00:02:24
Wagner somehow manages to escape when
00:02:28
authorities search Wagner's truck
00:02:29
they're shocked by what they
00:02:31
find in the vehicle was gas cans half
00:02:35
filled with gasoline a dummy hand
00:02:38
grenade and
00:02:40
firearms and a list of uh abortion
00:02:43
clinics on the East
00:02:48
Coast Clayton Wagner used to be a
00:02:50
smalltime criminal but now he says that
00:02:53
he's on a mission from God to kill
00:02:56
abortionists authorities believe that
00:02:58
it's only a matter of time before
00:03:00
Clayton Wagner carries out his threat
00:03:04
Clayton Wagner is a very complex and
00:03:06
intelligent individual he's a
00:03:10
Woodsman he used to own a computer
00:03:13
company he's an car
00:03:16
thief he's an armed robber and at some
00:03:19
point Clayton Wagner became involved in
00:03:21
the anti-abortion
00:03:24
movement Wagner once told a reporter
00:03:27
that he experienced a spiritual
00:03:29
Awakening shortly after his daughter had
00:03:32
a
00:03:34
miscarriage Wagner said that at one
00:03:37
point he heard a voice he said God told
00:03:40
him how can you mourn so much over this
00:03:43
one child when so many others are being
00:03:47
killed and it all seems to start right
00:03:53
there Wagner put together a list of
00:03:55
abortion clinics and their
00:03:58
employees he carried surveillance
00:04:00
equipment police scanners and guns as he
00:04:03
stalked over 100 clinics in 19
00:04:08
states he had been out for a Time
00:04:11
stalking abortion clinics and trying to
00:04:13
work up the nerve to shoot an abortion
00:04:15
doctor or one of their staff
00:04:19
members he had people in his gun sits at
00:04:22
least three times and couldn't bring
00:04:24
himself to pull the
00:04:26
trigger Wagner vowed to pull the trigger
00:04:29
the next chance he got fortunately the
00:04:33
police stopped him just in
00:04:37
time Wagner his wife and eight children
00:04:41
were riding in a motor home when it
00:04:43
broke
00:04:44
down when a license blade check was done
00:04:47
it revealed that the motor home was
00:04:49
stolen had a little problem earlier with
00:04:51
the the starter I think is what when o
00:04:53
State Police Troopers indicated to him
00:04:56
that he was going to have to conduct an
00:04:58
interview with Wagner's family
00:05:00
don't drag her into she doesn't know
00:05:01
anything about it and at that point
00:05:03
Wagner immediately volunteered that the
00:05:05
vehicle was stolen that he was wanted
00:05:07
and he did not want his family to get
00:05:10
involved Wagner was arrested and taken
00:05:12
to jail in Clinton
00:05:15
[Music]
00:05:18
Illinois he began writing letters to the
00:05:20
extremist anti-abortion movement looking
00:05:23
for support Reverend Donald Spitz
00:05:26
responded he was an independent
00:05:28
Pentecost the minister and founder of
00:05:31
the anti-abortion group The Army of
00:05:35
God Clayton informed me that his life
00:05:39
was totally committed to taking action
00:05:41
against the baby butes Clayton was
00:05:44
disappointed and dejected because he was
00:05:47
apprehended before he was able to
00:05:50
fulfill this
00:05:52
Mission Wagner was convicted for car
00:05:54
theft as well as Federal weapons
00:05:57
violations during and after the trial he
00:06:00
made threats that were posted on an
00:06:02
anti-abortion
00:06:05
website doesn't matter to me if you're a
00:06:07
nurse receptionist or janitor if you
00:06:10
work for a murderous abortionist I'm
00:06:12
going to kill
00:06:15
you Wagner was determined to keep his
00:06:18
word he began planning his prison
00:06:23
escape he happened to be put in only one
00:06:26
of two cells that had this inside access
00:06:29
door to the Plumbing uh that was just by
00:06:31
chance he just happened to uh at the
00:06:33
luck of the draw end up with that
00:06:36
[Music]
00:06:38
cell Wagner picked the lock on that
00:06:40
access door with a comb police believe
00:06:43
Wagner deliberately lost weight so that
00:06:45
he could squeeze into the crawl space
00:06:47
above his cell from there he reached the
00:06:53
[Music]
00:06:58
roof
00:07:01
he jumped to an adjacent building and
00:07:03
then dropped 15 ft to the
00:07:08
ground Wagner ran to the nearby railroad
00:07:13
tracks and was
00:07:16
gone Wagner knew what time the train
00:07:18
went by he made statements to other
00:07:21
inmates that that was going to be his
00:07:23
ride and I think he planned the escape
00:07:26
to happen at a certain time so he could
00:07:28
jump on that train
00:07:30
Master Control notified dispatch we got
00:07:31
one
00:07:32
[Music]
00:07:38
missing we conducted uh searches of the
00:07:41
immediate area we uh set up roadblocks
00:07:45
at all the exit points leaving the city
00:07:47
of
00:07:49
Clinton Wagner remained out of sight for
00:07:51
2 days then police received a report
00:07:54
that a man who looked like Wagner had
00:07:56
stolen a car from a nearby gas station
00:07:59
but Wagner slipped away again as police
00:08:01
swarmed the
00:08:05
[Music]
00:08:08
area we don't know how Wagner got
00:08:10
through that drag net Wagner has stated
00:08:14
that God has made him
00:08:16
invisible I don't think God has made him
00:08:18
invisible but obviously uh Clayton
00:08:21
Wagner is uh very good at
00:08:25
[Music]
00:08:26
disappearing in this surveillance video
00:08:29
Wagner is seen robbing a Pennsylvania
00:08:31
bank 2 months later he made off with
00:08:35
$4,700 in cash I almost couldn't believe
00:08:39
it when I saw the photograph it appeared
00:08:41
that the person in the photograph was
00:08:43
posing and smiling for the camera and
00:08:45
there was no doubt in my mind it was
00:08:47
Clayton
00:08:49
Wagner abortion clinics across the
00:08:52
country were now on full
00:08:54
alert they feared that Wagner would
00:08:56
finally follow through on his threats
00:09:00
whether he shoots an abortion is dead or
00:09:03
whether he does not shoot an abortion is
00:09:04
dead Clayton will be spending the rest
00:09:06
of his life in in prison if he is
00:09:08
apprehended so Clayton has nothing to
00:09:10
lose at this
00:09:11
[Music]
00:09:15
point
00:09:18
update Cincinnati
00:09:21
Ohio Clayton Wagner was captured by US
00:09:24
Marshals 10 months after he escaped an
00:09:28
employee at a photocopy store recognized
00:09:31
them from wanted posters and notified
00:09:33
authorities Wagner was arrested without
00:09:36
incident he pleaded guilty to possession
00:09:39
of a firearm by a felon and Interstate
00:09:42
transportation of a stolen vehicle among
00:09:44
other
00:09:45
charges he is currently in prison and
00:09:48
will be 87 years old before he is
00:09:51
eligible for
00:09:56
release next UFO sightings in a New York
00:10:00
City suburb a hoax or the Real
00:10:14
Deal New York's Hudson River
00:10:17
Valley home to upscale professionals and
00:10:22
retirees hardly the people you would
00:10:24
expect to be swept up by UFO
00:10:28
fever
00:10:29
yet that's exactly what happened to more
00:10:32
than 5,000
00:10:38
residents UFO sightings in the Hudson
00:10:41
River Valley lasted 3 years ultimately
00:10:44
the entire episode was dismissed as a
00:10:47
hoax carried out by local stunt Pilots
00:10:50
even so many of the eyewitnesses are
00:10:53
certain that what they saw was not just
00:10:57
a couple of airplanes

Dennis Sant is a husband and father of
00:11:04
five children he has worked in local
00:11:06
government for 17 years he led a
00:11:09
perfectly normal life until March of
00:11:13
1983 and then his home in Brewster New
00:11:16
York was the site of an extraordinary
00:11:23
[Music]
00:11:25
event oh my God come on here and see
00:11:28
this
00:11:30
was a very large object the structure of
00:11:33
it was very dark gray metallic almost
00:11:36
girder type looking what is it I don't
00:11:40
know girls girls come out here and see
00:11:43
this the object seemed to be very silent
00:11:46
the lights were iridescent bright uh
00:11:50
they stood out in the sky and a three
00:11:52
dimension it looked like a city of
00:11:54
Lights just hung in the sky of all
00:11:56
brilliant
00:11:57
colors
00:12:03
we followed the object around to the
00:12:05
backyard and at that point a feeling of
00:12:07
fright Came Upon
00:12:10
me thoughts started to flood my mind
00:12:14
thoughts of The Craft touching ground
00:12:17
thoughts of an encounter with an alien
00:12:19
being thoughts of uh being abducted all
00:12:23
types of fearful thoughts started to
00:12:25
enter into my mind and it seemed only to
00:12:28
be
00:12:29
seconds before the object started to
00:12:31
move again but the feelings were
00:12:36
overwhelming a few miles away traffic
00:12:39
screeched to a halt on Interstate
00:12:42
84 the mysterious object hovered
00:12:46
overhead the Hudson Valley sightings had
00:12:48
only just
00:12:50
[Music]
00:12:54
begun one week later Newcastle Police
00:12:57
Officer Andy St off was on routine
00:13:02
Patrol I was working a 400 p.m. to
00:13:04
midnight tour and assigned to set up
00:13:07
some radar to look for speeding
00:13:09
cars and I looked up into the sky and
00:13:12
saw a series of
00:13:14
lights and at first I thought it was a
00:13:16
plane it was quite a distance quite far
00:13:18
away but it was it was really quite
00:13:20
large as I recall there were mostly
00:13:23
white lights but there were green lights
00:13:25
also it was alternating green and white
00:13:27
lights it approached my vehicle and as
00:13:29
it approached the vehicle it it stopped
00:13:31
and it seemed to
00:13:33
hover and I'm looking at this thing like
00:13:35
thinking what is
00:13:38
it I wasn't afraid I was just amazed I
00:13:41
was in awe of it I didn't know what it
00:13:43
was the thing that I recall the most as
00:13:46
I was amazed that there was no noise
00:13:47
there was no humming there was no engine
00:13:50
there was no sound it was absolutely
00:13:54
silent unit 6 to base could you please
00:13:57
send somebody else I'm observ deserving
00:13:59
something
00:14:01
incredible just seconds later the Eerie
00:14:04
silence was broken by another eyewitness
00:14:07
report it's heading towards town I'm
00:14:09
following
00:14:10
it that was about the time that it
00:14:13
started to move and it moved very slowly
00:14:15
almost floated I guess I was mostly
00:14:18
curious as to what it could be I was
00:14:20
spending most of my time trying to
00:14:22
figure out why there was no noise coming
00:14:23
out of this thing and we followed it we
00:14:25
followed it until it disappeared off
00:14:27
into the Hills
00:14:34
at virtually the same time Ed Burns a
00:14:37
computer engineer and Senior manager for
00:14:40
IBM was driving home on the tonic
00:14:43
Parkway 10 Mi north of Officer soff's
00:14:49
location out of nowhere I got a lot of
00:14:52
static on the radio I thought maybe I
00:14:55
was on the wrong number and then I went
00:14:56
over to turn the dial again and that's
00:14:58
when and I looked up and saw this
00:15:03
craft it was a triangular ship and the
00:15:08
back had to be as large as a football
00:15:11
field at
00:15:12
least it was truly a flying City if
00:15:15
that's the way you want to call it I
00:15:17
mean it was huge and there was no
00:15:22
noise Ed pulled off the highway and
00:15:24
joined a group of people who had stopped
00:15:27
they were all staring at the sky guy
00:15:31
stunned have you ever seen anything so
00:15:34
huge I'm not into astronomy uh Mars I
00:15:37
mean I don't know the solar systems but
00:15:40
what I had witnessed that night was not
00:15:43
from this
00:15:45
planet officer sof and at least 12
00:15:48
others saw it in Newcastle at Burns and
00:15:51
at least 20 drivers saw it near Milwood
00:15:55
10 minutes later the phones began
00:15:57
ringing off the hook in the Yorktown
00:15:59
Police Station 10 minutes after that
00:16:03
Yorktown PD officer wolf no we've had
00:16:05
several reports everything is under
00:16:07
control every line kept going every
00:16:09
single line constantly I answer the
00:16:10
phone another line would light up I
00:16:12
answer the next line another line would
00:16:14
light up about it sir there's really
00:16:15
nothing in work please hold sir got to
00:16:17
the point and I got a call of the conic
00:16:20
Parkway being stopped the people were
00:16:22
all out in the cars um it was starting
00:16:25
to get really crazy go ahead s I'll be
00:16:28
uh
00:16:29
cuz I tried calling the cars to find out
00:16:31
if they saw anything and the only one
00:16:33
that called with the cars was uh Kevin
00:16:37
said that he would stop in officer Kevin
00:16:40
sorilla also saw the lights reported by
00:16:42
dozens of Yorktown
00:16:45
residents the object was extremely large
00:16:48
I estimated to be close to 300 to 400 yd
00:16:50
wide we stood out in front facing to the
00:16:53
North in approximately about 5 minutes
00:16:56
we did the object began to appear from
00:16:58
the northern
00:16:59
Horizon look at that thing man
00:17:02
unbelievable Officer William wolf was
00:17:04
standing next to sorilla yet they saw
00:17:07
two completely different
00:17:10
things it's got to be a group of planes
00:17:12
or something I don't think so yeah I
00:17:14
think I see a wing in there I don't
00:17:16
think so they don't look like planes
00:17:18
officer sorilla was convinced that he
00:17:21
saw a large object with a number of
00:17:23
small
00:17:24
lights I was say approximately 16 18
00:17:27
lights running in a V formation
00:17:30
approximately 200 to 400 yards wide I
00:17:33
was staring in between the lights to see
00:17:36
any type of a solid structure where he
00:17:38
may have basically been staring at the
00:17:40
lights
00:17:41
themselves but officer wolf had a
00:17:44
completely different impression be a
00:17:46
group of planes or something I they look
00:17:48
like airplanes to me I say I says you
00:17:50
know I live near an airport so I see
00:17:51
these airplanes every
00:17:53
day so as they were coming over he says
00:17:56
well you can't hear anything I said
00:17:58
listen but that when we started hearing
00:18:00
a drone it wasn't one big solid unit but
00:18:04
it if you looked at it for like a couple
00:18:06
of minutes or even a fraction as it was
00:18:08
coming over I could see where some
00:18:10
people would have gotten
00:18:12
upset a fiery debate began when the news
00:18:15
spread about the sightings many said
00:18:18
they were nothing more than small planes
00:18:20
flying in a tight formation however this
00:18:24
Theory did not satisfy many of those who
00:18:27
had actually seen the
00:18:33
UFOs next two dramatic Home Videos one
00:18:38
seems proof of a hoax good God the other
00:18:42
proof of something all too
00:18:50
[Music]
00:18:55
real thousands of people say they saw
00:18:58
you UFOs in New York's Hudson River
00:19:00
Valley over a 3-year period in the early
00:19:04
80s they saw either wed shaped light
00:19:06
formations or something like this
00:19:09
circular
00:19:11
object but there were others who have a
00:19:14
surprisingly different
00:19:16
Theory they say the unusual lights were
00:19:19
nothing more than small planes flying in
00:19:22
a rigid
00:19:25
formation is anywhere from upwards of uh
00:19:28
7 to 10 aircraft that do fly around in
00:19:32
formation and this is visible from our
00:19:37
Tower Anthony kaliy had been an air
00:19:41
traffic controller for almost 10 years
00:19:44
he saw something in the summer of
00:19:46
1983 that he thought would settle the
00:19:48
UFO controversy once and for all or so
00:19:52
it
00:19:54
seems that over
00:19:56
Stormville the uh first time time I
00:19:58
observed the formation flying it looked
00:20:01
a little
00:20:02
peculiar there's a B6 aircraft cent in
00:20:05
formation and from our vantage point in
00:20:07
the tower they just appear to be one big
00:20:09
light because they are flying in tight
00:20:12
formation I don't think if this
00:20:15
formation flew over an individual's head
00:20:17
at 1,000 ft if there's any way you can
00:20:19
misdiagnose it for anything but the
00:20:21
formation flying due to the sound of the
00:20:23
aircraft engines and imagine at 1,000 ft
00:20:27
you could really determined that it's
00:20:30
aircraft but not everyone
00:20:33
agrees the UFO was surely seen before
00:20:36
these hster Pilots uh began their night
00:20:38
flights after these hoers began their
00:20:42
night flights people would call me up
00:20:44
who had seen the UFO on previous dates
00:20:46
and said well I saw something strange in
00:20:48
the sky but it wasn't the same thing
00:20:50
that I saw a week
00:20:53
before holy good God what do you think I
00:20:57
don't know
00:20:59
not I'll be I'm going to tell you
00:21:01
something honey I don't know what the
00:21:03
hell it is Bob Puli took this Home Video
00:21:07
in July
00:21:08
1984 Philip in brono is convinced it
00:21:12
shows a
00:21:13
UFO West it has been looked at by a
00:21:16
number of photographic experts who
00:21:18
indicate that the movement of the object
00:21:20
on the video seems to be one rigid
00:21:22
object not individual objects plus there
00:21:26
were hundreds and hundreds of witnesses
00:21:28
who saw the UFO and said it was
00:21:30
something strange but the night that the
00:21:32
airplanes were seen there were also
00:21:34
dozens of witnesses who said in fact
00:21:37
that they did see
00:21:39
airplanes Bob Puli also shot this a
00:21:42
month
00:21:43
earlier Skeptics and Believers all agree
00:21:47
that it shows a squadron of small planes
00:21:49
flying in
00:21:51
formation bre you hear the engines if
00:21:55
you look at that video you can see see
00:21:58
that the lights are shifting position
00:21:59
and relation to each other the fellow
00:22:01
who videotaped it is talking about he
00:22:03
can hear the engines he can see the
00:22:05
stars as the object is passing over him
00:22:09
a matter of fact when that videotape was
00:22:10
made of the airplanes no one came
00:22:12
forward to say they had seen a UFO
00:22:14
people called me and said they had seen
00:22:16
airplanes flying in formation but the
00:22:18
night of the UFO sighting when the
00:22:20
videotape was made I had hundreds of
00:22:22
phone calls to different telephone lines
00:22:25
of people who had in fact seen a
00:22:29
uo so what is the truth about the
00:22:32
Fantastic light formations in the sky
00:22:35
above the Hudson River
00:22:37
Valley I personally think that it was an
00:22:40
airplane or people who were playing
00:22:42
games trying to get a rush out of making
00:22:46
people feel hey there's somebody from
00:22:49
another world
00:22:50
here if it was Ultra Lights I'm a little
00:22:53
uh Amazed by the Precision flying I I
00:22:55
have to see it again to believe it I'm
00:22:58
not too sure I'm not too sure
00:23:00
about this was one of those moments in
00:23:03
my time that made a very dramatic
00:23:06
impression upon me what I saw was not
00:23:09
ples in
00:23:11
formation there was no shaking or
00:23:14
movement of any of the lights it was
00:23:16
perfectly still you know I'm not trying
00:23:19
to say what it was I don't know what it
00:23:20
was I know it wasn't an
00:23:23
airplane I tell the story a lot to
00:23:26
certain friends that I can trust that'll
00:23:27
believe me I mean my wife I think
00:23:30
believes me boy I'll tell you I'll never
00:23:33
forget that as long as I
00:23:36
live and five airplanes it was
00:23:43
not when we filmed the story we asked
00:23:46
the stunt pilots who supposedly carried
00:23:48
out the hoax to recreate one of their
00:23:50
flights they declined two-thirds of the
00:23:54
sightings took place when the stunt
00:23:55
Pilots weren't even flying
00:23:58
so if they weren't in the
00:24:00
air who
00:24:02
was coming up a woman refuses to give up
00:24:07
hope that she'll find her husband after
00:24:09
he mysteriously
00:24:16
[Music]
00:24:18
disappears our next two stories are
00:24:21
about two happily married couples who
00:24:24
were
00:24:25
mysteriously separated
00:24:30
Clintonville Wisconsin and by the power
00:24:32
V we recently told you the story of
00:24:35
Christine Reinhardt who believed that
00:24:37
she had finally found the man of her
00:24:39
dreams she and Craig Williamson got
00:24:41
married just a month after they met
00:24:44
Craig you kiss your
00:24:47
away the newlyweds were
00:24:50
inseparable they bought a farm in
00:24:52
Wisconsin where they began raising
00:24:54
exotic fish to sell to Gourmet
00:24:57
Restaurants
00:24:59
but Christine reinhardt's perfect world
00:25:01
was torn apart just 3 years
00:25:04
later Craig drove to Colorado Springs on
00:25:07
a business trip and never
00:25:11
returned Christine began a heartbreaking
00:25:14
18-month search for
00:25:16
Craig she traveled to Colorado
00:25:19
Springs posted Flyers uh searching for
00:25:23
my husband who's been missing for quite
00:25:24
some time his name isig Williamson uh
00:25:28
this is where your husband she even went
00:25:30
to the hotel where Craig was last seen I
00:25:33
know he's alive and I know someday I'll
00:25:36
find him the trouble is I don't know
00:25:38
when and I just have to keep hanging on
00:25:41
the hardest part is hanging
00:25:44
on
00:25:47
update after seeing himself on our
00:25:50
program Craig Williamson called
00:25:52
Christine the phone rang and he said
00:25:55
hello Christine this is Craig it didn't
00:25:57
really sound like him he sounded like a
00:25:59
shell of himself it it from what phrases
00:26:03
he used and things like that I knew it
00:26:05
was Craig but his voice was really oh
00:26:08
very weak and uh and I was just shaking
00:26:12
I was I was in total shock when I saw
00:26:14
this whole thing on Unsolved Mysteries I
00:26:16
realized that I was Craig Williamson but
00:26:19
I didn't know who Craig Williamson was I
00:26:21
didn't have a clue to who he was I knew
00:26:23
that he had a family
00:26:24
someplace um uh I knew that he was
00:26:28
married I didn't know that he had a fish
00:26:30
farm I didn't know a lot Craig had been
00:26:33
suffering from severe Amnesia painful
00:26:36
headaches and frequent blackouts for 2
00:26:38
years he was now living in Key West
00:26:41
Florida and going by the name of Ron all
00:26:45
he could remember was that he had been
00:26:47
attacked by a stranger while in Colorado
00:26:54
Springs Christine took Craig back to the
00:26:57
A area where he had
00:26:59
disappeared they hoped that a visit
00:27:01
might J his
00:27:03
memory does that look at all familiar to
00:27:05
you it doesn't it doesn't it looks
00:27:08
familiar from the unsolved mystery
00:27:09
segment but nothing it doesn't I there's
00:27:12
nothing here I feel nothing no
00:27:14
attachment to it so no it doesn't except
00:27:16
for Craig didn't remember any of it the
00:27:20
reunion Christine had dreamed of ended
00:27:23
in a Bittersweet party neither Craig nor
00:27:26
I are the same people we were 2 years
00:27:29
ago before all of this
00:27:32
happened we're still very good friends
00:27:34
and we're always going to stay connected
00:27:36
but we can't go back he's not there he
00:27:39
doesn't have any sort of emotional
00:27:41
attachment anymore and I just have to
00:27:43
accept that we are not the same people
00:27:45
we still love each other we still care
00:27:47
for each other but we've decided it's
00:27:49
best for us to go our separate ways you
00:27:52
take good care of yourself I love
00:27:55
to take care of yourself too everything
00:27:58
I've done has been worth it the search
00:28:01
all the effort that I've put into trying
00:28:02
to find Craig was worth it I would do it
00:28:04
all over
00:28:06
again Craig Williamson is now living
00:28:09
with friends in California Christine has
00:28:12

Lee Woods on vacation from their home in

Boston they are mixing business with
00:28:34
pleasure while Jeff attends a legal
00:28:37
conference Judy does some
00:28:39
sightseeing they agree to meet back at
00:28:42
their hotel at 5:00
00:28:45
p.m. Judy so I got back to the hotel
00:28:49
room about 5:30 and she wasn't
00:28:55
there and by about
00:28:57
6:30 I was starting to get worried she
00:29:01
was somebody who believed in being
00:29:04
absolutely on time Jeff contacts
00:29:07
hospitals and the police he also visits
00:29:10
the places she had planned to go that
00:29:13
day but there is no sign of
00:29:17
[Music]
00:29:19
Judy Judy and Jeff had been married only
00:29:22
5 months when she
00:29:25
disappeared Judy was is caring loving
00:29:30
responsible and someone I
00:29:34
love deeply I thought that my mom didn't
00:29:37
know who she was and was lost in a city
00:29:40
and you know that was horrible to
00:29:43
think on the day she vanished Jeff said
00:29:46
Judy left the hotel around 900 in the
00:29:48
morning as always she took her trademark
00:29:51
red
00:29:53
backpack 8 hours later she still hadn't
00:29:56
returned to the
00:29:58
[Music]
00:30:00
hotel the Philadelphia police found no
00:30:03
sign of Judy Jeff returned to Boston
00:30:07
from there he faxed and mailed 9,000
00:30:09
Flyers up and down the Eastern
00:30:13
Seaboard he also hired three private
00:30:17
investigators I was fearful that
00:30:19
something had happened to her but I
00:30:22
actually believed that I would be able
00:30:25
to find her it was
00:30:27
mindboggling I just couldn't figure out
00:30:29
what could have happened to
00:30:35
her Asheville North
00:30:38
Carolina 700 mil from
00:30:41
Philadelphia 5 months after Judy
00:30:43
vanished a father and son were hiking
00:30:46
when they found a partially buried
00:30:49
[Music]
00:30:52
skeleton our victim was a white female
00:30:55
probably in her late 4 40s to
00:30:58
mid-50s the pathologist report indicates
00:31:02
that there's punch rooms and cuts on the
00:31:05
bra which could be consistent with stab
00:31:08
LS police requested Judy's dental
00:31:10
records after seeing Jeff's missing
00:31:12
flyers in the area forensics confirmed
00:31:17
that they were the remains of Judy
00:31:20
Smith I was shocked I guess you always
00:31:23
anticipate that your parent will die but
00:31:26
not early we always talked about when I
00:31:29
would have kids and and looking forward
00:31:31
to that day and
00:31:34
um I guess I just never thought that she
00:31:36
wouldn't be there for that the
00:31:38
information came that the dental records
00:31:42
matched and my first reaction was I
00:31:44
didn't believe
00:31:46
it no one could understand how Judy
00:31:48
ended up so far away from
00:31:51
Philadelphia authorities found Judy's
00:31:53
diamond wedding ring and
00:31:55
$167 in in cash at the crime scene and
00:31:59
concluded that robbery was not the
00:32:03
[Music]
00:32:06
motive police had another
00:32:10
clue four eyewitnesses in Asheville
00:32:13
claimed to have seen Judy just days
00:32:15
after she
00:32:18
vanished hi there
00:32:21
hi can I help you find anything she
00:32:23
seemed very alert to me she was very
00:32:25
pleasant I didn't see anything about her
00:32:29
that would
00:32:30
indicate that she wasn't right in any
00:32:33
way where you from I'm from Boston oh I
00:32:36
love she told me her husband was an
00:32:38
attorney that they had been in
00:32:40
Pennsylvania and she decided to come
00:32:42
down here if Judy left Philadelphia on
00:32:46
her own free will the question was
00:32:51
why at the time this happened Jeff and
00:32:53
Judy's marriage was very tenuous I
00:32:57
believe that something did happen that
00:32:59
triggered her to want to have some time
00:33:01
away from Jeff I brought you some
00:33:03
flowers it's sort of U I'm not going to
00:33:05
try to suggest that she and I never had
00:33:08
a
00:33:09
disagreement but I believe she was happy
00:33:12
with her life at this point she loved
00:33:14
Jeff and you don't you don't do that to
00:33:16
someone that you love it doesn't make
00:33:19
sense that my mom would leave
00:33:21
Philadelphia it doesn't make sense that
00:33:22
she would be found in Asheville if she
00:33:25
did leave the only thing I can think is
00:33:27
maybe she something happened to her
00:33:29
before she had time to
00:33:31
call investigators found two Clues
00:33:34
suggesting what might have happened to
00:33:36
Judy we found a blue and black backpack
00:33:39
at the crime scene I believe that it
00:33:41
potentially belongs to our
00:33:43
suspect there was a pair of sunglasses
00:33:46
there we believe that these glasses did
00:33:49
not belong to Judith and that they
00:33:51
potentially belong to our
00:33:53
suspect North Carolina investigators
00:33:56
still have no IDE idea why Judy Smith
00:33:58
was
00:33:59

over again the money the
00:36:43
[Music]
00:36:48
money when Mr fank fought back he was

inspector Sanders arrived at the scene
00:37:05
around 1:30
00:37:07
a.m. what do you have uh trying to get
00:37:10
some fingerprints on the crime scene
00:37:13
technicians found no fingerprints but
00:37:15
the murder weapon had been left
00:37:18
behind in the van we found the knife a
00:37:22
regular cheap Kitchen steak knife and
00:37:26
and it was very worn as if it had been
00:37:29
washed a 100 times or
00:37:32
more authorities also found this BB gun
00:37:36
Mrs y said it had been used in the
00:37:40
attack we're now open for questions just
00:37:43
before class began to look deeper into
00:37:45
the case history one of the things that
00:37:47
keeps bothering me is the murder Weapon
00:37:50
It's a Cheesy little kitchen knife looks
00:37:51
all worn out and if I was going to go
00:37:53
get serious with somebody I wouldn't
00:37:54
take a beat up old kitchen knife have
00:37:57
you checked to see if that kind of cheap
00:37:58
knife that was used is used at any of
00:38:00
the restaurants where he has clients
00:38:02
what do his personal and business bank
00:38:04
record show any recent large money that
00:38:08
went in and out that's an excellent
00:38:10
question and I tell you
00:38:12
why inspector Sanders told the class
00:38:14
what he knew about Mr Fang's daily
00:38:17
activities hello tantai hello how are
00:38:20
you Fang's wife sometimes went with him
00:38:23
as he collected money from his customers
00:38:25
he usually re received about $11,000 in
00:38:28
cash
00:38:30
$300 good price best price in the city
00:38:33
every time you come in your price goes
00:38:34
up you
00:38:36
$300 I have a hard time with the thought
00:38:38
that Mr Fang made the routes himself
00:38:41
collecting the receipts and collecting
00:38:43
the money if there wasn't something else
00:38:45
involved for him doing this as a
00:38:47
successful businessman why wouldn't he
00:38:48
have somebody else do that thought has
00:38:50
cross my mind is it that he is Frugal or
00:38:54
is it that there is something else going
00:38:56
on
00:38:57
in fact there was something else going
00:39:00
[Music]
00:39:02
on Sanders had received the mysterious
00:39:05
phone call 3 weeks after the slang who's
00:39:09
this informed advised that Mr Fang was
00:39:12
in fact an avid
00:39:15
Gambler and that that was likely the
00:39:18
motive for his murder rather than Petty
00:39:21
Robert this week should be even better I
00:39:24
want to put 20,000 on the Dallas gate
00:39:25
that's four times what you do that last
00:39:27
week the informant claimed that on the
00:39:29
day of his death Mr Fang had collected
00:39:32
at least
00:39:34
$25,000 in
00:39:36
cash that $
00:39:38
25,000 it was an extremely promising
00:39:41
lead however none of the information
00:39:44
could be verified and Sanders found
00:39:46
himself back at square
00:39:49
one to do some of their own
00:39:51
investigating the students hit the
00:39:54
streets my scenario the thing was that
00:39:58
somebody that on his route uh he had a
00:40:00
bet with he won the money from the
00:40:02
person on the route the person on the
00:40:04
route was very ticked off that he lost
00:40:07
lost the money uh sent somebody out
00:40:09
there to get the money back and in the
00:40:11
process killed him I sort of think it's
00:40:14
some gang wnab bees new immigrants to
00:40:16
the country doesn't seem to fit to me
00:40:19
the traditional um sort of signature if
00:40:22
you will of of the Chinese gangs in
00:40:24
Chinatown well what about your dad I
00:40:26
know he worked in Chinatown when he had
00:40:28
Carol lellan had questioned a friend who
00:40:30
was a longtime Chinatown resident I
00:40:33
think the Vietnamese uh gangs are very
00:40:36
different she learned that many
00:40:38
Vietnamese immigrants can speak
00:40:40
Cantonese and may be eager to prove
00:40:42
themselves to longtime gang
00:40:45
members hello tantai hello how are you
00:40:49
maybe some young wannabes thought this
00:40:52
guy has money they noticed that he has
00:40:54
jewelry he's kind of a high roller by
00:40:55
the clo that he wears and they thought
00:40:57
he would be a good Mark give me 100b 100
00:41:01
lb another student Nick Doby proposed a
00:41:04
completely different
00:41:06
scenario I think Mr Fang's as salance um
00:41:11
knew Mr Fang knew his routine I think Mr
00:41:14
Fang was into gambling in a very high
00:41:17
level and they overheard Mr Fang either
00:41:19
taking or making a large bit they knew
00:41:22
that he was going to collect a large sum
00:41:25
of money they suspected that he had that
00:41:27
money that day they were disappointed
00:41:30
and surprised when they found out that
00:41:32
he didn't have it on him and when he
00:41:34
started struggling that's when they
00:41:36
killed
00:41:37
[Music]
00:41:39
him Dolby may have been on to something
00:41:43
after the class was over Sanders
00:41:45
received another anonymous phone call
00:41:48
this caller also said that Mr Fang's
00:41:51
death was tied to
00:41:52
gambling Sanders believes the tip was
00:41:55
credible
00:41:57
but only time and further investigation
00:42:00
will allow police to close in on the
00:42:02
killers of ginf
