00:02:00
Florida on Halloween night or any night
00:02:03
for that matter as a house you might
00:02:05
want to avoid is a very ordinary looking
00:02:08
house but as you probably suspect
00:02:11
appearances deceive
00:02:16
in the fall of 1991 19 year-old Allen
00:02:20
man lived in the house with his parents
00:02:22
Allen worked nights during the day he
00:02:24
was often home alone or so he thought
00:02:29
I had the afternoon off I'd come home
00:02:32
and I guess it was about three o'clock
00:02:36
in the afternoon and I finally gotten
00:02:37
some sleep
00:02:40
[Music]
00:02:47
Allen
00:02:56
wake up Alan
00:03:00
Allen get up
00:03:02
[Music]
00:03:09
the figure turned away from the door
00:03:12
like it was leaving and by the time I
00:03:16
got up and walked three paces to the
00:03:18
door I don't know what happened just
00:03:21
turned the corner and disappeared an
00:03:25
Allen man of Lake Wales Florida began
00:03:27
claiming that he had a ghost in his
00:03:28
bedroom
00:03:29
his Paris poo-pooed the idea that their
00:03:31
house was haunted that was that until
00:03:34
Allen got married and his 16 year old
00:03:36
bride Linda moved into the house
00:03:42
shortly after the wedding Alan's mother
00:03:44
Sandra was watching TV with her new
00:03:46
daughter-in-law
00:03:47
Sandra the skeptic was about to change
00:03:51
her tune I had my little dog Prince
00:03:55
beside me and he was laying on a pillow
00:03:58
[Music]
00:04:04
and I looked down at the end of the
00:04:08
couch and I saw this
00:04:10
white smokey thing and the first thing I
00:04:16
thought was fired by that time the dog
00:04:18
had gotten up on his feet and it just
00:04:20
disappeared Oakland when Prince came
00:04:27
back I said oh prince you know we've got
00:04:31
company you know and this is when Linda
00:04:33
snapped around and and you know you know
00:04:36
like what's going on so you ready to ask
00:04:39
it yes is there a spirit present even
00:04:43
though Alan's bride Linda hadn't seen
00:04:45
the apparition she was convinced the
00:04:47
house was haunted determined to get the
00:04:49
scoop Linda and Alan enlisted a friend
00:04:52
with a Ouija board is it a matter of
00:04:54
woman the board talked were good with me
00:05:01
w it's a woman I believed in it I've
00:05:05
just I've believed in that kind of stuff
00:05:08
for a while but I never come across it
00:05:11
until then what's your name
00:05:18
according to Linda and Alan the board
00:05:20
spelled out the name Kramer that was all
00:05:23
the proof they needed they had a ghost
00:05:25
and her name was Kramer Alan's father
00:05:28
David was having none of it I thought I
00:05:31
was living with a bunch of flakes I
00:05:33
really didn't want to be involved in it
00:05:35
I just kind of fluffed it off and didn't
00:05:38
bother with it and they just I didn't
00:05:41
want to have anything to do with it if
00:05:43
it was if it was a paranormal experience
00:05:45
or something like that I didn't want to
00:05:47
have to worry about I just didn't want
00:05:48
to admit it luckily there was a baseball
00:05:51
game on Channel 9 Linda and Alan knew
00:05:53
there was a ghost they didn't know she
00:05:56
had an ambush plan okay okay
00:06:11
all of a sudden she just snapped and she
00:06:17
got this weird look she pretty much
00:06:20
attacked me
00:06:27
laughing yet some weird laughs I had
00:06:30
never heard you know it didn't even
00:06:32
sound like her she has this squeaky
00:06:34
little giggle and this was a almost an
00:06:39
evil laugh we remarked a few times you
00:06:56
know what's going on and she was holding
00:07:13
me down and normally she can't hold one
00:07:16
hand out of both her arms
00:07:19
that to you I tried to get away and they
00:07:23
made her get more violent and she she
00:07:27
started putting more force on my arms so
00:07:31
I pushed against a wall three times and
00:07:38
she released me and she put her head on
00:07:52
my shoulder again and started talking
00:07:56
and picked up the conversation exactly
00:07:58
where she left off before she snapped I
00:08:02
don't have any memory of what happened
00:08:05
That's not me I don't have an evil laugh
00:08:08
I don't do the things that he says I do
00:08:11
that's just not my type I'm not that
00:08:13
type of person I don't remember
00:08:17
suddenly the anak us ghosts had taken on
00:08:20
a whole new personality difficult to
00:08:22
ignore even David Mann sat up and took
00:08:25
notice the possibilities in my mind were
00:08:28
endless as what might be able to happen
00:08:31
and I really got concerned and so at
00:08:33
that point I said look I'm gonna go get
00:08:34
some help
00:08:35
somebody somewhere can tell me what the
00:08:37
heck is going on a spiritualist told the
00:08:43
man's to pour salt all around the house
00:08:45
a number of snails were sacrificed but
00:08:48
the ghost stayed on a man's kept bags of
00:08:51
salt under their beds and even tried a
00:08:53
homegrown exorcism
00:08:59
I will be done we were gonna do anything
00:09:04
anybody told us to get rid of this stuff
00:09:06
give us this day our daily bread it did
00:09:12
work for a few days it did things calm
00:09:14
down but after that everything came back
00:09:17
stronger than ever every time we tried
00:09:20
something a couple days it would settle
00:09:23
down and then it would be stronger no
00:09:26
there'd be more happenings according to
00:09:30
the man's the house began to smelled a
00:09:32
high heaven
00:09:33
most times like a burned-out motor all
00:09:36
four of the man suffered from bad
00:09:37
headaches some of the rooms took on a
00:09:40
deathly chill and then there were voices
00:09:46
what we heard was like a whole mass of
00:09:50
voices dull
00:09:52
muttering couldn't understand a thing
00:09:54
and one woman voice over the top of them
00:09:58
but yet you could not distinguish
00:10:01
anything they were saying what time 9:30
00:10:07
David and Samba tried to act blase but
00:10:10
the ghost wasn't about to let them off
00:10:12
the hook I stopped her in the middle of
00:10:17
the hall
00:10:18
I caught the smell again Sandra tell
00:10:20
Isabella to leave me alone I do not want
00:10:23
to have anything to do with her nothing
00:10:25
I am sick and tired of the smells the
00:10:27
voices the bells those noises
00:10:29
David David how do you know her name is
00:10:33
Isabella Isabella
00:10:35
and I didn't have any explanation for it
00:10:37
it's like you get an idea little voice
00:10:40
inside your head like your conscience or
00:10:41
whatever it is that little voice that
00:10:43
you listen to and it tells you to do
00:10:46
right and wrong it said you know this is
00:10:50
Isabella honey David and his family
00:10:53
consulted a parapsychologist he
00:10:56
introduced them to a psychic what this
00:10:58
is David Mamet nice to meet you David
00:11:00
I've just been talking with your family
00:11:02
here for a while and I get the sense
00:11:04
that the name of the spirit in your
00:11:05
house is Isabella she talking about that
00:11:10
nobody and I was taken aback and I would
00:11:12
really surprised me and I said Joshua
00:11:14
there's no way that you could know that
00:11:16
the woman in my house is Isabella
00:11:18
there's just no way because there's only
00:11:21
two people in the world at this time
00:11:23
that know that name and that Sandra and
00:11:25
I and we haven't known it that long I've
00:11:28
worked with hundreds of psychics and
00:11:30
been around them and I know what a
00:11:32
psychic is and this thing really
00:11:34
astounded me to see him come up with a
00:11:37
name of that nature I was very impressed
00:11:40
with it
00:11:42
can you come up with a last name I see
00:11:47
the name Kramer he Sabella clean at that
00:11:50
point a light bulb goes off in my head
00:11:52
because I says in my paperwork at home I
00:11:54
got that name Kramer written down it
00:11:57
came from the a Ouija board
00:11:59
the man's were spooked
00:12:02
especially Linda she and Alan decided it
00:12:05
was high time to get out of time are you
00:12:09
almost done over there we had a couple
00:12:12
boxes left and she was defaming the
00:12:16
ghosts cussing it pretty bad evidently
00:12:24
she upset it because writing the mid
00:12:28
sentence of cussing the ghost the light
00:12:31
bulb exploded lasted maybe half a minute
00:12:35
or so
00:12:37
then the ball just fist out and died
00:12:45
[Music]
00:12:51
I upset the ghost very bad she made me
00:12:56
mad I went through a lot when I lived
00:12:58
there and I just wanted to hurt and get
00:13:00
out no one tell her how each other
00:13:02
better before I left one last time
00:13:06
before long word of the man's plight
00:13:09
reached the Center for paranormal
00:13:10
studies of the Silver Springs Florida
00:13:13
armed with a trunk load of electronic
00:13:15
equipment the center's three founders
00:13:17
showed up at the man's house on
00:13:19
September 19th 1992 this is the living
00:13:22
room area where Sandra had as we drove
00:13:28
up to the house I felt sort of an
00:13:30
emptiness inside and as I went into the
00:13:33
house the air seemed to get thicker and
00:13:35
it had an odor and it was uncomfortable
00:13:39
to me the house just looking at it there
00:13:42
it had a presence that was profoundly
00:13:47
unpleasant they're extremely foul smell
00:13:50
I described that my notes as kind of
00:13:54
like rotting flesh it definitely had an
00:14:00
oppressive ambience to it almost a
00:14:03
depressive type of feeling after being
00:14:06
in the house for several hours we all
00:14:08
began to experience headaches northeast
00:14:11
corner of the house bedroom be in Linda
00:14:13
and Ella's old bedroom the
00:14:15
electromagnetic equipment went haywire
00:14:17
as if there'd been a power surge of some
00:14:19
sort
00:14:20
getting some magnetic flux here it's off
00:14:22
the scale you don't normally see this
00:14:24
fluctuation it was very very high so I
00:14:26
thought it would be a good idea to start
00:14:28
taking a series of photographs at that
00:14:29
point
00:14:32
Andrew Nichols took two Polaroid shots
00:14:35
wandering and one after the
00:14:37
electromagnetic flux the second
00:14:40
photograph was normal not so the first I
00:14:44
thought it was just a washed out photo
00:14:47
but over the subsequent minutes and this
00:14:51
image started for me there was a big
00:14:55
humanoid shape in the forefront of the
00:14:58
picture it may be a reflection of some
00:15:02
unusual environmental effect it may be a
00:15:04
strange artifact of the human psyche or
00:15:07
it may be a contact with a dimension of
00:15:10
existence that's beyond our imagination
00:15:12
when I looked at it I knew that that was
00:15:15
what I had seen at the end of the couch
00:15:17
that that was Isabella and I was real
00:15:23
excited about it see that somebody else
00:15:25
could see or two two months later after
00:15:34
a visit from a local minister the
00:15:36
holdings appeared to stop but the man's
00:15:38
had had enough David and Sandra like
00:15:41
Alan and Linda before them he felt that
00:15:43
all things considered they would rather
00:15:45
be elsewhere everybody that has come in
00:15:49
contact with this house have told us
00:15:51
that what they do may or may not be
00:15:56
permanent they don't know nobody knows
00:15:58
and I felt that as a result of what we
00:16:03
had done we might have slowed it down
00:16:05
but I doubt very seriously if we had
00:16:07
stopped
00:16:10
was the house and Lake Way is haunted by
00:16:13
the spirit of someone named Isabella
00:16:15
Kramer
00:16:16
although the rental records as such a
00:16:19
person ever lived in the area
00:16:21
the man's have all the proof they need
00:16:26
in March of 1993 this photograph taken
00:16:30
an Allen man's old bedroom was sent to
00:16:32
Polaroid headquarters in Cambridge
00:16:34
Massachusetts analysts there said the
00:16:37
shape in the foreground had not been
00:16:38
caused by a defect in the film or in the
00:16:41
camera could it be a ghostly image of
00:16:44
Isabella Kramer not surprisingly the
00:16:47
experts have yet to provide an answer
00:16:51
next a woman searches for the childhood
00:16:55
friend who helped her survive the
00:16:56
horrors of World War two
00:17:01
[Music]
00:17:07
World War two the treacherous seas of
00:17:11
the North Atlantic off the coast of
00:17:13
England hundreds of ships were attacked
00:17:16
and sunk by German u-boats
00:17:21
thousands lost their lives and for every
00:17:23
man killed a family was shattered and
00:17:26
changed forever
00:17:28
that was the case for Merchant Marine
00:17:31
William Murphy in December of 1941
00:17:34
Murphy was aboard a supply ship when it
00:17:36
was torpedoed he left behind a wife a
00:17:40
son and three daughters within a month
00:17:45
of her husband's death
00:17:46
Morna Murphy placed her son in a foster
00:17:48
home and took her three daughters to an
00:17:50
orphanage on the outskirts of London st.
00:17:53
Helens convent of mercy this is a D and
00:18:05
this is Philomena and this is mourner
00:18:08
girls just in time to join us
00:18:16
or ad the oldest of the Murphy children
00:18:19
the pain of saying goodbye was
00:18:21
especially difficult don't fret love
00:18:25
I'll see you on Sunday
00:18:28
[Music]
00:18:33
or my mother left I just felt devastated
00:18:36
like suddenly the homeworld had
00:18:39
disappeared and left me in some strange
00:18:41
place that I didn't belong in and that
00:18:44
was the feeling always had that I don't
00:18:46
belong here I'm not an orphan conditions
00:18:51
in the orphanage reflected the bleak
00:18:53
reality of wartime England there was
00:18:55
little food inadequate heating and a
00:18:58
strict code of rules the sisters were
00:19:03
very harsh they had a lot of money girls
00:19:05
to take care of so that you really
00:19:07
didn't get any attention again except
00:19:09
when you did something wrong then you
00:19:10
get a crack over the head or a hit in
00:19:13
the backside or something I especially
00:19:22
remember at night we'd lie and we had a
00:19:25
dormitory with rows of beds and I just
00:19:28
lie there and I would feel these though
00:19:31
tears going down my face and I didn't
00:19:35
know why I was crying
00:19:41
a Dean felt terribly lonely
00:19:46
the isolation was almost unbearable
00:19:48
until another new girl arrived at the
00:19:51
convent Eve Mizell came from a prominent
00:20:01
Jewish family in Austria her father a
00:20:04
musician had been captured by the Nazis
00:20:06
like millions of others he was sent to a
00:20:09
concentration camp or he would
00:20:11
eventually die
00:20:13
Eve's mother had managed to escape to
00:20:15
London but she liked the means to
00:20:17
support a family and Eve was sent to the
00:20:19
orphanage her arrival would change a
00:20:22
Dean's life the first thing I noticed
00:20:29
what about it was that she was in
00:20:30
English and she looked different you
00:20:34
know to me she looked different you know
00:20:35
she had a very dark hair and dark eyes
00:20:38
and she was very bubbly and very funny
00:20:41
and she always had jokes about
00:20:43
everything
00:20:44
we'd make jokes about the nuns and we
00:20:48
just sort of hung out together
00:20:53
the London Blitz was still in full force
00:20:56
every night for months on end the German
00:20:58
air force bombarded the city producing
00:21:01
much of it to rubble most evenings will
00:21:09
be pierced by the shrill sounds of
00:21:11
air-raid sirens the girls in the
00:21:14
orphanage were hustled into a downstairs
00:21:16
shelter to listen and wait it was just
00:21:25
terrifying but she just lived with it
00:21:27
day in day out I think one of the most
00:21:32
terrifying things for both Dave and I
00:21:34
was that we did not know from one week
00:21:36
to another from others were okay we
00:21:41
believed that we would live through the
00:21:42
bombing but at the same time we expected
00:21:45
to die you know when you go to sleep at
00:21:47
night this nuns would say make sure you
00:21:48
say an act of contrition because you may
00:21:50
be dead in the morning you see but of
00:21:53
course even wouldn't say that because
00:21:54
she's Jewish
00:21:55
she doesn't say acts of Patricia she
00:21:56
just considered that total nonsense and
00:21:59
I wondered how she sometimes how she
00:22:00
found the strength without that to keep
00:22:02
going and not be afraid Adina D became
00:22:08
practically inseparable they made an
00:22:11
unwritten pact that they would survive
00:22:12
the war together they also shared a
00:22:18
common dream to one day cross the ocean
00:22:20
to live in America even I didn't have a
00:22:27
concept of what America actually was at
00:22:29
first other than a place where everybody
00:22:31
was happy and there wasn't any war and
00:22:34
everybody have enough to eat
00:22:35
that's the place for us that's where
00:22:38
we're gonna go even I say help me grow
00:22:40
up on you boys there's a war dragged on
00:22:46
hey Dina Neve grew from little girls
00:22:48
into young women
00:22:50
the conflict finally ended they returned
00:22:52
to their families but remained as close
00:22:54
as ever they attended the same high
00:22:56
school and took the same classes by the
00:22:59
time they graduated a Dean and Eve had
00:23:01
spent half their lives together shortly
00:23:06
after graduation Aidan's childhood dream
00:23:08
came true
00:23:09
relatives offered to pay her way to
00:23:12
America tomorrow
00:23:14
I told Eve about it and she was very
00:23:18
abrupt almost not oh that's great or
00:23:21
anything she sort of pulled back not
00:23:24
like her usual self you have a fabulous
00:23:26
time I'll write you tell you it's like
00:23:30
yeah just do a year or so and then
00:23:32
you'll be there oh yeah what be long and
00:23:36
I I was young I was like 17 so I didn't
00:23:39
understand I think how hurt she was
00:23:42
goodbye because we had planned to go
00:23:46
together
00:23:47
[Music]
00:23:58
and I didn't understand too well myself
00:24:01
at the time because I was so excited
00:24:03
just to be going and I never thought of
00:24:07
it as final I never thought that would
00:24:09
be the last time I'd see her because
00:24:11
we've been so close for so long life in
00:24:15
America was everything a Dean had hoped
00:24:17
for
00:24:18
she and Eve exchanged monthly letters
00:24:20
for more than a year both of them fell
00:24:23
in love and married however in the end
00:24:26
time and distance pulled the two friends
00:24:29
apart but a Dean never forgot a Dean
00:24:35
hopes that she and her long-lost friend
00:24:36
will one day be reunited here in America
00:24:39
the land they dreamed of so many years
00:24:42
ago it feels like she's a part of me
00:24:46
that I've carried around all these years
00:24:47
I just want to see her she's in my
00:24:51
dreams all the time I just remember her
00:24:54
remember eyes pretty they were and her
00:24:57
voice and just as she was there for me
00:25:01
you know when I when I needed someone
00:25:04
[Music]
00:25:14
next a small town is outraged by the
00:25:17
death of the young schoolteacher
00:25:19
[Music]
00:25:30
Aguila massachusetts near the western
00:25:33
Connecticut border is a small town and
00:25:35
the people who live here like it that
00:25:38
way
00:25:39
in 1989 Agawam voted overwhelmingly not
00:25:43
to be known as a city but to remain
00:25:45
simply a town a place where neighbors
00:25:48
are friends and friends are family
00:25:52
the Theia girl or middle school under a
00:25:54
dogwood tree in the courtyard there is a
00:25:56
memorial to one of the town's most
00:25:58
beloved daughters Lisa's eager whose
00:26:01
untimely death changed Agawam forever
00:26:05
Lisa was a very special person she was
00:26:09
bubbly outgoing full of fun kids she
00:26:14
always had a special report they knew
00:26:18
that she really liked them I mean it and
00:26:21
that she treated them like people now
00:26:24
this happens to be a model of an apple
00:26:27
blossom Lisa's eager had grown up in
00:26:29
Agawam after college she returned home
00:26:32
to teach special-needs students at the
00:26:34
middle school and this would become an
00:26:37
apple I think of Lisa as a gifted
00:26:40
teacher the gifted teacher the one into
00:26:43
whose eyes of that trial can look and
00:26:45
see a reflection of value and you can't
00:26:48
fake it you either have it are you
00:26:50
knowing it's a gift and I think Lisa had
00:26:53
it well what would you do if it was all
00:26:56
black in your house internal noise
00:26:58
that's a good idea is that light switch
00:27:00
there anywhere yeah if you had a problem
00:27:03
she tried to help you solve it and she
00:27:05
would never yell at you should always
00:27:07
try to figure out what the problem is in
00:27:09
a nice way
00:27:10
if you had a question she'd answer it um
00:27:13
she was like the best teacher out of the
00:27:17
whole school on Wednesday April 15th
00:27:24
1992 Lisa left school around 4:30 she
00:27:28
drove directly to a Cardin gift shop
00:27:30
where she worked weekdays from 5 to 9
00:27:32
p.m. at 5:30 Lisa's sister dropped by
00:27:36
Ann's gonna love that picture you think
00:27:39
oh yeah she likes everything you do are
00:27:42
you gonna frame this one Lisa was
00:27:43
working on a sketch for my best friend
00:27:45
this one seriously I know who that is it
00:27:49
was easy talk it was sister talk it was
00:27:53
a little after 6 o'clock when I left
00:27:56
when I went home and she was fine with
00:27:59
it you know she was fine when I left
00:28:04
the next morning at 8:45 sophia maynard
00:28:07
arrived as usual to open up the store
00:28:09
she was surprised Lisa was there on a
00:28:11
school day I saw her car the lights were
00:28:16
on in the store the open flag was out
00:28:18
and it was strange
00:28:20
I couldn't imagine why I should be there
00:28:23
and then I remembered that it was Easter
00:28:25
weekend coming up and we had planned to
00:28:27
stuff some balloons and that's what she
00:28:29
was doing there so I I really didn't
00:28:32
think much of anything until I walked
00:28:35
inside the store you know Lisa lays out
00:28:41
her name a couple of times and she
00:28:42
didn't you know I figured she'd just pop
00:28:44
her head out she didn't
00:28:45
I came behind the counter all of her
00:28:50
things were there her drawings and her
00:28:52
pocketbook or car keys and then I just
00:28:56
kind of freaked out I knew that
00:29:00
something was wrong so I ran out ran
00:29:03
across the street to the restaurant
00:29:04
across the street and asked them to call
00:29:07
the police
00:29:08
[Music]
00:29:10
watch your step in here police found
00:29:12
signs of a struggle in the backstory and
00:29:15
a few scattered traces of blood leads
00:29:17
otherwise there was no physical evidence
00:29:19
at the card shot that very day the
00:29:23
Agawam Police Department aided by the
00:29:25
FBI and the Massachusetts State Police
00:29:28
launched a massive search wait to hear
00:29:32
something good but at that point you
00:29:35
start feeling that you know possibly it
00:29:38
isn't gonna be a good answer to what's
00:29:41
going on
00:29:42
I couldn't let myself believe that
00:29:47
everything wasn't gonna be all kidding
00:29:49
that she would be found and no matter
00:29:53
what had happened they would be able to
00:29:57
have her back on Easter Sunday
00:30:02
four days after Lisa disappeared her
00:30:05
body was found in a wooded area on the
00:30:07
edge of town she had multiple knife
00:30:11
wounds around her shoulders and throat
00:30:14
and later on an examination by the
00:30:18
county medical examiner indicated that
00:30:21
she had been sexually assaulted
00:30:23
[Music]
00:30:26
never before in the history of a Gabon
00:30:28
had there been such an outpouring of
00:30:30
love such shared grief at least as
00:30:33
egrets wake more than a thousand people
00:30:36
stood for five hours in a spring rain to
00:30:38
pay her tribute
00:30:42
it was just beyond of anything I ever
00:30:45
experienced it just ensured us what kind
00:30:49
of a person ELISA was we're not a
00:30:53
political family or anything so there
00:30:56
would be no reason they would come out
00:30:57
for us it was for her I miss the way she
00:31:01
teaches and the way she was such a
00:31:05
friend to everyone and I wish there were
00:31:11
more people you rode that would wake her
00:31:15
as I go on board the authorities pressed
00:31:18
their investigation three critical phone
00:31:21
tips came in which helped establish a
00:31:23
time frame the first call was from a
00:31:27
person who had been in the store at 8:20
00:31:29
it had made a purchase and actually had
00:31:31
a time-stamped receipt excuse me the
00:31:35
price on this it should be marked there
00:31:37
was nothing that was unusual there was
00:31:39
nothing that was out of line nothing
00:31:41
that perked their attention to say that
00:31:44
they should call the police
00:31:46
the second person was a customer the
00:31:49
store who had gone in at nine o'clock
00:31:51
is anybody here she found it open lights
00:31:54
on but nobody was around this person
00:32:00
told us that they did hear some noise in
00:32:02
the back room she described it as a
00:32:06
banging noise she waited a minute and
00:32:09
nobody came out so she left
00:32:12
this suggested to us that Lisa was in
00:32:15
the store and around nine o'clock and in
00:32:17
the back room further investigation
00:32:20
revealed that she had been horizontal on
00:32:23
the floor and there were two kick marks
00:32:25
from her shoes on the bottom of the door
00:32:30
the third tip came from a woman who
00:32:33
worked near the card shop at 9:15 on the
00:32:36
night Lisa was murdered the woman was on
00:32:38
her way home she was stopped at the stop
00:32:42
sign at the intersection of Route 75 and
00:32:44
Adams Street and while stopped at that
00:32:47
intersection she observed a Bronco or
00:32:50
blazer type vehicle full-size pull off
00:32:53
the road into a piece of property that
00:32:56
led into the area where Lisa's Egrets
00:32:58
body was found she said that there was
00:33:01
an operator in the front and in the
00:33:03
backseat she believed there was two
00:33:05
people one male and one female and she
00:33:08
saw the person whom she believed to be
00:33:10
the female see her head go up and down a
00:33:12
couple of times as the vehicle drove off
00:33:14
into the woods
00:33:16
[Music]
00:33:17
at the time the woman thought it was
00:33:20
just a carload of teenagers she drove on
00:33:23
there have been no further clues
00:33:30
today the students at Agawam middle
00:33:32
school cherished the memorial the
00:33:34
established in honor of Lisa's eager to
00:33:36
who had her own brief life touched so
00:33:38
many of their lives I think children
00:33:42
always feel that nothing can happen to
00:33:44
them and when something happens to
00:33:47
someone that so many of them know it
00:33:48
brought it home life isn't always fair
00:33:52
and that you have to be extra careful
00:33:55
and even sometimes when you're extra
00:33:56
careful don't matter
00:33:59
this cannot go unpunished
00:34:03
it can't be something where this person
00:34:06
gets away and the children have got to
00:34:08
know this if it's important for us it's
00:34:11
even more important for them
00:34:14
[Music]
00:34:18
there is a reward for information
00:34:20
leading to the arrest and conviction of
00:34:22
Lisa's eager killer or killers police
00:34:25
have taken plaster molds of tire tracks
00:34:27
left at the murder scene the vehicles
00:34:30
cited by the witness was a late-model
00:34:31
full-size Bronco or blazer either dark
00:34:34
red or dark blue
00:34:44
[Music]
00:34:50
[Music]
00:34:54
when we return a heartwarming reunion
00:34:57
and police need your help to find an
00:35:00
unknown gunman December 7th 1941 the
00:35:12
United States was plunged at a world war
00:35:14
two among the millions of Americans
00:35:16
eager to enlist was 30 year-old Harry
00:35:19
young and Philadelphia Pennsylvania I
00:35:21
can't stay here while there's a war
00:35:22
going on I need you to sign this paper
00:35:24
Harry I think it's a terrible idea for
00:35:26
you to leave right now I need you
00:35:29
because he had a family to support
00:35:32
Harry needed his wife's permission in
00:35:34
order to enlist two years I'll be back
00:35:37
sign the paper
00:35:42
Harry young walked out on his wife Laura
00:35:45
never to return he had no idea that she
00:35:49
was then pregnant with her second son
00:35:51
later Laura would learn that Harry had
00:35:54
enlisted in the army using forged
00:35:56
documents and was serving overseas on
00:36:02
October 24th 1943 Laurie Young received
00:36:05
the news every soldier's wife fears her
00:36:09
husband had been killed in action 37
00:36:14
years later
00:36:15
Harry's oldest son Albert was
00:36:17
researching the family tree when he
00:36:19
found a newspaper article about his
00:36:21
father's death incredibly the obituary
00:36:24
made mention of a daughter but not of
00:36:27
Albert or his brother Jim well first I
00:36:30
thought that the paper made a mistake
00:36:32
which wasn't common you know papers do
00:36:34
make mistakes and I thought maybe today
00:36:36
had got the information wrong
00:36:40
I had a copy made so I could go into a
00:36:42
trailer Albert was shocked to discover
00:36:45
that after Harry walked out on his Mary
00:36:47
she had become involved with another
00:36:49
woman they had a daughter Kathleen Mary
00:36:52
young born while Harry was overseas look
00:36:56
we can do just after Harry's death the
00:36:58
woman had taken Kathleen to Harry's
00:37:00
parents but they wanted nothing to do
00:37:02
with either of them I have some of
00:37:04
Harry's things would you like me to
00:37:06
bring them over to you
00:37:07
no just send them
00:37:11
[Music]
00:37:14
Cathleen Mary young grew up knowing next
00:37:16
to nothing about her two half-brothers
00:37:18
Albert and Jim until the night of our
00:37:21
broadcast that evening
00:37:25
Kathleen couldn't have been more
00:37:27
surprised when she heard her name on
00:37:28
television by the next morning she had
00:37:31
talked to both Albert and Jim Kathleen
00:37:34
had heard that Harry's parents rejected
00:37:35
her mother and she knew about one of her
00:37:37
brothers but she never imagined that
00:37:40
anyone was looking for her it makes me
00:37:43
feel I don't know it makes me feel good
00:37:45
it makes me feel like special in a way
00:37:47
that they took the time and all those
00:37:49
years that now that I know they were
00:37:50
looking for me September 19th 1993 the
00:37:56
long separation came to an end when
00:37:58
Kathleen young accompanied by her family
00:38:01
came to Stratford New Jersey to meet her
00:38:03
half-brothers for the first time
00:38:05
[Music]
00:38:09

00:39:58
extra set of stereo speakers for his
00:40:00
girlfriend's sister I'm looking at
00:40:07
underneath the bench some boxes for
00:40:09

was in my living room watching
00:40:54
television and I heard an engine revving
00:40:57
on the street which is unusual at that
00:41:00
time of night and I got up to look out
00:41:02
the window and there were shots fired
00:41:06
[Music]
00:41:10
I don't know what's going on all I
00:41:11
remember is that I'm falling backwards
00:41:14
and for some reason I know I'm not gonna
00:41:16
be able to get back up I have no idea I
00:41:18
don't the only thing I don't hear
00:41:19

00:41:24
I lost my memory I don't remember what
00:41:25
happened then
00:41:26
[Music]
00:41:30
I immediately went onto the front of my
