March 09, 2017 / 42:54

This episode of Unsolved Mysteries covers the murder of Florida rancher Larry Cin, the UFO sightings over Mexico City, the abduction of young girls in Canada, and the mysterious death of Nancy Manny.

The segment on Larry Cin details his murder in Lakeland, Florida, where he was found shot in his trailer. His girlfriend, Melissa Joe Sermans, is missing, leading to speculation about her involvement or abduction by her jealous ex-boyfriend. The investigation reveals no signs of struggle, and authorities consider Joe a suspect, although many believe she was taken against her will.

In Mexico City, a remarkable series of UFO sightings occurred during a solar eclipse in 1991. Eyewitnesses, including a television executive and students, captured video evidence of unidentified flying objects, prompting widespread media attention and public intrigue about the existence of UFOs.

The episode also recounts the tragic stories of young girls Mandy and Corine, who were victims of abduction and assault in Canada. Mandy was found alive after being left for dead, while Corine was tragically murdered. Investigators link the two cases, believing they were committed by the same perpetrator.

Finally, the episode discusses the mysterious death of Nancy Manny, a ship steward whose body was discovered in the Chesapeake Bay. Her ex-boyfriends become suspects, but the investigation reveals deeper connections to her union and potential drug trafficking.

TL;DR

Larry Cin is murdered in Florida, UFOs are sighted in Mexico, and young girls are abducted in Canada while Nancy Manny's death remains a mystery.

00:04:22
Larry and Joe went out to breakfast
00:04:24
around 2: a.m.
00:04:28
[Music]
00:04:31
It is believed they arrived back at his
00:04:33
trailer around 4:15 Sunday
00:04:36
morning after that no one knows exactly
00:04:40
what
00:04:41
happened the next morning Joe didn't
00:04:44
show up for
00:04:45
work earo contacted the sheriff's
00:04:48
department and drove with them to
00:04:50
Larry's trailer as soon as I got to the
00:04:53
trailer a feeling came to me that I knew
00:04:56
in my mind that something bad was wrong
00:04:59
I really appreciate it
00:05:02
do Sheriff's Office is anybody
00:05:05
home when the deuty put the key in and
00:05:07
open the door the smell was
00:05:11
[Music]
00:05:14
Unreal and I knew then that Larry was
00:05:19
dead Larry cin was found nude on his
00:05:23
bedroom floor he had been shot four
00:05:25
times with a handgun twice in the
00:05:28
head his
00:05:30
had not been slept in and one of Larry's
00:05:33
guns was missing however there was no
00:05:36
sign of a struggle or robbery there was
00:05:39
also no sign of Melissa Joe's
00:05:44
sermons I felt like both of them would
00:05:46
be there when we opened the door being
00:05:49
both of them was missing at the time as
00:05:51
soon as they told ear there was only one
00:05:53
body he called us and told us at that
00:05:55
time that my daughter was missing they
00:05:56
did not know where she was
00:05:58
at some somebody watched Larry knew Joe
00:06:02
was with Larry followed Larry home and
00:06:04
was waiting for
00:06:06
him personally I feel like it was
00:06:09
somebody real jealous of his actions
00:06:11
that particular night being with job
00:06:13
spending the night with
00:06:21
job I said out didn't I tell you to stay
00:06:24
away from him I think Joe was probably
00:06:26
taking a
00:06:27
gunpoint and and at a later time
00:06:29
murdered I think Joe's
00:06:34
did the Poke County Sheriff's Department
00:06:37
launched an allout
00:06:39
investigation Joe's ex-boyfriend was the
00:06:42
Prime
00:06:43
Suspect if we want to look at Joe's
00:06:46
ex-boyfriend as a suspect in this case I
00:06:48
think that he would have probably
00:06:50
committed the offense in in a different
00:06:52
situation I don't think that it would
00:06:54
have happened in the residence I don't
00:06:55
think he would have allowed Joe and
00:06:58
Larry to spend time in residence alone
00:07:01
and also the fact that of course there's
00:07:02
no
00:07:03
struggle he was able to give us an alibi
00:07:06
for his particular time and location
00:07:08
when the actual murder occurred I don't
00:07:11
feel that the ex-boyfriend uh at this
00:07:14
time has any involvement I have no
00:07:16
evidence to indicate
00:07:18
that soon Joe herself became a suspect
00:07:23
authorities believe she may be the only
00:07:25
person who could have gotten close
00:07:27
enough to Larry to kill him without a
00:07:29
struggle but why would she kill the man
00:07:32
she
00:07:34
loved I think Larry could have made her
00:07:37
mad he can make anybody mad in a split
00:07:42
second he'll push and push and push
00:07:45
until he does make you mad they might
00:07:48
have gotten an argument and it led into
00:07:51
one thing or
00:07:53
another I mean she could have been
00:07:56
joking but it just led into to something
00:08:00
violent okay go ahead and shoot me go
00:08:08
ahead in my heart I strongly believe
00:08:12
that she is life and that she is
00:08:16
[Music]
00:08:17
hiding based on everything that I've
00:08:20
learned at this time I feel that Joe is
00:08:23
in some way involved in the murder
00:08:25
either actually committing the murder or
00:08:27
possibly a witness to it
00:08:30
uh but she has some type of involvement
00:08:32
Andor knowledge about
00:08:36
it but most people believe Joe sermans
00:08:39
was a victim I think her ex-boyfriend's
00:08:42
kidnapped
00:08:44
her I hope she I would like to think
00:08:46
she's still alive but I really don't
00:08:49
believe that they could hold her this
00:08:51
long I believe she's dead I come to
00:08:54
terms with God I just want him to help
00:08:55
me settle this case to find out who did
00:08:58
it and let them pay the penalty that
00:09:00
they should pay ever since the night
00:09:03
Larry cin was murdered there have been
00:09:05
sightings of Melissa Joe sermons at
00:09:08
truck stops in Florida Texas and Kansas
00:09:11
two witnesses had claimed they saw her
00:09:14
behind the wheel of a big rig hauling
00:09:16
livestock the authorities believe the
00:09:18
sightings are
00:09:20
reliable erlo cin does not I feel like
00:09:24
by now she'd have made a a move to come
00:09:28
back or see her mother and her sisters I
00:09:31
can't believe that
00:09:33
anybody's ever really seen her they've
00:09:36
seen people that they thought maybe was
00:09:40
her Melissa Joe sermans is 5' 10 in tall
00:09:44
blonde and blueeyed when last scene she
00:09:47
weighed 175
00:09:50
lb if you have any information about

00:10:05
next a remarkable series of UFO
00:10:08
sightings were caught on tape in the
00:10:10
Skies over
00:10:20
Mexico when thousands of people claim to
00:10:22
have seen a UFO and hundreds provide
00:10:26
videotaped evidence even non-believers
00:10:29
have to to wonder do
00:10:31
UFOs really
00:10:35
exist Mexico City Mexico July 11th
00:10:40
1991 the last total eclipse of the sun
00:10:43
of the
00:10:45
century thousands of people stood in the
00:10:47
streets of Mexico City as it plunged
00:10:50
into total darkness in the middle of the
00:10:54
day a television executive named guo
00:10:57
aragain was videotaping ing the eclipse
00:11:00
when he noticed an unusual object
00:11:05
overhead when I saw it I said oh my God
00:11:09
this is a UFO a real UFO I mean you can
00:11:12
look at it you can look the video and be
00:11:15
absolutely convinced what are you
00:11:17
looking
00:11:19
at 8 days after the eclipse haime Maan a
00:11:23
respected television journalist
00:11:25
presented the aragen footage as part of
00:11:28
a special UFO
00:11:29
broadcast the network was flooded with
00:11:32
phone
00:11:33
calls the telephone lines blew up I mean
00:11:36
40,000 calls at the same time then the
00:11:41
the system was completely shut out we
00:11:44
received more than 15 videos and we now
00:11:47
know for sure that at least in seven of
00:11:49
them we can see the same ship that was
00:11:51
recorded by GMO
00:11:55
Arin Eric Aguilar a 19-year-old student
00:11:59
at a university in Mexico sent in one of
00:12:01
the many videos he was setting up to
00:12:04
film the eclipse from a rooftop when his
00:12:06
girlfriend spotted something unusual in
00:12:09
the
00:12:15
sky at first all we saw was a white dot
00:12:19
in the
00:12:20
sky that's all we could see in the
00:12:22
beginning later we saw that this dot was
00:12:28
shining brightly
00:12:30
it wasn't aamy it was a larger object
00:12:33
and it was giving off light it was
00:12:38
shining at about the same time 60 mi
00:12:41
from Mexico City a businessman named
00:12:44
Luis Lara videotaped a similar
00:12:50
object as I raised the camera you could
00:12:53
see something in the clouds and it was a
00:12:56
metal object
00:13:00
you can see clearly it's not a
00:13:02
star it's a UFO because it had a shadow
00:13:06
underneath if it were a star a planet
00:13:08
you would see clearly that it would be
00:13:09
completely
00:13:10
luminous but this one had a little
00:13:12
Shadow
00:13:17
underneath another video was shot by the
00:13:20
Bruton family in pbla a city 80 m east
00:13:23
of Mexico
00:13:26
City in the magnified reton video you
00:13:30
can see an odd wavelike disturbance
00:13:33
behind the pulsating disc some kind of
00:13:36
energy
00:13:38
tra hamee mosan enhanced the hour gain
00:13:42
footage and compared it to the Bruton
00:13:44
tape the objects were photographed
00:13:46
nearly 100 m apart yet they were
00:13:49
amazingly
00:13:51
similar uh the video from pbla was
00:13:55
absolutely
00:13:56
identical to the one we had seen with
00:13:59
Arin in
00:14:00
Mexico it was for the first time in
00:14:02
history never before we you had a tape
00:14:06
of two UFOs in two different places at
00:14:09
exactly the same
00:14:11
moment but there was more 2 months later
00:14:14
at a military air show in Mexico City an
00:14:18
engineer named vincenti Sanchez shot
00:14:21
this
00:14:23
[Music]
00:14:24
video I was following one of the planes
00:14:27
and I saw a shiny dot in the camera
00:14:30
it didn't fly like a plane it was
00:14:32
undulating I didn't know what it was so
00:14:35
I let the planes go off and I focused
00:14:37
more on this shiny dot in the
00:14:41
sky what I saw was a bright round object
00:14:46
about 10 m in diameter it was made of
00:14:49
silver was shining very brightly and
00:14:52
reflected the sunlight a
00:14:55
lot the object appeared undulated and
00:14:58
moved around very
00:15:01
quickly a year later the military air
00:15:04
show was staged again and again
00:15:07
Witnesses saw a mysterious flying
00:15:10
object this time the disc descended
00:15:13
rapidly and
00:15:17
vanished it is now a year later at the
00:15:20
same air show everyone anticipated
00:15:23
another sighting sure enough just as a
00:15:25
squadron of helicopters flew by the
00:15:28
familiar metallic disc
00:15:33
appeared it was traveling Against the
00:15:35
Wind so much so that had it been a
00:15:37
balloon considering the force of the
00:15:39
helicopter blades it would have crashed
00:15:42
but no it kept on its path very very
00:15:45
straight and steady till it got lost in
00:15:47
the
00:15:48
sky Optical enhancement of this video
00:15:51
seemed to reveal that the object crossed
00:15:53
in close proximity to the
00:15:57
helicopters the military hasn't make any
00:16:00
comment on that sighting or any sighting
00:16:03
and there are many more where we can
00:16:05
relate the military or military planes
00:16:09
to videos and however we haven't have
00:16:13
any kind of answer from
00:16:18
them since the eclipse there have been
00:16:21
thousands of sightings throughout Mexico
00:16:24
the witnesses range from Pilots to
00:16:26
doctors to bus drivers and even
00:16:29
school
00:16:31
children these drawings were made by a
00:16:33
class of fifth graders who say that they
00:16:36
saw the UFOs the pictures are strikingly
00:16:39
similar in detail three shining lights
00:16:42
with the brightest light in the
00:16:45
[Music]
00:16:48
center the objects were silver with red
00:16:53
one of them was coming down and the
00:16:56
other one that you could see in the sky
00:16:59
was
00:17:02
silver when they were a little lower you
00:17:04
could see the shape of the
00:17:06
objects they were like saucers with a
00:17:09
dome everything silver and though it was
00:17:12
harder to see there seemed to be a kind
00:17:15
of reddish magnetic field all around
00:17:19
it we haven't found a single reason why
00:17:22
these little kids made this story up
00:17:26
there were so many and when you talk to
00:17:29
them you can feel the honesty that they
00:17:32
transmit they're just little kids they
00:17:34
don't care about the UFO conspiracy they
00:17:37
don't care about if they are real or not
00:17:40
they saw what they
00:17:41
saw are the UFOs
00:17:45
real it's hard to deny the images
00:17:47
captured on
00:17:49
videotape a skeptic would suspect a
00:17:52
hoax but for those who have witnessed
00:17:55
the mysterious objects in the sky over
00:17:57
Mexico
00:17:59
seeing is
00:18:05
believing next viewers help capture an
00:18:08
alleged con man who infiltrated audist
00:18:12
cap and later he is known as the heart
00:18:16
attacker he's broken the hearts and bank
00:18:19
accounts of women all over the country
00:18:31
Pearson
00:18:33
Florida we recently told you the story
00:18:36
of Rusty a newcomer to the sunny Sand's
00:18:39
nudest
00:18:41
Resort as soon as he arrived Rusty
00:18:44
became a favorite among the club's
00:18:47
members he opened a video rental store
00:18:50
in a nearby town and convinced some of
00:18:52
Sunny Sand's residents to invest
00:18:54
thousands of dollars in his business
00:18:58
then just 7 months after he arrived a
00:19:02
neighbor's 11-year-old daughter accused
00:19:04
Rusty of molesting
00:19:08
her he was arrested for sexual battery
00:19:11
against a child Under 12 and the court
00:19:14
ordered him to be held without
00:19:16
[Music]
00:19:18
bail however many of Sunny Sand's
00:19:21
residents believed in Rusty they were
00:19:23
sure he was innocent they convinced the
00:19:26
judge to release him on 25 $5,000
00:19:32
bail but Rusty's supporters were wrong 2
00:19:37
Days Later Rusty disappeared taking with
00:19:40
him more than
00:19:41
$50,000 of the Investor's money as well
00:19:44

00:21:15
restaurants and friendship clubs excuse
00:21:18
me hi a woman we'll call Barbara was one
00:21:22
of his many victims I was out with a
00:21:24
friend and we were sitting and having a
00:21:26
drink and he sent over drinks and and
00:21:28
got to talking and that's how we first
00:21:32
met first impression when I first saw
00:21:35
him no Style no
00:21:38
class however he was warm very friendly
00:21:42
he had a good sense of humor so I
00:21:44
started dating him I thought well he was
00:21:46
a pretty nice
00:21:49
guy the power vested in Me by the state
00:21:51
of New York I Now Pronounce You man and
00:21:54
wife you may now kiss the
00:21:56
bride after only 7 weeks Barbara married
00:22:00
Lis carluchi in a small ceremony at the
00:22:03
bar where they' first met right after
00:22:06
the wedding their relationship began to
00:22:08
fall apart he kind of jumped on me for
00:22:12
talking to other people at the wedding
00:22:15
and he got very angry about the idea
00:22:19
possibly that we even got
00:22:22
married after the honeymoon they moved
00:22:25
into an unfurnished apartment in New
00:22:27
York where they lived out of suitcase
00:22:32
cases haruchi would not let Barbara out
00:22:34
of his sight and paid for their living
00:22:37
expenses with Barbara's credit
00:22:40
card the change in his attitude and his
00:22:43
personality shocked me because there
00:22:45
were times when he was real nice and
00:22:48
then all of a sudden he'd flip and it
00:22:50
would be like black and white and then I
00:22:53
really got
00:22:55
scared I didn't have what he thought I
00:22:57
had which was money
00:22:59
the man was very physical you ever pull
00:23:03
that again I couldn't turn my head he'
00:23:06
pull my hair if I look the wrong way I'd
00:23:08
get
00:23:09
smacked of course I couldn't talk to
00:23:11
anyone at all and if we were in a
00:23:13
restaurant I couldn't even order
00:23:15
anything from the waitress because he
00:23:17
felt like I was looking at the person to
00:23:20
Signal or whatever can I get you some
00:23:22
dessert don't thank you just a check man
00:23:25
just a check carluchi maxed out
00:23:28
Barbara's credit cards emptied her bank
00:23:30
account and when they went out together
00:23:33
he used Barbara's money until it ran
00:23:37
out Barbara was
00:23:43
desperate I was just held captive let's
00:23:45
put it that way for about 6
00:23:49
months he caught me with the razor I was
00:23:51
going to cut my wrist because that was
00:23:54
the only way I could get
00:23:55
out he knew that I was going to die
00:23:58
whether I did it myself or I would just
00:24:00
waste away and die so his reaction was
00:24:03
well I may as well let you go cuz you're
00:24:05
going to
00:24:09
die 6 months after their wedding LS

Manny Nancy Manny was one of of the few
00:25:58
female members of the seaf farers
00:26:00
international Union she had even worked
00:26:03
on giant Freighters that fed natural gas
00:26:06
all over the world but now she was dead
00:26:09
possibly murdered her two ex-boyfriends
00:26:13
became the prime
00:26:15
suspects when was the last time you saw
00:26:17
Nancy Wednesday Billy Mesmer one of
00:26:20
nany's ex-boyfriends was questioned 2
00:26:23
days after her body was found Billy had
00:26:26
written poems to nany while they were
00:26:27
like
00:26:30
now those poems aroused suspicion
00:26:32
perhaps most disturbing were these lines
00:26:36
excited breath escapes his lips while he
00:26:39
waits without the light no one will ever
00:26:42
hear your screams as the Predator begins
00:26:45
to bite the poem was signed sweet dreams
00:26:49
Billy the title
00:26:53
nightstalker I've had experts look at it
00:26:56
trying to analyze it and they have
00:26:58
concur that you know he did have an
00:27:00
obsession with Nancy at this
00:27:03
time yeah I can understand where they
00:27:05
would come up with the word uh obsessive
00:27:09
Nancy was the love of my life I wrote
00:27:12
her poetry constantly which is a very
00:27:15
obsessive thing it's full of feelings
00:27:17
and
00:27:18
emotion Billy insisted he would never
00:27:21
hurt Nancy but it was clear that she was
00:27:24
an independent woman and might not have
00:27:26
had the same passion for him that he had
00:27:29
for her she was very attractive and fun
00:27:33
she you know had a lot of boyfriends but
00:27:35
she hadn't really found a person that
00:27:37
she was destined to spend the rest of
00:27:39
her life with she left you for someone
00:27:43
else I don't understand why you keep
00:27:46
accusing me of things I really felt that
00:27:48
the investigation was going in the wrong
00:27:50
direction they were crawling all over me
00:27:52
with a microscope and I was terribly
00:27:55
frustrated that the person who actually
00:27:58
did this was going to get away she came
00:28:00
by Billy Mesmer had a plausible Alibi
00:28:03
and was cleared as a suspect but not
00:28:06
before he pointed the finger at certain
00:28:08
members of the seaf far's International
00:28:13
Union at the time of her death Nancy had
00:28:16
been studying at this Union run Training
00:28:18
Center she was dating a union member who
00:28:21
was connected to the
00:28:23
[Music]
00:28:24
school Billy says that Nancy came to his
00:28:27
apartment a few days before her
00:28:29
death hey Nancy come on in hi
00:28:34
Billy are you
00:28:36
okay Nancy had a very very bad falling
00:28:40
out with her
00:28:42
boyfriend he had told her that if she
00:28:47
didn't do things as he wanted he would
00:28:50
make things very difficult for her
00:28:51
within the union she simply said if you
00:28:56
do this then and I will expose you for
00:28:59
what you are according to Billy the
00:29:02
secret Nancy threatened to reveal may
00:29:04
have had something to do with illegal
00:29:08
drugs it's been rumored for years that
00:29:11
certain members of the Union have been
00:29:14
involved in international drug
00:29:16
trafficking not only that but possible
00:29:21
disappearances within the union and
00:29:23
within the local community I've had
00:29:25
several people come cles Rec L to me to
00:29:30
report that they suspected uh illegal
00:29:35
activity at the school was the cause of
00:29:36
Nancy's death and they fear for their
00:29:39
lives or their jobs which is why they
00:29:41
don't want to be known after her death I
00:29:45
had received some telephone calls from
00:29:48
friends of hers that were also union
00:29:50
members who had told us that they felt
00:29:53
that her death was not accidental and
00:29:56
that it was possibly linked with the
00:29:58
Union and with the
00:30:00
school for Nancy's sister Linda the
00:30:03
rumors seemed even more believable when
00:30:05
she received ny's personal effects from
00:30:08
the
00:30:10
school in going through ny's things I
00:30:12
had noticed that a lot of things were
00:30:15
missing particularly pictures of her
00:30:17
Union boyfriend and his
00:30:19
family and I know that she wouldn't have
00:30:22
thrown them away she would have kept
00:30:25
those there was more nany's camera was
00:30:29
empty and its internal mechanism jammed
00:30:32
as if someone had forcibly ripped out a
00:30:34
roll of
00:30:36
film I feel that someone had tampered
00:30:38
with her camera and so that led me to be
00:30:41
more suspicious that someone in the
00:30:42
school had obviously entered her
00:30:44
[Music]
00:30:47
room there are also suspicions about
00:30:50
nany's final work assignment before
00:30:53
entering the school nany sailed on the
00:30:55
SS myquiz a ship which employed many
00:30:58
union members she died in August in June
00:31:02
I got the slaughter from her when she
00:31:04
was working on the
00:31:06
ssmz one paragraph says things are so
00:31:10
bad on this ship that I'm getting death
00:31:13
threats
00:31:14
now and I let that go and I regret it
00:31:18
every day that I didn't demand to know
00:31:20
who exactly said that and why and what
00:31:23
exactly was said investigators also
00:31:26
thought there could be a link between
00:31:28
Nancy's death and the 1988 murder of a
00:31:31
young woman named Elizabeth Greenberg
00:31:34
like Nancy Elizabeth had the same hair
00:31:36
color same eye color and they were
00:31:39
nearly identical in height and weight
00:31:41
Elizabeth was also a ship Steward and
00:31:44
also a member of the sea farers Union
00:31:47
Elizabeth even worked the same Indonesia
00:31:49
to Japan trade route that Nancy would
00:31:52
sail a few years later both women were
00:31:55
attending the Union's training school
00:31:57
when they died and both women were found
00:32:00
floating in the Chesapeake
00:32:03
Bay it's Eerie when you look at both
00:32:07
cases the similarities in their life and
00:32:09
their Lifestyles as yet we haven't found
00:32:12
a common denominator between the two
00:32:15
boyfriends or close friends but uh
00:32:18
somewhere along the line there's got to
00:32:21
be a
00:32:22
thread I fear that Nancy's death is
00:32:24
going to be simply written off as
00:32:28
unsolved and even though everyone in the
00:32:30
county knows that something Cloak and
00:32:32
Dagger is going on they're terrified to
00:32:35
talk about it with the information that
00:32:37
has been given to me on an anonymous
00:32:39
basis over the past 2 years since
00:32:42
Nancy's death I'm beginning to fear for
00:32:44
my own
00:32:48
life
00:32:50
update more than 3 years after Nancy
00:32:53
Manny's body was found in the Chesapeake
00:32:56
Bay Police received an performance tip
00:32:58
that led to a surprising new
00:33:01
development a new suspect in the case
00:33:04
John David om Oma was serving time in
00:33:08
prison where he bragged to a fellow
00:33:10
inmate that he killed a girl featured as
00:33:13
he said on that show Unsolved Mysteries
00:33:16
when first questioned Oma said he met
00:33:18
Nancy in a bar he claimed that they had
00:33:21
gone back to the ship where she worked
00:33:23
and that she fell
00:33:24
overboard later om pleaded guilty to
00:33:27
second degree murder and was sentenced
00:33:29
to an additional 18 years he has since
00:33:33
been
00:33:35
released next a vicious sexual predator
00:33:40
abducts young girls and leaves them for
00:33:52
dead Edmonton
00:33:55
Canada mom
00:33:59
I forgot my
00:34:01
shoes three-year-old Mandy lived with
00:34:04
her aunt across the street from a
00:34:13
park Mandy spent most of her afternoons
00:34:16
at the playground which was almost like
00:34:18
her own
00:34:21
backyard come on you can do
00:34:24
it early one evening Mandy went back to
00:34:27
the park to get her shoes that she had
00:34:29
left by the
00:34:34
slide okay
00:34:38
guys she never came
00:34:54
home I got worried and I went out to go
00:34:57
and find her and when I did get out to
00:35:00
the park there was a guy out there
00:35:02
playing ball hockey with his kids he
00:35:05
said he had just seen Mandy about 5
00:35:08
minutes earlier getting her shoes but he
00:35:11
didn't see which way Mandy went Bandy
00:35:15
Audrey searched the area for two solid
00:35:17
hours finally she called the police they
00:35:20
too came up empty-handed
00:35:23
[Music]
00:35:28
19 hours later a group of horseback
00:35:30
Riders found Mandy in a remote F 9 miles
00:35:35
from her
00:35:36
home Daryl just a minute Mandy had a
00:35:39
1-in welt on her neck from being choked
00:35:42
and had been sexually assaulted she was
00:35:45
partially clothed and both of her shoes
00:35:47
were
00:35:51
missing it was quite obvious to everyone
00:35:53
involved that she would had been left
00:35:55
for dead she was injured to such an
00:35:57
extent that
00:35:58
that the perpetrator definitely wanted
00:36:00
her to be
00:36:02
dead but thankfully Mandy was still
00:36:06
alive I wouldn't have believed that she
00:36:09
could have made it out there where they
00:36:11
found her but then when when I thought
00:36:14
about it after she's she's she was a
00:36:17
miracle it was a miracle she lived
00:36:20
through
00:36:23
that apparently the as salent had driven
00:36:26
into the field and thrown Mandy from the
00:36:29
car without
00:36:31
stopping Mandy initially wasn't able to
00:36:33
tell us an awful lot she was only 3 and
00:36:36
1/2 years old however as time progresses
00:36:39
she is giving us more and more
00:36:41
information she is actually a very
00:36:43
bright young girl uh in my opinion uh if
00:36:47
she sees the person or person's
00:36:49
responsible she will be able to identify
00:36:52
them I think we have something over here
00:36:54
within 5 miles of the spot where Mandy
00:36:56
was found police discovered tattered
00:36:59
pieces of her skirt and one of her
00:37:02
sneakers they believed the as salent
00:37:05
tossed them out right after he dumped
00:37:07
Mandy by the side of the
00:37:10
road command post you send a member of
00:37:13
ID end up location the shoe was minus
00:37:15
the laces uh we're still missing at this
00:37:17
time her left shoe the person
00:37:20
responsible may be saving these items as
00:37:23
a bit of a trophy and we're hopeful as
00:37:26
well that perhaps some somebody may have
00:37:28
seen the shoe or perhaps a part of that
00:37:30
jean skirt in a person's
00:37:33
vehicle 4 months after the assault a
00:37:36
local newspaper reported that the police
00:37:38
had uncovered no further

00:38:35
set up a command post and launched a
00:38:37
widespread
00:38:39
search we we was just feeling sick and
00:38:42
worried what could happened to her and

1/2 to 7 this is a patented tread design
00:39:51
manufactured in Canada we were able to
00:39:54
determine that Karine was in fact killed
00:39:56
at another location and dumped in the
00:39:58
truckyard much the same as what happened
00:40:00
to Mandy being dumped in the
00:40:03
field the distance the victims were
00:40:05
transported after
00:40:07
abduction uh what was done to the
00:40:10
victims by the
00:40:11
offender uh all facts of the case uh
00:40:15
lead me to believe that both crimes were
00:40:18
committed by the same
00:40:21
individual Ron McCay is Canada's
00:40:24
foremost criminal profiler he has
00:40:26
developed a detailed personality
00:40:29
portrait of the
00:40:31
asent in my opinion this offender is uh
00:40:34
in his lens to early 20s he probably
00:40:37
doesn't have a
00:40:38
girlfriend somewhat of a
00:40:40
loner he's a Fantasy motivated
00:40:44
individual uh and his fantasy is only
00:40:47
satisfied
00:40:48
temporarily so therefore uh after he
00:40:52
regains some confidence uh and if the
00:40:55
fantasy continues untreated
00:40:57
uh then the probability of him re
00:40:59
offending in a similar fashion is a very
00:41:02
real
00:41:04
probability someone out there knows this
00:41:07
guy our bad guy doesn't have to look
00:41:11
like any kind of a monster he could just
00:41:13
look like your boy next
00:41:15
door I know it would give our family a
00:41:18
sense of relief knowing that he's he's
00:41:20
Behind Bars and they're not somebody
00:41:23
else isn't going to have to go through
00:41:24
it what we're going through and some
00:41:26
Port of little kid isn't going to have
00:41:28
to suffer like like Corine must have and
00:41:32
as long as he's out on the streets every
00:41:34
little kid is in
00:41:40
Jeopardy
