[Music]
00:02:26
ditch somebody help us
00:02:30
we was upside down in the ditch and Ruby
00:02:33

00:02:38
Ruby was crying she was saying oh my God

00:02:45

00:02:47
room where she slid out and then so I
00:02:50

00:03:08
help arrives Tracy is the only person
00:03:11
still in the car Arnold and Ruby have
00:03:13
completely
00:03:16
disappeared I know if that was me and I
00:03:19
had gotten out I wouldn't have left
00:03:20
without trying to get Ruby out why she
00:03:23
left I don't know why Arnold left I
00:03:26
don't know if they left together I don't
00:03:28
know I don't I don't know
00:03:30
why so why did Arnold and Ruby leave
00:03:33
their best friend trapped in an
00:03:35
overturned car in the bitter cold and
00:03:38
how could two people just vanish the
00:03:41
answers to those questions wouldn't come
00:03:44
until the spring
00:03:45
thaw by Daybreak the police were already
00:03:48
searching through the
00:03:50
area the ice under the car was frozen
00:03:53
solid but they were afraid that Arnold
00:03:55
and Ruby had wandered off and fallen
00:03:57
through the ice somewhere else
00:04:01
we walked around the ice par we had one
00:04:03
officer walk on the opposite side of the
00:04:05
railroad tracks thinking maybe they
00:04:06
wandered off toward the lake area which
00:04:08
was all still frozen I've been to a
00:04:10
number of accidents where there hasn't
00:04:12
been somebody around the driver hasn't
00:04:14
been there no passengers there and a lot
00:04:17
of times it's because they've been
00:04:18
partying that was initially my first
00:04:20
thought maybe Arnold was out drinking
00:04:22
and didn't want to get arrested so we
00:04:24
figured each show up in a few
00:04:28
days but friends and relatives couldn't
00:04:31
accept that theory I know he wouldn't
00:04:33
hide he would have came home to us or
00:04:35
called us and told us I'm over here
00:04:37
don't worry about me but we never heard
00:04:40
anything from
00:04:41
him Ruby is a real gentle person she's
00:04:45
always laughing she's jokes around she
00:04:47
never said any harsh words to us and if
00:04:50
she done anything wrong she always told
00:04:52
us that she did do something
00:04:56
wrong over the next 3 months Deputy
00:04:59
Young
00:05:00
investigated every possible lead but he
00:05:02
came up
00:05:05
empty until that spring in early March
00:05:08
someone driving by saw a body in the
00:05:10
ditch just 75 ft from the accident
00:05:15
[Music]
00:05:18
site it was Ruby
00:05:23
breier I was very shocked the morning
00:05:25
that I received the radio transmission
00:05:28
that they' found a body of course it
00:05:30
wasn't broadcasted any names across but
00:05:33
I knew immediately who they had found it
00:05:36
was either going to be Ruby Brier or
00:05:37
Arnold or Shambo her glasses were
00:05:40
missing both shoes were missing her
00:05:42
clothes were intact it appeared to be
00:05:44
the same clothes that she had on the
00:05:45
night of the accident but the body was
00:05:47
very decomposed it was hard to recognize
00:05:50
in fact we had to get down to look at a
00:05:53
tattoo to get a positive identification
00:05:56
of the body
00:05:57
[Music]
00:06:02
at that time our department decided that
00:06:04
we would start pumping the ditch out and
00:06:06
about noon the next day we found the
00:06:08
body of
00:06:10
Arnold about 15 ft away from where we
00:06:12
found Ruby submerged in the water
00:06:15
Arnold's body was very well kept his
00:06:18
skin color was fine he was not frozen to
00:06:20
the ground the clothes were not frozen
00:06:22
to the ground there is a question mark
00:06:24
As far as in our investigation if he was
00:06:26
wearing the same clothes that he was the
00:06:28
night of the accident
00:06:31
14 how could two bodies found in the
00:06:34
same location be in such different
00:06:36
states of decomposition and how could
00:06:38
they end up in an area that had already
00:06:41
been thoroughly searched the bodies were
00:06:44
immediately autopsy but there was no way
00:06:46
of determining the time of
00:06:49
death the coroner concluded that Arnold
00:06:52
and Ruby had both died of
00:06:55
exposure but Deputy youngstrom suspected
00:06:58
Foul Play
00:07:00
death by exposure is like they froze to
00:07:02
death and I cannot actually buy that
00:07:05
they may have froze to death but they
00:07:07
didn't freeze to death at that ditch
00:07:10
it's impossible that they could have
00:07:11
been there the entire 3 months I myself
00:07:13
personally walked that ditch several
00:07:15
times during that period I've gotten
00:07:17
written affidavits from people that's
00:07:19
also W walked at people that had nothing
00:07:21
to do with the case they couldn't have
00:07:22
been there they couldn't have been
00:07:25
missed other evidence supported the
00:07:27
theory that Arnold and Ruby had not died
00:07:30
in the
00:07:33
ditch you want to come over here I got
00:07:35
something here alongside the road we
00:07:38
found a tough of
00:07:41
hair this hair was later determined by
00:07:44
the forensic laboratory to belong to
00:07:46
Ruby Brewer that hair couldn't have
00:07:48
stayed there for 3 months in my opinion
00:07:51
it was when whoever brought the bodies
00:07:53
back to the ditch that's when that piece
00:07:56
of hair fell off a ruby
00:07:59
at the time we pulled Arnold's body from
00:08:01
the ditch I found a set of keys in his
00:08:04
pocket the keys were a car or vehicle
00:08:07
key and what appeared to be two house
00:08:09
keys I still have these keys in my
00:08:12
possession and to this day I have not
00:08:13
found the vehicle nor the house that
00:08:16
these keys fit hi Arnold what are you
00:08:18
doing nothing just driving around then a
00:08:21
witness came forward who said she had
00:08:23
seen Arnold on New Year's Eve almost 3
00:08:26
weeks after he was reported missing all
00:08:28
right okay then all right later later in
00:08:31
my mind it is a very credible s she
00:08:34
talked to Arnold knows Arnold personally
00:08:36
and was a doubt in her mind that it was
00:08:38
Arnold that she was talking
00:08:40
to do you think you were mistaken when
00:08:43
you seen Arnold on New Year's Eve no the
00:08:48
witness passed the polygraph exam the
00:08:51
two people she said were in the back of
00:08:52
Arnold's car failed their polygraphs
00:08:55
ahead stop
00:08:57
by they denied being there but they did
00:09:00
fail the polygraph we questioned those
00:09:03
two people thoroughly afterwards and
00:09:05
they held to their story that they were
00:09:06
not there that night they never seen
00:09:08
Arnold or Ruby during those 3 months and
00:09:11
said that they were at home that
00:09:17
evening how did the bodies of Arnold and
00:09:20
Ruby end up in the very same ditch where
00:09:23
they crashed their car 3 months earlier
00:09:27
they had to die someplace house somebody
00:09:29
had to come and put them back in there
00:09:31
again to make it look like that that's
00:09:33
where they died I believe that someone
00:09:36
done that you someone killed Arnold I
00:09:38
really do believe that but how I don't
00:09:41
know if you have any information about
00:09:44
the death of Arnold arshambo and Ruby

00:11:26
Chicago's most famous ghost
00:11:30
Resurrection Mary I think that of all
00:11:33
the ghost stories worth believing in
00:11:35
Resurrection Mary is the one with the
00:11:37
best
00:11:38
documentation the witnesses that I found
00:11:40
are remarkably level-headed and they're
00:11:43
primarily Blue Collar middle class types
00:11:45
who have steady jobs and who have no
00:11:48
other major claims to psychic Encounters
00:11:51
in their
00:11:52
life as The Story Goes the first person
00:11:56
to ever encounter Resurrection Mary was
00:11:58
Jerry pal
00:12:03
the year was
00:12:04
1939 the place one of Chicago's dance
00:12:07
halls where Jerry was a
00:12:09
[Music]
00:12:11
regular hey you know that girl over
00:12:14
there I'm going to ask her to dance
00:12:17
Jerry described the woman as being
00:12:18
blonde about 5' 7 her hair was about
00:12:21
shoulder length and she had curls along
00:12:23
either side of her head she was wearing
00:12:25
a very fancy type party dress of the
00:12:27
period oldfashioned to today's term
00:12:30
it's Mary isn't it m that's a pretty
00:12:33
name Jerry danced with the young woman
00:12:36
all night he learned little about her
00:12:39
except that her name was Mary and that
00:12:41
she lived on the south side of town do
00:12:43
you live near here your hands they like
00:12:48
ice he offered to give her a ride
00:12:51
home as we walked along the street she
00:12:54
says well you might as well take me down
00:12:57
to Archer Road and I said what Forest
00:13:00
said you live here in here where you
00:13:02
told me and she says no she said I want
00:13:05
to go out to Archer
00:13:08
room what' you want to come out here
00:13:11
for stop what stop the
00:13:15
car that's not exactly what Jerry
00:13:18
expected I need to get out here
00:13:21
please they were stopped in front of
00:13:23
Resurrection Cemetery
00:13:29
please just wait right
00:13:34
[Music]
00:13:38
here Jerry claimed that the young woman
00:13:41
vanished before his
00:13:45
eyes the very next day he went out to
00:13:48
Damon Avenue where Mary said she
00:13:51
lived yes can I help you excuse me I
00:13:54
don't mean to disturb you but I'm
00:13:55
looking for a young woman named Mary I
00:13:58
was told she lived here you must be
00:14:00
mistaken there's no one here by that
00:14:02
name wait that's the woman I'm looking
00:14:04
for in that picture no that's not
00:14:08
possible that girl is my daughter and
00:14:11
she has been dead for 5
00:14:13
years it's then jury said that he
00:14:15
understood why the woman he was dancing
00:14:17
with that night was ice cold to the
00:14:19
touch he had worked in a funeral home
00:14:21
for a while and it was the touch of a
00:14:23
corpse Mary Bovi had been killed in a
00:14:26
traffic accident one Saturday night in
00:14:30
1934 a month before her 21st
00:14:33
birthday she was laid to rest in
00:14:36
Resurrection Cemetery in her favorite
00:14:39
gown a white
00:14:44
gown over the years Mary has been seen
00:14:47
time and time again at dance halls in
00:14:51
taxis and walking outside the cemetery
00:14:55
looking for someone to take her
00:14:58
home I really didn't think there was any
00:15:01
ghost you hear these stories and these
00:15:04
old ghost Tales but um it's never
00:15:07
happened to me but now I um must say I
00:15:10
think I'm changing my
00:15:13
mind Clare R Nikki her husband Mark and
00:15:16
two friends were driving on Archer
00:15:18
Avenue along the front of Resurrection
00:15:21
Cemetery should go back to I was just
00:15:23
looking out the window as we were going
00:15:25
down the streets and on the right hand
00:15:27
side of the road there was girl walking
00:15:30
look ahead look it's it's a girl she was
00:15:33
bright very bright like
00:15:36
Illuminating she was just walking very
00:15:38
slow I remember thinking oh my God it's
00:15:42
Resurrection Mary and I can feel my
00:15:44
stomach starting to turn let's go back
00:15:47
no I was very frightened I have to admit
00:15:50
it did scare me no I don't want to go
00:15:52
back I want to go let's go back we all
00:15:54
went past it turned around and came back
00:15:57
and by the time we had gotten back to
00:15:58
where we had origin seen her it had gone
00:16:04
vanished so what time are you leaving
00:16:07
tomorrow around 7ish on another night
00:16:10
Janet kalal and a friend were out for an
00:16:12
evening drive after about an hour they
00:16:15
found themselves at Resurrection
00:16:19
[Music]
00:16:20
Cemetery she was all in white and uh her
00:16:24
hair and the dress were were flowing
00:16:27
back oh no I'm get
00:16:34
there was no impact there was no bump to
00:16:37
say that you know I had hit something
00:16:40
but I know she ran out um the young
00:16:43
woman ran out in front of my car
00:16:45
and just calm down everything's going to
00:16:48
be okay nothing no impact no sound
00:16:52
[Music]
00:16:53
nothing my dad had told me the story
00:16:55
about Resurrection Mary before because
00:16:57
he had read it in the newspaper back in
00:16:59
1939 but I never thought that I would be
00:17:02
party to it that I would see it myself
00:17:05
or that I would be with a friend who
00:17:07
would have seen
00:17:09
her you can pick apart individual ghost
00:17:12
stories but when you come up with a
00:17:14
story like Resurrection Mary where we
00:17:16
have dozens of reports spanning decades
00:17:19
I think you've got to go a long way to
00:17:21
try to undermine all that massive
00:17:24
documentation I like to drive past the
00:17:26
cemetery to see if I can see her again
00:17:30
I never want to see her
00:17:33
again I didn't believe in ghost until I
00:17:35
saw her and the way I know it was really
00:17:37
a ghost is you just
00:17:40
know does the ghost of Mary Bovi really
00:17:43
haunt Chicago or is Resurrection Mary
00:17:46
just an urban myth either way if you
00:17:50
find yourself driving in the city late
00:17:51
one night and you see a pale young woman
00:17:54
in a flowing gown you might want to
00:17:56
think twice about offering her a
00:18:02
ride next what caused the crash of pwa
00:18:05
Flight 800 some think it was brought
00:18:08
down by a missile fired by our own
00:18:16
[Music]
00:18:25
military July 17th 199 6 tww flight 800
00:18:31
crashes into the Atlantic off the coast
00:18:34
of Long Island killing 230 passengers
00:18:38
and
00:18:38
crew I have found some people who have
00:18:41
other information that I think four
00:18:43
months later Pierre Salinger former
00:18:45
press secretary to President John
00:18:47
Kennedy makes a stunning
00:18:49
allegation he claims flight 800 was shot
00:18:52
on by a missile and that the Navy is
00:18:55
trying to hide the truth
00:18:58
and despite Navy statements that they
00:19:00
had nothing to do with the tw800 crash
00:19:03
we have strong evidence that they are
00:19:06
wrong it's a rumor that just can't be
00:19:09
ignored is it possible that flight 800
00:19:12
was shot down by the US Military and
00:19:16
could there be a highlevel conspiracy in
00:19:18
coverup and if so how could the hundreds
00:19:21
of people involved keep such a terrible
00:19:24
secret after the tragedy tons of debris
00:19:27
was scooped off the ocean field floor
00:19:29
and flight 800 was rebuilt piece by
00:19:34
piece officials narrow down the cause of
00:19:36
the crash to three possibilities a bomb
00:19:40
mechanical malfunction or a shoulder
00:19:42
launched terrorist
00:19:45
missile the missile theory was supported
00:19:47
by more than 30 credible eyewitnesses
00:19:50
they claimed they saw a streak of light
00:19:52
in the sky just before the
00:19:54
explosion however missile expert Bud Su
00:19:58
says those accounts could also support a
00:20:00
bomb
00:20:01
scenario a terrorist bomb if properly
00:20:05
designed would indeed give you a very
00:20:07
bright luminous streak out from the
00:20:09
aircraft so that it'd be very possible
00:20:12
to have a design which could produce
00:20:15
what the eyewitnesses said they
00:20:17
saw but eyewitness testimony no matter
00:20:20
how credible cannot stand alone as far
00:20:24
as anyone knew there was no physical
00:20:26
evidence of a missile hit much less one
00:20:28
fired by the US Navy unless you believe
00:20:31
Pierre Salinger they are
00:20:33
wrong before printing in March of 1997
00:20:37
Salinger produced several still frames
00:20:39
of radar
00:20:41
sweeps he claimed they were recorded in
00:20:43
the tower of New York's Kennedy Airport
00:20:45
on the night of the
00:20:47
tragedy according to Paris match
00:20:49

believes it is a Navy surface theair

00:21:20
recorded a second before the crash the
00:21:22
unidentified object has
00:21:25
disappeared the P3 Orion flight
00:21:29
800 and us a 217 are all in close
00:21:34
proximity but are flying at different
00:21:38
altitudes in later frames tww 800 has
00:21:42
vanished from the
00:21:52
scope the government says nothing
00:21:54
conclusive has been found to indicate a
00:21:56
missile hit wa Pierre Cher disagrees
00:22:00
moreover we have discovered that certain
00:22:02
bodies on the plane were crushed by
00:22:05
something which went through the
00:22:07
plane the
00:22:09
[Music]
00:22:11
missile there is some circumstantial
00:22:14
evidence that supports the conspiracy
00:22:16
theory the Navy has admitted that
00:22:18
military exercises were being conducted
00:22:20
off the Long Island Coast the night of
00:22:23
the crash in fact tww 800 veered from
00:22:27
its original flight path PA to avoid a
00:22:29
restricted
00:22:33
area the Navy would almost certainly try
00:22:36
to conduct exercises where they're not
00:22:37
going to get in the way of shipping and
00:22:40
they don't really fire many missiles
00:22:41
because the darn things cost a million
00:22:43
dollars each so they really don't do
00:22:45
exercises they assume that if they get a
00:22:47
radar lock on with the ship they will
00:22:49
get a hit and they just can't afford to
00:22:51
shoot that many
00:22:52
missiles but suppose the Navy did fire a
00:22:55
live missile that night where could it
00:22:58
have come
00:23:00
from According to the Navy the USS
00:23:03
Normandy was the only ship in the area
00:23:05
with standard missile capability the
00:23:08
Normandy was reportedly On Maneuvers in
00:23:10
the Atlantic 180 Mi south of the crash
00:23:15
site the main problem is that the
00:23:18
maximum range of the standard missile is
00:23:20
80 M and the Normandy was alleged to be
00:23:23
180 Mi away from the incident so you
00:23:26
just it just doesn't make sense if a
00:23:29
missile ship had been within the 80 M
00:23:31
radius to shoot it the eyewitnesses
00:23:34
would have seen a tremendous flash of
00:23:37
light because the initial launch of a
00:23:39
standard missile essentially lights up
00:23:41
the night
00:23:42
sky but regardless of what they say we
00:23:46
have now reached the point where we are
00:23:47
totally sure that what we are saying is
00:23:51
true there is another question if the
00:23:55
Normandy was within range and
00:23:57
accidentally shot Down The Airliner is
00:23:59
it possible that the Navy could have
00:24:02
engineered a successful
00:24:05
coverup if it were a friendly fire
00:24:08
incident it would take approximately one
00:24:10
day for everybody in the country to know
00:24:12
it you had what several hundred people
00:24:14
on that ship how can you cover anything
00:24:16
up the sailors would write home to their
00:24:18
sweethearts or their parents and say my
00:24:20
God we did this you couldn't there's no
00:24:22
way you could cover it up CU Sailors
00:24:23
love to
00:24:25
talk but those in the conspiracy Camp
00:24:28
point out that the Navy has been less
00:24:30
than candid in the
00:24:32
past when the USS Vincent mistakenly
00:24:35
shot down an Iranian airliner in 1988
00:24:39
Navy officials initially tried to
00:24:41
justify the action with false
00:24:44
information they claimed the plane had
00:24:47
been emitting military codes they have
00:24:49
since said that was not
00:24:52
true could the same thing have happened
00:24:55
with flight 800 the Navy after this
00:24:57
incident did a thorough inventory I mean
00:25:00
they should with things that cost a
00:25:02
million dollars and they can account for
00:25:04
every missile in the Atlantic Fleet by
00:25:07
seral on August 23rd 2000 the NTSB
00:25:11
released their final report it stated
00:25:15
that the probable cause was a design
00:25:17
flaw in the center Wing fuel tank Pierre
00:25:20
Salinger died in 2004 but many
00:25:23
investigators military experts and
00:25:25
airline pilots contined to insist the
00:25:28
Boeing was shot down by a
00:25:30
missile but critics of the conspiracy
00:25:33
are quick to point out that a coverup
00:25:35
would have to include not just hundreds
00:25:38
of Navy personnel but also hundreds of
00:25:41
civilians involved with the
00:25:43
investigation the answers May lie
00:25:46
somewhere at the bottom of the

00:26:20
Wood's husband had left for
00:26:24

00:26:27
opened in my eyes I saw a man with blood
00:26:30
on the head in the eye and I thought oh

00:26:35
then when he said it again I knew it was
00:26:38

00:27:37
open that I give it to you I don't have
00:27:40
it sounds of ransacking came from
00:27:43
upstairs the second Intruder was tearing
00:27:46
through Becky's dresser looking for
00:27:49
jewelry the noise woke up 9-year-old
00:27:53
Matthew here we got one up I don't

00:28:13
up my my face on the I saw the man's
00:28:18

00:29:12
alive that afternoon police found
00:29:14
Becky's stolen vehicle at a nearby car
00:29:17
wash the empty safe turned up a week
00:29:22
later police began to review the case
00:29:25
The Intruders knew exactly where to
00:29:28
disconnect the wires for the home alarm
00:29:30
system and phones they knew just where
00:29:32
the safe was kept and where to look for
00:29:35
Becky's jewelry They Knew Too Much to be
00:29:38
total strangers this
00:29:41
way i' met back up again with Becky and
00:29:44
her husband Woody we asked them to sit
00:29:46
down and start thinking about people
00:29:47
they knew people that they've dealt with
00:29:50
and people that have worked for them and
00:29:51
put a list together for
00:29:53
us Becky's jewelry showed up at pawn
00:29:56
shops in Pittsburgh 100 miles away
00:29:59
police believed it had been sold by a
00:30:01
man named Larry Jer his picture was sent
00:30:05
to
00:30:10
Ohio Becky and her husband Woody asked
00:30:12
their daughter to take a look sure
00:30:15
listen there's a photograph I need you
00:30:16
to take a look at you wouldn't Happ to
00:30:17
recognize this guy would you yeah it's
00:30:19
Gary Noble it's not Larry Jer that's
00:30:21
what the name says but that's Gary Noble
00:30:23
his brother Ted Noble worked for my dad
00:30:25
a couple months ago when Gary and his
00:30:27
brother had found out that detectives
00:30:29
were closing in they took off we were
00:30:32
given information that they had made
00:30:34
statements that they had no tension of
00:30:36
being taken alive if confronted by law
00:30:38
enforcement the way we entered our
00:30:39
warrants is with Extreme Caution on the
00:30:41
two of
00:30:42
[Music]
00:30:44
them
00:30:46
update police discovered that Gary Noble
00:30:49
was working with a construction crew at
00:30:51
the football stadium being built in
00:30:53
Nashville for the Tennessee Titans they
00:30:56
sent an agent out there and as he was
00:30:58
pulling in Gary was pulling out he got
00:31:00
caught in traffic and by the time he
00:31:02
caught back up with the car there were
00:31:03
two people in the car uh they got into a
00:31:06
Chase uh eventually they ended up having
00:31:09
to Ram the car in order to get Gary and
00:31:11
Ted to stop and then they placed him
00:31:13
under arrest Gary Noble was taken into
00:31:16
custody and led to a patrol car where
00:31:18
his brother Ted was already being
00:31:22
held I was shocked that it all came
00:31:25
around like it did and I hope some day
00:31:28
they learn what fear is and I hope they
00:31:32
get what's coming to them Ted and Gary
00:31:34
Noble pleaded guilty to charges of theft
00:31:38
burglary robbery and tampering with
00:31:41
evidence they each received the sentence
00:31:43
of three to 15 years they serve their
00:31:46
time and have been
00:31:49
[Music]
00:31:50
released next a killer leaves behind his
00:31:54
checklist for murder and now he's Behind
00:31:56
Bars thank next to
00:32:02
[Music]
00:32:05
you in a previous program we told you
00:32:09
about the tragic murder of a 61-year-old
00:32:12
grandmother Ethel
00:32:15
[Music]
00:32:18
kid Ethel retired to Virginia and she
00:32:21
lived down the road from her daughter
00:32:23
and son-in-law Joanne and
00:32:25
Thomas Thomas would be the first to
00:32:28
notice that something was wrong the next
00:32:32
morning my wife called her mother about
00:32:34
7:30 and the answer machine answered and
00:32:37
she said that's funny mom must have left
00:32:39
early either she's on her way here to
00:32:41
have a cup of coffee but 9:30 I rode by
00:32:45
and I saw the car there it was a bad
00:32:48
sign if Ethel had left she would have
00:32:51
taken her
00:32:52
car curiously a road atlas lay open in
00:32:55
the front yard
00:32:58
then another bad sign
00:33:02
Ethel Ethel never left the door unlocked
00:33:05
Ethel are you here there was no trace of
00:33:08
Ethel kid
00:33:11
[Music]
00:33:15
anywhere then days later Ethel's body
00:33:18
was discovered in the woods nearby
00:33:30
come on let's go through here we had
00:33:31
searched over here yet just follow me
00:33:33
right on through
00:33:35
here she had been sexually assaulted
00:33:39
strangled and left tied to a tree the
00:33:43
Killer is extremely Brazen it's even as
00:33:47
if he may have been toning the police uh
00:33:50
saying Catch Me If You Can investigators
00:33:54
believe the road atlas found in Ethel's
00:33:56
driveway was their best
00:33:59
clue at a Virginia forensic lab
00:34:02
technicians were able to pull
00:34:03
fingerprints from several pieces of
00:34:06
paper that were found in the atlas one
00:34:09
of the papers was a checklist for
00:34:15
murder but without a suspect the prints
00:34:18
were
00:34:21
useless
00:34:23
update after our program aired a woman
00:34:26
called to report that she wck recognized
00:34:28
the handwriting on this checklist she
00:34:31
said it had been written by her brother
00:34:34
Edward Wayne
00:34:36
Beverly Beverly lived in Bur Hill
00:34:38
Virginia just a few miles from Ethel
00:34:42
kid shortly after the murder he suddenly
00:34:45
left
00:34:48
town Virginia authorities finally
00:34:50
located Edward Beverly in a Tennessee
00:34:53
prison where he was serving time for
00:34:56
armed robbery
00:34:58
we compared fingerprints and they
00:35:00
matched to Mr Bev's
00:35:02
prints okay and on the victim's body
00:35:05
there was evidence there indicating
00:35:07
sexual contact and we compared Mr Bev's
00:35:11
blood through DNA testing and that
00:35:13
matches up
00:35:17
also I'm convinced that we have the
00:35:20
right guy that did this crime I'm lost
00:35:22
can you show based on the evidence
00:35:23
that's available oh
00:35:25
yes Edward Beverly was identified just
00:35:28
months before his scheduled release from
00:35:30
prison he was extradited to Virginia to
00:35:33
stand trial Beverly was convicted on all
00:35:36
charges abduction sodomy and
00:35:39
first-degree murder he was sentenced to
00:35:41
life in prison and died Behind

00:36:00

00:36:09
who poured into Canada in the 1920s
00:36:12
hoping to strike it rich he settled in

the rough mining town of haleyberry
00:36:20

Oh spent his nights playing poker and
00:36:25
his days hoping to find that one strike
00:36:28
that would make his fortune gentlemen
00:36:30
the game is yours Dan didn't talk much
00:36:33
about himself not even to his partner
00:36:35
Bill cner thanks a lot Dan he was very
00:36:39
private I don't know if I ever listened
00:36:41
to him ever brag about himself never

gold but running a mining company didn't
00:37:50
interest Dan his real love was panning
00:37:53
for gold often he would disappear into
00:37:56
the Wilderness alone for months at a
00:37:59
time but there was another side to Dan
00:38:02
willins the rough Outdoorsman led a
00:38:05
double life as a refined gentleman every
00:38:08
fall he would Trek to The Elegant King
00:38:10
Edward Hotel in Toronto take over an
00:38:13
entire floor and throw parties for weeks
00:38:17
then he would disappear again into the
00:38:19
back country he had a a social life that
00:38:21
very few people knew anything about and
00:38:23
he loved life he there's not that the V
00:38:26
he loved life he liked social ility
00:38:27
there was no doubt about this Dan
00:38:30
willins kept up this double life for
00:38:33
years then in the Autumn of
00:38:35
1936 he vanished while on one of his
00:38:38
prospecting
00:38:39
[Applause]
00:38:42
trips when he
00:38:44
disappeared the story was that he taken
00:38:47
a trip into the bush and he was never
00:38:49
heard of again he was lost that he
00:38:51
perished now Dan was a good Bushman and
00:38:54
he wasn't a weak man he was a very
00:38:56
strong man and I I don't think for one
00:38:58
minute that he was lost I think he went
00:39:01
back to England and took his social
00:39:02
place in life in for five five is that
00:39:06
all however some believe that Dan may
00:39:09
have been killed after a poker
00:39:12
game and his body thrown down an
00:39:15
abandoned M shaft take a chance if you
00:39:17
got into a poker game it's just hard to
00:39:19
say what might have
00:39:21
happened money and losers don't work too
00:39:24
well together especially if the loser
00:39:26
money okay I'll see you five and I'll
00:39:28
raise FL he was a good poker
00:39:31
player Dan's background is as mysterious
00:39:34
as his disappearance only a handful of
00:39:37
Clues exist he appeared to be from
00:39:39
England and may have had a sister he was
00:39:42
a skilled Horseman and just this skill
00:39:45
at cards he never married and has no
00:39:48
known heirs today his unclaimed estate
00:39:51
is worth millions if a descendant can be
00:39:54
found
00:39:57
Terry house is a torano based
00:39:59
investigator who locates missing airs he
00:40:03
has learned that Dan may have been a
00:40:07
nickname we have reason to think that
00:40:09
his real name was Dalton Thomas Willams
00:40:12
and we feel that there are heirs either
00:40:14
in Britain or the us somewhere in the
00:40:17
world today if an air turned up and we
00:40:19
have every reason to think that there
00:40:21
airs are going to turn up uh the estate
00:40:23
could be worth in the vicinity of $3
00:40:26
million depending upon the interest
00:40:28
that's been paid over the
00:40:30
years
00:40:32
update within Days of our broadcast
00:40:35
Davey willins a New York businessman
00:40:37
contacted us claiming that he might be
00:40:40
one of The Heirs to the willins
00:40:42
fortune my grandfather we have
00:40:44
determined came from the UK to Ontario
00:40:47
in
00:40:48
1895 at that time he was 11 years of age
00:40:52
we believe he traveled with another
00:40:54
family member and we also have been told
00:40:57
that there was a cousin someplace up in
00:40:59
the outback of Ontario but there was
00:41:02
never any contact with that individual
00:41:04
Through The Years so when this Unsolved
00:41:06
Mysteries program aired and this Dan
00:41:09
willins a Bushman from Ontario was was
00:41:11
disclosed it certainly was an exciting
00:41:14
possible link for our family tree
00:41:17
searching Davey willins flew to Toronto
00:41:19
to meet Joe Perkins one of Dan's last
00:41:22
surviving friends he brought along
00:41:24
photographs of his grandfather Harold
00:41:26
willin and his great-grandfather John
00:41:28
willins to see if there was a family
00:41:32

spacing of the eyes forehead our
00:41:41
great-grandfather John grandfather

Harold and prospector Dan willins all

one of Dan Will's old Minds that
00:41:57
contains some of the prospector's
00:41:59
belongings he is hoping to find a DNA
00:42:02
sample which can be used to confirm that
00:42:05
he is the rightful Heir it will probably
00:42:08
be many many years before a final
00:42:11
