00:04:46,760 But Travis Duncan was not most people. 84 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,760 Naive and gullible, he was an easy mark for John Fisher. 85 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,760 The two would forge an unholy alliance. 86 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,760 I'm getting out of here. 87 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,760 I got $200,000 in a bank in Oklahoma. 88 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,760 I got guns, I got a

00:05:09,760 He was a leader among the other inmates. 92 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,760 Everybody looked up to him. 93 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,760 Oklahoma's mine. 94 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,760 Six months out of here. 95 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:17,760 Oklahoma's mine. 96 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,760 I always considered Fisher to be an escape risk just by his 97 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,760 actions, and he would come straight out and admit it 98 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,760 that he would escape if he had the chance. 99 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:30,760 I'm going to run this place. 100 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,760 For weeks, John Fisher filled Travis Duncan's head 101 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,760 with his wild ideas. 102 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:36,760 It's mine. 103 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,760 Then on August 18, 1992, Duncan's bail was reduced. 104 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,760 After his parents hired a new lawyer, 105 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,760 Travis Duncan was released on the condition that he lived 106 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,760 with his mother and father. 107 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,760 But Duncan insisted on moving back to his own apartment. 108 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,760 Over his parents' objections, he took his sister's pickup 109 00:05:58,760 --> 00:05:59,760 truck and left. 110 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,760 No one knows where Travis Duncan went. 111 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,760 Only what he did. 112 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,760 Travis manufactured Molly Toff cocktails, different things, 113 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,760 loaded up the back end of the pickup with all types of ammunition, 114 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,760 9-millimeter pistols, shotguns, all different types of things, 115 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:24,760 some camping equipment and food, water, things to live off of 116 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,760 if they had to hide out for a while. 117 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,760 Seminole County Jail, 5.30 p.m. the next day. 118 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:33,760 Hey, hey, Travis. 119 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:34,760 Hey, what's up? 120 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:35,760 Not much. 121 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,760 Hey, you mind if I go over and look at Travis's pickup? 122 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:39,760 Absolutely not. 123 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,760 Just finish up what you're doing. 124 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:41,760 Clint? 125 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:42,760 Hey, Travis. 126 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,760 Hey, you want some cigarettes? 127 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:45,760 Yeah. 128 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:46,760 Thanks.

was frightened. 133 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,760 He also told me if I didn't cooperate with him that he would shoot me. 134 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,760 His job ain't worth your life. 135 00:06:58,760 --> 00:06:59,760 Move. 136 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,760 Duncan was familiar with the jail routine. 137 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,760 He knew that at this hour, only the jailer would be on duty. 138 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,760 It's him. 139 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:12,760 Take off your shirt. 140 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:15,760 Hey! 141 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:18,760 Go on, take off that shirt. 142 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:19,760 Give it to me now. 143 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:20,760 Don't move, boy. 144 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,760 Don't you move. 145 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,760 Duncan quickly found the keys to the other cell. 146 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,760 He lost no time freeing John Fisher. 147 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,760 Don't you move, boy. 148 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:31,760 Fish, you ready? 149 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:32,760 I'm ready. 150 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:33,760 I was forward. 151 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:34,760 Let's go, man. 152 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:35,760 Come on. 153 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:36,760 Come on. 154 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:37,760 Come on. 155 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,760 Fisher tried to turn the escape into a mass jailbreak, but only one other person, Timothy 156 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,760 Johnson, was willing. 157 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:51,360 I think it came as a surprise to Fisher that Travis did this, showing up at just the quick 158 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,040 moment that he did. 159 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,760 We were prepared for a break, for an escape from the inside. 160 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,760 We'd never dreamed of one coming from the outside on us. 161 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:08,760 It was approximately 30 minutes before we knew of the escape, and a general broadcast 162 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:14,760 was sent out over the escape with the vehicle description and the occupants. 163 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:19,760 The Highway Patrol, the police units up on the interstate, picked them up on radar running 164 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:27,760 high rate of speed, and we were able to monitor the traffic at that point in no time of who 165 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,760 they were after and what the circumstances were. 166 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:37,760 On August 19th, I was notified by my troop headquarters of a vehicle traveling at a high 167 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:38,760 speed on I-40. 168 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:45,760 The vehicle was occupied by three white males, and we set up a roadblock to attempt to intercept 169 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,760 the vehicle as it came through. 170 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:54,760 As it came around the curve, got with the individual sighting of our roadblock, the driver of Travis 171 00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:08,760 Duck and then accelerated to about 100 miles an hour. 172 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:15,760 I jumped in my patrol car and began pursuing the pick up. 173 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,760 They continued east on I-40, running about 100 miles an hour as I caught it, the pick 174 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,760 up. 175 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:28,760 The officer began to lean out the window and shot him in my patrol car as I was pursuing 176 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:29,760 him. 177 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,760 Every time he'd lean out and try to draw a bead on my unit, then I would go to him after 178 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:33,760 the driver's side of the pick up. 179 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:40,760 Get as far over as I could, get out of the line of fire. 180 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,760 This is something that you expect to see on the movies, but you don't really expect it 181 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,760 to happen to you. 182 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,760 At 8.30 p.m., the three fugitives heading due east had rampaged along a 150-mile stretch 183 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,760 of interstate 40 at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour. 184 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,760 Just 24 miles from the Arkansas border, they headed for Kerr Lake, an area which the troopers 185 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:14,760 knew well, but the fugitives did not. 186 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,760 We exited the interstate, started south on the county road. 187 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:23,760 As we did, Fisher remained at the pass and we were going through what here to be a beer 188 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:24,760 bottle. 189 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,760 Up into the air, I could have tried to throw something through the windshield of my patrol 190 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,760 car. 191 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,760 That Molotov cocktail failed to ignite because it hit the road. 192 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:42,760 The wind, the high speed blew the wick out of it and it was smoldering. 193 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,760 A few minutes later, Fisher lobbed another homemade bomb out of the truck. 194 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:53,760 It too failed to detonate. 195 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,760 As we entered the park area, I began to crowd them in high-rated speed again to push them, 196 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,760 keeping them from making a left turn to go back to the east. 197 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,760 At that point, I had them going straight south into a closed area where there was a big steel 198 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:06,760 gate. 199 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,760 And I knew they'd have to either stop at the gate or they would crash through this heavy 200 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:18,760 steel gate. 201 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,760 A fierce firefight broke out. 202 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:27,760 Incredibly, no one was wounded, even though 70 rounds were fired. 203 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,760 The vehicle had over 2,000 rounds of ammunition in it after it crashed. 204 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,760 There were about seven Molotov cocktails and some pipe or black powder pipe bombs in the 205 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:37,760 vehicle. 206 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,760 There were firearms, there was camping gear, so they had every intentions of going to the 207 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,760 woods and not returning to jail. 208 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,760 You don't have time to fear anything. 209 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,760 The adrenaline is pumping so hard. 210 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:56,760 But your mind is rushing. 211 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:03,760 I hope I told my kids that I love them before I came to work today. 212 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,760 At around 7.45 p.m., Fisher, Duncan and Johnson fled into the woods. 213 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:15,760 Unwitting, they attract themselves on a peninsula jutting into the lake. 214 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,760 By nightfall, the State Highway Patrol, working with local law enforcement agencies, had attempted 215 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,760 to seal off all possible escape routes. 216 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,760 Finally, the Oklahoma Lake Patrol was called in. 217 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:27,760 Don't shoot! 218 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,760 Your hands up over your head! 219 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:32,760 Turn around! 220 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,760 We're on off, don't shoot! 221 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:35,760 Turn around! 222 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,760 Walk backwards, turn to both! 223 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,760 Just before 10 p.m., Fisher and Johnson were caught. 224 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,760 They claimed Travis Duncan had been shot and was lying dead in the woods, but later they 225 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,760 admitted that Duncan had in fact gone off on his own. 226 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,760 I transported Mr. Fisher back to the county jail in my patrol car. 227 00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:00,760 As we pulled into the county jail, Mr. Fisher looked me in the eye and he said, you know, 228 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:01,760 you really are a nice guy. 229 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,760 He said, I don't want you to take this all personally. 230 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,760 He said, for people like me and you, this is all in a day's work. 231 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:16,760 Which I stated, it may be in a day's work for him, but it isn't definitely not in a normal day's work for me. 232 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:21,760 We kept the area contained for nearly three days, hoping to find Duncan. 233 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,760 We used tracking dogs. 234 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,760 We did searches in case he had in fact been shot and was down in the woods. 235 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,760 The place has been thoroughly combed. 236 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,760 It was combed in a grid search area over and over again. 237 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,760 We've had a mounted patrol in their own horseback to search all the wood areas. 238 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:37,760 To no avail. 239 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:38,760 We're unable to locate him. 240 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,760 No signs that he's in there. 241 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,760 There was no evidence to indicate that he'd been shot. 242 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:50,760 One month later, police discovered a badly decomposed male body on the south shore of Kerl Lake. 243 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:57,760 He was a missing camper who'd been shot through the head that approximately the same time Travis Duncan disappeared. 244 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,760 Police now theorize that Duncan swam across the lake. 245 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,760 He then murdered the camper and used his truck to escape. 246 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,760 Update. 247 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:14,760 On May 5th, 1994, Travis Wade Duncan finally came home to Seminole County, Oklahoma. 248 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:20,760 Five days after he was arrested in Boise, Idaho. 249 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:26,760 Thanks to a tip from an alert viewer, Duncan's life on the run is finally over. 250 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,760 We believe that he went from Oklahoma to north or south Carolina, 251 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,760 has went into Washington and Oregon, went to Hawaii, 252 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,760 was in Arizona prior to being arrested in Boise, Idaho. 253 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:43,760 So he had traveled around doing odd jobs, living from one state to another. 254 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:50,760 Once in custody, Duncan willingly revealed the details of his escape from Kerl Lake. 255 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,760 Travis told me that after the crash, he stayed in the woods, 256 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,760 traveled through the woods until he came to the edge of the water on Kerl Lake. 257 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,760 He stayed head in the bushes until about an hour after dark, 258 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,760 and then he swam a cove which would be approximately a half mile wide, 259 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,760 and then came up and stayed in the tree line and walked a mountain line out, 260 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,760 and he was able to catch a ride and go east from that area. 261 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,760 I'm delighted that he's behind bars. 262 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:22,760 That kind of ends this story, and I'm completely satisfied with the results that nobody was injured. 263 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,760 He was apprehended, and he's facing the years in penitentiary that he's looking at. 264 00:15:52,760 --> 00:16:07,760 On September 10, 1991, Detective Pat Brennan of the Philadelphia police was stunned to receive not one, 265 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,760 but three telephone calls from a convicted rapist named Julius Patterson. 266 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:18,760 Out of the blue, Patterson confessed that he and his girlfriend Paulette Haight had killed two people. 267 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,760 It was like a man on a mission. 268 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,760 He was out to convince me and anyone else that would listen to him 269 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:29,760 that what he had to say was real and he was out to make the police act on it. 270 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,760 With this urgency and his voice and the detail to what he was saying to us, 271 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:39,760 just made me feel that everything he was saying was the truth and would be found it. 272 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:44,760 Patterson said one of the victims was an elderly man named Hall Luther Gordon, 273 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,760 who had mysteriously disappeared in 1988. 274 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:56,760 Patterson claimed that the remains of the other victim could be found buried in the basement of a Philadelphia row house. 275 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:01,760 Incredible.

00:31:11,960 Stephen says that Doreen's bizarre behavior 526 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,200 continued until the day she disappeared. 527 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,480 Hi, Lara. 528 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,480 Hi, is Doreen there? 529 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:22,680 No. 530 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,440 Stephen admits he did nothing for two days after Doreen 531 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,760 vanished, assuming she needed some time alone 532 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:27,840 to sort things out. 533 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,040 No, really. 534 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,160 Finally, he called Doreen's mother, 535 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,040 but she had not seen or talked to her daughter in a week. 536 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,400 I really think she went away to get a few days by herself 537 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,600 to clear her head. 538 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,160 When Steve called me in the morning, 539 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,720 he sounded strange. 540 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,040 I said, there's something wrong. 541 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,160 Then he called me afternoon. 542 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,240 Right away, I knew. 543 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,720 I told him, call the police now. 544 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,680 Don't wait. 545 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,320 The police questioned Doreen's family and friends. 546 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,400 However, no one knew what might have prompted her to just pick up 547 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:58,920 and walk away. 548 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,200 Then a phone call took the investigation 549 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,160 in a new direction. 550 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,640 I just called Stephen Monfield back. 551 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,080 He said he had Doreen followed around 552 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,120 by two private investigators for like 11 months. 553 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,040 And after they got off the phone, 554 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,040 he called the police. 555 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,040 I didn't think it was anything major, 556 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,040 but I felt something wasn't right. 557 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,040 So I'm going to tell you if something's not right, 558 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,040 I want to find out what it is. 559 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,040 So I did hire a private investigator on and off for a year, 560 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:27,040 maybe a few hours a month, to find, follow her once in a while, 561 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,040 because I don't know what was going on. 562 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,040 I just felt that there was something wrong. 563 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,040 But they never found anything. 564 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,040 Basically, what you have is you have a man who has a personality 565 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,040 who has his wife followed around for 11 months for no reason at all. 566 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,040 And this same man, later on down the road, his wife disappears. 567 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,040 She's missing for two days. 568 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,040 And he has no concern to follow her or call her 569 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,040 or to report it to the police. 570 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,040 I mean, that's totally inconsistent with his personality 571 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,040 when he has a father-in-law for no reason. 572 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,040 Here you have your wife missing now for two days. 573 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,040 And you don't think anything unusual? 574 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,040 You don't make any phone calls or call the police? 575 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,040 It's not consistent. 576 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,040 Authorities had nothing but suspicions. 577 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,040 On the one hand, there was nothing to indicate 578 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,040 that Doreen was still alive. 579 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,040 On the other hand, there was no evidence 580 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,040 as she had met with foul play. 581 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:19,040 Then on June 13, 1990, two and a half months after Doreen disappeared, 582 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,040 police got their first break in the case 583 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,040 when they received two anonymous letters. 584 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,040 In the first letter opened by investigators, 585 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,040 the author attacked Doreen's character 586 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,040 and accuser of cheating on her husband, 587 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,040 saying, among other things, 588 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,040 although on the outside, she personifies class, 589 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,040 beauty, and professionalism. 590 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,040 In reality, she is nothing more than a cheap harlot. 591 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,040 Her promotions were achieved by her sexual prowess 592 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,040 rather than management or leadership abilities. 593 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,040 The first letter that we received mentioned names of people 594 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,040 that she was involved with that we spoke to. 595 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:02,040 Who were totally surprised to even have the police question 596 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,040 that their name was even mentioned in this investigation. 597 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,040 One of them was an elderly gentleman. 598 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,040 I mean, we talked to co-workers. 599 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,040 There was absolutely no inclination 600 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,040 of Doreen having a affair with anyone. 601 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,040 Her co-worker says that was totally out of her character. 602 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,040 She had mentioned just a normal conversation with her co-workers 603 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,040 that that's something she would never be involved in 604 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,040 or tolerate with any type of marital affairs, 605 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,040 even long before she disappeared. 606 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,040 However, according to Doreen's sister, 607 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:33,040 Doreen had once considered leaving Stephen for another man, 608 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,040 not one year before she vanished, but 10 years earlier. 609 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,040 She was having an affair, and the guy that she was having 610 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,040 the affair with was leaving or wanted to have her leave 611 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,040 with him to wherever he was going. 612 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,040 She was pretty worried and very upset about what she should do, 613 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,040 and she came to me, and eventually to my husband, 614 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,040 to talk about it, and we all decided 615 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,040 that probably the best thing she should do 616 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,040 was not do what she was thinking of doing. 617 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:08,040 So this had been her thought that had passed through her head before. 618 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,040 The second letter was even more disturbing than the first. 619 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,040 This letter gave a chilling account 620 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:19,040 of how Stephen Marfeo had allegedly murdered his wife. 621 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,040 Stephen got hot under the collar. 622 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:27,040 He made for couch and strangled Doreen. 623 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,040 On a narrow dirt road, he stopped 624 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,040 and deposited wife's body in reeds and a pond. 625 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,040 When we first received these letters, 626 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,040 the captain and I felt as though that Stephen Marfeo 627 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,040 may have been the author of these letters, 628 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,040 based on some of the information that was contained, 629 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,040 the contents, he would have only been the one to know these contents. 630 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,040 What we did at that point was to reaffirm our belief 631 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,040 we had him sent up to Syracuse University 632 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,040 and had him examined by Dr. Murray Myron, 633 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,040 who's an expert in psycho linguistics. 634 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,040 For his opinion, as who the author may have been. 635 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:02,040 Well, it's got to be of someone who knew Doreen quite well, 636 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:06,040 close to the family, the Marfeos. 637 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:14,040 And then one says that the easiest and simplest account of this was, 638 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:18,040 it was designed to deceive the authorities. 639 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,040 In his report, Dr. Myron pointed a finger directly 640 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,040 of Stephen Marfeo. 641 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,040 Myron concluded that Marfeo probably wrote both letters 642 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:33,040 and was, quote, a logical suspect in the murder of his wife. 643 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,040 I did not type any letters. 644 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,040 They're police. They can say whatever they want. 645 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,040 And they do, and they get away with it. 646 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:45,040 But I'm really getting tired of the accusations and the allegations. 647 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:51,040 And you want to know if you have something, bring it forward. 648 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:56,040 The police see several typewriters to which Stephen had access. 649 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,040 A comparison of type styles revealed that the first letter 650 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:05,040 had indeed been written on a typewriter belonging to one of Stephen's close relatives. 651 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:12,040 It establishes for the first time a linkage between 652 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:18,040 the document, the instrument, and a suspect. 653 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,040 So it was a major of importance to us. 654 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:25,040 And I mean, it's like a fingerprint as far as identification. 655 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,040 It's easy for them to suspect the spouse. 656 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:34,040 And they've been proved wrong before, and they'll be proven wrong again. 657 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:39,040 Everybody calls me an optimist, and everybody says, oh, Steve Koehler. 658 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,040 But I don't believe that at all. 659 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,040 None of his friends do as well. 660 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:48,040 The ones that I know that I've talked to, I myself don't. 661 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:52,040 The police do, but there is no evidence. 662 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,040 They've tried to convince me that he did do it. 663 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,040 There's a possibility. 664 00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:01,040 But in my mind, when I see the way Steve acts, when a male comes, 665 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:06,040 a foam brings, as I said, that goes back. 666 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,040 He still thinks that she's alive. 667 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:19,040 Today, Stephen Marfio lives in the same house that he and Doreen shared for 12 years. 668 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:23,040 The police still believe that Stephen is the only person responsible 669 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:27,040 for the disappearance of his wife, although they lack enough evidence 670 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,040 to charge him at this time. 671 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,040 I had nothing to do with my wife's disappearance. 672 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,040 Nor do I know where she is. 673 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,040 I would like to think that she's still alive. 674 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,040 But I do feel that it's possible. 675 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,040 It could go the other way, too. 676 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,040 But I want to know that she is alive. 677 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:10,040 Next, a businessman vanishes after scamming the government 678 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,040 out of millions of dollars. 679 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:27,040 April 6, 1993, off the coast of Louisiana, 680 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,040 near the mouth of the Mississippi River. 681 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,040 Can you show me that hole?
