--> 00:07:04,140 in California real estate was enough to spring Ramirez 128 00:07:04,140 --> 00:07:05,820 from jail. 129 00:07:05,820 --> 00:07:08,740 In June of 1990, shortly before a court date, 130 00:07:08,740 --> 00:07:11,620 the couple packed up their children and dropped from sight. 131 00:07:11,620 --> 00:07:13,700 They are still in the run, but the damage 132 00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:16,980

severed the nerves in my left arm 136 00:07:23,980 --> 00:07:28,020 and left me with no feeling, although I have a muscle, 137 00:07:28,020 --> 00:07:30,500 strengthened muscle flexibility in the arm. 138 00:07:30,500 --> 00:07:31,740 I just don't have any feeling in it. 139 00:07:36,780 --> 00:07:42,580 I remember muzzle flashes, and then my next memory 140 00:07:42,580 --> 00:07:44,340 art felt like I had been punched in the stomach 141 00:07:44,340 --> 00:07:45,820 or hit with a baseball bat in the stomach. 142 00:07:49,140 --> 00:07:51,700 I can't pronounce most of the things that it damaged, 143 00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:54,620 but it was most of the internal organs in my abdomen. 144 00:07:54,620 --> 00:07:57,860 The bullet went completely through most of the intestines 145 00:07:57,860 --> 00:08:00,380 and the kidney and liver and lodged. 146 00:08:00,380 --> 00:08:04,740 It stopped on the opposite side of my body, just under the skin 147 00:08:05,340 --> 00:08:06,860 in my back. 148 00:08:06,860 --> 00:08:09,380 I'm always going to have the scars and the pain 149 00:08:09,380 --> 00:08:13,460 and all from it, but it would give me some satisfaction 150 00:08:13,460 --> 00:08:15,860 if he was caught and was in jail serving his time 151 00:08:15,860 --> 00:08:16,900 in pain for what he's done. 152 00:08:20,180 --> 00:08:22,860 Roberto Ramirez is 38 years old. 153 00:08:22,860 --> 00:08:26,420 He is a heavy set 5'6", 210 pounds. 154 00:08:26,420 --> 00:08:28,940 He should be considered armed and dangerous. 155 00:08:34,740 --> 00:08:38,020 The Last Friday, the lines at the phone center 156 00:08:38,020 --> 00:08:40,220 were swamped with calls from our viewers. 157 00:08:40,220 --> 00:08:44,020 Let's quickly go to Keely Shay Smith to see what happened. 158 00:08:44,020 --> 00:08:46,420 For the past two weeks, the nation's attention 159 00:08:46,420 --> 00:08:49,540 has been focused on the tragic murder of 27-year-old Linda 160 00:08:49,540 --> 00:08:50,740 Sobek. 161 00:08:50,740 --> 00:08:54,220 Sobek's body was found here in a shallow grave at this spot 162 00:08:54,220 --> 00:08:57,460 in the Angeles National Forest outside La Liga. 163 00:08:57,460 --> 00:09:01,420 Sobek's body was found here in a shallow grave at this spot 164 00:09:01,420 --> 00:09:04,340 in the Angeles National Forest outside La Liga. 165 00:09:04,940 --> 00:09:07,100 Sheriff detectives now fear her murder 166 00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:09,300 may be connected to an unsolved homicide 167 00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:11,980 we profiled on an earlier broadcast. 168 00:09:11,980 --> 00:09:13,900 The remains of the victim in that case 169 00:09:13,900 --> 00:09:16,100 were also found in this area. 170 00:09:18,740 --> 00:09:20,740 Linda Sobek was a successful model 171 00:09:20,740 --> 00:09:23,180 and former Los Angeles Raiders cheerleader, 172 00:09:23,180 --> 00:09:25,380 whose disappearance on November 16th 173 00:09:25,380 --> 00:09:27,940 left her family and friends frantic. 174 00:09:29,980 --> 00:09:32,420 This man, photographer Charles Rathbin, 175 00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:35,660 has claimed that Linda Sobek died in a freak car accident 176 00:09:35,660 --> 00:09:37,340 during a photo shoot. 177 00:09:37,340 --> 00:09:38,660 Then in a state of panic, 178 00:09:38,660 --> 00:09:41,860 he buried her in the Angeles National Forest. 179 00:09:42,860 --> 00:09:45,260 Days later, with the help of Rathbin, 180 00:09:45,260 --> 00:09:47,500 Linda Sobek's body was recovered. 181 00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:49,500 But initial reports from the coroner's office 182 00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:51,660 seem to indicate that Linda's injuries 183 00:09:51,660 --> 00:09:54,260 were not consistent with being hit by a car. 184 00:09:55,540 --> 00:09:58,780 Charles Rathbin has been charged with first-degree murder 185 00:09:58,780 --> 00:10:00,900 and is being held on $1 million dollars 186 00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:02,300 bail. 187 00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:03,340 According to the authorities, 188 00:10:03,340 --> 00:10:06,340 he is now a suspect in the death of another model, 189 00:10:06,340 --> 00:10:09,900 Kimberly Pandelios, whose story we aired last year. 190 00:10:11,900 --> 00:10:16,900 March 3rd, 1993, again in the Angeles National Forest. 191 00:10:18,140 --> 00:10:20,900 The LA County Coroner was called to investigate 192 00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:22,580 a possible murder site. 193 00:10:22,580 --> 00:10:25,740 A partial set of skeletal remains had been discovered. 194 00:10:26,740 --> 00:10:28,340 When the coroner checked dental records 195 00:10:28,340 --> 00:10:30,740 of missing persons in the Los Angeles District, 196 00:10:31,580 --> 00:10:33,500 he found a match. 197 00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:36,460 The remains were identified as those of 20-year-old 198 00:10:36,460 --> 00:10:39,300 Kimberly Pandelios, a model and actress 199 00:10:39,300 --> 00:10:41,980 who had disappeared a year before. 200 00:10:41,980 --> 00:10:44,860 Kimberly was married and had a 14-month-old son. 201 00:10:47,420 --> 00:10:51,620 On February 27th, 1992, Kimberly had told her husband 202 00:10:51,620 --> 00:10:54,380 that she was scheduled to do an outdoor photo shoot. 203 00:10:54,380 --> 00:10:57,780 Authorities believe she responded to an ad in a local paper. 204 00:11:00,740 --> 00:11:03,060 The next day, her burned-out car was found 205 00:11:03,060 --> 00:11:05,020 near the Monte Cristo campground section 206 00:11:05,020 --> 00:11:07,660 of the Angeles National Forest. 207 00:11:07,660 --> 00:11:11,540 A search of the immediate area turned up no clues. 208 00:11:11,540 --> 00:11:13,980 Another year would pass before Kimberly's remains 209 00:11:13,980 --> 00:11:16,340 were found a few miles from the spot 210 00:11:16,340 --> 00:11:18,340 where Linda Sobek was buried. 211 00:11:20,020 --> 00:11:21,740 We do have some similarities between the death 212 00:11:21,740 --> 00:11:25,500 of Kimberly Pandelios and Linda Sobek. 213 00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:27,780 We also have a person who has come forward 214 00:11:27,780 --> 00:11:30,820 and indicated that they saw Kimberly Pandelios 215 00:11:30,820 --> 00:11:33,180 in the company of Charles Rathburn 216 00:11:33,180 --> 00:11:36,620 inside a Denny's restaurant shortly before her murder. 217 00:11:38,380 --> 00:11:40,900 Two blonde models on photo shoots. 218 00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:44,020 Two bodies found in the Angeles National Forest. 219 00:11:44,020 --> 00:11:46,540 Two victims with known or reported ties 220 00:11:46,540 --> 00:11:49,300 to photographer Charles Rathburn. 221 00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:50,860 Despite the similarities, 222 00:11:50,860 --> 00:11:53,780 the LA County Sheriff's Department believes it is too soon 223 00:11:53,780 --> 00:11:56,300 to positively connect the two cases. 224 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,840 Share this video with Northeast Los Angeles National Forest 225 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:01,680 Security Libertadores. 226 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,680 Some parts of the entire declining population 227 00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:11,900 have been reliable. 228 00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:14,800 Right now, some of the red shots don't seem to be lying. 229 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,160 They have been rumored to have seen the Black客. 230 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,940 Only 8 preciselypositive residents 231 00:12:19,940 --> 00:12:22,840 truly have shown any REAL gör mà up but he has said 232 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,660 the black came to become a chatty guy. 233 00:12:26,660 --> 00:12:43,100 April 6, 1963, a highway under construction. 234 00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:45,540 A young single mother hurrying home to her three 235 00:12:45,540 --> 00:12:50,380 small children in the blink of an eye, disaster. 236 00:12:51,140 --> 00:12:53,340 In the blink of an eye, disaster. 237 00:13:06,860 --> 00:13:09,820 26-year-old Patricia Lamarand of Toledo, Ohio, 238 00:13:09,820 --> 00:13:11,820 was killed instantly. 239 00:13:11,820 --> 00:13:13,980 A few miles away, Patricia's children 240 00:13:13,980 --> 00:13:15,980 waited patiently and unknowingly 241 00:13:15,980 --> 00:13:17,700 at the home of their great aunt. 242 00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:19,380 Accident investigators believe she 243 00:13:19,380 --> 00:13:23,340 lost control of the car along a section of the highway. 244 00:13:23,340 --> 00:13:26,380 That evening, the flickering images on the television 245 00:13:26,380 --> 00:13:28,580 brought the tragedy home. 246 00:13:28,580 --> 00:13:30,660 Look, there's Mom's car and TV. 247 00:13:33,340 --> 00:13:35,340 Suddenly, they were motherless. 248 00:13:35,340 --> 00:13:39,020 Patricia's one-year-old son Craig, nicknamed Chipper, 249 00:13:39,020 --> 00:13:41,860 two-year-old Christopher, Chrissy for short, 250 00:13:41,860 --> 00:13:44,860 and four-year-old Tina. 251 00:13:44,860 --> 00:13:48,860 The day before was my brother Chrissy's second birthday. 252 00:13:48,860 --> 00:13:52,300 And I remember the birthday cake and the people at the party. 253 00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:54,460 And my next memory goes immediately 254 00:13:54,460 --> 00:13:58,180 to my aunt on the phone crying. 255 00:13:58,180 --> 00:14:00,380 Tina had only the vaguest notion of something 256 00:14:00,380 --> 00:14:02,060 terrible had happened. 257 00:14:02,060 --> 00:14:04,500 She had no idea that she and her brothers were 258 00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:08,300 about to be split up forever. 259 00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:10,020 Chrissy and Chipper were eventually 260 00:14:10,020 --> 00:14:13,300 handed over to foster care. 261 00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:15,740 Tina was uprooted as well. 262 00:14:15,740 --> 00:14:18,420 Lonely and confused, she left her great aunt's home 263 00:14:18,420 --> 00:14:21,860 to live with her grandparents. 264 00:14:21,860 --> 00:14:25,300 I do remember once my grandparents took custody of me 265 00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:28,140 that I was very upset and could not 266 00:14:28,140 --> 00:14:32,820 understand why my mother and my brothers were gone. 267 00:14:32,820 --> 00:14:38,140 I felt as though I was bad that I had done something terribly 268 00:14:38,140 --> 00:14:41,740 awful for all this to happen to me and for everybody 269 00:14:41,740 --> 00:14:43,100 to have been taken from me. 270 00:14:43,700 --> 00:14:50,540 As I grew up, I missed not having Chrissy and Chipper there. 271 00:14:50,540 --> 00:14:55,740 I knew that they were somewhere and that I wanted to be with them. 272 00:14:55,740 --> 00:15:01,140 But it was out of my control as to where any of us went. 273 00:15:01,140 --> 00:15:03,820 And the older I got, the more I knew 274 00:15:03,820 --> 00:15:06,860 I had the ability to find them. 275 00:15:06,860 --> 00:15:09,780 Tina started looking when she was 16. 276 00:15:09,780 --> 00:15:10,460 What is it? 277 00:15:10,460 --> 00:15:12,300 It's the address of the foster home 278 00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:14,460 where Chrissy and Chipper were taken. 279 00:15:14,460 --> 00:15:16,340 Her great aunt gave her the first clues. 280 00:15:16,340 --> 00:15:17,700 Is this where they live? 281 00:15:17,700 --> 00:15:21,380 No, that's the place where they were taken. 282 00:15:21,380 --> 00:15:25,900 I don't know what happened to them after that. 283 00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:27,940 Tina found the house, only to learn 284 00:15:27,940 --> 00:15:31,060 that Chrissy and Chipper's foster parents had moved. 285 00:15:31,060 --> 00:15:33,900 She then went door to door, hoping the neighbors could help. 286 00:15:42,540 --> 00:15:43,220 Hello. 287 00:15:43,220 --> 00:15:43,940 Hi. 288 00:15:43,940 --> 00:15:47,220 I'm trying to locate a family that used to take in foster kids. 289 00:15:47,220 --> 00:15:51,420 I believe they lived next door to you about 15 years ago. 290 00:15:51,420 --> 00:15:52,100 Oh, yeah. 291 00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:53,340 Yeah, there was a family that they had 292 00:15:53,340 --> 00:15:54,740 lots of foster kids over there. 293 00:15:54,740 --> 00:15:55,260 Yeah. 294 00:15:55,260 --> 00:15:56,740 I'm trying to find my two brothers. 295 00:15:56,740 --> 00:15:58,140 Their names were Chipper and Chrissy, 296 00:15:58,140 --> 00:16:01,540 and I believe they lived with her for a while. 297 00:16:01,540 --> 00:16:02,860 I remember those two. 298 00:16:02,860 --> 00:16:04,180 Yes, they're cute little boys. 299 00:16:04,180 --> 00:16:04,660 Yeah. 300 00:16:04,660 --> 00:16:05,540 I remember them. 301 00:16:05,540 --> 00:16:06,540 I remember. 302 00:16:06,540 --> 00:16:08,780 It was a long time ago, though. 303 00:16:08,780 --> 00:16:11,780 Cynuller, her name was Doris Cynuller. 304 00:16:11,780 --> 00:16:12,900 Doris Cynuller? 305 00:16:12,900 --> 00:16:13,980 Yes. 306 00:16:13,980 --> 00:16:14,980 I think she's a nurse. 307 00:16:14,980 --> 00:16:16,260 Tina was elated. 308 00:16:16,260 --> 00:16:18,180 She finally had a name. 309 00:16:18,180 --> 00:16:20,500 She was only a phone call away from locating 310 00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:22,580 her long lost brothers. 311 00:16:22,580 --> 00:16:25,180 She never imagined it would take another eight years 312 00:16:25,180 --> 00:16:29,820 to track down Doris Cynuller and make that call. 313 00:16:29,820 --> 00:16:32,100 When I first told her who I was, 314 00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:35,580 I asked her if she ever lived in Toledo, and she said yes. 315 00:16:35,580 --> 00:16:37,900 And I asked her if she was ever a foster parent, 316 00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:39,740 and she said yes. 317 00:16:39,780 --> 00:16:42,980 And I told her I believed that she had fostered my brothers, 318 00:16:42,980 --> 00:16:46,940 and she said, my babies, Chrissy and Chipper. 319 00:16:46,940 --> 00:16:50,820 And I nearly fell off in my chair. 320 00:16:50,820 --> 00:16:54,180 Doris had mothered Chrissy and Chipper for almost two years. 321 00:16:54,180 --> 00:16:56,820 She loved them as her own until they were adopted 322 00:16:56,820 --> 00:16:58,020 by a couple from Michigan. 323 00:16:58,020 --> 00:17:00,420 Tina, I've been waiting for you. 324 00:17:00,420 --> 00:17:02,980 Tina visited Doris as soon as she could. 325 00:17:02,980 --> 00:17:06,380 She wanted to hear every detail. 326 00:17:06,380 --> 00:17:07,420 This was taken at dear birth. 327 00:17:07,420 --> 00:17:09,340 Doris gave Tina a glimpse into the life 328 00:17:09,340 --> 00:17:13,820 she might have shared with her brothers. 329 00:17:13,820 --> 00:17:21,220 Doris had saved everything, the home movies, the photographs, 330 00:17:21,220 --> 00:17:24,820 even the boys' tiny bow ties. 331 00:17:24,820 --> 00:17:26,140 These are the actual ties. 332 00:17:26,140 --> 00:17:28,780 When I handed her the bow ties, I 333 00:17:28,780 --> 00:17:33,380 had no intentions of letting her keep those bow ties. 334 00:17:33,380 --> 00:17:35,540 But I didn't have the heart to take them back, 335 00:17:35,540 --> 00:17:38,580 because she looked with them with such loving care, 336 00:17:38,580 --> 00:17:39,940 and she couldn't speak. 337 00:17:39,940 --> 00:17:41,460 She cried. 338 00:17:41,460 --> 00:17:43,380 Oh, sweet. 339 00:17:43,380 --> 00:17:46,980 It just felt as if they had actually worn these. 340 00:17:46,980 --> 00:17:50,380 I was that much closer to them. 341 00:17:50,380 --> 00:17:54,660 I just wanted to be able to be with them. 342 00:17:54,660 --> 00:18:16,740 MUSIC 343 00:18:16,740 --> 00:18:20,300 Coming up, one of Hollywood's most intriguing mysteries 344 00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:24,540 was George Reeves' TV Superman killed by an irate husband. 345 00:18:24,580 --> 00:18:26,460 But first, we'll take you to Wisconsin, 346 00:18:26,460 --> 00:18:29,220 where the birth of a rare white buffalo calf turned a small 347 00:18:29,220 --> 00:18:30,820 farmer to his spiritual mecca. 348 00:18:30,820 --> 00:18:37,580 MUSIC 349 00:18:37,580 --> 00:18:46,220 MUSIC 350 00:18:46,220 --> 00:18:50,260 150 years ago, the buffalo ruled the Western Plains, 351 00:18:50,260 --> 00:18:52,740 30 million strong, proud masters 352 00:18:52,740 --> 00:18:55,780 of a vast uncharted land. 353 00:18:55,780 --> 00:18:58,700 But today, the Great Plains are virtually empty. 354 00:18:58,700 --> 00:19:02,940 Just 130,000 of those majestic creatures remain. 355 00:19:02,940 --> 00:19:05,420 Most are on ranches or farms, such as this one 356 00:19:05,420 --> 00:19:06,820 in Janesville, Wisconsin. 357 00:19:09,860 --> 00:19:12,060 Dave Heider and his wife Valerie have been breeding 358 00:19:12,060 --> 00:19:14,460 buffalo since 1989. 359 00:19:14,460 --> 00:19:16,060 But nothing could have prepared Dave 360 00:19:16,060 --> 00:19:20,180 for the remarkable events of August 20, 1994. 361 00:19:20,180 --> 00:19:23,460 That morning, he went out to check on a pregnant cow, 362 00:19:23,460 --> 00:19:28,820 what he discovered with changes life and his farm forever. 363 00:19:28,820 --> 00:19:31,420 Well, I had it out into the pasture trying to find this cow. 364 00:19:31,420 --> 00:19:37,180 And I found her on the eastmost corner of the pasture. 365 00:19:37,180 --> 00:19:40,020 The cow stood up, and the calf stood up. 366 00:19:40,020 --> 00:19:42,220 And she was in the shade, and the calf 367 00:19:42,220 --> 00:19:48,580 looked funny color, real strange colored, like a gray. 368 00:19:48,580 --> 00:19:50,380 The cow walked out into the sunlight, 369 00:19:50,380 --> 00:19:53,500 and the calf followed her. 370 00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:55,820 I could not believe what I was looking at. 371 00:19:55,820 --> 00:20:00,060 She was as white as white could be, as white as snow. 372 00:20:00,060 --> 00:20:03,500 It was nature at its most glorious and unpredictable. 373 00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:08,900 The odds were 1 in 10 million, a white non-albino buffalo calf. 374 00:20:08,900 --> 00:20:11,180 Fittingly, the hiders named her Miracle. 375 00:20:14,820 --> 00:20:17,260 As news of the extraordinary calf spread, 376 00:20:17,260 --> 00:20:19,660 the hiders were besieged by members of the Lakota Sioux 377 00:20:19,660 --> 00:20:20,980 Nation. 378 00:20:20,980 --> 00:20:24,060 To the Lakotas, Miracle was a profound gift, 379 00:20:24,060 --> 00:20:26,900 a fulfillment of an ancient prophecy. 380 00:20:26,900 --> 00:20:29,500 Almost overnight, the farm was transformed 381 00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:32,820 into a religious shrine. 382 00:20:32,820 --> 00:20:35,620 They came from all over the world here. 383 00:20:35,620 --> 00:20:38,620 They would call from all over the world. 384 00:20:38,620 --> 00:20:41,940 We had telephone calls every three minutes, 385 00:20:41,940 --> 00:20:45,300 from 6.30 in the morning to 11.30 at night. 386 00:20:45,340 --> 00:20:49,140 At one period, we had 2,300 people 387 00:20:49,140 --> 00:20:54,140 through our driveway in a five-hour length of time. 388 00:20:54,140 --> 00:20:56,460 And it was wall-to-wall people constantly. 389 00:20:56,460 --> 00:20:59,540 It was like a wave that never ended. 390 00:21:04,860 --> 00:21:08,500 Initially, the hiders were confounded by all the commotion. 391 00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:10,740 But as a flood tide of visitors continued, 392 00:21:10,740 --> 00:21:13,220 Dave and Valerie soon learned the full significance 393 00:21:13,260 --> 00:21:15,540 of the white buffalo calf. 394 00:21:15,540 --> 00:21:18,340 This rare animal is at the heart of a hallowed legend, 395 00:21:18,340 --> 00:21:21,460 handed down by the Lakota Sioux for some 600 years. 396 00:21:25,460 --> 00:21:28,260 Arvel Lookinghorse of the Cheyenne River Reservation 397 00:21:28,260 --> 00:21:31,220 is a spiritual leader of the Lakota Nation. 398 00:21:31,220 --> 00:21:34,500 He is responsible for passing on the story of the white buffalo 399 00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:37,380 calf to the next generation. 400 00:21:37,380 --> 00:21:41,460 There was a time when the white buffalo calf woman, 401 00:21:41,460 --> 00:21:45,740 she came to the people 19 generations ago. 402 00:21:45,740 --> 00:21:47,700 According to the legend, two scouts 403 00:21:47,700 --> 00:21:49,340 were set out during a great famine 404 00:21:49,340 --> 00:21:51,780 to search for the buffalo herd. 405 00:21:51,780 --> 00:21:55,820 As they crested one rise, they spied a lone white buffalo calf. 406 00:21:55,820 --> 00:21:58,020 It was an amazing sight. 407 00:21:58,020 --> 00:22:01,220 The braves watched in awe as the calf magically transformed 408 00:22:01,220 --> 00:22:02,660 into a beautiful young maiden. 409 00:22:08,020 --> 00:22:11,420 Four days later, the white buffalo calf woman appeared again 410 00:22:11,460 --> 00:22:13,260 to the entire tribe. 411 00:22:13,260 --> 00:22:15,700 She bore a sacred pipe and a coat of laws 412 00:22:15,700 --> 00:22:18,380 as important to the Lakota as a 10 Commandments 413 00:22:18,380 --> 00:22:19,460 art of Western religions. 414 00:22:23,940 --> 00:22:26,340 The maiden promised that she would return once more 415 00:22:26,340 --> 00:22:29,420 in 600 years as a white buffalo calf 416 00:22:29,420 --> 00:22:33,980 to wash her in a period of peace and harmony. 417 00:22:33,980 --> 00:22:38,420 I was told 19 generations ago she came when the cherries are 418 00:22:38,420 --> 00:22:39,940 deepest red or black. 419 00:22:39,940 --> 00:22:45,380 And that would be the last week in August. 420 00:22:45,380 --> 00:22:48,620 And that's when 19 generations later, 421 00:22:48,620 --> 00:22:52,420 this white buffalo calf is being born. 422 00:22:52,420 --> 00:22:54,460 But if Miracle is the reincarnation 423 00:22:54,460 --> 00:22:58,180 of the white buffalo calf woman, why is she here now? 424 00:22:58,180 --> 00:23:03,340 The Lakota believe her return is tied to an ancient prophecy. 425 00:23:03,340 --> 00:23:05,260 In the next five years, she's going 426 00:23:05,260 --> 00:23:09,140 to show us natural disaster and man-made disaster. 427 00:23:09,180 --> 00:23:10,940 It's going to be evil killing evil. 428 00:23:13,780 --> 00:23:16,900 Floyd Han believes it will begin with great fires, 429 00:23:16,900 --> 00:23:20,580 floods will follow, as well as earthquakes, typhoons, 430 00:23:20,580 --> 00:23:23,540 and man-made disasters, pollution, and war. 431 00:23:27,620 --> 00:23:29,340 The prophecy states a devastation 432 00:23:29,340 --> 00:23:32,020 will continue for a full five years. 433 00:23:32,020 --> 00:23:33,860 But as the onslaught wanes, harmony 434 00:23:33,860 --> 00:23:36,820 will prevail, followed by an unprecedented period 435 00:23:36,820 --> 00:23:37,740 of world peace. 436 00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:40,580 There is hope. 437 00:23:40,580 --> 00:23:42,980 There's no going to be no end of the world. 438 00:23:42,980 --> 00:23:45,580 It's just that we've got to put our minds together 439 00:23:45,580 --> 00:23:48,500 as concerning our mother earth. 440 00:23:51,260 --> 00:23:54,300 Perhaps not surprisingly, offers to buy the buffalo calf 441 00:23:54,300 --> 00:23:57,780 come in daily from such diverse people as media mogul Ted 442 00:23:57,780 --> 00:23:59,660 Turner and rock star Ted Nugent. 443 00:24:02,540 --> 00:24:04,260 She's not for sale. 444 00:24:04,260 --> 00:24:06,340 She will not leave here. 445 00:24:06,340 --> 00:24:07,820 She'll have to be here and see the effect 446 00:24:07,860 --> 00:24:12,260 that this calf has on people, how it changes their lives. 447 00:24:12,260 --> 00:24:16,180 Something that is sacred and holy is what that calf is. 448 00:24:16,180 --> 00:24:18,460 You can't put a price on it. 449 00:24:18,460 --> 00:24:24,300 That calf was sent here for us to be like a caretaker to it, 450 00:24:24,300 --> 00:24:26,420 for all people to come see. 451 00:24:26,420 --> 00:24:29,620 The Catholics, Protestants, they've all been here. 452 00:24:29,620 --> 00:24:30,660 You'll see rosaries. 453 00:24:30,660 --> 00:24:35,180 You'll see everything on the gate from anything 454 00:24:35,180 --> 00:24:36,500 that is very important to them. 455 00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:39,020 They will leave on the gate. 456 00:24:39,020 --> 00:24:43,060 A lady came to baptize her baby. 457 00:24:43,060 --> 00:24:47,180 She put her baby's hand through the fence 458 00:24:47,180 --> 00:24:48,180 and held it there. 459 00:24:48,180 --> 00:24:50,820 And the calf come right up and put her head right 460 00:24:50,820 --> 00:24:53,060 under the baby's hand and stayed there 461 00:24:53,060 --> 00:24:55,540 through the whole little ceremony. 462 00:24:55,540 --> 00:24:59,500 And when she was all day all done, she just backed off 463 00:24:59,500 --> 00:25:01,140 and she pulled the baby's hand back 464 00:25:01,140 --> 00:25:05,980 and was just unbelievable. 465 00:25:06,020 --> 00:25:08,260 Unbelievable indeed. 466 00:25:08,260 --> 00:25:10,220 Apparently, the miracle calf has already 467 00:25:10,220 --> 00:25:12,700 fulfilled one portion of the prophecy, 468 00:25:12,700 --> 00:25:17,660 changing colors four times from white to black to red 469 00:25:17,660 --> 00:25:19,380 and now yellow. 470 00:25:19,380 --> 00:25:21,860 This is the world-renowned white buffalo, 471 00:25:21,860 --> 00:25:23,500 which is not so white anymore. 472 00:25:23,500 --> 00:25:25,540 Yeah. 473 00:25:25,540 --> 00:25:27,020 And she's one of these four. 474 00:25:27,020 --> 00:25:28,860 Do you think you can pick her out? 475 00:25:29,780 --> 00:25:34,780 Ladies and gentlemen, there is the star. 476 00:25:34,780 --> 00:25:39,780 I have seen people from all over the world come here. 477 00:25:39,780 --> 00:25:42,780 And when they walk away, there's something different 478 00:25:42,780 --> 00:25:46,780 about them, which is spiritual awakening. 479 00:25:46,780 --> 00:25:50,820 But the message she brought to us is the time has come 480 00:25:50,820 --> 00:25:54,580 for us to live through peace, love, and harmony. 481 00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:01,060 Next, authorities need your help to track down 482 00:26:01,060 --> 00:26:12,200 a man accused of rape. 483 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,360 And you are, like, really enjoying 484 00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:17,340 your gravel infringement. 485 00:26:17,340 --> 00:26:18,600 Come back. 486 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:19,860 Let's work hard. 487 00:26:19,860 --> 00:26:21,000 Support us. 488 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,820 Send us a call. 489 00:26:22,820 --> 00:26:23,720 accused of rape. 490 00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:41,420 This story is about a rape survivor called her Deidre. 491 00:26:41,420 --> 00:26:43,620 Despite her intense trauma, Deidre refuses 492 00:26:43,620 --> 00:26:46,100 to let her living nightmare destroyer. 493 00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:48,860 She wants to fight back by finding the man who raped her 494 00:26:48,860 --> 00:26:50,980 and putting him behind bars. 495 00:26:50,980 --> 00:26:52,860 But she cannot do it alone. 496 00:26:52,860 --> 00:26:54,260 She needs your help. 497 00:26:58,020 --> 00:27:00,780 For years, Deidre lived on New York City's fashionable 498 00:27:00,780 --> 00:27:02,260 Upper East Side. 499 00:27:02,260 --> 00:27:04,540 It is normally a very expensive area. 500 00:27:04,540 --> 00:27:08,780 But Deidre had lucked into a rent stabilized apartment. 501 00:27:08,780 --> 00:27:10,140 Eventually, however, the building 502 00:27:10,140 --> 00:27:12,140 was slated to be torn down. 503 00:27:12,140 --> 00:27:14,620 As leases ran out, the tenants moved. 504 00:27:14,620 --> 00:27:18,340 By early 1992, Deidre was the only tenant left, 505 00:27:18,340 --> 00:27:20,260 the only person living in the building which 506 00:27:20,260 --> 00:27:21,820 was badly in need of repair. 507 00:27:25,380 --> 00:27:28,060 In the end, it was one of those repairs, 508 00:27:28,060 --> 00:27:30,700 a leaky ceiling that led Deidre to disaster. 509 00:27:30,700 --> 00:27:31,820 Yes. 510 00:27:31,820 --> 00:27:32,660 It's me again. 511 00:27:32,660 --> 00:27:33,220 Sorry. 512 00:27:33,220 --> 00:27:35,180 It's just a mess today. 513 00:27:35,180 --> 00:27:37,100 We've got to get it fixed. 514 00:27:37,100 --> 00:27:39,500 The landlord agreed to send someone. 515 00:27:39,500 --> 00:27:44,460 He hired a 31-year-old handyman named David Gause. 516 00:27:44,460 --> 00:27:47,220 When he was first hired, it didn't seem strange at all. 517 00:27:47,220 --> 00:27:48,940 It was just somebody else coming in 518 00:27:48,940 --> 00:27:50,660 to do some work in the building. 519 00:27:50,660 --> 00:27:51,180 That's all. 520 00:27:54,020 --> 00:27:58,020 After Gause fixed the ceiling, the landlord gave him more work. 521 00:27:58,020 --> 00:28:00,460 While Gause did the repairs, he lived temporarily 522 00:28:00,460 --> 00:28:04,100 in a basement apartment. 523 00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:08,500 One night, late at night, I smelled smoke downstairs. 524 00:28:08,500 --> 00:28:10,380 And I went running down. 525 00:28:10,380 --> 00:28:11,540 David, are you down there? 526 00:28:11,540 --> 00:28:13,500 I smell smoke. 527 00:28:13,500 --> 00:28:14,620 Oh, no. 528 00:28:14,620 --> 00:28:16,780 I was just cooking soup in a can. 529 00:28:16,780 --> 00:28:17,580 Are you crazy? 530 00:28:17,580 --> 00:28:19,300 You could run the place down. 531 00:28:19,300 --> 00:28:20,100 No, I was just. 532 00:28:20,100 --> 00:28:22,540 I said, if you're ever going to cook again, 533 00:28:22,540 --> 00:28:24,700 why don't you come up and ask me if you can borrow a pan, 534 00:28:24,700 --> 00:28:26,820 because I really don't want the building to burn down. 535 00:28:30,220 --> 00:28:34,500 March 29, 1992, 9.30 AM. 536 00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:35,420 Who is it? 537 00:28:35,420 --> 00:28:36,060 David. 538 00:28:36,060 --> 00:28:39,060 Oh, David. 539 00:28:39,060 --> 00:28:42,220 I thought you were coming up yesterday to paint the ceiling. 540 00:28:42,220 --> 00:28:43,220 I had other things to do. 541 00:28:43,220 --> 00:28:44,540 I couldn't make it. 542 00:28:44,540 --> 00:28:46,540 I came up to borrow a frying pan. 543 00:28:46,580 --> 00:28:47,260 Oh, OK. 544 00:28:47,260 --> 00:28:48,060 Just a sec. 545 00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:56,620 Here you go. 546 00:28:56,620 --> 00:28:58,300 Hey, what are you doing? 547 00:28:58,300 --> 00:28:59,300 Is it a joke? 548 00:28:59,300 --> 00:29:00,300 No, it's no joke. 549 00:29:07,300 --> 00:29:10,860 After he raped me, it seemed like he was calmer. 550 00:29:10,860 --> 00:29:14,260 But then he got a crazy look in his eye again. 551 00:29:14,260 --> 00:29:18,660 And he took a nice pick out of his pocket. 552 00:29:18,660 --> 00:29:22,620 I thought for sure that he was going to kill me. 553 00:29:26,340 --> 00:29:29,900 Deidre was willing to try anything to save her life. 554 00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:32,940 She hid on a desperate ploy. 555 00:29:32,940 --> 00:29:34,540 No, no, listen, you don't understand. 556 00:29:34,540 --> 00:29:36,380 Wait, no, we could be together. 557 00:29:36,380 --> 00:29:38,980 I made him believe that he was my boyfriend. 558 00:29:38,980 --> 00:29:40,820 It totally disarmed him. 559 00:29:40,820 --> 00:29:43,580 He got really confused about the whole thing. 560 00:29:43,580 --> 00:29:44,380 I have this other money. 561 00:29:44,380 --> 00:29:45,280 Take this too. 562 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,580 Yes, go find those guys. 563 00:29:46,580 --> 00:29:48,460 Pay them the money and come back. 564 00:29:48,460 --> 00:29:49,460 We'll go for breakfast. 565 00:29:49,460 --> 00:29:50,420 We'll be together. 566 00:29:50,420 --> 00:29:51,940 The ploy worked. 567 00:29:51,940 --> 00:29:54,580 Gauze claimed he needed money to pay a debt. 568 00:29:54,580 --> 00:29:55,940 Deidre gave him all she had. 569 00:30:02,380 --> 00:30:06,100 Deidre's called a 911 brought an immediate response. 570 00:30:06,100 --> 00:30:07,780 Yeah, I'm up here. 571 00:30:07,780 --> 00:30:08,680 Calm down. 572 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:09,620 I'll come you right up. 573 00:30:09,620 --> 00:30:11,420 But David Gauze was long gone. 574 00:30:14,260 --> 00:30:17,980 At the police station detect his ran a background check 575 00:30:17,980 --> 00:30:19,260 on Gauze. 576 00:30:19,260 --> 00:30:21,900 It quickly turned up a long list of previous arrests 577 00:30:21,900 --> 00:30:25,260 and felony convictions, including armed robbery, assault, 578 00:30:25,260 --> 00:30:26,220 and grand larceny. 579 00:30:28,820 --> 00:30:30,500 OK, Deidre, now what we're going to do 580 00:30:30,500 --> 00:30:33,380 is I'm going to show you a series of six pictures. 581 00:30:33,380 --> 00:30:35,460 And let me know if you recognize anybody, OK? 582 00:30:35,460 --> 00:30:36,360 OK. 583 00:30:41,580 --> 00:30:43,180 It's him. 584 00:30:43,180 --> 00:30:47,540 After we identified David Gauze as the person who raped 585 00:30:47,540 --> 00:30:50,940 Deidre, I also contacted other police departments 586 00:30:50,940 --> 00:30:53,260 and learned that David Gauze was also 587 00:30:53,260 --> 00:30:56,980 wanted for a rape that occurred in Nassau County, Long Island. 588 00:30:56,980 --> 00:30:59,860 In that rape, he raped an acquaintance of his 589 00:30:59,860 --> 00:31:03,260 and a warrant was issued for his arrest. 590 00:31:03,260 --> 00:31:06,380 David Gauze has not been seen in three and a half years. 591 00:31:06,380 --> 00:31:08,260 The police currently have no leads, 592 00:31:08,260 --> 00:31:11,980 but they fear Gauze will rape again. 593 00:31:11,980 --> 00:31:15,940 Rape is a crime that is usually repeated 594 00:31:15,940 --> 00:31:18,180 until they're caught and put away. 595 00:31:18,180 --> 00:31:22,180 So there's no doubt in my mind if David Gauze is not caught, 596 00:31:22,180 --> 00:31:24,820 that he will go on doing what he's used to doing, 597 00:31:24,820 --> 00:31:25,500 raping women. 598 00:31:28,140 --> 00:31:32,460 It's been three and a half years and it still affects my life. 599 00:31:32,460 --> 00:31:34,780 I don't trust anybody. 600 00:31:34,780 --> 00:31:37,580 There's no enjoyment left. 601 00:31:37,580 --> 00:31:39,460 I know that he's raping other women, 602 00:31:39,460 --> 00:31:42,780 and I know that other lives are being destroyed. 603 00:31:42,780 --> 00:31:45,900 I'd like to see him off the streets. 604 00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:48,300 I'd like to see him put away forever. 605 00:32:10,460 --> 00:32:14,100 When we return, the shooting death of television actor 606 00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:17,260 George Reeve still has many researchers wondering, 607 00:32:17,260 --> 00:32:18,740 who killed Superman? 608 00:32:31,740 --> 00:32:33,060 Faster than a speeding bullet. 609 00:32:36,380 --> 00:32:37,860 More powerful than a locomotive. 610 00:32:40,220 --> 00:32:43,380 Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound. 611 00:32:43,380 --> 00:32:44,740 Look, up in the sky. 612 00:32:44,740 --> 00:32:45,540 It's a bird. 613 00:32:45,540 --> 00:32:46,340 It's a plane. 614 00:32:46,340 --> 00:32:47,540 It's Superman. 615 00:32:47,540 --> 00:32:49,100 Yes, it's Superman. 616 00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:52,700 In the 1950s, millions of TV viewers across America 617 00:32:52,700 --> 00:32:55,260 knew actor George Reeve as Superman, 618 00:32:55,260 --> 00:32:58,980 the man of steel, both indestructible and invincible. 619 00:32:58,980 --> 00:33:02,940 Then steel in his bare hand. 620 00:33:02,940 --> 00:33:05,980 Then came June 16, 1959. 621 00:33:06,060 --> 00:33:08,860 At about 1 30 AM, Los Angeles police 622 00:33:08,860 --> 00:33:11,340 raced to George Reeve's fashionable Hollywood Hills 623 00:33:11,340 --> 00:33:11,840 home. 624 00:33:17,100 --> 00:33:20,740 Upstairs, they found George Reeve sprawled across his bed. 625 00:33:20,740 --> 00:33:23,940 He had died from a single gunshot wound to his right temple. 626 00:33:27,420 --> 00:33:30,260 Police quickly ruled Reeve's death a suicide. 627 00:33:30,260 --> 00:33:32,180 Yet within a week, some people began 628 00:33:32,180 --> 00:33:34,020 to question that ruling. 629 00:33:34,020 --> 00:33:35,860 It was a beginning of a controversy 630 00:33:35,860 --> 00:33:39,780 which continues to this day. 631 00:33:39,780 --> 00:33:42,380 It doesn't make sense that George Reeve's committed suicide 632 00:33:42,380 --> 00:33:44,980 because the evidence doesn't support that. 633 00:33:44,980 --> 00:33:47,180 I don't believe that George Reeve's killed himself. 634 00:33:47,180 --> 00:33:49,060 I believe that he was murdered. 635 00:33:51,860 --> 00:33:54,100 Who killed Superman? 636 00:33:54,100 --> 00:33:56,620 For nearly four decades, at mysterious tantalizing 637 00:33:56,620 --> 00:33:59,180 and fascinated Hollywood, those who 638 00:33:59,180 --> 00:34:01,340 believe George Reeve's met with foul play 639 00:34:01,340 --> 00:34:03,300 say a woman was behind it. 640 00:34:03,300 --> 00:34:05,020 But what woman? 641 00:34:05,020 --> 00:34:06,660 At the time of his death, Reeve's 642 00:34:06,660 --> 00:34:09,620 was at the vortex of a twisted double love triangle which 643 00:34:09,620 --> 00:34:11,700 would have shocked as many loyal fans. 644 00:34:15,220 --> 00:34:20,060 In 1952, George Reeve became an overnight star as Superman. 645 00:34:20,060 --> 00:34:21,820 Just four years earlier, he had been 646 00:34:21,820 --> 00:34:25,380 forced to eke out a living by digging septic tanks. 647 00:34:25,380 --> 00:34:28,020 One of his Superman co-stars was Jack Larson, 648 00:34:28,020 --> 00:34:30,820 who played Jimmy Olsen. 649 00:34:30,820 --> 00:34:33,260 I didn't know what I was getting into. 650 00:34:33,260 --> 00:34:36,620 My presumption, as I'm sure George's was, 651 00:34:36,620 --> 00:34:39,060 no one will probably ever see this. 652 00:34:39,060 --> 00:34:40,060 And we became famous. 653 00:34:40,060 --> 00:34:41,460 I mean, we became hot. 654 00:34:41,460 --> 00:34:44,500 And I was just a guy around New York 655 00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:46,180 who some people would say, hey, didn't I 656 00:34:46,180 --> 00:34:49,140 see you in the Alco or a bit of a lunch counter? 657 00:34:49,140 --> 00:34:50,620 And suddenly, I was Jimmy Olsen. 658 00:34:50,620 --> 00:35:00,260 The End 659 00:35:00,260 --> 00:35:02,660 Away from the cameras, in his love life, at least, 660 00:35:02,660 --> 00:35:07,300 Reeve's bore little resemblance to the TV superhero. 661 00:35:07,300 --> 00:35:10,300 His teddy girl friend was Tony Manix, a former Ziegfeld 662 00:35:10,300 --> 00:35:14,340 showgirl, eight years his senior. 663 00:35:14,340 --> 00:35:16,700 Tony, however, was a married woman. 664 00:35:16,700 --> 00:35:19,820 Her husband, Eddie Manix, had been vice president of MGM 665 00:35:19,860 --> 00:35:22,780 and was still a powerful force in Hollywood. 666 00:35:22,780 --> 00:35:25,660 No one knows why, but Manix encouraged his wife's 667 00:35:25,660 --> 00:35:26,740 involvement with Reeve's. 668 00:35:29,540 --> 00:35:31,300 The relationship between George and Tony 669 00:35:31,300 --> 00:35:33,740 was a very open relationship. 670 00:35:33,740 --> 00:35:36,180 She took care of George very well. 671 00:35:36,180 --> 00:35:40,620 The car that he drove was bought by Tony in the house 672 00:35:40,620 --> 00:35:43,140 that he lived in was Tony's house. 673 00:35:43,140 --> 00:35:45,340 But something happened in late 58 674 00:35:45,340 --> 00:35:47,980 that broke that relationship off. 675 00:35:50,020 --> 00:35:53,020 Tony Manix was devastated by the breakup, 676 00:35:53,020 --> 00:35:55,460 but George moved on quickly. 677 00:35:55,460 --> 00:35:58,300 He soon began spending his time with Lenore Lemon, 678 00:35:58,300 --> 00:36:01,180 a member of the New York Cafe Society, much younger 679 00:36:01,180 --> 00:36:02,780 and much wilder than Tony Manix. 680 00:36:05,340 --> 00:36:07,820 She had a reputation, a bad reputation, 681 00:36:07,820 --> 00:36:10,780 for fights in clubs in New York. 682 00:36:10,780 --> 00:36:14,300 I think George liked the excitement that he found with her. 683 00:36:17,100 --> 00:36:18,740 Another George. 684 00:36:19,100 --> 00:36:20,220 Yes, please, there. 685 00:36:20,220 --> 00:36:22,260 On the night George Reeves died, his life 686 00:36:22,260 --> 00:36:25,100 was not as perfect as it might have appeared. 687 00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:28,380 Although he pampered Lenore and they were reportedly engaged, 688 00:36:28,380 --> 00:36:30,580 Reeves could not keep up the lavish lifestyle 689 00:36:30,580 --> 00:36:32,580 he had enjoyed with Tony. 690 00:36:32,580 --> 00:36:36,420 Cut off from her money, the bills were piling up. 691 00:36:36,420 --> 00:36:39,380 Moreover, Reeves hadn't filmed a new episode of Superman 692 00:36:39,380 --> 00:36:40,980 in two years. 693 00:36:40,980 --> 00:36:42,540 It was the perfume. 694 00:36:42,540 --> 00:36:46,740 I think George Reeves was going through a midlife crisis. 695 00:36:46,740 --> 00:36:50,060 There are reports that George was planning to marry Lenore 696 00:36:50,060 --> 00:36:50,940 Lemon. 697 00:36:50,940 --> 00:36:52,100 I don't think he was going to do that. 698 00:36:52,100 --> 00:36:56,140 And that's where I think an argument came up. 699 00:36:58,860 --> 00:37:02,100 By midnight, only Lenore Lemon and writer Robert Condon 700 00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:04,820 remained at the house with Reeves. 701 00:37:04,820 --> 00:37:06,980 Shortly thereafter, two neighbors stopped 702 00:37:06,980 --> 00:37:08,180 by looking for a party. 703 00:37:14,340 --> 00:37:15,700 The bar is closed. 704 00:37:17,740 --> 00:37:19,300 Uh, I'm sorry. 705 00:37:19,300 --> 00:37:22,740 According to Jim Note, Lenore became increasingly agitated 706 00:37:22,740 --> 00:37:24,700 about the way Reeves treated the guests. 707 00:37:24,700 --> 00:37:26,220 George, look what you've done. 708 00:37:26,220 --> 00:37:27,140 Fine. 709 00:37:27,140 --> 00:37:30,180 I think this made Lenore Lemon very angry 710 00:37:30,180 --> 00:37:32,500 that he treated a friend like that. 711 00:37:32,500 --> 00:37:35,420 She went up and I think an argument started. 712 00:37:35,420 --> 00:37:38,420 I think George at that time told her that he had no plans 713 00:37:38,420 --> 00:37:42,420 to marry her and that she became very angry and pulled out 714 00:37:42,420 --> 00:37:42,900 a gun. 715 00:37:42,900 --> 00:37:46,980 And I don't think on purpose, but I think accidentally 716 00:37:46,980 --> 00:37:48,380 shot George. 717 00:37:48,380 --> 00:37:51,140 And exactly what did you hear? 718 00:37:51,140 --> 00:37:54,900 Well, we were downstairs and we heard a shot. 719 00:37:54,900 --> 00:37:55,740 We went upstairs. 720 00:37:55,740 --> 00:37:59,180 Half an hour passed before the police were notified. 721 00:37:59,180 --> 00:38:01,540 Jim Note believes the party goers needed time 722 00:38:01,540 --> 00:38:03,140 to come up with a consistent story. 723 00:38:03,140 --> 00:38:05,100 And Ray Carroll was with William? 724 00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:06,180 One question. 725 00:38:06,180 --> 00:38:08,700 Everyone said Reeves had been alone in his bedroom 726 00:38:08,700 --> 00:38:10,900 that he had shot himself. 727 00:38:10,900 --> 00:38:12,060 He was up there alone. 728 00:38:12,060 --> 00:38:15,380 Immediately, the police ruled Reeves' death a suicide, 729 00:38:15,380 --> 00:38:19,420 despite some rather curious evidence. 730 00:38:19,420 --> 00:38:23,820 A 30-caliber Luger pistol lay on the floor between Reeves' legs. 731 00:38:23,820 --> 00:38:26,380 But there were no fingerprints on the gun. 732 00:38:26,380 --> 00:38:27,660 The bullet's in the ceiling. 733 00:38:27,660 --> 00:38:29,860 The bullet had passed through Reeves' skull 734 00:38:29,860 --> 00:38:32,500 and lodged in the ceiling above his bed. 735 00:38:32,500 --> 00:38:35,060 And strangely, the fatal shell casing 736 00:38:35,060 --> 00:38:37,260 was found underneath Reeves' body. 737 00:38:42,420 --> 00:38:45,420 If George Reeves had committed suicide and held the gun 738 00:38:45,420 --> 00:38:47,420 to his head, the bullet casing would 739 00:38:47,420 --> 00:38:49,380 have been expelled away from his body, 740 00:38:49,380 --> 00:38:52,580 not in back of his body where he would have fallen on it. 741 00:38:52,580 --> 00:38:55,060 There were no powder burns in his hands. 742 00:38:55,060 --> 00:38:57,300 There were no powder burns in his head, 743 00:38:57,300 --> 00:39:00,340 which means that the gun was held far enough away from his head 744 00:39:00,340 --> 00:39:02,260 that there weren't any powder burns. 745 00:39:02,260 --> 00:39:05,940 Somebody else pulled that trigger. 746 00:39:05,940 --> 00:39:08,980 But was Lenore Lemon that somebody else? 747 00:39:08,980 --> 00:39:10,660 Writer and researcher Michael Haid 748 00:39:10,660 --> 00:39:12,860 has an even darker theory. 749 00:39:12,860 --> 00:39:15,580 He believes that George Reeves' death was a direct result 750 00:39:15,580 --> 00:39:17,900 of his illicit affair with Tony Manix 751 00:39:17,900 --> 00:39:22,420 and her husband Eddie's anger over Reeves ending it. 752 00:39:22,420 --> 00:39:24,860 I believe that the man was murdered. 753 00:39:24,860 --> 00:39:29,660 I believe that Eddie Manix, tired of listening to his wife 754 00:39:29,660 --> 00:39:32,300 grieve and obsess over George Reeves, 755 00:39:32,300 --> 00:39:36,700 decided that it was time to take some action. 756 00:39:36,700 --> 00:39:39,660 It was my understanding that George's house was pretty much 757 00:39:39,660 --> 00:39:41,980 an open house, and I think it was relatively easy for Eddie 758 00:39:41,980 --> 00:39:45,180 Manix to send someone over to the house 759 00:39:45,180 --> 00:39:48,020 during the course of a party that may have been going on. 760 00:39:48,020 --> 00:39:50,820 And Eddie Manix had the guy killed. 761 00:39:50,820 --> 00:39:53,620 Hey, Georgie boy. 762 00:39:53,620 --> 00:39:54,620 Where are you? 763 00:39:59,380 --> 00:40:00,820 George? 764 00:40:00,820 --> 00:40:05,020 That Eddie Manix, by the end of the 50s, who was retiring, 765 00:40:05,020 --> 00:40:07,900 would endanger his life and the end of his life 766 00:40:07,900 --> 00:40:12,620 by having something nefarious done to George 767 00:40:12,620 --> 00:40:16,020 is to my mind ludicrous. 768 00:40:16,020 --> 00:40:18,260 But what about the physical evidence? 769 00:40:18,260 --> 00:40:21,900 No fingerprints on the gun, the shell casing underneath 770 00:40:21,900 --> 00:40:27,340 Reeves' body, the lack of powder burns on his hands or head? 771 00:40:27,340 --> 00:40:29,460 The absence of powder burns raises a question in a lot 772 00:40:29,460 --> 00:40:32,260 of people's minds because most people have a misconception 773 00:40:32,260 --> 00:40:33,420 about powder burns. 774 00:40:33,420 --> 00:40:36,420 They believe that powder burns happen when a weapon is placed 775 00:40:36,420 --> 00:40:38,140 up against the skin. 776 00:40:38,140 --> 00:40:39,180 That's not the case. 777 00:40:39,180 --> 00:40:41,380 When the weapon is placed against the skin, 778 00:40:41,380 --> 00:40:43,860 the powder goes into the wound and does not 779 00:40:43,860 --> 00:40:46,540 burn the outside of the skin. 780 00:40:46,540 --> 00:40:50,940 The police found no evidence of fingerprints on the weapon. 781 00:40:50,940 --> 00:40:55,420 George was a gun collector, and he kept his weapons well oiled. 782 00:40:55,420 --> 00:40:57,740 Well, a thick coat of oil won't hold fingerprints 783 00:40:57,740 --> 00:40:59,980 any more than water will. 784 00:40:59,980 --> 00:41:01,420 OK, take him. 785 00:41:01,420 --> 00:41:03,780 Perhaps the most difficult fact to explain 786 00:41:03,780 --> 00:41:07,260 is how the shell casing got under the body. 787 00:41:07,260 --> 00:41:10,740 The 30 caliber Luger is designed to eject the shell upwards 788 00:41:10,740 --> 00:41:12,820 and away from the shooter. 789 00:41:12,820 --> 00:41:17,420 Most people think that couldn't put the shell behind him. 790 00:41:17,420 --> 00:41:20,900 However, if the gun was fired this way, 791 00:41:20,900 --> 00:41:23,020 it would eject the shell downward, for example. 792 00:41:28,700 --> 00:41:30,460 According to the autopsy report, 793 00:41:30,460 --> 00:41:32,420 the bullet entered Reeves' head about one inch 794 00:41:32,420 --> 00:41:34,060 above his right ear. 795 00:41:34,060 --> 00:41:36,380 It exited about one and three quarters of an inch 796 00:41:36,380 --> 00:41:39,700 above the left ear, then lodged in the ceiling. 797 00:41:39,700 --> 00:41:42,380 The bullet trajectory suggests that Reeves' head was tilted 798 00:41:42,380 --> 00:41:43,940 when the gun was fired. 799 00:41:43,940 --> 00:41:48,300 Consequently, he may have held the gun in an odd position. 800 00:41:48,300 --> 00:41:52,660 If George had held the gun not this way, but in this way, 801 00:41:52,660 --> 00:41:55,900 the more comfortable and natural position, 802 00:41:55,900 --> 00:41:59,100 he would have ejected the shell directly behind him 803 00:41:59,100 --> 00:42:02,100 and onto the bed. 804 00:42:02,100 --> 00:42:04,820 But why would Superman kill himself? 805 00:42:04,820 --> 00:42:06,620 Jack Larson believes that Reeves was 806 00:42:06,620 --> 00:42:09,780 despondent over his lack of work. 807 00:42:09,780 --> 00:42:10,620 He couldn't get a job. 808 00:42:10,620 --> 00:42:11,900 I couldn't get a job. 809 00:42:11,900 --> 00:42:14,260 In the United States, I was too typed, as Jimmy Holt. 810 00:42:14,260 --> 00:42:14,900 Absolutely typed. 811 00:42:14,900 --> 00:42:17,260 Nobody wanted me to work at all. 812 00:42:17,260 --> 00:42:18,500 I don't know what happened to George. 813 00:42:18,500 --> 00:42:20,700 I only had a bow tie and a sweater to worry about George 814 00:42:20,700 --> 00:42:22,620 and the Superman outfit. 815 00:42:22,620 --> 00:42:27,300 So I was depressed, and I accepted instantly 816 00:42:27,300 --> 00:42:29,220 that he had committed suicide. 817 00:42:29,220 --> 00:42:32,660 There is evidence to support all three theories about his death. 818 00:42:32,660 --> 00:42:35,140 I think there is evidence to support suicide. 819 00:42:35,140 --> 00:42:38,140 There is evidence to support a tragic accident. 820 00:42:38,140 --> 00:42:40,300 And there is evidence to support murder. 821 00:42:40,300 --> 00:42:44,220 The only people who know how George Reeves died 822 00:42:44,220 --> 00:42:45,980 are no longer with us. 823 00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:48,780 Yes, it's Superman, a strange visitor from another place. 824 00:42:48,780 --> 00:42:50,540 Who killed Superman? 825 00:42:50,540 --> 00:42:52,060 Was George Reeves' death the result 826 00:42:52,060 --> 00:42:54,540 of a secretive and perilous love triangle? 827 00:42:54,540 --> 00:42:57,100 Or was he the victim of a depression so profound 828 00:42:57,100 --> 00:42:59,620 that he took his own life? 829 00:42:59,620 --> 00:43:01,620 Perhaps we will never know. 830 00:43:01,620 --> 00:43:05,780 Perhaps this is one case destined to remain an unsolved mystery. 831 00:43:05,780 --> 00:43:10,020 An ever-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way. 832 00:43:22,420 --> 00:43:25,140 Join me again this Friday at our regular time 833 00:43:25,140 --> 00:43:27,940 for an all-new edition of Unsolved Mysteries.
