00:02:04
in 1980 20 year-old Cindy Anderson was
00:02:08
plagued by a series of vivid dream
00:02:14
[Music]
00:02:16
in one episode Cindy recognized the man
00:02:19
at the door and let him in then in the
00:02:22
nightmare where trust was betrayed
00:02:28
Cindy became increasingly tormented by
00:02:31
these bizarre dreams
00:02:34
[Music]
00:02:42
one morning while I was getting ready
00:02:45
for work I overheard Cindy talking to my
00:02:48
mother
00:02:48
what's wrong mom had a dream last night
00:02:51
well tell me about it there is this man
00:02:54
and I kept trying to get away and he
00:02:56
kept chasing me and coming after me
00:02:58
Cindy it was only a dream no mom but he
00:03:00
murdered me I do believe that the dreams
00:03:03
could have been a premonition of fears
00:03:06
that Cindy actually had in her
00:03:08
subconscious at the time the nightmares
00:03:13
lasted for a year then on August 4th
00:03:16
1981 Cindy Anderson went to work as
00:03:18
usual
00:03:20
she was employed as a legal secretary
00:03:22
then the mornings usually land the
00:03:24
office alone she kept the door locked at
00:03:27
all times
00:03:28
a buzzer had even been installed at her
00:03:32
desk so that if trouble did arise she
00:03:34
could alert the shop next door at noon
00:03:39
Jim rabbit and Jay Feldstein two of the
00:03:41
lawyers arrived back at their office
00:03:45
J and I came back from downtown
00:03:48
door and the lights were on the door was
00:03:52
lie
00:03:54
we unlocked the door went inside yelled
00:03:57
for Cindy and there's no answer
00:04:00
hey Cindy I started looking around out
00:04:03
front
00:04:05
Cindy when she would leave would place
00:04:07
the phones on hold and that wasn't done
00:04:09
either
00:04:09
[Music]
00:04:13
hey Jeff gadget come Baker take a look
00:04:16
at this
00:04:16
[Music]
00:04:22
take a look for Sam
00:04:25
but that page was turned to no decimals
00:04:28
discovered as Cindy had left her romance
00:04:30
novel open a tree can read violet seed
00:04:32
in the entire book where the heroine is
00:04:35
a duck footage lifeboat perhaps we
00:04:38
should call somebody
00:04:39
it wasn't until really looking at the
00:04:42
book particularly reading the passage in
00:04:44
the novel I just had a sickening feeling
00:04:47
that something was wrong
00:04:50
Cindy was never heard from her scene
00:04:52
again there was no body no farewell
00:04:55
letter no hint where she had gone or
00:04:57
Hawaii where Cindy's dreams premonitions
00:05:00
of a terrible fate or were they just
00:05:02
coincidences for eight years as
00:05:05
extraordinary cases baffled the police
00:05:07
and Cindy's friends and family was this
00:05:10
young girl abducted and murdered could
00:05:12
Cindy be alive somewhere suffering from
00:05:14
amnesia or did she simply run away to
00:05:17
start a new life
00:05:21
Cindy Anderson was raised in a strict
00:05:22
religious environment her family her
00:05:26
boyfriend and most of her inner social
00:05:27
circle were all devout Christian
00:05:29
fundamentalist she was a very quiet
00:05:33
obedient type of a girl she never made
00:05:37
way for either myself or her mother and
00:05:40
she had lots of friends she was the type
00:05:44
of daughter that you just enjoy I mean
00:05:47
the type of daughter
00:05:50
beautiful young
00:05:52
if the time of Cyndi's disappearance
00:05:53
there were no circumstances in her life
00:05:56
that any of us were aware of that would
00:05:59
have caused her to have run away she was
00:06:02
looking forward to quitting her job in
00:06:04
two weeks and going to a Bible College
00:06:07
where she would attend with her
00:06:09
boyfriend she was very excited about it
00:06:13
just before she disappeared however she
00:06:15
was becoming like a debutante she was
00:06:20
spending a lot of time on her face and
00:06:21
herself and she skipped breakfast this
00:06:24
reason she spent more time on herself as
00:06:27
she did on her stomach and that may be
00:06:28
part of the reason of part of the
00:06:30
problem but they Cindi vanished the
00:06:35
police immediately began a search for
00:06:36
clues cannot find Cindy's car keys and
00:06:40
toast
00:06:41
the office understood there were both
00:06:44
signs of astronomy her car was parked in
00:06:48
front of the office her bank account
00:06:53
nice substantial amount of money was
00:06:55
never touched her Social Security
00:06:58
numbers has never shown up on under any
00:07:01
other workplace it's a complete mystery
00:07:05
how and why cindy disappeared ten months
00:07:11
earlier cindy noticed an odd coincidence
00:07:13
on the parking lot wall across from her
00:07:16
office
00:07:17
someone had painted the words i love you
00:07:19
Cindy by GW
00:07:21
[Music]
00:07:24
Cyndi's
00:07:25
but I think from the very beginning she
00:07:28
wondered it was so largely printed and
00:07:31
so visible to her it was just very eerie
00:07:34
that was the only graffiti on the wall
00:07:36
there was no other woman named Cindy
00:07:39
working in that side of the strip mall
00:07:41
that it could have been for so it was
00:07:43
strategically placed and it really gives
00:07:46
the heebie-jeebies
00:07:48
the spray-painted sign was visible for
00:07:50
about six months then it was covered up
00:07:54
within weeks the same message reappeared
00:07:57
this time it was even larger
00:08:00
[Music]
00:08:08
Cindy tried to figure out who DW could
00:08:12
have been and we couldn't think of
00:08:14
anyone at school at church and our group
00:08:17
of friends I'm at home in the
00:08:19
neighborhood so it did bother us a lot
00:08:22
we attempted to locate people Cindy with
00:08:26
no with those initials
00:08:28
[Music]
00:08:34
among the people that were investigated
00:08:39
with the initials GW is the maintenance
00:08:43
man who had worked for the law firm for
00:08:45
some time he had keys to both doors in
00:08:50
fact he had keys to all the offices the
00:08:54
police did not find any evidence that
00:08:56
the maintenance man wrote the graffiti
00:08:58
and are still puzzled by the message the
00:09:03
day before simply Anderson disappeared I
00:09:05
had been in the losses to pay off a
00:09:07
legal fee she got a phone call laughs
00:09:11
she kind of reacted like maybe was
00:09:14
obscene or something up quick
00:09:17
$30 okay and she got another phone call
00:09:21
and the look on her face still I can
00:09:24
pitch her today she was scared she was
00:09:26
honestly sincerely scared it gives me
00:09:29
shivers to think of the look on her face
00:09:31
some kind of problem no it's just been
00:09:35
happening lately you sure yeah yeah okay
00:09:37
okay well here you go I'll call him
00:09:40
later see how things are going great
00:09:42
thank you thank you
00:09:43
I went home and I called the police
00:09:45
department and asked them to do a
00:09:47
drive-by and check on her something
00:09:49
scared the hell out in my opinion
00:09:54
in September 1981 a month after Cindy
00:09:58
vanished
00:09:58
another strange phone call gave police
00:10:00
the first confirmation Adams
00:10:08
[Music]
00:10:10
she said that she was scared no she was
00:10:12
talking in low whispers can't you give
00:10:18
me the address kept sailing with me she
00:10:22
had to go I kept begging her to stay on
00:10:26
the line give me more information give
00:10:29
me an exact address something that we
00:10:32
could act on I've got to go a short
00:10:38
while later she again called detective
00:10:41
Adams I'm glad you called back ma'am
00:10:46
Adams signals sergeant Lee Hale off to
00:10:48
pick up the extension it as soon as he
00:10:51
came on the line the woman abruptly hung
00:10:52
up again she's called twice now she hey
00:10:56
lady mentioned that there was two houses
00:11:00
side-by-side owned by the same family
00:11:02
and that the family was out of town but
00:11:08
their son was home and he was the party
00:11:11
that was holding Cindy in the basement
00:11:15
we did check the street after street in
00:11:18
the north end to see if we could find
00:11:20
the two houses side by side
00:11:23
there's so many that you can't get a
00:11:25
positive location in the house she is
00:11:31
watching I would like her to call us
00:11:36
again I appeal to her to call for any
00:11:40
further information that she might have
00:11:42
my hope is that my daughter is alive and
00:11:45
well and living a normal life
00:11:46
perhaps this loss of memory but if she
00:11:50
herself is out there we want her to know
00:11:51
that we love her and we certainly wanted
00:11:52
to come back whatever the case may be
00:11:54
the door is open we certainly want
00:11:57
anybody and everybody that can possibly
00:11:59
help in this situation to do so
00:12:03
Cynthia Anderson has been missing from
00:12:05
the Toledo Ohio area since August of
00:12:07
1981 if she is still alive she would be
00:12:11
28 years old today these composites show
00:12:14
as she might look like now she's five
00:12:17
feet four inches tall with brown hair
00:12:19
and brown eyes
00:12:22
[Music]

February 22nd 1950 the West End Baptist
00:14:15
Church Beatrice Nebraska between the
00:14:18
years of 1920 and 1950 choir director
00:14:21
Martha Paul ruled the roost every
00:14:23
Wednesday night she demanded punch away
00:14:27
if he wanted to say in her choir who
00:14:29
showed up no later than 7:25 p.m. all
00:14:33
the members of Martha's choir told the
00:14:35
line on Wednesday evening mother
00:14:39
expected all of us to be punctual no one
00:14:42
was ever really late there might have
00:14:44
been very very few circumstances but
00:14:47
most often everyone was there all the
00:14:49
time
00:14:49
I really can't think of a time that
00:14:51
anyone came late
00:14:52
[Music]
00:14:58
very nice see you Sunday and fit me oh
00:15:02
no one knew it that night would be the
00:15:05
last choir rehearsal at West End Church
00:15:10
one week later the members of the choir
00:15:13
became part of a baffling unsolved
00:15:15
mystery some call it a strange
00:15:17
coincidence but others believe it was
00:15:19
something more
00:15:20
on March 1st at exactly seven twenty
00:15:23
seven pm tragedy struck the West End
00:15:25
Baptist Church but despite years of
00:15:28
unfailing punctuality this Wednesday
00:15:30
night was different there T March first
00:15:35
turned bitter cold the church's pastor
00:15:37
Reverend Walter Clemons stopped by the
00:15:39
church at 4:30 to light the furnace so
00:15:41
the church would be warm and time for
00:15:43
that evening's choir practice
00:15:48
Reverend Clinton and his wife always
00:15:50
brought their 18100 otter with who to
00:15:52
choir practice but that night the baby
00:15:54
stained her dress and mrs. Clinton had
00:15:56
to iron another one
00:15:57
it was 7:15 and they were running late
00:16:02
at the same time
00:16:04
Martha Paul's teenage daughter Marilyn
00:16:06
was sound asleep
00:16:07
Marilyn was requires accompanist I was
00:16:13
very tired and I wanted to rest for a
00:16:17
very short period of time before going
00:16:19
to the church to practice so I decided
00:16:22
that maybe a little 15-minute knife
00:16:24
wouldn't hurt and it ended up being a
00:16:26
little bit longer probably about a half
00:16:29
an hour a few blocks away Herbert Kipp
00:16:32
who sang bass in requirement was
00:16:34
preoccupied working on church business I
00:16:36
know I just need to finish this by
00:16:38
tonight
00:16:38
that night I was writing a letter
00:16:42
it seems very important for me to get it
00:16:44
into the mail that evening after the
00:16:48
matter is my mother was hounding me to
00:16:50
get going because the time was late
00:16:52
already
00:16:53
but I felt it was more important to get
00:16:55
it in the mail and drop it on the way to
00:16:58
church 810 year and who sealed song was
00:17:03
sang out of it let herself get hooked on
00:17:04
a radio program I turned on the radio to
00:17:09
listen to this is your life so I just
00:17:12
sat down and listened and I thought well
00:17:14
I'd have time to make it up there on
00:17:16
time I don't know why I turned it on
00:17:19
that night but I turned it on they said
00:17:21
this was it's gonna be Edgar Bergen his
00:17:23
life and I just decided I was gonna
00:17:24
listen to it Lucia was also responsible
00:17:28
for picking up another choir member but
00:17:30
tonight she didn't care Edgar Bergen was
00:17:33
worth being late for at 7:23 Madonna
00:17:39
Vanderbilt a 15 year old soprano choir
00:17:41
was struggling with a geometry equation
00:17:43
she was determined to find a solution
00:17:46
before she left for rehearsal but the
00:17:48
problem was difficult
00:17:50
night
00:17:53
two miles away green estie's couldn't
00:17:56
get her car stone she too was supposed
00:17:58
to pick up another so they were both
00:18:04
Joyce black who lived across the street
00:18:07
from the church was ready for choir
00:18:08
practice but just couldn't seem to get
00:18:11
moving I was late because I was just
00:18:14
plain lazy and I just didn't want to get
00:18:17
out in the cold and so I kept putting
00:18:20
off going out the door at last I
00:18:23
couldn't put it off any longer so I put
00:18:25
my coat on it and when I opened up the
00:18:28
door and stepped out our church just
00:18:31
disintegrated
00:18:37
all over town lights went out
00:18:46
[Music]
00:18:54
what was our sheet music and our song
00:18:57
book flying through the air we had a lot
00:19:00
of baseballs it was really something to
00:19:02
see a real nice public rail right here
00:19:09
I picked it up I didn't think anybody
00:19:13
care because I wanted to keep it minutes
00:19:17
after the explosion the choir members
00:19:19
began to arrive each one thinking that
00:19:22
the others had perished
00:19:26
Clady fire members searched the level
00:19:29
for survivors
00:19:33
one by one probably struggled in each
00:19:36
fortuitously lane for his or her whole
00:19:38
reason
00:19:42
when we found out that everyone's
00:19:44
blessing and that no one was in the
00:19:47
explosion we were staying there holding
00:19:49
each other's hands and one of the
00:19:50
members said let's give thanks to God
00:19:53
and we offered a prayer of thanksgiving
00:19:55
that we were indeed spared and that no
00:19:58
one lost their life in the 6.90 if this
00:20:04
had been a busload of people stopped by
00:20:08
a flat tire or any such occurrence it
00:20:11
might be considered a coincidence but
00:20:13
where you have 10 12 15 people scattered
00:20:16
throughout the entire city and each of
00:20:19
them detained by some trivial little
00:20:22
thing each different thing it can't be
00:20:27
when I realized what it happened I
00:20:29
thought well if I wouldn't have been
00:20:31
listening that this is your life my life
00:20:33
would have been over
00:20:34
I believe that night and no one will
00:20:37
convince me otherwise that God didn't
00:20:40
want us there
00:20:40
we were spared and I'm very grateful it
00:20:46
turned out that the explosion was caused

turbulent 1960s when radical students
00:22:24
erupted a rash of violent demonstrations
00:22:26

Vietnam triggered a stronger political

awareness throughout America
00:22:51
as a government was pushed unwillingly
00:22:53
towards an end of the war demonstrations

there was a loose but effective network

of underground groups that were

responsible for numerous robberies

numerous thefts of weapons and funneling
00:23:49
this money and material through an

innovative parole program designed to

rehabilitate convicts at nearby Walpole

00:25:34
Stanley Bourne was a criminal but with
00:25:38
revolutionary ideas if I can use that
00:25:39
expression very strong his beliefs he
00:25:42
said publicly you know if he was in the
00:25:44
commission of a crime he would kill a
00:25:46
policeman and consider it an act of war
00:25:48
rather than a crime he justified that
00:25:51
and he would justify whatever he did in
00:25:54
his revolutionary tactics even here in
00:25:57
the United States great universities are
00:25:59
being systematically destroy April of
00:26:02
1970 saw a new wave of protest as
00:26:04
President Nixon expanded the war into
00:26:06
Cambodia a Kent State University or
00:26:10
students were shot to death by Ohio
00:26:12
National Guardsmen this was the scene

yesterday at Kent State University as
00:26:18
demonstrators and national guardsmen
00:26:20
squared off to the second straight day
00:26:22
monday's confrontation escalated to a
00:26:25
tragic conclusion just after noon of the

00:26:30
allegedly thrown at them 13 seconds
00:26:33

Hathi Susan and Stanley bond felt

strongly the violence was a proper means
00:27:30
to their end in three months group
00:27:33
robbed over a dozen banks to fund the

00:27:44
Robert and William lefty Gilda a
00:27:46
convicted bank robber group was
00:27:53
notorious beside stage screen robbery
00:27:55
they committed numerous other crimes up
00:27:58
to maybe 17 others several of which we
00:28:02
did identify either one or more members
00:28:05
of the group of five on September 20th
00:28:10
1970 the group stole explosives and
00:28:13
automatic weapons from a Massachusetts
00:28:14
armory after the heist they firebombed
00:28:18
the building three days later the
00:28:22
radical gang prepared to rob the State
00:28:24
Street bank and breaking Massachusetts
00:28:28
Kathy Power had mixed up in a movement
00:28:31
that absolutely got out of hand a
00:28:33
revolutionary movement let's go there
00:28:36
was room for protest in this country
00:28:38
Kathy power and others took that protest
00:28:41
to the point of violence so I have no
00:28:43
sympathy for her activities I have
00:28:46
sympathy for her views in some ways I
00:28:50
can't understand how she got swept as
00:28:53
far as she did but I also have a lot
00:28:55
more sympathy for the family of the
00:28:57
slain police officer I can certainly
00:28:59
understand people wanting to make
00:29:01
changes in our society there are a lot
00:29:03
of inequities a lot of a lot of people
00:29:05
are disadvantaged and I believe very
00:29:08
strongly in trying to give some power to
00:29:11
disadvantaged people but I don't think
00:29:13
the way that you do that is to go about
00:29:14
killing somebody nothing nothing is
00:29:18
working in life nothing replaces human
00:29:20
life no amount of money that you could
00:29:21
steal from a bank or anything else
00:29:28
September 23rd 19 says he started

normally for Boston Police patrolman
00:29:33
Walter Schroeder at his partner Frank
00:29:35
Callaghan within 24 hours Schroeder
00:29:41
would be dead ironically just two years
00:29:44
earlier
00:29:45
officer Schroeder had received a special
00:29:47
commendation for foiling another run at
00:29:50
the State Street Bank I don't think we
00:29:57
get a better partner than Walter because
00:29:59
I could depend on I never had to worry
00:30:03
about my back nothing seemed to scare
00:30:07
him nothing's nothing fazed him at all
00:30:10
especially if someone was in trouble
00:30:11
he'd go all out Joe see if he could help
00:30:15
them regardless of what the situation
00:30:17
was I've never I never saw him back down
00:30:20
from any any incident
00:30:26

00:31:03
comrades went through the front door
00:31:10
bond ordered the tellers to place all
00:31:12
their available cash into money bags one
00:31:16
pellet pressed the silent alarm and the
00:31:18
authorities were alerted we're only a
00:31:28
couple blocks away when we BEC that 14 4
00:31:30
car up 14 3 will back up that unit at
00:31:33
the State Street Bank a strange feeling
00:31:35

00:32:04
as a robbers ran out of the bank
00:32:07
well plant I started to unravel Gill
00:32:10
they began firing indiscriminately with
00:32:17
the bag I heard six or eight you know
00:32:21
didn't know where they were evidently
00:32:25
Walter didn't realize where they were
00:32:27
coming from because he ran right toward
00:32:29
this man and he finally realized where
00:32:32
they were coming from and he tried to
00:32:34
turn around and run get around the
00:32:35
corner of the bank but he didn't quite
00:32:37
make I realized Walter was hurt when I
00:32:45
saw him fall I was hoping that he had
00:32:50
just tripped but deep down I knew that
00:32:53
he was a Boston Street bank right Walter
00:33:05
Schroeder not bad for a day's work huh
00:33:14
how would you go and pick off the cop in
00:33:16
here what's your problem the robbery had
00:33:20
netted twenty six thousand dollars in
00:33:21
cash stanley bond distributed five
00:33:24
hundred dollars in spending money to
00:33:26
each member of the gang and held on to
00:33:28
the remainder himself
00:33:37
within eight hours the five robbers had
00:33:40
all gone their separate ways an
00:33:42
officer's shoulder lay in st.
00:33:44
Elizabeth's Hospital fighting for his
00:33:45
life his partner kept a silent vigil
00:33:49
through the night Walters injury was
00:33:55
very serious the ordinary person
00:33:57
wouldn't last five minutes he was shot
00:34:00
in the back through the aorta I may know
00:34:03
how to reach for the heart
00:34:05
I guess Walter died around 10 o'clock in
00:34:08
the morning and it really hit me like a
00:34:12
ton of bricks I mean I
00:34:14
he was a real I was real close to the
00:34:16
wall he's a real friend it was like one
00:34:19
of the family and I'll never get over it
00:34:23
really hey I am gonna go over it yet the
00:34:27
effect of his death always devastating
00:34:29
as time has passed we've learned to
00:34:33
adjust to it but I think that it's
00:34:37
created a void that has never been
00:34:40
filled in and really can't be you know
00:34:44
it's scary when anybody gets killed it's
00:34:47
particularly scary when the people who
00:34:49
are charged with the responsibility of
00:34:51
taking care of the rest of us are killed
00:34:56
within 24 hours the Boston Police
00:34:59
Department had picked up the trail of
00:35:00
one of the fleeing killers a source on
00:35:04
the street gave us the name of Robert
00:35:06
Valeria's being one of the people
00:35:07
involved in the bank robbery Boston
00:35:10
police arrested Tulare he was
00:35:12
interrogated for quite a few hours he
00:35:14
finally gave the names of all the people
00:35:16
he named William gilday
00:35:19
name is Stanley Bunn Kathryn powers and
00:35:22
sex all being involved in the bank
00:35:27
five days later Stanley Bond was
00:35:30
arrested in Grand Junction Colorado
00:35:32
the next day Hill day was picked up in
00:35:36
Worcester Massachusetts after a
00:35:37
high-speed chase William gilday is still
00:35:42
serving two life sentences for his part
00:35:44
in the crime valeri spent five years in
00:35:48
jail and is now out on parole before
00:35:52
Stanley Barnes murder trial began he
00:35:54
accidentally killed himself with a
00:35:55
homemade bomb he had built for an escape
00:35:58
attempt
00:36:00
five years later Susan Saxe was arrested
00:36:03
on a Philadelphia Street she spent seven
00:36:06
years in prison and was released in 1982
00:36:10
in 1974 a bank's surveillance camera
00:36:14
photographed Kathy power opening a bank
00:36:15
account in Louisville Kentucky this was
00:36:19
the last reported sighting of Kathy
00:36:20
power
00:36:27
Cathi power has been on the run for
00:36:29
almost 19 years living the life of a
00:36:31
fugitive and is used the following
00:36:33
different aliases
00:36:34
Priscilla Cole Claire Johnson Mae Kelly
00:36:38
Jane Pascarella the search for Kathy
00:36:44
Powell will continue until she is found
00:36:46
but we have to be realistic the times
00:36:49
have changed I think the government and
00:36:52
the country has come back more to a
00:36:55
center space that would have to have
00:36:58
some influence upon what would happen to
00:37:01
Kathy power the crime occurred 18 years
00:37:05
ago and I think if Kathy were to turn
00:37:09
herself in or to be apprehended she
00:37:13
could be trying she would be found
00:37:14
guilty but I think a lot of things had
00:37:17
to be taken into consideration at the
00:37:19
time of her sentencing there's no
00:37:20
satisfaction to be derived by me or my
00:37:23
family what's done is done you can't you
00:37:25
can't bring somebody back but I think
00:37:27
it's important because it's it there's a
00:37:28
larger message contained in all of it
00:37:30
that you know we all function as a
00:37:33
single unit as a society and that there
00:37:35
are lines of behavior that are
00:37:37
acceptable and there are lines you know
00:37:39
once you step over that line it's not
00:37:40
acceptable her behavior as with the
00:37:43
other people involved is unacceptable
00:37:45
and you have to be called to task on
00:37:48
that you have to take responsibility for
00:37:50
what you do and if the individual
00:37:52
doesn't choose to do it society for the
00:37:54
protection of everybody else has to be
00:37:57
willing to do it whether it's something
00:37:59
that happened yesterday last year or 20
00:38:01
years ago
00:38:03

committed each year in the United States
00:38:48
30% of these remain unsolved in many of
00:38:52
these cases that killer is known to the
00:38:54
police but they are powerless without
00:38:55
the testimony of key witnesses in our
00:38:58
next story the police have received
00:38:59
anonymous calls from people who claimed
00:39:01
to know the identity of the killer but
00:39:04
they will not testify until a suspect is
00:39:06
safely behind bars the reason is simple

00:39:36
anxious to go and they got on their

motors and revved him up and they
00:39:41
couldn't wait to get out you know they
00:39:43
were ready to go because they knew they
00:39:45
had a few hours of daylight time the 6
00:39:51

all terrain vehicles to explore the

trails in the neighboring woods
00:39:59
by the next morning
00:40:04
when I woke up I realized that they
00:40:06
weren't huh and I stood at the back door
00:40:10
looking for the Sun to come up because
00:40:12
my feeling was maybe it was cloudy that
00:40:16
night and they couldn't find their way
00:40:19
back but I knew deep down that wasn't
00:40:22
what happened if something was wrong all
00:40:28
three men were experienced ATV riders
00:40:31
and two of them and ridden in the local

back in this particular area and of
00:41:57
course this is where we wanted look is
00:41:59
where the shots were heard the next
00:42:04
morning police searched the area where
00:42:06
the shots have been fired
00:42:07
they found ATV tire tracks nothing else
00:42:11
seemed out of the earth and totally
00:42:13
approached the gate an area posted no
00:42:15
trespassing signs
00:42:18
as we came to that section bro I had
00:42:20
noticed the green fly had landed over
00:42:22
here like to have a look close the green
00:42:24
flower my wrist and that be something
00:42:26
around here the closest area here
00:42:30
[Music]
00:42:33
the screenplay is in this areas we need
00:42:36
to look because there usually after
00:42:38
decaying flesh a short distance away
00:42:42
just off the road they discovered a spot
00:42:45
of blood
00:42:48
they come here look at this at this time
00:42:54
we began searching more around the area
00:42:56
we found a section that's the fear that
00:42:58
something that you'd drug through
00:43:00
through the grass
00:43:02
searching through that area and we did
00:43:04
find a fool
00:43:06
and after finding this we roped aerial
00:43:09
and advised it the command post that we
00:43:14
think we had found the crime scene
00:43:19
because police found brain tissue and
00:43:21
bull fragments at the scene they were
00:43:23
certain that the three men had been
00:43:25
killed however no bodies were found
00:43:33
two days later the dumpsite living miles
00:43:36
from the crime center bodies of Kenneth
00:43:39
Griffith Earl smock and Richard Mason
00:43:41
were discovered all three men been
00:43:44
killed by shotgun
00:43:47
police tried to make sense of the
00:43:49
evidence which was now scattered over a
00:43:51
large area the three men left from the
00:43:56
Mason home which is located here the
00:43:59
murder site was here three miles to the
00:44:01
north at the gate the three ATVs were
00:44:04
discovered here by Roberts Mill Road the
00:44:08
bodies were dumped here by sukh Creek
00:44:10
Road 11 miles from the crime scene
00:44:16
based on the physical evidence police
00:44:18
have reconstructed the crime it appears
00:44:21
that the three men were ratting the dirt
00:44:25
road they came to the area of the fence
00:44:28
at that time they were surprised with
00:44:32
some
00:44:32
[Music]
00:44:35
and it appeared that Kenneth Griffith
00:44:39
was apparently the first one that was
00:44:41
shot and he was shot in the left side of
00:44:44
the head had apparently killed him
00:44:46
instantly further indications are that
00:44:50
Richard Mason was a second man that was
00:44:52
shot he had one shot to the chest area
00:44:57
Earl smock
00:44:59
was shot directly into the right
00:45:01
shoulder it appeared that he got off of
00:45:05
his three-pointer and attempted to get
00:45:08
away the second shot went into the side
00:45:13
through the heart and that was a fatal
00:45:16
wound 16 years in the business it's my
00:45:23
opinion this is one of the most brutal
00:45:26
uncalled for murders ever police
00:45:34
believed that after the murders the
00:45:36
killer carefully covered up the evidence
00:45:37
then with the help of at least one
00:45:40
accomplice he began his grim journey to
00:45:43
dispose of the vehicles and the body
00:45:48
an eyewitness told police that he saw
00:45:51
two men in a pickup truck on Roberts
00:45:53
Mill Road the same night the victims
00:45:55
disappeared in the back of the truck
00:45:57
three ATVs
00:46:04
at the same time the pickup the spotted
00:46:06
another eyewitness reported seeing a
00:46:08
woman frantically trying to stop traffic
00:46:11
near Roberts Mill Road her light-colored
00:46:14
Chevrolet was blocking the road just a
00:46:17
quarter-mile bluff where the ATVs were
00:46:19
dropped
00:46:27
after the killer and his accomplice
00:46:29
dumped the ATVs police speculate they
00:46:32
return to the crime scene to retrieve
00:46:34
the three bodies they then drove 11
00:46:36
miles to the suck Creek Road campsite
00:46:41
it's obvious that whoever put the body
00:46:43
there they wanted the bodies to be found
00:46:46
they wouldn't be found sooner than what
00:46:49
they were in order to keep the actual
00:46:53
crime scene from ever being found and
00:46:55
had they'd been found on a Monday
00:46:57
instead of on Wednesday then the actual
00:47:01
crime scene that defense was never been
00:47:03
found
00:47:04
[Music]
00:47:05
police are convinced that the killer is
00:47:08
a local resident the murder and his
00:47:11
accomplices appeared to have a detailed
00:47:13
an intimate knowledge of the back roads
00:47:15
on Signal Mountain they also knew the
00:47:17
ideal locations to dump the ATVs and the
00:47:21
bodies like the authorities local
00:47:24
residents are worried that the killer is
00:47:26
part of their small community the people
00:47:30
in area are afraid to come forward not
00:47:33
fear of it happening again in that area
00:47:36
but fear that who was involved in it if
00:47:40
they say anything will get them
00:47:42
[Music]
00:48:02
for every mystery there is someone
00:48:04
somewhere who knows the truth perhaps if
00:48:07
someone was watching perhaps
00:48:09
