old Angela Mar was intelligent energetic
00:00:12
in spirited a passionate young crusader
00:00:15
against drinking and driving but Angela
00:00:18
climbed into her car on a summer night
00:00:20
in 1994 no one could have imagined the
00:00:23
cruel twist of fate she was about to
00:00:25
encounter beautiful sky Peru's Nazca
00:00:29
plateau was a breathtaking marvel
00:00:31
hundreds of ramrod straight lines a
00:00:34
converging geometric perfection giant
00:00:36
figures armed by single continuous
00:00:38
strokes who created these massive
00:00:40
artworks and boy if you're looking for a
00:00:45
good night's sleep you might want to
00:00:47

00:01:10
call and help solve on a tonight's
00:01:12
unsolved mysteries
00:01:21
[Music]
00:02:10
shouldn't be long just a couple hours I
00:02:12
love you honey love you more

21 year old Angela Mar grew up in a
00:02:21
close-knit family as Scottsdale Arizona
00:02:23
on July 29th 1994 angela was home from
00:02:27
college to celebrate her mother's
00:02:29
birthday a 10:00 p.m. she left the house
00:02:34
to pick up a friend who needed a ride
00:02:38
[Music]
00:02:41
around the same time 31 year old
00:02:43
glorious shools was leaving a local bar
00:02:47
moments later the pair's are these two
00:02:50
strangers glorious shoes and Angela Mar
00:02:52
would collide
00:03:01
[Music]
00:03:10
[Applause]
00:03:21
there was a knock at the door was the
00:03:23
police officers and they said that there
00:03:26
had been an accident and my question was
00:03:30
was my daughter okay
00:03:34
and they said no
00:03:38
[Music]
00:03:42
Angela had suffered massive blunt-force
00:03:44
trauma to her head by the time
00:03:47
paramedics are able to cut her out of
00:03:49
the car it was too late
00:03:52
Doria Shula survived although she
00:03:55
sustained a broken jaw she was lucid
00:03:57
enough to be questioned at the scene
00:04:02
tests later revealed traces of marijuana
00:04:05
and shows his system and a blood alcohol
00:04:07
content of point 1 5 well above the
00:04:11
legal limit for driving in Arizona
00:04:14
Angela Moore had apparently become one
00:04:16
of the more than 16,000 Americans killed
00:04:19
in alcohol-related accidents in 1994 but
00:04:23
Angela Maher is more than just a
00:04:25
statistic in a cruel tragic irony Angela
00:04:31
Martin an active crusader against
00:04:33
drinking and driving when she was a high
00:04:35
school junior a close friend was killed
00:04:37
while driving drunk rather than do
00:04:40
nothing Angela took a stand and helped
00:04:42
establish a chapter of Sadd Students
00:04:45
Against Drunk Driving being involved was
00:04:50
sad means that you just care enough to
00:04:52
be a really good friend if any of you
00:04:55
ever got into a situation where you
00:04:57
needed a ride home you could just give
00:04:59
me a call and I would come and get you
00:05:01
no questions asked you're probably
00:05:03
wondering why you're holding these
00:05:04
balloons
00:05:05
well if everyone that has a black
00:05:07
balloon to go ahead and release it
00:05:11
these balloons signify the number of
00:05:13
people that were killed in drunk-driving
00:05:14
accidents in Arizona last year by
00:05:19
releasing this white balloon it
00:05:20
signifies hope there this one ever
00:05:22
happened to one of us what's really an
00:05:26
awful ironies that the night that my
00:05:28
sister was hit she was on her way to
00:05:30
pick up a friend who had called from a
00:05:32
bar here in Phoenix for a ride home my
00:05:36
sister felt strongly enough that you
00:05:37
know if she knew she was going out with
00:05:39
friends and that they were going to
00:05:41
drink she would not drink so she could
00:05:45
drive everybody home and make sure that
00:05:46
that everybody got home safe and sound
00:05:48
always she always wanted to be the
00:05:52
designated driver that's why she would
00:05:54
always take our car and she'd always
00:05:57
just answer us by saying mother I want
00:06:00
to make sure I get home your honor it is
00:06:03
the state's position that a bond should
00:06:05
be set in this matter in September 6
00:06:07
1994 Gloria Shoals was arraigned on
00:06:10
charges of manslaughter and reckless
00:06:12
endangerment
00:06:13
Jose was represented by a prominent
00:06:16
attorney experience and handling drunk
00:06:18

00:06:21
heard yes your honor
00:06:22
Rosemarie Meyer the victim's mother
00:06:24
wishes to make a statement Judge Ryan we
00:06:31
all know in this country that a person
00:06:33
is innocent until proven guilty in a
00:06:35
court of law but does that mean that the
00:06:39
life of the accused continues on is if
00:06:41
nothing had happened she wasn't a rain
00:06:44
until four and a half weeks after the
00:06:47
accident actions she's never spent the
00:06:50
day in jail she kept her driver's
00:06:52
license she went on every day like
00:06:56
nothing happened at this point
00:07:00
Mitchell's
00:07:01
I'm going to release you under the
00:07:03
supervision of the pretrial services
00:07:05
agency of this court and this will
00:07:07
include drug monitoring to the Mars
00:07:10
dismay Gloria shows was released without
00:07:12
being required to post bond the judge
00:07:15
however did stipulate the shows submit
00:07:17
to drug testing three times a week that
00:07:20
she report to the court by phone once a
00:07:22
week do you understand the conditions of
00:07:24
your release yes your honor thank you
00:07:27
your honor may we be excused yes it was
00:07:32
a beginning of months of frustration for
00:07:34
the Mars
00:07:34
Gloria Schultz's attorney which seek and
00:07:37
receive six trial postponements the
00:07:40
prosecutor and judge originally on the
00:07:42
case were reassigned
00:07:43
Gloria shows will also be permitted to
00:07:46
leave the state on three separate
00:07:47
occasions
00:07:48
despite the Mars and the prosecutors
00:07:50
objections finally more than a year
00:07:55
after Angela Mars death
00:07:57
Gloria shows has offered a plea bargain
00:07:59
arrangement if she waived her right to a
00:08:02
trial and but guilty to the reckless
00:08:04
endangerment and manslaughter charges
00:08:06
she would serve a reduced sentence a
00:08:08
[Music]
00:08:09
pre-trial hearing was scheduled for
00:08:11
September 15th 1995 a day Rosemarie
00:08:15
marvel always remembered when I didn't
00:08:20
see her sitting in the car room all I
00:08:21
could think of was where was she had she
00:08:25
skipped
00:08:28
[Music]
00:08:30
I need to talk with y'all all real is
00:08:32
anybody looking back we've issued a
00:08:34
warrant for her arrest we discovered
00:08:37
that she had missed six drug testings
00:08:39
and then to find out her last time that
00:08:42
she called in was the end of August or
00:08:45
the 1st of September she could have
00:08:47
called in from anywhere the fact that
00:08:49
Gloria Schultz ran definitely affected
00:08:52
my mother and I the healing that goes
00:08:55
along with grieving and mourning
00:08:57
somebody you love it just hasn't
00:08:59
happened there's no closure she was
00:09:07
bubbly friendly full life and vitality
00:09:10
and always smiling I had a young lady
00:09:16
that was polished and educated
00:09:18
personable and loved life and this woman
00:09:22
took that away not only from me but from
00:09:25
everybody else touched Angela's life at
00:09:30
the time of her death Angela was a
00:09:32
senior at Creighton University in Omaha
00:09:34
Nebraska on May 13th 1995
00:09:44
in an unprecedented display of respect
00:09:46
angela was granted a diploma postures
00:09:52
[Music]
00:09:54
Gloria Shoals has not been seen in more
00:09:57
than seven months she's wanted on
00:09:59
manslaughter charges in the death of
00:10:00
Angela Maher there is also a federal
00:10:03
warrant for her arrest Scottsdale Police
00:10:05

the face is curiously turned away from

the sea in South America another ancient
00:11:25
mystery has defied all who would uncover
00:11:27
its secrets here inexplicably
00:11:31
monumental drawings have been etched
00:11:33
into the desert plane were they created
00:11:36
to placate angry gods to map out the
00:11:40
heavens or perhaps to welcome visitors
00:11:43
from another galaxy
00:11:46
welcome to the Nazca plateau a hundred
00:11:49
square miles of unanswered questions in
00:11:51
western Peru
00:11:52
[Music]
00:11:56
this spider prowls the eastern corner of
00:11:58
the plateau it is formed by a single
00:12:01
winding line that starts and ends in the
00:12:03
same place but for what purpose
00:12:10
this gigantic monkey is contour as dim
00:12:13
by time could fill two football fields
00:12:17
but how did this jungle dweller come to
00:12:19
be marooned in an empty desert more than
00:12:24
800 ramrod straight lines shoot across
00:12:27
the plateau laid end-to-end they total a
00:12:29
thousand miles the Lions converge at 62
00:12:35
different points archaeological evidence
00:12:40
suggests that the Egypt nazca's famous
00:12:42
for their ceramic art inscribed the
00:12:44
giant drawings between 1500 and 2500
00:12:47
years ago all over the NOS coeurs left
00:12:50
little that tells us the meaning of the
00:12:52
figures or reveals how they were made
00:12:58
imagine standing on the Nazca plateau
00:13:00
without modern surveying tools aerial
00:13:02
photographs or topographical maps
00:13:05
how would you plot out the enormous
00:13:07
monkey where would you put its tail its
00:13:09
head how would you make sure that the
00:13:12
parcel fit perfectly together somehow
00:13:14
the ancient Nazca artists were able to
00:13:17
do exactly that all told nearly a
00:13:23
thousand lines geometric shapes and
00:13:25
figures at tattooed across the Nazca
00:13:28
plateau when they are mapped in
00:13:30
catalogue the images form an astounding
00:13:32
body of work to this day no one has
00:13:36
fully explained the drawings though many
00:13:38
have tried
00:13:39
[Music]
00:13:40
one of the first archaeologists to visit
00:13:43
Nazca theorize that the plateau was a
00:13:45
giant celestial calendar he observed
00:13:48
that on the summer solstice the Sun set
00:13:50
in perfect alignment with one of the
00:13:52
markings
00:13:55
for over 40 years a German mathematician
00:13:57
named Maria Reiche II spent virtually
00:13:59
every waking hours studying the Nazca
00:14:02
plateau she concluded the dozens of the
00:14:05
lines and animal figures pointed to
00:14:07
major constellations if you go out there
00:14:12
dawn where you can see the sky and you
00:14:16
can see the dawn glow reflecting off of
00:14:18
those lines and they really become like
00:14:20
lighted pointers to the heavens a
00:14:25
radically different theory was proposed
00:14:27
by Swiss author Erich von däniken in the
00:14:30
late 1960s he claimed as some of the
00:14:33
markings were nothing less than giant
00:14:35
landing strips for alien spacecraft in
00:14:39
his book Chariots of the Gods von
00:14:42
Daniken suggested that the ancient Nazca
00:14:44
had regarded the aliens as gods that
00:14:46
constructed the runways under their
00:14:48
direct orders von Daniken identified
00:14:53
this 840 foot marking as a signpost
00:14:56
pointing the way to the landing strip
00:14:58
and this a portrait of one of the
00:15:03
intergalactic voyagers complete with
00:15:05
spacesuit
00:15:09
scientists aren't against the idea of
00:15:13
necessarily extraterrestrials per se but
00:15:15
we do expect some evidence before we
00:15:18
then start doing a lot of research in
00:15:20
that direction dr. Reinhardt and other
00:15:24
scientists believe that the plateau was
00:15:26
an immense outdoor Cathedral prayers
00:15:29
were once whispered here in the name of
00:15:31
a priceless resource water the plateau
00:15:36
is one of the driest places on earth in
00:15:39
five years five good years the plateau
00:15:42
will be blessed with just one half inch
00:15:44
of rain the main concern for people
00:15:47
living in that kind of a desert
00:15:49
environment is precisely that they're
00:15:51
very dependent on the rainfall and the
00:15:53
mountains to the east and they're also
00:15:55
dependent on the water level like goes
00:15:57
underground and which is also coming
00:16:00
from the mountains but how are the
00:16:04
drawings created in 1982 an attempt was
00:16:08
made to replicate the process using only
00:16:10
the simplest of tools we pirated a
00:16:14
couple of broomsticks from the local
00:16:16
hotel some pieces of string laid out a
00:16:19
line and we proceeded to clean and sweep
00:16:22
away the surface of the line it took us
00:16:25
a group of twelve one morning we even
00:16:29
got back to the hotel for lunch to make
00:16:31
a line about 20 yards long two yards
00:16:35
wide clear it completely
00:16:37
and here was a brand-spanking-new nazca
00:16:40
line
00:16:42
dr. ravine ease line certainly looked
00:16:44
like the genuine article but clearing a
00:16:47
60-foot curlicue was a relatively simple
00:16:49
task how did the Nazca artists
00:16:52
accurately model gargantuan figures like
00:16:54
the sprawling monkey by looking at them
00:16:57
only from ground level it took a
00:17:00
tremendous leap of imagination to make
00:17:03
these large models on the ground which
00:17:07
they themselves presumably did not see
00:17:09
not being able to fly but perhaps they
00:17:13
were able to fly argued Jim Woodman a
00:17:16
British author and Explorer to prove his
00:17:20
point Woodman hired Peruvian craftsmen
00:17:22
to stitch together a hot-air balloon
00:17:24
from materials that would have been
00:17:25
available centuries ago a raging
00:17:29
campfire provided the requisite hot air
00:17:35
perhaps for the first time in centuries
00:17:37
Mosca's figures are being viewed as
00:17:40
intended from a hot air balloon hundreds
00:17:43
of feet above the desert however many
00:17:48
scientists still believe that the
00:17:50
markings are meant to be experienced at
00:17:52
ground level the straight lines look
00:17:56
like roadways I mean they start from
00:17:58
someplace they lead to someplace so the
00:18:02
the idea that the lines are meant to be
00:18:03
walked on seems to me to be a much more
00:18:06
feasible one than the notion that
00:18:07
somebody had to look at them from above
00:18:10
the animals are made out of a single
00:18:13
sinuous continuous line that begins and
00:18:16
ends at the same point I can imagine
00:18:19
that a worshipper of the of a deity
00:18:22
would walk around one of these animal
00:18:25
figures to pray to the god or gods that
00:18:28
had to do with that animal that probably
00:18:31
some invocation to the gods would have
00:18:34
happened here
00:18:36
maybe it's because in our culture we
00:18:39
give a very high priority to visual
00:18:41
experience that we want to think that
00:18:44
ultimately we have to be able to explain
00:18:47
how these people saw the lines in order
00:18:50
for there to be a rational explanation
00:18:52
for for them and I think here that that
00:18:56
maybe we reflect more of our own
00:18:57
interest and the limitations of our own
00:19:00
point of view than any kind of
00:19:03
limitation that might have existed for
00:19:05
the Nazca people in the end there are no
00:19:10
answers those who created the wondrous
00:19:13
artworks of Nazca and been dead now for
00:19:16
centuries buried in tombs that ringed
00:19:18
the plateau over the years their bones
00:19:21
have been carelessly scattered by grave
00:19:22
robbers
00:19:23
however the ancient mysteries of Nazca
00:19:25
will in all likelihood remain
00:19:28
undisturbed forever
00:19:30
[Music]
00:19:36
coming up a most unusual haunting in
00:19:39
Texas proves as some ghosts would rather
00:19:41

00:20:12
actual phone missing it is left by a man

named Paul polis on March 12th 1994 the
00:20:19

freaked out here to the casual listener
00:20:33
a husband's message of concern but
00:20:36
Charlotte's family is convinced that
00:20:38
Paul polis knows exactly what happened
00:20:41
to his wife
00:20:41
I think Paul got in a fit of rage over
00:20:47
something and I think he got angry and
00:20:50
he struck her and he couldn't stop
00:20:53
himself
00:20:54
I think Paul killed my daughter they can
00:20:59
point the finger of me all they want I
00:21:01
didn't do anything wrong I know I didn't
00:21:04
do anything wrong
00:21:05
and I can't change what other people
00:21:09
think there are only two possibilities
00:21:13
Paul polis is totally innocent the
00:21:16
bereaved husband wrongly accused or
00:21:19
perhaps Paul POTUS has gotten away with
00:21:21
murder the police can't say there's not
00:21:24
even enough evidence to prove a crime
00:21:26
was committed until solid Lee's
00:21:28
developed Paul polis will very likely
00:21:30
remain locked in an ugly dispute with
00:21:32
his wife's family over just what
00:21:34
happened back in March of 1994
00:21:39
about the only thing everyone agrees on
00:21:41
is that Charlotte was sick on Friday
00:21:43
March 11th the day before she vanished
00:21:48
hey we're back that night poles Paris
00:21:54
looked after the couple's two children
00:21:55
while Paul took Charlotte to the
00:21:57
hospital she had an acute ear infection
00:22:00
marked by pain and dizziness hi mom
00:22:04
yeah we just got back from the hospital
00:22:07
after Paul's parents left shot at phoned
00:22:10
her mother it would be the final moment
00:22:13
the Charlotte Paulus was indisputably
00:22:15
alive she said I'll talk to you in the
00:22:18
morning
00:22:18
and at 1:25 a.m. I had hung up the phone
00:22:21
from her that's the last I ever spoke to
00:22:24
her at 10:00 to 9:00 on Saturday morning
00:22:29
I called the house to check on my
00:22:31
daughter because we talked generally we
00:22:33
talk on the phone anywhere from 10 to 12
00:22:35
14 times a day and Paul answered the
00:22:38
phone she's still up in bed she's still
00:22:44
sleeping well is she okay well doctor
00:22:47
said the best thing now is just to get
00:22:48
some rest
00:22:49
would you have Charlotte call me when
00:22:51
she gets gets up would you all right
00:22:57
sure-sure
00:23:00
I feeling Paul says the last time he saw
00:23:05
Charlotte was shortly after that phone
00:23:07
calls I want to go out and take the kids
00:23:10
with me for a little bit I'm gonna do
00:23:12
things about 11 o'clock I took the kids
00:23:14
out to do errands for the afternoon and
00:23:17
I told her just stay in bed and relax
00:23:21
I'll bring the medication that you need
00:23:23
back just stay in bed take it easy
00:23:27
according to Paul he buckled the kids
00:23:30
into their car seats and headed off for
00:23:32
a day of errands
00:23:33
there were stops at the pharmacy the
00:23:35
laundromat in a scrap yard then burgers
00:23:38
at a fast-food restaurant and finally a
00:23:41
couple of hours spent looking at houses
00:23:43
for sale when he gets something to eat
00:23:46
how does that sound good I know you guys
00:23:48
are hungry however polls account of that
00:23:50
day is disputed by several people at the
00:23:53
playground
00:23:56
for example Charlotte's mother claims
00:23:59
that she called the house several times
00:24:01
when Paul by his own account should
00:24:03
still have been there and I called it 10
00:24:07
I called it 10 after 10 I called it 20
00:24:09
after 10 I just kept calling calling I
00:24:11
thought something's not right
00:24:12
and no answering machine nobody
00:24:15
answering the phone nothing and I
00:24:17
thought well where is she
00:24:18
you know why is there nobody answering
00:24:21
one of Paws neighbors contradicted his
00:24:24
claim that he simply put the children in
00:24:26
the car and left it was 10 after 11 when
00:24:29
I pulled out of the driveway and as I
00:24:31
backed out I looked over at Paul's house
00:24:34
and he had Paul had his car backed up to
00:24:38
the porch
00:24:40
[Music]
00:24:42
but the trunk was open all four doors
00:24:44
were open his car was completely packed
00:24:47
with boxes and bags there was no sign of
00:24:52
the children and there was no way they
00:24:54
could be in the car there was no
00:24:56
possible way that car seats could fit in
00:24:58
the car as packed as it was and as I
00:25:02
drove by he looked at me with a really
00:25:04
strange eerie look he indicated that he
00:25:09
had the children with him all this time
00:25:12
we've talked to people that he made
00:25:14
contact with no one saw the children
00:25:17
with him my children were with me all
00:25:19
afternoon
00:25:20
I don't abandon my children not for a
00:25:23
second I don't leave the house and leave
00:25:27
them unattended I don't leave them in a
00:25:30
car unattended I'm not that type of a
00:25:32
parent never will be Paul says that when
00:25:38
he returned home at around 4 p.m.
00:25:40
Charlotte wasn't there at that time he
00:25:43
had no concerns for her safety
00:25:45
sure he didn't think anything was wrong
00:25:50
I figured that she was feeling better
00:25:52
and had gone out put the kids up to
00:25:56
finish their nap in bed and just watch
00:26:00
TV and finish cleaning the house about
00:26:06
7:30 I noticed her purse up on me of the
00:26:09
cabinets and
00:26:10
my wife doesn't go anywhere without her
00:26:12
purse I can't believe that she would
00:26:14
have left without it so I started
00:26:16
calling around to see if she'd going out
00:26:17
with anybody
00:26:19
hey guys what's up this is Paul I'm just
00:26:22
calling to see if you guys had seen char
00:26:24
at all
00:26:25
one shortest family learned that she was
00:26:28
missing
00:26:28
they rushed to the house after talking
00:26:34
to Paul shot a sister Aria decided to
00:26:36
take a look outside she noticed two sets
00:26:39
of footprints in the snow they stretched
00:26:42
from a side door towards a small shed
00:26:44
and then back around the house
00:26:47
the doors were bulging into pretty much
00:26:51
out of the shed they just had like a
00:26:53
regular padlock on it and it kind of
00:26:56
bothered me the way the shed was cuz the
00:26:58
doors weren't flush against it so he'd
00:27:00
gone into the house and I had asked Paul
00:27:02
for the keys he got very angry the shed
00:27:06
has nothing to do with Charlotte and I'm
00:27:07
not giving you the keys and she'd asked
00:27:09
him repeatedly for these keys to the
00:27:11
[ __ ] they got angrier and angrier it's a
00:27:13
[ __ ] all the normal garden tools lawn
00:27:16
mower it's as matter of fact I think at
00:27:21
the time there was key lock and it was a
00:27:23
key on Charlotte spring if they wanted
00:27:25
it open I would've given him a key I
00:27:27
don't remember anything about that
00:27:32
Paul's parents when I was staying at the
00:27:34
house and the air was thick with
00:27:36
suspicion there was an extremely a lot
00:27:39
of cleaning they were cleaning
00:27:40
everything from the attic to the
00:27:42
basement they are washing walls he had
00:27:44
washed he had did laundry he had washed
00:27:47
like scrubbed up the kitchen real good
00:27:49
and stuff which isn't it's not
00:27:51
characteristic of Paul to do that what
00:27:53
was his mother cleaning and his father
00:27:55
what was all this cleaning that went on
00:27:57
while they were there the only floor I
00:28:00
scrubbed was the kitchen floor so I
00:28:03
wouldn't stick to it where the baby had
00:28:05
dropped his food I'll clean I live there
00:28:09
I'd like to live in a clean house that
00:28:13
the State Bureau of Criminal
00:28:14
Investigation came in to check the house
00:28:17
to spray it with luminol or to find out
00:28:19
if any crime of violence had been
00:28:21
committed
00:28:22
the house was spotless it was cleaned
00:28:26
from top to bottom and it's very unusual
00:28:28
that a house is cleaned this way
00:28:32
investigators did find a stain of human
00:28:35
blood in the trunk of Paul and
00:28:37
Charlotte's car the sample was too small
00:28:39
to allow positive identification but
00:28:42
quite enough to fuel speculation that
00:28:44
Charlotte's body had been in the trunk
00:28:48
Paul weighs a hundred and fifty pounds
00:28:51
Charlotte weighed approximately 300
00:28:53
pounds Paul would be required to
00:28:57
transport the body that was twice his
00:29:00
weight and take it out into the open and
00:29:05
put the body in the trunk of the car
00:29:07
it's to me it just does not seem
00:29:09
possible at all the Shorter's family
00:29:13
however the pair of footprints in the
00:29:15
snow hit it at an explanation
00:29:18
Paul had help I looked at Paul's shoe
00:29:22
prints and they were the same footprints
00:29:24
that were in the snow and the other
00:29:26
footprints were fairly large with a shoe
00:29:29
boot who I can suspect would have been
00:29:33
his father's but they you know I can't
00:29:36
be definite on that either his parents
00:29:39
were brought in after the fact to help
00:29:41
him or they were there at the time it
00:29:43
happened oh I think that's positively
00:29:45
ludicrous there to think that anyone
00:29:51
would think that of us we have lived in
00:29:55
this area for 40 years we're not that
00:30:00
type of people I can't imagine why they
00:30:05
would think that it gives them an outlet
00:30:09
to vent their anger
00:30:13
I can only explain me in my actions and
00:30:23
I've been very straightforward
00:30:25
explaining where I was and what we did
00:30:28
that day Paul even agreed to take a
00:30:32
polygraph test
00:30:33
he made an appointment for Tuesday three
00:30:36
days after his wife disappeared
00:30:38
but Paul polis did not show up Paul
00:30:52
wasn't at home either yet left a note on
00:30:55
the bureau which read in part I love my
00:30:58
wife and would never do anything to harm
00:31:00
her intentionally Paul stayed out of
00:31:05
sight for three months then he
00:31:07
resurfaced with an explanation I had a
00:31:12
lot of mental anguish I was going
00:31:14
through and I wanted some time alone
00:31:16
people were driving in front of the
00:31:19
house non-stop they didn't come by to
00:31:22
give me a hug or a pat on the back and
00:31:25
say we're with you they just came by to
00:31:27
look for more than two years
00:31:31
Paul Poehler's has proclaimed his
00:31:33
innocence but according to Shauna's
00:31:35
family there is at least one eyewitness
00:31:37
to the alleged crime Paul and Shauna's
00:31:40
daughter now four years old
00:31:44
since her mother vanished the child is
00:31:46
lidless shot as parents they claim the
00:31:49
little girl has volunteered several
00:31:50
disturbing comments some of which they
00:31:53
recorded I feel that my granddaughter
00:31:56
witnessed the violence and that it's
00:31:59
locked into her memory we had to get rid
00:32:02
of all dark trash bags in our home and
00:32:05
go with light colored trash bags she is
00:32:07
paranoid of a dark trash bag she screams
00:32:10
and she cries because mommy was put in a
00:32:13
in a dark trash bag I think the child is
00:32:17
being coached and the tapes are being
00:32:21
made with this coached information
00:32:25
that's being given to her and I in the
00:32:27
sad part about it is it's very
00:32:29
detrimental to the child they're
00:32:32
destroying this child I didn't kill my
00:32:35
wife and I don't know where she is
00:32:39
I didn't have anything to do with it nor
00:32:42
did my family have anything to do with
00:32:43
it as far as I know
00:32:48
[Music]
00:32:55
[Music]
00:32:57
in a moment we'll take you to a remote
00:33:00
ranch in Texas where three Cowboys claim
00:33:03
that a noisy ghost is making their lives
00:33:05
miserable
00:33:07
[Music]
00:33:19
everybody loves a good ghost story
00:33:21
a spooky tall tale about things that go
00:33:24
bump in the night the three Texas
00:33:27
Cowboys are about to meet have a great
00:33:28
one but their ghost isn't satisfied with
00:33:31
a little old bump quite frankly this
00:33:34
noisy entities scares the daylights out
00:33:36
of everyone in earshot it started out as
00:33:44
a simple business venture in June of
00:33:46
1995 three partners took over a 3,000
00:33:50
acre ranch in the Texas Hill Country
00:33:53
they plan to sublease the game rich land
00:33:56
to hunters while they got things rolling
00:34:03
the three cowboys moved into the main
00:34:05
building it is a 4-bedroom wood frame
00:34:08
house constructed in the 1950s could any
00:34:12
house be more ordinary well from the
00:34:14
very first night the three men
00:34:16
discovered the ad company heavy-footed
00:34:18
company
00:34:30
sounded as if when it started it was
00:34:33
like off in a distance and each time it
00:34:36
would make a stab you could hear the
00:34:39
individual steps that they would make
00:34:42
but in my mind you know I didn't want to
00:34:46
III didn't want to consider the fact it
00:34:52
might be a ghost or something of that
00:34:55
nature almost every night there was
00:35:01
something new crashing footsteps
00:35:03
thunderous blows on the walls or
00:35:05
ceilings men never saw ghosts but they
00:35:09
heard plenty one of the Cowboys Bobby
00:35:13
had a most unnerving experience which
00:35:16
his partner slept through
00:35:23
I immediately picked a pistol up and I
00:35:26
jumped to my feet it was so loud it
00:35:30
sounded just like wooden chairs been
00:35:31
kicked just plumb across the floor
00:35:33
[Music]
00:35:41
the wasn't a cheer moved all the chairs
00:35:44
were right in place
00:35:46
there was nothing turned over anymore
00:35:50
this thing whatever it is it was almost
00:35:56
as if it would not let you rest because
00:36:00
almost as if they wanted to keep you
00:36:01
awake all night just about the time he
00:36:04
would doze off he would hit the wall and
00:36:08
I mean when I say hit it it would
00:36:11
clobbered the unearthly record continued
00:36:17
every night in the dark hours before
00:36:19
dawn pounding footsteps had threatened
00:36:22
to break the floorboards or crash
00:36:24
through the ceiling sledgehammer blows
00:36:26
that smashed at the wall sometimes every
00:36:31
100 other times the entity chose to
00:36:34
torment the Cowboys one by one this was
00:36:39
the night then I was hurt upon myself
00:36:49
they didn't say Johnny
00:36:52
it said Johnny and I looked around my
00:37:03
room was like oh I mean that room was as
00:37:06
cold as ice cold chills run into him and
00:37:11
I was just shivering under the sheets
00:37:12
you don't looking around you don't think
00:37:14
to myself another night Bobby woke up
00:37:19
sensing someone next to him I don't like
00:37:24
it probably to 3 o'clock in the morning
00:37:28
side of my bed just smashed plumb down I
00:37:31
mean really went down like someone had
00:37:33
stepped on the side of it with her foot
00:37:35
or set on the side of it which really
00:37:38
scared me because he had never done it
00:37:40
before Mike Richards had a similar
00:37:44
experience equally terrifying
00:37:48
approximately 3 or 4 o'clock in the
00:37:50
morning my right knee he woke me up I
00:37:53
mean it was it was pain like I've never
00:37:54
felt before he was actually like
00:37:57
somebody was sitting on their name I
00:38:00
[Music]
00:38:02
went to roll off the bed but my right
00:38:06
leg she stayed in the same position it
00:38:07
was and I look now I couldn't see nobody
00:38:10
sitting on her because you know he can't
00:38:12
roll off off the bed you know cuz
00:38:14
somebody's got your pin down you know so
00:38:17
all I could do was you know I I've
00:38:20
raised my other leg up and started
00:38:21
waving her to cross my leg you know like
00:38:24
you know get off whatever it is you know
00:38:26
it stopped and I could get off a bed you
00:38:28
know and the minute I got up and walked
00:38:30
around it it felt fine
00:38:33
[Music]
00:38:36
don't anything you let me know okay okay
00:38:38
finally Mike sisters paid a visit to the
00:38:41
ranch house to check out the noises for
00:38:43
themselves I guess I don't know what I
00:38:48
really expected I guess I expected to
00:38:50
just hear a little bumping and it
00:38:53
there'd be some logical explanation for
00:38:55
it but when I heard that night no man or
00:38:58
animal could have made before we went to
00:39:01
bed Susy and I decided that if I heard
00:39:03
something I was to nudge her and if she
00:39:05
heard something she was going to nudge
00:39:07
me well we were nudging each other
00:39:09
pretty quick
00:39:32
this went on for hours we heard
00:39:34
whistling that was started off very
00:39:37
faint grew to very very loud you could
00:39:40
hear the air you know like a person
00:39:43
whistling
00:39:44
and then bam bam bam out banging in the
00:39:47
walls like something caught up in the
00:39:49
wall ceilings were gonna cave in it was
00:39:53
so loud just laid there and whined and
00:39:59
spread it all night I don't know what
00:40:02
you call it it was so unreal that giddy
00:40:07
9 or calling for my brother was not an
00:40:10
option it was almost like I was trapped
00:40:13
there basically all I kept thinking is
00:40:15
pretty soon the sun's gonna come up and
00:40:17
I'm gonna get out of here that night I
00:40:21
didn't hear anything but there was no
00:40:23
doubt by the expression on their face
00:40:25
saying they they had definitely been put
00:40:28
through something you know that night
00:40:30
and they just said it's time to go or do
00:40:32
you want me to cook breakfast no it's
00:40:34
time to go let's go you know we was out
00:40:39
here pretty quick you know we decided to
00:40:46
try to find out just what was happening
00:40:48
at the ranch house we brought in noted
00:40:50
para psychologist dr. William role he
00:40:53
and his assistants set up equipment
00:40:55
inside and outside video cameras and
00:40:58
monitoring devices are used to measure
00:41:00
sudden temperature changes evidence of
00:41:03
radioactivity and fluctuation in the
00:41:05
electromagnetic fields in the area first
00:41:09
of all we recorded a number of sonic
00:41:13
effects from bangs to booms to a mild
00:41:17
sounds and the most striking of these
00:41:22
was associated with a southern crease in
00:41:26
the magnetic fields in the house dr. ROH
00:41:31
believes the noises can be attributed to
00:41:33
a physical phenomenon called a Peltier
00:41:35
effect according to dr. roll this can
00:41:38
occur when water seeps between
00:41:40
underground slabs of limestone
00:41:42
the resulting reaction not only produces
00:41:45
real noises but also creates an
00:41:47
electromagnetic field that may affect
00:41:49
human brains making people imagine all
00:41:51
kinds of experiences these magnetic
00:41:55
fields affect the human brain because
00:41:58
the human brain is a conductor and this
00:42:00
electric current produces striking
00:42:03
psychological experiences that only
00:42:06
happen in the minds
00:42:07
[Music]
00:42:11
a trick of the mind up to those who've
00:42:14
heard it but by a long shot I was the
00:42:20
most frightened I've ever been in my
00:42:22
whole entire life I mean I've been
00:42:24
robbed and had a gun sticking in my back
00:42:26
but that wasn't anything like what this
00:42:29
was because you're in such shock I'm not
00:42:33
lean I've come up with a thousand
00:42:35
different excuses that I would like to
00:42:38
blame it on him and none of them work
00:42:40
you know all I can say is come on over
00:42:44
and we'll fix you up you can just you
00:42:47
can you know you're more than welcome if
00:42:49
that's what you want to do it won't take
00:42:51
long
00:42:53
it made a believer out of me quick
00:43:09
on our next turn saw mysteries they
00:43:12
caught it chupacabras a strange
00:43:15
reptile-like creatures roams the
00:43:17
countryside in puerto rico preying on
00:43:19
livestock and small animals
00:43:21
it may sound fantastic but eyewitnesses
00:43:24
have no doubts the Beast is real when
00:43:28
she passed away in 1993 tobacco heiress
00:43:31
Doris Duke was one of the wealthiest
00:43:32
women in America now a bitter dispute
00:43:35
over control of a billion-dollar estate
00:43:38
has boiled over with accusations of
00:43:40
treachery and foul play
00:43:43
join me again next week perhaps you may
00:43:47
be able to help solve a mystery
00:43:54
