Saxonburg Pennsylvania 34 mil Northeast
00:01:44
of
00:01:46
Pittsburgh it's a small town full of
00:01:48
Treeline streets civic pride and people
00:01:51
who feel
00:01:53
safe so 16-year-old tiger freeling
00:01:57
didn't know what to think when he heard
00:01:59
gunshots out outside of his bedroom
00:02:00
window one
00:02:03
afternoon
00:02:06
Mom hey Mom my son was up in his bedroom
00:02:10
and he came down and he said Mom I heard
00:02:13
someone shooting outside and I said
00:02:16
tiger don't say that because you know
00:02:18
it's hunting season I said don't joke
00:02:20
around about it he said no somebody was
00:02:22
fighting and
00:02:25
shooting so I went out to the door and I
00:02:28
looked and I saw someone laying in the
00:02:31
bushes who's over there who is it mij
00:02:36
was horrified to discover her friend
00:02:38
saxonberg police chief Greg Adams
00:02:41
covered in
00:02:42
blood and he said I've been shot help me
00:02:46
and I said who did this to you and he
00:02:47
said he didn't know so then I just
00:02:50
happened to look up our driveway and I
00:02:52
saw a white car pull away I didn't see
00:02:55
the man that was driving it I just saw a
00:02:58
figure and I said you'll be okay you
00:03:02
know you you'll be fine and he said no I
00:03:04
think you better pray for me he said I
00:03:06
don't think I'm going to be and I think
00:03:08
that he knew he was
00:03:11
dying Greg had been shot twice and
00:03:13
beaten
00:03:15
severely he did not
00:03:19
survive 31-year-old Greg Adams left
00:03:22
behind a wife two young children and a
00:03:24
grieving
00:03:27
Community a loss like that is not
00:03:30
describable
00:03:32
it's
00:03:35
devastating that's it it's just
00:03:38
devastating the state police soon
00:03:40
arrived at the murder scene the parking
00:03:42
lot of the Agway Feed Store there they
00:03:45
found their first
00:03:46
clue a driver's license had been left at
00:03:50
the
00:03:52
scene Stanley J pis it's our belief that
00:03:56
that came out of Greg's hand when he was
00:03:59
shot Berg New Jersey the other piece of
00:04:02
physical evidence at the scene was the
00:04:03
gun that was used to shoot Greg and it
00:04:06
was empty and in void of any serial
00:04:09
numbers it was untraceable we still have
00:04:11
yet to trace the gun to see where it
00:04:12
came from but that operator's license
00:04:14
with the name Stanley John ptis on it
00:04:16
and a date of birth and an address in
00:04:17
New Jersey was a piece of physical
00:04:19
evidence that with without that we have
00:04:22
no idea who shot Greg
00:04:26
Adams Police immediately traced pse's
00:04:29
name to a Cemetery he had been dead for
00:04:32
32
00:04:34
years sty poris 1892
00:04:38
1948 I get a couple shots of over here
00:04:41
we did our background on Stanley John
00:04:43
poris and found out that he had a wife
00:04:46
and when we contacted that wife we found
00:04:49
out that she was married to a subject
00:04:51
named Donald Eugene Whip and Donald
00:04:53
Eugene web had totally taken on Stanley
00:04:55
John pse's
00:04:58
identification that Eugene Webb was
00:05:01
already well known to law enforcement he
00:05:03
was a member of the Fall River gang a
00:05:06
group that robbed stars and homes up and
00:05:08
down the Eastern Seaboard and now he was
00:05:11
on the FBI's 10 most wanted list for the
00:05:14
murder of Greg
00:05:17
Adams that day Greg Adams was working
00:05:20
his last shift before taking his yearly
00:05:23
vacation he left the station just after
00:05:25
lunch for a routine Patrol
00:05:29
Witnesses tell us uh the last they saw
00:05:32
Greg was on Water Street heading towards
00:05:34
the intersection of Butler Street when
00:05:37
they as well as Greg observed a white
00:05:39
Mercury Cougar not stopped for a posted
00:05:42
stop
00:05:44
sign this C Greg's attention immediately
00:05:47
he pulled a u-turn on Water Street and
00:05:49
proceeded after white
00:05:54
cougar Greg losing sight of the vehicle
00:05:57
upon coming around the turn prob
00:05:59
probably wondered where the white
00:06:00
vehicle went and at that point spied the
00:06:03
white cougar attempting to turn around
00:06:05
in the Agway parking lot he then
00:06:07
immediately blocked the white cougar
00:06:11
in most police officers are trained to
00:06:14
approach a traffic stop from the
00:06:17
rear Greg didn't have that kind of a an
00:06:20
ability on this stop because of the
00:06:21
positioning of the cars he had to
00:06:24
approach that vehicle from the front uh
00:06:26
he was naturally in a bad position got
00:06:29
have your license in registration please
00:06:31
sure hang
00:06:34
on there you
00:06:37
go I believe at that point in time web
00:06:40
got the drop on
00:06:42
[Music]
00:06:44
him he's hit twice the blood Trails on
00:06:48
the ground indicate that there was one
00:06:50
heck of a struggle there and Greg
00:06:52
actually shoots with his
00:06:57
gun and that struggle took them a long
00:07:00
way through the Agway parking lot back
00:07:02
to the m freeling residence where they
00:07:04
were
00:07:07
[Applause]
00:07:13
found of course Greg is a tough little
00:07:16
competitor but he loses his gun to web
00:07:20
and the gun's empty and web just beat
00:07:23
him with the gun
00:07:34
the town of Saxonburg has built a
00:07:36
monument to commemorate Greg Adams life

next a teenage girl spends hours
00:08:44
chatting on the internet and then
00:08:46
suddenly
00:08:47
disappears this man may know where she
00:08:51
is
00:08:54
[Music]
00:08:59
80 Mi north of Salt Lake City in hyram
00:09:04
Utah Joanne ay woke up at dawn her
00:09:08
daughter Trisha usually a late sleeper
00:09:11
was not in her bedroom or anywhere else
00:09:14
in the
00:09:16
house as Joann's concern turned to panic
00:09:19
she frantically called her daughter's
00:09:20
friends and sent Trisha's sisters to
00:09:23
search the
00:09:24
neighborhood when none of us found her
00:09:27
then I became really
00:09:29
frightened all of a sudden there was
00:09:31
this deep fear deep knot of fear in my
00:09:35
stomach because it wasn't like Trisha to
00:09:38
do
00:09:40
this and I knew that there was
00:09:43
something Gravely
00:09:45
wrong Trisha's sudden disappearance had
00:09:48
everyone worried it seemed unlikely that
00:09:51
she would run away but Trisha did have a
00:09:53
very active Fantasy Life and she spent a
00:09:56
lot of time on the internet could
00:09:58
something that she discovered there have
00:10:00
lured her away from her
00:10:03
home like many teenagers looking for
00:10:06
acceptance Trisha found adolescence a
00:10:09
painful experience she was a kid that
00:10:12
was ostracized in school the children
00:10:15
made fun of her she didn't have what she
00:10:18
really wanted and that was a really
00:10:19
close friend someone that she could
00:10:21
confide all of her adolescent dreams in
00:10:24
and be able to share those things with
00:10:27
so she was a pretty sad child from that
00:10:29
standpoint is that she just needed that
00:10:31
one special
00:10:33
friend Trisha often escaped her
00:10:36
unhappiness by writing elaborate stories
00:10:38
which included secretly aans with older
00:10:42
men two weeks before her disappearance
00:10:45
she told her family that she had started
00:10:47
a new story every night she typed
00:10:50
furiously into the early morning hours
00:11:01
on the night she vanished Trisha was as
00:11:03
usual at the
00:11:05
computer I'm going to bed night see you
00:11:09
tomorrow her sister Brienne was the last
00:11:12
family member to see
00:11:15
her for Trisha to disappear was totally
00:11:18
out of character for
00:11:20
her and what I was hoping was to find in
00:11:24
the story that she was writing some clue
00:11:27
as to what she was thinking of what her
00:11:29
frame of mind was and that's why I went
00:11:31
immediately there to begin looking when
00:11:35
Joan turned on the computer there was no
00:11:37
story only a few pages of scattered
00:11:40
thoughts so what had Trisha been doing
00:11:43
on the computer for all of those
00:11:47
hours computer expert John W Georgie
00:11:51
examined the system and made several
00:11:53
disturbing discoveries Trisha had three
00:11:56
separate email accounts and spent a a
00:11:59
lot of time in chat rooms even more
00:12:02
alarming all records of Trisha's recent
00:12:05
activity had been erased everything that
00:12:08
possibly could be found of who she
00:12:10
talked to what she'd been doing on the
00:12:11
computer in the the recent frame of time
00:12:15
was
00:12:16
deleted I I figured Trish was taught how
00:12:18
to delete these files because she did
00:12:20
not from what I was told by her mother
00:12:22
have the experience to know where these
00:12:25
files were stored and I took this as a
00:12:27
very bad sign that you know obviously
00:12:29
somebody was trying to cover their
00:12:31
tracks but who could this mystery person
00:12:33
have been Trisha gave no hints to her
00:12:36
friends or family that she had met
00:12:38
somebody
00:12:40
online neighbors however noticed
00:12:43
suspicious activity near the AY home on
00:12:46
several occasions about 2 weeks before
00:12:49
she disappeared one of our neighbors had
00:12:51
seen her get out of a red car on the
00:12:54
corner and what he thought was some
00:12:56
suspicious behaviors the way she was
00:12:59
walking back to the house from the
00:13:01
corner as if she didn't want to be seen
00:13:03
so that was our first report of a red
00:13:06
car another neighbor noticed something
00:13:09
early on the morning Trisha
00:13:12
disappeared the headlights from a car
00:13:14
coming up the street kind of struck the
00:13:16
bedroom window got my interest so I was
00:13:19
looking out the window and I saw kind of
00:13:21
economy type red car young man got out
00:13:24
of the car and oh he was
00:13:26
nervous first thing it popped in my mind
00:13:28
oh oh somebody's sneaking out of the
00:13:30
house and after a few minutes a lady was
00:13:33
coming down the street and they walked
00:13:35
to the car together and went on their
00:13:37
merry
00:13:39
way I believe that she could be seduced
00:13:42
into thinking she found someone who
00:13:45
needed her and could love
00:13:49
her I think that she was um bait good
00:13:54
bait for a
00:13:56
predator hello 2 hours after was seen
00:13:59
getting into the red car Glenda trip a
00:14:02
local convenience store employee
00:14:04
witnessed a strange
00:14:07
incident are you all right
00:14:10
honey yeah I'm okay thanks she seemed
00:14:13
really apprehensive and nervous and she
00:14:16
never acted like she was wanting to buy
00:14:18
anything but she kept kind of stretching
00:14:19
her little head and looking out the
00:14:21
window like she was looking for someone
00:14:23
or watching for
00:14:24
someone I've seen her in and about the
00:14:27
neighborhood so I nutrition
00:14:30
I have no doubt in my mind that it was
00:14:32
Trisha Trisha hung around for nearly
00:14:35
half an hour then the employee looked up
00:14:38
and Trisha was
00:14:41
gone for me as a mother the greatest
00:14:43
thing is this is a tiny person that I I
00:14:47
loved and nurtured and worried about and
00:14:51
I can no longer protect her I don't know
00:14:53
where she is
00:14:55
when I drive through town and I see
00:14:58
things that that we would have been
00:15:00
sharing together or activities come up
00:15:03
that we commonly did together as a
00:15:05
family and she's not there and there's
00:15:07
no I mean it's sometimes it just the the
00:15:10
grief just washes over you and it takes
00:15:13
your breath
00:15:15
away
00:15:17
update 6 months after Trisha's
00:15:20
disappearance local authorities became
00:15:22
suspicious of a man named Cody Lynn
00:15:26
neelen he did maintenance work for a
00:15:28
wildlife research group 8 miles from
00:15:31
Trisha's
00:15:32
home near the time of Trisha's
00:15:35
disappearance neelen had been seen using
00:15:37
a backhoe to dig deep trenches and then
00:15:41
refill them for no apparent
00:15:45
reason we contacted a cadaver dog team
00:15:49
out of duain County here in Utah and we
00:15:52
brought the dogs up to this site and
00:15:54
they they were real interested and they
00:15:56
they hit what they call hit on
00:15:59
uh this one area right here that we knew
00:16:01
that our suspect had been
00:16:04
digging Sheriff's Department
00:16:06
investigators began to dig with their
00:16:09
own back ho when we got to about 10 ft
00:16:12
we found a human
00:16:14
jawbone uh which later was determined to
00:16:17
be Trish
00:16:18
otes it was just nothing short of a
00:16:21
miracle that we found that piece of
00:16:23
evidence in that big of a
00:16:26
hole in other trenches Sheriff's
00:16:28
deputies found more fragments of
00:16:30
Trisha's remains some that had been
00:16:35
burned for Trisha's mother the news of
00:16:39
the discovery brought great pain but
00:16:41
also some sense of
00:16:44
relief primarily because of our faith we
00:16:46
know where she is now where before we
00:16:49
wondered we would lie awake together at
00:16:51
night and worry about whether she was in
00:16:53
the cold or whether someone was hurting
00:16:57
her it's probably been and very
00:16:59
agonizing but also very validating
00:17:02
because we knew that she did not run
00:17:07
away Cody lindson was sentenced to life
00:17:11
without the possibility of parole for
00:17:13
the murder of Trisha
00:17:17
[Laughter]
00:17:22
Ary next how did this 12-year-old become
00:17:25
such an accomplished piano player it's
00:17:28
the mystery of child
00:17:35
[Music]
00:17:39
prodigies who hasn't spent time
00:17:41
struggling to learn a musical instrument
00:17:43
learn how to paint or solve a complex
00:17:45
bth problem get ready to meet child
00:17:49
prodigies from an early age they
00:17:51
demonstrate mindboggling talents in art
00:17:54
science or music but no one knows why
00:17:59
Queens New
00:18:02
York at just 14 Jessica constant looked
00:18:06
like a typical teenager but she was
00:18:08
already a college
00:18:11
student Jessica had attended New York
00:18:14
City Technical College since she was 12
00:18:17
years old oh I used to hate the first
00:18:20
days because I would have to walk into
00:18:22
class and everybody' be staring at me I
00:18:25
was so scared but now I'm used to it
00:18:31
I think he is I want to become a doctor
00:18:33
but I'm going to become a nurse
00:18:35
before micobiology and child psychology
00:18:38
are the only two courses I have left
00:18:39
before I enter the nursing's
00:18:42
program then after I do two years of
00:18:44
that I get my associates degree then I'm
00:18:46
going to go on to medical
00:18:48
school but Jessica was interested in
00:18:51
more than
00:18:52
academics she was also a talented chist
00:18:55
at the prestigious juliard School of
00:18:58
Music
00:19:00
Jessica and her brothers Daniel and
00:19:02
Pierre performed together as the
00:19:05
constant Trio they have appeared at
00:19:07
venues such as the Kennedy Center in
00:19:09
Washington DC their talent is undeniable
00:19:14
yet they didn't inherit it from their
00:19:18
parents sometimes when I look at the kid
00:19:21
playing I wish I could have be the one
00:19:24
playing instead of having to
00:19:27
listen I never never thought I would
00:19:29
have it in my own house when I see the
00:19:32
kids doing trios together it's it's
00:19:34
fantastic it's uh it's kind of like a
00:19:38
dream come true for
00:19:39
[Music]
00:19:41
me Carolton Texas is home to another
00:19:44
American child prodigy Albert Wong
00:19:48
Albert was so smart that he taught
00:19:50
himself a wide variety of subjects from
00:19:53
college
00:19:56
textbooks he is a skilled violinist
00:19:59
and a world famous concert pianist and
00:20:02
Elbert is a genius in science as well as
00:20:06
[Music]
00:20:15
music it's very rare when you find a
00:20:17
musical prodigy it's very rare when you
00:20:20
find a child who is
00:20:23
so talented at academic
00:20:26
work that they need to move at such a
00:20:29
rapid Pace the combination of those two
00:20:33
things in one child is extremely
00:20:36
rare each appears separately
00:20:40
infrequently the combination appears
00:20:42
almost
00:20:46
never Albert Wong first displayed his
00:20:49
extraordinary Talent when he was just 3
00:20:52
years old by the time he was five he had
00:20:55
already won the grand prize in a Dallas
00:20:58
piano competition for children up to age
00:21:01
[Music]
00:21:09
18 wanting to nurture their only child's
00:21:13
natural gift Albert's parents took him
00:21:15
shopping for a concert grand piano to
00:21:19
test the pianos I believe I was playing
00:21:21
a
00:21:22
piece it was about the third piano I was
00:21:24
playing on and then this gentleman just
00:21:27
walked over so he came over introduced
00:21:30
himself and said actually very uh
00:21:33
directly say that Albert is very
00:21:35
talented and I know just the right
00:21:37
teacher for
00:21:39
him Albert began taking lessons and
00:21:42
eventually studied with Earl wild a
00:21:45
former child prodigy
00:21:48
himself wild performed at Carnegie Hall
00:21:51
to celebrate his 85th
00:21:55
birthday after the concert he invited
00:21:58
Albert on
00:22:00
stage Mr wild stunned everyone
00:22:03
especially Albert by announcing that
00:22:05
Albert would perform that
00:22:07
night are you ready to play over hey I
00:22:11
had not touched the piano in six
00:22:13
days and I mean I didn't even have a
00:22:15
chance to wor on my
00:22:20
fingers Albert's performance captivated
00:22:23
the
00:22:25
audience that same year at age 10 Albert
00:22:29
recorded his first CD it received rave
00:22:35
reviews The Prodigy has always
00:22:38
represented the
00:22:40
Unexplained in the absence of an
00:22:42
explanation that meets rational and
00:22:45
scientific
00:22:46
criteria we look for an explanation
00:22:49
wherever we can find one and
00:22:50
reincarnation is attractive because it
00:22:53
seems to account for some of the
00:22:56
unbelievable and and unexplainable parts
00:22:59
of the
00:23:02
Prodigy Albert himself does not dismiss
00:23:05
the possibility of his own existence in
00:23:08
a past
00:23:09
life I must have done something good in
00:23:13
order to have deserved
00:23:16
this I'm hammering in your king from all
00:23:20
sides so there's no Escape
00:23:23
Route Albert's parents quickly learned
00:23:25
that he also had a gift for Math and
00:23:27
Science
00:23:28
his mother was afraid that he'd get
00:23:30
bored with a conventional education so
00:23:33
she gave up her career to homeschool
00:23:36
him I used to get up 3 or 4 in the
00:23:40
morning to prepare myself to teach
00:23:43
Albert fast enough um now I don't have
00:23:46
to do it because Albert is old enough to
00:23:49
be independent so my life is much easy
00:23:53
enough when Albert developed a strong
00:23:56
interest in science his mother searched
00:23:58
for a
00:23:59
tutor she chose a physics Professor
00:24:03
that's X you have an inverted coordinate
00:24:06
system in order to comply with the FN I
00:24:09
think the biggest thing in terms of
00:24:10
working with Albert is that you never
00:24:12
have to say something twice whatever
00:24:14
mistake he might make he's made it the
00:24:16
last time he's going to make it of the
00:24:18
three Sciences physics chemistry and
00:24:21
biology is my own belief that physics is
00:24:24
the most Center of all the sciences that
00:24:26
every other science branches from
00:24:28
physics
00:24:29
biology is physics applied to living
00:24:32
organisms and chemistry is physics
00:24:34
applied to chemical reactions atoms
00:24:38
molecules and macro
00:24:41
molecules well I love to study I love to
00:24:44
read books I love studying Shakespeare's
00:24:46
Romeo and Juliet every time I study it I
00:24:49
uncover new literary elements that are
00:24:51
very
00:24:52
tasty
00:24:56
delicious where could Albert's t
00:24:59
have come from neither his mom or my
00:25:03
family had any clue or or any relatives
00:25:07
in the families who had ever been a
00:25:09
musician or even good in one instrument
00:25:11
at
00:25:13
all we know that there have been amazing
00:25:17
Prodigy cases through history so we know
00:25:21
that from time to time such individuals
00:25:25
appear what we don't know is what the
00:25:28
causes underlying the appearance of
00:25:30
prodigies might be are they genetic are
00:25:34
they evolutionary are they cultural are
00:25:36
they
00:25:37
historical are they something that's a
00:25:40
combination of all of those things those
00:25:42
are questions we don't know the answers
00:25:48
to although we hope to understand the
00:25:52
Prodigy better in the 21st century it
00:25:55
remains a mystery
00:26:04
next all her life she was a prisoner
00:26:08
first of tradition then of her husband
00:26:12
but finally she was ready to make
00:26:16
[Music]
00:26:24
herisk Sal Miguel Island Portugal
00:26:30
in the main Church on the island the
00:26:31
wedding of twin sisters Alice and
00:26:34
Georgina Aruda seemed like a double
00:26:37
blessing to their family but one
00:26:39
marriage was destined for
00:26:43
tragedy 14 years later Alice would be
00:26:46
dead and her husband David on the
00:26:49
[Music]
00:26:54
run the same family members who attended
00:26:57
Alice's wedding would be tending her
00:27:03
grave Alis cuda's life was shaped by
00:27:06
Portuguese tradition marriages were
00:27:08
arranged a daughter was brought up
00:27:11
strictly to obey first her father and
00:27:14
then later her husband it was a devoutly
00:27:16
Catholic world where only death could
00:27:19
truly end a
00:27:22
marriage Alice and David were born in
00:27:25
the islands west of Portugal known as
00:27:28
the the
00:27:29
azors when Alice was nine her family
00:27:32
immigrated to New Bedford Massachusetts
00:27:35
even in America Alice's father was
00:27:38
determined that his children would be
00:27:40
brought up with traditional Portuguese
00:27:43
values my dad was very strict with the
00:27:45
girls um we weren't allowed to wear
00:27:47
makeup we couldn't wear shorts and
00:27:50
definitely we couldn't have boyfriends
00:27:52
you know it was uh go to school come
00:27:54
home do housework and stay in the house
00:27:56
we were not allowed to even sit out on
00:27:58
the porch That's how strict he
00:28:01
was when Alice was 12 a letter arrived
00:28:05
from Portugal it was from her
00:28:07
11-year-old cousin
00:28:10
David to Alice's surprise David was
00:28:13
proposing that they be
00:28:15
engaged cousins often married in
00:28:17
traditional Portuguese families like the
00:28:20
arutas so the proposal was taken very
00:28:25
seriously at first my mom says oh you
00:28:27
know you're kind kind of young and my
00:28:29
father right away insisted that she
00:28:31
should stop writing to him because that
00:28:33
was his family and uh knowing that uh
00:28:36
you know that'd be nice being married
00:28:38
into the family so he gave the okay on
00:28:40
Alice and she wrote back to David
00:28:42
stating that they would be going out by
00:28:45
writing the letters continued for 5
00:28:48
years David and Alice never once talked
00:28:52
on the
00:28:53
phone they didn't see each other until
00:28:56
Alice and her family returned to
00:28:58
Portugal for the
00:29:01
[Music]
00:29:03
wedding David and Alice eventually
00:29:05
settled near her parents in New Bedford
00:29:08
although David spoke little English he
00:29:11
found work in a textile plant within a
00:29:14
year Alice was
00:29:16
pregnant the marriage went off pretty
00:29:18
good like maybe I'd say about the first
00:29:20
couple of months and then uh you know
00:29:22
already he was already starting with her
00:29:24
you know she couldn't wear makeup she
00:29:26
couldn't do anything you know he is very
00:29:28
jealous very possessed of my
00:29:31
sister 7 years into their marriage Alice
00:29:34
and David had three children but it was
00:29:36
not a happy
00:29:38
household David oh come on dad David sh
00:29:47
this she stayed with him because she
00:29:50
figured you know he's the father of the
00:29:51
kids and um that's how she was brought
00:29:54
up you know you got to be with your
00:29:55
husband and that's the way it is
00:30:02
they used to always say uh if you ever
00:30:04
leave me I'm going to kill you there's
00:30:06
no other woman in my you know for my
00:30:08
life like you are you know you're a good
00:30:10
mother you're have a good cook and he
00:30:12
always had threatened her that if she
00:30:13
ever decided to leave him for anybody
00:30:15
that he would kill her but we never took
00:30:17
it
00:30:24
seriously sometimes she go up to my
00:30:26
parents and tell my mom that uh my I
00:30:29
can't take him anymore he's always
00:30:30
beating me up or for any little reason
00:30:33
and he's always beating up the kids and
00:30:35
um my parents would always like tell her
00:30:37
you got to stay with him he's your
00:30:39
husband you know it's going to be a
00:30:40
shame to the family if you divorce him
00:30:42
we don't believe in divorces so they
00:30:44
kept shoving it back to
00:30:47
him finally after 14 years of abuse
00:30:51
Alice Found the courage to defy her
00:30:53
parents and her
00:30:55
husband she finally felt strong enough
00:30:58
to say I can't take it anymore and she
00:31:00
decided to get him out of the house she
00:31:02
finally sat down and says David I can't
00:31:05
take it anymore I want you to
00:31:07
leave David moved out and Alice began to
00:31:11
build a new life for herself she
00:31:13
enrolled in nursing school and began
00:31:15
seeing another man but David could not
00:31:18
let
00:31:20
go he began to stalk Alice at work and
00:31:24
at home night and day
00:31:39
David her boyfriend went by the house to
00:31:42
see her that morning and uh David drove
00:31:45
up and down and I think he spotted the
00:31:47
boyfriend's car at the house and uh my
00:31:50
brother-in-law couldn't take that
00:32:04
Alice's boyfriend witnessed the attack
00:32:06
and ran a mile to the nearest police
00:32:08
station to get help Alice had been
00:32:11
blundon with a tire jack and then
00:32:13
stabbed 24 times with a butcher knife by
00:32:18
the time police arrived the young mother
00:32:19
of three was dead and David Vieira was
00:32:23
nowhere to be found we learned that he
00:32:26
in fact had taken a bus
00:32:28
from Far River Massachusetts to Boston
00:32:31
Massachusetts and then from Boston to
00:32:34
Canada someone matching his description
00:32:37
did in fact get off a bus in Canada near
00:32:39
Hamilton Ontario and from that point on
00:32:42
we were unable to find out where he
00:32:46
went
00:32:48
update as a result of our original
00:32:50
broadcast David Vieira was captured in
00:32:54

telephone calls from Canada right here
00:33:09

00:33:12
to his

00:33:38
years in

prison I've seen him apprehended and
00:33:43
with handcuffs and to me that was a sign
00:33:45
of saying thank God I can rest and my
00:33:47
sister can also be at peace now that
00:33:49
he's
00:33:52
caught coming up when a reclusive woman

1941 the United States was plunged into
00:34:15
World War II like many others
00:34:18
30-year-old Harry Young felt a call to
00:34:21
duty there's a war going on I need you
00:34:23
to sign this paper Harry I think it's a
00:34:26
terrible idea for you to leave right now
00:34:28
I need you Harry wanted to enlist but to
00:34:31
comply with military regulations about
00:34:33
soldiers with families Harry needed

Laura Harry walked out on his wife never

pregnant with their second son and he
00:34:54
never found out Harry died in action
00:34:57
with in 2 years of
00:35:01
enlisting years later Harry's oldest son
00:35:04
Albert was researching the family tree
00:35:07
when he found a newspaper article about
00:35:09
his father's death to his amazement the
00:35:13
obituary mentioned a daughter but not
00:35:15
Albert or his brother
00:35:18
Jim well at first I thought that the uh
00:35:20
the paper made a mistake which wasn't
00:35:22
common you know papers do make mistakes
00:35:24
and uh I thought maybe the they have got
00:35:26
the information wrong
00:35:28
and uh I had a copy made so I could go
00:35:31
into a fether Albert learned that after
00:35:33
Harry left home he became involved with
00:35:36
another woman together they had a
00:35:39
daughter Kathleen Mary Young born while
00:35:42
Harry was overseas
00:35:44
sweetie look we can do nothing after
00:35:46
Harry's death the woman took Kathleen to
00:35:49
Harry's parents but they wanted nothing
00:35:51
to do with either of them I have some of
00:35:53
Harry's things would you like me to
00:35:55
bring them over to you no just send
00:36:02
them Kathleen Mary young grew up knowing
00:36:05
very little about her two half Brothers
00:36:08
but Albert and Jim had been trying to
00:36:10
find her for more than a
00:36:13
decade
00:36:15
update on the night of our broadcast
00:36:18
Kathleen was watching she recognized her
00:36:21
family story and called our phone center
00:36:25
what makes me feel good it makes me feel
00:36:26
like special in a way that they took the
00:36:29
time in all those years that now that I
00:36:30
know that they were looking for
00:36:32
me the long separation ended when
00:36:35
Kathleen and her family came to meet her
00:36:37
half Brothers for the first
00:36:40
time I know I saw the film how you

00:37:00
Harry Young's three children the reunion
00:37:02

00:37:05
doing after 50 years apart they could
00:37:09
finally build some memories
00:37:11
[Music]
00:37:15
together we've all heard the stories it
00:37:18
seems that just about every town in
00:37:20
America has a village Reus in Portland
00:37:23
Oregon it was a woman named Catherine
00:37:26
Bennett
00:37:28
Catherine was an eccentric nearly
00:37:30
destitute packrat she dressed in men's
00:37:33
clothing rarely left her home and
00:37:36
refused to discuss her past with anyone
00:37:39
but when she died Katherine Bennett left
00:37:42
a small fortune and nobody to give it
00:37:45
[Music]
00:37:47
to little is known about Catherine
00:37:50
before
00:37:51
1941 that year she met a handsome young
00:37:54
soldier named Gilbert Bennett
00:37:57
6 months later they were
00:38:00
married after World War II Gilbert
00:38:03
became a commercial photographer and
00:38:05
Catherine was his favorite
00:38:08
subject oh yeah this is the spot the two
00:38:11
shared a love for The Great Outdoors and
00:38:14
spent many days on the rivers of the
00:38:16
Pacific
00:38:18
Northwest they loved the outdoor life
00:38:21
and uh they fished every chance that
00:38:22
they get Katie was an excellent
00:38:25
fisherman I think she was better than
00:38:26
Gilbert
00:38:28
Gil I got one
00:38:30
on they're very devoted to each other
00:38:35
truly good girl they were inseparable
00:38:39
every place they went they went together
00:38:40
and they fished together and they hunted
00:38:42
together and what have you I'm sure that
00:38:45
they were very much in love with each
00:38:47
other Gilbert and Katherine never had
00:38:50
children instead they built a loving
00:38:53
private Universe for
00:38:55
two after 38 years of marriage gilbertt
00:38:59
died and Catherine began to change when
00:39:03
she lost Gilbert she just
00:39:05
lost everything I
00:39:08
guess and uh I had talked to Katie
00:39:11
concerned about her future and I asked
00:39:14
her if she had any living relatives and
00:39:17
she said no she didn't have a family she
00:39:19
was raised in an orphan home and she
00:39:21
didn't know anything about a
00:39:24
family and she just uh withdrew
00:39:28
some holidays we asked her to come to
00:39:30
dinner and stuff like this and she
00:39:32
wouldn't do that and we just
00:39:35
couldn't uh couldn't keep in contact
00:39:38
with her too long as a result of this
00:39:41
after 10 years alone Catherine Bennett
00:39:44
passed away she was 80 years
00:39:48
old when no blood relatives could be
00:39:51
located representatives from the Oregon
00:39:53
Division of State lands went to sort out
00:39:56
her estate
00:40:00
oh boy look at this a mess her home was
00:40:04
unkempt it was cluttered it was dirty it
00:40:06
was flea infested wonder how long it's
00:40:09
been like
00:40:10
this it had an odor it was uh as if a
00:40:14
hermit had lived there Mr Bennett's
00:40:17
clothing was still draped over the the
00:40:20
back of the chairs and the
00:40:23
bedroom our first job is to locate a
00:40:27
will or locate airs and when we enter a
00:40:29
home we quickly sift through the
00:40:31
personal papers looking for letters
00:40:33
insurance policies anything that might
00:40:36
lead to an
00:40:37
air the investigators never found a will
00:40:41
but they did find piles of unopen Social
00:40:44
Security checks along with rare coins
00:40:47
and two separate bank accounts after her
00:40:50
house was sold the value of Katherine's
00:40:53
estate totaled more than
00:40:56
$125,000 but without a will and with no
00:40:58
known blood relatives the state of
00:41:01
Oregon was forced to hold Catherine's
00:41:03
money until her heirs could be
00:41:08
found Katherine was born in Kansas City
00:41:11
Kansas in
00:41:13
1910 she told her in-laws that she was
00:41:16
raised in a Catholic orphanage after the
00:41:18
death of her parents before her marriage
00:41:22
she went by the name Katherine yurovich
00:41:25
but in Gilbert's Family Bible her maiden
00:41:28
name is listed as
00:41:30
Bernard the state of Oregon is looking
00:41:32
for anyone who might be a blood relative
00:41:35
of Catherine's and possibly entitled to
00:41:37
all or a portion of her
00:41:42
estate
00:41:43
update a distant relative of Catherine's
00:41:46
was found and awarded half of the estate
00:41:50
since no other relatives came forward
00:41:52
the remaining money eventually went to
00:41:54
the Oregon State Treasury
00:41:59
