Mike and Mary Beth hammered of Redmond
00:02:30
Washington had it all they were
00:02:32
inseparable soulmates
00:02:34
they were all so prosperous partners in
00:02:37
the competitive world of Seattle area
00:02:38
real estate few couples shared a bomb so
00:02:44
intimate the realtor the Year award goes
00:02:46
to Windemere's top salesman and my
00:02:49
husband Mike Emmert Mike and I had a
00:02:59
terrific relationship we were not only
00:03:03
husband and wife but each other's best
00:03:05
friends and we were always always on the
00:03:09
phone with each other he was either
00:03:11
calling me in her office or calling me
00:03:14
on the cell phone or something just
00:03:17
enjoyed each other's company we were
00:03:19
just very close On January 4 2001 their
00:03:24
dream life together would be shattered
00:03:28
Mary Beth received a heartbreaking call
00:03:31
from her mother Mike had been murdered
00:03:34
what the realization that he was gone
00:03:44
started to sink in still while I was on
00:03:48
the telephone with my mom but still
00:03:50
still hoping that you know maybe he was
00:03:54
alive and then maybe they were wrong you
00:03:57
know maybe it wasn't Mike and I think it
00:03:59
was just shock and disbelief
00:04:04
my cameras murder was as mysterious as
00:04:07
it was shocking it appeared to be
00:04:09
carefully planned and meticulously
00:04:11
executed but why would anyone plot to
00:04:14
kill an unassuming realtor with an
00:04:16
exemplary past
00:04:17
Mike Skinner left behind few clues but
00:04:21
enough to make investigators believe he
00:04:23
may have used the most unusual weapon
00:04:25
perhaps you can help solve this
00:04:28
perplexing crime hey mayor Bethany how
00:04:32
are ya hi honey just go over some
00:04:36
paperwork on the day he was murdered
00:04:40
Mike wrote in his datebook that he was
00:04:42
to meet a prospective home buyers name
00:04:44
Steven he told Mary Beth that he had
00:04:47
shown Steven houses the previous day
00:04:52
according to Mary Beth Mike said he
00:04:54
planned a meet Steven at 11:30 at a
00:04:57
local mall he told her the Steven was in
00:05:01
his 50s limped and carried a cane he
00:05:05
added this Stephen was relocating from
00:05:08
Northern California and that he spoke
00:05:10
with an East Coast accent
00:05:18
Stephen was keenly interested in looking
00:05:21
at one home in the affluent suburb of
00:05:23
Woodinville it was a house Mike had
00:05:26
shown him the previous day the house was
00:05:31
on a large private lot distance from
00:05:33
other homes in the neighborhood
00:05:41
you were here yesterday so just you know
00:05:44
help yourself do anything I'll be
00:05:47
upstairs I'm gonna stop by my house and
00:05:58
grab something to eat at 12:30 p.m. the
00:06:02
owner of the house Gail garland returned
00:06:04
from her job to spend her lunch hour at
00:06:06
home she entered through the garage and
00:06:11
was alarmed to find the front door ajar
00:06:16
just as disturbing was a sound of water
00:06:19
running upstairs
00:06:24
a trail of blood still went led toward
00:06:28
the bathroom mic Emmert was dead only
00:06:37
minutes earlier he had been stabbed 19
00:06:39
times the murder took place in this room
00:06:47
and once the victim was incapacitated
00:06:50
he's obviously dragged down the hallway
00:06:52
into the bathroom
00:06:54
investigators surmise a Steven the
00:06:56
prospective home buyer had committed the
00:06:58
brutal murder they also believed he may
00:07:01
have killed Mike in this house precisely
00:07:03
because it was isolated from most other
00:07:05
homes in the neighborhood it appears
00:07:08
that he may have reconnoitered and
00:07:10
actually singled out this home as the
00:07:14
best place to assault Mike now that
00:07:17
suggests some sophisticated criminal
00:07:19
thinking going on if the mysterious
00:07:22
Steven had methodically planned Mike's
00:07:24
murder it was also possible that his
00:07:27
handicap was merely a ruse investigators
00:07:30
believe this would explain how a man in
00:07:32
need of a cane was able to overpower
00:07:35
Mike I think it's possible that the
00:07:38
weapon was this cane and I'm not beyond
00:07:42
believing that the cane might have been
00:07:44
one of these sword kings or King the
00:07:46
knife in it so maybe the initial blitz
00:07:51
assault to stun Mike was striking my
00:07:54
McCain from behind but the knife portion
00:08:01
of the cane was used to kill Mike
00:08:05
mic was so nearly six feet tall we had
00:08:08
187 pounds I think we have an offender
00:08:11
here that was able to overcome a man mic
00:08:13
stature and then drag his body
00:08:15
perhaps about 18 feet from one room to
00:08:17
where he came to rest the water in the
00:08:22
showers turned on and the two faucets
00:08:26
and the in the vanity sinks were found
00:08:28
running that to me speaks of an attempt
00:08:31
to get rid of in trace evidence hair
00:08:35
fibers things like that washed down the
00:08:37
drain he's cleaning his hands off and
00:08:39
sink then he weapon off in the sink this
00:08:43
was probably not this individuals first
00:08:46
murder or certainly not his first
00:08:49
violent assault
00:08:52
Mike's expensive watch and diamond ring
00:08:55
were not found on his body but
00:08:58
investigators feel certain that robbery
00:08:59
was not the killer's motive they also
00:09:03
strongly suspect that the meticulously
00:09:05
executed murder could have been the work
00:09:07
of a professional hitman but who would
00:09:10
have hired the mysterious Steven to kill
00:09:13
Mike Emmett did he mention anything
00:09:16
about a description of his man or any
00:09:18
characteristics might be able to tell me
00:09:19
investigators explored the possibility
00:09:22
that Mike's wife Mary Beth may have been
00:09:24
involved but they eliminated her as a
00:09:28
suspect
00:09:30
they also wondered if any rival Realtors
00:09:34
may have wanted to have Mike killed but
00:09:36
their investigation eliminated that
00:09:38
possibility as well an exhaustive probe
00:09:43
of Mike's background revealed that he
00:09:45
had never committed a serious
00:09:46
indiscretion or made any enemies while
00:09:49
conducting hundreds of interviews on
00:09:51
people even going back 10 years ago and
00:09:54
a prior business that he was involved in
00:09:56
we have not interviewed anybody that can
00:10:00
establish why somebody would want to
00:10:02
have Mike Emery killed I've thought over
00:10:05
and over and over again wracked my brain
00:10:08
trying to come up with some reason why
00:10:11
somebody would want to harm
00:10:13
and there is nothing that I can come up
00:10:18
with that would have this make any sense
00:10:22
he was a great friend he was a great
00:10:25
husband the effects of losing Mike have
00:10:29
just left a huge hole in my heart and
00:10:34
it's just so hard to come to grips with
00:10:39

31 year old Holly Crewson lies comatose
00:11:07
in a hospital bed possibly the victim of
00:11:10
a car accident her location is a mystery
00:11:13
how she got there is also unknown these
00:11:18
are not images from a real situation but
00:11:21
are the images from the mind of a
00:11:22
psychic
00:11:23
however these visions may hold the key
00:11:26
to unlocking a mystery that is haunted
00:11:28
Holly's mother for seven years
00:11:30
[Music]
00:11:34
howdy cruson disappeared from La Mesa
00:11:36
California during the spring of 1995
00:11:39
despite her mother Gwen's exhaustive
00:11:41
efforts to find her what happened to
00:11:43
Holly her current whereabouts remains a
00:11:46
mystery but several recent events
00:11:48
including a psychics eerie vision and a
00:11:50
mysterious phone call make one believe
00:11:52
Holly is alive and that she will see her
00:11:55
again
00:11:57
[Music]
00:11:59
Holle crusin was born and raised in La
00:12:01
Mesa California
00:12:04
from a very young age Holley dreamt of
00:12:07
one day being discovered and becoming a
00:12:09
movie star she started into beauty
00:12:13
pageants and she loved the attention and
00:12:16
the beautiful dresses and we kind of put
00:12:19
her on a pedestal
00:12:21
[Music]
00:12:24
and then we started her in dancing when
00:12:26
she was three and she liked it she was
00:12:29
always real outgoing but Holly seemingly
00:12:38
happy young life would soon begin a
00:12:39
downward spiral
00:12:42
Holly's mother says when she was 11
00:12:44
Holly was molested by a trusted family
00:12:46
friend and within a few years her
00:12:50
parents divorced and then when she got
00:12:53
into her middle teens I think she
00:12:56
started hanging around with the wrong
00:12:58
crowd and kind of lost interest in the
00:13:00
dancing and the pageants and wanted to
00:13:03
be grown up eventually Holly dropped out
00:13:10
of school and began working as a
00:13:12
waitress exactly just one of the
00:13:16
customers she was living with a man with
00:13:20
whom she had an apparently abusive
00:13:21
relationship in fact he was arrested on
00:13:25
several occasions for allegedly
00:13:27
assaulting her I'm not gonna do it again
00:13:33
I promise please but each time you'd
00:13:39
sweet-talk his way back into Holly's
00:13:41
life pulling her away from the security
00:13:43
of her mother's home for weeks at a time
00:13:47
Gwen would only see Holly sporadically
00:13:50
she recalls a particular day in February
00:13:53
1995 when her daughter stopped by her
00:13:55
print shop I'm just gonna go upstairs
00:14:00
and grab a few things I'll be back in a
00:14:01
sec everything okay yes
00:14:04
Gwen cruson had no way of knowing that
00:14:06
it would be the last time she would see
00:14:08
her daughter
00:14:08
[Music]
00:14:12
hi Christy this is Gwen Holly's mother
00:14:16
hi
00:14:17
uh have you seen Holly around uh over
00:14:22
the next several weeks when Gwen tried
00:14:24
to contact Holly she couldn't find her
00:14:27
and I panicked and I called all of her
00:14:31
friends they hadn't seen her Gwen
00:14:35
notified the La Mesa Police Department
00:14:37
about Holly's apparent disappearance the
00:14:41
patrol division took the initial report
00:14:43
and they'd really didn't do much because
00:14:46
to be an adult it's not a crime to be
00:14:47
missing or it's it's it's not a really a
00:14:50
big problem because there was no
00:14:51
suspicious circumstances at the time two
00:14:55
years later with Holly Crewson still
00:14:57
unaccounted for the police took a closer
00:14:59
look at her boyfriends criminal past
00:15:03
because the boyfriend was arrested at
00:15:06
least three different times for domestic
00:15:08
violence with Holly detectives from
00:15:10
amazed Police Department polygraphed her
00:15:13
boyfriend and it appeared at the time
00:15:15
that he had no involvement in her
00:15:17
disappearance
00:15:20
on Holly's 30th birthday the San Diego
00:15:23
media publicized the story of Gwen's
00:15:25
determined search for her daughter the
00:15:29
story attracted the attention of a local
00:15:30
psychic who said she immediately began
00:15:33
receiving images of Holly well I started
00:15:36
to get little flashes like short little
00:15:39
images is how I receive a lot of my
00:15:42
psychic information and my first
00:15:49
impression was seeing her in a hospital
00:15:53
bed so I knew right off that I wanted to
00:15:58
contact this this mother who was
00:16:00
obviously missing her daughter something
00:16:03
fierce and I saw Holly in a hospital bed
00:16:08
when they met Joyce told Glen that Holly
00:16:11
had left California to flee an abusive
00:16:13
situation she perhaps was either driving
00:16:17
drunk or she was in a car that was being
00:16:19
driven by a drunk driver and she what I
00:16:23
feeling was that there was a car
00:16:25
accident and she was soon as somewhat
00:16:28
semi-comatose condition as i sat there I
00:16:34
was starting to feel some other things
00:16:39
I told her first of all that I saw Holly
00:16:41
in a hospital again in a extended care
00:16:47
facility the name marymount came to me
00:16:52
Joyce believe Marymount might be the
00:16:54
name of a hospital where Holly had
00:16:56
received care the names of the town's
00:16:59
Marysville and Kenwood also came to her
00:17:01
but she was unable to make any further
00:17:04
connections three months later when
00:17:13
received a phone call that would change
00:17:14
her life hello Holly
00:17:21
I hear this weak little voice say Holly
00:17:24
hi mama and I didn't hear anything and I
00:17:28
said who is this and the voice said
00:17:32
Holly kind of strained like she was
00:17:36
crying and I said Holly is that you are
00:17:40
you still there Holly Gwen had a tape
00:17:44
recorder handy and I was able to record
00:17:46
a portion of the telephone call
00:17:51
[Music]
00:18:09
[Music]
00:18:24
and then president disconnected but I
00:18:29
know I know it was her
00:18:31
I mean mothers know these things with a
00:18:35
new possibility that Holly was in Ohio
00:18:36
when Crewson tackled the information the
00:18:39
psychic had provided I got my Atlas out
00:18:44
and I found Marysville there's a
00:18:46
Marysville there there's a Marymount
00:18:47
Hospital and it's right on the map
00:18:49
yes hello I am looking for my daughter
00:18:53
her name is Holly cruson however when
00:18:56
Gwen contacted the hospital a nearby
00:18:58
police departments she ran into
00:19:00
roadblocks she had met before
00:19:02
because Holly was over 21 even if she
00:19:05
been treated in the area her records
00:19:08
could not be released but there would be
00:19:10
one more intriguing new lead that could
00:19:13
prove instrumental in finding Holly
00:19:16
recently while trying to locate Holly's
00:19:18
old boyfriend detective Vincent Brown
00:19:20
uncovered new information the owner of
00:19:24
the pines Anita campground 50 miles east
00:19:26
of La Mesa vividly recalls seeing Holly
00:19:29
there in 1995 a few months after she was
00:19:32
believed to have disappeared
00:19:35
Holly Cruz and her boyfriend and one
00:19:37
other person last name of Humby we're up
00:19:40
at a campground in Julian California
00:19:41
throughout the weekend
00:19:43
Holly's boyfriend creating trouble
00:19:46
drinking too much it sounded like
00:19:48
courageous Korean general disturbance
00:19:50
you guys talk about loaded up when they
00:19:53
were finally asked to leave as they left
00:19:54
the campground the boyfriend pointed a
00:19:56
gun at the owner and threatened to come
00:19:58
back and shoot him because he there
00:20:00
being kicked out of the park police are
00:20:07
interested in speaking with a man
00:20:08
accompanying Holly and her boyfriend who
00:20:10
went by the name of Humby in 1995 he was
00:20:14
believed to be in his early to mid
00:20:15
twenties this individual may have
00:20:19
information regarding Holly's
00:20:21
disappearance or what really happened to
00:20:23
her
00:20:25
Gwen has been revitalized by the new
00:20:28
leads that have surfaced but she
00:20:29
continues to be haunted by unanswered
00:20:31
questions where was Holly when she made
00:20:35
the mysterious phone call and what could
00:20:38
be preventing her from calling back now
00:20:41
Gwen will not rest until she finds Holly
00:20:44
or learns her fate if I gave up hope you
00:20:48
know whoever took her killed her or is
00:20:52
holding her captive or whatever the case
00:20:55
may be they have one and they're not
00:20:58
gonna win as long as I'm alive I'm gonna
00:21:00
keep looking for my daughter
00:21:11
[Music]
00:21:19
in the fall of 1977 when Cece clapper
00:21:23
was a young mother of 26 she experienced
00:21:26
an amazing event that would change her
00:21:28
life forever while driving to a friend's
00:21:33
home her daughter Dee suddenly became
00:21:35
extremely agitated dee started crying
00:21:38
uncontrollably I went through the
00:21:42
intersection I pulled over to see what
00:21:43
was wrong and I said what what is it it
00:21:48
she goes Oh mummy you have to be so
00:21:50
careful here this is such a dangerous
00:21:52
place people get really hurt here and I
00:21:56
was just flabbergasted I don't know why
00:21:58
she could be so upset later that day
00:22:01
Cece told her relative about the
00:22:03
incident she was astounded to learn that
00:22:06
her grandmother Oh Celia was nearly
00:22:09
killed at the exact same intersection 17
00:22:11
years earlier
00:22:16
incredibly d seem to be remembering that
00:22:19
accident but how was that possible Oh
00:22:22
Celia died seven years before Dee was
00:22:25
born
00:22:28
see see Clippers convinced that her
00:22:30
daughter D is a reincarnation of her
00:22:32
grandmother or Celia but is a simply
00:22:35
wishful thinking or is it really
00:22:37
possible for the dead to come back to
00:22:39
life a landmark study of reincarnation
00:22:42
is currently underway at the University
00:22:44
of Virginia where researchers are
00:22:46
raising controversial questions about
00:22:48
what really happens to us when we die
00:22:50
and the most astonishing cases involve
00:22:53
young children who seem to have the
00:22:55
memories of long departed relatives a
00:22:59
Celia Davidson was born on May 4th 1893
00:23:03
and passed away 73 years later in 1966 d
00:23:08
Klepper was born on December 19th 1973
00:23:11
at first she appeared to be a perfectly
00:23:14
ordinary child
00:23:15
but soon D began acting as if she was in
00:23:18
fact her great-grandmother Oh Celia the
00:23:23
first extraordinary occurrence happened
00:23:25
during a trip to the grocery store we
00:23:29
were in the grocery store and there was
00:23:31
an older woman who came over and decent
00:23:38
mommy this is my friend in fact the
00:23:42
woman was a friend but not of DS C she
00:23:46
discovered that the woman had been a
00:23:47
neighbor of a serious for 30 years
00:23:50
before that day D had never set eyes on
00:23:53
her and had no way of knowing who she
00:23:55
was
00:23:56
two months later D made a second
00:23:59
mysterious statement about her
00:24:00
great-grandmother's past life while at a
00:24:02
restaurant we walk into the restaurant
00:24:05
and she goes mommy there's Helen and
00:24:09
this older waitress comes over how did
00:24:13
you know my name and before I could say
00:24:16
anything my daughter piped up and said
00:24:17
because I used to come here when I was
00:24:19
big and this waitress I cannot describe
00:24:24
the look on her face or how she was
00:24:27
really flustered D had never been to the
00:24:30
restaurant before but her
00:24:32
great-grandmother Oh Celia was a regular
00:24:34
I asked his waitress how long she had
00:24:38
worked there and she said she had been a
00:24:40
waitress
00:24:40
for about 20 years so she definitely
00:24:42
would have been there at a time when my
00:24:44
grandmother came and since my
00:24:46
grandmother went on a weekly basis it's
00:24:48
quite likely my grandmother did know her
00:24:50
pretty well
00:24:52
this seemed pretty strange that my
00:24:55
daughter has seemed to have memories
00:24:57
from my grandmother's life and to me
00:25:03
reincarnation was really the only thing
00:25:05
that could explain that in the typical
00:25:08
case a child at a young age 2 or 3
00:25:11
describes having lived before and will
00:25:15
continue to talk about this until he or
00:25:17
she gets to be 7 or 8 the child may give
00:25:21
enough statements about the trio's life
00:25:23
that a person who died that matches that
00:25:27
description can then be found
00:25:29
CiCi's case is not unique I have other
00:25:33
cases like hers and they all seem to fit
00:25:35
the same general patterns the age of the
00:25:38
child and how the relatives come to
00:25:42
realize that this is a reincarnated
00:25:44
relative on December 3rd 1995 Ron Ortega
00:25:50
and his wife welcomed into the world a
00:25:51
baby boy they named Gus the family had
00:25:54
no prior belief in reincarnation then
00:25:57
Gus began to speak and Ron's entire view
00:26:00
of reality was abruptly thrown into
00:26:02
question I was changing his diaper when
00:26:06
he was about 1 and a half and he
00:26:08
abruptly just said you know when I was
00:26:12
your age I used to change your diapers
00:26:14
and that kind of threw me for a loop I
00:26:17
kind of stopped to look back and I said
00:26:20
well what a weird thing to say
00:26:23
as Gus grew older he continued to make
00:26:26
puzzling references often talking as if
00:26:28
he were an adult
00:26:30
one day when Ron showed Gus some old
00:26:32
family photos his son's reaction was
00:26:35
mind-boggling one of the photos was a
00:26:39
class photo of my father when he was
00:26:41
about 10 with about maybe 15 or 20 other
00:26:44
kids that's me
00:26:52
Gus was pointing to his grandfather
00:26:54
Auguste Ortega a man he had never seen
00:26:57
before in his life
00:26:58
Auguste died one year before Gus was
00:27:01
born and the child had never seen a
00:27:03
picture of him now Gus was picking
00:27:06
Auguste out in photo after photo and
00:27:08
declaring that he was August in a
00:27:11
previous life he was shown a picture of
00:27:15
my own family's business and when asked
00:27:18
what this was he said that's my shop but
00:27:23
he said I used to be big and now I'm a
00:27:27
kid again
00:27:27
and he was giggling when he was saying
00:27:30
this I mean it's just like isn't this
00:27:32
great this is absolutely cool if that
00:27:37
wasn't strange enough
00:27:38
Gus soon began talking about a tragic
00:27:41
event and the Ortega family's past the
00:27:43
incident occurred fifty-five years
00:27:45
before Gus was born and Ron claims his
00:27:48
son knew absolutely nothing about it he
00:27:52
said I had a sister and she died
00:27:56
she's a fish
00:27:58
bad guy Peter died August Ortega's
00:28:04
sister was murdered by her husband in
00:28:06
1940 her body was wrapped in a blanket
00:28:09
and dumped into the San Francisco Bay
00:28:13
that was absolutely the aha moment that
00:28:17
blew me away because there was no way at
00:28:22
all that this kid could have known
00:28:24
anything about that today Gus is five
00:28:29
years old and his memories of his
00:28:31
grandfather August are slowly fading
00:28:33
away experts have discovered that most
00:28:36
children who remember past lives usually
00:28:39
lose those memories by the age of seven
00:28:42
if Gus starts to lose these memories
00:28:46
I'll feel fortunate to have spent this
00:28:49
early time with him he's very
00:28:52
affectionate and that's something that I
00:28:54
think my father always wanted to be able
00:28:56
to do but couldn't as much as he wanted
00:28:59
to this is like connecting and I sense
00:29:04
very much that this is a gift that's
00:29:07
been given to me and I'm cherishing
00:29:10
every moment of it d Klepper is now 27
00:29:15
years old she no longer has any memory
00:29:18
of her great grandmother or Celia
00:29:20
Davidson we certainly have not proven
00:29:24
reincarnation in fact we're not even
00:29:25
attempting to I think what these cases
00:29:29
can do is
00:29:31
open our minds a little bit where we may
00:29:34
not understand everything about how the
00:29:36
world works that there may be more to
00:29:39
life than we really know
00:29:50
Las Vegas Nevada a mecca for both high
00:29:53
rollers and nickel slot players however
00:29:56
in a local mall near the strip
00:29:58
Kevin wood his girlfriend Christine
00:30:00
Weston were playing their own game by
00:30:02
their own rules
00:30:05
Luanne Weston had allegedly devised a
00:30:07
daring shoplifting scheme that netted
00:30:09
enough cash to feed their drug habits
00:30:13
you got to be pretty gutsy to walk into
00:30:16
a mall and lift merchandise especially
00:30:17
nowadays with all these sensors that are
00:30:19
posted these places their luck
00:30:23
eventually ran out whoo and Weston were
00:30:26
arrested and booked for shoplifting but
00:30:30
they were soon back on the streets and
00:30:32
police claimed up to their old tricks
00:30:33
only this time the stakes had gone much
00:30:36
higher Christine was eight and a half
00:30:39
months pregnant with Kevin's baby and
00:30:41
they were about to become suspects in a
00:30:43
heinous crime according to police the
00:30:46
couple settled into the room following a
00:30:48
day ripping off department stores they
00:30:52
reportedly spent the rest of the evening
00:30:53
drinking and using drugs sometime after
00:30:57
midnight
00:30:57
Weston felt a series of sharp abdominal
00:31:00
pains
00:31:02
moments later she went into premature
00:31:04
labor locked herself in the bathroom
00:31:06
then gave birth to a baby boy moon rifle
00:31:19
through the yellow pages for the nearest
00:31:20
hospital and pleaded his case with an ER
00:31:23
nurse emergency room Lois speaking oh
00:31:30
man I have an emergency
00:31:32
she received the phone call about one
00:31:35
o'clock in the morning from a male
00:31:38
subject who identified himself as Kevin
00:31:40
and said that his girlfriend had just
00:31:42
had a baby and the baby was in the
00:31:45
toilet we do not dispatch ambulances
00:31:47
from this location you need to hang up
00:31:49
and you need to dial nine-one-one
00:31:51
who finally made the call to 911 hour
00:31:55
later about 2:00 a.m. he said it was a
00:31:58
medical emergency and not to involve the
00:32:00
cops suspicious the dispatcher contacted
00:32:03
Las Vegas Metro Police anyway when
00:32:07
paramedics and uniformed officers
00:32:08
arrived they found Christine alone in
00:32:11
the bathroom her baby was still in the
00:32:13
toilet while Weston was wheeled to a
00:32:17
waiting ambulance the homicide unit
00:32:19
responded the baby had apparently died
00:32:22
of drowning I can't describe the feeling
00:32:25
that I had when I first saw that because
00:32:27
I've never seen anything like it
00:32:29
the deaths dealing with children are the
00:32:31
hardest but this one this is hard to
00:32:33
describe this is a baby that didn't have
00:32:35
a chance from the minute it came out the
00:32:39
death of any child is tragic in this
00:32:41
case is especially shocking but had a
00:32:44
crime been committed several scenarios
00:32:47
of guilt or innocence were possible
00:32:49
detectives hoped an autopsy scheduled
00:32:51
for later the same day would provide the
00:32:53
answers one question in particular was
00:32:56
crucial had the baby been born alive
00:32:59
[Music]
00:33:01
detectives Hardy and Tremmel were
00:33:03
anxious to see the results of the
00:33:04
autopsy but in the meantime there was
00:33:06
work to do and they arrived at the
00:33:08
hospital a talk with a young couple a
00:33:10
uniformed officer was already
00:33:12
questioning Kevin
00:33:14
he suddenly became very nervous
00:33:17
Henderson how long you been living it
00:33:19
just a couple years we didn't stay too
00:33:22
long
00:33:23
excuse me do you mind if I use the
00:33:25
restroom yeah sure go ahead
00:33:27
Thanks
00:33:29
a few minutes later detectives were told
00:33:38
that Wu had fled he's out here
00:33:42
we need an officer stationed at the Lady
00:33:43
Luck hotel they immediately ordered a
00:33:45
patrol officer to stand guard at the
00:33:47
hotel in case he returned to his room
00:33:50
then around 3:00 a.m. party and Tremmel
00:33:53
spoke with Christine Weston we just need
00:33:56
to ask you a couple of questions she was
00:33:58
about as calm as anybody could be for
00:34:00
what had just happened wasn't upset
00:34:02
wasn't crying you know in questions she
00:34:05
had about was her belongings in the room
00:34:06
really couldn't care less about what
00:34:09
happened to the baby
00:34:10
when can I go back to the hotel well
00:34:12
it's a little late to go back tonight
00:34:13
but the room is secure your things are
00:34:15
all right well I gave her my business
00:34:18
card and said call us in the morning and
00:34:19
we'll make arrangements to meet you over
00:34:21
there and get your stuff thank you it
00:34:23
was partly a ploy to put Weston at ease
00:34:25
until detectives could review the
00:34:27
results of the autopsy and determine if
00:34:29
a crime had been committed late that
00:34:32
morning the report came in the baby had
00:34:36
indeed been born alive
00:34:38
[Music]
00:34:40
because they didn't seek medical
00:34:42
attention the District Attorney's Office
00:34:44
felt that there was enough to charge
00:34:46
both of them with the murder basically
00:34:50
of the child
00:34:52
there was no an alleged homicide to
00:34:54
investigate Christine Weston and Kevin
00:34:57
who the two prime suspects hardy and
00:35:00
Tremmel returned to the hospital a
00:35:02
question Weston but while they were
00:35:04
checking in at the nurse's station she
00:35:06
was checking out the back door
00:35:10
seconds later Weston was gone she really
00:35:16
had no fixed address in Las Vegas we
00:35:19
really know where to look for him they
00:35:20
are all as far as we concerned just get
00:35:23
to that hotel then two days after we
00:35:27
wound Weston disappeared police say Wu
00:35:29
stole a pickup truck and nearby
00:35:31
Henderson Nevada it was found abandoned
00:35:40
a few days later south of Los Angeles
00:35:42
that brought the FBI into the case the
00:35:47
FBI got involved in it during what we
00:35:49
call the unlawful flight to avoid
00:35:50
prosecution process what that is is when
00:35:53
an individual is indicted or arrested in
00:35:56
a state case and then flees the
00:35:58
jurisdiction we initiate that process to
00:36:01
assist in the apprehension
00:36:04
Weston and who are both charged with
00:36:06
second-degree murder
00:36:08
child abuse with substantial bodily harm
00:36:10
and possession of a controlled substance
00:36:12
who was also wanted for carjacking
00:36:15
but despite the nationwide manhunt
00:36:18
police say the couple has not been
00:36:20
deterred from their life of crime
00:36:24
christine has been cited twice in the
00:36:26
Southern California area
00:36:27
she was arrested by the Costa Mesa
00:36:29
Police Department for shoplifting Weston
00:36:33
however is very clever to derail Costa
00:36:36
Mesa police are making an immediate ID
00:36:38
she reportedly use one of her aliases
00:36:40
Carrie Lin Meeker since shoplifting is a
00:36:46
misdemeanor Westen posing as Meeker was
00:36:49
not held in jail once they're arrested
00:36:52
their fingerprints are sent back to the
00:36:54
FBI facility that can take up to a day
00:36:56
to get back the result of which is if
00:36:58
it's not a significant event they're
00:37:00
released before the return of the
00:37:02
fingerprints which helps them avoid
00:37:04
apprehension and what about Weston's
00:37:08
alleged partner in crime there haven't
00:37:11
been any sightings of Kevin Wu since his
00:37:13
departure but we still assume that the
00:37:15
two of them are together until we learn
00:37:17
otherwise
00:37:18
Christine Weston and Kevin were still in
00:37:21
the land and detective Don treble is
00:37:24
still on their trail he won't rest until
00:37:27
he tracks them down if you saw what we
00:37:30
saw in the room that night she wouldn't
00:37:33
make you mad - but the whole thing that
00:37:37
really gets to me is
00:37:40
that they chose to do nothing and showed
00:37:44
no concern no remorse and then left town
00:37:47
like nothing happened
00:37:49
a few days after Christine Weston and
00:37:53
Kevin who allegedly took the life of
00:37:54
their child a Las Vegas chapter of the
00:37:57
Knights of Columbus gay baby John Doe
00:37:59
named Kyle and a proper burial but there
00:38:03
will be no closure on this case until
00:38:04
his Paras are arrested and tried for
00:38:07
murder
00:38:08

00:38:16

00:38:24
[Music]
00:38:37
on a previous broadcast we brought you
00:38:40
the story of a beautiful young woman
00:38:41
named Wendy long Wendy was living with
00:38:44
her Paris during a semester off from
00:38:46
college on a Sunday afternoon and
00:38:49
coushatta Louisiana Carol and Luke long
00:38:52
received a telephone call from a friend
00:38:53
of their twenty-one year old daughter
00:38:55
they were given news that is every
00:38:57
parent's nightmare I thought she was
00:39:00
with you
00:39:03
wendy was missing we called the police
00:39:07
and tell them that we thought something
00:39:09
had happened to Wendy and that's where
00:39:12
it all started
00:39:14
somebody knows where Wendy said and we
00:39:18
just want to find her so bad two days
00:39:24
before she disappeared Wendy had left to
00:39:26
go to Shreveport for the weekend on the
00:39:31
way she picked up two friends they spent
00:39:34
the afternoon shopping later that day
00:39:38
they picked up an acquaintance a man Lee
00:39:40
called Tommy in our original broadcast
00:39:44
the foursome went to a party at another
00:39:46
friend's house and I'm told that Wendy
00:39:52
had quite a bit to drink that night so
00:39:55
that when it came time for them to take
00:39:58
Tommy back home she didn't want to drive
00:40:01
in fact she didn't want to go with him
00:40:02
at all
00:40:04
[Music]
00:40:11
Tommi claimed that he was concerned that
00:40:14
Wendy would be stranded so we returned
00:40:16
to the party in his own car and offered
00:40:18
her a ride home
00:40:21
on the way back tommy said he stopped
00:40:24
for gas and a quart of oil when he came
00:40:28
back out Wendy was talking to two young
00:40:31
men in a black Chevy truck this is Mike
00:40:35
and Zant's Tommy said that it appeared
00:40:38
that she knew them and Wendy told Tommy
00:40:42
at that point not to worry about it that
00:40:43
she was going to go with them and they
00:40:45
were gonna get her home I'm sure you
00:40:48
know these guys yes I'm sure I know
00:40:50
these guys according to Tom last time he
00:40:53
saw Wendy was when she left with the two
00:40:55
men this alleged sighting made Tommy the
00:40:58
last person to see Wendy before she
00:41:00
disappeared later police questioned tell
00:41:04
me about the events of the evening he
00:41:06
agreed to take a polygraph test which
00:41:08
according to police he passed Tommy even
00:41:13
gave it a tail description to the police
00:41:15
but despite thorough investigation the
00:41:18
lead seemed to go nowhere update five
00:41:24
months after Wendy's disappearance Tommy
00:41:26
his real name as Robert rocky Stewart
00:41:28
was arrested for check fraud the
00:41:33
investigators started taking another
00:41:35
look at rocky and I think in just
00:41:37
looking at him as a possible suspect
00:41:41
instead of a possible witness they
00:41:43
started pointing out inconsistencies in
00:41:46
his story authorities came to believe
00:41:51
that the story he told them was a
00:41:52
complete fabrication
00:41:54
when the information continued to turn
00:41:58
up false and the story broke down mr.
00:42:02
Stewart began to break down police say
00:42:04
that rocky Stewart then confessed to
00:42:07
murdering Wendy long during one of the
00:42:09
subsequent interviews mr. Stewart gave
00:42:11
investigators the location of the body
00:42:13
investigators went to that location
00:42:16
found what appeared to be human remains
00:42:18
those remains ultimately were determined
00:42:21
to be the remains of winning home
