on unsolved mysteries at a uranium
00:00:09
processing plant a worker vanishes
00:00:12
and his remains turn up in a furnace was
00:00:15
he murdered
00:00:16
because he knew too much a police chief
00:00:19
tries to run a street gang out of town
00:00:21

00:00:40
is there any reasonable explanation
00:00:44
sound intriguing well stick around these

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
however authorities are prepared to
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
00:22:03
including
00:22:04
alcatraz after his release
00:22:07
bulger established an illegal crime
00:22:09
empire
00:22:10
in south boston
00:22:14
according to authorities he ruled his
00:22:16
turf with an iron fist for more than 20
00:22:18
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
if it happened he had to sanction it and
00:22:54
he had to have a piece of it
00:22:56
stephen i swear if only bobby friday

00:23:12
his unfinished business
00:23:15

00:23:17

in cash bulger realized that they got
00:24:03
half of the money

00:24:06
and everything was forgiven
00:24:08
out of florida yeah conley claims that

bulger then came out put his arm around
00:24:13
him said
00:24:13
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
yes he did sir with connolly's help the
00:24:41
fbi was finally able to tighten the
00:24:43
noose around bulger's operation
00:24:45
whitey bulger was indicted along with

00:24:49
also indicted was cadillac frank salemme

flemmi and when they did
00:24:58
they were unable to locate frank salemme
00:25:01

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
isn't it
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
i couldn't believe it so then when he
00:41:01
read your loving niece
00:41:03
eleanor i was just stunned
00:41:06
i was just amazed and then the very next
00:41:10
picture was uncle joe
00:41:11
and i said my gosh that's uncle joe
00:41:15
[Music]
00:41:17
the zelenka family lives in rock springs
00:41:19
wyoming
00:41:21
george's brother jim has been looking
00:41:23
for him
00:41:24
for years i never know
00:41:27
no idea why he kept away
00:41:31
from the family because there's no hard
00:41:33
feelings
00:41:35
we were all united always
00:41:39
the estate of george marsh who was known
00:41:41
to his family as joe
00:41:43
will be divided between jim and eleanor
00:41:46
and joe's other surviving relatives
00:41:48
but more importantly they want to keep
00:41:51
his memory alive
00:41:53
they have brought back his body to the
00:41:55
family burial site
00:41:57
the money you don't mean as much as
00:42:00
finding out where he's at i just feel
00:42:03
good all over to know that i located him
00:42:06
and
00:42:07
know where he's at and i'd be able to
00:42:09
bring his body back
00:42:10
to rest with the rest of his family
