Jesus Christ and that it bears a

00:03:02
On January 28 1991 a young man was found
00:03:06
wandering aimlessly through the desert
00:03:08
30 miles from Las Vegas Nevada he was
00:03:12
dressed in three layers of clothing
00:03:13
carried no identification and had
00:03:16
apparently been in the desert for at
00:03:17
least three days
00:03:32
he was rushed to hospital suffering from
00:03:34
exposure and extreme dehydration
00:03:39
are you having any pain anywhere the
00:03:43
patient was diagnosed with psychogenic
00:03:45
amnesia a condition caused not by
00:03:47
physical injury but by some traumatic
00:03:49
emotional experience while a mysterious
00:03:57
young man quickly regained his physical
00:03:59
health his memory remained completely
00:04:00
and totally blocked the hospital staff
00:04:03
gave him the name Tyler and enrolled him
00:04:05
in a state-funded program which provided
00:04:07
a job in an apartment in the past nine
00:04:10
months several tantalizing clues of
00:04:11
surfaced but Tyler is still a man
00:04:14
without an identity tonight he
00:04:16
desperately hopes that someone watching
00:04:18
can finally tell him who he is
00:04:21
[Music]
00:04:23
authorities in Las Vegas were baffled
00:04:25
they found no one reported missing who
00:04:28
matched Tyler's description there was no
00:04:30
record of his fingerprints of the FBI
00:04:32
the Department of Defense of the CIA
00:04:35
however doctors did find two clues
00:04:38
evidence of hairline fractures in the
00:04:40
knuckles of both hands and what is
00:04:41
believed to be an old gunshot wound on
00:04:43
his right thigh otherwise it is as if
00:04:46
Tyler never existed
00:04:50
then another clue surfaced during a
00:04:53
conversation with a fellow patient from
00:04:55
San Diego California Tyler got the eerie
00:04:58
feeling that he once lived there but the
00:05:00
recollections were vague and lacked any
00:05:02
detail until he underwent hypnosis under
00:05:06
hypnosis this kind of sharpened the
00:05:08
memories that I was having and it
00:05:10
brought pictures to them whereas most of
00:05:12
my memories of the past came to me just
00:05:15
seemed like words coming out of my mouth
00:05:16
and more like I was looking at a piece
00:05:19
of paper then I was really living the
00:05:21
memory and this brought life to it I
00:05:24
started remembering a lot about the
00:05:26
beaches and different things around the
00:05:28
beaches I also remembered a lot about
00:05:30
the military bases in San Diego there's
00:05:32
North Island Naval Air Station there's a
00:05:36
Coast Guard airfield right across from
00:05:38
Lindbergh Field actually more like a
00:05:40
hangar and they have a gate that they
00:05:41
open up and bring the planes across
00:05:43
Harbor Boulevard there and I just really
00:05:47
got a sense of belonging like San Diego
00:05:50
was the place that I needed to be
00:05:53
under hypnosis Tyler also vividly
00:05:56
recalled flying over San Diego he was
00:05:59
struck by the certainty that he knew how
00:06:01
to pilot an airplane
00:06:04
Tyler felt that getting behind the
00:06:07
controls of a plane might help trigger
00:06:08
additional memories accompanied by a
00:06:11
flight instructor he put his uncanny
00:06:13
knowledge of flying into the test
00:06:23
finally complete control of the plane
00:06:25
was given to Tyler and he brought it in
00:06:27
for a landing the instructor concluded
00:06:35
that although a little rusty Tyler had
00:06:37
definitely flown before
00:06:41
as time passed more intriguing clues
00:06:45
emerged
00:06:46
although Tyler cannot remember his own
00:06:48
name incredibly he can single-handedly
00:06:50
dismantle and rebuild a sophisticated
00:06:52
racecar engine he also possesses highly
00:06:57
developed skills of scuba diving martial
00:06:59
arts and computer programming perhaps
00:07:02
most intriguing of all is titres
00:07:04
detailed an intimate knowledge of the
00:07:06
bombing mechanisms found on the navy's a
00:07:08
six attack plane many clues suggest that
00:07:11
tyler has some kind of military
00:07:13
background but no record of this man
00:07:15
discovered in the desert last January
00:07:18
has been found with a navy or any other
00:07:20
branch of the service and really kind of
00:07:24
a difficult point my life right now
00:07:25
where I can't move ahead with myself I
00:07:29
can't get on with my life I can't do
00:07:31
anything really I'm almost like an
00:07:33
illegal alien here I I have no
00:07:36
identification of any of any form now I
00:07:39
can't go to work because I I'm not
00:07:42
eligible for a Social Security number I
00:07:43
can't drive a car because I don't have a
00:07:46
social security number or a date of
00:07:47
birth
00:07:49
I'm starting to feel more frustrated as
00:07:53
the days go by because I really feel
00:07:55
this needs to come to an end I do need
00:07:57
to find out who I am a County
00:08:02
psychiatrist diagnosed tighters a
00:08:04
genuine victim of amnesia last month as
00:08:07
case took on added urgency when the
00:08:09
state funding was provided his job an
00:08:10
apartment was abruptly cut off then on
00:08:13
the night of our broadcast
00:08:15
Tyler searched for his identity came to
00:08:16
a poignant but unsettling conclusion
00:08:18
within minutes Tata was reunited with
00:08:21
his mother by phone but as more details
00:08:24
emerged some began to believe that Tyler
00:08:26
may not have lost his memory at all that
00:08:31
evening
00:08:32
Tyler gathered his friends to watch the
00:08:34
show before his segment even aired in
00:08:36
Las Vegas a man from Boise Idaho called
00:08:39
our telecentre and identified Tyler as
00:08:41
his son unsolved mysteries immediately
00:08:44
contacted Tyler looking to
00:08:50
cross-reference and we have located your
00:08:53
family for you
00:08:53
you have I have located your dad and
00:08:56
your mother and your a wife who you've
00:08:59
been separated from since February of
00:09:02
1990 and she they've informed me that
00:09:06
you also have two children and your wife
00:09:08
lives in Iowa your mother okay learned
00:09:15
that his real name is Arthur Paul Beal
00:09:17
but he goes by Paul he is 23 years old
00:09:21
before he was stricken with amnesia
00:09:23
he lived in Boise Idaho a few minutes
00:09:26
later a nervous Paul Beale called the
00:09:28
mother and stepfather he could not
00:09:30
remember hello may I speak with mrs.
00:09:34
beale this is your son
00:09:39
how are you you smell great
00:09:46
I've waited so long to hear you talk I'm
00:09:58
scared I bet you are I don't remember
00:10:05
you I'll help you Paul the emotional
00:10:09
phone call lasted nearly 20 minutes
00:10:16
okay a short time later the case of Paul
00:10:26
Beale aka Tyler doe took a stunning and
00:10:29
unexpected twist North Las Vegas police
00:10:38
arrived and placed Paul under arrest for
00:10:40
grand larceny he was wanted by Boise
00:10:43
police in connection with a stolen
00:10:45
shipment of frozen food I've come to get
00:10:56
my son
00:10:57
the next night Paul's mother Lynn Beale
00:11:00
arrived from Iowa to post bail for him
00:11:10
[Music]
00:11:10
Oh
00:11:15
the reunion was both emotional and
00:11:18
awkward
00:11:19
Paul Beale still did not recognize his
00:11:21
own mother it's strange being apart and
00:11:32
has not remembering anything about me
00:11:34
not knowing who I am I just want to push
00:11:37
everything into his head we can remember
00:11:39
everything I want to make sure I can do
00:11:42
things to help him I'm scared I don't
00:11:44
want to do something to push it back
00:11:46
farther I want to reinforce happy
00:11:52
thoughts good memories no I just want to
00:11:56
know I can I'm relieved that he's safe
00:12:01
he's alive the reunion was tempered not
00:12:06
only by Paul's amnesia but by the
00:12:08
criminal charge against him
00:12:11
in Boise Paul was a salesman for a food
00:12:14
supply company in January 5th 1991 he
00:12:18
left for Las Vegas to sell a shipment of
00:12:20
frozen food he never returned to Boise
00:12:23
on January 25th
00:12:25
Paul surfaced with the empty truck in
00:12:27
Boulder City Nevada during his question
00:12:29
but not arrested by local police at that
00:12:33
particular time my impression of mr.
00:12:37
Beal was that he was very intelligent
00:12:40
very well-versed very possibly well
00:12:45
educated very clean-cut and extremely
00:12:49
talkative
00:12:50
it just wasn't Paul that isn't something
00:12:53
he would do
00:12:54
he's done silly stupid things like
00:12:57
anybody else has made mistakes but
00:12:59
nothing to the degree that this was
00:13:01
where he was actually breaking the law I
00:13:04
told him when he left Isis boys are
00:13:08
gonna get a warrant for you you know
00:13:10
they're gonna do it it's gonna be grand
00:13:11
larceny felony so it's just a matter of
00:13:13
time you better get up there go back up
00:13:15
there he said yeah I'm going back now
00:13:17
I'm going right back up there and take
00:13:19
care of the situation it'll be fine
00:13:23
three days after he was detained Paul
00:13:25
Beale who came to be known as Tyler was
00:13:28
found wandering in the desert detective
00:13:30
Bowman raises the obvious and disturbing
00:13:32
question is Paul Beale faking amnesia is
00:13:37
easy I don't know who are you I don't
00:13:40
know where are you from I don't know do
00:13:42
you know anything I don't know that's
00:13:44
just easy and we got like him he's
00:13:46
convincing is this the four of you this
00:13:54
still isn't my son-in in the fact that
00:13:57
this isn't how he would react to me we
00:14:00
were very close I could tell by his eyes
00:14:03
when I first saw him tonight that he
00:14:05
really didn't recognize me he was he
00:14:08
wanted to I could see it in his face he
00:14:11
wanted to if he was faking it there was
00:14:15
no way he could have faked that I am NOT
00:14:18
and have not throughout this entire
00:14:20
ordeal faked anything this is probably
00:14:24
the most horrifying nightmare that
00:14:28
anybody could go through losing an
00:14:30
identity losing every ounce and fiber of
00:14:36
a person's life having it pulled away
00:14:39
and then nine months later I have it
00:14:44
given back to you or have it presented
00:14:48
to you but you still don't don't have it
00:14:54
and I give anything in the world to
00:14:57
remember right now next an international
00:15:12
fugitives what is for the cold-blooded
00:15:13
poisoning of his own wife in March of
00:15:31
1967 27 year old June Maloney of
00:15:34
Rochester New York walked out on her
00:15:36
husband Joseph after five years of
00:15:38
emotional and physical abuse force what
00:15:41
about the kids in a formal agreement
00:15:44
junus in custody of the couple's two
00:15:46
young children
00:15:47
Joe was allowed to visit whenever he
00:15:49
wished June confided in me that Joe had
00:15:56
roughed her up a couple of times he
00:15:59
didn't hit her she was bruised but he
00:16:01
wasn't above with this flaring Irish
00:16:04
temper of turning bright red and jumping
00:16:06
around hollering and yelling and looking
00:16:08
very dangerous and perhaps grabbing hold
00:16:10
of him shaking it and that's that's
00:16:13
pretty intimidating so Neil suppose I
00:16:17
wanted to kill a dog what kind of poison
00:16:20
could I use that couldn't be traced
00:16:22
certainly after June moved out Joe
00:16:25
Maloney paid Neil Duncan an unexpected
00:16:27
visit Neil an amateur chemist had set up
00:16:31
a laboratory in the basement of his
00:16:32
mother's home trouble is they're very
00:16:36
difficult to calibrate he told me that
00:16:40
there was a dog who was continuously
00:16:42
tipping over his garbage cans and giving
00:16:44
him fits and he would like to poison the
00:16:46
dog but he was a little little shaky
00:16:49
about doing this because it belonged to
00:16:51
a policeman that lived in his
00:16:53
neighborhood
00:16:55
or as you would get it in a chemical
00:16:57
supply company wouldn't it no choice Joe
00:17:00
showed interest in one particular
00:17:01
chemical a clear liquid was chosen
00:17:04
dermis tasteless and lethal when
00:17:07
ingested in sufficient amounts when Joe
00:17:12
comes in and picks my mind about
00:17:14
something like this immediately
00:17:18
afterward I would start thinking why did
00:17:20
he want to know that and I I got
00:17:24
cautious I went up and I double locked
00:17:26
the side door that led into my
00:17:28
laboratory and I informed the members of
00:17:31
my family that no one was to go into my
00:17:33
lab to keep everybody out and especially
00:17:36
to keep Joe out thank you so much I
00:17:41
appreciate this your life unfortunately
00:17:45
it didn't work my younger sister was at
00:17:50
home on a week two weeks later perhaps
00:17:53
and Joe showed up at the house and sweet
00:17:58
talked her into letting him into my
00:18:01
laboratory because he had to sterilize
00:18:03
some instruments that's all I need there
00:18:07
that's it all done
00:18:14
two weeks later June arrived to Joe's
00:18:17
house for their son's fifth birthday
00:18:18
party Joe offered Jonah drink and she
00:18:24
stayed at the party for two hours New
00:18:26
York you know Joey told me this was his
00:18:30
best birthday party ever okay it's fine
00:18:34
Joe
00:18:34
glad you stayed it's a real nice during
00:18:37
the time that she was at Joe's for the
00:18:38
parody she had called up and she was
00:18:42
kind of like wound up different than
00:18:46
when she left and I had asked her I said
00:18:49
June I said how many drinks did you have
00:18:51
when she says why and I only had two and
00:18:55
so she went to her apartment you know a
00:18:59
while later I went over to check on her
00:19:00
and I asked her she wanted me to stay
00:19:03
with her
00:19:03
she's know she said that was not
00:19:06
necessary you know she was didn't feel
00:19:09
quite well and she was gonna go to bed
00:19:12
the next morning Wanda Moore Denker was
00:19:15
surprised to find Joe Maloney and a
00:19:18
doctor in the hall outside Joon's
00:19:20
apartment everything all right here
00:19:23
June isn't feeling too well so I called
00:19:25
the doctor over she's gonna be fine I
00:19:27
think I'll go check on her no I don't
00:19:28
think that's a good idea right now one
00:19:30
day I'll just be a couple minutes when I
00:19:36
went in to check on Jim hyeju she was
00:19:40
there and we were in the bedroom talking
00:19:42
and she didn't want to leave her alone
00:19:45
with Joe she wanted me to stay with her
00:19:47
that was quite definite she wanted me to
00:19:49
stay with us so I did so what did the
00:19:53
doctor say he said he thought it was
00:19:56
food poisoning but I think it's
00:19:58
something else hmm
00:20:02
all soon she stopped and it was like a
00:20:07
almost I would almost have to say a fear
00:20:10
look in her eyes and I looked over and
00:20:13
Joe was standing in the doorway
00:20:16
can I get you anything June no thank you
00:20:20
what are you doing I'm just going to the
00:20:24
bathroom to get some aspirin aspirin
00:20:26
I'll get you the aspirin she got up and
00:20:29
walked around a little bit with a bantam
00:20:31
as he fell behind her I told you before
00:20:34
I don't want to be here
00:20:36
look Joe I'm just trying to help who
00:20:37
wants your help June is a friend of mine
00:20:40

00:20:45
the store get me some plop okay I'll get
00:20:51

00:20:54
[Music]
00:21:00
the next day June lapsed into a coma and
00:21:03
was immediately hospitalized
00:21:04
despite his battery of tests doctors

Joe Maloney seemed unruffled by his
00:21:22
wife's condition he offered his own
00:21:25
explanation doctor my marriage has been
00:21:29
on the rocks for about six months now
00:21:30
we're separated not living together
00:21:33
lately she's been despondent depressed
00:21:37
not getting along with people at work
00:21:38
being irritable with my son I think
00:21:41
there's a possibility that she might
00:21:43
have attempted suicide here Joe had
00:21:47
tried to commend me the tune you commit
00:21:49
suicide and he told me that I shouldn't
00:21:52
talk to anybody about anything so a few
00:21:54
tests I didn't think she would commit
00:21:57
suicide
00:21:58
I really wasn't it but I was afraid that
00:22:01
they would you know somehow they would
00:22:03
make it look like that June Maloney
00:22:07
never regained consciousness on June 5th
00:22:11
1967 she died
00:22:13
an autopsy determined that June had
00:22:15
ingested a lethal dose of the same type
00:22:17
of chemical Joe had taken from Neal's
00:22:20
lab
00:22:24
four hours after his wife's death Joe
00:22:27
Maloney was arrested and charged with
00:22:29
first-degree murder
00:22:31
it was Sun right I thought she would get
00:22:35
better but she never did it was a shock
00:22:43
right I couldn't believe that it
00:22:45
happened and he would do that to her
00:22:48
against his attorneys advice Maloney has
00:22:51
to be committed to the rochesters state
00:22:53
mental hospital for psychiatric
00:22:54
evaluation the court granted his request
00:23:01
authorities were unaware that Joe
00:23:03
Maloney had once worked at the hospital
00:23:05
and was familiar with the layout on
00:23:12
September 25th 1967 less than two weeks
00:23:15
after he was admitted Joe Maloney
00:23:18
escaped from the hospital and
00:23:19
disappeared
00:23:24
five years later and more than three
00:23:27
thousand miles away
00:23:28
authorities in Dublin Ireland were
00:23:30
called to investigate a burglary at the
00:23:32
home of a mr. Michael O'Shea morning
00:23:37
Sarah
00:23:38
constable Devaney this is constable
00:23:39
McCormick the police apparently already
00:23:41
knew Michael O'Shea he didn't have any
00:23:45
criminal record in Ireland there was no
00:23:47
allegation of criminal wrongdoing on his
00:23:49
part but they were looking for the
00:23:53
burglars prints all the people who were
00:23:55
in the house obviously weren't the
00:23:56
burglar so they wanted to be able to
00:23:59
eliminate those prints from the prints
00:24:01
taken do you mind if we check the
00:24:04
mantelpiece and the desk for
00:24:05
fingerprints oh no none at all do you
00:24:09
mind if we take your own my own for
00:24:12
elimination purposes its standard
00:24:15
procedure oh well fine okay it allowed
00:24:19
them to take his fingerprints
00:24:21
well this detective went right into his
00:24:25
office and sent it into Interpol and he
00:24:28
had a hit investigators were stunned to
00:24:32
discover that Michael O'Shea's
00:24:33
fingerprints matched Joseph's Maloney's
00:24:38
incredibly the twisted Odyssey of Joseph
00:24:41
Maloney was not over he could not be
00:24:43
arrested because Ireland in the United
00:24:45
States had no extradition agreement but
00:24:48
1984 the Irish parliament did pass an
00:24:50
extradition treaty after 18 years at
00:24:53
large joseph Maloney aka Michael O'Shea
00:24:56
was finally taken into custody he was
00:24:59
held without bail all the while
00:25:00
steadfastly denying that he with Joseph
00:25:03
Moloney
00:25:05
[Music]
00:25:09
the suspect remained incarcerated for 14
00:25:13
months at Mount Joy prison outside
00:25:14
Dublin he refused to cooperate with the
00:25:17
authorities and did not allow himself to
00:25:19
be photographed then in 1986 the
00:25:23
irish-american extradition treaty was
00:25:26
voided because of a legal technicality
00:25:28
on July 24th of that year
00:25:33
Joseph Maloney walked out of prison and
00:25:35
disappeared perhaps forever when we
00:25:50
returned the intriguing mystery of the
00:25:52
Shroud of Turin could it be the actual
00:25:54
burial cloth of Jesus Christ
00:26:00
[Music]
00:26:13
the face of Christ Jesus of Nazareth his
00:26:18
life and death of inspired artists
00:26:20
through the ages but how did they know
00:26:23
what Jesus looked like
00:26:28
for more than 13 centuries depictions of
00:26:31
Jesus have been remarkably similar to
00:26:33
one another yet the Bible does not
00:26:35
contain a single word a physical
00:26:37
description many people think this piece
00:26:41
of linen holds the key it is called the
00:26:44
Shroud of Turin
00:26:45
[Music]
00:26:49
according to the Bible Jesus was wrapped
00:26:52
in fine linen after he was taken from
00:26:54
the cross many believed the Shroud of
00:26:57
Turin is the actual burial cloth of
00:26:59
Jesus Christ and that through some
00:27:01
miracle his image was imprinted on its
00:27:03
threads this is the shroud
00:27:11
it is three and a half feet wide and 14
00:27:14
feet long the brown marks and wires on
00:27:17
either side of the image are the results
00:27:19
of a fire after the fire these
00:27:21
triangular patches were sold on by nuns
00:27:32
this Renaissance painting shows how the
00:27:35
14 foot long shroud would have covered
00:27:37
the body of Jesus front and back on the
00:27:41
second half of the shroud there is a
00:27:43
rear image showing a man of powerful
00:27:46
build five feet 10 inches in height the
00:27:49
faint imprints between the scorch marks
00:27:51
are the source of hundreds of years of
00:27:53
controversy when I first began to study
00:27:57
the Shroud of Turin I was convinced it
00:27:59
was a crock and that it would take me
00:28:01
probably less than two hours to put away
00:28:04
this pious fraud after all anyone with
00:28:08
an IQ of a hundred or over knows that
00:28:11
all relics by definition or frauds but I
00:28:14
must admit Here I am some 17 years later
00:28:18
I who came to scoff have stayed to pray
00:28:21
my own personal belief is that the
00:28:24
Shroud is probably authentic
00:28:28
the Shroud was first exhibited publicly
00:28:31
in Lyrae France around 1355 AD in the
00:28:34
Renaissance period no one seemed to know
00:28:37
where it had come from a venturi the
00:28:41
Shroud was acquired by the Royal House
00:28:42
of Savoy
00:28:43
in 1578 ad they moved it to Turin Italy
00:28:48
where it was rarely shown in public in
00:28:51
1898 the Savoy is allowed the Shroud to
00:28:54
be photographed for the first time by a
00:28:56
man named segunda Pia surprisingly his
00:29:00
photographic negatives showed more
00:29:02
detail than could be seen by the naked
00:29:04
eye he was to write of this experience
00:29:07
years later and would never forget that
00:29:11
as he lifted that glass plate he
00:29:14
believed that he was the first person in
00:29:16
two thousand years to have seen the face
00:29:18
of Jesus of Nazareth from that point on
00:29:23
the Shroud of Turin became more and more
00:29:25
an object of scientific inquiry dr.
00:29:31
Robert Buckland a forensic pathologist
00:29:32
has examined life-sized photographic
00:29:35
negatives of the Shroud looking for
00:29:37
wounds that might correspond to the
00:29:39
crucifixion the body shows a number of
00:29:43
injuries on the head we see a series of
00:29:47
bloodstains around the forehead high in
00:29:50
the scalp and along the posterior
00:29:54
portion of the scalp these are
00:29:56
consistent with the application of a
00:29:59
crown or a cap of thorns on the chest
00:30:02
area there's a rather unique wound it is
00:30:06
quite consistent with a puncture type
00:30:08
wound made by an implement which entered
00:30:12
the chest cavity and produced an outflow
00:30:14
of Vote blood and water in the region of
00:30:19
the left wrist
00:30:21
there is a puncture wound which was
00:30:23
clearly made by some implement which
00:30:26
passed into the tissues of the wrist and
00:30:28
produced bleeding
00:30:31
the crucifixion of Jesus has
00:30:33
traditionally been depicted with nails
00:30:35
driven through his palms if it is real
00:30:38
why would the shroud show puncture
00:30:40
wounds through the wrists surprisingly
00:30:44
modern research has confirmed that at
00:30:45
the time of Jesus's death nails were in
00:30:48
fact driven through the victims wrists
00:30:52
dr. Pierre barbae a French surgeon long
00:30:55
ago proved that a nail through the palm
00:30:58
would not support the weight of the body
00:31:00
the Romans did enough of these sometimes
00:31:02
500 a day to be excellent anatomist and
00:31:07
like a butcher they knew where the bones
00:31:09
were they put it in the wrist and it
00:31:12
held the body and held it well da studio
00:31:15
Capilouto fre and she do it from the
00:31:18
studies I've made on Roman crucifixion
00:31:21
I've been able to prove that the Shroud
00:31:24
is an authentic image of Roman
00:31:27
crucifixion whereas the medieval this
00:31:31
form of crucifixion was unknown
00:31:35
according to many the Shroud of Turin is
00:31:38
authentic they hold that is somehow
00:31:40
survived for nearly 2,000 years that
00:31:43
it's stained with the blood of Jesus and
00:31:45
bears a miraculous imprint of his body
00:31:48
however some scientists believe that the
00:31:50
imprint on the shroud is more likely a
00:31:52
masterful work in medieval French or
00:31:54
Italian art a painting with brushstrokes
00:31:57
so delicate they cannot be seen by the
00:31:59
naked eye a controversy about the
00:32:02
shrouds origins has taken on all the
00:32:03
earmarks of an obsession for believers
00:32:06
skeptics alike in 1978 the shroud is
00:32:12
made available to a number of scientists
00:32:14
for the first time using particles
00:32:18
lifted from the Shroud with adhesive
00:32:19
tape biophysicist John Heller and
00:32:22
chemist alan adler determined that there
00:32:24
was blood on the cloth further their
00:32:27
analysis showed chemical composition
00:32:29
reflecting severe torture consistent
00:32:31
with crucifixion their findings however
00:32:34
are not universally accepted when I
00:32:38
first started working on it I expected
00:32:39
it to be authentic and I looked for body
00:32:42
fluids that's where I started
00:32:44
but the red turned out to be red ocher
00:32:46
and another pigment Vermillion these are
00:32:50
common artist pigments there's no
00:32:52
question in my mind that it is a
00:32:55
painting many copies of the Shroud were
00:32:58
made it was felt by pious people at that
00:33:01
time if you touch the copy to the
00:33:04
original it would give the copy extra
00:33:07
sanctity it's called a brand IAM as the
00:33:10
technical name when they were touched of
00:33:12
course some of that pigment ended up on
00:33:14
the Shroud and that is what has been
00:33:16
discovered but it is not responsible for
00:33:19
the image let alone the whole body image
00:33:22
total front and total back dr. max Frei
00:33:27
renowned swiss botanist who died in 1983
00:33:30
also examined tape samples he discovered
00:33:34
plant pollen trapped in the threads of
00:33:36
the shroud these microscopic organisms
00:33:39
have hard shells that allow them to
00:33:41
survive for thousands of years dr. Frey
00:33:45
found several pollens in the shroud that
00:33:46
were not native to Europe in a
00:33:49
documentary made 5 years before his
00:33:51
death Frey stated that most of the
00:33:53
pollens came from the Middle East
00:33:54
including the area around Jerusalem
00:33:57
where Jesus was crucified
00:33:58
oddly some of the pollens came from the
00:34:01
region we now know is Turkey the
00:34:05
presence of such a significant number of
00:34:08
pollens from plants growing in Turkey
00:34:11
leads me to one fundamental conclusion
00:34:14
at some time of its history the shroud
00:34:19
must have been exposed to the air in
00:34:22
southern Turkey or the surroundings of
00:34:25
Istanbul
00:34:27
if the shroud is genuine could it have
00:34:30
been taken to Turkey after Jesus's death
00:34:32
and kept there for more than a thousand
00:34:34
years some believe the answer lies in a
00:34:37
centuries-old legend which originated in
00:34:39
a Turkish city of Edessa around the year
00:34:46
33 AD the king Apgar fell ill he had
00:34:50
heard of Jesus's power to cure and sent
00:34:52
for him the king was not aware that
00:34:55
Jesus was already dead one of his
00:34:59
disciples arrived instead carrying a
00:35:01
mysterious image of the face of Christ
00:35:03
the king was immediately cured and the
00:35:06
image came to be known as he Edessa
00:35:08
cloth it was then known only as a face
00:35:13
cloth but there's a keyword in ancient
00:35:15
documents tetra died Paul which means
00:35:18
doubled in four if you double the shroud
00:35:21
in four you end up with a little
00:35:23
rectangle with a face in the middle many
00:35:26
believe that the Edessa cloth was the
00:35:28
Shroud folded and partially covered to
00:35:31
show only the face because grave clothes
00:35:33
were considered untouchable
00:35:39
the Edessa cloth was eventually brought
00:35:41
to Constantinople now Istanbul in 1204
00:35:47
AD Crusaders sacked the city and the
00:35:50
cloth vanished
00:35:57
150 years later the Shroud surfaced in
00:36:00
France are the pollens found by Max Frey
00:36:03
proved that the shroud was brought to
00:36:05
France by returning Crusaders I think
00:36:10
it's impossible I'm in an awkward spot
00:36:15
at this point because max Frye was a
00:36:17
friend of mine but I think that he
00:36:19
wanted the shroud to be real so badly
00:36:21
that he found pollen grains which I
00:36:25
didn't find I had another set of tapes
00:36:26
and I did not find the same pollens
00:36:31
optical specialist Kevin Moran claims
00:36:33
that computer studies reveal the unique
00:36:36
qualities of the image on the shroud
00:36:39
when I take a normal photograph such as
00:36:43
this child and I place the child under
00:36:46
the analyzer you can immediately see a
00:36:49
very distorted figure the nose with
00:36:53
respect to the cheek is totally
00:36:55
distorted and this is because this is a
00:36:58
reflected image this image is made by
00:37:01
reflected light this is not what we see
00:37:04
on the Shroud the Shroud is a very
00:37:06
different type of image the image
00:37:10
immediately comes into a
00:37:12
three-dimensional form the eyes and nose
00:37:16
mouth relationship are all clearly
00:37:18
recognizable the image on the shroud is
00:37:22
so unique that it almost enters a
00:37:25
scientific faith factor all by itself
00:37:29
many people believe that the
00:37:31
resurrection caused a burst of radiation
00:37:34
when the body was transformed to its new
00:37:37
existence this burst of radiation marked
00:37:41
the shroud
00:37:42
incredible image
00:37:45
there simply is no way we can duplicate
00:37:49
this image even today even now and
00:37:53
people have certainly tried
00:37:57
investigative journalist Joe Nickell
00:37:59
created this pigment on cloth facsimile
00:38:01
of the face on the Shroud Nichols image
00:38:05
is very similar in appearance to the
00:38:07
Shroud of Turin under the computer
00:38:10
analyzer it does exhibit some but not
00:38:12
all of the characteristics displayed by
00:38:15
the Shroud image this is the Joe Nichols
00:38:20
painting well note the height of the
00:38:23
hair and the heights of forehead the
00:38:25
nose cheek these are all quite at the
00:38:27
same height there's no proportioning or
00:38:30
no shading here's a man of the shroud
00:38:35
notice particularly that the nose is
00:38:39
sticking above the rest of the face
00:38:41
either cheeks the proportions of the
00:38:44
cheeks to mouth to chin area in respect
00:38:47
to the nose are quite good in the
00:38:49
forehead across the forehead
00:38:51
notice how the hair actually stands up a
00:38:54
little bit but not too much bolstering
00:38:58
Moran's work believers say the fact that
00:39:01
no brushstrokes appear on the shroud
00:39:03
proves it is not a painting skeptics
00:39:06
point out that Leonardo da Vinci's
00:39:07
brushstrokes were often invisible some
00:39:10
maintain of the shroud we know today was
00:39:12
painted by Leonardo on commissioned by
00:39:14
the Savoy family in her diary
00:39:17
the last widow of the House of Savoy
00:39:19
wrote
00:39:20
believe the shroud was not authentic
00:39:25
in an effort to resolve the
00:39:27
centuries-old controversy the Vatican
00:39:29
allowed samples to be cut from the outer
00:39:31
edges of the Shroud in 1988
00:39:33
each of three universities are provided
00:39:36
with a tiny piece of linen for carbon
00:39:38
dating
00:39:43
dr. Paul Damon at the University of
00:39:45
Arizona headed the carbon-dating team in
00:39:48
the United States their findings placed
00:39:50
the shrouds origin between 1290 and 1360
00:39:54
ad with less than five minutes we could
00:39:59
see that it could not possibly be first
00:40:01
century the difference between 14th
00:40:04
century in first century is so great
00:40:06
that you could see it within a few
00:40:07
minutes in the first measurement we made
00:40:09
quite a few measurements 16 but that was
00:40:13
enough
00:40:14
the rest of us would say we have no
00:40:17
disagreement with what they dated but
00:40:21
are you sure you dated the main body of
00:40:23
the shroud or might you have dated a
00:40:26
patch or re with my co-principal
00:40:30
investigator who is Irish from an Irish
00:40:35
Catholic family and tried to be quite
00:40:38
blase about the whole process looked
00:40:40
very dejected and I said Doug what's
00:40:42
what's wrong and he said I didn't think
00:40:44
I'd be disappointed but I'm terribly
00:40:46
disappointed the Vatican accepted the
00:40:51
results of Paul Damon's carbon dating at
00:40:53
the same time carbon dating tests done
00:40:55
in Switzerland and England confirmed
00:40:57
Damon's findings in 1989 the Vatican
00:41:01
issued a statement allowing that the
00:41:02
shroud was a suitable object for
00:41:04
meditation and veneration the statement
00:41:07
did not dispute the carbon testing
00:41:09
results on August 18th 1990 the Vatican
00:41:15
agreed to accept proposals for a new
00:41:17
route of scientific tests on the Shroud
00:41:19
of Turin the proposals could possibly
00:41:21
include new carbon dating but perhaps
00:41:24
scientific analysis no matter how
00:41:26
fascinating or controversial misses the
00:41:28
point of the Shroud of Turin for true
00:41:31
believers further testing will make
00:41:33
little difference for them the Shroud
00:41:35
has always been simply a matter of faith
00:41:41
next authorities need your help to solve
00:41:44
the brutal murder of an elderly
00:41:46
grandmother
00:41:46
[Music]
00:41:58
the tranquil rolling hills of rural
00:42:00
Orange County Virginia are less than 70
00:42:02
miles but a world away from the streets
00:42:04
of Washington DC this peaceful landscape
00:42:08
is an ideal setting for families looking
00:42:11
to escape the crime and congestion of
00:42:13
the nation's capital
00:42:14
[Music]
00:42:18
the community of burrow Hill consists of
00:42:21
little more than a post office and a few
00:42:22
homes per Ethel kid and her husband
00:42:25
Gilbert the Township seemed the perfect
00:42:27
refuge from the big city
00:42:29
they bought a plot of land in Burr Hill
00:42:32
the 1988 began building the retirement
00:42:35
home
00:42:38
/ Ethel kid the move was a dream come
00:42:41
true her children and grandchildren
00:42:43
lived in the area a 61 years of age much
00:42:47
of Ethel's life centered around her
00:42:49
family she was a good person she was
00:42:52
liked by everybody she she'd like to
00:42:56
cook she liked to have cookouts and
00:43:00
picnics and she just enjoyed life
00:43:06
Wednesday April 12th 1989 brought the
00:43:10
promise of an ordinary day in the
00:43:11
country the house was nearly complete
00:43:14
and Ethel was spending most of her time
00:43:15
in bur Hill that morning she visited her
00:43:19
daughter who lived less than a mile away
00:43:21
Ethel returned home and was seen
00:43:24
checking her mailbox shortly after 2
00:43:26
p.m.
00:43:26
there was nothing to suggest the
00:43:29
sinister events which were about to
00:43:31
unfold Thursday the next morning my wife
00:43:36
called her mother about 7:30 and the
00:43:40
answer machine answered and she said
00:43:43
that's funny mom
00:43:44
must've left earlier she's on her way
00:43:46
here to have a cup of coffee but 9:30 I
00:43:51
rolled by I saw the car there something
00:43:55
hit me that something's wrong if she
00:43:58
didn't have to the phone
00:44:04
I saw this book then I saw that it was a
00:44:08
an atlas of math and I just picked it up
00:44:13
Kerry - Whitney I thought maybe Eiffel
00:44:15
may have dropped it
00:44:18
when I opened the door that's when my
00:44:21
heart come up in my throat that's when I
00:44:24
knew something from it hidden me that
00:44:29
yes she would never leave the door
00:44:31
unlocked she always had the door locked
00:44:33
even during the day
00:44:35
[Music]
00:44:47
are you here not only was there no sign
00:44:52
of Ethel there was no sign of burglary
00:44:54
or foul play everything in the house was
00:44:57
eerily in place as if Ethel had been
00:45:00
there one moment and then simply
00:45:02
vanished the next
00:45:08
with no other leads authorities
00:45:10
mobilised a large task force law
00:45:13
enforcement officers spanned off from
00:45:15
Ethel's home an acre by acre
00:45:17
painstakingly search the woods and
00:45:19
fields there was still no sign of Ethel
00:45:22
kid eight days later less than three
00:45:30
miles Methos home a local hunter came
00:45:32
across a shocking sight in the same area
00:45:35
which had been thoroughly searched the
00:45:36
previous week
00:45:37
[Music]
00:45:53
it was a body of Ethel kid bound to a
00:45:55
tree an upright position facing a
00:45:57
logging road less than fifty feet away
00:46:06
investigators that trimmer that Ethel
00:46:08
had been strangled they also found
00:46:10
evidence of sexual assault an estimated
00:46:13
that she had been dead for around seven
00:46:15
days this area had been searched by land
00:46:21
and air
00:46:22
she was definitely not at that location
00:46:24
earlier in the week to kill her is
00:46:29
extremely brazen to bring a body back to
00:46:33
the area where it was kidnapped from and
00:46:35
place it in a position so as it would be
00:46:40
found
00:46:41
facing a road just off of a state road
00:46:45
and just off of a logging road it's even
00:46:49
as if he may have been taunting the
00:46:51
police saying catch me if you can it
00:46:57
seemed obvious that Ethel kid had been
00:46:59
kept in storage after she was killed
00:47:02
surprisingly there were no signs of
00:47:04
decomposition the medical examiner
00:47:08
stated that in his opinion from the
00:47:12
evidence that he found in his
00:47:13
examination that she had been kept in an
00:47:16
insect free climate-controlled condition
00:47:20
which could mean refrigeration either
00:47:24
stationary or mobile the authorities
00:47:28
theorized that the body could have been
00:47:29
kept in a refrigerated truck an ice
00:47:32
house or a walk-in freezer other clues
00:47:37
soon emerged Ethel had been bound with a
00:47:40
type of drapery cord used in hotels and
00:47:42
hospitals but not available to the
00:47:44
general public
00:47:45
car upholstery fibers were recovered
00:47:48
from Ethel's clothes but the main focus
00:47:51
of the investigation centered on several
00:47:53
items tucked inside the road atlas found
00:47:56
in Ethel's front yard these two sheets
00:47:59
of paper from the National motel chain
00:48:01
contains sexually suggestive messages
00:48:05
investigators surmise that the notes had
00:48:07
been used as flashcards to solicit sex
00:48:09
along the interstate the most chilling
00:48:13
discovery was a handwritten list of
00:48:15
seven items also found in the Atlas
00:48:17
police suspected that it was a
00:48:20
meticulous blueprint for murder
00:48:22
[Music]
00:48:24
line two for instance listed clothing
00:48:28
and accessories which may have been used
00:48:29
for a disguise line three read ID ASAP
00:48:35
paper trip book the authorities were
00:48:39
aware of a book entitled the paper trip
00:48:41
which details how a person can obtain a
00:48:43
new identity item four simply read
00:48:48
choose location
00:48:51
[Music]
00:48:53
item five was perhaps the most baffling
00:48:56
of all it listed the abbreviations HC TP
00:49:00
and SG
00:49:05
the best that we can come up with would
00:49:08
be handcuffs tape and either surgical
00:49:11
gloves or stun gun this individual is a
00:49:18
methodical very particular cunning
00:49:21
individual he is a loner that he is a
00:49:26
white male probably between 35 and 45
00:49:29
years old and that he has not had
00:49:32
successful relationships with females we
00:49:37
have to assume that this individual does
00:49:41
traveling and stays in motels which
00:49:45
could be consistent with an interstate
00:49:48
trucker or a salesperson
00:49:54
Ethel kid was extremely security
00:49:57
conscious authorities theorized if the
00:49:59
assailant may have devised a clever
00:50:01
scheme which would not alarm her quite
00:50:04
possibly he used a road atlas to create
00:50:06
the impression that he was lost this was
00:50:22
a very cunning devious plan calculated
00:50:26
murder because of leaving clues bringing
00:50:32
the body back just just the way that he
00:50:35
did everything in this case and hasn't
00:50:37
been caught yes it's my opinion that he
00:50:40
will kill again
00:50:41
hopefully if he gets put away for doing
00:50:44
this that it won't be done to anybody
00:50:46
else
00:50:47
cuz nobody deserves to be done like this
00:50:51
know what it deserves to die like this
00:51:18
[Music]
00:51:25
join me next time perhaps you hold that
00:51:29
crucial clue which could help solve a
00:51:31
mystery
00:51:32
