this program is about unsolved mysteries
00:00:07
whenever possible the actual family
00:00:09

broadcast in Virginia a woman is found
00:00:22

husband claims it was a tragic accident
00:00:26
but the police believe it was murdered
00:00:29
in Chicago in New York over five
00:00:32
thousand people had been tricked into
00:00:33
paying hundreds of thousands of dollars
00:00:35

Conners Mabel Woods loves dogs has

terror against people and her helpless

animals I'll also tell you the story of
00:00:55
five Hawaiian fisherman vanished without
00:00:57
a trace during a tropical storm almost
00:01:00
ten years later the tiny boat was
00:01:02
discovered over 3,000 miles of where

00:02:06
on the night of September 30th 1987 a
00:02:10
pickup truck was discovered on the side
00:02:12
of a Virginia back road the engine was
00:02:15
running the keys were still in the
00:02:18
ignition the transmission was in parked
00:02:23
beside the truck
00:02:25
lay its owner a 45 year old woman named
00:02:27
K Holly
00:02:28
crushed to death
00:02:32
whoever operated the vehicle appeared to
00:02:35
have backed over the center of her torso
00:02:37
and probably on the bump from rolling
00:02:40
over her with the left rear tire of the
00:02:42
truck then applied the brake suddenly
00:02:44
causing the vehicle to skid going
00:02:46
backwards the front tire of the left
00:02:48
front tire then caught her torso and
00:02:50
pulled her backwards slightly and
00:02:52
twisted her body on the roadway which is
00:02:54
how she was found with the vehicle in
00:02:56
park and the engine still running after
00:03:00
their preliminary investigation
00:03:02
authorities began to suspect that Kay's
00:03:04
husband Bob had murdered her they
00:03:06
believe he had a possible motive for
00:03:08
wanting Kay dead as he stood to collect
00:03:10
part of $50,000 that she had inherited
00:03:12
the same day she died
00:03:14
Bob Hall also had no alibi for the
00:03:17
period of time when Kay was killed all I
00:03:22
perceive is that the investigation has
00:03:27
focused only on me and that I don't see
00:03:32
any effort on anyone's part to look into
00:03:37
the other possibilities the death of Kay
00:03:41
Hall is surrounded by events that seem
00:03:42
to simultaneously indict and exonerate
00:03:45
the prime suspect this reason Bob Hall
00:03:48
remains a free man
00:03:49
the case against him rests on time an
00:03:52
approximately 20 minute window of
00:03:54
opportunity when Bob Hall could have
00:03:55
stalked and run down his wife Bob Hall
00:03:58
feety consented to appear in the story
00:04:00
hoping it through it's telling his
00:04:02
innocence will finally be established
00:04:07
Kay and Bob Hall lived and worked on the
00:04:10
shores of Virginia's karaduman River a
00:04:12
tributary that empties near the western
00:04:14
shore of the Chesapeake Bay Kay was a
00:04:18
successful insurance executive he left
00:04:20
her career when she and Bob started an
00:04:22
oyster farm
00:04:25
they have been married since July of
00:04:27
1985
00:04:29
okay had known Bob for 12 years the two
00:04:32
became closer while Bob was serving two
00:04:34
years in jail for selling drugs she
00:04:38
corresponded with him while he was in
00:04:40
prison Lenny was released in January of
00:04:43
1982 kay was waiting it was quite an
00:04:48
experience that Saturday morning was
00:04:50
raining now it's about 7:30 and Kay
00:04:54
pulled up in her little fiesta and could
00:04:56
see the car way off in the distance and
00:04:58
her waving at me and between us was a
00:05:00
very large electrical fence and she very
00:05:03
laughingly said to me hey you Robert I
00:05:06
finally got you at last and that was a
00:05:08
that was a good feeling it was nice to
00:05:10
feel wanted by somebody six months after
00:05:16
the couple started their business it
00:05:17
began to run into financial difficulty
00:05:20
by many accounts this contributed to
00:05:23
tensions in the marriage both began to
00:05:27
drink heavily as time went on I'd ask
00:05:32
how's the business going and I can tell
00:05:35
it wasn't going so well and then I'd say
00:05:37
well in house Bob and I could tell that
00:05:40
wasn't so good either according to
00:05:47
friends Kay and Bob's quarrels often
00:05:49
began over a trivial incident taking the
00:05:52
Jeep or taking the truck because you got
00:05:55
the DWI energy Katie called me in the
00:05:58
summer of 1986
00:05:59
and she started crying and she said Bob
00:06:04
is abusing me and that's when she
00:06:11
started to talk about going back to
00:06:13
therapy trying to get into marriage
00:06:14
counseling with Bob and if that didn't
00:06:17
work that she would definitely consider
00:06:19
divorce conversation about divorce
00:06:24
probably came up as frequently as it
00:06:26
would in any couple's relationship where
00:06:30
there were problems and the problems
00:06:31
were essentially money the the oyster
00:06:35
business had not treated us with great
00:06:36
kindness we had lost an awful lot
00:06:38
my heart on September 30th 1987 Kay's
00:06:42
fortunes turn she had recently received
00:06:47
a $50,000 inheritance and a local post
00:06:50
office she mailed papers had officially
00:06:52
transferred half of the money into her
00:06:54
account that morning was to be Kay halls
00:06:58
last
00:07:05
that even KN Bob went to a party at the
00:07:08
local Country Club many of Kay's friends
00:07:11
were there and by all accounts she was
00:07:13
the life of the party we got to the
00:07:17
party probably around 20 after sex and
00:07:20
Kay was I know it's thoroughly enjoying
00:07:22
herself you could just see the magic you
00:07:25
know Kay walked in and all of these
00:07:27
faces just seemed to turn there's Kay
00:07:29
and all of a sudden things seem to be
00:07:31
completely progressed Qian Bob continued
00:07:40
to drink then K became upset some say by
00:07:49
the amount of Bob tipped the bartender
00:07:51
he left the country club without her
00:07:53
husband and drove away in their pickup a
00:07:55
few minutes later as he was left without
00:07:58
a car
00:07:58
bob was driven the 14 miles to his home
00:08:01
by friends
00:08:08
at approximately 9:55 p.m. two carloads
00:08:11
of people leaving a different dinner
00:08:13
party happened upon a shocking scene
00:08:16
there was a truck sitting there off to
00:08:20
the side of the road with the lights on
00:08:23
and there was a body
00:08:29
we felt her pulse to see whether she had
00:08:34
a pulse we couldn't find one but that
00:08:37
was when we discovered that she was just
00:08:39
as warm as you and I are right now so
00:08:43
she what what had happened had just
00:08:46
happened very very recently by the time
00:08:51
the paramedics arrived it was too late a
00:08:54
little over two hours after leaving the
00:08:56
country-club cave Hall was pronounced
00:08:59
dead the reconstruction from witnesses
00:09:02
at the scene was that she had been found
00:09:04
under the left front tire of her own
00:09:06
vehicle apparently the vehicle had
00:09:08
backed over her while she was lying on
00:09:11
the road there were some signs which we
00:09:14
later found in the truck that indicated
00:09:16
there was a scuffle inside the cab of
00:09:17
the truck but Kay's purse was still
00:09:21
intact had all her money and credit
00:09:22
cards and so forth in it also it did not
00:09:25
appear that there was any sign of a
00:09:27
sexual assault she was fully clothed the
00:09:31
autopsy results showed that she was
00:09:33
intoxicated at the time of her death a
00:09:35
rather high level she very well could
00:09:38
have been disoriented which would have
00:09:40
caused her to have taken the wrong turn
00:09:41
and might have put her in the area where
00:09:43
she was found Bob and Kay's domestic
00:09:47
problems coupled with a $50,000 and she
00:09:49
had just inherited led to Bob Hall being
00:09:52
considered a prime suspect
00:09:56
Bob Hall has no alibi for the
00:09:59
approximate one-hour period between the
00:10:00
time friends dropped him off at home at
00:10:02
about 8:45 the time that he placed a
00:10:05
phone call from his house at 9:47 during
00:10:08
this hour kay was killed if Bob had
00:10:10
murdered her it only could have occurred
00:10:13
within a narrow period of time shortly
00:10:16
after 8:00 p.m. Kay left the Country
00:10:18
Club located here bob was dropped off at
00:10:21
his home here 15 miles from the club at
00:10:24
8:45 p.m. just over an hour later at
00:10:27
approximately 9:55 p.m. kay was found
00:10:30
dead at this spot just two miles from
00:10:32
the club Bob Hall would have had only
00:10:35
one hour to drive to the murder site
00:10:36
somehow find his wife in the darkness
00:10:39
kill her and then race back home in time
00:10:42
to place his 9:47 p.m. phone call
00:10:46
special agent Riley he retraced the
00:10:49
drive from the hall hole to the death
00:10:51
site several times I measured the
00:10:56
distance between the hall residence and
00:10:58
the spot where Kay was found in the
00:11:00
distance is between 14 and 15 miles I
00:11:04
can drive it in as little as 17 minutes
00:11:07
if I drove it in a pursuit fashion if I
00:11:09
drove at a leisurely pace it took as
00:11:11
much as 24 minutes
00:11:15
if Bob had left home immediately at 8:45
00:11:18
and driven directly to where Kay's body
00:11:20
was found he would have arrived at about
00:11:23
905 in order to make his 947 phone call
00:11:29
Paul would have had to have left the
00:11:31
scene no later than 9:30 p.m. this would
00:11:34
have given him no more than 25 minutes
00:11:37
to track down and murder his wife
00:11:41
it's terrible to have somebody taken
00:11:43
from you in this way and particularly
00:11:44
when nobody has been able to do anything
00:11:46
about it so I really I don't know that
00:11:51
that I can rest until we till we see
00:11:54
justice served and the murderer is
00:11:58
apprehended and convicted
00:12:03
they apparently do not have any any
00:12:07
anyone else to to focus in on and being
00:12:11
put in that spotlight has been tough I
00:12:15
love Kay I'm looking forward to this
00:12:19
this whole incident being resolved I'd
00:12:23
like to see you know K to literally be
00:12:26
put at graft and have some peace in my
00:12:29
life and in her family life
00:12:34
[Music]
00:12:47
in a moment we'll update the story of an
00:12:50
injured Vietnam vet who for 21 years has
00:12:53
been searching for the nurse who helped
00:12:54
him learn to walk and talk
00:12:59
[Music]
00:13:06
three weeks ago we presented the
00:13:07
poignant story of an army helicopter
00:13:09
pilot Jim Meade who was severely injured
00:13:11
when he was shot down in Vietnam in 1967
00:13:15
tonight the heartwarming ending to Jim's
00:13:17
story
00:13:20
Jim's war wounds left him in a coma from
00:13:23
which doctors feared he would never
00:13:24
recover Jim eventually came out of his
00:13:29
corner but had no memory of his first 19
00:13:31
years yet even forgotten how to walk and
00:13:34
talk then he met an army physical
00:13:36
therapist Maine lieutenant Stevens I
00:13:39
know you're hurting but you can't give
00:13:43
up straighten it up come on work hard
00:13:48
come on for the next nine months help an
00:13:52
encouragement of lieutenant Stevens Jim
00:13:54
struggled to regain his speech and motor
00:13:56
skills I don't know if I would have
00:14:01
learned to do these things without her I
00:14:03
always wanted to get better learn things
00:14:08
so I can show her how much had improved
00:14:11
it was always important to me
00:14:16
nearly one year after Jim arrived at the
00:14:18
hospital lieutenant Stephens left the
00:14:20
army she never saw Jim again or had any
00:14:23
idea that she set him on the path to
00:14:25
recovery if I saw her now I don't know
00:14:28
what I did I just know this it's always
00:14:32
been important for me that she knows
00:14:36
that I'm okay the morning after our
00:14:41
broadcast
00:14:42
Jimmy's 15 years search came to an end
00:14:44
when he received a phone call from one
00:14:46
of our viewers I was watching TV and I
00:14:51
saw Jim at the beginning of the program
00:14:53
and I said to my family I treated that
00:14:59
fella when I was in the service and the
00:15:02
next remark was that they were looking
00:15:05
for lieutenant Stevens and I thought
00:15:07
well that was my maiden name and at that
00:15:10
point I realized that this was going to
00:15:12
be more than just a program to watch on
00:15:17
September 25th nearly 21 years after
00:15:20
they said goodbye Jim and Karen
00:15:23
really
00:15:25
[Music]
00:15:34
when Karen came to the door I went to
00:15:37
know if somebody else are they might say
00:15:42
that Karen's changed 200% and my heart
00:15:47
Karen hasn't changed a bit
00:15:49
[Music]
00:15:52
and I'm glad to tell her thank you the
00:15:58
reunion today has been everything I
00:16:00
expected it to be
00:16:01
it's it will stand out as one of the
00:16:03
most exciting days of my life it's
00:16:06
thrilling to see someone that has come
00:16:09
back so far and made a success of their
00:16:12
life but a lot of people had a lot to do
00:16:18
with Jim Meade's recovery and I was just
00:16:21
a small part
00:16:22
[Music]
00:16:24
you'll be very difficult for me to put
00:16:26
into words what this day is meant to me
00:16:28
it just makes the future that much
00:16:32
brighter because I do know that now the
00:16:36
dreams do come true
00:16:37
[Music]
00:16:47
New Yorkers have a reputation for being
00:16:49
streetwise and sanity they can take care
00:16:52
of themselves no one is gonna pull a
00:16:54
fast one on them yet each year New
00:16:56
Yorkers lose four times more money to
00:16:59
scams and con men than to bank robbers
00:17:01
over the past 15 years at least 5,000
00:17:04
people have fallen prey to a very clever
00:17:05
highly organised scam Jerry diner was a
00:17:09
typical unsuspecting victim I was at a
00:17:12
telephone in Midtown outside and as I
00:17:15
finished up my call okay I come to me
00:17:18
sounded kind of tricky to me excuse me
00:17:20
yeah I just found this bank envelope on
00:17:23
the street and this was inside of it I
00:17:24
was wondering if you'd do me a favor
00:17:26
could you call this guy up and tell him
00:17:29
I had found this because I want to give
00:17:30
it back to him and he's holding a bank
00:17:32
deposit envelope and it's got dr. stone
00:17:35
and the address and in his other hand
00:17:37
he's got these coins he couldn't make
00:17:40
the telephone call herself I finally get
00:17:44
the doctor on the phone and I said I
00:17:47
don't know how to explain this to you
00:17:56
[Music]
00:17:58
and I said doctor I don't know what to
00:18:01
do here and the doctor says look if you
00:18:03
could give him $100 then you know I'll
00:18:07
add that hundred dollars on to there's a
00:18:09
thousand dollar reward so I said I don't
00:18:16
know what to do here you know he won't
00:18:18
come to you can you come down here and
00:18:20
doctor says he can't come down there
00:18:21
okay I certainly would appreciate it
00:18:25
thank you very much as it turned out the
00:18:29
phone number Jerry dialed was not a
00:18:30
doctor's office but a payphone and a man
00:18:33
he spoke with was a con artist
00:18:37
what allowed me to be scale was that it
00:18:41
was totally non-threatening it was
00:18:44
always up to me I could walk away or I
00:18:47
could go for that next step further when
00:18:49
he was really drunk at the telephone I
00:18:51
could have just said look I can't handle
00:18:53
this dr. stump boom I'm out of here Joe
00:18:56
what look how much do you want for those
00:18:58
coins I just want a place to stay
00:19:00
something to drink so I understand that
00:19:02
and understands but exactly how much do
00:19:04
you want for the coins a hundred odds
00:19:06
all right look here's what I'll do I'll
00:19:08
take you over to my bank machine and
00:19:09
I'll get you a hundred dollars and I'll
00:19:11
take the coins over to the doctor you do
00:19:13
that for me yeah sure oh you wanna sing
00:19:16
come on and I give him a hundred and
00:19:18
sixty dollars I mean it's worth it to
00:19:20
give him the extra money and I'd like to
00:19:22
say that you know that I'm like really a
00:19:23
good person and that there was no greed
00:19:26
involved but it was kind of like an
00:19:28
illegal thing that was going on because
00:19:30
I was gonna take those coins I'm giving
00:19:33
him a hundred and sixty but you know I'm
00:19:35
gonna make five times that so yes there
00:19:38
was you know that illicit kind of
00:19:41
feeling of you know I'm doing something
00:19:43
a little weird here and you know now I'm
00:19:46
gonna get away with it in the scam a
00:19:50
conman carefully selects people who
00:19:52
appear to be affluent or who might be
00:19:54
able to easily get cash from a bank
00:19:56
teller machine once the fake transaction
00:19:59
has gone down he simply disappears into
00:20:02
the crowd I don't know anything about
00:20:04
coins so I thought I was doing a favor
00:20:06
for the doctor but in the cab I looked
00:20:08
at the coins and it said rare on the
00:20:09
coins but then it listed the amounts and
00:20:12
one was thirteen fifty one was six
00:20:15
hundred and one was like three hundred
00:20:17
and I'm going why would he offer a
00:20:18
thousand dollar reward for coins that
00:20:20
are only worth like two thousand that
00:20:22
seemed like a little weird to me but I
00:20:23
figured well they really mean something
00:20:25
to this guy
00:20:28
most of the people taken in by the scam
00:20:30
are sent to the same apartment building
00:20:32
on the Upper East Side which they
00:20:34
believe to be dr. Stone's office hi I'm
00:20:38
looking for dr. stone
00:20:40
well I'm sorry there's no dr. stone here
00:20:42
in the last few years we've estimated
00:20:44
that about three or four thousand people
00:20:47
have actually come here with this coin
00:20:49
scam
00:20:49
a lot of the times when these victims
00:20:51
come here they believe that in some way
00:20:54
myself or whoever else is working here
00:20:56
that's in the lobby is an accomplice to
00:20:59
this and you know I always try to
00:21:01
explain to them if I was running this
00:21:03
scam when I actually bring you back to
00:21:04
me I never thought that I was being
00:21:08
scanned for one second not even for a
00:21:10
millisecond I was just caught up in this
00:21:13
I really felt like I was doing a good
00:21:17
deed and making money at the same time
00:21:20
the simple the plausible scam has
00:21:23
suckered people in New York Florida
00:21:24
Boston and Baltimore in most cases are
00:21:27
coins a disorder like these an English
00:21:29
25 pence worth about thirty five cents a
00:21:32
fake California Gold Rush coin which is
00:21:34
totally worthless and their Indian penny
00:21:37
worth no more than 50 cents a total
00:21:40
value of these three coins is no more
00:21:41
than one dollar if you're approached by
00:21:44
one of these con artists for heaven's
00:21:45
sake don't buy these coins immediately

the Humane Society of the United States
00:22:10
estimates that last year alone over 12
00:22:12
million stray and abandoned cats and
00:22:14
dogs were taken and by animal shelters
00:22:16
nationwide sadly over seven and a half
00:22:18
million of these animals were never
00:22:21
placed in homes and had to be destroyed
00:22:22
in southern Missouri 68 year-old Mable
00:22:25
woods has dedicated the past 15 years of
00:22:28
her life to running an animal sanctuary
00:22:29
that provides a loving and caring home
00:22:32
for dogs that might otherwise be impound
00:22:34
but in recent years maple in the dog she
00:22:37
cares for have been the target of a
00:22:39
campaign of terror how long have you
00:22:42
been on the road for two half years
00:22:45
Mabel moved to the small rural community
00:22:48
of bond tear located 60 miles south of
00:22:50
st. Louis I was raised on a farm I
00:22:55
always loved animals my dream was always
00:22:59
to have lots of mass of animals oh
00:23:03
you're beautiful
00:23:05
where did you come from we're gonna go
00:23:09
home with me let's take you home
00:23:11
give me something to eat every time I
00:23:14
would go to the store I would see strays
00:23:16
well it ruined the whole evening if I
00:23:18
saw a dog that was obviously lost
00:23:22
finally I fulfilled my dream of having a
00:23:25
place I could keep them and I can't take
00:23:29
all the strays of course but I take a
00:23:30
great many
00:23:32
Mabel bought a 110 acre farm and built a
00:23:35
$60,000 kennel to house many of the 115
00:23:38
dogs she was caring for the dogs were
00:23:41
offered for adoption but those that
00:23:43
didn't find new homes lived out their
00:23:45
lives on the sanctuary
00:23:48
Mabel felt the farm was an ideal
00:23:50
location because her nearest neighbors
00:23:52
are over a mile away would not be
00:23:54
disturbed by the dogs 18 months after
00:24:18
she moved to the farm labels peaceful
00:24:20
life was shattered on the night of
00:24:24
December 11th 1986 someone broke into
00:24:28
Mabel's Canada 40 caliber rifle killing
00:24:55
two dogs seriously wounding two others
00:25:00
the next morning when I went up to open
00:25:03
the kennel I found my dogs dead in the
00:25:06
beginning I thought oh there's been a
00:25:09
fight they killed each other but as I
00:25:11
looked I realized that they had been
00:25:14
shot and I rushed two of them when a big
00:25:19
collie to the vet and he was saved well
00:25:23
he was shot right in the right in the
00:25:25
nose it's a miracle that he's even
00:25:28
living because he was laying in a pool
00:25:29
of blood when I found him I was upset
00:25:33
about it and I called the sheriff's
00:25:35
office but I knew there was nothing
00:25:37
really nothing that could be done at
00:25:39
that point probably police officials
00:25:42
investigated the shooting but because
00:25:44
the killing of an
00:25:45
a misdemeanor the case was given a low
00:25:48
priority after the shooter mabel hired
00:25:52
Charlie Jacobs to help her on the kennel
00:25:55
Charlie moved into the guesthouse and
00:25:57
doubled as a hired hand and night
00:25:58
watchman for two months nothing unusual
00:26:06
happened Mabel and Charlie settled into
00:26:09
a comfortable routine on the night of
00:26:20
February 10th 1987 Charlie made his
00:26:23
final rounds as usual I walked back down
00:26:33
just stopped at her burn turn the light
00:26:36
off there and walked on down to brides
00:26:41
where I met Mabel we talked for a few
00:26:42
minutes and turn the lights off air
00:26:43
again around 1:00 a.m. Charlie was in
00:26:48
his kitchen when he noticed a bright
00:26:49
orange glow through the window
00:26:55
50 yards away the kennel was inflamed
00:27:10
all of our gals over
00:27:15
[Music]
00:27:19
the time charlie reached the channel was
00:27:22
completely engulfed in flames inside was
00:27:25
sixty dogs they had no way to escape
00:27:32
there's awful things are real hand here
00:27:36
a few wrong so long
00:27:38
the place is on fire there's like a
00:27:39
inferno
00:27:41
[Music]
00:27:43
Charlie managed to pull one half planes
00:27:46
but could do nothing to say the other 59
00:28:03
[Applause]
00:28:08
there was no reason for the kennel to
00:28:11
burn because mikela was so new a great
00:28:14
deal of it was green lumber the dog
00:28:16
houses were burning from the inside not
00:28:18
outside from inside I knew it had to be
00:28:22
arson because the dogs were blazing
00:28:24
which they would not have been without
00:28:25
something
00:28:28
fire officials told laden with the blaze
00:28:31
had first been reported by a neighbor a
00:28:33
fire was so intense that it set off
00:28:36
smoke alarms and homes over a mile away
00:28:38
any proud have you noticed anybody
00:28:43
around the property that's hidden around
00:28:46
all I could think of is why anyone would
00:28:53
do such a thing
00:28:56
also the fact that the last thing I've
00:29:00
always done is tell the dogs I'm glad
00:29:03
I've got them and that they're safe as I
00:29:14
watch the kennel come down to the ground
00:29:17
had realized that my dogs were all dead
00:29:18
I couldn't I just didn't realize why
00:29:23
anyone would do that there just wasn't
00:29:26
anything left except few scraps of metal
00:29:29
in the country
00:29:32
[Applause]
00:29:40
four days after the blade the local
00:29:43
volunteer fire department began an
00:29:45
investigation headed by investigator
00:29:47
Charlie Giza we went to interview the
00:29:53
local people and a lot of people were
00:29:55
surprised that she even existed back on
00:29:58
this farm
00:29:58
nobody knew Mabel woods was back here
00:30:01
look charge your lines and then get this
00:30:04
cleaned off
00:30:06
[Applause]
00:30:11
we wanted to clean off the debris of the
00:30:16
barn to get a look at the floor we start
00:30:20
to see a pattern is called Spalding
00:30:22
developing spawning occurs when a
00:30:25
flammable substance is ignited on
00:30:27
concrete the extreme heat causes the
00:30:30
concrete to crack Rodya this pattern is
00:30:34
not normal in a fire and left to to the
00:30:37
assumption that the fire was set with a
00:30:38
flammable liquid we believe that not
00:30:45
that the suspect entered the building
00:30:47
through the door they used normally to
00:30:50
get between the two rolls of pens
00:30:52
[Music]
00:31:04
he entered the building board a
00:31:07
flammable liquid down the walls as he
00:31:10
went in the hallway led to a bigger open
00:31:12
area at the far end he continued pouring
00:31:15
the wall at that point that's probably
00:31:20
when he lived and then he took off
00:31:22
[Music]
00:31:31
once it was determined that arson were
00:31:33
the cause of the fire police officials
00:31:36
joined the investigation 100 yards from
00:31:41
where the kennel once stood they found a
00:31:43
tire track in the mud my left out in
00:31:47
hurry
00:31:48
they made a plaster mold of this track
00:31:50
it and the spawning patterns burned into
00:31:53
the kennel floor are the only evidence
00:31:55
police have in this case we don't have
00:32:04
any suspects that haven't been
00:32:05
eliminated most of the people that
00:32:10
you've had in this part of the country
00:32:12
hard dog lovers we have dogs we have
00:32:15
hunting dogs
00:32:16
we care a lot about our dog there's
00:32:19
people in this county who would shoot
00:32:21
you a whole lot quicker over there dog
00:32:23
than they would away within ten months
00:32:27
of the fire Mabel had built a loot
00:32:28
kennel she is still haunted by the
00:32:31
memory of that tragic night he fears
00:32:33
that whoever was responsible may strike
00:32:36
again at any time when I rebuilt my
00:32:40
kennel I built it right onto my house so
00:32:44
it's hard to tell where where my
00:32:46
territory ends and the dogs begin and
00:32:50
then to make them even safer I built an
00:32:54
8 foot masonry wall all the way around I
00:32:57
know someone could scale it but also at
00:33:01
night or if I'm gone I have a couple of
00:33:03
big dogs that I let out and the dogs do
00:33:07
not like people our concern for Mabel
00:33:12
safety is an ongoing thing we keep an
00:33:15
eye on that lady
00:33:16
we keep an eye on her probably Mabel's
00:33:20
unknown enemies have continued to
00:33:22
terrorize her in the two-and-a-half
00:33:24
years since the fire 40 pounds of nails
00:33:27
have been spread across her driveway she
00:33:30
has received numerous death threats on
00:33:31
the phone on two separate occasions her
00:33:34
house has been shot at and just recently
00:33:36
graffiti with a sinister warning quiet
00:33:40
or die was painted across the entrance
00:33:43
sign to her kennel
00:33:47
Mabel's friends and family fear for her
00:33:49
safety
00:33:50
they have urged her to move but Mabel is
00:33:53
determined to stay I thought about it
00:33:57
and I decided this was a perfect farm
00:34:00
it's it's very pretty I've got the creek
00:34:02
which I love I decided I am NOT going to
00:34:05
leave it is my farm I bought it paid for
00:34:08
it and I'm staying in a moment a story
00:34:13
of five Hawaiian fisherman who vanished
00:34:15
in a severe storm almost 10 years later
00:34:17
clues to their fate were found on a
00:34:19
remote Pacific island 3,000 miles away
00:34:22
did some of the crews survive the
00:34:35
Hawaiian island of Maui one of the
00:34:37
nation's most beautiful tourist centers
00:34:40
but Maui is also dotted with tiny
00:34:43
villages dependent on the unpredictable
00:34:45
Pacific for their livelihood one of
00:34:49
these traditional fishing villages is
00:34:50
Hana a town of approximately 1,200
00:34:53
people located on Maui southeast shore
00:34:58
February 11th 1979 on the spur of the
00:35:02
moment five local men took the day off
00:35:04
planning on a few hours pleasure fishing
00:35:06
in a 17-foot Boston Whaler the Sarah Jo
00:35:10
when they left at about 10:00 in the
00:35:12
morning the water was very calm and it
00:35:17
was a nice clear day and
00:35:20
they gathered their equipment together
00:35:22
and prepared the whole time
00:35:26

00:35:30

between them the men had over 50 years
00:35:42
of seagoing experience amalya kini
00:35:45
earned his living is a professional
00:35:47
fisherman as a Sarah Joe left the harbor
00:35:52
the weather was fair but a 1 p.m. of
00:36:00
freak wind swept in from the mountains
00:36:02
the first warning that a storm was about
00:36:04
to strike the storm as dangerous as it
00:36:07
was unexpected the wind switching around
00:36:12
instead of coming from the normal
00:36:14
direction which is from the
00:36:15
east-northeast it switched them came
00:36:17
from mountains going out to sea and this
00:36:20
concerned me a great deal so I told Dave
00:36:23
say we've got to get down the coast see
00:36:25
if we can spot those poison waived the
00:36:27
men within hours the storm arrived in
00:36:31
all of his fury John Hansen went out
00:36:33
into the teeth of the gale the search
00:36:35
for the Sarah Joe and his son Peter by
00:36:39
this time was really
00:36:40
going again and the rain was been come
00:36:43
down it was storming and we went out a
00:36:46
Hana haba about a half a mile and then
00:36:48
down the coast and I still didn't see
00:36:51
any sign of the voice but it was a very
00:36:53
rough trip my oceans were fierce I'd
00:36:57
never seen him get that rough hand
00:37:04
should continued his search the next day
00:37:05
with the help of marine biologist John
00:37:07
Norton made quite an impression on me to
00:37:10
see to think that this man was out all
00:37:13
day yesterday and in 30 to 40 knot winds
00:37:17
and 20 to 25-foot seas in this channel
00:37:19
looking for his for his son he's you're
00:37:23
hoping coming in that someone had seen
00:37:26
something during the day and they'd have
00:37:28
some encouraging news but they had the
00:37:30
same news that we brought him that was a
00:37:31
no sign of the boys no sign of the boat
00:37:34
no sign of any anything the next day the
00:37:40
Coast Guard continued the search of the
00:37:42
Sara Joan the initial place where you
00:37:45
start searching was very ill-defined
00:37:46
because we weren't really sure exactly
00:37:48
where the Sergio had gone fishing so it
00:37:51
encompassed a relatively large area
00:37:54
initially that first day and then the
00:37:57
area gets bigger and bigger bigger when
00:37:59
the conditions are rough I was very
00:38:00
difficult whether you're in the air are
00:38:01
in the on the water and combine that
00:38:04
with the fact that the Sara Joe was was
00:38:06
a turquoise blue color with white trim
00:38:09
in an ocean that's turquoise blue with
00:38:11
white Whitecaps who had been very very
00:38:13
difficult when the search was finally
00:38:16
suspended five days later we have
00:38:18
searched 73,000 square miles
00:38:21
[Music]
00:38:26
during the following weeks the residents
00:38:29
of Hana combed the nearby beaches
00:38:30
looking for the wreckage of the Sarah Jo
00:38:33
[Music]
00:38:36
finally they gave up the search they
00:38:39
never gave up hope
00:38:43
these people are not going to become
00:38:45
obsessed with impossibilities but on the
00:38:50
other hand they don't forget Heavenly
00:38:54
Father the SD to be amongst us
00:38:59
as we unify to commemorate the 10th
00:39:03
anniversary of the Sarah Jones
00:39:05
disappearance the family and friends of
00:39:07
the missing sailors gathered on the pier
00:39:09
the five men departed help us to
00:39:12
understand when we have all been through
00:39:15
as time passed it seemed that memories
00:39:18
are all that were left of the missing
00:39:19
men and the Sarah Joe
00:39:21
[Music]
00:39:27
[Music]
00:39:29
a September the 9th 1988 the story of
00:39:32
the Sarah Joe took a bizarre turn ten
00:39:38
years after the tiny boat disappeared in
00:39:40
two thousand miles west of Maui in the
00:39:42
Marshall Islands a wrecked boat was
00:39:44
spotted on a tiny island at all of
00:39:46
Tianyi incredibly the man who first saw
00:39:50
it was John Martin the marine biologist
00:39:52
who would search for the Sarah Joe back
00:39:54
in 1979 but first we thought it was a
00:39:58
boat moored offshore so we approached
00:40:01
closer and then we saw that it was a
00:40:03
what looked to be a battered small boat
00:40:07
on the island itself Norton and his crew
00:40:13
landed to examine the wreckage as we
00:40:16
rounded a bend in the island on the
00:40:18
windward side there we could see the
00:40:20
white column of the boat and on the
00:40:23
starboard bow
00:40:25
there was still a few letters and
00:40:26
numbers from the registration number and
00:40:30
immediately I saw the that started with
00:40:32
an H a which indicates that the boat was
00:40:34
registered in the Hawaiian Islands which
00:40:36
of course is over over 2,000 miles away
00:40:39
approximately 60 yards away from the
00:40:41
wreckage
00:40:42
not this companions discovered a
00:40:43
makeshift grave we walked over there and
00:40:47
they were standing over a pile of coral
00:40:50
rocks with a crude wooden cross sticking
00:40:54
out of it and when we got up there we
00:40:58
could see immediately that there was a
00:40:59
human jaw bone protruding out of the
00:41:02
pile of rocks at that time we had no way
00:41:06
of knowing that the gravesite was
00:41:08
associated with the wreck Whaler
00:41:09
although we had a fairly good we had a
00:41:11
we had a feeling that it may be because
00:41:13
it was in such close proximity somebody
00:41:16
obviously had to bury the guy and and
00:41:18
they may still be on the island here
00:41:19
Amen found no evidence that the island
00:41:21
was inhabited Naughton recorded the
00:41:24
registration numbers of the waiter and
00:41:26
left the site undisturbed the coastguard
00:41:30
ran a check of these numbers and made a
00:41:32
positive identification the whaler was
00:41:35
is Sarah Joe it was so amazing that not
00:41:39
would end up finding the boat and they
00:41:42
grave and things like that I haven't I
00:41:45
hadn't seen him in the meantime
00:41:48
laughter the Coast Guard identification
00:41:50
of the wreckage the grave was excavated
00:41:52
and a partial human skeleton was
00:41:54
uncovered dental records revealed that
00:41:58
the remains were those of one of the
00:42:00
five missing men Scott Morman another
00:42:05
strange clue surfaced when unusual
00:42:07
pieces of paper were discovered in the
00:42:09
grave these papers have been buried
00:42:12
deliberately it was a sheaf of paper and
00:42:16
I'd say a book except that was not bound
00:42:17
probably three inches by three inches by
00:42:20
maybe three quarters of an inch thick
00:42:22
but between each one of these pieces of
00:42:24
paper there was a very small square
00:42:28
piece of tin foil material we have not
00:42:31
be able determined to place that there
00:42:33
or or what purpose it serves experts
00:42:37
agree that the Sarah Joe could have
00:42:39
drifted the 2,000 miles to the Marshall
00:42:41
Islands a chain of tiny islands on the
00:42:43
western Pacific
00:42:45
this void should have taken three months
00:42:47
but according to the brother of one of
00:42:49
the missing men a US government survey
00:42:52
of Tianyi in 1985 found no trace of the
00:42:55
Sarah Jo if this is true then where was
00:43:00
a Sarah Jo during the six years between
00:43:02
its 1979 disappearance and this 1985
00:43:06
survey in 1985 he said there was no
00:43:10
sewage or no surgeon on duty on the
00:43:13
island where was the suture
00:43:17
what happened to the Sarah Joe during
00:43:19
these six last year's where were the
00:43:22
five missing men who buries Scott Mormon
00:43:25
and why and perhaps most importantly
00:43:30
could any of the men still be alive
00:43:34
every time I look at the ocean
00:43:37
my thoughts Goodley I see him way out
00:43:42
you know island someplace I live and
00:43:48
waited we want to know what happened to
00:43:52
the other boys were they on that island
00:43:55
with the boat and with Scott what maybe
00:44:00
someone around has some information they
00:44:02
can enlighten us on that
00:44:05
[Music]
00:44:09
finally tonight another edition of FBI
00:44:11
alert the FBI hopes is someone in our
00:44:14
audience can help solve a particularly
00:44:16
shocking crime committed just last month
00:44:18
the kidnapping of a baby boy only three
00:44:21
days old
00:44:23
Avery James Norris was born last
00:44:26
September 18th at Sinai Hospital in
00:44:28
Baltimore Maryland at 11:30 on the
00:44:31
morning of September 21st a woman
00:44:33
disguised as a nurse entered the
00:44:35
maternity ward and encountered Avery
00:44:37
with his mother Linda Norris in her
00:44:38
hospital
00:44:39
apparently familiar with hospital
00:44:41
routines she instructed Linda to hand
00:44:43
her the baby and returned to bed for a
00:44:46
physical examination after pulling the
00:44:48
privacy curtain around the bed the woman
00:44:51
and Avery disappeared this has really
00:44:54
been I guess one of the hardest things I
00:44:56
have to ever have to face in my life I
00:44:59
can't imagine going on from day to day
00:45:02
without having him back Avery weighed 8
00:45:05
pounds 12 ounces at birth
00:45:07
his circumsized and has an oval
00:45:09
birthmark on the inside at the top of
00:45:11
his right leg his alleged kidnapper has
00:45:14
been described as a light-skinned black
00:45:15
female and may be Pakistani or Indian
00:45:18
she is 30 to 35 years old 125 pounds
00:45:22
with a stocky build and shoulder-length
00:45:24
black hair we believe that the
00:45:27
individual who abducted Avery Norris is
00:45:29
a person who has an emotional need the
00:45:32
individual may change the appearance of
00:45:33
the child but she's still going to be
00:45:36
proud of this child and she's gonna want
00:45:38
to let individuals know that she does
00:45:39
happen
00:45:40
