spared dena's attacker stole her two
00:02:28
guns and took her
00:02:32
car as shocking as it was Dina woodard's
00:02:35
murder was just the beginning of a
00:02:37
24-hour Thrill Kill crime spree that
00:02:40
covered three states and left four
00:02:42
people dead the killers were two teenage
00:02:47
boys using Dina Woodward's car The
00:02:49
Killers drove 75 Mi Southeast to the
00:02:53
small rural community of Farmersville
00:02:56
Texas when you have a situation start
00:02:59
developing like is where the first
00:03:00
victim is killed then it's Panic time
00:03:03
they run to get away and then it doesn't
00:03:06
get any better the more involved they
00:03:08
become the more killings take place in
00:03:11
Farmersville The Killers approached the
00:03:13
home of 85-year-old Cecil Morrison and
00:03:16
his 62-year-old son Cecil Leonard
00:03:19
Morrison howdy uh howdy uh could I use
00:03:22
your telephone what what for uh my car
00:03:25
broke down your car broke down in the
00:03:33
the teenagers savagely tortured and beat
00:03:36
the two men and then shot them both with
00:03:38
a 22 caliber
00:03:42
rifle it was not just a quick murder now
00:03:46
why they felt it necessary to beat the
00:03:49
old men and torture them like they did
00:03:51
we do not
00:03:52
know a neighbor saw two teenagers
00:03:54
getting into the Morrison's pickup truck
00:04:00
Dina woodard's car was also
00:04:02
gone 4 hours later in Saratoga Arkansas
00:04:07
the boys drove the stolen pickup truck
00:04:09
into a
00:04:10
lake and then tossed in Dena woodard's
00:04:16
guns later that night the young Killers
00:04:19
walked up to the trailer of their fourth
00:04:21
victim 29-year-old Kenneth
00:04:23
Olden he was with his girlfriend Brenda
00:04:27
Gibson may I help you uh yeah my truck
00:04:31
broke down do you think you could give
00:04:32
us a hand Kenny didn't think they was
00:04:35
dangerous he thought they was really
00:04:37
sincere else he would have never
00:04:40
attempted to help them and when they
00:04:42
went out through the kitchen door I
00:04:44
looked out the
00:04:45
window and that was the last I saw him
00:04:50
alive The Killers drove away with
00:04:52
Kenneth Holden in his
00:04:54
Mustang their destination Milwood Dam 5
00:04:58
miles away
00:05:01
the truck should be right over
00:05:03
there I think the cables are in the back
00:05:06
okay I'll go ahead and get
00:05:10
them hey
00:05:14
man ain't no truck around
00:05:22
here the teenagers made their getaway in
00:05:25
Kenneth olan's Mustang
00:05:30
9:00 a.m. the next day 230 Mi west of
00:05:33
where Kenneth Olden was killed a farmer
00:05:36
came across olden's abandoned
00:05:38
Mustang in less than 24 hours The
00:05:41
Killers had come full circle they
00:05:43
started in Gainesville Texas going
00:05:46
Southeast to Farmersville they then went
00:05:48
Northeast to Saratoga Arkansas and then
00:05:51
they finally turned West and went to
00:05:53
Brown Springs Oklahoma less than 5 miles
00:05:57
from where their Killing Spree started
00:05:59
the big question is why would they have
00:06:01
returned to within 5 miles of where they
00:06:03
committed the first murder we felt like
00:06:05
we were dealing with something here in
00:06:06
our own neighborhood investigators
00:06:09
lifted several fingerprints from olden's
00:06:11
car but weren't sure if they belonged to
00:06:13
the killers the police were also eager
00:06:17
to find Dina woodard's missing
00:06:18
Thunderbird we feel like that if we
00:06:20
could find that automobile or find
00:06:22
someone with knowledge of what an
00:06:24
automobile might be that might be the
00:06:27
clue that solves this case 4 months into
00:06:31
the investigation a new clue turned up
00:06:33
Cecil Morrison's grandson found an
00:06:35
earring that The Killers might have left
00:06:38
behind in his grandfather's pickup track
00:06:41
this earring picked a skull being
00:06:43
carried by a bat and that was another
00:06:46
key break in this case we later ran a
00:06:49
photograph of that earring in the
00:06:51
Gainesville local paper and a young man
00:06:55
came forward and identified that earring
00:06:58
as belonging to him
00:07:00
where did you get the earring a girl
00:07:02
gave it to me a couple years ago do you
00:07:04
still have the earring no sir I don't
00:07:07
what's happened to it I L it to a friend
00:07:09
of mine a couple months ago the boy Lee
00:07:11
Renfro told police he had given the
00:07:13
earring to another boy John calwell at
00:07:17
the time calwell lived less than 200
00:07:20
yard from Dina
00:07:23
Woodard but John's family had moved out
00:07:25
of the state a month before Dena was
00:07:28
murdered
00:07:30
they had given me a lot of earrings and
00:07:33
I would borrow or take some from them
00:07:35
every once in a while like whenever I
00:07:37
didn't have one but as far as that
00:07:40
earing in particular I have no idea just
00:07:42
can't remember on the morning of the
00:07:45
murder spree Witnesses had seen two
00:07:47
teenage boys who matched the description
00:07:49
of the killers walking away from the
00:07:51
cwell house this earring was once owned
00:07:55
by Lee Renfro he gave it to John calwell
00:07:58
perhaps take by one of the young Killers
00:08:01
it turned up in the pickup truck they
00:08:03
stole from Cecil Morrison authorities
00:08:06
believed that it could help them solve
00:08:07
the case this case has got to be solved
00:08:10
as long as it goes unsolved there's
00:08:14
still that concern that there's still
00:08:16
some Killers out there walking the
00:08:19
streets and who's to say when they might
00:08:21
decide to strike again and go on another
00:08:24
crime
00:08:25
spree
00:08:26
update we have good news on this case
00:08:29
two men from Gainesville Texas have been
00:08:32
identified as The Killers 19-year-old
00:08:34
William Glenn Henry was arrested after
00:08:37
investigators matched his fingerprints
00:08:39
with those found in Kenny olden's
00:08:41
abandoned car 9 days later Henry's
00:08:44
accomplished 20-year-old Davey Lin
00:08:46
Crockett was arrested after he confessed
00:08:49
to his involvement in the
00:08:51
murders later Crockett took
00:08:53
investigators to a small lake near Cecil
00:08:55
Morrison's home there they found Dina
00:08:58
woodard's car buried beneath several
00:09:01
feet of mud and silt William Glenn Henry
00:09:05
pleaded guilty to three counts of
00:09:07
first-degree murder and was sentenced to
00:09:09
three 99-year terms Davey Lin Crockett
00:09:14
was sentenced to four 99-year
00:09:19
terms coming up a man stumbles out of
00:09:22
the desert with no idea who he is
00:09:32
on the outskirts of Las Vegas Nevada a
00:09:35
young man was found wandering aimlessly
00:09:38
through the desert he was dressed in
00:09:40
three layers of clothing carried no
00:09:42
identification and had apparently been
00:09:45
in the desert for at least 3
00:09:48
days you okay you okay what happened
00:09:53
water okay he was rushed to a hospital
00:09:56
suffering from exposure and extreme
00:09:58
dehydration can you wiggle your toes for
00:10:00
me the patient was diagnosed with
00:10:02
psychogenic amnesia a condition caused
00:10:06
not by physical injury but by some kind
00:10:08
of traumatic experience can you squeeze
00:10:10
my hand
00:10:12
help while he recovered the hospital
00:10:15
staff named The Man Tyler authorities in
00:10:18
Las Vegas could find no missing person
00:10:20
who matched Tyler's description there
00:10:23
was no record of his fingerprints with
00:10:24
the FBI or the
00:10:27
CIA but doctors did find find two Clues
00:10:31
evidence of hairline fractures in the
00:10:33
knuckles of both
00:10:35
hands and what is believed to be an old
00:10:38
gunshot wound on his right thigh
00:10:42
otherwise it's as if Tyler never
00:10:46
existed during a conversation with a
00:10:49
fellow patient who was from San Diego
00:10:51
California Tyler got the Eerie feeling
00:10:54
that he had once lived there but the
00:10:56
memories lacked detail until he was
00:10:59
hypnotized I started remembering a lot
00:11:01
about the beaches and different things
00:11:03
around the beaches I also remembered a
00:11:05
lot about the military bases in San
00:11:07
Diego there's Coast Guard Airfield right
00:11:10
across from Lindberg field actually more
00:11:12
like a hanger I just really got a sense
00:11:14
of belonging like San Diego was the
00:11:16
place that I needed to be under hypnosis
00:11:19
Tyler also vividly recalled flying over
00:11:22
San Diego he was certain that he knew
00:11:25
how to Pilot an airplane Tyler felt that
00:11:29
behind the controls of a plane might
00:11:31
help trigger additional memories
00:11:34
accompanied by a flight instructor he
00:11:36
put his uncanny knowledge of flying to
00:11:38
the test okay let's try another turn all
00:11:41
right try to keep that nose level go and
00:11:43
watch your altimer just make sure it
00:11:44
stays right the same all the way through
00:11:47
finally complete control of the plane
00:11:49
was given to Tyler and he brought it in
00:11:52
for a landing there we go not bad the
00:11:56
instructor felt that although Rusty
00:11:58
Tyler had definitely flown
00:12:01
before and as time passed there were
00:12:04
more intriguing Clues although Tyler
00:12:07
could not remember his own name he could
00:12:09
dismantle and rebuild a race car
00:12:13
engine he also had detailed knowledge of
00:12:16
the bombing mechanism in the Navy's A6
00:12:19
attack plane but
00:12:22
why many of these Clues suggest that
00:12:25
Tyler has some kind of military
00:12:27
background but no record this man has
00:12:29
been found in the Navy or any other
00:12:32
branch of the service I'm really kind of
00:12:35
at a difficult point in my life right
00:12:36
now
00:12:37
where I can't move ahead with myself I
00:12:40
can't get on with my life I can't do
00:12:43
anything really I'm almost like an
00:12:44
illegal alien here I I have no
00:12:47
identification of any of any form now I
00:12:51
can't go to work because I I'm not
00:12:53
eligible for a social security number I
00:12:55
can't drive a car and I'm starting to
00:12:58
feel
00:13:00
more frustrated as the days go by
00:13:02
because I really feel this needs to come
00:13:03
to an end I do need to find out who I
00:13:07
am when this segment first aired one of
00:13:10
our camera Crews joined Tyler and some
00:13:12
of his friends in Las
00:13:15
Vegas
00:13:17
update within minutes of the broadcast a
00:13:20
man called us here at Unsolved Mysteries
00:13:22
and said that he was Tyler's father now
00:13:25
we quickly contacted Tyler and he began
00:13:27
to fill in the missing pieces of his
00:13:31
past yes sir sorry uh it took so long
00:13:33
but everything that that I was looking
00:13:35
to cross referenced and we have located
00:13:37

00:13:40

00:13:43

00:13:55

00:13:59
learned that his real name was Arthur
00:14:01
Paul Beal but he went by Paul he was 23
00:14:04
years old and before he got amnesia he
00:14:07
lived in Boise idah a few minutes later
00:14:10
a nervous Paul Beal called his mother a
00:14:12
person he could not even
00:14:16
remember hello may I speak with Mrs Beal
00:14:20

00:14:54
I'll talk to you real soon okay okay
00:14:57
honey bye

awkward Paul still had no recognition of

his own
00:15:16
mother I don't remember you you
00:15:19
will it'll it's strange being with Paul
00:15:23

00:15:25
me not knowing who I am I just I want to
00:15:29
push everything into his head make him
00:15:30
remember everything I want to
00:15:34
reinforce happy thoughts good
00:15:37
memories I just want him to know I love
00:15:39
him we all love
00:15:41
him even looking at Family Photos didn't
00:15:44
jog Paul's memory this is probably the
00:15:47
most horrifying nightmare that anybody
00:15:50
could go through losing an identity
00:15:51
losing every ounce and fiber of a
00:15:54
person's life and then 9 months later
00:15:59
have it given back to you or have it
00:16:01
presented to you but you still don't
00:16:04
don't have it and I give anything in the
00:16:08
world to remember right
00:16:12
now next allegations of murder and a
00:16:16
cover up inside one of America's largest
00:16:18
prisons for women
00:16:29
[Music]
00:16:32
Frontier prison in California is one of
00:16:34
the largest penitentiaries in America
00:16:36
for
00:16:38
women its maximum security Wing houses
00:16:41
some of the state's most dangerous
00:16:42
female
00:16:43
offenders but it is the alleged criminal
00:16:46
activities of some guards and
00:16:48
administrators that have drawn the most
00:16:51
attention it began with the mysterious
00:16:54
disappearance of Frontier guard JN Rich
00:16:58
some former Prison employees believe
00:17:00
that jessyn was silenced because of what
00:17:03
she knew about a prison drug ring run by
00:17:05
other guards jessyn Rich was a
00:17:08
35-year-old divorced mother of two while
00:17:11
working at frona she had maintained a
00:17:14
straight A average in criminology
00:17:16
courses at
00:17:17
night at the time of her disappearance
00:17:20
jesselyn had reportedly grown concerned
00:17:22
about drug dealing inside the prison
00:17:25
walls you want to dance oh jeline was
00:17:29
last seen at a country western bar she
00:17:32
and a friend Marilyn Alton were joined
00:17:35
by two male acquaintances and work and
00:17:38
school see that's your problem you got
00:17:40
to get out more and live life that's
00:17:41
what it's all about there and all of a
00:17:43
sudden she sits very still and looks
00:17:45
almost past me to the front door jine
00:17:49
and I look at her and her eyes Drew wide
00:17:52
and uh fearful
00:17:55
looking but I didn't look to the door I
00:17:58
just for for some reason just didn't
00:17:59
turn
00:18:00
around I'll be right back use the
00:18:03
ladies as she uh turns around the corner
00:18:06
to go down the hallway to the bathroom a
00:18:08
gentleman appears to me out of the side
00:18:11
of my eye going directly behind her and
00:18:15
that's the last I see her ever jeline
00:18:18
Rich literally vanished Without a
00:18:22
Trace her family and friends launched an
00:18:25
allout search to them it seemed out of
00:18:27
character for jessyn to abandon her
00:18:29
children and to scrap her career
00:18:32
aspirations her family believes that she
00:18:34
was kidnapped and possibly
00:18:38
murdered but police say they had no
00:18:41
evidence to support that
00:18:44
theory they made light of it called us
00:18:47
just distraught relatives suggested that
00:18:50
my sister had just ran off on a fling
00:18:52
with some person which is totally absurd
00:18:55
it just was unheard of Gary tore apart
00:18:58
his sister 's house searching for Clues
00:19:00
when he sifted through jessel's trash he
00:19:03
found evidence that her knowledge of
00:19:05
illegal activities at the prison put her
00:19:08
life in
00:19:09
danger and inside in the plastic bag
00:19:12
were there many many pieces of paper
00:19:15
torn up very very small I picked up a
00:19:17
few of these and I could tell that it
00:19:19
was my sister's writing or printing and
00:19:22
they were uh apparently notes or letters
00:19:24
to a friend of hers a coworker and I
00:19:27
figured that I would take them home and
00:19:29
sort them out
00:19:31
later the letter had been written to
00:19:33
another guard at Frontier scrolled on
00:19:35
the margin of the last page was jyn's
00:19:38
Haunting recital of an apparent threat
00:19:40
she had received from the coworker that
00:19:43
anyone interfering with drug activities
00:19:46
would be taken care of at the time this
00:19:49
letter was the only concrete evidence
00:19:52
indicating that JN had met with Foul
00:19:55
Play the case went cold
00:19:59
3 years later an inmate named Terry
00:20:01
Lucas told the guard that she had
00:20:03
information about JN Rich she said that
00:20:06
she was being threatened by other guards
00:20:08
to keep
00:20:09
quiet and she tells me that she's got
00:20:12
information she knows who was involved
00:20:15
in the disappearance of JN rich I can
00:20:17
give you all the evidence you
00:20:19
need the next morning Betty Thompson
00:20:22
went to se Terry in the prison infirmary
00:20:25
where she was recovering from a cancer
00:20:27
biopsy Terry
00:20:29
when I walked over to touch her I
00:20:30
noticed that Terry was
00:20:33
dead I went out of the cell and I went
00:20:36
down to the nurses station and I told
00:20:38
them what of what I had seen um the
00:20:40
coldness of the room that she was not
00:20:42
covered her breakfast tray had not been
00:20:44
touched and the nurses told me they
00:20:47
would take care of
00:20:48
it Betty said that Terry's body stayed
00:20:51
in the cell for a full 3 days before the
00:20:54
County coroner's office was called
00:20:57
[Music]
00:20:59
according to Thompson an official from
00:21:01
the coroner's office was mystified by
00:21:03
what he found Betty says there were
00:21:05
Blades of grass in Lucas's hair and
00:21:08
multiple bruises on her face ears neck
00:21:10
and lower arms her right arm appeared to
00:21:14
be
00:21:14
broken he is saying that he see sees
00:21:17
evidence that she was suffocated with
00:21:19
the pillow that had been under her arm
00:21:22
that appeared to be broken Betty
00:21:24
Thompson said that after the official
00:21:26
met prison administrators in Lucas cell
00:21:29
he had a sudden change of heart and he
00:21:32
told me that we were not going to call
00:21:34
it murder and we were not going to say
00:21:37
that she was laying there dead for 3
00:21:38
days we were going to in fact say that
00:21:41
she was actually laying there only 2
00:21:43
hours and that the cause of death was
00:21:46
actually um complications due to
00:21:49
diabetes Thompson says that one of her
00:21:52
superiors demanded that she change her
00:21:54
report on Terry Lucas's death according
00:21:57
to Thompson she was subjected to threats
00:21:59
and intimidations for 6 hours there was
00:22:03
one high administrator that even made
00:22:06
the comment that the same thing that
00:22:08
happened to jesselyn Rich could easily
00:22:10
happen to me at that point in time I
00:22:12
broke down and
00:22:15
cried I hadn't told anything what Terry
00:22:17
Lucas had said and for him to bring up
00:22:20
JN rich and her
00:22:23
disappearance it said why Terry Lucas
00:22:25
had died it had definitely had something
00:22:28
to do with
00:22:30
that Thompson says she finally gave in
00:22:33
and signed a false report that had been
00:22:35
typed for her but I added on the bottom
00:22:38
that I had signed the document under
00:22:40
duress and the document was untrue to my
00:22:44
knowledge that document was ripped up
00:22:47
another one was retyped saying the
00:22:50
similar things that were on the first
00:22:51
document and that my my signature was
00:22:55
forged Betty Thompson claims that lady
00:22:58
she received a threatening phone
00:23:03
call infirmary officer Thompson Thompson
00:23:06
if you don't learn to do things in the
00:23:08
proper manner you'll end up dead
00:23:10
alongside some muddy
00:23:12
ditch the following
00:23:15
day Thompson had a scary encounter have
00:23:18
you been receiving threatening phone
00:23:19
calls what are you talking
00:23:21
about like you might be found dead in a
00:23:24
ditch one night the her in the back of
00:23:26
my neck just stood straight up I was abs
00:23:28
absolutely petrified because I knew that
00:23:31
she knew what they were saying to me and
00:23:33
that she was part of whoever was
00:23:35
threatening
00:23:37
me Thompson says the menacing calls
00:23:39
continued for 7 months
00:23:42
[Music]
00:23:45
then Betty immediately called the police
00:23:48
who arrived at her home moments later as
00:23:51
I was upstairs filing a police report
00:23:53
about this the shooting a phone call
00:23:57
came in and I picked up up the phone it
00:23:59
was a male voice and he said next time
00:24:01
we won't miss eventually the Scandal was
00:24:04
the subject of several front page
00:24:06
articles that appeared in the yorge
00:24:08
County Register these articles supported
00:24:10
Insider accounts of drug dealing and
00:24:14
Corruption that year Betty Thompson and
00:24:16
five other guards testified before State
00:24:19
Senate hearings on the alleged defenses
00:24:21
at Frontier
00:24:24
prison officials at frona declined to be
00:24:27
interviewed for this story
00:24:29
however a spokesman for the California
00:24:31
Department of Corrections told us quote
00:24:35
I'm not saying the things people are
00:24:36
alleging didn't happen there's just no
00:24:39
evidence to support them
00:24:43
unquote next a remote Texas ranch where
00:24:47
the owners claim that some boisterous
00:24:49
demons are driving them out of their
00:24:52
minds
00:24:56
[Music]
00:25:00
previously we brought you the story of
00:25:02
Michael swango a medical doctor wanted
00:25:05
for murder as a medical student Michael
00:25:08
swangle used his Hospital internship to
00:25:11
secretly kill when mysterious deaths
00:25:13
happened on his watch Hospital officials
00:25:16
got
00:25:18
suspicious and when co-workers became
00:25:20
ill they thought swango was poisoning
00:25:23
them swango represents the ultimate
00:25:26
betrayal We Trust doctors we put our
00:25:28
lives and health in their hands and
00:25:31
swango help himself out as someone who
00:25:32
was willing to help but in fact he was
00:25:34
looking to hurt using various aliases
00:25:37
Michael swango spent years on the run
00:25:40
when police began to close in he fled to
00:25:42
Zimbabwe Africa soon after authorities
00:25:45
issued a warrant for swango's arrest for
00:25:48
the only thing they could fraud he had
00:25:51
lied on a federal job
00:25:54
application
00:25:56
update Michael SW o has been
00:26:00
captured he was running from Africa to
00:26:02
Saudi Arabia but had to stop in the US
00:26:05
to renew his Visa at O'Hara Airport in
00:26:08
Chicago a customs agent ran his name
00:26:11
through the computer found the warrant
00:26:13
and he was
00:26:14
arrested nothing compares to swango the
00:26:18
unbelievable strange motives that he had
00:26:20
and the length of time for which he did
00:26:22
it the number of times he got away with
00:26:24
it I mean nothing compares while serving
00:26:26
time on the fraud charge Federal
00:26:28
prosecutors worked up a murder case
00:26:30
against swango that could put him away
00:26:32
for life we had to prove that there was
00:26:35
a homicide normally that's not a problem
00:26:37
in a murder case you have a dead body
00:26:39
there's a bullet there's a stabbing
00:26:41
there's a strangling beating in this
00:26:43
case the people had been had passed on
00:26:45
and it had been assumed that they died
00:26:47
naturally in the end exuded bodies
00:26:51
toxicology tests an eyewitness and even
00:26:54
swango's own Diaries helped prosecutors
00:26:57
build an airtight case we can tell from
00:27:00
Michael swango's writings that he simply
00:27:04
liked to kill people for him the thrill
00:27:08
was doing the killing and getting away
00:27:10
with it and that's why it was difficult
00:27:11
to establish a pattern with him because
00:27:14
he was something of an opportunistic
00:27:16
killer he would kill whenever he had the
00:27:19
chance to kill Michael swango pled
00:27:22
guilty to four counts of murder but it's
00:27:25
impossible to know just how many people
00:27:27
he has actually killed swango was sent
00:27:31
to our nation's highest Security federal
00:27:33
prison in Colorado he is serving three
00:27:37
life terms without the possibility of
00:27:44
parole everybody loves a good ghost
00:27:47
story and the three Texas Cowboys you're
00:27:49
about to meet have a great one their
00:27:52
ghost won't be satisfied until it has
00:27:55
scared the life out of everyone
00:28:01
in Texas Hill Country three ranchers
00:28:03
took over a 3,000 acre spread with plans
00:28:06
to turn it into a hunting
00:28:09
Reserve little Furniture furn while
00:28:12
fixing up the place the partners lived
00:28:15
in the main building a four-bedroom
00:28:16
house built in the
00:28:19
1950s
00:28:23
paint from the very first night the men
00:28:26
discovered that they had some company
00:28:30
it sounded as if when it started it was
00:28:33
like off in a distance and each time it
00:28:35
would make a step you could hear the
00:28:37
individual steps that they would make in
00:28:39
my mind you know I I didn't want to
00:28:41
consider the fact it might be a ghost or
00:28:44
something of that
00:28:46
nature almost every night there was
00:28:48
something new crashing footsteps
00:28:50
thunderous blows on the walls or
00:28:52
ceilings the men say they never saw a
00:28:54
ghost but they claim they heard plenty
00:29:00
I immediately picked a pistol up and I
00:29:03
jumped to my feet it was so loud it
00:29:06
sounded just like wooden chair has been
00:29:08
kicked just Plum across the
00:29:10
[Music]
00:29:13
floor there wasn't a cheer moved all the
00:29:16
cheers were right in
00:29:18
place there was nothing turned over
00:29:23
anywhere this thing whatever it is it
00:29:26
was almost as if yeah it would not let
00:29:29
you rest it was almost as if they wanted
00:29:31
to keep you awake all night just about
00:29:33
the time you would doze
00:29:35
off
00:29:37
Johnny it said
00:29:39
Johnny and I looked around my room was
00:29:42
eyes
00:29:44
cold cold chills running down me and I
00:29:47
was just shivering under the sheets you
00:29:49
know looking around you know I'm
00:29:50
thinking to myself man another night
00:29:53
Bobby woke up sensing someone next to
00:29:56
him I don't know it probably 2 3:00 in
00:29:59
the
00:30:00
morning side of my bed just mashed Plum
00:30:03
down I mean really went down like
00:30:05
someone had stepped on the side of it
00:30:07
with her foot or sat on the side of it
00:30:10
which really scared me because he had
00:30:11
never done it
00:30:13
before Mike Richards had a similar
00:30:15
experience equally as
00:30:18
disturbing approximately 3 or 4:00 in
00:30:20
the morning my right knee it woke me up
00:30:23
I mean it was it was pain like I've
00:30:25
never felt before it was actually like
00:30:27
somebody sitting on my
00:30:29
knee I went to roll off the bed but my
00:30:32
right leg stayed in the same position it
00:30:35
was and I looked I couldn't see nobody
00:30:37
sitting on it cuz you know you can't
00:30:39
roll off off the bed you know cuz
00:30:40
somebody's got you pined down you know
00:30:43
so all I could do was you know hey I
00:30:46
raised my other leg up and started
00:30:48
waving it across my leg you know like
00:30:50
you know get off whatever it is you know
00:30:53
it stopped and I could get off of bed
00:30:55
you know and the minute I got up and
00:30:57
walked around it it felt
00:31:03
fine anything you let me know okay okay
00:31:07
finally some relatives of the men paid a
00:31:09
visit to check out the hauntings for
00:31:11
themselves you're
00:31:13
right I guess I don't know what I really
00:31:16
expected I guess I expected to just hear
00:31:19
a little bump and and that there'd be
00:31:21
some logical explanation for it but what
00:31:24
I heard that night no man or animal
00:31:26
could have made before we went to bed
00:31:29
Susie and I decided that if I heard
00:31:31
something I was to nudge her and if she
00:31:33
heard something she was going to nudge
00:31:34
me well we were nudging each other
00:31:36
pretty
00:31:39
quick Kelly yeah did you hear that
00:31:47
yeah it sounds like something on ceiling
00:31:51
walking oh
00:31:53
my
00:31:55
SS oh to the wall through the wall
00:31:59
through the this went on for hours we
00:32:01
heard whistling that was um started off
00:32:05
very faint grew to very very loud then
00:32:08
bam bam bam banging in the walls like
00:32:11
something caught up in the walls I mean
00:32:13
I thought the ceilings were going to
00:32:15
cave in it was so loud
00:32:18
go that night I didn't hear anything but
00:32:21
there was no doubt by the expression on
00:32:23
their face he had definitely been put
00:32:25
through something you know that night
00:32:27
and they just said it's time to go I
00:32:28
said well you want me to cook breakfast
00:32:30
no it's time to go let's go you
00:32:33
know we we was out here pretty quick to
00:32:37
find out what might be happening at the
00:32:39
ranch house we brought in noted
00:32:42
paraschiena
00:32:49
of radioactivity and changes in the
00:32:53
electromagnetic fields in the area first
00:32:56
of all we recorded a a number of Sonic
00:33:00
effects from bangs to Booms to a milder
00:33:05
sounds um the most striking of these uh
00:33:09
was associated with a sudden increase in
00:33:12
the magnetic field uh in the house Dr Ro
00:33:16
believes the noises came from a physical
00:33:18
phenomenon called the Peltier effect he
00:33:21
says this can occur when water seeps
00:33:23
between the underground slabs of
00:33:25
limestone the resulting re action not
00:33:28
only produces real noises but also
00:33:30
creates an electromagnetic field that
00:33:33
may affect human brains making people
00:33:35
imagine all kinds of things these
00:33:38
magnetic fields affect the human brain
00:33:41
because the human brain is a conductor
00:33:43
and this electric current produces
00:33:45
striking psychological
00:33:47
experiences that only happen in the
00:33:50
mind a trick of the mind not to those
00:33:54
who've heard it all I can say is come on
00:33:56
over and we'll fix you up uh it won't
00:34:00
take long we'll make a believer of
00:34:04
you next AJ bro was a popular family man
00:34:08
who no one ever thought would leave his
00:34:11
hometown but he did and was never seen
00:34:24
again H
00:34:26
Louisiana pop population
00:34:30
31,000 AJ bro had lived in hom his
00:34:33
entire life raised three daughters and
00:34:36
worked in the same clothing store for
00:34:38
more than 30 years my dad came off as
00:34:41
being very friendly he was extremely
00:34:44
nice anybody and everybody that knew him
00:34:47
knew that if they needed something that
00:34:49
he was there to help them 4 years AJ had
00:34:53
battled a drinking problem which led to
00:34:55
an arrest for drunk driving but a J
00:34:57
seemed to have conquered his demons and
00:34:59
had been sober for 8
00:35:02
years who like take care of the food
00:35:04
almost every evening he could be found
00:35:06
at the Easy Does It Club a support group
00:35:08
for people with drinking problems AJ
00:35:11
prided himself on being available at any
00:35:14
hour of the day or night to assist those
00:35:16
in need once he got involved with the
00:35:21
program it changed his whole life he
00:35:24
became even more responsible and more
00:35:27
dependent
00:35:28
and more trustworthy and more of a
00:35:31
friend because he was involved with more
00:35:33
people the close ties AJ had to his
00:35:36
community made it seem impossible that
00:35:38
he would just suddenly
00:35:42
disappear one night around 8:15 p.m. AJ
00:35:45
was seen leaving the Easy Desert
00:35:48
Club hello AJ how you doing fine a half
00:35:52
hour later he stopped at a convenience
00:35:54
store to buy a quart of milk he told the
00:35:56
cashier that he was on his way home
00:35:59
where he lived with one of his daughters
00:36:01
he never got there okay I'll see you
00:36:06
later 2 Days Later AJ's Car was found
00:36:09
abandoned in a park across the street
00:36:12
from the club I show this as your
00:36:13
father's car this is it I immediately
00:36:16
thought Foul Play because it just
00:36:18
wouldn't be like him to park his car
00:36:21
where everybody could find it and
00:36:22
everybody knows him and disappear but
00:36:25
there were no signs of Foul Play The
00:36:27
only Clues were AJ's wallet and
00:36:29
checkbook which were found tucked under
00:36:31
the front seat of his
00:36:35
car the entire town was mystified what
00:36:39
happened to AJ bro soon a number of
00:36:43
witnesses came forward they all claim to
00:36:45
have seen AJ after he
00:36:50
disappeared on the same day that AJ's
00:36:53
Car was found a local resident Kenneth
00:36:55
pelan says that he ran into AJ outside a
00:36:58
convenience store in hom hey AJ how's it
00:37:02
going okay it was a strange situation
00:37:05
for me to see him then cuz he just
00:37:07
didn't look the same as he always
00:37:10
did he was wearing like a flannel shirt
00:37:13
something like a lumberjack style and
00:37:15
the pants were loose fitting Brown very
00:37:17
loose fitting it wasn't nothing neat and
00:37:19
he was wearing some old tennis shoes so
00:37:21
that struck me as wrong because all the
00:37:24
times I've known him since 7 years old I
00:37:27
have never seen him with his hair out of
00:37:29
place or not dressed up neat AJ was
00:37:32
nervous it was like he was being watched
00:37:35
Kenneth pelan also saw a red compact car
00:37:39
parked in
00:37:40
front I noticed the car and they had
00:37:42
three guys still sitting in it but then
00:37:45
the engine was running and he was on the
00:37:47
phone looking towards their
00:37:49
way and when I came back out AJ was gone
00:37:52
the car was
00:37:55
gone had I known he had been missing
00:37:58
uh he would have been found then because
00:38:00
I knew who he
00:38:02
was soon after Ken pelan called the
00:38:05
office I received another call from a
00:38:07
witness who said that he saw AJ in a car
00:38:10
with three other gentlemen it was a red
00:38:12
uh small compact car on a rad route
00:38:15
about 8 miles out of
00:38:17
town um he waved to AJ
00:38:20
bro but AJ bro did not weigh back and
00:38:23
it's very uncharacteristic of AJ not to
00:38:25
weigh back he didn't think of anything
00:38:28
of it because he didn't know AJ was
00:38:30
missing it makes me think that
00:38:34
definitely somebody knows something if
00:38:36
both of these gentlemen who know him
00:38:38
from a good while back one a lot longer
00:38:40
than the other have seen him we know
00:38:43
that they know what he looks like and
00:38:45
they both saw him in the same color car
00:38:48
with three men in it I'm I'm pretty much
00:38:51
convinced that somebody somewhere knows
00:38:54
something then 2 weeks later a chilling
00:38:58
handwritten note came into the police
00:39:00
station it read AJ bro he was drunk at
00:39:03
the time self-inflicted gunshot W
00:39:06
stomach drawring cotton sack put in by
00:39:10
friend rolled over steep grassy byou
00:39:13
Bank near
00:39:15
Dan the note was signed
00:39:18
Helen just so happen where we found a
00:39:21
car that that described that area so we
00:39:24
called the Sheriff's Office water Patrol
00:39:26
units in and they dredged uh both sides
00:39:29
of the dam on three different occasions
00:39:31
but weren't able to find
00:39:33
anything four weeks after AJ disappeared
00:39:36
a woman named Christy Bud was sitting on
00:39:40
the front porch of her house in Lockport
00:39:42
Louisiana I saw a van pass up and down
00:39:45
the street two times so I forget whoever
00:39:47
was in the van was evidently lost then I
00:39:50
saw him reach over the driver's seat
00:39:53
into the middle of the van and he picked
00:39:55
up a bag I didn't what was in it till he
00:39:58
got to my porch and as he walked to me
00:40:01
he looked really nervous and he was
00:40:04
shaking uh you he wanted to know if I
00:40:08
wanted to buy some frozen fish and I
00:40:09
told him no and I smelled alcohol on his
00:40:12
breath and he looked homeless kind of
00:40:15
straggly okay thanks
00:40:18
anyway and as he got I'd say 10 ft from
00:40:21
me he turned around and glanced at me
00:40:26
and that's when it hit me that I saw
00:40:28
that man on a missing person fly in the
00:40:30
post office I have a picture here I like
00:40:33
you look of AJ bro this pict Christy
00:40:35
looked through photographs of AJ at the
00:40:38
police station I was almost certain that
00:40:41
that was the man that had approached me
00:40:43
while I was on my porch and that's what
00:40:45
I told the detective that I was 99.9%
00:40:48
sure that that was Mr bro AJ bro uh is a
00:40:53
recovering
00:40:54
alcoholic and if he did start drinking
00:40:57
the again and there's all sorts of
00:40:59
things that could have happened he could
00:41:00
have had a blackout uh and not remember
00:41:02
who he is AJ's Family refuses to believe
00:41:06
that he has turned to alcohol once again
00:41:09
or that he disappeared by choice because
00:41:12
AJ's wallet and checkbook were found in
00:41:14
his car they're convinced that he was
00:41:16
abducted when I think back to the fact
00:41:19
that his car was found at the park I'm
00:41:22
wondering if he may have seen something
00:41:26
or heard something that he wasn't
00:41:27
supposed to see or hear what really
00:41:30
happened to AJ
00:41:32
bro was he kidnapped was it a blackout
00:41:35
or was it something else police now
00:41:39
think the handwritten note about AJ
00:41:40
shooting himself was just a prank AJ bro
00:41:44
this time is still listed as a missing
00:41:46
person we have no evidence of Foul Play
00:41:49
uh but of course we have no evidence
00:41:51
that he just got up and left either so
00:41:53
we really don't know what happened to AJ
00:41:55
AJ bro is 5 ft 11 in tall and weighs
00:41:58
approximately 155 lb he has brown eyes
00:42:02
and brown hair if you have any
00:42:05

00:42:08
