1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,680 This program is about unsolved mysteries. 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,360 Whenever possible, the actual family members and police 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,400 officials have participated in recreating the events. 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,200 What you are about to see is not a news broadcast. 5 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,320 Televangelist Pat Robertson's outspoken opinions 6 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,080 have often made him the target of criticism. 7 00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:25,520 But in 1990, Robertson was targeted for violence, 8 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,920 delivered to the police, and he was 9 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,440 targeted for violence, delivered through the mail. 10 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,600 Authorities believe the bomber has struck before and fear 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,000 that he will strike again. 12 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000 As a teenager, Kathy Williams suffered 13 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,160 years of physical and emotional abuse 14 00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:44,200 inflicted by her stepfather, a policeman. 15 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,800 When Kathy went to the authorities, 16 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,200 she found herself victimized again and unjustly committed 17 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,400 to reform school. 18 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,400 In July of 1990, Beverly McGowan of Boca Raton, Florida 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,040 placed an ad for a roommate which 20 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,520 was answered by a mysterious woman known only as Alice. 21 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,200 One week later, Beverly's mutilated body 22 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,600 was found in a drainage canal 100 miles away. 23 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,200 For every mystery, there is someone, 24 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,720 somewhere who knows the truth. 25 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,000 Perhaps that someone is watching. 26 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,960 Perhaps it's you. 27 00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:16,960 Join me. 28 00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:48,960 Come on, guys! 29 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:49,960 Come on, guys! 30 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,480 That's why this thing is so important. 31 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,520 There are one flesh. 32 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,920 God said, I hate divorce. 33 00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:14,520 Televangelist Pat Robertson's daily broadcast 34 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,680 of the CBN, the Christian Broadcasting Network, 35 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,120 are seen in nearly a million households nationwide. 36 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,120 But his outspoken stance on controversial issues 37 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,480 is often made in the target of hate mail and death threats. 38 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,200 Of what this does to society. 39 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,840 Robertson's broadcasts originate 40 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:38,040 from his 693-acre headquarters in Virginia Beach, Virginia. 41 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,760 Each day, more than 6,000 letters and parcels 42 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,600 pour into the CBN mailroom. 43 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,960 Most of them donations from devoted viewers. 44 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,400 Because of the controversy generated 45 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,600 by Robertson's opinions, any package 46 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,600 which appears even mildly suspicious 47 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,120 is run through an X-ray machine. 48 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,760 On April 27, 1990, Scott Sheepers, a CBN security guard, 49 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,280 was called to the mailroom to check a package addressed 50 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,640 personally to Pat Robertson. 51 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,560 No one else was in the area at the time. 52 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,880 When I looked at the package on the monitor of the X-ray machine, 53 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,520 I didn't see anything that led me to believe 54 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,000 that there was a problem or it was really suspicious. 55 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:50,320 Sheepers remained on guard and decided to check the contents 56 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,720 of the package. 57 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,400 He was baffled by several strips of newspapers 58 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,600 sticking out of the box. 59 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,640 I was still somewhat skeptical about it. 60 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,320 I stepped away from the box as far as I could get 61 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,720 and took my left hand and extended it out 62 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,240 and grabbed the lid of the box. 63 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,760 I was immediately knocked to the floor. 64 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,280 I had severe pain in the upper part of my left leg 65 00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:32,880 and my abdomen over to my right leg. 66 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,480 I made the determination that this is it. 67 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,880 It's either lay here and possibly die or get up and get help. 68 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,240 So that's when I made the determination to help myself 69 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,320 and pick myself off the floor and try 70 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,480 to get to the front of the building. 71 00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:53,280 Sheepers was rushed to a nearby hospital 72 00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:55,040 where he underwent emergency surgery 73 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,520 to remove the strap embedded in his leg. 74 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,360 I'm very fortunate. 75 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,840 The trauma room doctor said if I'd 76 00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:09,160 been holding the package and I had the same size hole in my chest 77 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,680 that I have in my leg, I might not have even 78 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,240 made it out of the room itself. 79 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,680 So I consider myself very, very fortunate 80 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,240 that it wasn't any worse than it was. 81 00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:31,200 Postal inspectors and agents for the Bureau of Alcohol, 82 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,600 Tobacco, and Firearms determined that the package contained 83 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,680 a homemade pipe bomb. 84 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,200 They quickly linked the bomb to an earlier attack 85 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,880 aimed at another televangelist in Texas. 86 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,720 In 1960, Pastor John Osteen founded the Lakewood Church 87 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:51,840 in Houston. 88 00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:55,160 With 8,200 seats, Lakewood is one of the largest 89 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,880 churches in America. 90 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,040 Peter, who is this? 91 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,400 He said to Jesus, thou art the Christ, the Son. 92 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,120 Like Robertson, Pastor Osteen uses television 93 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,520 to spread the gospel. 94 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,080 But unlike Robertson, he does not ask for donations on the air. 95 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,160 Who is this? 96 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,280 You demons, speak. 97 00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:18,280 The Lakewood Church is a family-run organization. 98 00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:20,920 Osteen's wife, Dodie, serves as co-pastor. 99 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,840 And four of the six children are involved in church activities. 100 00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:24,400 Amen. 101 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,440 And everybody said amen. 102 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,480 On January 30, 1990, three months before the CBN bombing, 103 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,040 Osteen's daughter, Lisa, arrived in her office 104 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,400 to open the day's mail. 105 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,880 I noticed a box, and I picked it up, and it was very heavy. 106 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,720 It's a little unusual and different. 107 00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:52,400 I felt like it was safe to open the package, 108 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,280 because I opened a lot of packages, 109 00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:55,720 as we never had any problems. 110 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,720 And this looked like an ordinary package. 111 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,720 It had a label dressed in my dad type written to my dad, 112 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,960 and then it had a return address. 113 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,880 And you're not really suspicious of things like that. 114 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,600 It was just a cardboard box, and it had one piece of tape on it. 115 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,600 I opened the package. 116 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,600 I remember this great explosion, and it shook my body. 117 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,600 And I didn't lose consciousness, but there was a time I opened 118 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,600 the box when I was sitting down. 119 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,600 And really, the next thing I remember 120 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,600 is I was standing about five feet away from the box. 121 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,600 And I remember the first time I opened the package, 122 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,600 and I remember the first time I opened the package. 123 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,600 And I remember the first time I opened the package. 124 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,600 And I remember standing about five feet away from my chair. 125 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,600 And I was very shaken as if I'd had an electrical shock. 126 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,600 I'll never forget that feeling. 127 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,600 Lisa had been the victim of a pipe bomb wrapped in newspaper. 128 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,600 She suffered third-degree burns and lacerations 129 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,600 on her right leg and abdomen. 130 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,600 She recovered from her injuries, 131 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,600 and just four weeks later returned to the pulpit. 132 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,600 I said, I'm alive and well. Thank God. 133 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,600 Thank God. 134 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,600 The box that was used to mail this device 135 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,600 was a box used by home sales distributors 136 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,600 for the distribution of candles. 137 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,600 And there was some printed material on the outside of the box, 138 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:35,600 which had been scratched out with the word burgundy written on the box. 139 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,600 We found that both of these packages were mailed 140 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,600 from small towns near Fayetteville, North Carolina. 141 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,600 The National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crimes 142 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,600 researched all the evidence in both the bombing cases. 143 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,600 They said, number one, that this individual responsible for the bombings 144 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,600 had some type of stress or turmoil in his life 145 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,600 at the time of the bombings. 146 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,600 Secondly, they felt that anyone around 147 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,600 who had the presence of the bomber 148 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,600 would have known a difference in this person's behavior. 149 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,600 If I could talk to the man that sent the bomb to me, 150 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,600 I think I would just say that I wish you would give yourself up 151 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:33,600 and receive help because, you know, I was just an innocent victim. 152 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,600 You sent that bomb to me. You hurt me. 153 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,600 I have scars on my body. You could have killed me. 154 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,600 And it's not right for an innocent victim 155 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,600 for that to happen to an innocent victim. 156 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,600 I would like to see him caught. 157 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,600 I don't have any real tremendous amount of hate or animosity for him. 158 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,600 He needs help. He's hurt several people. 159 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,600 And I'd like to see him taken off the street 160 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,600 before he kills somebody or kills somebody. 161 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,600 These two composites depict the men who were seen mailing the bombs. 162 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,600 The drawings are made three months apart by two different police artists. 163 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,600 But authorities are convinced they portray the same individual. 164 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,600 He is described as a neatly dressed white male with brown hair. 165 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,600 He is between 28 and 35 years old, about 5 feet 11 inches tall, 166 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,600 with average build. 167 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,600 He weighs between 160 and 175 pounds. 168 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,600 The bombs are mailed from Bladenborough and Elizabeth Town, North Carolina. 169 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,600 Both are small towns within 25 miles of Fayetteville. 170 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,600 Fortunately, there have been no other incidents 171 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,600 since the CBN bombing in 1990. 172 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,600 However, authorities fear the bomber may strike again. 173 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,600 Next, a young mother convicted of murder wins her final appeal. 174 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,600 Tonight, a very special update. 175 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,600 Thanks in part to our broadcast, 176 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,600 a young mother unjustly accused of murdering her child has been freed. 177 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,600 July 9th, 1989, St. Louis, Missouri. 178 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,600 Patty Stallings rushed her critically ill son to the hospital. 179 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,600 Brian Stallings was three months old, 180 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,600 and since birth he had suffered from chronic gastric disease. 181 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,600 He suffered from chronic gastric distress, 182 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,600 but this day the diagnosis was shocking. 183 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,600 Brian had apparently been poisoned with ethylene glycol, 184 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,600 a substance found in antifreeze. 185 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,600 Just have to ask a few questions if you could come in for a moment. 186 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,600 Police were called to the hospital to interrogate Ryan's parents. 187 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,600 We were split up and talked to by detectives. 188 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,600 They were saying that they knew that that baby had been poisoned 189 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,600 by either me or my husband. 190 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,600 And I was just, I was devastated. 191 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,600 I was blown away. 192 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,600 I just could not believe that they could even think, 193 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,600 I mean, Ryan was my world. 194 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,600 While the investigation was in progress, 195 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,600 Patty and David Stallings' contact with Ryan 196 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,600 was restricted to a one-hour visit each week. 197 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,600 During the sixth visit, 198 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,600 Patty was left alone with Ryan for a short time. 199 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,600 Four days later, 200 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,600 Ryan would suffer another severe attack of vomiting. 201 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,600 The diagnosis again was poisoning. 202 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,600 After just 72 hours, 203 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,600 Ryan Stallings died. 204 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,600 On September 17th, 1989, 205 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,600 Patty Stallings, who did not yet know she was pregnant again, 206 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,600 was charged with first-degree murder and held without bail. 207 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,600 She was not allowed to attend her son's funeral. 208 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,600 On February 27th, 1990, 209 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,600 while Patty was in jail awaiting trial, 210 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,600 her second son, DJ, was born. 211 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,600 When DJ was two weeks old, 212 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,600 he began to exhibit symptoms identical 213 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,600 to the ones that had plagued his brother, Ryan. 214 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,600 This time, the ailment was diagnosed as a rare genetic disorder, 215 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,600 methylmalonic acidemia, or MMA. 216 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,600 Its symptoms are often confused with ethylene glycol poisoning. 217 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,600 Despite DJ's diagnosis, 218 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,600 Patty Stallings was convicted and sentenced to life in prison 219 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,600 for the murder of her son, Ryan. 220 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,600 DJ was placed in the custody of the state, 221 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,600 and Patty was allowed to see him only three times. 222 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,600 I've lost one child to MMA. 223 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,600 My second child is stricken with MMA. 224 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,600 He may not live. 225 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,600 He's a year old now. 226 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,600 And there was still not sure how to treat him. 227 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,600 I lost my freedom. 228 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,600 I've lost everything. 229 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,600 On the night this story aired, 230 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,600 calls from physicians familiar with MMA 231 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,600 poured into our telecenter. 232 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,600 Patty Stallings' new attorneys petitioned the court 233 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,600 to grant her another trial, 234 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,600 based on the fact that she had previously received 235 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,600 ineffectual counsel. 236 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,600 On July 30, 1991, 237 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,600 Patty Stallings was granted a new trial 238 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,600 and released from prison. 239 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,600 After the Unsolved Mysteries aired, 240 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,600 people were writing and calling 241 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,600 and just wanting to know, how can we help? 242 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,600 And I can't thank those people enough, 243 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,600 because, I mean, through all of that, 244 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,600 wheels started turning 245 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,600 and everything just started pushing forward really fast. 246 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,600 Along with Ryan's remaining serum sample. 247 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,600 On September 20, 1991, 248 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,600 a press conference was held in St. Louis. 249 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,600 Dr. Pierre Ronaldo of Yale University 250 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,600 revealed that independent serum tests 251 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,600 showed Ryan Stallings had definitely died of MMA. 252 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,600 Consequently, the prosecuting attorney 253 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,600 dropped all charges against Patty Stallings. 254 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,600 Unfortunately, we can't undo the suffering 255 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,600 that the Stallings have endured 256 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,600 during this entire ordeal. 257 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,600 And I apologize to them, 258 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,600 both personally and for the state of Missouri. 259 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,600 During the press conference, 260 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,600 Patty and David heard for the first time 261 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,600 that custody of their son, DJ, 262 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,600 had been returned to them. 263 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,600 In October of 1991, 264 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,600 just over two years after his brother's death, 265 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,600 DJ came home for the first time. 266 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,600 I just want to make up for the year and a half 267 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,600 that we didn't have him, 268 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,600 and it's hard to make up that much time, 269 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,600 but I'm doing the best I can. 270 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,600 His condition is very scary, 271 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,600 but we've tackled so many hard things 272 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,600 that, you know, we've just kind of said, 273 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,600 we'll beat this too. 274 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,600 And with that attitude, I know that DJ will do alright, 275 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,600 and that we'll do okay. 276 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,600 He is a miracle child, 277 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,600 and we're lucky to have DJ, 278 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,600 and we have our whole life back. 279 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,600 It's like we're starting over. 280 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,600 It's undescribably wonderful. 281 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,600 We have all met people 282 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,600 who have made lasting impressions upon us. 283 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,600 Sometimes, they are total strangers 284 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,600 who pass through our lives 285 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,600 without ever knowing they have made a difference. 286 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,600 In the early 1960s, a young girl named Kathy Williams 287 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,600 lived in a horrifying world of emotional 288 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,600 and physical abuse, 289 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,600 but when all seemed lost, 290 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,600 a man she had never met before 291 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,600 and has never seen since helped change her life forever. 292 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,600 July 1961, 293 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,600 the streets of Chicago's southside 294 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,600 echo with a carefree laughter of children. 295 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,600 But far removed from the delightful sounds of summer, 296 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,600 a hidden crime has been committed. 297 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,600 One young girl has been stripped of her innocence. 298 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,600 The night before, 299 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,600 14-year-old Kathy Williams was forced to participate 300 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,600 in a drunken party, 301 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,600 an unfelt prey to the abusive sexual advances 302 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,600 of her stepfather, Clifford Starks. 303 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,600 I woke in the middle of Clifford's bed, 304 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,600 with Clifford actually laying almost on top of me. 305 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,600 He was naked. I was totally naked. 306 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,600 I remembered his hands being all over my breasts. 307 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,600 Well, I knew that that was wrong, 308 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,600 and I didn't know what else had happened. 309 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,600 I couldn't remember, and so that scared me too. 310 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,600 And that's why I took off, I wrote the letter, 311 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,600 and I thought that would be the end of it in a child's mind. 312 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,600 I'm thinking, well, you know, this would take care of everything. 313 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,600 I can get out of here, I'll be saved. 314 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,600 The events of the previous evening 315 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,600 were the culmination of months of horror for Kathy Williams. 316 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,600 She felt she had no choice but to run away. 317 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,600 But with nowhere to go, 318 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,600 Kathy was soon picked up off the streets by her stepfather. 319 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,600 She was beaten and held prisoner in a relative's apartment, 320 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,600 locked into a small room for more than a week. 321 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,600 Kathy Williams was trapped in a horrible, 322 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,600 all too familiar tragedy. 323 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,600 Compounding her dilemma was the fact that her stepfather 324 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,600 was a respected detective in the Chicago Police Department. 325 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,600 In desperation, Kathy reluctantly went to the police. 326 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:50,600 What is your name? 327 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:51,600 I don't know. 328 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:52,600 Where do you live? 329 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,600 Kathy devised an elaborate scheme 330 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,600 in which she pretended to have amnesia. 331 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,600 If all was planned, her stepfather would never learn of her visit, 332 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,600 and Kathy would be sent somewhere else to live. 333 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,600 So we just had to put her down as a Jane doll, 334 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,600 and I'm thinking, God, good, 335 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,600 they'll put, take me someplace because anything was better 336 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,600 than going back to that hellhole that I had run away from. 337 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,600 Are you having problems at home? 338 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,600 Or if you are having problems at home, 339 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,600 running away is not going to solve them. 340 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,600 Do you have brothers and sisters? 341 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,600 If you have brothers and sisters and you are having problems, 342 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,600 they could be going through the same thing you're going through. 343 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:34,600 So help me. 344 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,600 Finally, Kathy decided to tell the truth and hope for the best. 345 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,600 My stepfather has been my last enemy. 346 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,600 She said, you poor child. 347 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,600 She said, we'll do anything and everything we can to help you. 348 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,600 Everybody was empathetic, but for some reason, 349 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:55,600 I felt like this was the police. 350 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,600 Maybe they really could help me, 351 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,600 and I felt that I had two younger sisters there 352 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,600 that they didn't need to be there, 353 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:03,600 and the same thing could happen to them 354 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,600 because I hadn't thought about that. 355 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,600 Kathy's optimism was quickly shattered, 356 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,600 just as she had feared her stepfather was notified. 357 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:14,600 Sergeant? 358 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,600 Detective Clifford Starks, what brings you to the seventh? 359 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,600 Come to pick up my daughter. 360 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,600 Your daughter?

sexual abuse. 397 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,600 Once again, it seemed that Clifford Starks had stacked the deck 398 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:02,600 against his stepdaughter. 399 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,600 We seem to have a blank file here. 400 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,600 Your honor, this is Detective Sergeant Starks. 401 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:08,600 This is Kathy's father. 402 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,600 The judge's decision was based solely upon the testimony 403 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,600 of Clifford Starks that day, that moment in the courtroom. 404 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,600 She stays out late at night if she comes home at all. 405 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,600 She runs with a bad group of kids. 406 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,600 Clifford told them that they had had all kinds of trouble 407 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,600 with me out that I was quote unquote inocourageable, 408 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,600 runaway, teenager, prostitute. 409 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,600 In fact, said I was in the drugs. 410 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,600 Ms. Williams, please rise. 411 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,600 Is the order of this court that you be confined to the Illinois 412 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,600 State Training School for Girls at Geneva until your 18th birthday? 413 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,600 My feelings were it was the end of the world. 414 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:53,600 I was, I didn't know I could feel that kind of pain or that much hurt. 415 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,600 Each time you think it's bad, you just think it just couldn't get worse, 416 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,600 but it gets worse. 417 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,600 And when you look over at your family and friends, it's like now 418 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,600 it's proven that I'm wrong. 419 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,600 Obviously this wouldn't happen if I wasn't bad, 420 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,600 and maybe I did deserve this. 421 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,600 Kathy was placed in the custody of a Cook County deputy sheriff 422 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,600 to be transported to reform school. 423 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,600 She had no idea that this ride would become a remarkable turn 424 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,600 of fortune. 425 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,600 When they put me in the back of that paddy wagon, 426 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:33,600 I just started boo-hooing. 427 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,600 I just got to, it dawned on me then, nobody knows where I'm going. 428 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:38,600 I don't know where I'm going. 429 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,600 You know, this has to be hell. 430 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,600 I didn't do anything wrong. 431 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,600 Yeah, I've heard that story before. 432 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:50,600 Alone and scared to death, Kathy began to blur down her story to the deputy. 433 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,600 I'm here because my stepfather was messing with me. 434 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:53,600 Your stepfather? 435 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,600 Yes, he was messing with me. 436 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:56,600 Messing with you how? 437 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,600 Touching me the way a man touches a woman. 438 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,600 By the time they arrived at the reform school, 439 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,600 the deputy was convinced the system had made a terrible mistake. 440 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,600 Kathy was obviously being punished for being a victim. 441 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:13,600 The deputy risked his own job by offering to help. 442 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,600 Let's talk about what you said and the way you said it makes me believe. 443 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,600 And I'd like to check it out for you. 444 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,600 Who was that you said you wanted me to call? 445 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,600 I didn't know if I could believe him, 446 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,600 and I had believed everybody else, 447 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,600 and I still was on my way to Geneva. 448 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,600 So, something in my heart wanted me to believe me. 449 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,600 It was something kind in his eyes I saw in that mirror, 450 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,600 and I said maybe he would be the one. 451 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:38,600 That could do something. 452 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:39,600 I didn't know. 453 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,600 I just didn't have any idea. 454 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,600 John Tilly. 455 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:44,600 Nice to see you. 456 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:45,600 Nice to see you. 457 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,600 The unknown deputy was true to his word. 458 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:48,600 How did they treat you down there? 459 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,600 Seven weeks later, Kathy was taken to the state building in downtown Chicago 460 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,600 for an interview with a social worker. 461 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,600 But, Kathy, I can't make any promises, 462 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,600 but we're going to try and help you. 463 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,600 Now, when you took that patty wagon ride down to Geneva, 464 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,600 you talked to the sheriff who was driving at you. 465 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,600 You gave him some names. 466 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,600 I don't know what you said to him, 467 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,600 but whatever it was, it must have been pretty convincing. 468 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,600 He came over here and he talked to me and... 469 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,600 The deputy had contacted Kathy's friends 470 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,600 and put them in touch with the proper authorities. 471 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,600 You talked to Mother Gordon? 472 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,600 Some had even signed affidavits corroborating Kathy's accusations 473 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,600 against her stepfather. 474 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,600 Look, from everything we've been able to find out, 475 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,600 it looks like you're in the wrong place. 476 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:27,600 You got a raw deal. 477 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,600 He said, it looks to me like you were railroaded. 478 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,600 He said, in accordance with everything I have in front of me, you work. 479 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,600 He said, someone should go back there, keep your nose clean, 480 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,600 stay out of trouble, and we'll be back in touch. 481 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,600 And I thanked him, but knowing that, 482 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,600 hey, this is just another bubble, 483 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,600 and it was going to pop and float on off into the sunset like the rest. 484 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,600 But this time the system worked. 485 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,600 Two weeks later, Kathy Williams was released from the reformatory. 486 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,600 Ultimately, she was declared an emancipated minor 487 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,600 and went to live with friends in the neighborhood. 488 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,600 It was just like New Year's, you know, 489 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,600 counting down for the clock, you know. 490 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,600 It was just a very happy, happy time. 491 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,600 I was finally getting to go home with my new mother and father 492 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,600 and my new sister, so it was a joyous occasion. 493 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:15,600 I'm going to see you. 494 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,600 You can't leave me. 495 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,600 Kathy Williams was fortunate. 496 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,600 She flourished in her new family 497 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,600 and started a church group which offers counseling to abused children. 498 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,600 But Kathy has never forgotten the unknown deputy 499 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:33,600 who led a helping hand when no one else would. 500 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,600 Every girl, I guess, in the fairy tales 501 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,600 wants a prince on a horse or a knight in shining armor, 502 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,600 and he'd be my knight in a paddy wagon. 503 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,600 And if I could find him, I just want to say to him 504 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,600 that many people reach out for help 505 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,600 and many are refused help. 506 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,600 But because of the fact that I reached out to him 507 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,600 and he acknowledged me and gave me the help that I needed, 508 00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:58,600 he gave me my life. 509 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,600 He gave me not only my life, 510 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,600 I have a healthy son who's here. 511 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,600 I've touched other people's lives in many ways. 512 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,600 And if it hadn't been for him, none of that would have happened. 513 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:40,600 When we return, the bizarre disappearance of a woman in Florida culminates in murder. 514 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:52,600 On Thursday, July 19, 1990, 515 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,600 Jane McGowan of Boca Raton, Florida 516 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,600 received a disturbing letter from her 34-year-old sister Beverly. 517 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,600 The handwritten note had been postmarked a day earlier. 518 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,600 I've got to make some major changes in my life. 519 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,600 I quit my job, sold the condo and furniture, 520 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,600 and I'm leaving for a while. 521 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,600 The following day, Jane and Beverly's brother Steve 522 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,600 received a similar letter from Beverly. 523 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:22,600 Something bothered me because that's not the type of person that the Bev was. 524 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,600 She was not the kind of person, after spending all her money to try to get that condo 525 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,600 and try to land the job at the bank, which she seemed to be happy with. 526 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:36,600 It was not her nature to just give up on everything and just walk away from it. 527 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,600 That evening, Steve and Jane went to Beverly's condo. 528 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,600 Her car was gone, her phone had been disconnected, 529 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,600 and she had not been seen at work for two days. 530 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,600 There was her nightgown laying next to the bed. 531 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,600 The bed wasn't made. 532 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,600 It just looked like she'd gone out for the day and had every intention of coming back that night. 533 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:06,600 It appeared as if Beverly had indeed decided just to go off and start over. 534 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,600 All she took with her were her two cats, her address book, 535 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,600 birth certificate, and passport. 536 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,600 Steve and Jane McGown were completely baffled 537 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,600 by their sister's sudden decision to walk away from her family and her life. 538 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,600 The day after she was last seen, Beverly sent a telegram to her mortgage company, 539 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,600 authorizing a mortgage contract, and she was told that she had been in a relationship 540 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,600 with the mortgage company, authorizing them to foreclose on her condo 541 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,600 and dispose of her personal belongings. 542 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,600 In several letters to family and friends, Beverly offered no explanations. 543 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,600 To her brother Steve, she wrote simply, 544 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,600 I just want to say goodbye to you and the kids, 545 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,600 and let you know that what I'm doing is the right thing. 546 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,600 The type of person that Bev was, she had two different sides to her. 547 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,600 First side was her private side, 548 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:03,600 which I know she enjoyed her privacy a tremendous amount. 549 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,600 Her second side was the side that she showed when she was with myself, 550 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,600 my sister, and my family. 551 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,600 And that was just a fun-loving person, 552 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,600 just somebody that was out there to enjoy themselves as much as they possibly could. 553 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,600 In 1987, Beverly McGown began a promising career 554 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,600 in the loan department of a Fort Lauderdale bank. 555 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,600 Within two years, she was able to purchase a modest condo 556 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,600 near Bipompano Beach. 557 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:38,600 The week before her disappearance, Beverly began advertising for a roommate. 558 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:44,600 Bev came in one morning and said that she had advertised for a roommate, 559 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,600 and that this woman, Alice, was going to be moving in, 560 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,600 and approximately, I think it was the following Friday. 561 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,600 And she just thought this woman was incredibly nice, 562 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,600 was going to be great, they clicked. 563 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,600 That's the way she felt. 564 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:05,600 Now, as I was explaining to you, your life path number is your birth date. 565 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,600 Beverly told Cindy that Alice was English. 566 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,600 She drove a nice car and seemed to be a successful career woman. 567 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,600 Moreover, she and Beverly shared a common interest in the New Age movement, 568 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,600 especially numerology. 569 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,600 Personal year number is four. 570 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,600 That shows that you are at a crossroads in your life. 571 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,600 She had asked Bev for some numbers that pertain to her life 572 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,600 so that she could do a chart for her. 573 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:36,600 And Bev gave her some numbers, not anything real serious, not real personal. 574 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,600 And she did an initial chart and then came back and said, 575 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,600 I need more information, at which point Bev volunteered her passport numbers, 576 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,600 numbers on her birth certificate. 577 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,600 Well, the first adjustment I see is a long trip. 578 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:55,600 Apparently Alice told Beverly that she would find true romance and accumulate great wealth. 579 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,600 And you'll be doing a lot of travel. 580 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,600 But she did predict a dark cloud on the horizon. 581 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,600 But there is a gray area that I must tell you about, Beverly. 582 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,600 It involves a couple, a man and a woman. 583 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,600 They are related, but I don't know if they're married. 584 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,600 They're very close to you and they're going to deceive you, they're going to hurt you. 585 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,600 Well, you know how, I don't know how. 586 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,600 I just want to be close to you and you need to be aware of it. 587 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:29,600 Thursday, July 19th, two days after Beverly was last seen, 588 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:35,600 at 5.30 p.m., the mutilated body of a woman was found at the edge of a drainage canal 589 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,600 in St. Lucie County, 100 miles from Papano Beach. 590 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,600 The victim's head had been crudely decapitated. 591 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,600 Only a portion of the lower jaw and five teeth remained. 592 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:52,600 Her hands had been severed, her throat slit and part of her abdomen cut away, 593 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,600 apparently to remove a tattoo. 594 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:03,600 We assumed that whoever committed the murder was trying to conceal her identity. 595 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:10,600 It was probably one of the most gruesome homicides that our agency has investigated in recent years. 596 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:18,600 The only solid clue to the victim's identity had been overlooked by the killer. 597 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,600 A small tattoo of a yellow rose on her right ankle. 598 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,600 Beverly McGowan had just such a tattoo. 599 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,600 Four days later, the victim was found in a hospital. 600 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:40,600 After dental records provided positive identification, the dead woman was Beverly Anne McGowan. 601 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:50,600 We found nothing in her background that would indicate that she was in any type of trouble or was involved in anything illegal. 602 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:56,600 The authorities and Beverly's family were especially baffled by her letters. 603 00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:01,600 They were all in her handwriting and there was no indication that she had been coerced into sending them. 604 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:08,600 Investigators immediately searched Beverly's condo looking for something, anything, 605 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,600 tying Beverly's apparent decision to leave with her murder. 606 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:19,600 They found a notepad with a list of names and phone numbers of people who had called about the ad for a roommate. 607 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,600 Only the last notation did not check out. 608 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,600 It read Alice, Tuesday, 6.30. 609 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,600 No last name, no phone number. 610 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:35,600 Alice was supposed to be on loan to the United States from England, working for IBM in South Florida. 611 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:44,600 Upon checking with the IBM Corporation, we learned that they had nobody on loan to South Florida from England 612 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:51,600 and that the office that Alice said she worked for in Fort Lauderdale, that they didn't even have an office in Fort Lauderdale. 613 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,600 Hi. Hi. How'd I get this piece? 614 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,600 Sure.

00:43:50,600 OK, Sal. 769 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:51,600 Here's some money. 770 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:52,600 I need them right away. 771 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,600 OK. 772 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,600 He never asked me to do anything for him. 773 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,600 He just want me out of the house that day. 774 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,600 When I think about it, that's what I think. 775 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,600 I think that's what he wanted me out. 776 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:10,600 I'm home. 777 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,600 Sal, I've got your cigarettes here. 778 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,600 30 minutes later, Lydia returned. 779 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,600 Sally, Sal. 780 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,600 I didn't see anything when I came back. 781 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,600 It was so quiet. 782 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:32,600 Then the TV was on, so I just sat down on the day bed 783 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,600 and thought, well, I better watch the news 784 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,600 because it was coming on. 785 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:45,600 I heard the bedroom door open, and I didn't hear nothing else. 786 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:47,600 I just kept watching the news. 787 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,600 He tried to strangle me. 788 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:56,600 I wouldn't let him. 789 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,600 I started fighting him. 790 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,600 Before I knew it, I got hit on the head. 791 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:07,600 I heard the bones crushing, and the ball roll over or something. 792 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:12,600 You know, you could hear that bowling ball roll. 793 00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:16,600 In the lanes, how it sounds, that's what I heard. 794 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:17,600 But I was out. 795 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:22,600 Sally. 796 00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,600 After about 45 minutes, Lydia regained consciousness. 797 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,600 When I came to, I got up and I was so weak, 798 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,600 I was just staggering around. 799 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,600 Then I went in the bedroom. 800 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,600 My niece was laying there. 801 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,600 I knew right away she was dead. 802 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,600 And after that, I just went to my neighbor 803 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,600 and knocked on the window and told her to call the police. 804 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:54,600 I was hurt. 805 00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,600 OK, take it away. 806 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,600 Sally Gairty had been strangled to death, 807 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,600 possibly with a cat leash or telephone cord. 808 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,600 Lydia Henry had suffered a concussion and lacerations. 809 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,600 During the investigation, Sally's family 810 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,600 discovered that Sal Guardado was a convicted felon 811 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,600 with a long criminal record. 812 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:19,600 He had spent five years in prison for arson and attempted murder. 813 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:23,600 The intended victim was a former girlfriend. 814 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,600 Authorities immediately began combing the San Francisco area. 815 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,600 They received reports that Sal might have left the country 816 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,600 and disappeared in Mexico. 817 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,600 We thought we'd solve this case right away. 818 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,600 We had the FBI involved. 819 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,600 We had local law enforcement involved. 820 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:45,600 We had all the tools, and we just couldn't find out 821 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,600 where he'd gone or where he was. 822 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,600 It boggles the mind to understand how we avoided this all 823 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,600 this time, some seven years. 824 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,600 And the Native American believes our culture. 825 00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:03,600 We believe that if someone's life is taken before they're ready, 826 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:08,600 their spirit can't rest until justice is served. 827 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,600 So Sally's spirit, we believe, isn't at rest 828 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,600 until Sal's will be caught and put to justice. 829 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,600 Three months after Sal Guardado disappeared, 830 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,600 a witness reporter seeing him back in San Francisco 831 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:26,600 at a fast food restaurant. 832 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,600 However, authorities now believe he may be in Miami, 833 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,600 Mexico, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico. 834 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,600 Guardado is currently wanted on charges of murder, 835 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,600 attempted murder, and assault with a deadly weapon. 836 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,600 Salvador Nunez Guardado is 5 feet 10 inches tall 837 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,600 and weighs 210 pounds. 838 00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,600 He has black hair, brown eyes, 839 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,600 and a tattoo of a heart and arrow with a name 840 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,600 Rachel on his upper right arm. 841 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,600 He is a Mexican descent. 842 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,600 In 1989, two Belgian national policemen 843 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,600 had a shocking encounter with a strange, brilliantly lit object. 844 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,600 Since that time, thousands of ordinary citizens 845 00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,600 have reported similar sightings, and incredibly, 846 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,600 the Belgian Air Force has recorded on radar 847 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,600 an unidentified flying object. 848 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:36,600 In 1969, Rock Creek, Ohio was terrorized 849 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,600 by a gang of street tufts. 850 00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,600 When Robert Hamrick took over the police force, 851 00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,600 he was determined to clean up the town. 852 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,600 Just eight months later, Hamrick died 853 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,600 in a mysterious car accident. 854 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:50,600 His family is convinced he was murdered. 855 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,600 And thanks to our viewers, a woman in Tennessee 856 00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,600 has finally found her natural mother. 857 00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,600 Join me for their heartwarming reunion 858 00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,600 next time on Unsolved Mysteries.
