00:00:05
tonight an unsolved mystery
00:00:08
her name is Dolly and her very existence
00:00:11
has set off a compelling debate
00:00:13
regarding the future of cloning how far
00:00:16
as science willing to go should cloning
00:00:19
be used to duplicate living human beings
00:00:21
can it be used to bring back the dead in
00:00:26
Los Angeles a young boy is rushed to the
00:00:28
hospital in a state of full cardiac
00:00:30
arrest two years later a little girl is
00:00:33
brought to the same ER unconscious and
00:00:35
battered a common link is this woman a
00:00:38
live-in nanny accused of murder and
00:00:40
assault he can pick up your set even
00:00:44
from a moving car
00:00:45
he's one of nature's original and best
00:00:47
detectives meet yogi the blood hub will
00:00:51
follow Yogi's he tracks a kidnapper and
00:00:53
his young victims it was codenamed
00:00:56
Operation Star Gate and it may have been
00:00:59
the most incredible espionage program
00:01:01
ever launched by our government David
00:01:03
Morehouse was part of it but Morehouse
00:01:05
claims he was no ordinary secret agent
00:01:08
he was a psychic spy for the CIA
00:01:12
join me for these fascinating new cases
00:01:15
and more on tonight's unsolved mysteries
00:01:25
[Music]
00:02:13
it is just a nondescript wooden building
00:02:16
but it was once headquarters for an
00:02:18
incredible clandestine operation the man
00:02:21
you're about to meet claims he was part
00:02:23
of that operation he was one of
00:02:26
America's psychic spies what I was
00:02:30
trained to do
00:02:31
is to transcend time and space to view
00:02:35
persons places or things remote in time
00:02:37
and space and to gather and report
00:02:39
intelligence information on the same and
00:02:41
some examples of those targets would be
00:02:43
soft targets which would be the mind of
00:02:46
a test engineer or of a design engineer
00:02:48
or of a military figure or a political
00:02:51
figure or hard targets which were
00:02:53
weapons research and development
00:02:54
facilities the locations of submarines
00:02:56
the locations of counter-narcotics
00:02:59
targets things of that of that ilk
00:03:04
I'm spiraling down approaching the
00:03:06
target
00:03:09
and in the middle of something just
00:03:11
outside of a big building there's a
00:03:15
great deal of activity here lots of
00:03:17
noise confusion I can't quite make out a
00:03:23
target location yet can you find the
00:03:27
target there's two armed guards
00:03:30
protecting the entrance to this building
00:03:32
good move there and let's see what we
00:03:35
find
00:03:38
moving through the door I'm going up
00:03:42
staircase
00:03:45
looks like there's enough no too
00:03:49
two more armed guards pass through the
00:03:53
wall and and describe the contents of
00:03:55
that room I sense there's going to be
00:04:01
some sort of trial or judgment that's
00:04:05
about to take place my god it's him it's
00:04:13
the target it is called remote viewing
00:04:21
the goal is to witness distant events
00:04:24
and gather information by harnessing the
00:04:26
psychic power of the mind for at least
00:04:29
two decades American intelligence
00:04:30
agencies employed this technique most
00:04:33
recently codenamed Stargate was a
00:04:35
top-secret espionage program the
00:04:37
government never wanted you to know
00:04:39
about David Morehouse certainly never
00:04:42
expected to be the man to blow the
00:04:44
whistle on it
00:04:49
David Morehouse was third generation
00:04:52
army the son and grandson of career
00:04:54
officers he graduated from Brigham Young
00:04:57
University at the top of his class his
00:04:59
background and ROTC training put him on
00:05:02
the military fast track by 1987
00:05:10
Morehouse was a company commander with
00:05:12
the Rangers the Army's elite fighting
00:05:14
unit in March of that year he was sent
00:05:17
to the Kingdom of Jordan to take part in
00:05:18
a desert training exercise but a stray
00:05:21
machine-gun bullet would soon change his
00:05:24
life forever the bullet lodged in
00:05:31
Morehouse's helmet knocking him out cold
00:05:33
it was then that he claims the
00:05:36
experienced division of overwhelming
00:05:38
power
00:05:38
I had a messenger or I could call it an
00:05:42
angel or a spirit that came to me during
00:05:46
this time that I was knocked out I had
00:05:48
spent some 13 years of my life
00:05:51
practicing the art and science of taking
00:05:54
human life and yet here I stood in the
00:05:56
presence of something who said to me
00:05:58
very vividly I recall said to me what
00:06:02
you have chosen in life the path you
00:06:04
have chosen in life is the wrong path
00:06:06
and you are now to choose a path of
00:06:09
peace and then it was over
00:06:15
but these sketches by morehouse are
00:06:17
testimony that it wasn't over he began
00:06:20
having horrifying dreams nightmares so
00:06:22
debilitating they drove him to an army
00:06:24
psychologist the psychologist suspected
00:06:28
the concussion had somehow released in
00:06:30
Morehouse a latent psychic faculty I
00:06:34
have hoped that this individual would
00:06:37
have me taken away and evaluated and
00:06:39
medicated and make it all stop instead
00:06:44
what he did do was walk over to a file
00:06:48
safe and pull out three blue folders
00:06:50
that were stamped top secret grill flame
00:06:52
and brought them over and proudly
00:06:55
presented them to me and set them on my
00:06:57
lap and said I would like you to review
00:06:59
these and I would like your analysis
00:07:01
tomorrow
00:07:03
the program was then codenamed grill
00:07:06
flame that night
00:07:08
Morehouse pored over the files
00:07:10
especially the transcripts of the remote
00:07:12
viewing sessions the verb is used was
00:07:16
almost frightening chilling passed
00:07:19
through the wall and described the
00:07:21
contents of the room that I mean that
00:07:23
made the hair stand up on the back of my
00:07:25
neck it intrigued me beyond any
00:07:29
description that I could possibly offer
00:07:30
and the next morning before the
00:07:32
psychologist ever even came in I was
00:07:34
standing at his door waiting to come in
00:07:37
and talk to him about it relax keep your
00:07:41
focus
00:07:42
David Morehouse volunteered to join the
00:07:44
unit working with a monitor he learned
00:07:47
to use biofeedback to control his
00:07:49
brainwaves and send his consciousness to
00:07:51
the far points of the globe I can feel
00:07:55
the warmth of the Sun on my back
00:07:59
in the cold on my nostrils that was
00:08:01
obviously apparitional inform and I was
00:08:04
hovering above whatever it was from a
00:08:06
very close distance and I was moving it
00:08:09
wasn't the object that was moving I was
00:08:11
moving across the object peeking drop in
00:08:16
sharply
00:08:19
hell I don't know I think it's a
00:08:21
mountain during practice sessions the
00:08:25
monitor placed a photograph of the
00:08:27
target site in an envelope across the
00:08:29
room his first time out David Morehouse
00:08:32
demonstrated yet genuine ability my
00:08:36
first target was Mount Fuji I was
00:08:39
shocked I didn't believe it in that
00:08:42
instant I had gone to Mount Fuji and was
00:08:45
describing what I saw smelled heard and
00:08:49
felt at that location over the next year
00:08:53
David Morehouse worked with seven other
00:08:55
remote viewers at operations Stargate
00:08:57
steadily refining his psychic talents
00:09:00
one of his most difficult assignments
00:09:02
came on February 17 1988 on that day
00:09:07
Marine Lieutenant Colonel William
00:09:09
Higgins was taken hostage in Beirut
00:09:11
Lebanon by a group of Shiite Muslims
00:09:14
Colonel Higgins was head of the United
00:09:16
Nations group monitoring the fragile
00:09:18
truce between Israel and Lebanon my god
00:09:22
it's him are you certain of course I am
00:09:27
this is Colonel Higgins English English
00:09:31
who sent
00:09:32
Morehouse says he and the other remote
00:09:35
viewers desperate to find Higgins began
00:09:37
a marathon series of psychic sessions
00:09:40
he's not doing well it's worse even
00:09:47
though we could see him being moved and
00:09:49
we could describe the his surroundings
00:09:51
in the room and the beatings and his
00:09:53
physical conditioning or his emotional
00:09:55
condition we still could not know we're
00:09:57
not ever able to provide an address that
00:09:59
would allow a rescue team to go in and
00:10:02
affect the hostage rescue he's gonna die
00:10:06
I can taste it
00:10:12
[Music]
00:10:16
Morehouse claims that the remote viewers
00:10:18
psychically sensed Higgins death a year
00:10:20
and a half into his captivity just a few
00:10:24
days later the kidnappers confirmed that
00:10:26
Colonel Higgins had been murdered more
00:10:28
than two years have passed before his
00:10:30
remains were recovered another major
00:10:35
challenge for the remote viewing unit
00:10:37
came just before Christmas in 1988 on
00:10:40
December 21st Pan Am flight 103 exploded
00:10:44
over Lockerbie Scotland killing all 259
00:10:47
people aboard 11 more on the ground
00:10:51
hours later were the cause of the crash
00:10:53
still unknown the remote viewers were
00:10:55
called in to an emergency session they
00:10:58
were not given any details or a specific
00:11:00
target only a set of coordinates their
00:11:03
vision would prove to be remarkably
00:11:05
similar
00:11:06
[Music]
00:11:08
29:38
00:11:11
I'm having difficulty focusing there's a
00:11:15
great deal of emotion here
00:11:19
[Applause]
00:11:22
I see people sitting in a row some
00:11:25
sleeping relaxing some moving about
00:11:32
I'm gonna call this one I'm looking at
00:11:35
the interior of an airplane that's it
00:11:41
[Music]
00:11:44
my god the entire plane is disintegrated
00:11:48
for us remote viewers it was a
00:11:51
tremendous emotional toll to us to watch
00:11:53
that catastrophic event take place and
00:11:55
to see the confusion of these souls that
00:12:00
were instantly there as they're
00:12:01
everything that was physical about them
00:12:03
plummeted to earth their souls remained
00:12:06
there in this ethereal state within a
00:12:11
day of the disaster Morehouse and the
00:12:13
other viewers had pieced together a
00:12:15
scenario they believed flight 103 was
00:12:18
blown up by a terrorist bomb hidden
00:12:20
inside a suitcase in the forward cargo
00:12:22
hold amazingly after two months of
00:12:27
detailed investigation the FBI and the
00:12:29
Scottish police came to that exact
00:12:31
conclusion at Fort Meade Morehouse
00:12:36
continued his psychic sessions but he
00:12:39
was becoming disillusioned he claims the
00:12:41
program's leaders were pushing the
00:12:43
remote viewers to use their minds as
00:12:45
tactical weapons we were starting to
00:12:48
develop the protocols to be able to
00:12:51
access the mind of another human being
00:12:52
for the purpose of destruction or death
00:12:55
and that is when I finally drew the line
00:12:57
and said I cannot any longer be a part
00:13:00
of this I can't see this tremendous gift
00:13:03
turned into a very powerful and
00:13:06
tremendous and very elusive dark weapon
00:13:09
which is what we were going to do with
00:13:10
it
00:13:11
[Music]
00:13:13
David Morehouse decided to violate his
00:13:15
security oath and go public the
00:13:18
government's response was swift they
00:13:20
threatened him with court-martial
00:13:22
Morehouse chose to resign his commission
00:13:24
and leave the army he eventually wrote a
00:13:27
book psychic warrior in 1995 the CIA
00:13:32
admitted the existence of operation
00:13:34
Stargate in the wake of the negative
00:13:36
publicity the program lost his
00:13:38
congressional support and was shut down
00:13:45
how greater the untapped powers of the
00:13:47
human mind can they release this from
00:13:50
the prison's of our bodies can remote
00:13:55
viewing be used to reveal the secrets of
00:13:57
the past the present even the future if
00:14:02
you believe David Morehouse the
00:14:03
potential is real ramifications both
00:14:06
awesome and ominous
00:14:14
coming up when researchers announced
00:14:17
that a sheep had been successfully
00:14:19
cloned controversy spread worldwide what
00:14:22
happens when science circumvents nature
00:14:24
but first the search for a fugitive
00:14:28
nanny suspected of assaulting the very
00:14:30
children and trusted to her care
00:14:33
[Music]
00:14:45
July 25th 1990 a silly nightmare for any
00:14:50
parent paramedics rushed four year old
00:14:53
Ashley Berman into an emergency room
00:14:54
outside of Los Angeles she was
00:14:57
unconscious and barely breathing I she
00:15:02
apparently had some sort of seizure and
00:15:04
fell and was at all it wasn't far she
00:15:08
just fell on the floor I don't know I
00:15:10
wasn't there and this was with the nanny
00:15:12
she had these seizures before yes she's
00:15:15
had him before but it's never been as
00:15:17
serious now a short time later the
00:15:19
doctor made a stunning accusation
00:15:21
Ashley had been physically assaulted
00:15:24
likely suspect her nanny my looked
00:15:30
Edmond said no way I said I don't know
00:15:32
what you're talking about
00:15:33
you know this she Rosa would never hurt
00:15:36
Ashley she took care of her we had
00:15:39
neighbors that would see Rosa and Ashley
00:15:41
at the park they would call me up and
00:15:43
tell me how lucky I was to have somebody
00:15:45
like Rosa I did not believe him with
00:15:52
more and more working couples facing a
00:15:54
daunting challenge of earning a living
00:15:55
and raising a family many parents have
00:15:58
been forced to rely on live-in nannies
00:16:00
to care for their children most of the
00:16:02
time it's a beginning of a loving and
00:16:04
wonderful relationship but every so
00:16:07
often as in the case of Jeff and Sharon
00:16:09
Berman Paras discovered that they have
00:16:11
unwittingly subjected their child to a
00:16:13
reign of terror
00:16:17
rosalie understand you worked for our
00:16:18
neighbor how how long did you work there
00:16:21
the Berman's met Rosa Hernandez in 1988
00:16:24
when she applied to be the live-in nanny
00:16:26
for two year-old Ashley that first day
00:16:29
Rosa was accompanied by her cousin who
00:16:31
helped to translate Rosa was very highly
00:16:41
recommended by various neighbors one
00:16:43
neighbor that she worked for a couple
00:16:45
years beforehand who swore by her that
00:16:47
said that she was wonderful
00:16:49
and she would be perfect to to watch our
00:16:52
daughter and that she had experience
00:16:54
with kids and she was very good at what
00:16:57
she did but how would Ashley respond to
00:17:01
Rosa the Berman's had the answer very
00:17:04
quickly when we brought Ashley down to
00:17:08
meet her
00:17:09
Ashley seemed to connect very well as
00:17:11
well as Rosa connected with Ashley so I
00:17:14
felt that this was definitely going to
00:17:16
work out and that does she be good with
00:17:19
Ashley
00:17:22
the next week
00:17:24
Rosa Hernandez moved in with the
00:17:26
Berman's from the outset she and Ashley
00:17:28
were practically inseparable everything
00:17:32
seemed to be working out fine Ashley
00:17:33
seemed to be very fond of Rosa we'd be
00:17:36
at a store and Ashley would always like
00:17:38
go over towards the gums and say can we
00:17:39
buy this for Rosa she always wanted to
00:17:41
buy things for Rosa and she'd always
00:17:43
talk about Rosa she always wanted to you
00:17:46
know make Rosa fee and feel happy for a
00:17:50
year all went well then however Ashley
00:17:53
began suffering from a series of
00:17:54
mysterious injuries at school every time
00:18:04
we asked Ashley what happened how did
00:18:06
you get this she'd always tell us it
00:18:07
happened at school that she heard her
00:18:09
hand on the swing that a little boy hit
00:18:11
her with a shovel a little child another
00:18:15
child hit her with a Barbie there was
00:18:17
always an answer that had happened at
00:18:19
school let's take a look here but in
00:18:21
February of 1990 it happened at home a
00:18:25
deep gash on Ashley's head that required
00:18:27
several stitches you fell down the
00:18:31
stairs of you there mom
00:18:32
no then Annie was with her what happened
00:18:38
according to Rosa
00:18:39
Ashley had been periodically blacking
00:18:41
out and experiencing seizures although
00:18:44
the Berman's never witness an episode
00:18:45
themselves they feared Ashley had
00:18:48
developed a serious physiological
00:18:50
disorder
00:18:52
we put Ashley through all kinds of tests
00:18:55
we put her through cat scans mris which
00:18:58
were very difficult to get a four and a
00:19:00
half year old child into an MRI with all
00:19:03
the tests they could find absolutely
00:19:05
nothing that related that she had any
00:19:07
tendency really towards seizures all
00:19:11
indications was is that she was a very
00:19:13
healthy child a few months later Jeff
00:19:18
Berman came home early from a walk to
00:19:20
find that his very healthy child and
00:19:22
once again been severely injured and
00:19:35
wasn't proceeded to tell me that Ashley
00:19:37
had fallen down she was wearing some
00:19:39
shoes she tripped and she fell down and
00:19:41
I felt comfortable that she had just
00:19:43
fallen I saw the shoes the shoes were in
00:19:45
the kitchen floor so when again the
00:19:48
scene was reenacted by Ashley it all
00:19:50
made sense just nine days later came
00:19:55
Ashley Berman's frightening brush with
00:19:57
death I thought how she's gonna die on
00:20:03
us by me I just looked at her she was
00:20:05
all pale hooked up and I thought one
00:20:09
girl is here and pretty much we were
00:20:11
told if she survived if she lived she
00:20:13
more than likely be [ __ ] or blind or
00:20:16
both
00:20:17
[Music]
00:20:20
give me a cat-scan full set 11 after I
00:20:24
examined Ashley I was suspicious that
00:20:27
Ashley might have been abused she had
00:20:30
some small hemorrhages in the retina
00:20:32
this is a condition that's associated
00:20:35
with shaken baby syndrome dr. Gillingham
00:20:38
decided to check into Ashley's medical
00:20:41
history and phoned her pediatrician I
00:20:43
have one of your patients here in Ashley
00:20:44
Berman showing signs of retinal
00:20:47
hemorrhage in kit it wasn't until I
00:20:50
spoke with Ashley's pediatrician that we
00:20:53
made a connection to a prior case where
00:20:56
the same caregiver had been involved in
00:21:01
taking care of a child who died of what
00:21:03
they thought might be child abuse for
00:21:06
the Berman's it was a shocking piece of
00:21:08
news two years earlier dr. Gillingham
00:21:11
had treated a 17 month old boy who was
00:21:13
rushed to the hospital in a state of
00:21:15
full cardiac arrest that day toddler had
00:21:19
reportedly been in the care of Rosa
00:21:20
Hernandez the Berman's knew of the
00:21:23
incident but I'd heard the boy choked on
00:21:25
a hot dog we were able to resuscitate
00:21:28
the child hits a child breathing and
00:21:31
with a good blood pressure and pulse the
00:21:33
child was subsequently admitted to the
00:21:35
hospital but then died within the next I
00:21:37
think 17 or 18 hours an autopsy revealed
00:21:42
that the boy had a fractured skull with
00:21:43
internal bleeding his death was ruled a
00:21:46
homicide however there was not enough
00:21:48
evidence to file charges against Rosa
00:21:50
Hernandez now with Ashley Berman
00:21:53
fighting for her life
00:21:54
police believe they had a case against
00:21:56
Hernandez she was charged with child
00:21:58
abuse and murder
00:22:03
now roses first reaction was she looked
00:22:06
at me with an evil look in her face and
00:22:07
said why mister why I love Ashley I love
00:22:12
Ashley and then they let her out Ashley
00:22:19
spent a full week in the hospital and
00:22:21
eventually made a complete recovery
00:22:22
today she is 11 years old more than
00:22:25
willing to talk about her experiences
00:22:27
with Rosa Hernandez she used to push me
00:22:32
down the steps she would I would hide a
00:22:36
remote control to get her back and so
00:22:38
she took silverware and hid my nails and
00:22:41
she would also take her earrings and
00:22:44
poke them through my nails and she would
00:22:48
bang my head against the walls the doors
00:22:50
and the wood forest in March of 1991
00:22:55
Rosa Hernandez pleaded guilty to
00:22:57
involuntary manslaughter and child abuse
00:23:00
despite protests from the Berman's she
00:23:03
was released on her own recognizance and
00:23:05
promptly disappeared I believe that it's
00:23:09
been long enough period of time that she
00:23:11
feels safe and I fear that that's true
00:23:15
because if it is she's back in the
00:23:18
States and she may be babysitting right
00:23:20
now another child that's going to fall
00:23:22
victim to her abuse today some seven
00:23:28
years after her traumatic ordeal
00:23:30
Ashley Berman has a younger brother and
00:23:32
sister and a bright and promising future
00:23:36
every time that I look at her I
00:23:39
visualize what could have been the fact
00:23:43
that she could have died
00:23:44
she could have been [ __ ] she could
00:23:46
have had majored learning disabilities
00:23:48
I'm very thankful that we were lucky
00:23:51
that Ashley is a normal healthy 11 year
00:23:55
old child today because she may not have
00:23:58
ever made it past four and a half she
00:24:00
would have been four and a half forever

return

police enlist the astonishing abilities
00:24:28
of yogi the bloodhound in the desperate
00:24:30
search for a little girl
00:24:33
[Music]
00:24:45
he doesn't ever bet he never went to the
00:24:47
police academy he doesn't even own a
00:24:49
uniform but when it comes to tracking
00:24:52
down criminals he's one of the best this
00:24:55
is Yogi a five-year-old purebred
00:24:58
bloodhound one of a thousand bloodhounds
00:25:00
currently working in law enforcement
00:25:02
forget all the modern investigating
00:25:04
techniques in this story yogi proves
00:25:07
that nothing beats a remarkable nose of
00:25:10
a bloodhound may 18th 1993 police in
00:25:16
Englewood Colorado a Denver suburb
00:25:18
searched door-to-door for five year-old
00:25:20
Ali barela's Ali was last seen playing
00:25:24
in the courtyard of the apartment
00:25:26
complex where she lived with her family
00:25:28
her babysitter went inside for a few
00:25:30
minutes when she returned Ali had
00:25:33
disappeared the search continued for
00:25:37
four days but police could not find a
00:25:39
single clue
00:25:40
finally they turned to an age old
00:25:43
crime-fighting tool I had never been
00:25:46
exposed to the bloodhounds and the work
00:25:49
that they do and it was it was certainly
00:25:53
something anything we could try to do to
00:25:55
find this little girl as news cameras
00:25:59
roll yogi the Bloodhound and his handler
00:26:01
k-9 officer Geri Nichols went to work
00:26:05
yogi took Ali sent from clothing she had
00:26:07
recently worn then started moving he
00:26:13
first went up the stairs zeroing in on a
00:26:16
single apartment
00:26:17
Ali's home it was a good sign Yogi was
00:26:20
on the right track I wanted to have hope
00:26:24
that this bloodhound would be able to
00:26:26
find our granddaughter from the balcony
00:26:29
and the second floor I was watching the
00:26:32
dog work and I felt there was a sort of
00:26:37
comfort that I felt because I felt now
00:26:39
they're gonna find her you know now
00:26:41
they're gonna find her and they've gotta
00:26:43
find her alive yogi 'la Gerry out of the
00:26:48
apartment complex and south down the
00:26:49
street the media crush followed close
00:26:53
behind recording every move
00:26:55
the dog wasn't bothered at all he didn't
00:26:59
care he was oblivious to everything
00:27:01
other than what he was doing because
00:27:02
he's happy doing it well the Bloodhound
00:27:06
is by instinct a tracker by Nature
00:27:10
it's something they they're bred to do
00:27:12
and they live to do their sense of smell
00:27:14
is just incredible the loose skin around
00:27:16
the face it just acts as a place for the
00:27:19
scent to be attracted to the skin folds
00:27:21
that gels the slobbering is is the
00:27:23
moisture that the tog is emitting will
00:27:26
actually help enhance that syn around
00:27:28
his face he's putting the moisture in
00:27:29
the air and those long dangling floppy
00:27:31
ears it kind of stirs it up in front of
00:27:34
him a scent trail whether animal or
00:27:39
human comes from thousands of dead skin
00:27:41
cells that are constantly being shed if
00:27:44
those cells are not swept away by
00:27:46
weather changes like snow rain or severe
00:27:49
winds the scent could remain clear for
00:27:51
up to a month when a dog is introduced a
00:27:55
specific scent to track he basically
00:27:57
focuses on that scent and forgets and
00:28:00
ignores the rest his job is this is the
00:28:03
scent I have to work this is what I'm
00:28:05
gonna go with as yogi followed Ally's
00:28:08
scent Jerry quickly recognized a
00:28:11
familiar pattern in the way the dog was
00:28:13
working for persons walking on foot
00:28:16
the scents a little bit stronger and
00:28:18
they're gonna stay by the sidewalk but
00:28:20
he is working wide between the street
00:28:23
and between the Front's of businesses
00:28:24
and he's still picking it up on the
00:28:26
fringes and seeing him do that before
00:28:29
just in my mind he was working a car
00:28:34
unbelievable as it seems we leave scent
00:28:37
trails even from fast moving cars the
00:28:40
skin cells shoot out through the car's
00:28:42
ventilation and exhaust system are
00:28:44
deposited on the side of the road or a
00:28:46
bloodhounds Louis can quickly pick them
00:28:48
up we've even done scenarios in training
00:28:53
where we'll put a person in a trunk
00:28:54
that's sealed up and they still can pick
00:28:56
it up his world is his nose
00:29:00
go get it come on yogi led the search
00:29:05
party south for several miles covering
00:29:07
almost 40 city blocks at the entrance to
00:29:11
a freeway he headed straight up the
00:29:13
westbound ramp
00:29:15
I was very skeptical if that dog was
00:29:19
doing anything other than going for a
00:29:21
walk but when he took that first ramp -
00:29:24
I 470 and did so was so much confidence
00:29:28
and I started to wonder you know maybe
00:29:30
the dog is really on to something here
00:29:33
now we're on the interstate as far as I
00:29:36
know we could end up coming around i-70
00:29:38
heading towards California oh I know
00:29:42
he's got something I mean that's why
00:29:43
he's coming this way but let's go the
00:29:51
search party drove west to the next exit
00:29:54
with the scent trail lead yogi further
00:29:56
down the freeway or off the exit ramp
00:30:01
where is he come up
00:30:04
I'm sure enough he kept on working and
00:30:07
he went past it so then we'd load him up
00:30:09
go to the next exit and we did the same
00:30:11
thing several times to save time and
00:30:15
effort the police decided to skip the
00:30:17
fourth exit and move on to the fifth
00:30:20
yoga quickly made it obvious that they
00:30:23
had overshot the mark and lost the trail
00:30:25
it doesn't have it here we're gonna have
00:30:29
to get back on the other side we've had
00:30:30
everything going westbound up to here
00:30:33
now it's not here come on where is he
00:30:36
come on
00:30:36
they backtracked one half-mile to the
00:30:39
previous exit yogi again picked up the
00:30:42
scent led them off the freeway he headed
00:30:45
in the direction of a wooded area Deer
00:30:47
Creek Canyon
00:30:47
[Music]
00:30:56
guitar the canyon is located here
00:30:59
southwest of the apartment complex rally
00:31:01
barela's disappeared yogi had been
00:31:04
trailing alley said over city streets
00:31:06
parking lots and freeways for more than
00:31:08
seven hours yet covered nearly 14 miles
00:31:12
no come on let's go come on pick it up I
00:31:15
know your heart come on let's go he was
00:31:19
slowing down a little bit a ton was
00:31:21
really dragging and he was really
00:31:23
slobbering and I could tell he was
00:31:25
getting hot come on come on the hound
00:31:30
has a drive unfortunately they will run
00:31:33
themselves to death if they get tired
00:31:35
they don't care they don't stop
00:31:40
I know it's hard come on that's a boy
00:31:42
come on the wit was clear yogi strength
00:31:46
was failing
00:31:46
yogi refused to stop
00:31:56
[Music]
00:31:58
he basically kept looking at me as to
00:32:03
why are we stopping I'm not ready to
00:32:07
stop I want to keep going this is my
00:32:09
track I want to get there it's kind of
00:32:14
hard for him he didn't really appreciate
00:32:17
me putting in love but I played him up
00:32:23
Gerry felt he had no choice yogi had to
00:32:27
rest before Gerry could bring the dog
00:32:30
back the next morning human volunteers
00:32:32
picked up the search within an hour they
00:32:35
knew why yogi had not wanted to quit the
00:32:37
body of Ally barela's was found less
00:32:40
than two miles from the point where yogi
00:32:42
had been forced to stop without yogi
00:32:49
Ali's body might never have been
00:32:52
discovered it I think at first that
00:32:55
didn't sink in because I was pretty
00:32:57
upset of fact that Ali was found dead
00:32:59
and then over time I realized everything
00:33:04
worked just right you know he was
00:33:06
started right the dog worked well and to
00:33:08
end up where he did it just yeah I was
00:33:12
totally amazed I I really couldn't
00:33:14
believe it at first because he was able
00:33:15
to found her we were able to at least
00:33:17
have a decent you know funeral for our
00:33:19
granddaughter we were able to view her
00:33:21
we were able to be there with her it was
00:33:25
something because we felt that uh we had
00:33:28
found her we had some we had a type of
00:33:30
joy that we felt ok everybody is here
00:33:33
again together Yogi's job was not over
00:33:39
Ali's killer on wood and he left behind
00:33:41
a single vital clue his scent
00:33:44
yogi took that set and trailed it back
00:33:47
to the same apartment complex where Ali
00:33:49
had lived the killer had apparently
00:33:51
returned to the scene of the kidnapping
00:33:55
the track was working so that focused
00:33:59
our investigation as to we were looking
00:34:01
for someone that had been in the same
00:34:03
area and brought our focus back to the
00:34:06
apartment building
00:34:10
police have not yet found Ali's killer
00:34:12
while the investigation continues Ali's
00:34:16
family and friends have set up a
00:34:17
foundation to donate bloodhounds to
00:34:19
police departments we were gonna do
00:34:23
something in memory of our granddaughter
00:34:25
and my thoughts were whatever
00:34:28
there were always bloodhounds available
00:34:30
minutes seconds you know after a child
00:34:34
is called in missing
00:34:35
what are those bloodhounds were would be
00:34:37
available would they be able to find a
00:34:40
child before that child gets hurt with
00:34:43
this one bloodhound had he been there
00:34:45
minutes after our granddaughter had been
00:34:47
abducted with this bloodhound have been
00:34:49
able to find our granddaughter right
00:34:50
there in somebody's apartment in the
00:34:52
apartment complex before she was hurt
00:34:55
these dogs have a purpose in law
00:34:57
enforcement I mean we're here out here
00:35:00
working for the communities and the
00:35:02
citizens and the citizens do not care
00:35:04
what it takes to get the job done they
00:35:08
just expect you to do everything you can
00:35:10
and if this is a tool to help us do that
00:35:13
that's what we do and that's how we
00:35:16
approach it and they really have done
00:35:18
some amazing things for us

the pitfalls of modern science she is a

00:36:06
when the fictional dr. frankenstein
00:36:09
built his monster from scavenge body
00:36:10
parts terrified filmgoers could still
00:36:13
remind themselves it's only a movie
00:36:17
if you would have guessed the gist
00:36:19
decades later science would be on the
00:36:21
brink of actually creating a human being
00:36:23
in the lab not out of parse but through
00:36:26
an extraordinary process known as
00:36:28
cloning once considered impossible
00:36:34
cloning is a dramatic advance that may
00:36:36
someday end the tyranny of diseases like
00:36:38
cancer and sickle cell anemia but some
00:36:42
fear we have opened a Pandora's box of
00:36:44
freakish possibilities that could allow
00:36:46
us to endlessly recreate ourselves or
00:36:49
even bring the dead back to life could
00:36:52
excite you that such matters are best
00:36:53
left to nature
00:36:57
simply put cloning is making an exact
00:36:59
copy and in nature it is hardly uncommon
00:37:03
when a fertilized egg divides and
00:37:05
separates the result is two embryos two
00:37:08
sets of identical genetic codes one set
00:37:12
of identical twins the challenge for
00:37:15
science was duplicating the process
00:37:17
artificially and at will
00:37:21
in the 1950s researchers took DNA from
00:37:25
one frog embryo and made a second frog
00:37:27
its exact genetic double by the 1980's
00:37:31
the same process had been used to create
00:37:33
cow and sheep embryos however scientists
00:37:37
couldn't engineer a clone from a fully
00:37:39
grown animal at least not until Dolly
00:37:43
the whole world now knows who and what
00:37:45
she is the first mammal ever cloned from
00:37:49
an adult with her birth in Scotland last
00:37:51
July researchers crossed an historic
00:37:54
threshold I have no doubt that we would
00:37:58
be able to take the technology that was
00:38:01
used in Scotland and perfected with
00:38:04
human eggs and within a few years with a
00:38:07
little bit of tinkering they'll be able
00:38:09
to clone human beings there is much
00:38:12
about cloning that we still do not know
00:38:14
that assuming possibility prompted an
00:38:17
immediate response from the president
00:38:19
human creation is not simply a matter of
00:38:22
scientific inquiry it is a matter of
00:38:25
morality and spirituality as well
00:38:28
therefore today I am issuing a directive
00:38:31
President Clinton's ban on federal
00:38:32
funding of human cloning research came
00:38:35
amidst rampant speculation that it was
00:38:37
not a question of if but when human
00:38:39
cloning would be a reality countries can
00:38:43
pass laws they can regulate they can
00:38:46
discourage in a very legitimate way but
00:38:49
they ultimately cannot control cloning
00:38:51
there's no way to prevent some
00:38:54
latter-day Victor Frankenstein from
00:38:57
cloning a human being if indeed she or
00:39:00
he chooses to do so the presumed
00:39:04
difficulty of imposing controls as
00:39:06
spawned dire predictions perhaps cloning
00:39:09
would lead to the creation of a
00:39:11
workforce of enslaved clones Arend and a
00:39:14
race of fiendish humanoids without souls
00:39:16
or perhaps the search for people to
00:39:19
clone will reach beyond the grave
00:39:22
it is possible to free cells and if the
00:39:26
cells are frozen properly you could
00:39:28
bring for example a dead person back to
00:39:31
life in the sense of bringing his genes
00:39:32
back to life people today could die have
00:39:36
their cells frozen down and potentially
00:39:38
in the future these people could have
00:39:40
clones of themselves born it's possible
00:39:44
to imagine that we could clone someone
00:39:47
from the past who was not just someone
00:39:50
who was good but also someone who was
00:39:52
extremely evil if for example someone
00:39:55
recommended that we cloned Adolf Hitler
00:39:58
the expectation would be that this would
00:40:01
be the same evil leader of the past but
00:40:05
what we know of course is that that
00:40:07
would be an impossibility
00:40:09
it is impossible because a clone of an
00:40:12
adult doesn't emerge from the lab as
00:40:14
another fully formed adult far from it
00:40:17
the clone begins as a microscopic embryo
00:40:20
floating at the bottom of a test tube
00:40:24
imagine him as someone did indeed
00:40:27
successfully clone
00:40:28
Adolf Hitler the embryo would have to be
00:40:31
implanted into a surrogate mother
00:40:33
carried for nine months until birth then
00:40:36
raised into adulthood
00:40:38
there is no way to know let alone
00:40:40
guarantee who that person would turn out
00:40:43
to be we don't know what produced Adolph
00:40:47
Hitler in the first place to what extent
00:40:50
was his genetic makeup to what extent
00:40:53
was it very small variations in
00:40:57
circumstances of his life the new person
00:41:00
that is born will look eerily like the
00:41:02
person that already exists but it will
00:41:04
be a different person
00:41:05
it'll have its own personality its own
00:41:07
soul the same limits apply to those we
00:41:11
might want to see cloned people like
00:41:13
Albert Einstein or Ben Franklin however
00:41:16
is tantalizing as it might seem to
00:41:18
resurrect the past the best use of
00:41:20
cloning appears to be in building the
00:41:22
future
00:41:24
the most obvious advantage of cloning is
00:41:27
for someone who cannot have children to
00:41:30
be offered the opportunity to have
00:41:32
children for such couples cloning could
00:41:36
be a godsend but others might see it as
00:41:39
an opportunity to cheat death by
00:41:41
recreating themselves there is the fear
00:41:45
that people might want to clone
00:41:48
themselves to achieve an immortality of
00:41:50
some sort and this is the worry that
00:41:54
somebody will clone themselves into a
00:41:56
child and then expect that child to live
00:41:58
the same life that they lived the lure
00:42:03
of immortality and the potential of
00:42:05
cloning could add up to an even more
00:42:07
appalling outcome the possibility of a
00:42:10
real-life Frankenstein there's the worry
00:42:13
in many people's mind that individuals
00:42:16
will want to clone themselves to be able
00:42:18
to use their so-called clones for body
00:42:21
parts if their body parts wear out later
00:42:23
in life every clone that is born is
00:42:26
going to be a complete human being the
00:42:28
person won't be a subhuman being in any
00:42:31
way whatsoever and if you took a book -
00:42:33
took a heart out of that person that
00:42:34
would be murder nothing less than murder
00:42:38
cloning is like a hammer you can use it
00:42:42
for good purposes or you can use it for
00:42:45
objectionable purposes you can use it to
00:42:48
build a house or you can use it to bash
00:42:51
someone over the head cloning has the
00:42:55
potential for providing a real service
00:42:59
to humanity once we have gotten over the
00:43:03
shock of the more startling
00:43:05
possibilities we will come to the
00:43:07
realization that genuine advantages may
00:43:11
attach to it the scariest cloning
00:43:16
scenarios do seem unlikely at least for
00:43:19
now but as we learned with splitting the
00:43:21
atom scientific advances can give rise
00:43:24
to unintended consequences with human
00:43:27
cloning all but inevitable this is a
00:43:29
time for researchers theologians and
00:43:31
civic leaders to lay down some ground
00:43:33
rules with foresight pony might serve as
00:43:36
well otherwise just like Frankenstein's
00:43:39
monster it could emerge from the lab as
00:43:42
an awesome threat
00:43:51
