00:01:40
it was an ordinary wednesday morning in
00:01:42
the neighborhood of roger and dj dean
00:01:45
except for the strange car parked on the
00:01:47
street
00:01:49
some remembered it was a 68 pontiac
00:01:52
others a 76 oldsmobile but everyone
00:01:56
agreed the man inside was a stranger
00:01:59
[Music]
00:02:01
at the time they thought nothing of it
00:02:03
but at the time roger dean
00:02:05
was still alive
00:02:10
roger called his wife into the bedroom
00:02:12
around seven that morning
00:02:14
jay come out here
00:02:16
what is it roger all right lady shut up
00:02:19
and get on the bed
00:02:24
the masked intruder forced roger to tie
00:02:27
and blindfold his wife
00:02:31
then he took roger into another room
00:02:34
as dj laid helplessly on her bed
00:02:37
she could hear roger and the gunman talk
00:02:39
but she couldn't tell what they were
00:02:41
saying
00:02:44
dj heard the gunman rifling through
00:02:46
drawers
00:02:58
at the front door he fired again
00:03:01
at point-blank range
00:03:04
[Music]
00:03:17
roger dean died
00:03:19
before help could arrive
00:03:23
from the beginning several aspects of
00:03:25
the case puzzled investigators
00:03:28
roger had twine marks on only one wrist
00:03:31
so it appeared that he had never
00:03:33
actually been tied up by the gunman
00:03:36
also roger was wearing contact lenses
00:03:40
when he was shot
00:03:42
yet strangely in an upstairs bedroom his
00:03:45
glasses were found covered with duct
00:03:48
tape
00:03:50
police believe that both the twine and
00:03:52
the glasses were red herrings
00:03:54
planted to give the impression that
00:03:56
roger had been blindfolded and bound
00:03:59
we believe that roger hired an
00:04:01
individual to come over to
00:04:04
basically kidnap him
00:04:06
take him to his bank withdrawal
00:04:09
thirty thousand dollars from their
00:04:11
account
00:04:12
and then obviously drop roger off some
00:04:14
place
00:04:15
so roger could report a robbery and he
00:04:18
would have that 30 000 to himself
00:04:21
during the investigation police also
00:04:24
learned that roger had taken nearly 30
00:04:27
dollars from his business and put it in
00:04:29
a secret account
00:04:33
on most weekdays roger left home before
00:04:36
6 15 a.m on the day of his murder he was
00:04:40
seen drinking coffee in his garage
00:04:42
at 7 00 a.m
00:04:46
what we make of that timing is that he
00:04:49
was waiting for
00:04:50
this individual to come and meet him at
00:04:52
his house
00:04:53
we also believe that the individual was
00:04:55
probably sitting in his car when roger
00:04:58
lifted the garage door which was a
00:05:00
signal for this individual to get out of
00:05:02
his car and walk over to roger's home
00:05:07
in my heart i cannot believe that roger
00:05:09
had anything to do with this
00:05:12
this is the man that i
00:05:15
was married to for 26 years and
00:05:18
yes there had been
00:05:20
personal problems
00:05:22
in the last few years
00:05:25
especially since the death of our son
00:05:28
but i knew the man too well
00:05:31
[Music]
00:05:35
after roger's death dj and her daughter
00:05:38
tammy tried to move on with their lives
00:05:40
but five years later they received a
00:05:43
chilling anonymous letter
00:05:46
incredibly its author claimed to be the
00:05:48
man who killed roger dean
00:05:53
the letter demanded 100 000
00:05:57
and if the money wasn't delivered he
00:05:59
threatened to kill again
00:06:01
do you know that i've met your daughter
00:06:03
tammy on a few occasions
00:06:06
do not make me kill her
00:06:09
your son is dead your husband is dead
00:06:12
do not risk your daughter she is the
00:06:14
last one left
00:06:18
i was in total shock
00:06:22
i mean this was like something that
00:06:24
doesn't happen to you this only happens
00:06:26
in the movies it makes me angry that we
00:06:28
had just started to get on with our
00:06:30
lives and put the past in the past
00:06:32
and it's all brought up to you again you
00:06:34
know this person isn't letting us
00:06:36
continue and we never did anything
00:06:38
to deserve this
00:06:42
dj and tammy called the police and the
00:06:44
fbi
00:06:45
they were convinced that the letter was
00:06:48
legitimate and that it was written by
00:06:50
roger's killer
00:06:52
dj and tammy were given round-the-clock
00:06:54
protection
00:06:55
the killer told dj that he would call
00:06:58
again
00:07:00
wait for the second ring now
00:07:04
fbi agents moved into dj's home and set
00:07:07
up a wiretap
00:07:09
hello
00:07:10
listen your husband owed me money and i
00:07:12
want my money
00:07:14
if my husband owed you money i'll pay
00:07:16
you what he owed you the fbi traced the
00:07:18
call to a phone booth in denver
00:07:21
call you tomorrow and i'll tell you
00:07:22
where to take it
00:07:23
but when they got there the killer was
00:07:25
gone
00:07:32
the killer called 12 more times
00:07:35
and then he told vijay to drive to a
00:07:37
supermarket 20 miles north of her home
00:07:40
and wait for further instructions
00:07:42
dj tried to trap the caller with the
00:07:44
help of an fbi agent hidden in her car
00:07:47
surveillance trucks and a swat team were
00:07:50
nearby
00:07:51
okay she's out of the car
00:07:53
and she's headed across the parking lot
00:07:55
now she's headed towards the phone
00:07:58
booths
00:08:01
i waited and i waited and i waited
00:08:05
i could not believe i was really having
00:08:07
to go through this chair
00:08:14
hello
00:08:17
the extortionist finally called and told
00:08:19
dj to leave one hundred thousand dollars
00:08:22
in an alley behind an apartment complex
00:08:24
in downtown denver later that evening
00:08:27
the fbi watched as dj made the drop
00:08:36
they waited until dawn
00:08:38
but no one showed up whether or not he
00:08:41
spotted something
00:08:43
whether or not he just took for
00:08:45
granted that the law enforcement was
00:08:47
involved or whether or not he got cold
00:08:51
feet and although he didn't detect any
00:08:53
type of law enforcement he just
00:08:55
was too
00:08:56
scared to actually make the pickup i
00:08:59
think all those are possibilities when
00:09:01
he didn't pick it up i was devastated
00:09:04
because i thought this is not over
00:09:09
there's nothing more that either one of
00:09:11
us want than
00:09:12
for this to be solved and now i'm gonna
00:09:14
hurt you he's still terrorizing us he is
00:09:18
still making us live a nightmare that
00:09:20
continues on and on all the time
00:09:24
in his last call the extortionist told
00:09:26
tammy he planned to kill her he said he
00:09:30
would strike when she least expected it
00:09:33
update there are new developments in
00:09:35
this case
00:09:36
and here's one of our staff with details
00:09:39
in 2020 dna evidence found on the killer
00:09:43
ski mask led investigators to a new
00:09:45
suspect michael jefferson jefferson was
00:09:49
arrested and currently faces charges for
00:09:51
first degree murder and kidnapping
00:09:55
next
00:09:56
how could a woman disappear from a busy
00:09:58
casino
00:09:59
24-hour surveillance cameras may provide
00:10:02
the answer
00:10:16
apple valley california
00:10:20
al henderson and gene moore seemed like
00:10:22
the typical couple in love
00:10:25
but they spent more than a typical
00:10:26
amount of time getting to know each
00:10:28
other
00:10:30
it took al 20 years to finally propose
00:10:33
to gene
00:10:35
she was very happy and we were making
00:10:37
plans for the wedding
00:10:39
she got more excited about it
00:10:42
with each passing day
00:10:45
however gene's children weren't nearly
00:10:47
as happy about the engagement
00:10:50
the longer i knew him the less genuine
00:10:52
he seemed i know he said that he loved
00:10:54
her many times but he also had a habit
00:10:57
of putting her down in front of other
00:10:59
people and to me that just didn't sound
00:11:01
like love
00:11:02
when your mother asked you to be nice to
00:11:05
somebody who they like
00:11:07
you go along with it even though you've
00:11:09
tried to talk like i did i tried to talk
00:11:11
my mom out of being around the guy
00:11:17
a few months after the proposal gina now
00:11:19
went on a vacation in laughlin nevada a
00:11:22
scaled down version of las vegas
00:11:25
it was there a few days later that al
00:11:28
reported jane missing
00:11:30
no one has seen or heard from her since
00:11:34
many people especially her children are
00:11:37
convinced that something bad happened to
00:11:39
gene and that her fiancee al was somehow
00:11:42
involved
00:11:43
what follows is al side of the story and
00:11:46
his account of the day that gene
00:11:48
disappeared
00:11:51
according to al they were just about to
00:11:53
check out of their hotel when jean
00:11:55
wanted to play her lucky slot machine
00:11:58
just one more time
00:11:59
he told us that he dropped her off at a
00:12:01
side entrance of a nearby casino and
00:12:04
went to find a parking place
00:12:07
when i did not find one then i returned
00:12:10
to the valet parking
00:12:12
can my wife pick up the car later thank
00:12:14
you
00:12:15
got the ticket
00:12:17
went inside the casino where gene was
00:12:20
waiting for me here's the claim check
00:12:22
for the car our plan was that we would
00:12:24
meet back at our hotel room at a quarter
00:12:27
of 12.
00:12:30
al claims that he left gene in the
00:12:32
casino at around 9 30 in the morning
00:12:35
once outside he planned to take a taxi
00:12:37
back to the hotel
00:12:40
there was no cab there
00:12:42
so after waiting a couple of minutes and
00:12:44
the cab didn't come i thought well it
00:12:46
would be nice i could go
00:12:48
play the slots with her a little bit
00:12:51
but al found somebody else playing
00:12:53
gene's favorite slot machine
00:12:56
i felt well because someone was there
00:12:58
playing it she may have decided to go
00:13:00
shopping or
00:13:02
some other thing
00:13:04
from a quarter of 10 to 10 15. i played
00:13:09
the machine that she liked hoping that
00:13:11
she would come back and i would be able
00:13:13
to get up and just say here's your
00:13:14
machine have fun
00:13:22
can you take these bags to security for
00:13:24
checking out
00:13:25
al checked out of the hotel around noon
00:13:27
and returned to the casino to look for
00:13:29
gene
00:13:30
when i saw that the car was right where
00:13:32
it had been left
00:13:34
and
00:13:35
i
00:13:36
spoke to the valet nobody had brought a
00:13:39
ticket for the car
00:13:40
then i began to become alarmed
00:13:45
al says he thoroughly searched the lobby
00:13:47
the shops and the gaming area but he
00:13:49
says he could not find gene
00:13:53
over the next few days al distributed
00:13:56
thousands of these flyers in the
00:13:58
laughlin area despite a 25 000 reward no
00:14:02
one called
00:14:03
after a certain amount of time i had to
00:14:06
figure that
00:14:09
something
00:14:10
terrible has happened
00:14:13
gene's children thought the same thing
00:14:16
but they are convinced that henderson
00:14:18
knows more than he's saying
00:14:21
the more we find out about what
00:14:23
supposedly happened
00:14:25
as compared to what can be verified the
00:14:28
less i'm inclined to believe that he's
00:14:31
telling the full truth
00:14:33
in my opinion al has not said everything
00:14:37
that had happened then
00:14:39
the reason i say that is because number
00:14:41
one the story has changed a couple of
00:14:43
times
00:14:45
al originally told police that he
00:14:47
dropped jean off in front of the casino
00:14:50
and gave her the valet ticket there
00:14:53
but al told us that he left jean at a
00:14:56
side entrance and gave her the ticket
00:14:58
inside the casino
00:15:02
within a couple of days or within the
00:15:04
day
00:15:05
you know i
00:15:06
i knew that he was involved or
00:15:09
in my heart i know he was in goal
00:15:13
police knew the casino had surveillance
00:15:15
cameras that monitored every square inch
00:15:17
of the casino 24 hours a day
00:15:20
it was time to verify al henderson's
00:15:22
story
00:15:26
al had said that a valet parked his
00:15:28
cadillac and that he entered the casino
00:15:30
a little after nine
00:15:32
surveillance tapes confirmed this
00:15:35
beyond this point henderson's story and
00:15:37
the surveillance footage do not match up
00:15:41
this tape shows two views of the area
00:15:43
where he says he gave gene the valet
00:15:45
ticket and where they supposedly walked
00:15:48
around
00:15:49
i have reviewed four of those tapes of
00:15:52
the areas that mr henderson said that
00:15:54
they were in
00:15:55
and the tapes that i have reviewed the
00:15:57
surveillance tapes that i have reviewed
00:15:58
we do not see genie
00:16:00
in any of those tapes
00:16:02
i can't really comment on that i can
00:16:04
only tell you
00:16:06
what happened i i accept no
00:16:08
responsibility for
00:16:10
what their tapes show or don't show
00:16:12
because i
00:16:14
am not an expert in that field i can
00:16:15
just tell you what happened
00:16:18
al also said that he had waited for jean
00:16:20
at her favorite slot machine
00:16:23
in examining the tapes for the time
00:16:26
frame i'll give us 9 45 to approximately
00:16:29
10 15. the machines that he told
00:16:32
security was her favorite machine we do
00:16:34
not see al playing those machines
00:16:38
eliola's response to that is that he was
00:16:41
evidently looking at the tape of the
00:16:43
wrong machine
00:16:45
i have checked with the
00:16:46
surveillance
00:16:47
personnel for the hotel and they have
00:16:50
advised me that this is the group of
00:16:52
machines that al
00:16:54
henderson told the security personnel
00:16:56
was genie's favorite machine
00:16:58
investigators began to wonder if gene
00:17:01
had been in laughlin at all eventually
00:17:04
they found a waitress who had served
00:17:06
alan gene on the day they arrived
00:17:10
other than the coffee shop we have
00:17:12
nobody uh
00:17:13
seeing
00:17:14
jeannie in the laughlin area
00:17:16
how
00:17:18
the question remained where was jane
00:17:21
between the monday saturday and thursday
00:17:23
when she disappeared
00:17:25
a few weeks later a witness came forward
00:17:27
with a possible answer
00:17:32
a friend of jeans claimed that she saw
00:17:34
the couple 150 miles away from laughlin
00:17:38
they were at a gas station in their
00:17:40
hometown of apple valley the day before
00:17:43
gene was reported missing
00:17:45
the eyewitness remembered the time
00:17:48
because they were enroute to a school
00:17:51
function that would been
00:17:53
only at that time and pinpointed the
00:17:55
time
00:17:57
and date
00:17:58
but al says they were both in laughlin
00:18:01
and there are phone records to prove it
00:18:04
i've provided several people with copies
00:18:07
of my telephone log from call usa
00:18:11
showing that i made a call from laughlin
00:18:14
to the victorville area at a little bit
00:18:16
after three on that day i had another
00:18:19
call
00:18:21
i think it was at 6 59
00:18:24
on that day so you've got
00:18:26
less than four hours and it's physically
00:18:28
impossible
00:18:30
even if all you did was drive from
00:18:32
laughlin and turn around and go back
00:18:34
you can't do it in less than six hours
00:18:38
phone records verify the calls were made
00:18:40
from laughlin on wednesday also al's
00:18:43
bookkeeper told us both he and gene
00:18:45
called from laughlin the same wednesday
00:18:47
evening

the phone

00:19:35
to get her back
00:19:37

00:19:40

00:20:06
psychic powers
00:20:08
two accident victims say yes
00:20:21
can an intense trauma trigger psychic
00:20:23
powers that allow us to see things that

others can't
00:20:28
john holland and elizabeth joyce were
00:20:30
nearly killed in separate car accidents
00:20:33
which they say
00:20:34
left them with strange
00:20:36
psychic gifts
00:20:41
los angeles california
00:20:46
john holland's life is about to change
00:20:49
forever
00:20:52
[Applause]
00:21:06
john was dazed but not seriously injured
00:21:09
and then the following day he began to
00:21:11
feel strange
00:21:13
i started noticing
00:21:15
kind of like electricity building up in
00:21:17
my body like a i don't want to say a
00:21:18
power but it was more like a surge of
00:21:20
energy was building
00:21:23
i just felt that my body had too much
00:21:26
energy in it that's the only way i could
00:21:27
describe it
00:21:29
as a child john was interested in
00:21:31
psychic phenomena but it wasn't until
00:21:33
his accident that he knew he had a gift
00:21:40
at his work he was able to predict a
00:21:42
stranger's birthday
00:21:44
it would just come out of my mouth
00:21:46
straight out and i had to learn how to
00:21:48
stop that
00:21:49
john says his predictions became so
00:21:51
accurate that co-workers became
00:21:53
frightened of him
00:21:55
holland's boss eventually asked that he
00:21:57
stopped making predictions
00:21:59
i'm not out to prove anything okay this
00:22:02
is what happened to me this is what
00:22:04
comes out of me and this is people come
00:22:06
back and confirm
00:22:09
car accidents and other sudden events
00:22:11
that shake up a person's body and of
00:22:13
course the inner body called the aura
00:22:16
have on occasion caused that person to
00:22:18
become psychic there are a number of
00:22:20
cases on record there's also a case of a
00:22:22
man who fell off a ladder and
00:22:24
as a result became a well-known psyche
00:22:29
a few years after his accident
00:22:31
john began seeing clients professionally
00:22:34
he claims his powers intensified and
00:22:37
that he now could communicate with the
00:22:39
dead
00:22:41
a client named adrian who came to see me
00:22:44
and her dad passed away
00:22:46
sadly basically she wanted to know where
00:22:49
is he
00:22:50
what is he doing right now so what
00:22:52
happened her dad came and told me to
00:22:54
tell her to look in a book on the
00:22:56
bookshelves he wants you to be at peace
00:22:58
he described the bookcase he described
00:23:00
the location of a book and he said
00:23:02
and
00:23:04
there's going to be something a message
00:23:06
from your father in this book
00:23:08
and it
00:23:09
was unclear if he meant the book it said
00:23:11
he said no there's a message in it a
00:23:13
piece of paper a message from your
00:23:15
father that will let you know that he's
00:23:16
okay
00:23:18
it took two weeks
00:23:21
finally adrian got the courage to open
00:23:23
the book john was right inside was a
00:23:26
poem written by her father 28 years ago
00:23:32
john believes that if not for the
00:23:34
accident he would never have known that
00:23:36
the note was there
00:23:43
saddle river new jersey
00:23:49
elizabeth joyce and her son jeff
00:23:51
were badly injured in a car accident
00:23:56
elizabeth shielded jeff from the impact
00:23:59
but she suffered massive injuries
00:24:07
on the way to the hospital elizabeth's
00:24:09
heart stopped beating three times
00:24:13
and during those blackouts she says that
00:24:15
she was reunited with dead relatives
00:24:21
on the left was my stepson on the right
00:24:24
was my husband they talked to me with
00:24:26
their mind you have to go back you have
00:24:29
to go back
00:24:32
elizabeth survived the accident without
00:24:35
any permanent physical disabilities but
00:24:37
she was worried about neurological
00:24:39
damage
00:24:40
i started having a tingling sensation
00:24:43
across my shoulders and up my neck and i
00:24:45
started having blackouts
00:24:47
soon after the accident elizabeth began
00:24:50
having the same frightening dream over
00:24:53
and over again it was an explosion
00:24:58
i saw a house i saw a body i saw it go
00:25:00
out the roof i was aware of oil wells i
00:25:03
was aware of a trailer park and a fence
00:25:06
it was so real to me and in my head i
00:25:09
would hear your aunt died
00:25:11
she's in houston texas but elizabeth
00:25:13
didn't have an aunt who lived in houston
00:25:16
after having the dream every night for
00:25:18
three weeks she told her social worker
00:25:20
brenda hayes about it
00:25:23
brenda was amazed because the home
00:25:26
elizabeth was describing was actually
00:25:28
brenda's aunt's home in houston
00:25:32
and there had been an explosion there a
00:25:34
week earlier
00:25:35
[Music]
00:25:38
there was a pipeline explosion on her
00:25:40
property
00:25:42
and they haven't been able to find her
00:25:44
body
00:25:45
or find any remains
00:25:48
to identify what happened to her
00:25:52
i started to explain to her
00:25:54
what the setup was
00:25:56
and she said no wait i'll draw you a
00:25:58
picture
00:25:59
and it's uh white elizabeth drew the
00:26:02
house perfectly she then pointed to a
00:26:04
section of tall grass near an oil wall
00:26:07
where the body of brenda's aunt would be
00:26:09
found
00:26:11
jenny it's brenda
00:26:14
the houston police were called within an
00:26:16
hour they found a body it was brenda's
00:26:19
aunt
00:26:22
this wouldn't be the last time
00:26:23
elizabeth's newly discovered powers
00:26:25
would solve a mystery
00:26:27
when exxon president sydney j riso was
00:26:30
kidnapped from his home in new york
00:26:31
elizabeth joyce had a vision
00:26:34
she called the bullies
00:26:37
i'm not a fan of psychics and i've come
00:26:40
across many many psychics but
00:26:43
in this particular case with elizabeth
00:26:45
joyce i did find her to be very very
00:26:47
accurate
00:26:49
in black and white i saw a blond-haired
00:26:51
woman in a jogging suit running behind
00:26:53
the car falling and screaming for help i
00:26:56
saw the man get out of the car to go
00:26:58
over and help this woman
00:27:01
i saw a man come around from the bushes
00:27:04
i saw him grab this man that had gotten
00:27:07
out of the cadillac and put a gun to his
00:27:08
head and force him into a white van
00:27:12
i knew that it was visso
00:27:16
for six weeks elizabeth talked to the
00:27:18
fbi every day
00:27:20
giving them more information
00:27:23
i said they're putting him in a trunk
00:27:25
and they're taking him
00:27:27
off a main road and they're going to dig
00:27:29
a shallow grave and he said describe it
00:27:31
to me oh i said it's between two pine
00:27:33
trees it's in it's in the narrow space
00:27:35
between two pine trees and it's off a
00:27:37
main road either the garden state
00:27:39
parkway or the new jersey turnpike
00:27:41
the fbi won't comment on elizabeth's
00:27:43
information
00:27:44
however sydney reso's body was found
00:27:47
exactly where she predicted sydney
00:27:50
recess remains we're in a three foot
00:27:52
deep
00:27:53
sandy grave in the depths of the pine
00:27:55
barrels
00:27:57
elizabeth says that her information also
00:28:00
helped catch the killers i don't try to
00:28:02
ever convince anyone
00:28:04
that there is such a thing as psychic
00:28:06
sensitivity i let them find it for
00:28:08
themselves
00:28:10
i'm there to help others if they are
00:28:12
open to being helped if i can reach one
00:28:14
person
00:28:16
that it helps them change their life for
00:28:17
the better and they know
00:28:20
things about themselves more or if they
00:28:22
know that we all go on then i've done my
00:28:24
job
00:28:26
john holland and elizabeth joyce
00:28:28
continue to use their powers to help
00:28:30
others
00:28:31
do they really have psychic abilities
00:28:34

00:31:01
janice was still talking to her mother
00:31:05
larry's next door
00:31:06
i heard a woman's voice yelling janice

the apartment
00:32:08
and disappeared
00:32:12
janice morris was pronounced dead at the
00:32:14

this murder was stupid
00:32:20
i mean ralph or janice neither one knew
00:32:23
larry
00:32:24
they were simply in the wrong place at
00:32:27
the wrong time
00:32:29
geraldine george survived the shooting
00:32:31
but was paralyzed from the waist down
00:32:37
the next day sheriff's deputies
00:32:39
discovered a car
00:32:40
hidden in the bushes at a campsite six
00:32:42
miles out of town
00:32:45
it was registered to larry george
00:32:48
he had been living in the car there was
00:32:50
a lot of clothing in the car we found a
00:32:53
notebook where it appeared that mr
00:32:55
george had been keeping a diary as to
00:32:57
who came and went at his wife's
00:32:59
apartment and camouflaged clothing
00:33:03
i want larry joyce to pay
00:33:06
for what he did
00:33:15
update
00:33:17
after we air this story an unsolved
00:33:19
mysteries viewer claimed to have seen
00:33:21
larry george fishing on the banks of a
00:33:24
river in delaware
00:33:25
two detectives were sent to investigate
00:33:29
this is where we first encountered larry
00:33:31
george at right here we began a
00:33:33
conversation with him about fishing it
00:33:35
was at this time where myself and
00:33:37
detective pinky made eye contact and
00:33:39
identified myself as a police officer
00:33:41
larry at this time a brief struggle
00:33:44
ensued right about here we all three
00:33:46
fell to the ground here
00:33:48
we got back to our feet still struggling
00:33:50
and at that point we just turned and
00:33:52
threw lie into the water
00:33:54
george tried to run
00:33:56
but backup units quickly cornered him
00:33:59
finally he surrendered
00:34:02
at george's campsite police found a
00:34:05
generator a stove a spear gun and a
00:34:08
sawed-off shotgun
00:34:11
he knew he was wanted from her he wasn't
00:34:13
going to be taken alive if he would have
00:34:14
put himself in his hideout and if we had
00:34:16
discovered it he probably would have
00:34:19
gunfire and officers would have been
00:34:21
hurt
00:34:22
seven months after his arrest larry
00:34:25
george was tried and found guilty of
00:34:27
capital murder
00:34:28
he was sentenced to die in the electric
00:34:30
chair

for over two years and we've had no
00:36:04
leads on him gerald watson's arrest was
00:36:06

[Music]
00:36:46
it was a legendary treasure buried in
00:36:48
the montana hills
00:36:50
or so the story goes
00:36:53
in 1863 a crooked sheriff and his gang
00:36:56
went to the gallows refusing to reveal
00:36:58
where they had hidden their stolen gold
00:37:01
it's a tale of murder
00:37:03
money
00:37:04
betrayal
00:37:08
bannock montana
00:37:14
when gold was discovered in alder gulch
00:37:16
montana hundreds of prospectors
00:37:19
descended on the town
00:37:23
riches were being made and people wanted
00:37:26
to get in on them
00:37:27
that's why
00:37:28
there was such a large gang of outlaws
00:37:31
around every mining camp
00:37:33
hey fellas we got company
00:37:45
in the spring of 1863 a group of those
00:37:48
outlaws known as the road agent gang
00:37:50
nearly wiped out the prospectors
00:37:53
it has been said they stole more than a
00:37:55
thousand pounds of gold
00:37:58
henry plummer the town sheriff was also
00:38:01
secretly the leader of the outlaws
00:38:05
henry plummer was an ex-convict
00:38:07
ironically he had just been released
00:38:09
four years earlier from a brand new
00:38:12
california prison
00:38:13
san quentin
00:38:15
henry plummer was a very pleasant
00:38:17
looking individual he was the only man
00:38:20
in bannock practically that always
00:38:22
tipped his hat to a lady when he saw her
00:38:24
on the street well you could call him
00:38:26
the consummate con man of his day
00:38:29
so he was able to con people into
00:38:33
thinking he was a confident man to be
00:38:36
the sheriff
00:38:37
and of course he knew that being a
00:38:39
sheriff
00:38:41
would give him a perfect cover
00:38:45
boys we got a stage leaving bannock in
00:38:47
two days it's full of gold and i want
00:38:49
that stage plumber and his gang targeted
00:38:52
miners trying to transport their gold to
00:38:54
a major railhead
00:39:05
it's estimated that in four months henry
00:39:08
plummer and the road agents killed more
00:39:10
than 120 miners and stole what today
00:39:13
would be six million dollars in gold
00:39:20
finally in december of 1863
00:39:23
the gang went too far
00:39:27
a local rancher found the body and
00:39:29
brought it into town
00:39:34
and that was enough for them they formed
00:39:36
a posse
00:39:38
and during the next six weeks the
00:39:39
vigilantes worked
00:39:41
picking people up giving them a trial
00:39:44
and we know they hanged about 22 men at
00:39:47
least
00:39:49
when the outlaws were caught they
00:39:51
started pointing fingers at each other
00:39:55
[Applause]
00:39:57
one road agent who was about to be
00:39:59
hanged identified henry plummer as the
00:40:02
gang's leader
00:40:03
i want you all to know that
00:40:05
henry's the one that planned all this
00:40:07
he's the one to run all the road
00:40:08
agents he's the man you want
00:40:15
[Applause]
00:40:17
the vigilante posse raced to plummer's
00:40:19
house
00:40:20
[Music]
00:40:28
plummer was marched to a scaffold that
00:40:30
ironically he built himself
00:40:32
but before he was hanged he made an
00:40:34
unusual request give me two hours and a
00:40:37
horse
00:40:39
i'll bring back my weight in gold
00:40:41
he made that mistake once
00:40:46
henry plummer died without telling
00:40:49
anyone where the treasure was buried
00:40:52
immediately after his death prospectors
00:40:55
started searching for plumbers buried
00:40:57
treasure
00:40:58
in the early 1900s two mysterious gold
00:41:01
hunters may have found it
00:41:05
they went into a local store that had a
00:41:08
vault asked if they could leave this box
00:41:10
in there all night
00:41:12
and one of the men stayed there riding
00:41:14
shotgun on the vault
00:41:16
the next morning they disappeared
00:41:19
nobody knew who they were where they
00:41:21
went or what they dug up
00:41:23
even if one box of plumber's gold was
00:41:26
found there's probably a lot more out
00:41:28
there
00:41:30
two local men scott jones and bill
00:41:32
chappie have been hunting for the
00:41:34
treasure for years
00:41:35
they're confident that plumber's gold
00:41:37
still lies buried somewhere in the area
00:41:41
nobody would bury all her eggs in one
00:41:43
basket
00:41:44
so it's understandable that he has it
00:41:45
someplace where he has access to it i
00:41:48
bet there's a thousand pounds or better
00:41:50
in different places maybe from virginia
00:41:52
city to bani
00:41:54
[Music]
00:41:57
perhaps the location of plummer's buried
00:41:59
gold will never be found if it was ever
00:42:03
there
00:42:04
at all
00:42:32
[Music]
00:42:47
you
