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 --> 00:00:11,880 What you are about to see is not a news broadcast. 5 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,880 30-year-old Army Staff Sergeant Billy Ray Hargrove 6 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,760 wanted to spend his life in the military. 7 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,620 But in February of 1992, Hargrove was found 8 00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:30,820 dead, hung by the neck in his own backyard. 9 00:00:30,820 --> 00:00:33,500 Incredibly, just six weeks later, 10 00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:36,260 Hargrove's best friend Sergeant Mike Carmichael 11 00:00:36,260 --> 00:00:41,380 was also found dead, hung from a barracks locker. 12 00:00:41,380 --> 00:00:45,340 What happened to Billy Ray Hargrove and Mike Carmichael? 13 00:00:45,340 --> 00:00:47,540 Congress is currently looking into these deaths, 14 00:00:47,540 --> 00:00:49,980 and several other cases of American servicemen 15 00:00:49,980 --> 00:00:53,100 have died under questionable circumstances. 16 00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:56,580 In each case, a man is killed, and a woman is killed. 17 00:00:56,580 --> 00:00:59,300 Military's rules suicide are accidents, 18 00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:02,340 but some family members and friends are crying murder, 19 00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:05,060 perhaps not without reason. 20 00:01:05,060 --> 00:01:08,060 Join us for this intriguing investigation and more 21 00:01:08,060 --> 00:01:10,060 on unsolved mysteries. 22 00:01:40,060 --> 00:02:09,900 In the early 1980s, the resort mecca of Miami, 23 00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:13,700 Florida found itself in the midst of an urban crisis. 24 00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:17,800 First, the city was deluged by more than 120,000 refugees 25 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:18,860 from Cuba. 26 00:02:18,860 --> 00:02:21,660 Among them were 30,000 hardcore criminals. 27 00:02:24,780 --> 00:02:28,700 Simultaneously, racial tensions were polarizing the populace. 28 00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:31,940 And in the summer of 1980, six days of rioting 29 00:02:31,940 --> 00:02:34,660 convulsed the city. 30 00:02:34,660 --> 00:02:37,400 In response, Miami doubled the size of its police force 31 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,840 between 1980 and 1983. 32 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,680 It was an unprecedented expansion, 33 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,000 but the accelerated pace exacted a price. 34 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,520 According to some, a handful of questionable applicants 35 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,360 slipped through the screening process, 36 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,480 and soon Miami had yet another problem, corrupt officers 37 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,960 at the heart of its police department. 38 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,200 It began almost quietly. 39 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,720 The early abuses were minor shake downs 40 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,840 and the targets small-time drug dealers. 41 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:08,360 Registralo. 42 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,160 Callate. 43 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:09,960 Vamos. 44 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,080 A ver, ¿qué tienes? 45 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,360 A number of the early rip-offs were simple car stops 46 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,160 where the police officers would see small amounts of drugs 47 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,360 and money and would proceed to take those drugs and money, 48 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,640 believing that the people who they were stopping 49 00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:27,160 weren't going to report those incidents 50 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,480 to the police department. 51 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,440 They felt that they were invincible as long 52 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,360 as they stood together. 53 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,640 As long as no one talked, it was their word 54 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,560 against common thugs on the street. 55 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,360 But these police officers succumbed to greed, 56 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,560 and they would go out and say that we're not 57 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,000 a harming, law-abiding citizen. 58 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,080 And that's how they rationalized and justified 59 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,800 a lot of their crimes that they committed. 60 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,880 Ahora, lárcate. 61 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:52,760 Lárcate. 62 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,760 No, ya está. 63 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,840 Vete. 64 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,240 One of the most notorious of the rogue officers 65 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,040 was Armando Garcia. 66 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,720 In high school, he was associated with a group of drug users, 67 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,840 ties he had been able to hide when he joined the police force. 68 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,520 Garcia was not content with nickel and dime shakedowns. 69 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,720 He grew bold enough to confiscate literally 70 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,800 boatloads of drugs and bogus police operations 71 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,200 that were totally off the record, raids which eventually 72 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,480 escalated into violence. 73 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,840 In July of 1985, Garcia learned that some 400 kilos 74 00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:32,360 of pure cocaine would soon arrive in Miami. 75 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,240 He had allegedly intercepted a similar shipment two weeks 76 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,760 before, and it seemed as easy as taking candy from a baby. 77 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:42,740 Police! 78 00:04:42,740 --> 00:04:43,720 Miami police! 79 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,240 Drop and go! 80 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,160 But this time, Garcia's plans went sour. 81 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,960 Tango, fuera de aquí. 82 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,640 Get out of here or face the consequences. 83 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,600 Six of the doper's jumped in the water 84 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,560 to escape the police officer, thinking 85 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,280 it was an official raid. 86 00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:05,040 Three of them drowned. 87 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,600 The officers left for 400 kilos of cocaine. 88 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,360 Metro Day Police Department began the investigation 89 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,280 immediately after the three bodies were found, 90 00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:18,600 and they thought it was a routine homicide. 91 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,000 I need you to tell me exactly what it was you saw. 92 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:21,840 Sure. 93 00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:24,840 I saw police cars come into the yard. 94 00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:25,600 How many? 95 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,960 There were three of them. 96 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:27,720 What department? 97 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,840 The city of Miami Police Department. 98 00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:31,160 Detectives were stunned. 99 00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:34,440 When a harbor security guard said the three men had drowned 100 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,360 while fleeing a police raid, official police logs 101 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,280 had no record of such a raid. 102 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:44,640 Further investigation blew the lid off Armando Garcia's 103 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,160 secret life. 104 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,680 Ultimately, he and 34 other Miami police officers 105 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,680 were arrested on corruption charges. 106 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,600 No tenemos otro remedio. 107 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,000 We have no choice. 108 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,600 Hay que eliminarlos. 109 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,600 We must eliminate our problem. 110 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,000 While in prison, Garcia and several other officers 111 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,440 allegedly hashed a secret plot to kill 112 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,000 a number of the witnesses scheduled to testify against them. 113 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,120 75,000. 114 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,720 In January of 1986, after four months in jail, 115 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,920 Garcia and several associates made bail. 116 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,360 According to investigators, they lost no time putting 117 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,800 their murder plans into action against one of the prosecution's 118 00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:29,760 top witnesses. 119 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,960 They supplied $50,000 to one hit man for that hit, 120 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,600 but it did not take place. 121 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,640 He took their money and did not commit the hit. 122 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,800 And they attempted even themselves. 123 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,840 They hid in the bushes waiting for one of the government 124 00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:46,000 witnesses, but never could find him. 125 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,120 In the end, none of the witnesses were harmed. 126 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,880 But in spite of their testimony, the corruption case 127 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,440 against Garcia and his co-defendants ended in a mistrial. 128 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,920 By then, however, evidence of the assassination 129 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,760 plots had come to light. 130 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,600 The former officers were indicted 131 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,840 on a second set of charges, including conspiracy 132 00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:09,080 to commit murder. 133 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,360 Several of the officers after the indictment 134 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,400 decided that they would cooperate. 135 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,080 The other officers realized then that the case had reached 136 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,560 a point where it was almost a sure conviction 137 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,120 if they went to court. 138 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,080 At that point, they made a decision to take flight. 139 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,920 Armando Garcia disappeared in May of 1987. 140 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,840 He is 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 185 pounds, 141 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,440 and has brown hair and brown eyes. 142 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,920 Garcia was born in Cuba, and police now fear he may have 143 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,040 slipped away to South America. 144 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,240 He is married and is known to have two young daughters, ages 145 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,880 3 and 4. 146 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,680 Authorities are also seeking Garcia's father, 147 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,200 Toribio Dagoberto Garcia. 148 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,280 He is 55 years old, balding, and has brown eyes. 149 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:03,160 He stands 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 170 pounds. 150 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,000 A third suspect wanted in this case 151 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,440 is Victor Zapata, another former officer. 152 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,320 Zapata is 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighs 175 pounds, 153 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,440 and has brown hair and brown eyes. 154 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:43,320 Next, two friends turn out to be brother and sister. 155 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,120 Perhaps you can help find the rest of the family. 156 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,760 It was just three days before Christmas in 1964. 157 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,040 A young woman from Flint, Michigan named Faith Marie Brown 158 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,320 stole out for a late night joy ride with two friends. 159 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:06,320 Fast to the night. 160 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:07,320 Fast to the night. 161 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,320 Come on. 162 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,320 Oh, watch out. 163 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,320 Watch out. 164 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:28,480 Miraculously, the driver survived the crash, 165 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,680 but both passengers were killed instantly. 166 00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:36,280 Faith Brown was dead at the age of 26. 167 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,760 In addition to her parents and four brothers, 168 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,800 Faith left behind seven children under the age of 10. 169 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,240 The untimely death of Faith Marie Brown 170 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,640 added one final tragic twist to the already complicated lives 171 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,320 of her four sons and three daughters. 172 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,600 Two divorces and now the fatal car crash 173 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,760 has scattered the children to five different families. 174 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,000 It seemed they would be separated forever 175 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,680 until a young woman named April Courgeous, who'd been adopted 176 00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:07,200 as a child, set out to find her biological parents. 177 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,720 In 1992, April was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 178 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,880 and hereditary disease. 179 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,080 Concerned about her own children's health, 180 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,760 April began her search, one with more than a share of surprises. 181 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,840 It all started in the records office of Shiawasi County, 182 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,640 Michigan. 183 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,720 I told them that I knew my name was Michelle Brown at birth, 184 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,680 and that my birthday was September 18, 1961. 185 00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:39,160 And I was adopted, and I'd like any information 186 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,320 available on my adoption. 187 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,120 Whom there's another child named Brown. 188 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,520 I kind of glanced over, and I seen the name Michael Brown 189 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:48,600 right underneath mine. 190 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,480 And so I knew I had a brother. 191 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,840 May I take a look at that? 192 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,920 April was not permitted to examine the records. 193 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,440 Strict regulations govern the release of adoption files, 194 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,320 and April petitioned a county judge 195 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,600 for access to the information. 196 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,240 Three days later, she received this letter. 197 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,440 It contained the astonishing revelation 198 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,560 that April had four brothers and two sisters. 199 00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:14,440 However, the key details that would allow her to find them 200 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,960 had been omitted. 201 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:21,480 April Courges was trapped in a bureaucratic catch 22. 202 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,640 I was a little bit upset that there wasn't 203 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:29,280 more information released on the other brothers and sisters. 204 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:34,440 We were all over the legal age, and we're all mature adults 205 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,080 now, and we should be able to handle it. 206 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,120 And I was a little bit upset that they wouldn't give us 207 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,500 any more than they did, but yet thankful that they at least 208 00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:43,520 give me that much. 209 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,200 I never even knew you were adopted. 210 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,440 Mike Galloway, the husband of April's best friend, 211 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,760 Deb, had also been adopted. 212 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,880 He was especially curious about April's investigation. 213 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,480 I mean, I knew that my birth name was Brown, 214 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,880 but they weren't willing to divulge any other names. 215 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:01,520 Your birth name is Brown? 216 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,480 Yeah. 217 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,480 That's funny. 218 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,880 My adopted parents told me my birth name was Brown. 219 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,200 Oh, you're kidding. 220 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,200 Could I see the letter? 221 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,400 Sure. 222 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,040 When I showed Mike the letter, he looked at it 223 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,520 in the paragraph where it said, I 224 00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:16,840 had a brother born in Owasso in 1960. 225 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,480 He kind of looked over the top of the letter 226 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,240 and said, I was born in Owasso in 1960, 227 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,080 and my last name was Brown. 228 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,400 We thought it would be funny if we were brother and sister, 229 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,760 but we really didn't think that was a possibility. 230 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,920 Brown's a common name, and when I was brought up, 231 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,760 it's just like Smith or Jones or any other common name 232 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:35,360 like that. 233 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:40,560 So I'm the type of person that likes to see things in writing 234 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,720 or in my face before I actually settle down 235 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:44,720 to believe that it's true. 236 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,640 The next morning, April met Mike and Deb at their house. 237 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,160 Mike's adoptive parents had often told him 238 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,680 that he had a sister named Michelle. 239 00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:57,120 I'm trying to find Michelle. 240 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,600 Wait a minute. 241 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,160 Did you say your sister's name was Michelle? 242 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,160 Yeah. 243 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,200 Michael, my real name is Michelle Brown. 244 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,800 We knew it had to be that we were brother and sister. 245 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,480 Don't try to tell me that this is another coincidence. 246 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:15,240 We jumped up and we hugged each other and Deb and said, 247 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,320 I can't believe I've known you for eight years, 248 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,480 and now I find out you're my brother. 249 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,720 This is too wild. 250 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,280 I'm kind of glad that April and I didn't meet first 251 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,680 and then start dating and end up getting married or something 252 00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:37,120 because then that would have been kind of shocking to have 253 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,080 kids with your own sister, I suppose. 254 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,200 Mike and April matched information 255 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,960 from the county files with recollections primarily 256 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,400 from Mike's adoptive parents. 257 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,040 Soon a picture began to emerge of their birth mother, Faith 258 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:52,920 Marie Brown. 259 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,760 Come on, we really need to talk about this now. 260 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,040 Not in here. 261 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,160 When she was just 16 years old, Faith 262 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,880 had dropped out of high school to be married. 263 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,840 By the time she was 20, she already 264 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,800 had four children, including twin boys. 265 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,640 Faith would lose them all when her young marriage ended 266 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,120 in divorce. 267 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,200 What are you talking about? 268 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,200 They're coming with me, and if you try to fight me, Faith, 269 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,000 I will take you to court. 270 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,480 At the heart of the conflict was her husband's belief 271 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,640 that another man had fathered the twins. 272 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,840 You're not raising them either. 273 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,840 Why are you doing this? 274 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,040 Because I want to do what's best for the kids. 275 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,760 Mike and April would later learn that their father 276 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,400 was yet another man 25 years older than their mother. 277 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,040 For a while, OK. 278 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,040 OK. 279 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,600 From what we know, our mother had a very hard time 280 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,600 at anything she ever done. 281 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,560 She had kids one right after the other, 282 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,480 and like she wasn't responsible for them. 283 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:54,960 She wouldn't give them up for adoption, 284 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,600 or they would eventually be taken away. 285 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,040 I don't think she could really handle 286 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,520 the responsibilities of having the kids. 287 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,720 In 1962, Michigan Social Services took custody 288 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,440 of April and Michael. 289 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,680 Three months later, their father and Faith 290 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,080 had another daughter, Shannon. 291 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,480 After Faith died, Shannon was put up for adoption, 292 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,440 and the records sealed in county files. 293 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:20,640 OK. 294 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,680 We can see my family again. 295 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,160 We believe that a gentleman by the name of Mr. Dennis 296 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,720 is our father. 297 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,120 And as far as we know or have been able to find out, 298 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,400 he is still alive. 299 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,040 We'd like to be able to get in touch with him, more or less, 300 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,240 to say hi and see what kind of person he's like. 301 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,960 But if he doesn't want, even if he doesn't want a relationship 302 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,640 with us, we would still at least like a chance to say hello. 303 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,600 It's pretty frustrating, because we have a lot of little pieces 304 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,200 of information, and it's like a puzzle that's 305 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,360 missing half the pieces. 306 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,360 I think it was faith that brought April and I together. 307 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,320 I hope it's faith that brings April and I 308 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,920 and our other brothers and sisters together. 309 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,280 Living in a small town like we do, 310 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,440 we've wondered if some of the people we've 311 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,520 met may be related to us. 312 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,160 And we never knew it. 313 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,440 We've had people say, do you have a sister that 314 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,440 lives in St. John, because you sure remind me of somebody. 315 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,880 Before I didn't say no, not that I know of. 316 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,680 Well, now I can't say that. 317 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,280 I may have. 318 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,800 Together, April and Mike tried to locate their five 319 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,320 lost siblings, William, Wanda, Shannon, and twins Keith 320 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,240 and Kenneth, but none of their leads paid off, 321 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,200 until the night of our broadcast. 322 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,240 That evening, four of Faith Browse Missing Children 323 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,600 were watching. 324 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,200 All five contacted the family. 325 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,240 All five contacted our phone center within 24 hours. 326 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,400 April and Michael quickly made Plans a host 327 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,720 of a remarkable family reunion. 328 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,000 They would soon be face to face with two sisters 329 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,440 and three brothers, who until recently they 330 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:07,840 didn't even know existed. 331 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,440 The first to arrive were William, Shannon, and Wanda. 332 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:18,880 All right. 333 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:19,880 What are you up to? 334 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:20,880 Here. 335 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:22,960 What are you doing? 336 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,440 When we started hugging, didn't want to stop. 337 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,080 And it was like seeing old friends or something. 338 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,920 It was overwhelming, joyous, happy. 339 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,920 A whole bunch of emotions all wrapped up one. 340 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,680 When I hugged April, it was something, 341 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:40,560 I don't know what it was. 342 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,800 It was just something. 343 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,280 I felt something inside. 344 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,880 And I noticed she keeps looking at me, 345 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,240 and I keep looking at her. 346 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,360 And it's just strange to look like somebody. 347 00:17:56,360 --> 00:17:58,000 When Kenneth and Keith showed up, 348 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,200 the reunion was complete. 349 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,120 For Mike Galloway, it was a moment 350 00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:04,040 he thought might never arrive. 351 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:04,940 Hey. 352 00:18:04,940 --> 00:18:05,840 How you doing? 353 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,040 All right. 354 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,640 When you're adopted out, and you know 355 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,440 that there's other brothers and sisters out there, 356 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,280 you don't really feel like you're a whole person. 357 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,720 And with finding all the rest of them, 358 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,840 it just kind of makes you feel like you're a whole person. 359 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,000 Like your whole life is now back in order. 360 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,440 The party exceeded everyone's wildest expectations. 361 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,240 With a total of 33 family members present, 362 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,920 it was one of Unsolved Mysteries' largest reunions ever. 363 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,160 Just knowing that there's family out there, it means a lot. 364 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,480 Because it's a part of mom. 365 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,640 And now, with all the brothers and sisters being together, 366 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,280 she'll live on with us forever now. 367 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,760 And today, I think she's going to rest in peace. 368 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,240 This is the National Cemetery in Little Rock, Arkansas, 369 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,560 the final resting place for hundreds of soldiers, sailors, 370 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,440 and pilots, veterans of every major conflict 371 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,880 in the history of this country. 372 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,800 Also buried here are two men who are 373 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,280 at the center of one of the most intriguing mysteries 374 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,400 we have ever encountered. 375 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,200 Recently, we came across this article in the Philadelphia 376 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,200 Enquirer, in which investigative reporter David Zucchino outlined 377 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,880 the cases of 40 US servicemen who died 378 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,360 under questionable circumstances. 379 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,880 Every case has been ruled either a suicide or a self-inflicted 380 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,880 accident by the military. 381 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,480 Yet in each instance, there seems to be evidence 382 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,240 that defies the official ruling. 383 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,800 In May of 1993, the families of 14 soldiers 384 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,440 said to have taken their own lives, 385 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,040 testified before the House Armed Services Committee. 386 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,840 Each family claimed their son did not commit suicide. 387 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,080 Tonight, we will be looking at two of the most baffling cases, 388 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,000 the cases of Sergeant Billy Ray Hargrove and Sergeant Mike 389 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,520 Carmichael. 390 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,560 The Army has refused to participate in our broadcast 391 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,160 and stands by the judgment that the two soldiers killed 392 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,720 themselves. 393 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,520 Both families say the Army is dead wrong. 394 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,840 Mike didn't have nothing to die for. 395 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,920 No more than Billy had to die for. 396 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,720 Neither one of them committed suicide. 397 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:33,400 They didn't do it. 398 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,360 Billy Ray Hargrove and Mike Carmichael 399 00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:41,200 led similar lives and suffered similar deaths. 400 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,440 Both had planned careers in the military since childhood. 401 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,400 Both had joined the Army in their teens 402 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,520 and become the best of friends as they climbed the ranks. 403 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,680 Both had married Korean women while stationed in the Far East. 404 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,120 Tragically, Billy Ray Hargrove and Mike Carmichael 405 00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:00,400 died within six weeks of each other. 406 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,200 And according to the Army, they committed suicide 407 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,200 in a similar manner. 408 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,160 During Operation Desert Storm, Billy Ray Hargrove and his outfit 409 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,400 were sent from their base in Germany to Saudi Arabia. 410 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,920 However, the conflict ended before the platoon 411 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,200 saw active duty. 412 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:25,160 When Billy finished Desert Storm and went back to Germany, 413 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,120 he was disappointed because his man did not 414 00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:35,040 get a merit award, a medal, that he felt like they deserved. 415 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,600 And he set about trying to get the medal far 416 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:43,680 and every direction he went in, he couldn't accomplish it. 417 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,480 We're wondering when you'd recommend us for the Desert 418 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,080 Storm decoration. 419 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,160 Billy Ray, I appreciate everything you and the men 420 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,120 did during the campaign. 421 00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:56,720 But since the unit did not go into combat, 422 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,000 I'm refusing the application. 423 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,960 Sir, I understand your point, but the men were just as- 424 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,920 I've decided to refuse the application. 425 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,560 Billy Ray could not accept the Army's decision 426 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,360 and made a questionable decision of his own. 427 00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:16,480 He forged a superior signature on the appropriate documents. 428 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,520 A short time later, his men received their medals. 429 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,640 A few months passed. 430 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,080 In June of 1991, Billy Ray arrived in Korea 431 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,040 for another tour of duty. 432 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,360 At the airport, he met his wife, Kim, 433 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:34,360 in unexpected trouble. 434 00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:35,680 Sergeant Hargrove? 435 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:36,080 Yes, sir. 436 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,400 I'm here to place you under arrest for treason. 437 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,880 Willis, remove the Desert Storm commendation. 438 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:42,800 Sir. 439 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,800 What's this about? 440 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,080 Take him into custody, Jim. 441 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:45,980 Come on, sir. 442 00:22:45,980 --> 00:22:47,160 Come on. 443 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,080 I'll call you. 444 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,360 I'll call you. 445 00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:52,320 Billy Ray called me January the 28th 446 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,200 and told me, Dad, I think I'm going to get out of the military. 447 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:55,920 I've had all of it. 448 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,960 I can stand. 449 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,160 And he said, I'll probably be home by June. 450 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,840 Billy Ray's court martial was not his only problem. 451 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,400 In particular, his marriage to Kim had begun to fall apart. 452 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:15,160 And Billy Ray began making plans to divorce her. 453 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,560 I had visited their house, and they were fighting a lot. 454 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,080 And there was a lot of jealousy. 455 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,960 She was constantly accusing him of having a girlfriend 456 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,440 and having a child somewhere that she didn't know anything about. 457 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,840 And it wasn't true at all. 458 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,640 Well, I don't think they're going to kick me out. 459 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,840 I may lose some rank, but I'm going to re-up. 460 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,080 I think it's the right call, man. 461 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,080 I've been telling you that. 462 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:38,760 Yeah, right. 463 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,760 Another eight months passed. 464 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,400 According to Billy Ray's family, the controversy 465 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,560 surrounding the forged documents began to subside. 466 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,240 And Billy Ray told his best friend, Mike Carmichael, 467 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,400 that he had reenlisted. 468 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,040 Hey, Hargrove! 469 00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:01,200 February 20, 1992, the day of Billy Ray Hargrove's death. 470 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,920 Billy Ray had missed his summons to report to duty. 471 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,800 And at 9 20 AM, one of his fellow sergeants 472 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,560 showed up at his doorstep. 473 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:09,880 Hey, Billy. 474 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:10,800 Where have you been? 475 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:11,920 I was just having breakfast. 476 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,680 How'd you not hear the siren? 477 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,400 No, we having a drill? 478 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,720 Yeah, and the captain's going ballistic. 479 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,360 But he is. 480 00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:20,480 Tell him I'm on my way. 481 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,280 OK, good deal. 482 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,680 See you later. 483 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,160 Inexplicably, Billy Ray never reported for duty. 484 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,600 Instead, he took his dog for a walk. 485 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,560 20 minutes later, Kim heard the dog barking. 486 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:39,960 What's wrong with you, huh? 487 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:40,960 Where's Bill? 488 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:41,760 Huh? 489 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:42,760 Where's Bill? 490 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:43,760 Bill! 491 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:44,660 Bill! 492 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,640 Kim found Billy Ray hanging by the neck 493 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:52,560 from a nearby tree. 494 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:53,460 Bill! 495 00:24:53,460 --> 00:24:55,880 What are you doing? 496 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,760 An alleged suicide note was found in Billy Ray's pants 497 00:24:58,760 --> 00:24:59,960 pocket. 498 00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:03,880 It read, in part, my life is really screwed up now. 499 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,520 And I just don't know how to fix it. 500 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,640 I've been thinking a lot about taking my life 501 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,520 for a long time now. 502 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,760 Goodbye, signed William R. Hargrove. 503 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,920 However, Billy Ray's mother questions 504 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,520 whether he wrote the note. 505 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,560 I looked at the writing, and I did not believe it was his writing. 506 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,000 It did not look to me like his writing. 507 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,720 The army acknowledges a possibility 508 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,360 that the suicide note might not have been in Billy Ray's 509 00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:34,720 handwriting. 510 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,640 Even so, they ruled that he had killed himself, 511 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,160 speculating that he had been driven to suicide 512 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,040 by his upcoming court martial and divorce. 513 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,560 He was not the type person to commit suicide, 514 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,680 no matter what. 515 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,360 Especially putting a rope around his neck. 516 00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:55,160 I just could not believe it. 517 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,280 And I still don't believe it. 518 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,600 Something happened to him, but he did not commit suicide. 519 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,600 The autopsy report yielded another piece 520 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,160 of mysterious evidence that seemed to bolster 521 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,120 Sue Nunnelly's claim. 522 00:26:10,120 --> 00:26:13,640 Billy Ray had unexplained abrasions and lacerations 523 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,240 on his face and hands. 524 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,880 That would indicate to me that someone 525 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,680 had been in a scrape or a fight. 526 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:28,080 But the military in their report didn't question anyone 527 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:32,200 or ask where the scratches come from. 528 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,480 They just ignored them. 529 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:41,120 Billy Ray Hargrove was laid to rest on March 4, 1992. 530 00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:42,960 One of the mourners at his funeral 531 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,160 was his old friend, Mike Carmichael. 532 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,720 When I found it didn't make Mike, 533 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:54,080 it was at Billy's funeral when he brought Billy's body back home. 534 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,760 And he told me, he said, our said, we'll give him hell. 535 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,960 We're going to make him pay the SOBs' 536 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,120 pay for what they've done. 537 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,360 After the service, Mike returned to the Hargrove's house 538 00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:12,080 with Billy Ray's family. 539 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,320 He looked at me, and he promised, 540 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,120 and he told me that if it was the last thing he ever did, 541 00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:20,280 he was going to find out what happened to Billy Ray. 542 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,760 Just don't do anything until you hear from me. 543 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:22,520 OK. 544 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,160 Bye. 545 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,240 Mike Carmichael's uncle Oscar served 546 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,440 in the Marines for 20 years. 547 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,440 He is now suffering from emphysema 548 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:32,920 and told us that Mike believed there 549 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,040 was a larger conspiracy involved. 550 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,400 And there had been three other army personnel 551 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:45,960 there in Correa that had supposedly committed suicide. 552 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,240 And my nephew told his birth mother, 553 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,640 says, don't be surprised if I'm not next. 554 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,560 On March 22, 1992, Mike Carmichael returned to Korea 555 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,840 and immediately began his own investigation. 556 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,240 He and his wife, Son Hee, visited Billy Ray's widow, Kim, 557 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,440 and collected Billy Ray's personal papers. 558 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,280 Included was a letter Billy Ray had written to his father 559 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,280 a few days before the hanging. 560 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:18,200 And Harvey Hargrove says he never received the correspondence. 561 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:23,480 He was supposed to have written me a letter sometimes 562 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:24,520 in February. 563 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,160 I don't know when, but he was supposed to have written me 564 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,040 a letter. 565 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,720 And I'm sure if I could find that letter, 566 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,040 it would explain everything. 567 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,480 Mike continued collecting Billy Ray's papers 568 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,840 and stored them with his own papers in a metal box. 569 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,520 Mike instructed his uncle Oscar that if anything 570 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,960 were to happen to him, Oscar should immediately 571 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,000 obtain possession of the box. 572 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,200 But Mike never revealed his contents. 573 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:58,240 April 3, 1992, Mike Carmichael's 38th birthday. 574 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,400 At 10 PM, he received an unexpected phone call, 575 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,800 ordering him back to the base. 576 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,880 By the next morning, Mike had still not returned home. 577 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,200 On Sunday morning, I called the army base 578 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,360 to find out where my husband was. 579 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,200 I talked to a security guard. 580 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,160 I was told that he did not see my husband. 581 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,200 So I asked him to try to knock on the door of his barracks room. 582 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,680 He said that there was no response and the door was locked. 583 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:34,560 An hour later, son he found her husband's body in his barracks 584 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:35,440 office. 585 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,120 He was hanging from a locker and had been dead for several hours. 586 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,720 The army investigation was completed within a few days. 587 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,760 They concluded that Mike Carmichael had taken his own life 588 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,400 because he was despondent over financial matters 589 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,360 and Billy Ray's death. 590 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,760 Mike's wife has accepted the ruling. 591 00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:00,480 However, his mother and uncle Oscar have not. 592 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,720 I think he was angry. 593 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:11,080 And I think he was going to direct his anger towards finding 594 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:16,400 out the reason why or who caused his friend or killed 595 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,280 his friend. 596 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,480 He was happier than I had seen him in a long time. 597 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,000 Due to the fact that him and son E had just 598 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,200 gotten married in July, they were just like a couple 599 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,160 of overgrown kids, really. 600 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:32,120 And he had dad. 601 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,320 He had his retirement to look forward to. 602 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,480 There was no way that Mike would take his life 603 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,800 and take the chicken way out. 604 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,120 Oscar Carmichael soon joined forces with the Hargrove family. 605 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,080 They launched a letter writing campaign 606 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,360 asking for the official reports from the military. 607 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,920 Unsatisfied with the army's response, 608 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:01,880 they contacted the office of US Congressman Jay Dickey. 609 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,160 Greg Stein is Congressman Dickey's legislative assistant 610 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,480 who was assigned to the case. 611 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:11,960 But even the reports that I could get were lacking in the photos 612 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:12,760 of the crime scene. 613 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,840 Other things were withheld or whited out for certain reasons. 614 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,320 And after looking at it, I don't think 615 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,880 that they took into account all the different aspects 616 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,440 of the case. 617 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,800 And they maybe kind of just closed the door 618 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,040 without a thorough investigation. 619 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:31,960 I think the signs are there that there is a cover-up 620 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:32,640 of some sort. 621 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,680 And I don't want to accuse anybody at this time of that. 622 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,720 But the reason why there would be a cover-up, I don't know. 623 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,800 That's one of the things we want to find out. 624 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,520 But I happen to think that if we open this thing up, 625 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:46,920 that we will find an answer. 626 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,040 I want you made to clear out, but stay close. 627 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,440 I may want to ask you some questions. 628 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:54,480 Move it. 629 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,480 The two families are especially disturbed 630 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,200 by the eerie and suspicious similarities in the deaths. 631 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,720 Both Billy Ray and Mike had been summoned to the army barracks. 632 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,280 Both men were found hanging just inches from the ground. 633 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,520 And both had been tied with parachute cord, 634 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,160 which is highly elastic. 635 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,200 This is the official crime scene sketch 636 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,960 from the US military investigation. 637 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,360 Mike Carmichael's body was shown hanging 638 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:25,080 from a row of lockers, a cord wrapped around his neck. 639 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,200 The question marks that come up about Sergeant Carmichael 640 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,840 start with the fact that he's in a sitting position, some 641 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:37,600 three inches from the floor with his body dangling like that. 642 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,240 Even the natural instincts of a person 643 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,280 would have your hands falling down or pushing against it. 644 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,200 There's not any way that our self-preservation rights 645 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,680 are such that we'll do something like that. 646 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,120 Also noted in the drawing was a metal box 647 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,280 that contained Mike and Billy Ray's personal papers. 648 00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:00,000 It was sitting on a desk across a room from Mike's body. 649 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,520 Curiously, the box of letters would later disappear, 650 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,560 and no one knows what happened to it. 651 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,160 Mike Carmichael's family learned of yet another disturbing 652 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,880 similarity between the two cases. 653 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,080 Just as Billy Ray had abrasions on his face and hands, 654 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,400 Sergeant Carmichael had welts on his face 655 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,240 and would appear to be a gash on his forehead. 656 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,120 His uncle Oscar is convinced that Mike was struck 657 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,600 before he died. 658 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,320 You take a pipe and it'll be about an inch or 5 eighths 659 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,760 inch and hit him over the head with it. 660 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:37,240 That's the kind of valley that you'd find or crevice, 661 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,760 however way you want to describe it. 662 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,200 So that's why I say that my nephew, in my opinion, 663 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,040 was dead before he was placed in that position. 664 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:53,800 I believe in Billy Ray's case and in Mike's case, too, 665 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:58,960 that something had to be going on that wasn't right, 666 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,960 something that they found out about or knew about 667 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:08,040 or maybe was going to expose, and they were gotten rid of. 668 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:34,720 When we return, the intriguing disappearance of Charles Horvath, 669 00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:37,760 did the young hitchhiker choose to drop from sight 670 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,520 or did he meet with foul play? 671 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,880 Imagine your 20-year-old son is traveling in a foreign land. 672 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,680 Suddenly his phone calls and postcards stop, weeks pass 673 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,520 with no news, and you begin to fear your child 674 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,560 will never come home. 675 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,120 This is exactly what happened to Denise Horvath Allen. 676 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,640 In 1989, her son Charles disappeared in Canada, 677 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,600 halfway around the world from their home in England. 678 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,960 Ever since, Denise has been trying to find out exactly 679 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,120 what happened to her son. 680 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,520 In the spring of 1989, Charles Horvath 681 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,840 was in the midst of a hitchhiking trip across Canada. 682 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,120 In August, he planned to fly to Hong Kong 683 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,400 to celebrate his 21st birthday with his mother Denise 684 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,600 and his stepfather. 685 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,200 The birthday festivities promised to be a high point 686 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,080 in what had always been a close relationship. 687 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,960 Denise was just 19 when Charles was born, 688 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,360 20 when she divorced his father. 689 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,840 In some respects, mother and son had grown up together. 690 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,960 But before Denise could make final arrangements 691 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,280 for the trip, Charles disappeared. 692 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,640 I telephoned the RCMP, repeatedly begging them 693 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,480 to look for Charles because I was so concerned something 694 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:01,800 was wrong. 695 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,040 I then asked them if they could give me 696 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,800 the name of local newspapers to enable me 697 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:10,000 to place an ad as we'd started planning my trip 698 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,360 to come and search for my child myself. 699 00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:16,360 Kelowna, British Columbia. 700 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,480 For thousands of vacationers each year, 701 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,160 it is a favorite spot. 702 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,840 But for Denise Allen, it had the somber distinction 703 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,320 of being the last place on Earth her son was 704 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,120 known to have been alive. 705 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,920 It was from here that Charles faxed his final letter 706 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,560 on May 11, 1989. 707 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,520 And it was here that Denise searched for clues 708 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,160 to her son's fate during two extended trips 709 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,680 between 1990 and 1992. 710 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,840 During the first trip, Denise blanketed the town with flyers. 711 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,680 She soon heard from a woman named Joanne Zebron, 712 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:55,320 who had met Charles during his stay in Kelowna. 713 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,240 When I first met Charles, it was of this charming, good-looking 714 00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:05,320 guy who was obviously new to Canada. 715 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,760 And I really liked him. 716 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,240 I thought, oh, here's a unique person. 717 00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:11,280 That's my mom. 718 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,120 She's gorgeous. 719 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,040 He loved his family. 720 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,440 He showed me pictures. 721 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,720 He was so proud of all these photographs of his mother. 722 00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:22,360 They were very close. 723 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,000 It was obvious they were close. 724 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,080 The last time Charles dropped by the apartment, 725 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,640 Joanne shared with her mother. 726 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,280 He arrived uninvited. 727 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:32,800 Hello. 728 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,600 Is it Joanne? 729 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:35,680 Yes, it is. 730 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,040 At the time, Joanne's brother was in town 731 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,880 for a special family reunion. 732 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,760 And the Zebros politely refused Charles' request 733 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,680 to come up and visit. 734 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:48,240 Actually, it isn't a very good time right now. 735 00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:50,000 There was this momentary silence. 736 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,200 And what stays in our mind, fresh forever, is how he went. 737 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,640 But it's Charles. 738 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,240 And like, of course, you're going to let me up. 739 00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:00,560 And we just couldn't. 740 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,520 We're having a family dinner. 741 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:03,320 I'm sorry. 742 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,200 Joanne told Denise at the brief chat 743 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,760 was her last contact with Charles. 744 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,280 To Joanne's best recollection, the episode 745 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:21,160 had taken place in May of 1989, the same month 746 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,080 Denise had last heard from Charles. 747 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,200 You keep telling me that you were afraid for his safety. 748 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:31,000 Why? 749 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,680 And began streaming in. 750 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,280 Denise soon learned that while he was in Kelowna, 751 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,640 Charles had stated a campground located 752 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:38,800 in a rough part of town. 753 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:39,760 What else was there? 754 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,080 Can you remember anybody else? 755 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,080 In spite of the campground's unsavory reputation, 756 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,960 Denise knew that she had no choice but to go there 757 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,080 and investigate. 758 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,640 I wanted to go over to the campsite to inquire, 759 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,080 but I was very apprehensive of going. 760 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,840 Um, eventually I over the courage and went to Goss 761 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,840 to see them to see if they remembered Charles. 762 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,680 Excuse me. 763 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:18,000 I'm looking for my lost son, Charles Horvath. 764 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,040 He disappeared a year ago in Kelowna. 765 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,560 I wonder if you remember him staying here. 766 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,000 Yeah, I remember him. 767 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,120 The campground manager said that Charles left 768 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,080 to Broughley in May of 1989, abandoning 769 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,440 his tent and all his possessions. 770 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,320 Most had been disposed of, but the few that remained 771 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:40,320 were close at hand. 772 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:45,280 I was just numb. 773 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,560 I went down to the police station 774 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,360 and I was told that they were going to inform 775 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,600 Interpol to get his dental records. 776 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,720 And the file was being passed on to homicide. 777 00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:01,600 I was also told that they believed my son to be dead, 778 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,960 that women never find his body or what happened to him. 779 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,680 It's very unfortunate that a comment like that would be made. 780 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,840 And I would have to say that that would be that member's 781 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,360 personal opinion and certainly not 782 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,920 the view of the police force. 783 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,240 I don't know upon what he based that other than the fact 784 00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:20,520 items were left at the campsite. 785 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:25,320 And in my opinion, that does not substantiate that. 786 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:30,520 But on March 17, 1992, the case took a sudden ominous turn. 787 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,480 Denise came back to her hotel room 788 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,640 to find an unsigned letter scrawled in a rough hand. 789 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,520 I seen your ad in the paper, looking for your son. 790 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,600 I seen him May 26. 791 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,440 We were partying and two people knocked him out. 792 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:52,880 But he died. 793 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,400 His body's in the lake by the bridge. 794 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,200 Lake Okanagan, just outside of Kelowna, 795 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,040 is one of the deepest lakes in the world. 796 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,400 Local divers immediately volunteered 797 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,440 to look for the body of Charles Horvath. 798 00:41:17,240 --> 00:41:19,800 For five days, a search yielded nothing. 799 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,000 But the mysterious informant was apparently 800 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,480 watching the divers every move. 801 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,560 Denise received a second note, saying 802 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,680 they were looking on the wrong side of the bridge. 803 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,000 We're stopping every 10, 15 feet. 804 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,920 Equipped with a submersible camera, 805 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,040 the divers began to search at the new location. 806 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,480 One day later, they told police that they had found a body. 807 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:48,680 The fear in the young officer's eyes 808 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,920 told me that he thought it was Charles. 809 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,840 The total panic on their faces. 810 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,840 I was hysterical and the bathroom crying. 811 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:04,040 I assume it's quite normal of any parent. 812 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,720 I just couldn't believe that he was dead. 813 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,520 Even before authorities had identified the corpse, 814 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,640 local papers were trumpeting the news 815 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,720 that the body was that of Charles Horvath. 816 00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:19,960 The coroner came to see me at the motel. 817 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:24,960 I asked him if it was Charles. 818 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:30,960 Was it, no, I asked him if it was good news or bad. 819 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,440 And he said it wasn't Charles. 820 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,520 The dead man was later identified as a 64-year-old 821 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,680 Kelowna resident, a probable suicide. 822 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,840 Police now believe that the anonymous notes were hoaxes 823 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,560 and the discovery of a body just a coincidence. 824 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,760 Once again, it seemed that Charles must be alive. 825 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,520 Then a man named Gino Borden came forward, 826 00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:00,040 claiming to have seen Charles just before he disappeared. 827 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,920 Gino and his son had pitched their tent near Charles 828 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:04,440 while he was at the campground. 829 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:11,920 He was in the campground. 830 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,200 He was a nice guy. 831 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:15,000 He was a good friend. 832 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,480 He used to always come over to our camp, 833 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,320 little camp, and have coffee in the morning, 834 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,680 and play frisbee and catch with my son, 835 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,080 and just sit and chat with us. 836 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:28,480 What should I do with him? 837 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,200 Should take him to Hong Kong with you. 838 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:30,720 That's it. 839 00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:32,120 Pack him in my suitcase. 840 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:32,840 There you go. 841 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,000 Here's some coffee, some sugar in that, and a table. 842 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,360 He was a friendly guy, a real friendly guy, 843 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,400 probably too friendly. 844 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,760 He seemed, I don't know, naive. 845 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,280 I'm not there about, like, he wasn't. 846 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,720 He talked to anybody, he'd make friends with anybody. 847 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,480 Gino's recollections added details to the campground 848 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,160 manager's account. 849 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,080 Gino had last seen Charles during a raucous all night 850 00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,920 party at the campground. 851 00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:03,560 The next morning, Gino had awakened to find Charles gone 852 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,040 and his things left behind. 853 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:10,480 When I first established that Charles had abandoned his 854 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:14,960 belongings at the campsite, it was assumed that something 855 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,440 terrible had happened to him, which caused him to leave 856 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:18,480 his belongings with us. 857 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,960 It was so unlike him to have left his photographs behind, 858 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,760 which were very important to him. 859 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,920 Gino's story seemed to confirm the theory 860 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,360 that Charles had met with foul play. 861 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,520 But continued investigation revealed 862 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,560 that Charles was very much alive long after he left 863 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,440 the campground. 864 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:39,920 Hello. 865 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:40,640 Is it Joanne? 866 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,440 Charles supposedly called a Joanne Zebroff's apartment 867 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,640 in May of 1989. 868 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,640 But police later discovered that Joanne was mistaken. 869 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,120 Charles had actually come by in July, two full months 870 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,120 after he had last contacted his mother. 871 00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,560 This revelation has led some to conclude 872 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,600 that for unknown personal reasons, 873 00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,480 Charles intentionally severed contact with his family. 874 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,440 During our investigation, we contacted two of Charles' relatives 875 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,400 back in Eastern Canada. 876 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,800 They related to us that during his time there with them, 877 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,680 he did advise both relatives that it was his intention, 878 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,640 when discussing his family situation, 879 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,280 to disappear off the face of the earth 880 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,400 and that his mother would never find him 881 00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,840 and that he wanted to carry on with his own life. 882 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,880 It is totally out of character for him to have gone out intentionally 883 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,720 to break away from his family 884 00:45:39,720 --> 00:45:41,560 because he wasn't that kind of boy. 885 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:48,920 He may have tried to imply to people who he wanted to impress 886 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,160 that he didn't need his mum, what, 20-year-old 887 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,600 that does need the mum or would admit to needing them. 888 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:55,880 It's not very macho. 889 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,120 Four years have passed without word from Charles Horvath, 890 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,680 but police have received tips from nearly 200 people. 891 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,520 Some claim to have seen Charles hitchhiking in Canada 892 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,520 as recently as April of 1992. 893 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,080 Others are equally certain that Charles Horvath 894 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,480 never made it out of Kelowna alive. 895 00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,200 If Charles is out there in this world, 896 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,480 you know, in a goddess somewhere, 897 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,560 he needs picking up and bringing home 898 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,800 and getting medical help or whatever kind of help is required. 899 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:39,560 If not, if he is dead and he's been murdered, he needs burying. 900 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:47,360 I've been asking for help for so many years 901 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,560 because of my fear that something's happened to him 902 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:56,760 and it'll only be if he's found dead 903 00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,040 that I'll be proven right. 904 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,040 What a way to be proven right. 905 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,880 Charles Horvath would now be 25 years old. 906 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,480 He is six feet tall with dark brown hair, 907 00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:14,040 dark brown eyes and a tattoo on his left arm. 908 00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,440 When last seen, Charles weighed 165 pounds. 909 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,560 On our next Unsolved Mysteries, 910 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:34,440 when a 17-year-old girl disappeared in 1974, 911 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,880 her family became convinced that she had been abducted 912 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,160 by members of a renegade motorcycle gang. 913 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,640 The girl's mother soon embarked on a dark journey 914 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,800 into the biker subculture. 915 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,000 Nearly 20 years later, she believes 916 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,800 her daughter is still alive, still perhaps 917 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,440 being held against her will. 918 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,440 Join me next time for an all-new show, 919 00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:00,480 Perhaps You May Be Able to Solve a Mystery.
