00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,460
This program is about unsolved mysteries. Whenever possible, the actual family members

2
00:00:09,460 --> 00:00:13,540
and police officials have participated in recreating the events. What you are about

3
00:00:13,540 --> 00:00:15,940
to see is not a news broadcast.

4
00:00:15,940 --> 00:00:23,500
1970, across the country, student protests escalated into campus violence. One small

5
00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:29,380
group turned to bank robbery and murdered to finance their vision of the revolution.

6
00:00:29,380 --> 00:00:34,180
In March of 1950, in the town of Beatrice, Nebraska, an explosion blew apart a small

7
00:00:34,180 --> 00:00:39,500
church. Twelve devoted choir members were spared from certain death by an amazing chain

8
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:45,980
of events which today remain an unsolved mystery. On a lonely back road in Tennessee, three

9
00:00:45,980 --> 00:00:50,720
men out for a joyride drove straight into a nightmare. They were blown apart by multiple

10
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,220
shotgun blasts.

11
00:00:52,220 --> 00:00:56,900
We'll also bring you the intriguing story of a 20-year-old girl who was plagued by a

12
00:00:56,900 --> 00:01:02,180
series of bizarre and troubling dreams, and some believe foretold her ultimate fate.

13
00:01:02,180 --> 00:01:06,620
One year later, Cindy Anderson disappeared. She has never been seen again.

14
00:01:56,900 --> 00:02:09,900
In 1980, 20-year-old Cindy Anderson was plagued by a series of vivid dreams.

15
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:22,900
In one episode, Cindy recognized the man at the door and let him in. Then in the nightmare,

16
00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:43,820
her trust was betrayed. Cindy became increasingly tormented by these bizarre dreams.

17
00:02:43,820 --> 00:02:48,860
One morning while I was getting ready for work, I overheard Cindy talking to my mother.

18
00:02:48,860 --> 00:02:49,860
What's wrong?

19
00:02:49,860 --> 00:02:53,380
Mom, I had a dream last night. Tell me about it.

20
00:02:53,380 --> 00:02:57,980
There was this man, and I kept trying to get away, and he kept chasing me and coming after

21
00:02:57,980 --> 00:02:58,980
me.

22
00:02:58,980 --> 00:02:59,980
Cindy, it was only a dream.

23
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:02,020
No, Mom, but he murdered me.

24
00:03:02,020 --> 00:03:08,380
I do believe that the dreams could have been a premonition of fears that Cindy actually

25
00:03:08,380 --> 00:03:12,820
had in her subconscious at the time.

26
00:03:12,820 --> 00:03:19,820
The nightmares lasted for a year. Then on August 4, 1981, Cindy Anderson went to work as usual.

27
00:03:20,780 --> 00:03:26,900
She was employed as a legal secretary, and in the mornings usually manned the office alone.

28
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:32,780
She kept the door locked at all times. A buzzer had even been installed at her desk so that

29
00:03:32,780 --> 00:03:38,140
if trouble did arise, she could alert the shop next door.

30
00:03:38,140 --> 00:03:46,300
At noon, Jim Rabbit and Jay Felsteen, two of the lawyers, arrived back at their office.

31
00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:53,300
Jay and I came back from downtown, went up to the door, and the lights were on. The door

32
00:03:53,300 --> 00:04:00,300
was locked. We unlocked the door, went inside, yelled for Cindy, and there was no answer.

33
00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:01,300
Put it aside, Mr.

34
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:02,300
Hey, Cindy!

35
00:04:02,300 --> 00:04:07,780
I started to look around out front. Cindy, once she would leave, would place the phones

36
00:04:07,780 --> 00:04:10,780
on hold, and that wasn't done either.

37
00:04:10,780 --> 00:04:11,780
Hey, Jim.

38
00:04:11,780 --> 00:04:18,780
Come back here and take a look at this.

39
00:04:23,780 --> 00:04:27,780
Take a look at this for a second. Look what that page was turned to.

40
00:04:27,780 --> 00:04:32,780
The lawyers discovered that Cindy had left her romance novel open at the only violence

41
00:04:32,780 --> 00:04:37,780
scene in the entire book, where the heroine is abducted at knife point.

42
00:04:37,780 --> 00:04:39,780
Perhaps we should call somebody?

43
00:04:39,780 --> 00:04:45,780
It wasn't until really looking at the book, particularly reading the passage in the novel,

44
00:04:45,780 --> 00:04:50,780
I just had a sickening feeling that something was wrong.

45
00:04:50,780 --> 00:04:56,780
Cindy was never heard from or seen again. There was no body, no farewell letter, no

46
00:04:56,780 --> 00:05:02,780
hint where she had gone or why. Were Cindy's dreams premonitions of a terrible fate, or

47
00:05:02,780 --> 00:05:07,780
were they just coincidences? For eight years, this extraordinary case has baffled the police

48
00:05:07,780 --> 00:05:12,780
and Cindy's friends and family. Was this young girl abducted and murdered? Could Cindy be

49
00:05:12,780 --> 00:05:19,780
alive somewhere, suffering from amnesia? Or did she simply run away to start a new life?

50
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:26,780
Cindy Anderson was raised in a strict religious environment. Her family, her boyfriend, and

51
00:05:26,780 --> 00:05:31,780
most of her inner social circle were all devout Christian fundamentalists.

52
00:05:31,780 --> 00:05:38,780
She was a very quiet, obedient type of a girl. She never made waves with either myself or

53
00:05:38,780 --> 00:05:46,780
her mother. And she had lots of friends. She was the type of daughter that you just enjoy.

54
00:05:46,780 --> 00:05:51,780
I mean, the type of daughter that, you know, just a beautiful young girl.

55
00:05:51,780 --> 00:05:57,780
At the time of Cindy's disappearance, there were no circumstances in her life that any

56
00:05:57,780 --> 00:06:02,780
of us were aware of that would have caused her to have run away. She was looking forward

57
00:06:02,780 --> 00:06:08,780
to quitting her job in two weeks and going to a Bible college where she would attend with

58
00:06:08,780 --> 00:06:13,780
her boyfriend. She was very excited about it.

59
00:06:13,780 --> 00:06:19,780
Just before she disappeared, however, she was becoming like a debutante. She was spending

60
00:06:19,780 --> 00:06:24,780
a lot of time on her face and herself, and she'd skip breakfast for this reason. She

61
00:06:24,780 --> 00:06:28,780
spent more time on herself than she did on her stomach, and that may be part of the

62
00:06:28,780 --> 00:06:31,780
reason of part of the problem.

63
00:06:31,780 --> 00:06:38,780
The day Cindy vanished, the police immediately began a search for clues. They could not find

64
00:06:38,780 --> 00:06:45,780
Cindy's car keys and purse. The office was undisturbed. There were no signs of a struggle.

65
00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:53,780
Her car was parked in front of the law office. Her bank account, which had a nice substantial

66
00:06:53,780 --> 00:07:00,780
amount of money, was never touched. Her social security numbers has never shown up under any

67
00:07:00,780 --> 00:07:09,780
other workplace. It's a complete mystery how and why Cindy disappeared.

68
00:07:09,780 --> 00:07:16,780
Ten months earlier, Cindy noticed an odd coincidence. On the parking lot wall across from her office,

69
00:07:16,780 --> 00:07:23,780
someone had painted the words, I love you Cindy, by GW.

70
00:07:23,780 --> 00:07:28,780
There are lots of Cindy's in the world, but I think from the very beginning she wondered,

71
00:07:28,780 --> 00:07:35,780
it was so largely printed and so visible to her, it was just very eerie, and it was the only

72
00:07:35,780 --> 00:07:37,780
graffiti on the wall.

73
00:07:37,780 --> 00:07:41,780
There was no other woman named Cindy working in that side of the strip mall that it could

74
00:07:41,780 --> 00:07:48,780
have been for, so it was strategically placed and it really gave us the pvgs.

75
00:07:48,780 --> 00:07:54,780
The spray-painted sign was visible for about six months, then it was covered up.

76
00:07:54,780 --> 00:08:08,780
Within weeks, the same message reappeared. This time it was even larger.

77
00:08:08,780 --> 00:08:15,780
Cindy tried to figure out who GW could have been, and we couldn't think of anyone at school,

78
00:08:15,780 --> 00:08:22,780
at church, in our group of friends, at home, in the neighborhood, so it did bother us a lot.

79
00:08:22,780 --> 00:08:35,780
We attempted to locate people that Cindy would know with those initials.

80
00:08:35,780 --> 00:08:43,780
Among the people that were investigated with the initials of GW was the maintenance man

81
00:08:43,780 --> 00:08:54,780
who had worked for the law firm for some time. He had keys to both doors, in fact he had keys to all the offices.

82
00:08:54,780 --> 00:09:02,780
The police did not find any evidence that the maintenance man wrote the graffiti and are still puzzled by the message.

83
00:09:02,780 --> 00:09:09,780
The day before Cindy and Anderson disappeared, I had been in the law offices to pay off a legal fee.

84
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,780
She got a phone call.

85
00:09:11,780 --> 00:09:12,780
Law offices?

86
00:09:12,780 --> 00:09:17,780
She kind of reacted like maybe it was obscene or something because she hung up real quick.

87
00:09:17,780 --> 00:09:18,780
It was $30.

88
00:09:18,780 --> 00:09:19,780
Okay.

89
00:09:19,780 --> 00:09:26,780
And she got another phone call and the look on her face still, I can picture it today, she was scared.

90
00:09:26,780 --> 00:09:29,780
She was honestly, sincerely scared.

91
00:09:29,780 --> 00:09:31,780
She shivers to think of the look on her face.

92
00:09:31,780 --> 00:09:33,780
So I'm going to problem?

93
00:09:33,780 --> 00:09:35,780
No, it's just been happening lately.

94
00:09:35,780 --> 00:09:36,780
You sure?

95
00:09:36,780 --> 00:09:37,780
Yeah, it's okay.

96
00:09:37,780 --> 00:09:39,780
Okay, well here you go.

97
00:09:39,780 --> 00:09:41,780
I'll call him later to see how things are going.

98
00:09:41,780 --> 00:09:42,780
Great.

99
00:09:42,780 --> 00:09:43,780
Thank you.

100
00:09:43,780 --> 00:09:44,780
Bye bye.

101
00:09:44,780 --> 00:09:48,780
I went home and I called the police department and asked them to do a drive by and check on her.

102
00:09:48,780 --> 00:09:54,780
Something scared the hell out of her, in my opinion.

103
00:09:54,780 --> 00:10:02,780
In September 1981, a month after Cindy vanished, another strange phone call gave police their first concrete lease.

104
00:10:02,780 --> 00:10:04,780
I'll call you later.

105
00:10:04,780 --> 00:10:06,780
I'm going to Cindy and Anderson case.

106
00:10:06,780 --> 00:10:07,780
Who is this?

107
00:10:07,780 --> 00:10:10,780
No, I can't give you my name.

108
00:10:10,780 --> 00:10:12,780
She said that she was scared.

109
00:10:12,780 --> 00:10:14,780
She was talking in low whispers.

110
00:10:14,780 --> 00:10:17,780
All I know is I was told she was being held in a basement in a white house.

111
00:10:17,780 --> 00:10:19,780
Can't you give me the address?

112
00:10:19,780 --> 00:10:20,780
No, no, no, I can't.

113
00:10:20,780 --> 00:10:23,780
She kept saying that she had to go.

114
00:10:24,780 --> 00:10:32,780
I kept begging her to stay on the line, give me more information, give me an exact address, something that we could act on.

115
00:10:32,780 --> 00:10:34,780
I've got to go.

116
00:10:37,780 --> 00:10:40,780
A short while later, she again called.

117
00:10:40,780 --> 00:10:41,780
You take your badm.

118
00:10:41,780 --> 00:10:43,780
Calling again about the Cindy or Anderson case.

119
00:10:43,780 --> 00:10:45,780
I'm glad you called back, ma'am.

120
00:10:45,780 --> 00:10:49,780
Adam signals Sergeant Mahalov to pick up the extension.

121
00:10:49,780 --> 00:10:53,780
But as soon as he came on the line, the woman abruptly hung up again.

122
00:10:53,780 --> 00:10:56,780
She's called twice now and she hangs up the whole time.

123
00:10:56,780 --> 00:11:07,780
The lady mentioned that there was two houses side by side owned by the same family and that the family was out of town.

124
00:11:07,780 --> 00:11:13,780
But their son was home and he was the party that was holding Cindy in the basement.

125
00:11:14,780 --> 00:11:22,780
We did check street after street in the north end to see if we could find the two houses side by side.

126
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:28,780
There's so many that you can't get a positive location for the house.

127
00:11:29,780 --> 00:11:36,780
If she is watching, I would like her to call us again.

128
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:42,780
I appeal to her to call for any further information that she might have.

129
00:11:42,780 --> 00:11:45,780
My hope is that my daughter is alive and well.

130
00:11:45,780 --> 00:11:46,780
I'm living a normal life.

131
00:11:46,780 --> 00:11:48,780
Perhaps with loss of memory.

132
00:11:48,780 --> 00:11:53,780
If she herself is out there, we want her to know that we love her and we certainly want her to come back.

133
00:11:53,780 --> 00:11:56,780
Whatever the case may be, the door is open.

134
00:11:56,780 --> 00:12:01,780
We certainly want anybody and everybody that can possibly help in this situation to do so.

135
00:12:03,780 --> 00:12:08,780
Cynthia Anderson has been missing from the Toledo, Ohio area since August of 1981.

136
00:12:08,780 --> 00:12:12,780
If she is still alive, she would be 28 years old today.

137
00:12:12,780 --> 00:12:15,780
These compoters show what she might look like now.

138
00:12:15,780 --> 00:12:20,780
She's five feet four inches tall with brown hair and brown eyes.

139
00:12:39,780 --> 00:12:45,780
Paul's and my viewers continue to help authorities track down wanted fugitives.

140
00:12:45,780 --> 00:12:51,780
Recently, your tips led to the arrest of an escaped felon wanted by the Illinois State Police.

141
00:12:51,780 --> 00:12:59,780
In November, we featured a story about a family of fortune tellers who have allegedly conned their clients out of millions of dollars.

142
00:12:59,780 --> 00:13:06,780
Fifty-three-year-old Lena Marie Wilson, her 26-year-old daughter Ann Coricelli and their accomplice, 39-year-old Joe Marks,

143
00:13:06,780 --> 00:13:10,780
were all wanted by authorities on charges stemming from a fortune telling scheme

144
00:13:10,780 --> 00:13:14,780
operated by Wilson and Coricelli in Peoria, Illinois.

145
00:13:17,780 --> 00:13:20,780
Update! Joe Marks has been captured.

146
00:13:20,780 --> 00:13:27,780
Within minutes of our broadcast, the Springfield, Missouri Police Department received a call from a viewer who recognized Joe Marks.

147
00:13:27,780 --> 00:13:32,780
On November 20, Green County, Missouri shares deputies arrested Marks at his parents' home

148
00:13:32,780 --> 00:13:35,780
as his mother was operating a palm reading business.

149
00:13:57,780 --> 00:14:02,780
Music plays

150
00:14:11,780 --> 00:14:16,780
On February 22, 1950, the West End Baptist Church, Beatrice, Nebraska,

151
00:14:16,780 --> 00:14:23,780
between the years of 1920 and 1950, fire director Martha Paul ruled the roost every Wednesday night.

152
00:14:24,780 --> 00:14:31,780
She demanded punctuality. If he wanted to sing in her choir, who showed up no later than 7.25 p.m.,

153
00:14:31,780 --> 00:14:35,780
all the members of Martha's Choir told the line.

154
00:14:35,780 --> 00:14:40,780
On Wednesday evening, mother expected all of us to be punctual.

155
00:14:40,780 --> 00:14:45,780
No one was ever really late. There might have been very, very few circumstances,

156
00:14:45,780 --> 00:14:48,780
but most often everyone was there all the time.

157
00:14:48,780 --> 00:14:51,780
I really can't think of a time that anyone came late.

158
00:14:51,780 --> 00:14:56,780
Music plays

159
00:14:58,780 --> 00:15:02,780
Very nice. See you Sunday and next week at 7.15 p.m.

160
00:15:02,780 --> 00:15:07,780
Though no one knew it, that night would be the last choir rehearsal in the West End Church.

161
00:15:10,780 --> 00:15:15,780
One week later, the members of the choir became part of a baffling, unsolved mystery.

162
00:15:15,780 --> 00:15:20,780
Some call it a strange coincidence, but others believe it was something more.

163
00:15:20,780 --> 00:15:26,780
On March 1st, at exactly 7.27 p.m., tragedy struck the West End Baptist Church.

164
00:15:26,780 --> 00:15:32,780
But despite years of unfailing punctuality, this Wednesday night was different.

165
00:15:32,780 --> 00:15:36,780
The afternoon of March 1st turned bitter cold.

166
00:15:36,780 --> 00:15:41,780
The churches passed to Reverend Walter Clemple, stopped by the church at 4.30 to light the furnace,

167
00:15:41,780 --> 00:15:45,780
so the church would be warm in time for that evening's choir practice.

168
00:15:46,780 --> 00:15:52,780
Reverend Clemple and his wife always brought their 18-month-old daughter with them to choir practice.

169
00:15:52,780 --> 00:15:57,780
But that night, the baby stained her dress, and Mrs. Clemple had to iron another one.

170
00:15:57,780 --> 00:16:01,780
It was 7.15, and they were running late.

171
00:16:01,780 --> 00:16:06,780
At the same time, Martha Paul's teenage daughter, Marilyn, was sound asleep.

172
00:16:06,780 --> 00:16:09,780
Marilyn was a choir's accompanist.

173
00:16:09,780 --> 00:16:12,780
We've got time. There's lots of time. She's had a tough day.

174
00:16:12,780 --> 00:16:20,780
I was very tired, and I wanted to rest for a very short period of time before going to the church to practice.

175
00:16:20,780 --> 00:16:29,780
So I decided that maybe a little 15-minute nap wouldn't hurt, and it ended up being a little bit longer, probably about a half an hour.

176
00:16:29,780 --> 00:16:36,780
A few blocks away, Herbert Kipf, who sang bass in a choir, was preoccupied working on church business.

177
00:16:36,780 --> 00:16:38,780
I know. I just need to finish this by tonight.

178
00:16:38,780 --> 00:16:46,780
That night, I was writing a letter to our denomination at Hidden Quarter, and it seemed very important for me to get it into the mail that evening.

179
00:16:46,780 --> 00:16:53,780
Back to the matter is, my mother was hounding me to get going because the time was late already,

180
00:16:53,780 --> 00:16:59,780
but I felt it was more important to get it in the mail and drop it on the way to church.

181
00:16:59,780 --> 00:17:06,780
18-year-old Lucille Jones, who sang out, let herself get hooked on a radio program that night.

182
00:17:07,780 --> 00:17:10,780
I turned on the radio to listen to, This is Your Life.

183
00:17:10,780 --> 00:17:16,780
So I just sat down and listened, and I thought, well, I'd have time to make it up there on time.

184
00:17:16,780 --> 00:17:25,780
I don't know why I turned it on that night, but I turned it on, and they said this was going to be Edgar Bergen's life, and I just decided I was going to listen to it.

185
00:17:25,780 --> 00:17:31,780
Lucille was also responsible for picking up another choir member, but tonight she didn't care.

186
00:17:31,780 --> 00:17:34,780
Edgar Bergen was worth being late for.

187
00:17:36,780 --> 00:17:43,780
At 7.23, Madonna Vandedriff, the 15-year-old soprano in the choir, was struggling with a geometry equation.

188
00:17:43,780 --> 00:17:51,780
She was determined to find the solution before she left for rehearsal, but the problem was difficult, and Madonna was running late.

189
00:17:53,780 --> 00:17:57,780
Two miles away, Marina Estes couldn't get her car started.

190
00:17:57,780 --> 00:18:01,780
She, too, was supposed to pick up another choir member, so they were both late.

191
00:18:02,780 --> 00:18:11,780
Joyce Black, who lived across the street from the church, was ready for choir practice, but just couldn't seem to get moving.

192
00:18:11,780 --> 00:18:22,780
I was late because I was just plain lazy, and I just didn't want to get out in the cold, and so I kept putting off going out the door.

193
00:18:22,780 --> 00:18:32,780
At last, I couldn't put it off any longer, so I put my coat on, and when I opened up the door and stepped out, our church just disintegrated.

194
00:18:37,780 --> 00:18:39,780
All over town, the lights went out.

195
00:18:53,780 --> 00:18:58,780
What really impressed me was our sheet music and our songbooks.

196
00:18:58,780 --> 00:19:03,780
Flying through the air, we had a lot of those things. It was really something to see.

197
00:19:04,780 --> 00:19:11,780
A real nice choir book fell right near me, and it was in pretty good condition, so I picked it up.

198
00:19:11,780 --> 00:19:15,780
I didn't think anybody cared, because I wanted to keep it.

199
00:19:16,780 --> 00:19:23,780
Minutes after the explosion, choir members began to arrive, each one thinking that the others had perished.

200
00:19:26,780 --> 00:19:29,780
Quietly, choir members searched the level for survivors.

201
00:19:32,780 --> 00:19:38,780
One by one, all of them struggled in. Each were too turistly lame for his or her own reason.

202
00:19:39,780 --> 00:19:49,780
When we found out that everyone was safe and that no one was in the explosion, we were standing there holding each other's hands,

203
00:19:49,780 --> 00:19:59,780
and one of the members said, let's give thanks to God, and we offered a prayer, a thanksgiving, that we were indeed spared, and that no one lost their life in this explosion.

204
00:19:59,780 --> 00:20:03,780
Thank you for keeping us all together.

205
00:20:03,780 --> 00:20:12,780
If this had been a busload of people stopped by a flat tire or any such occurrence, it might be considered a coincidence,

206
00:20:12,780 --> 00:20:27,780
but where you have 10, 12, 15 people scattered throughout the entire city, and each of them, detained by some trivial little thing, each different thing, it can't be.

207
00:20:27,780 --> 00:20:33,780
When I realized what had happened, I thought, well, if I wouldn't have been listening to this as your life, my life would have been over.

208
00:20:33,780 --> 00:20:43,780
I believe that night, and no one will convince me otherwise that God didn't want us there. We were spared, and I'm very grateful.

209
00:20:45,780 --> 00:20:49,780
It turned out that the explosion was caused by a gas leak from an underground pipeline.

210
00:20:50,780 --> 00:20:58,780
Today, residents of Beatrice, Nebraska still wonder about the unexplained events that kept each and every choir member safely away from the church.

211
00:20:58,780 --> 00:21:05,780
To some, it was simply a remarkable coincidence, but others believe it was a careful design of greater power.

212
00:21:19,780 --> 00:21:21,780
Everybody, this is the hold up!

213
00:21:23,780 --> 00:21:30,780
September 23, 1970. Three criminals robbed the State Street Bank and Brighton, Massachusetts at gunpoint.

214
00:21:32,780 --> 00:21:40,780
Two other gang members waited outside in cars. A well-organized heist netted over $26,000.

215
00:21:41,780 --> 00:21:45,780
As police arrived at the scene, a Boston patrolman was shot.

216
00:21:49,780 --> 00:21:54,780
The next day, he died. The search for the thieves now became a murder investigation.

217
00:21:58,780 --> 00:22:08,780
What was unusual about this professionally staged crime was the two of the felons were Kathy Power and Susan Sacks, college students at prestigious Brandeis University.

218
00:22:09,780 --> 00:22:15,780
Kathy Power, the driver of the getaway car, is still wanted by the FBI for murder.

219
00:22:16,780 --> 00:22:25,780
Kathy Power's involvement with robbery was symptomatic of the troubled and turbulent 1960s, when radical students erupted in a rash of violent demonstrations.

220
00:22:25,780 --> 00:22:32,780
Her commitment to the politics of protest eventually thruster into a world of mayhem and murder.

221
00:22:32,780 --> 00:22:50,780
Two decades ago, the thrown out conflict yet now triggered a stronger political awareness throughout America.

222
00:22:50,780 --> 00:22:58,780
As the government was pushed unwillingly towards an end to the war, demonstrations in cities fueled the fires of social change.

223
00:23:02,780 --> 00:23:18,780
As Kathy Power entered college in 1967, the mood became increasingly confrontational.

224
00:23:19,780 --> 00:23:22,780
Some peaceful demonstrations became bloody riots.

225
00:23:23,780 --> 00:23:25,780
Student activists became zealous radicals.

226
00:23:26,780 --> 00:23:29,780
Splinter groups and merriesties about aim was to overthrow the government.

227
00:23:30,780 --> 00:23:33,780
The Financed Red Revolution turned to crime.

228
00:23:33,780 --> 00:23:57,780
There was a loose but effective network of underground groups that were responsible for numerous robberies, numerous thefts of weapons, and funneling this money and material through an underground system to some of the more radical, more violent groups that existed in those days.

229
00:23:58,780 --> 00:24:07,780
The groups that were the most violent were the Black Panthers, the Weather Underground group, and groups of that same.

230
00:24:07,780 --> 00:24:18,780
The group that Kathy Power and Susan Sacks belonged to didn't carry any particular name, but nonetheless was very violent and involved in numerous violent activities.

231
00:24:19,780 --> 00:24:30,780
By 1970, Catherine Ann Power was a 21-year-old college senior who became swept up in the maelstrom of radical underground politics.

232
00:24:31,780 --> 00:24:40,780
A straight A student named outstanding teenager of Colorado, Kathy won a full scholarship to exclusive Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts.

233
00:24:41,780 --> 00:24:46,780
Kathy majored in sociology and made the dean's list every year.

234
00:24:47,780 --> 00:24:50,780
But like many students, Kathy wanted to change the world.

235
00:24:56,780 --> 00:25:03,780
Kathy was an active member of the National Strike Information Center, a clearinghouse for student protest across the country.

236
00:25:03,780 --> 00:25:08,780
How many people are you expecting again? How many of those do you think have been at demonstrations?

237
00:25:14,780 --> 00:25:19,780
Susan Sacks and Stanley Bond were also closely involved with the center and Kathy's close friends.

238
00:25:21,780 --> 00:25:23,780
Susan Sacks was an honor student from Philadelphia.

239
00:25:24,780 --> 00:25:33,780
Stanley Bond was a convicted felon who was studying at Brandeis as part of an innovative parole program designed to rehabilitate convicts at nearby Walpole Prison.

240
00:25:34,780 --> 00:25:41,780
Stanley Bond was a criminal, but with revolutionary ideas, if I can use that expression, very strong in his beliefs.

241
00:25:41,780 --> 00:25:48,780
He said publicly, you know, if he was in the Commissioner of Crime, he would kill a policeman and consider it an act of war rather than a crime.

242
00:25:48,780 --> 00:25:54,780
He would justify that and he would justify whatever he did in his revolutionary tactics.

243
00:26:01,780 --> 00:26:06,780
April of 1970 saw a new wave of protest as President Nixon expanded the war into Cambodia.

244
00:26:08,780 --> 00:26:13,780
At Kent State University, four students were shot to death by Ohio National Guardsmen.

245
00:26:14,780 --> 00:26:21,780
This was the scene yesterday at Kent State University as demonstrators and National Guardsmen squared off for the second straight day.

246
00:26:22,780 --> 00:26:30,780
Monday's confrontation escalated to a tragic conclusion. Just after noon, the Guardsmen opened fire after rocks were allegedly thrown at them.

247
00:26:31,780 --> 00:26:35,780
Thirteen seconds later, four students were dead and nine were wounded.

248
00:26:36,780 --> 00:26:43,780
The dead students have been identified as Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Schubert and William Kroger.

249
00:26:47,780 --> 00:26:51,780
This is revolution. This is really revolution.

250
00:27:05,780 --> 00:27:09,780
The Guardsmen were shot to death by Ohio National Guardsmen.

251
00:27:09,780 --> 00:27:13,780
The Guardsmen were shot to death by Ohio National Guardsmen.

252
00:27:26,780 --> 00:27:31,780
Hathie, Susan and Stanley Bond felt strongly that violence was a proper means to their end.

253
00:27:32,780 --> 00:27:36,780
In three months, the group robbed over a dozen banks to fund the revolution.

254
00:27:36,780 --> 00:27:41,780
Stanley Bond recruited two fellow conglicts also on the parole program.

255
00:27:42,780 --> 00:27:47,780
Robert Valeri, a convicted armed robber, and William Lefty Gilday, a convicted bank robber.

256
00:27:51,780 --> 00:27:59,780
The group was notorious. Besides the states freed robbery, they committed numerous other crimes up to maybe 17 others.

257
00:27:59,780 --> 00:28:05,780
Several of which we did identify either one or more members of the group of five.

258
00:28:08,780 --> 00:28:14,780
On September 20, 1970, the group stole explosives and automatic weapons from a Massachusetts Armory.

259
00:28:15,780 --> 00:28:18,780
After the heist, they fire bombed the building.

260
00:28:20,780 --> 00:28:25,780
Three days later, the radical gang prepared to rob the State Street Bank and brighten Massachusetts.

261
00:28:25,780 --> 00:28:32,780
Hathie Power got mixed up in a movement that absolutely got out of hand. A revolutionary movement.

262
00:28:33,780 --> 00:28:40,780
There was room for protest in this country. Hathie Power and others took that protest to the point of violence.

263
00:28:41,780 --> 00:28:48,780
So I have no sympathy for her activities. I have sympathy for her views in some ways.

264
00:28:49,780 --> 00:28:57,780
I can't understand how she got swept as far as she did. But I also have a lot more sympathy for the family of the slain police officer.

265
00:28:58,780 --> 00:29:05,780
I can certainly understand people wanting to make changes in our society. There are a lot of inequities. A lot of people are disadvantaged.

266
00:29:06,780 --> 00:29:14,780
And I believe very strongly in trying to give some power to disadvantaged people. But I don't think the way that you do that is to go about killing somebody.

267
00:29:14,780 --> 00:29:22,780
Nothing is worth human life. Nothing replaces human life. No amount of money that you could steal from a bank or anything else.

268
00:29:27,780 --> 00:29:34,780
September 23, 1970, he started normally for Boston Police Patrolman Walter Schroeder at his partner Frank Callahan.

269
00:29:34,780 --> 00:29:50,780
Within 24 hours, Schroeder would be dead. Ironically, just two years earlier, officer Schroeder had received a special commendation for foiling another robbery at the State Street Bank.

270
00:29:55,780 --> 00:30:00,780
I don't think we'd get a better partner than Walter because I could depend on him.

271
00:30:00,780 --> 00:30:17,780
I never had a worry about my back from Walter. Nothing seemed to scare him. Nothing phased him at all. Especially if someone was in trouble. He'd go all out and see if he could help them, regardless of what the situation was.

272
00:30:18,780 --> 00:30:21,780
I've never saw him back down from any incident.

273
00:30:30,780 --> 00:30:34,780
At 9 a.m., Schroeder and Callahan were patrolling. The gang left their hideout.

274
00:30:36,780 --> 00:30:39,780
Bon Valerian Susan Sacks planned to go into the bank itself.

275
00:30:40,780 --> 00:30:44,780
Lefty Gilday was assigned to watch the bank entrance from across the street.

276
00:30:45,780 --> 00:30:48,780
Cathy Power was waiting a few blocks away in a switch car.

277
00:30:49,780 --> 00:30:55,780
At approximately 9.20 a.m., Bon Valerian Sacks pulled up to the bank.

278
00:30:56,780 --> 00:31:01,780
Sacks entered the bank through his side door, and her comrades went through the front door.

279
00:31:03,780 --> 00:31:05,780
Everybody, this is a hold up!

280
00:31:06,780 --> 00:31:10,780
Bon ordered the tellers to place all their available cash into money bags.

281
00:31:11,780 --> 00:31:14,780
One teller pressed the silent alarm, and the authorities were alerted.

282
00:31:15,780 --> 00:31:19,780
Car 14-4, we owe a silent alarm at the State Street Bank. Please respond.

283
00:31:20,780 --> 00:31:22,780
Car 14-4, please respond.

284
00:31:23,780 --> 00:31:26,780
Frank, we're only a couple of blocks away. Why don't we back that 14-4 car up?

285
00:31:27,780 --> 00:31:29,780
14-3. We'll back up that unit at the State Street Bank.

286
00:31:30,780 --> 00:31:33,780
I've got a strange feeling about this one. Might be for real. I'll get a hurry up and get up there.

287
00:31:40,780 --> 00:31:41,780
Wait.

288
00:31:58,780 --> 00:31:59,780
Come on!

289
00:32:00,780 --> 00:32:01,780
Come on! Move back!

290
00:32:01,780 --> 00:32:02,780
Money's up there!

291
00:32:03,780 --> 00:32:08,780
As the robbers ran out of the bank, the well-planned heist started to unravel.

292
00:32:09,780 --> 00:32:11,780
The gilday began firing indiscriminately.

293
00:32:16,780 --> 00:32:22,780
When we arrived at the bank, I heard six or eight shots, but didn't know where they were coming from.

294
00:32:24,780 --> 00:32:28,780
Evidently, Walter didn't realize where they were coming from because he ran right toward this man.

295
00:32:29,780 --> 00:32:35,780
And he finally realized where they were coming from, and he tried to turn around and run, get around the corner of the bank.

296
00:32:36,780 --> 00:32:37,780
But he didn't quite make it.

297
00:32:42,780 --> 00:32:45,780
I realized Walter was hurt when I saw him fall.

298
00:32:48,780 --> 00:32:52,780
I was hoping that he had just tripped, but deep down I knew that he was hit.

299
00:32:52,780 --> 00:32:57,780
A Boston policeman remains in critical condition tonight following a shootout at the State Street Bank.

300
00:32:57,780 --> 00:33:02,780
Right, Truman Walter Schroeder, a 19-year veteran of the force, shot once in the back.

301
00:33:02,780 --> 00:33:04,780
His three gunmen left the bank.

302
00:33:04,780 --> 00:33:05,780
Not bad for a day's work, huh?

303
00:33:05,780 --> 00:33:07,780
A day's work?

304
00:33:08,780 --> 00:33:10,780
Why don't you go and pick up the cop, man?

305
00:33:10,780 --> 00:33:11,780
What's your problem?

306
00:33:12,780 --> 00:33:13,780
I think we deserve a little extra.

307
00:33:13,780 --> 00:33:16,780
The robbery had netted $26,000 in cash.

308
00:33:16,780 --> 00:33:21,780
Stanley Bond distributed $500 in spending money to each member of the gang and held onto the remainder himself.

309
00:33:21,780 --> 00:33:23,780
500. Let's get out of here.

310
00:33:27,780 --> 00:33:30,780
Within eight hours, the five robbers had all gone their separate ways.

311
00:33:31,780 --> 00:33:35,780
An officer Schroeder lay in St. Elizabeth's Hospital fighting for his life.

312
00:33:36,780 --> 00:33:39,780
The robbers were shot in the back, but they were not killed.

313
00:33:39,780 --> 00:33:41,780
The five robbers had all gone their separate ways.

314
00:33:42,780 --> 00:33:46,780
An officer Schroeder lay in St. Elizabeth's Hospital fighting for his life.

315
00:33:47,780 --> 00:33:50,780
His partner kept a silent vigil through the night.

316
00:33:53,780 --> 00:33:55,780
Walter's injury was very serious.

317
00:33:55,780 --> 00:33:59,780
The ordinary person wouldn't last five minutes.

318
00:33:59,780 --> 00:34:02,780
He was shot in the back through the aorta.

319
00:34:02,780 --> 00:34:04,780
I mean, out of reach of the heart.

320
00:34:05,780 --> 00:34:08,780
I guess Walter died around 10 o'clock in the morning.

321
00:34:08,780 --> 00:34:12,780
And it really hit me like a ton of bricks.

322
00:34:12,780 --> 00:34:14,780
I mean, he was real...

323
00:34:14,780 --> 00:34:17,780
I was real close with Walter. He was a real friend.

324
00:34:17,780 --> 00:34:19,780
He was like one of the family.

325
00:34:19,780 --> 00:34:23,780
And I'll never get over it, really.

326
00:34:23,780 --> 00:34:25,780
I haven't gotten over it yet.

327
00:34:26,780 --> 00:34:28,780
The effect of his death was devastating.

328
00:34:29,780 --> 00:34:33,780
As time has passed, we've learned to adjust to it.

329
00:34:33,780 --> 00:34:41,780
But I think that it's created a void that has never been filled and really can't be filled.

330
00:34:42,780 --> 00:34:46,780
You know, it's scary when anybody gets killed.

331
00:34:46,780 --> 00:34:52,780
It's particularly scary when the people who are charged with the responsibility of taking care of the rest of us are killed.

332
00:34:52,780 --> 00:34:59,780
Within 24 hours, the Boston Police Department had picked up the trail of one of the fleeing killers.

333
00:34:59,780 --> 00:35:05,780
A source on the street gave us the name of Robert DeValliery as being one of the people involved in the bank robbery.

334
00:35:05,780 --> 00:35:08,780
The Boston police arrested DeValliery.

335
00:35:08,780 --> 00:35:10,780
He was interrogated for quite a few hours.

336
00:35:10,780 --> 00:35:15,780
He finally gave the names of all the people he named William Gilday,

337
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:17,780
named Stanley Bond,

338
00:35:17,780 --> 00:35:18,780
named Catherine Powers,

339
00:35:18,780 --> 00:35:20,780
and his wife,

340
00:35:20,780 --> 00:35:22,780
named Catherine Powers,

341
00:35:22,780 --> 00:35:23,780
and his son, Sacks,

342
00:35:23,780 --> 00:35:25,780
all being involved in the bank robbery.

343
00:35:27,780 --> 00:35:33,780
Five days later, Stanley Bond was arrested in Grand Junction, Colorado.

344
00:35:33,780 --> 00:35:39,780
The next day, Gilday was picked up in Worcester, Massachusetts after a high-speed chase.

345
00:35:40,780 --> 00:35:45,780
William Gilday is still serving two life sentences for his part in the crime.

346
00:35:46,780 --> 00:35:50,780
DeValliery spent five years in jail and is now out on parole.

347
00:35:50,780 --> 00:35:53,780
Before Stanley Bond's murder trial began,

348
00:35:53,780 --> 00:35:58,780
he accidentally killed himself with a homemade bomb he had built for an escape attempt.

349
00:36:00,780 --> 00:36:04,780
Five years later, Susan Sacks was arrested on a Philadelphia street.

350
00:36:04,780 --> 00:36:09,780
She spent seven years in prison and was released in 1982.

351
00:36:10,780 --> 00:36:17,780
In 1974, a bank surveillance camera photographed Kathy Power opening a bank account in Louisville, Kentucky.

352
00:36:17,780 --> 00:36:21,780
This was the last reported sighting of Kathy Power.

353
00:36:26,780 --> 00:36:29,780
Kathy Power has been on the run for almost 19 years,

354
00:36:29,780 --> 00:36:31,780
living the life of a fugitive,

355
00:36:31,780 --> 00:36:34,780
and has used the following different aliases,

356
00:36:34,780 --> 00:36:39,780
Priscilla Cole, Claire Johnson, Mae Kelly, and Jane Pascarella.

357
00:36:43,780 --> 00:36:46,780
The search for Kathy Power will continue until she is found,

358
00:36:46,780 --> 00:36:48,780
but we have to be realistic.

359
00:36:48,780 --> 00:36:50,780
The times have changed.

360
00:36:50,780 --> 00:36:55,780
I think the government and the country has come back more to a center space.

361
00:36:56,780 --> 00:37:01,780
That would have to have some influence upon what would happen to Kathy Power.

362
00:37:02,780 --> 00:37:05,780
The crime occurred 18 years ago.

363
00:37:07,780 --> 00:37:11,780
And I think if Kathy were to turn herself in or to be apprehended,

364
00:37:12,780 --> 00:37:14,780
she could be tried, she would be found guilty.

365
00:37:14,780 --> 00:37:19,780
But I think a lot of things would have to be taken into consideration at the time of her sentencing.

366
00:37:19,780 --> 00:37:23,780
There's no satisfaction to be derived by me or my family.

367
00:37:23,780 --> 00:37:26,780
What's done is done. You can't bring somebody back.

368
00:37:26,780 --> 00:37:30,780
But I think it's important because there's a larger message contained in all of it

369
00:37:30,780 --> 00:37:34,780
that we all function as a single unit, as a society,

370
00:37:34,780 --> 00:37:37,780
and that there are lines of behavior that are acceptable,

371
00:37:37,780 --> 00:37:40,780
and there are lines, you know, once you step over that line, it's not acceptable.

372
00:37:40,780 --> 00:37:44,780
Her behavior, as with the other people involved, is unacceptable.

373
00:37:45,780 --> 00:37:48,780
And you have to be called to task on that.

374
00:37:48,780 --> 00:37:50,780
You have to take responsibility for what you do.

375
00:37:50,780 --> 00:37:53,780
And if the individual doesn't choose to do it,

376
00:37:53,780 --> 00:37:57,780
society for the protection of everybody else has to be willing to do it,

377
00:37:57,780 --> 00:38:01,780
whether it's something that happened yesterday, last year or 20 years ago.

378
00:38:24,780 --> 00:38:31,780
When we return the story of the brutal shot-in on slaying of three men on a rural Tennessee back room.

379
00:38:43,780 --> 00:38:47,780
My last count, 20,000 murders are committed each year in the United States.

380
00:38:47,780 --> 00:38:50,780
30% of these remain unsolved.

381
00:38:51,780 --> 00:38:54,780
In many of these cases, a killer is known to the police,

382
00:38:54,780 --> 00:38:57,780
but they are powerless without the testimony of key witnesses.

383
00:38:57,780 --> 00:39:03,780
In our next story, the police have received anonymous calls from people who claim to know the identity of the killer,

384
00:39:03,780 --> 00:39:07,780
but they will not testify until a suspect is safely behind bars.

385
00:39:07,780 --> 00:39:10,780
The reason is simple. Fear.

386
00:39:11,780 --> 00:39:17,780
Signal Mountain, near Chattanooga, Tennessee.

387
00:39:17,780 --> 00:39:22,780
On the evening of July the 9th, 1988, Airman First Class Kenneth Griffith,

388
00:39:22,780 --> 00:39:26,780
Sergeant Earl Smock and Griffith's father-in-law Richard Mason,

389
00:39:26,780 --> 00:39:31,780
warmed up their engines before taking off for a few hours of three-wheel riding.

390
00:39:33,780 --> 00:39:36,780
Kenneth and Earl and Richard All three were anxious to go,

391
00:39:36,780 --> 00:39:41,780
and they got on their motors and revved them up, and they couldn't wait to get out, you know.

392
00:39:41,780 --> 00:39:46,780
They were ready to go because they knew they had a few hours of daylight time.

393
00:39:49,780 --> 00:39:54,780
At 6 p.m., the three men left Mason's home on their ATVs, all-terrain vehicles,

394
00:39:54,780 --> 00:39:57,780
to explore the trails in the neighboring woods.

395
00:39:59,780 --> 00:40:02,780
By the next morning, they had not returned.

396
00:40:03,780 --> 00:40:07,780
When I woke up, I realized that they weren't home,

397
00:40:07,780 --> 00:40:12,780
and I stood at the back door looking for their son to come up

398
00:40:12,780 --> 00:40:17,780
because my feeling was maybe it was cloudy that night,

399
00:40:17,780 --> 00:40:20,780
and they couldn't find their way back,

400
00:40:20,780 --> 00:40:26,780
but I knew deep down that wasn't what happened, that something was wrong.

401
00:40:28,780 --> 00:40:31,780
All three men were experienced ATV riders,

402
00:40:31,780 --> 00:40:35,780
and they were home and ridden in the local backwoods many times before.

403
00:40:35,780 --> 00:40:39,780
Fearing foul play, friends and family began searching.

404
00:40:44,780 --> 00:40:50,780
A few hours later, a local resident stopped five miles from the Mason home to check a bad tire.

405
00:40:54,780 --> 00:40:59,780
He saw three ATVs covered with blood in a trash dump on the bottom of a bluff.

406
00:41:01,780 --> 00:41:04,780
We received a call on July the 10th

407
00:41:04,780 --> 00:41:09,780
that the motorist had found some three-wheelers over the bluff on Roberts Camp Road.

408
00:41:10,780 --> 00:41:14,780
The dispatcher requested for us to respond to that area.

409
00:41:14,780 --> 00:41:18,780
They at this time informed us that three men from Signal Mountain

410
00:41:18,780 --> 00:41:23,780
had left a day earlier going on a ride, and had never returned home.

411
00:41:25,780 --> 00:41:30,780
As police retrieved the ATV, the Signal Mountain resident told them he had heard gunshots

412
00:41:30,780 --> 00:41:34,780
the night before. The same night the men had disappeared.

413
00:41:35,780 --> 00:41:38,780
I heard three shots, might have been four.

414
00:41:38,780 --> 00:41:41,780
I told them I was a damn fan approaching the air off early out here.

415
00:41:41,780 --> 00:41:43,780
It ain't even cold weather yet.

416
00:41:43,780 --> 00:41:45,780
One of the neighbors there was to Joe Skinner,

417
00:41:45,780 --> 00:41:48,780
who stated that the toes were where he had been, and he heard shots,

418
00:41:48,780 --> 00:41:52,780
and he was sure from his experience that they came from a particular place

419
00:41:52,780 --> 00:41:56,780
that he called the gate, but we had never been back in this particular area.

420
00:41:56,780 --> 00:42:00,780
And of course, this is where we wanted to look, is where the shots were heard.

421
00:42:03,780 --> 00:42:07,780
The next morning police searched the area where the shots had been fired.

422
00:42:07,780 --> 00:42:11,780
They found ATV tire tracks. Nothing else seemed out of the ordinary.

423
00:42:11,780 --> 00:42:16,780
Until they approached the gate, an area posted with no trespassing signs.

424
00:42:17,780 --> 00:42:22,780
As we came to that section, Roy had noticed a green fly had landed on it.

425
00:42:22,780 --> 00:42:25,780
Here Larry, tell them to look close. There's a green fly on my wrist.

426
00:42:25,780 --> 00:42:27,780
There has to be something around here.

427
00:42:27,780 --> 00:42:30,780
You know what, y'all need to look close to this area here now.

428
00:42:31,780 --> 00:42:36,780
And he may comment, this green fly is in this area that we need to look

429
00:42:36,780 --> 00:42:39,780
because they're usually after the canned flesh.

430
00:42:41,780 --> 00:42:46,780
A short distance away, just off the road, they discovered a spot of blood.

431
00:42:49,780 --> 00:42:51,780
Hey, come here, look at this.

432
00:42:52,780 --> 00:42:56,780
This time, we began searching more around the area.

433
00:42:56,780 --> 00:43:00,780
We found a section that appeared as something that we'd rubbed through the woods, through the grass.

434
00:43:00,780 --> 00:43:05,780
We were searching through that area and we did find a pool of blood.

435
00:43:06,780 --> 00:43:13,780
And after finding this, we roped the area off and advised the command post

436
00:43:13,780 --> 00:43:15,780
that we think we had found a crime scene.

437
00:43:16,780 --> 00:43:22,780
Because police found brain tissue and bone fragments at the scene,

438
00:43:22,780 --> 00:43:25,780
they were certain that the three men had been killed.

439
00:43:25,780 --> 00:43:27,780
However, no bodies were found.

440
00:43:33,780 --> 00:43:37,780
Two days later, at a dump site 11 miles from the crime center,

441
00:43:37,780 --> 00:43:41,780
the bodies of Kenneth Griffith, Earl Smock and Richard Mason were discovered.

442
00:43:42,780 --> 00:43:45,780
All three men had been killed by shotgun bullets.

443
00:43:47,780 --> 00:43:51,780
Police tried to make sense of the evidence, which was now scattered over a large area.

444
00:43:54,780 --> 00:43:57,780
The three men left from the Mason home, which is located here.

445
00:43:58,780 --> 00:44:01,780
The murder site was here, three miles to the north at the gate.

446
00:44:02,780 --> 00:44:05,780
The three ATVs were discovered here by Roberts Mill Road.

447
00:44:07,780 --> 00:44:10,780
The bodies were dumped here by Suck Creek Road.

448
00:44:10,780 --> 00:44:12,780
11 miles from the crime scene.

449
00:44:16,780 --> 00:44:20,780
Based on the physical evidence, police have reconstructed the crime.

450
00:44:20,780 --> 00:44:25,780
It appears that the three men were riding the dirt road.

451
00:44:25,780 --> 00:44:28,780
They came to the area of the fence.

452
00:44:28,780 --> 00:44:32,780
At that time, they were surprised by some of them.

453
00:44:32,780 --> 00:44:39,780
And it appeared that Kenneth Griffith was apparently the first one that was shot.

454
00:44:39,780 --> 00:44:42,780
He was shot in the left side of the head.

455
00:44:42,780 --> 00:44:45,780
He had apparently killed him instantly.

456
00:44:45,780 --> 00:44:49,780
The further indications are that Richard Mason was the second man that was shot.

457
00:44:49,780 --> 00:44:53,780
He had one shot to the chest area.

458
00:44:53,780 --> 00:44:57,780
Earl Smock was shot directly into the right shoulder.

459
00:44:57,780 --> 00:45:02,780
It appeared that he got off of his three-wheeler and attempted to get away.

460
00:45:06,780 --> 00:45:11,780
The second shot went into the side, through the heart, and that was a fatal wound.

461
00:45:14,780 --> 00:45:21,780
16 years in the business, it is my opinion that this is one of the most brutal uncalled for.

462
00:45:21,780 --> 00:45:24,780
Murders ever.

463
00:45:24,780 --> 00:45:29,780
Police believe that after the murders, the killer carefully covered up the evidence.

464
00:45:29,780 --> 00:45:36,780
Then, with the help of at least one accomplice, he began his grim journey to dispose of the vehicles and the bodies.

465
00:45:40,780 --> 00:45:44,780
An eyewitness told police that he saw two men in the car.

466
00:45:44,780 --> 00:45:48,780
At the same time, the pick-up was spotted.

467
00:45:48,780 --> 00:45:53,780
Another eyewitness reported seeing a woman frantically trying to stop traffic near Roberts Mill Road.

468
00:45:53,780 --> 00:45:55,780
You can't get through there's an accident.

469
00:45:55,780 --> 00:45:58,780
Her light-colored car was in the car.

470
00:45:58,780 --> 00:46:00,780
The car was in the car.

471
00:46:00,780 --> 00:46:02,780
The car was in the car.

472
00:46:02,780 --> 00:46:04,780
The car was in the car.

473
00:46:04,780 --> 00:46:06,780
The car was in the car.

474
00:46:06,780 --> 00:46:08,780
The car was in the car.

475
00:46:08,780 --> 00:46:10,780
The car was in the car.

476
00:46:10,780 --> 00:46:12,780
The car was in the car.

477
00:46:12,780 --> 00:46:14,780
You can't get through there's an accident.

478
00:46:14,780 --> 00:46:21,780
Her light-colored Chevrolet was blocking the road just a quarter mile from the bluff where the ATVs were dropped.

479
00:46:27,780 --> 00:46:35,780
After the killer and his accomplice dumped the ATVs, police speculated they returned to the crime scene to retrieve the three bodies.

480
00:46:35,780 --> 00:46:39,780
They then drove 11 miles to the Suck Creek Road dump site.

481
00:46:40,780 --> 00:46:46,780
It's obvious that whoever put the bodies there, they wanted the bodies to be found.

482
00:46:46,780 --> 00:46:54,780
They wanted to be found sooner than what they were in order to keep the actual crime scene from ever being found.

483
00:46:54,780 --> 00:47:03,780
And had they been found on a Monday instead of on Wednesday, then the actual crime scene at the fence was never been found.

484
00:47:04,780 --> 00:47:09,780
Police are convinced that the killer is a local resident.

485
00:47:09,780 --> 00:47:16,780
The murderer and his accomplices appear to have a detailed and intimate knowledge of the back roads on Signal Mountain.

486
00:47:16,780 --> 00:47:21,780
They also knew the ideal locations to dump the ATVs and the bodies.

487
00:47:21,780 --> 00:47:28,780
Like the authorities, local residents are worried that the killer is part of their small community.

488
00:47:28,780 --> 00:47:32,780
The people in the area are afraid to come forward.

489
00:47:32,780 --> 00:47:41,780
Not fear of it happening again in that area, but fear that who was involved in it, if they say anything, will get them.

490
00:47:58,780 --> 00:48:11,780
For every mystery, there is someone somewhere who knows the truth. Perhaps that someone was watching. Perhaps it's you.
