Carson City
00:01:34
Nevada Sandra Jennings receives an
00:01:37
urgent call from her brother Clarence oh
00:01:39
hi Clarence Clarence is trying to locate
00:01:41
his 16-year-old daughter Natasha who was
00:01:44
visiting from California
00:01:47
Natasha I had called home my sister
00:01:50
answered the phone I asked her if TSH
00:01:52
was home she set the phone down she
00:01:54
peaked out the back door didn't see her
00:01:57
so she went upstairs oh my God
00:02:02
are
00:02:05
Natasha that's when I heard her
00:02:07
scream Clarence I found Natasha she's on
00:02:10
the floor she's not breathing I told her
00:02:13
we'll hang up right now call 911 I'm on
00:02:15
my way a
00:02:19
call Natasha Jennings was already dead
00:02:22
when the paramedics arrived ultimately
00:02:24
three theories about the cause of her
00:02:26
death would emerge drug abuse sexual
00:02:29
assault and Foul Play but to this day
00:02:33
how Natasha Jennings died remains a
00:02:37
mystery when Natasha Jennings was very
00:02:39
young her parents divorced Natasha lived
00:02:42
with her mother in Southern California
00:02:45
but by the time she was 16 Natasha
00:02:48
wanted to reconnect with her father
00:02:50
Clarence she had hoped an extended visit
00:02:53
to his home in NADA would Bridge the
00:02:55
years of separation I told her know it
00:02:57
first
00:03:00
but then I I didn't want to put her in
00:03:01
the middle of you know our
00:03:04
disagreements what I feel towards her
00:03:06
father is my own business and um it
00:03:09
doesn't involve her that is her father
00:03:12
Sandra Natasha's aunt was the last
00:03:14
person to see Natasha alive they ate
00:03:17
lunch together at around
00:03:19
1:00 later that afternoon Clarence
00:03:22
placed several cause to his daughter hey
00:03:25
TSH it's me dad still trying to find you
00:03:27
he became more and more worried when he
00:03:30
couldn't reach
00:03:32
her when police arrived at the scene
00:03:35
they found Natasha as her aunt had found
00:03:38
her slumped across the bedroom floor her
00:03:41
hair was damp as if she had taken a
00:03:43
shower and an electric fan lay on top of
00:03:47
her anytime you have a a young
00:03:50
individual that's deceased for no
00:03:53
specific apparent cause or Reason uh
00:03:57
it's suspicious it's treated as a
00:03:58
homicide until such time as we can shift
00:04:01
gears and and say that it's something
00:04:05
else there were no signs of trauma still
00:04:08
investigators turned her attention to a
00:04:10
young man Natasha had become close to
00:04:14
we'll call him Chris allegations had
00:04:16
been raised that Chris sexually
00:04:19
assaulted her just days before guys do
00:04:23
you know this the investigation revealed
00:04:25
that Natasha and Chris went to a party
00:04:27
together a few nights before she died
00:04:30
those who had been drinking were invited
00:04:32
to wait until morning to drive home no
00:04:35
one saw what Natasha and Chris did the
00:04:37
rest of the
00:04:43
night good morning good morning take
00:04:46
care okay okay according to ingred kotar
00:04:50
a friend in California a confused and
00:04:52
traumatized Natasha called the following
00:04:55
morning to tell her something had
00:04:57
happened after the party what's up
00:05:01
Natasha told me she had blacked
00:05:04
out from she was drinking and she had
00:05:06
blacked out and that Chris had uh raped
00:05:10
her do you know where Natasha lives I
00:05:13
don't remember Chris was interrogated
00:05:16
but detectives concluded that whatever
00:05:19
happened between him and Tasha could not
00:05:21
be considered
00:05:23
criminal the autopsy report was
00:05:25
conclusive that that she was not
00:05:28
sexually assaulted
00:05:31
as soon as Natasha's mother learned
00:05:32
about her daughter's death she rushed to
00:05:35
Carson
00:05:36
City and I spoke with everybody that she
00:05:41
was around I went to places that she had
00:05:45
been I handed out flyers th I mean
00:05:49
thousands upon thousands upon
00:05:51
thousands and then one day a woman
00:05:54
approached her at a shopping center with
00:05:56
some new
00:05:58
information oh I was at the shopping
00:06:00
center passing out flyers when a woman
00:06:02
approached me what is
00:06:03
it daughter what do you know she was
00:06:06
very scared desperate please help me
00:06:08
anything that you know she was very uh
00:06:10
skittish and watching over her shoulder
00:06:12
and and uh she says um I know what
00:06:16
happened to your daughter she wrote a
00:06:18
telephone down she goes here she goes
00:06:19
call
00:06:20
me the woman claimed that Natasha's
00:06:23
father Clarence was a drug informant for
00:06:26
local law enforcement she said his C had
00:06:29
been blown and that drug dealers killed
00:06:32
Natasha in retaliation my ex-wife had
00:06:35
asked me is there any possibility that
00:06:38
uh they might have had something to do
00:06:40
with it in retaliation for my being an
00:06:43
informant for the police
00:06:45
department
00:06:47
and my jaw dropped I I've never never
00:06:51
been an informant for the police
00:06:53
department Natasha's relatives
00:06:55
confronted one of the Carson City
00:06:57
detectives assigned to Natasha
00:07:01
and we asked him if you know if he was
00:07:04
aware that Clarence was uh or Natasha's
00:07:07
father was a an informant you know and
00:07:10
he didn't deny it at all he said yes he
00:07:13
was aware of it I can say based upon our
00:07:16
records CL JS was
00:07:19
not nor was he ever a documented
00:07:21
informant for either
00:07:23
agency how long have you known Natasha
00:07:25
Jennings but soon another theory emerged
00:07:30
do you ever see Natasha use any kind of
00:07:32
drugs no TSH would never use drugs
00:07:35
investigators thought that Natasha might
00:07:38
have overdosed on
00:07:41
drugs a scrap of plastic recovered on a
00:07:44
landing outside Natasha's bedroom
00:07:47
contained traces of speed and cocaine
00:07:50
and there was a small amount of the
00:07:53
drugs in her nose the cocaine and
00:07:56
methamphetamine can lead to increased
00:07:59
body
00:08:00
temperature
00:08:02
hyperthermia I think she probably took a
00:08:04
bath to cool down and she was then in
00:08:07
the process of drying her hair when she
00:08:09
collapsed most likely a
00:08:14
spasm is they said she was on a 5-day
00:08:17
drunk and drinking sex
00:08:21
party and I was like
00:08:23
uh-uh now I just I know my
00:08:27
daughter she wouldn't have used
00:08:30
during the autopsy the medical examiner
00:08:33
found no drug residue in Natasha's
00:08:36
system if you snort cocaine on Monday
00:08:40
and you're deceased on
00:08:42
Friday and we do a
00:08:44
toxicology we may find remnants of the
00:08:47
drug perhaps in your nose or or maybe in
00:08:49
an injection point or something like
00:08:50
that but the actual toxicology of your
00:08:54
blood and urine and whatnot may may
00:08:57
produce a zero uh
00:09:00
uh am out today the investigation has
00:09:04
hit a dead
00:09:05
end all I wanted was
00:09:08
answers for somebody to talk to me and
00:09:10
explain to me what's been going on with
00:09:11
her but nobody will nobody
00:09:14
has the unfortunate part
00:09:17
is I don't have an answer for the
00:09:20
mother this girl was 16 years old she
00:09:23
had her entire life ahead of her and we
00:09:26
don't have any
00:09:28
answers we don't have the bottom
00:09:30
[Music]
00:09:32
line I didn't want her to
00:09:34
go and I was kind of mad at myself
00:09:38
because I had felt
00:09:40
it and didn't take heed to those
00:09:44
emotions I had actually sent her a note
00:09:46
telling her that I wanted to come home
00:09:49
she didn't make it
00:09:51
back officially the investigation into
00:09:54
the death of Natasha Jennings is still
00:09:56
open if you have any information
00:09:59
please contact us at uno.com
00:10:06
next some experts claim that this is a
00:10:09
videotape of a UFO Skeptics are not
00:10:22
convinced if you saw a UFO you might
00:10:25
worry that you were going crazy but what
00:10:28
if someone then showed you a videotape
00:10:31
of exactly what you had seen well it
00:10:34
might just convince you that you weren't
00:10:36
going crazy after
00:10:39
all West Carlton Ontario
00:10:43
Canada it was around 10 p.m Diane lack
00:10:47
had just put her children to bed and her
00:10:49
husband was out running an errand when
00:10:51
the dogs began to
00:10:54
[Music]
00:10:57
help I walk right to the window and I
00:11:01
saw flames right on the back of the
00:11:04
field extremely red flames and lots of
00:11:08
smoke it didn't look like a fire I know
00:11:11
what a fire looks like when you start a
00:11:13
fire out there and the grass was very
00:11:15
dry so if you start the fire you will
00:11:17
see it moving whether this way or closer
00:11:19
to the woods and the fire was standing
00:11:21
on one spot
00:11:22
[Music]
00:11:23
only I saw a ship coming down close to
00:11:27
the flames right on top of the ship I
00:11:31
saw a a blue flashing light and another
00:11:34
light was on the bottom very bright I
00:11:37
didn't know what to
00:11:39
do I was looking at it about 10 minutes
00:11:42
or
00:11:43
so and then the ship went a little bit
00:11:46
back over the trees and it disappeared I
00:11:49
saw all the Flames turn out at the same
00:11:53
time I don't think I'd like to see it
00:11:55
again it's very scary I lived here for
00:11:58
many many years and I have never been so
00:11:59
scared in my
00:12:01
life it did enter my my mind to phone
00:12:04
the police when this was all over I came
00:12:07
to the telephone but I said what am I
00:12:09
going to tell him I'm going to tell him
00:12:10
I have seen flares out there at 10:00 or
00:12:13
past 10:00 at night and there was a ship
00:12:16
up there who is going to say okay Diane
00:12:19
that's fine we're coming over so I I
00:12:22
that's why I didn't I didn't
00:12:26
call according to Diane 10 minutes after
00:12:29
of the lights abruptly blinked out a
00:12:31
helicopter appeared it flew low to the
00:12:34
ground over the field where Diane had
00:12:36
seen the Unexplained lights after
00:12:39
crisscrossing the area it passed over
00:12:41
Diane's house and disappeared into the
00:12:48
night the next morning Diane explored
00:12:51
the empty fields around her house
00:12:53
searching for evidence of the previous
00:12:56
night's
00:12:57
events I search everything there was no
00:13:00
marks there was no spots there was no
00:13:02
matches there was just nothing the only
00:13:06
person I told is my mom and my husband
00:13:09
it kind of bothered me inside for a long
00:13:11
long time not to come up forward and say
00:13:13
it to um to anybody but when I went when
00:13:17
I went out on the field and I could not
00:13:19
find anything who is going to believe me
00:13:21
that this really happened so I kept it
00:13:24
to
00:13:26
myself 6 months after Dian hands
00:13:29
encounter a package from Canada arrived
00:13:32
at the office of Bob exler one of the
00:13:34
foremost UFO researchers at the time
00:13:37
these incidents were
00:13:40
reported the package had no return
00:13:43
address inside were secret military
00:13:46
documents pictures a map and a videotape
00:13:49
of the incident at West
00:13:52
Carlton on the label uh was the name
00:13:55
guardian and it was accompanied by a
00:13:58
fingerprint
00:14:00
Guardian to me was was an enigma
00:14:02
certainly nothing I had heard about in
00:14:04
the UFO literature uh so uh it was a it
00:14:07
was a mystery starting from
00:14:11
scratch at the time exler was unaware of
00:14:14
Dian sighting but he would later find
00:14:17
that the videotape accurately showed
00:14:20
what she had reported seeing the tape
00:14:23
showed a cluster of brightly burning red
00:14:25
Flames similar to flares to their right
00:14:29
hovered a dark dislike object emitting a
00:14:32
bright glow from its Underside the
00:14:35
object was capped by a rapidly strobing
00:14:38
blue light I got a sense initially that
00:14:42
this was a real event occurring in a
00:14:44
field as opposed to some prop set up in
00:14:46
a room
00:14:47
somewhere I kind of had a sense I might
00:14:50
be dealing with something that was
00:14:52
potentially authentic
00:14:55
here the map that was included in the
00:14:57
package directed to West Carlton Ontario
00:15:01
he went there with UFO researcher Graham
00:15:07
Lightfoot can you tell us exactly what
00:15:10
you saw that night when they interviewed
00:15:12
Diane she described exactly what was in
00:15:15
the guardian video tape yes I've seen a
00:15:18
bright light uh she had not seen a tape
00:15:21
she had no idea what we knew and yet she
00:15:24
was able to describe things that we
00:15:26
already knew from the tape
00:15:31
it's one of the clearest videos I've
00:15:33
seen that show a structured object Dr
00:15:36
Bruce macabe a US Navy physicist and
00:15:39
photo analyst has studied UFOs for years
00:15:44
and here's the Beacon Light the blue
00:15:46
light evidently a reflection down here
00:15:48
on the body of the craft the outline of
00:15:50
the object itself that you can see some
00:15:52
sort of dark lines that appear uh some
00:15:55
brightness structure indicating
00:15:56
something generating light is hanging
00:15:59
down below the object it's generating
00:16:00
green light as well as blue light
00:16:02
probably there is other structure in
00:16:04
there which however the glare from this
00:16:06
bright light is blurring out Dr mcabe
00:16:09
believes that the tape is not a
00:16:13
fraud the section of the video which
00:16:15
shows the object is sort of appearing
00:16:18
over a a rise uh is quite convincing to
00:16:22
me as a would be what you would expect
00:16:24
if somebody were in the field trying to
00:16:26
get closer to it and
00:16:29
not knowing how close he could get and
00:16:32
so he turns on his camera while he's
00:16:34
walking he knows he's going to come up
00:16:36
over a rise and see it and you can see
00:16:37
in the video farther and farther down
00:16:39
until you see the uh the whole
00:16:41
device suddenly the light coming towards
00:16:44
him gets brighter and brighter you get a
00:16:45
great big diffuse reflection or image in
00:16:48
the camera which suggests to me that uh
00:16:50
this object shined a beam a blue beam
00:16:53
right at him Dr mcabe estimates the
00:16:56
object to be 20 to 30 ft in diameter too
00:17:00
big to be a horse it appeared to be so
00:17:04
large that it would not be logical to
00:17:07
try to set all this up at night under
00:17:10
Darkness there would have been evidence
00:17:12
during the day of movement of generators
00:17:14
of somebody hauling cables maybe a big
00:17:18
apparatus or something that they would
00:17:20
have had to bring in there uh for for
00:17:22
for that night uh clearly if there was a
00:17:25
hoax
00:17:27
involved Diane would have seen evidence
00:17:29
of it in
00:17:30
[Music]
00:17:31
advance audio analysis of the tape
00:17:34
revealed only the distant barking of
00:17:36
dogs probably
00:17:42
Diane's the craft itself seemed to be
00:17:45
silent there was no audible trace of
00:17:48
power generators which if the object was
00:17:51
staged would be necessary to run its
00:17:53
massive
00:17:55
lights Dr Robert Nathan of NASA's jet
00:17:58
propulsion laboratory reviewed the tape
00:18:00
in a non-official capacity he could not
00:18:04
explain the images or dismiss the tape
00:18:07
as a
00:18:09
hoax after the incident low-flying
00:18:12
helicopters cruised over West Carlton on
00:18:15
a regular basis the helicopters were
00:18:18
black green or maroon in color they were
00:18:21
unmarked and had Darkly tened Windows
00:18:24
the Canadian military denies any
00:18:27
involvement when where the helicopters
00:18:29
came from or what they were searching
00:18:31
for remains of
00:18:34
mystery the helicopters that are used in
00:18:38
this area of Canada do not fly low in
00:18:44
that
00:18:45
area there are no requirements for our
00:18:48
military helicopters to go and fly near
00:18:50
private citizens property like
00:18:56
that the key to the entire incident lies
00:18:59
with the person using the name Guardian
00:19:03
I think Guardian has to be connected to
00:19:05
the event in some way I don't see any
00:19:09
way Guardian could have just happened
00:19:12
onto this I don't see Guardian as a UFO
00:19:16
investigator Guardian is much more
00:19:18
involved in this than the evidence even
00:19:21
suggests in my
00:19:27
opinion what's supposed military
00:19:30
documents that arrived with the
00:19:31
videotape rais serious questions about
00:19:34
Guardians credibility the papers allege
00:19:37
far-reaching
00:19:39
conspiracies involving UFOs red China
00:19:43
and nuclear
00:19:44
weapons there was some question
00:19:46
immediately with regard to the
00:19:48
authenticity of the documentation it
00:19:50
didn't look like it was a a typical
00:19:52
government document even Canadian
00:19:54
government documents of which I had no
00:19:56
familiarity at the time this document is
00:19:59
clearly a fabrication uh there are way
00:20:01
too many errors uh in the document to
00:20:04
make it authentic someone with very
00:20:07
little effort could have come a lot
00:20:09
closer than
00:20:11
this included on the videotape are
00:20:14
images which Guardian claimed show an
00:20:17
alien
00:20:18
being clearly this could have been
00:20:21
someone dressed up in a costume but that
00:20:24
posed a major question if in fact the
00:20:27
video image of the disc were authentic
00:20:31
why would anyone uh contaminate such an
00:20:35
extraordinary event with uh fake images
00:20:38
of of alien
00:20:41
creatures although the video arrived
00:20:43
with questionable material many experts
00:20:46
believe that the events shown on the
00:20:48
tape did indeed take
00:20:53
place what really happened in the fields
00:20:56
of West Carlton well over only Guardian
00:20:59
can answer that
00:21:01
question this is either an extraordinary
00:21:04
top secret flying vehicle of somebody's
00:21:08
government or it is of a non-human
00:21:16
origin having no contact with Guardian
00:21:19
is probably the biggest frustration to
00:21:21
an investigation like this we don't know
00:21:23
who Guardian is what Guardian
00:21:26
represents uh we don't know if Guardian
00:21:29
was sent or went on his
00:21:32
own we have no idea what the the
00:21:36
solutions to many of these Mysteries are
00:21:38
going to be we may never
00:21:41
know if you are guardian or if you have
00:21:44
any information about who he or she
00:21:47
might be please contact us at

area say
00:23:09
it when it made the headlines the case
00:23:11
of Thomas hotard and odd remote became
00:23:14
one of the most Sensational stories in
00:23:17
the country but the Louisiana swamps
00:23:20
won't give up their secret even today
00:23:23
nobody knows what really
00:23:27
happened the news paper obituaries in
00:23:30
1956 described Thomas hotard as a
00:23:33
hardworking Family Man active in the
00:23:35
church and with the Boy Scouts he worked
00:23:38
for a local Chemical Company and it was
00:23:41
there that he met Audrey
00:23:45
Mo Audrey was a recently divorced mother
00:23:48
15 years younger than
00:23:51
Thomas in addition to their work the two
00:23:54
shared an interest in scouting and were
00:23:56
often seen together in town organiz
00:23:58
izing their troops
00:24:01
activities my mother was a woman that
00:24:04
was way ahead of her time she was a
00:24:05
single parent in
00:24:08
56 and she was a kind of woman that was
00:24:12
very loving very
00:24:13
giving perhaps she was the best friend I
00:24:15
ever
00:24:17
had Thomas was married but he and Audrey
00:24:20
fell in love their risky Affair was a
00:24:23
dark
00:24:24
secret Audrey told her family that she
00:24:27
had to work every Saturday but it was a
00:24:30
lie for 2 years Thomas told his wife
00:24:33
that he too was working on Saturdays
00:24:36
neither family knew that Thomas and
00:24:38
Audrey spent these stolen days together
00:24:43
took me forever to get the baby to sleep
00:24:45
we used to go on picnics together he
00:24:46
taught me how to develop film was there
00:24:48
on my birthdays I thought they were
00:24:50
friends I didn't realized they were
00:24:52
lovers um I found out later when I read
00:24:55
the newspaper accounts I just thought
00:24:57
they were friends
00:24:58
[Music]
00:25:00
on Saturday November 25th Thomas and
00:25:03
Audrey met in L plaz around 7:30 a.m.
00:25:06
they then drove to the edge of Lake
00:25:14
ponr ironically that Saturday was
00:25:17
Audrey's birthday a special day that
00:25:20
would end in
00:25:22
tragedy police estimated by morning's in
00:25:25
Thomas hotard had been shot to death and
00:25:28
OD remote had vanished
00:25:35
forever when the hunter made his Grim
00:25:37
discovery that next morning he went
00:25:39
straight to sheriff Percy abar who was
00:25:42
the first to arve at the
00:25:45
scene Thomas had been killed by a single
00:25:48
shot from a 16 gauge shotgun fired at
00:25:50
Point Blank Range through the side
00:25:55
window once Sheriff AAR began to
00:25:57
investigate at the crime scene he made
00:26:00
some unusual
00:26:02
discoveries scattered on the ground were
00:26:04
the partial contents of a woman's purse
00:26:07
they were later identified as
00:26:09
Audrey's inside the car Sheriff abar
00:26:13
found the car keys still in the ignition
00:26:15
and women's clothes crumpled on the
00:26:18
floor from the articles of clothing that
00:26:20
were found in a car the only she could
00:26:22
have been wearing was a bra and a slip
00:26:25
her sweater her underwear her stockings
00:26:27
her uh shoes skirt all of that was in
00:26:30
the car the car had the bed made down in
00:26:33
it in other words it was one of those
00:26:34
old nashes that had a bed that could be
00:26:36
Fold It Down um the evidence indicates
00:26:39
that they were probably in the act of
00:26:42
making love when the murder
00:26:46
occurred it looked like Audrey had tried
00:26:49
to escape spilling the contents of her
00:26:51
purse in the process 50 yard from hot
00:26:54
tart's car Aber found Footprints made by
00:26:57
small bare feet just behind them was the

00:27:08
set of car keys was

00:27:16
located Audrey's car parked next to the
00:27:18
cafe where she had met hotar the keys
00:27:22
found at the crime scene fit the
00:27:24
ignition
00:27:32
everybody was buzzing was talking about
00:27:34
it they all had their own theory of what
00:27:37
happened they all had idea of who could
00:27:39
have committed the murder they all had
00:27:41
an idea of where Audrey Mo was and they
00:27:45
all wanted to help the sheriff because
00:27:47
they saw a woman answering that
00:27:49
description going door too and all kinds
00:27:52
of confusion believe me confusion Reigns
00:27:54
Supreme about that time
00:28:01
2 weeks after her disappearance Audrey's
00:28:03
former mother-in-law received the
00:28:05
strange phone call hello Mom Audrey Mom

restaurant around the same time that Mrs
00:28:27
Mo received received the phone call was

00:28:32
said that she recognized Audrey from
00:28:34
seeing her picture in the paper Audrey
00:28:37
appeared to be very tired and she left
00:28:39
the restaurant when she realized that
00:28:41
the waitress was watching her this was
00:28:45
the last reported sighting of Audrey
00:28:51
mot next a surprising deathbed
00:28:55
confession reveals the details of what
00:28:58
happened to Thomas hotard and Audrey
00:29:07
moot in
00:29:09
1956 two Hunters stumbled upon a
00:29:12
gruesome crime scene in an isolated area
00:29:15
of
00:29:18
Louisiana Thomas hotard had been killed
00:29:21
by a gunshot blast his lover Audrey Mo
00:29:25
was nowhere to be found
00:29:28
investigators had no leads and the case
00:29:31
went
00:29:36
cold as the years went by this
00:29:39
Sensational story slipped from the
00:29:41
headlines and then more than 20 years
00:29:43
later a dying man told his family that
00:29:47
he knew what happened to Audrey and
00:29:49
Thomas the question remains was he
00:29:53
telling the
00:29:55
truth you remember that hotard fellow
00:29:58
got killed in the swamp but ain't
00:30:00
nothing in that swamp goes on what I
00:30:02
don't know just months before he died
00:30:05
Ernest aosta claimed that his common law
00:30:08
wife Caroline schleser murdered Thomas
00:30:11
hotard and Audrey Mo he said that he
00:30:15
knew this because he helped dispose of
00:30:18
Audrey's body Caroline died in 1979 and
00:30:22
it was Caroline what shot both those two
00:30:31
Ernest and Caroline lived less than a
00:30:33
mile from the murder
00:30:35
site aosta was known to sit in his front
00:30:38
yard and take pot shots at anyone who
00:30:42
came close to his
00:30:45
house my father was a very mean
00:30:49
person he would grab the gun show it to
00:30:53
you and then tell you what the hell you
00:30:56
want and then if he didn't like what you
00:31:00
wanted or what you said he would tell
00:31:03
you hit the road
00:31:06
Jack Caroline was in the same
00:31:12
manner she slept with a gun underneath
00:31:15
her pillar at all
00:31:20
times Ernest said that Thomas and Audrey
00:31:23
came to his house at least two
00:31:26
times they were there again the evening
00:31:28
before Thomas's body was found they
00:31:31
argued with Caroline but no one knows
00:31:35
why my father said that they knew
00:31:38
something about Mrs Caroline Slusher
00:31:43
what you want here hot Todd what they
00:31:44
knew I do not know all right make sure
00:31:47
this is the last time boy come
00:31:50
on and you better watch your maners and
00:31:53
don't talk that trash talk in my house
00:31:55
Ernest says that he was away when Audrey
00:31:57
and Thomas arrived but he rushed home
00:32:00
after Caroline phoned
00:32:07
him according to Ernest Caroline had
00:32:10
killed Thomas and Audrey he claimed that
00:32:13
he and the neighbor took Thomas's body
00:32:15
to the site where it would later be
00:32:17
found and then they tied Audrey's body
00:32:20
to an old Civil War Cannon and dumped it
00:32:24
into the
00:32:25
swamp but to Earnest a Costa's daughter
00:32:28
Marvel the details just didn't add on I
00:32:32
told him I said Daddy how could you all
00:32:35
have killed uh Mrs Moz and Mr hotard
00:32:39
because Mr hotard was killed in the car
00:32:43
he said believe what you want to
00:32:46
believe I'm telling you what
00:32:50
happened Ernest acosta's daughter is not
00:32:53
the only one who doubted the
00:32:55
story Deputy Wayne Norwood believes the
00:32:59
real killer wasn't Caroline it was
00:33:02
Ernest
00:33:04
aosta I think that uh this was his way
00:33:08
of telling what had happened but not
00:33:11
letting the kids know that he actually
00:33:13
did the
00:33:17
murder my theory is that he had been
00:33:21
watching them and this particular time
00:33:23
that that he was watching them and uh
00:33:26
probably got excited I think it was a uh
00:33:28
sex
00:33:36
[Music]
00:33:50
[Music]
00:33:51
crime there were no tire marks according
00:33:54
to the
00:33:56
investigation and uh
00:33:58
he only had to to take her about a mile
00:34:00
to the house so this would be why there
00:34:03
was no tracks and a quick
00:34:09
disappearance the scene of the crime has
00:34:11
changed
00:34:12
considerably the actual spot where
00:34:14
Thomas hotar died is now 100 yd offshore
00:34:19
why he was killed remains a mystery and
00:34:22
AUD remote her fate remains hidden in
00:34:26
the murky swaps surrounding late pona
00:34:30
train I think it's always going to be in
00:34:34
the back of my mind in in my
00:34:37
heart to want to know what
00:34:44
happened I hope that whatever happened
00:34:49
that it was quick that she didn't suffer
00:34:53
that she wasn't put through a
00:34:55
lot but I need to
00:34:59
[Music]
00:35:02
know next a man charged with DUI

them white was transported to a nearby
00:36:34
hospital he had a fractured jaw a broken
00:36:37

00:37:43
have stayed there and he should have
