in the early 1960s Boston was gripped
00:01:38
with fear a killer was on the loose 10
00:01:42
women were found murdered they ranged in
00:01:45
age from 19 to 75 and they had different
00:01:49
ethnic backgrounds they lived in
00:01:52
different
00:01:53
[Music]
00:01:55
neighborhoods the only thing these women
00:01:57
had in common was that they were both
00:01:59
strangled to death in their own
00:02:02
Apartments the police were frustrated
00:02:04
the public was terrified they named the
00:02:06
killer The Boston
00:02:10
Strangler there are stories of women
00:02:12
rushing out to dog pounds to buy every
00:02:16
available stray mut for protection
00:02:19
locksmiths reported a run on their
00:02:22
businesses uh people were obviously
00:02:25
quite clearly frightened by whatever was
00:02:28
out there 10 months after the last
00:02:31
murder few people noticed when a man
00:02:34
named Albert Dal Salvo was arrested on
00:02:37
unrelated sexual assault
00:02:39
charges davvo was married and had two
00:02:42
children he also had an extensive
00:02:45
history of sexual offenses one of his
00:02:48
many nicknames was the measuring man
00:02:52
good morning wow your neighbors War
00:02:54
right you really are
00:02:55
beautiful my name is Jack Johnson I'm
00:02:58
from the Cambridge modeling agency over
00:03:01
CVO pretended to be recruiting fashion
00:03:04
models he would smooth talk his way into
00:03:06
women's homes measure them for clothing
00:03:09
and then fondle them here's a contract I
00:03:12
was talking to you about and the scam
00:03:15
eventually caught up with him he was
00:03:17
arrested and sent to prison for one
00:03:20
year after diso's release police began
00:03:24
receiving complaints about the Green Man
00:03:27
a maintenance worker who talked his way
00:03:29
into women's apartments and then
00:03:31
assaulted them good morning how are you
00:03:34
fine how are you good the uh
00:03:36
superintendent told me to take a look at
00:03:38
your plumbing in she would let him in he
00:03:40
would make an overture toour
00:03:42
her if the Overture were repelled he
00:03:45
would leave but a surprising number of
00:03:47
times it wasn't according to him and he
00:03:51
ended up making love with the woman
00:03:52
right down later his assaults became
00:03:57
much more
00:03:58
aggressive event Sur these were the
00:04:01
charges that he was arrested
00:04:04
for oh come in Mr dvo the Salvo was
00:04:08
arrested and sent to a mental hospital
00:04:11
Dr Ames Roby was the medical director
00:04:14
there I see here that you've been
00:04:17
charged with a series of
00:04:19
molestations a molestation may be too
00:04:21
strong a word well how do you mean well
00:04:25
I mean all the women I was with they had
00:04:26
a very good time well the first thing
00:04:28
that was didn't so obvious about Albert
00:04:32
was his incredible need to
00:04:36
be somebody
00:04:38
important how many women would you say
00:04:41
you introduced yourself to with your
00:04:43
measuring and repair work
00:04:46
schemes 600 600 he would brag about
00:04:50
almost anything he gave the feeling
00:04:53
although he didn't say so at that time
00:04:56
that he sort of wanted to be as well
00:04:58
known as in quotes The Boston
00:05:03
Strangler 3 months later George Nasser
00:05:06
another inmate at Bridgewater had an odd
00:05:09
conversation about the Boston Strangler
00:05:12
with his lawyer flee Bailey if a man was
00:05:15
a Strangler the guy who killed all those
00:05:17
women would it be possible for him to
00:05:19
publish his story and make some money
00:05:20
with it he asked me whether or not it
00:05:22
would be possible for someone who had
00:05:24
done the stranglings to write a book and
00:05:26
my off-hand answer was sure but you
00:05:28
might go to the electric chair as a con
00:05:30
sequence later on I was asked to get
00:05:32
down and see this fellow Albert Dal
00:05:34
Salvo by my client Albert specifically
00:05:38
what do you want me to do for you I got
00:05:40
a wife I got a a 2-year-old son a
00:05:44
seven-year-old daughter and um I know
00:05:47
I'm going to be locked up for for the
00:05:49
rest of my life I just hope it's in a
00:05:50
house it was a little incredulous
00:05:52
because everybody develops a profile
00:05:54
you're looking for a monster somebody
00:05:56
you know whose jowls are dripping and
00:05:58
just didn't seem to fit there are
00:06:01
obvious problems uh about confessing to
00:06:04
a crime in print when there hasn't been
00:06:06
a
00:06:07
trial he wanted to be able to tell his
00:06:10
story he said I would like to find out
00:06:12
why I am like this maybe people could
00:06:14
give me tests or something before we
00:06:16
even consider that I need to know what
00:06:19
that story is well as judge probably
00:06:22
told you I'm the one they looking
00:06:25
for the one that did all the stranglings
00:06:28
okay I had no of knowing whether or not
00:06:30
he was telling the truth fantasizing
00:06:33
because he was crazy or had read a lot
00:06:35
of things in the newspapers and wanted
00:06:37
to be
00:06:37
famous let's move on to Sophie Clark two
00:06:41
days later Bailey returned to
00:06:42
Bridgewater with a tape recorder and a
00:06:45
list of questions with diso's permission
00:06:48
Bailey had struck a deal with the Boston
00:06:50
police they would provide Bailey with
00:06:53
details only the Strangler would know as
00:06:55
a way of testing the Salvo in return
00:06:58
Bailey was guaranteed the tapes would
00:07:01
never be heard in court get you know
00:07:04
like a stalk and a something to wrap
00:07:05
around the neck
00:07:09
and I knocked a pack of cigarettes on
00:07:11
the
00:07:13
floor pack of cigarettes on the
00:07:16
floor I left him there when I left oh
00:07:19
this guy has got to be it his
00:07:21
description of the crime scenes it was
00:07:24
just so accurate that uh that impressed
00:07:29
me you very much we have to proceed
00:07:31
cautiously but when Dr am Roby heard the
00:07:34
tape he was not impressed he believ
00:07:37
there was another explanation for Dal
00:07:40
sala's knowledge of the crime scenes
00:07:43
Albert indicated to us that he had gone
00:07:47
to the various sites that the newspapers
00:07:50
had named after the police tapes and the
00:07:54
like were off the doors in the
00:07:57
apartments just to sort of be there
00:07:59
there and see what it was like
00:08:02
fascinated you know I I I just want to
00:08:05
be there walk around get a feeling for
00:08:06
it Dr Robi says that delvo had a
00:08:10
photographic memory he may have visited
00:08:13
the victim's apartments or perhaps he
00:08:16
was just repeating what someone else had
00:08:19
described to him Roby began to believe
00:08:22
that Dal salvo's friend George Nasser
00:08:25
was somehow involved I first began to
00:08:28
wonder about something going on when no
00:08:32
other inmates would come near them and
00:08:34
they would immediately stop talking if
00:08:37
the guards or staff came anywhere near
00:08:40
where they could hear but they would
00:08:42
have extensive
00:08:44
conversations about what of course we
00:08:47
didn't know a career criminal George
00:08:50
Nasser had been in prison for killing a
00:08:53
gas station attendant shortly after the
00:08:55
Strangler killed his last victim at our
00:08:59
request Nasser agreed to discuss his
00:09:02
role in the case and his relationship
00:09:04
with Albert de Salvo for the first time
00:09:07
with Albert Del Salvo I was simply an
00:09:11
associate I've done the same thing with
00:09:13
many many
00:09:15
prisoners uh uh people come to me and
00:09:18
ask me for advice I give it to them if
00:09:21
they say if if it's worthy of me
00:09:24
assisting them I assist them for my
00:09:27
reasons because I feel it's it's a
00:09:29
Worthy to do the Massachusetts Attorney
00:09:31
General ordered that news of the salvis
00:09:34
confession be kept Under Wraps within
00:09:37
the police department there was a split
00:09:39
over whether Dal Salva was in fact the
00:09:42
killer I really couldn't break it down
00:09:44
percentage wise uh probably a little
00:09:47
more than 50% believed D Sala was the
00:09:49
Strangler and a little less than 50%
00:09:51
believed he was not the
00:09:52
Strangler then someone leaked a story of
00:09:56
the confession to the local newspapers
00:09:59
I don't want you to be frightened in
00:10:01
response to the story two women came
00:10:04
forward one was a survivor of a possible
00:10:07
Strangler attack the other was a
00:10:09
neighbor of one of the victims they were
00:10:12
brought to Bridgewater to see if they
00:10:13
recognized any of the inates did you see
00:10:17
somebody which one the gentleman all the
00:10:20
way in the back right next to the C next
00:10:23
to the car yes next to Door surprisingly
00:10:26
the one familiar face did not belong to
00:10:29
Albert D Salo but to George
00:10:35
Nasser next George Nasser responds to
00:10:38
the charge that he is the Boston
00:10:47
Strangler by the spring of 1965
00:10:50
investigators were totally convinced
00:10:53
that Albert the Salvo was the Boston
00:10:55
Strangler and then they were stunned
00:10:58
when a w was brought to a state mental
00:11:00
hospital and identified a different
00:11:03
inmate as the
00:11:04
Strangler that man is a convicted killer
00:11:07
named George
00:11:10
Nasser George Nasser would fit the
00:11:14
profile of the Boston Strangler we found
00:11:18
nothing that would rule him out not even
00:11:21
one
00:11:24
iota I do not kill women
00:11:30
I've never conceived of it I wouldn't
00:11:34
conceive of it I have a great respect in
00:11:37
regard for women beginning with my
00:11:40
mother who brought me up that way George
00:11:43
nassa was eliminated as the Strangler I
00:11:45
don't think he had the profile of a
00:11:47
strangle George nassa used a
00:11:48
gun all right Albert I want you to
00:11:51
imagine a calendar Albert davo was the
00:11:54
state's Prime Suspect even though there
00:11:57
was no physical evidence that that
00:11:59
linked him to any of the killings the
00:12:02
salvo's attorney F Lee Bailey suggested
00:12:05
that the Salvo undergo hypnosis and we
00:12:09
had him hypnotized and age regressed
00:12:11
right through one of the homicides and
00:12:14
the things that developed in the
00:12:16
presence of a very bright medical
00:12:18
hypnotist were of great
00:12:20
interest I didn't want to hurt I had
00:12:23
a I had a h of to helper this Recreation
00:12:27
is based upon F Lee Bailey account of
00:12:30
the hypnosis session when you were
00:12:33
strangling that woman who were you
00:12:36
really trying to
00:12:38
hurt
00:12:42
Albert my mother yeah the session seemed
00:12:45
to reveal that the sael had had problems
00:12:48
with every significant woman in his life
00:12:51
we found an involvement of his wife who
00:12:53
he married in Germany his daughter who
00:12:56
had a physical disability that troubled
00:12:58
him greatly his mother for whom he had a
00:13:00
LoveHate relationship and it was just a
00:13:04
beginning I love her no Albert no you
00:13:09
don't the answers were almost implied in
00:13:13
the question which at least from my
00:13:15
training is something you don't do
00:13:18
Albert I love her tell me how you really
00:13:21
feel about her I love
00:13:24
Albert Dr Ames Roby observed the session
00:13:27
and came to a completely different
00:13:30
conclusion I was not at all convinced
00:13:33
that anything had been uncovered and was
00:13:36
a little surprised later when Mr Bailey
00:13:39
announced
00:13:41
that uh what had occurred under
00:13:45
hypnosis was definitive
00:13:48
evidence
00:13:50
Albert even with the crimes he was
00:13:53
charged with he was considered gentle
00:13:57
polite his ual proclivities his General
00:14:02
attitude uh he was not angry and hostile
00:14:06
once you were inside the apartment what
00:14:07
did you see the Massachusetts Attorney
00:14:09
General's office conducted its own
00:14:12
interrogations the transcripts of those
00:14:15
interviews were never released but
00:14:17
author Susan Kelly obtained a copy while
00:14:20
researching her book called deadly
00:14:23
shate when you read the transcript of
00:14:27
those interrogations
00:14:29
and you come to a point where Albert
00:14:30
gives an incorrect answer to a question
00:14:34
he is guided to give the correct answer
00:14:37
and Albert who was a smart guy caught on
00:14:41
very quickly I remember I took the
00:14:42
chairs out and I remember laying them
00:14:44
down in the back where did you get the
00:14:47
chairs from the dining
00:14:49
room yeah from the dining room this man
00:14:54
was not the Boston
00:14:56
Strangler he didn't kill anyone they had
00:14:59
the right guy Beyond question no one has
00:15:01
ever come up with anything meaningful to
00:15:03
contradict that the question was how
00:15:05
could we try him as the Strangler and
00:15:07
closed the file in the public mind fle
00:15:11
Bailey struck a deal with the state
00:15:13
Albert to Sala went on trial but not as
00:15:16
The Boston Strangler instead he was
00:15:19
tried for sexual assault and other
00:15:21
crimes in connection with the Greenman
00:15:24
case in return the state agreed not to
00:15:27
press for the death
00:15:29
penalty this session of that's all we
00:15:32
wanted nobody ever wanted Albert on the
00:15:34
street including Albert until asked not
00:15:36
to be executed so that he could be
00:15:38
studied seemed to me a reasonable
00:15:42
objective after less than 4 hours of
00:15:45
deliberation the jury reached its
00:15:48
verdict on all counts of breaking and
00:15:51
entering and on all counts of unnatural
00:15:54
acts the jury finds the defendant guilty
00:15:59
davvo had wanted to be sent to a mental
00:16:01
hospital but his Insanity defense failed
00:16:05
davvo was found guilty on eight criminal
00:16:08
counts he was sentenced to life in
00:16:10
prison to be in prisoned for the balance
00:16:13
of his natural life it was a much more
00:16:16
severe sentence than he would have
00:16:19
received normally on the sex charges of
00:16:22
which he'd been convicted but he was
00:16:24
being sent to prison as The Boston
00:16:25
Strangler it was that simple I think the
00:16:28
most difficult part of all of this was
00:16:31
that whether they had it solved or not
00:16:33
they had quieted the Public's concern so
00:16:38
uh theoretically everyone was happy in
00:16:41
prison dvo was reunited with his old
00:16:43
friend George Nasser once again
00:16:47
questions were raised regarding nasser's
00:16:49
possible involvement with the
00:16:51
stranglings because Al wasn't tried this
00:16:55
case had become
00:16:56
mythical it became part of like a a
00:16:59
public fantasy of what really happened
00:17:02
it became a continuing mystery when it
00:17:04
should have been
00:17:08
resolved and I was part of the
00:17:10
mystery outside of prison Albert had
00:17:13
become a legend but inside he fear his
00:17:17
Fame had made him a Marked
00:17:21
Man after more than 6 years behind bars
00:17:25
dvo asked to be transferred to a cell in
00:17:27
the prison inm
00:17:30
here he would be isolated from the other
00:17:34
inmates on the evening of November 25th
00:17:38
1973 delelo telephoned his former
00:17:41
psychiatrist Dr Ames
00:17:45
Roby hello Dr Roby yes Salvo he wanted
00:17:51
to talk to me to tell me the quote real
00:17:54
story be a good idea for you to come
00:17:56
down here tomorrow there's some things I
00:17:57
need to talk to you about oh can't we
00:17:59
just talk here on the phone no no no
00:18:01
listen I got a reporter coming down here
00:18:03
at 2:00 tomorrow I think it'd be a good
00:18:04
idea for you to come as well he didn't
00:18:06
say what the real story was and I could
00:18:10
only hope that this is what I would hear
00:18:14
but I never heard when everybody
00:18:16
assembled who was in this infirmary in
00:18:18
my office as it was possible before D
00:18:20
Salvo could talk to Dr Roby And the
00:18:22
reporter he was found in his cell
00:18:25
murdered stabbed repeatedly in the chest
00:18:29
some believe that D Salvo was involved
00:18:31
in a drug deal gone bad others including
00:18:34
George Nasser say Dal Salvo was killed
00:18:37
in a dispute over cuts of meat that he
00:18:39
was allegedly selling on the prison
00:18:41
Black
00:18:42
Market somebody didn't want that
00:18:45
interview happening and I think they
00:18:47
have said before dead men tell no
00:18:50
Tales three inmates were eventually
00:18:53
charged with Albert D salvo's murder but
00:18:56
no one was ever convicted
00:18:59
was Albert Del Salva The Boston
00:19:02
Strangler Albert D Salva was the Boston
00:19:04
Strangler we learned that at Great and
00:19:06
tragic expense to the community and then
00:19:09
wasted him away we could have learned a
00:19:11
lot from Albert we didn't I think Albert
00:19:15
became the Boston Strangler because he
00:19:17
wanted so much to be the Boston
00:19:19
Strangler it was the most important
00:19:22
thing in his life for somebody who felt
00:19:26
all his life that he was a nobody
00:19:29
all of a sudden he could become world
00:19:32
renowned shortly after his murder
00:19:35
authorities came across a collection of
00:19:37
poems that D Salvo had written while in
00:19:39
prison one of them provided an
00:19:42
intriguing footnote to the legend of the
00:19:45
Boston
00:19:46
Strangler here's the story of the
00:19:48
Strangler yet Untold the man who claims
00:19:51
he mered 13 women young and old today he
00:19:55
sits in a prison cell deep inside only a
00:19:58
secret he can tell people everywhere are
00:20:01
still in
00:20:03
doubt is the Strangler in prison or

about next this gas station video shows
00:20:13

00:20:15
missing teenager named Wendy Von huin

could it be
00:20:22
[Music]
00:20:25
her the girl in this surveillance
00:20:28
footage from a gas station is thought to
00:20:30
be a missing 16-year-old girl named
00:20:33
Wendy Von huin it is a crucial clue in
00:20:36
the baffling case of Wendy and her
00:20:38
boyfriend Jesse
00:20:42
Hull Wendy Von hubin and Jessie H longed
00:20:45
for life beyond their small town they
00:20:48
left Illinois and ran away together it
00:20:51
would turn out that this was a very bad
00:20:54
and a very dangerous
00:20:57
decision Wendy and her her family had
00:20:59
recently moved to a small farming town
00:21:01
in Illinois called Woodstock Wendy did
00:21:04
not adjust well to the move she had
00:21:07
trouble in her new school and she was
00:21:10
Restless she wanted to be old but she
00:21:13
didn't want to grow up she wanted to
00:21:14
play she was 16 going on 42 and at times
00:21:19
only eight Wendy fell in love with
00:21:22
19-year-old Jesse Hull Jesse was already
00:21:26
on his own
00:21:28
he wanted to be who he wanted to be but
00:21:30
he couldn't quite figure out who that
00:21:32
was he left the house and struck out on
00:21:35
his own he thought he could make it all
00:21:37
by himself and take care of himself by
00:21:40
yeah Bye Mom just days after Wendy
00:21:43
turned 16 she told her parents that she
00:21:45
was spending the night with her friend
00:21:49
but Wendy had other
00:21:53
plans the following day when she didn't
00:21:56
show up on the time when she was
00:21:57
supposed to we waited several hours we
00:22:00
had no calls the phone number that she
00:22:02
gave us let us know where it wasn't to
00:22:04
anyone that we knew or she knew so we
00:22:08
knew there was a problem we called and
00:22:09
follow a missing person's report man I'm
00:22:12
so glad to be out of this Wendy and
00:22:14
Jesse left Illinois with two other
00:22:17
teenagers but just a few days after
00:22:19
arriving in Florida the young couple's
00:22:21
romantic plans for a new life fell apart
00:22:25
they uh started getting on each other's
00:22:27
nerves they pulled into a truck stop and
00:22:30
Jesse and Wendy got out of the car and
00:22:33
this other teenager and his girlfriend
00:22:36
figured well this the perfect time to
00:22:37
get rid of them they got back in the car
00:22:39
and that was the last that they saw of
00:22:41
Jesse and Wendy at that time Wendy and
00:22:44
Jesse were nearly 1,500 mil from home
00:22:47
with hardly any money and no
00:22:49
Transportation but they were able to
00:22:51
disappear and the police lost their
00:22:57
Trail a month later Wendy's father was
00:23:00
at work when he received a phone call
00:23:02
from a homeless shelter in
00:23:05
Bradington hello is this William Von
00:23:08
hubin yes who's this this is John
00:23:11
O'Brien and I'm a worker at the tobler
00:23:13
shelter here and he said he worked with
00:23:15
a group that dealt with runaway kids and
00:23:19
it turned out that he had Wendy and
00:23:21
Jesse there with them here hold on Wendy
00:23:26
it's your dad come on
00:23:30
[Music]
00:23:33
him daddy she was crying said she wanted
00:23:37
to come home wend she didn't like living
00:23:39
on a
00:23:40
street I sent her down $200 at his bus
00:23:43
fair to come home I was relieved to say
00:23:45
the least I mean at least I knew that it
00:23:47
was in the process of her
00:23:50
returning Jesse
00:23:52
mom a few days later Jesse called his
00:23:55
parents from a truck stop he also said
00:23:59
that he and Wendy were on their way home
00:24:01
I know I know and when I continued to
00:24:04
press him to give me more information
00:24:06
and he suddenly said I've got to go or
00:24:08
I'll miss my ride don't worry be happy I
00:24:11
love you I'm fine and was gone and
00:24:14
that's the last we heard from
00:24:16
him Wendy and Jesse picked up the money
00:24:19
that her parents wired to them but they
00:24:21
never made it
00:24:24
home 48 hours later 80 Mi north of Dade
00:24:28
City Florida a train engineer spotted a
00:24:31
body in the bushes near the railroad
00:24:34
tracks 19-year-old Jesse how was
00:24:40
dead all of our plans for him for our
00:24:43
family for our
00:24:46
future were suddenly
00:24:49
changed and there was nothing we could
00:24:52
say or do or fix to make a turn around
00:24:54
and go back the way it was going to be
00:24:58
it was just
00:25:00
done Jesse had been killed by blunt
00:25:02
trauma to the head there was still money
00:25:05
in his pocket and a halfs smoked
00:25:07
cigarette on the
00:25:09
ground he was struck from behind had no
00:25:13
idea of of what was happening there was
00:25:15
no struggle at the scene that paired
00:25:18
with the fact that there was a clear
00:25:20
path showing that his body was dragged
00:25:21
through the Tall Grass clearly indicates
00:25:24
to me that this is a
00:25:26
homicide the crime lab was able to
00:25:29
locate a drop of blood on the cuff of
00:25:31
his jacket that uh was not Jess's there
00:25:34
are indicators that this could be
00:25:36
Wendy's
00:25:37
blood land and air searches for Wendy
00:25:40
turned up nothing she had disappeared
00:25:44
Without a Trace everything's left to
00:25:46
your imagination at this point you don't
00:25:48
have no idea what's going on completely
00:25:50
out of control they were always together
00:25:53
so she had to be there she was there she
00:25:55
was close by she knew what happened
00:26:04
no more than 2 months passed then the
00:26:08
phone rang at the home of Wendy's
00:26:10
parents hello and they said it was a
00:26:13
collect call will you accept the charges
00:26:15
and then I asked her to identify
00:26:17
herself Mom it's me it's me and a crying
00:26:22
voice she said it's me
00:26:25
Wendy and then she hung up
00:26:29
[Music]
00:26:32
Laura went next door to call the police
00:26:35
at 8:00 the vanban phone rang again
00:26:39
hello hi Dad Wendy is that you the girl
00:26:43
said she was calling from Kaki Illinois
00:26:46
the town where Wendy and her family had
00:26:48
lived until 18 months earlier so where
00:26:51
in ki she said she didn't know she says
00:26:54
where are you calling from she said
00:26:55
Philip 66 station I said is there a
00:26:58
number on the phone she said no there's
00:27:00
no
00:27:01
number everything was yes or no or
00:27:04
single word answers listen I got to go
00:27:07
bye the conversation was so short
00:27:09
William could not be sure if the girl on
00:27:11
the phone was actually
00:27:13
Wendy you hope against hope but then
00:27:17
again you want proof is this it and I
00:27:20
couldn't you know uh identify her voice
00:27:23
I went down to K key and uh based on the
00:27:27
caller to the vine euben saying that
00:27:29
there wasn't a phone number on a pay
00:27:30
phone I checked all the payones at the
00:27:33
Philips 66 stations one pay phone on
00:27:37
Indiana Street did not have the phone
00:27:39
number posted in the normal space uh I
00:27:43
assumed then that maybe this was the
00:27:44
phone that the call was made from and
00:27:47
obtained a surveillance tape from that
00:27:49
gas
00:27:50
station this is that surveillance tape
00:27:54
it shows a teenage girl matching Wendy's
00:27:56
description
00:27:58
police estimate the video was recorded
00:28:01
within minutes of the call to Leon
00:28:03
hubans when I saw the video I cried and
00:28:06
I said that's it that's her she's put on
00:28:09
weight but that's her that's her body
00:28:10
language she she does her hair that way
00:28:13
she puts her hands in her Pockets like
00:28:15
that that's her attitude that's the way
00:28:17
she walks I was positive that that was
00:28:20
my
00:28:22
kid but then another complication police
00:28:26
appear of phone records and when they
00:28:28
later traced the call they discovered it
00:28:30
was made from a different gas station
00:28:32
just 2 m
00:28:34
away at that station there was a flyer
00:28:37
posted with the V yubin's home phone
00:28:41
number hopefully it was Oney that made
00:28:44
the phone call but if it wasn't it was
00:28:46
somebody that saw the phone number on
00:28:48
that flyer and possibly was making a
00:28:50
very very cruel joke to him I'll go
00:28:53
anywhere it takes to get her heling back
00:28:56
I don't care where she's at I'll go
00:28:57
there and I'll get her and I'll bring
00:28:59
her home all she has to do is just say
00:29:01
I'm here and come get me I don't care
00:29:05
where she is I'll
00:29:07
come
00:29:09
update sadly a man known as the railroad
00:29:13
killer has confessed to murdering Wendy
00:29:16
Van hubin and Jesse
00:29:18
H the Killer Angel rendes claims they
00:29:23
decided to catch a ride with him on a
00:29:24
freight train and then look for work
00:29:27
picking oranges
00:29:29
when the train stopped at a switching
00:29:30
station Jesse got off and that's when
00:29:33
rendis hit him in the head and killed
00:29:37
him 8 hours later rendis ordered Wendy
00:29:40
off the
00:29:41
train he strangled her wrapped her in a
00:29:44
blanket and covered the body with
00:29:47
leaves when he confessed rendes was
00:29:50
already on death row in Texas for
00:29:53
killing a Houston doctor he received
00:29:56
immunity in exchange for for leading
00:29:58
police to Wendy's
00:30:00
body authorities believe rendes was
00:30:03
responsible for at least 15
00:30:07
murders he was executed in Texas in June
00:30:10
of
00:30:12
[Music]
00:30:16
2006 next strange lights are seen in the
00:30:20
night sky could they be
00:30:22
UFOs or a secret aircraft developed by
00:30:26
our military
00:30:37
this video was shot by a camera crew
00:30:39
hired by Aviation Week Magazine
00:30:42
eyewitnesses say it shows a Pencil Thin
00:30:45
aircraft trailing balls of golden
00:30:48
light in this footage a conventional
00:30:51
airplane seen here is being filmed when
00:30:55
a mysterious object suddenly appears
00:30:58
the object travels at a high rate of
00:31:00
speed and Exhibits pinpoint
00:31:04
maneuverability in this haunting image
00:31:07
several eyewitnesses observe an unusual
00:31:10
light source possibly an aircraft
00:31:12
hovering over the Nevada
00:31:15
desert and here an unknown wedge-shaped
00:31:18
object which makes no noise flies over
00:31:21
Roswell New Mexico the footage was shot
00:31:25
by a man named Steven Douglas of amaril
00:31:29
Texas people have been siding and
00:31:31
witnessing aircraft that can do
00:31:34
fantastic amazing things I mean highp
00:31:36
speeed stop on a dime turn like a ballet
00:31:41
dancer Douglas believes that the
00:31:44
mysterious lights are in fact
00:31:46
experimental military jets he thinks
00:31:49
they're being kept under WS just as the
00:31:52
legendary stealth fighter was for nearly
00:31:54
a
00:31:56
decade recently there has been
00:31:58
speculation about a new spy plane said
00:32:01
to travel at speeds exceeding Mach
00:32:05
6 Douglas obtained what he believes is
00:32:08
evidence that the plane may actually
00:32:13
exist it was probably about 11:00
00:32:16
a.m. and the house began to
00:32:20
Rattle uh let me call you back this
00:32:22
house just really shook so I went
00:32:25
outside and there was this aircra flying
00:32:29
by over the house incredibly fast I've
00:32:31
seen a lot of aircraft crisscross
00:32:33
disguise around here but this thing I
00:32:34
couldn't believe how fast it was moving
00:32:37
and behind it it left a contrail that
00:32:39
would was unique what they call a Donuts
00:32:42
on a rope
00:32:44
contrail Steven Douglas took this
00:32:46
photograph of the contrail some Aviation
00:32:50
researchers believe that it might have
00:32:52
been made by experimental technology
00:32:54
allegedly used in the spy plane the Air
00:32:58
Force said they could not identify the
00:33:00
source of the contrail in the
00:33:05
photograph Douglas had another unusual
00:33:08
sighting a year later he was videotaping
00:33:11
military airplanes that were
00:33:13
participating in mock War Games shortly
00:33:16
after a group of B1 bombers took off an
00:33:19
unidentified aircraft entered the area
00:33:22
but Douglas only had 10 seconds left on
00:33:26
his camera battery my battery just
00:33:28
that is this aircraft made no sound at
00:33:32
all it was just super quiet it looked
00:33:35
like like a flying triangle and
00:33:39
immediately I know it must have been
00:33:41
tr3a Black
00:33:44
Manta the Black Manta is another of the
00:33:47
top secret aircraft supposedly developed
00:33:50
by the military it is thought to be a
00:33:53
reconnaissance plane that operates in
00:33:55
tandem with the stealth fighter
00:33:58
but in a statement issued to Unsolved
00:34:00
Mysteries the Air Force said of the
00:34:02
Manta quote it has no basis in reality
00:34:06
when the Air Force analyzed Douglas's
00:34:08
footage they believe the aircraft might
00:34:10
be a Navy e6b Prowler however the Navy
00:34:15
could not identify the plane citing the
00:34:18
poor quality of the
00:34:21
videotape a computer enhancement appears
00:34:24
to show a triangular shape WB Edge
00:34:28
Douglas claims the object was virtually
00:34:31
silent and moved slower than any
00:34:33
conventional military
00:34:36
aircraft these aircraft are doing things
00:34:39
which a lot of physicists have generally
00:34:41
said are not possible you know Maneuvers
00:34:44
their the way they fly how fast they are
00:34:46
and the real mystery is is how they made
00:34:49
the leap there are some that speculate
00:34:51
that maybe this technology was gleaned
00:34:54
from alien technology that somehow
00:34:57
either we have recovered or has been
00:35:01
here for a
00:35:02
while the Pentagon has never confirmed
00:35:05
the existence or recovery of alien
00:35:08
spacecraft however since this story
00:35:10
aired the Air Force has publicly
00:35:13
admitted that there is a plane called
00:35:15
the
00:35:16
Manta first a stealth now the Manta what
00:35:20
other top secret aircraft might invade
