mini mart a few blocks away when they
00:02:24

lots of friends but they like to go go
00:02:42
go they wanted to be doing something all
00:02:44
the time they didn't care if it was 3:00
00:02:46
in the morning or 3: in the
00:02:48
afternoon on the day they disappeared
00:02:51
Diane and Jennifer were seen at the

00:02:56

00:03:00
cashier said the girls bought cigarettes
00:03:01
and soda then sat outside the
00:03:05
store 2 hours passed and the girls were
00:03:08
still sitting there when the cashier saw
00:03:10
a man pull up in a blue
00:03:16
truck they conversed for quite a while
00:03:19
they got into the
00:03:20
[Music]
00:03:22
truck and then the truck drove off and
00:03:25
that's the last time that uh anyone that
00:03:27
we know of has seen them alive
00:03:30

00:03:39
3 months later two men were hunting in a
00:03:42
remote desert 100 miles north of Phoenix
00:03:45
When They Came Upon two
00:03:48
bodies Diane Lynn Shaw coft lay on top
00:03:52
of Jennifer Su Luth both girls had been
00:03:56
murdered because the investigation is
00:03:59
ongoing police are withholding the cause
00:04:01
of death but the location of the girls
00:04:04
bodies offers several Clues as to who
00:04:07
the killer or Killers might be this area
00:04:12
is extremely isolated 16 mil from the
00:04:15
nearest highway and accessible only by
00:04:18
pickup truck or four-wheel drive we feel
00:04:21
that this person has probably been in
00:04:22
this area or frequent this area or
00:04:24
certainly was aware of this area in some
00:04:26
way by their own four-wheel drive or
00:04:30
hunting or at least uh some personal
00:04:33
knowledge of the
00:04:34
area and it's likely the killer was not
00:04:40
alone Jennifer was a strong girl and she
00:04:44
was a scrapper she needed to be it
00:04:46
wouldn't be easy for one person to
00:04:48
overpower Jennifer alone but with two of
00:04:51
them it's it's just sort of
00:04:54
inconceivable to me that one person was
00:04:58
able to do that to two
00:05:01
girls the investigation centered on
00:05:04
finding the man in the blue truck
00:05:07
believing that the girls knew this man
00:05:09
police focused on their personal
00:05:12
lives while in Phoenix Diane and
00:05:15
Jennifer had been to many parties and to
00:05:18
many
00:05:19
nightclubs to
00:05:21
us they had a lifestyle with a lot of
00:05:25
males involved in it they were a lot of
00:05:27
male friends male relationship they were
00:05:30
involved in so many people's lives they
00:05:32
were involved in many strangers lives uh
00:05:34
to the point it could have been somebody
00:05:36
they just met where you from I'm from
00:05:39
Colorado I think both Jenny and Diana
00:05:42
were very naive and very innocent I
00:05:44
think like most 19y olds they think
00:05:46
they're invincible and can just conquer
00:05:49
the world that reminds me my friends
00:05:51
having a little pool party tonight there
00:05:53
going to be kegs lots of people you guys
00:05:54
should come down really yeah and I think
00:05:58
whoever got involed involved with them
00:06:00
knew that could read them like a book
00:06:02
and took advantage of
00:06:04
them there is one final strange twist to
00:06:08
this
00:06:10
case the families erected a shrine where
00:06:14
the bodies were
00:06:15
found pictures of both girls were placed
00:06:18
at the foot of two wooden crosses police
00:06:22
decided to occasionally survey the site
00:06:24
hoping to find evidence of a visit from
00:06:27
the
00:06:28
Killer 4 years later they found it both
00:06:33
photos of the girls had been removed
00:06:35
from their frames only police and the
00:06:38
victim's family knew the exact location
00:06:41
where the girls bodies had been
00:06:44
found nothing else seemed to be
00:06:46
disturbed and it definitely raised
00:06:48
questions as to who would want the
00:06:50
pictures who would go to that much
00:06:52
effort uh to go back in as far as it is
00:06:55
get the pictures and and take them hard
00:06:59
to even imagine who it be or why they
00:07:01
would do it unless it's the
00:07:03
perpetrator however no evidence that
00:07:06
might identify the murderer has ever
00:07:09
been
00:07:10
found the search for Diane and
00:07:12
Jennifer's killer or Killers continues
00:07:16
authorities would like to question the
00:07:17
man in the blue pickup truck who was the
00:07:20
last person seen with the
00:07:23
girls if you have any information on

[Music]
00:07:50
killer falam West
00:07:53
Virginia police arrive at the house of a
00:07:55
wealthy farmer named Tim good didn't see
00:07:58
anything around back we're going try the
00:07:59
they have received a mysterious tip from
00:08:02
a surprising Source a thief who has
00:08:05
broken into the house and found more
00:08:08
than he bargained
00:08:11
for the caller simply said look in the
00:08:17
basement behind a closed door police
00:08:20
made their own Grizzly
00:08:23
Discovery the decomposed body of the
00:08:26
homeowner
00:08:33
37-year-old Tim good he had been
00:08:35
strangled and left undisturbed for over
00:08:39
a
00:08:41
year where the body was located it was
00:08:43
basically a dungeon or a cell um bare
00:08:47
walls concrete
00:08:48
floor upstairs of the the residence it
00:08:51
was lavishly furnished hot tub Jacuzzi
00:08:55
three large screen TVs a wet bar it was
00:08:59
it was very nice upstairs and it was a
00:09:01
dungeon in the basement pretty strange
00:09:03
huh it sure is what's the story on this
00:09:05
here the investigation quickly revealed
00:09:08
that someone had been living in the
00:09:09
house almost the entire time that Tim
00:09:12
Good's dead body was rotting in the
00:09:15
basement all of the air vents had been
00:09:17
sealed to prevent the smell from wafting
00:09:23
upstairs the scene was strangely
00:09:26
medieval in the basement a man was dying
00:09:29
like a prisoner in a dungeon while
00:09:32
upstairs someone else was living like a
00:09:35
king the fact that the dying prisoner
00:09:37
was the homeowner himself had police
00:09:40
completely
00:09:43
mystified Tim good had owned and
00:09:45
operated a 350 acre dairy farm in
00:09:49
Collinsville Pennsylvania one of his
00:09:51
employees was a young man named Jean
00:09:54
Kennedy who had come from a broken home
00:09:57
Tim was Jean's un official
00:10:00
Guardian when I first come to live with
00:10:02
him instead of making it feel like he
00:10:05
was just giving it to me it was like I
00:10:07
was learning something you know 13 years
00:10:10
old 50 bucks a week and being on your
00:10:11
own and a place to live that was pretty
00:10:13
neat for
00:10:15
me handyman Ben Freeman was the next to
00:10:18
be hired found some Cooling in the oil
00:10:20
pan I'm getting ready to take this
00:10:22
filter off and see if it's contaminated
00:10:24
within months Freeman and his wife Eliza
00:10:26
had moved into the main house and in
00:10:30
Tim's
00:10:31
life say Tim I was wondering yeah there
00:10:35
I'm going to be leading a Bible study up
00:10:36
at the house later this evening thought
00:10:38
you might like to come up and check it
00:10:39
out by what time Freeman was something
00:10:42
of a self-style Preacher Tim was
00:10:44
estranged from his family and he turned
00:10:46
to Freeman for spiritual
00:10:49
guidance Ben would have an unusual twist
00:10:53
to the way he spoke with Tim uh implying
00:10:57
that he knew more more than what most
00:11:00
people did and therefore Tim looked at
00:11:02
him as being a very wise
00:11:05
man but Freeman had his own agenda Jean
00:11:10
Kennedy claims that Freeman began to act
00:11:12
as if he owned the
00:11:15
farm what are you doing I told you don't
00:11:17
come here until you call I live here too
00:11:20
yeah well you can't come in right now
00:11:21
I'll be in and out all right look my
00:11:22
wife's asleep upstairs you can't come in
00:11:24
be quiet you little I told you hey what
00:11:27
are you guys doing knock it off just
00:11:28
back off okay my wife's asleep upstairs
00:11:31
I understand that but he lives here
00:11:33
too when Ben showed up it wasn't I'd say
00:11:36
about a year after that Tim stopped
00:11:38
dairy farm you know you come down on the
00:11:40
farm there's no cows there was no calves
00:11:43
there was no dry stock everything was
00:11:45
empty Tim looked at me one day and he
00:11:47
saids you're going to hate me he says I
00:11:50
sold the
00:11:52
farm he says I got a million dollars for
00:11:56
the
00:11:57
farm maybe a little more and he'd laugh
00:12:01
he thought that was really funny he was
00:12:03
real proud of himself be careful this
00:12:05
heavy one Tim then turned around and
00:12:07
bought another much smaller Farm in West
00:12:10
Virginia Freeman and his family made the
00:12:12
move too oddly Freeman was now calling
00:12:16
himself
00:12:20
Dave how about when you're done with
00:12:22
that clearing some more that land over
00:12:23
by the fence over by that big
00:12:26
tree it seemed more like Dave was the
00:12:28
boss instead of timma being the one that
00:12:31
owned it it seemed more like it Dave
00:12:35
was during this period Freeman kept
00:12:38
extensive diaries that revealed how he
00:12:41
and his family lived comfortably
00:12:43
upstairs while Tim became a virtual
00:12:46
prisoner in the basement please bless
00:12:49
this food and please watch over
00:12:52
me the Diaries were very detailed he
00:12:55
indicated in the Diaries what chores
00:12:57
Timothy good was to perform that
00:13:00
day he even indicated what Timothy good
00:13:03
was to eat that day if he was allowed to
00:13:05
eat that day every aspect of Timothy
00:13:08
Good's life was controlled by Dave
00:13:10
fredman studying man like he told me to
00:13:12
do is that what I told you to do is
00:13:15
there anything else I told you to do Tim
00:13:16
you told me to clean the basement that's
00:13:18
right I told you to clean the basement
00:13:19
get up here when did I tell you to clean
00:13:22
that basement yesterday yesterday every
00:13:25
single day Tim did something that would
00:13:28
irrit
00:13:29
or disgust Dave fredman see it's just my
00:13:33
shoes Ben that's all just your shoes
00:13:35
basically Timothy good couldn't do
00:13:36
anything correct and everything that he
00:13:39
did was a mistake or it wasn't God's way
00:13:43
to do it God requires that you pre I'm
00:13:47
sorry man when I first met Tim he we
00:13:51
used to come to my house all time we
00:13:53
were every day seeing each other and
00:13:55
talked every day we talked a lot about
00:13:57
farming and stuff and he was going to
00:13:59
get his farm cleaned up and do a lot of
00:14:01
work to it and
00:14:02
everything but uh then at the end Tim
00:14:06
just started staying away from
00:14:08
me in fact George Anderson did not see
00:14:11
Tim or Dave Freeman for about a year and
00:14:14
just assumed that they had left the area
00:14:18
then one afternoon a taxi came up the
00:14:20
road headed for Tim's
00:14:25
Farm my grandkid was out in the yard and
00:14:28
they seen them and they started holling
00:14:29
at me time me Dave and Liza was back
00:14:32
and so I told him that I was going up
00:14:34
and talk to Dave and find out about Tim
00:14:37
because Tim had been going for about a
00:14:39
year hey George how's it going buddy how
00:14:42
are you been oh I was just up the house
00:14:45
looked like somebody broken the back
00:14:47
window right have you seen Tim I asked
00:14:49
him where Tim was at and he said he
00:14:50
hadn't seen Tim for a long
00:14:52
time and he had no idea I believe that
00:14:57
Dave Freeman came back to the good Farm
00:14:59
to remove the
00:15:01
Diaries and I believe that they were
00:15:03
surprised by the neighbors and there's
00:15:06
no way that he could have removed
00:15:07
anything from the home without the
00:15:09
neighbors observing
00:15:11
that later that day George Anderson's
00:15:14
sonin-law gave Freeman and his family a
00:15:16
ride to Washington DC he dropped them
00:15:19
off at a service station and they have
00:15:22
not been seen
00:15:26
since two weeks later police discovered
00:15:29
Tim's decomposed body along with a
00:15:32
Diaries kept by Freeman grocery receipts
00:15:36
showed that Freeman and his family had
00:15:38
lived in the house for about 7 months
00:15:41
after Tim died Tim's bank account which
00:15:45
had previously held almost a million
00:15:47
dollar had been drained to less than $2
00:15:52
Dave Freeman indicated in his diaries
00:15:54
that Timothy good question him about the
00:15:56
money and Dave Freeman will starting to
00:15:59
realize that he didn't quite have the
00:16:01
control on Timothy good that he had once
00:16:04
had and I believe that that quite
00:16:06
possibly led to its
00:16:09
demise
00:16:11
update after the broadcast a viewer
00:16:14
called our phone center and said that he
00:16:16
knew Freeman as William David Cooper an
00:16:19
auto mechanic Cooper was in fact
00:16:22
Freeman's real name he had recently
00:16:24
worked on the caller's car and made
00:16:27
quite an impression I'll take you right
00:16:29
to the guy the guy ripped me off in the
00:16:31
first place he got me for like over a
00:16:32
thousand more than what he told me he
00:16:33
was going to get and then then he got
00:16:34
all upset because I got upset realized
00:16:37
that it was a valid tip I was pretty
00:16:39
excited I've been chasing this subject
00:16:41
for a year and a half and once I finally
00:16:43
knew that I he was within grasp it was
00:16:45
almost too good to be
00:16:47
true within hours police taked out
00:16:50
Cooper's apartment this surveillance
00:16:53
video shows Cooper as he left the
00:16:55
building the next morning when he came
00:16:58
out of the house
00:16:59
that's when it got real interesting we
00:17:01
could tell that this was a suspect he
00:17:02
matched the
00:17:03
description our intensity Rose we really
00:17:06
got excited four children were inside
00:17:09
the apartment so they waited for Cooper
00:17:12
to leave and then they made their
00:17:17
move William Cooper was arrested without
00:17:20
incident he pleaded guilty to voluntary
00:17:23
manslaughter and was sentenced to 10
00:17:25
years in
00:17:26
prison he has since been released
00:17:33
next a clever scan fools thousands of
00:17:36
unsuspecting

00:17:51
York people here have a reputation for
00:17:54
being StreetWise and Savvy yet each year
00:17:58
New Yorkers lose more money to scams and
00:18:00
conmen than to bank robbers Jerry Diner
00:18:04
was a typical unsuspecting victim that
00:18:07
would be wonderful I was at a telephone
00:18:10
in Midtown outside and uh as I finished
00:18:13
up my call a guy comes up to me sounded
00:18:15
kind of drunk excuse me excuse me yeah
00:18:18
uh I just found this Bank envelope on
00:18:20
the street and this was inside of it I
00:18:22
was wondering if you do me a favor could
00:18:24
you call this guy up and tell him I
00:18:26
found this cuz I want to give it back to
00:18:28
him and and he's holding a bank deposit
00:18:30
envelope and it's got Dr Stone and the
00:18:33
address and in his other hand he's got
00:18:35
these coins he couldn't make the
00:18:38
telephone call himself calm down man I
00:18:41
finally get the doctor on the phone and
00:18:43
I said I don't know how to explain this
00:18:45
to you I got a guy here and um and I
00:18:48
said uh doctor I don't know what to do
00:18:50
here and the doctor says um look if you
00:18:52
could give him
00:18:53
$100 then uh you know I'll add that $100
00:18:56
onto there's a $1,000 reward
00:19:00
okay if I can do anything I will well I
00:19:03
certainly would appreciate it thank you
00:19:05
very
00:19:07
much as it turned out the phone number
00:19:09
Jerry dialed was not a doctor's office
00:19:13
but a pay phone and the man he spoke
00:19:15
with was a con
00:19:17
arist what allowed me to be scammed was
00:19:21
that it was totally
00:19:23
nonthreatening it was always up to me I
00:19:26
could walk away or I could go that next
00:19:29
step further when he was really drunk at
00:19:31
the telephone I could have just said
00:19:33
look I can't handle this Dr Stone boom
00:19:35
I'm out of here look how much do you
00:19:37
want for those coins I just want a place
00:19:39
to stay something to drink something to
00:19:41
eat I understand that I understand but
00:19:43
exactly how much do you want for the
00:19:44
coins $100 $100 all right look here's
00:19:47
what I'll do I'll take you over to my
00:19:48
bank machine and I'll get you $100 and
00:19:51
I'll take the coins over to the doctor
00:19:53
you do that for me yeah sure oh you're a
00:19:55
saint come
00:19:57
on I'd like say you know that I'm like
00:19:59
really a good person and that there was
00:20:01
no greed involved but it was kind of
00:20:04
like an illegal thing that was going on
00:20:06
because I was going to take those coins
00:20:09
I'm giving them 160 but you know I'm
00:20:11
going to make five times that so yes
00:20:14
there was you know that illicit kind of
00:20:17
feeling of you know I'm doing something
00:20:19
a little weird here and uh you know I'm
00:20:22
going to get away with it once the fake
00:20:24
transaction has gone down the front Man
00:20:27
simply disappeared into the
00:20:30
crowd I don't know anything about coins
00:20:32
so I thought I was doing a favor for the
00:20:33
doctor but in the cab I looked at the
00:20:35
coins and it said rare on the coins but
00:20:38
then it listed the amounts and one was
00:20:41
$350 one was 600 and one was like 300
00:20:44
and I'm going why would he offer a
00:20:46
$1,000 reward for coins that are only
00:20:48
worth like 2,000 that seemed like a
00:20:50
little weird to me but I figured well
00:20:51
they really mean something to this
00:20:55
guy most of the people taken in by this
00:20:58
game
00:20:59
are sent to the same apartment building
00:21:01
on the Upper East Side which they
00:21:03
believe to be Dr Stone's office I'm
00:21:06
looking for Dr Stone well I'm sorry
00:21:09
there's no Dr Stone
00:21:10
here in the last few years we've
00:21:13
estimated that about 3 or 4,000 people
00:21:15
have actually come here with this coin
00:21:17
scam a lot of the times when these
00:21:19
victims come here they believe that in
00:21:22
some way myself or whoever else is
00:21:24
working here that's in the lobby is an
00:21:26
accomplished to this and um you know I
00:21:29
try to explain to them if I was running
00:21:30
a scam would I actually bring you back
00:21:32
to me I never thought that I was being
00:21:36
scammed for one second not even for a
00:21:38
millisecond I was just caught up in this
00:21:41
I really want to thank you for this I
00:21:43
really felt like I was doing a good deed
00:21:45
and making money at the same
00:21:48
time this simple scam has suckered
00:21:51
people in New York Florida Boston and
00:21:57
Baltimore and most cases the coins are
00:22:00

00:26:31
next can this woman really talk to
00:26:34
animals in a moment we put Sonia
00:26:37
Fitzpatrick to the
00:26:42
[Music]
00:26:47
test Houston
00:26:50
Texas racehorse trainer Mary Clark was
00:26:54
worried her promising Philly Reckless
00:26:57
had been behaving strangely Mary called
00:27:00
an animal psychic Sonia
00:27:02
Fitzpatrick like the classic character
00:27:05
Dr doitt Sonia says that she can
00:27:08
communicate with animals okay Mary I can
00:27:12
tell you this horse is in terrible pain
00:27:15
all down the left side of the
00:27:18
face and I don't know how she stood this
00:27:21
pain I don't know how she pain was a
00:27:24
plausible reason for the horse's unusual
00:27:26
behavior over the past several months
00:27:30
what Sonia didn't know was that Reckless
00:27:32
had been rearing back violently before
00:27:35
all her races Reckless and easy acting
00:27:38
up in the Starting Gate even worse she
00:27:41
sometimes flipped over backwards putting
00:27:43
herself and her jockey in
00:27:46
danger and now she's telling me she's
00:27:49
flipping to try and get away from the
00:27:51
pain when I heard the words flip I was
00:27:54
astonished cuz I hadn't discussed the
00:27:56
flipping and um my heart was broken
00:28:00
because that meant that this mayor had
00:28:02
been flipping in these races because of
00:28:05
excruciating pain no it's not a tooth
00:28:08
it's it's something I'm feeling I said
00:28:10
to Mary you really need to have this
00:28:12
left side x-ray because I feel there's
00:28:16
something stuck in
00:28:18
there at Texas A&M University
00:28:21
veterinarians took x-rays of Reckless
00:28:24
the pictures confirmed that there was a
00:28:26
mysterious for an object embedded inside
00:28:30
the horse's head next a surgeon operated
00:28:34
on the horse's jaw you're not going to
00:28:37
believe what we found and he opened his
00:28:40
hand and he said this is what we found
00:28:41
in the mayor's jawline it was a metal
00:28:44
fragment had broken off from the horse's
00:28:47
halter oh my gosh it was a pretty
00:28:50
horrifying thing to look at he said this
00:28:52
would have been the most painful thing I
00:28:54
can ever
00:28:55
imagine Reckless recovered completely
00:28:58
after the surgery and she is now retired
00:29:00
from racing and free from
00:29:04
Pain Sonia truly talks to these
00:29:07
horses they are giving her conversation
00:29:10
they are sharing with her their their
00:29:12
feelings their wants and their desires
00:29:15
it's an amazing gift animals love to
00:29:19
talk they love it when you answer them
00:29:21
the first time they have someone that
00:29:23
answers them they are so pleased and
00:29:25
it's like oh she really can talk car
00:29:30
language can Sonia Fitzpatrick truly
00:29:33
speak telepathically with animals
00:29:36
thousands of her paying customers say
00:29:38
yes she can the Skeptics however say no
00:29:41
way so we decided to put Sonia to the
00:29:45
test and let you judge for yourself
00:29:49
hello Sonia nice to meet you we asked
00:29:51
Sonia to visit pets and owners that she
00:29:54
had never met
00:29:55
before Sonia had no prior knowledge of
00:29:58
their background or their ailment what's
00:30:01
this one's name that's Minnie Minnie how
00:30:04
old is Minnie she's approximately 5
00:30:06
years old okay now Minnie says she lives
00:30:10
with other animals as well so you better
00:30:12
tell me what the other cat's name is the
00:30:14
other cat's name is Murphy
00:30:17
Murphy there was a time when she felt
00:30:20
sick I don't I don't recall her being
00:30:23
sick she's feeling sick what is it you
00:30:25
use in your house on the floors
00:30:29
we don't use anything on the floors
00:30:30
other than vacuuming on the carpet and
00:30:33
she discussed the fact that my cat
00:30:35
seemed to have some illness related to
00:30:38
the cleaning products that I used on my
00:30:39
kitchen floor and the fact of the matter
00:30:41
is the cat is now an outdoor cat and has
00:30:44
been for some time now many think she's
00:30:46
in charge and she's telling me she's in
00:30:48
charge so overall I would say on a scale
00:30:50
of 1 to 10 she got two right out of
00:30:54
10 some animals are really clear with
00:30:57
their community iation and very direct
00:31:00
and then just as people others don't
00:31:03
communicate so well so before they can
00:31:06
send you a reply back so that is the
00:31:08
reason why sometimes I don't always get
00:31:11
something and I do occasionally get
00:31:13
animals like that hello
00:31:16
beautiful hi what's your horse's name
00:31:19
Charlie Charlie oh Charlie Charlie is an
00:31:24
11-year-old racehorse Sonia has not been
00:31:27
told that he almost died recently after
00:31:29
suffering continual abuse from a
00:31:32
previous owner he's very emotional he's
00:31:36
um he's had a lot of pain in his life
00:31:39
and I'm feeling that pain from him and
00:31:42
he's had a tremendous amount of
00:31:45
abuse I was surprised that she picked up
00:31:47
on the fact that he had been abused so
00:31:49
quickly um I really expected her to ask
00:31:52
me questions that anybody could figure
00:31:55
out okay well from that I I would assume
00:31:58
that he had been abused but she
00:32:00
basically started just talking to me his
00:32:02
leg he also had a problem
00:32:05
here here sorry here it was real strange
00:32:08
that she would would be able to pinpoint
00:32:10
uh an injury from his hip because
00:32:13
there's there's no scars I mean he was
00:32:15
in such pain and Agony at one time and
00:32:19
something with the foot that was really
00:32:22
painful he has a crack in his in his
00:32:24
hoof and she knew which hoof was cracked
00:32:27
and brings back the memories every time
00:32:30
the ears are touched the hardest part is
00:32:33
when an animal has been abused and
00:32:35
sometimes even now I think oh God I
00:32:37
don't want to hear this I don't want to
00:32:39
hear what's been done I don't want to
00:32:41
know but I have to know to be able to
00:32:43
help them I have to know what's going on
00:32:45
he wants to know is he going to be
00:32:46
staying with you forever and ever oh
00:32:48
absolutely I get tremendous inner
00:32:51
satisfaction the fact that I've been
00:32:53
able to be a voice for the
00:32:55
animals it feeds my soul
00:32:58
that's the only way I can tell you it
00:33:00
feeds my soul and my
00:33:03
spirit and yes I love
00:33:05
it I love talking to the animals Charlie
00:33:09
oh
00:33:12
Charlie next a man discovers that his
00:33:15
new wife is hiding a dangerous past
00:33:21
[Music]
00:33:30
Augusta George two young servicemen
00:33:33
stationed at nearby Fort Gordon were at
00:33:35
the Richman County
00:33:36
Fair one of them met a woman that would
00:33:40
change his
00:33:41
life What attracted me to George I think
00:33:44
was the dark hair and real dark
00:33:50
eyes it was kind of like a mystery you
00:33:54
know I wanted to know who she was meet
00:33:57
her talk with her she was just
00:34:01
interesting Georgia told Daryl that her
00:34:03
father was a Cherokee Indian that she
00:34:06
was born on a reservation in North
00:34:08
Carolina she said that most people
00:34:10
called her Jerry not
00:34:14
Georgia Daryl tacy fell head over heels
00:34:17
in love with the woman that he continued
00:34:19
to call Jerry but over the next 2 and
00:34:22
1/2 years the more he got to know her
00:34:24
the more mysterious she became
00:34:30
the first surprise was that Georgia
00:34:32
worked at a go go bar in Augusta 3 miles
00:34:35
from Fort Gordon darl was soon spending
00:34:38
every free moment at the bar watching
00:34:41
Georgia
00:34:45
dance she told Daryl that she was
00:34:47
divorced and that her two young
00:34:49
daughters Sally and Angel lived with a
00:34:52
woman that Georgia called granny Daryl
00:34:55
later learned that she was not a
00:34:57
relative granny this is Daryl hi
00:35:03
Daryl within 2 weeks Georgia and her
00:35:06
daughters moved into darold's house it
00:35:09
wasn't long before he noticed that
00:35:11
Georgia was paranoid about something or
00:35:14
someone Georgia finally admitted that
00:35:17
she was afraid her ex-husband would try
00:35:20
to kidnap the
00:35:23
children 6 weeks later members of The
00:35:26
Outlaw motorcycle gang the Devil's

00:38:03
date she just did not want me to know a
00:38:06
lot of things that could hurt
00:38:09
me and she asked me if anything ever
00:38:12
happened to her to please take care of
00:38:15
her children and I said I
00:38:18

00:38:21
first son she suffered complications and
00:38:24
darald was granted a hardship discharge
00:38:27
they move moved back to his hometown in
00:38:29
Michigan where Georgia became pregnant
00:38:31
again after their second son was born
00:38:34

00:38:37
you guys I getting up walking around
00:38:39
it's the only way Hees are going to go
00:38:40
away well after a couple of weeks of
00:38:43
this I called an ambulance because she
00:38:45
could not get up to even go to the
00:38:47
bathroom anymore the ambulance came and
00:38:50
picked her up and took her to the
00:38:53
hospital Georgia lapsed into a coma
00:38:57
the diagnosis of brain aneurysm
00:39:01
technically Georgia was brain dead
00:39:04
change why don't you spend some time
00:39:06
with her and come see me in my office is
00:39:10
there a
00:39:11
chance I don't think so
00:39:22
darl Georgia tacy was just 22 years old
00:39:25
when she died she left behind two
00:39:28
daughters from her first marriage two
00:39:30
young sons from her marriage to daral
00:39:33
and a legacy of unanswered
00:39:38
questions I don't care about what she
00:39:40
did in her past I'm not looking to find
00:39:43
out what she had done or anything else I
00:39:46
want to know who she is and I want to
00:39:49
know her side of the family so I can
00:39:51
tell them this lady has died because as
00:39:54
far as I know nobody knows
00:39:59
update Daryl tacy's long search is
00:40:02
finally over on the night of our
00:40:05
broadcast a viewer called with the news
00:40:07
that Georgia's real name was Edith
00:40:10
Geraldine John's
00:40:13
Moore a few days later daral and all his
00:40:16
children arrived in Savannah Georgia for
00:40:18
a reunion with his late wife's
00:40:26
family I was nervous about meeting these
00:40:30
people I didn't know how they would take
00:40:32
this uh I figured there'd be
00:40:35
tears and so I was really leer scared I
00:40:39
guess you could call it but after I met
00:40:42
him there were the
00:40:44
tears but I felt relieved finally to
00:40:47
tell them she had passed
00:40:51
away the reunion was a mix of sadness
00:40:54
and joy perhaps the happiest moment was
00:40:57
When Sally and Angel met their natural
00:41:00
father Gary Moore for the first time
00:41:03
since they were very young
00:41:06
children that's your Grandpa Grandpa it
00:41:09
was it still is unreal I mean it's hard
00:41:11
to comprehend all this is
00:41:14
happening I found my two daughters after
00:41:16
15 years plus I'm a grandfather twice
00:41:18
over that still takes a little getting
00:41:20
used
00:41:22
to I'm too young to be a grandfather but
00:41:26
I reckon I'll have to accept
00:41:28
Sally and Angel received even a bigger
00:41:30
surprise when they learned that their
00:41:32
mother had two other children from a
00:41:35
previous marriage Eugene and Rhonda by
00:41:39
bringing together Sally and angel with
00:41:41
their blood relatives Daryl felt that he
00:41:43
had finally fulfilled his obligation to
00:41:47
his late wife we're going to sit down
00:41:49
and we're going to talk with with the
00:41:52
family and we may it together and
00:41:57
just get to know each
00:42:00
