more than a year update on the night of
00:02:40
our broadcast an alert viewer recognized
00:02:42
Albert Fletcher as one of our neighbors
00:02:45
soon after Fletcher was arrested at a
00:02:47
trailer park in Delaware where he was
00:02:49
living since his escape I have to
00:02:52
receive a telephone call from the
00:02:54
authorities in Delaware
00:02:56
Visine me than they knew their
00:02:59
whereabouts of Albert Lyon Fletcher I
00:03:01
sent a bulletin to Delaware and this was
00:03:04
around three o'clock that afternoon and
00:03:06
about 3:30 or 4 o'clock they had a macro
00:03:09
handed Albert Leon Fletcher was returned
00:03:13
to Florida where he was convicted of
00:03:15
first degree murder he will spend the
00:03:18
rest of his life behind bars
00:03:20
Douglas Porter he served his time and
00:03:23
has been released
00:03:29
bend organ it was a typical day at
00:03:34
Klamath First Federal Bank nothing
00:03:37
unusual until now
00:03:49
he took control and he he's scared us he
00:03:53
intimidated us he doesn't push a button
00:04:03
because the other ones gonna kill there
00:04:05
was no in anybody's mind of trying to
00:04:09
set an alarm off so he made us all go in
00:04:14
to the ball and then he had me fill the
00:04:18
bags after I was done doing that he told
00:04:22
me to go over and get on my knees and he
00:04:24
tied me up I was scared I was terrified
00:04:27
at that point because I thought he's
00:04:29
gonna shoot us all coming out are we
00:04:32
clear four years twelve banks over a
00:04:36
half a million dollars that's the track
00:04:39
record of to outlaw lovers named Craig
00:04:42
Pritchard and OVA Guthrie there's no
00:04:45
wonder why some see them as today's
00:04:48
Bonnie and Clyde Craig Pritchard once
00:04:51
seemed destined for athletic stardom but
00:04:54
when his baseball career fizzled
00:04:56
Pritchard headed for the bright lights
00:04:58
of Las Vegas there he found a new
00:05:02
passion robbing banks no one knows
00:05:07
exactly how many robberies Pritchard
00:05:09
committed before his luck ran out
00:05:12
after a bank teller identified him in
00:05:15
the lineup he was sentenced to five
00:05:17
years in an Arizona penitentiary but
00:05:20
rather than learning from his mistakes
00:05:22
Pritchard spent his time behind bars
00:05:24
correcting them five years is a long
00:05:28
time to spend in prison and he met other
00:05:30
people that had robbed banks and from
00:05:33
past experience of cases I've worked
00:05:35
they exchanged thoughts ideas he
00:05:38
actually learned how to commit bank
00:05:40
robberies in a better way than he had
00:05:42
previously after his release Pritchard
00:05:45
wound up in New Mexico and that's where
00:05:48
he met 24 year-old no-load Guthrie
00:05:52
they'd have dinner and they hit it off
00:05:55
sparks were flying they were very
00:05:58
mutually attracted to each other I'll
00:06:00
take you out I think I could stay a
00:06:02
couple of more days and within a week or
00:06:05
so Craig had moved in with Nova after
00:06:11
meeting they went on a bank robbery
00:06:13
spree and that included the states of
00:06:15
Colorado Arizona New Mexico Washington
00:06:18
Oregon across the south and northwest
00:06:20
let's go come on
00:06:22
Prichard would enter the bank wearing a
00:06:24
disguise he was always armed with an
00:06:26
assault weapon he had a police scanner
00:06:28
so he could monitor any of the waste in
00:06:31
the area Nova always stayed outside the
00:06:35
bank alerting Craig to any dangers via
00:06:37
radio after each robbery they drove to a
00:06:41
predetermined location abandoned their
00:06:43
getaway car and fled in a second vehicle
00:06:46
their stash car the kind of natural-born
00:06:49
rule breakers they love a challenge
00:06:51
and what's more thrilling than robbing a
00:06:54
bank in broad daylight and my guess is
00:06:57
that after these
00:06:59
you know it's in Tibet it's a thrill
00:07:02
it's exciting they just want to keep the
00:07:04
thrill going in between the robberies
00:07:07
there were sightings of them really
00:07:09
leading a very lavish lifestyle they
00:07:13
liked frequent nice places the ski
00:07:15
resorts ocean resort areas they look
00:07:20
like a very nice normal couple there is
00:07:22
nothing that's going to stand out that
00:07:24
is going to make them different from
00:07:26
others two years into their crime spree
00:07:29
Craig Innova took a big risk by visiting
00:07:32
Nova's family in Phoenix now at the time
00:07:35
only Craig was a wanted fugitive the FBI
00:07:37
had no evidence linking Nova to the
00:07:40
robberies but Nova's family knew the
00:07:44
truth they'd blame Craig for enticing
00:07:46
Nova into a life of crime
00:07:48
hey Craig beer yeah I just want to talk
00:07:52
to you outside for a minute
00:07:55
Novus brother confine it Craig what's
00:07:59
going on you're leaving right now you're
00:08:02
gonna get in your fancy little car you
00:08:04
didn't like what he had done what he had
00:08:07
gotten over involved with go and he
00:08:11
didn't want her to be any part of no
00:08:13
force lie
00:08:20
nobody's gone without Craig he's gone
00:08:23
Nova didn't know what to do next Nova
00:08:27
was confused and embarrassed she went
00:08:29
along with her sister to meet secretly
00:08:31
with a police chaplain William Fay so
00:08:34
what is it you want to tell me
00:08:36
I think deep in her heart she wanted to
00:08:37
be forgiven but didn't know how to go
00:08:38
about it at that point I took my Bible
00:08:42
and I began to share Scripture with her
00:08:44
I said what do you think it is now that
00:08:46
God would have you do Nova said turn
00:08:50
myself in I said let's go Nova provided
00:08:54
information regarding her involvement in
00:08:56
the bank robberies and just the manner
00:08:58
in which they were committed we didn't
00:09:01
arrest Nova at that point in time
00:09:03
because we had not done any
00:09:05
investigation to corroborate her story
00:09:07
and we had insufficient probable cause
00:09:10
to have the United States Attorney's
00:09:12
Office authorize on an arrest warrant
00:09:14
once they flipped Nova the FBI was
00:09:17
confident that they could track down
00:09:19
Pritchard Nova however was having second
00:09:22
thoughts not long after she agreed to
00:09:25
cooperate Nova Guthrie abruptly
00:09:28
disappeared back into a life of crime
00:09:30
with Craig Pritchard when she first went
00:09:33
look Craig she didn't quite realize what
00:09:35
a big decision she had made she had
00:09:37
second thoughts about it stepped back
00:09:39
from the brink
00:09:40
and then realized it's boring back here
00:09:44
I'm going back to the brink and that's
00:09:46
what she did just because they haven't
00:09:50
used their weapons doesn't mean that
00:09:52
people aren't getting hurt you take a
00:09:54
look at the victims and the victim
00:09:55
tellers specifically it's very traumatic
00:09:58
for them
00:09:59
you know I'd like to tie him up and
00:10:01
stick a gun in his face I'd like to have
00:10:03
him feel that same helpless feeling
00:10:08
being terrified for your life thinking
00:10:11
that you're gonna die update
00:10:18
Cape Town South Africa Nova Guthrie and

Phoenix Guthrie managed a nightclub and
00:10:30
Pritchard bought and sold stocks over
00:10:32
the Internet then a South African
00:10:35

00:10:40
and contacted authorities after being
00:10:43

00:11:16
Paris France
00:11:17
sometimes the incredible occurs when you
00:11:21
least expect it
00:11:22
just ask Howard storm a professor and an
00:11:26
accomplished artist near the end of a
00:11:28
three-week European tour Howard and his
00:11:31
wife Beverly were in Paris when disaster
00:11:34
struck I thought I'd been shot that was
00:11:47
the most serious scruciating pain in the
00:11:49
centre of my abdomen
00:11:51
I was just panic full of fear I couldn't
00:11:55
think at all
00:11:56
the doctor that came to the hotel and
00:11:59
the two doctors that examined me in the
00:12:01
emergency room at the hospital all said
00:12:04
the same thing that this was a very
00:12:06
critical situation and that if I didn't
00:12:08
have the surgery within an hour I would
00:12:11
die Howard small intestine had ruptured
00:12:15
he was transferred to another hospital
00:12:17
where the staff spoke only French now
00:12:22
there were problems finding a surgeon
00:12:25
they didn't give me any medication
00:12:27
whatsoever no treatment whatsoever and I
00:12:31
was beginning to fear that I wasn't
00:12:33
going to make it after a few hours after
00:12:35
six or seven hours I had a very strong
00:12:39
feeling that I wasn't going to make it
00:12:41
and after ten hours I knew I wasn't
00:12:44
gonna make it
00:12:46
Howard says that as he lost
00:12:48
consciousness he fell into a bizarre
00:12:51
altered reality one that would change
00:12:54
him forever Howard storm had what is
00:12:58
called the near-death experience most of
00:13:01
the time these episodes are described as
00:13:03
a glimpse into heaven but for Howard
00:13:06
storm it was very different his
00:13:08
near-death experience took him straight
00:13:10
to the depths of hell by his own
00:13:15
admission Howard storm was a man with a
00:13:17
dark side he commanded everyone around
00:13:21
him with angry passion my wife and my
00:13:24
children feared me sometimes I was fun
00:13:28
sometimes that's good but I also used a
00:13:30
lot of threats I used a lot of rage
00:13:33
I used a lot of coercion to get my way
00:13:35
that was that was the bottom line all
00:13:38
the time was to get my way my will to
00:13:40
prevail as he slipped closer to death in
00:13:45
that Paris hospital room Howard says
00:13:48
that he took the first step on a
00:13:50
terrifying journey
00:13:58
I looked at the bed and I saw myself
00:14:01
lying in the bed and it's horrified me
00:14:03
because I knew that that's not possible
00:14:05
because I didn't believe in life after
00:14:08
death I didn't believe in God I didn't
00:14:09
believe in him or hell and I mean I
00:14:11
really didn't believe me I heard people
00:14:17
calling me from outside the room and
00:14:19
they were saying Howard Howard hurry up
00:14:21
you've got to come with us it's time now
00:14:25
it's time come with me I assume that
00:14:30
they must be hospital personnel come to
00:14:33
take me to have my surgery where's my
00:14:35
doctor and they didn't deny that
00:14:37
although they didn't confirm it either
00:14:39
as I walked with these people I became
00:14:43
increasingly aware that something was
00:14:45
very wrong nobody wants to help me these
00:14:48
people were getting more and more
00:14:49
aggressive and cruel to me all I wanted
00:14:56
to do now was to get away from them
00:14:59
it's getting darker and darker they kept
00:15:04
leading me on standing in a circle
00:15:06
around me there was really no way to
00:15:07
escape from
00:15:09
when they were scratching and pushing
00:15:13
and pulling at me and began biting at me
00:15:16
so I was starting to yell and scream and
00:15:19
howl with pain and I thought that was
00:15:22
real funny and they really liked that a
00:15:23
lot and that more that they did the
00:15:26
better they liked it
00:15:32
in that place I heard a voice which
00:15:35
sounded like my voice say pray to God
00:15:37
and I didn't believe in God said a
00:15:40
second time pray to God and I tried to
00:15:42
remember how to pray
00:15:44
[Applause]
00:15:47
the mention of God pushed them away from
00:15:49
me push them back and back into the
00:15:52
darkness so I just kept at it and kept
00:15:55
at it this is if it burned them they
00:15:58
simply retreated into the darkness and
00:16:01
were gone and I was all along that place
00:16:05
left in my physical pain my emotional
00:16:08
pain self-pity and in considering my
00:16:13
whole life was sort of like what was the
00:16:14
point of ever living to end up like this
00:16:16
I'd never really accomplished anything
00:16:18
very significant now I end up in this
00:16:20
place of torment why was I ever born
00:16:25
and in that complete despair and pain
00:16:28
and hopelessness a small light appeared
00:16:31
and got brighter and brighter and
00:16:33
brighter and I felt this brightness
00:16:36
reached down and picked me up and I was
00:16:40
all healed whole and full of most
00:16:42
wonderful physical ecstasy he called a
00:16:47
number of angels around us and they
00:16:49
showed me the effects that I had on
00:16:51
other people how I'd hurt other people
00:16:54
and I think to myself I'm scum I don't
00:16:58
belong here they've made a mistake and
00:17:00
then for the first time he spoke to me
00:17:03
and said we don't make mistakes you do
00:17:06
belong here the mysterious figure then
00:17:11
instructed Howard to return to Earth and
00:17:13
to live with love in his heart
00:17:19
soon after Howard regained consciousness
00:17:22
a surgeon arrived the operation saved
00:17:25
Howard's life he would eventually make a
00:17:28
full recovery and he would also undergo
00:17:31
a dramatic transformation lift up your
00:17:35
hearts
00:17:37
but us Friday Howard is an ordained
00:17:40
minister and active in missionary work
00:17:42
he is determined to make the most of his
00:17:45
second chance at life there's no doubt
00:17:48
in my mind that I went to hell I know
00:17:51
what I experienced and I know it wasn't
00:17:54
a dream and I know that there is a
00:17:56
conscious existence beyond this world if
00:17:59
you want to call another dimension or
00:18:00
you want to call it the supernatural
00:18:02
world or you want to call it heaven and
00:18:03
hell there is a life beyond this life
00:18:05
and we will reap the reward or suffer
00:18:09
the consequence of what we've done and
00:18:11
with this life next three million
00:18:17
dollars in a private jet the perfect
00:18:20
setup for the perfect crime
00:18:28
it was a masterful plan that baffled the
00:18:31
police and the FBI and involved a
00:18:34
beautiful young woman a convicted killer
00:18:37
and three million dollars in Las Vegas
00:18:48
Nevada the city were gamblers risk it
00:18:54
all for a chance at a big score 21
00:18:59
year-old Heather Tallchief seemed like
00:19:01
any of a young woman trying to make a
00:19:03
start but Heather had a much bigger plan
00:19:06
she was gonna get rich and quick on
00:19:10
Friday October 1st Heather was working
00:19:13
as a driver for the Loomis armored car
00:19:20
she and her two co-workers were
00:19:23
responsible for filling the ATMs of
00:19:26
several local casinos with cash the van
00:19:32
was loaded with over three million
00:19:34
dollars in preparation for a busy
00:19:37
weekend Heather would drive to the back
00:19:40
portion of the casino and drop us off
00:19:44
the final ATM was near the casinos side
00:19:47
entrance now standard procedure called
00:19:50
for Heather to meet the other guards
00:19:51
there and to pick them up when my
00:19:54
partner and I exited the casino we did
00:19:57
not see that the van anyway
00:20:00
we assumed that maybe she got lost that
00:20:03
she was stuck in traffic we didn't know
00:20:05
so I in joking suggested that she might
00:20:09
have taken the vehicle but later a check
00:20:12
of this surveillance camera showed
00:20:14
Heather was simply drove away from the
00:20:16
casino and never returned and that she
00:20:19
and the money disappeared
00:20:21
Heather Tallchief applied for the job
00:20:25
with the armored car company
00:20:26
approximately two months before the
00:20:28
robbery and the investigation has led us
00:20:31
to believe that this entire event from
00:20:34
the moment of applying for the job to
00:20:36
the robbery was all planned in advance
00:20:38
for the sole purpose of committing this
00:20:40
crime
00:20:41
Heather Tallchief had once worked as a
00:20:43
volunteer nurse and she had no criminal
00:20:45
record so why would she commit such an
00:20:48
audacious crime as police combed through
00:20:51
her apartment answers began to surface
00:20:54
two distinct sets of fingerprints were
00:20:57
found Heather had not acted alone the
00:21:01
prints were identified as those of a
00:21:03
convicted murderer referred those
00:21:05
soulless SOLAS had a record he had shot
00:21:09
and killed an armored car guard during
00:21:11
an unsuccessful robbery Tallchief and
00:21:15
solace met in San Francisco where they
00:21:17
began a relationship and subsequently
00:21:19
planned this crime where 48 year-old
00:21:24
solace and 21 year-old Heather
00:21:26
masterminds of one of the biggest
00:21:28
armored car robberies in history or was
00:21:31
soulless manipulating the young and
00:21:34
impressionable claw chief to finally
00:21:36
make his big score however was planned
00:21:39
the crime and their getaway went off
00:21:42
without a hitch
00:21:45
two hours after Heather and the armored
00:21:48
car disappeared from the casino an
00:21:50
unusual couple arrived at a small local
00:21:53
airport they had chartered the private
00:21:55
jet
00:21:56
to Denver Colorado SOLAS look like an
00:21:59
older gentleman a doctor at all chief
00:22:02
like a sickly invalid older lady there's
00:22:06
only three small suitcases were taken if
00:22:09
he had a million dollars at three
00:22:10
million dollars it would take
00:22:11
approximately eight to ten suitcases to
00:22:14
transport that much money we surmise
00:22:19
that they must have shipped the money on
00:22:21
ahead three days later the FBI traced
00:22:26
Heather and solist to Denver but by then
00:22:30
it was too late Denver had only been a
00:22:33
stopover Clues seem to lead in all
00:22:36
directions Florida the Caribbean Central
00:22:39
and South America it seemed the couple
00:22:41
had covered their tracks well and the
00:22:43
FBI had no solid leads
00:22:47
two weeks later investigators discovered
00:22:50
the armored van in a commercial building
00:22:52
SOLAS had run it for a phony business
00:22:55
inside the building were packing
00:22:57
materials they confirmed the FBI
00:23:00
suspicions that the money had been
00:23:02
shipped to some unknown destination he
00:23:06
told everybody he's starting a new
00:23:07
business solace opened this business
00:23:09
under the guise of retrofitting vehicles
00:23:12
to be used as armored car vehicles in
00:23:15
that manner didn't draw any attention to
00:23:17
the other people in the area when a real
00:23:20
armored vehicle was brought into the
00:23:22
facility the FBI had nowhere to turn
00:23:26
at Tallchief and soleus actually
00:23:28
committed the perfect crime i think that
00:23:31
it was well thought out well conceived
00:23:33
and well executed but crime doesn't pay
00:23:37
and i don't think it's a perfect crime i
00:23:38
think that will still get them the trail
00:23:43
went cold
00:23:44
law enforcement can find no trace of
00:23:46
heather Tallchief or roberto SOLAS that
00:23:50
is until 12 years later when heather
00:23:53
appeared at the Las Vegas courthouse and
00:23:55
turned herself in
00:24:00
hether claimed that she had been
00:24:02
brainwashed by soulless and only
00:24:04
committed the crime because she feared
00:24:07
for her life she left solace when she
00:24:10
learned that she was pregnant with his
00:24:12
children
00:24:12
I believe he manipulated and influenced
00:24:17
my mind for his own dreams she said she
00:24:22
turned herself in to give her
00:24:23
ten-year-old son a chance at a normal
00:24:26
life I'm doing this for him that can
00:24:29
give him a better life one that he
00:24:33
deserves after 12 years in hiding
00:24:36
Heather was sentenced to 63 months in
00:24:39
prison when the judge read her verdict
00:24:41
she told reporters that at last she felt
00:24:44
free you get tired you get very tired of
00:24:47
running if you're living in a prison
00:24:50

this stretch of highway separates

Tijuana from the states
00:25:45
dozens of people die here every year
00:25:48
most while trying to enter the US

00:25:52
[Music]
00:26:01
on the night of May 5th the scene facing
00:26:05
local rescue crews was all too familiar
00:26:07
the pedestrian was barely alive he
00:26:10
carried no ID and was classified as
00:26:12
descon Osito or unknown he died six days
00:26:18
after the accident without regaining
00:26:20
consciousness another 15 days would pass
00:26:23
before he was identified as 22 year old
00:26:26
Patrick Kelly the film student at the
00:26:28
University of Southern California during
00:26:33
Patrick's absence his mother launched a
00:26:36
desperate search to find it
00:26:37
Terry Kelly's investigation uncovered
00:26:40
compelling evidence that her son's death
00:26:42
was much more than just a random traffic
00:26:45
accident Patrick Kelly always had a
00:26:51
passion for writing and storytelling by
00:26:54
the time he went to college Patrick knew
00:26:56
what he wanted to do he wanted to make
00:26:58
movies on a Friday night near the end of
00:27:05
his junior year Patrick was celebrating
00:27:07
with a close friend Michael Park after
00:27:10
months of intense effort Patrick had
00:27:11
just turned in his year-end project a
00:27:13
full-length motion picture script he was
00:27:18
really upbeat it was just really anxious
00:27:20
to get on with his senior year and then
00:27:22
you know hopefully got in Hollywood and
00:27:24
watched the video for about 45 minutes
00:27:26
about 3:45 I remember the time because I
00:27:30
had to get up pretty early the next
00:27:31
morning and it was the last song
00:27:37
one of the things we agreed on when he
00:27:40
first went away to school was that we
00:27:42
would always call each other on Sunday
00:27:44
evening in three years you've never
00:27:46
missed the call he didn't call that
00:27:48
Sunday night and I called him and tried
00:27:52
all the evening to get hold of him
00:27:53
so I knew right away that we had a
00:27:55
problem Terry asked Michael Park to go
00:27:58
to Patrick's room it seemed as if
00:28:00
Patrick had just stepped out for a
00:28:02
moment his wallet was on the desk his
00:28:04
bags and his clothes were in the closet
00:28:06
and yet his passport was nowhere to be
00:28:09
found
00:28:10
only the answering machine offered a
00:28:12
possible clue hello Patrick this is
00:28:16
Julia with founder's National Bank
00:28:18
please give us a call thank you
00:28:20
Terry Kelly immediately phoned the bank
00:28:24
there had been several ATM transactions
00:28:27
over that weekend in Mexico that over
00:28:29
drew his account so that was the first
00:28:31
clue we had as to what direction he had
00:28:34
been headed and that direction was due
00:28:37
south at 10:24 Saturday morning Patrick
00:28:41
made a $60 withdrawal at a 7-eleven in
00:28:44
San Clemente 63 miles from Los Angeles
00:28:48
at 6:08 p.m. another 135 dollars was
00:28:53
withdrawn and an ATM in the Tijuana
00:28:56
tourist area
00:28:57
the next day three more withdrawals at
00:29:00
ATMs in downtown Tijuana bled Patrick's
00:29:03
account dried Terry Kelly hired private
00:29:07
detective Doug Roth to find Patrick Ross
00:29:11
began at the 7-eleven in San Clemente
00:29:15
the surveillance tape from Saturday
00:29:17
morning showed Patrick entering the
00:29:19
store these are the last known pictures
00:29:22
of Patrick before his death he acted
00:29:25
normally there was no indication of
00:29:27
trouble
00:29:29
Roth continued south to Mexico at the
00:29:33
border he decided to check the parking
00:29:35
lots where many tourists leave their
00:29:37
cars before entering Tijuana Roth had
00:29:40
pay dirt right away
00:29:46
thank you for assistance ASA Patrick's
00:29:49
car was parked along the back fence it
00:29:53
was caked with mud there was damage to
00:29:55
the right front bumper and the rear
00:29:57
license plate was loose worse it looked
00:30:00
a Doug
00:30:01
like someone other than Patrick at last
00:30:03
driven the car the driver's seat was
00:30:06
much closer to the steering wheel than
00:30:08
would be consistent with someone who was
00:30:10
6 foot 1 inches tall the radio was
00:30:13
turned to a Spanish American radio
00:30:16
station which was as we understand it
00:30:18
inconsistent with Patrick's listening
00:30:20
habits but we also had found a partially
00:30:24
smoked cigarette in the ashtray of the
00:30:26
car Patrick was not a smoker and as we
00:30:29
understand it did not allow smoking in
00:30:31
his car the leads uncovered at the
00:30:37
parking lot led Ross to the Tijuana
00:30:38
morgue and the body of the unidentified
00:30:42
pedestrian
00:30:43
[Music]
00:30:44
terry kelly rushed to mexico fearing the
00:30:48
worst very tough thing they don't they
00:30:53
don't let you in the same room with them
00:30:54
you have to do them through class and
00:30:57
you know a considerable a distance for
00:30:59
those circumstances but you know I knew
00:31:06
it with him but how exactly did Patrick
00:31:10
Kelly die here's what he at
00:31:14
approximately 1:00 a.m. on May 5th a
00:31:17
motorcyclist was heading east along the
00:31:19
Avenida Internacional two pedestrians
00:31:22
suddenly darted out in front
00:31:25
[Applause]
00:31:30
[Music]
00:31:37
daddy's gonna smile though you'll see
00:31:39
you know Patrick never had a chance to
00:31:42
tell anyone what happened he was
00:31:43
unconscious when paramedics arrived
00:31:46
Mexican authorities would later
00:31:48
attribute all of Patrick's injuries to
00:31:50
the accident Doug Roth didn't see it
00:31:54
that way my initial reaction upon
00:31:57
viewing the body was that he had been
00:31:59
beaten severely this is based
00:32:02
principally on my observation of wounds
00:32:04
about the face and upper body chest area
00:32:07
an independent autopsy commissioned by
00:32:10
Terry Kelly seemed to agree the report
00:32:13
concluded quote findings do not support
00:32:16
an interpretation that death was due to
00:32:19
a motor vehicle accident the hours after
00:32:22
the accident were also marked by
00:32:24
irregularities while Patrick lay dying
00:32:27
in the hospital someone used his ATM
00:32:29
card in downtown Tijuana making that one
00:32:34
but three cash withdrawals the evidence
00:32:39
clearly indicates that transactions had
00:32:42
occurred after he was a comatose in
00:32:44
Mexico with his ATM card that that ATM
00:32:48
card had been used with a PIN number
00:32:51
which he would not have reasonably given
00:32:53
up or had any need to have written down
00:32:54
anywhere
00:32:57
the evidence of foul play was mounting
00:32:59
the autopsy the ATM withdrawals and
00:33:02
finally Patrick's card according to the
00:33:06
parking lot records someone paid the $60
00:33:08
fee and drove the car off the lot
00:33:11
four days after Patrick died the next
00:33:15
day
00:33:16
the car was returned to the same parking
00:33:19
space I believe Patrick went to Mexico
00:33:23
with another individual
00:33:27
and I believe that by five o'clock in
00:33:29
the afternoon they had met with some
00:33:31
unsavory characters and had probably
00:33:34
been taken against their will
00:33:36
hostage had been beaten that their pin
00:33:40
number had been gained and likely while
00:33:43
they were held nearby that place where
00:33:45
the accident occurred they made a break
00:33:47
for it
00:33:48
one of them was struck one of them was
00:33:54
not one of them made it away was Patrick
00:33:57
Kelly with a friend when he was run down
00:33:59

00:34:04

00:34:06

next he may not have a badge but this

bloodhound is as dedicated as any police
00:34:22
officer on the street
00:34:34
then for Colorado
00:34:36
looking for a little girl sir it was a
00:34:39
race against time
00:34:40
police in Englewood Colorado at Denver
00:34:42
suburb search door-to-door for five
00:34:45
year-old Allie
00:34:46
barelli's Allie was last seen playing in
00:34:50
the courtyard of the apartment complex
00:34:52
where she lived her babysitter went
00:34:55
inside for just a few minutes but by the
00:34:57
time she came back Allie was gone the
00:35:00
search dragged on for four days without
00:35:02
a single clue and then finally the
00:35:06
police turned to an age-old
00:35:07
crime-fighting tool meet yogi the
00:35:11
Bloodhound when it comes to tracking
00:35:14
missing persons or criminals he's one of
00:35:16
the best and as you're about to see
00:35:18
nothing beats the remarkable nose of a
00:35:21
bloodhound I had never been exposed to
00:35:26
the bloodhounds and the work that they
00:35:28
do and it was it was certainly something
00:35:32
anything we could try to do to find this
00:35:34
little girl with News cameras rolling
00:35:37
the Bloodhound and his handler k-9
00:35:39
officer Jerry Nicol went to work the dog
00:35:43
took Allie sent from clothing she had
00:35:45
recently worn and then started moving
00:35:52
first he went up the stairs zeroing in
00:35:55
on a single apartment it was a Lee's
00:35:57
home and it was a good sign Yogi was on
00:36:01
the right track I was watching the dog
00:36:04
work I wanted to have hope that this
00:36:06
bloodhound would be able to find our
00:36:08
granddaughter there was a sort of
00:36:11
comfort that I felt because I felt now
00:36:13
they're gonna find her yogi led Jerry
00:36:18
out of the apartment complex in South
00:36:20
down the street the meteor crush
00:36:23
followed close behind recording every
00:36:25
move the dog
00:36:27
paid no attention at all he didn't care
00:36:31
he was oblivious to everything other
00:36:34
than what he was doing because he's
00:36:35
happy doing it well the Bloodhound is by
00:36:39
instinct a tracker by nature it's
00:36:42
something they they're bred to do and
00:36:43
they live to do their sense of smell is
00:36:45
just incredible the loose getting around
00:36:48
the face it just acts as a place for the
00:36:49
scent to be attracted to the skin folds
00:36:51
the slobbering is the moisture that the
00:36:54
talk is a meeting will actually help
00:36:56
enhance that syn around his face and
00:36:58
those long dangling floppy ears it kind
00:37:00
of stirs it up in front of him a central
00:37:03
whether animal or human comes from
00:37:06
thousands of dead skin cells that are
00:37:08
constantly being shed unless those cells
00:37:11
are swept away by severe weather the
00:37:14
scent can remain clear for up to a month
00:37:17
when a dog is introduced a specific
00:37:20
scent of track he basically focuses on
00:37:23
that scent and forgets and ignores the
00:37:26
rest as the hound followed Ally's scent
00:37:29
Jerry quickly recognized that his canine
00:37:31
partner was working a familiar pattern
00:37:34
if a person is walking on foot the
00:37:37
scents a little bit stronger and they're
00:37:38
gonna stay by the sidewalk but he is
00:37:40
working wide between the street and
00:37:42
between the Front's of businesses and
00:37:44
he's still picking it up on the fringes
00:37:46
and seeing him do that before just in my
00:37:49
mind he was working a car
00:37:54
unbelievable as it seems we leave scent
00:37:56
trails even from moving cars the skin
00:37:59
cells shoot out through the car's
00:38:01
ventilation and exhaust systems and then
00:38:03
they're deposited on the side of the
00:38:05
road this is an easy pickup for the nose
00:38:09
of a blood we've even done scenarios in
00:38:13
training where we'll put a person in a
00:38:14
trunk that's sealed up and they still
00:38:16
can pick it up his world is his notes
00:38:20
yogi was relentless he tracked south for
00:38:24
several miles covering almost 40 city
00:38:26
blocks at the entrance to a freeway he
00:38:30
headed straight up the westbound ramp I
00:38:33
was very skeptical that that dog was
00:38:35
doing anything other than going for a
00:38:37
walk but when he took that first ramp to
00:38:40
I 470 and did so was so much confidence
00:38:44
and I started to wonder you know maybe
00:38:47
the dog is really onto something here
00:38:51
the search party drove west to the next
00:38:54
exit with the scent trail lead the dog
00:38:57
further down the freeway or up the exit
00:39:00
ramp leave it where is he come up I'm
00:39:03
sure enough he kept on working and he
00:39:05
went past it so then we'd load him up go
00:39:07
to the next exit and we did the same
00:39:08
thing several times to speed up the
00:39:12
search police skip the fourth exit and
00:39:14
moved on to the fifth
00:39:15
yogi made it quite clear they overshot
00:39:18
the mark the scent was gone it doesn't
00:39:22
have it here we're gonna have to get
00:39:24
back on the other side we've had
00:39:26
everything going
00:39:27
is bound up to here now it's not here
00:39:30
they backtracked to the previous exit
00:39:32
the hound again picked up the scent but
00:39:36
this time he led the search party off
00:39:38
the freeway toward a wooded area called
00:39:41
Deer Creek Canyon the canyon is located
00:39:46
here southwest of the apartment complex
00:39:49
where Ali disappeared by now yogi had
00:39:53
been tracking Ali all over city streets
00:39:55
parking lots and freeways for more than
00:39:58
seven hours he had covered nearly 14
00:40:02
miles he was slowing down a little bit
00:40:09
the tongue was really dragging and he's
00:40:11
really slobbering and I could tell he
00:40:14
was getting hot a hound has a drive
00:40:17
unfortunately they will run themselves
00:40:19
to death if they get tired they don't
00:40:22
care they don't stop the dogs strength
00:40:27
was failing still he wouldn't abandon
00:40:30
the search reluctantly Jerry made the
00:40:35
decision for him he basically kept
00:40:40
looking at me as to why are we stopping
00:40:44
I'm not ready to stop I want to keep
00:40:46
going this is my track I want to get
00:40:49
there with yogi sidelined human
00:40:56
volunteers picked up the search it
00:40:59
wasn't long before they knew why yogi
00:41:01
had refused to quit Ali's body was found
00:41:05
less than two miles from the point where
00:41:07
the dog had been forced to stop without
00:41:14
Yogi's persistence Ali's body would
00:41:16
never have been discovered I think at
00:41:20
first that didn't sink in because I was
00:41:21
pretty upset of fact that Ali was found
00:41:23
dead to end up where he did it just yeah
00:41:29
I was totally amazed these dogs have a
00:41:31
purpose in law enforcement I mean we're
00:41:34
here out here looking for the
00:41:36
communities and the citizens can they
00:41:38
really have done some amazing things for
00:41:40
us

00:41:46
