00:00:24

00:00:28
treasure in the backyard more than 30
00:00:33
years ago a baby girl was left at the

00:00:54
death Dukes memory has been eclipsed by
00:00:56
a simmering controversy over control of
00:00:58
her estate an improbable tale of
00:01:01
intrigue deception that some say murder
00:01:05

March 4th 1993 cedars-sinai Medical

00:02:28
years since I was divorced 80 year-old
00:02:31
Doris Duke prepares to change the terms
00:02:33
of her will but hers is not just any
00:02:35
whim Doris Duke is one of the wealthiest
00:02:38
women in America worth more than 1.2
00:02:41
billion dollars waiting in the wings was
00:02:46
a person who arguably stood to gain the
00:02:49
most
00:02:49
Doris dukes Butler Bernard Lafferty
00:02:52
within a year Duke would be dead the
00:02:55
bulk of her fortune left to charity but
00:02:58
his sole individual executor of the
00:03:00
estate
00:03:01
Bernard Lafferty was given considerable
00:03:03
financial control in addition to an
00:03:06
executor fee estimated to be 5 million
00:03:08
dollars
00:03:09
Lafferty was designated to receive a
00:03:11
bequest of $500,000 a year for life I
00:03:16
cannot believe she would have put that
00:03:18
kind of trust into Bernard it's just not
00:03:21
it's not possible there had to be some
00:03:24
collusion
00:03:24
there was a manipulation between my
00:03:27
feeling between Bernard Lafferty the
00:03:29
doctors and the lawyers Bernard Lafferty
00:03:33
the doctors and the lawyers that's a
00:03:36
bizarre case of Doris Duke in a nutshell
00:03:39
says Dukes death six different lawsuits
00:03:42
have been filed challenging her will
00:03:44
every one you're about to meet has an
00:03:46
agenda
00:03:47
perhaps the truth may be found buried in
00:03:49
the Byzantine events of Doris Dukes
00:03:51
final days days which some believe may
00:03:54
have ended in murder
00:03:59
Doris Duke was the only child of tobacco
00:04:02
tycoon James Buchanan Duke Doris was
00:04:05
just 12 when her father died leaving her
00:04:08
100 million dollars a third of his home
00:04:10
the press dubbed her the richest girl in
00:04:13
the world
00:04:14
as Doris grew up the fortune also grew
00:04:17
from the millions to over a billion she
00:04:21
personified the rich during the Great
00:04:24
Depression she was a cross between
00:04:27
Princess Di and Madonna in the press
00:04:31
people to people treated her as if she
00:04:33
were a major major star Doris Duke led
00:04:39
an eccentric and lavish lifestyle she
00:04:42
married twice divorced twice and
00:04:44
reportedly had dozens of lovers among
00:04:47
the movie Idol Errol Flynn General
00:04:50
George S Patton an Olympic swimming
00:04:52
champion Duke Kahanamoku Kahanamoku
00:04:56
allegedly father Doris his only child a
00:04:58
daughter who died at birth a 1940 nearly
00:05:03
half a century later when she was well
00:05:05
past 70 miss Duke adopted but not a
00:05:07
child a 35 year old woman named Shandy
00:05:11
Hefner in 1987 Duke rewrote her will the
00:05:16
name Shandy as executor of her estate
00:05:18
eventually Shandy would fall out of
00:05:21
favour but not before she introduced
00:05:23
miss Duke to Bernhard Lafferty he was an
00:05:27
alcoholic he had a tremendous drinking
00:05:30
problem Doris told other family members
00:05:32
that she was pretty disgusted with him
00:05:34
she used to call him Rafferty instead of
00:05:37
Lafferty she would purposely
00:05:39
mispronounce his name she made made fun
00:05:41
of him that's why so many family members
00:05:44
were so surprised when in the end he was
00:05:47
in control in 1991 don't remove Shandy
00:05:52
as executor who replaced her with dr.
00:05:54
Harry Demopoulos a self-styled longevity
00:05:57
specialist
00:05:58
when I went over with her who were the
00:06:01
list of possible candidates for executor
00:06:03
and she mentioned dr. Demopoulos she
00:06:05
mentioned her nephew she mentioned her
00:06:07
business manager at the timer when bloom
00:06:09
and we considered the list together
00:06:11
Bernard wasn't even on the B list he
00:06:14
wasn't on the A List he wasn't on the B
00:06:15
list within a year that had changed dr.
00:06:20
dimopoulos was dropped and replaced by
00:06:22
Dukes accountant who was himself
00:06:24
replaced by Dukes half nephew along with
00:06:26
a butler Bernard Lafferty when Harry
00:06:30
Demopoulos and I heard that we said this
00:06:33
isn't the miss Duke that we know this
00:06:35
cannot have been a miss Duke who was
00:06:38
acting in a right mind at the time
00:06:44
Lafferty has various supporters who say
00:06:47
he was a natural choice for co-executor
00:06:49
they claim you as Miss Dukes closest
00:06:52
confidant and was looking out for her
00:06:54
best interests
00:06:55
however Dukes former housekeeper and her
00:06:58
personal chef were both suing Lafferty
00:07:00
for harassment and breach of contract
00:07:02
disagree Bernard is definitely
00:07:06
manipulator
00:07:07
Bernard let people in and let them out
00:07:10
he picked up the phone so after a while
00:07:14
he had control of who got in touch with
00:07:16
Miss Duke he would instruct other
00:07:19
employees of Miss Duke to have
00:07:23
conversations with mr. Kubat have
00:07:25
devoted he was to her he was trying to
00:07:27
win her her trusts and affections in an
00:07:32
obsessive kind of way within days of
00:07:37
appointing Lafferty as co-executor
00:07:38
Norris Duke then 78 elected to undergo
00:07:42
extensive cosmetic surgery the surgeon
00:07:45
dr. Harry Glassman was reportedly
00:07:47
recommended by Bernard Lafferty through
00:07:51
the autumn of 1991 miss Duke clearly was
00:07:55
failing mentally it was at this time
00:07:58
Bernard pressured her
00:08:01
coerced her and coaxed her into getting
00:08:05
involved with dr. Harry Glassman who was
00:08:08
going to lift her depression by making
00:08:12
her young and glamorous again in a
00:08:15
minute just two days after the cosmetic
00:08:19
surgery miss Duke fell at home and broke
00:08:21
her hip
00:08:22
dr. Glassman referred to Beverly Hills
00:08:24
physician dr. Charles kibble it's became
00:08:27
Dukes primary physicians over the next
00:08:32
year
00:08:32
miss Duke was in and out of the hospital
00:08:35
several times by early March of 1993
00:08:38
medical records indicate that she was
00:08:40
suffering from bouts of mild confusion
00:08:44
around this time miss Duke apparently
00:08:47
decided both to change her will and to
00:08:49
give Bernard Lafferty power of attorney
00:08:51
in our papers were drawn up by attorneys
00:08:55
Alan Kroll and William Doyle who had
00:08:57
been recommended by dr. Glasper this
00:09:01
Duke we've prepared your will
00:09:02
the signing took place at cedars-sinai
00:09:04
Medical Center and Bostitch was in the
00:09:07
room claims miss Duke did not know what
00:09:10
she was signing we got a little more
00:09:13
Congress couldn't really sign it he just
00:09:15
sat there like wooden statue and Bill
00:09:19
Doyle lifted the will up and put his
00:09:21
briefcase underneath to raise it up and
00:09:23
she still couldn't sign it so he slid
00:09:26
his hand under her wrist and sort of
00:09:30
propelled her hand along so she could
00:09:32
scroll her name and I stood there I was
00:09:36
totally shocked I thought this is
00:09:38
there's something really wrong here
00:09:41
thank you very much just in a sworn
00:09:43
deposition William Doyle claims miss
00:09:46
dilky was of sound mind and signed of
00:09:48
her own volition a few weeks later
00:09:52
Bernard Lafferty was also named sole
00:09:54
individual executor of the estate
00:09:57
allegedly went on a spending spree sixty
00:10:00
thousand dollars on Armani clothing
00:10:02
25,000 on jewelry several thousand more
00:10:05
on flowers and gifts all of the
00:10:08
purchases were reportedly charged to the
00:10:10
estate in July of 1993 Doris Duke
00:10:16
suffered a stroke she returned home
00:10:18
after two months in the hospital her
00:10:21
bedroom had been transformed into an
00:10:22
intensive carriers round-the-clock
00:10:25
nursing supervision do miss do dr.
00:10:30
Charles kibble which stated the
00:10:31
following in an affidavit given after
00:10:34
Dukes death Doris Dukes medical
00:10:38
situation while she was at home in late
00:10:39
September 1993 was terminal although
00:10:42
upon her discharge from the hospital I
00:10:44
had initially hoped that she would
00:10:46
improve for several months shortly after
00:10:48
she returned home a condition began to
00:10:50
deteriorate one of miss Dukes nurses was
00:10:54
Tammy peut in an affidavit filed in
00:10:57
January of 1995 Payette stated within a
00:11:02
short period of time after she arrived
00:11:04
home ms Dukes physical therapy was cut
00:11:06
off and she was placed on a massive
00:11:08
sedation regime by dr. kibbe wits at the
00:11:10
request of Bernard Lafferty ms Dukes
00:11:13
Butler the rehab has discontinued and
00:11:17
the drugs go up she's kept down she's
00:11:20
sedated and at that point it seems to me
00:11:23
Lafferty and the others have taken
00:11:25
control of her life
00:11:28
tami pay its credibility however has
00:11:30
been called into serious question
00:11:32
recently she was sentenced to eight
00:11:34
years in prison for stealing nearly a
00:11:37
million dollars worth of valuables from
00:11:39
several of her patients they get her to
00:11:42
come up with an affidavit 18 months
00:11:44
after Doris Dukes death saying my god
00:11:47
Doris Duke is being mistreated here she
00:11:49
could have lived for five years the
00:11:51
medication was too great where was she
00:11:53
when Doris dukkha was alive on October
00:11:59
7th dr. kipper wits began to administer
00:12:01
Demerol by injection even though Tammy
00:12:04
peut claims miss Duke was not in pain he
00:12:08
had further claims at Dukes request to
00:12:10
return to the hospital was ignored
00:12:12
they've got her home she signed the will
00:12:15
if they let her out if they let her meet
00:12:18
a friend if they let somebody come in
00:12:20
there and they Rehab her she may sign
00:12:22
other wills this is the time for miss
00:12:25
Duke to die she made the decision in
00:12:28
full possession of her faculties that
00:12:33
she no longer wanted to go to
00:12:35
cedars-sinai or anywhere else she wanted
00:12:37
to be remained comfortable and pain-free
00:12:38
there in her house that's where if she
00:12:41
was going to die she wanted to die and
00:12:44
dr. Kevin woods filed her orders he
00:12:45
would have filed any orders she had
00:12:47
given him
00:12:51
nine days later dr. Kevin wits ordered
00:12:54
that miss Duke be given Demerol by
00:12:55
continuous intravenous drip rather than
00:12:58
injection in his affidavit kibble it's
00:13:01
explained by October 26th 1993 I believe
00:13:06
to a reasonable degree of medical
00:13:07
certainty that Miss Duke was near death
00:13:11
the next day a parcel was delivered to
00:13:14
the Duke mansion addressed to one of the
00:13:16
nurses a package arrived and it was from
00:13:20
a drug company somewhere and Bernard
00:13:22
jumped out of the chair and he ran over
00:13:24
and he grabbed the box and he looked at
00:13:26
it and then took it downstairs and then
00:13:30
a few minutes later he could me Oh miss
00:13:33
Duke is gonna die tonight and he said it
00:13:35
with definitive finality it wasn't like
00:13:38
the other times where you say oh I think
00:13:40
she's dying in his affidavit dr. kibbe
00:13:45
was acknowledged a change in medication
00:13:47
that afternoon he substituted morphine
00:13:51
for Demerol in her affidavit Tammy peut
00:13:55
made note of bernard Lafferty's reaction
00:13:57
to the day's events
00:13:59
later that evening Bernard became very
00:14:02
excited and impatient because miss Duke
00:14:04
was lingering and called dr. kibbe wits
00:14:06
explaining that miss Duke had not
00:14:08
expired right thank you very much yes
00:14:12
goodbye
00:14:13
[Music]
00:14:16
records indicate the dr. kibbe which
00:14:19
then returned to the mansion and
00:14:20
administered another ten milligrams of
00:14:22
morphine by intravenous push he recorded
00:14:26
that the patient was in a state of
00:14:27
advanced pulmonary edema a fluid buildup
00:14:30
in the lungs
00:14:31
Tammy peut self a David paints a
00:14:34
different picture eventually as a result
00:14:38
of the morphine IV MS Dukes kidneys
00:14:40
began to fail her lungs filled up with
00:14:42
fluid and her circulation began to
00:14:44
deteriorate ms Duke did not have
00:14:47
pulmonary edema and no doctor had
00:14:50
diagnosed pulmonary edema everybody
00:14:54
there knew that miss Duke was going to
00:14:56
be dying with those with the addition of
00:14:58
that morphine and you could see the
00:15:00
lockstep relationship increased doses
00:15:02
drip drip drip Intimus do down goes the
00:15:06
breathing down goes the heartbeat and to
00:15:09
where the flatline Duke
00:15:12
miss Duke can you hear me at 4:00 a.m.
00:15:15
on October 28th Doris Duke was clinging
00:15:18
to life respirations are decreased to
00:15:20
four to five per minute according to the
00:15:23
nurses records written by Tammy peut dr.
00:15:26
kibbe was phoned and increased the
00:15:28
morphine dosage I asked in the
00:15:31
deposition of the doctor was she in pain
00:15:34
course not she's unconscious and yet
00:15:37
we're increasing the morphine there's no
00:15:39
reason other than pain or terminating a
00:15:42
patient to increase the morphine at that
00:15:44
point and that's what happened with miss
00:15:46
Duke dr. Kim Woods did everything he
00:15:49
could to keep her pain-free and
00:15:50
comfortable and whenever he gave nurse
00:15:52
pay at the discretion to increase the
00:15:54
medication if necessary
00:15:56
nurse pay increased it far beyond what
00:15:58
he authorized then claimed 18 months
00:16:01
later that he was the one over
00:16:03
medicating her it doesn't make sense
00:16:08
at 5:15 a.m. according to notes from
00:16:11
another nurse a 100 milligram dose of
00:16:14
Demerol was added to the morphine drip
00:16:16
by Koch telephone order of dr. Glassman
00:16:19
/ dr. kibbutz an hour later Doris Duke
00:16:23
was dead
00:16:25
[Music]
00:16:33
I believe that woman wanted every chance
00:16:35
possible to live she had a strong
00:16:38
constitution and a will and I know she
00:16:41
wanted to live and I know they killed
00:16:44
her I mean she went to these doctors
00:16:47
because she wanted to dance again she
00:16:50
wanted to go and be photographed
00:16:51
shopping in Paris and what happens is a
00:16:58
year and a half later they're hooking
00:17:01
her up to machines giving her amounts of
00:17:05
drugs that would drop Napoleon's army if
00:17:09
you look at the facts here at the care
00:17:11
that was given by dr. kibbe woods at the
00:17:13
money at stake you realize there's only
00:17:15
one motive here and that's to get their
00:17:17
hands on part of the estate of Doris
00:17:20
Duke and to do so they will drag any
00:17:22
innocent people into it that they feel
00:17:24
it's necessary and unfortunately dr.
00:17:26
kibbe wits is one of those innocent
00:17:27
people
00:17:28
[Music]
00:17:32
her father told her Doris you have more
00:17:35
money than anyone else people are never
00:17:37
gonna love you except for your money she
00:17:40
did not trust people her father had told
00:17:42
her that and so Bernard Lafferty was
00:17:44
able to fill a void he came into a
00:17:46
vacuum he then found a group of
00:17:49
opportunist he found medical doctors and
00:17:52
he found lawyers who saw him as someone
00:17:55
who they could control so while he used
00:17:57
miss Duke he was also I think used by
00:18:00
those around him who had something to
00:18:02
gain
00:18:03
[Music]
00:18:26

[Music]
00:19:05

00:19:07
expect the unexpected
00:19:09
tonight's update is a perfect example
00:19:15
May 7th 1964 Queens New York Jean and
00:19:20
Don Warren rushed to greet the newest
00:19:22
member of their family a two-year-old
00:19:24
foster child named Roger Linsley I fell
00:19:33
in love with him immediately
00:19:36
there was something about him that drew
00:19:39
me to him and I said to myself this is
00:19:43
gonna be my son over the next three
00:19:47
years Roger became just that the fourth
00:19:49
child and only son in a warm and loving
00:19:52
household
00:19:53
I think adjusting and our family was the
00:19:57
best thing for Roger whatever we did he
00:20:00
was there with us and each day I was
00:20:04
loving this child more and more and more
00:20:07
[Music]
00:20:09
but in 1967 Jean and her husband had to
00:20:12
move to Ohio
00:20:13
they were heartbroken to learn that they
00:20:16
could not take Roger with them Jean will
00:20:20
never forget the morning the social
00:20:22
worker came to take Roger away when she
00:20:27
took him to the car he looked at us and
00:20:30
looked at me and I remembered putting up
00:20:32
his hand and crying I don't want to go I
00:20:37
don't want to go and you'd be a good boy
00:20:40
Roger I could only say Roger be good to
00:20:43
carry yourself and I love you and I'll
00:20:47
always remember you
00:20:49
Jean Warren remained true to her word
00:20:51
she never stopped looking for Roger
00:20:54
here's Keely Shea Smith to tell you how
00:20:57
she found him
00:20:59
Bob the night of our broadcast we
00:21:02
received a call from a very excited
00:21:04
Roger Linsley he was thrilled to learn
00:21:06
that gene was looking for him
00:21:08
normally that would have been enough but
00:21:10
a few minutes later we were stunned to
00:21:13
hear from a man named James Linsley who
00:21:15
turned out to be Rogers long-lost
00:21:17
brother suddenly the stage was set for a
00:21:20
remarkable double reunion on March 8th
00:21:26
1996 30 years after they were separated
00:21:30
roger Linsley finally came home to gene
00:21:33
warren the woman he still calls mom i
00:21:38
[Music]
00:21:41
was a static my heart started pounding i
00:21:48
would like him and his wife to be a part
00:21:51
of our family and it's so nice to hear
00:21:55
him call me Mom that makes it all
00:21:59
worthwhile
00:21:59
I feel so much love for that woman she
00:22:05
has changed my life I got a family
00:22:11
overnight overnight I got a family and
00:22:14
I'm a happy man
00:22:19
of your life of three years that you
00:22:23
spent with us the reunion with Jean was
00:22:26
a rousing success but there was more to
00:22:29
come much more Rogers brother James was
00:22:32
on the way they hadn't seen each other
00:22:35
in nearly three decades
00:22:48
that's unbelievable there's no feeling
00:22:52
in the world you could imagine there's
00:22:54
not to have a family and then thirty
00:22:56
years later in your life you see
00:22:57
somebody that's like you is
00:22:59
indescribable I'm overwhelmed
00:23:03
I really am I found my foster mother
00:23:07
downtown my brother we were separated as
00:23:11
infants I didn't I couldn't see leaving
00:23:16
this world without knowing where I came
00:23:17
from
00:23:19
now I know
00:23:20
[Music]
00:23:22
believe it or not there was still more
00:23:25
to come in the weeks since their reunion
00:23:27
Roger and James have found both their
00:23:30
brother Phillip and their father Phillip
00:23:32
senior for one family a happy ending and
00:23:35
a new beginning the snapshot is a window
00:23:56
to another place in time the Regina
00:23:58
Pacis Catholic orphanage in Vietnam
00:24:01
circa 1967 for a woman named Kim Shan
00:24:06
shown here at the age of 8 the picture
00:24:09
is one of the few tangible links to her
00:24:10
childhood friends knock and young sing
00:24:13
Kim hopes at tonight they will all be
00:24:16
reunited here in the United States after
00:24:19
a separation of nearly 30 years I feel
00:24:24
that um growing up together in the
00:24:27
orphanage they're the only roots that
00:24:30
I've known and I would like to find them
00:24:33
again
00:24:34
[Music]
00:24:37
Kym's ancestral roots were lost forever
00:24:39
in the land of her birth swept away by
00:24:41
history and circumstance as an infant
00:24:47
kim was left for the nuns of the
00:24:49
orphanage to find it was a parish priest
00:25:01
to christen her trance I Kim Han she
00:25:05
joined some 80 other girls at the
00:25:06
orphanage and there she came of age by
00:25:14
the time Kim turned five she and her
00:25:17
friends knocked and young-soon were
00:25:18
inseparable
00:25:21
no Jung sting and I we would always try
00:25:24
to sit together in the classroom and
00:25:28
during recess we would go out and we
00:25:31
would play in the playground together we
00:25:35
just seemed to always be together and we
00:25:41
didn't really think about parents
00:25:43
because we were raised in the orphanage
00:25:45
and we feel that's like family Kim's
00:25:51
life is far from luxurious but she was
00:25:53
sheltered from the winds of wars during
00:25:55
beyond the orphanage walls
00:25:57
[Music]
00:26:00
by the mid-sixties Saigon was flooded
00:26:03
with American troops some found their
00:26:09
way to the orphanage they would hand us
00:26:14
out lifesavers watch cherry lifesavers I
00:26:18
remember that because that was like my
00:26:20
favorite candy na kyung Seng and I we
00:26:24
would talk about this we hope that
00:26:27
someday an American family would adopt
00:26:30
this bring us to America where we could
00:26:33
live free and live happy
00:26:37
with a war escalating around them a
00:26:40
nun's redouble their efforts to find
00:26:42
permanent homes for the girls
00:26:47
Kim's chance came during the spring of
00:26:50
1967 Lawrence shooter was a retired Air
00:27:02
Force lieutenant colonel he and his wife
00:27:04
had already adopted two boys now they
00:27:07
wanted a little girl Mia Larry before an
00:27:13
adoption could move forward
00:27:15
the nuns wanted Kim and the shooter
00:27:17
family to get acquainted I have
00:27:19
something special for you what do you
00:27:21
think it is drive that thing I'll show
00:27:29
you come on
00:27:30
nearly every weekend for six months
00:27:33
shooter took Kim on an outing
00:27:37
some days they would spend hours just
00:27:39
meandering through Saigon trying on the
00:27:42
roles of father and daughter in the end
00:27:47
it would be Kim's decision whether or
00:27:49
not to leave the orphanage and join the
00:27:51
shooter family for advice she turned to
00:27:54
her closest confidants NOK and young
00:27:57
Singh you can go missed you guys and you
00:28:07
guys won't be there they could take good
00:28:10
care of you I don't really know anybody
00:28:12
in the United States they have good
00:28:16
cheeseburgers there an 8 year old has no
00:28:21
idea of what going to America means no
00:28:25
matter how well someone tries to explain
00:28:28
it to them it is total culture shock so
00:28:31
you go to America's like seeing go to
00:28:36
Cinderella's palace have you decided
00:28:42
sister Lucy the Mother Superior provided
00:28:45
the final nudge towards a choice if
00:28:48
Colonel Shweta wanted to adopt young
00:28:50
King or no you want them to go have a
00:28:53
good life don't you yes but that's what
00:28:56
I want for you and that's what God wants
00:29:01
friends maybe this would help and don't
00:29:09
worry there's an American family that
00:29:12
once saw dr. Jung ching hang up together
00:29:14
I mean they're going to America too
00:29:18
someday
00:29:21
[Music]
00:29:24
I was a little nervous about leaving
00:29:29
very scared but yet kind of excited
00:29:34
[Music]
00:29:37
they were excited for me and happy for
00:29:41
me that I got a chance to go and have a
00:29:43
better life
00:29:45
[Music]
00:29:54
and that was the last time I got to see
00:29:56
them
00:29:58
[Music]
00:30:03
Kim left Vietnam with her adoptive
00:30:06
father in September of 1967 today she
00:30:12
lives outside San Antonio Texas with her
00:30:14
husband and two sons her older boy is
00:30:17
about the same age that Kim was when she
00:30:19
left the Regina patches orphanage in
00:30:21
Saigon nearly 30 years ago at that time
00:30:26
Kim's friend young Singh was between
00:30:28
five and eight years old today she would
00:30:31
be in her mid-30s luck was about eight
00:30:36
years old she would be in her late 30s
00:30:39
both girls may have been adopted by the
00:30:42
same family and raised his sisters in
00:30:44
the United States
00:30:47
[Music]
00:30:54
next in Puerto Rico reports abound that
00:30:58
a mysterious unknown beast is on the
00:31:01
loose
00:31:02
[Music]
00:31:16
this is a UK rainforest on the island of
00:31:20
Puerto Rico a tropical paradise perhaps
00:31:24
best described as heaven on earth but
00:31:27
something is reportedly lurking on the
00:31:29
fringes of the forest a mysterious beast
00:31:32
which has turned heaven into hell I
00:31:37
could see it had something here on its
00:31:39
head it was like a crest when I saw him
00:31:46
stick out his pointed tongue and when he
00:31:49
held his claws and crouched for an
00:31:50
attack I thought I was the next victim I
00:31:55
felt like he was watching me because of
00:31:58
certain movements made by his eyes I
00:32:01
could see three fingers on each hand and
00:32:04
on each finger very long claws they call
00:32:09
the Beast chupacabras it preys on
00:32:11
livestock and domesticated pets it may
00:32:14
look like a creature out of a low-budget
00:32:16
horror film yet these composite drawings
00:32:19
are based on eyewitness descriptions
00:32:21
from dozens of Puerto Ricans in this day
00:32:26
and age it seems almost impossible that
00:32:28
such a creature might exist tales of the
00:32:31
puerto rican monster have been dismissed
00:32:33
as fantasy and imagination its attacks
00:32:35
attributed to wild dogs or monkeys some
00:32:39
of the images you're about to see are
00:32:40
unpleasant but necessary to understand
00:32:43
the phenomenon of chupacabras
00:32:47
David McGraw was one of the first to
00:32:50
encounter the Beast before dawn on
00:32:54
September 9th 1995 David went out to
00:32:57
check on the family goat David was
00:33:02
starting to discover that his goat had
00:33:04
been killed
00:33:12
after I found the goat dead I was
00:33:15
standing there looking around and that's
00:33:17
when I saw the creature
00:33:22
maril it was black and hairy it had
00:33:25
large red eyes and a crest on top of its
00:33:28
head when I saw it
00:33:33
I felt scared and I began to run I've
00:33:40
never seen anything like that and I've
00:33:42
never been that scared before
00:33:46
later that day investigators from the
00:33:49
civil defense were called to the scene
00:33:50
on they examined the goat the only
00:33:53
injuries they found were two small
00:33:55
puncture wounds on the back of its neck
00:33:57
yet surprisingly the goat had been
00:33:59
almost entirely drained of its blood the
00:34:04
local press immediately seized upon the
00:34:06
story
00:34:06
the creature was dubbed chupacabras the
00:34:09
goat sucker over the next three months
00:34:13
dozens of attacks were reported the
00:34:16
targets were all small animals strangely
00:34:19
their carcasses were largely intact
00:34:22
journalist Jorge Martine followed up
00:34:24
many of the stories and began to see a
00:34:27
pattern in many occasions these are
00:34:30
puncture wounds about I would say maybe
00:34:33
a fourth way half an inch in in size
00:34:37
perfect circle's these small puncture
00:34:40
wounds go into the animals in most of
00:34:43
kitchens we have found that they seem to
00:34:44
go right to the brain of the animals and
00:34:47
kill the animals affecting the brain and
00:34:49
the nervous systems of the animals in
00:34:51
other occasions they go right straight
00:34:54
into the animals in different areas as
00:34:56
if looking for certain organs in most of
00:34:59
occasions the organs affected are the
00:35:02
livers of the animals and the
00:35:04
reproductive systems of the animals two
00:35:07
attacks have been reported all over
00:35:09
Puerto Rico for the greatest
00:35:11
concentration in the village of Cano
00:35:13
Venus 30 miles east of the capital city
00:35:15
San Juan by October of 1995 even the
00:35:20
mayor of Canova knows Jose Soto had
00:35:23
taken an active role in the
00:35:24
investigation
00:35:26
maybe centerĂs and me innocent I began
00:35:30
to take an interest in this matter when
00:35:31
I visited a farm where five sheep had
00:35:33
been killed I saw two wounds in the neck
00:35:36
and on some 1/3 mark it attacks various
00:35:42
animals but mostly sheep and rabbits
00:35:44
because they cannot defend themselves
00:35:46
easily over the next few months mayor
00:35:52
Soto visited the sites of several
00:35:53
killings he interviewed witnesses and
00:35:56
organized search parties the attacks
00:35:58
continued because there have been more
00:36:04
than a hundred animals killed we're
00:36:06
talking about 70 or 80 attacks at the
00:36:10
moment we have some hysteria
00:36:12
some real problems and some fear I'm
00:36:15
determined to resolve this matter
00:36:18
despite the hysteria there were still
00:36:20
many skeptics among them police
00:36:23
detective Elia Sara Valen super guy I
00:36:29
didn't believe in this chupacabra Lisa
00:36:31
the people were just speculating or
00:36:33
perhaps because they were emotional or
00:36:35
fray they exaggerated things personally
00:36:39
I never was convinced with these stories
00:36:41
I just never believed them that changed
00:36:46
one night as Rivera and a friend drove
00:36:48
home from church
00:36:53
[Music]
00:36:56
I saw something strange on the roadside
00:36:59
I thought it was a puppet maybe as I
00:37:01
watched and observe the puppet it began
00:37:04
to move and I thought what is this
00:37:08
[Music]
00:37:12
long eyes that were married it had fangs
00:37:17
it was hairy and it had three fingers
00:37:19
with claws
00:37:27
when I opened the car door the animals
00:37:30
took out a long spike from his mouth
00:37:33
interpreted this spike as a defense
00:37:35
mechanism so I sat back close the door
00:37:38
and kept watching my experience as an
00:37:44
investigator we're trained to analyze
00:37:47
and quietly evaluate was in that moment
00:37:50
I can't lie to you
00:37:52
I was scared now I know what's out there
00:37:58
when people talk about you but calm down
00:38:00
yes he exists is not any known animal
00:38:04
I tell you sincerely what I saw was not
00:38:07
of this world
00:38:09
most of the eyewitness descriptions are
00:38:12
describing the same type of creature
00:38:13
with the same details they describe
00:38:16
something a beast like animal like with
00:38:20
a strange type of head more humanoid
00:38:22
looking with big red luminous eyes and
00:38:25
flat nose a small slick like mouth with
00:38:28
some fans protruding out from it almost
00:38:30
no ears in late November Jorge Martina a
00:38:35
TV news crew asked veterinarian Carlos
00:38:37
Soto
00:38:38
to examine two rabbits allegedly killed
00:38:40
by chupacabras dr. soda made a number of
00:38:43
perplexing discoveries a precise
00:38:46
circular wound on the back of one
00:38:48
rabbits neck the removal of specific
00:38:51
internal organs in the absence of rigor
00:38:53
mortis I thought wow this is something
00:38:57
strange here because this is not normal
00:39:00
on my 8 years in practice I never seen
00:39:03
that before it was my first time to see
00:39:05
something that odd a month later dr.
00:39:09
Soto examined 20 dead birds each had
00:39:12
been killed by a puncture wound to the
00:39:14
back of the neck I have seen birds in
00:39:17
which they don't go into rigor mortis
00:39:19
again some birds in which they are
00:39:21
depleted from all the internal organs
00:39:24
okay some birds in which they never the
00:39:28
blood never coagulates and also some
00:39:30
birds in which we'll see a perfect round
00:39:33
wound again and all the thoracic and
00:39:36
abdominal cavity is been opened okay
00:39:39
like a perfect wound okay so it's
00:39:43
strange strange what will seem a
00:39:46
necropsy yeah in the animal autopsies
00:39:49
that I've done the evidence does suggest
00:39:51
that these animals were attacked by some
00:39:54
dr. David Morales a veterinarian and
00:39:57
spokesperson for the Puerto Rican
00:39:58
government discounts rulers of a strange
00:40:01
unknown based well they mock pain sad
00:40:05
coincidence
00:40:07
we think that they were attacked by
00:40:08
doors they might be wild dogs
00:40:12
they could be vicious monkeys or could
00:40:14
be Tigers there are a number of possible
00:40:17
predators that could attack these
00:40:18
animals in this way these animals are
00:40:23
left intact sometimes and the perfect
00:40:28
ones that we have are not compatible
00:40:30
with the bite wounds it doesn't all go
00:40:35
rattle something strange is going this
00:40:38
isn't about dogs or monkeys or bats or
00:40:41
anything like that it's something very
00:40:43
strange and the creature that we're
00:40:45
searching for is very intelligent
00:40:48
these attacks can be dismissed as
00:40:52
accounts of drunken people or ignorant
00:40:56
people because we're talking about
00:40:58
highly reliable people all over porto
00:41:01
rico who are witnessing these attacks
00:41:03
and these creatures - until recently
00:41:09
every reported attack by chupacabras has
00:41:12
been in Puerto Rico the last month in
00:41:15
Miami - goats from twenty six chickens
00:41:17
perished in a manner that was almost
00:41:18
identical to the killings and Cano Venus
00:41:21
perhaps a massacre was a work of dogs or
00:41:25
a cruel hoax or perhaps just perhaps the
00:41:29
chupacabras does walk among us
00:41:35
next a young couple is stunned when a
00:41:38
lost treasure apparently falls from the
00:41:40
sky
00:41:41
[Music]
00:41:53
imagine that you're a young married
00:41:55
couple you're struggling to make ends
00:41:57
meet wondering if you'll ever have
00:41:58
enough money to buy a house and send the
00:42:00
kids to college you dream about the pot
00:42:03
of gold at the end of the rainbow but
00:42:05
you certainly don't expect to find it in
00:42:07
your own backyard

November 12th 1995 was like any other
00:42:15
Sunday for Matt and Wendy Jamison of
00:42:17
Fair Oaks California they spent the
00:42:20
morning in church and returned home
00:42:21
around 10:30 but on this particular
00:42:24
Sunday
00:42:25
something just short of miraculous would
00:42:27
occur it began with a damp excited dog I
00:42:31
noticed my dog was glad and I was
00:42:34
wondering how she caught wet cuz it
00:42:35
hadn't rained and then I noticed looked
00:42:40
like paper all over the backyard
00:42:42
when I walked up there I noticed it was
00:42:45
money I thought then I took off running
00:42:46
towards it
00:42:48
indeed that paper was money $6,500 and
00:42:53
$20 bills
00:42:54
origin unknown I was trying to get it
00:43:04
the fastest I could but I didn't know
00:43:06
where this came from and this is a new
00:43:08
neighbor a does and I didn't want a lot
00:43:09
of people seeing me have office money so
00:43:11
I was trying to pick it up as fast as I
00:43:13
could
00:43:19
it took 20 minutes to collect all the
00:43:22
bills at another 20 to count them I've
00:43:26
never seen as much money before where do
00:43:29
you think it came from
00:43:39
the Jameson's first instinct was to call
00:43:41
the police but then again $6,500 was a
00:43:45
lot of money temptation began to creep
00:43:48
in we decided to wait till the next day
00:43:51
to decide and then I was kind of
00:43:54
thinking oh well that night I was think
00:43:56
it would be nice to have some some
00:43:58
things so I started cutting more leaning
00:44:01
towards wanting to keep it but well I
00:44:04
stayed up the whole night we found it I
00:44:06
didn't get any sleep any noise I heard I
00:44:08
was up looking around you know seeing
00:44:11
was going because I expected somebody to
00:44:13
come back after it and you know I have I
00:44:16
have a family to protect and I wasn't
00:44:17
about to let anybody come in this house
00:44:19
so I was uh definitely waiting up one
00:44:24
sleepless night was more than enough
00:44:27
yeah hello Sheriff's Department I found
00:44:30
some money in my backyard I'm wondering
00:44:33
who I should speak to about this I've
00:44:35
been in law enforcement 27 years and
00:44:37
I've never seen a case like this in my
00:44:39
27 years of experience not only we find
00:44:43
money at this residence we found money
00:44:45
next door NAT the house behind and also
00:44:48
on on the rooftops of one of the houses
00:44:50
so which was quite unusual it appears at
00:44:53
this point there's a couple reasons why
00:44:57
this may have happened the first
00:44:59
speculation is somebody may have thrown
00:45:01
it out of an airplane we have a lot of
00:45:04
planes flying throughout the county here
00:45:05
and there's airports all around us the
00:45:08
second speculation is that it could be
00:45:11
drug money and somebody threw it from
00:45:14
the street over the house that landed on
00:45:16
a roof and subsequently fell off into
00:45:18
the backyards why don't we count this
00:45:21
money out and you can verify that I come
00:45:25
up with $6,500 and we'll all told more
00:45:28
than $10,000 that apparently just
00:45:30
dropped from the sky California law
00:45:33
required the fighters to place an ad in
00:45:35
the local newspaper the owner then head
00:45:37
up to 90 days to claim the money if no
00:45:40
claim was made Matt and Wendy would get
00:45:43
to keep the
00:45:44
and share of the twenties from heaven a
00:45:46
lot of people you know say why'd you
00:45:49
turn it in why'd you turn it in you know
00:45:51
I would have kept it but I I really
00:45:52
don't think that you can say that
00:45:55
honestly until you live having that
00:45:57
money around and then you know I always
00:46:00
thought personally if I found money like
00:46:02
that that I would probably keep it but
00:46:05
now after having that amount of money
00:46:07
around I you know I know if that I did
00:46:10
the right thing as it turned out March
00:46:16
1st 1996 rolled around the 90-day
00:46:19
waiting period ended Matt and Wendy are
00:46:21
now legally entitled to the $6,500 which
00:46:24
they plan to use towards a down payment
00:46:26
on a house
00:46:27
as far as the Jameson's are concerned
00:46:29
this is one unsolved mystery where
00:46:32
honesty truly paid off on our next
00:46:43
unsolved mysteries Shelly Malone do
00:46:46
almost all there was to know about
00:46:47
horses
00:46:48
so when Shelly died in a freak riding
00:46:51
accident
00:46:51
her family was naturally surprised now
00:46:54
their doubts have grown into outright
00:46:55
suspicions and led them to a stunning
00:46:58
conclusion on a stormy summer afternoon
00:47:02
a bolt of lightning left a young man at
00:47:04
death's door setting the stage for the
00:47:06
appearance of a mysterious lady in black
00:47:08
and the miraculous resurrection nearly
00:47:13
30 years ago the assassination of
00:47:15
Senator Robert Kennedy shocked the
00:47:17
nation today this man claims at
00:47:19
photographs he took that night could
00:47:21
change the official record but those
00:47:23
pictures have been explicably
00:47:24
disappeared
