this program is about unsolved mysteries
00:00:07
whenever possible the actual family
00:00:09
members and police officials have
00:00:10
participated in recreating the events
00:00:12
what you are about to see is not a news
00:00:14
broadcast tonight an intriguing look at
00:00:22
a little-known phenomenon the mysterious
00:00:24
link between adoptees and their birth
00:00:26
families many believe that even after
00:00:29
years of separation they are connected
00:00:31
by remarkable psychic time and cannot be
00:00:34
explained by coincidence or science in
00:00:38
Rhode Island a wild car chase ended in
00:00:41
the stabbing deaths of 20 year old Jason
00:00:42
bass his attacker I remember he was
00:00:45
convicted of murder and then released on
00:00:48
bail pending sentencing
00:00:49
hours later a Murray's car was found
00:00:52
abandoned on a Newport Bridge leading
00:00:54
many to believe that Emery and his wife
00:00:56
had jumped to their deaths but reliable
00:00:59
sources believe that Adam Emery may
00:01:01
still be alive when 38 year-old Latricia
00:01:05
white was murdered the police and her
00:01:07
family began to suspect her boyfriend
00:01:09
dog walker hunt would mysteriously
00:01:11
dropped from sight more than a year
00:01:14
later he is still missing
00:01:15
but his dub a cold-blooded killer or was
00:01:18
he a victim of violence himself joined
00:01:22
these intriguing new cases and much more
00:01:25
perhaps you may be able to help solve a
00:01:29
mystery

00:02:15
a joyous reunion between a mother and
00:02:29
her long-lost daughter brothers and
00:02:32
sisters who grew up apart meet for the
00:02:34
first time as adults remarkable moments
00:02:39
like these have been captured by our
00:02:40
cameras dozens of times imagine meeting
00:02:45
a child or a sibling in reality a
00:02:48
complete stranger after years of
00:02:50
wondering what he or she is like we have
00:02:52
learned that in many cases reunited
00:02:54
family members of a surprising amount in
00:02:56
common more than can be explained by
00:02:58
genetics or simple coincidence we
00:03:01
decided to take a closer look at this
00:03:03
mysterious connection this bond that
00:03:06
seemed to defy scientific explanation
00:03:11
Don Larkin grew up knowing he had been
00:03:14
adopted but he was 44 years old before
00:03:17
he finally located his birth mother
00:03:19
Betty Landers even before Don met Betty
00:03:23
he knew they would have much in common
00:03:25
as he approached her house for the first
00:03:28
time
00:03:28
Don noticed an unusual display of
00:03:30
knickknacks hanging in the window a
00:03:32
carved hummingbird and next to it a
00:03:35
crystal prism Don had only seen these
00:03:39
items together in one other place his
00:03:42
own front window
00:03:43
it really is startled me to see somebody
00:03:47
else having something like that in the
00:03:49
window their halls and I just thought
00:03:53
well she must be pretty neat lady
00:03:54
because you pick the same stuff I did
00:03:58
coincidences that are very rare such as
00:04:01
Betty and Don's both having hummingbirds
00:04:04
and crystals in their front windows of
00:04:05
their houses are almost impossible to
00:04:07
explain by the traditional cause-effect
00:04:10
genetic relationship that's a very good
00:04:12
example of one that is probably due to
00:04:15
some unknown spiritual psychic
00:04:18
connection
00:04:21
many believe at the same eerie bond
00:04:23
exists between separated siblings
00:04:26
Lorelai Smith who everyone call lorry
00:04:29
was the only daughter of her adoptive
00:04:31
parents yet even as a four year oh she
00:04:34
sensed that somewhere she had a sister I
00:04:44
was so firm about it one of the teachers
00:04:48
felt necessary to contact my parents I
00:04:53
was told at the time not to continue
00:04:59
with this illusion or fantasy but I
00:05:01
apparently still kept insisting I had a
00:05:04
sister at that time in 1959 Lorelai did
00:05:08
indeed have a sister Laurie then one and
00:05:11
a half years old and we were living in
00:05:13
Alaska Lorelai was in New Mexico as
00:05:18
childrend
00:05:19
Laurie Smith and her sister Laurie
00:05:20
Stifler had much more in common than
00:05:22
just their first names both owned horses
00:05:26
and both played the same musical
00:05:28
instruments the flute and the guitar
00:05:30
surprisingly they had each learned sign
00:05:33
language though neither one knew a
00:05:35
single deaf person I believe that the
00:05:38
most common explanation for these
00:05:40
coincidences is probably genetic but
00:05:44
there are coincidences that the genetic
00:05:46
attachment the genetic cause simply
00:05:49
can't explain and then I think we have
00:05:51
to look to a spiritual a telepathic
00:05:53
a psychokinetic type of explanation
00:05:56
difficult as that may be to do
00:06:00
Elizabeth bursa Nettie's story is a case
00:06:03
in point she grew up with her adoptive
00:06:06
family in Southern California for as
00:06:08
long as she can remember Elizabeth was
00:06:10
drawn to anything and everything French
00:06:16
I've always had a fascination with
00:06:19
languages and the first one I wanted to
00:06:20
speak was French I was just obsessed
00:06:24
with the language it was so foreign to
00:06:27
me and I just I wanted to be different I
00:06:30
wanted to be those people that I saw in
00:06:32
the films the Parisians walking along
00:06:34
the the students studying at the
00:06:36
Sorbonne I wanted that identity I wanted
00:06:39
to be French in 1985
00:06:43
Elizabeth formally requested a reunion
00:06:45
with her birth mother
00:06:46
through the agency that had handled her
00:06:48
adoption however both Elizabeth's birth
00:06:51
mother and adoptive mother were required
00:06:53
to give their consent afraid to hurt her
00:06:56
adoptive mother's feelings
00:06:58
Elizabeth postponed the search five
00:07:02
years past in January of 1990 Elizabeth
00:07:06
married a young man she met while
00:07:07
traveling in Italy Elizabeth says at one
00:07:12
month later she began to have a series
00:07:14
of recurring dreams a shadowy woman
00:07:17
always appeared and Elizabeth soon came
00:07:20
to believe the woman was her birth
00:07:22
mother my mother was being told that she
00:07:25
didn't have very long to live that she
00:07:27
had cancer and that it was going to
00:07:29
progress at a very rapid rate
00:07:33
there was a lot of sadness I felt from
00:07:35
the dream she was obviously very gravely
00:07:40
ill and to me that said that she was
00:07:44
dying
00:07:45
[Music]
00:07:47
when Elizabeth woke up she was really
00:07:50
upset about it and you know of course I
00:07:52
said you know it's impossible just over
00:07:54
worried about it you have to worry it
00:07:56
and it's not gonna be anything but then
00:08:00
she had the same dream again
00:08:02
the following days and she actually
00:08:04
wants woke up crying about it in late
00:08:11
August
00:08:11
I woke up with the almost the fact that
00:08:15
my mother was dead I was never gonna
00:08:18
meet her it was over I was never gonna
00:08:20
see her I was too late it was on me that
00:08:24
whole the whole day and all the days
00:08:26
after that that I had missed her soon
00:08:31
after that disturbing dream
00:08:33
Elizabeth returned to the adoption
00:08:35
agency this time she had her adoptive
00:08:38
mother's signed consent in hand I guess
00:08:41
all the waivers are in all the waivers
00:08:44
are in you mean you have my birth
00:08:45
mothers as well
00:08:46
oh yes since May of 85 Elizabeth was
00:08:51
stunned by the timing her birth mother
00:08:54
had asked for a reunion
00:08:55
just days after Elizabeth own initial
00:08:58
request Nicole Roland and she's
00:09:02
french-canadian
00:09:09
Oh Bonjour I'm looking for Nick overlong
00:09:15
please oh yes um I'm an old friend of
00:09:21
hers from Los Angeles the call has
00:09:28
passed away
00:09:30
when last August
00:09:34
it was devastating and I said did she
00:09:38
die on August 28th and she said yes and
00:09:40
she just broke into tears and said how
00:09:42
would you know that all I could think of
00:09:45
was that my dreams were true that I I
00:09:48
had had this strange connection to her I
00:09:51
had known when she was sick and I had
00:09:52
known when she died incredibly Nicole
00:09:59
Rowland had lived the life Elisabeth
00:10:02
once dreamed of for herself Nicole had
00:10:05
been a professor of French spending two
00:10:07
years among the Parisians studying at
00:10:10
the Sorbonne it seems that me and my
00:10:13
birth mother had a lot in common and
00:10:14
would have had a lot in common had we'd
00:10:16
been able to know each other it appears
00:10:18
that we were living at times of parallel
00:10:20
life doing the same things being in the
00:10:23
same places and interested in the same
00:10:28
subjects although Elizabeth was never
00:10:33
able to meet Nicole she did discover a
00:10:36
whole new family
00:10:37
Elizabeth flew to Canada to meet her
00:10:40
half-sister Sophie and a house full of
00:10:42
Nicole's friends and relatives
00:10:47
during the visit Elizabeth continued to
00:10:50
find unexplainable links to her birth
00:10:52
mother I went to all the crayons and I
00:11:09
selected a turquoise gran which was sort
00:11:11
of odd I thought but I just it was an
00:11:14
unconscious thing and I started drawing
00:11:15
this house and I'd never done a house
00:11:18
like this in my life it was the door was
00:11:21
on the wrong side the garage was was on
00:11:25
the wrong side of the door and it had
00:11:26
little weird dormers and turquoise trim
00:11:29
and I just remark Tevan while I was
00:11:33
dragging all this is a strange house and
00:11:34
well it's a house here it is John look
00:11:37
at this the room got very quiet
00:11:41
everybody seemed to be staring at me and
00:11:43
I felt very uncomfortable
00:11:45
Elizabeth why did you draw this house
00:11:50
really you don't know no the day after I
00:11:58
did the drawing my sister took me to the
00:12:00
house that she lived in with my mother
00:12:01
and it was the house that I had drawn
00:12:03
the previous night
00:12:05
the same little odd house with the
00:12:08
peaked roof and the turquoise trim and
00:12:10
the garage on the wrong side Elizabeth
00:12:15
says it just before leaving Canada one
00:12:17
final extraordinary incident reaffirmed
00:12:20
the almost magical connection with her
00:12:22
birth mother a friend of Nicole's gave
00:12:30
Elizabeth one of Nicole's most treasured
00:12:32
books a collection of poems by a German
00:12:35
writer as it happened the author was
00:12:40
also one of Elizabeth's favorites in
00:12:42
fact she had brought the same book with
00:12:44
her to Canada
00:12:47
I would like to believe that she was
00:12:51
consciously communicating with me but I
00:12:53
don't really have any way of knowing I
00:12:56
can whatever it is I think that it's
00:12:59
powerful and that it's it's it's
00:13:03
certainly alternately wonderful and
00:13:07
frightening sometimes when we begin to
00:13:11
look at the connections that seem to
00:13:13
occur across both time and space we run
00:13:16
into the inability of our current
00:13:18
knowledge system to explain things like
00:13:20
this but they happen so frequently that
00:13:23
there must be some reality behind them
00:13:26
maybe I am looking for a connection to
00:13:28
her that's deeper and more rooted than
00:13:32
it might have been but I tend to think
00:13:34
that what I feel is very true she
00:13:40
couldn't give me the legacy of knowing
00:13:41
her or of having shared things with me
00:13:45
so she shared things with me
00:13:48
in another way
00:13:50
[Music]
00:13:56
next the bazaar saga of Adam Embry did
00:13:59
the convicted murderer commits suicide
00:14:01
by jumping from Rhode Island's loop port
00:14:03
bridge that he cleverly staged his own
00:14:06
death
00:14:06
[Music]
00:14:16
the Newport Bridge arcs some two miles
00:14:19
across the Narragansett Bay and Rhode
00:14:21
Island at its highest point the roadbed
00:14:24
stands 219 feet above the water on the
00:14:30
evening of November 10th 1993 the bridge
00:14:33
was a scene of a sobering discovery the
00:14:36
latest twist in one of the state's most
00:14:38
sensational murder cases shortly before
00:14:43
7 p.m. a bridge supervisor at a state
00:14:46
trooper investigated an empty car that
00:14:48
was blocking one of the westbound lanes
00:14:50
the engine was running and the
00:14:53
headlights were on
00:14:57
to check the size on the backseat were
00:15:01
several articles of clothing neatly
00:15:03
folded upfront cash caught up credit
00:15:09
cards and a driver's license when I
00:15:13
first got up there I thought it was an
00:15:15
abandoned car he checked the car and he
00:15:17
said oh no and that's when we knew he
00:15:22
says it was the Emery's car
00:15:26
most anyone in Rhode Island would have
00:15:28
recognized the name Emery that very day
00:15:31
Adam Amory had been convicted of murder
00:15:33
though he was free on bail Emery faced
00:15:36
twenty years to life in the State
00:15:38
Penitentiary now it appeared that Adam
00:15:42
and his wife Elena had found a way out
00:15:44
of their impending separation by jumping
00:15:47
to their deaths of the Newport Bridge
00:15:51
the apparent double suicide of Adam and
00:15:54
Elena Emery was stunning news but it
00:15:57
would not be the last chapter in this
00:15:58
extraordinary case far from it soon
00:16:02
authorities had begin to suspect that
00:16:04
the Emery's were in fact alive the
00:16:06
abandoned car just the final flourish
00:16:08
and a well-planned dash for freedom even
00:16:11
as we filmed our story dramatic new
00:16:13
evidence continued to surface this most
00:16:16
unusual of cases was set in motion by a
00:16:19
single chance event great thanks you two
00:16:25
on August 31st 1990 at a memory his wife
00:16:29
Elena and another couple stopped for
00:16:32
dinner at a seafood stand in their
00:16:33
hometown Warwick Rhode Island just
00:16:38
before 9 p.m.
00:16:50
the car sped away and disappeared around
00:16:53
a corner Anna memory turned on his car
00:17:01
and he headed out and he looked off into
00:17:06
the distance and he saw a car way off in
00:17:10
the distance and his wife yelled out
00:17:12
that's the car let's chase them
00:17:17
[Music]
00:17:24
the car fixed san emery's headlice was
00:17:26
driven by a 20 year old named Jason bass
00:17:29
his cousin and a friend were with him
00:17:32
[Music]
00:17:39
you're gonna pay for that
00:17:53
[Applause]
00:18:07
wondering who this person is you know he
00:18:10
got off his car yelling screaming don't
00:18:13
kick your ball I wouldn't kill you um
00:18:15
major fighting words unbelievably this
00:18:18
guy was so mad I mean I've never seen
00:18:20
anybody madder than this
00:18:26
[Music]
00:18:35
while clinging to the car Adam began a
00:18:38
slash at Jason with a knife
00:18:40
[Music]
00:18:45
[Music]
00:18:57
neighbors rushed out to help they would
00:19:00
soon be joined by an off-duty detective
00:19:02
who lived just down the street when I
00:19:07
arrived the the whole air about the
00:19:10
scene was very spooky it had a haze and
00:19:13
there was a warm summer night and it
00:19:15
just had a spooky eerie feeling about
00:19:18
what I was going into and I pulled up
00:19:23
thinking that it was just a motor
00:19:25
vehicle accident it was far more than an
00:19:29
accident
00:19:30
Jason bass stabbed once through the
00:19:32
heart died at the scene I don't
00:19:36
understand why my son got murdered when
00:19:39
he was so good of a child we'd help
00:19:43
anybody
00:19:45
he just went we picked up a friend from
00:19:48
work to take him home and he ended up
00:19:52
dead
00:19:55
the tragedy of Jason's death was
00:19:58
compounded by the facts it soon emerged
00:20:00
he had never so much as touched Adam
00:20:03
Emrys car the Ford LTD that was being
00:20:09
driven by Jason bass was not the vehicle
00:20:13
that hit Adam memories car at the claim
00:20:16
stand
00:20:17
they took paint chips off of Adams car
00:20:21
and they tested those paint chips with
00:20:24
the with the paint of Jason Vasquez car
00:20:28
and proved conclusively that it was a
00:20:32
different vehicle that struck out of
00:20:35
memories Collin that evening
00:20:38
those who knew had a memory were stunned
00:20:41
by the turn of events he had never been
00:20:43
in trouble with the law indeed Emery had
00:20:46
once been a military policeman in the
00:20:48
Rhode Island National Guard now Adam
00:20:51
Emery stood accused of murder in the
00:20:53
second degree his trial began on
00:20:58
November 5th 1993 I had to defend myself
00:21:09
this person was trying to take control
00:21:12
of a situation and I had to take some
00:21:17
action I had to do something adda
00:21:20
memories testimony was very rigid
00:21:24
it seemed rehearsed and I think the
00:21:29
jurors picked up on that he never
00:21:32
expressed any remorse for killing
00:21:35
someone he said that he stabbed Jason
00:21:40
bass in self-defense he had no choice
00:21:42
the trial ended on November 10th
00:21:45
Adam memories 31st birthday guilty of
00:21:52
murder in the second degree right after
00:21:56
he was convicted Alena Emery kind of
00:21:59
muttered to herself it's my fault and
00:22:01
then she got very tense and sort of
00:22:05
clenched her jaw and said I'm going to
00:22:08
kill someone I'm going to kill someone
00:22:11
the courtroom exploded into a time bomb
00:22:17
of emotion you had the best family there
00:22:20
who the person who murdered their son
00:22:22
was convicted you had a very close
00:22:24
family on the Adam side and on Elena's
00:22:27
side who now their son is going to jail
00:22:31
for 20 to life and there was crying and
00:22:35
emotion and anger and there was a great
00:22:39
mix of emotion in that courtroom on that
00:22:41
day just moments after the verdict a
00:22:46
news crew caught this scene inside the
00:22:49
courtroom Elaine was pretty emotional
00:22:53
for I guess because of the verdict Adam
00:22:57
Adam didn't have any emotions at all you
00:23:00
know it was like he didn't care one way
00:23:04
or the other you know in my mind I think
00:23:10
that Adam knew he wasn't going to serve
00:23:12
any time at all
00:23:15
by nightfall Adam and Elena would be
00:23:18
dead or so it's sane until police began
00:23:22
to reconstruct the events leading up to
00:23:24
the apparent double suicide
00:23:26
[Music]
00:23:27
Adam Emery was allowed to remain free on
00:23:30
bail pending formal sentencing one month
00:23:33
later he and Elena left the courthouse
00:23:36
at about 3 p.m.
00:23:39
3:35 the Emrys showed up in a local
00:23:43
sporting goods store Elena was far from
00:23:52
nervous
00:23:52
she'd smiled she was talkative it didn't
00:23:57
seem like there was anything on her mind
00:23:58
or she had anything planned the Emrys
00:24:04
bought sweat suits
00:24:05
athletic socks and 80 pounds of strap-on
00:24:08
exercise weights but curiously the
00:24:10
salesman reported that Adam was
00:24:12
disturbed by the total bill to police
00:24:16
saving money seemed an unlikely concern
00:24:18
for someone about to take his own life
00:24:24
at 4:45 p.m. Adam and Elena pulled up at
00:24:27
the Newport Bridge the previous hour
00:24:30
they had been observed calmly dining at
00:24:32
a fast-food restaurant which also seemed
00:24:35
out of character for a couple bent on
00:24:37
suicide
00:24:40
4:50 p.m. the Emery's were seen outside
00:24:44
their car on the walkway of the bridge
00:24:46
by 5:15 Adam and Elena had driven away
00:24:51
[Music]
00:24:55
apparently the Emery's returned to the
00:24:57
bridge the car was reported as abandoned
00:25:01
653 p.m. the search for the bodies of
00:25:07
Adam and Elena Emery was one of the most
00:25:09
extensive in the history of Rhode Island
00:25:11
sonar equipped boats probe the bottom of
00:25:14
the bay teams of divers searched the
00:25:17
bridge footings and trained dogs scoured
00:25:19
miles of shoreline in the end not a
00:25:22
single scrap of evidence was recovered
00:25:24
from the bay the investigation stalled
00:25:28
until detective Hopkins remember the
00:25:30
courtroom footage and had an
00:25:32
inspirations I obtained that tape and I
00:25:38
took it to a person who was
00:25:41
hearing-impaired one of her means of
00:25:45
communication is to read people's lips
00:25:48
and asked her if she could interpret the
00:25:51
conversation that was being held between
00:25:54
Adam and Elena Murray said you promised
00:26:01
me hours of reviewing and replaying the
00:26:07
tape finally yielded Elena's furtive
00:26:10
words we originally said you promised me
00:26:15
your pop you're positive we're gonna do
00:26:19
what you originally said you promised me
00:26:22
in the end the cryptic exchange left
00:26:25
investigators about where they started
00:26:27
clearly the Emery's had made a plan but
00:26:30
was it a desperate suicide pact or a
00:26:33
bold scheme to run from the law
00:26:35
should have done this before nine months
00:26:43
after the Emery's disappeared a
00:26:44
fisherman working the Narragansett Bay
00:26:47
found two human leg bones snagged in his
00:26:49
net clinging to one was a fragment of
00:26:53
sock identical to those purchased by
00:26:56
Adam and Elena I took the blue gold and
00:27:02
blue bands to a marine biologist in an
00:27:06
attempt to get a timeframe as to how
00:27:08
long the bones were in the water there
00:27:12
was the determination of the marine
00:27:13
biologist that there was no micro
00:27:16
organisms grown within the webbing of
00:27:19
the material which told me as the
00:27:22
investigator that the bones with this
00:27:24
material wrapped around them were not
00:27:26
under the water for the period of nine
00:27:29
months and that because of that they
00:27:31
could not be Adam and Elena Emory in
00:27:35
addition a forensic anthropologist
00:27:36
judged with 85% certainty that the bone
00:27:40
most likely was from a white male no
00:27:42
more than five feet seven inches tall
00:27:44
had a memory was 6 1 but unsub is
00:27:51
arrived in Rhode Island to film this
00:27:53
story in August of 1994 there was
00:27:55
considerable evidence suggesting Adam
00:27:57
and Elena Emery had fled however their
00:28:00
families firmly believe the young couple
00:28:02
had jumped to their deaths by the time
00:28:04
we finished filming the case at once
00:28:07
again taken a totally surprising turn
00:28:12
on August 30th detective Hopkins
00:28:15
responded to an urgent call from the
00:28:16
harbor
00:28:17
there against at bay had yielded up
00:28:20
another grim piece of evidence I'm here
00:28:23
to announce today that the skull that
00:28:26
was recovered August 30th
00:28:28
1994 from the East passage of
00:28:31
Narragansett Bay has been positively
00:28:33
identified as that of Elena
00:28:36
Jericho Emily Elena Emory had at last
00:28:41
been found but to date there has been no
00:28:44
trace of Adam perhaps his bones are deep
00:28:47
in Narragansett Bay or perhaps the day
00:28:50
will come when Adam Emery turns up alive
00:28:52
if so you would almost certainly face
00:28:56
one final question how did it come to
00:28:59
pass that Elena alone jumped to her
00:29:02
death
00:29:03
officially the case remains open
00:29:06
reliable sources say there is reason to
00:29:09
believe Adam Emery never committed
00:29:11
suicide Emery is 6 feet 1 inch tall and
00:29:15
weighs 195 pounds he has black hair and
00:29:19
blue eyes
00:29:20

00:29:23
next a search for a Texas man accused of
00:29:27
murdering his girlfriend
00:29:31
[Music]
00:29:38
Lockhart Texas Monday December 27th 1993
00:29:43
Jack point arrived at his daughter's
00:29:46
house filled with apprehension
00:29:48
Patricia white a 38 year old nurse had
00:29:51
not been seen or heard from in nearly 24
00:29:53
hours everyone was concerned about
00:30:01
electrician because she just hadn't gone
00:30:04
to work Monday and she never never fails
00:30:09
to go to work
00:30:10
our glacé call yeah
00:30:22
[Music]
00:30:25
fresh it's kind of dark in a ramen and I
00:30:30
just call her and then then I went over
00:30:32
and fell good I knew that she was dead
00:30:42
Latricia white had been shot six times
00:30:44
in the head with a 22 caliber weapon her
00:30:47
death stunned her friends and neighbors
00:30:49
and lockhart when the trisha was known
00:30:51
as a dedicated and caring nurse in
00:30:55
addition to the grieving community
00:30:56
patricia left behind two children and a
00:30:59
host of unanswered questions from the
00:31:05
outset investigators were puzzled
00:31:07
despite the violent nature of the crime
00:31:10
there were no signs of a struggle and
00:31:12
nothing in the house had been disturbed
00:31:15
[Music]
00:31:16
just as puzzling as a mysterious
00:31:19
disappears of Latricia Sliven boyfriend
00:31:21
a local trucker Lee Walker Hagen jr.
00:31:24
nicknamed Doug also missing was dubs
00:31:28
nine-year-old son chance who had been
00:31:30
visiting for the Christmas holidays the
00:31:34
fact that her boyfriend uh Walker Hagen
00:31:37
could not be found led us to to several
00:31:40
different areas to investigate number
00:31:42
one is he a suspect
00:31:45
could he have committed this crime the
00:31:48
other one is or is he a victim has he
00:31:51
also been injured three days later an
00:31:56
unexpected discovery
00:31:57
dubs pickup truck was found abandoned in
00:32:00
Austin Texas approximately 30 miles from
00:32:03
the crime scene for it to be there and
00:32:06
be locked up it isn't well known in a
00:32:10
law enforcement community in the Austin
00:32:12
area that this is a high crime area and
00:32:15
for that vehicle to be found there
00:32:16
really surprised me in the cab
00:32:21
investigators found dubs hunting rifle
00:32:23
which had not been fired his checkbook
00:32:25
and his wallet
00:32:27
hid back a toolbox spare tire and
00:32:31
Christmas gifts someone opened but all
00:32:34
streaked with blood initially in the
00:32:39
investigation we felt that this blood
00:32:40
could have come from our victim that was
00:32:42
later ruled out the blood type was not
00:32:45
the same as our victim so we feel like
00:32:48
that someone else was injured not
00:32:51
seriously but someone else was injured
00:32:55
could that someone else had been dumped
00:32:57
or chance the question could not be
00:33:00
answered all of the blood tests were
00:33:02
inconclusive what happened dr. Hagan is
00:33:08
nine-year-old son chance it is a mystery
00:33:11
that has torn two families in a small
00:33:13
Texas town apart double nutritive white
00:33:16
had grown up together yet today the
00:33:18
police'll are Trish's family believe
00:33:20
that dub murdered Lou Trisha in a
00:33:21
jealous rage on the other hand dubs
00:33:24
family and friends are convinced that
00:33:26
dub and chance are also victims that
00:33:28
they met with foul play themselves it's
00:33:31
and then going on 11 months now and we
00:33:35
haven't heard anything from him at all
00:33:38
and that tells me if we haven't heard
00:33:40
from him then he's got to be dead he's
00:33:44
not dead I mean if someone could come in
00:33:47
and killed three of them want to take a
00:33:50
270 pound body out and leave a much like
00:33:56
one I mean this doesn't make any sense I
00:33:58
don't know who did it I just know that
00:34:01
he that he couldn't have couldn't have
00:34:04
done it and then just disappeared off
00:34:07
the face of the earth to the police
00:34:11
however Doug was the obvious suspect
00:34:13
especially after they began to take a
00:34:16
close look at his relationship with
00:34:17
Latricia at the time of the murder dub
00:34:26
in Latricia had been living together for
00:34:28
six months according to Lou Trish's
00:34:31
family dub was extremely jealous and
00:34:33
suspicious forty five minutes
00:34:36
I wish that in the future if you're
00:34:39
gonna be late would you please give me a
00:34:40
call let me know I try to be home on
00:34:42
time Trish and him always thought they
00:34:46
could fight about a fly on the wall it
00:34:49
didn't mean anything I don't know if
00:34:50
they just like to fight and then make up
00:34:52
or whatever but a fight doesn't mean
00:34:56
anything to me I mean as far as them
00:34:58
arguing because I know he's not violent
00:35:00
as far as you know like hitting and
00:35:02
stuff like that I lived with him dubs
00:35:05
ex-wife chances mother this
00:35:08
agrees and I saw that he was a good man
00:35:10
when I met him and when I left him I was
00:35:13
scared to death of him he had a temper
00:35:16
he treated my oldest boy terribly and I
00:35:19
was scared two days before Christmas
00:35:27
three days before the murder a friend
00:35:30
witness one of Dublin matricies more
00:35:32
heated arguments he's only nine years
00:35:35
old what do you expect dub son chance
00:35:39
was apparently the focus of the conflict
00:35:41
why you're making such a damn big deal
00:35:43
out of it anyway excuse me chance it's
00:35:47
not your fault your father raised you to
00:35:49
be a spoiled brat brat he's my son he's
00:35:52
not sure and you have no right you
00:35:54
understand me
00:35:55
well it's my house fine we're out of
00:35:58
here according to the friend dub packed
00:36:04
his bags and threatened to leave however
00:36:13
just three nights later dubbed chance
00:36:15
and matricies were seen enjoying
00:36:17
themselves at a local restaurant the
00:36:20
incident was apparently forgotten but
00:36:26
late the next day
00:36:27
Patricia's father found her shot to
00:36:29
death in her bedroom dub and chance had
00:36:32
disappeared
00:36:36
three days later dub was formally
00:36:38
charged with first-degree murder however
00:36:41
his family believes that the authorities
00:36:43
have made a terrible mistake they went
00:36:46
in that kind of man
00:36:48
make this one wedding in him he'd run up
00:36:51
on a wreck anything else you'd see
00:36:53
bloody good pieces didn't stand bloody
00:36:57
couldn't shoot nobody six times no way I
00:37:01
believe that someone else killed Trish
00:37:05
and the reason they didn't killed up
00:37:08
there on the scene was to make it look
00:37:11
like that dev had done it all this time
00:37:14
they've been looking for dub and dub
00:37:15
only the law has they've never looked
00:37:20
for anybody else so whoever did do it
00:37:22
has gotten away with it so far
00:37:27
under normal circumstances dub was an
00:37:31
easygoing very likable person but if he
00:37:34
was pushed to the point and enraged and
00:37:37
made mad enough and we feel that
00:37:39
probably chance was the trigger chance
00:37:42
was the was the pivot point that this
00:37:45
set him off and he did something in this
00:37:48
it committed this act that had he been
00:37:51
given five minutes to stop and back off
00:37:54
and think about it and he probably would
00:37:56
not have done it for months past but no
00:38:00
sign of dub or chance then at the house
00:38:04
of chances maternal grandfather hello
00:38:11
hello hello all he said was help me and
00:38:16
then the phone was jerked out of his
00:38:18
hand
00:38:19
and slammed down and I looked over at my
00:38:24
wife and I said that was chance could
00:38:28
the plea for help have come from chance
00:38:30
Walker Hagen dubs family is convinced
00:38:33
the answer is known they believe the
00:38:36
phone call was a hoax and the dub and
00:38:38
chance were murdered the Trisha's family
00:38:41
dismisses that scenario they believe
00:38:44
that dub is a killer and still very much
00:38:47
alive
00:38:48
I feel someone in his family is helping
00:38:51
him because I just don't think a person
00:38:54
can just disappear and not get help from
00:38:58
somewhere to make help you survive and
00:39:02
to get where you need to go without
00:39:04
being caught I haven't heard from him
00:39:08
haven't given him any money haven't done
00:39:11
nothing and there's no way that him Deb
00:39:16
and that boy chance can survive without
00:39:20
money they just want to believe that we
00:39:24
know where they are and that we're
00:39:26
helping them because that way they know
00:39:27
that chance and dead were alive but they
00:39:31
can't be alive because we would have
00:39:33
heard lead dub Parker Hagen is 40 years
00:39:38
old 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 240
00:39:42
pounds he has blue eyes and blond hair
00:39:46
investigators believe that he could be
00:39:47
practically anywhere because of his
00:39:49
connections in the trucking industry
00:39:52
Chaz Walker Hagen is 10 years old and
00:39:55
weighs approximately 64 pounds he has
00:39:58
blue eyes blonde hair and a fair
00:40:00
complexion I want to find out what
00:40:04
happened to him I want to know one way
00:40:07
or the other and I want everyone else to
00:40:10
know because none of us none of the
00:40:13
families can have any kind of peace
00:40:15
whatsoever
00:40:16
you know the whites have lost their
00:40:18
daughter and gays lost your son and
00:40:21
we've lost two people and I think that
00:40:25
we all need to know what really happened
00:40:27
to
00:40:28
[Music]
00:40:38

00:40:44
[Music]
00:40:47
next see how your tips led to the
00:40:50
capture of a dangerous fugitive on
00:40:52
[Music]
00:41:02
August 19 1992 20 year old Travis Wade
00:41:06
Duncan staged a brazen daylight raid on
00:41:08
the Seminole County Jail in Oklahoma he
00:41:13
fled the scene with two inmates John
00:41:15
Fisher and Timothy Johnson Duncan
00:41:17
himself had been an inmate at the jail
00:41:19
until just the day before with Duncan
00:41:25
behind the wheel the three fugitives led
00:41:27
authorities on a reckless high-speed
00:41:29
chase through Central Oklahoma a running
00:41:32
gun battle lasted more than an hour
00:41:35
[Music]
00:41:37
every time he didn't mean out and tried
00:41:39
to draw a bead on my unit then I would
00:41:41
go to the left or the driver's side and
00:41:42
pick it get as far over as I could get
00:41:45
out of mine of fire this is something
00:41:49
that you expect to see on the movies but
00:41:52
you don't really expect it to happen to
00:41:54
you by 7:30 p.m. the three fugitives
00:42:00
that Graham paged along a 150 mile
00:42:02
stretch of Interstate 40 speeds of up to
00:42:05
100 miles per hour but nothing slowed
00:42:08
the pursuit not even a homemade bomb
00:42:11
[Music]
00:42:13
that multiple failed to ignite because
00:42:16
hit the road the wind the high-speed
00:42:18
blew the wicked of doom over the chase
00:42:26
finally ended on the shores of Kerr Lake
00:42:28
after a brief firefight Fisher Duncan
00:42:31
and Johnson fled into the woods
00:42:33
unwittingly they had trapped themselves
00:42:36
on a peninsula jutting into the lake
00:42:44
within an hour Fisher and Johnson were
00:42:47
cornered and taken into custody
00:42:49
but Travis Duncan and somehow managed to
00:42:51
elude the dragnet for more than 20
00:42:54
months his whereabouts remained a
00:42:56
mystery
00:43:01
update on May 5th 1994 Travis Wade
00:43:06
Duncan finally came home to Seminole

County Oklahoma five days after he was
00:43:11
arrested in Boise Idaho thanks to a tip
00:43:16
from an alert viewer Duncan's life on
00:43:19
the run is finally okay we believe that
00:43:22
he went from Oklahoma to North or South
00:43:24
Carolina has went into Washington and
00:43:26
Oregon went to Hawaii was in Arizona
00:43:29
prior to being arrested in Boise Idaho
00:43:32
so he had traveled around doing odd jobs
00:43:35
living from one state to another once in
00:43:39
custody
00:43:40
Duncan willingly revealed the details of
00:43:42
his escape from Curley Travis told me
00:43:46
that after the crash he stayed in the
00:43:48
woods traveled through the woods until
00:43:50
he came to the edge of the water on Kerr
00:43:52
Lake
00:43:52
he stayed hid in the bushes till about
00:43:55
an hour after dark and then he swam a
00:43:58
Cove which would be approximately a half
00:44:00
mile wide and then came up and stayed in
00:44:02
the tree line and walked a mountain lion
00:44:05
out and he was able to catch a ride and
00:44:07
go east from that area
00:44:09
I'm delighted that he's behind bars that
00:44:12
kind of ends this story and I'm
00:44:14
completely satisfied with the results
00:44:16
that nobody was injured he was
00:44:18
apprehended and he's facing the years
00:44:20
and Penitentiary that he's looking at
00:44:23
