00:02:15
Tom keator Rapid City South Dakota born
00:02:19
January 1965 died June 1994 survived by
00:02:26
his wife Nancy and two children cause of
00:02:29
death it all depends on who you ask
00:02:34
Tom's family believes he was murdered
00:02:36
the police say he committed suicide if
00:02:39
so it is certainly one of the most
00:02:41
unusual on record
00:02:44
Tom keator was a forklift driver at
00:02:46
Forest Products distributors a wood
00:02:49
processing plant on the outskirts of
00:02:51
Rapid City it was around 9:00 on a
00:02:54
peaceful summer morning just after the
00:02:56
shift change that the workers found
00:02:58
Tom's body his head crushed beneath the
00:03:01
rear wheel of his forklift the police
00:03:07
investigation pointed to a chilling
00:03:09
scenario the authorities believe that
00:03:11
Tom loaded at least a ton of lumber onto
00:03:13
the forklift set it for an incline jump
00:03:17
from the cab and position himself
00:03:18
perfectly in the machines path but why
00:03:22
would Tom keator kill himself some say
00:03:25
his suicide is connected to the
00:03:27
mysterious disappearance five days
00:03:29
earlier a woman named Tina Mark Hunt Tom
00:03:35
keator and Tina markets casual
00:03:37
acquaintances who once worked for the
00:03:39
same employer now forever LinkedIn
00:03:42
mystery during a bizarre five-day period
00:03:45
one turned up missing the other turned
00:03:47
up dead it all began
00:03:50
early Friday morning June 24th 1994
00:03:56
Tina marcotte worked the late shift at
00:03:58
Black Hills molding shortly after
00:04:01
midnight she fold her best friend Vicki
00:04:03
riddle I was already asleep in the phone
00:04:07
ring and she wasn't very upset how is
00:04:13
this it's Tina
00:04:15
look I just finished my shift and now my
00:04:17
tire is so flat that I can't even drive
00:04:18
on it well don't worry about it I'll
00:04:20
come give you a ride home just give me a
00:04:22
few minutes to get dressed and then I'll
00:04:25

00:04:27

00:04:29
somebody just pulled up let me go see
00:04:30
who this is okay you could have it be
00:04:32
careful so I waited and she went and
00:04:37
talked to whoever it was Tom's here and
00:04:42
he's gonna give me a ride home I'll talk
00:04:48
to you later it was the last time anyone
00:04:50
spoke to Tina market initially no one
00:04:55
even reported her missing
00:04:56
Patrick Gleason her live-in boyfriend of
00:04:59
11 years and the father of her three
00:05:01
children thought that Tina would soon
00:05:03
return on Saturday morning Patrick
00:05:07
accompanied by Tom keator showed up at
00:05:09
Vicky's riddles house Vicky says Tom
00:05:12
became defensive when she mentioned
00:05:14
Tina's last phone call I used to work
00:05:19
with her Tom tried to say I was drunk
00:05:22
and went no Tom from Ron and then I said
00:05:25
well she said Tom the one that used to
00:05:27
work here and then we started talking
00:05:29
about that and Tom finally admitted that
00:05:32
he was the only time that he ever knew
00:05:33
that worked there he was just glaring at
00:05:37
me and not acting himself
00:05:39
Patrick listened patiently then put the
00:05:43
obvious question to tom tom just be
00:05:46
straight with me
00:05:47
he messing around with my old lady oh
00:05:49
man you know me better than that right
00:05:52
there did he seem right to me because
00:05:54
the way tom was if you know tried to
00:05:57
blame him for something that he didn't
00:05:59
have anything to do with with it he
00:06:01
would have started fighting with me
00:06:03
that's the type of person he was
00:06:06
Patrick says tonnes suggested that they
00:06:09
go together to report Tina missing when
00:06:12
was the last time you saw her
00:06:13
Thursday she was on her way to work
00:06:16
Black Hills Moulton reason I'm still
00:06:19
contenders the car but when police went
00:06:21
to check on Tina's car they discovered
00:06:23
that the tire had most likely been
00:06:25
slashed with a knife
00:06:27
it suggested foul play perhaps murder
00:06:31
and what happened after you dropped your
00:06:35
friend off following the softball game
00:06:36
my car broke down on the way home the
00:06:39
carburetor had been giving me trouble
00:06:41
Tom cooter was asked to come in and he
00:06:43
voluntarily came in to give his story he
00:06:47
denied giving tena ride anywhere or even
00:06:49
being out there he stated that he had
00:06:51
been at a softball game he had given a
00:06:53
friend a ride home and his car had
00:06:56
broken down and he had spent
00:06:57
approximately three or four hours fixing
00:06:59
his car under a streetlight
00:07:01
[Music]
00:07:03
Tom never called his wife to say had
00:07:05
been delayed he finally arrived home at
00:07:08
around 3:30 in the morning why were you
00:07:11
the car broke down
00:07:14
Tom's wife Nancy told us that when Tom
00:07:16
got home that night that he immediately
00:07:18
washed his clothes which would have
00:07:20
included his softball uniform as well as
00:07:22
his shoelaces and that led us to believe
00:07:24
that that was a suspicious behavior show
00:07:28
me on a map exactly where it is user in
00:07:30
terms interrogation he pointed out
00:07:32
exactly where his car had broken down
00:07:33
police later canvassed the neighborhood
00:07:35
but could find no one to confirm Tom's
00:07:38
alibi things just weren't adding up and
00:07:42
this led us to believe more and more
00:07:44
that he was definitely involved in her
00:07:46
disappearance
00:07:49
three days after Tina disappeared the
00:07:52
police interviewed Tom at the lumberyard
00:07:55
the next morning Tom keator was dead
00:08:00
hurry up go call the foreman in my
00:08:03
opinion Tom cooter took his own life an
00:08:06
attempt to make it look like an accident
00:08:08
in order for his family to receive some
00:08:10
sort of benefits I believe that tom was
00:08:11
very overwhelmed as to what was taking
00:08:13
place and he needed a way out Tom's wife
00:08:17
Nancy disagrees Tom wouldn't do that he
00:08:21
wouldn't leave me and the kids he would
00:08:24
he would not do that
00:08:25
I won't ever plead that I reject the
00:08:32
idea that it was a suicidal death
00:08:34
because of the lack of suicidal behavior
00:08:36
or thinking or thought process or
00:08:39
emotions that went into to his life in
00:08:41
the four days prior to his death
00:08:45
Nancy is convinced that someone identity
00:08:48
and motive unknown attacked Tom in the
00:08:51
lumber yard and crushed him beneath the
00:08:53
wheels of his own forklift I believe he
00:08:58
was murdered I just wish the the police
00:09:02
would investigate this more I instead of
00:09:06
closing my husband's case because there
00:09:11
there are leads in this case and I don't
00:09:16
believe they followed up on him there
00:09:18
were no drag marks to indicate that
00:09:19
anybody had had drugged him
00:09:21
he weighed approximately 200 pounds
00:09:23
would have been difficult to carry him
00:09:24
and there was no signs of a struggle in
00:09:26
the area so in my opinion that I don't I
00:09:30
don't believe the the murder theory but
00:09:34
the police do believe that Tom keator
00:09:36
murdered Tina marcotte they speculated
00:09:39
on the night Tina disappeared Tom showed
00:09:41
up unexpectedly outside of her office I
00:09:44
believe that Tina's tire was
00:09:46
intentionally slashed in order to keep
00:09:49
her from leaving the place I don't
00:09:52
believe that
00:09:52
Tom's appearance out there at 12:30 was
00:09:56
coincidence I think it was planned it's
00:09:58
Tina look I just finished my shift and
00:10:01
now my tire is so flat I think tom was
00:10:03
out there waiting for her when she got
00:10:04
off of work the only thing that really
00:10:09
failed in the whole plan was that she
00:10:12
was on the phone when he drove up
00:10:16
according to the police theory Tom made
00:10:19
sexual advances toward Tina but he was
00:10:22
rejected the result was murdered they
00:10:29
have no evidence or anything to leak Tom
00:10:35
into Tina's disappearance they have
00:10:42
nothing
00:10:43
[Music]
00:10:52
[Music]
00:11:00
[Music]
00:11:14
coming up it is a classic case of love
00:11:17
betrayal and murder made famous in a
00:11:19
movie starring Elizabeth Taylor now some
00:11:22
say the victim is sensed by her
00:11:24
cinematic portrayal is holding the
00:11:26
guests in a New York resort but first a
00:11:30
hero of the 60s counterculture is
00:11:31
convicted of murder perhaps you could
00:11:34
help track him down
00:11:35
[Music]
00:11:50
[Applause]
00:11:55
all right we're gonna need somebody in
00:11:57
the back
00:11:58
okay Jones out back Sullivan oh yeah all
00:12:01
right second floor rear
00:12:08
Philadelphia Police Homicide Unit we
00:12:10
have a search warrant
00:12:11
better than a year of exhaustive
00:12:13
investigation are you I yeah
00:12:17
probable cause more than sufficient to
00:12:19
obtain a search warrant all that and
00:12:23
authorities were still unprepared for
00:12:25
what they would find in the apartment of
00:12:27
IRA Einhorn
00:12:30
[Applause]
00:12:35
IRA Einhorn was a counterculture hero
00:12:38
during the 1960's in Philadelphia he was
00:12:41
a symbol of opposition to the war in
00:12:43
Vietnam in 1970 he organized Earth Day a
00:12:47
pro ecology festival still celebrated
00:12:50
every year
00:12:51
Einhorn pound around with peace movement
00:12:54
superstars like Abbie Hoffman fortune
00:12:57
500 corporations also found Einhorn
00:12:59
irresistible lining up to hire in for
00:13:02
advice on trends of the future in 1971
00:13:06
IRA Einhorn even ran for mayor of
00:13:08
Philadelphia there was however a sight
00:13:14
of IRA Einhorn the crowds and news
00:13:15
cameras never saw in private he was
00:13:19
jealous abusive self-centered the eye of
00:13:22
an emotional hurricane and in 1979
00:13:25
Einhorn became the prime suspect in the
00:13:28
disappearance of his one-time girlfriend
00:13:30
Holly Maddux IRA Einhorn and Holly
00:13:35
Maddux their five-year romance was
00:13:38
marred by countless breakups
00:13:43
[Music]
00:13:54
in the beginning it had been different
00:13:56
iein horns charm and personality seduced
00:13:59
Holly Maddux just as it had everyone
00:14:02
else
00:14:04
Holley was a product of small-town Texas
00:14:07
a one time high school cheerleader she
00:14:11
wandered into iris heady world during
00:14:13
the fall of 1972 I've never seen you in
00:14:16
here before what's your name IRA when
00:14:21
Irene Holley met she was blown away
00:14:22
because the force of his personality was
00:14:25
considerable and on the other hand there
00:14:28
was Holly who was really not at a solid
00:14:31
station in her life and was susceptible
00:14:34
to a big come on to a big con and really
00:14:37
within a few days they were living with
00:14:38
together are you coming to the to the
00:14:41
rally in DC of course I am
00:14:44
whoa Wow we're gonna have a lot of
00:14:46
people there man we're gonna have a lot
00:14:47
of people you know what Jay are you
00:14:49
saying we should all get arrested me
00:14:51
should burn burn tricky dicky
00:14:54
inefficient IRA I don't think we should
00:14:58
try and get arrested why not 50,000
00:15:01
freaks get arrested what are they gonna
00:15:02
do you know throws in the Coliseum B
00:15:05
party man
00:15:07
Holly Maddux was a very creative person
00:15:10
it's kind of ironic in some respects
00:15:13
because in many many ways she was just
00:15:15
as smart and just as creative and just
00:15:17
as talented as IRA Einhorn yet because
00:15:21
he was so loud about everything that he
00:15:23
did she was kind of overshadowed by him
00:15:24
for the Maddox family IRA Einhorn was
00:15:27
was the Ultimate Nightmare
00:15:28
he was a long-haired not terribly clean
00:15:32
hippie type via the Maddux family was
00:15:34
extremely conservative when he did come
00:15:37
down and spend time in our home with us
00:15:41
he was rude he was overbearing to Holly
00:15:45
kind of ordered her around he did not
00:15:48
have a good personal hygiene let's say
00:15:50
it was it was not pleasant to be around
00:15:53
him I repressed me as the man who
00:15:55
thought a lot of himself and I really
00:15:58
didn't understand how he could feel that
00:16:01
way about himself because I didn't find
00:16:03
him that particular attractive
00:16:04
Andrea Boyce worked with Holly in a
00:16:07
neighborhood co-op I remember a morning
00:16:10
we were trying to get this store stopped
00:16:15
and while we were taking our break but
00:16:17
she turned her head in such a way that I
00:16:19
noticed a mark on her neck what's up
00:16:22
with those bruises oh nothing I just
00:16:27
now those look like hand marks to me hi
00:16:30
someone hurting you
00:16:34
I rented this
00:16:38
as in relationship regressed Holly did
00:16:41
gather more self-esteem she found she
00:16:43
could do things for herself
00:16:45
also IRA was abusive to her and you know
00:16:49
Holly you know did not like that and did
00:16:51
not want that to continue so very slowly
00:16:54
she began weaning herself from IRA by
00:16:59
July of 1977 Holly medics had had enough
00:17:03
she walked out on IRA without even
00:17:05
bothering to pack her belongings she
00:17:08
wound up at a beach resort near New York
00:17:10
City or she began a romance with saw
00:17:12
Lapidus the passage of nearly 20 years
00:17:15
has not dimmed his memories of Holly
00:17:17
Maddux she was just wonderful curious
00:17:20
very bright knew what was going on for
00:17:24
those many weeks we were kind of
00:17:25
inseparable it was the start a passively
00:17:30
something big it had obstacles but it
00:17:32
was a wonderful relationship so on
00:17:35
September 9th of 1977
00:17:38
Einhorn called them called her and he
00:17:41
was going nuts and he said in her words
00:17:44
he was off the wall he threatened to
00:17:46
throw all her clothing and all her
00:17:48
belongings out into the street unless
00:17:49
she came down to Philadelphia
00:17:51
immediately to come see him he could not
00:17:54
handle the fact that she was going with
00:17:56
this other man I didn't have a bad
00:17:59
feeling that Holly was going to
00:18:01
Philadelphia I had a bad very bad
00:18:03
feeling when she didn't return it was
00:18:05
totally unlike Holly to say something
00:18:08
and not have it come true
00:18:11
after Sala pedis and some of holly's
00:18:14
other friends reported her absence to
00:18:16
authorities Philadelphia detectives
00:18:18
interviewed IRA Einhorn his explanation
00:18:22
was that he had gone into the shower
00:18:25
that she told him she was going to the
00:18:27
store and that he never saw her again
00:18:31
she just walked off into the sunset
00:18:33
after saying that she was going to the
00:18:36
store
00:18:36
Holly's disappearance did not make any
00:18:40
sense to my my parents because she was
00:18:43
too close to her family she would not
00:18:45
turn her back and just disappear they
00:18:49
just don't really did not buy it the
00:18:52
Maddox family hired two former FBI
00:18:54
agents to investigate their ambitious
00:18:58
report filled hundreds of pages
00:18:59
contained dozens of interviews and
00:19:02
detail the events surrounding Holly's
00:19:04
disappearance the investigators located
00:19:09
at company who had gone to the movies of
00:19:10
ayran Holly during the weekend Holly
00:19:13
went to pick up her belongings it was
00:19:15
the last time she was known to be alive
00:19:19
a few days later
00:19:21
Einhorn tried to convince friends to
00:19:23
help him dump a large heavy trunk into a
00:19:25
nearby river
00:19:26
Einhorn said the trunk was filled with
00:19:29
secret Russian documents okay you don't
00:19:32
want to help you don't have to help in
00:19:35
the fall some tankers find his
00:19:37
attendance in the apartment below
00:19:39
Einhorn's told one of the investigators
00:19:41
about a choking stench seeping into
00:19:43
their apartment rising this prank you
00:19:45
talked to the landlord about it yeah he
00:19:47
didn't do anything about it you know

the report the broad authorities to
00:20:01
Einhorn's apartment by then Holly Maddux
00:20:04
had been missing for 18 months
00:20:10
[Applause]
00:20:11
[Music]
00:20:14
once they opened the door I could smell
00:20:17
kind of a decaying smell and spending
00:20:22
years as a homicide detective
00:20:24
I knew that smell to be body smell and I
00:20:31
thought oh he may be here okay this
00:20:37
[Applause]
00:20:49
it looks like we found Holly
00:20:51
found what you found
00:20:53
there was a sickness sadness that the
00:20:58
automatics was found but then there was
00:21:01
kind of a feel-good that we were gonna
00:21:04
lock up by Ryan where for killing her
00:21:07
Einhorn soon came up with an explanation
00:21:10
[Music]
00:21:13
he claimed the FBI and CIA had framed
00:21:16
him by planting Collies body in his
00:21:18
closets a public hall and we would like
00:21:20
to walk to the courtroom if we may
00:21:22
without questioning Playboy's attorney
00:21:24
one time Philadelphia DA now u.s.
00:21:27
senator and presidential hopeful Arlen
00:21:29
Specter pulled off the impossible bail
00:21:32
for IRA I born I was offended back in
00:21:38
1979 when they allowed him out on bail
00:21:41
because in my entire career somebody
00:21:44
who's charged with murder never gets out
00:21:47
on bail and never got out on bail and
00:21:50
when I sat in that courtroom and I
00:21:52
watched the parade of prominent people
00:21:54
March before the bar of the court and
00:21:58
sing the praises of IRA Einhorn who was
00:22:01
a murderer who was a murderer but nobody
00:22:03
wanted to a minute I was offended I was
00:22:05
sick and I was totally disgusted with
00:22:08
the system when I saw that because I
00:22:10
said to the district attorney at that
00:22:11
point in time I said this guy will never
00:22:14
ever stand trial
00:22:17
in January of 1981 two days before the
00:22:21
start of his trial IRA Einhorn did
00:22:24
indeed flee the country
00:22:27
[Music]
00:22:32
a dozen years past
00:22:36
finally Philadelphia authorities made an
00:22:39
extraordinary choice to put Einhorn on
00:22:41
trial in absentia for the murder of
00:22:43
Holly Maddux it took the jury only two
00:22:47
hours to find IRA Einhorn guilty where
00:22:52
the Ryan horde ever learned of his
00:22:53
conviction remains a matter of
00:22:55
speculation since jumping bail he has
00:22:58
lived in Europe primarily Ireland and
00:23:00
Sweden if people were gonna look for
00:23:04
Einhorn now he would be around the
00:23:08
university somewhere and you would find
00:23:10
him in poetry groups or with artists
00:23:13
somewhere where he can expound and have
00:23:15
a ready-made audience to listen to him
00:23:18
kind of boast and brag in his
00:23:20
intellectual way I mean that's where I
00:23:22
would expect to find him the day they do
00:23:24
catch him I'm on a plane that same day I
00:23:28
want to see him in the orange coveralls
00:23:31
and the handcuffs and then I know it
00:23:34
will be finished and stopped for me and
00:23:38
I can I can go tell Holly
00:23:43

[Music]
00:24:29
this is Jim Kimball at the age of 18 at
00:24:33
15 he was diagnosed with a severe
00:24:35
psychological disorder at 20 for 6 years
00:24:40
after this home video was shot Jim
00:24:42
Kimball disappeared
00:24:43
[Music]
00:24:46
Jim had grown up at Oak Park Illinois
00:24:48
the sixth child and a large and loving
00:24:50
family well ever since Jim was young he
00:24:55
was always on the shy side and maybe
00:24:57
more sensitive than other people he was
00:25:01
easy to get along with you know he'd
00:25:02
never do anything to hurt anybody you
00:25:06
never expected any trouble when Jim was
00:25:10
around it was pretty special
00:25:14
but all of that changed on August 16th
00:25:17
1982
00:25:18
[Music]
00:25:22
Jim was just 13 when his father suddenly
00:25:24
died of a heart attack
00:25:26
friends we have gathered here to as a
00:25:28
family gathered to say goodbye
00:25:30
only Jim appeared unaffected by the
00:25:32
tragic loss seemed very quiet and didn't
00:25:39
really show a lot of emotion the rest of
00:25:41
us were all upset and absorbed in our
00:25:43
own grief and I notice he didn't seem to
00:25:47
really be crying or caring and you know
00:25:49
maybe he was holding a lot of his
00:25:50
emotions inside and he wasn't expressing
00:25:53
himself it was a first overt sign that
00:25:59
something was wrong terribly wrong
00:26:02
barely noticed in the midst of the
00:26:04
family's grief was the fact that a time
00:26:06
bomb was ticking away inside of Jim
00:26:08
Kimball a time bomb that would explode
00:26:11
almost three years to the day after his
00:26:13
father's death as teenagers
00:26:19
Jim and his brothers formed their own
00:26:21
Garage Band Jim played the drums
00:26:24
[Music]
00:26:26
Jim come on gotta have something steady
00:26:29

00:26:31

00:26:37

00:26:44
Jim are you okay he's acting strange and
00:26:47
I was afraid for him it came a point was
00:26:50
like a better brand to hospital or
00:26:52
something just we didn't know what he
00:26:54
was gonna do next you don't seem to be
00:27:00
too sure of anything no it's all a waste
00:27:05
of time it's not like he used to be jim
00:27:09
was diagnosed with schizoaffective
00:27:10
disorder a mental disturbance
00:27:13
characterized by unusual thoughts and
00:27:15
mark mood swings never come back was
00:27:18
this some friend of yours he's always
00:27:22
around until they took him away
00:27:25
who took him he was confused he
00:27:28
indicated that he had heard some voices
00:27:31
that he had both a sorrow her hand
00:27:34
certainly anger with his father's death
00:27:38
nobody listens to me like maybe they
00:27:43
never did
00:27:47
Jim required medication to control his
00:27:49
condition the next eight years are
00:27:52
marked by a series of hospitalizations
00:27:54
relapses and recoveries
00:27:56
nevertheless Jim managed to graduate
00:27:58
from high school and hold a few jobs
00:28:01
eventually he moved into a halfway house
00:28:03
approximately ten miles from home on
00:28:08
Easter weekend 1993 Jim showed up at his
00:28:11
mother's house sooner than expected I
00:28:15
was pretty surprised that he wouldn't go
00:28:19
through all that trouble to walk home
00:28:20
yeah all the family was together we had
00:28:25
a nice turkey dinner for Easter
00:28:28
everything seemed to be pretty good but
00:28:33
the next day the tranquil atmosphere was
00:28:35
shattered when Jim became frustrated
00:28:37
with a family's new stereo system now
00:28:47
it's having lunch and I heard from
00:28:50
downstairs a commotion
00:28:52
during the house
00:29:00
I like this house you guys keep changing
00:29:02
things well if you got a pound with the
00:29:04
stereo I meant to talk about it you know
00:29:06

00:29:08
tantrum when 85 years old well for kid I
00:29:12

00:29:13
yeah I said hey you know you're not
00:29:15
feeling well she go to the hospital but
00:29:18
he said that he wasn't gonna go to the
00:29:20
hospital take care of things and so so
00:29:24
we just we clean things up and then and
00:29:26
then he left and that airs last I saw
00:29:29
him
00:29:31
Jim had vanished
00:29:33
the Kimball's immediately launched a
00:29:35
frantic search of the neighborhood
00:29:39
didn't have any medication with them we
00:29:42
had no money no code it was rather cold
00:29:44
out you just almost seemed that he
00:29:47
wanted just took a walk and never came
00:29:49
back for 11 months the family worked
00:29:53
tirelessly making phone calls
00:29:55
searching homeless shelters and
00:29:56
distributing fliers all across the
00:29:58
country but nothing panned out until
00:30:02
March of 1994
00:30:07
just outside of South Bend Indiana 90
00:30:11
miles from a Kimball home in Oak Park

00:30:58
you were gonna hitchhike when I saw the
00:31:01
flyer I'd say three to four weeks later
00:31:03
the picture on the flyer matched the
00:31:07
description of the individual I had
00:31:09
spoke with it really worries me that
00:31:13
he's out there and might not be able to
00:31:16
take care of himself we really like to
00:31:22
have Jim back with us we want him to
00:31:25

00:31:46
tragic results perhaps this surveillance
00:31:49
footage can provide a clue to the
00:31:50
killer's identity
00:31:52
[Music]
00:32:04
surveillance cameras are effective life
00:32:07
as soon as you walk into a banker store
00:32:09
chances are you being watched the
00:32:12
security cameras deter crime probably
00:32:15
can they solve a crime
00:32:17

00:32:23
robbery in progress the entire holdup
00:32:27

suspects are arrested less than a week
00:32:36
testimony ^ security cameras tonight
00:32:42
authorities in Brimfield Ohio hope this
00:32:44
surveillance footage will help them
00:32:45
identify a vicious masked killer the
00:32:48
crime scene as a Duke and Duchess
00:32:50
convenience store a few days after
00:32:52
Thanksgiving 1994
00:32:58
police responding to a silent alarm
00:33:00
arrived just after 2:00 a.m. the land
00:33:13
emerging from the store proved to be a
00:33:15
customer an innocent bystander he had
00:33:18
arrived moments before police and found
00:33:20
the store unattended the officers
00:33:24
entered warily with guns drawn in a back
00:33:29
room police found the body of the store
00:33:31
clerk 23 year old Brian focus Brian
00:33:36
focus had been cottage bound the dreams
00:33:38
of becoming a writer the night of his
00:33:41
murder
00:33:42
Brian was not even scheduled to work he
00:33:44
had been a last-minute replacement for
00:33:46
another employee the murder of Brian
00:33:51
Ferguson raged the community finding his
00:33:55
killer depends on a surveillance tape
00:33:57
recorded during the crime
00:33:58
[Music]
00:34:00
in its raw form the tape is a confusing
00:34:03
horror of images thousands of still
00:34:06
frames are coated by cameras and
00:34:07
different parts of the store but when
00:34:10
the tape is slowed down the events of
00:34:12
the evening begin to unfold
00:34:16
that's Brian behind the counter at 1:58
00:34:21
a.m. it can be seen wiping the floor
00:34:24
[Applause]
00:34:26
four minutes later at 202 the masked
00:34:29
figure enters don't make any sudden
00:34:32
moves or I'll kill you all right I want
00:34:34
you to go into the back room right now
00:34:35
let's go all right move they went into
00:34:39
the back office Brian of course went in
00:34:41
with his hands raised and the gunman
00:34:44
behind him were they and they spent
00:34:46
approximately 60 to 61 seconds in that
00:34:50
back room out of camera range I want you
00:34:55
to open up the safe we don't have a safe
00:34:56
never seen never safe
00:34:58
the investigators can only guess what
00:35:01
happens in the back room we're gonna do
00:35:04
is we're gonna go out to the cash
00:35:05
register you can open it up real fast
00:35:08
you can empty it real fast you screw up
00:35:10
I'll kill you
00:35:16
2:03 the robber is crouched behind the
00:35:20
counter at gunpoint
00:35:22
Brian empties a cash register
00:35:26
in the back feel better let's go hurry
00:35:29
up hurry up
00:35:30
it is during this time that Brian
00:35:33
triggers a silent alarm
00:35:35
[Music]
00:35:43
2:04 the customer pulls up to the gas
00:35:46
pump automatically activating a beeper
00:35:49
inside the office police theorize it to
00:35:52
the gunman and may have sounded like an
00:35:54
alarm it was then that we believe that
00:36:07
brian may have been able to throw his
00:36:11
elbow back in defense of himself and
00:36:13
strike the gunman possibly about the
00:36:15
face because the gunman left blood here
00:36:17
and we know that it's different from
00:36:20
Brian's blood Brian ful Guth was killed
00:36:27
instantly by a single bullet just three
00:36:30
minutes after the robber entered the
00:36:31
store the customer that pulled up to get
00:36:38
gas was actually present at the time
00:36:42
that gun went off but he did not hear
00:36:46
anything he did not see anything
00:36:48
standing in the front of the store at
00:36:49
the gas pumps
00:36:52
police were on the scene within 200
00:36:55
seconds of Brian's alarm 200 seconds and
00:36:58
they were still too late
00:37:05
police believe the killer is a white
00:37:07
male age 18 to 35 nine in height he
00:37:11
robbed the Duke conductions convenience
00:37:13
store in Brimfield Ohio on November 28th
00:37:15
1994 the suspect may have exhibited
00:37:19
header facial injuries around that time
00:37:21
a result of his apparent struggle with
00:37:23
Bryant
00:37:25
in addition police observed what appears
00:37:28
to be a hump of robbers back it may be a
00:37:31
physical characteristic or perhaps a
00:37:33
concealed ponytail
00:37:35
[Music]
00:37:39
when we return the ghostly tale of a
00:37:43
beautiful young murder victim her case
00:37:45
was made famous by Hollywood and now
00:37:47
some say her spirit still haunts the
00:37:49
Adirondack Mountains in search of
00:37:51
justice
00:37:56
[Music]
00:38:09
for generations the Adirondack Mountains
00:38:11
in upstate New York have been a favorite
00:38:14
vacation spot for the famous and the
00:38:16
infamous a place of stunning beauty and
00:38:19
sometimes stunning scandal when darkness
00:38:22
falls at resorts like the old code Lodge
00:38:25
the plaintive cries of lewd summon
00:38:27
haunting memories a reminder that
00:38:31
anything can happen one summer night to
00:38:36
1988 several covert employees were
00:38:39
approaching the staff Lodge one Daboo
00:38:45
silhouette ahead unaware that inside
00:38:48
someone or something might be waiting I
00:38:52
walked into the staff Lodge straight up
00:38:54
the stairs with my hand out reaching for
00:38:57
the string which is how to turn on the
00:38:59
light
00:39:04
as I approached the top of the stairs
00:39:06
and just before I was ready to turn on
00:39:09
the light a feeling came over me that
00:39:11
somebody was right there more or less I
00:39:17
stopped in my tracks
00:39:18
and really just didn't move I didn't
00:39:21
have an overwhelming feeling of fright
00:39:23
but something definitely or someone or
00:39:27
he was there and I just kind of took my
00:39:30
breath away but the real show was
00:39:34
outside
00:39:35
Rhonda's friends were witnessing a
00:39:37
spine-tingling vision all three of them
00:39:42
had the same exact story it lingered for
00:39:47
just a few seconds and then moved away
00:39:52
all three of them soffit goes I didn't
00:39:55
see anything myself but I felt that
00:39:57
somebody was right there and it was just
00:40:00
a strange feeling
00:40:04
boo is hotting big Moose Lake books
00:40:08
around here believe it is the ghost of
00:40:10
the young and beautiful Grace Brown a
00:40:13
1906 our brutal murder shocked the
00:40:16
nation
00:40:17
[Music]
00:40:19
decades later Hollywood transform the
00:40:22
notorious K cinema hidden film a place
00:40:25
in the Sun
00:40:26
Shelley Winters played Grace's character
00:40:29
a poor factory girl seduced and murdered
00:40:32
by a faithless lover in Montgomery Clift
00:40:34
who was having a passionate affair with
00:40:36
a beautiful young Elizabeth Taylor
00:40:39
ironically Hollywood portrayed grace as
00:40:43
dowdy nagging and shrewish but in truth
00:40:46
Grace Brown was a naive lovely 19 who
00:40:49
taunted the Gillette skirt Factory in
00:40:51
Cortland New York it was there in 1905
00:40:56
that grace met the handsome and charming
00:40:58
Chester Gillette the factory owners
00:41:00
nephew
00:41:03
I think he was considered quite a catch
00:41:06
by the people in town because he was
00:41:08
popular and he was you know athletic and
00:41:11
he was handsome and a lot I'm sure a lot
00:41:13
of women in Courtland were interested in
00:41:15
him
00:41:15
great mr. Gillette is here to see you
00:41:20
thank you from the start it was a
00:41:23
scandalous romance Chester convinced
00:41:26
grace to see him unchaperoned defying
00:41:28
convention and risking her reputation
00:41:33
I think she saw him as the ideal person
00:41:36
you know that he was everything that she
00:41:39
wanted she was in love probably for the
00:41:44
first time in her life and she wanted to
00:41:46
see this through no matter what for
00:41:51
Chester it was a secret affair he never
00:41:54
took grace out in public
00:41:55
he never acknowledged their relationship
00:41:59
Chester was however frequently seen with
00:42:02
other young women especially those from
00:42:04
the town's wealthier families her
00:42:08
friends were warning her that he wasn't
00:42:11
what he seemed to be that he was
00:42:13
something different and I think that she
00:42:15
had no experience with that type of
00:42:16
person and and so she was she was seeing
00:42:19
what she wanted to see rather than what
00:42:21
her friends were telling her
00:42:25
grace could not resist Chester
00:42:28
eventually perhaps inevitably she
00:42:31
discovered she was pregnant
00:42:35
at the time unwed mothers were outcasts
00:42:38
it was not uncommon for girls to commit
00:42:40
suicide rather than face public shame
00:42:43
grace beg Chester to merrier
00:42:47
Chester stalled as long as he could
00:42:49
finally in July 1906 he took grace to
00:42:53
the Adirondacks watch your step here
00:42:57
miss grace assumed it was a wedding trip
00:42:59
this type of craft before having sir
00:43:02
every sours a kid at big Moose Lake they
00:43:04
rented a rowboat from a man named Robert
00:43:06
Morrison Morrison expected them to come
00:43:12
back around dinnertime and when they
00:43:14
didn't come back he thought that that
00:43:16
was somewhat suspicious the next morning
00:43:23
Morrison organized a search party
00:43:34
there look down there a short distance
00:43:38
from the capsized boat
00:43:40
they found Grace's body
00:43:42
[Music]
00:43:46
two days later they also found Chester
00:43:49
Gillette not at the bottom of the lake
00:43:52
but safe and sound at a nearby hotel at
00:43:56
first he denied even knowing grace brown
00:43:58
then Gillette claims she had drowned
00:44:00
herself and despair because he didn't
00:44:02
love her anymore
00:44:03
few believed him he was tried and
00:44:07
convicted of first-degree murder on
00:44:10
March 30th 1908 Chester Gillette died in
00:44:13
the electric chair had justice been
00:44:16
served apparently not enough to satisfy
00:44:19
the restless spirit of grace Braun we're
00:44:25
all spooked and we stayed in the same
00:44:28
room together just kind of protecting
00:44:31
ourselves and it was just a weird
00:44:33
feeling like something something very
00:44:37
unusual had happened I I felt like I had
00:44:42
a a glimpse of something very
00:44:47
extraordinary Linda Lee Mackin had her
00:44:50
own encounter with grace Braun a few
00:44:52
months after Rhonda boo salos Linda Lee
00:44:59
and her childhood friend Bridget McMahon
00:45:01
chose big Moose Lake as a site for one
00:45:03
of their periodic reunions but from the
00:45:06
start
00:45:07
linda lee was inexplicably nervous on
00:45:10
edge
00:45:11
I wasn't thinking ghosts I just felt
00:45:14
very uncomfortable and I thought that I
00:45:16
would by looking out a window or looking
00:45:19
in a mirror I would see something that I
00:45:21
did not want to say
00:45:24
on the second night Linda Lee tried to
00:45:28
ignore her feelings of unease even
00:45:30
during a stroll alone I'm walking down
00:45:34
toward the lake with my flashlight and
00:45:37
the light is getting dimmer and dimmer
00:45:40
by the time light I got to the edge of
00:45:43
the lake in the rocks
00:45:44
my flashlight wasn't working so I had to
00:45:48
turn around and go back and get bridgett
00:45:51
not only didn't I have light but no way
00:45:54
was I staying out in the dark without
00:45:56
companion bridgett did not take Linda
00:46:03
Lee's jitters seriously but agreed to be
00:46:05
a good sport and come along do you hear
00:46:09
that
00:46:15
beautiful such a nice break from the
00:46:19
city
00:46:30
[Music]
00:46:33
I never seen anything like this it was a
00:46:37
ribbon of smoke that just seemed to
00:46:39
hover near us and almost call to our
00:46:45
attention
00:46:48
[Applause]
00:47:08
[Applause]
00:47:09
I was awestruck
00:47:11
and not only was I certain that I was
00:47:15
looking at a ghost but I had a very
00:47:17
strong feeling of sadness she was very
00:47:22
sad had Linda Lee seen a ghost or had it
00:47:29
been her overwrought imagination the
00:47:34
next day while crossing the lobby of The
00:47:36
Cove would Lodge Linda Lee spotted
00:47:38
memorabilia about Chester Gillette and
00:47:40
grace brown when I saw the photograph of
00:47:45
Grace Brown it was if I'd been hit by a
00:47:48
brick I knew it was Grace Brown who I
00:47:51
had seen
00:47:55
the sodas story behind grace Browns
00:47:58
murder provided rich fodder not only for
00:48:00
a place in the Sun the Theodore
00:48:02
Dreiser's acclaimed novel and American
00:48:04
tragedy both versions however were very
00:48:07
sympathetic to Chester Gillette
00:48:08
dismissing grace is a woman of easy
00:48:11
virtue perhaps graces ghost is unhappy
00:48:14
with that portrayal perhaps that is why
00:48:16
she haunts the place she spent her last
00:48:18
tragic moments perhaps that is why she
00:48:21
cannot rest join me next time for
00:48:32
another dramatic edition unsolved
00:48:35
mysteries
