1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,680
This program is about unsolved mysteries.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,280
Whenever possible, the actual family members and police

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,280
officials have participated in recreating the events.

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,280
What you are about to see is not a news broadcast.

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,280
This man calls himself Jose Antonio Gonzalez,

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:21,880
but that is a known alias.

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,000
He is a convicted bank robber and a man without a past.

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Since the time he was in prison, he

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
has refused to reveal his true identity or any other detail

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
about his shadowy life.

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
On June 30, 1991, Larry Williams walked into his son's house

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
and into a nightmare.

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Danny Williams was dead from a single bullet wound

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
to his forehead at first glance an obvious suicide.

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
But Larry Williams has collected convincing evidence

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
that indicates his son may have been murdered.

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
In 1978, a young pilot named Frederick Volandik

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000
took off from Muriban Airport in Australia.

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000
47 minutes later, a frantic Volandik radio

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
that he had encountered a bizarre light source.

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Then the radio transmissions abruptly ceased,

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000
and the plane vanished as if plucked from the sky.

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Join me for another edition of Unsolved Mysteries.

24
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Ancourage, Alaska, December 11, 1990.

25
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,000
At 3 PM, two bank employees arrived at a local mall

26
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000
to restock an automated teller machine.

27
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
The security guard took the cash into a small secluded room

28
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
behind the mall to find the money.

29
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
The security guard was arrested,

30
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
and the police arrested him.

31
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
The police found the money in the bank.

32
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
The security guard took the cash into a small secluded room

33
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000
behind the machines, while the teller went outside

34
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,000
to reprogram the ATM.

35
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Open the door. Don't turn around.

36
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Do exactly what I say, and you won't be hurt.

37
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Do you understand?

38
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Yes.

39
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Open the door.

40
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Put your hands above your head.

41
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Into the room.

42
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,000
You, over here.

43
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
You, open the vault. Turn around.

44
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
There was nothing about this robbery that could have happened

45
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
that this individual wasn't prepared to handle.

46
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000
He knew the entrance in, into this back room, back hallway,

47
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
in order to get into the teller machine.

48
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
He knew that no one could see him from there.

49
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Put the money in the bank.

50
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Put your hands behind your back.

51
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
And he knew exactly what it took

52
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
in order to open up the machine,

53
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
where the money was stored inside a machine,

54
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
and also instructed the teller to take a videotape

55
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000
out of the video machine so as not to be caught on film.

56
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Get the surveillance tape now.

57
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
The robber also had a small smile on his face,

58
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
which the guard thought was a little peculiar.

59
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,000
The guard believed that this robber was very relaxed.

60
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,000
I know what your name is. I know where you live.

61
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Do you understand?

62
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Yes.

63
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Both of you, silent for five minutes.

64
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,000
The FBI believed the robbery was an inside job,

65
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,000
even though the two employees had not recognized their assailant.

66
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Suspicion immediately fell on a former security guard

67
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
named Jose Antonio Gonzalez,

68
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
who was already being investigated

69
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
in connection with a similar robbery.

70
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
But Gonzalez had conveniently disappeared.

71
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Two days later, in Redmond, Washington,

72
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
1,500 miles south of Anchorage,

73
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,000
a postal worker noticed a partially open package.

74
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Oh, wait a minute. This one's torn.

75
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Wait a minute. Looks like a gun in there.

76
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
The address was on top of the box.

77
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000
It was an address to a gentleman named Jose Antonio Gonzalez

78
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000
in Redmond, Washington.

79
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
The return address was Anchorage, Alaska.

80
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
A second box was later found in the same shipment,

81
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
also addressed to Jose Antonio Gonzalez.

82
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000
The postal inspectors obtained a warrant to search both boxes

83
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000
and discovered a small arsenal.

84
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000
38, loaded.

85
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Look at this.

86
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Block. Loaded as well.

87
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Beretta, loaded.

88
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Man, what can we have here?

89
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Money.

90
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,000
The postal inspectors also found cash,

91
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:13,000
$65,540, the exact amount taken in the Anchorage ATM list.

92
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Make sure he gets an 1849, and we'll just wait for him.

93
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Postal inspectors set up what they call a control delivery,

94
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
in essence a sting operation.

95
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
On December 14, 1990, just three days after the robbery,

96
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Jose Gonzalez stepped right into their trap.

97
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
OK. Thank you very much.

98
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Gonzalez, hands in the air, postal inspectors.

99
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Back away from the car.

100
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Back away from the car.

101
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Get down your knees.

102
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Gonzalez was charged with armed bank robbery,

103
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000
and four counts of illegal transportation of firearms,

104
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000
using the U.S. mail.

105
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Once in custody, Gonzalez was cooperative,

106
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000
perhaps too cooperative.

107
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Without prompting, he told authorities his life story.

108
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Born in Puerto Rico, graduated from Nicaragua High School

109
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
in New York City, attended West Virginia University.

110
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Gonzalez then rattled off his social security number,

111
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,000
his date of birth, and other vital statistics.

112
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Thank you, fingerprints over here.

113
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,000
This man was almost too good with his background.

114
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Everything was right there on the tip of his tongue,

115
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:49,000
from where he went to high school to where he was brought up.

116
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Unfortunately, nothing Gonzalez said was true.

117
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,000
There was no Nicarabacca High School,

118
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000
and no one named Jose Antonio Gonzalez

119
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:03,000
had ever attended West Virginia University.

120
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,000
His social security number did seem legitimate,

121
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000
until the FBI discovered he had two of them.

122
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,000
One belonged to a boy who was 11 years old.

123
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,000
It was clearly fraudulent, but the other had been issued

124
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,000
to a Jose Antonio Gonzalez born in 1952.

125
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Maybe later.

126
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Where were you born?

127
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Puerto Rico.

128
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
We located a birth certificate in Puerto Rico,

129
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,000
under the name that he said he is Jose Antonio Gonzalez.

130
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,000
But then, 11 days later, after the birth of Jose Antonio Gonzalez,

131
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:40,000
that child died of tetanus, and we have the death certificate.

132
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,000
So we know who he is not, but we don't know who he is.

133
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Okay, when'd you come to the United States?

134
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Under interrogation, Gonzalez continued to embroider the facts.

135
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,000
His already elaborate background became more and more exotic.

136
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
You ever been in the service?

137
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Yes, I have.

138
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
What branch?

139
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,000
French Foreign Legion.

140
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,000
French Foreign Legion?

141
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Yes.

142
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Mr. Gonzalez indicated that he would, a former French Foreign Legionnaire,

143
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000
that he'd been in the Legion for approximately five years.

144
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000
That he'd seen action in Chad and Beirut.

145
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,000
He claimed to be a martial arts expert,

146
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000
and an expert with various types of weapons.

147
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Gonzalez was full of surprises.

148
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,000
While he was awaiting trial, the authorities discovered

149
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,000
that he was fluent in at least four different languages.

150
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Here we have an individual who speaks apparently right,

151
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:54,000
and is very functional in English, Spanish, French,

152
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
and some type of Croatian dialect.

153
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,000
But he conversed with these people freely, very easily.

154
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:08,000
The man was not your run of the mill bank robber.

155
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,000
The more we kept digging into this gentleman's background,

156
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,000
the more mystery surrounded him.

157
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000
On October 15, 1992, the enigmatic Mr. Gonzalez

158
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,000
was convicted of armed bank robbery and sent to the Sheridan Federal Penitentiary in Oregon.

159
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
But even with Gonzalez safely behind bars,

160
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,000
the case continued to fascinate investigators.

161
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000
The only possible key to the prisoner's true identity

162
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:43,000
lay with two mysterious women, both of whom vanished before they could be questioned.

163
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Hi, can I help you?

164
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Yes, I'm here to pick up the car for Jose Gonzalez.

165
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
After Gonzalez was arrested, his car was impounded by the Redmond police,

166
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,000
the next day a woman showed up to claim it.

167
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Yes, I don't understand.

168
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
He asked me to come and pick up his car, is there a problem?

169
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Yes, ma'am, I need what's called an authorization for release,

170
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
and you can get that from his attorney.

171
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000
I cannot get the car at all without the authorization.

172
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,000
No, you can't.

173
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,000
According to the police, the woman was an intimate acquaintance

174
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
and possibly an accomplice of Gonzalez.

175
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000
She went by the name Nadine Castell,

176
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,000
and had known Gonzalez for at least three years before he went to prison.

177
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:28,000
She has always been around Mr. Gonzalez.

178
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:36,000
At times she has introduced Mr. Gonzalez as a brother, as a lover, and as a friend.

179
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,000
She's never worked that we can find,

180
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,000
always drove very expensive cars, always dressed in very expensive clothes.

181
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Hello.

182
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Hello.

183
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,000
How's it going for you?

184
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Yeah, sure doing.

185
00:10:49,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Nadine appears to be the person who arranges for and acquires identification for Mr. Gonzalez.

186
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000
She's always there, almost like somebody that looks over him

187
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,000
and has the documentation that he would need.

188
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,000
She has disappeared, absolutely disappeared,

189
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
as far as we know in the United States.

190
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Nadine Castell is 5'5'' tall, weighs around 125 pounds, and has dark hair and eyes.

191
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,000
She is a French national who has lived in London and the United States.

192
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,000
She sometimes uses the last names of Goat Tom and Cartel.

193
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Another woman, who police believe might also be an accomplice, has been positively identified.

194
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Brenda Penninger was Gonzalez's girlfriend at the time of the robbery.

195
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,000
A few days after Nadine's unsuccessful attempt to pick up the car,

196
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Brenda Penninger showed up at the impound lot with all the right papers.

197
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:59,000
The FBI, anticipating her arrival, had asked the impound lot attendant to serve her with a subpoena.

198
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Is that Brenda Penninger?

199
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,000
That's right.

200
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,000
I've been asked to give this to you.

201
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000
What is it?

202
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,000
That's a subpoena, so you'll come before the grand jury.

203
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Incredibly, just three days later, the car would be found 2,400 miles away

204
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
in a parking lot at the Newark, New Jersey airport.

205
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,000
We have to this day never located Miss Penninger.

206
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:32,000
We've talked to her mother, we've talked to everyone that we knew that had contact with her,

207
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:38,000
and there has been no contact that we can verify since that day,

208
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,000
three days after she picked up the car.

209
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,000
She's gone, we don't know where she's at, and we don't know her fate.

210
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Brenda Penninger is 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighs 145 pounds,

211
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,000
and has blonde hair and blue eyes.

212
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Update.

213
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,000
The mystery robber has been identified thanks in part to a viewer tip.

214
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:08,000
His name is Milo Radzivkovich, a 27-year-old Yugoslavian national who was apparently born in France.

215
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:14,000
After the broadcast, authorities also located in question Zivkovich's two female friends.

216
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Neither has been charged with any wrongdoing in this case.

217
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:25,000
As for the mysterious Zivkovich, investigators are still hoping to discover more about his shadowy past.

218
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Next, the dramatic account of a young pirate's close encounter of the most mysterious kind.

219
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:55,000
October 21, 1978, 6.19 p.m.

220
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
The continent of Australia.

221
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:07,000
A single-engine Cessna 182 lifted off from Robin Airport just south of Melbourne.

222
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,000
The pilot was 20-year-old Frederick Volentik.

223
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Volentik had been flying for two years, accumulating more than 150 hours of solo time.

224
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,000
He had dreams of one day becoming a commercial airline pilot.

225
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Volentik's flight plan called for a 40-minute trip west along the Australian coast.

226
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:34,000
At Cape Otway, he would head south for a half-hour run over Bass Strait to King Island.

227
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
It was a route he had followed on several occasions,

228
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,000
but this flight would be anything but routine.

229
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,000
It was a fairly normal exercise.

230
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000
He had an appropriate instrument rating for the trip.

231
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,000
It was a very straightforward flight.

232
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:58,000
And I mean, I could see no reason why it shouldn't have been completed successfully.

233
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,000
What happened three-quarters of an hour into that flight,

234
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,000
I think it would be one of the great mysteries of Australian aviation.

235
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Melbourne, this is Delta Sierra Juliet. Three known traffic below 5,000.

236
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Delta Sierra Juliet? No known traffic.

237
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Delta Sierra Juliet, this used to be a large aircraft below 5,000.

238
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Since just over halfway through his flight, Volentik had been in contact with a flight service centre on the ground.

239
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Evidence mounted that something was not quite right.

240
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:42,000
The following recreation was based on the transcript of Volentik's exchange with an air traffic controller.

241
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000
It seems to me like some sort of landing lights.

242
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:50,000
As it gets closer, it could be one or two lights. I don't know.

243
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000
Melbourne, this is Delta Sierra Juliet.

244
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,000
That aircraft just passed over me at least 1,000 feet above.

245
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Roger, and it is a large aircraft, confirm.

246
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,000
I'm down due to speed at which it was travelling.

247
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Is there any air-forced aircraft in this vicinity?

248
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Delta Sierra Juliet, no known traffic.

249
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Delta Sierra Juliet seems to be a game-up here.

250
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:24,000
He's travelling over me two or three times at speeds I cannot identify.

251
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Can you describe the aircraft?

252
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Delta Sierra Juliet.

253
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,000
As it passes by, it's a long shape.

254
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
It's a long shape.

255
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Delta Sierra Juliet.

256
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
As it passes by, it's a long shape.

257
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:58,000
He wasn't to the point where he was panicking, but he was genuinely concerned by what he saw, you know, with what he saw.

258
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,000
He was worried. He sounded confused.

259
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Then as he described what the aircraft was doing, you know, I became a little bit concerned too.

260
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Melbourne, this thing's just stationary.

261
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,000
What I'm doing now is orbiting, and this thing's just orbiting on top of me.

262
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,000
It's got a green light.

263
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
It's sort of a tally.

264
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Like it's shiny all over.

265
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000
It's just disappeared.

266
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,000
But when you wouldn't know what sort of aircraft I've got up here, would you?

267
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Is this some sort of military aircraft or what?

268
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Delta Sierra Juliet.

269
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Is the aircraft still with you?

270
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Delta Sierra Juliet.

271
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Now approach you from south-west.

272
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Delta Sierra Juliet.

273
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000
We've just done a rough idle.

274
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,000
I've got to set on 23-24. This thing's just coughing.

275
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Delta Sierra Juliet.

276
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Melbourne, this strange aircraft's just hovering on top of me again.

277
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:13,000
It's hovering and it's...it's got an aircraft.

278
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Suddenly an unidentifiable clicking noise came over the radio.

279
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,000
The sound lasted 17 seconds, then silence.

280
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Delta Sierra Juliet. This is Melbourne.

281
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,000
I had streamed out as to his safety.

282
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Flying a single-engine airplane over water, lost communication in such strange circumstances.

283
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,000
I put an alert phase on the airplane and once that had elapsed,

284
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:48,000
we then went to the distress phase stage and that was the commencement of the search.

285
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:54,000
About 11.30 or midnight, Fredic was in the harm.

286
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:59,000
And then we heard on the radio that an aircraft went missing.

287
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,000
And then two policemen called out the door and they verified,

288
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:10,000
yes, they said that the aircraft, we presume, was your son.

289
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:17,000
It's an extent search and we don't know what's happened to him.

290
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:22,000
For four days, a flotilla of search vessels crisscrossed Bass Strait.

291
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,000
There was absolutely no sign of a Latic or his aircraft.

292
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,000
There was no evidence to suggest there had even been a crash.

293
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:36,000
All that remained was a final baffling radio transmission.

294
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,000
It's hovering and it's not an aircraft.

295
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,000
These were Fredic Valenic's final haunting words.

296
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Words which inevitably led to speculation that the young pilot had encountered a UFO.

297
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,000
However, it was nothing more than speculation until a witness came forward

298
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:00,000
and found a flying first-hand account.

299
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Around the time of Valenic's disappearance, the eyewitness and his family were returning from an afternoon outing

300
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:14,000
where they noticed unusual activity in the sky.

301
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Hey, that's a plane.

302
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,000
I can see the plane. It's the brain light above the plane. Up there.

303
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:24,000
The witness has asked that we not reveal his identity.

304
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:32,000
I looked up and I saw this long green light, a bit of a thousand to two thousand feet above the aircraft.

305
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:39,000
So we sat there and watched it for a few seconds and the green light got closer to the plane.

306
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:45,000
I said, that plane is coming down pretty steep. It's at a 45-degree angle.

307
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:52,000
I think it's going to crash.

308
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:58,000
The eyewitness account appeared to support the theory that Valenic had a run-in with a UFO.

309
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,000
However, the witness did not actually see the aircraft crash into Bass Strait.

310
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,000
The only certainty was that Valenic had vanished.

311
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Then six weeks later, an amateur photographer came forward with evidence that some believe confirmed the presence of a UFO

312
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,000
over Bass Strait.

313
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:22,000
On the evening of the flight, Roy Manifold had been setting up to shoot a sunset at Cape Otway,

314
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,000
almost directly under Valenic's flight path.

315
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Everything was fine and done the normal thing.

316
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:41,000
I just had the camera on automatic exposure and I took these six photographs of the sun disappearing into the sea.

317
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:50,000
When developed, the last of Manifold's photographs displayed a peculiar blemish.

318
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:57,000
I observed this mark on the print that looked like a developing error, something, you know, they've marked it up.

319
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:07,000
And I said, just a minute, that was taken that night I took that sunset as exactly the night that this guy disappeared.

320
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:16,000
A leading Australian photo lab found neither dirt nor damage on the negative, determining that the strange mark was actually in the picture.

321
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:22,000
The film was later sent to the United States for computer analysis by a team of UFO researchers.

322
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,000
They claimed that the blot was actually a solid metallic object.

323
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:32,000
To them, it appeared to be enveloped in a cloud of exhaust situated about a mile from the camera.

324
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:40,000
However, a second more recent analysis concluded that the spot is an all probability a developing error.

325
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Even so, Roy Manifold is inclined to believe the photograph does show something of consequence.

326
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Unfortunately, I didn't see it. I didn't hear anything that particular night either.

327
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,000
First time I've had something on any of my printing, and I've done thousands of photographs.

328
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,000
Without any incidents of anything like that on them.

329
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:13,000
Skeptics tend to dismiss the photograph as just another far-fetched effort to prove the existence of visitors from outer space.

330
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:23,000
But even for those who are not prone to believe in UFOs, the events of October 21, 1978 continue to defy explanation.

331
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:28,000
There's been no recovery of any wreckage.

332
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Of course, he has gone.

333
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:45,000
So we're left with an open case, which sounds very much like he did encounter something very mysterious.

334
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:51,000
And there's no other conclusion that I can come to other than that.

335
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:57,000
It is hard, I'm very sentimental, on keeping everything that was belonged to him.

336
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Even the model car that he was driving to the airport, I'm still driving.

337
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:08,000
And I believe that my son, possibly one day, will come back.

338
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:14,000
And this is a dream that might come true one day.

339
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Fifteen years have passed since Frederick Veladek flew off to his uncertain fate.

340
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:27,000
However, the questions raised by his mysterious disappearance are just as disturbing today.

341
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:33,000
What exactly did Veladek see in the minutes before radio contact was lost?

342
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,000
These things are stationary.

343
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,000
What was a brilliant green light seen hovering over the Cessna,

344
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:49,000
and did that same light somehow overpower Veladek's plane as it vanished from view?

345
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Perhaps the secret of Frederick Veladek does lie many fathoms beneath Bass Strait,

346
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:03,000
or perhaps it lies far from our planet, light years beyond our understanding.

347
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:18,000
December 22, 1991, Goose Creek, South Carolina.

348
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:32,000
At 10.30 p.m., a speeding car with three men inside was pulled over on a desolate road leading to the local marina.

349
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,000
I approached the vehicle on the driver's side and said,

350
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Good evening, could I see your license and registration?

351
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,000
At that point, I got virtually no response.

352
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,000
I figured maybe he didn't hear me, so I asked him again.

353
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Sir, could I see your license and registration, please?

354
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Could you show me your papers?

355
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,000
He never said yes, or thank you.

356
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,000
The two guys in the front seat never spoke a word.

357
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:40,000
The next morning, Officer Belanger was surprised to learn that the two men in the front seat of the car he had stopped

358
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:47,000
were supposedly missing at sea, the focus of an intense month-long search by the Coast Guard.

359
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:56,000
The men were French sailors, 37-year-old Yves-Emmanuel Père and 24-year-old Laurent Ernau

360
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,000
hired to convoy a French-made sailboat to new owners.

361
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:10,000
In October of 1991, they had embarked on a 2,500-mile voyage from Annapolis, Maryland to Guadeloupe in the West Indies.

362
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Their vessel was a state-of-the-art Antigua catamaran worth $200,000.

363
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:23,000
The boat was perhaps the most sophisticated of this kind, strapped to the gills with high-tech radar,

364
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:28,000
a satellite tracking unit, and electronic navigational equipment.

365
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:34,000
The Antigua's unique construction made it unsinkable and virtually undetectable to radar,

366
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,000
a perfect vessel for transporting weapons or drugs.

367
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,000
Yves-Emmanuel and Laurent planned to sail down the Chesapeake Bay,

368
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:52,000
around Cape Hatteras, and parallel to the east coast of the U.S. before jumping to their final destination, Guadeloupe.

369
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:59,000
When the Antigua failed to arrive on schedule, the Coast Guard was notified.

370
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,000
We searched for a little over two weeks.

371
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:07,000
We also alerted all the cutters and aircraft who searched throughout the Caribbean every day for other things.

372
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Never saw one sight of the vessel. It never showed up. We have never seen it since.

373
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:23,000
However, the Coast Guard did discover that the Antigua was sighted a number of times, several miles off-course in the inter-coastal waterway.

374
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:28,000
The waterway is a protected inland passage which stretches from New England through Florida.

375
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Nobody can explain what the boat was doing there.

376
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Have you seen these boats and these two guys?

377
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:45,000
In December of 1991, two of Yves-Emmanuel's friends flew from France to South Carolina to launch their own investigation.

378
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Jean-Yves Lalinac and Isabel Citelle began by retracing the Catamaran's route.

379
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Their first stop was a bridge 90 miles north of Charleston, South Carolina.

380
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Hi, bonjour. How are you?

381
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,000
How can I help you?

382
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Yes, we are looking for this French boat that appeared on the waterway in November.

383
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Oh, an Antigua 37? Sure.

384
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
The bridge tender remembered seeing the two missing sailors.

385
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Surprisingly, he also revealed there was a third man on the boat.

386
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:28,000
A third person was not supposed to be on board. The fact that they did not contact the captain...

387
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Greg Flynn is a local yachtsman who helped in the search.

388
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:42,000
Any plans or that there was someone else aboard or that they had any trouble indicates that something happened that had not been planned for?

389
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,000
The mysterious third passenger was sighted by at least five different witnesses.

390
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Each reported that the man did not seem threatening.

391
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Leading to rumors that perhaps one or both of the Frenchmen had been involved in stealing the boat.

392
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,000
But their families and friends vehemently dismissed that scenario.

393
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Truly, Yves Emmanuel is not the type of person who would do something like that.

394
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:18,000
He was training someone he didn't know beforehand and felt responsible, both for the boat and for Laurent.

395
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:23,000
It's impossible that Yves Emmanuel would have involved Laurent in some dangerous adventure,

396
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,000
even if it meant making enormous sums of money.

397
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Jean Yves is convinced that the stranger, perhaps aided by an armed hidden accomplice, hijacked the Antigua,

398
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000
but did not know how to sail it.

399
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:47,000
If the purpose was simply to steal the boat, they would have just killed Yves Emmanuel and Laurent from them overboard.

400
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:54,000
There must have been a reason for keeping them alive and logically, that seems to be just to keep the boat going.

401
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Yves Emmanuel Père and Laurent Erna were last seen on the boat 30 miles south of Charleston, South Carolina.

402
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Five weeks later, they were pulled over in the speeding car.

403
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Was the man in the back seat the mysterious third passenger?

404
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Perhaps Yves Emmanuel and Laurent were being held against their will.

405
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Or perhaps, it seems unlikely, they fooled everyone and made off with a $200,000 prize.

406
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Next, a father embarks on a desperate quest to prove to authorities that his son did not commit suicide.

407
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:51,000
Sunday, June 30, 1991, Galesburg, Illinois.

408
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Long time residents Larry and Lois Williams had finally given in to two days of worry.

409
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,000
If he doesn't answer the door, I'm going to go inside.

410
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:06,000
They had been trying to reach their 23-year-old son, Danny, since early Saturday morning.

411
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
I think I can get into the kitchen one day.

412
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Danny, this is your dad.

413
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:22,000
I kept calling Danny's name saying, Danny, this is your dad, this is me coming in, because he did have a gun in the house for protection

414
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,000
and I didn't want to be in a situation where he was asleep and shot his own dad.

415
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,000
My first thought in looking at him is that he was not alive.

416
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:41,000
He was sitting on the couch in an upright position with a bullet in his head and a gun in his lap.

417
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:48,000
So the comment that I made as I went through the door, oh, Danny, don't let this be what it looks like.

418
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Danny Williams was Larry and Lois's youngest son.

419
00:32:53,000 --> 00:33:00,000
For two years, Danny had managed distribution for the family's multimillion-dollar apparel manufacturing company.

420
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,000
Yet recently bought his first house, the house where he died.

421
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,000
Larry Williams called the Galesburg police.

422
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,000
It's a 9-millimeter semi-automatic pistol.

423
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:26,000
The position of the body, the type of wound, the absence of any specific evidence of foul play indicated to us that the gunshot wound could have been self-inflicted

424
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,000
and caused us to classify the case as a suicide.

425
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000
I grew up in the south handling guns.

426
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,000
I know how guns operate. I've shot every kind that there is.

427
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:41,000
And it would be almost impossible for an individual to have shot themselves

428
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:46,000
and have a bullet or a gunling in their lap in the position this was. It just wasn't natural.

429
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Convinced that his son had not committed suicide,

430
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Larry Williams hired a private detective, Mike Turnquist.

431
00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:00,000
The time of Danny's death had been estimated to be 2.30 a.m. on Saturday.

432
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:07,000
But Turnquist immediately found a neighbor who said she had seen Danny several hours later at approximately 10.30 a.m.

433
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Good morning, Mrs. Sayers.

434
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Yes.

435
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,000
My name is Mike Turnquist, I'm a private investigator.

436
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,000
Yes.

437
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,000
And I'm working on the death of Danny Williams.

438
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,000
I shouldn't admit it, but I watch everybody's business.

439
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:22,000
It was Saturday morning that I saw Danny get in the car with this woman.

440
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,000
So naturally, being nosy as I am, I looked her over real good.

441
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:32,000
She had dark hair. She would have been between 25 and 30.

442
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,000
The police knew that Danny, whose license had been revoked,

443
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,000
was picked up by his mother on Friday, the day before he died.

444
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:45,000
They believed Mrs. Sayers had her days mixed up.

445
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,000
No, it was not Friday, it was Saturday.

446
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:56,000
And the lady in the blue car was too young to have been his mother.

447
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Several witnesses had also noticed activity at Danny's house on Sunday,

448
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,000
a full 24 hours after the estimated time of death.

449
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:11,000
One of the people later seen outside the house was a young man with curly brown hair,

450
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,000
approximately 5 feet 4 inches tall.

451
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,000
The eyewitness testimony can easily be mistaken.

452
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,000
It's as simple as that.

453
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,000
They may have seen some activity there, but it's a distinct possibility

454
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:30,000
that the days may have been confused as to when they were seeing that movement.

455
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Danny's father claimed that some of the physical evidence

456
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:39,000
turned up by the police themselves seemed to argue against suicide.

457
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000
The bullet which they believed had killed Danny

458
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,000
exited through his head and lodged in the wall.

459
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Curiously when the police removed the bullet, there was only one small spot

460
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,000
which appeared to be blood on the paneling.

461
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,000
With the head being that close to the wall,

462
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,000
you most certainly would expect to find large or massive amounts of blood splatter,

463
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:05,000
either at or near the back of the couch and most certainly on the back wall.

464
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:12,000
We don't necessarily agree that there would have to be a large quantity of blood behind him.

465
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:17,000
The theory that there would have to be a large amount of blood is based on,

466
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:22,000
in some cases, based on what's seen in the movies and what's seen on television,

467
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,000
and that's not necessarily consistent with what happens in fact.

468
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Larry Williams next brought in an independent forensic scientist, Mark Bozzi,

469
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:37,000
to determine whether someone else had been in the house when Danny died.

470
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,000
I had this feeling that I was going to go out, see the house,

471
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:48,000
see a typical messy scene and tell Larry that I think your son committed suicide.

472
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:53,000
From the pictures, they have Danny that did look like a contact wound in the forehead.

473
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:57,000
So I could go with a suicide possibly or an execution.

474
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:02,000
When we get to the house and there's a lack of evidence to support the suicide.

475
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Hey Larry, you better take a look at this.

476
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Bozzi used a laser luminescence scanner to search out organic matter,

477
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:13,000
including blood, which might not be apparent to the naked eye.

478
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,000
He discovered evidence of blood in several places, even on the television set.

479
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Wow.

480
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Take a look at that splatter pattern all over the TV set.

481
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:30,000
If Danny just shot himself sitting there, you definitely would not have a pattern at all behind the TV set.

482
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,000
And there's nothing to indicate Danny got up after shooting himself and walked around.

483
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:39,000
So someone else obviously dropped the blood droplets everywhere else that we found.

484
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:43,000
We'll have to take a swiping of that and bring it back to the lab, get it typed.

485
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:48,000
The blood found on and behind the television is still awaiting tests by a forensic scientist

486
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,000
who specializes in blood pattern analysis.

487
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,000
However, samples found in other parts of the house have been typed.

488
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:02,000
Danny Williams' blood was type B. Mark Bozzi found type B and type O blood in the den

489
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,000
where Danny's body was.

490
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Oddly, Bozzi also found type O blood in the bathroom and inside the pocket of Danny's jeans.

491
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,000
It is not possible that all the blood in the room came from Danny.

492
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,000
It's an impossibility.

493
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:24,000
This evidence suggests to me that two people in the room were bleeding.

494
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,000
Two separate individuals.

495
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:33,000
The official police position was that the alleged type O blood samples had been compromised

496
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,000
when the crime scene was cleaned.

497
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:42,000
According to the Illinois State Crime Lab, the adulterated samples could not be typed definitively.

498
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:48,000
I would begin to question the procedures if they claimed that they did not find type O blood on the evidence.

499
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:52,000
I could guarantee you'd send that same evidence to five different independent laboratories.

500
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,000
They have no idea what this case is about.

501
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:59,000
They have no idea that this was a murder or a suicide or anything.

502
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:03,000
And they will come back to type B blood and type O blood.

503
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:10,000
The police also point out that there was no way to determine how long the alleged type O blood had been there.

504
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Further, they say that Mark Bozzi's samples taken six weeks after Danny's death were not fresh enough to type.

505
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,000
I don't know why they would argue the point.

506
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,000
King Tut was typed for blood.

507
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,000
And he's how many thousand of years old?

508
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:31,000
The independent lab feels very confident in their results.

509
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:42,000
They have provided those results to Mr. Williams and that's contributed to his concerns about the finding of suicide.

510
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,000
We feel just as strongly about the results of the Illinois State Crime Lab,

511
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:51,000
that there was no evidence of a type O blood in that home.

512
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:58,000
Mark Bozzi's investigation appeared to turn up a piece of evidence which had been previously overlooked,

513
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:04,000
and which supported the theory that the blood of two different people was shed in Danny's house.

514
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,000
It's the same type that Danny's gun would use.

515
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:11,000
Mark was processing the room. He opened the couch up and a shell casing fell out.

516
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Later tests showed that this shell did come from Danny's gun. It had been recently fired.

517
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:22,000
So there were two shells found on the couch that came from Danny's gun.

518
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:28,000
Okay, now we tried to analyze this and decide, well, did Danny shoot someone?

519
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Did someone else use Danny's gun and shoot him?

520
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:37,000
From the scene photos I saw, Danny's gun was laying on his lap. His hand was laying on top of the gun,

521
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:42,000
just as if he shot and then set it back down.

522
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:47,000
It's a little inconsistent with a suicide.

523
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:52,000
Okay, Larry, I set up the rod here in line with the bullet path through the wall.

524
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:58,000
Now I'm gonna get down and try to get my head in line with the bullet path in the wall.

525
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,000
How am I doing?

526
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Well, you're low enough but you gotta point the gun more toward the wall.

527
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,000
I can't do it. I can't squeeze off.

528
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:11,000
The only way to think of pulling the weapon in this manner...

529
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Okay, how am I doing?

530
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Yeah, the line's right.

531
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,000
All right, and it's through my head and it can be squeezed off.

532
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,000
But you would fall over on the floor.

533
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,000
I'd fall over on the floor.

534
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,000
The body would have gone forward.

535
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,000
The body would have moved back into the position it was in.

536
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,000
The gun probably would not have been in his lap.

537
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,000
It probably would be on the floor at a coffee table.

538
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Our investigation indicated that the position of the hole in the wall was consistent with the way the body was found.

539
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Primarily based on the fact that we again can't say specifically how the individual was sitting

540
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:53,000
and exactly where on the couch he was sitting at the time the weapon was discharged.

541
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Mark Bosie has come to believe that Danny was probably not shot in the den.

542
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:07,000
One theory is that there was an altercation somewhere else during which Danny's blood and another person's was spilled.

543
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:14,000
Perhaps that person took Danny's keys out of his pocket, leaving behind a trace of typo blood.

544
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:19,000
Finally, the crime scene was arranged to make Danny's death look like a suicide.

545
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:25,000
We can advance theories all day long. Everyone can.

546
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:31,000
But the factual data that we've gathered, we feel comfortable with.

547
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Well, he picked up a gun and he...

548
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:38,000
According to the police, there was one final fact to support the suicide ruling.

549
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:44,000
They say that Danny Williams' girlfriend described an argument which had also resulted in a shooting incident

550
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,000
six months before Danny's death.

551
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,000
He had placed a weapon, handgun, to his head.

552
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,000
She then turned and started to leave the room and heard the weapon discharge

553
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,000
and found that he had discharged the weapon into a wall.

554
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:05,000
So apparently, he had considered this act before, he had discussed this act before

555
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:11,000
and had taken, I think, what would have to be considered a substantial step towards that act

556
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,000
by the discharge of the weapon during the argument.

557
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:18,000
What it appears has happened is they have come up with a conclusion

558
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:23,000
and then they've gone to a great degree of effort to try to support their theory that they put together.

559
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:28,000
Had they put as much effort into trying to find out what the truth was and what happened,

560
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:32,000
they would be working along the same lines that the family is today.

561
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,000
In fact.

562
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,000
Danny, this is your dad.

563
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:43,000
The investigators, crime labs and what have you that have had working on this from the beginning.

564
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:49,000
As soon as they went into the house, saw evidence that was in there, they're still there now.

565
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:53,000
We're convinced that I was, that it was cool blood murder.

566
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:57,000
In this most perplexing case, one issue has never been addressed.

567
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:02,000
If Danny Williams was murdered, who killed him and why?

568
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,000
Questions even his father has been unable to answer.

569
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:18,000
Next week.

570
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:24,000
Unsolved Mysteries travels to Russia to investigate the fascinating mystery of Anastasia.

571
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:29,000
She was a beautiful teenage daughter of a last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II.

572
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,000
History holds that the entire Imperial family was executed.

573
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:37,000
The story is about the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II.

574
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:43,000
History holds that the entire Imperial family was executed in the aftermath of the Bolshevik Revolution.

575
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:49,000
But years later, a woman named Anna Anderson turned up in Germany claiming that she was Anastasia

576
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,000
and many believe she had the evidence to prove it.

577
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:59,000
Her incredible claim sparked a 35 year court battle for the Tsar's legacy of 80 million dollars.

578
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:04,000
Join me next time for this intriguing journey to turn of the century Russia
