he
00:01:33
in the South American country of
00:01:35
Colombia a life and death struggle has
00:01:38
been raging for decades it's a battle
00:01:42
over drugs and drugs mean money and
00:01:46
power here drug cartels have made
00:01:49
terrorism and political assassination a
00:01:51
way of life their violent influence is
00:01:55
felt around the world especially in the
00:01:58
US
00:02:00
the cartels the leaders of the cartels
00:02:03
the members of the cartels in South
00:02:04
America and their representatives in the
00:02:07
United States are particularly vicious
00:02:09
there is no premium on human
00:02:12
life these people make the mafia look
00:02:16
like Boy Scouts they are totally violent
00:02:20
they will kill almost for the sake of
00:02:24
killing nearly 80% of the world's
00:02:27
cocaine comes from Colombia and and the
00:02:30
drug lords and to keep it that way to
00:02:32
fight the cartels the FBI initiated one
00:02:35
of the riskiest sting operations in
00:02:37
history the impact of that investigation
00:02:41
continues to this
00:02:43
day during the late 1980s drug Runners
00:02:47
sought out the latest communication
00:02:49
devices especially ones that could not
00:02:51
be traced FBI agents set up a small shop
00:02:55
called ra Communications that
00:02:58
specialized in electronics
00:03:00
their first customers were quick to
00:03:03
arrive have some information on youren
00:03:05
PHS okay well we sell and service
00:03:08
cellular phones we also service beepers
00:03:10
and sell beepers the receptionist Sandy
00:03:13
and the manager Jay were both highly
00:03:15
trained FBI agents okay these gentlemen
00:03:18
would like to know about
00:03:25
our well do me a favor take messages
00:03:28
okay the drug Runners came asking for
00:03:30
the latest in car phones shift toore
00:03:32
radios beepers remote phones and
00:03:36
airplane telecommunication
00:03:40
devices we did everything we could to
00:03:43
provide
00:03:44
them if I so doing of course we knew how
00:03:48
they were operating we knew what
00:03:49
frequencies they were operating on and
00:03:51
it gave us the leg
00:03:55
up word on the street was that ra
00:03:57
Communications had the best in
00:04:00
untraceable phones the drug Runners
00:04:02
began to trust the people who work there
00:04:06
this is the topof the line state of the
00:04:07
art unit we held ourselves out as being
00:04:10
a service component of the drug business
00:04:13
uh we made it attractive for them to
00:04:15
remain talk Converse and that became a
00:04:19
place to congregate it took on an AA of
00:04:21
a clubhouse type of effect our clientele
00:04:24
probably 6 months into the operation was
00:04:26
entirely drug
00:04:27
traffickers soon major players in the
00:04:29
drug World began to drop into the ra
00:04:32
Clubhouse one of them was a Colombian
00:04:34
national named Jesus penol a man who
00:04:38
handled regular shipments of cocaine
00:04:40
worth as much as $50
00:04:44
million Jesus came to trust the
00:04:48
undercover agents and Cooperative
00:04:51
parties working in ra
00:04:55
Communications he brayed that he had
00:04:57
been involved in some violent incidents
00:04:59
in Columbia South America talked about
00:05:02
his desire to flood the United States
00:05:04
with cocaine he freely discussed with us
00:05:07
the movement from Columbia South America
00:05:09
through the Bahamas and into the United
00:05:15
States inside the clubhouse penel felt
00:05:18
safe enough to make drug deals using the
00:05:21
company phone
00:05:29
[Music]
00:05:33
P's drug buddies began to join him it
00:05:37
was not uncommon to see three different
00:05:40
drug dealers doing business at the same
00:05:44
time one of those traffickers was cartel
00:05:48
operative Julio Marco Cruz
00:05:53
Julio Julio Marco Cruz was a customer a
00:05:57
purchaser someone who was going to
00:05:59
receive in excess of 100 kilos of
00:06:02
cocaine The Plan called for a large
00:06:05
shipment of cocaine to be delivered to
00:06:07
the United States on a boat called the
00:06:10
tremolo the FBI had just enough time to
00:06:13
alert the coast
00:06:19
guardes when the tremolo entered us
00:06:22
Waters they moved in kill your engine
00:06:25
once you and your crew to step to the
00:06:26
far side of the boat we'll come on board
00:06:29
under the tremolo floorboards agents
00:06:32
discovered over 800 lb of cocaine the
00:06:36
street value nearly $40
00:06:40
million the next day crew showed up at
00:06:43
ra Communications with his
00:06:46
bodyguards amazingly he seemed to know
00:06:49
nothing about the tremolo capture J made
00:06:53
a quick decision to keep his cover
00:06:56
intact he told crw about the drug bust
00:06:59
on the tremolo I read it in the paper
00:07:03
bro Cruz was Furious but he never
00:07:06
suspected that the men who had told him
00:07:09
about the bust were in fact responsible
00:07:12
for it he continued to use the same
00:07:14
telephones that he had used before and
00:07:17
the FBI continued to gather
00:07:24
information it appeared as if the RAS
00:07:27
thing might go on indefinitely hi true
00:07:30
but things got tense when Jesus began
00:07:32
forcing himself on Sandy the FBI feared
00:07:36
that Sandy and the other agents might be
00:07:39
at risk the agents who are involved in
00:07:42
undercover activity are exposed to
00:07:45
potential danger at any given time if if
00:07:47
the circumstances were different okay
00:07:50
and really we very closely reviewed and
00:07:52
evaluated with the FBI headquarters and
00:07:55
the other agencies who participated that
00:07:57
uh we had accomplished a great deal in
00:07:59
was the appropriate time uh to bring
00:08:01
forward the matters to uh a prosecutive
00:08:05
phase 18 months after they began their
00:08:08
operation the FBI brought charges
00:08:10
against nearly 100 drug traffickers ra
00:08:15
Communications was shut down we had a
00:08:19
significant amount of arrest to
00:08:20
undertake we had a very detailed plan of
00:08:23
the 93 people indicted throughout the
00:08:26
United States we were able to apprehend
00:08:28
68 some people
00:08:31

coming up a doctor is found dead in his
00:09:15
car it looked like suicide until the
00:09:18
victim's mother proves it was murder
00:09:32
Los Angeles California just relax
00:09:35
officer you have to help me my husband
00:09:37
he's got a gun police are called to the
00:09:39
home of Dr Ted losf by his frightened
00:09:42
wife WIA she tells officers that Ted is
00:09:47
armed WIA is there with the Lo's
00:09:49
housekeeper and Edward J a family friend
00:09:54
all right all right get the CL
00:10:01
Ted Ted doesn't answer and there is no
00:10:04
sign of him anywhere in the
00:10:08
house it was in the garage that officers
00:10:11
finally found the body of Dr Ted
00:10:16
losf the car was running the victim was
00:10:18
behind the wheel and this hose was in
00:10:20
the tail pipe two authorities at the
00:10:22
scene the evidence of suicide was
00:10:25
overwhelming and there was no further
00:10:27
investigation no fingerprints were taken
00:10:29
no autopsy was performed and no
00:10:32
questions were
00:10:38
asked they found him in his car in the
00:10:41
garage it had to be
00:10:45
suicide it wasn't until a little later
00:10:48
when things began to become so
00:10:51
suspicious that I wondered about it of
00:10:55
all people in the world Ted was not one
00:10:59
to take his
00:11:02
life zel says the discrepancies finally
00:11:05
became clear to her in a
00:11:08
dream I saw a garage filled with lots
00:11:13
and lots of boat
00:11:15
equipment cartons of
00:11:18
boxes and I realized I was at Ted's
00:11:22
Garage and I knew that to put his car
00:11:26
there he had to move the things that
00:11:29
were in that
00:11:30
garage Ted had back surgery it was
00:11:34
impossible for him
00:11:38
physically and then I saw the gates
00:11:41
these great big double old iron
00:11:46
gates in Her Dream zel remembered that
00:11:49
the driveway gates were damaged and
00:11:51
difficult to open TED had always parked
00:11:55
in front of the house to zel the
00:11:58
implications of the dream were clear and
00:12:00
disturbing the suicide had been staged
00:12:03
her son had been
00:12:06
[Music]
00:12:08
murdered but zel's suspicions alone were
00:12:10
not enough to get the case reopened she
00:12:13
decided to track down her son's former
00:12:16
housekeeper who will call Mary hello yes
00:12:20
I'm zel and I've been looking for the
00:12:22
housekeeper who worked for my son Ted oh
00:12:25
Mrs mph the following reenactments are
00:12:27
based on Mary's sworn testimony at a
00:12:30
Coroner's inquest oh that's okay I hope
00:12:33
your wife isn't angry that I wasn't here
00:12:35
earlier Mary says that on the day that
00:12:37
Ted died she arrived around 10:00 a.m.
00:12:40
Ted announced that he was divorcing his
00:12:42
wife wilda and that Wilder would not be
00:12:45
staying at the house but around
00:12:48
2:00 she came in she she parked her car
00:12:52
directly in front of the door and then
00:12:54
she went right
00:12:55
upstairs and then a few minutes later I
00:12:59
heard all this screaming and yelling
00:13:02
what in the world is going
00:13:04
on Dr let her
00:13:07
go you got your money back he's got a
00:13:11
gun I'm scared do you have a gun Dr La
00:13:14
just crazy and I said if you want me to
00:13:17
continue to work with you you'll have to
00:13:19
talk to my
00:13:21
husband so he paid me for my work and I
00:13:25
got in my car and I drove down the
00:13:27
street and this there was Mrs
00:13:30
Lon Mrs Lon what are you doing oh my God
00:13:33
Mary what am I going to do I can't go
00:13:34
back there and then she asked me if she
00:13:37
could go with me and I said well yes so
00:13:40
I drove
00:13:45
home she kept insisting that Dr lph had
00:13:48
a gun so I called the police no officer
00:13:53
no I'm not the wife well she said that
00:13:56
he had a gun he had a gun I saw gun she
00:14:00
insists that he has a gun why don't you
00:14:01
come talk to him they told me that they
00:14:03
couldn't go over there if I hadn't seen
00:14:05
a gun and I hadn't seen it thank you
00:14:08
[Music]
00:14:10
officer I'm going to call Dr lph Mary
00:14:13
says that she tried to call Ted at least
00:14:15
20 times between 3: and 8:00 p.m. every
00:14:19
time the line was
00:14:21
visy at last Mary got through it's
00:14:25
ringing finally
00:14:33
no one's
00:14:35
answering I'm going to call the police
00:14:38
again within the hour police had found
00:14:41
Ted's body they suspected that Ted had
00:14:44
killed himself the discovery of a note
00:14:47
in the upstairs bedroom bolstered their
00:14:50
Theory however to Mary it was the first
00:14:53
of several alarming
00:14:55
discrepancies I always thought that that
00:14:58
note on the Shir cardboard was kind of
00:15:00
strange because I had been ironing Dr
00:15:03
lus of shirts for a long time and I
00:15:05
always used a hanger I never used a
00:15:08
shirt
00:15:09
cardboard what are you saying as she
00:15:12
stared at Ted's body Mary realized that
00:15:15
something else was very
00:15:18
wrong when I last saw him he was wearing
00:15:22
brown pants and a kind of a mustard
00:15:24
shirt and now he had on gray pants and a
00:15:28
dress shirt
00:15:30
and do you know that whole time that I
00:15:33
worked there after Dr losf died I never
00:15:37
once saw those brown pants and that
00:15:40
mustard colored shirt that he was
00:15:42
wearing the last time I saw
00:15:45
him the discrepancies became impossible
00:15:48
to ignore in the kitchen Mary found
00:15:51
several empti beer cans and four dirty
00:15:53
glasses Ted rarely
00:15:56
drank Mrs lawon can you come here a
00:15:59
minute please a week later Mary found
00:16:02
odd stains on a bed spread in the guest
00:16:05
room looks like
00:16:09
vomit oh uh yes this is this is the
00:16:12
dog's vomit they were sick last night
00:16:15
however Mary remembers the dogs being in
00:16:18
a kennel at that time later when she
00:16:20
washed the bed spreads the areas where
00:16:22
the supposed dog vomit was had
00:16:25
completely disintegrated
00:16:27
[Music]
00:16:29
after hearing the housekeeper many
00:16:34
stories I
00:16:35
knew there was fou play and something
00:16:39
terrible happened to
00:16:40
Ted and that I had to find
00:16:43
out there was evidence of food fiber in
00:16:46
the Brony of the lungs 4 years after her
00:16:49
son's death zel finally won a legal
00:16:52
battle to have Ted's body exhumed for an
00:16:55
autopsy the pathologist found clear
00:16:58
evidence that Ted had suffered a violent
00:17:00
vomiting spell moments before his death
00:17:05
there should have been vomitous on his
00:17:07
clothing his face and perhaps on the
00:17:09
inside of the car gas why wasn't it
00:17:13
there this certainly strongly suggests
00:17:16
to me that this vomiting occurred
00:17:19
someplace other than in the car and
00:17:23
there were a number of discrepancies
00:17:25
that have never been explained but that
00:17:28
very strongly move away from the whole
00:17:30
thought of suicide this until proven
00:17:33
otherwise as a
00:17:36
homicide fueled by the autopsy results
00:17:39
zul pieced together a theory explaining
00:17:41
her son's death a scenario of
00:17:44
premeditated
00:17:46
murder zel believes that Ted was
00:17:49
assaulted soon after wilda and Mary left
00:17:52
the
00:17:53
house I believe that the people that
00:17:57
killed my son
00:17:59
were close to the
00:18:02
wife because they knew that that back
00:18:05
door would be
00:18:08
open the autopsy indicated that Ted had
00:18:10
been involved in a struggle zel believes
00:18:13
that he was overpowered by at least two
00:18:16
men who forced poison down his throat T
00:18:20
was definitely fighting for his life
00:18:24
according to the
00:18:26
doctors somebody took the phone off
00:18:30
after they made sure he was dead then
00:18:35
they uh cleaned them up and they put his
00:18:38
gray dress shirt on
00:18:42
him then they went to the garage emptied
00:18:46
out the garage to make room for the
00:18:49
car then they had to open the gates to
00:18:53
put his car into this garage carry his
00:18:57
dead body into that that garage close
00:19:01
the door and then go out and close the
00:19:05
gate then they went back into the house
00:19:08
I think again put the
00:19:11
receiver back on the hook finally all
00:19:15
afternoon Mary had been getting busy
00:19:18
signals when she tried to call Ted and
00:19:20
now the phone was suddenly ringing zel
00:19:23
believes that hanging up the phone was a
00:19:25
pre-arranged signal from The Killers to
00:19:27
wilda that their job was
00:19:32
done 8 years after Ted's death the LA
00:19:35
County coroner reopened the case a
00:19:38
witness told authorities that the
00:19:40
so-called suicide note had indeed been
00:19:43
written by Ted but the witness also
00:19:46
revealed that Ted wrote the message 2
00:19:49
years before his death after an argument
00:19:53
with wil you have responsibility to me
00:19:55
as a wife the coroner's inquest rule
00:19:59
that Ted's death was a homicide but
00:20:01
before police could investigate Ted's
00:20:04
wife Wilder died of a drug and alcohol
00:20:07
overdose investigators are stumped it
00:20:10
looks like someone may have gotten away
00:20:13
with
00:20:14
murder if you have any information

children Taylor was also a math and
00:21:26
computer whiz who founded his own
00:21:28
high-tech multimedia company for several
00:21:32
weeks before his disappearance he had
00:21:34
been working around the clock on a new
00:21:36
breakthrough project is it I know he
00:21:39
said it's very simple it's been here the
00:21:41
whole time it's so simple that no one
00:21:44
has discovered it you can't believe how
00:21:47
close I am right now and he said imagine
00:21:50
Jennifer a computer and a camera being
00:21:54
able to find a missing child in a sea of
00:21:58
thousands of people by just showing the
00:22:01
computer a small piece of that child's
00:22:04
face and finding that child in a
00:22:07
fraction of a
00:22:09
second to his wife Jennifer Taylor's
00:22:12
Behavior seemed to grow more and more

00:22:27
day before he disappeared we went on a
00:22:30
hike and we hiked up to the top of a
00:22:32
hill and we look across and you can see
00:22:35
the whole valley where we live and
00:22:37
there's a cross up on the hill and he
00:22:39
pointed to the cross and he said look
00:22:41
honey our house is right in the path of
00:22:43
this cross he started to see sacredness
00:22:48
in
00:22:50
everything like I said they're coming in
00:22:52
11 the day after the hike Taylor left
00:22:55
home around 900 a.m. he planned to pick
00:22:58
up friends who were flying into
00:23:01
town Taylor went to the airport as
00:23:03
scheduled but left before his friends
00:23:06

00:23:09
phone calls including one to Ron bushy
00:23:13

00:25:47
next some believe this portrait of Our
00:25:49
Lady of Guadalupe is a miracle and this
00:25:53
infared scan may prove them right
00:26:01
[Music]
00:26:06
Mexico City
00:26:10
Mexico these people are on a pilgrimage
00:26:13
to worship before painting that has been
00:26:15
a source of inspiration and awe for more
00:26:18
than 400 years the image is that of the
00:26:22
Virgin Mary known here as Our Lady of
00:26:26
Guadalupe
00:26:31
this image has sparked intense
00:26:33
controversy to Skeptics it is a skillful
00:26:36
but ordinary painting the Catholic
00:26:39
Church on the other hand has officially
00:26:41
recognized the image as a creation of
00:26:44
God a miracle that occurred over 300
00:26:47
years ago in Mexico the debate continues
00:26:51
to this
00:26:52
day according to church records one of
00:26:55
the first Aztecs to be converted to
00:26:57
Christian it was a man named Juan Diego
00:27:01
he lived in a village just north of
00:27:03
Mexico City on a December morning in
00:27:07
1531 Juan was on his way to mass when he
00:27:10
heard a voice calling his
00:27:12
[Music]
00:27:21
name he became entranced by the Godlike
00:27:25
Radiance Quan
00:27:43
[Music]
00:27:50
certain that he had experienced a
00:27:51
miracle Juan hurried to Mexico City to
00:27:54
bring the news to the powerful Bishop
00:27:57
Juan de Z
00:27:59
[Music]
00:28:10
Mora the bishop was skeptical and told
00:28:13
one to bring him proof dejected Juan
00:28:16
returned home where he found that his
00:28:18
uncle was
00:28:19
dying the next day Juan went to find a
00:28:22
priest to perform last rights his route
00:28:25
took him back to teepe oill
00:28:30
[Music]
00:28:40
[Music]
00:28:51
to's amazement even though it was Winter
00:28:54
the hilltop was covered in beautiful
00:28:56
roses he ga them in his cape made of
00:29:00
cactus
00:29:02
[Music]
00:29:10
cloth according to church documents
00:29:13
where the flowers had rested in the cape
00:29:15
there appeared a perfect image of the
00:29:18
Virgin Mary the bishop now believed that
00:29:21
a miracle had occurred and agreed to
00:29:24
build the shrine
00:29:28
today the shrine stands on teepak hill
00:29:31
with the image of the Virgin on
00:29:33
prominent display the painting was named
00:29:36
Our Lady of Guadalupe after a village in
00:29:39
Spain over the centuries the church has
00:29:42
allowed painted details to be added to
00:29:44
the portrait including gold Rays all
00:29:47
around the
00:29:49
figure every year 5 million Believers
00:29:52
make a pilgrimage to view the image but
00:29:55
for as long as it has existed there has
00:29:57
been debate over whether the portrait is
00:30:00
truly a
00:30:02
miracle in 1789 a skeptical priest
00:30:06
ordered 11 artists to make a copy of the
00:30:09
painting using the same kind of
00:30:12
untreated Cactus cloth as the original
00:30:15
after only 7 years all 11 were so peeled
00:30:19
and coated with fungus that they had to
00:30:21
be removed from public
00:30:24
display I think that the fact that the
00:30:26
images lasted for over four almost 500
00:30:29
years now the fact that the original
00:30:32
picture the pigment on the original
00:30:34
picture is still just like it always was
00:30:36
and hasn't cracked is another totally
00:30:38
inexplicable
00:30:40
thing in modern times experts were given
00:30:43
formal permission to examine the image
00:30:46
up close naturally enough We examined
00:30:49
the face most uh intensely and uh
00:30:54
studying this with the magnifying glass
00:30:55
we could see no hairline cracks whatever
00:30:58
the medium used to color it was uh it's
00:31:01
very strange because after all of these
00:31:04
years with no evidence of retouching uh
00:31:07
there's no evidence of of uh age
00:31:11
disfiguration in fact the gold Grays
00:31:13
around the Virgin added in the 17th
00:31:16
century are badly chipped but the
00:31:18
original image is not still that wasn't
00:31:22
enough to convince the
00:31:24
Skeptics it's gone through so many
00:31:26
changes over the years of CHS and so
00:31:28
many different representations have been
00:31:29
made of it and for it it is really hard
00:31:32
to tell what happened to the original or
00:31:34
if this is the original you can't tell
00:31:36
there's really so little evidence
00:31:39
available these infrared photographs
00:31:42
reveal another surprising aspect of the
00:31:46
painting the film photographs the
00:31:48
infrared photographs showed that there
00:31:50
is absolutely no drawing under it uh
00:31:53
it's inconceivable that an artist in the
00:31:55
16th century would paint a portrait
00:31:57
without first doing a drawing of it in
00:31:59
fact it's fairly inconceivable any
00:32:00
artist would do it today although you
00:32:01
could do it with some Modern Art thing
00:32:03
but not with a
00:32:05
portrait the absence of the unders
00:32:07
sketch in itself does not categorically
00:32:10
uh indicate a miracle but the paint uh
00:32:13
as beautiful a face and and bust as we
00:32:16
see in Our Lady of Guadalupe on a rough
00:32:18
Cactus cloth is all the more
00:32:23
remarkable perhaps no amount of
00:32:25
scientific research will unlock the
00:32:28
mystery of Our Lady of Guadalupe for the
00:32:31
True Believers there is no controversy
00:32:34
to them the beautiful face of the Virgin
00:32:36
Mary is purely and simply
00:32:43
miraculous up next a father and a
00:32:46
daughter reunite after 20 years thanks
00:32:49
to your calls
00:33:00
recently we told you the story of sun
00:33:02
van win who immigrated to America from
00:33:04
Vietnam with his family in
00:33:07
1993 soon had come both to start a new
00:33:10
life and to complete some unfinished
00:33:13
business from his old
00:33:16
one Sun's first visit to America was in
00:33:19
1968 at the height of the Vietnam War as
00:33:23
a South Vietnamese officer soon was sent
00:33:26
to a US Air Force base in Louisiana for
00:33:29
Jet Pilot
00:33:30
training during his stay there soon fell
00:33:34
in love with a woman named gwendelyn
00:33:38
gotier but with his training complete he
00:33:41
was sent back to Vietnam to fight for
00:33:43
his
00:33:45
country a few months after his return he
00:33:48
received a letter from America gwendolin

00:34:11
moment 5 years later soon was sent to
00:34:14
Louisiana once again he met his daughter
00:34:17
Kimberly for the first
00:34:21
time and I looked at her and knew right
00:34:24

00:34:43
imprisoned for nearly 10 years in what
00:34:46
was known as a re-education camp another
00:34:50
10 years passed before he finally made
00:34:52
it to America but soon never stopped
00:34:55
thinking of the little girl that he had
00:34:57
left behind so long ago and on our
00:35:01
program he asked if someone in our
00:35:03
audience could help reunite
00:35:08
them
00:35:09
update the night this story aired we
00:35:13

for her father and was thrilled at the
00:35:20
idea of seeing him

soon and his American sponsor traveled
00:35:30
