00:00:28
practical jokes he calls himself Pat Brown he was found by the side of a road dazed and

[Music] s c D Roy the US Virgin Islands this popular vacation spot is Paradise to more than 1 A2 million
00:01:37
visitors from the United States each year but even Paradise can have a dark side control this is 5 Echo reporting
00:01:49
the traffic accident in Gallow B vicinity of just after 9:30 p.m. police arrive at the scene of what was reported
00:01:57
as a minor traffic accident they find a local woman Rada Maharaj apparently suffering from internal
00:02:05
injuries she would die on the way to the hospital 16 Mi away another body is discovered the dead man is Christo
00:02:17
Maharaj rav's husband the clothing of both victims is saturated with seawater
00:02:25
$25,000 in cash that the couple had borrowed was missing and the cause of both deaths cyanide
00:02:33
poisoning make a total of five cyanide victims in the last four years authorities suspect that all of the
00:02:42
deaths are linked to voodo contrary to popular belief there is nothing inherently Sinister about
00:02:52
Voodoo it is a blend of Roman Catholicism and African tradition practiced mainly in Haiti and Louisiana
00:03:00
curses hex's Effigy dolls and Potions are more often a part of obia an underground form of sorcery that is not
00:03:10
connected to Voodoo police in St Croy now believe that the five cyanide poisonings were
00:03:20
the work of a master KH he practices obia but pretends to use Voodoo he lures his victims into a vicious web of Deceit
00:03:31
and murder R and krishn doth were both born in the Caribbean their parents came from
00:03:43
India the couple ran a small grocery store kata's two daughters from her first marriage helped with the
00:03:50
business we were paying our bills and we didn't have food to eat were all well we
00:03:55
were strong and healthy and we were all working hard especially my mother see you
00:04:01
soon several months before they died they took out a loan to expand their store they soon found themselves in
00:04:09
financial trouble I've got the loan no I don't want to talk about the loan all right
00:04:15
time they were very tense and especially when I spoke to my mother about what they were doing she didn't like for me
00:04:21
to ask her all those things and she tried to um answer me as quickly as possible and try to change the subject
00:04:29
I'm sorry I couldn't meet last week something else was wrong according to
00:04:35
their daughters the maharaji had been receiving mysterious phone calls from a strange man but they wouldn't talk about
00:04:43
it usually I answer the phone and this man would ask to speak to my stepfather as soon as I gave it to him he would ask
00:04:49
me to go outside because he had something private to discuss yes uh $25,000 then 3 weeks before the maharaji
00:04:59
died they brought home $25,000 in cash borrowed from R's relatives she told us that this is what
00:05:09
they had to pay to the gentleman so I asked her well why she said well don't
00:05:14
ask me any questions by Monday you will know what it's all about but by Monday
00:05:20
Rada was dead on the previous Friday she left home without explanation for her to actually go out alone is
00:05:32
something very strange for me and for her to go out at night that is even more strange because she didn't ever go
00:05:38
anywhere at Night [Music] Never 30 minutes later krishn doth drove off in the opposite direction presumably
00:05:50
to meet the mysterious Man 2 hours later R's car coasted to a stop near a local Beach
00:06:02
Beach her dress was soaked with seawater she was unconscious and near death but there were no outward signs of struggle
00:06:11
or Foul Play 16 M away krishn doth was found Lying by the side of a beach front Road
00:06:22
he was dressed only in a pair of shorts which were also soaked with seawater once again there were no signs
00:06:30
of Foul Play the police told me that they believe that Mom tried to commit suicide
00:06:38
probably because she and my stepfather had quarreled about something so very big that there was no way they could
00:06:44
patch it up that is nonsense autopsies of the bodies revealed that they had both died from
00:06:52
cyanide poisoning oddly another s Croy couple edel stridden and Carman Torres had
00:07:03
recently died under similar circumstances etel and Carman had owned a small neighborhood
00:07:11
[Music] bar like the maharaji they also took out a loan to expand their business
00:07:20
$54,000 in cash come on honey we got to go at dusk etel and Carmen left their home in their
00:07:29
pickup truck truck their daughter later recalled that her father had slipped a small bottle into his pocket before he
00:07:36
left it was the last time she would see her parents alive Carmen Torres was discovered near
00:07:46
death less than a half a mile from the spot where Raja Maharaj had been found she too would die on the way to the
00:07:56
hospital etel stridden was found dead head in his truck on a nearby Beach both Carmen andel's clothes were also soaked
00:08:05
with seawater and both had died of cyanic poisoning plus the $54,000 in cash was
00:08:15
missing the four deaths were clearly related and were linked by investigators to yet another previous cyanide
00:08:23
poisoning the first victim was 38-year-old heg Caesar 2 years earlier another car
00:08:31
another strange death a young girl on her way to school found he in his car that had apparently run off the
00:08:40
road hey Mr your car he too had been poisoned by S it he appeared to be dead for several hours there was no
00:08:49
indication of f play or any struggle and we later found out that he had made contact with an individual that might be
00:08:58
involved in voodo what he said is that the men had told them that they were three large
00:09:05
jars of coins buried on the property that we owned and that the coins were being guarded by Spirits ancient spirits
00:09:12
and in order to get those coins they would have to get rid of the spirits I can't feel something Jumbo's presence
00:09:18
really here I can't feel it there's a lot of gold on this land before his death heg apparently paid
00:09:27
$100,000 in cash to obia man who claimed that he could remove the evil spirits all right don't worry about that I'll
00:09:35
come up with the money when I found out about all the money he was borrowing and
00:09:38
all the cash that he had taken out of our accounts and everything without even letting me know I really was very angry
00:09:44
about it um and shocked overall just shocked that he would have taken it so far on the night he died police believe
00:09:52
heg returned to the spot where the obam man had said a treasure of Priceless coins was buried the OB a man Scamp
00:10:00
called for him to drink a potion that would drive away the spirits guarding the coins that potion turned out to be
00:10:14
cyanite by the time hag's body was discovered the next day both the obia man and the
00:10:21
$100,000 had vanished I knew that he was aware of OB and Voodoo I mean most people who live in the islands are I
00:10:29
thought he was smart enough intelligent enough aware enough to know that you know it wasn't
00:10:35
real we all five deaths the work of an obia man I have a poor son was the man who promised bury treasure to heg Caeser
00:10:45
the same man who telephoned the maharaji 25,000 you got to go was he also the man
00:10:52
OS stridden and Kon Torres went to meet on the night they died the similarities in all three cases go far beyond mere
00:11:01
coincidence it's very hard to understand why people would want to cheat and kill and if somebody doesn't find him
00:11:11
then I don't believe that there is any justice in this world the man who has murdered five
00:11:18
people on St Croy is believed to travel throughout the Caribbean and even into the United States He Speaks with a heavy
00:11:27
French West Indian accent if you have any information about this case please log on to our website at
00:11:35
uno.com next on the night her parents were murdered a teenage girl and her friend
00:11:56
go Venita Oklahoma a small small rural town in Craig County Ashley Freeman turns sweet 16
00:12:07
it's a night of celebration for her parents and for her best friend Laura Bible Laura she said to me Daddy is it
00:12:15
all right if I spend the night with Ashley to the Freeman's home I said well
00:12:19
said just make sure you're home by noon tomorrow and uh noon tomorrow didn't
00:12:24
happen the way it should have sometime during the night the Freeman's home became an
00:12:36
[Music] Inferno by the time Laura's parents arrived the fire is out but Ashley
00:12:47
Freeman's home has been reduced to ashes there's a car Laura's car is still there
00:12:54
but there is no sign of their daughter Jay and Loren vial fear the worst we did find one body but it's not Laura I the
00:13:03
county coiner told me that there was only one body is all they found I said have they found any any anybody else and
00:13:10
she said no we've looked but there's no other bodies there the body is Cathy
00:13:15
Freeman the mother of Laura's best friend Ashley but where are Ashley her father
00:13:23
Danny and Laura Bible we only had one body accounted for could find no others yet we had all the cars there at the
00:13:31
house that was that was a little bit bizarre and no one could quite piece two and two together on that it didn't make
00:13:35
any sense one person dead and three missing the case became even more baffling when
00:13:45
the coroner determined that Kathy Freeman did not die in the fire but from a shotgun wound to the head and then the
00:13:53
arson Squad concluded that the blaze was deliberately set Laura and Ashley had been best friends
00:14:02
since kindergarten Laura and Ashley call each other at least once a week what one
00:14:07
was thinking the other was thinking it's kind of like when two people one can
00:14:10
finish the sentence when the other one starts one the day after the fire Laura's
00:14:16
parents returned to the crime scene they had hoped to find a clue investigators missed oh no after only 5 minutes line
00:14:24
come here quick it was more than a clue it was body burned almost beyond recognition but it wasn't Laura or
00:14:34
Ashley it was an adult male he did not have anything from the upper teeth all the way to the top of his head was
00:14:42
totally gone like he'd been shot in the face we just couldn't believe that they
00:14:46
had overlooked a second body in this fire the body was identified as Danny Freeman Cathy's husband and like Kathy
00:14:56
he had been shot at close range with a shotgun investigators reexamined the crime scene no other bodies were found
00:15:07
but they did find one important clue Laura's purse Laura's purse honey in it
00:15:14
were her driver's license and nearly $200 in cash why would Laura leave her purse
00:15:23
unless she had been abducted I feel that somebody had went in there for whatever
00:15:28
reason mured Denny and Kathy and took the girls the Craig County Sheriff's Department tried to piece together what
00:15:39
happened the night of Ashley's birthday if it had been a robbery the purse would have been taken and if
00:15:48
murder was the motive who had reason to kill Dany and Kathy Freeman Ashley's
00:15:54
parents Dany himself may have had the answer which he revealed to his brother DNE listen
00:16:00
Dwayne if anything should ever happen to me I want you to take a look at the Sheriff's
00:16:07
Office Sheriff what he put his finger in my face and he said if anything ever happens to
00:16:15
me look at the sheriff's department and he was serious he was in my face to drive it home with me for months it had
00:16:23
been rumored that the Craig County Sheriff's Department was feuding with the Freemans it all began when Danny's
00:16:30
son Shane was shot and killed by a deputy after he had stolen a truck and a neighbor's gun Shane's killing was ruled
00:16:38
justifiable but the Freemans threatened to file a wrongful death lawsuit against
00:16:43
the sheriff's department some say that the deputies started to intimidate the Freemans get
00:16:51
out of the truck Danny what is this about this is about you looking all over town for he was basically told according
00:16:58
to Danny that they could do anything they wanted to to him and his family and there wasn't a thing he could do about
00:17:02
it you're taking yourself out of the investigation when Danny and Kathy Freeman were found dead the Craig County
00:17:09
Sheriff's Department voluntarily turned the case over to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation they also
00:17:17
consented to polygraph tests then all cleared themselves as a result of those examinations the overall
00:17:25
conclusion of our efforts was that the Sheriff's Office had nothing to do with
00:17:28
the murder of Danny and Kathy and did not know the whereabouts of the two missing
00:17:33
girls another possibility according to an informant Danny Freeman met with two unidentified men a couple of weeks
00:17:42
before his murder one was clearly unwelcome what's he doing here we just got some things we want to talk about
00:17:49
some people said that Danny was a smalltime drug trafficker him I'm not dealing with you while he's here so you
00:17:55
can just take off Danny could a drug deal gone bad have resulted in a double murder if you wanted to consider that it
00:18:03
was drug related and Nothing fits correctly the very last thing that the people who committed the murder would
00:18:09
want to do would be abduct the children there is another possibility perhaps the most disturbing theory of
00:18:17
all Ashley Freeman murdered her own parents and then fled with Laura there was a great deal of friction in the
00:18:25
Freeman household Danny and his daughter did not get along well and all Haden for
00:18:29
some time that's something we can't Overlook I find it difficult to believe
00:18:33
that the girls by themselves could hide out that long and not be found Jay and Loren Bible were left with
00:18:41
only unanswered questions where were Laura and Ashley and why had they left we have come to the conclusion that
00:18:49
Laura is in the wrong place at the wrong time I do feel that she's still alive
00:18:53
but whether she's alive or dead I want to know you know we love her dearly and
00:18:58
wish we could have her back wish we could have both the girls back cuz at this point I take and raise them both
00:19:03
and never let them go update there are new developments in this case here's one of our staff with
00:19:12

00:20:04
slippery kman who eludes authorties over and over [Music] again the Hawaiian island of Maui a man
00:20:22
arrives at a local bank and introduces himself as Papito Deion I've been name
00:20:28
representative to my aunt's estate and what I like to do is take the funds from
00:20:33
her account and open up a new account in addition to the $52,000 from her account
00:20:37
i' like to deposit this check also do you have some identification and also there was

00:20:50
hour we'll be all ready for you to go when you come back okay great I guess I'll see you in around an hour yes
00:20:59

00:21:07
you're under he's arrested on suspicion of forgery at first Maui police have no
00:21:15
idea who they have in custody the suspect carries 15 identification cards each with a different
00:21:23
Alias but eventually their prisoner is identified as The elusive con man known as Todd
00:21:31
Mueller Todd Mueller specialized in forging court documents he used them to steal money from the Estates of people
00:21:39
who had recently died Mueller was also something of a practical joker he enjoyed taunting anyone who tried to
00:21:46
keep Todd Mueller Behind Bars Honolulu Hawaii hello my name is Clara hi Clara how are you I'm Arthur IA
00:21:56
only a few months after his arrest in Maui Todd Mueller was out on bail and back on the scam this time he was
00:22:04
calling himself Arthur Iona we think Todd Mueller looked in a newspaper from there he would get names
00:22:12
of deceased persons their accounts being in Probate Court he would then go over to the coping machines located right in
00:22:18
circuit court and he would make up letters of administration naming him the trustee for the
00:22:26
account I've been a personal representative to the the estate of George mlin and what I'd like to do is
00:22:31
take the funds from this account and open a checking account in my name may I see some ID
00:22:36
absolutely 3 days after he opened the account rer returned to the bank in Honolulu and withdrew More Than
00:22:44
$31,000 This instantly aroused the suspicions of the bank manager who acted quickly she called me to tell me that
00:22:52
she thought these probate documents were false she described the individual to me
00:22:57
I immediately thought Todd Mueller Todd Mueller detective thego finally me hi you're under arrest for
00:23:05
forgery chance be on your back after the arrest detective nobriga went to the home address that Mueller had given him
00:23:13
once he was sure that Mueller lived there noga left to get a search Point meanwhile Todd Mueller posted bail and
00:23:22
was gone but not out of touch Todd Mueller calls me in my office he tells me you don't have to make any search
00:23:30
warrants just come over to my house and I'll let you look around but Todd Mueller had cleared out
00:23:37
of his house I just kind of smiled and thought well he's leading me on a wild
00:23:42
goose chase and where was Todd Mueller living it up 5,000 m away in an exclusive Hotel in Chicago hi it it's
00:23:54
1720 want a paper tonight tomorrow I'm not sure when not be checking out Mr Mueller we became suspicious of Mr
00:24:02
Mueller he had very suspicious looking people coming to the hotel and he was uh giving large sums of money uh to them
00:24:11
and I informed the front office manager that we should not extend this day the hotel's booked that's
00:24:18
correct are you sure there isn't some mistake I've been here all week I'm
00:24:21
afraid not Mueller however wasn't quite ready to leave he simply called the hotel's reservation service and booked
00:24:30
another room across the hall that irked me to say the least and at that point that's when I felt that we should take
00:24:38
some sort of action Pat amiano searched Mueller's vacated room he found several discarded
00:24:46
checks which later proved to be forgeries amiano also discovered that Mueller had placed several calls to
00:24:53
Honolulu Hawaii he called one of the phone numbers and it happened to be my office
00:24:59
I think he just has this pension for uh making everyone chase him around you know Pat Amano called the police when
00:25:08
they arrived Mueller wasn't around but his cmate from Hawaii Roy Hartsock was
00:25:15
authorities discovered that heart Sox's release documents had been forged by
00:25:21
Todd mure you have any identification yeah Todd Muer Chicago ped and you're under arrest once
00:25:31
again Mueller was in custody but this time there would be no bail you have the right to remain silent anything you say
00:25:38
tad was praed around town prior to his arrest pretending to be someone other than what he was committed several
00:25:43
burglaries stole meil opened bank accounts and attempted to withdraw a sum of $24,000 from one
00:25:50
account Roy Hartsock was returned to Hawaii to complete his sentence Todd Mueller was booked on charges of forgery
00:25:59
fraud and robbery he was held in the Cook County Jail pending trial but Mueller had one more trick up
00:26:07
his sleeve after 6 months behind bars he told guards that he had swallowed a razor blade he was immediately rushed to
00:26:16
an emergency room Mueller was handcuffed to his hospital bed a guard was posted outside the door but it didn't do a bit
00:26:25
of good authorities still and explain how Mueller got away I don't particularly enjoy what he's doing but I
00:26:34
just think what he's doing is silly you eventually he's going to get caught
00:26:41
update as predicted Todd Mueller was caught again this time in New Jersey and now he was using his real name David
00:26:51
Livingston Livingston Alias Mueller Alias Pepito Deion Alias Arthur IA was tried and convicted of wire fraud he was
00:27:02
sentenced to 11 years and 3 months in prison coming up a man's Vivid dream of
00:27:11
being in prison by enemy soldiers comes true for one of his best [Music] friends on a previous broadcast we
00:27:27
featured a murder in Athens Georgia during the early morning hours a stranger entered the home of a
00:27:34
restaurant owner named TK hardy hardy was apparently the victim of a contract hit the prime suspect in the case was
00:27:44
John money a rival restaurant owner who had a long running Feud with Hardy have you all
00:27:52
decided police learned that a man named Elmo Florence had bragged about killing TK hard
00:27:58
you're a what I'm a hit man yeah and said John money paid him to do it Elmo
00:28:05
Florence was convicted of first-degree murder John Mooney was also convicted of first-degree murder and was sentenced to
00:28:13
life in a Maximum Security Prison but 3 months later he was transferred to a minimum security
00:28:21
facility and escaped update Scot Dale Arizona within minutes of our broadcast two viewers called us
00:28:33
to report that John Mooney was living in this house under the assumed name Robert
00:28:39
J Kelly John money Alias Robert Kelly was arrested at his home by the Mesa Police
00:28:46
he had been working as an accountant for several companies in the Scottsdale area over 9 years after he escaped John
00:28:54
money was returned to Georgia he served his time and has been released at one time or another most of
00:29:08
us have had a dream so intense so vivid that we felt it had to be real few though have ever discovered that the
00:29:17
dream actually was real even fewer have had the spying tingling experience of the man you're about to meet
00:29:29
Kuwait the Middle East January 1991 desert stor the conflict was instantly seen on
00:29:43
television sets around the world I would like to see a peaceful solution to this
00:29:48
question I think Saddam Hussein should fully Joe O'Brien of Crestline California watched with special
00:29:57
interest one of the Kuwaiti jet Pilots fighting with the Allied Forces was his longtime friend Muhammad Mubarak
00:30:04
nicknamed Sammy they had met 16 years before when Samy was in the United States on a training Mission they had
00:30:13
been friends ever since during the hours of Darkness Baghdad was bombed by Allied war planes
00:30:20
wait hold on Joe had no doubt that Samy would be in the middle of the fighting I'm going to have to call you back but
00:30:27
he was stunned to see his friend's face right there on television the Iraqis had
00:30:33
shot down Samy's plane and taken him prisoner it was like my blood turned lead I think my biggest concern when he
00:30:40
was shot down was that Saddam Hussein would make an example out of him Iraq's
00:30:45
issue is with Kuwait so we have a Kuwaiti pilot uh we will if they were to torture or kill him uh uh that was my
00:30:53
main concern that night Joe had a bizarre our dream in my dream I was very much aware
00:31:07
that I was Sammy I was in his cell and I was seeing things through his eyes and it was a fairly small cell with
00:31:14
a high ceiling the floor was very cold I noticed the color was almost like a dark
00:31:20
flat porcelain uh it had on a maroon took on a maroon or purplish color when the
00:31:27
light was was on I remember being very uncomfortable but the pain I had in my hands almost overrode everything else
00:31:34
about my captivity it was so painful my hands were on fire in his dream Joe had a powerful
00:31:41
feeling about what seemed to be an ordinary striped blanket I was very happy to have it I
00:31:48
remember studying the material and the design and it was shortly after that when I woke up in a cold sweat I've
00:31:55
never had a dream like that and I've never woken up like that before and I I
00:32:00
immediately got out of bed it was about 6:00 and I went right into the bathroom to run some water on my wrists which
00:32:07
were very very [Music] sore that morning Joe met a friend John goth for breakfast Hey Joe how's it
00:32:16
going okay how are you all right big night yeah I'm sure when he showed up I noticed that
00:32:23
his hands were kind of red and he had a tough time picking his coffee cup up and
00:32:27
he said the the darnest thing happened to me last night I I had this strange dream and in the process of my dream um
00:32:34
my hand started hurting and so then he told me about the dream your friend is a qu pilot yeah yeah I dreamed I was him
00:32:42
in his cell Joe Brian is not a person to just fabricate stories and when he told
00:32:47
me about this story I really did think that it was something really unusual he explained in detail about a prisoner of
00:32:54
war and the pain of his hands didn't go away for 5 days you know someone's captive you're going
00:32:59
to picture a cell but why the pain and why in my wrists uh you know I I've I
00:33:06
used to be a Mason I have strong hands I've never had problems with my hands
00:33:09
and here I can't even hold a coffee cup 42 days after the War Began Iraq surrendered Saddam Hussein agreed to a
00:33:20
ceasefire and an exchange of prisoners Joe again saw Samy's face on television
00:33:27
when I saw Sammy actually being released I couldn't believe it I was just so
00:33:31
happy I called him that night he was in the hospital and had a wonderful conversation with him and I was very
00:33:36
happy it was a it was a a good day my the following Christmas they celebrated Sammy and his sister visited
00:33:49
Joe in California for a reunion that night Joel told Sammy about his dream I dreamed that I was in a Cell it was a
00:33:59
dark black and burgundy tile with this little window way up high Sammy was stunned Joe's words took him back back
00:34:10
to the horror of captivity when the Iraqis were taking Sammy to a p camp he had been handcuffed so tightly that his
00:34:19
wrists were cut and bleeding the pain I hardly can move my rest around I had the handcuffs for five
00:34:29
long days you know very tight and really hurting my rest badly and I had this beige and green
00:34:37
striped cloth which was really important to me the detail was astonishing Joe was
00:34:44
describing Samy's blanket the only comfort he had I very cold so I usually just have the blanket around me because
00:34:53
it was keeping me warm you've described my exactly Joe and Sammy compared notes
00:35:00
for hours even the that was my I was totally amazed surprised his dream matched the cell and the reality uh
00:35:10
almost let me say 100% you know 100% the feeling the description the colors how I
00:35:17
felt uh everything maybe Joe's dream was just an ear coincidence or maybe some dreams are
00:35:26
real in ways that we don't understand or perhaps Joe's dream is proof that
00:35:32
friendship transcends the limits of time distance or dimension for more than 3 years he was a
00:35:41
man without a past caught in the unforgiving grip of Amnesia would he ever find his true identity
00:36:03
imagine you are awakened by a stranger on a distant roadside you have no idea who you are where you are or how you got
00:36:12
there you're right man Chris Chris sound like you know your name he asked me who I was and what I
00:36:22
was doing here and I didn't have a clue everything was blank from the moment I
00:36:28
saw his face and that was really scary here let's lean you up against my pack
00:36:34
buddy come on I had a bunch of lumps on the back of my head and there were bruises inside my elbows like somebody
00:36:42
tied me up what happened I don't know when I was awake enough he told me that I'd been
00:36:49
saying three names Pat and Chris and Joel and uh that's how I got my name basically he picked the name Pat and got
00:37:02
cleaned up at a local shelter then he went to the police yes sir may help you 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 couple of big bumps back there but the
00:37:12
thing is I don't remember anything about my life I don't remember my name or
00:37:16
anything do you have any identification on you or no with your picture when I woke up all I had was this comb in 23
00:37:23
cents okay a closer look revealed that Pat had a callus on his ring finger perhaps he had once worn a wedding band
00:37:32
can I get you to step around the corner here please they took my fingerprints but they didn't find anything evidently
00:37:39
I not wanted for anything and I didn't match any missing person's descriptions
00:37:45
but I didn't have any more clues as to who I was it's the worst case of Amnesia
00:37:51
I've ever seen by far we're not sure the cause of his Amnesia he tells us that he
00:37:56
suffered an injury to the head and that his memory for all events in his life prior to that head injury are
00:38:04
gone Pat didn't know who he was but he knew that he had to take care of himself
00:38:10
without identification he couldn't get a job in Cheyenne so he set out for Jackson Hull 450 Mi
00:38:19
away he had heard about work there that did not require ID Pat landed a job at a local newspaper
00:38:29
but even as he began a new life pieces of his old life started to surface one day out of the blue he
00:38:37
remembered a date December 31st 1949 could it be his birthday he called Social Security but got nothing uh the
00:38:48
name I'm using is Pat Brown there is a sadness about Pat there's something
00:38:53
missing and I know he feels it it's a void it's a darkness that he can't see
00:38:58
through and I feel for him gradually other cryptic Clues began to emerge one day at work I was adding up
00:39:09
the figures on one of the monthly reports and somebody said how do you do that I do what how can you run an adding
00:39:17
machine without looking at the keys I don't know it it just just does when Pat saw a movie that was set
00:39:28
in the city of Chicago he was sure that he had been there before all already I'll need to
00:39:34
see a picture ID please okay but without a passport or driver's license Pat wasn't allowed to board the plane not
00:39:43
being able to fly to Chicago was really disappointing because that was a clue to
00:39:48
my past and I don't know of any other quick way to get there Pat's true identity remains a mystery but another
00:39:59
clue emerged a reoccurring dream might be the key to the life he had lost I'm in a shower it's like a
00:40:09
campground shower the little boy comes running up and says Dad Dad Mom and Chris need you I think Chris is hurt I
00:40:20
tell him okay Joel I'll dry off and be right there and that's when I wake up
00:40:26
and it comes so often that I'm pretty sure it's a memory and not just a dream Chris and Joel were the names Pat
00:40:35
kept repeating when he was found by The Hitcher I'm pretty sure I have a family
00:40:40
out there and I hope they love me and miss me and want to see me back CU I I know I i' love them of necessity I've
00:40:50
basically started over from scratch I came to with 23 cents in a comb and now I've got a little bank account and the
00:40:59
only thing that's really missing is is a past and and the family I think I had
00:41:09
update on the night of our broadcast we learned that the man who had no name or past turned out to have a family they
00:41:18
called Unsolved Mysteries and said Pat's real name is Carl brnik his wife and sons immediately flew
00:41:26
from Indianapolis for their long awaited reunion do you know me do you but also waiting for Broadneck was a
00:41:37
