1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,680 This program is about unsolved mysteries. 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,280 Whenever possible, the actual family members and police 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,280 officials have participated in recreating the events. 4 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,280 What you are about to see is not a news broadcast. 5 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,920 Tonight, an intriguing look at a little-known phenomenon, 6 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,720 the mysterious link between adoptees and their birth 7 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,320 families. 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,560 Many believe that even after years of searching, 9 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,760 they are connected by remarkable psychic time, 10 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,840 and cannot be explained by coincidence or science. 11 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,000 In Rhode Island, a wild car chase 12 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,640 ended in the stabbing death of 20-year-old Jason Bass. 13 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,640 His attacker, Adam Emory, was convicted of murder 14 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,840 and then released on bail pending sentencing. 15 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,680 Hours later, Emory's car was found abandoned 16 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,080 on the Newport Bridge, beating many to believe 17 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,280 that Emory and his wife had been killed. 18 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,040 But reliable sources believe that Adam Emory 19 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,840 may still be alive. 20 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,680 When 38-year-old Latricia White was murdered, 21 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,480 the police and her family began to suspect her boyfriend, 22 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,160 Dub Walker-Hunt, who had mysteriously dropped from sight. 23 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,920 More than a year later, he is still missing. 24 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,160 But is Dub a cold-blooded killer, 25 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,960 or was he a victim of violence himself? 26 00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:20,360 Join me for these intriguing new cases 27 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,840 of the crime of murder. 28 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,160 Join me for these intriguing new cases and much more. 29 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,520 Perhaps you may be able to help solve a mystery. 30 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:28,200 A joyous reunion between a mother and her long-lost daughter. 31 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,240 Brothers and sisters who grew up apart 32 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,840 meet for the first time as adults. 33 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,240 Remarkable moments like these have been captured 34 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,080 by our cameras dozens of times. 35 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,520 Imagine meeting your child or a sibling 36 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,120 in reality a complete stranger after years 37 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,320 of wondering what he or she is like. 38 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,920 We have learned that in many cases, 39 00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:53,280 reunited family members have a surprising amount in common, 40 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,120 more than can be explained by genetics 41 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,160 or simple coincidence. 42 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,960 We decided to take a closer look at this mysterious connection, 43 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,600 this bond that seemed to defy scientific explanation. 44 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,960 Don Larkin grew up knowing he had been adopted, 45 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,480 but he was 44 years old before he finally 46 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,760 located his son in the hospital. 47 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,920 He was 44 years old before he finally 48 00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:21,600 located his birth mother, Betty Landers. 49 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,880 Even before Don met Betty, he knew 50 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,640 they would have much in common. 51 00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:29,160 As he approached her house for the first time, 52 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,680 Don noticed an unusual display of knickknacks 53 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,840 hanging in the window, a carved hummingbird, 54 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,880 and next to it, a crystal prism. 55 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,080 Don had only seen these items together in one other place, 56 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,840 his own front window. 57 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,160 It really startled me to see somebody else having 58 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,920 something like that in the window of their house. 59 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,840 And I just thought, well, she must be a pretty neat lady, 60 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,200 because you picked the same stuff I did. 61 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,960 Coincidences that are very rare, such as Betty and Don's, 62 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,840 both having hummingbirds and crystals in their front windows 63 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,640 of their houses, are almost impossible to explain 64 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,160 by the traditional cause-effect genetic relationship. 65 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,800 That's a very good example of one 66 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,720 that is probably due to some unknown spiritual, 67 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,840 psychic connection. 68 00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:24,240 Many believe that the same eerie bond exists 69 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,120 between separated siblings. 70 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,760 Lorelai Smith, who everyone call Lori, 71 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,720 was the only daughter of her adoptive parents. 72 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,640 Yet even as a four-year-old, she sensed that somewhere 73 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,920 she had a sister. 74 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,760 Who's that? 75 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,400 Me and my sister. 76 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,680 But you don't have a sister. 77 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,720 I was so firm about it, one of the teachers 78 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:54,520 felt necessary to contact my parents. 79 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,480 I was told at the time not to continue 80 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,680 with this illusion or fantasy, but I apparently still 81 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,040 kept insisting I had a sister. 82 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,120 At that time in 1959, Lorelai did indeed 83 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,280 have a sister, Lori, then one and a half years old, 84 00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:14,160 and we were living in Alaska. 85 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,360 Lorelai was in New Mexico. 86 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,720 As children, Lori Smith and her sister Lori Stiffler 87 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,440 had much more in common than just their first names. 88 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,320 Both owned horses and both played 89 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,080 the same musical instruments, the flute and the guitar. 90 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,240 Surprisingly, they had each learned sign language, 91 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,000 though neither one knew a single deaf person. 92 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,480 I believe that the most common explanation 93 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,960 for these coincidences is probably genetic. 94 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,680 But there are coincidences that the genetic attachment, 95 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,360 the genetic cause, simply can't explain. 96 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,720 And then I think we have to look to a spiritual, 97 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,080 a telepathic, a psychokinetic type of explanation. 98 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,080 Difficult as that may be to do. 99 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,840 Elizabeth Bersonetti's story is a case in point. 100 00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:08,360 She grew up with her adoptive family in Southern California. 101 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,720 For as long as she can remember, Elizabeth 102 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,800 was drawn to anything and everything French. 103 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,720 Library in Bibliothèque. 104 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,880 I always had a fascination with languages, 105 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,560 and the first one I wanted to speak was French. 106 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,600 I was just obsessed with the language. 107 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,120 It was so foreign to me. 108 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,160 I wanted to be different. 109 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,000 I wanted to be those people that I saw in the films, 110 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,400 the Parisians walking along, the students studying at the Sorbonne. 111 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,760 I wanted that identity. 112 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,240 I wanted to be French. 113 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,920 In 1985, Elizabeth formally requested a reunion 114 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,160 with her birth mother through the agency that 115 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,280 had handled her adoption. 116 00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:53,320 However, both Elizabeth's birth mother and adoptive mother 117 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,120 were required to give their consent. 118 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,560 Afraid to hurt her adoptive mother's feelings, 119 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,040 Elizabeth postponed the search. 120 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,880 Five years passed. 121 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,240 In January of 1990, Elizabeth married a young man 122 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,040 she met while traveling in Italy. 123 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,920 Elizabeth says that one month later, 124 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,800 she began to have a series of recurring dreams. 125 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,800 A shadowy woman always appeared, and Elizabeth 126 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,640 soon came to believe the woman was her birth mother. 127 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,080 My mother was being told that she didn't have very long to live, 128 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,960 that she had cancer, and that it was going to progress 129 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,320 at a very rapid rate. 130 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,960 You can't give up hope. 131 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,200 There was a lot of sadness, I felt, from the dream. 132 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,200 She was obviously very gravely ill. 133 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,200 And to me, that said that she was dying. 134 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,200 When Elizabeth woke up, she was really upset about it, 135 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,200 and, you know, of course, I said, you know, it's impossible. 136 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,200 Just over-worried about it. 137 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,200 You have to worry. 138 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,200 It's not going to be anything. 139 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,200 But then she had the same dream again the following days, 140 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,200 and she actually once woke up crying about it. 141 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:15,200 In late August, I woke up with almost the fact 142 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,200 that my mother was dead. 143 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,200 I was never going to meet her. 144 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,200 It was over. 145 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,200 I was never going to see her. 146 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,200 I was too late. 147 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,200 It was on me that whole day, and all the days after that, 148 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,200 that I had missed her. 149 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,200 Soon after that disturbing dream, 150 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,200 Elizabeth returned to the adoption agency. 151 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,200 This time, she had her adoptive mother's 152 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,200 sign consent in hand. 153 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,200 I guess all the waivers are in. 154 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,200 All the waivers are in. 155 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,200 You mean you have my birth mothers as well? 156 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,200 Oh, yes. 157 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,200 Since May of 85. 158 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,200 Elizabeth was stunned by the timing. 159 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,200 Her birth mother had asked for a reunion just days 160 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,200 after Elizabeth's own marriage. 161 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,200 Elizabeth's own initial request. 162 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,200 Nicole Rolande, and she's French-Canadian. 163 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,200 Hello? 164 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,200 Bonjour. 165 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,200 I'm looking for Nicole Rolande, please. 166 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,200 Who is this? 167 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,200 I'm an old friend of hers from Los Angeles. 168 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,200 I'm afraid I have bad news for you. 169 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,200 Nicole has passed away. 170 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,200 When? 171 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,200 Last August? 172 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,200 It was devastating. 173 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,200 And I said, did she die on August 28th? 174 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,200 And she said yes, and she just broke into tears 175 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,200 and said, how would you know that? 176 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,200 All I could think of was that my dreams were true, 177 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,200 that I had had this strange connection to her. 178 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,200 I had known when she was sick, 179 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,200 and I had known when she died. 180 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,200 Incredibly, Nicole Rolande had lived the life 181 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,200 Elizabeth once dreamed of for herself. 182 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,200 Nicole had been a professor of French, 183 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,200 spending two years among the Parisians, 184 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,200 studying at the Sorbonne. 185 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,200 It seems that me and my birth mother had a lot in common 186 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,200 and would have had a lot in common, 187 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,200 had been able to know each other. 188 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,200 It appears that we were living at times a parallel life, 189 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,200 doing the same things, being in the same places, 190 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,200 and interested in the same subjects. 191 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,200 Although Elizabeth was never able to meet Nicole, 192 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,200 she did discover a whole new family. 193 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,200 Elizabeth flew
