Toledo
00:01:46
Ohio 20-year-old Cindy Anderson has been
00:01:50
plagued by a series of frightening
00:01:57
dreams in one episode the acquaintance
00:02:00
she lets in the door betrays her trust
00:02:03
where are you taking
00:02:08
me one morning while I was getting ready
00:02:10
for work I overheard Cindy talking to my
00:02:13
mother what's wrong Mom I had a dream
00:02:16
last night well tell me about it I do
00:02:19
believe that the dreams could have been
00:02:21
a premonition of fears that Cindy
00:02:24
actually had in her subconscious at the
00:02:28
time Cindy was employed as a legal
00:02:31
secretary and in the mornings usually
00:02:34
worked in the office alone she kept the
00:02:36
door locked at all times a buzzer had
00:02:39
even been installed at her desk so that
00:02:42
she could alert the shop next door if
00:02:44
there was
00:02:47
trouble one day at noon Jim rabbit and
00:02:51
Jay felstein two of the lawyers arrived
00:02:53
back at their office after a meeting Jay
00:02:56
and I came back from downtown went up to
00:02:59
the the door and the lights were on the
00:03:01
door was locked we unlocked the door
00:03:04
went inside yelled for Cindy and uh
00:03:06
there was no
00:03:07
answer hey Cindy I started to look
00:03:10
around uh out front Cindy when she would
00:03:13
leave would place the phones on hold and
00:03:15
that wasn't done
00:03:19
either take a look at this for a
00:03:21
second look what that page was turned to
00:03:24
Cindy had left her romance novel open to
00:03:26
the only violence scene in the book
00:03:29
where the heroin is abducted at knife
00:03:33
[Music]
00:03:34
point we should call somebody it wasn't
00:03:36
until really looking at the book
00:03:38
particularly reading the passage in the
00:03:40
novel uh I just had a sickening feeling
00:03:44
uh that something was wrong Cindy was
00:03:47
never seen again there was no body no
00:03:50
farewell letter no hint where she had
00:03:52
gone or why she had disappeared were
00:03:55
Cindy's dreams premonitions of a
00:03:57
terrible fate or were they just a
00:04:01
coincidence Cindy was raised in a strict
00:04:04
religious environment her family
00:04:06
boyfriend and most of her Social Circle
00:04:09
were all devout Christian
00:04:12
fundamentalists she was a very quiet
00:04:15
obedient type of a girl she never made
00:04:19
ways with either myself or her mother
00:04:22
and she had lots of friends she was the
00:04:24
type of daughter that you just enjoy I
00:04:27
mean just a beautiful young girl
00:04:30
at the time of Cindy's disappearance
00:04:32
there were no circumstances in her life
00:04:35
that any of us were aware of that would
00:04:37
have caused her to have run away she was
00:04:40
looking forward to quitting her job in
00:04:42
two weeks and going to a Bible College
00:04:46
where she would attend with her
00:04:48
boyfriend um she was very excited about
00:04:51
it just before she disappeared however
00:04:53
she was um becoming like a debutant she
00:04:58
was spending a lot of time on her face
00:04:59
and herself and she skipped breakfast
00:05:01
for this reason and that may be part of
00:05:04
the
00:05:05
problem ke here's some L PRS the day
00:05:08
Cindy vanished the police immediately
00:05:10
began a search for Clues Cindy's car
00:05:13
keys and purse were missing but the
00:05:15
office was undisturbed and there were no
00:05:18
signs of a struggle her car was parked
00:05:21
in front of the law office her bank
00:05:24
account which had a nice substantial
00:05:26
amount of money was never touched her
00:05:30
social security number has never shown
00:05:32
up under any other workplace it's a
00:05:35
complete mystery how and why Cindy
00:05:41
disappeared 10 months earlier Cindy had
00:05:44
noticed a disturbing sign near her work
00:05:47
on the wall across from her office
00:05:49
someone had painted the words I love you
00:05:52
Cindy by GW there was no other woman
00:05:56
named Cindy working in that side of the
00:05:58
strip mall that it could would have been
00:05:59
four so it was strategically placed and
00:06:02
it really gave us the heie
00:06:05
jebs the spray painted sign was visible
00:06:08
for about 6 months and then it was
00:06:10
covered
00:06:13
up within weeks the same message
00:06:17
reappeared this time it was even larger
00:06:21
Cindy tried to figure out who GW could
00:06:25
have been and we couldn't think of
00:06:27
anyone at school at church and our group
00:06:30
of friends um at home in the
00:06:32
neighborhood so it did bother us a
00:06:35
lot we attempted to locate people that
00:06:38
Cindy would know with those
00:06:40
initials among the uh people that were
00:06:45
investigated with the initials of GW was
00:06:48
the maintenance man who had worked for
00:06:50
the law firm for some time he had keys
00:06:53
to both doors in fact he had keys to all
00:06:57
the
00:06:58
offices but the police found no evidence
00:07:01
that the maintenance man wrote the
00:07:03
graffiti and he was never charged the
00:07:06
day before Cynthia and Anderson
00:07:08
disappeared I had been in the law
00:07:10
offices to pay off a legal fee she got a
00:07:13
phone call Law Offices she kind of
00:07:15
reacted like maybe it was obscene or
00:07:17
something because she hung up real quick
00:07:21
$30 and she got another phone call and
00:07:25
the look on her face still I can picture
00:07:27
it today she was scared she was honestly
00:07:30
sincerely scared it gives me shivers to
00:07:33
think of the look on her face some kind
00:07:35
of problem uh no it it's just been
00:07:38
happening lately I went home and I
00:07:40
called the police department and asked
00:07:42
them to do a driveby and check on her
00:07:44
see are going something scared the hell
00:07:46
out of him in my
00:07:49
opinion the for you a month after Cindy
00:07:52
vanished another strange phone call gave
00:07:55
police a new lead detective
00:07:58
Adams name is Cynthia Anderson case who
00:08:01
is this no I can't give you my name she
00:08:05
said that she was scared and she was
00:08:07
talking in low Whispers all I know is I
00:08:10
was told she was being held in a
00:08:11
basement of a White House can't you give
00:08:13
me the address she kept saying that she
00:08:17
had to go I kept begging her to stay on
00:08:20
the line give me more information give
00:08:23
me an exact address something that we
00:08:25
could act on I've got to go
00:08:31
a short while later she again called
00:08:33
detective Adams calling again
00:08:36
about uh I'm glad you call back ma'am
00:08:39
the lady mentioned that there was two
00:08:42
houses side by side owned by the same
00:08:45
family and that the family was out of
00:08:48
town but their son was home and he was
00:08:51
the party that was holding Cindy in the
00:08:54
basement we did check Street after
00:08:57
Street in the North End to see if we
00:08:59
could find two houses side by side
00:09:03
there's so many that you can't get a
00:09:06
positive vocation of the
00:09:08
house my hope is that my daughter is
00:09:11
alive and well and living a normal life
00:09:13
perhaps with loss of memory if she
00:09:16
herself is out there we want her to know
00:09:17
that we love her and we certainly want
00:09:19
her to come back whatever the case may
00:09:20
be the door is open we certainly want
00:09:23
anybody and everybody that can possibly
00:09:26
help in this situation to do
00:09:28
so
00:09:29
after Cindy's disappearance a local
00:09:32
grand jury indicted nine people for drug
00:09:35
trafficking some suspect that Cindy knew
00:09:38
one of them and that she was killed
00:09:40
after she overheard incriminating
00:09:43
comments no charges were ever filed if
00:09:47
you have any information about The
00:09:49
Disappearance of Cindy Anderson please
00:09:51
log on to our website at UNS south.com
00:09:59
next they torched the crime scene and
00:10:02
dumped the bodies but will they get away
00:10:05
with a coldblooded double
00:10:18
murder Lewis Chapel Mountain Tennessee
00:10:22
is a place where everyone knows their
00:10:24
neighbor and families live in the same
00:10:26
town for Generations
00:10:29
two popular residents were Joe Harvey
00:10:32
and his wife Maddie called te by friends
00:10:36
for 35 years they ran a combination
00:10:39
convenience store and automobile repair
00:10:41
shop it was the only place to buy gas or
00:10:44
groceries for miles around T liked to
00:10:48
talk a lot and that was kind of like the
00:10:52
community newspaper in other words right
00:10:55
there they just knew everybody anybody
00:10:59
help they would help it was pretty well
00:11:01
common knowledge that they kept cash
00:11:03
receipts from the store hey Pat I asked
00:11:06
them time and time again not to keep
00:11:08
that kind of money around that they
00:11:10
needed a bank account and Joe I tried to
00:11:13
get him even get a gun and put in the
00:11:15
garage and and station there where he's
00:11:17
at and he wouldn't even do that trusted
00:11:20
people too much let's go get some supper
00:11:23
before you fall the TV Joe and mdy were
00:11:26
such a fixure that everyone thought that
00:11:28
they would be there
00:11:32
forever then for the first time in
00:11:35
memory there a store was not open at
00:11:38
9:00 a.m. on a Monday morning a
00:11:41
concerned neighbor called the sheriff I
00:11:44
walked up a little steps like where you
00:11:46
go up to the back
00:11:48
door and the handle of the door was
00:11:50
unlocked so where I just pushed the door
00:11:55
open the inside of the house was
00:11:57
completely gutted by by fire Joe and
00:12:00
Maddie were nowhere to be
00:12:03
found and I just turned and come back
00:12:06
out on the the
00:12:07
porch I discovered blood spots with some
00:12:11
high fragment and flesh so that give me
00:12:15
a funny feeling that something had
00:12:17
really happened at that
00:12:21
point Agents from the Tennessee Bureau
00:12:24
of Investigation arrived on the scene
00:12:27
State arson investigators found a 2
00:12:30
gallon gasoline can on the kitchen table
00:12:33
the investigators found various blood
00:12:35
spots throughout the house and on porch
00:12:37
and steps leading from the house the
00:12:40
conclusion is obvious the arson was set
00:12:42
for an attempt to cover up crimes that
00:12:44
had been committed there and so with the
00:12:47
idea of that we had been informed that
00:12:49
they did keep large sums of money first
00:12:52
thing first reaction is there had been a
00:12:54
robbery I didn't thought maybe they
00:12:56
might have been kidnapped I thought
00:12:58
maybe they'd went on the Smokies or
00:13:00
something like that but when I got to
00:13:03
the mountain and they told me they'
00:13:04
found blood and the house been burned
00:13:06
inside I didn't know what to think at
00:13:08
that point all I could think about was
00:13:11
hoping that they were still
00:13:13
alive a fullscale search of the area
00:13:16
turned up no clues whatsoever The
00:13:19
Disappearance of Joe and Maddie left
00:13:21
their family and friends stunned and
00:13:23
then only a week later another member of
00:13:26
the Harvey family vanished
00:13:30
27-year-old Cheryl Holland was Joe and
00:13:33
Maddy's niece and they were extremely
00:13:35
close Cheryl often came to the store for
00:13:38
a visit with her young daughter hi
00:13:41
cherl Tate could not have loved Cheryl
00:13:44
anymore if she had been her own
00:13:47
daughter that's way she felt about her
00:13:50
and she felt that way about the little
00:13:52
girl of
00:13:53
Cheryl she loved that little girl today
00:13:56
I mean she she thought that little girl
00:13:57
is all they were
00:14:00
a week after Joe and Maddie were last
00:14:02
seen Cheryl's pickup truck was found
00:14:04
abandoned at a truck stop two hours from
00:14:07
home investigators found the truck
00:14:10
unlocked they found keys in the truck
00:14:12
and they found a necklace that has later
00:14:15
been identified as hers laying beside
00:14:17
the truck also her pocketbook was still
00:14:19
in the truck the evidence they found on
00:14:22
the scene would lead a reasonable person
00:14:24
to assume there had been an abduction
00:14:27
what time did you leave Ross lady
00:14:29
um it's about the middle of the morning
00:14:31
on Wednesday investigators question
00:14:34
Cheryl's common law husband Eddie
00:14:37
wooden he tells about her taking him to
00:14:41
Newport News Virginia he tells about
00:14:44
stopping at a place where they slept but
00:14:47
he can't remember where they stopped so
00:14:49
we kept finding many many
00:14:51
inconsistencies such as that we have two
00:14:54
missing people now we have three all out
00:14:56
of a very close immediate family even
00:14:58
living next door many times in her life
00:15:01
the favorite niece is missing there's no
00:15:04
money in the house the ARs and the blood
00:15:06
it all bills and then the question is is
00:15:09
she really missing is she an abductee or
00:15:12
is she part and parcel of of a crime
00:15:15
Eddie when was the last time you saw
00:15:17
Cheryl it's like I said when she dropped
00:15:19
me off at Newport News Eddie Wooten was
00:15:21
questioned again he told authorities
00:15:24
that in late February he took Cheryl to
00:15:27
a hospital in Knoxville for a week-long
00:15:29
treatment of stomach cancer name the
00:15:32
hospital I don't remember you don't
00:15:35
remember the name of the hospital we had
00:15:37
been told by the family that she had
00:15:39
borrowed money and gone to other
00:15:41
institutions for supposed uh treatment
00:15:45
of a um cancerous condition and we found
00:15:48
that not to be true on the day in
00:15:51
question that he claimed that he left
00:15:52
her in Knoxville for treatments she in
00:15:54
fact was working in Chattanooga
00:15:56
Tennessee how could she be and Knoxville
00:15:59
at the hospital and here in chattanoga
00:16:01
working at the truck stop at the same
00:16:03
time
00:16:04
Eddie if I tell you what happened what's
00:16:07
going to happen to me finally Eddie
00:16:09
Wooten broke down he told a tale of
00:16:12
Heartless betrayal and cold blooded
00:16:14
murder that horrified
00:16:20
investigators next the detail of Eddie
00:16:23
wooten's confession and the search for
00:16:26
the unlikely Mastermind
00:16:36
Maddie and Joe Harvey were missing from
00:16:38
their small town in
00:16:40
Tennessee their home had been torched
00:16:43
their niece Cheryl had also mysteriously
00:16:46

Eddie Wooten was interrogated by
00:16:51
investigators if I tell you what
00:16:52

00:16:55
eventually Eddie broke down and gave
00:16:57
details of the horrific crime what
00:17:00
follows is based on court records of his
00:17:04
confession that whole week uh Cheryl
00:17:07

00:17:09

00:17:18
telling me that she needed more money so

that night we were going to go up to her
00:17:24

state line they stopped at the
00:19:26
Bridgeport Ferry on the tennis
00:19:32
River won said Cheryl later returned
00:19:35
alone to Joe and Matty's house Cheryl
00:19:38
stole an estimated
00:19:40
$150,000 in
00:19:45
cash and then tried to cover up the
00:19:49
crime two days later Cheryl bodle
00:19:52
returned to the crime scene again even
00:19:55
as investigators were searching for
00:19:57
evidence could let me she intended
00:20:00
obviously for the house to burn
00:20:02
completely and the house did not burn as
00:20:04
a result of that the gas can was left
00:20:08
basically intact on the kitchen table
00:20:10
you're not going to believe what's on
00:20:11
the bottom of this can what's that
00:20:12
Bloody fingerprint and from that gas can
00:20:15
we were able to obtain a Laten print
00:20:18
which definitely matched up to the known
00:20:21
thumb print of Cheryl
00:20:25
Holland Searchers dragg the river near
00:20:28
the the Bridgeport Ferry and found the
00:20:30
Harvey's
00:20:31
Car Joe and Maddie had been shot in the
00:20:34
head just as Wooten
00:20:37
described Eddie Wooten was arraigned on
00:20:40
charges of first-degree murder a warrant
00:20:43
was immediately issued for Sheryl
00:20:45
Holland's arrest on the same charges
00:20:48
investigators began to track her
00:20:50
movements in the days just after the
00:20:52
killings Holland had left her children
00:20:55
with her mother and seemed to be
00:20:57
traveling alone
00:20:58
but authorities soon learned of a
00:21:01
mysterious man who had been apparently
00:21:03
following her at 9:30 p.m. 5 days after
00:21:07
the murder Holland was seen by a service
00:21:09
station attendant in Greenville
00:21:12
Tennessee hi can I help you I was going
00:21:14
to get some gas but I got I got to go we
00:21:17
have a witness that saw Miss Holland
00:21:19
talking to a male with a beard and a
00:21:22
black leather jacket driving a red and
00:21:24
white pickup truck Miss Holland didn't
00:21:27
seem to have any desire to talk to the
00:21:30
bearded man she left the scene and the
00:21:33
truck with a mail and it followed behind
00:21:35
her in the same
00:21:40
direction about an hour later an
00:21:43
eyewitness saw Cheryl she was using a
00:21:45
pay phone at a truck stop 12 mil from
00:21:48
the service station but at the time she
00:21:51
called her family she said that she was
00:21:53
2 hours from home later another witness
00:21:57
spotted two two people talking inside
00:22:00
Holland's pickup truck a man meeting the
00:22:03
same description of the bearded person
00:22:05
seen in the Greenville area had come to
00:22:09
Cheryl Holland's place of business on
00:22:11
the day before the
00:22:13
murders and she was seen writing this
00:22:15
man a check now whether or not that is
00:22:18
the same man whether or not a bearded
00:22:21
man has any involvement in this at all
00:22:23
of course would be idle speculation on
00:22:25
our part and we have no fact basis to
00:22:28
conclude that he
00:22:31
is Cheryl Holland was last seen at the
00:22:34
truck stop around 11:30 p.m. that same
00:22:37
evening whether or not she planned this
00:22:40
disappearance prior to the homicide or
00:22:43
whether or not The Disappearance was
00:22:45
impulsive I don't know but we as
00:22:47
prosecutors and investigators do feel
00:22:50
that she is alive and has assumed a new
00:22:52
identity somewhere you're innocent until
00:22:55
proven guilty and I don't think they're
00:22:57
giving her the benefit of the doubt as
00:23:01
much as I would like for her to be I
00:23:04
think that Eddie went
00:23:05
berserk and Cheryl was just there she
00:23:08
didn't know what to do if she did burn
00:23:11
the house it was the only way that she
00:23:13
could figure that she could get away
00:23:15
from Eddie until she could see that it
00:23:17
was safe for her and her babies she's
00:23:19
just going to have to go and and try to
00:23:21
help him I think Eddie or someone that
00:23:23
he knows has done something to her has
00:23:26
killed her
00:23:29
did Cheryl Holland stage her own
00:23:31
disappearance or did she meet with foul
00:23:34
play at the hands of the mysterious
00:23:36
stranger investigators had reached the
00:23:38
dead end until the night that this case
00:23:42
was broadcast on unsound
00:23:45
Mysteries
00:23:49
update Rolling Wood Texas 1,000 M from
00:23:54
Tennessee less than an hour after our
00:23:56
broadcast Cheryl Holland was captured
00:23:59
thanks to a viewer's tip she was
00:24:02
arrested at this convenience store where
00:24:04
she had been working for 6 months under
00:24:07
the assumed name Amy
00:24:09
Forester I asked her if she was Cheryl
00:24:12
Holland and she said yes and that that
00:24:15
was about it we put her in handcuffs at
00:24:16
that point placed her under
00:24:18
arrest employees of the store were
00:24:21
shocked to learn of their co-workers
00:24:23
double life the first thing I got to my
00:24:25
mind no that can't be her not not Amy
00:24:29
don't she said last night she say I'm
00:24:31
sorry I got myself into a mess and I
00:24:35
will get myself out of it
00:24:38
you just 4 days later Holland was
00:24:41
returned to Tennessee to face charges of
00:24:43
first-degree
00:24:45
murder both she and Edward wooden were
00:24:48
each convicted on two counts of
00:24:50
first-degree murder and sentenced to
00:24:52
life in prison they will not be eligible
00:24:55
for parole until the year year
00:25:02
2022 next you can't see it smell it
00:25:07
touch it or feel it but thousands of
00:25:09
people around the world are tormented by
00:25:12
this mysterious
00:25:15
[Music]
00:25:23
sound imagine hearing this sound every
00:25:27
every day everywhere you go in no fewer
00:25:31
than 10 countries on five different
00:25:33
continents over a thousand people have
00:25:36
reported hearing a similar low frequency
00:25:39
hum and no one knows what's causing it
00:25:43
the thing I noticed about it was it
00:25:44
didn't change the sound didn't change
00:25:46
like it was getting closer or further
00:25:48
away or or slowing down or speeding up
00:25:50
it was just a steady droning sound there
00:25:53
is a little bit of a a whne somewhere in
00:25:55
the background here and it's a it's it's
00:25:57
kind of like the air is sizzling I've
00:26:00
been hearing the hump for about 5 years
00:26:02
it sounds like a diesel engine running
00:26:05
parked away but yet it has a physical
00:26:06
effect it seems to uh make a sound
00:26:09
resonance in our sternum and our thorax
00:26:11
area it causes a vibration in temporal
00:26:14
Lo lobe and actually causes ear pain at
00:26:17
times and pain on the
00:26:19
earlobes how rudan was living on
00:26:22
Michigan's Upper Peninsula when he first
00:26:24
heard the
00:26:26
hum it All Began while he was studying
00:26:29
for a trade school entrance
00:26:32
exam I noticed it a few times before I
00:26:34
was studying but thinking that it was a
00:26:36
motor it wouldn't bother me that
00:26:40
much but then I noticed it affecting how
00:26:42
I could focus and how I could
00:26:44
concentrate that's when it really
00:26:45
started agitating me so I was able to
00:26:47
ignore it maybe for the first month or
00:26:50
two but after a while when I got closer
00:26:52
to the deadline of of this entrance exam
00:26:55
I started noticing this thing is really
00:26:56
affecting how I'm still studying it's
00:26:58
really affecting my thought process and
00:26:59
how I'm taking in information and it got
00:27:01
to where I couldn't tolerate it anymore
00:27:03
and I had to know what it
00:27:05
was before long Hal became obsessed he
00:27:10
set out on an exhausting search the
00:27:13
first few nights I went out looking for
00:27:14
it I went to the Natural places that you
00:27:16
would think a hum was coming from the
00:27:18
sewage pumping stations the airport the
00:27:21
ventilation systems on top of Michigan
00:27:23
Tech University any place that would
00:27:25
generate a sound finally I was driving
00:27:28
like 100 miles a night no matter where I
00:27:30
went the intensity was always the
00:27:33
same okay I have a tuning for and I'm
00:27:36
just going to sort of get an idea of how
00:27:38
well your ears line up with each other
00:27:40
so Unsolved Mysteries brought hell to
00:27:42
Los Angeles to be tested by Dr Eugene
00:27:45
flam one of the nation's leading ear
00:27:47
nose and throat
00:27:49
specialists airplane airplane cowboy
00:27:53
cowboy hell was found to be suffering
00:27:56
from some hearing loss but there was
00:27:58
nothing specific that might explain the
00:28:00
bizarre hum from what we learn today we
00:28:04
can't prove one way or the other whether
00:28:05
there are extraneous sounds in the
00:28:07
environment or within him those sounds
00:28:10
in the environment might be perceived by
00:28:12
him
00:28:13
differently than they really are because
00:28:17
of things going on in his system I'm
00:28:20
certain that I'm feeling something from
00:28:21
an outside Source I'm a yoga teacher
00:28:24
massage therapist a raer I've studied
00:28:25
acupuncture I'm very Weare the sounds
00:28:28
that my body makes and I know this isn't
00:28:30
my body producing
00:28:33
this Hal has tried just about everything
00:28:35
to escape the hum even hiding in the
00:28:38
Deep tunnels of an old abandoned
00:28:40
coppermind near his
00:28:43
home
00:28:44
yeah I hear
00:28:47
it I thought I could get away from it
00:28:49
down under all this rock it's
00:28:54
worse in tus New Mexico Sarah Allen has
00:28:58
been hearing the hum for 3
00:29:00
years this is a tape I developed as a
00:29:03
simulation of the phenomenon as I
00:29:05
experience it her skill as a radio
00:29:08
engineer enabled her to recreate the
00:29:10
noise so that the rest of us would know
00:29:12
exactly what it sounded like kind of
00:29:14
what it sounds like that's what I'm
00:29:15
going to
00:29:21
do we played Sarah tape for Winona
00:29:24
witted of nearby Santa Fe New Mexico
00:29:28
that's very close very very
00:29:33
close that's very close it it's uh it's
00:29:36
it's uh a little it's quite a lot more
00:29:39
pleasant than the than the jagged
00:29:43
grinding
00:29:45
glass uh Sensation that that or or sound
00:29:48
that would come
00:29:51
through for Winona 5 years of hearing a
00:29:54
constant hum has disrupted her life
00:29:57
she was forced to go on disability leave
00:30:00
from her job with the National Park
00:30:02
Service Today many of those who hear the
00:30:05
low frequency belong to an international
00:30:08
Network dedicated to finding the cause
00:30:12
of the mysterious noise we call
00:30:14
ourselves hearers but actually we don't
00:30:16
really feel like we're hearing we feel
00:30:18
like we're sensing and none of us we're
00:30:20
not protesters or we're not activists
00:30:22
it's it's not like we want to take the
00:30:24
day off of work and study Physics and
00:30:26
electromagnetic res resonance but it's
00:30:28
driving us nuts and we have the support
00:30:30
and exchange of information that we need
00:30:32
with each other and that's really been
00:30:34
helpful we began to keep notes not so
00:30:37
much a log book of every day because
00:30:39
it's there every day you write in the
00:30:41
log it's there today you know and that's
00:30:42
about all you can say about
00:30:44
it what we did start noticing was the
00:30:47
intensity increases which seem to track
00:30:51
international events mostly whenever the
00:30:55
United States is involved military
00:30:57
somewhere the intensity seems to
00:31:00
increase some believe the hum may be
00:31:03
caused by a US Navy radio system known
00:31:06
as elf short for extremely low
00:31:10
frequency the Navy developed elf to
00:31:13
better communicate with the nation's
00:31:15
submarine Fleet the system has been in
00:31:17
use since the late 1980s around the same
00:31:20
time that people in the US first began
00:31:23
to hear the hum I'm fairly convinced
00:31:27
that it is military not only because of
00:31:29
my own research but because of feedback
00:31:32
I've gotten from scientists from people
00:31:35
in the armed forces and other people who
00:31:39
I I can't name but who have come forward
00:31:41
to me and who have pretty much verified
00:31:44
my theories at least in
00:31:47
principle more research was needed so a
00:31:50
team of scientists traveled to Taos to
00:31:52
search with sophisticated sound and
00:31:55
radiation sensing equipment
00:31:57
they were unable to find anything
00:31:59
dramatic or unusual to explain the hum
00:32:03
They concluded that it was quote a
00:32:05
Bonafide scientific mystery that
00:32:08
deserves additional inquiry I'm hearing
00:32:11
the hum now and we have days where it
00:32:14
oscillates on different sides and today
00:32:16
it seems to be oscillating more on the
00:32:17
right side of my
00:32:19
body I don't believe how you can't hear
00:32:23
it or is it possible that more than a
00:32:27
thousand people around the world are
00:32:29
simply Imagining the same
00:32:32
thing what's wrong with the rest of us
00:32:35
are we missing something the elf program
00:32:39
came to an end in 2004 hell was near one
00:32:42
of the stations when it was powered down
00:32:45
Hal says that his ears popped his head
00:32:47
felt lighter and the intrusive sound
00:32:50
faded but did not completely go away and
00:32:53
for many others it has not changed at
00:32:56
all
00:32:58
coming up a hero who helped put the
00:33:00
notorious nightstalker Behind Bars has
00:33:14
disappeared previously we told you about
00:33:16
the strange disappearance of Angelo
00:33:19
desideri who owned a gift shop near
00:33:21
Phoenix
00:33:23
Arizona when Angelo failed to open his
00:33:25
store one Monday morning his friends
00:33:27
called the
00:33:28
[Music]
00:33:31
police his home was searched and it
00:33:33
appeared that Angelo had been
00:33:35
interrupted while preparing an afternoon
00:33:39
meal a neighbor said that he had seen
00:33:42
Angelo's Cadillac speed off on Sunday
00:33:45
the day before he disappeared it just
00:33:48
appeared to be a person taller than
00:33:51
Angelo it wasn't like Angelo to pull out
00:33:54
without acknowledging me
00:33:58
the following Monday 400 mil from
00:34:01
Phoenix His Cadillac was found on fire
00:34:04
in a San dieago parking lot gasoline had
00:34:07
been used to set the
00:34:10
fire we looked in the trunk and found
00:34:12
absolutely nothing in that trunk that
00:34:13
would have been there other than the
00:34:14
Jack no carpet No padding no spare tire
00:34:19
basically this tells us that there could
00:34:20
have been something in the vehicle that
00:34:22
was transported in the vehicle and when
00:34:24
it was taken out they took the carpet
00:34:26
and the padding and WRA it all in one
00:34:27
unit and took everything out of the
00:34:28
vehicle including the spare
00:34:31
tire for over 8 months investigators and
00:34:34
friends were puzzled about the motive
00:34:37
for Angelo's
00:34:38
disappearance and then the Phoenix
00:34:40
police charged a local resident joseppi
00:34:43
Joe callow with two felony counts
00:34:46
relating to The Disappearance of Angelo
00:34:49
desideri apparently Angelo and callow
00:34:51
had been involved with organized crime
00:34:54
and Angelo wanted out callow was ordered
00:34:58
to eliminate Angelo and he brought in a
00:35:00
man named James Majors to do the job Joe
00:35:04
callow told us that all the information
00:35:06
he had was told to him by James Majors
00:35:10
during the interview of Joe Kell he
00:35:13
stated that Majors went to the house got
00:35:16
into the house by ringing the doorbell
00:35:17
and asking for a glass of water then
00:35:20
took Angelo at
00:35:22
gunpoint and robbed the
00:35:25
house he was taken out of the house at
00:35:28
that time by majors and driven out into
00:35:30
the desert callow claims that somewhere
00:35:34
between Phoenix and San Diego Majors
00:35:36
murdered Angelo placed the body in the
00:35:39
trunk of the Cadillac and continued on
00:35:41
toward San
00:35:45
Diego the following
00:35:48
morning Majors goes to a hardware
00:35:53
store where he purchased a pick and a
00:35:55
shovel
00:36:00
according to C Majors drove down a
00:36:02
desert back road and buried Angelo near
00:36:05
a large tree but until they can find a
00:36:07
body police could not confirm if cow was
00:36:10
telling the truth and they had no case
00:36:13
against James
00:36:15
Majors
00:36:17
update the remains of Angelo deser were
00:36:21
found by campers in California just as
00:36:24
Joe callow described they were buried in
00:36:26
a shallow grave near a large tree dental
00:36:29
records confirm the identity deser had
00:36:33
been shot once in the
00:36:35
head James Majors was not charged with
00:36:38
Angelo's death he had already been
00:36:40
sentenced to death for three other
00:36:44
murders Joe callow was a suspect in
00:36:47
several other killings to avoid the
00:36:49
death penalty he pled guilty to
00:36:51
arranging the murder of Angelo desideri
00:36:54
call was given multiple life sentences
00:36:56
for Des der's murder and six other
00:37:00
contract
00:37:06
killings in the summer of
00:37:08
1985 Los Angeles was paralyzed by fear a
00:37:12
serial killer dub the nightstalker had
00:37:15
committed a series of brutal rapes and
00:37:18
murders the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
00:37:20
Department assigned a 120 member task
00:37:23
force to the case detectives inter
00:37:26
viewed thousands of witnesses and
00:37:28
checked out all possible leads but the
00:37:30

detectives Gil Kio and Carlos Aila the
00:38:10
man identified himself as alandro
00:38:13
Espinosa the individual that he wished
00:38:15
to identify he knew as Richard or by a
00:38:18
moniker that he knew on the streets as
00:38:21
thebado uh which translated into English
00:38:24
means the uncombed one he tells me about
00:38:26
all these burglaries he commits
00:38:28
Alejandra was telling us about
00:38:30
burglaries where Richard had told him
00:38:33
about that coincided with the murders
00:38:34
that we were investigating where there
00:38:36
had been a murder burglary what's he
00:38:38
generally do with the property that he
00:38:39
takes on the burglaries he takes it to
00:38:42
the fence and I can show you where
00:38:44
that's at I know where the house is at I
00:38:47
don't know where the address is that
00:38:49
information that he had that we had not
00:38:51
heard coming from other individuals that
00:38:53
were calling in and it was information
00:38:55
that we knew that perhaps only the
00:38:57
suspect himself or Associates of the
00:39:00
suspect might
00:39:02
know Alejandra told detectives that on
00:39:06
several occasions he had accompanied the
00:39:08
man he knew as Richard to a house in the
00:39:10
Echo Park area of Los
00:39:15
Angeles according to Espinosa Richard
00:39:18
entered the house alone and exchanged
00:39:20
stolen property for cash Alejandro
00:39:24
became suspicious and
00:39:27
uh as he said had put two and two
00:39:29
together after realizing that a lot of
00:39:32
the property that Richard had taken on
00:39:34
days that he had talked about doing a
00:39:36
recent burglary Alejandro had read in
00:39:38
the paper that coincidentally there had
00:39:40
been another burglary or another
00:39:42
homicide that the quote unquote
00:39:45
nightstalker had been attributed to uh
00:39:48
he finally realized that his friend whom
00:39:51
he knew as Richard was in his opinion
00:39:54
the
00:39:55
nightstalker
00:39:57
3 days after their meeting with Espinosa
00:39:59
detectives made a positive match of a
00:40:02
fingerprint tanket from one of the
00:40:03
nightstalkers crime scenes with
00:40:06
25-year-old Richard Ramirez because
00:40:09
Ramirez had a prior arrest record there
00:40:12
was a booking photo on
00:40:15
file as soon as we got that booking
00:40:18
photo we then went to Alejandro out on
00:40:21
the
00:40:21
streets showed him a copy of the booking
00:40:24
photo yeah that's Richard you positive
00:40:27
I'm positive no doubt that's him when
00:40:30
Alejandro identified the mug shot that
00:40:32
we displayed for him we knew that we
00:40:34
were talking of one of the same person
00:40:37
and that Richard was the man we were in
00:40:38
fact looking
00:40:40
for the following morning a photograph
00:40:42
of Richard Ramirez was printed on the
00:40:45
