for the past several years the United
00:02:19
States government is embarked on a
00:02:20
highly publicized war on drugs
00:02:23
sadly some experts and politicians
00:02:25
believe we might be losing that war due
00:02:27
in part to the extraordinary lengths
00:02:29
drug smugglers are willing to go they're
00:02:32
about to take you inside one of the most
00:02:34
brazen and elaborate drug smuggling

[Music]
00:02:42
Douglas Arizona is a sleepy border town
00:02:45
97 miles south of Phoenix just a stone's
00:02:50
throw across a 6-foot high chain-link
00:02:52
fence is the Mexican border town of Agua
00:02:55
Prieta
00:02:57
[Music]
00:02:59
the Douglas have appeared the area in
00:03:00
one of the main conduits for cocaine
00:03:03
coming into the United States and for
00:03:05
that reason it's known as the cocaine
00:03:08
alley in the fall of 1988 a Mexican
00:03:14
national named Rafael Camarena began to
00:03:16
cross the border daily from Agua Prieta
00:03:18
entered Douglas her marina had purchased
00:03:22
a concrete mixing company and Douglas
00:03:25
was struggling to make a go of his new
00:03:26
business when he first bought the
00:03:32
business things weren't going that well
00:03:35
it wasn't successful we were paid on
00:03:42
Fridays and at times on Thursday she'd
00:03:47
be saying something to the effect of I
00:03:50
have no money what am I gonna do for
00:03:52
payroll tomorrow later mr. comedy and I
00:03:57
will come in and send hey I took care of
00:03:59
it
00:04:00
you know here's your paycheck he seemed
00:04:02
too relieved like you know I took a load
00:04:04
off within a few months karma Reyna had
00:04:09
secured agreements to supply concrete
00:04:11
for many of the municipal construction
00:04:13
projects and Douglas and I have spoken
00:04:18
to mr. camreta he he had told me that he
00:04:20
planned to be here for a number of years
00:04:23
[Applause]
00:04:25
he would check in on the business once
00:04:28
or twice a day he spent a lot of time in
00:04:30
Mexico I see him pursuing contracts over
00:04:33
in our Prieta but yes he was an on hands
00:04:36
type of business owner he could have
00:04:40
opened up a business anywhere in the
00:04:41
United States of America
00:04:43
[Music]
00:04:46
in 1989 Camarena constructed a large
00:04:49
warehouse in Douglas at the same time
00:04:52
just 200 feet away in Agua Prieta he
00:04:55
built a four-bedroom ranch style home
00:04:57
the home located in a wealthy area of
00:05:00
Agua Prieta and all the amenities that
00:05:02
come with success
00:05:09
mr. Camarena seemed to be a good husband
00:05:13
and a good father this gentleman was a
00:05:17
type of person that you would ask to
00:05:19
join your local Lions Club he's a type
00:05:21
of person that that you would want to be
00:05:23
as your friend he was a type of person
00:05:26
that you would enjoy inviting over to
00:05:29
your house in reality Camarena's entire
00:05:38
life was nothing but a devious facade
00:05:41
created to cover up a very lucrative and
00:05:44
very illegal enterprise
00:05:49
u.s. customs officials received
00:05:51
information that Camarena was smuggling
00:05:53
drugs miss Holman Agua Prieta across the
00:05:56
border to his warehouse in Douglas
00:05:59
incredibly Camarena's business was
00:06:02
located one block away from the u.s.
00:06:04
customs headquarters early 1990 we
00:06:08
initiated 24-hour surveillance of the
00:06:11
Douglas ready-mix company I think we've
00:06:15
got something
00:06:16
agents staked out Camarena's business
00:06:18
for over two months
00:06:19
yes company all right
00:06:24
they became suspicious of a flatbed
00:06:27
truck that arrived and departed from a
00:06:29
new warehouse nearly every day on one
00:06:34
occasion we followed the tractor-trailer
00:06:36
rig from Douglas ready-mix to a rural
00:06:40
area outside of Phoenix Arizona
00:06:44
[Applause]
00:06:46
a special testicles comprised of us
00:06:48
customers and other law enforcement
00:06:50
officers raided a farm or Camarena's
00:06:52
truck had been seen agent seized over a
00:06:59
ton of nearly pure cocaine street value
00:07:02
over 100 million dollars the cocaine had
00:07:06
been transported inside a hidden
00:07:08
compartment beneath the trucks bed the
00:07:11
raid confirmed that the drugs had come
00:07:13
from Camarena's warehouse but agents
00:07:16
were baffled
00:07:17
Howard Camarena managed to smuggle drugs
00:07:20
into his warehouse which was being
00:07:21
watched around-the-clock by federal
00:07:23
agents just a block away we began
00:07:28
receiving bits and pieces of information
00:07:31
from a variety of sources
00:07:32
concerning a the existence of a tunnel
00:07:35
in the Douglas area
00:07:40
two days later ages from the United
00:07:43
States and Mexico launched simultaneous
00:07:45
raids on Camarena's warehouse in Douglas
00:07:47
and his new home in Agua Prieta
00:07:51
[Music]
00:07:54
Mexican authorities arrested two men who
00:07:56
claim to be gardeners Camarena and his
00:07:59
family had fled there was no visible
00:08:04
evidence of a tunnel at the Douglas
00:08:09
warehouse US agents at first found
00:08:11
nothing unusual then they came upon a
00:08:14
large floor drain
00:08:24
[Music]
00:08:29
we found out about a five and a half
00:08:32
diameter shaft that went 30 feet into
00:08:34
the ground and at the bottom of the
00:08:37
shaft we found the tunnel itself
00:08:39
[Music]
00:08:44
this is the actual tunnel through which
00:08:46
between 15 and 25 tons of cocaine may
00:08:50
have been smuggled the execution was
00:08:53
really very good floor the side walls
00:08:56
and the roof were all concrete the
00:09:01
tunnel itself extended 200 plus feet
00:09:04
into Mexico when authorities uncovered
00:09:08
the tunnels entrance beneath Camarena's
00:09:09
home it became clear that this was no
00:09:12
ordinary drug smuggling operation it was
00:09:17
something right out of a James Bond
00:09:19
movie
00:09:20
[Music]
00:09:32
hydraulic pedestals lifted the pool
00:09:34
table at a 2-ton section of concrete
00:09:36
floor to expose the entrance huge
00:09:40
amounts of drugs could be stored below
00:09:42
until they were ready to be moved across
00:09:44
the border
00:09:46
[Music]
00:09:47
the drugs were transported on a
00:09:50
specially designed cart at the Douglas
00:09:54
and the custom-made hoist lifted the
00:09:56
illegal cargo into the warehouse
00:09:58
[Music]
00:10:05
workers packed the cocaine bricks into
00:10:07
the false bottom of the truck
00:10:12
the contraband was driven out right
00:10:14
under the noses of US customs officials
00:10:18
come on his choice of a building supply
00:10:21
company in a cement company was very
00:10:23
good in that it gave him access to
00:10:25
trucks and could be used to transport
00:10:27
the narcotics from the border area to
00:10:30
distribution points in the United States
00:10:32
in my 18 years with the Customs Service
00:10:36
is one of the most amazing
00:10:38
investigations I've ever encountered the
00:10:41
sophistication of the of the smugglers
00:10:44
the the construction of this tunnel
00:10:46
itself just demonstrates to what
00:10:48
extremes these organizations will go to
00:10:51
it just totally surprised me because
00:10:54
here's a man that moved a hundred
00:10:56
million dollars of cocaine illegally
00:11:00
into the United States and yet he was
00:11:02
fine for every penny that he made at
00:11:04
Douglas ready-mix mr. Camarena didn't
00:11:07
seem at all like a drug dealer he didn't
00:11:10
dress like a drug dealer he didn't come
00:11:13
across
00:11:14
personality-wise as a drug dealer he
00:11:17
just seemed like a good family man
00:11:33
[Music]
00:11:49
recently we featured the case of 46 year
00:11:52
old Dennis - pew lauded by Michigan
00:11:54
authorities for the brutal murder of his
00:11:56
ex-wife Maryland Depew was last seen on
00:11:59
the day of the murder driving his
00:12:01
customized van at around 8:30 on the
00:12:06
night of our broadcast a woman who asked
00:12:08
that we call her Mary arrived at her
00:12:10
home outside Dallas Texas Mary's
00:12:13
boyfriend Hank queen was already home
00:12:16
his van was parked in the driveway
00:12:20
which was out of the ordinary because he
00:12:23
usually kept it inside the garage he
00:12:32
told me that his mother was very ill and
00:12:36
then he nae needed to make an emergency
00:12:38
I'm gonna drive up here could you make
00:12:40
me some sandwiches that I could take on
00:12:42
it's a really long drive I was sure that
00:12:44
something else must really be going on
00:12:47
but I didn't know what he was getting
00:12:54
clothes out of the closet clothes out of
00:12:56
some drawers gathering up some of his
00:12:59
personal items it's same time giving me
00:13:02
instructions on preparing some food for
00:13:06
him to take on the long trip me hug he
00:13:26
just gave me a little peck of a kiss and
00:13:31
I gave you the big hug
00:13:32
and said goodbye to him I realized that
00:13:39
something was troubling him and I knew I
00:13:42
would never see him again
00:13:45
[Music]
00:13:47
later that night Barry was shocked to
00:13:50
learn that her boyfriend had Queen was
00:13:52
really Dennis de PUE and that he had
00:13:54
just been featured on unsolved mysteries
00:13:58
on Easter Sunday of last year
00:14:01
Dennis tip you ride that his ex-wife
00:14:03
Marilyn's home to pick up their children
00:14:05
for a scheduled visit Dennis erupted in
00:14:10
a violent rage he accused Maryland of
00:14:13
destroying his life and turning their
00:14:15
children against him the next day
00:14:22
Maryland depew's body was discovered in
00:14:24
a roadside ditch nine miles from her
00:14:26
home she had been shot once in the back
00:14:28
of the head
00:14:31
it was so brutal and premeditated that
00:14:35
makes you so angry if she had been
00:14:38
killed in an automobile accident you
00:14:41
could get over that but not this
00:14:47
for nearly a year Denis Tipu's
00:14:49
whereabouts remained a mystery until the
00:14:51
night of our broadcast
00:14:54
looking back on it now I'm sure he was
00:14:57
watching and I think that he was
00:15:01
deliberately keeping
00:15:04
attention distracted in the kitchen so
00:15:07
that I wouldn't see the same and so that
00:15:09
he could leave
00:15:12
a friend of Mary's called our telecenter
00:15:14
and provided authorities with a Texas
00:15:16
license plate number of Dennis two pews
00:15:18
van four hours later the pews life came
00:15:22
to a violent end just across the
00:15:24
louisiana mississippi state border a
00:15:29
louisiana state trooper spotted depew's
00:15:31
van they attempted to pull him over he
00:15:34
led police on a 15 mile high speed chase
00:15:38
and broke through police barricades I
00:15:43
told the David agency if the van refused
00:15:47
to stop to shoot a tire over the front
00:15:49
time and they missed the front tire but
00:15:53
to get both back won he traveled about
00:15:55
half a mile and just went going to
00:15:58
felony stop after firing two shots
00:16:01
through his windshield at deputies and
00:16:03
another through an open window the pew
00:16:05
turned his gun on himself and took his
00:16:08
own life it was it was a funny feeling
00:16:11
to to realize that the night before that
00:16:14
you'd been watching this man that he was
00:16:16
wanted for murder someplace and then
00:16:20
you walk up to the van and you recognize
00:16:21
him as being the person that was on
00:16:23
unsolved mysteries did it's a funny
00:16:25
feeling but I think he intended to die
00:16:27
whether he had to do it by his own hands
00:16:30
or where he can get us to kill him
00:16:31
otherwise he would have stopped and we
00:16:34
forgot command of the van alive and
00:16:36
there never been the shots fired while
00:16:40
living as a fugitive Dennis de PUE sent
00:16:42
a chilling letter to several friends
00:16:44
tried to justify his ex-wife's death he
00:16:47
wrote an eye for an eye a tooth for a
00:16:50
tooth alive for a lie a life for a life
00:16:54
at the time Dennis de PUE had no idea
00:16:57
just how prophetic those words would be
00:17:02
[Music]
00:17:10
Jeanne Wagner was born in 1959 into a
00:17:14
typical blue-collar household her father
00:17:17
was a construction worker her mother a
00:17:19
secretary and a doctor's office
00:17:22
jeanne was a first of three children and
00:17:25
enjoyed a healthy normal childhood at
00:17:28
least by outward appearances from a very
00:17:32
early age I felt very different and
00:17:36
[Music]
00:17:37
separated from my family I felt like I
00:17:41
didn't look like anybody and for a while
00:17:44
there I thought well you know maybe I
00:17:45
was adopted
00:17:47
and no one intentionally made me feel
00:17:49
that way I don't think that it was just
00:17:51
a knowledge I had that was I guess in my
00:17:54
subconscious consciously you know it was
00:17:58
you know a family a normal family but
00:18:00
there was something different
00:18:02
[Music]
00:18:05
many families seem to have their share
00:18:07
of untold tales dark disturbing secrets
00:18:11
that are hidden away buried and
00:18:12
hopefully forgotten but occasionally
00:18:15
these unpleasant ghosts will rise once
00:18:17
again with far-reaching consequences in
00:18:20
El Paso Texas Jeanne Wagner recently
00:18:22
discovered her family's tragic secret a
00:18:25
secret which has led Jeanne on an
00:18:27
emotional journey through her mother's
00:18:29
painful past Jeannie's mother
00:18:34
Patsy summers was just 17 years old when
00:18:36
she married she was shy private had been
00:18:40
raised in a strict home my mother was a
00:18:45
very devoutly religious Catholic I had
00:18:51
perfect dedicate and was very concerned
00:18:55
about her image to other people but
00:18:58
there was something within my mother
00:19:00
that prevented her from being a whole
00:19:04
person
00:19:04
there were times my mother was very
00:19:07
happy very carefree and so much fun to
00:19:13
be with but then there were times where
00:19:15
she was very very sad
00:19:20
even as a child
00:19:21
jeanny suspected that her mother was
00:19:23
tormented by some private demon in 1973
00:19:27
when Jeannie was 13
00:19:29
Patsy summers attempted to commit
00:19:31
suicide by slitting her wrists eight
00:19:35
years later
00:19:36
Patsy entered a highway against traffic
00:19:38
and smashed head-on into an approaching
00:19:41
car she died 10 days later
00:19:54
hello shortly after her mother's death
00:19:58
Jeanne called her younger sister and was
00:20:00
dealt another startling blow her sister
00:20:04
had found a diary which revealed the
00:20:05
source of their mother's inner pain
00:20:07
think you better come over the Mangini
00:20:09
knew as her father was not her father at
00:20:12
all there's a diary of mothers I want
00:20:14
you to read when I read the diary It was
00:20:18
as if all of us said and all the things
00:20:21
that had transpired in my life and in my
00:20:24
mother's life and in my life the family
00:20:27
life that I had known everything all of
00:20:31
a sudden made sense in the diary Patsy
00:20:36
had described the incredible predicament
00:20:38
she had gotten into when she was 17 in
00:20:43
1958
00:20:44
Patsy summers was living at home with
00:20:46
her mother and younger brother
00:20:47
[Music]
00:20:49
she was an obedient daughter who
00:20:51
excelled in school and attended church
00:20:53
regularly our mother had very high
00:21:03
standards she came from a Catholic
00:21:06
background and we had a very Catholic
00:21:09
upbringing we went to parochial schools
00:21:12
and our home was one where we went to
00:21:14
church every Sunday and that was very
00:21:17
very important to our mother she set a
00:21:21
good example and and she did expect you
00:21:25
know she expected us to follow the
00:21:27
things that were right
00:21:31
my mother had been going with a boy off
00:21:34
and on for about a year her mother and
00:21:37
her brothers and sister liked him a lot
00:21:40
they thought he was very responsible and
00:21:44
very polite and he drove a nice car back
00:21:49
then that was real important and they
00:21:53
had fought off and on through their
00:21:56
relationship the dinery detail how pets
00:22:01
he had gone to a local park one day
00:22:02
after an argument with her boyfriend
00:22:05
there she met a young enlisted man
00:22:07
stationed at nearby Fort Bliss
00:22:09
his name was Duncan hello do you mind if
00:22:18
I sit down
00:22:25
I'm Duncan Patricia Patsy was
00:22:30
immediately smitten by this handsome
00:22:32
soldier who seemed so gentle and
00:22:34
understanding it's pretty come here to
00:22:39
think soon they were seeing each other
00:22:42
on a regular basis
00:22:46
my mother talked to him a lot and
00:22:48
confided in him and she thought of
00:22:51
Duncan as a very kind person and even
00:22:56
stated that of all the people that she
00:22:59
had known that he was the kindest person
00:23:03
she had ever met I'll see you tomorrow
00:23:10

[Music]
00:23:24
in August of 1958
00:23:26
Patsy summers turned 17 Duncan threw her
00:23:30
a surprise birthday party inviting a
00:23:32
small select group of friends by now
00:23:41
Patsy was living a lie keeping her
00:23:44
relationship with Duncan hidden from her
00:23:46
boyfriend and her family what happened
00:23:57
I'm sorry the bus the bus must have got
00:23:59
there a little bit early I was just a
00:24:01
little bit late I won't let it happen
00:24:03
again
00:24:04
hi you were right Patsy and Duncan
00:24:08
continued their secret liaisons
00:24:09
throughout the summer and into the fall
00:24:16
in October
00:24:17
Patsy panicked when she discovered that
00:24:19
she was pregnant her boyfriend believed
00:24:23
that he was the father I think she was
00:24:28
concerned with fear fear that her family
00:24:32
would think badly of her it was her
00:24:35
belief that it was just unforgivable and
00:24:38
she never wanted to disappoint her
00:24:40
mother her mother was very important to
00:24:42
her and she did she says there was no
00:24:46
way I could ever tell my mother in a
00:24:48
million years my problem
00:24:54
Patsey was forced to make an
00:24:56
excruciating decision Duncan had
00:24:58
accepted full responsibility for the
00:25:00
pregnancy ordered to marry her but Patsy
00:25:04
opted for pleasing her family let's see
00:25:21
what is it don't be upset but we can see
00:25:24
children
00:25:26
she didn't feel that she could change
00:25:30
some things that were already set in
00:25:33
motion which were that that she was to
00:25:35
be married and she was to be married to
00:25:37
someone that was known and accepted by
00:25:40
her family
00:25:43
given the times and also given the kind
00:25:47
of religious training that we had I can
00:25:50
see how she made the choice yes the pain
00:25:55
of Patsy's dilemma was exposed in a
00:25:57
diary entry I had to do it I had to
00:26:02
please my mother that was the most
00:26:05
important thing in the world there was
00:26:09
no other way you Patricia and summers
00:26:15
take this man to be your lawfully wedded
00:26:18
husband to have and to hold to love and
00:26:22
to honor on November 11th 1958 the Patsy
00:26:26
and her boyfriend were married for as
00:26:28
long as you both shall live
00:26:29
only the tool will do that Patsy was
00:26:31
pregnant
00:26:33
only Patsy knew who the real father was
00:26:36
you may kiss the bride no one suspected
00:26:41
a pregnancy no one it was just a wedding
00:26:45
and and it was lovely
00:26:48
the knife at my sister went into labor
00:26:51
she said to me tell mother I'm sorry and
00:27:02
what I realized was that she had been
00:27:05
pregnant before she was married but I
00:27:10
certainly didn't realize that it went
00:27:12
any further than that Jeannie was born
00:27:18
seven months after the wedding in her
00:27:21
diary
00:27:21
Patsy had described how she prayed for a
00:27:23
child with blue eyes like those of her
00:27:25
new husband
00:27:26
Patsy received her wish my firm belief
00:27:32
is that secrets only cause people harm
00:27:34
and caused a lot of suffering and that's
00:27:39
why for me the truth has to come out and
00:27:42
I have to know who Duncan is the night
00:27:47
the genies story aired a woman named
00:27:50
Suzanne Gilmore was watching our
00:27:51
broadcast at her home in Lake Wylie
00:27:53
South Carolina at the time Susan's
00:27:56
husband Duncan was fast asleep Jeannie's
00:27:59
mother had written in her diary that he
00:28:02
was the sweetest kindest person that she
00:28:05
had ever met I just said that's my
00:28:07
Duncan I knew that it was my Duncan and
00:28:10
the next thing I know my wife woke me up
00:28:13
and she said were you ever stationed in
00:28:17
El Paso Texas at Fort Bliss when you
00:28:19
were in the Army and I said yeah she
00:28:22
said were you there in 1958 and I said
00:28:25

00:28:41
important did you sleep with her and he
00:28:43

00:28:48
daughter and she's looking for you and
00:28:50
he just came awake like it shot it was
00:28:53
like she's looking for me and I said yes
00:28:56
as soon as I heard some of the details I
00:29:00
knew me they she's my daughter and they
00:29:02
don't want to say it was matter-of-fact
00:29:05
but I just know that she was my daughter
00:29:08
and that we had to be together and we
00:29:10
had to see her and I had to respond nine
00:29:15
days and dozens of phone calls later
00:29:18
Duncan Gilmore and his wife Suzanne
00:29:20
arrived in Houston Texas
00:29:21
on May 3rd 1991 father and daughter met
00:29:25
for the first time in their lives
00:29:28
[Music]
00:29:33
when I hiked my dad it was a combination
00:29:36
of being really really happy but also
00:29:41
there was a little sadness there that so
00:29:46
many years have gone by and that we've
00:29:49
missed out on each other's lives I will
00:29:56
always remember
00:29:58
Ginny coming to the door and for the
00:30:00
first time seeing my daughter and I'm
00:30:02
holding her the day was made even more
00:30:06
special when Duncan met his only
00:30:08
grandchildren Joshua and Justin for the
00:30:11
first time when I saw my boys playing
00:30:16
catch with their grandpa it it just felt
00:30:21
right
00:30:22
they needed a grandpa and I can't think
00:30:26
of a better grandpa for them to have
00:30:30
[Music]
00:30:31
never could I have hoped in a million
00:30:36
years or prayed a thousand prayers for
00:30:39
this to turn out as well as it has
00:30:42
and he's turned out to be everything
00:30:44
that I thought he was going to be now
00:30:46
you doing tomorrow and the day after her
00:30:50
I'll now have a dad who loves me and
00:30:53
wants to be a part of my life when we
00:31:01
return a chance meeting at a singles bar
00:31:03
leads to murder
00:31:05
[Music]
00:31:20
excuse me say on March 25th 1982 43
00:31:29
year-old divorcee Hilda Roche met a man
00:31:32
at a fashionable singles bar at
00:31:33
Alexandria Virginia crowded here tonight
00:31:39
it's Friday night it's always crowded
00:31:40
night
00:31:41
I haven't seen you in here you work
00:31:44
around here I work for the military
00:31:48
intelligence I'd do some contract work
00:31:53
for the government do you really yeah
00:31:56
Hildur later told friends that she had
00:31:58
dinner with a man and planned on seeing
00:32:00
him again
00:32:01
but oddly she never told anyone his name
00:32:06
Hilda had said that the guy was single
00:32:10
he was attractive he had a lot of money
00:32:13
and she was impressed but he was driving
00:32:16
this beautiful car I started to tell her
00:32:23
don't believe everything this guy's
00:32:25
telling him the car is probably rented
00:32:29
anybody can make up a big story you
00:32:32
don't know anything about him
00:32:34
watch out one week later the nude body
00:32:39
of a woman was found in a wooded area
00:32:41
near an elementary school she had been
00:32:43
murdered execution-style there were
00:32:46
signs of sexual assault police had no
00:32:48
idea who the victim was
00:32:52
[Music]
00:32:55
hello everybody here County police there
00:33:00
anyone here
00:33:04
four days later investigators searched
00:33:07
Hilda rachets townhouse after co-workers
00:33:09
have reported her missing
00:33:16
I got a wallet here in the living
00:33:19
officers found Hilda's wallet
00:33:23
hey Lenny yeah hold on just a second
00:33:26
we've just identified our victim got her
00:33:28
picture on her driver's license right
00:33:30
here authorities now knew that Hilda
00:33:32
Roche was a woman who had been found
00:33:37
I'd like you to go ahead and do a 360 of
00:33:40
the room get the bed evidence and
00:33:43
Hilda's bedroom to confirm her she had
00:33:45
been sexually molested for here and he's
00:33:48
a faith air flows over the bed and the
00:33:51
whole bedroom was in disarray and we
00:33:53
found her blouse and a pair of slacks
00:33:55
and some pantyhose and some adhesive
00:33:58
tape in that's indicative of a struggle
00:34:03
going on there and other evidence that
00:34:06
we located in the room also indicated
00:34:09
that some type of sexual activity took
00:34:11
place
00:34:14
because there were no signs of forced
00:34:16
entry at the apartment detectives
00:34:18
concluded that Hilda Roche was murdered
00:34:21
by someone she knew most homicide
00:34:26
detectives agree that the first 48 hours
00:34:28
of a murder investigation of the most
00:34:30
crucial beyond that point leaves grow
00:34:33
cold and suspects disappear in this case
00:34:36
it took four days just to identify Hilda
00:34:38
Roche and more than three months to zero
00:34:41
in on a suspect a man authorities now
00:34:43
believe may be a serial killer on
00:34:50
detectives interviewed Hilda Rowe Shay's
00:34:51
friends they learned about the
00:34:53
mysterious man she had met at the
00:34:55
singles bar just one week before her
00:34:57
death hell they had told her friends
00:35:00
that fellow was from Florida
00:35:03
I drove a nice car he was a consultant
00:35:06
for the government and that he lived in
00:35:08
these apartments over and Aleksandra as
00:35:10
a matter of fact she told her that she
00:35:12
even went over to the apartment that
00:35:15
evening the 1400 unit apartment complex
00:35:20
was the only clue to the man's identity
00:35:24
investigators searched through files and
00:35:26
files of lease agreements dating back
00:35:28
three years they were looking for any
00:35:30
resident pastor present who matched the
00:35:33
description of the man Hilda had met we
00:35:37
went through a processing 25 to 30
00:35:38
thousand files and out of that 25 30
00:35:42
thousand we come up with 32 possible
00:35:44
names that fit the profile of the person
00:35:48
that Hilda
00:35:49
had described to her friend detective
00:35:53
Cahill was confident that his team was
00:35:55
closing in all they needed was one piece
00:35:58
of evidence that could link any of the
00:36:00
32 suspects with Hilda Roche
00:36:04
three months into the investigation they
00:36:06
got the break they needed my wallets
00:36:10
missing excuse me
00:36:11
my wallets God it's its authorities
00:36:15
learned that Hilda had lost her wallet
00:36:17
on the very night she had met the man
00:36:29
some unknown reason
00:36:31
Hilda's mysterious suitor insisted that
00:36:33
he be contacted if the wallet was found
00:36:38
[Music]
00:36:41
a few days later the restaurant found
00:36:46
Hilda rachets wallet
00:36:47
yes sir may I help you yeah I called
00:36:50
before you found the lady's wallet
00:36:51
Tim blowing the hell door O'Shea we're
00:36:54
here to pick him up okay let me check in
00:36:56
lost and found she had called and said
00:37:00
that he was gonna bring the wallet back
00:37:02
and I was saying something wrong I'm
00:37:04
here why did he go to the management to
00:37:07
find out about the wallet why did
00:37:11
management call him when they found the
00:37:14
wallet my first impression was the guy's
00:37:17
putting you on sir I did find Hilda
00:37:21
rachets Blanca
00:37:22
could I see your driver's license the
00:37:25
restaurant manager remembered little
00:37:26
about the man then she agreed to undergo
00:37:29
hypnosis it paid off she recalled a
00:37:32
phone number
00:37:33
[Music]
00:37:35
the hypnotist told us that this would
00:37:39
not be the exact phone number he said
00:37:41
now the most of the numbers are gonna be
00:37:43
the same they're gonna be right he says
00:37:45
but they might be transposed or
00:37:47
something you're gonna have to work with
00:37:48
it on detectives compared the phone
00:37:51
number with those of the 32 apartment
00:37:54
residents they came up with a nearly
00:37:55
exact match the number belonged to 38
00:38:00
year-old Gregory Barker Barker had moved
00:38:02
out of the apartment complex a short
00:38:04
time after Hilda's murder
00:38:08
so we immediately began to do a
00:38:11
background investigation on mr. Barker
00:38:14
we were not able to find any particular
00:38:18
company or government agency that he had
00:38:22
applied to or even worked for as a
00:38:24
matter of fact we don't believe that he
00:38:25
worked for any agency up here we believe
00:38:28
that what he told the people at the
00:38:33
apartment and what he was telling people
00:38:34
he met was all a scam made up in his own
00:38:38
mind
00:38:40
Gregory Barker is a decorated Vietnam
00:38:42
veteran he served two tours the second
00:38:45
as an army intelligence officer he is a
00:38:47
voracious reader of spy novels police
00:38:50
theorized at Barker's mental state may
00:38:52
have deteriorated to a point where he
00:38:54
now believes that he himself is a master
00:38:57
spy
00:38:57
[Music]
00:39:03
based on lockers psychological profile
00:39:06
and crime scene evidence detective Cal
00:39:08
has developed a chilling scenario of
00:39:10
what happened the night Hilda Roche was
00:39:12
murdered
00:39:15
Gregg oh I thought you were gonna come
00:39:20
tomorrow my wallet thank you I believe
00:39:24
that the Gregg's Margaret came over to
00:39:27
the house and the intention of returning
00:39:30
the wallet to Hilda and possibly
00:39:32
something else in mind
00:39:34
fine yes coming I'm coming I'm sorry
00:39:40
[Music]
00:39:42
during his visit withheld that he had an
00:39:46
altercation a violent altercation with
00:39:48
her down in the living room and sometime
00:39:51
later up in the bedroom
00:39:52
her clothes were taken off and a sexual
00:39:56
activity occurred there he at that time
00:40:01
I took her against her will out of the
00:40:04
house down to the school which is
00:40:06
located about nine and a half miles away
00:40:08
from the house
00:40:11
[Music]
00:40:20
get out she was taken out of the vehicle
00:40:27
and she was naked and led up the path
00:40:30
about a hundred and fifty feet to a
00:40:32
wooded area between a housing
00:40:34
development and school at which time he
00:40:43
just brutally murdered her with the
00:40:47
gunshot to the head
00:40:57
from during a background investigation
00:40:59
on mr. Parker we don't believe that this
00:41:01
is the first murder that he committed we
00:41:05
don't believe that this was the last
00:41:06
murder he committed we believe that he
00:41:09
could be responsible for numerous
00:41:11
murders we feel that possibly he could
00:41:14
even be a serial murderer we're very
00:41:18
sure of the fact that he's smart and
00:41:21
he's very dangerous
00:41:31
[Music]
00:41:44
next the heartbreaking story of a 10
00:41:47
month old boy who was fighting for his
00:41:48
life perhaps you can help in the past we
00:42:01
have brought you many stories of lost
00:42:03
love often about adopted children
00:42:05
looking for their biological parents
00:42:07
this is a very different kind of lost
00:42:10
love story a young woman in Idaho was
00:42:13
searching for her birth parents not for
00:42:15
herself alone but also for her son Jerry
00:42:19
graves clings to the fragile hope that
00:42:21
her background holds a key to a
00:42:22
mysterious illness that threatens her
00:42:25
baby's life Jerry and John Gray is
00:42:30
married a 1989 together they are raising
00:42:33
Jerry's two daughters from a previous
00:42:35
marriage in 1990 Jerry and John had a
00:42:39
son JJ when we brought JJ home from the
00:42:43
hospital I noticed he was convulsing
00:42:46
which scared me really bad because I
00:42:49
thought he was gonna die
00:42:49
I really thought that was my first
00:42:51
thought that he was dying Jerry and John
00:42:55
took JJ to specialists after a
00:42:57
specialist no one could pinpoint the
00:42:59
cause of JJ's problems but he continued
00:43:02
to have as many as 50 seizures a day
00:43:05
throughout JJ's first six months of life
00:43:09
he would get to where he would have so
00:43:12
many seizures in the day he wouldn't eat
00:43:14
we're talking he would he would eat
00:43:17
maybe two ounces a day his body couldn't
00:43:19
keep keep up on just that he would
00:43:22
dehydrate very easily we were down to I
00:43:24
was feeding JJ with a medicine dropper
00:43:26
and it wouldn't it wouldn't work and
00:43:29
when he would get dehydrated or anything
00:43:31
like that we were back in the hospital I
00:43:33
would say that the initial guarded
00:43:36
optimism we had when he did have fairly
00:43:38
normal tone and initial muscle activity
00:43:41
in the first few months of life has
00:43:43
become much more pessimistic each time
00:43:45
the doctors give me a little bit of bad
00:43:47
news they still tell me there's hope
00:43:51
he has voluntary movement when he's
00:43:53
laying down and you'll tickle his foot
00:43:55
he will move his foot so that you no
00:43:57
longer can tickle it and that is
00:43:59
something that every parent with a
00:44:01
normal healthy baby takes for granted
00:44:03
they don't know how thrilled I was when
00:44:07
my son kicked his covers off of himself
00:44:10
I I was ready to throw a party
00:44:13
when JJ was eight none seen his muscular
00:44:16
development stalled at the level of a
00:44:18
newborns even after a myriad of tests
00:44:21
doctors could not determine what was
00:44:23
causing JJ seizures or his slow
00:44:26
development Jerry and John began to
00:44:32
consider the remote possibility that
00:44:34
JJ's illness might be genetic Jerry had
00:44:37
been adopted as an infant but had never
00:44:39
before thought about tracking down her
00:44:41
birth parents I am searching to find my
00:44:46
biological parents there is a slim
00:44:49
chance that by knowing my medical
00:44:53
history maybe they could possibly put
00:44:57
something together as to what is
00:44:58
happening with JJ Jerry has few clues
00:45:02
about her past she was born Kelly Marie
00:45:05
Macmillan on November 7th 1963 in
00:45:08
Ventura County California her parents
00:45:11
were not married her mother hoped to
00:45:14
become a nurse her father was of Irish
00:45:16
descent Gerry's adoption records are
00:45:19
legally sealed so she knows little else
00:45:21
about her biological parents and remains
00:45:23
apprehensive about the prospect of
00:45:25
meeting them
00:45:27
I know things might be devastating to me
00:45:31
I know some things might affect me wrong
00:45:34
but I'm going to forgo that it's if
00:45:37
there's a chance for JJ I can go through
00:45:40
anything
00:45:42
[Music]
00:45:52
I have had a doctor coming in Tommy that
00:45:55
my son wasn't going to live but in the
00:45:57
same breath that doctor told me that my
00:46:01
son has a chance
00:46:04
and even though he may have problems and
00:46:08
he may not be normal
00:46:10
he is my baby and he's my son there is
00:46:16
an answer out there yeah we will find it
00:46:20
