00:00:04,705 --> 00:00:07,408
ANNOUNCER: This program is
about unsolved mysteries.
2
00:00:07,508 --> 00:00:09,410
Whenever possible, the
actual family members
3
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:11,379
and police officials
have participated
4
00:00:11,479 --> 00:00:13,013
in recreating the events.
5
00:00:13,114 --> 00:00:15,316
What you are about to see
is not a news broadcast.
6
00:00:20,621 --> 00:00:23,357
ROBERT STACK: In 1977,
a trip to Lake Champlain
7
00:00:23,457 --> 00:00:27,328
began as an ordinary summer
vacation for Sandra Mansi.
8
00:00:27,428 --> 00:00:29,697
It turned out to be
anything but ordinary when
9
00:00:29,797 --> 00:00:31,999
Sandra took this
remarkable photograph
10
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:34,102
along the shore of the lake.
11
00:00:34,202 --> 00:00:36,570
Some experts believe the
picture may be evidence
12
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:41,509
that Scotland's famous Loch Ness
Monster has an American cousin.
13
00:00:41,609 --> 00:00:44,978
Meet Pierre, a man
without a past.
14
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:48,182
In May of 1992, he
wandered, confused,
15
00:00:48,282 --> 00:00:50,751
disoriented, and penniless
into a homeless shelter
16
00:00:50,851 --> 00:00:52,420
in San Diego.
17
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,656
He hopes that someone watching
tonight can tell him who he is
18
00:00:55,756 --> 00:00:58,259
and where he came from.
19
00:00:58,359 --> 00:00:59,993
Todd Kelley and
Christie Mutzfeld
20
00:01:00,094 --> 00:01:01,995
were high school
sweethearts until Christie
21
00:01:02,096 --> 00:01:05,266
went away to college and
began dating another man.
22
00:01:05,366 --> 00:01:07,268
A few months later,
Todd Kelley was
23
00:01:07,368 --> 00:01:09,603
found murdered,
apparently the victim
24
00:01:09,703 --> 00:01:13,006
of a lethal lover's triangle.
25
00:01:13,107 --> 00:01:15,843
Also tonight, a woman has
been reunited with her family
26
00:01:15,943 --> 00:01:19,747
after she watched her own
story on "Unsolved Mysteries."
27
00:01:19,847 --> 00:01:20,881
Join me.
28
00:01:20,981 --> 00:01:24,352
Perhaps you may be able
to help solve a mystery.
29
00:01:24,452 --> 00:01:28,322
[theme music]
30
00:02:19,707 --> 00:02:23,076
Hamilton, Indiana is a small
lakeside resort town with just
31
00:02:23,177 --> 00:02:25,946
684 permanent residents.
32
00:02:26,046 --> 00:02:27,881
In the summer, the
population swells
33
00:02:27,981 --> 00:02:30,083
into the thousands
thanks to vacationers
34
00:02:30,184 --> 00:02:33,120
looking for a tranquil escape.
35
00:02:33,221 --> 00:02:37,358
But on August 9, 1989, the
peace and serenity of Hamilton
36
00:02:37,458 --> 00:02:40,361
was shattered forever.
37
00:02:40,461 --> 00:02:42,263
[distant screaming]
38
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:49,337
ROBERT STACK: At 7:00
AM, Christie Mutzfeld
39
00:02:49,437 --> 00:02:50,971
arrived at the home
of her boyfriend,
40
00:02:51,071 --> 00:02:53,274
19-year-old Todd Kelley.
41
00:02:53,374 --> 00:02:55,543
Moments later, she
fled in terror.
42
00:02:58,346 --> 00:02:59,913
CHRISTIE MUTZFELD: I saw
him lying on the floor,
43
00:03:00,013 --> 00:03:02,115
and I screamed his name.
44
00:03:02,216 --> 00:03:05,686
I could see just by looking
at him that something
45
00:03:05,786 --> 00:03:09,156
was very wrong-- wasn't right.
46
00:03:09,257 --> 00:03:10,691
ROBERT STACK: Todd
Kelley was dead--
47
00:03:10,791 --> 00:03:14,495
stabbed seven times in the
chest, back, and wrist.
48
00:03:14,595 --> 00:03:18,499
His death hit horrifyingly close
to home for Christie Mutzfeld.
49
00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:20,634
Just hours earlier,
the two lovers
50
00:03:20,734 --> 00:03:23,471
had been together in the same
house where Todd was killed.
51
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:30,478
The authorities immediately
questioned Christie Mutzfeld.
52
00:03:30,578 --> 00:03:31,945
And the story which
unfolded would
53
00:03:32,045 --> 00:03:33,481
eventually place
her at the center
54
00:03:33,581 --> 00:03:36,183
of an ongoing controversy.
55
00:03:36,284 --> 00:03:39,987
By the end of the interrogation,
a primary suspect emerged--
56
00:03:40,087 --> 00:03:42,856
another man, whom
Christie had been dating.
57
00:03:42,956 --> 00:03:44,625
A man who represented
the third side
58
00:03:44,725 --> 00:03:47,728
of a lethal lover's triangle,
built on the affections
59
00:03:47,828 --> 00:03:48,829
of Christie Mutzfeld.
60
00:03:51,899 --> 00:03:54,368
Christie met Todd Kelley
during their junior year
61
00:03:54,468 --> 00:03:55,503
at high school.
62
00:03:55,603 --> 00:04:00,441
For Todd especially, it
was love at first sight.
63
00:04:00,541 --> 00:04:03,344
CHRISTIE MUTZFELD: Todd was a
very kind person, very sweet.
64
00:04:03,444 --> 00:04:06,280
He didn't hold any
grudges against anyone.
65
00:04:06,380 --> 00:04:10,318
Todd really just cared about
everybody for who they were.
66
00:04:10,418 --> 00:04:13,887
After graduation, he
asked me to marry him.
67
00:04:13,987 --> 00:04:14,988
And I guess I said no.
68
00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:16,324
I said I really wasn't ready.
69
00:04:16,424 --> 00:04:17,691
I thought there was
other things I really
70
00:04:17,791 --> 00:04:20,861
wanted to do right now, and
that's pretty much where
71
00:04:20,961 --> 00:04:23,897
we broke it off, right there.
72
00:04:23,997 --> 00:04:25,366
ROBERT STACK: The
next fall, Christie
73
00:04:25,466 --> 00:04:29,036
enrolled at a small college
just seven miles from Hamilton.
74
00:04:29,136 --> 00:04:32,673
She soon began dating
Mahfuz Huq, a student whose
75
00:04:32,773 --> 00:04:34,675
parents had emigrated
from Bangladesh
76
00:04:34,775 --> 00:04:36,977
when he was just an infant.
77
00:04:37,077 --> 00:04:41,014
CHRISTIE MUTZFELD: He was
very outgoing, very energetic.
78
00:04:41,114 --> 00:04:42,550
He was interested
in what I had to say
79
00:04:42,650 --> 00:04:46,286
and I'm he was interested
in what I thought
80
00:04:46,387 --> 00:04:49,523
and what I believed in.
81
00:04:49,623 --> 00:04:51,291
ROBERT STACK: Despite
outward appearances,
82
00:04:51,392 --> 00:04:54,227
Mahfuz Huq was not
what he seemed to be.
83
00:04:54,328 --> 00:04:57,631
Shortly after he met Christie,
Mahfuz and one of his friends
84
00:04:57,731 --> 00:05:00,368
were arrested for three
separate robberies.
85
00:05:00,468 --> 00:05:04,438
In one of them, Mahfuz stole
$100,000 worth of jewelry
86
00:05:04,538 --> 00:05:06,907
from his own aunt.
87
00:05:07,007 --> 00:05:08,976
CHRISTIE MUTZFELD: He told me
that it was all his friend.
88
00:05:09,076 --> 00:05:10,611
His friend was a pro at it.
89
00:05:10,711 --> 00:05:12,112
He'd been wanted
in other states.
90
00:05:12,212 --> 00:05:15,783
And he pretty much laid
it all off on his friend.
91
00:05:15,883 --> 00:05:18,652
After he was arrested and he
had to go on house arrest,
92
00:05:18,752 --> 00:05:24,758
I guess it'd be called,
he became very possessive.
93
00:05:24,858 --> 00:05:27,127
He said that if he ever
saw me with anybody else
94
00:05:27,227 --> 00:05:29,897
that he would probably
kill him and then kill me.
95
00:05:33,233 --> 00:05:35,436
ROBERT STACK: A few months
later, Christie rekindled
96
00:05:35,536 --> 00:05:37,405
her romance with Todd Kelley.
97
00:05:37,505 --> 00:05:39,740
But Mahfuz Huq,
who lived nearby,
98
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:41,542
remained very much
in the picture.
99
00:05:44,945 --> 00:05:48,215
Two weeks before the murder,
Mahfuz walked the 10 miles
100
00:05:48,315 --> 00:05:51,218
from his house to Christie's
only to discover that she
101
00:05:51,318 --> 00:05:52,820
was out with Todd Kelley.
102
00:05:58,626 --> 00:06:00,894
Who's that?
103
00:06:00,994 --> 00:06:04,197
ROBERT STACK: On August 7, the
day before the murder, Todd
104
00:06:04,297 --> 00:06:06,366
was at the home of
a friend, Mike Kuhn,
105
00:06:06,467 --> 00:06:09,302
when Mahfuz appeared
unexpectedly.
106
00:06:09,403 --> 00:06:11,672
What can I do for you?
107
00:06:11,772 --> 00:06:14,207
I want to talk to you
about Christie a little bit.
108
00:06:14,307 --> 00:06:15,676
What would you like to know?
109
00:06:15,776 --> 00:06:16,777
MIKE KUHN: Mahfuz
asked Todd if he
110
00:06:16,877 --> 00:06:18,546
was going to quit seeing her.
111
00:06:18,646 --> 00:06:22,215
At that time, Todd
had told him no.
112
00:06:22,315 --> 00:06:24,251
She told me she's
in love with me.
113
00:06:24,351 --> 00:06:27,220
Their voices were never
raised or nothing like that.
114
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,189
They shook hands.
115
00:06:29,289 --> 00:06:33,661
And really, it seemed
like it was pretty
116
00:06:33,761 --> 00:06:35,295
much all over and done with.
117
00:06:38,298 --> 00:06:41,101
ROBERT STACK: 36 hours
later, Todd Kelley was dead
118
00:06:41,201 --> 00:06:43,871
and his house was
swarming with police.
119
00:06:43,971 --> 00:06:45,539
Authorities were
able to determine
120
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:48,909
that Todd had died around
3:15 AM that same morning.
121
00:06:52,245 --> 00:06:54,147
Mike McClelland of
the Steuben County,
122
00:06:54,247 --> 00:06:55,816
Indiana, sheriff's
department took
123
00:06:55,916 --> 00:06:58,085
charge of the investigation.
124
00:06:58,185 --> 00:06:59,887
He immediately
noticed that the crime
125
00:06:59,987 --> 00:07:01,889
scene had been tampered with.
126
00:07:01,989 --> 00:07:04,758
It was obvious that the
body had been cleaned up
127
00:07:04,858 --> 00:07:06,460
and then moved into
the living room
128
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,797
from another part of the house.
129
00:07:09,897 --> 00:07:11,164
Upon further
checking of the house,
130
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:12,633
we noticed that
there were no sheets
131
00:07:12,733 --> 00:07:15,002
on the bed in the bedroom.
132
00:07:15,102 --> 00:07:16,570
We also discovered
a spot where there
133
00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:22,075
was blood on the floor in the
bedroom by the bathroom door.
134
00:07:22,175 --> 00:07:24,645
It was very hard to find
this at first, because it
135
00:07:24,745 --> 00:07:27,180
had been wiped clean.
136
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,117
We believe that the sheets
were used to move the body
137
00:07:30,217 --> 00:07:33,386
and to clean up the crime scene.
138
00:07:33,487 --> 00:07:34,622
ROBERT STACK:
Oddly, the bedsheets
139
00:07:34,722 --> 00:07:37,257
have never been found.
140
00:07:37,357 --> 00:07:40,861
In the yard, police came
across several cigarette butts.
141
00:07:40,961 --> 00:07:45,432
They matched the brand
smoked by Mahfuz Huq.
142
00:07:45,533 --> 00:07:47,601
Authorities also
discovered that Todd's car
143
00:07:47,701 --> 00:07:49,336
had been wiped clean
of fingerprints,
144
00:07:49,436 --> 00:07:51,338
and the keys were missing.
145
00:07:51,438 --> 00:07:53,941
They theorize the killer
had planned to remove
146
00:07:54,041 --> 00:07:56,376
the body from the scene.
147
00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:58,378
L.M. MCCLELLAND: We discovered
that the headlights of the car
148
00:07:58,478 --> 00:07:59,980
didn't work.
149
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,815
I believe that the
suspect was going
150
00:08:01,915 --> 00:08:05,586
to try and use that vehicle
to transport the body.
151
00:08:05,686 --> 00:08:08,656
I think his efforts were foiled
by the fact that he didn't know
152
00:08:08,756 --> 00:08:09,757
that the car wasn't working.
153
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,562
ROBERT STACK: Police were
convinced that the person who
154
00:08:14,662 --> 00:08:16,363
held the key to
the investigation
155
00:08:16,463 --> 00:08:19,499
was Mahfuz Huq, who
had now disappeared.
156
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,101
They began to
track his movements
157
00:08:21,201 --> 00:08:22,469
around the time of the murder.
158
00:08:25,072 --> 00:08:28,542
Between 11:00 PM and 1:00 AM
on the night of the murder,
159
00:08:28,642 --> 00:08:30,410
two eyewitnesses
claimed to have seen
160
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:34,081
Mahfuz walking barefoot in
the direction of Todd's house.
161
00:08:37,184 --> 00:08:40,453
At virtually that same moment,
Christie Mutzfeld and Todd
162
00:08:40,554 --> 00:08:44,457
Kelley were in bed at his house.
163
00:08:44,558 --> 00:08:47,895
CHRISTIE MUTZFELD: When we were
in bed, I heard noises outside.
164
00:08:47,995 --> 00:08:48,862
[rustling]
165
00:08:48,962 --> 00:08:49,830
Who's that?
166
00:08:49,930 --> 00:08:50,798
What?
167
00:08:50,898 --> 00:08:51,765
I heard a noise.
168
00:08:51,865 --> 00:08:52,933
CHRISTIE MUTZFELD:
I really thought
169
00:08:53,033 --> 00:08:54,935
that something was outside.
170
00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:57,070
And Todd said it was
probably just a dog,
171
00:08:57,170 --> 00:08:58,939
because he had a
dog tied up out back
172
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:02,610
and he said it was
nothing to worry about.
173
00:09:02,710 --> 00:09:04,044
It was getting kind
of late and I told him
174
00:09:04,144 --> 00:09:07,514
I had to go home because I
hadn't really been home-home
175
00:09:07,615 --> 00:09:08,849
for quite a while,
and I knew my father
176
00:09:08,949 --> 00:09:11,218
would be upset, so I left.
177
00:09:11,318 --> 00:09:13,120
And he said he was going
to stay up all night
178
00:09:13,220 --> 00:09:16,356
and he wanted to get
something to drink.
179
00:09:16,456 --> 00:09:18,291
ROBERT STACK: Christie
says that, at 2:30 AM,
180
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:20,327
she drove Todd into town.
181
00:09:20,427 --> 00:09:23,563
She believes Mahfuz Huq entered
the house while they were gone.
182
00:09:27,267 --> 00:09:33,473
We drove back to his house
and I said goodbye in the car.
183
00:09:33,573 --> 00:09:34,374
He gave me a kiss.
184
00:09:34,474 --> 00:09:35,308
Don't forget to come back.
185
00:09:35,408 --> 00:09:36,276
I won't.
186
00:09:36,376 --> 00:09:37,745
I'll leave the door open.
187
00:09:37,845 --> 00:09:40,648
OK.
188
00:09:40,748 --> 00:09:42,750
Hey, don't forget.
189
00:09:42,850 --> 00:09:44,317
ROBERT STACK: Christie
says she dropped Todd
190
00:09:44,417 --> 00:09:46,987
off at approximately 3:00 AM.
191
00:09:47,087 --> 00:09:52,259
The coroner determined that Todd
was murdered within 15 minutes.
192
00:09:52,359 --> 00:09:55,128
[yelling]
193
00:09:58,098 --> 00:10:01,769
At 4:30 AM, Mahfuz Huq called
Christie from his parents'
194
00:10:01,869 --> 00:10:05,438
house 10 miles away.
195
00:10:05,538 --> 00:10:06,373
Hey.
196
00:10:06,473 --> 00:10:07,374
Morning.
197
00:10:07,474 --> 00:10:08,408
What time is it?
198
00:10:08,508 --> 00:10:10,210
ROBERT STACK: Two
hours later, Mahfuz
199
00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:11,845
showed up in her bedroom.
200
00:10:11,945 --> 00:10:13,847
According to Christie,
she broke off
201
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:15,983
their relationship for good.
202
00:10:16,083 --> 00:10:20,053
I've been thinking
that maybe--
203
00:10:20,153 --> 00:10:21,588
maybe it would just
be better if we
204
00:10:21,689 --> 00:10:24,324
didn't see each other anymore.
205
00:10:24,424 --> 00:10:26,159
Great.
206
00:10:26,259 --> 00:10:27,060
Fuz.
207
00:10:30,964 --> 00:10:32,165
I hope you're happy.
208
00:10:32,265 --> 00:10:33,366
CHRISTIE MUTZFELD:
It kind of scared
209
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:34,735
me, the tone of voice he had.
210
00:10:34,835 --> 00:10:36,403
I said, excuse me?
211
00:10:36,503 --> 00:10:38,638
He says, I hope you
have a happy life.
212
00:10:38,739 --> 00:10:39,572
And then he walked out.
213
00:10:45,278 --> 00:10:48,248
At first glance, the
case seemed open and shut.
214
00:10:48,348 --> 00:10:50,851
Mahfuz Huq, in an apparent
fit of jealous rage,
215
00:10:50,951 --> 00:10:52,986
had murdered Todd Kelley.
216
00:10:53,086 --> 00:10:54,321
The authorities
dismissed Christie
217
00:10:54,421 --> 00:10:56,990
Mutzfeld as a possible suspect.
218
00:10:57,090 --> 00:11:01,061
But then this seemingly simple
case took a surprising turn.
219
00:11:01,161 --> 00:11:02,930
Todd Kelley's
family is convinced
220
00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:05,833
that there are inconsistencies
in Christie's story.
221
00:11:05,933 --> 00:11:07,400
While they do not
believe Christie
222
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:09,837
was an active participant
in the murder,
223
00:11:09,937 --> 00:11:13,373
they do question whether she
has been completely honest.
224
00:11:13,473 --> 00:11:16,910
Christie's story is not
the way that it happened.
225
00:11:17,010 --> 00:11:19,246
According to all the
evidence that we have dug up
226
00:11:19,346 --> 00:11:21,081
and the evidence
that the police have,
227
00:11:21,181 --> 00:11:24,617
there is no way that
she was not there.
228
00:11:24,718 --> 00:11:28,288
She had to be there
during the murder.
229
00:11:28,388 --> 00:11:30,223
When Todd and Christie
returned home,
230
00:11:30,323 --> 00:11:32,292
they probably
started making love,
231
00:11:32,392 --> 00:11:36,363
and Mahfuz waited in the bushes.
232
00:11:36,463 --> 00:11:38,465
When he saw what was
happening, that's
233
00:11:38,565 --> 00:11:39,967
when his jealousy
took over and he
234
00:11:40,067 --> 00:11:43,636
could no longer control himself
and decided to finish the act.
235
00:11:52,780 --> 00:11:54,147
Who was that?
236
00:11:54,247 --> 00:11:56,116
VERNON KELLEY: When Christie
said she heard the noise,
237
00:11:56,216 --> 00:11:57,617
it was Mahfuz
coming in the door.
238
00:12:00,687 --> 00:12:03,056
[shouting]
239
00:12:11,131 --> 00:12:12,132
Don't kill me
240
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:13,500
VERNON KELLEY: I do
believe, at that point,
241
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,337
Mahfuz convinced her to help
him cover up the murder.
242
00:12:17,437 --> 00:12:18,872
Christie.
243
00:12:18,972 --> 00:12:23,743
We do believe, also, at
that point, that Christie
244
00:12:23,844 --> 00:12:24,945
did help move the body.
245
00:12:25,045 --> 00:12:27,280
There was no drag marks
on the carpet whatsoever.
246
00:12:27,380 --> 00:12:30,150
Mahfuz was not a large man.
247
00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:31,819
Todd was a good-sized fellow.
248
00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:33,586
It would have took
a lot of strength
249
00:12:33,686 --> 00:12:36,689
to pick him up bodily and
carry him out to the other room
250
00:12:36,790 --> 00:12:38,225
by himself.
251
00:12:38,325 --> 00:12:40,427
I don't know why
they want to blame me.
252
00:12:40,527 --> 00:12:44,031
I mean, I know Todd and I had
our hardships and I hurt him
253
00:12:44,131 --> 00:12:48,969
and he hurt me, and I
know that upset them,
254
00:12:49,069 --> 00:12:51,104
but I don't know why
they're blaming me.
255
00:12:51,204 --> 00:12:52,739
The possibility
of an accomplice
256
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,909
is pure speculation
at this point in time.
257
00:12:56,009 --> 00:12:58,445
There's no hard evidence.
258
00:12:58,545 --> 00:13:01,181
And by the evidence
given at the scene,
259
00:13:01,281 --> 00:13:03,283
it appears that he acted alone.
260
00:13:03,383 --> 00:13:07,921
Todd died approximately
at 3:15 in the morning.
261
00:13:08,021 --> 00:13:12,525
It amazes me how a man
alone could clean up
262
00:13:12,625 --> 00:13:15,695
that entire room, clean up
the entire mess he had made,
263
00:13:15,795 --> 00:13:18,966
move the body, entirely
clean the body,
264
00:13:19,066 --> 00:13:20,868
and also walk all
the way back home
265
00:13:20,968 --> 00:13:23,770
in the amount of time
that they had reported
266
00:13:23,871 --> 00:13:25,572
receiving another phone call.
267
00:13:25,672 --> 00:13:28,341
He had to have some help.
268
00:13:28,441 --> 00:13:29,843
L.M. MCCLELLAND: It's
our belief that there's
269
00:13:29,943 --> 00:13:32,745
a good possibility he could
have made it to Hamilton
270
00:13:32,846 --> 00:13:35,715
and back walking.
271
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:38,618
There's also the possibility, if
it took him longer than what he
272
00:13:38,718 --> 00:13:40,653
thought at the crime scene,
that he could have called
273
00:13:40,753 --> 00:13:44,124
someone to come and get him.
274
00:13:44,224 --> 00:13:45,458
ROBERT STACK: The
Kelley family believes
275
00:13:45,558 --> 00:13:49,296
that Christie is the person
who gave Mahfuz a ride home.
276
00:13:49,396 --> 00:13:51,865
In addition, they
questioned her statement
277
00:13:51,965 --> 00:13:54,267
about what happened when
she returned to Todd's house
278
00:13:54,367 --> 00:13:55,835
at 7:00 in the morning.
279
00:13:55,936 --> 00:13:59,106
She claimed she did not
immediately notice Todd's body
280
00:13:59,206 --> 00:14:02,175
even though it was lying
right by the front door,
281
00:14:02,275 --> 00:14:06,846
a point which even Sheriff
McClellan concedes is unlikely.
282
00:14:06,947 --> 00:14:09,316
L.M. MCCLELLAND: We're
not accusing Christie.
283
00:14:09,416 --> 00:14:11,318
The only problem is
we feel that there
284
00:14:11,418 --> 00:14:16,924
are some inconsistencies in the
things that she has told us.
285
00:14:17,024 --> 00:14:21,461
We've asked Christie for
a polygraph examination
286
00:14:21,561 --> 00:14:23,830
and she has refused to do that.
287
00:14:23,931 --> 00:14:27,300
All we want from her is the
truth and the whole truth.
288
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,937
And we do not believe we're
getting that from her.
289
00:14:30,037 --> 00:14:33,073
We do feel that possibly
she could help the case out
290
00:14:33,173 --> 00:14:35,943
by stepping forward and
telling the whole story
291
00:14:36,043 --> 00:14:38,045
the way it should be told.
292
00:14:38,145 --> 00:14:41,081
Todd's family, they've just--
293
00:14:41,181 --> 00:14:44,417
they've been very hard
on me from the beginning.
294
00:14:44,517 --> 00:14:45,752
They harassed me.
295
00:14:45,852 --> 00:14:51,691
They accused me-- unjustfully
accused me of everything.
296
00:14:51,791 --> 00:14:53,293
They wouldn't even let
me go to his funeral.
297
00:14:56,930 --> 00:14:59,366
They've just been accusing.
298
00:14:59,466 --> 00:15:03,903
And I realize they're hurting,
and I don't think that they
299
00:15:04,004 --> 00:15:07,840
realize that I'm hurting, too,
and that everything that they
300
00:15:07,941 --> 00:15:10,777
say and every time they
accuse me of something,
301
00:15:10,877 --> 00:15:11,678
it just hurts more.
302
00:15:15,448 --> 00:15:17,584
I don't know why they're
doing what they're doing.
303
00:15:33,866 --> 00:15:35,468
ROBERT STACK: Next,
the incredible tale
304
00:15:35,568 --> 00:15:38,605
of a primitive sea
creature, America's own Loch
305
00:15:38,705 --> 00:15:42,375
Ness Monster said to live in
the depths of Lake Champlain.
306
00:15:58,758 --> 00:16:02,262
Centuries ago, along the shores
of what is now Lake Champlain
307
00:16:02,362 --> 00:16:05,232
in upstate New York and
Vermont, the Iroquois
308
00:16:05,332 --> 00:16:08,301
paid homage to the spirit
of a great horned serpent
309
00:16:08,401 --> 00:16:12,372
said to rule the murky
depths of the lake.
310
00:16:12,472 --> 00:16:15,308
The fabled sea monster, which
captivated the Iroquois,
311
00:16:15,408 --> 00:16:17,944
still fascinates people today.
312
00:16:18,045 --> 00:16:22,049
In fact, in the past 25 years,
no less than 100 eyewitnesses
313
00:16:22,149 --> 00:16:25,285
claimed to have seen the
Lake Champlain sea monster,
314
00:16:25,385 --> 00:16:28,655
known affectionately as Champ.
315
00:16:28,755 --> 00:16:31,591
Yeah, I grew up
around here, you know.
316
00:16:31,691 --> 00:16:34,394
ROBERT STACK: Sandra Mansi,
a successful antiques dealer,
317
00:16:34,494 --> 00:16:36,796
grew up near Lake Champlain.
318
00:16:36,896 --> 00:16:38,731
When she was a child,
her grandfather
319
00:16:38,831 --> 00:16:43,470
teased her with fearsome tales
of the legendary creature.
320
00:16:43,570 --> 00:16:45,738
SANDRA MANSI: Grandfather
told us all about Champ.
321
00:16:45,838 --> 00:16:49,442
And when we would go
fishing, he would say to us,
322
00:16:49,542 --> 00:16:52,279
if you don't sit down
and behave in the boat,
323
00:16:52,379 --> 00:16:55,082
I'm going to throw you over
and Champ's going to eat you.
324
00:16:55,182 --> 00:16:56,983
Of course, we didn't
believe a word of it.
325
00:16:57,084 --> 00:17:00,087
It wasn't anything that
we really believed in.
326
00:17:00,187 --> 00:17:03,623
It was just a threat
of grandfather's.
327
00:17:03,723 --> 00:17:05,558
And so I just really
kind of dismissed
328
00:17:05,658 --> 00:17:07,494
it for years and
years as just one
329
00:17:07,594 --> 00:17:10,763
of grandfather's big stories.
330
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:13,166
ROBERT STACK: In
July of 1977, Sandra
331
00:17:13,266 --> 00:17:15,435
took this remarkable
photograph, which
332
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:18,771
fueled worldwide speculation
and, not surprisingly,
333
00:17:18,871 --> 00:17:20,140
controversy.
334
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,310
Sandra will never forget
the day she saw Champ.
335
00:17:28,014 --> 00:17:31,651
That summer, Sandra, her two
children, and her fiance,
336
00:17:31,751 --> 00:17:33,853
Tony, were on vacation
near Lake Champlain.
337
00:17:33,953 --> 00:17:34,754
OK.
338
00:17:34,854 --> 00:17:37,557
Just be careful.
339
00:17:37,657 --> 00:17:39,459
SANDRA MANSI: We stopped
at this one place
340
00:17:39,559 --> 00:17:43,130
and we went down over a bank.
341
00:17:43,230 --> 00:17:46,266
The children were down
further on the beach
342
00:17:46,366 --> 00:17:50,770
having a great time and Tony
decided to go back to the car
343
00:17:50,870 --> 00:17:52,439
and get the camera
because we hadn't taken
344
00:17:52,539 --> 00:17:54,274
any pictures of the children.
345
00:17:54,374 --> 00:17:55,475
They had their shoes
off and they're
346
00:17:55,575 --> 00:17:58,311
wading down on the shore.
347
00:17:58,411 --> 00:18:00,580
I wanna find a
really big skipper.
348
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,250
SANDRA MANSI: And I'm
sitting there by myself.
349
00:18:03,350 --> 00:18:10,190
And I'm looking out at the lake,
and the lake started churning.
350
00:18:10,290 --> 00:18:14,427
My first thought was scuba
divers, but then it's too much.
351
00:18:14,527 --> 00:18:17,096
There would be too big of
a group of scuba divers.
352
00:18:17,197 --> 00:18:21,000
But then fish-- there's
some very large sturgeon
353
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:24,036
and big walleyes in
Champlain, so I thought,
354
00:18:24,137 --> 00:18:27,574
well, it's a very, very
large school of fish.
355
00:18:27,674 --> 00:18:31,043
Then the head and the neck
came up out of the water,
356
00:18:31,144 --> 00:18:36,716
and then the back, and I watched
it turn its head and neck
357
00:18:36,816 --> 00:18:37,850
and look around.
358
00:18:37,950 --> 00:18:40,220
And when it first came
up, its mouth was open
359
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,755
and I could see water
coming out of the mouth,
360
00:18:42,855 --> 00:18:46,559
but I don't remember any eyes
or any details like that.
361
00:18:46,659 --> 00:18:49,762
Just the head and the
neck and the back.
362
00:18:49,862 --> 00:18:52,632
And it's really, really serene.
363
00:18:52,732 --> 00:18:57,337
And I'm feeling like
I shouldn't be there.
364
00:18:57,437 --> 00:19:00,273
This is something I
should not be witnessing
365
00:19:00,373 --> 00:19:02,942
because, to me, this
thing should have been
366
00:19:03,042 --> 00:19:05,512
extinct 30 million years ago.
367
00:19:05,612 --> 00:19:07,480
And even then I'm
not frightened.
368
00:19:07,580 --> 00:19:11,784
I'm in total awe and very calm.
369
00:19:11,884 --> 00:19:15,922
And then Tony came
back, and he saw it.
370
00:19:16,022 --> 00:19:16,923
Get out of the water.
371
00:19:17,023 --> 00:19:18,191
Get out of the water right now!
Come on!
372
00:19:18,291 --> 00:19:19,226
Get out of there!
373
00:19:19,326 --> 00:19:20,026
SANDRA MANSI: And
he got all panicky,
374
00:19:20,126 --> 00:19:21,361
screaming and hollering.
375
00:19:21,461 --> 00:19:22,262
Get up here!
376
00:19:22,362 --> 00:19:24,197
[inaudible] Come on.
377
00:19:24,297 --> 00:19:25,164
Get up there.
378
00:19:25,265 --> 00:19:26,366
Sandra, did you see that thing?
379
00:19:26,466 --> 00:19:28,167
SANDRA MANSI: And screamed
at me to get back there.
380
00:19:28,268 --> 00:19:30,002
So he helped me up the bank.
381
00:19:30,102 --> 00:19:33,039
And when he did, he handed me
the camera and I turned around
382
00:19:33,139 --> 00:19:34,941
and it's still there.
383
00:19:35,041 --> 00:19:37,444
I picked up the camera
and took one shot.
384
00:19:40,247 --> 00:19:41,881
ROBERT STACK: When Sandra
had the film developed,
385
00:19:41,981 --> 00:19:44,984
she was certain she had
taken a picture of Champ.
386
00:19:45,084 --> 00:19:47,086
She was equally certain
that no one would believe
387
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:48,788
that the photo was real.
388
00:19:48,888 --> 00:19:51,791
She threw away the negatives
and, fearing public ridicule,
389
00:19:51,891 --> 00:19:53,960
kept the picture hidden
for the next two years.
390
00:19:56,796 --> 00:19:58,498
I hope you don't think I'm
crazy with all this stuff
391
00:19:58,598 --> 00:19:59,466
I've been telling you about.
392
00:19:59,566 --> 00:20:00,600
No, not at all.
393
00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:02,802
ROBERT STACK: Finally,
in the autumn of 1979,
394
00:20:02,902 --> 00:20:06,806
Sandra had the snapshot blown
up into an 8 by 10 inch print.
395
00:20:06,906 --> 00:20:10,109
At the urging of friends,
she contacted Joe Zarzynski,
396
00:20:10,209 --> 00:20:13,079
who's spent more than a decade
researching a book on the Lake
397
00:20:13,179 --> 00:20:14,514
Champlain sea creature.
398
00:20:14,614 --> 00:20:15,915
Yeah, well, here.
399
00:20:16,015 --> 00:20:17,016
Here's the photograph.
400
00:20:17,116 --> 00:20:18,084
Thanks.
401
00:20:18,184 --> 00:20:20,787
I've been looking
forward to seeing this.
402
00:20:20,887 --> 00:20:22,154
This is a great picture.
403
00:20:22,255 --> 00:20:23,623
JOE ZARZYNSKi: When
I opened it up,
404
00:20:23,723 --> 00:20:25,725
I thought it was
too good to be true.
405
00:20:25,825 --> 00:20:31,130
After putting in so many years
of researching fieldwork,
406
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:33,266
and then finally there
was this color photograph
407
00:20:33,366 --> 00:20:38,705
that clearly depicted a head and
neck sticking out of the water.
408
00:20:38,805 --> 00:20:43,075
It was almost as if all my
Christmases came to me at once.
409
00:20:43,175 --> 00:20:44,777
Can you point out
on the map where
410
00:20:44,877 --> 00:20:45,912
you think the sighting was?
411
00:20:46,012 --> 00:20:46,879
Well, yeah.
412
00:20:46,979 --> 00:20:48,014
Mark the chart?
413
00:20:48,114 --> 00:20:50,116
I know it was at the
north end of the lake.
414
00:20:50,216 --> 00:20:51,451
ROBERT STACK:
Unfortunately, Sandra
415
00:20:51,551 --> 00:20:53,986
was unable to pinpoint
the exact part of the lake
416
00:20:54,086 --> 00:20:56,756
where she had taken
the photograph.
417
00:20:56,856 --> 00:20:59,326
Joe sent the print to
the University of Arizona
418
00:20:59,426 --> 00:21:00,259
to be analyzed.
419
00:21:03,296 --> 00:21:06,433
We digitized it and
ran all sorts of computer
420
00:21:06,533 --> 00:21:10,036
enhancement techniques.
421
00:21:10,136 --> 00:21:13,640
We were looking for pulleys
or ropes or anything
422
00:21:13,740 --> 00:21:16,075
like that, superimpositions.
423
00:21:16,175 --> 00:21:18,745
But we found no
evidence of hoaxing.
424
00:21:18,845 --> 00:21:23,850
And we concluded that that
object, whatever it is,
425
00:21:23,950 --> 00:21:27,554
was there in the lake at
that estimated distance.
426
00:21:27,654 --> 00:21:30,289
It wasn't any sort
of superimposition.
427
00:21:30,390 --> 00:21:31,858
ROBERT STACK: When the
photograph was released,
428
00:21:31,958 --> 00:21:34,361
it caused a media sensation.
429
00:21:34,461 --> 00:21:38,565
The "New York Times" and "Life"
magazine carried the story.
430
00:21:38,665 --> 00:21:42,001
Many were reminded of another,
far more well-known creature--
431
00:21:42,101 --> 00:21:45,438
the legendary Loch Ness
Monster of Scotland.
432
00:21:45,538 --> 00:21:48,741
Some speculated that, if
such creatures did exist,
433
00:21:48,841 --> 00:21:50,843
perhaps they were
prehistoric animals which
434
00:21:50,943 --> 00:21:54,080
had somehow managed to survive.
435
00:21:54,180 --> 00:21:56,248
The object in the
Mansi photograph
436
00:21:56,349 --> 00:22:01,888
resembled a plesiosaur,
which is an aquatic reptile
437
00:22:01,988 --> 00:22:05,257
from the Cretaceous, about
60, 70 million years ago.
438
00:22:05,358 --> 00:22:07,226
Long neck and flippers.
439
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:10,262
It resembles that.
440
00:22:10,363 --> 00:22:14,066
But that's a long
time to have survived.
441
00:22:14,166 --> 00:22:16,268
ROBERT STACK: Another theory
maintains that Champ might
442
00:22:16,369 --> 00:22:18,838
be a zeuglodon, a
snake-like whale
443
00:22:18,938 --> 00:22:21,974
extinct for 20 million years.
444
00:22:22,074 --> 00:22:24,176
Or perhaps Champ
was simply a lake
445
00:22:24,276 --> 00:22:29,916
sturgeon which have been known
to reach 7 feet in length.
446
00:22:30,016 --> 00:22:31,918
No matter the
explanation, the fact
447
00:22:32,018 --> 00:22:33,686
remains that, following
the publication
448
00:22:33,786 --> 00:22:36,355
of the Mansi photograph,
dozens of eyewitness sightings
449
00:22:36,456 --> 00:22:37,256
were reported.
450
00:22:40,026 --> 00:22:44,397
Near dusk on July 7, 1988,
Walter Tappan, his wife Sandi,
451
00:22:44,497 --> 00:22:47,066
and daughter Heidi went
out on Lake Champlain
452
00:22:47,166 --> 00:22:48,868
with a camcorder.
453
00:22:48,968 --> 00:22:50,703
The previous day,
Walter and Heidi
454
00:22:50,803 --> 00:22:52,805
believed they had seen Champ.
455
00:22:52,905 --> 00:22:55,842
The Tappans were probably
10 to 12 miles from the area
456
00:22:55,942 --> 00:22:59,746
where Sandra Mansi had taken
her photograph 11 years earlier.
457
00:23:03,182 --> 00:23:04,817
WALTER TAPPAN: It was a
quiet night, just as still
458
00:23:04,917 --> 00:23:07,186
as glass, like the
first night had been.
459
00:23:07,286 --> 00:23:10,523
And I was full of
anticipation and excitement,
460
00:23:10,623 --> 00:23:14,326
but also not necessarily
expecting anything.
461
00:23:14,427 --> 00:23:17,630
And for about 10
minutes we saw nothing.
462
00:23:17,730 --> 00:23:21,167
And then Sandi, curiously
enough, Sandi says--
463
00:23:21,267 --> 00:23:24,003
Walt. Walt, I think I see one.
464
00:23:24,103 --> 00:23:24,904
Get the camera, honey!
465
00:23:25,004 --> 00:23:26,138
Get the camera.
466
00:23:26,238 --> 00:23:28,575
WALTER TAPPAN: I was manning
the camera all the time.
467
00:23:28,675 --> 00:23:33,379
And when you look through the
viewfinder, you can't see much.
468
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,415
And so we had quite a time
there, where my daughter
469
00:23:36,516 --> 00:23:37,484
and my wife were saying, there!
470
00:23:37,584 --> 00:23:38,417
There!
Look!
471
00:23:38,518 --> 00:23:39,318
Look!
472
00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:41,120
And I'd say, where?
473
00:23:41,220 --> 00:23:42,989
I can't see anything.
474
00:23:43,089 --> 00:23:44,524
WALTER: Where?
475
00:23:44,624 --> 00:23:45,858
ROBERT STACK: Walter
and his family
476
00:23:45,958 --> 00:23:49,328
believe that they saw not just
one creature, but several.
477
00:23:49,428 --> 00:23:51,698
What he photographed is
visible in the center
478
00:23:51,798 --> 00:23:54,501
portion of the screen.
479
00:23:54,601 --> 00:23:56,368
WALTER TAPPAN: We
saw, frequently,
480
00:23:56,469 --> 00:24:01,941
a series of small humps coming
up, breaking the surface,
481
00:24:02,041 --> 00:24:05,645
gliding along, and
then subsiding again.
482
00:24:05,745 --> 00:24:09,916
But we watched these
creatures for 45 minutes.
483
00:24:10,016 --> 00:24:14,286
And at one particular
moment, Heidi, I think,
484
00:24:14,386 --> 00:24:16,823
spotted one not far from
the boat-- at the most
485
00:24:16,923 --> 00:24:19,325
50 or 60 feet from the boat.
486
00:24:19,425 --> 00:24:22,895
And then began the
footage for about 20
487
00:24:22,995 --> 00:24:27,066
or 30 seconds of seeing
these humps glide along.
488
00:24:27,166 --> 00:24:29,669
First two, then
three, then four,
489
00:24:29,769 --> 00:24:32,104
and then suddenly
five all in a row,
490
00:24:32,204 --> 00:24:34,907
stretching out about 20 feet.
491
00:24:35,007 --> 00:24:38,611
SANDI: Oh, my god.
492
00:24:38,711 --> 00:24:41,514
At one time, I saw I would
say five in the community.
493
00:24:41,614 --> 00:24:42,882
But throughout the night--
494
00:24:42,982 --> 00:24:45,051
it went on for about an hour--
495
00:24:45,151 --> 00:24:51,558
I had probably I would say seven
different sightings of them.
496
00:24:51,658 --> 00:24:53,593
Oh, my gosh, Heidi,
do you see another one?
497
00:24:53,693 --> 00:24:55,327
SANDI TAPPAN: And then I
became very worried about it
498
00:24:55,427 --> 00:24:56,829
because my husband
had seen it the night
499
00:24:56,929 --> 00:24:58,130
before and now we see it again.
500
00:24:58,230 --> 00:25:00,533
I thought, maybe this is
some sort of nesting site.
501
00:25:00,633 --> 00:25:02,569
But I didn't know what it was.
502
00:25:02,669 --> 00:25:04,704
And I kept trying to
make sense out of it.
503
00:25:04,804 --> 00:25:06,372
It's bigger.
It's even bigger.
504
00:25:06,472 --> 00:25:07,506
There are more humps.
505
00:25:07,607 --> 00:25:09,842
SANDI TAPPAN: We have
a sun deck on the back,
506
00:25:09,942 --> 00:25:12,178
so I decided to climb up
and stand on the sun deck,
507
00:25:12,278 --> 00:25:15,982
and I just scanned
the water like that,
508
00:25:16,082 --> 00:25:18,918
back and forth, scanning.
509
00:25:19,018 --> 00:25:23,455
And lo and behold, I saw one
of those Bramah bull humps
510
00:25:23,556 --> 00:25:25,057
coming along the water.
511
00:25:25,157 --> 00:25:28,294
And then all of the sudden,
the neck and the head came up
512
00:25:28,394 --> 00:25:32,131
and it looked right at me.
513
00:25:32,231 --> 00:25:33,633
I will never forget it.
514
00:25:33,733 --> 00:25:35,568
And so, as I said, it
just happened like that.
515
00:25:35,668 --> 00:25:36,936
All of the sudden,
there's this lead hump,
516
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,371
like the Brahma bull
hump, all of a sudden,
517
00:25:39,471 --> 00:25:42,675
just like this, just so
gracefully, just like that.
518
00:25:42,775 --> 00:25:43,576
Looked out.
519
00:25:43,676 --> 00:25:45,077
Looked at me.
520
00:25:45,177 --> 00:25:46,579
And I was screaming
with excitement,
521
00:25:46,679 --> 00:25:48,180
which I wish I wasn't
doing because it
522
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,749
went down more rapidly.
523
00:25:49,849 --> 00:25:52,418
Came back, and then
very gracefully,
524
00:25:52,518 --> 00:25:55,922
very slowly went back down
into the water just like that.
525
00:25:56,022 --> 00:25:57,123
And this was the movement.
526
00:25:57,223 --> 00:26:01,260
It was up and down.
527
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:04,631
There was no time for me to
get the camera and refocus.
528
00:26:04,731 --> 00:26:07,233
I'd give anything now
to have that on footage
529
00:26:07,333 --> 00:26:10,937
because what Sandi saw was, of
course, an astounding thing.
530
00:26:11,037 --> 00:26:13,539
This creature looking
at us and lifting
531
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:14,907
its head out of the water.
532
00:26:15,007 --> 00:26:19,846
And what it did was to confirm
absolutely for all of us
533
00:26:19,946 --> 00:26:22,381
that what we had seen was Champ.
534
00:26:22,481 --> 00:26:24,617
ROBERT STACK: Scientific
opinion is varied,
535
00:26:24,717 --> 00:26:26,585
but at least one expert
believes that what
536
00:26:26,686 --> 00:26:28,721
Walter Tappan
photographed was nothing
537
00:26:28,821 --> 00:26:31,891
more than a school of fish.
538
00:26:31,991 --> 00:26:33,626
Perhaps he is right.
539
00:26:33,726 --> 00:26:35,895
But who can explain
the Mansi photograph
540
00:26:35,995 --> 00:26:38,130
or the hundreds of
eyewitness accounts
541
00:26:38,230 --> 00:26:41,133
recorded through the centuries?
542
00:26:41,233 --> 00:26:43,535
SANDRA MANSI: Do I
believe Champ exists?
543
00:26:43,636 --> 00:26:47,539
You'll never convince
me of anything else.
544
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:48,941
You can call it Champ.
545
00:26:49,041 --> 00:26:50,777
You can call it a monster.
546
00:26:50,877 --> 00:26:52,378
You can call it a zeuglodon.
547
00:26:52,478 --> 00:26:53,746
You can call it a plesiosaur.
548
00:26:53,846 --> 00:26:56,348
Or you can call it
anything you want.
549
00:26:56,448 --> 00:26:59,251
I'm telling you,
in that lake, there
550
00:26:59,351 --> 00:27:01,754
is something extraordinary.
551
00:27:01,854 --> 00:27:03,555
I think there's a
good chance that there's
552
00:27:03,656 --> 00:27:06,358
something in Lake
Champlain that still
553
00:27:06,458 --> 00:27:08,795
remains unknown to zoology.
554
00:27:08,895 --> 00:27:09,896
Something large.
555
00:27:09,996 --> 00:27:12,198
Something unknown.
556
00:27:12,298 --> 00:27:15,567
And for that reason,
if for no other,
557
00:27:15,668 --> 00:27:18,437
we should continue trying
to find out what it is.
558
00:27:21,808 --> 00:27:24,043
ROBERT STACK: When we return,
the story of a young man
559
00:27:24,143 --> 00:27:27,479
who claims that he has lost
almost all memory of his past.
560
00:27:36,723 --> 00:27:40,059
Imagine waking up one day
with no sense of who you are,
561
00:27:40,159 --> 00:27:42,995
where you are, or
where you came from.
562
00:27:43,095 --> 00:27:45,297
That is exactly what happened
to a mysterious young man
563
00:27:45,397 --> 00:27:47,266
named Pierre, who
seems to be suffering
564
00:27:47,366 --> 00:27:49,568
from near-total amnesia.
565
00:27:49,668 --> 00:27:51,537
His odyssey began when
he awoke in the middle
566
00:27:51,637 --> 00:27:53,906
of nowhere,
surrounded by the fog
567
00:27:54,006 --> 00:27:56,943
and mist of a forgotten past.
568
00:27:57,043 --> 00:28:01,013
Those first few minutes,
you're literally nothing
569
00:28:01,113 --> 00:28:06,418
and you feel so empty.
570
00:28:06,518 --> 00:28:09,088
It's very lonely and
painful to be empty.
571
00:28:12,358 --> 00:28:15,027
Sorry if the voice shakes and
I st-- stutter more than usual,
572
00:28:15,127 --> 00:28:17,163
but it's not nice to
talk about these things.
573
00:28:20,900 --> 00:28:22,634
ROBERT STACK: It was a
chilly, windswept morning
574
00:28:22,735 --> 00:28:25,171
in May of 1992.
575
00:28:25,271 --> 00:28:27,473
Pierre says he
inexplicably found himself
576
00:28:27,573 --> 00:28:29,809
along a deserted
stretch of coastline
577
00:28:29,909 --> 00:28:32,078
with a blue duffel
bag beside him.
578
00:28:40,519 --> 00:28:43,255
Feeling weak, hungry,
and terribly confused,
579
00:28:43,355 --> 00:28:44,824
Pierre recalls that
he made his way
580
00:28:44,924 --> 00:28:50,629
to the road, Highway 1 leading
south from Big Sur, California.
581
00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:52,564
PIERRE: So I st--
started walking.
582
00:28:52,664 --> 00:28:55,467
And as I c-- came upon a--
583
00:28:55,567 --> 00:28:57,169
well, you could call it a
village if you're polite,
584
00:28:57,269 --> 00:28:58,838
but it's a very
small, small place.
585
00:28:58,938 --> 00:28:59,738
It's called G-- Gorda.
586
00:28:59,839 --> 00:29:01,808
I saw the sign.
587
00:29:01,908 --> 00:29:04,443
ROBERT STACK: Pierre spotted
a telephone, his first chance
588
00:29:04,543 --> 00:29:05,344
to obtain help.
589
00:29:13,485 --> 00:29:18,324
Only then did it dawn on him
that he had no one to call.
590
00:29:18,424 --> 00:29:21,027
PIERRE: Then I realized
I couldn't phone anybody,
591
00:29:21,127 --> 00:29:24,663
and that's when I
realized that I didn't
592
00:29:24,763 --> 00:29:28,134
know anybody, including me.
593
00:29:28,234 --> 00:29:30,002
ROBERT STACK: Alone and
distraught, Pierre searched
594
00:29:30,102 --> 00:29:31,871
through his belongings.
595
00:29:31,971 --> 00:29:34,907
Tucked into one of his shirts
was a crumpled piece of paper--
596
00:29:35,007 --> 00:29:38,377
a library card from the
Boston Public Library.
597
00:29:38,477 --> 00:29:43,782
Handwritten on the back of the
card was a name, April, Pierre.
598
00:29:43,883 --> 00:29:47,786
Pierre says now that it
was not his signature.
599
00:29:47,887 --> 00:29:53,559
PIERRE: It struck me that, hey,
that's the name of whoever owns
600
00:29:53,659 --> 00:29:54,861
that card, and that must be me.
601
00:29:54,961 --> 00:29:56,128
It's in my belongings
with my socks.
602
00:29:56,228 --> 00:29:57,029
It's with my shirts.
603
00:29:57,129 --> 00:29:59,765
It's with my things.
604
00:29:59,866 --> 00:30:01,200
ROBERT STACK: Pierre
claims he was plagued
605
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:04,803
by hazy memories of San
Diego, California, 400 miles
606
00:30:04,904 --> 00:30:06,538
to the south.
607
00:30:06,638 --> 00:30:12,945
With just $17 in his pocket,
he set out hitchhiking.
608
00:30:13,045 --> 00:30:16,782
Three days later, Pierre
arrived in San Diego.
609
00:30:16,883 --> 00:30:18,717
He wandered through the
streets of the city,
610
00:30:18,817 --> 00:30:22,521
searching for a
recognizable landmark.
611
00:30:22,621 --> 00:30:26,025
PIERRE: I was not so
much fr-- frightened
612
00:30:26,125 --> 00:30:30,162
anymore as angry because
I was so sure everything
613
00:30:30,262 --> 00:30:31,330
would come back.
614
00:30:31,430 --> 00:30:35,935
But I saw downtown
and said nothing.
615
00:30:36,035 --> 00:30:37,937
I looked at the building
and they meant nothing.
616
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,575
I was so sure this city
would bring everything back,
617
00:30:43,675 --> 00:30:45,878
and it did not.
618
00:30:45,978 --> 00:30:52,184
And I will walk the streets
of the city for a long time.
619
00:30:52,284 --> 00:30:53,552
ROBERT STACK: Pierre
felt he was hovering
620
00:30:53,652 --> 00:30:55,521
on the brink of madness.
621
00:30:55,621 --> 00:30:57,456
Finally, a
sympathetic bus driver
622
00:30:57,556 --> 00:30:59,758
gave him a free ride
to the St. Vincent
623
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:02,929
de Paul Homeless Shelter.
624
00:31:03,029 --> 00:31:05,164
JULIE BECKER: We've had cases
of people pretending they didn't
625
00:31:05,264 --> 00:31:07,766
know who they were,
but Pierre was
626
00:31:07,866 --> 00:31:12,404
very unique in that
sometimes in the other cases,
627
00:31:12,504 --> 00:31:13,839
the residents are
after something.
628
00:31:13,940 --> 00:31:17,209
They want to kind
of use staff to get
629
00:31:17,309 --> 00:31:19,278
some needs met of
theirs, and that
630
00:31:19,378 --> 00:31:20,579
wasn't Pierre's case at all.
631
00:31:20,679 --> 00:31:22,281
He didn't ask for anything.
632
00:31:22,381 --> 00:31:24,516
He didn't even ask for help.
633
00:31:24,616 --> 00:31:26,919
And hold your breath.
634
00:31:27,019 --> 00:31:28,154
ROBERT STACK: In
the past six months,
635
00:31:28,254 --> 00:31:30,222
Pierre has undergone
a battery of physical
636
00:31:30,322 --> 00:31:32,824
and psychological examinations.
637
00:31:32,925 --> 00:31:35,061
Doctors theorize
he may be suffering
638
00:31:35,161 --> 00:31:39,198
from trauma-induced amnesia.
639
00:31:39,298 --> 00:31:42,234
JULIE BECKER: The doctor here at
the facility did screen Pierre
640
00:31:42,334 --> 00:31:45,204
and found no obvious
physical causes
641
00:31:45,304 --> 00:31:47,806
or reasons for the amnesia.
642
00:31:47,906 --> 00:31:49,441
And he did say that
the case was very
643
00:31:49,541 --> 00:31:53,279
unique from his perspective
in that it's very rare to have
644
00:31:53,379 --> 00:31:56,782
somebody lose their
long-term memory for as long
645
00:31:56,882 --> 00:32:00,019
as Pierre has.
646
00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:01,820
ROBERT STACK: While at
St. Vincent's, Pierre
647
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,357
began the painstaking search
for clues to his past.
648
00:32:05,457 --> 00:32:09,728
Soon, fragments of his
former self began to emerge.
649
00:32:09,828 --> 00:32:11,730
Pierre, apparently, has
considerable knowledge
650
00:32:11,830 --> 00:32:14,700
of physics, advanced
math, and computers
651
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,170
and even claims he knows
how to fly an airplane.
652
00:32:18,270 --> 00:32:20,272
Pierre also discovered
that he possesses
653
00:32:20,372 --> 00:32:22,374
some artistic ability.
654
00:32:22,474 --> 00:32:25,777
But other clues only served
to deepen the mystery.
655
00:32:25,877 --> 00:32:28,314
In the blue duffel
bag was a neck brace.
656
00:32:28,414 --> 00:32:29,615
Pierre believes that
he may have been
657
00:32:29,715 --> 00:32:31,650
injured while playing hockey.
658
00:32:31,750 --> 00:32:34,620
He also claims that he can
type 85 words a minute.
659
00:32:39,091 --> 00:32:41,927
Pierre also found that
he has a talent for music
660
00:32:42,028 --> 00:32:44,563
and learned how to play the
guitar in just a few hours.
661
00:32:47,933 --> 00:32:50,869
Now, every morning, Pierre
travels to Balboa Park
662
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:53,039
in San Diego, where
he earns spending
663
00:32:53,139 --> 00:32:56,242
money as a street entertainer.
664
00:32:56,342 --> 00:33:00,512
PIERRE: Well, it gives me
an identity for one thing.
665
00:33:00,612 --> 00:33:01,747
I'm a musician.
666
00:33:01,847 --> 00:33:04,216
Now I am something.
667
00:33:04,316 --> 00:33:09,855
I don't feel empty now because
I keep myself very, very busy.
668
00:33:09,955 --> 00:33:13,792
Can you tell me something
about Curly and how you--
669
00:33:13,892 --> 00:33:15,927
ROBERT STACK: Hoping to add
detail to Pierre's fragmented
670
00:33:16,028 --> 00:33:18,997
memories, "Unsolved Mysteries"
arranged for him to consult
671
00:33:19,098 --> 00:33:21,200
with a police sketch artist.
672
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:24,236
In the session, two
portraits were created.
673
00:33:24,336 --> 00:33:25,971
Portraits of people
who may have been
674
00:33:26,072 --> 00:33:28,974
significant in Pierre's past.
675
00:33:29,075 --> 00:33:30,942
The first was a man
who Pierre believes
676
00:33:31,043 --> 00:33:34,846
is his cousin, Luke,
nicknamed Curly.
677
00:33:34,946 --> 00:33:37,716
According to Pierre,
Luke is an auto mechanic
678
00:33:37,816 --> 00:33:40,386
who once fixed the tour
bus of a well-known group
679
00:33:40,486 --> 00:33:45,557
of Louisiana musicians, the
Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
680
00:33:45,657 --> 00:33:47,659
The second drawing
was a woman who Pierre
681
00:33:47,759 --> 00:33:49,895
believes was once his employer.
682
00:33:49,995 --> 00:33:51,663
Her name is Carol.
683
00:33:51,763 --> 00:33:55,667
Pierre recalls that they worked
together in a business office.
684
00:33:55,767 --> 00:33:57,836
But for every memory
which returns,
685
00:33:57,936 --> 00:34:00,005
Pierre says there are
literally thousands which
686
00:34:00,106 --> 00:34:02,908
remain buried and forgotten.
687
00:34:03,008 --> 00:34:08,314
PIERRE: I just want to find out
what the past is if I c-- can.
688
00:34:08,414 --> 00:34:11,817
If I try to remember
something too hard,
689
00:34:11,917 --> 00:34:13,719
I get a beautiful headache
that I wouldn't want
690
00:34:13,819 --> 00:34:16,655
to inflict on my worst enemy.
691
00:34:16,755 --> 00:34:19,258
And most recently, like
those last few days,
692
00:34:19,358 --> 00:34:22,328
if I try not to remember
something that's coming back,
693
00:34:22,428 --> 00:34:25,597
I get the same thing.
694
00:34:25,697 --> 00:34:29,067
Like some lumps of
things come back
695
00:34:29,168 --> 00:34:30,502
that are not
especially pleasant.
696
00:34:35,874 --> 00:34:40,412
And if I try to
block them out, I
697
00:34:40,512 --> 00:34:41,813
get the same kind of headache.
698
00:34:41,913 --> 00:34:47,719
It's a hazy, piercing pain
that engulfs the whole head.
699
00:34:47,819 --> 00:34:49,755
It's not something nice.
700
00:34:49,855 --> 00:34:51,857
It's s-- something
I can do without.
701
00:34:56,528 --> 00:34:57,796
ROBERT STACK: Update.
702
00:34:57,896 --> 00:35:00,232
On the night of our
broadcast, a viewer in Canada
703
00:35:00,332 --> 00:35:02,801
called our telecenter to say
that the young man had once
704
00:35:02,901 --> 00:35:06,238
worked for his wife and that his
name is, in fact, Pierre April.
705
00:35:09,608 --> 00:35:11,643
Pierre soon learned
that he has two sisters
706
00:35:11,743 --> 00:35:13,479
and that his parents
live in Machin, Canada,
707
00:35:13,579 --> 00:35:16,515
where his father
practices medicine.
708
00:35:16,615 --> 00:35:19,318
The next day, they spoke on
the phone for the first time
709
00:35:19,418 --> 00:35:21,987
in more than five months.
710
00:35:22,087 --> 00:35:23,955
It was a very
emotional moment.
711
00:35:24,055 --> 00:35:27,193
And then I even had to tell
him that I couldn't even
712
00:35:27,293 --> 00:35:31,563
trust him 100%, that I wanted
the package with family
713
00:35:31,663 --> 00:35:35,367
pictures in it and with my birth
certificate in it and anything
714
00:35:35,467 --> 00:35:37,336
else he could think of.
715
00:35:37,436 --> 00:35:40,906
He said, OK, we'll
send that to you.
716
00:35:41,006 --> 00:35:42,808
And then he said, do
you remember your mom?
717
00:35:42,908 --> 00:35:44,476
And I said, no.
718
00:35:44,576 --> 00:35:47,213
And she was listening
on the extension,
719
00:35:47,313 --> 00:35:50,516
and she burst into tears.
720
00:35:50,616 --> 00:35:52,984
ROBERT STACK: A few days
later, the packet arrived.
721
00:35:53,084 --> 00:35:55,053
Pierre sat down with
his fiancee, whom
722
00:35:55,153 --> 00:35:57,656
he met in San Diego,
and a friend to get
723
00:35:57,756 --> 00:36:00,859
reacquainted with his past.
724
00:36:00,959 --> 00:36:06,265
PIERRE: It is strange to be told
who you are and what you did.
725
00:36:06,365 --> 00:36:08,567
I'm someone again.
726
00:36:08,667 --> 00:36:13,605
And for quite a few months,
I was nobody and nothing.
727
00:36:23,148 --> 00:36:24,683
ROBERT STACK: Next, the
heartwarming reunion
728
00:36:24,783 --> 00:36:25,951
of a woman and her family.
729
00:36:36,928 --> 00:36:39,197
On a previous broadcast,
we profiled the case
730
00:36:39,298 --> 00:36:41,933
of a woman named Lorene Roberts,
who mysteriously vanished
731
00:36:42,033 --> 00:36:45,537
in 1962 and had no idea that
she was one of the heirs
732
00:36:45,637 --> 00:36:47,606
to a million dollar estate.
733
00:36:47,706 --> 00:36:50,476
In a happy turn of
events, Lorene herself
734
00:36:50,576 --> 00:36:53,412
was watching television on
the night of our broadcast
735
00:36:53,512 --> 00:36:58,284
and saw her own story
on "Unsolved Mysteries."
736
00:36:58,384 --> 00:37:00,252
I'll be with you
in just a minute, OK?
737
00:37:00,352 --> 00:37:02,488
ROBERT STACK: In
1951, Lorene Roberts
738
00:37:02,588 --> 00:37:06,024
was 16 years old and working
as a waitress in Austin, Texas,
739
00:37:06,124 --> 00:37:07,793
when she fell in love.
740
00:37:07,893 --> 00:37:13,031
Coffee, pie, how about
I take you for a whirl?
741
00:37:13,131 --> 00:37:14,533
ROBERT STACK: Lorene
and the young serviceman
742
00:37:14,633 --> 00:37:16,668
were married just 10
days after they met.
743
00:37:19,571 --> 00:37:22,974
By 1956, the couple had
two sons and a daughter,
744
00:37:23,074 --> 00:37:25,143
but the marriage
was on the rocks.
745
00:37:25,243 --> 00:37:27,012
When her husband
filed for divorce,
746
00:37:27,112 --> 00:37:29,915
Lorene was left to raise
the children on her own.
747
00:37:30,015 --> 00:37:31,283
Will you be in
charge for Mommy?
748
00:37:31,383 --> 00:37:32,884
Will you do that for me?
749
00:37:32,984 --> 00:37:34,119
I gotta go now.
I gotta go.
750
00:37:34,219 --> 00:37:35,287
Will you watch out
for them for me?
751
00:37:35,387 --> 00:37:37,222
OK?
752
00:37:37,323 --> 00:37:38,724
RUBY BOHLES: Lorene tried.
753
00:37:38,824 --> 00:37:43,429
She worked and she tried
to handle her situations.
754
00:37:43,529 --> 00:37:46,965
And she loved her
children very much.
755
00:37:47,065 --> 00:37:49,100
But that was just something
she couldn't handle,
756
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,704
and she seen she
couldn't handle it.
757
00:37:52,804 --> 00:37:58,644
And she tried to get help
from her husband, but no help.
758
00:37:58,744 --> 00:38:00,045
ROBERT STACK:
Finally, Lorene felt
759
00:38:00,145 --> 00:38:02,648
she had no choice but to give
her children up for adoption.
760
00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:07,218
The decision left
Lorene shattered,
761
00:38:07,319 --> 00:38:12,157
and her emotional state
grew increasingly fragile.
762
00:38:12,257 --> 00:38:15,527
Finally, in 1957, the
stress became too great
763
00:38:15,627 --> 00:38:19,665
and Lorene was admitted to
a state mental facility.
764
00:38:19,765 --> 00:38:20,699
Take care now.
765
00:38:20,799 --> 00:38:21,600
OK.
766
00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:22,734
You, too.
767
00:38:22,834 --> 00:38:24,169
ROBERT STACK: Two years
later, while on furlough
768
00:38:24,269 --> 00:38:26,605
from the facility,
Lorene paid a short visit
769
00:38:26,705 --> 00:38:28,206
to her sister, Ruby.
770
00:38:28,306 --> 00:38:30,742
No one in the family ever
heard from her again.
771
00:38:34,212 --> 00:38:36,782
In 1988, Lorene became
one of the heirs
772
00:38:36,882 --> 00:38:40,185
to a million dollar estate
after the death of her mother.
773
00:38:40,285 --> 00:38:41,953
An extensive search
was launched,
774
00:38:42,053 --> 00:38:44,022
but there was no sign
of Lorene Roberts.
775
00:38:46,925 --> 00:38:48,727
When we aired the
story, we never
776
00:38:48,827 --> 00:38:50,896
imagined that Lorene
would call our telecenter
777
00:38:50,996 --> 00:38:53,432
and solve her own mystery.
778
00:38:53,532 --> 00:38:55,233
Lorene's family was
overjoyed to learn
779
00:38:55,333 --> 00:38:57,235
that she was alive and well.
780
00:38:57,335 --> 00:39:00,406
Her sister, Ruby, immediately
flew to Little Rock, Arkansas,
781
00:39:00,506 --> 00:39:02,408
where Lorene had been
working as a housekeeper
782
00:39:02,508 --> 00:39:03,875
for just room and board.
783
00:39:08,046 --> 00:39:10,215
A few days later,
Ruby brought Lorene
784
00:39:10,315 --> 00:39:13,151
back home to Austin, Texas,
for a poignant reunion
785
00:39:13,251 --> 00:39:14,553
with the rest of her family.
786
00:39:25,797 --> 00:39:27,399
VIRGINIA TURNER: It
was unbelievable.
787
00:39:27,499 --> 00:39:31,136
I could hardly believe
it because, I guess,
788
00:39:31,236 --> 00:39:33,605
for so long, we have
searched and searched for her
789
00:39:33,705 --> 00:39:37,075
and we couldn't find a lead.
790
00:39:37,175 --> 00:39:39,811
I was so enthused I just--
791
00:39:39,911 --> 00:39:41,513
I cried.
792
00:39:41,613 --> 00:39:42,414
I laughed.
793
00:39:42,514 --> 00:39:43,314
I did everything.
794
00:39:43,415 --> 00:39:49,855
Day
795
00:39:49,955 --> 00:39:52,591
LORENE HOUTKIN: Yes, it's
[inaudible] nice to be back.
796
00:39:52,691 --> 00:39:54,025
They're real nice.
797
00:39:54,125 --> 00:39:56,895
They've always been.
798
00:39:56,995 --> 00:40:00,866
They're original people that
are very darling people.
799
00:40:04,736 --> 00:40:06,438
ROBERT STACK: After we
filmed this reunion,
800
00:40:06,538 --> 00:40:09,240
Lorene remained in
Austin for three months.
801
00:40:09,340 --> 00:40:12,478
She received her
$105,000 inheritance
802
00:40:12,578 --> 00:40:14,480
and has since returned
to her home in Arkansas.
803
00:40:19,918 --> 00:40:24,490
This is the wonderful person
we looked for for 30 years.
804
00:40:24,590 --> 00:40:27,392
We're going to try to be happy
and just do all the things we
805
00:40:27,493 --> 00:40:33,431
can to be together and love each
other and include her children
806
00:40:33,532 --> 00:40:37,235
and her grandchildren,
which I think
807
00:40:37,335 --> 00:40:40,606
will be real good for
Lorene and all of us.
808
00:40:48,647 --> 00:40:50,782
From time to time, the
authorities contact us with
809
00:40:50,882 --> 00:40:53,885
fast-breaking cases, hoping that
an urgent appeal to our viewers
810
00:40:53,985 --> 00:40:55,654
may help solve them.
811
00:40:55,754 --> 00:40:57,989
Our first special alert
tonight is a tragic story
812
00:40:58,089 --> 00:41:03,394
of a woman who was kidnapped and
later murdered by her husband.
813
00:41:03,495 --> 00:41:05,931
Joseph and Lois Krantz
of Kalamazoo, Michigan,
814
00:41:06,031 --> 00:41:09,635
have been married for 14
years, none of them easy.
815
00:41:09,735 --> 00:41:11,436
Joseph had been in
and out of prison
816
00:41:11,537 --> 00:41:15,607
since the mid-1970s for offenses
ranging from burglary to fraud
817
00:41:15,707 --> 00:41:17,709
to forgery.
818
00:41:17,809 --> 00:41:21,212
On July 31, 1992, he
was released from jail
819
00:41:21,312 --> 00:41:23,982
after serving 2 and 1/2
months for embezzlement
820
00:41:24,082 --> 00:41:26,585
and parole violation.
821
00:41:26,685 --> 00:41:29,621
At the time, his wife, Lois,
was pregnant with the couple's
822
00:41:29,721 --> 00:41:33,091
third child, but she had
recently contacted legal aid
823
00:41:33,191 --> 00:41:36,094
about seeking a divorce.
824
00:41:36,194 --> 00:41:39,097
On August 5, less than a
week after his release,
825
00:41:39,197 --> 00:41:43,535
Joseph Krantz showed up at Lois'
apartment, brandishing a gun.
826
00:41:43,635 --> 00:41:47,673
A friend, Janise McCrea,
was with Lois that morning.
827
00:41:47,773 --> 00:41:51,476
She went into the
bedrooms to get some stuff.
828
00:41:51,577 --> 00:41:52,778
We went into the living room.
829
00:41:52,878 --> 00:41:53,645
We?
830
00:41:53,745 --> 00:41:55,781
Me and the kids.
831
00:41:55,881 --> 00:41:57,448
While we were
sitting there, Lois
832
00:41:57,549 --> 00:42:00,218
come running out of the bedroom
yelling, oh no, oh no, just
833
00:42:00,318 --> 00:42:02,353
screaming.
834
00:42:02,453 --> 00:42:05,857
ROBERT STACK: Krantz forced his
wife into a car and sped away.
835
00:42:05,957 --> 00:42:08,226
That night, he called
his mother and told her
836
00:42:08,326 --> 00:42:11,496
that he had killed Lois and
dumped her body near a lake
837
00:42:11,597 --> 00:42:14,365
about 30 miles from Kalamazoo.
838
00:42:14,465 --> 00:42:16,902
Three days later,
Lois Krantz's body
839
00:42:17,002 --> 00:42:20,471
was found in the general area
her husband had described.
840
00:42:20,572 --> 00:42:22,473
She had been shot
once in the head.
841
00:42:25,276 --> 00:42:29,414
On August 12, 1992, Lois
Krantz was laid to rest.
842
00:42:29,514 --> 00:42:32,183
Her two daughters are now
with relatives in a place
843
00:42:32,283 --> 00:42:34,586
where they will be
safe from their father.
844
00:42:34,686 --> 00:42:36,688
Joseph Krantz has not
been seen since he
845
00:42:36,788 --> 00:42:39,457
kidnapped his wife and
authorities believe
846
00:42:39,557 --> 00:42:40,792
he may now be in Florida.
847
00:42:53,939 --> 00:42:55,774
In our second
special alert case,
848
00:42:55,874 --> 00:42:58,610
another family has been
shattered by a kidnapping.
849
00:42:58,710 --> 00:43:00,646
The victim is a
65-year-old woman
850
00:43:00,746 --> 00:43:06,384
who suffers from severe asthma
and must have daily medication.
851
00:43:06,484 --> 00:43:08,086
Martha Doe Roberts
and her husband,
852
00:43:08,186 --> 00:43:13,024
Allen, lived in Eads, Tennessee,
25 miles from Memphis.
853
00:43:13,124 --> 00:43:15,260
Allen last saw his wife
when he left for work
854
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:19,164
at 9:30 AM on August 7, 1992.
855
00:43:19,264 --> 00:43:23,301
When he returned later in the
afternoon, his wife was gone.
856
00:43:23,401 --> 00:43:26,705
That night, Allen Roberts
received a ransom call.
857
00:43:26,805 --> 00:43:30,141
A muffled male voice
demanded $100,000
858
00:43:30,241 --> 00:43:33,078
or threatened he would
split open Martha's head.
859
00:43:33,178 --> 00:43:36,748
The kidnapper has made
no further contact.
860
00:43:36,848 --> 00:43:41,653
If Doe is released unharmed,
I will meet any demand.
861
00:43:41,753 --> 00:43:44,956
I will do whatever is necessary
to obtain her release.

ROBERT STACK: Next week on
"Unsolved Mysteries," Senator
863
00:44:09,881 --> 00:44:12,650
Huey Long of
Louisiana, in his day
864
00:44:12,751 --> 00:44:16,121
the most fascinating character
in American politics.
865
00:44:16,221 --> 00:44:19,725
But in 1935, Long died
in a flurry of gunfire
866
00:44:19,825 --> 00:44:21,860
in his own state capitol.
867
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,730
History records that his
assassin, Dr. Carl Weiss,
868
00:44:24,830 --> 00:44:28,700
was killed almost instantly
by the senator's bodyguards.
869
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,201
Today, there is
mounting evidence
870
00:44:30,301 --> 00:44:32,470
that Dr. Weiss may
have been innocent,
871
00:44:32,570 --> 00:44:34,940
and that the truth may have
been shrouded by a cover-up.
872
00:44:37,743 --> 00:44:39,444
Join me next time.
873
00:44:39,544 --> 00:44:43,481
Perhaps you may be able
to help solve a mystery.
874
00:44:43,581 --> 00:44:47,719
