tonight on unsolved mysteries it is one
00:00:10
of nature's most powerful and inspiring
00:00:12
forces no knows where or when it will
00:00:15
strike but if it does the Olson clan of
00:00:18
Illinois is sure to take notes are
00:00:21
nearly a century family members have had
00:00:23
close encounters with one lightning bolt
00:00:25
after another when a young film student
00:00:29
from California is killed in Mexico the
00:00:31
investigation becomes shrouded in sorrow
00:00:33
and foreign intrigue what was Patrick
00:00:35
County doing in Tijuana who is pursuing
00:00:38
and who was driving his car in the days
00:00:41
after he died is our destiny written in
00:00:45
the stars can astrology predict whether
00:00:48
we will be good or evil in a fascinating
00:00:51
special report leading astrology reveals
00:00:54
as serial murders like Jeffrey Dahmer
00:00:56
a Night Stalker and Son of Sam might
00:00:59
have been born to kill and from the curt
00:01:02
case filed a special report on
00:01:04
modern-day vampires the summit is just
00:01:07
innocent diversion to others it's a
00:01:09
dangerous descent into an altered
00:01:11
reality one case may have led
00:01:15
jointly perhaps you may be able to help
00:01:19
solve one of tonight's unsolved
00:01:21
mysteries

[Music]
00:02:21
it is a force of nature so mysterious so
00:02:24
powerful has been called a finger of God
00:02:28
where are who it may strike cannot be
00:02:31
predicted the one family in Illinois
00:02:34
every thunderstorm holds a potential for
00:02:37
disaster even death
00:02:39
I think the Lightning likes us once in a
00:02:46
while forget a bolt of strikes you know
00:02:48
real real close and start thinking about
00:02:52
it since I've told you no co-workers and
00:02:56
friends miss they tend to tend to kid me
00:02:59
a lot and you know nobody wants to give
00:03:01
me a ride home when it's raining out
00:03:03
call me Lightning boy things like that
00:03:07
I think it'll strike me again and that
00:03:10
someday is going to get me and kill me
00:03:18
meet the Olsen family their ancestors
00:03:21
John and Jen Cena
00:03:22
Olsen came to America from Denmark in
00:03:24
1893 from them subsequent generations
00:03:28
have inherited a deadly legacy a bizarre
00:03:31
kinship was lightning over the last four
00:03:37
generations at least ten members of the
00:03:39
Olsen family have had close encounters
00:03:40
with lightning terrifyingly close two of
00:03:44
them have died the first person that was
00:03:47
on killed by lightning was Crystal sin'
00:03:49
and he died in 1899
00:03:56
it was a stormy day in May crystals the
00:04:04
third child of John and John Cena was 23
00:04:07
years old that afternoon he went to
00:04:10
visit his future bride and her father
00:04:31
Chris Tolson died instantly
00:04:34
the lightning never touched the others
00:04:36
Chris family Morgan unaware that his
00:04:39
death was only the beginning
00:04:43
22 years later Chris older brother
00:04:46
Olli braved the late summer storm to
00:04:48
feed his livestock at the barn door
00:04:54
lightning struck him dead it was then
00:04:57
the Olsen family began to wonder if
00:04:59
death by lightning was a destiny they
00:05:01
all might share Christine Olsen Kristin
00:05:07
o Lee's sister lived her life with that
00:05:09
conviction by the spring of 1941 she was
00:05:12
an old woman but as her grandson bill
00:05:15
vividly recalls she was still terrified
00:05:17
of lightning
00:05:19
I came out for the summer my summer
00:05:22
visit and
00:05:23
had a day it was very cloudy outside and
00:05:26
it was dark early and so she put me to
00:05:29
bed and I was laying there probably a
00:05:31
half hour and then I could hear thunder
00:05:34
in the background lightning start bolts
00:05:37
of it coming down
00:05:47
Billy Billy get up pretty quickly we've
00:05:55
got to go outside but why because we've
00:06:00
got to get away from the lightning will
00:06:01
go out to the old God the war I got out
00:06:04
the bedroom door and his bolt lightning
00:06:06
hit blew a hole in the wall run across
00:06:11
the metal ceiling
00:06:16
feeling lit up like a neon sign
00:06:19
[Music]
00:06:22
but I think after that we didn't stop
00:06:25
too long so we just tore out the back
00:06:27
door and ran out to the car
00:06:31
bill and his grandmother passed the rest
00:06:34
of the night huddled safely in the car
00:06:36
but the specter of lightning would
00:06:39
continue to haunt the descendants of
00:06:40
John and Jen Cena Olsen 20 years later
00:06:43
when Bill Thompson was grown and had a
00:06:45
family he had his second brush with
00:06:48
death
00:06:51
ball lightning shot in through the
00:06:53
window hit the toaster and glued a
00:06:55
toaster off the table went over missed
00:06:58
the little girl in height shared this
00:06:59
one buyer his balls hit the phone on the
00:07:01
wall and knocked the phone off the wall
00:07:03
and went out through the phone areas but
00:07:06
Eric nobody got hurt but toaster is gone
00:07:09
and the telephone was gone
00:07:10
everybody's very frightened
00:07:14
[Music]
00:07:16
during a summer storm five years later
00:07:18
lightning again reached out to the
00:07:20
Olsens
00:07:21
this time it was Bill's first cousin
00:07:23
Connie that day her sister Karen had
00:07:26
come to pick her up after work
00:07:28
Connie's and Connor would be with a kind
00:07:31
of lightning that seemed to emanate from
00:07:32
the ground it looked like it was going
00:07:37
to be a thunderstorm and there was a
00:07:40
different kind of feeling about the
00:07:42
atmosphere it felt like it was full of
00:07:46
electrical charges and it was like an
00:07:49
eerie kind of feeling every single joint
00:07:56
in my body violently jerked and then I
00:08:00
fell to the ground I don't remember
00:08:04
anything after that because I was
00:08:06
knocked unconscious
00:08:09
Connie's boss came to her aid and helped
00:08:12
her to Karen's car who everyone's
00:08:16
complete astonishment Connie was
00:08:18
essentially unharmed when I came to in
00:08:22
the car my body had a tingling sensation
00:08:26
my arms and my chest area were numb when
00:08:33
my sister told me that I was struck by
00:08:35
lightning I was just really surprised I
00:08:37
had absolutely no idea that that's what
00:08:40
happened but then I thought well that's
00:08:43
what lightning feels like
00:08:47
the Lightning has always kind of been a
00:08:48
little a little strange to me you know
00:08:50
this is something that that has always
00:08:53
kind of scared me and I'm sure some of
00:08:55
it is due to that and when you know that
00:08:57
current said it happened when I was
00:08:58
young Bradlee hapless fourth generation
00:09:02
Olsen the year he turned 15 he visited
00:09:06
his grandmother's farm in Burlington
00:09:07
Illinois at the time
00:09:11
Bradley knew nothing about the Olson
00:09:13
history the light was so bright that I
00:09:21
you know I couldn't see for a second I
00:09:23
finally want to kind of shook off and I
00:09:26
realized what had happened he was
00:09:27
lighting a hit somewhere and there was a
00:09:32
probably a ten inch diameter charge
00:09:34
circle on the door that was smoking
00:09:38
since that time I have been very scared
00:09:41
of lightning it it wasn't necessarily a
00:09:44
life-changing experience I didn't turn
00:09:46
good or anything because of it but it
00:09:48
was something that you know they really
00:09:50
probably it was part of the first time
00:09:51
my life the realization is wow you could
00:09:53
have just you could have just been
00:09:54
killed
00:09:57
do you have been struck by lightning
00:09:59
next to your name what is the link
00:10:08
between this family and lightning but it
00:10:11
possibly be something unique and their
00:10:13
genetic makeup I've never heard of
00:10:16
another family where two family members
00:10:19
had been killed by lightning whether the
00:10:22
whole Olson family has a genetic
00:10:24
predisposition to be struck by lightning
00:10:26
I think is a question that I would
00:10:30
answer no because from a from a
00:10:33
scientific point of view the lightning
00:10:34
starts in the cloud has no idea what's
00:10:36
going on in the ground just works its
00:10:39
way down randomly and then hits what's
00:10:41
under wherever it gets to I believe that
00:10:48
there's an organic reason why lightning
00:10:52
strikes my family and I also feel good
00:10:59
what you fear most is what you attract
00:11:02
and many members of my family fear
00:11:05
lightning and therefore they attract
00:11:08
lightning to them given the family
00:11:15
history two fatalities and countless
00:11:17
near misses such fears are
00:11:19
understandable and family gatherings he
00:11:22
also scant help but wonder who's next
00:11:24
one more let's say lightning this time
00:11:26
for the occasion
00:11:28
[Music]
00:11:36
next when a young college student is
00:11:39
killed in Mexico his grieving mother and
00:11:41
a determined private investigator embark
00:11:44
on a desperate search for answers and
00:11:46
later a revealing look at the bizarre
00:11:49
world of modern-day vampires and the
00:11:51
games they play
00:11:54
[Music]
00:12:06
this is Yahveh d de Internacional a cold
00:12:10
concrete stretch of highway that runs
00:12:12
along the border that separates Tijuana
00:12:14
Mexico from the United States every year
00:12:17
dozens of people are killed here as they
00:12:19
dash through heavy traffic attempting to
00:12:21
enter the US illegally
00:12:26
on may 5th 1996 local rescue crews
00:12:30
responded to the kind of accident scene
00:12:32
that has become tragically commonplace a
00:12:34
pedestrian had been struck and
00:12:36
critically injured he carried no ID was
00:12:39
classified as disco Necedah or unknown
00:12:44
[Music]
00:12:46
after this photograph ran in a local
00:12:49
newspaper the man was incorrectly
00:12:51
identified as Luis Rodriguez he died six
00:12:54
days after the accident without
00:12:56
regaining consciousness another 15 days
00:13:01
would pass before it became known that
00:13:03
the dead man was in reality Patrick
00:13:05
Kelly a film student at the University
00:13:07
of Southern California in Los Angeles
00:13:09
during those 15 days Patrick's mother
00:13:12
Terry had lost a desperate search to
00:13:13
find him in the process he had uncovered
00:13:16
a series of disturbing clues which have
00:13:18
convinced her that there was much more
00:13:19
of Patrick's death than just a traffic
00:13:22
accident
00:13:26
Terry Kelly of Alberta Canada is a
00:13:28
management consultant who adopted
00:13:30
Patrick when he is 18 months old Patrick
00:13:33
had been born into the Blood Indian
00:13:35
tribe and immediately placed in foster
00:13:37
care as a young child he learned a love
00:13:41
writing and storytelling as a teenager
00:13:44
he began to dream about making movies in
00:13:50
1993 Patrick took a major step towards
00:13:53
that goal he was accepted into the
00:13:55
prestigious film school at the
00:13:56
University of Southern California
00:13:59
he loved the education he was getting he
00:14:02
was very enthusiastic about his classes
00:14:05
and about what they were learning and
00:14:07
and from the very first day of school
00:14:09
they had to start writing and and that
00:14:11
just it's it's like the school was
00:14:13
geared towards who he was Friday night
00:14:22
May 3rd 1996 found Patrick celebrating
00:14:25
the end of the semester with a close
00:14:26
friend Michael Park after months of
00:14:30
painstaking effort Patrick had just
00:14:31
turned in his year-end project a
00:14:33
full-length motion picture script he was
00:14:38
really upbeat it was just really anxious
00:14:41
to get on with his senior year and then
00:14:42
you know hopefully out in Hollywood we
00:14:46
watched the video for about 45 minutes
00:14:47
about 3:45 I remember the time because I
00:14:51
had to get up pretty early the next
00:14:53
morning so I said you know I better
00:14:54
leave and hit the sack
00:14:56
so was about 3:45 didn't really mention
00:15:00
anything at all up a weekend just wait
00:15:02
tired he said he's gonna rest and
00:15:03
rehearsing he's gonna rest you nice tail
00:15:05
see you tomorrow and that was the last
00:15:07
song one of the things we agreed on when
00:15:11
he first went away to school all was
00:15:13
that we would always call each other on
00:15:15
Sunday evening in three years he'd never
00:15:18
missed the call he didn't call that
00:15:21
Sunday night and I called him and tried
00:15:24
all evening to get hold of him so I knew
00:15:26
right away that we had a problem
00:15:29
the following Tuesday Terry asked
00:15:31
Michael Park to go to Patrick's room to
00:15:34
Michael looked as if Patrick had just
00:15:36
stepped out for a moment though
00:15:39
Patrick's passport was missing his
00:15:41
wallet was on the desk his bags and
00:15:43
clothes in the closet only the answering
00:15:46
machine offered a clue Terry Kelly
00:15:57
immediately phoned the bank there had
00:16:01
been several ATM transactions over that
00:16:03
weekend in Mexico and that it overdrew
00:16:07
his account so that was the first clue
00:16:11
we had as to what direction he had been
00:16:13
headed that direction was due south at
00:16:19
10:24 Saturday morning Patrick made a
00:16:21
$60 withdrawal at a 7-eleven in San
00:16:24
Clemente California 63 miles from Los
00:16:27
Angeles at 6:08 p.m. another 135 dollars
00:16:33
withdrawn at a bank ATM and the Tijuana
00:16:35
tourist area the next day three more
00:16:38
withdrawals at a bank ATM at downtown
00:16:41
Tijuana but Patrick's account drive
00:16:46
private detective Doug Roth was hired by
00:16:49
Terry Kelly to track down Patrick growth
00:16:52
began the 7-eleven in San Clemente the
00:16:59
surveillance tape from Saturday morning
00:17:00
May 4th showed Patrick entering the
00:17:02
store Roth continued south before
00:17:07
crossing into Mexico he decided to check
00:17:09
the parking lots along the border for
00:17:11
many tourists leave their cars before
00:17:13
entering Tijuana Roth hit pay dirt
00:17:16
right away you have this card yes you
00:17:25
have this car here
00:17:28
Patrick's car was parked along the back
00:17:30
fence it was caked with mud there was
00:17:33
damage to the front right bumper and the
00:17:35
rear license plate was loose other clues
00:17:38
suggested that someone other than
00:17:40
Patrick had last driven the car the
00:17:44
driver's seat was much closer to the
00:17:46
steering wheel than would be consistent
00:17:49
with someone who was 6 foot 1 inches
00:17:51
tall the radio was turned to a Spanish
00:17:55
American radio station which was as we
00:17:58
understand it inconsistent with
00:17:59
Patrick's listening habits but we also
00:18:02
had found a partially smoked cigarette
00:18:05
in the ashtray of the car
00:18:06
Patrick was not a smoker and as we
00:18:10
understand it did not allow smoking in
00:18:11
his car Doug Roth provided photos of
00:18:18
Patrick to the parking attendant a lot
00:18:20
manager then passed them along to his
00:18:22
girlfriend who lived in Tijuana she is
00:18:26
called the Red Cross in Mexico she had
00:18:28
recalled the local jails and there was
00:18:33
no result finally she went down to the
00:18:37
morgue house were the pictures and then
00:18:41
she fought noise somebody there who
00:18:43
looks just like the picture and was a
00:18:46
good possibility it might have been an
00:18:48
after Doug Roth made a tentative
00:18:50
identification Patrick's mother Terry
00:18:52
immediately traveled to the morgue and
00:18:54
Tijuana to view the body which was
00:18:56
scheduled to be buried in an unmarked
00:18:58
grave very tough thing they don't they
00:19:03
don't let you in the same room with them
00:19:05
you have to view them with your class
00:19:06
and you know a considerable a distance
00:19:09
for those circumstances but you know I
00:19:18
knew it was him my initial reaction upon
00:19:21
viewing the body was that he had been
00:19:23
beaten severely this is based
00:19:26
principally on my observation of wounds
00:19:28
about the face and upper body chest area
00:19:32
but the Mexican authorities had
00:19:34
attributed those injuries to the traffic
00:19:36
accident this is a current official
00:19:41
account of how Patrick died at
00:19:44
approximately 1:00 a.m. on May 5th a
00:19:46
motorcyclist was heading east along the
00:19:48
Avenida Internacional when two
00:19:51
pedestrians suddenly darted out in front
00:19:53
of it
00:19:58
[Music]
00:19:58
[Applause]
00:20:01
[Music]
00:20:11
it is still unclear exactly how Patrick
00:20:14
was misidentified as Luis Rodriguez but
00:20:17
the confusion apparently began as soon
00:20:19
as paramedics arrived on the scene the
00:20:23
rescue workers described the pedestrian
00:20:25
as being five foot five twenty-seven
00:20:28
years old
00:20:29
obese wearing I believe it was a blue
00:20:32
t-shirt and white tennis shoes
00:20:36
my son was 200 pounds six foot one
00:20:39
wearing a tan t-shirt at least earlier
00:20:42
that day and black van top ciders shoes
00:20:47
[Music]
00:20:51
the clothes Patrick was wearing were
00:20:53
destroyed at the hospital the Mexican
00:20:56
authorities believe that garbled
00:20:57
description was an honest mistake
00:21:00
when you're working on a prison that's
00:21:02
dying on you the people work fast and
00:21:05
they do a report maybe they did it too
00:21:08
fast and they didn't see the exact
00:21:10
height he was lying down so it could
00:21:14
have been difficult but that that
00:21:16
question could be answered by the
00:21:17
paramedics that looked at the scene
00:21:20
the confusion extends beyond the
00:21:23
question of Patrick's identity Mexican
00:21:26
authorities concluded that all of his
00:21:28
injuries resulted from the accident
00:21:31
however an autopsy commissioned by terry
00:21:34
kelly and performed in the united states
00:21:36
concluded quote findings do not support
00:21:39
an interpretation that death was due to
00:21:41
a motor vehicle accident
00:21:43
[Music]
00:21:45
despite the irregularities the reports
00:21:47
all now agree that patrick county lay
00:21:50
critically injured in the hospital room
00:21:51
at 2:00 a.m. on may 5th but some 13
00:21:55
hours later at around 5:00 p.m.
00:21:57
Patrick's ATM card was used to make
00:22:00
three withdrawals the evidence clearly
00:22:03
indicates that transactions had occurred
00:22:06
after he was comatose in Mexico with his
00:22:10
ATM card that that ATM card had been
00:22:13
used with a PIN number which he would
00:22:16
not have reasonably given up or had any
00:22:18
need to have written down anywhere maybe
00:22:20
he came down with somebody of his
00:22:22
confidence that he can confine in this
00:22:26
person his pin numbers or his documents
00:22:30
or whatever maybe his friend took money
00:22:33
because they didn't know the city or
00:22:35
because they needed money to move or get
00:22:39
back to the states and report that he
00:22:40
was missing we really don't know one
00:22:45
more perplexing mystery involves
00:22:46
Patrick's car according to the parking
00:22:49
lot records somebody paid the $60 fee
00:22:52
and drove the car off the lot on May
00:22:53
15th
00:22:54
four days after Patrick died the next
00:22:58
day
00:22:58
the car was returned to the exact same
00:23:00
parking space
00:23:03
Doug Roth believes it all adds up to one
00:23:06
inescapable conclusion Patrick Kelly was
00:23:09
running for his life
00:23:10
when he was hit by the motorcycle I
00:23:13
believe Patrick went to Mexico with with
00:23:17
another individual and I believe that by
00:23:20
five o'clock in the afternoon they had
00:23:22
met with some unsavory characters and
00:23:24
had probably been taken against their
00:23:27
will hostage
00:23:28
had been beaten that their pin number
00:23:31
had been gained and likely while they
00:23:35
were held nearby that place where the
00:23:37
accident occurred they made a break for
00:23:38
it and during the course of that may
00:23:40
have recklessly ran across the street
00:23:42
into the oncoming traffic one of them
00:23:45
struck one of them was not one of them
00:23:48
made it away finding the answers has
00:23:55
proven almost impossible because Patrick
00:23:57
died in Tijuana the United States and
00:23:59
Canada have no jurisdiction to
00:24:01
investigate leaving Terry County to sort
00:24:04
out the contradictions and discrepancies
00:24:06
on her own all the while knowing that
00:24:09
her only son is gone forever that the
00:24:13
hardest part of all of this of course
00:24:15
has been going home without him the most
00:24:18
frustrating and unforgivable part is
00:24:21
that nobody will help no official agency
00:24:23
assigned such so it's jurisdictional
00:24:25
help us find out what happened it will
00:24:27
help us get justice for what happened
00:24:31
[Music]
00:24:32
coming up
00:24:34
participants defend vampire games as
00:24:36
innocent fun others fear the line
00:24:38
between fantasy and reality is easily
00:24:41
blurred when we return Dahmer
00:24:44
Berkowitz Ramirez notorious killers all
00:24:47
noted astrologer carolyn reynolds
00:24:50
believes their thirst for murder was
00:24:52
preordained at birth a neat
00:24:54
configuration of the planets and the
00:24:56
stars

[Music]
00:25:10
Jeffrey Dahmer
00:25:12
he lured at least eleven young men to
00:25:14
his apartment in Milwaukee he drunk
00:25:17
strangled and dismembered each of them
00:25:19
in a real-life chamber of horrors
00:25:22
Richard Ramirez The Night Stalker he
00:25:26
invaded homes in the Los Angeles area
00:25:28
he murdered at least 16 people most of
00:25:31
them women David Berkowitz Son of Sam
00:25:37
he turned New York City into his
00:25:39
personal hunting ground
00:25:41
randomly shooting 13 people leaving six
00:25:43
of them dead what forces compelled these
00:25:48
notorious killers
00:25:49
genetics the environment or are these
00:25:53
men linked by influences far more
00:25:55
mysterious astrologers might say that
00:25:57
they were born to kill their destiny
00:26:00
written in the stars astrology is like a
00:26:05
road map where the planets were
00:26:08
positioned at the exact moment you were
00:26:11
born astrology is the science of
00:26:15
celestial bodies in relationship to an
00:26:18
infant and then it progresses through
00:26:20
their life
00:26:23
for most of us astrology is little more
00:26:25
than a playful diversion to be enjoyed
00:26:28
but not taken seriously but perhaps
00:26:31
there is something more to this
00:26:33
so-called science those who studied
00:26:37
astrology are convinced that you can
00:26:39
foretell the course of a person's life
00:26:41
by reading his or her astrological chart
00:26:43
but can a chart also predict whether
00:26:46
someone will be good or evil
00:26:48
we asked carolyn reynolds and two other
00:26:51
astrologers to study the charts of
00:26:52
roughly 20 subjects incredibly the
00:26:56
charts that made the most startling
00:26:57
impression were those of four notorious
00:26:59
serial killers Richard Ramirez David
00:27:02
Berkowitz Edmund Kemper and Jeffrey
00:27:05
Dahmer to understand astrology you must
00:27:11
understand an astrological chart the
00:27:14
chart divides a sky into twelve houses
00:27:16
each representing a facet of life for
00:27:19
example parents and home is the fourth
00:27:21
house
00:27:21
death is the eighth each house contains
00:27:25
a portion of a 360 degrees that make up
00:27:28
a circle
00:27:29
according to astrologist where the stars
00:27:32
and planets fall in these houses has
00:27:34
specific meaning
00:27:36
[Music]
00:27:38
when carolyn reynolds sat down to study
00:27:40
the astrological charts she was given
00:27:43
virtually no identifying information
00:27:44
beyond date time and place of birth
00:27:48
amazingly of the 19 charts analyzed
00:27:52
carolyn zeroed in on Dahmer ramirez
00:27:55
Berkowitz and Kemper as probable serial
00:27:58
killers if you look at charts there's a
00:28:03
certain beauty in harmony where they
00:28:05
flow and theirs were jumbled and knotted
00:28:08
and in all their planets were just
00:28:11
bumping up against each other causing
00:28:13
friction and trouble in each case
00:28:17
without knowing which chart belong to
00:28:20
which subject Carolyn was able to talk
00:28:22
about specific details relating to the
00:28:24
killer's crimes the tales have proved to
00:28:27
be remarkably accurate
00:28:29
for instance in 1988 Richard Ramirez
00:28:33
pled guilty to murder and reportedly
00:28:35
bragged to a fellow inmate quote I've
00:28:38
killed 20 people I love all that blood
00:28:42
this was the most obvious killer he has
00:28:46
in the third house the Sun and the moon
00:28:49
and the sign of Pisces he had five out
00:28:55
of seven of the worst degrees that you
00:28:57
could have and one of them was the
00:28:59
degree of the devil during his trial
00:29:05
Richard Ramirez openly professed to
00:29:07
worshipping Satan and proudly displayed
00:29:09
a pentagram a sign of the devil on the
00:29:12
palm of his left hand then there's David
00:29:17
Berkowitz Son of Sam when he was
00:29:20
arrested he claimed that he was
00:29:21
instructed to kill by a neighbor's dog
00:29:23
and had no control over his own actions
00:29:26
without knowing that she was reading
00:29:28
Berkowitz's chart carolyn reynolds came
00:29:31
to the same conclusion
00:29:33
I don't think he had much of a choice in
00:29:36
this he was born with the planets that
00:29:38
gave you a potential in the lineup for
00:29:41
multiple personality or split
00:29:43
personality and it's in the house of
00:29:46
death
00:29:48
when carolyn reynolds read the chart
00:29:51
that turned out to be Jeffrey Dahmer's
00:29:52
she found the subject to be quote
00:29:55
destructive heartless and cruel
00:29:57
Carolyn concluded that if he wasn't so
00:30:00
evil he would be a murder victim himself
00:30:03
and that's exactly what Jeffrey Dahmer
00:30:05
became in 1994 he was beaten to death in
00:30:09
prison I was also involved in killing
00:30:13
coeds because my mother was this
00:30:15
interview with mass murder
00:30:16
Edmund calendar was conducted in 1984
00:30:19
Kemper's chart was perhaps the most
00:30:22
revealing of all notably in the fourth
00:30:24
house which represents parents and home
00:30:26
again Carolyn did not know whose chart
00:30:30
she was analyzing there's a lot of
00:30:33
activity at home and it's all unusual
00:30:35
and not good automatically and I'm
00:30:38
thinking something's not right here
00:30:40
about what he's doing at home and there
00:30:44
were some other problems with him the
00:30:46
position of the Moon is pretty much
00:30:49
working against that house in astrology
00:30:54
the moon is a symbol for mother in the
00:30:57
early 1970s Edmund Kemper murdered eight
00:31:00
women six coeds
00:31:02
his mother's best friend and his mother
00:31:05
criminal psychologist Candace scrap egg
00:31:08
is familiar with Kemper's case
00:31:11
it's clear that there was a very
00:31:13
tumultuous relationship between ed and
00:31:16
his mother from a young child he had
00:31:18
fantasized killing her the six young
00:31:21
women that he chose consciously he says
00:31:24
we're women that represented women whom
00:31:28
his mother had said he was not good
00:31:31
enough for dr. scrapbook has interviewed
00:31:34
a dozen serial killers
00:31:36
she believes that they are products of
00:31:37
both their environment and biology
00:31:39
including their genetic makeup that is
00:31:43
like a Mars to a Saturn or mercury to us
00:31:45
F dr. scrapbook does not adhere to
00:31:47
astrology she does find carolyn reynolds
00:31:49
observations intriguing we brought the
00:31:52
two of them together to compare notes
00:31:54
there are certain concepts that
00:31:57
certainly I'm relating to in this
00:31:59
particular case I'm most interested in
00:32:01
trying to come to a better understanding
00:32:04
of why it is serial murderers do what
00:32:07
they do
00:32:07
psychologically of course and as a
00:32:09
psychologist that's probably my bias I
00:32:15
honestly don't know if there's any value
00:32:18
to astrology
00:32:19
I don't dismiss it I don't discount it
00:32:21
as a valid factor in human behavior I
00:32:27
just really cannot say one way or the
00:32:29
other are certain people destined to
00:32:36
kill the moment they are born or is it
00:32:38
possible to reverse but carolyn reynolds
00:32:40
believes is written in the stars the
00:32:45
stars incline they do not impel i think
00:32:50
love for example transcends everything i
00:32:53
think if a person had a real strong
00:32:55
nurturing loving mother and father
00:32:58
relationships around them that it might
00:33:01
help them not to act in the negative
00:33:04
fashion it's a road map and like any
00:33:09
other road map sometimes you take a
00:33:11
different route I think it's a lot like
00:33:12
that astrology has been labeled as
00:33:18
pseudoscience because it relies so
00:33:19
heavily on personal interpretation
00:33:22
skeptics among us may dismiss it
00:33:24
altogether but before you do you should
00:33:27
realize that many famous people have
00:33:29
consulted the stars at critical moments
00:33:30
in their lives among them presidents
00:33:33
Ronald Reagan and George Bush
00:33:35
psychologist Carl Jung and during World
00:33:38
War two British Prime Minister Winston
00:33:41
Churchill reportedly consulted his
00:33:43
astrologer before planning battle
00:33:45
strategy
00:33:48
when we return a 14 year old girl lured
00:33:52
away from her home five teenagers
00:33:55
arrested for a brutal double murder a
00:33:57
common thread vampire fantasy games that
00:34:01
authorities say can turn frighteningly
00:34:02
real
00:34:04
[Music]
00:34:18
they are dark they are dangerous they
00:34:22
are sexy from Transylvania to Hollywood
00:34:25
vampires have been popular characters in
00:34:27
movies literature and legend for
00:34:29
generations today fans of the undead are
00:34:34
giving ancient myths fresh life all
00:34:36
across the country wannabes play out
00:34:39
fantasies and bizarre vampire nightclubs
00:34:42
on the Internet
00:34:44
vampire chat rooms attract thousands of
00:34:46
hits every day and players of various
00:34:49
games such as vampire the masquerade
00:34:51
gather regularly to act out their dark
00:34:54
dramas you are watching a game in
00:34:59
progress in this scene a man seated is a
00:35:03
willing victim I think the game really
00:35:07
affords people an opportunity to
00:35:10
confront the dark side of human nature
00:35:13
which is so much a part of all of us and
00:35:15
face it rather honestly and do it in a
00:35:18
entertaining way do it in a safe
00:35:22
environment for the vast majority of
00:35:27
players many different vampire games are
00:35:29
harmless fun but for some participants
00:35:32
that craze may have a sinister side
00:35:34
sometimes a game can go wrong fat as he
00:35:38
can lead into a brutal reality tonight
00:35:40
we'll look at three such cases are the
00:35:43
isolated events or are they part of a
00:35:45
disturbing new trend
00:35:48
this fourteen-year-old girl disappeared
00:35:51
one week before Christmas in 1996 police
00:35:55
suspected Kira
00:35:56
O'Connell of Rochester New York may have
00:35:58
been lured from her home by a man she
00:36:00
met via the internet on a website for
00:36:03
vampires
00:36:03
I believe she's being held against her
00:36:07
will I believe he's not letting her call
00:36:08
I don't know if she's even aware what's
00:36:11
going on authorities believe Kara
00:36:14
O'Connell is with this man 22 year old
00:36:17
Brooker Monta a senior Airman and the US
00:36:20
Air Force who has now been listed as a
00:36:21
deserter malti and several friends
00:36:25
allegedly ran their own vampire chat
00:36:27
room on the Internet
00:36:28
a black Bros nightclub Kira started
00:36:33
playing the game and somehow met some
00:36:35
people that were playing the game and
00:36:36
started shooting off into a separate
00:36:38
chat room talking to this man one on one
00:36:41
that we know now from reading his emails
00:36:43
to her that he figured out how to talk
00:36:45
to her how to get inside her mind how to
00:36:47
basically control it generally speaking
00:36:51
we're looking at kids who are usually
00:36:54
intelligent children and want to belong
00:36:57
want to be a part of something want to
00:36:59
participate and so this comes along and
00:37:02
reaches out to them and says there are
00:37:05
no rules it's exciting it's different
00:37:08
mom and dad won't like it very much
00:37:11
that's another element that sometimes is
00:37:13
a draw and once they get involved in it
00:37:16
sometimes it you know it becomes more
00:37:19
than just a game to these children
00:37:22
children like that are perfect targets
00:37:24
for men like 27 year old John
00:37:26
Christopher Bush police in Virginia
00:37:28
Beach Virginia say that Bush convinced
00:37:31
local junior high and high school
00:37:32
students that he was a powerful vampire
00:37:36
John Christopher Bush offered them a
00:37:39
family a family unit a place to belong
00:37:41
things to do he gave them tasks he gave
00:37:43
them responsibilities all of course at a
00:37:46
high price
00:37:47
that price was the loss of innocence
00:37:50
Bush used the hook of vampirism to
00:37:53
seduce teenage girls they didn't really
00:37:57
know what they were consenting to until
00:37:59
sometimes it was too late and they got
00:38:01
involved in this and then of course the
00:38:02
embarrassment factor takes over in the
00:38:04
fear and and and you know mr. Bush went
00:38:07
to great lengths to cultivate that fear
00:38:10
he talked to them about a blood hunt
00:38:13
blood hunt is an activity in the vampire
00:38:16
game except he would explain it to them
00:38:18
not as a game but as I will take you out
00:38:21
into the woods you'll be cut loose and
00:38:23
we will hunt you we will hunt you down
00:38:26
jon-christopher Bush was found guilty on
00:38:28
30 counts including rape unlawful carnal
00:38:31
knowledge and crimes against nature he
00:38:34
was sentenced to 26 years in prison two
00:38:39
months after Bush's conviction another
00:38:41
so-called vampire family grabbed the
00:38:43
headlines five teenagers from the small
00:38:46
town of Murray Kentucky were arrested
00:38:48
for a shocking double murder one of them
00:38:51
was Heather Wendorf her parents were the
00:38:54
victims the alleged vampire leader was
00:38:56
16 year-old rod Ferrell the City police
00:39:00
detective said that he would cut his arm
00:39:04
and let others suck his blood as sort of
00:39:08
some kind of ritualistic they call it
00:39:10
being embraced embraced into the family
00:39:13
the whole bloodletting thing was was
00:39:16
appealing to him and bloodletting is is
00:39:18
nothing more than than letting somebody
00:39:20
else feed off a few we never promoted it
00:39:23
and once I found out I was quite shocked
00:39:25
that he was involved in that Ferrell and
00:39:29
his clan reportedly like to play vampire
00:39:31
at various places around town one
00:39:34
favorite hangout was an abandoned
00:39:36
building they called the vampire hotel I
00:39:39
know there was a local graveyard where
00:39:41
these pictures of rod Ferrell were taken
00:39:43
some claim Ferrell didn't see vampirism
00:39:46
as a game but as a birthright he told
00:39:50
the Sheriff's Department he thought he
00:39:51
was immortal he told the sheriff's that
00:39:53
he didn't think whatever happened to him
00:39:56
wouldn't hurt him in the long run
00:39:58
more or less and not so many words he
00:40:03
feels he's invincible he honestly
00:40:05
believes he's a vampire his vampire
00:40:09
