Stop staring! Stop it! Stop it! 207 00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:24,560 You were looking for me, Mr. Yates? 208 00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:27,560 You gotta break this curse. 209 00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:29,560 How do you have that power? 210 00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:31,560 How? Tell me how. I'll do anything. 211 00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:36,560 I already told you. You must give me your word that you'll stop killing trees. 212 00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:40,560 But I can't. It's my work. 213 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:45,560 Then you must live in your paper prison. 214 00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:52,560 No! 215 00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:57,560 I can't take this anymore! 216 00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:03,560 Alright! Alright, I'll change. I swear. 217 00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:06,560 I was wrong. 218 00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:14,560 And I'll work to save the rainforest from this day on, I promise. 219 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:22,560 You made the promise. Now you must keep it, or the curse will return. 220 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:41,560 Save the rainforest. Stop killing trees and people. 221 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:51,560 Preston G. Yates turned Atlantis paper into a recycling company and began working to replenish rainforests around the world. 222 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:59,560 The curse never returned. 223 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:06,560 What really happened here? Did the old Indians curse really stick to Preston G. Yates, both literally and figuratively? 224 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:11,560 Or did Yates suddenly develop a condition where his body conducted an excess amount of static electricity 225 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:16,560 the way some people can walk across a carpet and then set off tiny sparks whenever they touch something? 226 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:23,560 Or was Yates so paralyzed by the fear of the curse that he wielded to come true through telekinesis? 227 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:28,560 Is this story of a man who attracted paper like a magnet, a tissue of lies? 228 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,560 Or are we sticking to the facts? 229 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,560 We'll tell you whether this story is true or false at the end of our show. 230 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:42,560 Next, two dead bodies and an unsolvable crime on Beyond Belief, Fact or Fiction. 231 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:52,560 Criminology. Fascinating science. By using the tools of the trade, specialists can reconstruct the scene of a crime sometimes down to the smallest detail. 232 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:59,560 But what happens when the scene of a crime is so baffling, the crime becomes impossible to analyze through science? 233 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,560 It's then that detectives must turn to their greatest tool of all, the human mind. 234 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:09,560 Detective Bill Ballard has a mind that is capable of both analysis and invention, 235 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,560 and is going to need both skills to solve the strangest case of his career. 236 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:25,560 I'd been a homicide detective with the Beverly Hills Police for the past ten years, and I'd seen a lot. 237 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,560 But a murder in a locked funeral home, that was the first. 238 00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:08,560 So the question was, how was he killed? 239 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:16,560 The second victim was lying on the floor next to the casket, with a knife sticking out of her chest. 240 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:23,560 Something was out of whack, and then it dawned on me. 241 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:31,560 There was no blood from the woman. The woman had already been dead for a few days and was probably in that coffin. 242 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,560 Hey Ballard, have you ever seen one like this before? 243 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,560 Never. Why would anybody stick a knife in a corpse? 244 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,560 Six times. And how did you wind up on the floor? 245 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:50,560 Good question. You didn't just jump out of her coffin. What about the guy by the door? 246 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:56,560 Well, my guess, he was probably poisoned, entered through the wound in his hand. 247 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,560 Only more after the autopsy. 248 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,560 Thanks, Angel. 249 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:10,560 What the hell went on here? A corpse stabbed repeatedly outside the coffin? 250 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:25,560 Some instinct told me to check around the coffin. Somebody had spent a lot of money for this send off. 251 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:40,560 So that's how she got out. 252 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,560 Hey Bill. 253 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,560 Did you find a funeral director? 254 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:49,560 Yeah, yeah, he's pretty shook up. I think he never saw a dead body before. 255 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:58,560 The corpse's name is Miriam Jacoby. She died three days ago in a traffic accident. She was loaded. We were talking big money. 256 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,560 The guy over there is her third husband, Daryl. 257 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,560 If I came to pay his respects. 258 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:13,560 Yeah, looks like it. You know, the funeral director told me that his wife took him out of her will completely. 259 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,560 This is real. It's gotta be worth a couple of million bucks. 260 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,560 Yeah, that's real. You know, she had some pretty strange requests in her will. 261 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:33,560 The body was delivered here yesterday with specific instructions that no one was to open the coffin. 262 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,560 And then she wants to be buried wearing this hunk of ice. What a waste, huh? 263 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,560 Somebody thought so. 264 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,560 Also, what do you think? 265 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,560 It was a bashed robbery. 266 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,560 What? How? Who? 267 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:57,560 Daryl Jacoby didn't come to pay his last respects to his dead wife. He came to steal her diamond necklace. 268 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,560 He slipped into the room and made sure he was alone. 269 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:24,560 He used his buck's knife to Jimmy open the lock. The same knife that ended up in her chest. 270 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,560 Then he reached in and grabbed the hold of the necklace. 271 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:45,560 That released a barbed metal spike that shot down and punctured his hand. 272 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,560 This ticked him off so he yanked on the necklace even harder. 273 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,560 That's when the string mechanism kicked in. 274 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,560 This is really incredible. 275 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:01,560 Careful. I'm sure it's still covered with poison. 276 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,560 Who do you think rigged it? 277 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,560 My guess, Mrs. Jacoby. 278 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:07,560 What? 279 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,560 She probably left instructions with her lawyer. 280 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,560 Yeah, but if she didn't want her husband to take it, then why did she wear it? 281 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,560 She knew he'd come after it and she wanted him dead. 282 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:18,560 Never why? 283 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,560 Who knows. She must have cut him out of the will for some reason. 284 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:27,560 Alright, let's say everything happened the way you think it did. How'd the corpse get out of the coffin? 285 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:33,560 As Jacoby struggled with the corpse, he pulled her free and they both fell to the floor. 286 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:41,560 At this point, he's totally spooked and very angry, so he stabbed her repeatedly. 287 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:47,560 All that activity caused the poison from the spike to kick in quickly. 288 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:10,560 He was desperate to get out of the room and away from the nightmare. 289 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,560 He got as far as the door. 290 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:25,560 Mrs. Jacoby knew what kind of man her husband was and she rigged a trap to snare him. 291 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,560 You're amazing. I mean, this all fits. 292 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:37,560 No. No, it doesn't all fit. 293 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,560 What do you mean? 294 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:44,560 The scratches on Jacoby's face. Where did they come from? 295 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,560 I don't know. You probably got them earlier. 296 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:04,560 If he got those scratches somewhere else, then why is there fresh skin and blood under her fingernails? 297 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,560 I don't know. 298 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:21,560 Where the scratches on the husband's face resulted the struggle with his wife's corpse. 299 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:27,560 If not, how do you explain the samples of fresh skin and blood under the wife's nails? 300 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:35,560 Could the crime scene have been manipulated by a third party or is it possible that the wife's restless spirit returned to her body for one last act of revenge? 301 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:42,560 Is this story open to a judgment of truth or have we placed the last nail in a coffin of lies? 302 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,560 We'll tell you whether this story is true or false at the end of our show. 303 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:52,560 Next, two young thieves break into the house of a dead hero on Beyond Belief, Fact or Fiction. 304 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:59,560 Whoever said nostalgia isn't what it used to be hasn't seen the latest market prices for memorabilia. 305 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:06,560 Collectors items similar to these fetch huge prices, thousands of dollars at auctions and conventions around the world. 306 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,560 Even something as simple as an autograph can be worth that. 307 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,560 Patrick Stewart. 308 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:19,560 Lash Connors was an action-adventure star in the heyday of the Western hero. 309 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:24,560 In his movies, Lash always stood for truth, justice, and the cowboy way. 310 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:30,560 But something has just happened to Lash in real life that's never happened in any of his adventure movies. 311 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:31,560 He's dead. 312 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,560 And now the real adventure is about to begin. 313 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:46,560 Legendary cowboy hero Lash Connors was considered the king of the Western two realers back in the 1940s. 314 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:53,560 The year was now 1957 and Lash was on the comeback trail with the new Western television series. 315 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,560 Then tragedy struck. 316 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:05,560 At the age of 41, Lash Connors was found dead in his bedroom, with a mysterious gunshot. 317 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,560 His death was officially ruled a suicide, but questions remain to this day. 318 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,560 Whatever the cause, a great American hero is there. 319 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,560 Hundreds of mourners came from across the country to pay their respects. 320 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:25,560 Johnny Pope and Larry Rucker had driven in that morning from Bakersfield, California. 321 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,560 But they didn't come to offer their condolences. 322 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:29,560 He was quite a man. 323 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,560 My daddy took me to see all his movies when I was a kid. 324 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,560 I bet it's worth at least 20,000 bucks. 325 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,560 I just can't believe he's dead. 326 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:41,560 What? 327 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,560 Lash Connors. 328 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,560 He's dead. 329 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,560 Get over it, Larry.
