July 26, 2021 / 42:58

This episode of Unsolved Mysteries covers three unusual cases: the mysterious death of Dave Box at a uranium processing plant, the suspicious car accident of police chief Robert Hamrick, and the fugitive status of mobster Whitey Bulger.

In Fernald, Ohio, Dave Box, an employee at the NLO plant, died under suspicious circumstances. His remains were found in a furnace, leading his family to believe he was murdered for potentially exposing unsafe practices at the plant. Eyewitness accounts and evidence from the scene raise questions about the nature of his death.

In Rock Creek, Ohio, police chief Robert Hamrick faced threats from a local gang while trying to clean up the community. After a pursuit of a suspect, he was found severely injured in a car accident, which was ruled accidental despite evidence suggesting foul play. His family believes he was murdered.

The episode also highlights the life of Whitey Bulger, the notorious Irish mobster from South Boston. After years on the run, he was eventually captured and sentenced to life in prison, only to be killed by fellow inmates.

Lastly, the episode features Janine Price, a woman with psychic abilities that cause objects to behave strangely around her. Her experiences include predicting her sister's death and causing objects to explode or move unexpectedly.

TL;DR

This episode covers the suspicious deaths of Dave Box and Robert Hamrick, the fugitive Whitey Bulger, and psychic Janine Price's unusual abilities.

fernald ohio 20 miles northwest from
00:01:35
cincinnati
00:01:36
for many years this small farm town's
00:01:38
main employer
00:01:40
was the feed materials production center
00:01:43
also known as nlo
00:01:48
unknown to the public nlo was actually
00:01:51
owned by the department of energy
00:01:53
from 1953 to 1989
00:01:56
it was one of the few plants in the u.s
00:01:58
that secretly processed
00:02:00
high-grade uranium for nuclear weapons
00:02:05
when i was hired in there they said it
00:02:06
was a low level
00:02:08
radiation plant and that you didn't have
00:02:11
anything to worry about there was
00:02:12
nothing back there that would bother you
00:02:14
and just you know going about your
00:02:17
business
00:02:18
not to tell anybody what you were doing
00:02:21
everything would be fine but conditions
00:02:24
at the plant weren't fine
00:02:26
in the fall of 1984 nlo was rocked by
00:02:30
scandal when a factory accident
00:02:32
released massive amounts of radioactive
00:02:34
smoke into the atmosphere
00:02:38
an investigation later revealed that
00:02:41
over the years
00:02:41
nlo had released more than 200 tons
00:02:45
of radioactive dust particles into the
00:02:48
air and local
00:02:49
water sources the effect that it has
00:02:54
on the environment is one thing we have
00:02:57
an environmental disaster
00:03:01
but i think if you did a survey around
00:03:04
the finale community
00:03:06
you will find very few people who trust
00:03:09
the government now
00:03:11
it was a few months before this terrible
00:03:13
accident
00:03:14
that dave box one of the plant's
00:03:17
employees died
00:03:18
a gruesome death inside the factory
00:03:21
his family is convinced that he was
00:03:23
murdered
00:03:24
possibly because he was going to blow
00:03:26
the whistle on the quantity of
00:03:28
radioactivity
00:03:30
that the plant was releasing
00:03:34
in 1981 dave was hired at nlo
00:03:38
as a pipe fitter and quickly earned the
00:03:40
trust and respect
00:03:41
of his co-workers dave was divorced
00:03:45
but remained close to his ex-wife and
00:03:47
three children
00:03:48
[Music]
00:03:50
he was great he would do anything for us
00:03:53
loved his children
00:03:54
you know did his job he was just very
00:03:57
kind person
00:04:01
dave worked the graveyard shift on
00:04:04
sunday night at 11 p.m
00:04:06
he met his rideshare partner harry
00:04:08
easterling in the parking lot at a local
00:04:10
restaurant
00:04:11
as usual hey harry hi dave dave got into
00:04:14
my truck
00:04:15
we left had a little conversation on the
00:04:18
way to work
00:04:19
he had talked about vacation with his
00:04:21
kids and uh
00:04:22
bought a new lunch box for work and
00:04:24
everything seemed to be normal
00:04:28
dave's job was to inspect and maintain
00:04:31
equipment
00:04:32
throughout the factory this included
00:04:34
making sure
00:04:35
that the safety pumps and dust
00:04:37
collectors used in the uranium
00:04:39
processing
00:04:40
were working properly dave was a fairly
00:04:43
quiet guy
00:04:44
but if you worked on a job say it was
00:04:46
high radiation level dave would tell you
00:04:48
say you know
00:04:49
that particular dust collector is fairly
00:04:52
radioactive so watch yourself or
00:04:54
that pump has a certain kind of acid in
00:04:55
it so be careful when you work on it
00:04:57
[Music]
00:05:00
only the maintenance crew and security
00:05:02
personnel work the graveyard shift
00:05:04
the production lines were shut down at
00:05:07
midnight
00:05:08
dave reported to the maintenance room
00:05:10
for his assignment
00:05:12
box yeah i need you to look at the pump
00:05:14
building
00:05:15
let's see him all right it was sort of
00:05:18
just like any other night he would open
00:05:19
his toolbox
00:05:20
leave his keys in his lock and lay the
00:05:22
lock and keys in the top of the toolbox
00:05:25
dave went to one area and i worked on a
00:05:28
job and another plant
00:05:30
a worker saw dave and a supervisor in a
00:05:33
parked
00:05:33
pickup truck the eyewitness spoke to us
00:05:36
on the phone
00:05:37
but he declined to appear on camera he
00:05:40
said that dave and the supervisor
00:05:42
seemed to be having a serious discussion
00:05:45
but he could not tell what they were
00:05:47
talking about
00:05:48
he noted the windows of the truck were
00:05:50
rolled up even though the weather was
00:05:52
hot
00:05:53
and humid an hour later
00:05:56
the same witness ran into dave on the
00:05:58
factory grounds
00:05:59
help with that i'm just putting my tools
00:06:02
away
00:06:03
all right he noticed that dave was
00:06:05
walking towards plant
00:06:06
four not plant eight where he'd been
00:06:09
assigned
00:06:10
it was the last time that dave box was
00:06:13
seen alive
00:06:19
later that morning harry became
00:06:21
suspicious because
00:06:22
he hadn't seen dave in hours
00:06:26
approximately seven o'clock that morning
00:06:27
we had a safety meeting in conference
00:06:29
room in plant four
00:06:31
we showed up for the meeting but dave
00:06:33
wasn't there
00:06:34
walked back over to the maintenance
00:06:36
building put my tools away
00:06:38
and noticed that dave's toolbox was
00:06:40
still open so i thought well
00:06:42
he's probably working overtime so i went
00:06:44
in made a few phone calls but i couldn't
00:06:46
locate him so i went back out and told
00:06:47
the security guard
00:06:49
that dave hadn't come out i was going
00:06:51
home and i would meet him
00:06:52
the next night at the restaurant
00:06:57
at around 7 30 that morning a furnace
00:07:00
operator
00:07:00
in plant six told his supervisor
00:07:04
that the casings in his oven were
00:07:05
covered with a strange
00:07:07
sticky residue the worker also noticed
00:07:11
a strange odor and something strange in
00:07:14
here
00:07:15
this there's all kind of big firm crush
00:07:18
all over the salt
00:07:19
crust yeah i've dipped a couple of
00:07:21
ingots in it's got a slick film
00:07:23
all over them that's okay just go ahead
00:07:26
and keep dipping
00:07:27
larry yeah what there's something in
00:07:29
there
00:07:33
the supervisor apparently found nothing
00:07:36
wrong and told the furnace operator
00:07:38
to go back to work
00:07:41
on the way to his next shift harry went
00:07:43
to the restaurant to meet dave as usual
00:07:47
it was dave's turn to drive and his car
00:07:50
was already there
00:07:54
wasn't anything out of the ordinary
00:07:55
because he would pull his car in and go
00:07:57
get something eaten and come back to the
00:07:58
car
00:07:59
or get something to take for lunch
00:08:03
and i leaned up against dave's car and i
00:08:05
noticed the fender was still cold
00:08:07
so i reached over touched the hood and
00:08:09
the hood was still
00:08:11
harry was worried when he got to work he
00:08:15
reported dave missing
00:08:16
and had a security guard pry open his
00:08:18
locker are these the clothes he was
00:08:20
wearing
00:08:20
that's what he was wearing and you
00:08:22
haven't seen him since you left
00:08:24
no inside the plant
00:08:28
an investigation had begun plant records
00:08:30
show that at 5
00:08:32
15 on the morning date disappeared the
00:08:35
temperature in the furnace in plant 6
00:08:37
had briefly dropped 28 degrees
00:08:41
this sudden change suggested that
00:08:43
something
00:08:44
foreign had been dumped into it
00:08:49
a worker also found what appeared to be
00:08:52
a piece
00:08:52
of bone on the lip of the furnace
00:08:56
the sheriff's department was called and
00:08:58
the furnace was shut down
00:09:01
it took three days for the molten liquid
00:09:03
inside to cool
00:09:05
only then could employees search through
00:09:07
the waste material
00:09:14
my god those keys belong to the victim's
00:09:18
car they also belong to
00:09:21
three padlocks of his and a one key
00:09:25
we believed went into his residence but
00:09:27
we couldn't prove that because it was
00:09:29
bent
00:09:29
and in not very good shape
00:09:33
if the keys pulled from the furnace were
00:09:35
dave's they would presumably have fallen
00:09:37
in along with the foreign body
00:09:40
at 5 15 am but dave's keys were seen
00:09:44
more than two hours later in his tool
00:09:46
box
00:09:47
so how did the keys get into the furnace
00:09:52
investigators concluded that dave was
00:09:54
probably dead
00:09:57
harry was stunned
00:10:00
he was also confused about dave's keys
00:10:04
when i left the plant to go over to the
00:10:06
maintenance shop
00:10:07
his keys were in the box when i left
00:10:09
there to go home they were still in the
00:10:10
box
00:10:11
i went home when i came back that night
00:10:14
his keys
00:10:14
were still in the top of his tool box
00:10:17
the supervisor
00:10:18
closed his box put the lock on his tool
00:10:21
box and took his keys
00:10:22
out of the lock and from there on i do
00:10:25
not know what happened to the keys
00:10:27
[Music]
00:10:29
besides the keys investigators also
00:10:32
found a steel toe from a boot
00:10:34
part of an eyeglass frame fragments of
00:10:36
dave's walkie-talkie
00:10:38
and a stainless steel wire that was
00:10:40
looped together
00:10:41
in three oddly connecting circles
00:10:45
also recovered were several pieces of
00:10:48
human bone
00:10:50
investigators were unable to determine
00:10:52
how dave
00:10:53
ended up in the furnace they suggested
00:10:56
that he might have committed suicide
00:10:59
dave had a history of
00:11:00
psychological problems and around the
00:11:03
time of his divorce
00:11:04
he had apparently tried to kill himself
00:11:11
i believe that he voluntarily went into
00:11:13
that furnace
00:11:15
two individuals that talked to him
00:11:17
during the lunch time
00:11:19
indicated that he was sort of depressed
00:11:20
he seemed to be not very talkative and
00:11:23
was having some sort of a problem that
00:11:25
he didn't wish to discuss
00:11:29
it appears that possibly it was
00:11:33
suicide but i don't have any evidence to
00:11:36
back that
00:11:37
up that's only my personal opinion
00:11:40
i know my father did not commit suicide
00:11:42
he had purchased groceries for the week
00:11:45
he was planning a vacation with me and
00:11:47
my younger brother for the following
00:11:49
summer to florida
00:11:50
he paid all of his bills for the month
00:11:53
there was no reason for him to commit
00:11:56
suicide
00:11:57
he was probably lowered into the furnace
00:11:59
that he was probably murdered
00:12:01
i can't think of any other way that it
00:12:02
could have happened i don't believe that
00:12:05
it could have been suicide or that it
00:12:07
could have been an accident
00:12:10
why he was killed i think he knew
00:12:12
something
00:12:14
plant eight had released four times more
00:12:17
radioactive contaminants into the
00:12:18
environment
00:12:19
than any other plant at the plant site i
00:12:22
believe
00:12:23
that they could have either shot him or
00:12:25
they could have hit him with something
00:12:27
knocked him unconscious took the body
00:12:30
back to
00:12:30
plant sex where the furnace is
00:12:36
it's possible he was a whistleblower or
00:12:38
was going to be a whistleblower
00:12:41
i would hate to think that he was
00:12:43
conscious i can't imagine a more
00:12:45
horrible death than that
00:12:50
no one ever gave us any indication or
00:12:53
reason to believe that foul play may
00:12:56
have occurred
00:12:58
there are probably people out there that
00:13:00
know what happened
00:13:01
and there may not be people that know
00:13:03
what happened either because
00:13:05
you know if they knew i doubt that
00:13:07
anybody would tell you
00:13:10
maybe fear of their life i can't believe
00:13:14
he's gone i'm very angry
00:13:18
i mean we loved him he loved us and
00:13:21
there was no reason for this to happen
00:13:24
five years after dave bach's death the
00:13:27
nlo
00:13:28
was shut down
00:13:32
sadly years later dave's family is
00:13:35
unable to lay him to rest
00:13:38
days remains just a few bone fragments
00:13:41
are too toxic to be buried in the ground
00:13:45
they have been sealed in a drum and
00:13:46
shipped off to a nevada test site for
00:13:49
storage
00:13:49
with other radioactive materials
00:13:55
how dave died and why remains a mystery

i robert hamrick next a small town
00:14:12
policeman stands up to a street gang
00:14:14
and then he dies in a suspicious car
00:14:17
accident
00:14:26
[Music]
00:14:28
rock creek ohio
00:14:34
in the late 1960s a group of young men
00:14:37
began terrorizing this quiet
00:14:38
and peaceful community they were
00:14:41
involved in fights
00:14:43
they were involved in threats they
00:14:46
pretty much had the
00:14:48
entire village under their thumb when
00:14:50
they
00:14:51
spoke the village pretty much listened
00:14:55
the town counted on the sheriff's
00:14:56
department for protection
00:15:00
but they seemed unable to stop the crime
00:15:02
wave
00:15:04
so the citizens decided to start their
00:15:07
own police department
00:15:09
i robert hammer soundly swear robert
00:15:11
hamrick was the third man in less than
00:15:13
six months to take charge of the new
00:15:16
police force
00:15:17
the other two had left after receiving
00:15:19
threats from members
00:15:20
of the rock creek gang but chief hammer
00:15:23
was confident
00:15:24
that he could clean up the town help me
00:15:26
god so help me god
00:15:28
congratulations he wanted it to be a
00:15:30
nice friendly town
00:15:31
he wanted you know to get these this
00:15:34
gang
00:15:36
off the streets so the people wouldn't
00:15:38
have to be afraid of them
00:15:42
almost immediately hamrick and his
00:15:44
family
00:15:45
were harassed
00:15:54
they just did anything that they could
00:15:56
to aggravate him when they knew he was
00:15:57
home
00:15:58
and you know he would get fed up take
00:16:00
off out there after him
00:16:02
[Music]
00:16:03
[Applause]
00:16:06
five months after he was sworn in chief
00:16:08
hamrick investigated an abandoned
00:16:10
building on the edge of town
00:16:13
inside he found an expensive sports car
00:16:16
it was stolen
00:16:19
we come across it fingerprinted it and
00:16:22
we bugged the building because we didn't
00:16:23
know who was there
00:16:26
bob was hiding in the office and when
00:16:28
they set up why
00:16:29
we jumped down and busted them three
00:16:30
heads in the air
00:16:33
the suspects were believed to be members
00:16:35
of the rock creek gang
00:16:38
they were arrested and released on bail
00:16:41
shortly after these guys was arrested
00:16:43
for the stolen car
00:16:44
is when the threats came in on the
00:16:46
telephone
00:16:48
but this one day i was in the kitchen
00:16:50
and the phone rang
00:16:54
hello it was a man on the other end
00:16:58
and he said tell your husband to leave
00:17:01
things alone and get him out of town
00:17:03
or he's going to be hurt and he's going
00:17:05
to be hurt bad
00:17:15
one month later during a routine patrol
00:17:17
chief hammer called in to report that he
00:17:19
was in pursuit
00:17:20
of a car heading west out of town
00:17:27
an hour and a half passed with no
00:17:29
further radio contact
00:17:31
finally the dispatcher requested that
00:17:34
deputies
00:17:34
tried to find the missing chiefs check
00:17:37
calendar wrote for a5
00:17:38
haven't heard from him or been able to
00:17:39
reach him since 151
00:17:43
four hours later hamrick's patrol car
00:17:45
was located on an isolated road
00:17:47
it had hit a tree
00:17:52
chief chief hamrick was semi-conscious
00:17:56
and barely alive hey 11 this is 5 28.
00:17:59
sent out a signal 29.
00:18:01
chief hamrick is hurt real bad he had
00:18:04
head and facial injuries
00:18:06
i was surprised to find him moving when
00:18:08
i got there you know
00:18:09
and then my next thing was to get him to
00:18:12
keep him from moving
00:18:13
so they wouldn't do further injury to
00:18:15
himself
00:18:17
blood covered the back seat of the car
00:18:19
and hamrick's service revolver and night
00:18:21
stick
00:18:22
were missing and the car's ignition
00:18:25
and lights were switched to the off
00:18:27
position
00:18:30
investigators suspected foul play
00:18:34
robert hamrick never regained
00:18:36
consciousness and ten days later
00:18:38
he died despite all the evidence that
00:18:41
pointed to murder
00:18:42
his death was officially ruled
00:18:44
accidental
00:18:46
the result of vehicular pursuit
00:18:50
i still don't believe to this day that
00:18:52
all the injuries that bob
00:18:54
received was a result of that car
00:18:55
accident i believe
00:18:57
my husband's death was not a car
00:18:59
accident
00:19:00
and that he was beaten to death and that
00:19:03
it was covered up
00:19:05
there is evidence and people
00:19:08
just have ignored that evidence and
00:19:10
they've ignored the circumstances at the
00:19:12
time
00:19:13
and what was going on in the village at
00:19:15
the time
00:19:16
six hours after the crash the car that
00:19:19
hamrick had been chasing
00:19:20
was found at a nearby gas station it was
00:19:23
splattered with mud
00:19:24
and had a damaged tire the owner of the
00:19:27
car said
00:19:28
that when she dropped the car off for
00:19:30
repairs the previous day
00:19:32
that the car was in good condition it
00:19:34
was like that when i got here
00:19:37
were you driving this car last night no
00:19:39
it was said
00:19:40
that one of the station employees was
00:19:43
known to be a member
00:19:44
of the rock creek gang knowing that he
00:19:47
was from
00:19:48
hung around the rock creek area and i
00:19:51
had had trouble with him in the past
00:19:55
i felt that he was directly involved
00:19:58
one local woman claims that she
00:19:59
overheard members of the gang
00:20:01
bragging that they had murdered chief
00:20:04
hamrick
00:20:06
they were saying we killed us a cop
00:20:09
and we got away with it and they
00:20:12
proceeded to tell how they killed him
00:20:15
how they beat him in the head
00:20:19
they had it all planned they set him up
00:20:21
get him down here on this dirt road
00:20:24
and they took his billy club and they
00:20:26
started hitting him with it
00:20:38
they put him back into his car and then
00:20:41
they left him there
00:20:43
left him to die
00:20:48
i knew in my heart they would never get
00:20:50
caught
00:20:51
[Music]
00:20:53
i just hope that we find out what
00:20:55
actually happened
00:20:57
and if we find out who's responsible
00:21:01
that they pay for what they did they
00:21:03
took my father from me
00:21:05
and i think it's time that they got
00:21:07
something taken from them
00:21:10
for now the case of robert hamrick is
00:21:13
officially closed
00:21:14

00:21:17

00:21:52
james whitey bulger has been described
00:21:55
as quick-witted
00:21:56
hot-tempered and ruthless a petty thief
00:21:59
turned bank robber
00:22:00
who spent nine years in federal prisons

00:22:07
bulger established an illegal crime
00:22:09
empire
00:22:10
in south boston

years
00:22:19
and in the process earned an estimated
00:22:22
25 million dollars
00:22:28
from time to time the feds brought
00:22:29
whitey in for questioning
00:22:31
but they never had enough evidence to
00:22:33
nail them whitey bulger
00:22:35
seemed untouchable
00:22:38
south boston was a tight irish catholic
00:22:40
community
00:22:41
a place where whitey bulger felt right
00:22:44
at home
00:22:45
nothing happened in south boston without
00:22:47
his approval
00:22:49
every bit of illegal gaming loan
00:22:51
shocking drug dealing
00:22:53

00:22:54
he had to have a piece of it
00:22:56

now you're our friend again thanks
00:24:17
but connolly didn't like his new friends
00:24:20
he went to the fbi and helped them build
00:24:22
a case against the so-called
00:24:23
dawn of south boston tim connolly turned
00:24:27
to the fbi because he was scared
00:24:29
and i think um connolly decided that it
00:24:32
was time to start talking
00:24:33
are you implying that mr bulger
00:24:34
threatened you mr conley
00:24:37

00:24:41
fbi was finally able to tighten the
00:24:43
noose around bulger's operation

janine price is an ordinary woman with
00:27:12
extraordinary powers
00:27:17
janine says that she's had psychic
00:27:19
experiences ever since she was a child
00:27:22
they began with an ability to read minds
00:27:25
and to predict
00:27:26
the future when she was just
00:27:30
10 years old janine says that she was
00:27:33
consumed by a strong feeling that she
00:27:35
had a sister
00:27:36
that she had not met but her mother
00:27:39
refused
00:27:40
to discuss it she just
00:27:43
ignored me so then i became even more
00:27:47
obsessed with finding out who this
00:27:50
person was that i was seeing
00:27:52
that i went prying into my parents
00:27:53
personal effects one time
00:28:01
there were a lot of pictures of children
00:28:03
but this one picture i came across
00:28:06
when i touched it i knew it had to be
00:28:09
the person mama what what
00:28:14
who who's this is me where did you get
00:28:16
this
00:28:18
mom who is it it's nobody it's just a
00:28:21
picture
00:28:22
i i know who this is it's my sister
00:28:25

00:28:29
jeanine's mother finally admitted that
00:28:32
janine did have a half-sister
00:28:34
judy from her father's previous marriage
00:28:38
i then told my mother that mom i know
00:28:41
i'm going to meet her one day
00:28:42
and right after i meet her she's going
00:28:45
to die
00:28:47
but she says something's going to happen
00:28:49
to
00:28:50
judy says i i know she's going to die
00:28:54
and something with her head something's
00:28:56
something's
00:28:58
something with blood and in her head
00:29:00
it's like something's going to burst
00:29:03
when janine was older she finally had
00:29:06
the opportunity to meet her half-sister
00:29:09
one day her brother andrew showed up
00:29:12
with a long
00:29:13
lost judy
00:29:16
hi jeanine judy
00:29:19
how are you we bonded very very quickly
00:29:23
very closely matter of fact your eyes
00:29:26
are exactly i never told her that i had
00:29:28
a feeling that she was going to have a
00:29:29
short life after she had known me
00:29:31
it i just knew it wasn't my place to do
00:29:33
so
00:29:35
all the time there were times where i
00:29:37
want to say judy now don't go out the
00:29:38
door
00:29:40
because you're not going to live and
00:29:45
i want to spend a lot of time with you
00:29:47
[Music]
00:29:51
within a year judy was admitted to the
00:29:54
hospital complaining of severe headaches
00:29:56
her doctor said that it was only
00:29:58
migraines but
00:30:00
janine recalls that on her first visit
00:30:02
she sensed that her childhood
00:30:04
premonition
00:30:05
would soon come true
00:30:08
as soon as i touched judy the sense of
00:30:12
death
00:30:12
and illness was so strong i think i
00:30:16
became
00:30:16
too overbearing with the doctor
00:30:19
i started suggesting that he'd take
00:30:22
x-rays of her
00:30:23
her skull and her brain and cat scans
00:30:26
she needs a brain scan brain scout yes
00:30:29
is there some medical information
00:30:31
do you know the name of your former
00:30:32
doctor no but um
00:30:34
it's very important you see i didn't
00:30:36
want to tell you this but she
00:30:37
she has a brain aneurysm i remember the
00:30:40
doctor telling me
00:30:41
you don't even know what you're talking
00:30:42
but you're not the doctor and i said no
00:30:44
i'm not but i know my sister has an
00:30:46
aneurysm on her brain
00:30:50
i remember distinctly warning everyone
00:30:53
what they did for it wasn't enough that
00:30:54
she needed you know something to
00:30:56
detect there might be an internal
00:30:58
problem indeed there were
00:30:59
there was because uh shortly afterwards
00:31:02
she died
00:31:04
judy died at the age of 35.
00:31:08
the cause of death a brain aneurysm
00:31:13
for janine the loss was devastating
00:31:17
she sought out dr michael persinger an
00:31:20
expert on psychic phenomena
00:31:22
to help her understand her own abilities
00:31:25
when individuals feel that they can see
00:31:28
into the future
00:31:30
and they have verified experiences of
00:31:32
precognition what you find
00:31:34
is that these individuals brains are
00:31:36
organized in such a way
00:31:38
as that they can make connections
00:31:39
between events that most people cannot
00:31:43
dr persinger believes that psychic
00:31:46
episodes
00:31:47
results from short bursts of high levels
00:31:49
of electricity
00:31:51
within the brain similar to epileptic
00:31:54
seizures what precognition is
00:31:58
is that you're seeing things in time
00:32:01
outside the normal temporal frame
00:32:03
well suppose portions of the brain that
00:32:05
mediate
00:32:06
space and time are suddenly enhanced in
00:32:09
terms of activity
00:32:11
according to dr persinger the brain of
00:32:14
someone with
00:32:14
psychic abilities is something like a
00:32:17
television
00:32:18
that can receive channels that others
00:32:20
cannot
00:32:21
during what he calls psychic brain
00:32:23
seizures
00:32:24
they are more capable of receiving and
00:32:27
transmitting
00:32:28
these signals
00:32:33
of the 30 or 40 individuals with
00:32:35
janine's profile
00:32:36
many of them also report having the
00:32:39
ability to influence
00:32:40
objects at a distance the experiences
00:32:43
such as
00:32:44
light bulbs exploding around them radios
00:32:47
failing
00:32:48
glass breaking did you turn the light on
00:32:52
no i was in the other room there were
00:32:53
several incidents where
00:32:56
things actually exploded in my hands
00:32:59
i remember one time i was holding a
00:33:02
coffee pot
00:33:05
we finally had to remove all our glass
00:33:07
glasses out of the house
00:33:09
because they were if i touched them and
00:33:11
if i got upset
00:33:12
they would break in my hand in general
00:33:15
it appears that these occurrences
00:33:17
are associated with stress and tension
00:33:19
and the theory is
00:33:21
that they are a means of the mind of the
00:33:24
brain
00:33:24
to release the stress or tension in the
00:33:27
individual
00:33:28
janine says that a number of
00:33:30
psychokinetic activities occurred
00:33:33
during a very stressful time of her life
00:33:37
i can't talk to you
00:33:38
i've seen her get real upset she ended
00:33:41
her
00:33:42
ex-husband it had words and it was a
00:33:44
really a trying situation
00:33:47
what was that
00:33:51
it was just this like a magnetic force
00:33:53
just went and just just
00:33:55
pulled off the wall and slung it to the
00:33:56
other side of the room we were going out
00:33:58
to the car one day and i wasn't even
00:33:59
angry i was just charged up
00:34:01
mom can i have a dollar for lunch i'll
00:34:03
give it to you in the car
00:34:08
the force was so strong that
00:34:11
the energy that was coming off my hand
00:34:13
actually caused sparks and the
00:34:15
keys flew up out of my hand
00:34:20
come here what can you warm this up one
00:34:22
of the most
00:34:23
dramatic incidents apparently happened
00:34:25
when janine asked her son
00:34:27
to warm up a baby bottle in the
00:34:29
microwave
00:34:30
i put it on for one second my mom got
00:34:32
mad she went over there
00:34:34
and touched it and reset it
00:34:42
[Music]
00:34:44
when the repairman came he had no
00:34:46
explanation
00:34:47
for the microwave sudden destruction
00:34:52
we do not know what type of energy it is
00:34:54
so we
00:34:55
invent a term for it pk cyclokinesis
00:34:58
by looking at the brains of people such
00:35:01
as jeanine
00:35:02
we might get an understanding of the
00:35:04
form of energy
00:35:06
that causes these types of incidents
00:35:08
[Music]
00:35:11
scientists still cannot explain the
00:35:13
mysterious forces of
00:35:14
psychokinesis but the exploration has
00:35:18
helped janine
00:35:20
and others like her cope with the
00:35:22
powerful forces
00:35:24
in their lives
00:35:27
what what was what
00:35:32
want to try plugging it in
00:35:36
coming up when a kansas city man dies he
00:35:39
leaves more than 150
00:35:41
000 to his heirs but who are they
00:35:55
kansas city missouri
00:35:59
like many elderly people in america
00:36:02
george marsh
00:36:03
lived the last years of his life alone
00:36:06
he watched the world go by from a
00:36:08
wheelchair at his favorite window in a
00:36:10
nursing home
00:36:12
but marsh was also a man of mystery
00:36:15
he had quietly saved 175
00:36:19
thousand dollars worth as much in his
00:36:21
time
00:36:22
as nearly a half a million dollars today
00:36:26
he talked about how he used to work hard
00:36:28
and that was
00:36:29
it but just to look at him he didn't
00:36:32
appear
00:36:32
that he had that kind of money
00:36:37
george marsh moved to kansas city in
00:36:39
1917
00:36:41
for the next 20 years there are no
00:36:43
records
00:36:44
of his employment in 1942
00:36:48
he worked as a laborer for the railroad
00:36:50
but all details of that job were lost
00:36:53
many years ago
00:36:56
in the early 50s marsh was night
00:36:59
watchman for the armor meat packing
00:37:01
company
00:37:02
but those records were destroyed in a
00:37:03
fire
00:37:04
[Music]
00:37:07
for 60 years marsh lived downtown in the
00:37:10
quality hill area
00:37:14
these few facts of george marsha's life
00:37:17
were discovered
00:37:18
by kansas city inheritance investigator
00:37:21
michael ledman
00:37:22
i think george marsh was a very
00:37:24
secretive person he shared
00:37:25
his life with no one you would think you
00:37:28
would find one person
00:37:29
that would have had some communication
00:37:31
or been close to george in some way and
00:37:33
that's not the case
00:37:35
was a customer here at the store for 10
00:37:38
or 12 years
00:37:39
he was very conscious as to what he was
00:37:42
trying to buy he always tried to buy the
00:37:44
sale items the cheaper products
00:37:46
and as he left he always paid cash for
00:37:48
his groceries
00:37:51
in 1979 the apartment building where
00:37:53
marsh lived
00:37:54
was destroyed by a fire
00:38:01
george lost his home and all of his
00:38:03
belongings
00:38:05
totally alone he was forced to move into
00:38:08
a nursing home
00:38:10
he just sit in a chair all day long he
00:38:12
didn't have anything to say
00:38:15
he spoke with an accent like he might
00:38:18
have been
00:38:18
german he was right-handed and the
00:38:21
middle finger on his right hand was cut
00:38:23
off at the joint
00:38:26
and he had some numbers inside of his
00:38:27
arm numbers like
00:38:30
3 4 5 seven something like that
00:38:35
voter registration records show that
00:38:37
george may have been married
00:38:40
for a while lula mae marsh lived
00:38:43
at the same address as he did but she
00:38:46
seems to have disappeared from the
00:38:47
records
00:38:48
by 1946. he told me
00:38:51
one day when i asked that he had a son
00:38:54
but
00:38:55
he said i have no idea where he is i
00:38:58
haven't seen him for years
00:39:00
i don't know anything about him and then
00:39:02
tuned me out he was not
00:39:04
willing to elaborate
00:39:08
after george died it turned out that
00:39:10
george had nine
00:39:11
secret checking accounts in four
00:39:13
different banks
00:39:15
for a total of about 175 thousand
00:39:18
dollars
00:39:19
today that would be worth nearly a half
00:39:22
a million dollars
00:39:23
but george left no will this is all that
00:39:27
remains of george
00:39:28
r marsh an envelope that contains the
00:39:31
personal belongings of his turned over
00:39:33
to me by the nursing home
00:39:34
and that's a birth certificate some
00:39:36
pictures a divorce decree
00:39:39
according to his birth certificate
00:39:41
george was born in czechoslovakia
00:39:43
and christened joseph zalinka
00:39:46
the most mysterious thing about this
00:39:48
case is the fact there has been a change
00:39:51
of name apparently
00:39:52
the fact that he leads leaves a lot of
00:39:54
money we really
00:39:56
don't know how he accumulated that money
00:39:58
and
00:39:59
that there's no heirs and he cut off any
00:40:01
connection with heirs
00:40:04
one paper showed that he divorced a
00:40:06
woman named catherine zelenka
00:40:08
in 1932. there is no mention of george's
00:40:12
son
00:40:12
or of lula marsh he also left behind
00:40:16
five old and yellowed snapshots
00:40:21
the name catherine was written on the
00:40:23
back of this picture
00:40:26
this one has been signed your loving
00:40:28
niece eleanor
00:40:30
and this may be the only existing
00:40:32
photograph
00:40:33
of george marsh the voice shown here may
00:40:37
be
00:40:38
george's son
00:40:42
update after our broadcast we received a
00:40:46
call from one of george's long-lost
00:40:48
relatives
00:40:50
his niece eleanor when i looked up and
00:40:53
saw
00:40:54
my senior high school picture on tv
00:40:58

00:41:01
read your loving niece
00:41:03
eleanor i was just stunned
00:41:06

for him
00:41:24
for years i never know
00:41:27

00:42:06
