stick around i'm dennis farina and for the next hour this is unsolved mysteries
00:01:12
[Music] albuquerque new mexico 10 45 p.m eighteen-year-old caitlin arquette has just finished dinner with a girlfriend
00:01:40
she told us she'd had a big fight with her boyfriend she was breaking up with
00:01:44
him and she was going to a girlfriend's house for dinner and she would either spend the night
00:01:49
there or come back and spend it at our house she was not going to go back to the
00:01:54
apartment a little bit before midnight the phone rang it was phone call from the
00:02:15
emergency room of the hospital they said kate is there that she's been injured and i said
00:02:22
what's happened and they said we can't tell you on the phone so my husband and i drove to the
00:02:27
hospital and kate had been shot twice in the head she was in a coma five hours later police arrive at kate's
00:02:36
apartment her live-in boyfriend is home alone seemingly unaware that his girlfriend
00:02:42
has been shot and is close to death with the albuquerque police department just like come in talk to you a minute sure
00:02:48
what's this about caitlyn's boyfriend told me that he had been out with a
00:02:52
couple of friends uh they had eaten they played pool and they had a couple of drinks a couple buddies of mine while i
00:02:58
was there on myself and the other detectives we discovered a note on top of the kitchen table and the note read
00:03:03
something to the fact hun i'll be home at a certain time that sort of thing caitlin she left that for me
00:03:13
when the police leave the apartment kate's boyfriend goes straight to the hospital and joins her family at her
00:03:19
bedside but by the next day caitlin arquette is dead six months after caitlyn's murder police
00:03:29
concluded that she had been the victim of a quote random act of violence but her mother
00:03:35
refuses to accept that ruling she is convinced that her daughter was executed by a hired assassin
00:03:43
[Music] we're all set no questions asked two and a half months before she was
00:03:51
killed caitlyn and her boyfriend took a trip to southern california apparently kate had become involved in a
00:03:58
complex insurance scam [Music] one of our daughters told me that that march a couple of months before the
00:04:08
boyfriend had staged an accident a fake accident in a car that kate had rented for him
00:04:17
with our credit card the scam was reportedly set up by a vietnamese gang everyone involved in the accident would
00:04:28
complain of soft tissue injuries to their neck and lower backs and were later treated by a doctor who was also
00:04:35
part of the fraud ultimately a law firm in orange county california handled all the insurance
00:04:42
claims kate and her boyfriend received fifteen hundred dollars as their share of the
00:04:49
settlement everything went well it was a major multi-million dollar insurance scam
00:04:59
all of a sudden there was another element there something that suggested a possible motive
00:05:05
because if kate was breaking up with her boyfriend at that time then maybe maybe
00:05:10
she was a danger to the people who had arranged this a few weeks after kate's death her
00:05:19
mother made a disturbing discovery three calls have been made from kate's apartment at almost the exact time
00:05:27
that she died in fact they were made just minutes after she was pronounced dead when her
00:05:33
boyfriend was with us at the hospital and the apartment should have been unoccupied
00:05:40
the number turned out to belong to a vietnamese paralegal in orange county and it was the same paralegal who set up
00:05:49
the car wrecks lois asked the local crime reporter mike gallagher to investigate
00:05:59
lois wanted me to look into caitlyn's relationship with a boyfriend lois felt that there had been uh some
00:06:07
real problems and that the police had failed to to take a look at it mike first spoke to kate's former
00:06:13
landlord i had the impression from neighbors that caitlyn was more afraid of her
00:06:20
boyfriend's friends rather than her boyfriend she would get disturbed when they only
00:06:26
spoke vietnamese around her the friends caused friction between her and her boyfriend and she did not like his
00:06:33
friends well if they're your friends how can you let them treat me so long things were
00:06:38
much more stormy than we had ever guessed and it wasn't just a little lover's spat there was something very
00:06:44
major happening in kate's life after she moved in with her boyfriend and she told us she was very sorry that
00:06:52
she had ever let him move in with her it had been a big mistake she wanted him to move out so her girlfriend could move
00:06:59
in instead mike gallagher was able to obtain a copy of the note that police believed kate
00:07:05
had left for her boyfriend on the day of the shooting he compared it with another sample of
00:07:11
her writing it was obvious just by comparing the handwritings of the note with caitlyn's writing that she did not write
00:07:20
that note that led me to believe that within hours of her shooting her boyfriend was
00:07:27
already lying to police the landlord also told gallagher that on the night caitlyn died three of her
00:07:36
boyfriend's associates were in her apartment drinking kate's mother is convinced that one of
00:07:42
them made the phone calls to the law firm in orange county who in the world would wait in that
00:07:49
apartment to call orange county to say she's dead to call that particular paralegal
00:07:56
none of that makes sense to us was caitlin arquette executed because she had learned too much about the
00:08:04
insurance scam i don't think that the vietnamese connection is related to this case thus
00:08:09
far i have not received any information and to indicate positively that the vietnamese is involved in this
00:08:17
homicide police were going in a completely different direction six months after the murder an informant
00:08:26
led police to a young man named juvenal escobar the arcade girl the university girl again they discovered that escobado
00:08:34
had recently sold his brown chevrolet camaro they became suspicious [Music] on the night of the murder a truck
00:08:44
driver had reported seeing a braun camaro chasing a young woman in a car similar
00:08:52
[Applause] in the end however the charges were dropped because police could not connect
00:09:05
juvenile with the shooting we certainly appreciate you coming in and talking finally under pressure from
00:09:12
kate's family the police questioned her boyfriend again this time he admitted that he and a
00:09:18
friend had taken part in the insurance scam but charges have never been filed against him or any of his friends
00:09:28
nor is he considered a suspect in kate's murder no she never tried to throw me
00:09:33
caitlyn's boyfriend's friends were involved with large-scale organized criminal activity
00:09:40
in los angeles and multi-million dollar insurance frauds i don't think the police ever took that
00:09:48
seriously there seems to be two viable theories about who killed caitlyn she was either the victim of a random
00:09:58
shooting or she was executed to keep her from exposing the insurance scam our family doesn't have any real idea
00:10:08
who pulled the trigger on kate the one thing we feel very strong about is that she was not shot randomly as just people
00:10:17
out on a spree having fun shooting a pretty girl in a red car we believe kate was killed because she was going to talk
00:10:24
was going to expose illegal activities involving her boyfriend and his companions
00:10:31
update there are new developments in this case and here's one of our staff with details
00:10:38
in 2021 paul apodaca who was being held on a parole violation confessed to multiple homicides and sexual assaults
00:10:46
including the murder of caitlyn arquette he is charged with the murder of althea
00:10:51
oakley and remains behind bars while investigators work to confirm his involvement in caitlyn's murder
00:11:00
next georgia rudolph is haunted by dreams and memories from another time and possibly another life
00:11:18
marietta ohio georgia rudolph describes a startling dream [Music] i feel the cold
00:11:34
i feel the night i smell the horses i smell the leather i can feel the girl but it feels like myself
00:11:46
climbing on this carriage and going down the road and i can hear the sound of the horse's hoofs
00:11:58
the dictionary defines reincarnation as quote the rebirth of a soul in a new body what
00:12:06
is reincarnation possible and can anyone actually prove that they lived a previous life
00:12:12
well georgia rudolph believes that she can there was a little girl and a younger
00:12:19
woman in all of george's visions the time and the place are not familiar sometimes they appear as dreams but more
00:12:28
often not as distinct memories they describe events that she hasn't experienced
00:12:36
at least not in this life there never seemed to be a common denominator of what would trigger off
00:12:44
the memories as a child i don't think there was a month that went by that i didn't have
00:12:52
either memories or dreams georgia was only five when the memories began feast draw a picture of this girl
00:13:09
i also drawn a picture of a house since i was five and then the house would go with the girl
00:13:18
and if i didn't get her right i would erase her or tear it up and start all over again
00:13:26
i knew exactly how this girl was supposed to look i have always known that face as georgia grew older the incidents
00:13:39
became more frequent often they were no more than a quick flash but all of her visions seem to come from
00:13:48
the distant past from the early 1900s there were no cars or planes but there were repeated images of paddle
00:13:58
wheel steamers which georgia in her own lifetime had never even seen it's not like a childhood memory
00:14:07
it feels different it's like taking a picture from my mind projecting it on a screen
00:14:17
and just replaying it over and over a river played a large part in george's dreams
00:14:29
so did a young man dressed in a brown suit wearing a derby hat sometimes he was alone
00:14:36
sometimes he was with the girl and always there were the images of a horse-drawn carriage
00:14:43
on a cold winter night when georgia first contacted me i felt it might be something like an early
00:14:53
traumatic childhood memory that she was trying to remember or re-experience or possibly could be an aspect of a
00:15:00
multiple personality where she was imagining herself or experiencing herself to be someone different which
00:15:07
sometimes happens in these cases other than that the reincarnation was probably the last thing in my mind about
00:15:13
what had happened to her so we're going to go through a procedure this evening dr douglas smith began
00:15:20
regressive hypnosis with georgia this type of therapy allows the patient to go back in time but still remember
00:15:28
everything i'd like you to take a very slow deep breath for our story georgia agreed to
00:15:34
once again undergo hypnosis he asked me a question and referred to me as georgia i remember
00:15:44
very vividly saying i don't know who you're talking to and he said well if
00:15:51
this is in georgia then who is it and i remember saying my name is sandra jean jenkins
00:16:05
and what year were you born sandra 1895. georgia came to believe that the face she had drawn so many times had a name
00:16:17
sandra jean jenkins this was the girl in her memories and her dreams [Music] in further sessions georgia filled in
00:16:28
the details of her visions she could now clearly see sandra jean on a paddle wheel steamer
00:16:35
one of the men on the boat was the young man in the derby hat his name was tommy hicks
00:16:42
he and sandra were sweethearts the sessions also revealed that the two of them were about to be married
00:16:53
georgia seems to me a very down-to-earth person and it surprised me when she came out with
00:17:00
the amount of emotion and affect and details that she did under hypnosis when this came out
00:17:07
not only did i feel i was crazy it scared me to death it went against everything
00:17:14
that i have ever been taught as far as religion goes she is very sincere in her belief that
00:17:21
she actually subjectively experienced all the things that she has experienced in that past
00:17:27
life that she described she's not faking or pretending it is a real experience for her
00:17:35
were the visions that haunted georgia rudolph for more than 30 years proof of reincarnation
00:17:43
[Music] coming up georgia finds unexplained connections between her dreams and the
00:17:51
real life of sandra jean jenkins [Music] for more than 30 years georgia rudolph was haunted by dreams of a girl named
00:18:06
sandra jean jenkins under hypnosis she was repeatedly drawn to the town of marietta ohio
00:18:22
georgia decided to visit hoping to see if there was any truth to her dreams georgia arranged to meet with a reporter
00:18:31
named ted bauer he was a lifelong resident of marietta and had worked for the local newspaper for 32 years
00:18:40
when george arrived in marietta i said i'll take you around and show you some
00:18:44
of the places you talked about over the phone and she says no i'll show you where to go
00:18:49
i remember this place ted was amazed when georgia stopped in front of an insurance company and began
00:18:56
describing the interior of an ice cream parlor the ice cream parlor had closed in 1937
00:19:05
11 years before georgia was born inside it was it was like red and i remember even
00:19:12
white she described interior red white almost perfectly and it was i checked this with the son of the man who had run
00:19:19
it for years in a way it seems crazy but what do you do she was accurate about her
00:19:25
descriptions i was just baffled by her she has some kind of power some way of knowing what happened in the past
00:19:37
i don't know what the power would be but she hasn't when i began to understand that i was
00:19:42
being 100 correct there was a fright but there was an excitement that was starting to build in me
00:19:55
it was like this is really real i really was this girl despite her vivid memories georgia could
00:20:08
find no record whatsoever of a sandra jean jenkins in marietta and so she continued her search five
00:20:15
miles to the north in the small farming town of newport ohio and you guessed it she knew her way around this town too
00:20:30
[Music] the first thing i saw when entering newport was a big gray house it sent chills
00:20:41
through my body this is my house this is where i lived i could see a room and i knew that this had been
00:20:54
her bedroom this was the house that sandra had lived in throughout george's life one dream had
00:21:10
always stood out as more haunting than all the others in it she saw sandra jean as a young
00:21:17
girl alone on the steps of a church in the dream i know she has to walk exactly two blocks
00:21:27
and she's standing in front of a cemetery and there's a path that goes off to the
00:21:34
right and it curves and twists in different directions and then the path eventually straightens
00:21:41
out when she gets to the point where it straightens out she's on the side of a hill
00:21:48
looking down on a grave which i know to be her grandmother's grave but i'm never able to get the name off
00:21:57
of the headstone because it's that point that i wake up in newport georgia found the church from
00:22:08
her dream perhaps now she could find out the identity of sandra jean's grandmother
00:22:16
i walked the two blocks that i knew i had to walk in my dream and i found myself in the cemetery
00:22:23
and i started walking this path and as i walked it it began to dawn on me this is the path
00:22:31
in my dreams and when i stopped where the dream stops i was looking down on the grave
00:22:40
that i knew to be my grandmother's and it said mary bevin green and i finally
00:22:53
got a name the gravestone provided the missing link to the house georgia had seen in her
00:23:00
dream [Music] in the early 1900s this house had been the home of the green family
00:23:08
they had also owned the fleet of paddle wheel steamers that worked the ohio river
00:23:14
now the story of sandra jean jenkins and tommy hicks became clear want you to allow yourself to go back a
00:23:24
little bit further under hypnosis georgia recall that just days before sandra jean and tommy were to be married
00:23:31
he was swept overboard in the storm on the ohio river his body was never found sandra jean jenkins was left alone and
00:23:40
to her family's dismay she discovered that she was pregnant with tommy's child
00:23:47
mommy's gone i don't want to be here mama will never forgive me i want you to move forward in time
00:24:05
you are now at the river and i want you to describe to me what you did then i take my locket off
00:24:18
and i slide into the water i walk i walk where are you buried they put me up on the hill
00:24:36
close to the family but my wits are family georgia is convinced that because sandra
00:24:43
jean took her own life she was buried in an unmarked grave a few feet away from her grandmother
00:24:51
under hypnosis georgia said that from sandra jean's grave you can see an angel
00:24:57
with one arm raised up when she looked south from mary green's grave georgia saw the statue of an angel
00:25:07
its right arm extended upward george's discoveries in ohio do seem convincing
00:25:15
but is there any real proof that sandra jenkins or tommy hicks ever existed georgia couldn't find a record of tommy
00:25:24
but she did find his parents when i was under hypnosis i had said that tommy's parents names were tom and
00:25:34
jenny hicks that in 1906 there is a farm registered to tom and jenny hicks in newport ohio
00:25:45
georgia also located the green family's nearest living relatives who gave her
00:25:50
evidence that sandra jean jenkins actually existed they brought out a picture taken in 1908
00:26:01
it's a family reunion picture and the girl that i call sandra that i have drawn my entire life is
00:26:10
standing in that picture there was a statement made by a member of the family i don't know this girl's name
00:26:22
but i know she drowned out back of the house [Music] in the family photograph the girl from
00:26:31
george's dreams seems to be standing slightly apart from those around her the photograph includes a roster of
00:26:39
names every single person is identified except the girl georgia recognized as sandra gene
00:26:49
in terms of whether reincarnation is a real fact or not as a scientist i don't know i want proof
00:26:57
i'm a doubter but as a human being i would love to have it be the truth i believe
00:27:06
that reincarnation is real [Music] but i'm not sure what reincarnation is i know there's something
00:27:16
to it i have had an experience that a lot of people don't get to have my logic
00:27:26
oftentimes will tell me no this isn't real but my heart tells me yes it is could the story of sandra jean jenkins
00:27:40
be the result of an overactive imagination or is it proof of reincarnation or maybe
00:27:48
it's something else something we can't explain next a serial rapist who brought terror
00:28:00
to a small college town is finally back behind bars texas a m university with more than 45 000 students this
00:28:20
campus provided the perfect cover for a serial rapist he hid his violent intentions behind a
00:28:27
normal college life on the night of the first attack he was just the jogger who looked like any
00:28:36
other student when the jogger ran by the victim he ran out of sight then turned around came back she didn't
00:28:44
feel at that time that that was really strange because of the fact that there are a lot of joggers that go to a
00:28:49
certain area they'll turn around and come back and they may come back the same way or they may continue a
00:28:53
different route hey hi chilly evening tonight yes the suspect kept telling the victim to
00:29:05
do what he told her to do he also kept that knife within her sight and she had every
00:29:12
indication at that point that he would use that knife on her 30 minutes later the rapist disappeared
00:29:22
into the shadows university police soon released a composite sketch and a character profile
00:29:29
of the suspect he was probably a college student he would strike again he would use that
00:29:36
knife we had to catch this guy we had to identify him we had to find out where he was and we had to
00:29:43
prevent him from performing another sexual assault the profile was right on target three
00:29:53
months later the knife-wheeling assailant struck again [Applause] from nowhere she said a knife appeared
00:30:09
and was placed against her throat he threatened her he told her that if she screamed he was going to kill her
00:30:16
and therefore she comply with his instructions he then took her to a nearby field there
00:30:22
was about five foot tall grass and he had already matted down a six foot diameter area so the grass was real
00:30:29
low which is where he then sexually assaulted her the site was chosen but not necessarily
00:30:35
the victim he just waited for the right one to come by and then took her to the location that he was he had already
00:30:41
prepared this composite is based on the second victim's description when compared with the first drawing
00:30:50
investigators knew that a serial rapist was stalking the campus we became very concerned that if it was
00:30:59
indeed the same person if he had committed one and committed a second there was most likely going to be a
00:31:05
third and a fourth and so on until he was stopped authorities covered the campus with
00:31:11
posters however the description could have fit almost any male student straight hair not curly
00:31:22
young not old white not black a lot of people end up saying yep looks like just any regular person
00:31:31
even the second victim that i had interviewed in depth she made the comment to just looked like a clean cut
00:31:36
student the critical break came from the first victim when 10 months after the assault
00:31:44
she stopped for groceries at a local market have a good day thanks howdy how you doing
00:31:54
hey fine thanks this is a knife [Music] the young woman was convinced that she was now face to face with the man
00:32:13
who raped her that'll be 42-57 please can i write you a check sure [Music] can i see your driver's license please
00:32:30
driver's license [Music] yeah thank you excuse me hey you forgot something police soon learned that the clerk's
00:32:57
name was don richard davis jr he was scheduled to graduate from texas a m in just three weeks
00:33:08
detective villarreal this is detective lynn holmer with the texas a m university police department hi we're
00:33:13
investigating the two rapes that took place on the campus last year your name came to us to look alike yeah his
00:33:18
demeanor his posture even his physical continence was very timid very sheepish but interesting enough we started to
00:33:28
really study that picture and look at him he started to really look in those eyes
00:33:33
they didn't match the sheepish behavior we had seen the eyes ended up reflecting
00:33:39
a very thoughtful aware focused individual when this photograph of davis was shown
00:33:48
to the second victim she also identified him as the rapist dna evidence was the clincher
00:34:00
davis was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault you to let me call my parents
00:34:07
he was released on 150 000 bail and ordered to stay with his parents and observe a 10 p.m curfew
00:34:17
but six days before the start of his trial davis did not come home update soon after our story aired don richard
00:34:31
davis jr was arrested by police in cleveland ohio davis pleaded guilty to two counts of
00:34:38
aggravated sexual assault he was sentenced to 99 years in prison and will not be eligible for parole
00:34:46
until 2013. [Music] coming up an aviation expert believes he has solved the mystery of amelia
00:34:57
earhart's final flight celine county arkansas on a hot august evening don henry and
00:35:16
kevin ives set out for some night hunting along the railroad tracks behind don's home
00:35:21
[Applause] four hours later the engineer of a freight train traveling at more than 50
00:35:27
miles an hour spots what he thinks are two people stretched across the tracks and i started laying down on the diesel
00:35:36
horn [Applause] and i got no reaction not at all not so much as a flinch dan and kevin were lying parallel on the
00:35:56
tracks they were partially covered by a light green tarp and beside them lay down's 22 caliber rifle
00:36:04
after a brief investigation the state medical examiner ruled that their deaths were accidental
00:36:13
to prosecutor richard garrett the death of don henry and kevin ives looked like murder
00:36:20
he received permission for a second autopsy this time the results reveal that kevin
00:36:26
had been stabbed in the back by a large knife and don had been hit in the face with a rifle butt
00:36:35
garrett now believes that both boys were either unconscious or dead before the train ever hit them
00:36:43
i think that the boys saw something that they shouldn't have seen and it had to do with drugs either
00:36:50
with a crank lab which manufactures methamphetamine are certain individuals involved in
00:36:58
those matters and and those people felt like that the information that the boys then had

find tiny howland island in the south pacific a massive search turned up no trace of
00:38:52
emilia fred or their airplane they were officially declared lost at sea [Music] one year after we first broadcast the
00:39:09
story aviation researcher richard gillespie called the press conference he claimed to have found physical
00:39:16
evidence proving that amelia earhart and fred noonan died on a small island waiting to be rescued

island located 420 miles from holland island earhart's original destination among the items that gillespie displayed
00:39:48
were these tattered remnants of a shoe allegedly worn by earhart he also found this piece of aluminum
00:39:58
which he claims came from earhart's lockheed 10 electric the rivet pattern is the same
00:40:07
if richard gillespie is correct then the final chapter of amelia earhart's story
00:40:12
can be written however gillespie's evidence has been questioned by several experts
00:40:20
elgin long a noted historian ann earhart biographer was asked by gillespie to study detailed measurements and
00:40:28
photographs of the wreckage long and his team compared the evidence with an airplane identical to a
00:40:36
milliards we made a template that was the exact same size and had all the rivet holes in
00:40:43
it just like the fragment that was found on nicomaroto we put this template up to the bottom of
00:40:49
the airplane and we compared the rivet lines with the rivets on the actual airplane before you notice that there's
00:40:54
no row of fasteners they didn't match at all also notice that there was rivet holes
00:41:00
where there shouldn't be any rivets and there weren't rivet holes where there
00:41:03
should be rivets algen long compared the template to nearly every section of the airplane
00:41:10
no match could be found yeah there's no way that piece could have come from a lockheed 10 or amelia
00:41:17
earhart's airplane richard gillespie claims that the rivet patterns don't match because repairs
00:41:24
were made to earhart's plane during her first attempt to fly around the world
00:41:30
a lockheed engineer ed werner disagrees he argues that all repairs made on earhart's plane were done to strict
00:41:39
factory specs the repair had to be exactly per the engineering orders but at first i was
00:41:49
kind of happy that this controversy was over with him very disappointed now [Music]
00:41:58
from the conclusion that it can't be part of her airplane richard gillespie stands by his claim
00:42:07
that the fragment he found came from amelia earhart's plane but aviation experts disagree
00:42:16
for now at least the legendary disappearance of amelia earhart remains an unsolved mystery
00:42:56
