00:01:57
as a minor traffic accident
00:02:00

00:02:05
injuries she would die on the way to the

both victims is saturated with seawater
00:02:25
$25,000 in cash that the couple had
00:02:28
borrowed was missing
00:02:30
and the cause of both deaths cyanide
00:02:33
poisoning make a total of five cyanide
00:02:36
victims in the last four years
00:02:39
authorities suspect that all of the
00:02:42
deaths are linked to
00:02:46
voodo contrary to popular belief there
00:02:49
is nothing inherently Sinister about
00:02:52
Voodoo it is a blend of Roman
00:02:54
Catholicism and African tradition
00:02:57
practiced mainly in Haiti and Louisiana
00:03:00
curses hex's Effigy dolls and Potions
00:03:04
are more often a part of obia an
00:03:07
underground form of sorcery that is not
00:03:10
connected to
00:03:14
Voodoo police in St Croy now believe
00:03:17
that the five cyanide poisonings were
00:03:20
the work of a master KH he practices
00:03:23
obia but pretends to use Voodoo he lures
00:03:27
his victims into a vicious web of Deceit
00:03:31
and
00:03:33
murder R and krishn doth were both born
00:03:36
in the Caribbean their parents came from
00:03:43
India the couple ran a small grocery
00:03:45
store kata's two daughters from her
00:03:48
first marriage helped with the
00:03:50
business we were paying our bills and we
00:03:53
didn't have food to eat were all well we
00:03:55
were strong and healthy and we were all
00:03:57
working hard especially my mother
00:04:00
see you
00:04:01
soon several months before they died
00:04:04
they took out a loan to expand their
00:04:06
store they soon found themselves in
00:04:09
financial
00:04:10
trouble I've got the loan no I don't
00:04:13
want to talk about the loan all right
00:04:15
time they were very tense and especially
00:04:17
when I spoke to my mother about what
00:04:19
they were doing she didn't like for me
00:04:21
to ask her all those things and she
00:04:23
tried to um answer me as quickly as
00:04:26
possible and try to change the subject
00:04:29
I'm sorry I couldn't meet last week
00:04:32
something else was wrong according to
00:04:35
their daughters the maharaji had been
00:04:38
receiving mysterious phone calls from a
00:04:40
strange man but they wouldn't talk about
00:04:43
it usually I answer the phone and this
00:04:45
man would ask to speak to my stepfather
00:04:48
as soon as I gave it to him he would ask
00:04:49
me to go
00:04:51
outside because he had something private
00:04:53
to discuss yes uh
00:04:56
$25,000 then 3 weeks before the maharaji
00:04:59
died they brought home
00:05:02
$25,000 in cash borrowed from R's
00:05:06
relatives she told us that this is what
00:05:09
they had to pay to the gentleman so I
00:05:11
asked her well why she said well don't
00:05:14
ask me any questions by Monday you will
00:05:16
know what it's all about but by Monday
00:05:20
Rada was
00:05:25
dead on the previous Friday she left
00:05:28
home without explanation
00:05:30
for her to actually go out alone is
00:05:32
something very strange for me and for
00:05:34
her to go out at night that is even more
00:05:36
strange because she didn't ever go
00:05:38
anywhere at
00:05:39
Night
00:05:41
[Music]
00:05:44
Never 30 minutes later krishn doth drove
00:05:48
off in the opposite direction presumably
00:05:50
to meet the mysterious
00:05:55
Man 2 hours later R's car coasted to a
00:05:58
stop near a local Beach
00:06:02
Beach her dress was soaked with seawater
00:06:06
she was unconscious and near death but
00:06:09
there were no outward signs of struggle
00:06:11
or Foul
00:06:15
Play 16 M away krishn doth was found
00:06:20
Lying by the side of a beach front Road
00:06:22
he was dressed only in a pair of shorts
00:06:24
which were also soaked with
00:06:27
seawater once again there were no signs
00:06:30
of Foul
00:06:33
Play the police told me that they
00:06:35
believe that Mom tried to commit suicide
00:06:38
probably because she and my stepfather
00:06:40
had quarreled about something so very
00:06:42
big that there was no way they could
00:06:44
patch it up that is
00:06:47
nonsense autopsies of the bodies
00:06:50
revealed that they had both died from
00:06:52
cyanide
00:06:57
poisoning oddly another s Croy couple
00:07:00
edel stridden and Carman Torres had
00:07:03
recently died under similar
00:07:07
circumstances etel and Carman had owned
00:07:09
a small neighborhood
00:07:11
[Music]
00:07:14
bar like the maharaji they also took out
00:07:17
a loan to expand their business
00:07:20
$54,000 in
00:07:22
cash come on honey we got to go at dusk
00:07:27
etel and Carmen left their home in their
00:07:29
pickup truck truck their daughter later
00:07:31
recalled that her father had slipped a
00:07:33
small bottle into his pocket before he
00:07:36
left it was the last time she would see
00:07:38
her parents
00:07:43
alive Carmen Torres was discovered near
00:07:46
death less than a half a mile from the
00:07:48
spot where Raja Maharaj had been found
00:07:51
she too would die on the way to the
00:07:56
hospital etel stridden was found dead
00:07:59
head in his truck on a nearby Beach both
00:08:02
Carmen andel's clothes were also soaked
00:08:05
with seawater and both had died of
00:08:08
cyanic poisoning plus the $54,000 in
00:08:12
cash was
00:08:15
missing the four deaths were clearly
00:08:17
related and were linked by investigators
00:08:20
to yet another previous cyanide
00:08:23
poisoning the first victim was
00:08:25
38-year-old heg
00:08:28
Caesar 2 years earlier another car
00:08:31
another strange death a young girl on
00:08:34
her way to school found he in his car
00:08:37
that had apparently run off the
00:08:40
road hey Mr your car he too had been
00:08:44
poisoned by S it he appeared to be dead
00:08:47
for several hours there was no
00:08:49
indication of f play or any struggle and
00:08:53
we later found out that he had made
00:08:55
contact with an individual that might be
00:08:58
involved in
00:09:00
voodo what he said is that the men had
00:09:03
told them that they were three large
00:09:05
jars of coins buried on the property
00:09:07
that we owned and that the coins were
00:09:09
being guarded by Spirits ancient spirits
00:09:12
and in order to get those coins they
00:09:14
would have to get rid of the spirits I
00:09:16
can't feel something Jumbo's presence
00:09:18
really here I can't feel
00:09:20
it there's a lot of gold on this land
00:09:24
before his death heg apparently paid
00:09:27
$100,000 in cash to obia man who claimed
00:09:31
that he could remove the evil spirits
00:09:33
all right don't worry about that I'll
00:09:35
come up with the money when I found out
00:09:37
about all the money he was borrowing and
00:09:38
all the cash that he had taken out of
00:09:40
our accounts and everything without even
00:09:41
letting me know I really was very angry
00:09:44
about it um and shocked overall just
00:09:47
shocked that he would have taken it so
00:09:49
far on the night he died police believe
00:09:52
heg returned to the spot where the obam
00:09:55
man had said a treasure of Priceless
00:09:57
coins was buried the OB a man Scamp
00:10:00
called for him to drink a potion that
00:10:02
would drive away the spirits guarding
00:10:04
the coins that potion turned out to be
00:10:14
cyanite by the time hag's body was
00:10:16
discovered the next day both the obia
00:10:19
man and the
00:10:21
$100,000 had vanished I knew that he was
00:10:25
aware of OB and Voodoo I mean most
00:10:27
people who live in the islands are I
00:10:29
thought he was smart enough intelligent
00:10:31
enough aware enough to know that you
00:10:33
know it wasn't
00:10:35
real we all five deaths the work of an
00:10:38
obia man I have a poor son was the man
00:10:42
who promised bury treasure to heg Caeser
00:10:45
the same man who telephoned the maharaji
00:10:48
25,000 you got to go was he also the man
00:10:52
OS stridden and Kon Torres went to meet
00:10:55
on the night they died the similarities
00:10:58
in all three cases go far beyond mere
00:11:01
coincidence it's very hard to understand
00:11:04
why people would want to cheat and
00:11:07
kill and if somebody doesn't find him
00:11:11
then I don't believe that there is any
00:11:13
justice in this
00:11:15
world the man who has murdered five
00:11:18
people on St Croy is believed to travel
00:11:21
throughout the Caribbean and even into
00:11:23
the United States He Speaks with a heavy
00:11:27
French West Indian accent

next on the night her parents were
00:11:41
murdered a teenage girl and her friend
00:11:56
go Venita Oklahoma a small small rural
00:12:00
town in Craig
00:12:02
County Ashley Freeman turns sweet 16
00:12:07
it's a night of celebration for her
00:12:08
parents and for her best friend Laura
00:12:11
Bible Laura she said to me Daddy is it
00:12:15
all right if I spend the night with
00:12:16
Ashley to the Freeman's home I said well
00:12:19
said just make sure you're home by noon
00:12:21
tomorrow and uh noon tomorrow didn't
00:12:24
happen the way it should have
00:12:31
sometime during the night the Freeman's
00:12:33
home became an
00:12:36
[Music]
00:12:42
Inferno by the time Laura's parents
00:12:45
arrived the fire is out but Ashley
00:12:47
Freeman's home has been reduced to ashes
00:12:51
there's a car Laura's car is still there
00:12:54
but there is no sign of their daughter
00:12:57
Jay and Loren vial fear the worst we did
00:13:00
find one body but it's not Laura I the
00:13:03
county coiner told me that there was
00:13:05
only one body is all they found I said
00:13:07
have they found any any anybody else and
00:13:10
she said no we've looked but there's no
00:13:12
other bodies there the body is Cathy
00:13:15
Freeman the mother of Laura's best
00:13:17
friend
00:13:20
Ashley but where are Ashley her father
00:13:23
Danny and Laura Bible we only had one
00:13:26
body accounted for could find no others
00:13:29
yet we had all the cars there at the
00:13:31
house that was that was a little bit
00:13:32
bizarre and no one could quite piece two
00:13:34
and two together on that it didn't make
00:13:35
any
00:13:38
sense one person dead and three missing
00:13:42
the case became even more baffling when
00:13:45
the coroner determined that Kathy
00:13:46
Freeman did not die in the fire but from
00:13:49
a shotgun wound to the head and then the
00:13:53
arson Squad concluded that the blaze was
00:13:56
deliberately set
00:14:00
Laura and Ashley had been best friends
00:14:02
since kindergarten Laura and Ashley call
00:14:05
each other at least once a week what one
00:14:07
was thinking the other was thinking it's
00:14:09
kind of like when two people one can
00:14:10
finish the sentence when the other one
00:14:12
starts
00:14:13
one the day after the fire Laura's
00:14:16
parents returned to the crime scene they
00:14:19
had hoped to find a clue investigators
00:14:21
missed oh no after only 5 minutes line
00:14:24
come here
00:14:26
quick it was more than a clue it was
00:14:29
body burned almost beyond
00:14:31
recognition but it wasn't Laura or
00:14:34
Ashley it was an adult male he did not
00:14:38
have anything from the upper teeth all
00:14:40
the way to the top of his head was
00:14:42
totally gone like he'd been shot in the
00:14:44
face we just couldn't believe that they
00:14:46
had overlooked a second body in this
00:14:50
fire the body was identified as Danny
00:14:53
Freeman Cathy's husband and like Kathy
00:14:56
he had been shot at close range with a
00:15:02
shotgun investigators reexamined the
00:15:05
crime scene no other bodies were found
00:15:07
but they did find one important clue
00:15:10
Laura's purse Laura's purse honey in it
00:15:14
were her driver's license and nearly
00:15:16
$200 in
00:15:20
cash why would Laura leave her purse
00:15:23
unless she had been abducted I feel that
00:15:26
somebody had went in there for whatever
00:15:28
reason mured Denny and Kathy and took
00:15:30
the
00:15:34
girls the Craig County Sheriff's
00:15:37
Department tried to piece together what
00:15:39
happened the night of Ashley's
00:15:43
birthday if it had been a robbery the
00:15:45
purse would have been taken and if
00:15:48
murder was the motive who had reason to
00:15:50
kill Dany and Kathy Freeman Ashley's
00:15:54
parents Dany himself may have had the
00:15:56
answer which he revealed to his brother
00:15:59
DNE listen
00:16:00
Dwayne if anything should ever happen to
00:16:03
me I want you to take a look at the
00:16:05
Sheriff's
00:16:07
Office Sheriff what he put his finger in
00:16:10
my face and he said if anything ever
00:16:13
happens to
00:16:15
me look at the sheriff's department and
00:16:17
he was serious he was in my face to
00:16:20
drive it home with me for months it had
00:16:23
been rumored that the Craig County
00:16:25
Sheriff's Department was feuding with
00:16:27
the Freemans it all began when Danny's
00:16:30
son Shane was shot and killed by a
00:16:32
deputy after he had stolen a truck and a
00:16:35
neighbor's gun Shane's killing was ruled
00:16:38
justifiable but the Freemans threatened
00:16:41
to file a wrongful death lawsuit against
00:16:43
the sheriff's
00:16:46
department some say that the deputies
00:16:49
started to intimidate the Freemans get
00:16:51
out of the truck Danny what is this
00:16:53
about this is about you looking all over
00:16:55
town for he was basically told according
00:16:58
to Danny that they could do anything
00:16:59
they wanted to to him and his family and
00:17:01
there wasn't a thing he could do about
00:17:02
it you're taking yourself out of the
00:17:05
investigation when Danny and Kathy
00:17:07
Freeman were found dead the Craig County
00:17:09
Sheriff's Department voluntarily turned
00:17:12
the case over to the Oklahoma State
00:17:14
Bureau of Investigation they also
00:17:17
consented to polygraph
00:17:19
tests then all cleared themselves as a
00:17:22
result of those examinations the overall
00:17:25
conclusion of our efforts was that the
00:17:26
Sheriff's Office had nothing to do with
00:17:28
the murder of Danny and Kathy and did
00:17:30
not know the whereabouts of the two
00:17:31
missing
00:17:33
girls another possibility according to
00:17:37
an informant Danny Freeman met with two
00:17:40
unidentified men a couple of weeks
00:17:42
before his murder one was clearly
00:17:45
unwelcome what's he doing here we just
00:17:48
got some things we want to talk about
00:17:49
some people said that Danny was a
00:17:50
smalltime drug trafficker him I'm not
00:17:53
dealing with you while he's here so you
00:17:55
can just take off Danny could a drug
00:17:58
deal gone bad have resulted in a double
00:18:01
murder if you wanted to consider that it
00:18:03
was drug related and Nothing fits
00:18:05
correctly the very last thing that the
00:18:07
people who committed the murder would
00:18:09
want to do would be abduct the
00:18:11
children there is another possibility
00:18:14
perhaps the most disturbing theory of
00:18:17
all Ashley Freeman murdered her own
00:18:20
parents and then fled with Laura there
00:18:23
was a great deal of friction in the
00:18:25
Freeman household Danny and his daughter
00:18:27
did not get along well and all Haden for
00:18:29
some time that's something we can't
00:18:30
Overlook I find it difficult to believe
00:18:33
that the girls by themselves could hide
00:18:35
out that long and not be
00:18:38
found Jay and Loren Bible were left with
00:18:41
only unanswered questions where were
00:18:44
Laura and Ashley and why had they left
00:18:48
we have come to the conclusion that
00:18:49
Laura is in the wrong place at the wrong
00:18:51
time I do feel that she's still alive
00:18:53
but whether she's alive or dead I want
00:18:55
to know you know we love her dearly and
00:18:58
wish we could have her back wish we
00:18:59
could have both the girls back cuz at
00:19:01
this point I take and raise them both
00:19:03
and never let them
00:19:06

Alias but eventually their prisoner is
00:21:26
identified as The elusive con man known
00:21:30
as Todd
00:21:31
Mueller Todd Mueller specialized in
00:21:34
forging court documents he used them to
00:21:37
steal money from the Estates of people
00:21:39
who had recently died Mueller was also
00:21:42
something of a practical joker he
00:21:44
enjoyed taunting anyone who tried to
00:21:46
keep Todd Mueller Behind
00:21:50
Bars Honolulu Hawaii hello my name is
00:21:54
Clara hi Clara how are you I'm Arthur IA
00:21:56
only a few months after his arrest in
00:21:58
Maui Todd Mueller was out on bail and
00:22:01
back on the scam this time he was
00:22:04
calling himself Arthur
00:22:06
Iona we think Todd Mueller looked in a
00:22:09
newspaper from there he would get names
00:22:12
of deceased persons their accounts being
00:22:14
in Probate Court he would then go over
00:22:16
to the coping machines located right in
00:22:18
circuit court and he would make up
00:22:20
letters of administration naming him the
00:22:24
trustee for the
00:22:26
account I've been a personal
00:22:27
representative to the the estate of
00:22:28
George mlin and what I'd like to do is
00:22:31
take the funds from this account and
00:22:32
open a checking account in my name may I
00:22:34
see some ID
00:22:36
absolutely 3 days after he opened the
00:22:38
account rer returned to the bank in
00:22:40
Honolulu and withdrew More Than
00:22:44
$31,000 This instantly aroused the
00:22:47
suspicions of the bank manager who acted
00:22:50
quickly she called me to tell me that
00:22:52
she thought these probate documents were
00:22:55
false she described the individual to me
00:22:57
I immediately thought Todd
00:23:00
Mueller Todd Mueller detective thego
00:23:03

00:23:05
forgery chance be on your back after the

00:23:34
around but Todd Mueller had cleared out
00:23:37

00:23:42
goose
00:23:43
chase and where was Todd
00:23:46
Mueller living it up 5,000 m away in an

hotel's reservation service and booked
00:24:30
another room across the hall that irked
00:24:34
me to say the least and at that point
00:24:37
that's when I felt that we should take
00:24:38
some sort of
00:24:40
action Pat amiano searched Mueller's
00:24:43
vacated room he found several discarded
00:24:46
checks which later proved to be
00:24:48
forgeries amiano also discovered that

Mueller had placed several calls to
00:24:53
Honolulu
00:24:55
Hawaii he called one of the phone
00:24:57
numbers and it happened to be my office

00:26:01
Cook County Jail pending
00:26:04
trial but Mueller had one more trick up
00:26:07
his sleeve after 6 months behind bars he
00:26:10
told guards that he had swallowed a
00:26:13
razor blade he was immediately rushed to
00:26:16
an emergency room Mueller was handcuffed
00:26:19
to his hospital bed a guard was posted
00:26:22
outside the door but it didn't do a bit
00:26:25
of good authorities still and explain
00:26:29
how Mueller got away I don't
00:26:32
particularly enjoy what he's doing but I

00:28:58
he served his time and has been
00:29:05
released at one time or another most of
00:29:08
us have had a dream so intense so vivid
00:29:12
that we felt it had to be real few
00:29:15
though have ever discovered that the
00:29:17
dream actually was real even fewer have
00:29:21
had the spying tingling experience of
00:29:23
the man you're about to meet
00:29:29
Kuwait the Middle
00:29:34
East January
00:29:36
1991 desert
00:29:40
stor the conflict was instantly seen on
00:29:43
television sets around the world I would
00:29:46
like to see a peaceful solution to this
00:29:48
question I think Saddam Hussein should
00:29:51
fully Joe O'Brien of Crestline
00:29:53
California watched with special
00:29:57
interest one of the Kuwaiti jet Pilots
00:29:59
fighting with the Allied Forces was his
00:30:01
longtime friend Muhammad Mubarak
00:30:04
nicknamed Sammy they had met 16 years
00:30:08
before when Samy was in the United
00:30:10
States on a training Mission they had
00:30:13
been friends ever
00:30:15
since during the hours of Darkness
00:30:17
Baghdad was bombed by Allied war planes
00:30:20
wait hold on Joe had no doubt that Samy
00:30:23
would be in the middle of the fighting
00:30:25
I'm going to have to call you back but
00:30:27
he was stunned to see his friend's face
00:30:29
right there on television the Iraqis had
00:30:33
shot down Samy's plane and taken him
00:30:35
prisoner it was like my blood turned
00:30:38
lead I think my biggest concern when he
00:30:40
was shot down was that Saddam Hussein
00:30:42
would make an example out of him Iraq's
00:30:45
issue is with Kuwait so we have a
00:30:46
Kuwaiti pilot uh we will if they were to
00:30:49
torture or kill him uh uh that was my
00:30:53
main
00:30:55
concern that night Joe had a bizarre our
00:31:04
dream in my dream I was very much aware
00:31:07
that I was Sammy I was in his cell and I
00:31:10
was seeing things through his
00:31:11
eyes and it was a fairly small cell with
00:31:14
a high ceiling the floor was very cold I
00:31:18
noticed the color was almost like a dark
00:31:20
flat
00:31:22
porcelain uh it had on a maroon took on
00:31:25
a maroon or purplish color when the
00:31:27
light was was on I remember being very
00:31:29
uncomfortable but the pain I had in my
00:31:32
hands almost overrode everything else
00:31:34
about my captivity it was so painful my
00:31:37
hands were on
00:31:38
fire in his dream Joe had a powerful
00:31:41
feeling about what seemed to be an
00:31:44
ordinary striped
00:31:46
blanket I was very happy to have it I
00:31:48
remember studying the material and the
00:31:50
design and it was shortly after that
00:31:52
when I woke up in a cold sweat I've
00:31:55
never had a dream like that and I've
00:31:56
never woken up like that before and I I
00:32:00
immediately got out of bed it was about
00:32:02
6:00 and I went right into the bathroom
00:32:05
to run some water on my wrists which
00:32:07
were very very
00:32:08
[Music]
00:32:10
sore that morning Joe met a friend John
00:32:13
goth for breakfast Hey Joe how's it
00:32:16
going okay how are you all right big
00:32:19
night yeah I'm
00:32:20
sure when he showed up I noticed that
00:32:23
his hands were kind of red and he had a
00:32:25
tough time picking his coffee cup up and
00:32:27
he said the the darnest thing happened
00:32:29
to me last night I I had this strange
00:32:31
dream and in the process of my dream um
00:32:34
my hand started hurting and so then he
00:32:36
told me about the dream your friend is a
00:32:38
qu pilot yeah yeah I dreamed I was him
00:32:42
in his cell Joe Brian is not a person to
00:32:45
just fabricate stories and when he told
00:32:47
me about this story I really did think
00:32:49
that it was something really unusual he
00:32:51
explained in detail about a prisoner of
00:32:54
war and the pain of his hands didn't go
00:32:56
away for 5 days
00:32:58
you know someone's captive you're going
00:32:59
to picture a cell but why the pain and
00:33:02
why in my wrists uh you know I I've I
00:33:06
used to be a Mason I have strong hands
00:33:08
I've never had problems with my hands
00:33:09
and here I can't even hold a coffee
00:33:12
cup 42 days after the War Began Iraq
00:33:17
surrendered Saddam Hussein agreed to a
00:33:20
ceasefire and an exchange of prisoners
00:33:23
Joe again saw Samy's face on television
00:33:27
when I saw Sammy actually being released
00:33:30
I couldn't believe it I was just so
00:33:31
happy I called him that night he was in
00:33:33
the hospital and had a wonderful
00:33:35
conversation with him and I was very
00:33:36
happy it was a it was a a good
00:33:41
day
00:33:43
my the following Christmas they
00:33:45
celebrated Sammy and his sister visited
00:33:49
Joe in California for a reunion that
00:33:52
night Joel told Sammy about his dream I
00:33:56
dreamed that I was in a Cell it was a
00:33:59
dark black and burgundy tile with this
00:34:01
little window way up high Sammy was
00:34:06
stunned Joe's words took him back back
00:34:10
to the horror of captivity when the
00:34:13
Iraqis were taking Sammy to a p camp he
00:34:16
had been handcuffed so tightly that his
00:34:19
wrists were cut and
00:34:21
bleeding the pain I hardly can move my
00:34:24
rest around I had the handcuffs for five
00:34:29
long days you know very tight and really
00:34:32
hurting my rest
00:34:34
badly and I had this beige and green
00:34:37
striped cloth which was really important
00:34:40
to
00:34:40
me the detail was astonishing Joe was
00:34:44
describing Samy's blanket the only
00:34:47
comfort he had I very cold so I usually
00:34:51
just have the blanket around me because
00:34:53
it was keeping me warm you've described
00:34:56
my exactly Joe and Sammy compared notes
00:35:00
for hours even the that was my I was
00:35:03
totally amazed surprised his dream
00:35:06
matched the cell and the reality uh
00:35:10
almost let me say 100% you know
00:35:13
100% the feeling the description the
00:35:15
colors how I
00:35:17
felt uh
00:35:20
everything maybe Joe's dream was just an
00:35:22
ear coincidence or maybe some dreams are
00:35:26
real in ways that we don't understand or
00:35:30
perhaps Joe's dream is proof that
00:35:32
friendship transcends the limits of time
00:35:35
distance or
00:35:38
dimension for more than 3 years he was a
00:35:41
man without a past caught in the
00:35:44
unforgiving grip of Amnesia would he
00:35:47
ever find his true identity
00:36:03
imagine you are awakened by a stranger
00:36:05
on a distant roadside you have no idea
00:36:08
who you are where you are or how you got
00:36:12
there you're right man Chris Chris sound
00:36:17
like you know your
00:36:18
name he asked me who I was and what I
00:36:22
was doing here and I didn't have a clue
00:36:25
everything was blank from the moment I
00:36:28
saw his face and that was really scary
00:36:32
here let's lean you up against my pack
00:36:34
buddy come on I had a bunch of lumps on
00:36:36
the back of my head and there were
00:36:38
bruises inside my elbows like somebody
00:36:42
tied me
00:36:43
up what happened I don't know when I was
00:36:46
awake enough he told me that I'd been
00:36:49
saying three names Pat and Chris and
00:36:52
Joel and
00:36:55
uh that's how I got my name
00:36:59
basically he picked the name Pat and got
00:37:02
cleaned up at a local shelter then he
00:37:05
went to the police yes sir may help you
00:37:07
well I sure hope so uh I think I've been
00:37:09
hit on the back of the head I've got a
00:37:11
couple of big bumps back there but the
00:37:12
thing is I don't remember anything about
00:37:15
my life I don't remember my name or
00:37:16
anything do you have any identification
00:37:18
on you or no with your picture when I
00:37:20
woke up all I had was this comb in 23
00:37:23
cents okay a closer look revealed that
00:37:26
Pat had a callus on his ring finger
00:37:29
perhaps he had once worn a wedding band
00:37:32
can I get you to step around the corner
00:37:33
here please they took my fingerprints
00:37:36
but they didn't find anything evidently
00:37:39
I not wanted for anything and I didn't
00:37:42
match any missing person's descriptions
00:37:45
but I didn't have any more clues as to
00:37:48
who I was it's the worst case of Amnesia
00:37:51
I've ever seen by far we're not sure the
00:37:54
cause of his Amnesia he tells us that he
00:37:56
suffered an injury to the head and that
00:37:59
his memory for all events in his life
00:38:01
prior to that head injury are
00:38:04
gone Pat didn't know who he was but he
00:38:08
knew that he had to take care of himself
00:38:10
without identification he couldn't get a
00:38:12
job in Cheyenne so he set out for
00:38:15
Jackson Hull 450 Mi
00:38:19
away he had heard about work there that
00:38:22
did not require
00:38:26
ID Pat landed a job at a local newspaper
00:38:29
but even as he began a new life pieces
00:38:32
of his old life started to
00:38:34
surface one day out of the blue he
00:38:37
remembered a date December 31st
00:38:41
1949 could it be his birthday he called
00:38:45
Social Security but got nothing uh the
00:38:48
name I'm using is Pat Brown there is a
00:38:51
sadness about Pat there's something
00:38:53
missing and I know he feels it it's a
00:38:56
void it's a darkness that he can't see
00:38:58
through and I feel for
00:39:02
him gradually other cryptic Clues began
00:39:05
to
00:39:06
emerge one day at work I was adding up
00:39:09
the figures on one of the monthly
00:39:11
reports and somebody said how do you do
00:39:14
that I do what how can you run an adding
00:39:17
machine without looking at the
00:39:20
keys I don't know it it just just
00:39:26
does when Pat saw a movie that was set
00:39:28
in the city of
00:39:30
Chicago he was sure that he had been
00:39:33
there before all already I'll need to
00:39:34
see a picture ID please okay but without
00:39:38
a passport or driver's license Pat
00:39:41
wasn't allowed to board the plane not
00:39:43
being able to fly to Chicago was really
00:39:46
disappointing because that was a clue to
00:39:48
my past and I don't know of any other
00:39:52
quick way to get there Pat's true
00:39:56
identity remains a mystery but another
00:39:59
clue emerged a reoccurring dream might
00:40:02
be the key to the life he had
00:40:06
lost I'm in a shower it's like a
00:40:09
campground shower the little boy comes
00:40:11
running up and says Dad Dad Mom and
00:40:16
Chris need you I think Chris is hurt I
00:40:20
tell him okay Joel I'll dry off and be
00:40:23
right there and that's when I wake up
00:40:26
and it comes so often that I'm pretty
00:40:29
sure it's a memory and not just a
00:40:31
dream Chris and Joel were the names Pat
00:40:35
kept repeating when he was found by The
00:40:38
Hitcher I'm pretty sure I have a family
00:40:40
out there and I hope they love me and
00:40:43
miss me and want to see me back CU I I
00:40:46
know I i' love them of necessity I've
00:40:50
basically started over from scratch I
00:40:53
came to with 23 cents in a comb and now
00:40:56
I've got a little bank account and the
00:40:59
only thing that's really missing is is a
00:41:02
past and and the family I think I
00:41:06
had
00:41:09
update on the night of our broadcast we
00:41:11
learned that the man who had no name or
00:41:14
past turned out to have a family they

00:41:20
