Unsolved Mysteries with Dennis Farina - Season 8, Episode 9

March 09, 2017 / 42:23

This episode of Unsolved Mysteries covers five intriguing cases: the disappearance and murder of two Catholic priests, a college student's descent into crime, a kidnapped baby, and the practice of chi gong healing.

In Santa Fe, New Mexico, Father Ronaldo Rivera was murdered after responding to a call for last rites. His body was discovered three days later, and police suspect a serial killer may be involved. The investigation revealed similarities to the case of another missing priest, Father John Carrigan, who vanished in Montana.

The episode also highlights Jeffrey Harding's search for his brother, kidnapped as a baby in 1944 Chicago. Harding's mother lost her son to two teenage girls, and despite an FBI investigation, the case remains unsolved.

In a separate case, a bank robbery in Brighton, Massachusetts, led to the death of police officer Walter Schroeder. The robbery was executed by a group of college students, including Katherine Power and Susan Sachs, who were involved in radical anti-war movements.

Lastly, the episode features Dr. Honglu, a chi gong master who claims to heal patients by tapping into their energy. Several individuals share their experiences, including Salem Babic, who saw significant improvement in his health after treatment.

TL;DR

Five unsolved mysteries include murdered priests, a kidnapped baby, and chi gong healing.

Mexico St Francis Cathedral father jard
00:01:36
speaking on a summer evening A call came
00:01:38
into the rectory of the St Francis
00:01:41
Cathedral the caller needed someone to
00:01:43
administer last rights I cannot drive at
00:01:46
night Father Patrick Gerard was unable
00:01:49
to leave he asked a caller to telephone
00:01:51
again in 15 minutes when another priest
00:01:54
would be on duty thank you very much and
00:01:57
God bless you
00:02:00
exactly 15 minutes later the telephone
00:02:02
rang again this time father Ronaldo
00:02:06
Rivera took the call this is Father
00:02:09
Ronaldo hello father I need the help of
00:02:12
a priest my grandfather is dying I'm
00:02:15
sorry the caller insisted that a priest
00:02:17
come immediately Santa are you familiar
00:02:20
with the rest stop just south of Santa
00:02:22
Fe yes yes I am I'll see you there the
00:02:24
man said that his name was Michael
00:02:26
Carmelo and that he was calling from a
00:02:28
rest stop near Waldo New Mexico 20 M
00:02:32
away goodbye
00:02:36
father father Riva left that evening to
00:02:39
meet someone at the rest area in Santa
00:02:42
Fe this was on a Thursday evening he was
00:02:45
reported missing Thursday night didn't
00:02:47
show up Friday there was a broadcast
00:02:49
made that father Rivera was
00:02:51
missing obviously we had a location at
00:02:54
least we knew it was Waldo somewhere in
00:02:56
that area cuz the priest remembered
00:02:58
Waldo New Mexico
00:03:02
3 days after he vanished father Rivera's
00:03:05
body was found on a deserted Road 3
00:03:08
miles from the rest
00:03:13
stop from Saturday until his burial the
00:03:16
city was just awe stricken whether you
00:03:20
were Lutheran Catholic Protestant Jew we
00:03:24
were just all one at that
00:03:26
time the very fact that he went out
00:03:28
there on this call was an act of Charity
00:03:31
an act of love I think because he showed
00:03:34
this love for people the people just
00:03:37
responded and so when he died I think
00:03:39
there was that uh sadness in their heart
00:03:41
for somebody that they
00:03:43
loved everybody loved father and enough
00:03:47
I'm sure he's happy where he is now and
00:03:52
we miss
00:03:54
him Catholic priests vowed to become
00:03:56
Servants of God and Servants of their
00:03:59
Community their door is always open but
00:04:03
as was the case in New Mexico that very
00:04:06
openness can also be exploited
00:04:09
especially by someone with diabolical
00:04:13
intentions the night of the murder the
00:04:15
man who summoned father Rivera was
00:04:17
waiting for him at the rest stop in a
00:04:19
blue pickup
00:04:22
truck the killers were probably there
00:04:25
waiting for him when he arrived at the
00:04:27
rest area they signal him out
00:04:30
father yes are you the priest sent yes I
00:04:33
am a father R why don't you come with
00:04:35
there's no way one individual could have
00:04:38
handled father Rivera he would have gave
00:04:40
them a hard
00:04:41
time so there had to be at least two
00:04:44
people involved and we know they had a
00:04:46
gun obviously cuz he was shot so I'm
00:04:49
sure they controlled him with that
00:04:50
weapon but there had to be two people
00:04:53
involved to subdue him cuz he was a very
00:04:56
strong
00:04:57
individual lieutenant ulber believes
00:05:00
that the killers took father Rivera to a
00:05:02
remote desert area let's go go outside
00:05:06
move come on move come on move it move
00:05:11
move right
00:05:14
there he was not killed where he was
00:05:17
found they drove to a location threw him
00:05:20
on the ground and they
00:05:21
left they could have hid him anywhere in
00:05:24
that Walo and there's several places in
00:05:26
Waldo where you can kind up hide a body
00:05:29
and you never find it so obviously they
00:05:32
wanted him to be
00:05:34
found after the crime The Killers
00:05:37
returned to the rest stop to remove
00:05:39
father Rivera's
00:05:42
car his vehicle was found in a rest area
00:05:44
just east of Grant New Mexico which is
00:05:46
about 2 hours from Santa Fe there was no
00:05:49
physical evidence found in the vehicle
00:05:51
we didn't find any fingerprints there
00:05:53
was no blood stains nothing to indicate
00:05:56
that someone had even driven the car it
00:05:59
had been wipe
00:05:59
[Music]
00:06:01
clean the Santa Fe police had few Clues
00:06:04
and after a nationwide check they found
00:06:07
no suspects named Michael
00:06:10
Carmelo as far as motive wild Rivera was
00:06:14
not the target a Catholic priest was a
00:06:16
target for whatever reason robbery was
00:06:20
not a motive because there was nothing
00:06:22
taken from the priest other than his
00:06:24
last rights kit and that's a possibility
00:06:28
for a souvenir
00:06:31
apparently the killer would like to
00:06:32
relive the experience every time he
00:06:34
looks at it he remembers killing a
00:06:39
priest 2 years later another priest
00:06:42
mysteriously vanished this time in Ronan
00:06:48
Montana at 11:00 p.m. on the night that
00:06:50
he disappeared Father John carrian went
00:06:53
to a bakery across the street from the
00:06:55
church to chat with his
00:06:57
parishioners talking about after a few
00:07:00
minutes he said that he was returning
00:07:02
home to go to bed but he was never seen
00:07:08
again the next day at a highway turnout
00:07:11
a passer by discovered a pile of bloody
00:07:15
clothes and there's blood all over the
00:07:18
shirt after we realized that they were
00:07:21
father carigans we did a search of that
00:07:25
area a bloody coat hanger was found
00:07:28
close to the clothing we concluded that
00:07:31
the coat hanger could have been used to
00:07:33
either tie someone up could have been
00:07:36
used to strangle someone but it
00:07:39
definitely is connected to the clothing
00:07:43
and it wasn't just a hanger laning there
00:07:45
it had been deformed and definitely used
00:07:47
for some
00:07:48
purpose a week later father carrigan's
00:07:51
car was found 5 miles from the area
00:07:54
where his clothes had been
00:07:57
discovered we know that car sat there
00:08:00
for approximately a week before it came
00:08:02
to our attention we did a thorough
00:08:05
search of that area and we found the
00:08:08
keys lying in Tall
00:08:14
Grass there was blood on the front seat
00:08:17
in the right door panel on the right
00:08:20
floorboard we found a shovel in the
00:08:22
trunk with blood on it we found a pillow
00:08:24
in the trunk with blood on it police
00:08:26
also found father carrigan's wallet
00:08:29
which contained more than $1,000 in cash
00:08:33
the money was not hidden it was just
00:08:35
normally as it would have been kept in a
00:08:37
wallet and none of that was Disturbed so
00:08:40
we don't feel that robbery was a motive
00:08:43
for this particular
00:08:46
crime when Lieutenant ulib learned of
00:08:48
Father krien's disappearance he flew to
00:08:51
Ronan to investigate the similarities
00:08:53
between the two
00:08:55
cases right here in this area stacked up
00:08:58
weed in both cases the killer wanted
00:09:00
people to know I killed a
00:09:03
priest and here's the evidence to show I
00:09:06
killed him I still strongly believe that
00:09:09
uh whoever killed father Rivera was
00:09:12
involved with Fara
00:09:15
krian there are other similarities both
00:09:19
victim's cars were driven away from the
00:09:21
crime scene and both were wiped clean of
00:09:23
all fingerprints and
00:09:26
evidence a metal coat hanger was found
00:09:28
near the caragan clothes and there's
00:09:31
evidence of a coat hanger used in Father
00:09:34
Rivera's murder in both cases robbery
00:09:37
was not a motive and both priests
00:09:39
belonged to the order of
00:09:43
franciscans if there's other law
00:09:45
enforcement agencies have had a Catholic
00:09:47
priest killed with some of the
00:09:49
similarities we have just discussed here
00:09:51
we'd like to hear from them and a
00:09:53
possibility we have a serial killer
00:09:55
going killing Catholic priests
00:09:59
next a man search for his brother who
00:10:02
was kidnapped as a baby and never seen
00:10:06
[Music]
00:10:15
again Chicago Illinois
00:10:20
1953 Jeffrey Harding's mother showed him
00:10:22
some scrapbooks stored in the Attic she
00:10:25
explained that he has a brother who was
00:10:28
kidnapped before before Jeffrey was
00:10:31
born I just didn't know what to do I
00:10:34
felt so empty inside and I felt so so
00:10:37
sad for my parents I could just look in
00:10:39
my mother's eyes and see the pain the
00:10:41
two girls came and they took them and
00:10:44
they
00:10:45
ran will I ever see him
00:10:47
[Music]
00:10:51
again and I I also wanted to know what
00:10:53
it was like to have a brother and I
00:10:55
always felt cheated that I couldn't
00:10:56
communicate with him I couldn't play
00:10:58
with him I couldn't wrestle with him
00:10:59
couldn't go to a ball game with them I
00:11:00
couldn't do anything like everybody else
00:11:02
did with their own brother and
00:11:04
sister this is the article FBI reported
00:11:08
in search for kidnapped baby jeffy's
00:11:11
mother brought out a baby book and read
00:11:12
in clippings that she had saved about
00:11:15
the events of June 30th
00:11:21
1944 that morning she put 10-week old
00:11:24
Lawrence Jr in his carriage and made her
00:11:27
usual trip to the Conor Market
00:11:31
and while she was in the store there
00:11:32
were two girls there that teenage girls
00:11:35
that didn't look like they were up to
00:11:36
anything
00:11:37
bad o what a
00:11:42
do you really have a cute baby oh thank
00:11:46
you it's my
00:11:49
first as my mother was coming home from
00:11:52
the market the two girls were following
00:11:54
her but she didn't think a whole lot of
00:11:56
it she just thought that the two girls
00:11:57
were walking down the street as she was
00:11:58
going home
00:12:00
home and when she pulled into the yard
00:12:02
with the baby carriage she saw a
00:12:04
neighbor uh who lived
00:12:07
upstairs can you mind little Lawrence
00:12:09

00:12:16
watching my brother didn't um keep an
00:12:19
eye on him long enough uh she watched
00:12:21
him for a little while and then she kind
00:12:22
of turned
00:12:27

morg
00:12:34

00:12:39

00:12:41
running as fast as she could got to the
00:12:43
alley and could could run after the
00:12:46
girls could give Chase to the girls the
00:12:47
girls were gone
00:12:53
[Applause]
00:12:53
[Music]
00:12:57
Lawrence hello after three agonizing
00:13:00
days the Hardings received the phone
00:13:03
call we have your baby you have the
00:13:07
baby the girl on the other end of the
00:13:09
line identified herself as one of the
00:13:11
people that took the baby and the girl
00:13:13
said we're going to bring the baby to
00:13:15
you and my mother said when will you
00:13:18
please bring him home and as she was
00:13:20
waiting for an answer the girl hung up
00:13:22
on her
00:13:26
when she was never asked for r Ransom
00:13:30
and that was the last contact my mother
00:13:32
had with the
00:13:33
kidnappers where was the the FBI and the
00:13:36
Chicago Police searched for Lawrence Jr
00:13:38
but after 4 weeks the investigation was
00:13:41
called
00:13:42
off the 10-week old infant was
00:13:48
gone when my mother told me what had
00:13:50
happened and I think it was then that a
00:13:52
seed was kind of planted inside of me
00:13:54
that because I love my parents I wanted
00:13:56
to make this right for them
00:13:59
thanks to the Freedom of Information Act
00:14:01
Jeffrey was able to get the original FBI
00:14:04
file on his brother's case he and
00:14:07
private investigator Paul rsby learned
00:14:10
that the FBI interviewed two railroad
00:14:12
Porters who had an interesting story to
00:14:20
tell July 4th
00:14:22
1944 Chicago's main train station 4 days
00:14:27
after the kidnapping
00:14:29
the FBI file from Washington that we
00:14:32
were able to get a copy of indicated one
00:14:35
of the teenage girls showed up at the
00:14:36
train station with a baby meeting the
00:14:39
description of
00:14:41
Lawrence excuse me ma'am are you going
00:14:43
to St Louis yes I am would you mind
00:14:46
holding my baby for a moment I don't
00:14:48
know I just have to run to the washroom
00:14:50
and there's really nowhere for me to put
00:14:51
him down in there well I've got to get
00:14:53
that train so you you hurry up now I
00:14:56
don't want to be a SP de okay I'll be
00:14:58
back in just a moment
00:15:04
more than likely the woman was on the
00:15:06
platform with the baby the train is
00:15:08
fixing to pull off and she's not sure if
00:15:11
the teenage girl is on the train or not
00:15:13
on the
00:15:14
[Music]
00:15:15
train and realized that it was her time
00:15:18
to get on the train and was believing
00:15:19
the teenage girl when she had told her
00:15:21
not to
00:15:23
worry and more than likely she got on
00:15:26
the train with the child waiting for the
00:15:28
teenage girl to find
00:15:31
her however after the train took off it
00:15:34
became obvious that the teenage girl
00:15:36
didn't make the
00:15:38
[Music]
00:15:39
train track three arriving from Chicago
00:15:43
when the older woman with the baby
00:15:45
arrived at Union Station in St Louis she
00:15:48
approached two
00:15:49
Porters uh George Hill and a Charlie
00:15:52
McCall and explained to them how she
00:15:54
came by the baby can you help me yes
00:15:57
ma'am have you seen anybody around here
00:15:59
looking for a child no ma'am what was
00:16:01
she wearing you got to get she also told
00:16:03
him that she was going to Magnolia
00:16:05
Arkansas but told them that if that
00:16:07
mother decided she wanted the child
00:16:09
she'd be in Magnolia she could find her
00:16:12
there I got nine children of my own I
00:16:15
know one more won't hurt me well I'll
00:16:18
keep an eye for him ma'am thank you yes
00:16:23
ma'am hi hi my name is Paul rby I'm an
00:16:26
investig Paul traveled to Magnolia to
00:16:28
conduct interviews and searched the
00:16:30
town's records but turned up no trace of
00:16:33
the woman or her
00:16:35
family people that then Paul theorized
00:16:38
and I do believe this is true that more
00:16:40
than likely because it was July 4th
00:16:42
weekend that this lady returned from
00:16:44
Magnolia Arkansas either to Chicago or
00:16:46
maybe even to Detroit and that may be
00:16:48
where my brother is
00:16:50
today the woman at the train station
00:16:53
probably thought that the girl didn't
00:16:55
want this child I believe that this
00:16:57
woman was a Good
00:17:00
Samaritan uh she took care of the child
00:17:03
she did everything she could uh to let
00:17:06
the porters know where she was going and
00:17:09
uh in in no way shape or form did she
00:17:12
have anything to do with the
00:17:14
abduction Jeffrey has vowed not to give
00:17:17
up until he finds his brother who is
00:17:19
probably unaware of his unusual past if
00:17:24
there's anything that I dream about as
00:17:27
being the happy ending it would be
00:17:29
finding my brother finding out that he
00:17:31
was raised in a loving
00:17:33
environment finding out that um he would
00:17:36
be willing to accept me and accept my
00:17:39
family and that we could spend our lives
00:17:41
together as
00:17:43
friends today jeffy's brother would be
00:17:46
in his 60s however he would not know his
00:17:49
real birth name or birth date Jeffrey
00:17:52
hopes that his brother or one of his

00:22:37
as the robbers ran out of the bank the
00:22:39
plan started to unravel gild began
00:22:48
shooting when we arrived at the bank I
00:22:51
heard six or eight shots but uh didn't
00:22:54
know where they were coming
00:22:56
from evidently w didn't realize where
00:22:59
they were coming from because he ran
00:23:00
right toward this
00:23:02
man and uh he finally realized where
00:23:04
they were coming from and he tried to
00:23:06
turn around and run get around the
00:23:08
corner of the bank but he didn't quite
00:23:10
make
00:23:14
it I realized Walter was hurt when I saw
00:23:18
him
00:23:20
fall I was hoping that he had just
00:23:22
tripped but deep down I knew that he was
00:23:25
hit
00:23:29
the robbery had Ned $26,000 in cash Bond
00:23:32
distributed $500 in spending money to
00:23:36
each member of the gang and held on to
00:23:38
the rest let's get out of
00:23:41
here within 8 hours the five robbers had
00:23:44
all gone their separate ways officer
00:23:46
Schroeder was in the hospital fighting
00:23:49
for his life his partner kept a silent
00:23:52
visual throughout the
00:23:56
night he was shot in the back through
00:23:59
the aort the main artery to the
00:24:02
heart I guess waler died around 10:00 in
00:24:05
the morning and uh it really uh hit me
00:24:09
like a ton of bricks I mean I he was a
00:24:11
real uh I was real close with wall he
00:24:14
was a real friend the effect of his
00:24:16
death was
00:24:18
devastating um as time has passed we've
00:24:21
learned to adjust to it but I think that
00:24:25
it's created a void that has never been
00:24:29
filled and and really can't be
00:24:31
filled within 24 hours the Boston Police
00:24:35
Department picked up Robert
00:24:39
Valeri 5 days later Stanley Bond was
00:24:42
arrested in Grand Junction
00:24:44
Colorado the day after that gild was
00:24:47
apprehended in Worster Massachusetts
00:24:50
after a high-speed
00:24:53
chase gild was given two life sentences
00:24:56
for the murder of officer schroer Valeri
00:24:59
spent 5 years in jail and was
00:25:02
released Stanley Bond accidentally
00:25:04
killed himself with a makeshift bomb
00:25:07
that he had built for an escape
00:25:09
attempt Susan saxs was arrested 5 years
00:25:13
after the murder she spent 7 years in
00:25:16
prison and was released in
00:25:19
1982 but one gang member eluded capture
00:25:23
Catherine power a surveillance camera
00:25:26
caught a glimpse of her several years
00:25:28
after the murder as she opened up a bank
00:25:31
account in Louisville Kentucky it was
00:25:33
the last reported sighting of
00:25:36
power we have to be realistic the times
00:25:39
have
00:25:39
changed and I think if Kathy were to
00:25:42
turn herself in or to be
00:25:44
apprehended she could be tried she would
00:25:47
be found guilty but I think a lot of
00:25:49
things would have to be taken into
00:25:50
consideration at the time of her
00:25:52
sentencing you know we all function as a
00:25:54
single unit as a society and that there
00:25:57
are lines of behavior that are
00:25:58
acceptable and there are lines you know
00:26:00
once you step over that line it's not
00:26:01
acceptable her behavior as with the
00:26:04
other people involved is unacceptable
00:26:07
and you have to be called to task on
00:26:09
that you have to take responsibility for
00:26:11
what you do whether it's something that
00:26:13
happened yesterday last year what 20

heal the
00:27:05
[Music]
00:27:10
sick Canton Province Southern
00:27:13
China in the 1970s a young doctor from
00:27:17
Shanghai named honglu climbed to a cave
00:27:20
hidden high in the mountains Lou had
00:27:23
grown up in a family of doctors schooled
00:27:26
in traditional Western medicine
00:27:28
but he suspected there was more to
00:27:31
Healing than just
00:27:34
science the cave was home to a revered
00:27:36
healer named Quan a man who reportedly
00:27:40
could diagnose illness with a single
00:27:42
glance he could perform cures without
00:27:45
even touching the
00:27:47
patient for 8 years honglu studied the
00:27:51
ancient art of chiong designed to tap
00:27:54
the energy of the universe to find
00:27:56
Enlightenment and heal the
00:28:00
sick today Dr honglu is one of only 12
00:28:04
chiong High Masters in the world he
00:28:07
lives in Southern California and is the
00:28:10
only one of those Masters practicing in
00:28:13
the United
00:28:14
States Chong is not a miracle
00:28:19
cure Chong can improve
00:28:23
health Chong can cure some illnesses but
00:28:27
it cannot cure for every
00:28:30
illness Salem babic was in the final
00:28:33
stages of AIDS when he made his first
00:28:36
visit to master Lou accompanied by his
00:28:38
mother Salem was already partially
00:28:42
paralyzed I really wanted and hoped that
00:28:45
there was somebody out there that had a
00:28:46
magic wand that was going to wave it
00:28:48
over me and say oh you're cured you have
00:28:50
your full use of your left side back
00:28:53
that's that's a kind of you know that's
00:28:54
where I was coming from at the time
00:28:58
Salem was also losing his vision and had
00:29:01
recently been diagnosed with PML a brain
00:29:05
virus certain to end his life I remember
00:29:08
asking my physician maybe a month or so
00:29:11
after I was diagnosed do you have any
00:29:13
other PML patients he says yes and I
00:29:15
said how are they they said they're all
00:29:17
dead Master Lou claims that he can
00:29:20
simply look at his patients and see
00:29:22
where their Chi energy flow is blocked
00:29:25
and then he uses his own Chi to help
00:29:28
clear the
00:29:30
path the session had just begun when
00:29:33
Master Lou's Apprentice removed Salem's
00:29:35
Lake brace and then Master Lou told
00:29:38
Salem to
00:29:44
rise okay don't
00:29:48
worry
00:29:50
okay don't worry don't worry close eyes
00:29:54
I was amazed I couldn't believe that I
00:29:57
was standing without the aid of
00:29:59
anything it felt like something was
00:30:01
coming into my body from afar from
00:30:04
behind me when Master Lou was working on
00:30:06
me it felt like something something was
00:30:08
penetrating my skin and as a result
00:30:11
making me stand upright every time I
00:30:13
felt myself leaning this way or leaning
00:30:15
that way or falling he would just push
00:30:17
his energy into my body and that would
00:30:19
make me stand ight
00:30:21
again from that day on weekly sessions
00:30:24
with Master Lou were a regular part of
00:30:27
Salem's therapy
00:30:29
y the good part is that he is also using
00:30:32
Western
00:30:33
[Music]
00:30:35
medicine so that's why I think if I use
00:30:39
chigong with Western medicine and they
00:30:42
work together what will
00:30:45
happen the effect has been
00:30:48
positive in addition to Chiang Salem
00:30:51
began a new regimen of age
00:30:55
drugs to Salem the result of the
00:30:58
combined therapies was nothing short of
00:31:00
a Miracle Within 6 months he had
00:31:03
regained 80% of the mobility on his left
00:31:06
side and could walk without a crutch or
00:31:08
a
00:31:10
brace I was quite surprised to see Salem
00:31:13
recover in the way that he did in my
00:31:16
experience patients with AIDS and
00:31:18
PML uh do not uh improve they
00:31:23
deteriorate I cannot say Master Luke
00:31:25
cured me but he definitely brought
00:31:27
brought me to the road of recovery if
00:31:31
you can imagine coming from the point of
00:31:33
being diagnosed as somebody who's just
00:31:35
as good as dead to where I am now I mean
00:31:38
it's just I'm elated I'm totally
00:31:41
elated how it works I don't know I don't
00:31:44
know but I honestly feel it worked for
00:31:48
me and it can work for
00:31:51
others Randy Hebert says that he was
00:31:54
diagnosed with prostate cancer three
00:31:57
doctors told him that he should have
00:31:59
surgery instead he tried chiong Master
00:32:03
louu put Randy on a macrobiotic diet
00:32:06
taught him exercises to do at home and
00:32:09
gave him treatments three times a
00:32:12
week I know that other people he has
00:32:14
worked on uh they they've gotten into
00:32:17
trans-like States uh I never did but I
00:32:21
did feel something going through me
00:32:24
something almost like heat
00:32:29
after seeing Master Lou for 3 months
00:32:31
Randy had a biopsy yes your biopsy
00:32:34
results are negative there's no sign of
00:32:36
cancer that's great ry's cancer
00:32:40
eventually returned and he had to have
00:32:43
surgery but he still believes that there
00:32:45
are benefits from the practice of chiong
00:32:48
even if the medical community remains
00:32:51
skeptical despite 4,000 years of History
00:32:54
I think that Chiang and other uh forms
00:32:57
of alternative therapies really need to
00:32:59
be held up to the same uh light and
00:33:03
burden of proof burden of evidence that
00:33:05
traditional medicine is held up
00:33:10
to modern medicine solves many
00:33:14
problems but it has some areas that need
00:33:17
[Music]
00:33:19
Improvement chiong generally speaking is
00:33:22
a good
00:33:24
supplement that's why I recommend
00:33:26
Western medicine combined with our
00:33:29
method this is more guaranteed for the
00:33:34
patient officially the American Medical
00:33:37
Association has no opinion on the
00:33:39
practice of chiong or if it's a
00:33:42
legitimate healing technique but to
00:33:44
those who have experienced its benefits
00:33:46
chiong remains a useful tool in the
00:33:49
fight against
00:33:52
illness coming up a generous gift helps
00:33:55
a man launch his dream restaurant
00:33:58
decades later he's searching for his
00:34:00
long lost

[Music]
00:34:10
benefactor on a previous broadcast we
00:34:13
brought you the case of 22-year-old
00:34:15
Matthew Chase of Los Angeles Matthew
00:34:18
disappeared after making a withdrawal
00:34:20
from an ATM machine the bank camera took
00:34:24
these photographs of a mysterious man
00:34:26
standing next to to him the person
00:34:29
standing next to Matt was somewhat
00:34:31
shorter somewhat
00:34:32
stockier and overall he shouldn't have
00:34:35
been in the photograph no one is going
00:34:37
to let someone stand that close to him
00:34:40
while they're using an ATM machine where
00:34:41
they can see the pin
00:34:44
number police believe that Matthew was
00:34:46
abducted in a robbery attempt and that
00:34:48
the mysterious man was his
00:34:52
kidnapper today I sense that he's still
00:34:55
alive and that has
00:34:58
kept us going and we'll never stop
00:35:00
looking for him until we find him and I
00:35:02
know we'll find
00:35:04
him Matthew's friends and family campus
00:35:07
Los Angeles searching for him but turned
00:35:09
up
00:35:12
nothing Los Angeles can be a dangerous
00:35:15
place at night we saw a lot of things
00:35:17
that were very frightening I think and
00:35:20
that only made it more real to us that
00:35:24
that something perhaps very
00:35:28
serious had happened to
00:35:31
Matt
00:35:33
Update 9 months after he vanished
00:35:36
remains were found in a ravine in nearby
00:35:39
Pasadena they were positively identified
00:35:42
as Matthew Chase the cause of death was
00:35:45
a gunshot
00:35:47
wound this case is being handled as a
00:35:50

00:35:52

00:36:23
it may have belonged to the killer I do
00:36:26
hope to find
00:36:28
his killer and I think that we need to
00:36:30
see this through and we will see it
00:36:32
through and this person must be brought
00:36:35
to
00:36:40

00:36:43
