00:02:51
jeff overholtzer i can only say that i didn't do anything matter of fact we had just planned
00:03:02
several days before that uh it was time for us to have children i miss my wife i did not kill her
00:03:10
bobby and jeff had been married for four and a half years jeff ran an appliance repair business and bobby worked as a
00:03:17
receptionist according to jeff the day of bobby's death began as usual she left home at 7
00:03:24
15 a.m and hitchhiked to work [Music] everybody hitchhiked you got to know the people in the town and they got to know
00:03:34
you and they'd look for you to take you over and back if you needed a ride at 6 20 that evening bobby called to
00:03:47
tell jeff that she was having drinks with friends after work at the pub for a while
00:03:52
is that all right she said she was at the village pub and she was with friends and she'd be home shortly no i'll get a
00:03:59
ride home with somebody okay bye so i proceeded to put supper on and uh and waited for her to come
00:04:11
i woke up about midnight and bobby wasn't home yet bobby and the bar's closed at two o'clock and it's only a
00:04:18
half an hour drive home so i thought well i'll give her that long you know maybe she's just about having uh kicking
00:04:24
up her heels just a little bit and forgotten about the time when she didn't come home after the bars closed
00:04:30
then i i really really knew that that something was not right at all jeff drove into breckenridge to look for
00:04:42
bobby her friends told him that she had left the bar around 7 30 p.m when jeff reported to the police that
00:04:50
bobby was missing they told him that it was too early to file a report finally he drove back home to wait for bobby
00:05:02
the next morning a farmer who lived 30 miles outside breckenridge found bobby's
00:05:07
driver's license on his property when jeff and two friends went to pick it up they made a disturbing discovery
00:05:16
oh wait wait i think i see something over here i spotted a blue spot in the snow and
00:05:22
her backpack was blue and so we stopped yeah this is bobby's backpack she wore this when she left
00:05:33
with the backpack was one of bobby's gloves spattered with blood and several
00:05:38
bloody tissues jeff's friends helped organize a search two hours later they found bobby's
00:05:46
lifeless body more than 15 miles from where her backpack was discovered at the scene police found three
00:05:55
intriguing clues the only footprints near the body were bodies a plastic cord was tied around one of
00:06:04
her wrists and the single orange sock was found nearby the same day bobby's body was found
00:06:12
another woman annette k schnee was reported missing annette was a cocktail waitress in
00:06:20
frisco colorado and like bobby often hitchhike to work from the start police believe that the
00:06:26
two cases were connected when i first asked jeff if he knew annette schnee he denied it it was
00:06:34
several days later after seeing her picture in the newspaper that he came to me and said that he did know annette and
00:06:40
that he had offered to me that he gave her a business card jeff claimed that he had once picked up
00:06:47
a net when she was hitchhiking jeff said he had given a net his business card but that he had never seen
00:06:57
or heard from her since that day okay well i'm not gonna work it right now annette's body was found six months
00:07:05
after she disappeared police were stunned when they discovered she was wearing the other
00:07:12
on the side the fact that two victims would both be associated or known by one individual
00:07:28
makes the investigation tend to focus on jeff oberholtzer as a primary suspect authorities pieced together a scenario
00:07:38
for the two murders annette schnee was last seen in breckenridge at 4 pm in a serious
00:07:45
conversation with a dark-haired woman police believe that around 5 pm she left to hitchhike home
00:07:55
[Music] the killer drove 20 miles south of breckenridge he took a net down a short dead-end road
00:08:07
she was then either made to this robe or the man himself undressed her sexually assaulted
00:08:15
and then allowed to get dressed while she was getting dressed she apparently found one long sock put
00:08:25
it on and couldn't find the second long sock she then put a booty on her other foot
00:08:31
and her boots on she apparently escaped and while running away was shot in the back
00:08:45
police believe the killer then drove back to breckenridge and found his second victim bobby oberhotzer
00:08:52
where you headed just over the past alma great i'm going past alma the killer drove bobby 10 miles south of
00:09:02
breckenridge to a scenic overlook where he apparently attempted to rape her we believe that during the fight and the
00:09:14
subsequent escape by her from the vehicle that the booty came out with bobby joe
00:09:20
she escaped from this guy and ran down the highway toward her home and was apparently again
00:09:28
uh contacted by the guy and confronted with uh a weapon i don't want to whatever happened at that point uh
00:09:42
the guy ended up shooting her twice as she turned away from him my wife wouldn't have gotten into a vehicle
00:09:49
with uh with just a couple strange uh guys plus the uh the fact that we had communicated she
00:09:58
knew that she could call for a ride if she wanted to no i'll get it right home
00:10:01
with somebody okay i think she knew someone and that they they left together with
00:10:08
a promise to her of taking her home two months after his wife was murdered jeff oberholtzer took a polygraph exam
00:10:17
and passed from day one jeff insisted that he had a rock solid alibi joe you got two choices
00:10:26
according to jeff at the time the murders were committed he was at home visiting with a friend but jeff was
00:10:33
unable to produce the witness for police then finally jeff's friend surfaced
00:10:39
nine years later when we interviewed the friend a few months ago he stated that he had been at
00:10:45
jeff's house that night however the times that he gave us did not match up with the times that jeff
00:10:52
had given us as far as the finger being pointed at me i'm still very very angry
00:10:59
about that they had different agencies had pursued different avenues and not concentrated so much on
00:11:11
trying to find me guilty we may have found out who has done this to these girls update
00:11:19
there are new developments in this case and here's one of our staff with details
00:11:25
jeff oberholzer is no longer a suspect in the murder of his wife bobby joe or annette k schnee
00:11:32
in 2021 genetic genealogy led to the arrest of a mechanic named alan lee phillips who was seen in the area at the

00:13:28
won't name the brand i loved them all but i had tried numerous other kinds of
00:13:35
ways of smoking cessation and they had not been successful and i thought i have nothing to lose
00:13:42
miranda went to boston for a session with euphine and smoked what she hoped was her last cigarette
00:13:49
okay okay be brave be brave be brave because what we have to do is we have miranda joined others looking for a cure
00:13:55
to their chronic pain or addiction eupheme held a group healing followed by individual readings

00:14:47
you to do is to think in your mind the first very first puff of cigarette that you take in miranda's private session
00:14:53
they discussed her 20-year addiction to cigarettes some people say he sort of sneezes on
00:14:58
you which is not what he does at all he kind of gives you this parting gift after her session miranda's desire for
00:15:08
cigarettes was gone she claims the craving stopped i was somehow profoundly changed
00:15:15
i just know that i'm greater than this habit at this point so it cannot move in
00:15:22

00:15:29
addiction overeating for weight loss i help dramatically i remove desire to eat whatever you want i remove desire
00:15:37
tweaking between meals i remove desire to eat big portions etc etc but excesses i cannot do instead of here
00:15:44
when family stress and financial pressure got to be too much louise cold began overeating
00:15:52
i would actually hide food just just for emergencies for me and because i knew that it did comfort
00:16:00
me so after things were quiet and everything was taken care of instead of falling apart emotionally and
00:16:05
exhaustedly crying or you know just falling to sleep i would go to the kitchen and bring out my goodies louise
00:16:13
tried to stop binging but she could not louise decided to take a chance with yuffie
00:16:20
after her first session she felt great and within three months saw positive results
00:16:27
i had lost 17 pounds and now it's down to 20 pounds eufane caught the attention of two
00:16:34
harvard university doctors who agreed to do a clinical trial the goal was to examine eufem's success
00:16:41
rate two psychotherapists asked yfin to come and work with a number of patients of theirs whom they had treated
00:16:50
without success these were people with fear of needles phobias smoking pain they first observed the healing sessions
00:16:59
are you actually a doctor no i'm not a doctor the doctors kept track of the trial
00:17:04
group for four months anybody have questions for me nobody questioned he saw all of these patients
00:17:11
and managed to cure 85 of them tell me about the tetanus shot well when i went into the doctor's office i wasn't
00:17:18
nervous at all i had no fear of the needle when the harvard doctors studied what he had done
00:17:25
they were able to conclude that he had not hypnotized anyone no no it wasn't like hypnosis at all in
00:17:31
fact they weren't really sure what he had done they just knew that whatever he
00:17:34
did it worked when the harvard trial was published the study concluded that euphem's powers
00:17:42
were genuine the harvard study at most shows that there is some real effect here most
00:17:50
probably a placebo effect and when they state that something real happened they don't mean real psychic power or
00:17:58
anything like that but that a real mental power in the in the patients themselves happened
00:18:04
i don't think yephem has any special power at all other than the power to convince people that they can implement
00:18:10
change in their own lives i don't think anybody knows how it works i just know
00:18:13
that it does work and i've been very successful with it you may go see him and say i don't
00:18:20
understand a word this man says i don't know what he's doing you can be suspect or you can say you
00:18:26
know what i go around once what do i have to lose during some 30 years of practice eupheme
00:18:35
has seen more than 135 000 patients many swear that they have been healed by him but skeptics claim that his miracle
00:18:45
cures are nothing more than the power of suggestion the truth well that remains an unsolved mystery
00:18:59
next a young woman looking forward to her wedding day vanishes without a trace richmond indiana
00:19:18
it was a hot and humid day when 28 year old marilyn nicki mccomb stormed into her mother's kitchen
00:19:25
these two guys at the laundromat would not leave me alone she just was really upset
00:19:30
and i laughed at first you know because she's such a pretty girl i just thought
00:19:34
that some man was making a play you know i said nikki just calmed down because she
00:19:41
really was really upset nicki may have been upset but police believe she returned to the laundromat
00:19:48
anyway no one knows for sure because on that muggy summer day nikki disappeared and
00:19:55
she hasn't been seen or heard from since police had trouble believing that nicki
00:20:01
would take off just three weeks before her wedding they suspected foul play but without a body and with no apparent
00:20:09
motive they had nothing to go on it was a complex puzzle with pieces that simply
00:20:15
did not fit so you guys are gonna get fitted for your tuxedos today yeah the day she
00:20:20
disappeared nikki set off to do the laundry while her fiance bobby webster met his best man to be fitted for their
00:20:27
tuxedos the wedding day was just three weeks away she spent so much money put so much into
00:20:35
this wedding she wanted it to be the most perfect wedding she wanted her face to be perfect her hair to be perfect her
00:20:42
body to be perfect she wanted everything to be perfect but nikki's wedding was not to be
00:20:49
ever since she disappeared her family and police have been trying to figure out what really happened
00:20:56
i'm just going to borrow this real quick police believe that if nicki returned to
00:21:00
the laundromat she may have been confronted again by the two strangers what have you seen nikki the day after
00:21:09
nicki's disappearance bobby contacted richmond police to report that his fiancee was missing yeah i tried them
00:21:17
but nothing filling all that information that missing person's report was very
00:21:21
difficult it was because a situation like this you just see happening on like a tv movie or
00:21:27
something you never really think in your wildest imagination you'd be in that
00:21:31
situation until it it really happens and it's it's really confusing shortly after nicki disappeared bobby
00:21:38
began acting very strangely instead of postponing the wedding he cancelled it entirely demanding a full
00:21:46
refund from the reception hall next bobby tried to return his wedding band for cash your policy clearly states
00:21:54
that if i bring back the ring and the ring is not damaged sir but the manager refused
00:21:59
nikki had paid for the ring and her name was on the receipt allegedly the argument nearly turned
00:22:05
violent i'm gonna have to ask you to leave bobby had to be escorted from the store
00:22:12
bobby's reason was that he needed the money to help pay for nicki's search
00:22:18
i was to the point where it's like you know it doesn't matter right now this
00:22:20
wedding doesn't matter nikki's well-being is what matters right now detectives weren't convinced they asked
00:22:28
bobby to take a polygraph at first he refused but later said yes one of the questions
00:22:35
that was asked to mr webster was did you have anything to do with the disappearance of nicki mccown
00:22:42
and he says no and according to the operator the needle about jumps off the chart
00:22:48
so not only did he fail it i mean he failed it miserably bobby doesn't believe that he failed a
00:22:54
polygraph neither he nor his lawyer have ever seen the results i just said look you ain't got to give it to me to send
00:23:01
it to my lawyer but they don't do stuff like that around here that's what they told me
00:23:09
nikki have been gone for three months before detectives got their first break in the case
00:23:14
her suv was found at a large apartment complex in dayton ohio 45 minutes east of her home in indiana
00:23:23
police believe it had been there for weeks the door lock was punched out the ignition had been hot wired and the
00:23:30
stereo was missing we kept getting told by the police you know we got to locate this truck it's
00:23:37
the big piece of the puzzle and when they located it it was a little relief that now they can find nikki
00:23:47
an important clue was left in nicki's suv neatly folded laundry the clothes appeared that they'd come
00:23:55
just from the laundromat they were folded neatly they hadn't did not have the appearance that someone
00:24:01
had went through the clothing or taken any of the items if nicki had been abducted from the
00:24:06
laundromat why would her clothes be neatly folded in the back seat of her suv and who drove her car from richmond
00:24:14
to dayton police were surprised to discover that nikki had an ex-boyfriend who lived in
00:24:21
the same apartment complex where her suv was found i talked he was very cooperative
00:24:28
we checked his alibi we found out he was at work the time that she was reported missing he agreed to take a lie detector
00:24:34
test and come through it fine so we we could eliminate him as a suspect i don't know what else to tell
00:24:42
you another dead end however police later discovered that nicki made a phone call to dayton the
00:24:49
day she disappeared it's nikki to a co-worker who lived about a mile from where her suv was found
00:24:56
do you know where i can find them they talked about beauty products and her friend told nikki where she could
00:25:02
purchase the items that she was looking for in dayton this leads us to think that
00:25:07
we've got two different scenarios something happened to her over here in richmond indiana or
00:25:13
she drove over to ohio and something happened to her over there now there was another theory
00:25:20
if nicki drove to dayton something may have happened to her on the way but if so
00:25:26
how did her suv end up in the parking lot where her ex-boyfriend lived was it simply a coincidence
00:25:33
i find it hard to believe and then if it's not coincidental then what better way to to throw the
00:25:39
suspicion off of somebody's over here in richmond that theory leads police right back to
00:25:46
bobby webster and his strange behavior right after nicki disappeared i love bobby to death there's no way
00:25:54
he'd do this he'd have to be the devil himself to be able to walk around here
00:25:58
still see us face to face you know i mean everybody has their limits nikki's mother however isn't so sure
00:26:05
about bobby there's a wise old woman once told me keep your friends close and your enemies
00:26:11
even closer so i stuck with him like glue because i figured if bobby did do this
00:26:17
or if he knew anybody did do it he would come to me police continue to follow up on other
00:26:25
possible leads while also keeping a close eye on bobby webster i believe that based on all the
00:26:33
information we have so far that if mr webster did not have anything to do with the disappearance of nicki mccown he
00:26:39
does know quite a bit about what did happen to her i don't know anything about
00:26:46
nikki's disappearance or whereabouts have nothing to do with it i mean i love nicki moore and i love
00:26:53
myself and all i wanted to do was just be the best man i could and you know it feels unfair that
00:27:02
i'm in the situation that i'm in now just because i love so much you know
00:27:06
i just understand it nikki mccown is 5 feet 2 inches and weighs 115 pounds she has brown eyes
00:27:14
brown hair and a small scar over her left eye if you have any information about this
00:27:21
case please log on to our website at unsolved.com next a father wanted for the murder of

southampton new york 21 year old nancy heyer and 19 year old billy fisher met by chance
00:27:55

00:28:00
the verge of tears billy stepped forward and offered to help nancy escorting your
00:28:05
home to hicksville long island nancy thought billy was a really nice guy she did say to me he's
00:28:13
starting to look at me like a girlfriend kind of thing and i don't like him that
00:28:17
way but she didn't want to hurt his feelings because he was so nice on a stormy night three weeks after they
00:28:24
met nancy got a call from billy nancy told her sister deborah that billy needed a ride home from his father's
00:28:31
house in southampton about 65 miles away and i said i can't believe you're going

to drive in this weather you don't even like to drive at night and she says well he's done so much for
00:28:42
me that i'm going to just go nancy's mother joan was also concerned as i saw my daughter drive away i was a
00:28:53
little fearful myself worry just mother's worry that's enough when nancy hires set off for southampton
00:29:04
she had absolutely no idea that she was headed straight into a family conflict that would turn violent
00:29:10
and deadly when nancy met billy he was deeply in debt and seriously ill with cystic
00:29:18
fibrosis i may speak to william fisher please billy hadn't spoken with his father in
00:29:23
over a year but he decided to ask him for help hello hi dad he was employed by a
00:29:31
well-to-do car dealership in manhattan and the city of new york was making a very high salary the
00:29:37
investigation determined that he began and had been using a cocaine extensively to the point that
00:29:43
it affected his performance at his place of employment billy's father invited his son to visit
00:29:49
for the weekend to discuss his money problems hey billy how you doing the day after billy arrived he called
00:29:58
nancy and asked for a ride home that night nancy's mother waited anxiously for her return
00:30:06
the clock was going twelve o'clock one o'clock two o'clock she might have had to stale because of
00:30:12
the weather or the time of night but then i still kept hesitant because i said she would never
00:30:20
not call me yes well i know she's 21. could you please next morning still no
00:30:25
nancy joan and deborah began to panic the police couldn't help because technically

00:31:11
nancy somewhere else if i hear anything i'll give you a call he seemed very forthcoming

taken her somewhere and done something the next morning there was still no word from nancy
00:31:33
jones filed a missing person's report but with no proof of foul play police were unable to help
00:31:42
joan had nowhere to turn so she called the last person who saw her daughter alive william fisher mr fisher
00:31:50
uh could you go over step by step exactly what happened during the call he became confrontational they came over he
00:31:57
would fly off the handle and tell me let the police handle this i have no idea where these kids went and he was
00:32:05
getting very very hostile over the phone goodbye so i kept getting more suspicious of mr
00:32:15
fisher ten days after nancy disappeared police responded to a report of an abandoned
00:32:22
car in a parking lot less than two miles from fisher's house coming back to that missing girl nancing
00:32:31
higher see if you can pop the trunk oh my god sorry located in the trunk of the car was a
00:32:40
young billy fisher a second body was located on anything and that was young nancy
00:32:47
the autopsy reported that billy had been shot 18 times the vast majority of those rounds were
00:32:54
in the head at close range nancy's autopsy revealed that she had been stabbed twice with a very long
00:33:01
sharp instrument around that same time police received reports from neighbors that fisher had
00:33:08
been remodeling his master bedroom in the middle of the night well you can see it's been freshly
00:33:16
painted police secured a search warrant [Applause] slight indentations were observed from
00:33:24
the section of wall and it was removed two 22-caliber bullets were recovered a single strand of hair was fused to one
00:33:34
of the bullets it was identified as billy fisher's that established that this was the crime
00:33:41
scene additional testing established that there was a large amount of blood splatted all about the halls of the
00:33:47
hallway consistent with an individual nancy being stabbed in that area immediately outside the master
00:33:54
bedroom that means the evidence pointed directly to william fisher what could have driven him to shoot his
00:34:02
own son 18 times and then murder a complete stranger that's the same as always it's always about money isn't it
00:34:10
it's you you you constantly all the time i can't um imagine a parent killing their own child
00:34:26
and then taking someone else's child that they don't even know anything about
00:34:34
i just can't still today believe that anything could happen like this before a murder warrant could be issued
00:34:43

00:34:50

00:35:33
next a lost orphan is reunited with two brothers after more than 30 years memphis tennessee
00:35:52
in 1949 the tennessee children's home society was considered a model orphanage
00:35:59
director georgia tan placed 5 000 orphans with new families and won national praise for her efforts
00:36:07
but georgia 10 had a very dark side when i was growing up i was told that i was adopted from memphis tennessee
00:36:17
i found correspondence from the tennessee children's home two and a half years later
00:36:24
i found my name two hours later i found my mother cindy lou presto also discovered that
00:36:32
her mother had never put her up for adoption the stunning truth georgia tan had simply
00:36:40
kidnapped cindy [Music] good morning children when authorities investigated tan they discovered that
00:36:50
she and a custody judge named camille kelly we're using the orphanage as a cover for a black market
00:36:59
i'm confident that camille kelly was involved with georgia tan in this operation georgia tan could not have
00:37:06
carried it on without her and camille kelly could not have lived in the style she lived unless she had
00:37:12
outside income three days after robert taylor presented his report to the governor of tennessee
00:37:19
georgia tan died of cancer two months later judge camille kelly resigned the tennessee children's home society
00:37:29
was out of business but today hundreds of stolen children are still searching for their natural parents
00:37:38
update as the result of our broadcast another child from the tennessee children's home
00:37:45
society has been reunited with her family glenn heinz was five years old when she
00:37:52
was adopted i was adopted into a very very fine family but there wasn't a lot of love in the
00:37:59
family and even though you know you try to make the adopted child part of the family you're always still just a little
00:38:08
bit different and so it meant a great deal to me to find that i really had a true family
00:38:14
lin was born martha jean googin and placed in georgia tan's orphanage in 1949
00:38:21
three weeks after our broadcast lynn learned that her father and two brothers paul and randall were still living in
00:38:28
tennessee one of the things that i had been fearful is that the family did not want
00:38:33
me to find them when i did finally get hold of randall reynolds said if you don't come here
00:38:37
we're coming there like tomorrow lin flew to tennessee the next day it had been 40 years since she had seen her
00:38:46
brothers she walked all the plane i knew she was just like that well she spitting image of her mother
00:38:54
a very spitting image that afternoon randall and paul tookman to meet their 86 year old father
00:39:02
rufus goocon it's just like yesterday you know somebody to love be loved by that you never had before
00:39:12
i would have to say that this is like christmas new year's everything rolled up into one
00:39:18
when i found the family i felt like i was queen for a day and it's all nine years
00:39:29
they call them amazons fierce female warriors who dominated men most believe that amazons are nothing
00:39:37
more than myth but now scientists working in russia have found the remains of what could be
00:39:43
a tribe of these female warriors contrary to popular belief the legend of the amazons did not originate in south
00:39:53
america but in ancient greece it said that amazons loved battle and were not allowed to marry until they had
00:40:02
first killed an enemy the greeks used the amazons as the antithesis of what a greek woman should be the
00:40:11
greek woman should stay at home take care of the kids take care of the house and the amazon went out and fought the
00:40:16
greeks and so therefore she got her got what was coming to her when she was killed
00:40:22
janine davis kindle and a team of american and russian archaeologists have spent four years excavating iron age
00:40:30
burial mounds in southern russia that date from the 4th century pc most scholars believe that early nomads
00:40:38
were male-dominated tribes the men were the leaders the warriors and the priests
00:40:44
but these graves tell a different story we have women with weapons women who are actually
00:40:53
controlling wealth we have a different concept entirely of what we think of nomads
00:41:00
the grave of one young woman contained artifacts that proved she was much more than an ancient housewife
00:41:08
she had a quiver by her side that had a lot of bronze arrowheads in it she had a dagger
00:41:15
on the other side and then there was this large boar's tusk that was drilled
00:41:19
and it was probably suspended around her waist from a cord another woman was found with a bronze
00:41:26
arrowhead embedded in her body a sign that she probably died in battle who were these women warriors
00:41:35
are they in fact the source material for the legendary amazons we've scientifically proven that there there
00:41:44
were women warriors number one number two we also now realize that women have not always been at the bottom of the pit
00:41:52
and can control their own lives and and and be like a woman warrior the legend of the amazons lives on the
00:42:02
amazon river is named after them california takes its name from an amazon queen khalifa
00:42:10
and in television reruns the mythic story of the warrior princess continues to be told
00:42:18
