00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,600
This program is about unsolved mysteries. Whenever possible, the actual family members

2
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,680
and police officials have participated in recreating the events. What you are about

3
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:20,800
to see is not a news broadcast.

4
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,920
In Arizona, a successful real estate entrepreneur named Chuck Morgan was found shot to death.

5
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,800
Some believe this was a contract killing ordered by organized crime. The only significant clue

6
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,200
is a cryptic list Morgan scribbled on the back of a $2 bill.

7
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,880
1965, the South was embroiled in the painful civil rights struggle. In rural Louisiana,

8
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:46,200
a young black deputy sheriff was brutally murdered by unknown gunmen. Today, new evidence

9
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,680
has surfaced, and the case reopened by the FBI.

10
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,520
Dr. Tacoma, an unusual and heartwarming story concerning a young epilepsy victim and the

11
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:01,160
dog who saved her life, does a mysterious six cents enable some animals to actually predict

12
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:07,560
epileptic seizures. This is the only photograph of a bold bank robber who is cuddly committed

13
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,800
a series of successful holdups without ever being identified. Perhaps it will help you

14
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,720
put him behind bars.

15
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:20,040
We'll also tell you how you helped shed light on the bizarre case of a demented arsonist

16
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:26,400
who set fire to a house in a callous videotape the blaze. Thanks to our viewers, two suspects,

17
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:32,880
both teenagers are now in custody. Join me, and once again, you may be able to help solve

18
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:33,240
a mystery.

19
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:27,040
Tucson, Arizona, March 22, 1977. Chuck Morgan left as usual to drive two of his four daughters

20
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:38,280
to school. Riding the crest of Tucson's real estate boom, Morgan had become president of

21
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:44,240
his own escrow agency. From the outside his life looked ideal, the hardworking businessman

22
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:51,240
devoted husband and father. But in 1977, Chuck Morgan had become a potential witness in a

23
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:58,800
state land fraud case involving a known organized crime boss, and suddenly on March 22, Morgan

24
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,200
disappeared.

25
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:11,120
Three days later, Chuck Morgan returned home at two in the morning.

26
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,840
I was in bed and the dog started barking, and I got up and there was a thump against

27
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:23,840
the back door. I went to the door and opened it, and there was Chuck. And he was missing

28
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:33,160
a shoe. He had one plastic handcuff, around one ankle, and his hands still had the pawn.

29
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:41,160
I have a tooth. Mom, what happened to daddy? Just go back to your rooms. Go back to your

30
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,120
rooms.

31
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:49,160
He kept motioning to his throat because he hadn't said a word. Can you talk? Can you

32
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,160
write?

33
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:57,160
And he shook his head yes, so I went and got a tablet and pen.

34
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,160
Hallucinogenic?

35
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:12,160
He wrote that his throat had been painted with a hallucinogenic drug and that the drug

36
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:19,160
could drive him irrevocably insane or destroy his nervous system and kill him. And he wanted

37
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:28,960
the car moved. He wanted it moved immediately because he said that he didn't want them to

38
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,760
know he was home. He wouldn't tell me who they were.

39
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:34,760
I'm going to call the police.

40
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,760
And I wanted to call a doctor and I wanted to call the police. And he was adamant.

41
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,760
But why?

42
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:48,760
And then he wrote out that that would be signing a death warrant for the entire family.

43
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:58,760
For one week Ruth Morgan nursed her husband, feeding him water with an eyedropper. Before

44
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:05,760
his voice returned he began to allude to a secret identity, agent for the federal government.

45
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:12,760
He wrote, they took my treasury identification. And that's the first I'd heard of it.

46
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,760
Your treasury idea is missing? What treasury idea?

47
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,760
He wouldn't talk to me about it. He wrote. He had been working for them for about two

48
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:27,760
or three years. And that was it.

49
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:34,760
Who is responsible for this bizarre kidnapping episode in Chuck Morgan's life? It is possible

50
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,760
that Morgan really was a secret agent, dealing with organized crime so he could pass information

51
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,760
along to the government. But Morgan may also, like so many others in Arizona during the

52
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:50,760
70s, have become caught up himself in the web of organized crime.

53
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,760
Lured by the mild climate and a confused and corrupt criminal justice system, the mafia

54
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:01,760
established Arizona as an narcotics pipeline and a haven for swindlers and money laundering.

55
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:07,760
Led by former New York Don Joseph Bonanno, more than 500 established racketeers set up shop

56
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:13,760
here during the 70s. Their influence began a slew of gangland style killings, culminating

57
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:19,760
in the slaying of investigative reporter Don Bowles. What made Arizona particularly attractive

58
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,760
to crime syndicates was a unique state law which allowed them to buy up land through

59
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,760
numbered blind trust accounts. That way they themselves could remain anonymous, providing

60
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:35,760
a nearly foolproof way to launder money. Chuck Morgan did real estate escrow work for at

61
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,760
least one mafia family, and they may also have begun using him to do escrow work for purchases

62
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,760
of gold bullion and platinum, a more convenient way to launder money.

63
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:52,760
It is very easy to get in over your head. And I suspect that over the years Mr. Morgan was in

64
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,760
that kind of a situation. He was a straight businessman who probably got a little too close

65
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,760
to the flame. Well the sales agreement looks all in order, the legal description of the

66
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:08,760
parcel, the amount. He was around the edges of a couple of fairly large organized crime

67
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:19,760
groups in Arizona at that time. The records begin early 73 and it would indicate he was

68
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:26,760
doing perhaps upwards of a billion with a B, escrow work, and bullion and platinum.

69
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:32,760
Transactions that only existed on paper. There was never any gold at that level at least.

70
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,760
And money changed hands and moved through escrow accounts in Los Angeles and Atlanta

71
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:45,760
banks and that's how the monies were legitimized. Chuck mentioned to me once that there was

72
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:54,760
money laundering going on in this town. But nothing that he himself was involved in.

73
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,760
He told me the less the girls and I knew, the better off we would be.

74
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:05,760
After his kidnapping Chuck Morgan began exhibiting a justifiable paranoia. He wore a bulletproof

75
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,760
vest and insisted on driving his daughters to and from school. He informed the school

76
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:17,760
that no one else is authorized to pick the girls up. All his precautions were to no avail.

77
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:24,760
Two months after his first disappearance Chuck Morgan vanished again.

78
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:30,760
The last morning that anybody saw him he went up to his parents house and he was talking

79
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:36,760
to his father and told him that if anything happened to him there was a letter explaining

80
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:42,760
why, how and who. The letters never surfaced.

81
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,760
Nine days after her husband had disappeared, Ruth Morgan received a mysterious phone call.

82
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,760
The caller was a woman who gave Ruth a reference from the Bible.

83
00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:04,760
This woman said, Ruthie? I said yes. She said Chuck is alright. Ecclesiastics 12, 1 through 8.

84
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,760
And then she hung up.

85
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,760
The passage reads in part, men are afraid of a high place and of terrors on the road.

86
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:20,760
Remember him before the silver cord is broken and the golden bowl is crushed.

87
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:27,760
Then the dust will return to the earth as it was and the spirit will return to God who gave it.

88
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:34,760
Two days after Ruth's cryptic phone message her husband's body was discovered.

89
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:42,760
His bulletproof vest ironically in place. He had died from a single bullet fired at close range into the back of his head.

90
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:47,760
The bullet came from his own .357 Magnum which was lying beside him.

91
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:53,760
The investigators also found a piece of paper with directions to the murder site jotted down in Chuck's handwriting

92
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,760
and a pair of sunglasses which definitely did not belong to him.

93
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:05,760
They made one additional discovery. Apparently Chuck Morgan had clipped a $2 bill inside his underwear.

94
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,760
Written on the bill were seven Spanish names beginning with the letters A through G.

95
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:18,760
Above them was a notation Ecclesiastes 12 with the verses 1 through 8 marked by arrows drawn on the bill's serial number.

96
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:23,760
This was the same reference the mysterious female caller had given to Ruth Morgan.

97
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:31,760
On the back of the bill the signers of the Declaration of Independence were numbered 1 through 7 and a crude map was drawn.

98
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:37,760
The map is of some roads that do exist between Tucson and the Mexican border.

99
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,760
Going out to a place called Robles Junction and then going south through a little town called Saseby.

100
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,760
A ranch is identified down there where there are landing strips.

101
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,760
It's an area that very likely would be involved in smuggling.

102
00:10:49,760 --> 00:11:00,760
And there are some indications that if Mr. Morgan was involved in some movements of real gold that some of it in fact may have been coming across from Mexico in that fashion.

103
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,760
Despite the puzzling evidence many in the Sheriff's Department believe Chuck Morgan's death was a suicide.

104
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,760
They claimed he had shot himself in the back of the head.

105
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,760
There is no way Chuck would have committed suicide.

106
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:25,760
And if he had even contemplated suicide he would have left a letter for his girls and for me.

107
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,760
It is not a very normal place to shoot oneself as a suicide.

108
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,760
And bear in mind he's wearing a bulletproof vest at the time.

109
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:43,760
I've never seen in all my years as a journalist a fellow take himself out in the desert wearing a bulletproof vest and shoot himself in the back of the head.

110
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:49,760
I was familiar with the intelligence officers working intelligence for the Sheriff's Department at the time.

111
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,760
I had some conversation with them about this case.

112
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,760
They thought it was a homicide and gang related.

113
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,760
They left the Sheriff's Department.

114
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:09,760
I don't know if they left because of what they detected in this case or another case or a combination of cases but they indicated they were in fear of their lives and actually left law enforcement.

115
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,760
Two of them left the continental US.

116
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:20,760
Two days after Chuck Morgan's death an anonymous woman spoke to a member of the Pima County Sheriff's Department on the telephone.

117
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,760
She said Chuck had come to meet her at a local motel just before he died.

118
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:32,760
The woman called herself Green Eyes and said she was the same one who had called Chuck's wife quoting the passage from Ecclesiastes.

119
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:39,760
Green Eyes also said that in the motel Chuck showed her a briefcase containing thousands of dollars in cash.

120
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,760
He claimed the money would buy him out of a gang contract that had been put on his life.

121
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,760
How much do you have in there?

122
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,760
Hopefully $60,000.

123
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,760
Why do you need so much?

124
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,760
If the information that Green Eyes provided is accurate.

125
00:12:54,760 --> 00:13:00,760
It is in a very perverse sense remotely possible that Mr. Morgan paid for his own murder.

126
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,760
The theory goes that organized crime put the word out that they wanted Chuck Morgan dead.

127
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,760
A hit man then told Chuck who came up with the money to buy the hit man off.

128
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:21,760
But when the two of them met in the desert the hit man killed Chuck anyway and then took his money.

129
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,760
There is a great likelihood that Mr. Morgan was in fact doing something with the government.

130
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,760
And I think somebody blew his cover and I think he got killed.

131
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,760
Go put their money down.

132
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,760
I think this was a guy who was extremely naive about a lot of things.

133
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:48,760
The sort of associations he suddenly found himself in and maybe was even asked to put himself in by people in the US government.

134
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:59,760
Three weeks after her husband's death, Ruth Morgan had two visitors claiming to be government officials.

135
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,760
Jack Richards were special agents for the FBI.

136
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,760
They opened and closed their identification very fast.

137
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,760
They said they wanted to come in and look through the house.

138
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,760
I never thought of the time to ask them for a search warrant.

139
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,760
They never said what they were looking for.

140
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,760
To this day I don't even know what they were looking for.

141
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:27,760
The two men tore Ruth Morgan's house apart searching for something which they seemed unable to find.

142
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,760
Because she was so rattled, Ruth did not take down their names.

143
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,760
No one knows for sure if the two men really were from the FBI.

144
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,760
Don Devereaux contacted the Bureau to get more information on the Morgan case.

145
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:46,760
When I made a formal Freedom Information Act request to the FBI, they never heard of Mr. Morgan.

146
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:52,760
Despite the fact that they obviously opened an investigation, despite the fact that the FBI interviewed Mr. Morgan's attorney,

147
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,760
they were all over this thing like a blanket for a while.

148
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,760
But now they've never heard of the guy. He never existed.

149
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,760
No card, no file, no nothing.

150
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,760
Was Chuck Morgan doing undercover work for the government?

151
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:13,760
Or the clues he left behind on the $2 bill in an attempt to pass coded messages to the FBI?

152
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:20,760
Twelve years later, Ruth Morgan is still trying to unravel the strange clues left by her husband.

153
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,760
The passage from E.Clesiastes haunts her.

154
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:30,760
While the sun or the light or the moon or the stars be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain.

155
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,760
In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, I don't know what it means.

156
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:41,760
There's a message there somewhere. I know there is, but I don't. I don't know what it means.

157
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,760
I think the $2 bill provides the basis for some kind of cryptography.

158
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,760
I think there are some bases of some kind of a code there.

159
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,760
What seems to be missing, however, is the document that the $2 bill would unlock.

160
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:02,760
I think we need a companion piece to really make ultimate sense out of the $2 bill.

161
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:13,760
Is there a document that explains the mysterious death of Chuck Morgan, tying all the cryptic clues together?

162
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:19,760
Were the two men calling themselves federal agents searching for the document when they ransacked the Morgan home?

163
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,760
For Ruth Morgan, only one thing is certain.

164
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:29,760
He was murdered. Somebody held a gun to his head and killed him.

165
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,760
I don't know why.

166
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:39,760
I may never know why, and I probably will never know who.

167
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,760
But I know somebody did it.

168
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,760
He was the husband of someone. He was the father of four children.

169
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,760
Was he a good guy? Was he a bad guy?

170
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:57,760
If he was quietly providing assistance to the U.S. government and monitoring the activities of one or more major organized crime families,

171
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,760
he wasn't a villain. He was a good guy, and they need to know that.

172
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:07,760
When the segment aired, we received hundreds of calls relating to Morgan's death.

173
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:13,760
According to Devereux, who continued his investigation, many turned out to be productive leads.

174
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:22,760
Three months later, a draftsman at a Phoenix computer company, Doug Johnston, was found dead in his car outside his office.

175
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:29,760
Johnston had been shot once behind the ear, and police have suggested it was a possible suicide.

176
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:36,760
Curiously, Johnston worked across the street from Don Devereux's office and drove a car that almost exactly matched Devereux.

177
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:43,760
In fact, Devereux is now convinced that the bullet which killed Doug Johnston was intended for him.

178
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:52,760
I got a phone call from a journalist friend of mine from Washington, D.C., who had been briefed by a high-level CIA official

179
00:17:52,760 --> 00:18:01,760
that in fact that was a botched hit, that some people thought they were hitting me when they shot the guy across the street.

180
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:12,760
And in fact, there was still a contract outstanding, and it was coming around again, that whatever I had done was still a problem to someone.

181
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:19,760
Two other sources in the intelligence community have confirmed to Don Devereux that he is a target for murder,

182
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,760
and that the next attempt will be made to look like an accident.

183
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:27,760
We'll bring you a full report on this intriguing case in the near future.

184
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:40,760
Recently, we profiled a story that generated more than 1,600 phone calls from our viewers.

185
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:46,760
A case involved a fire that was apparently started by an arsonist, then recorded on videotape by the suspect.

186
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,760
This is what I've endured over the weeks for Cation.

187
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:57,760
This footage is from the actual videotape held on August 15, 1989 by a Stockton, California family.

188
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:03,760
I've never run across anything as eerie as this tape.

189
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:10,760
It frightened me, as a matter of fact. I thought about it that night when I went to bed.

190
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:17,760
Despite a frame by frame analysis of the video, investigators are unable to match the fire recorded on the tape

191
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,760
with any suspected arson fires reported in the state of California.

192
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:27,760
The burning structure appeared to be a wood frame house, perhaps in a rural area.

193
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:35,760
Because fire engines do arrive, investigators felt certain that somewhere a report of the blaze was on fire.

194
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:44,760
I think the person who made this videotape and is responsible for the fire will, without a doubt in my mind, continue to set fires.

195
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:50,760
And the person needs to be apprehended and stopped before his fires become more destructive.

196
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:57,760
Update, Redwood City, California, 60 miles west of Stockton.

197
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:02,760
Within minutes of our broadcast, several viewers from Redwood City called our telecenter

198
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,760
and identified the location of the house seen burning on the videotape.

199
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:15,760
As we were sitting here and we looked at the film on the TV, we realized with utter shock that it was the house behind us that was on TV.

200
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:20,760
And our family was scared to say the least because we didn't realize that the film even existed.

201
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:26,760
And it was those minutes of stake in my mind and all that. That was the house that was behind us by watching the videotape on TV.

202
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,760
We called in the Sun Solve Ministries and gave all the information.

203
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:37,760
The arson occurred on August 15, 1988. The house that was destroyed was under construction at the time.

204
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:46,760
The day it has been rebuilt, in credibly, on the night of the blaze, Woodside Fire Captain Don Dellings also videotaped the fire.

205
00:20:46,760 --> 00:21:00,760
While I was setting up the command post, directing companies in to extinguish the fire, I had set up my videocamera to film the fire for training investigation purposes.

206
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:11,760
By comparing Captain Dellings' tape with a video shot by the arsonist, investigators were able to confirm, beyond a doubt, the fire's location.

207
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:17,760
Some of the calls received led us to a 17-year-old Woodside youth.

208
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:23,760
We interviewed that youth. Through that interview, it led us to a 19-year-old Redwood City youth.

209
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:33,760
He was arrested and interviewed and subsequently admitted burning the house, taking the video, and was the one who talked on the videotape.

210
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:42,760
Our biggest hope was that maybe we would find an area or location of the fire. We never dreamed that we'd get the results that we did.

211
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:57,760
One of the two suspects is currently awaiting trial on charges of arson. Investigators believe that between them, the two suspects may also be responsible for as many as 25 arson fires in the Redwood City area over the past three years.

212
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:26,760
In the early 1960s, the American South was at a crossroads.

213
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:33,760
Selma, Birmingham and Greensboro were just a few of the battlegrounds with a desire for racial equality became a demand.

214
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:41,760
With segregation starting to crumble, blacks and whites faced off in tense, often violent confrontations.

215
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:51,760
In Washington Parish, Louisiana, the black community began to push for integration of the Sheriff's Department.

216
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,760
In response, two black deputies were appointed.

217
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:07,760
On June 1, 1964, 46-year-old David Creed Rogers and 34-year-old O'Neill Moore became the first black law enforcement officers in Washington Parish.

218
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:23,760
It was just a great day. Knowing my husband was the first Negro deputy, he got in his car and he turned his radio on and reported it in, and we were just tickled.

219
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:29,760
At that time, feelings were running very high, very high.

220
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:41,760
And people, some people, not all people, was against the blacks taking apart in any part of law enforcement or anything.

221
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:50,760
A year later, Deputy Sheriff O'Neill Moore was gunned down while on duty in a racially motivated attack.

222
00:23:51,760 --> 00:24:01,760
On June 6, 1965, Moore was laid to rest, an unheralded martyr of the civil rights struggle. His killer was never identified.

223
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:08,760
Moore's partner, Creed Rogers, lost an eye on the attack, but survived.

224
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:16,760
I would like to know who did it for my sakes and everybody else to know who the neighbors are.

225
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:25,760
I know I wouldn't want to live next door to anybody, black or white, whatever, was dirty enough to do something like that.

226
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:32,760
Today, Southerners are justifiably proud of the enormous strides made by both blacks and whites and putting the past behind them.

227
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,760
But 25 years ago, times were different.

228
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:41,760
Black deputies such as O'Neill Moore and Creed Rogers were not allowed to confront whites, much less arrest them.

229
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:48,760
But despite the fact that they were working in a white world that barely tolerated their presence, O'Neill and Creed persevered.

230
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,760
They promised themselves that they would not let their community down.

231
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,760
It was the night of June 2, 1965.

232
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:16,760
After a year on duty, O'Neill and Creed had come to expect harassment, so they were not surprised when a pickup truck began to tailgate them.

233
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,760
It ain't so bad at night because you get to hold your head up in the morning.

234
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:30,760
We got on Peter's heel, about two miles north of Ornidor. We saw fire on the left of the road.

235
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:39,760
So we made a U-turn to inspect the fire. It was wooded air as if it was fogging out.

236
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:42,760
What do you think?

237
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,760
Hell, it ain't nothing but old trash fire. Come on.

238
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,760
We checked the fire and saw it was just a trash fire. It wasn't no danger.

239
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,760
So we made a U-turn and proceeded on south.

240
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,760
And this truck had cooled over to the right.

241
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,760
And as we passed them, the truck cooled out and began to fall.

242
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,760
It appeared to be a dark truck, black.

243
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,760
I noticed it had a white grill and a rebel tag on the front.

244
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,760
So as we headed south, it continued fall.

245
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,760
The truck was hit by a car.

246
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,760
The car hit the tree and they passed still shooting.

247
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,760
And evidently the last shot got him, it knocked it over on me.

248
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:55,760
You guys all right?

249
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,760
Hearing the shots, a local resident ran to the accident scene.

250
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,760
He found O'Neal Moore dead and Creed Rogers badly injured.

251
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,760
He stood guard until police arrived.

252
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,760
Chief Deputy Sheriff Doyle Holliday arrived a few minutes later.

253
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,760
He began an investigation that would consume the next several months.

254
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,760
When I got up there, I found Deputy O'Neal Moore dead.

255
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,760
And Deputy Creed Rogers all shot up.

256
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:32,760
A black truck.

257
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,760
Creed, he described the truck right down to the last detail.

258
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:39,760
You're going to be okay.

259
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,760
And I immediately put out an APB on that truck.

260
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,760
And less than about 30 or 45 minutes,

261
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,760
they called me from my office and told me that they had apprehended

262
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:57,760
a truck of that description in Tillertown, Mississippi.

263
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:05,760
The truck fit the description to a tee of what Creed had told me

264
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,760
with the exception of the side rails.

265
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,760
There were no side rails on the truck at the time of apprehension.

266
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,760
The truck was stopped just 20 miles from the scene of the shooting.

267
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,760
The driver was arrested, but was soon released on a $25,000 bond.

268
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,760
The charges were later dismissed due to lack of evidence.

269
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,760
Suspicion naturally focused on the Ku Klux Klan,

270
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,760
but the local chapter immediately denied any involvement.

271
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,760
Racial tensions increased.

272
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,760
In Washington, Paris, the sheriff refused to give in to the pressure.

273
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,760
O'Neal Moore was replaced by another black deputy.

274
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,760
It really didn't accomplish anything because when they

275
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,760
was trying to get rid of Creed and O'Neal,

276
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,760
it didn't frighten them.

277
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:58,760
They just give others more get up and go about them.

278
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,760
It really gave them more courage.

279
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,760
They weren't going to get the black deputies off of the sheriff's department.

280
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:09,760
Because it was, it wasn't any time after that until the sheriff called me one day

281
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,760
and told me to go and hire another one.

282
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,760
Well, we can't get on the first thing in the morning.

283
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,760
O'Neal Holliday continued to pursue his investigation.

284
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,760
Two weeks after the shooting, the violence came to his home.

285
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,760
After I got through talking to the sheriff,

286
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,760
I went over and sat down on the couch.

287
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,760
That's when the shot ran out.

288
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,760
I hollered to get down, and I grabbed my gun, it was laying on the table,

289
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,760
and went out the door, fired.

290
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,760
And they immediately took off.

291
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,760
It might have been stepping on somebody's toes, I don't know.

292
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:51,760
But I don't know why they picked me out, singled me out,

293
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,760
because even had they backed off, they would have been in the house.

294
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,760
They would have taken me out, singled me out,

295
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,760
because even had they backed me down, which they didn't,

296
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,760
they still had the FBI and the state police to contend with.

297
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,760
The local population refused to cooperate with the FBI or local authorities

298
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,760
despite a $25,000 reward from the governor of Louisiana.

299
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,760
The case was deemed inactive in 1967.

300
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:26,760
25 years ago, the Klan was so strong

301
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,760
that the people would not open their mouths.

302
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,760
They would not give you a lead on anything,

303
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,760
for fear of their house being burnt,

304
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,760
or some member of their family being hurt, or something of that effect.

305
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,760
Back then, it didn't want anything to do with the FBI,

306
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,760
the state police, or the local police.

307
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,760
In June of 1987, the FBI field office in New Orleans

308
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:59,760
was contacted by one informant and received letters from two other anonymous sources.

309
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,760
They claimed to identify the people responsible for O'Neill Moore's murder.

310
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,760
As a result of this new information, the case was reopened.

311
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:14,760
One of the two letters is very specific on identifying individuals

312
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:20,760
that were within the pickup truck and the getaway route of the pickup truck involved.

313
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:25,760
We have looked at the three individuals specifically mentioned in this anonymous letter,

314
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:31,760
have interviewed their families, or anyone that may be associated with these three individuals.

315
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,760
Let me write this down now.

316
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,760
The FBI does not currently have enough information to make any arrests.

317
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,760
However, they do believe that the killers belong to the Klan.

318
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:48,760
We feel that it was members of the Ku Klux Klan that took part in this shooting,

319
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,760
but they did it on their own.

320
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:55,760
They didn't allow other individuals to have knowledge of what they were going to do.

321
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:06,760
It has been 25 years since O'Neill Moore and his partner took their last ride together.

322
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:13,760
Creed Rogers refused to be frightened away from his chosen career,

323
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:19,760
and in 1988 he retires a full captain from the Washington Parish Sheriff's Department.

324
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,760
I still wonder who could have done it.

325
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,760
That that'll be with me forever. Who could have done that?

326
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:37,760
When people try to key in, you hadn't did anything to them, that never leaves you mind.

327
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,760
Sometimes you wanted to still out there, still wanting to try.

328
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:46,760
It's a bad feeling.

329
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:53,760
I think that a lot of people that was involved back then are getting on up in years like myself,

330
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:58,760
and they don't want to go face the Almighty with that on their conscience.

331
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:03,760
I think before the final day, somebody's going to get it off of their chest.

332
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:10,760
The death of O'Neill Moore was a crime against every American.

333
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:15,760
That his killers are still at large after 25 years is a further affront.

334
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:20,760
Their capture will not ease the pain felt by O'Neill's family and friends,

335
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:26,760
but it will certainly prove that while justice may not always be blind, it does have a long memory.

336
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:45,760
When we return, a story of a remarkable dog who helped save the life of an epilepsy victim by predicting her seizures.

337
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:59,520
The next story is a unique and heartwarming mystery.

338
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,840
It deals with a bond between people and animals.

339
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,800
In the amazing sixth sense, some animals

340
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,880
possess when it comes to helping and protecting

341
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:06,640
their owners.

342
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:15,400
Minneapolis, Minnesota, December 4, 1984, 2 AM.

343
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,600
15 minutes earlier, a drunk driver

344
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,000
had run a red light and collided with a car driven

345
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,280
by 19-year-old Victoria Dorishenko.

346
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,200
Victoria was left unconscious and suffering

347
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,720
from multiple head injuries.

348
00:34:32,720 --> 00:34:36,320
Before the accident, I had a perfect life for a teenager.

349
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,600
After the accident, I lost everything.

350
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,240
I couldn't go back to school.

351
00:34:40,240 --> 00:34:42,520
I lost my job.

352
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,360
I was in and out of the hospital so many times

353
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:46,760
that there was no way that I could even

354
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:47,960
function with a normal life.

355
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,560
I felt really lost.

356
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,000
I felt like somebody had taken away my life for what

357
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,480
life I had after the accident.

358
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,400
Victoria was plagued by headaches and periodic blackouts.

359
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,080
A year and a half later, she moved to Tacoma, Washington,

360
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,040
hoping to put the accident and her injuries behind her.

361
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:12,920
Then in August of 1986, while she was already hospitalized,

362
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,920
Victoria suffered a violent seizure.

363
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,760
The symptoms were clear.

364
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,160
Victoria had epilepsy.

365
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,120
Is she breathing?

366
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,760
Let's get her on her side.

367
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,840
Possible to exit?

368
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,840
In her automobile accident, brain cells

369
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,280
had been damaged, disrupting normal activity

370
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,280
and causing seizures.

371
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:37,720
For Victoria, the prognosis was grim.

372
00:35:37,720 --> 00:35:39,040
When my seizures were at their worst,

373
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,880
I was having up to 24 a day, big ones.

374
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:50,280
And in between the big ones, I was having about 10 little ones.

375
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,480
The doctors didn't think that I was going to live very much

376
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,160
longer.

377
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,960
The severity of Victoria's seizures

378
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,240
left her completely incapacitated.

379
00:35:59,240 --> 00:36:02,400
She fell often, re-injuring her head, which only induced

380
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,480
more seizures.

381
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,120
She was confined to a wheelchair and required

382
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,520
to be around the clock care.

383
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,480
Because Victoria's lungs filled with fluid during and after

384
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:19,240
the seizures, death was a constant threat.

385
00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:22,400
Her situation seemed hopeless.

386
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,840
You take care of yourself now.

387
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:25,760
I couldn't do anything.

388
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,200
I couldn't leave the house.

389
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:28,480
When I did leave the house, I had

390
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:32,440
to have enough people around me that could pick me up

391
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,880
or carry me if need be, or whatever,

392
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,120
if I was having a seizure.

393
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,480
I had to be strapped in to somewhere

394
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,200
because the seizures were so violent

395
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,600
that I would throw myself around and injure myself.

396
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,560
I wasn't awake most of the time.

397
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,120
When I was awake, I was really depressed.

398
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,320
I didn't want to live.

399
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,440
Victoria would find help in an unlikely place.

400
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,640
The Purdy Correctional Center for Women,

401
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,800
a prison 25 miles outside Tacoma.

402
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,640
There, the state of Washington has set up a special program.

403
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,560
Under the guidance of a professional,

404
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,240
the inmates' trained dogs rescued from the pound

405
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:13,760
as companions and aides for the handicapped.

406
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,160
The dogs learn to open and close doors,

407
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,440
pick up a telephone receiver, pull wheelchairs,

408
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,440
fetch things like clothing and hairbrushes.

409
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,560
In 1987, Victoria heard about the program

410
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,200
and went to the prison.

411
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,480
It was a decision that would save her life.

412
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,760
I was hoping for a dog that could help me in my daily living

413
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:36,680
skills.

414
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:37,960
And I was real lonely.

415
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:38,840
I didn't have a life.

416
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,400
I didn't have a social life.

417
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:44,160
So I thought maybe that a dog would help.

418
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,200
When Victoria arrived for her interview,

419
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,840
inmate trainers were working in the room with two dogs,

420
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,600
both golden retrievers.

421
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,760
One of the dogs had been chosen for Victoria.

422
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,080
That day, when I was out of the program,

423
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:00,920
I ended up having a major seizure.

424
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,920
Sherry!

425
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,200
And the dog that they were originally training for me

426
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,520
just walked away from me and didn't care.

427
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:14,200
The second dog in the room, whose name was Harley,

428
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,920
defied his trainer's commands and did respond.

429
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,880
When Vicki started seizureing and Harley went to her

430
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,680
and laid down with her, everybody in the room

431
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,520
was astounded.

432
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:34,760
The dog was doing what we had hoped he could learn to do.

433
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,960
Before we ever hoped he could learn to do it,

434
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,000
he'd somehow knew.

435
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,640
When I woke up from my seizure, I woke up and his head was laying

436
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:44,560
on me.

437
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,000
He was looking at me like all sad.

438
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,120
And he knew something was wrong.

439
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,360
As soon as I started patting him, I think he realized that everything

440
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:51,280
was OK.

441
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:52,480
He started wagging his tail.

442
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:53,960
And it was from there on.

443
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,480
I knew that that was my dog.

444
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,280
And I knew it was going to work.

445
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:01,480
He was my partner from then on.

446
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,440
No one could explain why Harley responded to Victoria

447
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,440
during her seizure.

448
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,960
The prison program had discovered another dog which

449
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,840
showed a special sensitivity to epileptics,

450
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,480
again with no explanation.

451
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,560
Why do certain animals appear to establish

452
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,160
this immediate sympathetic bond?

453
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,520
For the medical community, this question is an intriguing one.

454
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,960
For Victoria Doroshenko, it was a question of life and death.

455
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:33,200
Once Harley was with Victoria full time,

456
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,840
her anxiety diminished, and the frequency of her seizures

457
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,520
decreased dramatically.

458
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,920
Victoria's doctors allowed her to resume classes

459
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,200
at a local community college.

460
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,160
Harley was Victoria's constant companion.

461
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,560
I was at Tacoma Community College,

462
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,480
and I was walking across campus.

463
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,360
And he all of a sudden started acting real funny.

464
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:57,920
He didn't want to cooperate.

465
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,320
He didn't want to listen to me.

466
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:04,320
What is it, boy?

467
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:05,320
What is it?

468
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,320
Come down.

469
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:08,200
Come down.

470
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:09,080
Come on.

471
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:09,680
Come down.

472
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:10,080
Come on.

473
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:10,880
Let's go.

474
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,280
Let's go.

475
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:12,680
Come on.

476
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,880
Harley was a real laid back dog.

477
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,440
He wasn't rambunctious like that, or rambunctious.

478
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,040
So when he started acting that way,

479
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,680
I really didn't know what was happening.

480
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:24,240
Excuse me.

481
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:25,360
Can I sit down here?

482
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:25,860
Yes.

483
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:32,960
Thank you.

484
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,320
I'm not feeling so well.

485
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:35,600
Can I do something for you?

486
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,360
No, I just want to sit here for a while.

487
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,040
Harley calmed down once Victoria was safely

488
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,040
inside a classroom.

489
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,960
Five minutes later, she had a major seizure.

490
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,800
Amazingly, it appeared to Victoria and to others present

491
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,640
that Harley had somehow known Victoria

492
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,640
was going to have a seizure.

493
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,520
His barking and strange behavior had been a signal for her

494
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,360
to go to a safe place.

495
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,160
When I realized Harley could predict my seizures ahead of time,

496
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,160
I was so thrilled.

497
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,000
I knew that I was saved.

498
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,200
It changed my life completely.

499
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,560
After his first prediction, Harley never

500
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,560
failed to warn Victoria of her own life.

501
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,480
Harley never failed to warn Victoria

502
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,000
when a seizure was coming on.

503
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,280
He only exhibited the same aberrant behavior,

504
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:28,200
giving Victoria 15 to 45 minutes notice before the seizure

505
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,880
was about to strike.

506
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,520
So after that, the bond and the trust and the love

507
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,760
and the dependency grew and grew and grew

508
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,360
until there was no comparing it.

509
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:41,880
We were each other.

510
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,200
We became like one, a shadow.

511
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,920
Harley changed Victoria's life dramatically.

512
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,040
She now felt comfortable enough to leave her house

513
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,560
whenever she wanted.

514
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,720
She began to interact with other people again.

515
00:41:54,720 --> 00:41:58,520
If she had a seizure, Harley always stayed by her side.

516
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,880
He sensed danger and kept her away from traffic

517
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,120
if a seizure was coming on.

518
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:04,880
For the first time since her accident,

519
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,640
Victoria enjoyed the comfort and security of a normal life.

520
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,560
Modern technology and physicians, doctors, and none of us

521
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,360
can predict when a seizure will occur

522
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,560
or how many seizures a person will have.

523
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,160
These drugs can.

524
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,520
They can detail beforehand when a seizure will occur.

525
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,800
They can warn the person, which is an incredible phenomena,

526
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,720
so that the person can feel safe.

527
00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:28,680
They can be safe.

528
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,600
They can have the comfort of having a drug with them

529
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,000
at all times, because the anxiety of having a seizure

530
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,640
is with someone all the time.

531
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:43,040
I can never, never repay him or show the devotion

532
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:47,360
I have for him from what he's done for me.

533
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,840
In June of 1990, Harley became ill.

534
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,920
Veterinarians could do nothing.

535
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:57,120
And in July, Harley died.

536
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,160
There's no worse to describe how I felt about Harley.

537
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,240
He gave me a life, and that's a life

538
00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:04,840
is more than you could ever give anybody.

539
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,200
The Epilepsy Institute has received reports of 15 other dogs

540
00:43:11,240 --> 00:43:14,360
who seem to be able to predict epileptic seizures.

541
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,000
Six of these animals came from the Purdy Correctional Center

542
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,240
for Women.

543
00:43:18,240 --> 00:43:20,360
No one can explain why certain dogs seem

544
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,280
to have an innate sensitivity to epileptics.

545
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,600
For the victims of epilepsy, whose quality of life

546
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,280
is so greatly improved by these dogs,

547
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,640
no explanation is necessary.

548
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,920
They are happy to accept this particular unsolved mystery

549
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:34,680
at face value.

550
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,440
Next, the story of a crook who pulled

551
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,840
off a series of daring bankers.

552
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,680
Finally, he has been captured on film.

553
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,480
On September 19, 1987, a well-dressed man

554
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,080
entered a Spokane Washington bank.

555
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,280
May I help you?

556
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,160
Stand up and move away from the desk quickly.

557
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:07,160
Move over.

558
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,840
To the counter.

559
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,520
Both of you, back away from the counter quickly.

560
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:14,760
Don't touch any alarms.

561
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,520
Do exactly as you're told.

562
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,920
You, get over here with the others.

563
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,240
No tricks.

564
00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:23,720
No fast moves.

565
00:44:23,720 --> 00:44:25,960
The robber is calm and controlled,

566
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,320
seemingly prepared for any eventuality.

567
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,000
Take them out slowly.

568
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,880
He even showed the terrified banker

569
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,400
he's a police scanner, claiming that he would know

570
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,080
if they managed to alert the law.

571
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:37,440
I'll know about it.

572
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,040
Move.

573
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,640
The robber ignored the easy money sitting in the teller's

574
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:42,480
drawers.

575
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,880
Instead, he ordered everyone into the vault.

576
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,400
Hurry up.

577
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:53,320
In his first robbery, he stole more than $100,000.

578
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,720
Hurry up.

579
00:44:55,720 --> 00:44:58,480
It was over in less than five minutes.

580
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,040
The robber left no fingerprints behind,

581
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,840
even managed to avoid being photographed.

582
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,560
The reason for that is the way he very quickly

583
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,280
got control of the situation, prevented any photographs

584
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,200
from being obtained.

585
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:17,880
Between this first bank robbery in September of 1987

586
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:23,640
and the present, he has robbed four more banks here in Spokane,

587
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:28,360
using very similar method.

588
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:32,360
On August 30, 1988, the band had stole $14,000

589
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,800
from another Spokane bank and received

590
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,200
an unexpected bonus.

591
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:42,960
A die pack was given to the robber, which went off very

592
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,720
shortly after he left the bank, within seconds of him leaving

593
00:45:45,720 --> 00:45:46,720
the bank.

594
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,240
Obviously, that caused a commotion on the street,

595
00:45:53,240 --> 00:45:55,360
and a witness did observe that commotion.

596
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,960
And as a result of that, saw him get into a vehicle

597
00:45:58,960 --> 00:45:59,880
and make his escape.

598
00:46:02,720 --> 00:46:05,560
After another robbery in November of 1988,

599
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,440
bank employees were able to help create

600
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,560
composites of the bandit.

601
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,760
But these sketches were no substitute for photographs.

602
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,320
Amazingly, he had still managed to avoid the omnipresent bank

603
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,840
cameras.

604
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:22,440
But on June 6, 1989, when he paid a visit to Spokane's

605
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:26,200
Horizon Federal Credit Union, his luck changed.

606
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,960
This time, frightened but resourceful bank tellers

607
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,960
stood up to threats.

608
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,440
We said hi, and he said hi.

609
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:38,640
And he walked up to the counter and pulled up his gun

610
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,600
and put on sunglasses at the same time,

611
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,480
and then told us that he wanted to go into the vault

612
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:45,840
and get the money out.

613
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,000
He had one of the girls hold the bag,

614
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,960
and while I got the money, I put the money in the bag.

615
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,880
And he told us to empty out the teller drawers.

616
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,240
He went to one drawer at a time.

617
00:46:56,240 --> 00:46:59,040
And when we were emptying them out,

618
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,240
that we pulled all the money out.

619
00:47:01,240 --> 00:47:04,760
And there's a bill trap underneath some of the bills.

620
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:06,760
And we pulled the money out from underneath the bill

621
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,880
trap, which triggered the alarm.

622
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,560
Not only was a silent alarm activated,

623
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:17,160
but the bank surveillance camera was also triggered.

624
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:21,520
For the first time, a robber was captured on film.

625
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,800
I was really scared when I pulled the bill trap.

626
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:28,120
I thought, if this guy knew that I pulled it, I'm in trouble.

627
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,080
And I just knew that I had to do it, though.

628
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,080
It was nothing else I could do.

629
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:40,080
Getting a photo in this robbery was a big step forward for us

630
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:41,320
in our investigation.

631
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:45,160
Up till this point, all we had were witness descriptions

632
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:46,240
of the bank robber.

633
00:47:46,240 --> 00:47:49,280
Now we have an actual photograph and a very good photograph

634
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,880
to work with to help us identify him.

635
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,160
It did result in us linking him to three additional bank

636
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:59,360
robberies as a suspect in Tucson, Arizona.

637
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,280
So that was, again, a major step forward

638
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,320
in determining the scope of what he's been doing,

639
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:08,040
as well as an aid to identification.

640
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,120
The robber appears to be between 35 and 45,

641
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,520
6 feet to 6 feet 2 inches tall, and weighs between 200

642
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,480
and 220 pounds.

643
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,120
He seems tanned and healthy.

644
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,920
And the FBI believes he may live in the Southwest,

645
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:25,120
commuting to banks in the Pacific Northwest.

646
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,640
In order to protect their employees,

647
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,320
the Horizon Federal Credit Union

648
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,200
has transferred those involved in the holdup

649
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:32,880
to new locations and have redesigned

650
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:34,960
their internal security.

651
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,240
Meanwhile, the robber has been busy.

652
00:48:37,240 --> 00:48:40,080
Since 1987, the elusive robber has allegedly

653
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,680
held up at least nine banks, six in the Pacific Northwest

654
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:45,520
and three in the Southwest.

655
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:50,880
His last known heist was in April of 1990.

656
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,160
Unbeknownst to him, this time he was captured on videotape.

657
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,960
These are still frames taken from the videotape.

658
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,800
At 10 30 AM, a bandit strolled into a Tacoma Washington bank
