:59,604 --> 00:44:01,940
a Spokane, Washington, bank.
903
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,208
May I help you?
904
00:44:03,308 --> 00:44:04,910
Stand up and move away
from the desk quickly.
905
00:44:05,010 --> 00:44:05,811
Come on.
906
00:44:05,911 --> 00:44:07,178
Move over.
907
00:44:07,278 --> 00:44:10,081
To the counter.
908
00:44:10,181 --> 00:44:12,217
Both of you, back
away from the counter.
909
00:44:12,317 --> 00:44:13,251
Quickly!
910
00:44:13,351 --> 00:44:14,485
Don't touch any alarms.
911
00:44:14,585 --> 00:44:17,823
Do exactly as you're told.
You!
912
00:44:17,923 --> 00:44:20,658
Get over here with the others!
913
00:44:20,759 --> 00:44:23,361
No tricks, no fast moves.
914
00:44:23,461 --> 00:44:25,296
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The
robber was calm, in control,
915
00:44:25,396 --> 00:44:28,099
and seemingly prepared
for any eventuality.
916
00:44:28,199 --> 00:44:29,467
Take them out slowly.
917
00:44:29,567 --> 00:44:31,336
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): He
even showed the terrified bank
918
00:44:31,436 --> 00:44:33,338
employees a police
scanner, claiming
919
00:44:33,438 --> 00:44:35,406
that he would know if they
managed to alert the law.
920
00:44:35,506 --> 00:44:37,308
If the police are on their
way, I'll know about it.
921
00:44:37,408 --> 00:44:38,777
Move!
922
00:44:38,877 --> 00:44:40,045
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): The robber
923
00:44:40,145 --> 00:44:42,247
ignored the easy money sitting
in the tellers' drawers.
924
00:44:42,347 --> 00:44:45,550
Instead, he ordered
everyone into the vault.
925
00:44:45,650 --> 00:44:47,618
ROBBER: Hurry it up!
926
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,187
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
In his first robbery,
927
00:44:49,287 --> 00:44:52,190
he stole more than $100,000.
928
00:44:52,290 --> 00:44:55,526
Hurry up!
929
00:44:55,626 --> 00:44:57,829
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): It was
over in less than five minutes.
930
00:44:57,929 --> 00:45:00,698
The robber left no
fingerprints behind.
931
00:45:00,799 --> 00:45:04,169
He even managed to avoid
being photographed.
932
00:45:04,269 --> 00:45:05,503
STEVEN L. POMERANTZ:
The reason for that
933
00:45:05,603 --> 00:45:09,140
is the way he very quickly
got control of the situation
934
00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:12,911
prevented any photographs
from being obtained.
935
00:45:13,011 --> 00:45:15,747
Between this first bank
robbery in September
936
00:45:15,847 --> 00:45:18,917
of 1987 and the
present, he has robbed
937
00:45:19,017 --> 00:45:28,126
four more banks here in Spokane
using very similar methods.
938
00:45:28,226 --> 00:45:30,028
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
On August 30, 1988,
939
00:45:30,128 --> 00:45:33,799
the bandit stole $14,000
from another Spokane bank
940
00:45:33,899 --> 00:45:37,869
and received an
unexpected bonus.
941
00:45:37,969 --> 00:45:39,304
STEVEN L. POMERANTZ
(VOICEOVER): A dye pack
942
00:45:39,404 --> 00:45:42,440
was given to the
robber, which went off
943
00:45:42,540 --> 00:45:44,675
very shortly after he left
the bank, within seconds
944
00:45:44,776 --> 00:45:45,911
of him leaving the bank.
945
00:45:50,648 --> 00:45:52,683
Obviously, that caused a
commotion on the street,
946
00:45:52,784 --> 00:45:54,820
and a witness did
observe that commotion
947
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,389
and, as a result of that,
saw him get into a vehicle
948
00:45:58,489 --> 00:45:59,757
and make his escape.
949
00:46:02,127 --> 00:46:03,995
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): After
another robbery in November
950
00:46:04,095 --> 00:46:07,165
of 1988, bank employees
were able to help create
951
00:46:07,265 --> 00:46:09,267
composites of the bandit.
952
00:46:09,367 --> 00:46:12,503
But these sketches were no
substitute for photographs.
953
00:46:12,603 --> 00:46:14,772
Amazingly, he had
still managed to avoid
954
00:46:14,873 --> 00:46:18,609
the omnipresent bank cameras.
955
00:46:18,709 --> 00:46:21,079
But on June 6,
1989, when he paid
956
00:46:21,179 --> 00:46:24,049
a visit to Spokane's Horizon
Federal Credit Union,
957
00:46:24,149 --> 00:46:25,951
his luck changed.
958
00:46:26,051 --> 00:46:28,619
This time, frightened but
resourceful bank tellers
959
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,722
stood up to threats.
960
00:46:31,823 --> 00:46:33,158
We said hi, and he said hi.
961
00:46:33,258 --> 00:46:38,663
And he walked up to the counter
and pulled out his gun and put
962
00:46:38,763 --> 00:46:41,366
on sunglasses at the same time.
963
00:46:41,466 --> 00:46:44,202
And then he told us that he
wanted to go into the vault
964
00:46:44,302 --> 00:46:45,603
and get the money.
965
00:46:45,703 --> 00:46:48,739
He had one of the girls hold
the bag while I got the money.
966
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,708
I put the money in the bag.
967
00:46:50,808 --> 00:46:53,644
And he told us to empty
out the teller drawers.
968
00:46:53,744 --> 00:46:55,947
He went to one drawer at a time.
969
00:46:56,047 --> 00:46:59,784
And when we were emptying
them out, we, you know,
970
00:46:59,885 --> 00:47:00,986
pulled all the money out.
971
00:47:01,086 --> 00:47:03,488
And there's a bill trap
underneath, you know,
972
00:47:03,588 --> 00:47:05,023
some of the bills.
973
00:47:05,123 --> 00:47:06,824
We pulled the money out from
underneath the bill trap,
974
00:47:06,925 --> 00:47:08,927
which triggered the alarm.
975
00:47:09,027 --> 00:47:10,295
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Not only
976
00:47:10,395 --> 00:47:13,464
was a silent alarm activated,
but the bank's surveillance
977
00:47:13,564 --> 00:47:16,935
camera was also triggered.
978
00:47:17,035 --> 00:47:21,239
For the first time, the
robber was captured on film.
979
00:47:21,339 --> 00:47:23,508
I was really scared when
I pulled the bill trap.
980
00:47:23,608 --> 00:47:27,845
I thought, if this guy knew that
I pulled it, I'm in trouble.
981
00:47:27,946 --> 00:47:30,848
And I just knew that I
had to do it, though.
982
00:47:30,949 --> 00:47:34,785
There was nothing
else I could do.
983
00:47:34,886 --> 00:47:36,754
Getting a photo
in this robbery
984
00:47:36,854 --> 00:47:41,059
was a big step forward for
us in our investigation.
985
00:47:41,159 --> 00:47:44,896
Up till this point, all we
had were witness descriptions
986
00:47:44,996 --> 00:47:45,931
of the bank robber.
987
00:47:46,031 --> 00:47:47,698
Now, we have an
actual photograph,
988
00:47:47,798 --> 00:47:49,467
and a very good
photograph, to work
989
00:47:49,567 --> 00:47:51,602
with to help us identify him.
990
00:47:51,702 --> 00:47:54,072
It did result in us
linking him to three
991
00:47:54,172 --> 00:47:59,077
additional bank robberies as
a suspect in Tucson, Arizona.
992
00:47:59,177 --> 00:48:01,212
So that was, again,
a major step forward
993
00:48:01,312 --> 00:48:04,049
in determining the scope
of what he's been doing,
994
00:48:04,149 --> 00:48:06,985
as well as an aid
to identification.
995
00:48:07,085 --> 00:48:08,386
ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): The robber
996
00:48:08,486 --> 00:48:12,958
appears to be between 35 and 45,
6 feet to 6 feet 3 inches tall,
997
00:48:13,058 --> 00:48:16,227
and weighs between
200 and 220 pounds.
998
00:48:16,327 --> 00:48:18,529
He seems tanned and
healthy, and the FBI
999
00:48:18,629 --> 00:48:20,598
believes he may live
in the Southwest,
1000
00:48:20,698 --> 00:48:25,370
commuting to banks in
the Pacific Northwest.
1001
00:48:25,470 --> 00:48:27,405
In order to protect
their employees,
1002
00:48:27,505 --> 00:48:30,375
the Horizon Federal Credit Union
has transferred those involved
1003
00:48:30,475 --> 00:48:32,643
in the holdup to new
locations and have redesigned
1004
00:48:32,743 --> 00:48:34,712
their internal security.
1005
00:48:34,812 --> 00:48:36,982
Meanwhile, the
robber has been busy.
1006
00:48:37,082 --> 00:48:40,185
Since 1987, the elusive
robber has allegedly held up
1007
00:48:40,285 --> 00:48:43,454
at least nine banks, six
in the Pacific Northwest
1008
00:48:43,554 --> 00:48:45,256
and three in the Southwest.
1009
00:48:45,356 --> 00:48:50,295
His last known heist
was in April of 1990.
1010
00:48:50,395 --> 00:48:51,796
ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Unbeknownst to him,
1011
00:48:51,896 --> 00:48:54,865
this time he was
captured on videotape.
1012
00:48:54,966 --> 00:48:58,703
These are still frames
taken from the videotape.
1013
00:48:58,803 --> 00:49:02,507
At 10:30 AM, the bandit strolled
into a Tacoma, Washington, bank
1014
00:49:02,607 --> 00:49:05,043
and walked out with a
substantial amount of cash.
1015
00:49:17,355 --> 00:49:20,625
Next week on "Unsolved
Mysteries," the tragic story
1016
00:49:20,725 --> 00:49:23,428
of Norman Ladner, a
17-year-old Mississippi
1017
00:49:23,528 --> 00:49:25,997
boy who died from a
gunshot wound to the head.
1018
00:49:26,097 --> 00:49:27,932
The police say suicide.
1019
00:49:28,033 --> 00:49:31,436
The parents say murder.
1020
00:49:31,536 --> 00:49:33,838
In Santa Fe, New
Mexico, the legend
1021
00:49:33,938 --> 00:49:36,774
of a miraculous staircase
built in a tiny chapel
1022
00:49:36,874 --> 00:49:39,177
by a mysterious and
unknown carpenter.
1023
00:49:39,277 --> 00:49:41,212
For over a century,
visitors have
1024
00:49:41,312 --> 00:49:46,684
been dazzled by his handiwork
and baffled by his identity.
1025
00:49:46,784 --> 00:49:49,620
In Oklahoma, a brutal murder
took the life of truck
1026
00:49:49,720 --> 00:49:51,522
driver Dwayne McCorkendale.
1027
00:49:51,622 --> 00:49:55,893
Perhaps you can help
identify his killers.
1028
00:49:55,993 --> 00:49:57,795
For every mystery,
there is someone
1029
00:49:57,895 --> 00:50:00,465
somewhere who knows the truth.
1030
00:50:00,565 --> 00:50:02,467
Perhaps that
someone is watching.
1031
00:50:02,567 --> 00:50:05,470
Perhaps it's you.
1032
00:50:05,570 --> 00:50:09,107
