She was deceased. 306 00:21:49,660 --> 00:21:55,660 What bothered me the most about this, not that seeing Christine like that, 307 00:21:55,660 --> 00:22:05,660 but looking across the car, that's what really got me there. 308 00:22:05,660 --> 00:22:13,660 He had basically the look of death. He didn't have any life looking at him. 309 00:22:17,660 --> 00:22:22,660 I took my light and I shined my light in his eyes to see if there's any reaction. 310 00:22:22,660 --> 00:22:29,660 And I saw no reaction, no pupil change. I didn't feel a pulse. 311 00:22:29,660 --> 00:22:34,660 I believe that Nikki too was dead. 312 00:22:38,660 --> 00:22:42,660 And then I've noticed that his chest, as he's laying his chest, 313 00:22:42,660 --> 00:22:46,660 rose a little bit like he took a breath. 314 00:22:46,660 --> 00:22:51,660 And I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. I thought I was seeing things. 315 00:22:51,660 --> 00:22:58,660 And then I got down close and I can actually feel shallow breaths. 316 00:22:58,660 --> 00:23:00,660 And I said, oh my God, he's alive. 317 00:23:00,660 --> 00:23:03,660 Nikki, stay with me.

Chris is dead. 364 00:25:26,660 --> 00:25:29,660 Earlier today, police responded to a fatal car accident. 365 00:25:29,660 --> 00:25:32,660 My mother came to tell me I needed to see something on TV. 366 00:25:32,660 --> 00:25:37,660 23-year-old Christine Scoobish and her son, Nikki, went missing five days ago. 367 00:25:37,660 --> 00:25:41,660 Their car was found in a ravine. Christine was pronounced dead in the scene. 368 00:25:41,660 --> 00:25:45,660 I looked up and I saw the woman that I had saw inside the room. 369 00:25:45,660 --> 00:25:50,660 Remarkably, Nikki survived for five days without food or water. 370 00:25:50,660 --> 00:25:53,660 She had the same soft face. 371 00:25:53,660 --> 00:26:00,660 And if you could imagine her eyes closed, that would have been her. 372 00:26:00,660 --> 00:26:04,660 The woman that Deborah Hoyt saw could not have been Christine Scoobish 373 00:26:04,660 --> 00:26:07,660 because the night the Deborah Hoyt saw this woman, 374 00:26:07,660 --> 00:26:10,660 Christine Scoobish had already been dead for five days. 375 00:26:34,660 --> 00:26:45,660 The coroner's report indicated that death was immediate and that she died on impact. 376 00:26:45,660 --> 00:26:49,660 Christine Scoobish never took off her clothes, never climbed up the hill, 377 00:26:49,660 --> 00:26:53,660 never lied on the side of the road, never went back down and got redressed 378 00:26:53,660 --> 00:26:58,660 and put herself back in the car. None of that happened. 379 00:26:58,660 --> 00:27:05,660 She was lying dead in that car for five days before Deborah Hoyt ever saw anybody on the side of the road. 380 00:27:17,660 --> 00:27:23,660 When I walk into the room, I can see him there and he was trying to hold his hands up. 381 00:27:23,660 --> 00:27:25,660 Hi, Papa. 382 00:27:25,660 --> 00:27:28,660 Nikki, look at you. 383 00:27:28,660 --> 00:27:36,660 And he was pale, skinny, but he had a smile on his face. 384 00:27:36,660 --> 00:27:45,660 I walked over and not grabbed him hard or tight, but just held him as gently as a baby. 385 00:27:46,660 --> 00:27:53,660 And it's like we were happy. 386 00:27:53,660 --> 00:27:58,660 Although we lost our daughter, we were happy that Nikki was still there. 387 00:28:01,660 --> 00:28:05,660 Roughly about 17 years have passed since the accident happened. 388 00:28:05,660 --> 00:28:11,660 Most of the things that I do remember are just lots of flashes, mostly pictures. 389 00:28:12,660 --> 00:28:17,660 They're very vivid. 390 00:28:17,660 --> 00:28:23,660 The earliest ones I do remember being at my grandparents' house with my mother. 391 00:28:23,660 --> 00:28:31,660 I remember them having a conversation. I don't exactly know what it was about. 392 00:28:32,660 --> 00:28:37,660 That's about the earliest memory that I have. 393 00:28:37,660 --> 00:28:43,660 The closest memory that occurs after that is of the accident itself. 394 00:28:47,660 --> 00:28:51,660 I remember tumbling down the hill. 395 00:28:51,660 --> 00:28:56,660 It was just tree after tree after tree. We were just hitting them head on. 396 00:29:02,660 --> 00:29:07,660 I just remember waking up and being in the passenger seat next to my mother. 397 00:29:09,660 --> 00:29:15,660 I remember not knowing what to think, looking at my mom, and just kind of thinking she was asleep. 398 00:29:15,660 --> 00:29:20,660 I didn't think anything more than that, at least not that I remember. 399 00:29:20,660 --> 00:29:25,660 I remember seeing lights. 400 00:29:36,660 --> 00:29:41,660 I just remember that there was something right next to the car the entire time next to my mom. 401 00:29:41,660 --> 00:29:46,660 I have a very distinct and vivid picture of it in my head. 402 00:29:46,660 --> 00:29:50,660 It was just a light. It was a big light. 403 00:29:53,660 --> 00:29:59,660 And then through the back window of the car itself, I could also see the same thing next to the road. 404 00:30:05,660 --> 00:30:08,660 And it had a silhouette. 405 00:30:09,660 --> 00:30:15,660 There was no specific features, but I saw a lighted outline of a body. 406 00:30:23,660 --> 00:30:28,660 It was never something that scared me, and I didn't feel afraid when I saw it. 407 00:30:38,660 --> 00:30:48,660 Two weeks later, Brent and I decided to go to the crash site to see if there was anything else that was left down there behind that were Crises. 408 00:30:51,660 --> 00:30:54,660 We wanted to make sure that we got everything out of there. 409 00:30:57,660 --> 00:31:01,660 And as I got out of the car, there was a little mile marker. 410 00:31:02,660 --> 00:31:07,660 They said 60 miles, but they're pointing to Plassville. 411 00:31:07,660 --> 00:31:11,660 And I knew that my sister didn't have a dream. It was a premonition. 412 00:31:11,660 --> 00:31:13,660 The number 16 is popping up. 413 00:31:13,660 --> 00:31:18,660 And it all started making sense as I started adding the pieces. 414 00:31:19,660 --> 00:31:24,660 When you put all of the pieces of the puzzle together, you take the dream that my aunt had. 415 00:31:26,660 --> 00:31:29,660 The apparition sighting that Deborah Hoyt did see. 416 00:31:30,660 --> 00:31:32,660 Are you still wearing that woman on the side of the road? 417 00:31:32,660 --> 00:31:35,660 And the lights that I did see around the car. 418 00:31:37,660 --> 00:31:39,660 It had to have been an angel. 419 00:31:41,660 --> 00:31:46,660 Whether it was God's hand or just a mother looking after her son, I honestly don't know. 420 00:31:46,660 --> 00:31:53,660 But it was something greater than me, greater than anything that I've ever believed. 421 00:31:54,660 --> 00:31:58,660 I absolutely think something special happened here. 422 00:32:01,660 --> 00:32:05,660 People have asked before, is this some kind of a miracle? Yeah, I think it is a miracle. 423 00:32:05,660 --> 00:32:09,660 It's a whole number of series of events that I can't explain. 424 00:32:09,660 --> 00:32:13,660 And I don't know, I've often thought about it. I just don't have the answers. 425 00:32:24,660 --> 00:32:30,660 I would come in to the heliport and pre-flight the helicopter. 426 00:32:33,660 --> 00:32:38,660 Then we would settle in and try to gauge, listening to the police radio, 427 00:32:39,660 --> 00:32:44,660 of how the police would be able to get in and out of the car. 428 00:32:44,660 --> 00:32:47,660 And I would come in and see the police radio. 429 00:32:47,660 --> 00:32:52,660 And we would settle in and try to gauge, listening to the police radio, 430 00:32:52,660 --> 00:32:55,660 of how the day was going. 431 00:32:57,660 --> 00:33:01,660 I was working with a new crew member, Kenny Downs. 432 00:33:01,660 --> 00:33:04,660 He did not have any flight experience. 433 00:33:04,660 --> 00:33:10,660 And my job was to kind of guide him and show him the ropes. 434 00:33:11,660 --> 00:33:13,660 I'd only been in the unit a couple of weeks. 435 00:33:13,660 --> 00:33:16,660 So it was like having a brand new job. 436 00:33:17,660 --> 00:33:20,660 We noticed very quickly, it was a very quiet night. 437 00:33:27,660 --> 00:33:35,660 Around 10.30 or 11.00 o'clock that night, we decided that we should take the helicopter up 438 00:33:35,660 --> 00:33:40,660 and do our routine patrol, make our presence known. 439 00:33:48,660 --> 00:33:50,660 You listen and tell me what's happening. 440 00:33:53,660 --> 00:33:55,660 Kenny and I were flying. 441 00:33:56,660 --> 00:34:00,660 Kenny was shining the light, checking for anything that may be unusual. 442 00:34:00,660 --> 00:34:08,660 Checking rooftops of businesses, school grounds, and the expressways and roadways. 443 00:34:09,660 --> 00:34:11,660 I'm trying to make it. 444 00:34:13,660 --> 00:34:15,660 How much cake? 445 00:34:16,660 --> 00:34:18,660 The radio was quiet. 446 00:34:18,660 --> 00:34:22,660 There wasn't a lot of activity on the streets. 447 00:34:25,660 --> 00:34:28,660 There was virtually nothing in the sky. 448 00:34:29,660 --> 00:34:32,660 It was just a slow night all the way around. 449 00:34:32,660 --> 00:34:39,660 So you wouldn't think that that night would be a night that you remember for the rest of your life. 450 00:35:02,660 --> 00:35:05,660 We had been flying for about 45 minutes to an hour. 451 00:35:09,660 --> 00:35:12,660 A call came out that there was a burglary in progress. 452 00:35:17,660 --> 00:35:23,660 Then as we got near, which was only about a couple minutes, three minutes away, 453 00:35:23,660 --> 00:35:26,660 I saw a light flickering. 454 00:35:27,660 --> 00:35:36,660 The officer was shining his flashlight turning off and on, and I could tell where we were going. 455 00:35:41,660 --> 00:35:43,660 We were almost there. 456 00:35:47,660 --> 00:35:49,660 And they told us that it was a false alarm. 457 00:35:57,660 --> 00:36:03,660 We decided that we would just head back to the heliport and take a break. 458 00:36:13,660 --> 00:36:17,660 Enroute back to the heliport, we went over a group of trees. 459 00:36:19,660 --> 00:36:23,660 We cleared this clump of trees, and I saw something very unusual. 460 00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:35,660 I recall Kenny saying to me, Kenny, when did that tower get out there? 461 00:36:35,660 --> 00:36:37,660 And I said, tower, what tower? 462 00:36:37,660 --> 00:36:39,660 You got to tower with the light on it. 463 00:36:41,660 --> 00:36:42,660 He said, what are you talking about? 464 00:36:42,660 --> 00:36:44,660 I said that right there, so I shined the light on. 465 00:36:46,660 --> 00:36:49,660 And I looked over and saw a glowing object. 466 00:36:50,660 --> 00:36:55,660 And I said, what is that? 467 00:36:55,660 --> 00:36:58,660 That's definitely not a light on a tower. 468 00:36:58,660 --> 00:37:01,660 I got lower and a little closer. 469 00:37:06,660 --> 00:37:10,660 It was very bright.
