00:02:57
recently unsolved mysteries travelled to
00:03:00
Lourdes as well to bring you a story
00:03:02
that began nearly a century and a half
00:03:04
ago with a girl named Bernadette
00:03:11
Bernadette Soubirous was the oldest
00:03:13
child of a poverty-stricken Miller her
00:03:16
family lived in Lewis then an obscure
00:03:18
French village at the foot of the
00:03:20
Pyrenees Mountains just 30 miles from
00:03:22
the border of Spain On February 11th
00:03:26
1858 Bernadette claimed that in a grotto
00:03:29
just outside town she encountered a
00:03:31
beautiful vision a woman dressed in blue
00:03:34
and white at the woman's command
00:03:39
bernadette began to dig and unearth the
00:03:41
spring many believed that Bernadette's
00:03:44
vision was a blessed virgin and the
00:03:46
spring offered a promise of divine
00:03:48
healing nobody is obliged to believe in
00:03:54
words but I think when you really look
00:03:58
and examine all the facts all the words
00:04:02
all the gestures that surround all these
00:04:04
events that took place in 1858 I think
00:04:10
it's very difficult really not to be
00:04:12
moved by it in some way
00:04:18
in 1933 the Vatican declared Bernadette
00:04:21
Soubirous was Saint a basilica was
00:04:24
erected over the grotto where she had
00:04:26
found the spring through the years
00:04:30
Lourdes has developed a reputation for
00:04:32
healing both the spirit and the body
00:04:37
[Music]
00:04:45
today pilgrims wait patiently sometimes
00:04:48
for hours to immerse themselves in the
00:04:50
waters from Bernadette spring hoping for
00:04:52
a miracle
00:04:53
a date the Roman Catholic Church has
00:04:57
documented 65 miracles at Lourdes one of
00:05:01
those cured is Jean fatale the senior
00:05:07
people they met me below did marvelous
00:05:10
things for me I am NOT here to tell you
00:05:15
to believe just I am here to tell you
00:05:19
what happened to me and believe me it is
00:05:23
a stranger adventure Jean fatale saga
00:05:28
began in the city of Rennes in northern
00:05:30
France in 1937 when she was taught III
00:05:35
and working as a nurse Jean was stricken
00:05:38
with a gruesome illness mysterious and
00:05:40
origin her abdomen grew rock-hard and
00:05:44
was excruciating ly painful to the touch
00:05:52
blood oozed from her nose
00:05:54
her mouth and her intestines it was a
00:06:04
terrible illness
00:06:05
from the tuna system it was a constant
00:06:09
trial when the doctor says there is
00:06:12
nothing I can do for you you just have
00:06:15
to wait patiently
00:06:22
in 11 years
00:06:24
Jean under what 13 operations nothing
00:06:27
helped
00:06:28
eventually Jean was diagnosed with
00:06:30
tuberculosis for which there was no
00:06:33
known cure on four different occasions
00:06:36
her priests administered last rites
00:06:39
finally two of John's friends insisted
00:06:42
on taking her to Lourdes so sure was her
00:06:45
doctor that John's death was imminent he
00:06:47
advised her friends to take a coffin
00:06:49
with him
00:06:58
by the time John arrived at Lourdes she
00:07:01
had been virtually comatose for three
00:07:03
months her bandages had to be changed 20
00:07:06
times a day doctors there felt hopeless
00:07:09
about her condition so Jean was
00:07:11
immediately taken to Mass at the
00:07:13
Basilica one of the priests who served
00:07:18
Mass that day father Albert Rock
00:07:20
remembers vividly who would he come in
00:07:23
Yemen on Thal Aviv on devotion
00:07:31
when I approached shore I asked myself
00:07:34
would she be able to take all the
00:07:36
Communion or would she vomit Hills
00:07:46
father Rock tried to force a tiny piece
00:07:49
of the wafer between John's lips finally
00:07:53
one of Sean's friends assisted she one
00:08:01
minute I closed her mouth myself and she
00:08:05
instantly opened her eyes if she looked
00:08:08
at me and asked that I know what the
00:08:14
normal form
00:08:22
and don't Debbie mom a stunt animal I
00:08:26
repeat instantly the moment I purchased
00:08:31
him up and her lips met one she opened
00:08:35
her eyes and that moment she came out of
00:08:38
the coma she had been in during July
00:08:42
August September and October Jean was
00:08:48
moved into the grotto itself there under
00:08:52
the watchful gaze of a statue which
00:08:54
stands on the very spot where Bernadette
00:08:56
Soubirous saw the Blessed Virgin Jean
00:08:59
says something extraordinary happened
00:09:01
[Music]
00:09:06
they relay please I had the feeling that
00:09:09
somebody was taking me under the arms to
00:09:12
sit me up and I turn around to see who
00:09:15
it was that helped me and thank them I
00:09:19
had that feeling again this time the two
00:09:24
invisible hands were taking my two hands
00:09:27
and putting them on my stomach I was
00:09:32
instantly and permanently cured
00:09:45
[Music]
00:09:51
seniority deliver the Lord says ask and
00:09:54
you shall receive but I never ask
00:09:57
I received without asking you believe me

00:10:04
you just like that
00:10:05
oh my god poor girl what happened what
00:10:11
an adventure soon Jean could stand for
00:10:17
the first time in years she was taken to
00:10:20
bathe in the water from Bernadette
00:10:22
spring
00:10:23
[Music]
00:10:37
the next day a group of doctors gathered
00:10:41

savvy de queijo Rivoli PMS well yes evil
00:11:29
virtually every symptom of Jean's
00:11:31
illness had disappeared upon lady what
00:11:35
do men get taken free even the doctors
00:11:41
released Jean on November 1st 1948 she
00:11:44
returned to her own City and her own
00:11:46
doctor the same doctor who just three
00:11:49
weeks earlier had ordered that a coffin
00:11:51
go with her on the train de lourdes the
00:12:02
path we a professed atheist the doctor
00:12:07
was dumbfounded
00:12:09
is he liking and it was then he took me
00:12:12
in his arms big tears rolling down his
00:12:15
cheeks and he said i do not believe in
00:12:18
miracles yet I have to believe because
00:12:21
you should be no grave today after more
00:12:26
than eleven years of nearly unbearable
00:12:28
pain and suffering Jean fatale was
00:12:31
finally able to resume a normal life she
00:12:35
became well-known as a dedicated
00:12:37
tireless nurse in 1950 Jean took vows to
00:12:41
become a Benedictine nun no traces of
00:12:46
her illness returned the church referred
00:12:49
John's case to the National Medical
00:12:50
Committee of Paris made up of both
00:12:53
believers and non-believers very
00:12:57
rigorous comparison was made between her
00:13:00
medical status which was well documented
00:13:02
before the illness and her medical
00:13:04
status after the illness the medical
00:13:08
bureau's findings were then to say in
00:13:10
our eyes this according to science is
00:13:13
just an explicable they then passed on
00:13:15
these findings to the church the same
00:13:19
year the archdiocese officially declared
00:13:22
Jean foretells cure mmm
00:13:25
today at the age of 80 John continues to
00:13:29
live the miracle devoting herself to
00:13:31
physically challenged young people who
00:13:33
make the pilgrimage to Lourdes
00:13:40
seonyu qua from you if you believe in it
00:13:43
good for you if you do not believe in it
00:13:46
too bad it is true I tell about my
00:13:50
healing fifty a hundred times a day
00:13:54

00:13:58
everything is for the Lord without I
00:14:02

[Music]
00:14:07
in 1975 arraign at chiavari and her
00:14:11
family moved to Phillipsburg New Jersey
00:14:14
arraign was a freshman in high school
00:14:16
active and popular but that November
00:14:19
when she was 14
00:14:21
Lorraine was stricken with a mysterious
00:14:23
illness in him
00:14:26
[Music]
00:14:29
Lorraine's doctor was stumped she could
00:14:31
barely hold her head up her eyes rolled
00:14:33
involuntarily she couldn't keep food
00:14:36
down arraign was hospitalized for tests
00:14:41
but over and over again her Paris hopes
00:14:44
were dashed by the lack of a diagnosis
00:14:46
did you get the results yes they were
00:14:50
negative but we're gonna do another test
00:14:52
this afternoon what kind of tests it's
00:14:54
called an electroencephalograph it was
00:14:56
very frightening every day you went to
00:14:58
the hospital and you saw this child and
00:15:00
you saw her getting weaker and sicker
00:15:03
and there was no answers they couldn't
00:15:06
give her medication because they didn't
00:15:07
know what to give her
00:15:09
steadily you know you can see the color
00:15:12
in her eyes or leaving you can see her
00:15:14
color is changing you see the weakness
00:15:16
getting worse and if nothing you can do
00:15:20
it's just another test maybe this one
00:15:23
will give us the answer but all else
00:15:25
failed a psychiatrist examined Lorraine
00:15:27
eTools at a loss for answers finally the
00:15:31
rains Paris talked to a friend who
00:15:33
reminded them about the baths at Lourdes
00:15:39
on March 15th 1976 Lorraine made the
00:15:43
pilgrimage to Lourdes accompanied by her
00:15:45
parents and grandmother
00:15:51
according to Lorraine's parents her
00:15:53
kidneys had begun to fail and the rigors
00:15:56
of the trip left her weaker than ever
00:15:59
[Music]
00:16:06
she kept saying please mommy I felt I
00:16:16
was doing something to this child and I
00:16:19
should have stayed in the States what
00:16:21
was I doing here in a strange country I
00:16:23
couldn't speak the language she's so
00:16:28
deathly sick okay she can rest here
00:16:36
Louise Barrett an American volunteer was
00:16:38
asked to stay with the edge of areas she
00:16:43
suggested that Lorraine's family takes
00:16:45
some time alone
00:16:46
while the rain waited to visit the baths
00:16:49
why don't you go for a walk or take a
00:16:51
rest or something no need to worry she'd
00:16:55
be fine we're fine here it's okay this
00:16:59
family absolutely needed some help and
00:17:02
what I did kind of as a reaction was to
00:17:05
try to be as calm as I could to allow
00:17:09
the parents to have some time to be away
00:17:12
just so that everyone would have a
00:17:14
breathing space because they seemed to
00:17:15
be a family that was just an absolute
00:17:17
crisis when they arrived I think at that
00:17:21
point death looked like a welcome relief
00:17:24
to me I would have accepted it and I
00:17:26
guess I felt it was very near
00:17:32
I'll be right here okay the rain began
00:17:35
to drift in and out of sleep she says
00:17:37
she had a dream a vision which made her
00:17:40
feel that everything would be all right
00:17:42
the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want
00:17:46
in verdant pastures he gives me repose
00:17:49
within seconds next thing I knew I was
00:17:52
standing next to my body and I was
00:17:57
walking with a beautiful woman
00:17:59
I never saw her face I don't know who it
00:18:01
was and just remember we were walking
00:18:03
with about four or five feet above the
00:18:05
ground I remember her saying to me I
00:18:11
must go back now and I said I I don't
00:18:15
want to go back that body is dying and
00:18:17
she said yes you must go back to prove
00:18:21
to others he still exists today and I
00:18:27
remember putting my head down and then I
00:18:30
was back in the room and I was back in
00:18:33
my body and I opened up my eyes and my
00:18:35
mom was standing over me and we
00:18:38
proceeded to get ready to go down to the
00:18:41
baths at that time
00:18:49
lorraine was so ill that a complete
00:18:51
immersion in the waters seemed out of
00:18:53
the question
00:18:55
even though church officials at Lourdes
00:18:57
say it never happens
00:18:58
Lorraine's best recollection is that the
00:19:01
attendants poured water over her head
00:19:05
Lorraine's mother kept vigil reading a
00:19:08
prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes the Virgin
00:19:10
Mary I tried to do everything I could
00:19:15
while she was sick I did the fasting and
00:19:18
the prayers and everything in furniture
00:19:20
to pray for us I could actually
00:19:25
physically feel a release within myself
00:19:28
in my chest area that I didn't even know
00:19:32
the tightness existed until that moment
00:19:38
[Music]
00:19:47
when she was through with the bath and
00:19:49
came out she looked exactly the same
00:19:52
there was no change I did not expect
00:19:54
that she would be healed or cured I
00:19:57
expected that perhaps her family would
00:20:00
receive some consolation that perhaps
00:20:02
they would receive strength to make it
00:20:05
through whatever they had to go through
00:20:08
that evening
00:20:10
Lorraine's grandmother spent the night
00:20:12
in Laurens room hoping against hope that
00:20:14
her granddaughters condition would
00:20:16
improve I never stirred I never moved
00:20:23
and I was asleep before you know it and
00:20:33
then it was about five hours later I
00:20:36
woke up 11 o'clock at night and I was
00:20:39
starving
00:20:40
absolutely hungry I didn't have any pain
00:20:42
I just felt like I felt terrific I could
00:20:46
fly if I needed to I got up out of bed
00:20:50
and I looked at myself in the mirror and
00:20:52
I was me again I was Paul I was a
00:20:59
hundred percent and I just got it was
00:21:03
all I could do to for them to contain me
00:21:06
[Music]
00:21:11
her eyes they were beautiful the color
00:21:16
was in the face she had rosy cheeks and
00:21:19
she was so energetic and full of life
00:21:22
you knew that she was touched you stood
00:21:29
there and you were witnessing what God
00:21:31
just did I remember I'm sitting out the
00:21:35
window was about 1 2 o'clock in the
00:21:36
morning listening to the church that's
00:21:38
locally of chiming every hour and just
00:21:41
feeling so glad to be alive and to be
00:21:44
healthy and everything was just great I
00:21:46
was just I couldn't believe I was that
00:21:48
blessed
00:21:50
we don't died her sincerity but in the
00:21:54
case of Lorena Jefferies she never
00:21:56
underwent any
00:21:57
medical investigation after the healing
00:22:00
and so there would always remain in the
00:22:03
minds of the doctors and of the church a
00:22:05
certain kind of that we we appreciate
00:22:11
that the Lorraine believes that she has
00:22:13
truly been touched by God but we can't
00:22:17
give to her situation the same
00:22:21
qualification that we give to Jennifer
00:22:24
tell and recognizing the case of
00:22:26
Jennifer tell as indeed a miracle I
00:22:30
believe that I was healed at Lourdes and
00:22:33
that it is a miracle and there is I
00:22:36
believe with every ounce within me
00:22:38
Lourdes is a part of me now it is my
00:22:41
life and there is there is no doubt
00:22:43
whatsoever that I was touched and that I
00:22:47
was healed
00:22:52
[Music]
00:22:54
what are we to make of these two stories
00:22:57
at least two women and the thousands of
00:22:59
other people who believe that divine
00:23:01
grace touched their lives at lumens
00:23:03
[Music]
00:23:05
perhaps one answer can be found in the
00:23:08
song of Bernadette for those who believe
00:23:11
in God no explanation is necessary for
00:23:14
those who do not believe in God no
00:23:16
explanation is possible
00:23:20
[Music]
00:23:26
[Music]
00:23:36
recently we profile the case of Brian
00:23:39
brothel his neighbors in Vermont
00:23:41
considered him one of the most likable
00:23:42
these threatening people around Brian
00:23:44

Brian brothels secret life exploded into
00:24:41
view when authorities paid a surprise
00:24:42
visit to his farm inside the barn was a
00:24:52
crop of 2000 marijuana plants it was the
00:24:55
biggest bust in Vermont history
00:24:59
authorities estimated that bro feel
00:25:02
sophisticated pot plantation are grossed
00:25:04
up to a quarter of a million dollars a
00:25:05
month but the marijuana farm was only a
00:25:08
small part of an international
00:25:10
drug-smuggling operation brothel dropped
00:25:16
from sight immediately after the raid
00:25:17
and stayed hidden for more than three
00:25:19
years until unsolved mysteries came
00:25:22
along on the night brothel story aired
00:25:29
our phone center switchboards lit up
00:25:31
with calls from Paso Robles a central

California Alert viewers they're
00:25:36
recognized Brian bro Phil is one of
00:25:38
their neighbors local authorities
00:25:40
immediately moved in to make an arrest
00:25:42
but brothel had vanished again our
00:25:47
understanding is that Brian watched the
00:25:48
show the show aired at 8 o'clock and
00:25:50
Brian was gone at 8:15 he had left all
00:25:53

a handyman at local horse ranches and
00:26:05
became an accepted member of the
00:26:07
community ROFL never once drew the
00:26:10
attention of police he was living
00:26:13
comfortably with no fears we weren't
00:26:15
even close to him he could have wrote a
00:26:17
textbook on how to hide he was that good
00:26:24
but Brian bro Phil wasn't good enough
00:26:27
after Yvette Paso Robles viewer tips
00:26:29
helped authorities track the fugitive
00:26:31
south to Carlsbad near San Diego where

three weeks later Brian bro Phil was
00:26:40
extradited to Vermont if convicted on
00:26:43
all charges he faces a prison term of 20
00:26:46
years to life
00:27:00
it begins with an innocent evening out
00:27:03
suddenly you become aware that someone
00:27:06
is watching you then he is following
00:27:08
your car every move you make he makes
00:27:11
you are being stalked only later will
00:27:15
you learn that it was your license plate
00:27:17
that apparently triggered the stalker
00:27:19
and led to a deadly encounter April 29th
00:27:26
1991 a few friends got together for
00:27:30
grants in the suburb of San Jose
00:27:32
California one of the men in the group
00:27:34
was dick Hansen a former college
00:27:36
football star who was rebounding from a
00:27:38
tough divorce that night they could come
00:27:41
to the bar with a friend called G he was
00:27:48
in a very good mood very good I mean it
00:27:51
was like ham let's get like a new lease
00:27:55
on life is I don't know how else to
00:27:57
describe it but he was very he was very
00:28:00
happy with where he was he was very
00:28:01
happy with what was going on in his life
00:28:03
and where he was headed at 1:00 a.m.
00:28:07
dick and Jean left the bar together in
00:28:10
jeans car with dick driving around 1:30
00:28:13
they arrived at a restaurant in San Jose
00:28:16
where dick had left his pickup truck
00:28:17
after dinner there were no cars at all
00:28:20
and I thought I remarked to dick I said
00:28:22
this this is funny here's the only car
00:28:24
left on the street
00:28:27
want to come over I don't know you want
00:28:31
to get things started again so we were
00:28:34
sitting there talking and this car pulls
00:28:37
up behind us and I looked and I thought
00:28:41
I really didn't think it was too strange
00:28:43
because there was a mailbox on the
00:28:46
sidewalk there I think he's trying to
00:28:48
get to the mailbox but man just sat
00:28:57
there he didn't do anything and I kept I
00:28:59
was kind of half turned into the seat so
00:29:01
I could look at dick and I could see him
00:29:03
out of the corner of my eye do you think
00:29:11
he's a cop
00:29:13
and I'm that old thing despite genes
00:29:19
misgivings she and dick felt there was
00:29:21
no reason to worry about the man parked
00:29:23
behind them because gene was unfamiliar
00:29:26
with the route home dick suggested she
00:29:29
follow him at that point in time I
00:29:34
didn't say anything in dick didn't say
00:29:36
anything of course we didn't know what
00:29:37
was gonna happen well he pulled out I
00:29:43
pulled out the guy behind us pulled out
00:29:46
[Music]
00:29:52
we went up to the stoplight turn left
00:29:55
dick turn left I turn left the guy turn
00:29:57
left we got two blocks and turned left
00:30:04
again and he did the same thing
00:30:10
[Music]
00:30:16
well by this time is making me
00:30:18
uncomfortable so I moved to the middle
00:30:21
light he moved to this middle lane so I
00:30:25
moved back and he moved back I only did
00:30:29
it once but that was enough to tell me
00:30:30
that that this man was definitely
00:30:33
following us at the next traffic light
00:30:38
dick signals regime to follow him onto
00:30:41
the freeway
00:30:41
the man's take close behind a strange
00:30:45
encounter was about to escalate
00:30:51
other than 10 miles the man played a
00:30:54
risky game of cat-and-mouse coogee
00:30:56
shadow of every moon
00:31:02
dick was on the inside lane I was on the
00:31:06
outside and somehow we got the guy and
00:31:08
he was between us but behind us and I
00:31:11
thought all right you rascal
00:31:14
I'm gonna get you so I slammed on my
00:31:16
brakes I'll be doing if he didn't slam
00:31:19
on his brakes too it was almost like he
00:31:22
was reading my mind
00:31:24
[Applause]
00:31:33
[Applause]
00:31:38
[Music]
00:31:44
I almost missed the turn but he followed
00:31:48
this man was still behind me so I
00:31:54
followed dick down the ramp
00:31:56
we made a right-hand turn dick just
00:31:59
pulled over to the side of the road I
00:32:01
pulled up behind dick and I don't know
00:32:04
why in my mind I just knew this guy
00:32:06
would just go right on by and wave or
00:32:08
something
00:32:08
he pulled right up behind us and I'm not
00:32:11
sure who is in more shock dick or I
00:32:19
I've never seen before
00:32:21
get back in the car
00:32:23
so he walked back to the man and kind of
00:32:27
leaned down and he said what do you
00:32:30
either said what are you doing or what
00:32:32
do you want I couldn't quite hear what
00:32:34
he said and the guy said something to
00:32:37
him and dick goes what and the guy said
00:32:40
something else to him and then proceeded
00:32:42
to point to the back of my car at that
00:32:47
point in time dick just stepped back
00:32:49
stood up and went and raised his arm and
00:32:51
said get the blankety-blank out of here
00:32:54
so I jumped back in my car and I looked
00:32:58
in my rearview mirror and I I hear
00:33:01
pawpaw
00:33:12
and we just stared at each other must
00:33:16
have been four oh I'd say at least five
00:33:18
to ten seconds I'm just staring at him
00:33:25
[Music]
00:33:36
I got back out of the car and and ran
00:33:39
back to where dick was and his eyes were
00:33:43
like half closed and I tried to find a
00:33:47
pulse on his neck and I didn't look like
00:33:51
his breathing so I started to give him
00:33:53
mouth-to-mouth for 15 agonizing minutes
00:33:57
Jean tried to resuscitate dick police
00:34:01
and paramedics alerted by a passing
00:34:03
motorist would arrive too late
00:34:08
dick Hansen had been shot twice once in
00:34:11
the chest and once in the neck he never
00:34:13
regained consciousness and was
00:34:14
pronounced dead at the hospital he left
00:34:17
behind two daughters aged 11 and 13 as
00:34:23
far as we know dick Hanson did not know
00:34:24
his assailant what makes this particular
00:34:27
case extremely difficult is when you
00:34:31
deal with homicide most homicides boiled
00:34:33
down to common denominators of sex money
00:34:35
or drugs and network out from there we
00:34:39
have not been able to put this
00:34:41
particular homicide in any of those
00:34:43
categories so that we can develop a
00:34:45
motive however police have come up with
00:34:50
one possible theory about this case Jean
00:34:53
was a San Francisco football fan and her
00:34:56
personalized license plate read 49er
00:34:58
hugs the killer had gestured toward her
00:35:01
license plate while he was talking to
00:35:03
dick
00:35:05
dick Hansen's physical stature was that
00:35:08
of a football player so we were looking
00:35:10
into the theory of a disgruntled fan as
00:35:14
being one of the responsibles the
00:35:18
suspect is white possibly Hispanic or
00:35:20
Mediterranean in his late 30s or early
00:35:23
40s he was tan and wore eyeglasses with
00:35:26
large black frames the suspects vehicle
00:35:30
resembled a 1970 Pontiac GTO LeMans
00:35:33
2-door coupe with a dull faded light
00:35:36
grey or blue paint job when we returned
00:35:43
a devastating tornado leaves a path of
00:35:46
destruction of separates a family
00:35:48
perhaps you can help reunite them
00:35:57
they're about to meet a spry 86 year-old
00:36:00
woman named Ruby McDaniel ruby is a
00:36:03
matriarch of her clan at the annual
00:36:06
McDaniel reunion she is surrounded by
00:36:08
five children 15 grandchildren and 21
00:36:11
great-grandchildren but more than 75
00:36:14
years have passed since Ruby saw one
00:36:16
very special member of her family her
00:36:18
younger sister Vanessa perhaps tonight
00:36:21
one of our viewers can help end their
00:36:23
long separation
00:36:26
[Music]
00:36:28
the year was 1915 a blustery autumn day
00:36:31
in Murfreesboro Arkansas back Bradford
00:36:36
and his wife Ruth owned a small farm on
00:36:38
the edge of town they had two children
00:36:40
Ruby and Buster and a third was on the
00:36:43
way

[Music]
00:36:56
[Music]
00:37:02
- tornado coming rivals the horrifying
00:37:09
moments at follow remain etched in
00:37:11
Ruby's memory
00:37:12
nearly 80 years later it was dark and it
00:37:20
just a roller like a train or something
00:37:23

I was scared I didn't know what was
00:37:28

well pop him put everybody down and then
00:37:34
he laid down wrapped his arms around

00:37:49
Swedish state in mass if we would
00:37:51
probably got killed that day a killer
00:37:55
tornado ripped through Central Arkansas
00:37:57
ten were killed and 45 were injured
00:38:00
property damage was recorded that would
00:38:03
equal more than four million dollars in
00:38:05
today's economy at the Bradford farm the
00:38:09
garden post was just about the only
00:38:11
thing left standing even though the
00:38:13
house would be rebuilt the family would
00:38:15
soon suffer another tragic loss during
00:38:20
the tornado Ruth Bradford was severely
00:38:22
injured when she was struck by a wooden
00:38:24
beam a few months later while still
00:38:27
recuperating Ruth came down with yellow
00:38:29
fever and went into premature labor

00:39:21
a half washington confusion as a man and
00:39:23
a woman came to the house and took her
00:39:25
new baby sister away later Mac led Ruby
00:39:37
and Buster down to the cellar to try to
00:39:39
explain what had happened it was a one
00:39:41
place Mac knew they could be alone I do
00:39:48
remember him crying and he tried to
00:39:51
explain to us about her you know you
00:39:56
know we couldn't take care of her
00:39:58
so she's gonna go live with some nice
00:40:00
folks in town but even though she's not
00:40:04
with us we can still love him
00:40:07
and he thought he was doing the very
00:40:10
best he could do and I think he did I
00:40:13
don't want you to worry about that and
00:40:17
that's the only time I can remember my
00:40:19
papa
00:40:19
