00:00:00
[Music] this program is about unsolved mysteries whenever possible the actual family
00:00:09
members and police officials have participated in recreating the events what you're about to see is not a news
00:00:14
broadcast when a spectacular solar eclipse plunged much of mexico into darkness no one imagined that the event would
00:00:26
spawn an astounding wave of ufo sightings sightings experienced by thousands of eyewitnesses all across mexico
00:00:33
and captured on dozens of home videos on june 7th 1992 36 year old sammy wheeler was found shot to death in his
00:00:43
car and the small town of stanton virginia was overrun with rumors incredibly sammy's twin brothers sammy's
00:00:51
old girlfriend and her ex-husband are taking turns accusing each other of the murder
00:00:56
but still the question remains who killed sammy wheeler and perhaps someone watching can provide
00:01:04
a happy ending to the poignant story of gordon page jr only after years of misdiagnosis did
00:01:10
gode's parents learn that their son was suffering from autism then in 1991 gordy vanished from the
00:01:18
group home in which he had been placed jointly perhaps you may be able to help solve a mystery
00:01:48
[Applause] so [Music] [Music] usually when we hear that a person in some remote community is at a ufo
00:02:25
sighting we respond with a smile and a shake of the head when three or four credible people
00:02:30
report seeing a mysterious craft we may pay just slightly more attention but when thousands of people claim to
00:02:37
see the same strange object and hunters provide videotape evidence we may begin to think that maybe
00:02:44
just maybe there is more than a grain of truth to the reports which brings us to the fantastic saga of
00:02:50
the mexico ufos july 11 1991 the last total eclipse of the sun in this century perhaps the most spectacular celestial
00:03:03
event of the past 200 years for the residents of mexico city the eclipse prompted a festive celebration
00:03:13
thousands took to the streets as one of the world's largest cities was plunged
00:03:17
into total darkness in the middle of broad daylight no one imagined the entire country was
00:03:24
about to be swept up in a wave of ufo hysteria that afternoon a television executive
00:03:31
named guillermo araguin was videotaping the eclipse when he noticed an unusual object
00:03:37
overhead [Music] it was presented on the news it was said that a very strange object was over mexico city but nobody
00:03:46
said what it was when i saw it i said oh my god this is a ufo a real ufo i mean you can look at it you can look
00:03:55
the video and be absolutely convinced what are you looking at jaime moussan is one of mexico's most
00:04:03
respected television journalists for the past nine years he has produced directed and hosted mexico's edition of
00:04:10
60 minutes or sesenta minutos eight days after the eclipse jaime presented the aragine footage as
00:04:18
part of a special ufo broadcast the network was inundated with phone calls we asked the people in mexico to bring
00:04:27
or their videos to us because we like to see in if in the clips they had recorded the same stuff
00:04:33
the telephone lines blew up i mean 40 000 calls at the same time then the the system was completely shot out
00:04:43
we received more than 15 videos and we now know for sure that at least in seven of them
00:04:48
we can see the same exactly the same ship that was recorded by guillermo aragina
00:04:56
one of the many videos was sent by eric aguilar a 19 year old student at national
00:05:01
university of mexico he was setting up to film the eclipse from a rooftop when his girlfriend
00:05:07
spotted something unusual in the sky my girlfriend commented that it was a ufo we thought it was a joke
00:05:21
no one really believed her when she said she saw a ufo but within moments they all decided that
00:05:28
the object was not a joke at all at first all we saw was a white dot in the sky that's all we could see in the beginning
00:05:40
later we saw that this dot was shining brightly [Music] it must have been a very bright star and
00:05:51
we didn't realize it at first we didn't realize it until we saw the video tape
00:05:55
later we saw that this dot it wasn't a dot it was a larger object and it was giving off light it was
00:06:06
shining at virtually the same time 60 miles from mexico city a businessman named luis lara
00:06:15
photographed a similar object as i raised the camera you could see something in the clouds
00:06:24
and it was a metal object and it looked like it was made of two plates you can distinguish a dome
00:06:31
and it turned on its own axis it was silver plated a color like aluminum you could see clearly it's not a star
00:06:42
it's a ufo because it had a shadow in it if it were a star or a planet you you
00:06:47
would see clearly that it would be completely luminous but this one had a little shadow
00:06:51
underneath yet another video was shot by the bratan family in puebla a city 80 miles east of mexico city
00:07:03
[Music] magnifying the baton video revealed an odd wave-like disturbance behind the
00:07:11
pulsating disk perhaps some kind of energy trail jaime moussan enhanced the aragine
00:07:21
footage and compared it to the baton tape the objects the photograph nearly 100 miles apart
00:07:27
were remarkably similar in every aspect the video from puebla was absolutely identical to the one we had seen with
00:07:37
arregin in mexico it was for the first time in history never before we you had a tape of two ufos in two different
00:07:46
places at exactly the same moment the videos caused a sensation throughout mexico
00:07:53
but the ufo craze was just beginning two months later an engineer named vincente sanchez
00:08:02
took his video camera to a military air show in mexico city i was following one of the planes and i
00:08:10
saw a shiny dot in the camera i didn't know what it was but it seemed to be moving
00:08:16
it was undulating so i let the planes go off and i focused more on this shiny dot in
00:08:22
the sky [Music] what i saw was a bright round object about 10 meters in diameter it was made
00:08:35
of silver it was shining very brightly and reflected the sunlight a lot [Music] it didn't fly like a plane it was
00:08:46
undulated the object appeared undulated and moved around very quickly a year later a similar object was
00:08:55
videotaped at the same air show this time the disc descended rapidly and mysteriously disappeared
00:09:04
by the time the 1993 air show rolled around people anticipated another sighting sure enough just as a squadron of
00:09:13
helicopters flew by the familiar metallic disc appeared it was traveling against the wind so
00:09:22
much so that had been a balloon considering the force of the helicopter blades it would have crashed
00:09:29
it kept on its path very very straight and steady until it got lost in the sky optical enhancement of this video seems
00:09:38
to reveal that the object crossed in close proximity to the helicopters curiously the military has consistently
00:09:45
declined to address the matter the military hasn't made any comment on that sighting or any sighting
00:09:52
and there are many more where we can relate the military or military planes to videos and
00:10:01
however we haven't have any kind of answer from them since the eclipse in july of 1991 there
00:10:11
have been thousands of sightings throughout mexico there is no clear pattern although the
00:10:16
great majority have occurred in and around mexico city the witnesses range from pilots to
00:10:21
doctors to bus drivers and even school children [Music] these drawings are made by a class of
00:10:29
fifth graders who allegedly saw ufos in march of 1993 the pictures are strikingly similar in
00:10:36
detail three shining lights with the brightest light in the center [Music] the objects were silver with red
00:10:49
one of them was coming down and the other one that you could see in the sky was silver
00:10:59
when they were a little lower you could see the shape of the objects they were like saucers with the dome
00:11:06
everything's silver and though it was harder to see there seemed to be a kind of
00:11:11
reddish magnetic field we haven't found a single reason why these little kids
00:11:19
made this story up there were so many and when you talk to them you can feel the honesty that they trust me they're
00:11:29
just little kids they don't care about the ufo conspiracy they don't care about if they are real
00:11:35
or not they saw what they saw people really like ufos people really believe in ufos
00:11:44
and we are now convinced that we are living an incredible experience as a country as a society because it's
00:11:52
everywhere it's not just one people is many people with their eyes in the sky and a camera
00:11:59
in their hands now is the video era and the video is going to solve the ufo mystery are the mexico ufos real
00:12:10
it is difficult to deny the startling images captured on videotape though a determined skeptic would no
00:12:15
doubt find some basis to discount the entire episode but for those who have actually
00:12:20
witnessed the mysterious objects in the skies over mexico seeing is believing [Music]
00:12:30
next a bizarre murder mystery in which three people including the victim's twin brother
00:12:35
accuse each other of pulling the trigger on june 7th 1992 the george washington national forest in virginia was visited
00:12:53
by murder that morning the body of 36 year old sammy wheeler was found in the back seat
00:12:59
of his sport vehicle sammy had been shot six times in the head and upper torso both the local sheriff's department and
00:13:09
the fbi investigated they quickly determined that the killer had gone to great lengths to clean the
00:13:15
crime scene all shell casings and fingerprints had been removed and an amateurish attempt
00:13:21
had been made to destroy the evidence there was an apparent effort to try and ignite the uh the vehicle there was some
00:13:32
paper and tissue stuffed in the gas cap the gas cap had been opened and apparently
00:13:37
a cigarette laid there lit in an effort to try there was some burning around there but it
00:13:42
it didn't ignite and didn't take effect when investigators discovered that
00:13:48
sammy's wallet was missing the case took on all the earmarks of a random act of violence
00:13:54
but before long it would be revealed that at least three people in sami wheeler's life might have watered him
00:14:00
dead sammy's twin brother danny sammy's girlfriend pat snead and pat's estranged husband bob bean
00:14:09
[Music] what had begun as a routine investigation quickly became a classic drama of love lies and murder
00:14:17
in the months following sammy wheeler's death danny wheeler pat sneed and bob
00:14:22
bean took turns accusing each other of the crime in this bizarre and convoluted case the
00:14:28
principals agree on only one thing it all started when sammy wheeler began dating pat snead
00:14:38
in the fall of 1991 pat moved into a rental unit owned by sammy's twin brother danny
00:14:44
the property had been divided into separate apartments pat and her two sons lived in one
00:14:49
apartment with sammy danny lived in one of the others the arrangement suited everyone
00:14:55
except pat's estranged husband bob bean the situation was not really what was in the best interest of my
00:15:04
children i had approached patton and asked her to please stop this living arrangement here okay
00:15:16
we won't get into responses but uh anyway i felt that i was forced into going to court
00:15:24
to at least provide some kind or try to provide some kind of moral environment for my children
00:15:32
in february a court order was issued that prohibited sammy from being with pat in the presence of the boys
00:15:38
to comply sammy moved into his twin brother's apartment bob bean remained suspicious he hired a
00:15:49
private investigator to ensure that the court order was being obeyed bob's private investigator came in and
00:16:00
testified that sammy had violated the court's order sammy never found out whether or not the
00:16:06
judge believed that i know for sure sam did not violate that court order but just to be safe he stayed away from
00:16:13
the house then he was living in a truck without even a bathroom or a shower just to appease bob bean so where are
00:16:21
you gonna stay tonight probably just stay in the car i hate it when you sleep in the car
00:16:26
honey i can't give them any more ammunition they've already got i never harbored any ill will at all
00:16:34
towards sam people around here have a hard time understanding how a man can accept that his wife is leaving him for
00:16:42
another man well to be honest with you i knew what i had and i was thankful to pass it on
00:16:50
okay but after getting to know sam i found i kind of felt sorry for him and i wanted to sit down and prepare him for
00:17:01
what he was getting bob hated sam sam knew it and i knew it bob says otherwise because
00:17:09
i believe bob is a pathological liar sam expressed to me that he felt that my ex-husband bob was
00:17:19
capable of pretty much anything he did not trust him on june 3rd four days before he was
00:17:29
murdered sammy left danny's apartment at 5 30 a.m and chanced upon an unexpected
00:17:34
visitor bob bean's teenage son from a previous marriage come here what are you doing
00:17:46
just taking a few pictures yeah i see that you tell your dad i'm staying in the apartment okay
00:17:51
with danny i'm not in the house i'm not with pat i'm not with the kids
00:17:54
i'm with my brother in the apartment just like i'm supposed to be okay i'm
00:17:57
i'm just taking some okay we'll cut it out huh all right no more pictures got it no more pictures
00:18:02
all right i thought that was very very strange for somebody to be taking my twin brother's photograph at 5 30 in
00:18:09
the morning i didn't like it at all that saturday at around 9 15 p.m sammy set off for elk horn lake
00:18:20
approximately 40 miles from his house he planned to spend the night in his truck
00:18:25
and begin fishing early the next day 12 hours later sammy wheeler was dead i believe bob bean had a motive to kill
00:18:38
my brother pets divorce from bob was going to be final on tuesday they were going to be married on
00:18:45
thursday sammy was killed on sunday just by coincidence just by coincidence sure it was sure it was a coincidence
00:18:58
sure it was i'm michael jordan too i used to play for the chicago bulls go talk to the people who know me okay
00:19:06
and ask them if i was really upset if pat was leaving okay the answer to that is no
00:19:16
so there's no motive on the face of it bob bean was a perfect suspect but he also had what appeared to be the
00:19:26
perfect alibi when sammy was murdered bean was on maneuvers with his army national guard
00:19:32
unit the night that he was killed i was on duty until eleven o'clock that night now the death
00:19:42
certificate indicates the time of death at one o'clock the camp that i was at is about 150
00:19:50
miles away there was no way that i could physically get from the camp to the murder scene
00:19:59
in that amount of time to kill sam it's just physically impossible one of our men from our department at
00:20:05
the time was in the same unit and remember seeing bob there so things checked out pretty good for him
00:20:12
i feel like that bob being new just as soon as sam wheeler was found dead he knew they were going
00:20:19
to come knocking on his door so he knew that he better have his story right danny wheeler believes that bob bean
00:20:27
later gave the photographs that his teenage son took to a professional hitman you'd have to
00:20:34
pay for the hitman and the fbi investigated my finances and i i don't have quite what it takes to pay
00:20:44
a professional there was nothing at all to support the theory of bob hiring someone
00:20:54
that that just didn't go inward with the investigation in the end bob bean was cleared as a
00:21:03
suspect but the question remained who murdered sammy wheeler as far as alibis go the only one who
00:21:13
really doesn't have an alibi according to what she's told me is pat bob bean first began to suspect pat a
00:21:25
week after the murder when their sons ages three and four began talking about the crime scene in surprising detail
00:21:36
yes i know that some very bad guy shot sam he was in the trooper that's right he
00:21:42
was found in his car we went to the mountain you did when did you go to the mountains when
00:21:53
sam got shot at first i didn't think much of it but later on they started getting a
00:22:01
little bit more specific and offering a little bit more details and all of a sudden when they would come
00:22:08
to visit i noticed that they were exhibiting some definite behavior uh which was suggestive
00:22:17
that uh they were scared they were frightened okay now let me just make sure that the
00:22:22
camera's working all right bob bean was so convinced that he even videotaped his sons
00:22:28
and then presented the tape to the police who was there when sam died [Music] mommy mommy was there yeah
00:22:39
i believe bob is a very very sick man the fact that he would put his kids in the position that he has his little two
00:22:46
and three-year-old children at that time through what he put them through proves that he has no scruples
00:22:51
no morals he cares about no one now not even his own flesh and blood little infant children he is a sick sick
00:22:59
man you know in the end the police dismissed the boy's testimony as unreliable
00:23:06
investigators also believe that pat had an airtight alibi i'll see you later i'm gonna be in the
00:23:14
living room if you need anything so give me a call okay okay the night that sam was killed
00:23:20
i was at home alone with my two children i had absolutely no motive to kill sam wheeler
00:23:30
sam was sam and my children were my life and i planned for them to be for a long
00:23:36
time pat snead was eliminated as a suspect perhaps not surprisingly bob beam soon raised yet another
00:23:45
possibility there's only two things that can come between brothers twin brothers that i'm aware of it's
00:23:54
money and a woman that's all i got to say i you know i don't offer anything
00:24:04
i'll let somebody else make the accusations immediately after sam was killed um
00:24:11
the only person that i had in mind who i thought did it was my ex-husband i have since then
00:24:20
had time lots of time as you know to think about things that have happened and to wonder you know if somebody else
00:24:31
could have had a reason for wanting sam dead sam's brother danny may have wanted him
00:24:40
out of the way the reason for that i have been told is that danny was in love with me
00:24:47
pat says that shortly after sammy's death danny made a surprising confession
00:24:51
to one of her girlfriends she just said that danny wheeler told her that he was in love with me that he had
00:25:00
been in love with me for a long time that he thought about me every night that he wanted to hold me in his arms
00:25:07
every night there's not an ounce of truth in those allegations if she married my brother she was gonna
00:25:13
be like a sister to me and my family doesn't go in for incest she never once physically attracted me
00:25:26
even before sam got involved with her i didn't think she was a good-looking woman
00:25:32
on the morning of sammy's body was discovered his father and sergeant height broke the news to danny and pat
00:25:38
he's dead son oh no pat believes danny's hysterical reaction was a clever ploy
00:25:45
to hide the fact that he was the killer where'd you go get bobby he's trying to
00:25:50
help him out he's down the road don't you go get him you know it's him
00:25:52
not sure don't you go get him daddy dad i told you long ago it was bob he doesn't know we don't know anything
00:25:58
about beans get out of my way danny what this is not gonna happen i think most of his
00:26:04
behavior when he first found out that that sam was dead was a show was to make everybody else basically more than
00:26:15
likely the law enforcement people more than anybody else to think that he was feeling
00:26:23
some way that he wasn't i think he was putting on a show for them why is she lying it makes me wonder what
00:26:29
is she hiding it makes me wonder god knows what that did to me when my brother died
00:26:38
and why she would say things like that makes me wonder about her maybe bob bean didn't kill my brother
00:26:46
maybe it was pet that killed my brother as for danny the police confirmed that he also
00:26:54
has an alibi on the night of sammy's murder danny was seen bar hopping until the early morning
00:27:00
hours pat snead bob bean and danny wheeler would would not be considered any more
00:27:09
suspects uh in this case than um than anyone else at the at the present time they
00:27:15
they provided alibis we've corroborated them they've taken a polygraph they've shown no
00:27:20
deception uh they are no more uh of a suspect in in in our eyes than than anyone else at
00:27:28
the present time who killed sammy wheeler despite all of the accusations and denials
00:27:36
the fbi has concluded that sami was the victim of random violence the local authorities however believe
00:27:43
that sammy wheeler may have known his killer [Music] when we return a mother and father hope
00:28:16
you can help solve the mysterious disappearance of their son gordon page jr this is gordon page jr at 18 months of
00:28:33
age he was born autistic and the results were tragic not because of the autism but because
00:28:40
gordy was never correctly diagnosed his father gordon page senior remembers i guess maybe when he was real young we
00:28:51
thought something was wrong but we didn't know what he didn't walk like other kids and run
00:28:56
like other kids and as he got older you know he'd just sit there and look around
00:29:01
and didn't even move they always told us that he was the big boy he'd just be clumsy maybe but then he'd
00:29:09
outgrow it he didn't really seem unusual to us because that was our first child and we
00:29:15
just we just raised him like a normal child and he was slow that's what what we thought he was just slow
00:29:24
now gordon i'm putting five pieces of fruit on the table you see that one two
00:29:28
three four five how many pieces of fruit are on the table gordon five that's very good now i'm gonna take
00:29:35
the two apples away now look down here how many pieces of fruit are left on the table gordon
00:29:40
22. now gordon come on to his parents gordy was a paradox at times he seemed unable to grasp
00:29:46
simple addition and subtraction yet gordy had a phenomenal memory especially when it came to baseball
00:29:54
russ gibson batting average 193 who runs one the baseball cards he must i would say probably had 25 or 30 000
00:30:05
baseball cards and he knew the names of every player all the statistics of the cards
00:30:10
and he would just sit there and memorize him don money batting average 223 home runs seven i don't think that gordy
00:30:20
realized that he was slow in grade school he had a lot of friends and then as he got older in junior high
00:30:28
his peers started advancing you know getting ahead of him and when he needed tutorial help and he
00:30:34
had to go into a special ed room it bothered him and he had a hard time in 11th and 12th
00:30:41
grade because all his peers were dating driving cars going out and doing things and he was
00:30:46
much just a loner actually you know because he couldn't keep up with everybody who's passing him by
00:30:53
gordy worked hard to keep up in june of 1981 he graduated from high school his parents hoped he would be able to
00:31:01
hold down a job and eventually helped him apply for one at a local grocery store
00:31:06
then they held their breath and waited he said dad i got the job he said you know it's minimum wage 3.25 cents or
00:31:16
15 cents whatever it was but he said i start monday isn't that great and it made me feel so happy and i
00:31:22
dropped him off at work in the morning and i would hide where he couldn't see
00:31:26
me and it made me feel proud as a father to see him working and to see him happy
00:31:33
soon however the store manager reported that gordy although a conscientious worker
00:31:38
had trouble communicating with customers his dad tried to coach gordy at home using a video camera you're carrying the
00:31:46
groceries to my car now and i say thank you what do you say no you say you're welcome
00:31:52
okay let me let's do it again thank you what do you say if nobody says anything
00:32:00
then you don't just smile at them let's see that nice gordon page smile come on
00:32:03
it's worth a million dollars let's see it come on let's see it oh yeah if you smile at people like that
00:32:09
they'll just love it gordy's winning smile was not enough things didn't work out at the grocery
00:32:14
store and he was let go [Music] eventually both linda and gordon page worried sick about their son's future
00:32:24
met with social medias and asked for their evaluation of gordy's case well we're going to recommend that
00:32:35
gordon move to a group home i've taken care of gordy his whole life this is his home i don't think so
00:32:46
you folks won't be around forever at this point when you die gordon will be a lost soul
00:32:59
finally we agreed to try it and we went to visit a group home and the lady said well he can't stay
00:33:05
here until he goes to see if he needs to be stabilized on medication in the hospital
00:33:10
so we did this we finally agreed and the doctor there put him on ritalin and valium
00:33:16
and gordon wasn't gordon after that the combination of ritalin a stimulant and valium a tranquilizer
00:33:32
plunged gordy into another world of physical and psychological torment [Music] [Applause]
00:33:51
what is it [Music] son what i i feel like cats are scratching inside my brain [Music]
00:34:02
you feel helpless there's anything you can do and all i do is call a doctor and
00:34:06
tell him what was going on he said don't worry about it that's just typical for his illness
00:34:11
and it takes time for the medication to work and i said what is his illness and he said well whatever it is there
00:34:17
are signs of this and signs of that but nobody would specifically come out and say this is what's wrong with him
00:34:34
nearly five months gordy and his parents struggled with the medication where are we going just for the ride
00:34:43
finally the pages consulted another doctor who told him that the combination of ritalin and value was making gory
00:34:49
virtually catatonic in september of 1989 gordy's family moved to florida gordy stayed in michigan the preceding
00:35:01
spring he had been accepted at a highly regarded group home in grand rapids for several months all went well then
00:35:13
a near tragedy on november 29 1989 a workman left his truck running in the driveway
00:35:23
gordy heavily medicated couldn't resist the temptation [Music] [Music] so [Music]
00:35:54
[Music] oh my god are you doing look at my car we interviewed the lady who was a victim in
00:36:16
the accident she gave a subscription which fit on gordon our officers then received another call a call from one of
00:36:27
our elementary schools that a person fitting gordon page's description was at this elementary school wanting to
00:36:35
teach a class so we responded to there and at that time picked up mr gordon page
00:36:50
do you remember driving that truck over there yeah also you do realize you're involved in a
00:36:55
car accident later gordy would tell his parents that all he had wanted to do was visit
00:37:00
his younger brother away at college in texas gordon page gordy was subsequently placed in a county hospital
00:37:06
he was evaluated by psychiatric social worker bill arnold 16785 what he was brought in with label
00:37:13
schizophrenia what are you laughing about people their schizophrenic will with medication
00:37:20
over a couple of week periods usually they'll start to clear up in their thinking and their
00:37:23
their behavior will come in line and they they start getting back more to normal
00:37:28
uh with gordon that didn't work the more medication he got the more the at times he became almost mute and just
00:37:35
withdrew didn't do anything tell me about the voices that you told the doctor about gordon
00:37:40
i'm going home for christmas right yeah i'm sure that we'll be able to get you
00:37:44
out of here by christmas time after several months of intensive therapy with gordy bill arnold arrived
00:37:49
at a surprising conclusion he decided gordy was not schizophrenic after all but rather a high-functioning autistic
00:37:59
tell me about your baseball card collection gordon woody fry 1966 pirate rookie of the year pirate is he uh
00:38:09
your favorite player woody fry okay do you have other dalton jones dalton jones 1961
00:38:16
batting average 322. once we got him off all those medications and we started treating him as possibly
00:38:22
an autistic and working on training and just giving him some respect he was a totally different individual
00:38:29
just a totally different individual than that withdrawn acting out individual that we saw on medication
00:38:37
and we'll need you to sign this the pages were confident that gordy had at last been correctly diagnosed
00:38:43
soon they found a group home in grand rapids which specialized in autism but this says i can't visit gordon there
00:38:50
was only one drawback for two months no visitors were allowed while gordy adapted to his new
00:38:56
environment mr page i understand how you want the very best for your son and so do we we just want to give him
00:39:04
his best shot at integrating with the program here he's waiting for you on may 22nd 1991
00:39:12
gordon page senior was set to return to florida that afternoon he shared an emotional
00:39:18
goodbye with his oldest son [Music] hello gordon how you doing son we kind of stood there and talked and we
00:39:44
hugged and talked a little bit more and then we walked over to the van and i said everything's going to
00:39:51
work out [Music] gordy seemed desperate for his father to stay against his better judgment gordon page
00:40:11
did not open the door it was a decision he would come to regret it's very painful now in retrospect i
00:40:22
wish i had allowed him just to get in and crawl back and just driven right to florida
00:40:25
and come home but you don't think of those things and we didn't know what we were going to be
00:40:29
facing in the future the future came all too quickly four days after his father had left
00:40:37
gordy disappeared and orderly made the discovery during the regular midnight bed check
00:40:45
around an hour later a local fireman reported that he had seen someone who matched gordy's description
00:40:50
hitchhiking in the direction of interstate 96 an intense police search of the area
00:40:56
turned up no leads [Music] i'm angry i feel bad for gordon i feel bad as a parent
00:41:20
that i wasn't able to find help earlier that it had to be when he was 27 28 years of age that we finally found
00:41:27
out what was wrong we just want our son back we want to be reunited as a family and we love gordon very much
00:41:36
