group of people that he enjoyed he was
00:02:10
very friendly and
00:02:12
very uh fun to be around Wilson said
00:02:16
that he was from San Diego but he never
00:02:18
revealed any details about his past he
00:02:22
was a jack of all trades who
00:02:24
occasionally did odd jobs on a ranch
00:02:26
owned by Bill
00:02:28
thornberg while working there Wilson met
00:02:31
22-year-old Cali thornberg who lived at
00:02:34
home and worked with her father Steve
00:02:37
Wilson was instantly attracted to her
00:02:40
and 9 months later Steve and cie ran off
00:02:42
to Reno and were
00:02:45
married dad wanted me to get married
00:02:48
because he felt that I needed to have
00:02:52
something other than him in the
00:02:55
ranch as we were driving to Reno or even
00:02:58
the day before we left
00:03:00
I was wishing there was some way that I
00:03:04
could get out of
00:03:05
it the marriage was a disaster Wilson
00:03:10
was abusive and he threatened cie just 2
00:03:13
months after their wedding cie left him
00:03:15
and moved back in with her father I
00:03:17
don't like to say this Wilson was no
00:03:20
longer welcome at their Ranch the guys a
00:03:22
n Wilson would call on the phone and
00:03:26
harass us and he would say things like I
00:03:30

00:03:31
been hurt
00:03:33

00:03:37

00:04:13
it I grabbed my dad and grabbed the gun
00:04:17
and said no don't shoot him it's not
00:04:19
worth it you know I didn't want my
00:04:21
father and Wilson to get into any kind
00:04:24
of a confrontation with each other
00:04:26
because I was afraid that Wilson would
00:04:28
hurt my dad
00:04:31
a few days later bill thornberg left the
00:04:33
ranch house to do his morning
00:04:36
chores dad I walked out to the water
00:04:40
lines and I found his
00:04:42
truck with his every morning cup of
00:04:45
coffee sitting on the dashboard and it
00:04:47
was still hot
00:04:50
dad bill farberg was never seen again
00:04:54
and Steve Wilson disappeared
00:05:01
7 months passed and then on Christmas
00:05:04
Eve a teenager riding his bike through
00:05:07
the desert 45 Mi south of The Ranch
00:05:10
House made a gruesome
00:05:13
Discovery the boy knew his parents
00:05:16
wouldn't believe him if he told him so
00:05:17
he he actually took the head and rode
00:05:19
back to his
00:05:20
house with the evidence at the scene the
00:05:22
clothing and different articles it was
00:05:25
immediately known that it was Bill
00:05:26
thornberg body and all the evidence led
00:05:29
to Steve
00:05:33
after a year and a half on the Run Steve
00:05:35
Wilson was finally arrested in Las Vegas
00:05:38
he pleaded guilty to first-degree murder
00:05:40
and received a sentence of 25 years to
00:05:43
life at fome prison in
00:05:46
California there hadn't been an escape
00:05:49
from folson prison in 15 years folson
00:05:53
prison is a maximum security facility
00:05:56
filled with violent killers
00:06:00
when Steve Wilson arrived he immediately
00:06:03
started trying to get on the good side
00:06:05
of the officers and the
00:06:08
administrators he joined the in-house
00:06:10
work program and successfully Charmed
00:06:13
anyone who could help him Steve was a
00:06:16
model prisoner I have 30 years in his
00:06:19
career of mine and I would have to say
00:06:22
that this guy is a greatest clerk I've
00:06:24
ever
00:06:25
had before long Wilson became the clerk
00:06:29
in charge of shipping it was one of the
00:06:31
best jobs in the prison because it
00:06:33
offered the most freedom to move around
00:06:36
hey Larry hey Steve how you doing when
00:06:38
he became a clerk in in the warehouse up
00:06:41
adjacent to the metal Factory in the
00:06:43
license plate Factory his job would
00:06:45
entail him being in all different areas
00:06:48
of the uh of the warehouse picking up
00:06:50
inventories picking up invoices work
00:06:52
orders so for him to be in a certain
00:06:56
area at any time would not be unusual
00:06:58
would not be significant and if he
00:07:00
wasn't there would not be significant
00:07:03
either 2 years passed prison officials
00:07:06
had no idea that during that entire time
00:07:10
Wilson was plotting his Escape one day
00:07:14
while he was working near the loading
00:07:16
dock
00:07:18
hey what it's your problem you ran into
00:07:21
me listen I told you about this safety
00:07:23
last week it was his fault watch
00:07:26
it Wilson had enlisted other inmates to
00:07:29
startu the
00:07:32
guards this plan had worked nobody
00:07:36
noticed that he was gone I think he was
00:07:39
planning this at least well over a year
00:07:42
ahead of time he was an intelligent
00:07:44
individual and uh when you have vehicles
00:07:47
going in and out of a secure area that's
00:07:51
your weakest
00:07:54
link as soon as the truck left the
00:07:57
prison Wilson cut a hole in the roof
00:08:00
using tin snips that he had stolen from
00:08:02
the prison metal
00:08:04
shop just minutes later the truck pulled
00:08:07
into a local bone valy when the driver
00:08:10
went inside for a cup of coffee Wilson
00:08:13
squeezed through the hole he had cut and
00:08:19
disappeared having Wilson on the loose
00:08:22
is very hard for me because I can never
00:08:26
really relax I don't like being alone
00:08:29
and and I'm always looking around all
00:08:31
the corners I I'm constantly in
00:08:38
fear update Steve Wilson was arrested in
00:08:42
England after a tip help FBI agents
00:08:45
trace him to a London hotel Wilson was
00:08:48
brought back to California to complete
00:08:50
his prison term of 25 years to
00:08:55
life but he was soon up to his old
00:08:58
tricks Wilson arranged to have Escape
00:09:02
materials sent to him in prison after
00:09:05
officials intercepted the package they
00:09:07
sent Wilson to a state-of-the-art
00:09:09
Maximum Security Prison for violent
00:09:12
criminals he served his time and has
00:09:15
been
00:09:17
released coming up was a young
00:09:20
businesswoman murdered to prevent her
00:09:22
from blowing the whistle on illegal
00:09:24
banking activities
00:09:36
Washington
00:09:39
DC in the early morning fire units race
00:09:42
to a blaze in the Georgetown
00:09:45
district once inside firefighters
00:09:48
discover that the blaze is restricted to
00:09:50
the upstairs bedroom in fact the bed
00:09:54
itself is on fire
00:10:00
at first it looks like no one is home
00:10:03
but as the smoke begins to clear the
00:10:05
firefighters are stuned to see a woman
00:10:08
in the bed she is barely
00:10:11
alive 38-year-old Lynn Amos is a
00:10:15
financial analyst who has lived in
00:10:17
Washington for just 5 months she has
00:10:20
rushed to a local hospital with third
00:10:22
degree burns over 80% of her
00:10:27
body at first in investigators believed
00:10:30
that it was an accident Lynn's blood
00:10:32
alcohol content was. 25 2 and 1/2 times
00:10:37
the legal limit for driving in
00:10:39
Washington DC that and the fact that
00:10:42
they had found a cigarette butt seemed
00:10:44
to indicate that Lynn Amos had been
00:10:47
smoking in bed but Lyn's family and
00:10:50
friends didn't believe that well Lyn
00:10:53
didn't smoke I smoked until recently if
00:10:56
you're a closet smoker you certainly
00:10:58
smoke with your friends who smoke there
00:11:00
were no dirty ashtrays in the house
00:11:01
there were no matches there were no
00:11:03
cigarette packs there was no evidence
00:11:05
that she was smoking in
00:11:07
bed the police had to rethink their
00:11:09
initial Theory when Insurance
00:11:11
investigators found accelerance on the
00:11:14
mattress floor and pillow they concluded
00:11:17
that the fire had been deliberately set
00:11:21
the insurance investigators report
00:11:23
showed that there was a combination of
00:11:25
kerosene gasoline and
00:11:27
turpentine and the doctor has told me
00:11:30
that her Burns were consistent with
00:11:32
those from a fire that was accelerated
00:11:36
he told me at the hospital he couldn't
00:11:38
believe that only she and the bed
00:11:40
burned um he said she looked like the
00:11:43
result of a house having been burned
00:11:46
around
00:11:47
her Lynn Amos clung to life barely
00:11:50
conscious and unable to speak then 10
00:11:54
days later she died the cause of death
00:11:57
was officially listed at as
00:12:00
[Music]
00:12:02
homicide who would want Len Amos dead
00:12:04
and why she was a friendly and outgoing
00:12:07
person with no known enemies but Lynn
00:12:10
apparently did have her secrets in the
00:12:13
weeks before she died she had suddenly
00:12:15
stopped talking to her friends about her
00:12:18
job a motive for Lynn's murder soon
00:12:21
began to
00:12:23
emerge Lynn Amos had moved to Washington
00:12:26
to take a position with a management
00:12:28
consulting firm
00:12:29
as part of her job she made frequent
00:12:32
trips to Mexico to assess the lending
00:12:34
practices of several large
00:12:38
Banks less than a month before the fire
00:12:41
Lynn had lunch with a close friend Emily
00:12:44
Smith Lynn seemed reluctant to talk
00:12:47
about her work I realized when we were
00:12:49
having lunch that I didn't know what she
00:12:52
was working on and that was unusual
00:12:54
because we talked about work a lot we
00:12:55
did sort of similar types things so tell
00:12:58
me about work well I've been working on
00:13:01
this project for the Mexican equivalent
00:13:04
of the Federal Reserve and I've seen
00:13:06
some very bad lending
00:13:09
practices I waited and it was clear she
00:13:13
wasn't going to say more so I said well
00:13:15
is your report going to be ugly and she
00:13:18
said yes it's going to be really
00:13:22
ugly the day before the fire Lynn once
00:13:25
again hinted to friends that she had
00:13:27
uncovered some potentially explosive
00:13:31
information are you still on that
00:13:32
project with the banks yeah um I've seen
00:13:36
some uh dangerous things in
00:13:40
Mexico I I'm purely speculating here um
00:13:44
but it's possible that she bumped into a
00:13:48
loan having to do with drug money or a
00:13:51
fraudulent loan that's the sort of thing
00:13:53
you might bump into when you're
00:13:55
reviewing credit
00:13:56
portfolios no no I the last time anyone
00:14:00
spoke to Lynn was late on the night of
00:14:02
the fire I
00:14:03
called we do know that she called her
00:14:07
office confirm that she was going to be
00:14:09
late for work the next day so we know
00:14:11
Lynn was at home
00:14:13
Lucid completely fine had a 30-minute
00:14:17
conversation at 10:00 at night at
00:14:21
10:30 she then we then don't know what
00:14:23
happened when we first told our attorney
00:14:26
Howen was killed he
00:14:29
first statement was that's a
00:14:31
professional hit the fire detective who
00:14:36
came to the scene said that it had all
00:14:39
the indications that this was a
00:14:40
controlled fire that somebody was there
00:14:44
making sure that this fire didn't do
00:14:46
more than it needed to
00:14:48
do Lynn's family and friends believe
00:14:51
that sometime after midnight the killer
00:14:53
broke into the townhouse there were no
00:14:56
signs of forced entry so he made may
00:14:59
have had a key or maybe Lynn knew her
00:15:03
asent you do what I tell you I don't
00:15:06
want to have to use
00:15:07
this drink the Intruder may have then
00:15:10
forced Lynn to drink until she passed
00:15:15
out to achieve the level of alcohol that
00:15:17
she was found with it takes between 9
00:15:20
and 14 drinks in an hour for a woman her
00:15:24
size which is almost impossible to
00:15:27
consume that means you have a new drank
00:15:29
every 4 to 7
00:15:32
minutes and then the killer tried to
00:15:35
make her death look like an
00:15:38
[Music]
00:15:48
[Music]
00:15:53
accident what was done to lenus is so
00:15:55
horrible I really do not have the words
00:15:58
just gra it Lynn was just a great friend
00:16:01
she was really fun she loved
00:16:04
life and uh people should not be allowed
00:16:07
to get away with
00:16:09
that Lynn Amos never completed her
00:16:12
report on the Mexican Banks her former
00:16:14
employer declined to appear on camera
00:16:17
for this segment in a letter to our
00:16:20
producers he wrote We Are troubled by
00:16:23
the same questions being asked by

investigators we can only hope that
00:16:28
forensic science will provide some

00:18:07
two women had been brutally assaulted in
00:18:09
the basement area of the provence Street
00:18:11
home and for all intents and purposes
00:18:14

00:18:19
the other one was in very very critical
00:18:21
condition rescue stabilized her at the

22-year-old darene peard was pronounced
00:18:34
dead at the scene The Other Woman
00:18:37
27-year-old Susan laferte was barely
00:18:43
alive actually I was shocked when I saw
00:18:47
the condition that my wife was
00:18:49
in because she had no physical
00:18:51
resemblance at all of being my wife from
00:18:54
the severe injuries all the swelling and
00:18:57
the way they described it she was
00:18:58
hanging by a thread her injuries were so
00:19:01
uh severe that it was touch and go at
00:19:03
the
00:19:05
time Susan survived but she remained in
00:19:08
a deep
00:19:11
coma fearing for her safety the police
00:19:14
guarded her room around the
00:19:16
clock it was obvious to us that the
00:19:18
perpetrator in his mind had left both
00:19:21
girls for Dead We immediately became
00:19:24
worried that he would realize that there
00:19:26
was a witness to the attack and that he
00:19:28
would would come back and try to
00:19:30
eliminate that Witness by killing
00:19:32
[Music]
00:19:35
her 30 days later Susan finally came out
00:19:39
of her coma but she had no memory of the
00:19:41
attack or her as salent investigators
00:19:44
had no motive and no eyewitness they had
00:19:47
to start from
00:19:49
[Music]
00:19:52
scratch I don't know who attacked us
00:19:57
it's 5 years later and I'm no closer at
00:20:00
this period of time than I was 5 years
00:20:03
ago I don't know what he looked like
00:20:08
um or anything else about him I have no
00:20:12
memory whatsoever of the
00:20:14
attack what she does remember is this on
00:20:18
February 19th the day of the attack
00:20:21
Susan's sister Carol rivet came over for
00:20:25
lunch I'll get that at 1:30 two of Susan
00:20:28
friends came to the door hi hi my sister
00:20:32
came back from the doorway and stuck her
00:20:34
head in the Parlor and said Carol I'm
00:20:36
going downstairs I'll be right back she
00:20:39
came back upstairs and I could hear her
00:20:41
talking to somebody in the doorway so I
00:20:43
got up to go see who she was talking
00:20:46
too guy the two men were interested in
00:20:48
some pit bold puppies that Susan was
00:20:51
selling Susan talked to the men for 5
00:20:54
minutes and then they left 10 minutes
00:20:57
later at4
00:20:59
Carol went home and that was the last
00:21:02
time anyone saw Susan before the
00:21:08
attack no one can be sure what happened
00:21:10
that day between 1 145 and 320 when Doug
00:21:14
Heath discovered Susan and dar's
00:21:18
[Music]
00:21:19
bodies to I have to admit that I was
00:21:23
shocked by the initial
00:21:25
scene the brutality of the assault
00:21:29
it was not just a murder it was not just
00:21:31
an assault it was a frenzied attack it
00:21:35
was an Overkill okay 15 more minutes
00:21:38
okay other than Susan there was only one
00:21:41
other witness to the crime Nicole
00:21:44
Susan's three-year-old daughter as I
00:21:47
came in the house Nicole was there and
00:21:50
from the very beginning she told me that
00:21:52
she let him in she thought that was her
00:21:55
mother's
00:21:56
friend she saw the man she says he was
00:22:00
probably a little bigger than her father
00:22:03
he had a mustache she even told me that
00:22:06
he wore a cap with a visor towards the
00:22:10
back he had sneakers and he also had the
00:22:15
jeans when she heard her mother crying
00:22:18
she went
00:22:20
downstairs and as she was going down he
00:22:23
was coming
00:22:25
up he had a a a rag in his back pocket
00:22:29
it was red and white she called it polka
00:22:31
dot and then she was locked out in the
00:22:34
hallway while the man escaped through
00:22:36
the
00:22:37
front after the assault Nicole was
00:22:39
questioned extensively by the police
00:22:42
department as much as the police would
00:22:43
like to have a person who definitely saw
00:22:45
the perpetrator that day her story has
00:22:48
changed too much to be of real value to
00:22:50
us the stress and confusion as she was
00:22:53
under at that point in time really made
00:22:55
it very difficult to get a real solid
00:22:57
sure story
00:22:59
4 days after the attack the murder
00:23:01
weapon a metal pipe was found in the
00:23:04
house it had been wiped cleaned of
00:23:07
fingerprints there was little to go on
00:23:09
and the police investigation
00:23:14
stalled
00:23:16
update a man named Raymond Tempest has
00:23:19
been convicted of killing darene peard
00:23:22
apparently Tempest attacks Susan with a
00:23:24
pipe after arguing over a litter of
00:23:27
pitbull puppies
00:23:29
and killed peard when she walked in on
00:23:31
the assault the investigation was
00:23:34
hindered by a possible police cover up
00:23:37
Raymond tempest's brother Gordon was a
00:23:39
police officer at the time of the
00:23:42
murders Gordon Tempest was sentenced to
00:23:45
7 years for perjury he has served his
00:23:47
time and was released Raymond Tempest
00:23:51
received the sentence of 85 years for
00:23:54
murdering darene peard
00:23:59
next a government official is suspected
00:24:01
of murdering his entire family and he's
00:24:05
been missing for over three
00:24:17
decades Columbia North
00:24:20
Carolina a state park ranger responds to
00:24:23
a report of a brush fire in a remote
00:24:26
wooded area
00:24:31
as the ranger brings the fire under
00:24:33
control he finds an empty gas can and a
00:24:37
shovel When the Smoke Clears the ranger
00:24:41
also discovers the remains of five
00:24:43
partially charred bodies in a shallow
00:24:46
grave three young boys and two
00:24:51
women investigators had only a few Clues
00:24:55
the victim's clothes had labels from
00:24:56
expensive Department stor in Bethesda
00:24:59
Maryland the shovel came from a hardware
00:25:01
store in the same area however Bethesda
00:25:05
police had no missing person's reports
00:25:07
that they could link to the bodies until
00:25:10
6 days
00:25:12
later 12 I received a radio call to
00:25:17
investigate the absence of five persons
00:25:20
from a residence in Bethesda unit 12
00:25:23
direct the call came from a neighbor of
00:25:25
William Bradford Bishop a respected
00:25:27
economist
00:25:28
with the state
00:25:30
department there was a common driveway
00:25:32
to the neighbor's home and to the bishop
00:25:34
home and I met the neighbor there to
00:25:37
investigate the whereabouts of the
00:25:39
family you called in a missing person
00:25:41
report yeah the Bishops usually when
00:25:43
they go was rather routine to do an
00:25:46
investigation like this it's not unusual
00:25:49
okay thank
00:25:49
[Music]
00:25:51
you and I wasn't overly concerned about
00:25:55
it until I reached the front step of the
00:25:58
um home and I noticed there were blood
00:26:00
droplets on the front
00:26:04
step upon opening the front door I saw
00:26:07
blood droplets uh leading from the
00:26:09
doorway through the forer and to a set
00:26:13
of stairs that led to the upper bedroom
00:26:16
level of the home and going to the
00:26:18
stairs I observed Blood splattering on
00:26:21
the wall and then the one bedroom that I
00:26:24
could see into almost the entire ceiling
00:26:27
and wall was completely splattered with
00:26:31
blood hardly a place you could put your
00:26:34
hand there wasn't blood
00:26:36
splattering i' had been a police officer
00:26:38
for approximately 12 years and this was
00:26:42
the worst scene that I've ever
00:26:47
observed authorities were finally able
00:26:49
to identify the five bodies Brad
00:26:53
Bishop's Wife
00:26:54
Annette his three
00:26:56
sons and his mother there was no sign of
00:27:00
Brad
00:27:01
Bishop was he also a victim or was there
00:27:05
a far more Sinister explanation for his
00:27:10
disappearance Bishop worked for the
00:27:12
state department as a director of
00:27:14
commercial practices and trade to most
00:27:17
of his co-workers he seemed to be on the
00:27:19
FasTrack to a high level
00:27:22
job but at least one coworker saw a
00:27:25
different side of Brad Bishop
00:27:29
Brad Bishop had extensive experience
00:27:31
overseas he liked the international
00:27:34
scene from the time he was in the Army
00:27:36
and Italy Brad's career uh was very much
00:27:40
on track although he was exceedingly
00:27:43
despondent about not uh getting a
00:27:48
promotion Roy Harold ran into Bishop
00:27:50
just outside the state department on the
00:27:53
day the annual promotion list came out
00:27:56
what's the matter
00:27:58
I didn't make the promotion list again
00:28:00
neither did I he said I'm think I'm
00:28:02
getting the flu I don't feel well at all
00:28:06
and U that's the reason I'm leaving work
00:28:09
now okay let's get a taxi so I helped
00:28:12
him heal a taxi and I watched him drive
00:28:16
out the next day Brad Bishop's Family
00:28:19
was found dead and he had disappeared
00:28:28
almost 3 weeks after the murders a
00:28:31
ranger in Tennessee discovered an
00:28:33
abandoned station wagon in the back he
00:28:36
found what looked like dried
00:28:38
blood the car was registered to William
00:28:42
Bradford Bishop Bishop was now the prime
00:28:45
suspect in the slaying of his own
00:28:50
family there was enough evidence for a
00:28:53
warrant to be issued for his arrest for
00:28:56
homicide based on the fact that there
00:28:59
appeared to be premeditation in
00:29:01
connection with the events that occurred
00:29:03
on March
00:29:04
1st the FBI has pieced together Bishop's
00:29:08
activities leading up to the murders on
00:29:11
the day he left the state department he
00:29:13
withdrew several hundred from his bank
00:29:15
account and went to a local hardware
00:29:18
store and gas station
00:29:32
as far as we know after that he returned
00:29:34
to his home probably around 7:30 to 8:00
00:29:37
at night after the children were put to
00:29:46
bed our investigation shows that Mrs
00:29:49
Bishop was probably killed first she was
00:29:52
found beside a book which she may have
00:29:54
been reading at the time that that she
00:29:56
was killed
00:29:58
the children were probably killed next
00:30:00
followed by Bishop's
00:30:04
mother they were all killed with a blunt
00:30:07
instrument and none of the victims had
00:30:10
an opportunity to defend
00:30:14
themselves according to the FBI Bishop
00:30:17
loaded the five bodies into the family's
00:30:19
station wagon and headed 200 mil South
00:30:23
to the countryside near Columbia North
00:30:25
Carolina
00:30:28
[Music]
00:30:29
Brad Bishop felt from the time I knew
00:30:32
him that there was something lacking in
00:30:34
himself this feeling was nourished
00:30:36
constantly by both his mother and to
00:30:39
some degree his wife who constantly told
00:30:43
him he was inadequate and washed up and
00:30:46
uh wasn't going anywhere in his career
00:30:49
and I think that uh he conceived in his
00:30:52
mind this was a way to as he's often
00:30:55
said many times about other people this
00:30:58
would be a way of putting them in their
00:31:04
place after buying a pair of tennis
00:31:07
shoes near the side of the fire Bishop
00:31:09
drove 400 miles to the Great Smoky
00:31:12
Mountains in Tennessee where his station
00:31:14
wagon was found abandoned Brad Bishop
00:31:18
successfully covered his tracks and was
00:31:20
not seen for 2
00:31:23
years then 5,000 m away in sento Italy a
00:31:29
bizarre coincidence Roy Harold came face
00:31:33
to face with Bishop in a bus station
00:31:36
restroom I was washing my hands and uh
00:31:40
this bearded dishevel looking man came
00:31:43
in in my mind's eye I took the beard and
00:31:46
the scrubby clothes off of him and I saw
00:31:49
the Brad Bishop I had seen coming out of
00:31:51
the state department oh my God no
00:32:01
R come back come back I pa watched him
00:32:07
disappear down the cliffs going toward
00:32:10
the boat landing where boats go to
00:32:15
Capri Bishop is wanted by the FBI Intero
00:32:19

[Music]
00:36:39
touch Lona Lisa Leonardo da Vinci's
00:36:44
Masterpiece through the centuries
00:36:45
Millions have been drawn to its mystery
00:36:48
and Beauty most art historians say that
00:36:51
Mona Lisa was the wife of a prosperous
00:36:54
Merchant but could the portrait hide a
00:36:57
secret
00:36:59
identity when Leonardo da Vinci died in
00:37:03
1519 The Secret of Mona's identity went
00:37:06
with him to the Grave however a recent
00:37:09
computer analysis of the portrait has
00:37:12
uncovered a new intriguing
00:37:16
Theory lilan Schwarz co-author of the
00:37:19
computer artist handbook pioneered the
00:37:22
use of the computer in
00:37:24
art Lillian and a colleague were working
00:37:27
with a new computer program when she
00:37:30
compared a self-portrait of Leonardo da
00:37:33
Vinci to the Mona
00:37:37
Lisa when the self-portrait was reversed
00:37:40
and placed beside the Mona Lisa a single
00:37:43
face
00:37:45
emerged the results were
00:37:48
amazing this was an incredible match
00:37:51
when I pointed this out I said my God I
00:37:54
look at this look at this I mean
00:37:55
Leonardo probably used himself for the
00:37:57
model for the Mona
00:38:00
Lisa the two faces appeared to be a
00:38:03
perfect match the eyes the nose and
00:38:06
especially the mouth using a different
00:38:10
computer Lillian and her colleague even
00:38:13
managed to turn up the corners of the
00:38:15
self-portraits mouth to copy the famous
00:38:18
Mona Lisa
00:38:20
Smile next they compare the
00:38:24
foreheads an extremely important clue
00:38:28
was that the superorbital ridge that is
00:38:32
very prominent in the Mona Lisa image
00:38:36
and in Leonardo self-portrait is found
00:38:38
in almost all males over 90% males
00:38:42
rarely would you see that in a female
00:38:46
head did Leonardo da Vinci actually
00:38:49
serve as the model for one of the
00:38:51
world's most beautiful women lilan
00:38:54
Schwarz took her findings to magazine
00:38:56
publisher Wick Allison initially I was
00:39:00
very skeptical of Lillian's
00:39:02
Discovery but when I got to understand
00:39:05
um a very detailed work being done in
00:39:07
the laboratory um it started to make uh
00:39:11
not only sense to me that this was the
00:39:13
answer but uh as we got to know more
00:39:16
about human facial
00:39:18
characteristics uh that it was the only
00:39:20
answer there's certain things that right
00:39:23
away would puzzle an art historian one
00:39:25
is that
00:39:27
the images Leonardo's images say the
00:39:30
Mona
00:39:31
Lisa is remarkable precisely for the
00:39:34
fact that it's not very distinct the
00:39:37
outlines of the face are not very
00:39:40
strongly marked there's a shadow under
00:39:42
the nose so you can't tell exactly how
00:39:44
long it is so if one wants to apply an a
00:39:49
scale there's nothing that tells you
00:39:51
exactly where that scale should go in
00:39:53
other words you're placing something
00:39:56
very specific
00:39:58
on top of something that's not very
00:40:01
specific Professor Kathleen Brent is
00:40:04
also skeptical about whether the drawing
00:40:07
is a
00:40:07
self-portrait if it was done by Da Vinci
00:40:10
it style suggests the date when he would
00:40:13
not have yet looked so old some in the
00:40:15
art World believe the portrait was
00:40:18
actually drawn by a clever
00:40:22
forger well I found something really
00:40:24
interesting here look Lillian set out to
00:40:26
prove her Theory
00:40:28
eventually she came across this study of
00:40:30
an Italian Duchess named Isabella that
00:40:33
many believe was a preliminary sketch of
00:40:36
the Mona
00:40:37
Lisa when Lillian compared the drawing
00:40:40
of Isabella to an x-ray of the painting
00:40:43
she found that it matched an UND sketch
00:40:46
that people always assumed was the Mona
00:40:48
Lisa for her it was a crucial
00:40:52
detail I'm convinced that Leonardo
00:40:56
started with isab
00:40:57
B and then he used himself to complete
00:41:01
this work of art changed much of what
00:41:05
was the Duchess incorporating his own uh
00:41:09
dimensions and
00:41:11
forehead to create this fictionalized
00:41:16
face however Professor Kathleen Brant
00:41:19
argues that Lillian's Theory conflicts
00:41:21
with Da Vinci's own philosophy about art
00:41:26
Leonardo k artists that every painter
00:41:30
somehow paints himself that is that his
00:41:33
own self-image is somehow inherent in
00:41:37
his images of others Leonardo says we
00:41:40
have to try to counteract that so
00:41:43
therefore it would be absolutely a
00:41:45
contradiction if he would should
00:41:47
willingly impose His Image into that of
00:41:51
a young
00:41:53
woman so did Leonardo da Vinci serve as
00:41:57
his own model for the world's most
00:41:59
famous
00:42:00
painting for 500 years the Mona Lisa has
00:42:04
kept her secret and maybe that's why she
00:42:08
is still smiling
