00:01:29
albuquerque new mexico
00:01:32
10 45 p.m
00:01:35
eighteen-year-old caitlin arquette has
00:01:37
just finished dinner with a girlfriend
00:01:40
she told us she'd had a big fight with
00:01:42
her boyfriend she was breaking up with
00:01:44
him
00:01:45
and she was going to a girlfriend's
00:01:46
house for dinner
00:01:48
and she would either spend the night
00:01:49
there or come back and spend it at our
00:01:51
house
00:01:52
she was not going to go back to the
00:01:54
apartment
00:02:12
a little bit before midnight the phone
00:02:13
rang it was phone call from the
00:02:15
emergency room of the hospital
00:02:18
they said kate is there
00:02:20
that she's been injured and i said
00:02:22
what's happened and they said we can't
00:02:23
tell you on the phone
00:02:25
so my husband and i drove to the
00:02:27
hospital
00:02:28
and kate had been shot twice in the head
00:02:30
she was in a coma
00:02:34
five hours later police arrive at kate's
00:02:36
apartment
00:02:37
her live-in boyfriend is home alone
00:02:39
seemingly unaware that his girlfriend
00:02:42
has been shot and is close to death with
00:02:44
the albuquerque police department just
00:02:46
like come in talk to you a minute sure
00:02:48

00:02:49
told me that he had been out with a
00:02:52
couple of friends uh they had eaten they
00:02:54
played pool and they had a couple of
00:02:55
drinks a couple buddies of mine while i
00:02:58
was there on myself and the other
00:02:59
detectives we discovered a note on top
00:03:01
of the kitchen table and the note read
00:03:03
something to the fact hun
00:03:05
i'll be home at a certain time that sort
00:03:07
of thing caitlin she left that for me
00:03:13
when the police leave the apartment
00:03:15
kate's boyfriend goes straight to the
00:03:16
hospital and joins her family at her
00:03:19
bedside
00:03:21
but by the next day
00:03:23
caitlin arquette
00:03:25
is dead
00:03:26
six months after caitlyn's murder police
00:03:29
concluded that she had been the victim
00:03:31
of a quote
00:03:32
random act of violence but her mother
00:03:35
refuses to accept that ruling she is
00:03:38
convinced that her daughter was executed
00:03:40
by a hired assassin
00:03:43
[Music]
00:03:46
we're all set no questions asked
00:03:49
two and a half months before she was
00:03:51
killed caitlyn and her boyfriend took a
00:03:53
trip to southern california
00:03:55
apparently kate had become involved in a
00:03:58
complex
00:03:59
insurance scam
00:04:01
[Music]
00:04:02
one of our daughters told me that
00:04:05
that march a couple of months before the
00:04:08
boyfriend had staged an accident
00:04:13
a fake accident
00:04:14
in a car that kate had rented for him
00:04:17
with our credit card
00:04:21
the scam was reportedly set up by a
00:04:24
vietnamese gang
00:04:26
everyone involved in the accident would
00:04:28
complain of soft tissue injuries to
00:04:30
their neck and lower backs and were
00:04:32
later treated by a doctor who was also
00:04:35
part of the fraud
00:04:38
ultimately a law firm in orange county
00:04:40
california handled all the insurance
00:04:42
claims
00:04:43
kate and her boyfriend received fifteen
00:04:46
hundred dollars as their share of the
00:04:49
settlement
00:04:50
everything went well
00:04:52
it was a major multi-million dollar
00:04:54
insurance scam
00:04:59
all of a sudden there was another
00:05:01
element there something that suggested a
00:05:03
possible motive
00:05:05
because if kate was breaking up with her
00:05:07
boyfriend at that time then maybe maybe
00:05:10
she was a danger to the people who had
00:05:12
arranged this
00:05:16
a few weeks after kate's death her
00:05:19
mother made a disturbing discovery
00:05:22
three calls have been made from kate's
00:05:24
apartment at almost the exact time
00:05:27
that she died
00:05:30
in fact they were made just minutes
00:05:31
after she was pronounced dead when her
00:05:33
boyfriend was with us at the hospital
00:05:37
and the apartment should have been
00:05:38
unoccupied
00:05:40
the number turned out to belong to a
00:05:42
vietnamese paralegal in orange county
00:05:46
and it was the same paralegal who set up
00:05:49
the car wrecks
00:05:52
lois asked the local crime reporter mike
00:05:54
gallagher to investigate
00:05:59
lois wanted me to look into caitlyn's
00:06:02
relationship with a boyfriend
00:06:04
lois felt that there had been uh some
00:06:07
real problems and that the police had
00:06:08
failed to to take a look at it
00:06:11
mike first spoke to kate's former
00:06:13
landlord
00:06:14
i had the impression from neighbors that
00:06:17
caitlyn was more afraid of her
00:06:20
boyfriend's friends
00:06:22
rather than her boyfriend
00:06:24
she would get disturbed when they only
00:06:26
spoke vietnamese around her the friends
00:06:29
caused friction between her and her
00:06:31
boyfriend and she did not like his
00:06:33
friends
00:06:34
well if they're your friends how can you
00:06:36
let them treat me so long things were
00:06:38
much more stormy than we had ever
00:06:40
guessed and it wasn't just a little
00:06:42
lover's spat there was something very
00:06:44
major happening in kate's life after she
00:06:47
moved in with her boyfriend
00:06:49
and she told us she was very sorry that
00:06:52
she had ever let him move in with her
00:06:54
it had been a big mistake she wanted him
00:06:57
to move out so her girlfriend could move
00:06:59
in instead
00:07:01
mike gallagher was able to obtain a copy
00:07:03
of the note that police believed kate
00:07:05
had left for her boyfriend on the day of
00:07:07
the shooting
00:07:09
he compared it with another sample of
00:07:11
her writing
00:07:13
it was obvious just by comparing the
00:07:15
handwritings of the note with
00:07:18
caitlyn's writing that she did not write
00:07:20
that note
00:07:23
that led me to believe that within hours
00:07:25
of her shooting her boyfriend was
00:07:27
already lying to police
00:07:31
the landlord also told gallagher that on
00:07:34
the night caitlyn died three of her
00:07:36
boyfriend's associates were in her
00:07:37
apartment
00:07:39
drinking
00:07:40
kate's mother is convinced that one of
00:07:42
them made the phone calls to the law
00:07:44
firm
00:07:45
in orange county
00:07:47
who in the world would wait in that
00:07:49
apartment to call orange county to say
00:07:52
she's dead to call that particular
00:07:55
paralegal
00:07:56
none of that makes sense to us
00:08:00
was caitlin arquette executed because
00:08:02
she had learned too much about the
00:08:04
insurance scam
00:08:06
i don't think that the vietnamese
00:08:07
connection is related to this case thus
00:08:09
far i have not received any information
00:08:11
and to indicate
00:08:13
positively that
00:08:15
the vietnamese is involved in this
00:08:17
homicide
00:08:19
police were going in a completely
00:08:21
different direction
00:08:23
six months after the murder an informant
00:08:26
led police to a young man named juvenal
00:08:29
escobar the arcade girl the university
00:08:31
girl again they discovered that escobado
00:08:34
had recently sold his brown chevrolet
00:08:36
camaro
00:08:37
they became suspicious
00:08:40
[Music]
00:08:42
on the night of the murder a truck
00:08:44
driver had reported seeing a braun
00:08:46
camaro chasing a young woman in a car
00:08:49
similar
00:08:52
[Applause]
00:09:00
in the end however the charges were
00:09:03
dropped because police could not connect
00:09:05
juvenile with the shooting
00:09:08
we certainly appreciate you coming in
00:09:10
and talking finally under pressure from
00:09:12
kate's family the police questioned her
00:09:14
boyfriend again
00:09:16
this time he admitted that he and a
00:09:18
friend had taken part in the insurance
00:09:21
scam
00:09:23
but charges have never been filed
00:09:25
against him or any of his friends
00:09:28
nor is he considered a suspect in kate's
00:09:30
murder no she never tried to throw me
00:09:33
caitlyn's boyfriend's friends were
00:09:36
involved with
00:09:38
large-scale organized criminal activity
00:09:40
in los angeles
00:09:43
and multi-million dollar insurance
00:09:45
frauds
00:09:46
i don't think the police ever took that
00:09:48
seriously
00:09:51
there seems to be two viable theories
00:09:54
about who killed caitlyn
00:09:56
she was either the victim of a random
00:09:58
shooting or she was executed to keep her
00:10:01
from exposing the insurance scam
00:10:05
our family doesn't have any real idea
00:10:08
who pulled the trigger on kate the one
00:10:10
thing we feel very strong about is that
00:10:13
she was not shot randomly as just people
00:10:17
out on a spree having fun shooting a
00:10:18
pretty girl in a red car we believe kate
00:10:21
was killed because she was going to talk
00:10:24
was going to expose illegal activities
00:10:27
involving her boyfriend and his
00:10:29
companions
00:10:31
update
00:10:32
there are new developments in this case
00:10:35
and here's one of our staff with details
00:10:38
in 2021 paul apodaca who was being held
00:10:42
on a parole violation confessed to
00:10:44
multiple homicides and sexual assaults
00:10:46
including the murder of caitlyn arquette
00:10:49
he is charged with the murder of althea
00:10:51
oakley and remains behind bars while
00:10:54
investigators work to confirm his
00:10:56
involvement in caitlyn's murder
00:11:00
next georgia rudolph is haunted by
00:11:03
dreams and memories from another time
00:11:06
and possibly another life
00:11:18
marietta ohio
00:11:21
georgia rudolph describes a startling
00:11:24
dream
00:11:27
[Music]
00:11:32
i feel the cold
00:11:34
i feel the night
00:11:37
i smell the horses
00:11:39
i smell the leather
00:11:41
i can feel the girl
00:11:44
but it feels like myself
00:11:46
climbing on this carriage
00:11:49
and
00:11:50
going down the road and i can
00:11:52
hear the sound of the horse's hoofs
00:11:58
the dictionary defines reincarnation as
00:12:01
quote
00:12:02
the rebirth of a soul in a new body what
00:12:06
is reincarnation possible and can anyone
00:12:09
actually prove that they lived a
00:12:11
previous life
00:12:12
well georgia rudolph believes that she
00:12:15
can
00:12:17
there was a little girl and a younger
00:12:19
woman in all of george's visions
00:12:21
the time and the place are not familiar
00:12:24
sometimes they appear as dreams but more
00:12:28
often not as distinct memories
00:12:31
they describe events that she hasn't
00:12:34
experienced
00:12:36
at least not in this life
00:12:40
there never seemed to be a common
00:12:42
denominator of what would trigger off
00:12:44
the memories
00:12:46
as a child i don't think there was a
00:12:48
month that went by
00:12:51
that i didn't have
00:12:52
either memories
00:12:54
or dreams
00:12:58
georgia was only five when the memories
00:13:00
began
00:13:04
feast draw a picture of this girl
00:13:09
i also drawn a picture of a house since
00:13:11
i was five
00:13:13
and then the house
00:13:15
would go with the girl
00:13:18
and if i didn't get her right i would
00:13:20
erase her or tear it up and start all
00:13:23
over again
00:13:26
i knew exactly how this girl was
00:13:29
supposed to look
00:13:33
i have always known that face
00:13:37
as georgia grew older the incidents
00:13:39
became more frequent
00:13:42
often they were no more than a quick
00:13:44
flash
00:13:45
but all of her visions seem to come from
00:13:48
the distant past
00:13:49
from the early 1900s
00:13:51
there were no cars or planes
00:13:55
but there were repeated images of paddle
00:13:58
wheel steamers which georgia in her own
00:14:01
lifetime had never even seen
00:14:04
it's not like a childhood memory
00:14:07
it feels different
00:14:10
it's like
00:14:11
taking a picture from my mind
00:14:14
projecting it on a screen
00:14:17
and just replaying it
00:14:19
over and over
00:14:25
a river played a large part in george's
00:14:28
dreams
00:14:29
so did a young man dressed in a brown
00:14:31
suit wearing a derby hat
00:14:34
sometimes he was alone
00:14:36
sometimes he was with the girl and
00:14:39
always there were the images of a
00:14:41
horse-drawn carriage
00:14:43
on a cold winter night
00:14:48
when georgia first contacted me i felt
00:14:51
it might be something like an early
00:14:53
traumatic childhood memory that she was
00:14:55
trying to remember or re-experience or
00:14:58
possibly could be an aspect of a
00:15:00
multiple personality where she was
00:15:03
imagining herself or experiencing
00:15:05
herself to be someone different which
00:15:07
sometimes happens in these cases
00:15:09
other than that the reincarnation was
00:15:11
probably the last thing in my mind about
00:15:13
what had happened to her
00:15:16
so we're going to go through a procedure
00:15:18
this evening dr douglas smith began
00:15:20
regressive hypnosis with georgia
00:15:23
this type of therapy allows the patient
00:15:25
to go back in time but still remember
00:15:28
everything
00:15:30
i'd like you to take a very slow deep
00:15:31
breath for our story georgia agreed to
00:15:34
once again undergo hypnosis
00:15:38
he asked me a question
00:15:40
and referred to me as georgia i remember
00:15:44
very vividly saying
00:15:46
i don't know who you're talking to
00:15:49
and he said well if
00:15:51
this is in georgia then who is it
00:15:54
and i remember
00:15:56
saying
00:15:57
my name is sandra jean jenkins
00:16:05
and what year were you born sandra 1895.
00:16:11
georgia came to believe that the face
00:16:13
she had drawn so many times had a name
00:16:17
sandra jean jenkins
00:16:20
this was the girl in her memories
00:16:22
and her dreams
00:16:23
[Music]
00:16:25
in further sessions georgia filled in
00:16:28
the details of her visions
00:16:30
she could now clearly see sandra jean on
00:16:33
a paddle wheel steamer
00:16:35
one of the men on the boat was the young
00:16:37
man in the derby hat
00:16:39
his name
00:16:40
was tommy hicks
00:16:42
he and sandra were sweethearts
00:16:45
the sessions also revealed that the two
00:16:47
of them
00:16:48
were about to be married
00:16:53
georgia seems to me a very down-to-earth
00:16:56
person
00:16:57
and
00:16:58
it surprised me when she came out with
00:17:00
the amount of emotion and affect and
00:17:01
details that she did under hypnosis
00:17:06
when this came out
00:17:07
not only did i feel i was crazy it
00:17:10
scared me to death
00:17:12
it went against everything
00:17:14
that i have ever been taught
00:17:17
as far as religion goes
00:17:19
she is very sincere in her belief that
00:17:21
she actually subjectively experienced
00:17:24
all the things
00:17:25
that she has experienced in that past
00:17:27
life that she described
00:17:29
she's not faking or pretending it is a
00:17:32
real experience for her
00:17:35
were the visions that haunted georgia
00:17:37
rudolph for more than 30 years proof of
00:17:40
reincarnation
00:17:43
[Music]
00:17:46
coming up georgia finds unexplained
00:17:48
connections between her dreams and the
00:17:51
real life of sandra jean jenkins
00:17:55
[Music]
00:18:02
for more than 30 years georgia rudolph
00:18:04
was haunted by dreams of a girl named
00:18:06
sandra jean jenkins
00:18:13
under hypnosis she was repeatedly drawn
00:18:16
to the town of marietta ohio
00:18:22
georgia decided to visit hoping to see
00:18:25
if there was any truth to her dreams
00:18:29
georgia arranged to meet with a reporter
00:18:31
named ted bauer he was a lifelong
00:18:34
resident of marietta and had worked for
00:18:36
the local newspaper for 32 years
00:18:40
when george arrived in marietta i said
00:18:42
i'll take you around and show you some
00:18:44
of the places you talked about over the
00:18:46
phone and she says no i'll show you
00:18:48
where to go
00:18:49
i remember this place
00:18:51
ted was amazed when georgia stopped in
00:18:54
front of an insurance company and began
00:18:56
describing the interior of an ice cream
00:18:59
parlor
00:19:01
the ice cream parlor had closed in 1937
00:19:05
11 years before georgia was
00:19:08
born inside it was it was like red and
00:19:08
i remember even
00:19:12
white she described interior red white
00:19:14
almost perfectly and it was i checked
00:19:17
this with the son of the man who had run
00:19:19
it for years
00:19:21
in a way it seems crazy but what do you
00:19:23
do she was accurate about her
00:19:25
descriptions
00:19:27
i was just baffled by her
00:19:30
she has some kind of power some
00:19:33
way of knowing what happened in the past
00:19:37
i don't know what the power would be but
00:19:39
she hasn't
00:19:41
when i began to understand that i was
00:19:42
being
00:19:44
100 correct
00:19:49
there was a fright
00:19:51
but there was an excitement that was
00:19:52
starting to build in me
00:19:55
it was like
00:19:58
this is really real
00:20:01
i really was this girl
00:20:05
despite her vivid memories georgia could
00:20:08
find no record whatsoever of a sandra
00:20:10
jean jenkins in marietta
00:20:13
and so she continued her search five
00:20:15
miles to the north
00:20:17
in the small farming town of newport
00:20:19
ohio
00:20:20
and you guessed it
00:20:22
she knew her way around this town too
00:20:30
[Music]
00:20:33
the first thing i saw
00:20:35
when entering newport was a big gray
00:20:37
house
00:20:39
it sent chills
00:20:41
through my body
00:20:43
this is my house this is where
00:20:46
i lived
00:20:49
i could see a room
00:20:51
and i knew that this had been
00:20:54
her bedroom
00:20:57
this was the house
00:20:59
that sandra had lived in
00:21:07
throughout george's life one dream had
00:21:10
always stood out as more haunting than
00:21:12
all the others
00:21:15
in it she saw sandra jean as a young
00:21:17
girl alone
00:21:19
on the steps of a church
00:21:22
in the dream i know
00:21:24
she has to walk exactly two blocks
00:21:27
and
00:21:28
she's standing in front of a cemetery
00:21:32
and there's a path that goes off to the
00:21:34
right and it curves and twists in
00:21:37
different directions
00:21:39
and then the path eventually straightens
00:21:41
out
00:21:43
when she gets to the point where it
00:21:45
straightens out
00:21:46
she's on the side of a hill
00:21:48
looking down on a grave
00:21:52
which i know to be her grandmother's
00:21:54
grave
00:21:55
but i'm never able to get the name off
00:21:57
of the headstone
00:21:59
because it's that point that i wake up
00:22:06
in newport georgia found the church from
00:22:08
her dream
00:22:10
perhaps now she could find out the
00:22:12
identity of sandra jean's grandmother
00:22:16
i walked the two blocks that i knew i
00:22:18
had to walk in my dream
00:22:20
and i found myself in the cemetery
00:22:23
and i started
00:22:24
walking this path and as i walked it
00:22:28
it began to dawn on me this is the path
00:22:31
in my dreams
00:22:34
and when i stopped where the dream stops
00:22:38
i was looking down on the grave
00:22:40
that i knew
00:22:42
to be my grandmother's
00:22:44
and
00:22:45
it said
00:22:47
mary bevin green
00:22:51
and i finally
00:22:53
got a name
00:22:55
the gravestone provided the missing link
00:22:58
to the house georgia had seen in her
00:23:00
dream
00:23:01
[Music]
00:23:03
in the early 1900s this house had been
00:23:06
the home of the green family
00:23:08
they had also owned the fleet of paddle
00:23:10
wheel steamers that worked the ohio
00:23:13
river
00:23:14
now the story of sandra jean jenkins and
00:23:17
tommy hicks
00:23:19
became clear
00:23:22
want you to allow yourself to go back a
00:23:24
little bit further under hypnosis
00:23:26
georgia recall that just days before
00:23:28
sandra jean and tommy were to be married
00:23:31
he was swept overboard in the storm on
00:23:33
the ohio river
00:23:35
his body was never found
00:23:37
sandra jean jenkins was left alone and
00:23:40
to her family's dismay
00:23:42
she discovered that she was pregnant
00:23:44
with tommy's child
00:23:47
mommy's gone
00:23:51
i don't want to be here
00:23:56
mama will never forgive me
00:24:02
i want you to move forward in time
00:24:05
you are now at the river
00:24:08
and i want you to describe to me what
00:24:10
you did then
00:24:12
i take my locket off
00:24:18
and i slide into the water
00:24:22
i walk
00:24:25
i walk
00:24:29
where are you buried they put me up on
00:24:33
the hill
00:24:36
close to the family but my wits are
00:24:38
family
00:24:40
georgia is convinced that because sandra
00:24:43
jean took her own life she was buried in
00:24:45
an unmarked grave a few feet away from
00:24:48
her grandmother
00:24:51
under hypnosis georgia said that from
00:24:54
sandra jean's grave you can see an angel
00:24:57
with one arm raised up
00:25:00
when she looked south from mary green's
00:25:02
grave georgia saw the statue of an angel
00:25:07
its right arm extended upward
00:25:12
george's discoveries in ohio do seem
00:25:14
convincing
00:25:15
but is there any real proof that sandra
00:25:18
jenkins or tommy hicks ever existed
00:25:22
georgia couldn't find a record of tommy
00:25:24
but she did find his parents
00:25:29
when i was under hypnosis i had said
00:25:31
that tommy's parents names were tom and
00:25:34
jenny hicks
00:25:36
that in 1906
00:25:38
there is a farm registered to tom and
00:25:40
jenny hicks in newport ohio
00:25:45
georgia also located the green family's
00:25:48
nearest living relatives who gave her
00:25:50
evidence that sandra jean jenkins
00:25:53
actually existed
00:25:55
they brought out a picture
00:25:57
taken in 1908
00:26:01
it's a family reunion picture
00:26:04
and the girl that i call sandra
00:26:07
that i have drawn my entire life is
00:26:10
standing in that picture
00:26:14
there was a statement made
00:26:16
by a member of the family
00:26:19
i don't know this girl's name
00:26:22
but i know she drowned out back of the
00:26:24
house
00:26:25
[Music]
00:26:28
in the family photograph the girl from
00:26:31
george's dreams seems to be standing
00:26:34
slightly apart from those around her
00:26:37
the photograph includes a roster of
00:26:39
names
00:26:40
every single person is identified except
00:26:43
the girl georgia recognized
00:26:46
as sandra gene
00:26:49
in terms of whether reincarnation is a
00:26:51
real fact or not
00:26:53
as a scientist i don't know i want proof
00:26:57
i'm a doubter
00:26:59
but as a human being
00:27:01
i would love to have it be the truth
00:27:04
i believe
00:27:06
that reincarnation is real
00:27:08
[Music]
00:27:10
but i'm not sure
00:27:11
what reincarnation is
00:27:14
i know there's something
00:27:16
to it
00:27:19
i have had an experience
00:27:21
that a lot of people don't get to have
00:27:24
my logic
00:27:26
oftentimes will tell me
00:27:29
no this isn't real
00:27:32
but my heart tells me
00:27:35
yes it is
00:27:38
could the story of sandra jean jenkins
00:27:40
be the result of an overactive
00:27:42
imagination
00:27:43
or is it proof of reincarnation
00:27:46
or maybe
00:27:48
it's something else
00:27:50
something
00:27:52
we can't explain
00:27:57
next a serial rapist who brought terror
00:28:00
to a small college town is finally back
00:28:03
behind bars
00:28:14
texas a m university
00:28:17
with more than 45 000 students this
00:28:20
campus provided the perfect cover for a
00:28:23
serial rapist
00:28:25
he hid his violent intentions behind a
00:28:27
normal college life
00:28:31
on the night of the first attack he was
00:28:33
just the jogger who looked like any
00:28:36
other student
00:28:38
when the jogger ran by the victim he ran
00:28:40
out of sight
00:28:42
then turned around came back she didn't
00:28:44
feel at that time that that was really
00:28:46
strange because of the fact that there
00:28:47
are a lot of joggers that go to a
00:28:49
certain area they'll turn around and
00:28:50
come back and they may come back the
00:28:52
same way or they may continue a
00:28:53
different route
00:28:54
hey
00:28:55
hi
00:28:57
chilly evening tonight yes
00:29:02
the suspect kept telling the victim to
00:29:05
do what he told her to do
00:29:07
he also kept that knife
00:29:09
within her sight and she had every
00:29:12
indication at that point that he would
00:29:15
use that knife on her
00:29:20
30 minutes later the rapist disappeared
00:29:22
into the shadows
00:29:24
university police soon released a
00:29:26
composite sketch and a character profile
00:29:29
of the suspect
00:29:32
he was probably a college student he
00:29:34
would strike again he would use that
00:29:36
knife
00:29:37
we had to catch this guy we had to
00:29:40
identify him we had to
00:29:41
find out where he was and we had to
00:29:43
prevent him from
00:29:46
performing another sexual assault
00:29:50
the profile was right on target three
00:29:53
months later the knife-wheeling
00:29:55
assailant struck again
00:30:04
[Applause]
00:30:06
from nowhere she said a knife appeared
00:30:09
and was placed against her throat
00:30:12
he threatened her he told her that if
00:30:13
she screamed he was going to kill her
00:30:16
and therefore she comply with his
00:30:17
instructions
00:30:19
he then took her to a nearby field there
00:30:22
was about five foot tall grass
00:30:24
and he had already matted down a six
00:30:26
foot diameter area so the grass was real
00:30:29
low which is where he then sexually
00:30:31
assaulted her
00:30:32
the site was chosen but not necessarily
00:30:35
the victim he just waited for the right
00:30:36
one to come by and then took her to the
00:30:39
location that he was he had already
00:30:41
prepared
00:30:44
this composite is based on the second
00:30:46
victim's description
00:30:48
when compared with the first drawing
00:30:50
investigators knew that a serial rapist
00:30:53
was stalking the campus
00:30:57
we became very concerned that if it was
00:30:59
indeed the same person if he had
00:31:01
committed one and committed a second
00:31:03
there was most likely going to be a
00:31:05
third and a fourth and so on until he
00:31:07
was stopped
00:31:10
authorities covered the campus with
00:31:11
posters
00:31:12
however the description could have fit
00:31:15
almost any male student
00:31:20
straight hair not curly
00:31:22
young not old white not black
00:31:27
a lot of people end up saying yep looks
00:31:29
like just any regular person
00:31:31
even the second victim that i had
00:31:32
interviewed in depth she made the
00:31:34
comment to just looked like a clean cut
00:31:36
student
00:31:39
the critical break came from the first
00:31:41
victim when 10 months after the assault
00:31:44
she stopped for groceries at a local
00:31:46
market
00:31:49
have a good day thanks
00:31:51
howdy how you doing
00:31:54
hey
00:31:56

00:32:03
[Music]
00:32:08
the young woman was convinced that she
00:32:10
was now face to face with the man
00:32:13
who raped her
00:32:15
that'll be 42-57 please
00:32:18

00:32:50

00:32:52

00:32:55
police soon learned that the clerk's
00:32:57
name was don richard davis jr
00:33:02
he was scheduled to graduate from texas
00:33:04
a m in just three weeks
00:33:08
detective villarreal this is detective
00:33:09
lynn holmer with the texas a m
00:33:11
university police department hi we're
00:33:13
investigating the two rapes that took
00:33:14
place on the campus last year your name
00:33:16
came to us to look alike yeah his
00:33:18
demeanor his posture even his physical
00:33:21
continence was very timid
00:33:24
very sheepish
00:33:26
but interesting enough we started to
00:33:28
really study that picture and look at
00:33:30
him he started to really look in those
00:33:32
eyes
00:33:33
they didn't match the sheepish behavior
00:33:37
we had seen the eyes ended up reflecting
00:33:39
a very
00:33:40
thoughtful
00:33:41
aware
00:33:43
focused individual
00:33:46
when this photograph of davis was shown
00:33:48
to the second victim she also identified
00:33:51
him as the rapist
00:33:54
dna evidence was the clincher
00:34:00
davis was arrested and charged with two
00:34:02
counts of aggravated sexual assault you
00:34:04
to let me call my parents
00:34:07
he was released on 150 000 bail and
00:34:11
ordered to stay with his parents and
00:34:13
observe a 10 p.m curfew
00:34:17
but six days before the start of his
00:34:18
trial davis did not come home
00:34:26
update
00:34:28
soon after our story aired don richard
00:34:31
davis jr was arrested by police in
00:34:34
cleveland ohio
00:34:35
davis pleaded guilty to two counts of
00:34:38
aggravated sexual assault
00:34:40
he was sentenced to 99 years in prison
00:34:43
and will not be eligible for parole
00:34:46
until 2013.
00:34:48
[Music]
00:34:52
coming up an aviation expert believes he
00:34:55
has solved the mystery of amelia
00:34:57
earhart's final flight
00:35:10
celine county arkansas
00:35:13
on a hot august evening don henry and
00:35:16
kevin ives set out for some night
00:35:18
hunting along the railroad tracks behind
00:35:20
don's home
00:35:21
[Applause]
00:35:23
four hours later the engineer of a
00:35:25
freight train traveling at more than 50
00:35:27
miles an hour
00:35:29
spots what he thinks are two people
00:35:32
stretched across the tracks
00:35:34
and i started laying down on the diesel
00:35:36
horn
00:35:39
[Applause]
00:35:46
and i got no reaction not at all
00:35:50
not so much as a flinch
00:35:54
dan and kevin were lying parallel on the
00:35:56
tracks they were partially covered by a
00:35:58
light green tarp and beside them lay
00:36:01
down's 22 caliber rifle
00:36:04
after a brief investigation the state
00:36:06
medical examiner ruled that their deaths
00:36:09
were accidental
00:36:13
to prosecutor richard garrett the death
00:36:15
of don henry and kevin ives looked like
00:36:18
murder
00:36:20
he received permission for a second
00:36:22
autopsy
00:36:23
this time the results reveal that kevin
00:36:26
had been stabbed in the back by a large
00:36:28
knife and don had been hit in the face
00:36:31
with a rifle butt
00:36:35
garrett now believes that both boys were
00:36:37
either unconscious or dead before the
00:36:40
train ever hit them
00:36:43
i think that the boys
00:36:46
saw something that they shouldn't have
00:36:47
seen and it had to do with drugs either
00:36:50
with a crank lab
00:36:53
which manufactures methamphetamine
00:36:55
are certain individuals involved in
00:36:58
those matters and and
00:37:00
those people felt like that the
00:37:01
information that the boys then had
00:37:03
was such that they could not allow them
00:37:05
to to live
00:37:09
update
00:37:12
since we broadcast this story don
00:37:14
henry's t-shirt has been analyzed by an
00:37:17
expert pathologist
00:37:20
cuts in the fabric indicate that don was
00:37:22
stabbed before the train ran over him
00:37:26
in the light of this new evidence the
00:37:28
grand jury changed its ruling from
00:37:31
probable homicide
00:37:32
to definite homicide

one of the most intriguing stories we
00:37:53
have ever profiled is the mystery of
00:37:56
legendary aviator amelia earhart
00:37:59
after we first broadcast her story
00:38:01
researcher richard gillespie announced
00:38:04
to the world that he had finally solved
00:38:06
the mystery of her last flight
00:38:10
70 years ago amelia earhart earned the
00:38:14
admiration of the entire world
00:38:18
at a time when flying was an all-male
00:38:21
club amelia earhart became an
00:38:24
all-american hero
00:38:27
on may 20th 1937 amelia and her
00:38:31
navigator fred newman began a daring
00:38:33
attempt to fly around the world in this
00:38:36
twin-engine lockheed 10 electra
00:38:40
on july 2nd they disappeared trying to
00:38:43
find tiny howland island in the south
00:38:46
pacific
00:38:49
a massive search turned up no trace of
00:38:52
emilia fred or their airplane
00:38:55
they were officially declared lost at
00:38:57
sea

[Music]
00:39:06
one year after we first broadcast the
00:39:09
story aviation researcher richard
00:39:11
gillespie called the press conference
00:39:14
he claimed to have found physical
00:39:16
evidence proving that amelia earhart and
00:39:19
fred noonan died on a small island
00:39:23
waiting to be rescued
00:39:25
before you are artifacts which along
00:39:28
with recently discovered historical
00:39:30
documents
00:39:32
conclusively solve
00:39:33
the disappearance of amelia earhart
00:39:36
gillespie found artifacts on a tiny
00:39:39
island located 420 miles from holland
00:39:42
island earhart's original destination
00:39:46
among the items that gillespie displayed
00:39:48
were these tattered remnants of a shoe
00:39:51
allegedly worn by earhart
00:39:55
he also found this piece of aluminum
00:39:58
which he claims came from earhart's
00:40:00
lockheed 10 electric
00:40:02
the rivet pattern
00:40:04
is the same
00:40:07
if richard gillespie is correct then the
00:40:09
final chapter of amelia earhart's story
00:40:12
can be written
00:40:14
however gillespie's evidence has been
00:40:17
questioned by several experts
00:40:20
elgin long a noted historian ann earhart
00:40:23
biographer was asked by gillespie to
00:40:26
study detailed measurements and
00:40:28
photographs of the wreckage
00:40:31
long and his team compared the evidence
00:40:34
with an airplane identical to a
00:40:36
milliards
00:40:39
we made a template that was the exact
00:40:41
same size and had all the rivet holes in
00:40:43
it just like the fragment that was found
00:40:45
on nicomaroto
00:40:47
we put this template up to the bottom of
00:40:49
the airplane and we compared the rivet
00:40:51
lines with the rivets on the actual
00:40:53
airplane before you notice that there's
00:40:54
no
00:40:55
row of fasteners they didn't match at
00:40:57
all
00:40:57
also notice that there was rivet holes
00:41:00
where there shouldn't be any rivets and
00:41:02
there weren't rivet holes where there
00:41:03
should be rivets
00:41:05
algen long compared the template to
00:41:07
nearly every section of the airplane
00:41:10
no match could be found
00:41:12
yeah there's no way that piece could
00:41:14
have come from a lockheed 10 or amelia
00:41:17
earhart's airplane
00:41:20
richard gillespie claims that the rivet
00:41:22
patterns don't match because repairs
00:41:24
were made to earhart's plane during her
00:41:26
first attempt to fly around the world
00:41:30
a lockheed engineer ed werner disagrees
00:41:34
he argues that all repairs made on
00:41:36
earhart's plane were done to strict
00:41:39
factory specs
00:41:41
the repair
00:41:42
had to be exactly
00:41:44
per the engineering orders
00:41:48
but at first i was
00:41:49
kind of happy that this controversy was
00:41:52
over
00:41:53
with him
00:41:54
very disappointed
00:41:56
now
00:41:56
[Music]
00:41:58
from the conclusion that it can't be
00:42:00
part of her airplane
00:42:05
richard gillespie stands by his claim
00:42:07
that the fragment he found came from
00:42:09
amelia earhart's plane but
00:42:12
aviation experts disagree
00:42:16
for now at least the legendary
00:42:17
disappearance of amelia earhart remains
00:42:21
an unsolved mystery
00:42:56
