1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Tonight on Unsolved Mysteries.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000
A bitterly cold night, an icy road,

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
a young woman stranded in subzero temperatures.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Seven hours later, she is found literally frozen stiff

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
with death just a heartbeat away.

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000
In desperation, her friends and family start a prayer chain,

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000
believing that only a miracle can save her life.

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
In Florida, two young hoodlums embark on a night of terror,

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
a wild rampage that ends in murder.

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Today, one of the men remains at large.

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Have you seen Albert Leon Fletcher?

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
As a ramp supervisor at Northwest Airlines,

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Tsutaraskowitz was a rarity in a world dominated by men.

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
For years, she reportedly endured an angry onslaught

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
of sexual harassment on the job.

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
However, she was not alone.

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
However, Sue refused to give in to the alleged bigotry.

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Right up until the day, she was brutally murdered.

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Did you know that Elvis Presley had a twin brother

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000
who died at birth?

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Some believe this little known tragedy was both the inspiration

22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
for Elvis Presley's greatness and the haunting secret

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000
behind his untimely death.

24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Join me for another intriguing edition of Unsolved Mysteries.

25
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Ah!

26
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Do you believe in miracles?

27
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
If you don't, maybe it's because you haven't yet heard

28
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
about Jean Helyard and the night she collapsed in the snow

29
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
and froze almost as solid as a block of ice

30
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
for more than six hours.

31
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
It was December 20, 1980.

32
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Jean was 19 years old and driving to her home

33
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
outside a small town in northern Minnesota.

34
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
She chose the scenic route, a country road

35
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
she had driven routinely a hundred times before.

36
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
But tonight would be different.

37
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Damn it.

38
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
I tried to get it back on the road,

39
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
but it just kept sliding further and further in the ditch.

40
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,000
I did think of possibly staying there for just a few seconds,

41
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000
but I was afraid of maybe carbon monoxide poisoning.

42
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Somebody coming along finding me alone

43
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000
or that I would just sit there all night before anybody came by.

44
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
I knew neighbors that lived on the road,

45
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,000
and I didn't think they were very far away,

46
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
so I decided to walk.

47
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
It was a decision Jean would come to regret.

48
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
It was 25 degrees below zero,

49
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000
with a wind chill factor minus seven.

50
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Even from Minnesota, it was extremely cold,

51
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,000
and Jean was hardly dressed for the outdoors.

52
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000
She wore a thin sweater and parka, jeans,

53
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
and dressy cowboy boots.

54
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000
She had no hat, not even a hood on her parka.

55
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000
I did feel the cold, but I didn't feel it was too cold to be in.

56
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,000
And the cold didn't enter my mind as being dangerous at all,

57
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
because I was afraid of being in the cold.

58
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
I didn't feel the cold at all,

59
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,000
because I was used to being out in the cold all my life.

60
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Jean trudged along, unaware that every second,

61
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
the cold was sapping precious heat from her body,

62
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
bringing her closer to a perilous state of hypothermia.

63
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
The cold was so debilitating,

64
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
it took Jean more than an hour to walk a mile and a half.

65
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
She was outside of her friend's house.

66
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,000
I had walked and walked for so long,

67
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,000
and I finally saw my friend's house.

68
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000
And at that point, I was just so relieved.

69
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000
There it is. I'm almost there.

70
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000
And that's the last thing I remember.

71
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,000
The sun rose on a clear, bitterly cold day.

72
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Jean's friend opened the door to a horrible sight.

73
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Jean was literally frozen stiff,

74
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
her face fixed in an icy, white grimace.

75
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,000
At the small local hospital, the nursing staff was stunned.

76
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
They'd seen hundreds of frostbite cases,

77
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
but they'd never seen anything like this.

78
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000
She was so cold, it was like reaching into a freezer.

79
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Like picking out a frozen stick of wood that was so cold,

80
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,000
non-bendable.

81
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Her face was so cold,

82
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000
it was so cold, it was so cold.

83
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000
It was so cold, it was so bendable.

84
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Her face was absolutely white.

85
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,000
It was absolutely colorless, just this ashen death look.

86
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000
She was severely frostbitten.

87
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
None of her limbs would bend or move,

88
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,000
and really things looked very grim.

89
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
We did hook her up to the monitor,

90
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000
and we got this agonal rhythm,

91
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000
it was just like one and nothing.

92
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,000
So then, too, we knew that we had something.

93
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000
But, you know, that's a death rhythm.

94
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000
When a person gets frostbite,

95
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,000
what we're basically talking about is freezing of the limbs.

96
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,000
That actually means ice crystals forming in the cells,

97
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000
and in so doing, they destroy many of the cells of the body.

98
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,000
It's a lot like a burn, with tissue destruction.

99
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,000
After the hands and feet maybe start the initial stages of frostbite,

100
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
and the core temperature of the body drops.

101
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000
The heart, the lungs, the internal organs of the abdomen, the brain,

102
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000
when those start to cool, that's referred to as hypothermia.

103
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,000
And as they start to cool,

104
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
it becomes more and more difficult for them to perform their functions

105
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
until finally they stop.

106
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000
At that point, the patient would more than likely die.

107
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
The hospital staff pulled out all its resources,

108
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
but Rosie Erickson, a hospital office worker,

109
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000
worried it wouldn't be enough.

110
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Rosie knew what Jean needed, a miracle.

111
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,000
I called the pastor of our church,

112
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,000
and I stated simply that Jean Hilliard from the Lingby area

113
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
was brought into the hospital in a frozen condition,

114
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000
very critical, and that she needed prayer.

115
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Hello, Patty. This is Pastor Erickson.

116
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Hi, Pastor.

117
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
With the blessing of the family, the word went out.

118
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
The prayer chain started about nine that morning.

119
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Within ten minutes, more than 30 people were praying for Jean.

120
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
But would it work?

121
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Could anything save Jean's life?

122
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000
I had a prayer request that we need to pass on right away.

123
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,000
I believe it probably was like ten minutes to ten

124
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
when one of the nurses came by and yelled in.

125
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Rosie, we think Jean is going to make it.

126
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,000
And I looked up at the clock, and it still sins,

127
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,000
chills up my arms and my spine to remember that I looked

128
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
and thought, yes, people are praying now

129
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
and God is answering prayer.

130
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,000
It was more than anyone ever expected.

131
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Less than two hours after the prayer chain began,

132
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Jean had suddenly gone into violent spasms.

133
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Though the danger was far from over,

134
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000
it was a good sign, a sign of returning life.

135
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Even so, Jean's family was told to expect the worst.

136
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,000
The doctors and nurses worried that even if Jean regained

137
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,000
consciousness, she might be seriously brain damaged.

138
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
It was like this all over.

139
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Moreover, the frostbite was so severe

140
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000
that amputating Jean's leg seemed inevitable.

141
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,000
It's a missus, Jean Creel.

142
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Yes, doctor.

143
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000
She just didn't look real.

144
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
It was like, this can't be.

145
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,000
And I remember mom and I didn't even say a word to each other.

146
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,000
There was nothing we could say that would describe it.

147
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,000
We just were, I guess, shocked.

148
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Jean, Jean, Jeanne, Jeanne, I'm sorry.

149
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,000
I've got to ask you a couple of questions.

150
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,000
I woke up in the hospital about noon.

151
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Very good, very good.

152
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Things were kind of hazy, and people were asking me questions

153
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000
as to who I am and things like that.

154
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,000
And I couldn't figure out why they were talking to me that way

155
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,000
or why they were treating me that way.

156
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,000
And of course I knew these people.

157
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Of course I knew who I was.

158
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
I mean, what's the big deal?

159
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Hi, honey.

160
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:25,000
When Jeanne first came to, and we knew that she was going to live,

161
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,000
it was an extreme relief.

162
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:34,000
But what was more miraculous to me was her legs recovering.

163
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Every time we lifted the sheet, we could see the white just moving down.

164
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,000
The black was disappearing little by little.

165
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:47,000
And to me, I still think that was just unbelievable.

166
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Just the fact that she was alive was when everyone said that

167
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
she wasn't going to make it.

168
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,000
And it wasn't so much that they didn't have faith or they didn't believe,

169
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000
but it was just the severity of what had happened.

170
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Jeanne spent 49 days in the hospital.

171
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,000
In defiance of everything her doctors knew about frostbite,

172
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,000
she recovered completely.

173
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
It was enough that she survived.

174
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000
That was a wonderful enough thing.

175
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,000
But to have this added gain of not losing any fingers or toes,

176
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,000
and in fact just having what I guess would be minor scares,

177
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000
this is remarkable.

178
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,000
15 years later, Jeanne still lives in Minnesota

179
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,000
and is a mother of three children.

180
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,000
She credits her miraculous escape from death,

181
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,000
not only to the doctors and nurses who treated her,

182
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,000
but also to the chain of friends and neighbors who prayed for her.

183
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,000
I just think without all those people that I might not have survived,

184
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,000
there are other people across the nation that same night,

185
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:03,000
that were found in the same condition I was in, and they died.

186
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,000
I really believe that it was the hand of God,

187
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,000
that it was His way of responding to everybody

188
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000
that was responding to me.

189
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
No one was going to give up on me,

190
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,000
and I guess maybe He responded to that too.

191
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Next, a dead woman's diary reveals a shocking campaign

192
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000
of sexual harassment and a possible key to her murder.

193
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,000
And later, Elvis Presley was one,

194
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,000
so were thousands of less notable people.

195
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,000
A fascinating look at the phenomenon of twinless twins.

196
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,000
The New York Times

197
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:59,000
April 1989, Logan Airport, Boston.

198
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,000
In the airline industry,

199
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,000
24-year-old Sue Tarascovitz was something of a trailblazer.

200
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000
She had recently become only the second woman

201
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,000
hired by Northwest Airlines as a ground services employee

202
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,000
on the ramp at Logan.

203
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Look at the ground power of the AC on the aircraft.

204
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,000
It was just the kind of challenge Sue Tarascovitz thrived on.

205
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Sue loved being on the ramp.

206
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
She liked doing the job.

207
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Sometimes she'd come home and say,

208
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
I lift a million bags today,

209
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
and they were 200 pounds each.

210
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
She'd make a joke out of it,

211
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
but she never came complaining about the job.

212
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
She loved it.

213
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
I'm trying to set her well record tonight.

214
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Somebody's got to do your work.

215
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Hey, we've got plenty of time on this.

216
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Yeah, you don't have to do the paperwork.

217
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000
At Northwest, Sue had worked her way up

218
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,000
from cleaning the interiors of jets to landing the new job.

219
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Get that for you.

220
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Three years later in 1992,

221
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000
she was promoted to ramp supervisor,

222
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000
the first woman ever to hold that position.

223
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Let me. Let me.

224
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,000
All right, take off, boys.

225
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000
You're in the sixth city like every morning, you know?

226
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Come around here to push this car out of the way.

227
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000
I see that. I know it's not oil.

228
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
I call you guys.

229
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,000
On the morning of September 14, 1992,

230
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Sue Tarascovitz's car was discovered

231
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
at an auto body shop not far from the airport.

232
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Yeah. See if you can pop that trunk latch, will you?

233
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,000
In the trunk was Sue's body.

234
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,000
She had been bludgeoned and then stabbed multiple times.

235
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Even though Sue had been neither robbed

236
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000
or sexually molested, her family assumed

237
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,000
she had been targeted at random.

238
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Driver's license, credit cards, everything's still here.

239
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,000
But who?

240
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Who could have wanted Sue Tarascovitz dead?

241
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,000
For more than a year, Sue's family grieved

242
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
and pondered that disturbing question.

243
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Then at Christmas time 1993,

244
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Marlene Tarascovitz finally ventured

245
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
into her daughter's room for the first time

246
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000
since the murder.

247
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,000
I tried many times to go into Sue's room.

248
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,000
You know, you just, you've got to do this.

249
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000
It's a year. You know you should.

250
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Let me get something that was special to her.

251
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000
We'll just put it out.

252
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
And I started going into her closet

253
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,000
and I saw a briefcase there.

254
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Inside the briefcase was a diary

255
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,000
and its contents were shocking.

256
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,000
In wrenching detail, Sue had told me

257
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
that in wrenching detail, Sue had documented

258
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,000
accounts of sexual harassment she had endured at Northwest.

259
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Ugly incidents Sue had never mentioned to her family.

260
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,000
The journal included quotes of graffiti,

261
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,000
insulting, demeaning and lurid,

262
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,000
that had been etched in the men's rooms at the airport

263
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000
and even in the cargo holes of jets.

264
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,000
What I read, the filth

265
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000
that somebody would write about my Susan.

266
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000
And I thought, is this why she was murdered?

267
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
And we thought, this is it.

268
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000
We have solved Susan's murder.

269
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
In numerous passages, Sue described what appeared to be

270
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
blatant acts of hostility.

271
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Typical was a following entry.

272
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,000
April 12th, 1989, Bobby came into the break room.

273
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Hey, that's my radio!

274
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000
What?

275
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
That's my radio!

276
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,000
I'll buy you a new one.

277
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,000
What did you do that for?

278
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000
The Bruins lost.

279
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000
He left the room and one of my coworkers picked up the radio

280
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
and plugged it in to see if it still worked.

281
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Yay!

282
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Yay!

283
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Thanks!

284
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Bobby came back into the room.

285
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Sue's boyfriend at the time, who also worked at the airport,

286
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000
spoke to Bobby and demanded that he replace the radio.

287
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Sue confronted Bobby later that day.

288
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Did you get my radio yet?

289
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,000
It's in the mail.

290
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Come on, Bobby.

291
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,000
That was the radio that my mother got me for Christmas.

292
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,000
What are you going to do?

293
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Send your little punk boyfriend over here again?

294
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Is he going to beat me up?

295
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,000
He's lucky I didn't kill him.

296
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Sue filed numerous formal complaints with the management

297
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
of Northwest Airlines and her union,

298
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000
but little was done to curb the harassment.

299
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000
In time, the abuse escalated to torrents of anonymous graffiti,

300
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,000
all of the targeting, Sue T.

301
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000
It wasn't apparently just one or two pieces of graffiti

302
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,000
that made their way up and then were washed away.

303
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:38,000
It was repeated cases of graffiti of varying kinds,

304
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:43,000
in some cases, amounting to death threats against other workers

305
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,000
who were supporting Sue.

306
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Sue also talks in her diary about getting anonymous phone calls

307
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000
all hours of the night.

308
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,000
She records some of the times the phone calls happen.

309
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Who's there?

310
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Who is this?

311
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:13,000
She also had instances where her car was vandalized,

312
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,000
her boyfriend's car was vandalized,

313
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:22,000
friends who were supporting her had their cars vandalized.

314
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Curiously, Sue's diary covered only her first eight and a half months

315
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,000
in her new job, but apparently the discrimination continued.

316
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Thanks a lot, honey.

317
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Despite the abuse, Sue's ambition didn't flag.

318
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,000
In February 1992, she was promoted to ramp supervisor

319
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,000
and put in charge of the employees she once worked with on the tarmac.

320
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
OK, well, I'll take care of the missing baggage,

321
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,000
but I need you to take your crew and get the next two flights.

322
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Initially, Sue had been passed over for the promotion

323
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000
when a man in her union had illegally bid for the job.

324
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Sue filed a grievance in one, becoming the first female

325
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,000
to hold the position, but the victory was not without its detractors.

326
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,000
A lot of them felt that they didn't want any females,

327
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,000
being their boss, that that should be a man's job.

328
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
It didn't stop her from coming to work.

329
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:22,000
It didn't stop her from standing up to things that she thought was wrong.

330
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Some men resent a woman, I think, in a position of authority

331
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,000
while there's others that like it and that deal with it.

332
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,000
But at Northwest, it was definitely the element that had a problem with it.

333
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,000
I think she was very conscientious about her job.

334
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000
She always tried to make it a better place to work.

335
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,000
She really believed that she could make a difference there

336
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,000
for minorities and women that worked there.

337
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Here's some good OT, huh?

338
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Ching.

339
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Do you get to spend some of your hard-earned money?

340
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Yeah, right.

341
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Like between this and my supervising shifts?

342
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,000
When?

343
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
A few months after Sue's promotion,

344
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000
the graffiti became more sinister.

345
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000
I'm thinking of maybe taking a break.

346
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000
It may have been the beginning of the end.

347
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000
I am so sick of this.

348
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,000
So you're going to have to call somebody?

349
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Yeah, who?

350
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Who haven't I talked to again?

351
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,000
I don't know.

352
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Sue and I had a meeting at Northwest that did not go well.

353
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,000
During the meeting, she started to cry.

354
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,000
And she was crying so hard she really couldn't control herself.

355
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
She cried into the ladies' room.

356
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,000
She was sobbing.

357
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Sue, are you out there?

358
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Oh, damn, I can't believe I did that.

359
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
I can't believe I was doing it to cry.

360
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000
I broke our rule, damn.

361
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000
I was concerned about the ongoing emotional toll

362
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000
that it was taking on her.

363
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,000
She told me that she was afraid.

364
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,000
She did not say that she was afraid for her life,

365
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,000
but now that I look back,

366
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,000
I take that possibly she meant she was afraid for her life.

367
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Hey, Dennis.

368
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,000
I'm going to go in a sandwich run to the roast beef place.

369
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,000
I'll go.

370
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,000
I'm going to let it all over tonight.

371
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,000
No, these guys are working hard.

372
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,000
I want to treat them.

373
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000
September 12, 1992.

374
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,000
During a graveyard shift,

375
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Sue volunteered to go to a restaurant

376
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000
to pick up sandwiches for her crew.

377
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Sue Tereskiewicz never returned.

378
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,000
One reported her missing for a day and a half.

379
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,000
When we first found out that Sue was murdered,

380
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,000
the very first question we asked was,

381
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000
did Sue ever do this before?

382
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Did she ever leave work and not come back?

383
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,000
And we were told never.

384
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Why did nobody report her missing?

385
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Is there a cover up of some sort?

386
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,000
I'm not sure.

387
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Authorities now believe that Sue's death may have been

388
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000
connected to a federal investigation of Northwest

389
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,000
that took place in the summer of 1992.

390
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Evidently, some baggage handlers at the Boston facility

391
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,000
had been operating a stolen credit card ring.

392
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
When shipments of new credit cards were transported

393
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,000
on Northwest jets, a group of workers

394
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,000
were stealing them, using them, and selling them.

395
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,000
The scam netted over $7 million.

396
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,000
For over $7 million, 10 Northwest employees

397
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,000
were eventually indicted and given various sentences.

398
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,000
To Marlene Tereskiewicz, some of the names were very familiar.

399
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,000
They were names of people that were in Sue's diary

400
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,000
that had sexually harassed her from day one.

401
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:39,000
I believe that Susan was set up by her coworkers.

402
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000
That for whatever reason, they were afraid

403
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000
that Susan was going to squill on something.

404
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000
As far as the airport's concerned,

405
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,000
a lot of people there knew her.

406
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,000
A lot of people knew what was going on around her.

407
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000
We've talked to a lot of them.

408
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000
They've given us information, but I think we all believe

409
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000
that somebody there has more.

410
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Northwest Airlines declined our request

411
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000
to be interviewed for this story.

412
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,000
The authorities are currently investigating

413
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,000
more than one suspect, but lack the evidence to file charges.

414
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,000
In the meantime, the Tereskiewicz family continues

415
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,000
to seek justice in Sue's memory.

416
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Each year, on the anniversary of her death,

417
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
they hold a candlelight vigil at the site

418
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000
where her body was found.

419
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,000
I feel that whoever murdered Susan,

420
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,000
or whoever knows about her murder,

421
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,000
how much longer can you go carrying this guilt?

422
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000
You're going to have to find peace with yourself.

423
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,000
And I'm asking, after three years,

424
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,000
bring peace to yourself, bring peace to us,

425
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,000
take this murderer off the street.

426
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Sue's family recently settled a sexual discrimination lawsuit

427
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000
against Northwest Airlines.

428
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Though the terms are undisclosed,

429
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,000
it is known to be one of the largest discrimination settlements

430
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
ever granted in Massachusetts.

431
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:14,000
The New York Times

432
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Next, a young father is murdered in cold blood

433
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,000
as he arrives at work.

434
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000
They had it all.

435
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,000
A loving marriage, a beautiful daughter,

436
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,000
dreams of a full rich life,

437
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
dreams of what vanished in an instant

438
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:49,000
when Matt Florey's age 26 was gunned down in cold blood.

439
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000
One minute in your life was great.

440
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,000
We had everything.

441
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000
And the next minute, it was shattered.

442
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,000
A part of me died that day, that I'll never get back.

443
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000
And I'll never be the same person again.

444
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,000
I don't look at things the same way.

445
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,000
And I lost everything that day.

446
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,000
When Matt and Denise married in 1990,

447
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,000
their friends called it the wedding of the century.

448
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Matt was a second lieutenant in the army,

449
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,000
who later served with distinction

450
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000
in Operation Desert Storm.

451
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Once Matt came home to Fort Stewart in Georgia,

452
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,000
he and Denise started a family.

453
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,000
In July of 1993, Danielle was born.

454
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Eight months later, Matt began a promising career

455
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000
as an engineer at Applied Materials Incorporated,

456
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,000
a computer company based in California's Silicon Valley.

457
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,000
It was our new start in life as a family,

458
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,000
us making decisions as to the military.

459
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000
This was his dream come true.

460
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,000
He finished with the military, he'd done everything right,

461
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,000
and now he had landed the job of his dreams.

462
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,000
March 24, 1994,

463
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Matt's ninth day at his new job.

464
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,000
That morning, he was driving a white Chevy Corsica,

465
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000
which a company had rented for him.

466
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,000
At around 8, 12 a.m., Matt arrived at work.

467
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,000
He parked in an unassigned space in the middle of the lot.

468
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Nearby, another employee sat listening

469
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,000
to a talk show on her car radio.

470
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Yes, sir.

471
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Yes, I am.

472
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,000
How am I speaking with?

473
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,000
Oh, I'm in traffic.

474
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Chris, Chris, we're taking a poll this morning,

475
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000
and we're going to give you the giveaway tickets.

476
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,000
If you can answer this question correctly,

477
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
how many members will be in the poll?

478
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,000
And who will be on the poll list?

479
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,000
Are you okay?

480
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,000
Oh, God!

481
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Oh, oh, my God!

482
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,000
The female witness realized that he'd been shot

483
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,000
and then ran to another person for help

484
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000
and then also ran to a shuttle bus

485
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,000
to try and get somebody to call 911

486
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,000
and ask for more help.

487
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Shot, call security!

488
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Approximately four or five uniformed officers

489
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,000
responded immediately, including a field supervisor.

490
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Paramedics and fire also responded immediately,

491
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,000
but they were not able to revive him

492
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,000
and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

493
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,000
Matt Florey's had been shot once in the back of the head

494
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,000
at Point Blank Range.

495
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Matt probably never saw his killer,

496
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
and incredibly, no one else did either,

497
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
even though there were more than 20 people

498
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000
in the parking lot at the time.

499
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Well, they said that he was assassinated, basically.

500
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,000
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

501
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,000
I kept thinking, this is not happening.

502
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,000
This is not happening.

503
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,000
He was never involved in anything

504
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,000
in terms of drugs gambling,

505
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
fooling around, any of the things

506
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,000
that you would think would lead to...

507
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
being murdered, nothing.

508
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
We couldn't find anybody that didn't like Matt,

509
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,000
and not only did they not like him,

510
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,000
everybody we met,

511
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,000
he was somebody you'd be proud to have

512
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,000
as a son or a brother.

513
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000
He had no dark or secret side to him.

514
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,000
This does not make sense.

515
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000
The investigation was hampered by a terrible piece of bad luck.

516
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Despite the presence of several security cameras

517
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000
trained on the parking lot,

518
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000
the killing itself took place in a blind spot

519
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
just out of view.

520
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,000
However, one of the cameras did give the police

521
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,000
their most significant lead.

522
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000
They have asked us not to broadcast the tape,

523
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
but what you are about to see

524
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,000
is a precise recreation of what the tape reveals.

525
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000
About 20 minutes before the shooting,

526
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,000
there was a two-door sport model, Ford Explorer,

527
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,000
that came into the parking lot

528
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000
and parked in one of the parking stalls,

529
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,000
facing directly into the video camera lens.

530
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
A few seconds later,

531
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,000
a two-door white Ford probe

532
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,000
came in the same lane that Matt would take later.

533
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,000
The Explorer backed up,

534
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
followed the white probe.

535
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,000
The Ford probe could look something like Matt's

536
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,000
rental, which was a white Chevy Corsica.

537
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
About four minutes before the shooting,

538
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,000
we see that same Explorer exiting the parking lot,

539
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,000
and then about three minutes before the shooting,

540
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,000
we see the vehicle come back into the parking lot

541
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,000
and go in the direction of where the shooting occurred.

542
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,000
At 8.12 a.m., two minutes before the shooting,

543
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000
two cars enter the lot.

544
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,000
One is driven by the female eyewitness,

545
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,000
the other by Matt Flores.

546
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,000
At 8.14, the murder takes place just out of camera range.

547
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Approximately 20 seconds later,

548
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,000
the Ford Explorer is seen leaving the parking lot

549
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000
for the last time.

550
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
By all accounts, the Explorer is a suspicious vehicle.

551
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,000
I think if somebody were to watch the videotape

552
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
and see the activities of the vehicle that morning,

553
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,000
and to see it leave right after Matt was shot,

554
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,000
they certainly could say that the vehicle

555
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000
was stalking Matt that morning.

556
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,000
Because the Explorer initially followed a car

557
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
that looked like Matt's,

558
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Sergeant Teal believes the murder may have been

559
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,000
a case of mistaken identity.

560
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Perhaps somebody went to that parking lot that morning

561
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,000
to do harm to somebody else,

562
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,000
and they got the wrong person.

563
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,000
Whoever did this to him,

564
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,000
I want them to know

565
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,000
what they've taken, not only from Matt,

566
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,000
but what they've taken from myself and Danielle and his family.

567
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,000
I don't think she remembers them anymore.

568
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,000
She was too little.

569
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,000
I plan on showing her all the videos that we have,

570
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,000
so she knows what kind of a daddy that she had.

571
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
But at the same time,

572
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,000
she won't know what it feels like for daddy to hug her.

573
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000
A $100,000 award is being offered

574
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,000
by Applied Materials, Inc. for information

575
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000
leading to the arrest and prosecution

576
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,000
of Matt Florey's killer.

577
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,000
To date, the authorities most substantial clue

578
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,000
is the Ford Explorer,

579
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
which was videotaped in the parking lot.

580
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,000
The vehicle is a two-door sport model

581
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,000
manufactured between 1991 and 1994.

582
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,000
It has a distinctive black trim on its lower panels.

583
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
When we return, in Florida,

584
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000
an accused killer is on the run,

585
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
and authorities need your help

586
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,000
to track him down.

587
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
January 11, 1995,

588
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,000
a Pasco County courthouse in Dade City, Florida.

589
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,000
A murder suspect, Albert Leon Fletcher.

590
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,000
What are you looking at?

591
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000
He's running!

592
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000
He's running!

593
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000
In police lingo,

594
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Albert Leon Fletcher was in the wind.

595
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Fletcher is a felon with a violent criminal history

596
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
dating back to age 15.

597
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
He is currently accused of armed robbery,

598
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,000
aggravated assault and battery, and murder.

599
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,000
Amazingly, all the charges stem

600
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000
from a single 24-hour period.

601
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,000
It began on April Fool's Day, 1993.

602
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,000
That night, Fletcher and his cousin Douglas Porter

603
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,000
allegedly broke into a home in Dade City, Florida.

604
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,000
They stole several guns, including a sawed-off shotgun.

605
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000
The rampage was on.

606
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
April 2, 10 p.m.,

607
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Lakeland, Florida.

608
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Two couples pulled up in front of a grocery store.

609
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Fletcher and Porter pulled up right behind them.

610
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000
Oh, yeah.

611
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
You wanna get in with us? Go play?

612
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Come on.

613
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Come on. Come on.

614
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Come on. I wanna play with you.

615
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Come on. I love you.

616
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Hey! Hey! What's your problem?

617
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000
They start yelling at me, you know,

618
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
hey, you better get your, you know,

619
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
what back in the car.

620
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,000
At that time, you know, something come over me.

621
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,000
I was just enraged, and I took off after him.

622
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Come on, man.

623
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Come on, man.

624
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Get him, Doug.

625
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Come on.

626
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,000
They poked the barrel right in my eye.

627
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,000
The only thing I could think of is to get the gun out of my face.

628
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,000
I'm gonna get him.

629
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,000
I'm gonna get him.

630
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000
I'm gonna get him.

631
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
I'm gonna get him.

632
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,000
He was so angry that I couldn't think of

633
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,000
as to get the gun out of my face, so I pushed it forward.

634
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,000
I thought they were out to really hurt somebody that night.

635
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,000
They were on a mission to kill somebody,

636
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,000
mess with somebody all night long, you know,

637
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,000
and they didn't have any remorse whatsoever

638
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,000
for what they were doing.

639
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,000
11 p.m., 16-year-old Jason Hartman

640
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,800
Hey, what do you want?

641
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:45,700
Open the door.

642
00:34:45,700 --> 00:34:46,600
No.

643
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:47,600
Open the door now.

644
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,000
No.

645
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,400
Open the damn door.

646
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:56,400
Open up!

647
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:57,400
Hurry up!

648
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,400
What's the matter?

649
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,400
Look, you got to call the police.

650
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,400
This guy out there just tried to steal my car.

651
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:04,400
Come on.

652
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,400
Come on, get it.

653
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,400
Fletcher gave up on the car and took off with Porter.

654
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,400
He's not going to let me in.

655
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,400
For the second time that night, they left behind a victim

656
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,400
who knew we had just gotten very lucky.

657
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:27,400
Two hours later, a lonely stretch of highway outside town.

658
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:28,400
Get him.

659
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:29,400
Let's get him.

660
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:30,400
Come on.

661
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:39,400
Come on, man.

662
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:42,400
Come on.

663
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,400
Give me your money.

664
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:52,400
Come on.

665
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:53,400
Give me the wallet.

666
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:54,400
Give me your wallet.

667
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,400
Come on, let's go.

668
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,400
Come on.

669
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,400
What was that all about?

670
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,400
Let's get out of here, man.

671
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:06,400
What's going on?

672
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:07,400
He just went off.

673
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:08,400
I don't know.

674
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,400
Get out of here.

675
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:10,400
Hurry up.

676
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:15,400
Police identified the murdered man as 32-year-old Nelson

677
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:16,400
Medina.

678
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:20,400
He left behind a wife and two young children.

679
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,400
While police were at the scene of Medina's death,

680
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,400
another officer spotted Fletcher and Porter across town.

681
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,400
Driver, step out of the vehicle, please.

682
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,400
I need to see some identification.

683
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:39,400
You too.

684
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:40,400
What's the problem?

685
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,400
Just going to see some ID.

686
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,400
I knew at the scene of the murder, based on the expended rifle

687
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,400
casing and the wound of Medina, that I was looking at someone

688
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,400
with a rifle and a shotgun.

689
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,400
Fletcher and Porter were charged with first degree murder

690
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,400
and scheduled to be tried separately.

691
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,400
Douglas Porter was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

692
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,400
But Albert Leon Fletcher escaped before he could be brought to trial.

693
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,400
He hasn't been seen since.

694
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,400
I worked homicide for nine years.

695
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:24,400
During that time, I've met two people that I consider to be

696
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,400
social pass.

697
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,400
A person without a conscience.

698
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:29,400
Lee Fletcher is one.

699
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,400
Through our investigation, we have been told that he has made

700
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,400
statements to relatives that he would not be taken alive

701
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,400
and is extremely dangerous and possibly armed.

702
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:03,400
Next.

703
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,400
Many researchers believe twins are linked by a mysterious psychic bond.

704
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,400
But what happens to that bond if one twin dies?

705
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:15,400
Consider the intriguing case of Elvis Presley and his deceased twin brother.

706
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:22,400
Elvis Presley, the king of rock and roll.

707
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:27,400
Everyone knows the life story of the shy teenager turned superstar.

708
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,400
But who'd have felt this had a twin?

709
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:35,400
Imagine the story of Elvis Presley and his deceased twin brother.

710
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,400
Elvis Presley, the king of rock and roll.

711
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,400
Elvis Presley, the king of rock and roll.

712
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,400
But what if Elvis had a twin?

713
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,400
Imagine two Elvis's performing on stage at the same time.

714
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,400
It's not that far fetched.

715
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,400
Few people know that Elvis Presley was haunted his entire life

716
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,400
by the specter of his dead twin brother, Jesse Garen.

717
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,400
Elvis was born in this shotgun shack in East Tupelo, Mississippi.

718
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:17,400
Records show that his twin brother's birth preceded his own by more than half an hour.

719
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:24,400
Tragically by the time Elvis was born, Jesse Garen Presley had already been declared dead.

720
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,400
Jesse was buried in an unmarked grave in this nearby cemetery.

721
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:35,400
Today many believe his death had profound emotional consequences for Elvis,

722
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,400
serving as a driving force behind both his creative genius

723
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,400
and his self-destructive tendencies.

724
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,400
When Elvis was a child, five, six years old,

725
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,400
he used to tell me that he used to hear a voice inside of his head.

726
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:55,400
And he used to confuse him. And he used to scare him a little bit.

727
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,400
And he was afraid to mention it to anyone.

728
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,400
He thought perhaps it was his brother Jesse communicating to him,

729
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,400
telling him what to do.

730
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,400
Music was Elvis's way of communicating with Jesse.

731
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,400
He had been bonded before they were born,

732
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:16,400
inter-uterantly with the rhythm and the voice of the fundamentalist assembly of God Church,

733
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,400
a very important cornerstone for understanding Elvis.

734
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:26,400
Dr. Peter Whitmer has devoted years to studying the psychology of twins,

735
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,400
specifically those who have been separated by death,

736
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,400
whether in the womb or later, as children and adults.

737
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:37,400
The surviving twin is often referred to as a twinless twin.

738
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:45,400
Many twinless twins, including Elvis, tend to become, shall we say superstitious.

739
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:50,400
Elvis would look to his twin for signs of guidance, for signs of strength.

740
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:55,400
Elvis also felt that Jesse was his compass, was a sign of direction,

741
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,400
that Elvis should in fact do great things.

742
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,400
That had the two of them been united, they would have been able to do great things.

743
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:09,400
And that they were separated, Elvis alone had to be the creator, the perfectionist.

744
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:17,400
When Elvis died, there was almost nothing known about the psychology of twinless twins.

745
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:21,400
In fact, there are at least half a million twinless twins in the world today.

746
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,400
They are united by a common yet unexplained phenomenon,

747
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:29,400
the unshakable conviction that the spirit of the lost twin lives on.

748
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:35,400
There's these little happenings where you're really reminded that your twin is not totally gone,

749
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:40,400
that there's little occurrences that happen where you just sense his presence,

750
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,400
not in a physical way, but nonetheless there.

751
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,400
I do feel the presence of someone else in my life.

752
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:53,400
Again, it's only been recently that I've thought to put it in that framework of the twin.

753
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:58,400
I've thought of it more as a guardian angel or a spiritual presence.

754
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,400
For some of us it can be a very recent experience.

755
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:07,400
Dr. Raymond Bratt coined the term twinless twin and is founder of the Twinless Twin Support Group,

756
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,400
which has members nationwide.

757
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:18,400
Twins are unique because there's one thing that a twin, a multiple has, that single birth people do not

758
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,400
and that's called utero bonding.

759
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:27,400
Of course today with ultrasounds and studying twin behaviors in utero,

760
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:33,400
we realize that they hug and what appears to be kissing and even perhaps slugging or pushing at each other,

761
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:40,400
we understand and accept today that utero bonding begins at the moment of conception.

762
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,400
Consider the case of Deanne Scytes.

763
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:53,400
Born as an identical twin, Deanne became twinless when her sister Shannon died just five hours after birth.

764
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:59,400
She may have died 22 years ago, but I can feel her presence all the time.

765
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,400
Shannon's my guardian angel, she watches over me.

766
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:08,400
You know, she kind of makes sure nothing really bad happens to me or my family.

767
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:17,400
In 1994, Deanne had perhaps her most dramatic psychic experience with her lost twin.

768
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,400
She believes her sister saved her life.

769
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,400
I was on my way to work.

770
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:31,400
It was about nine o'clock in the morning and I was going down the off ramp and this feeling came over me.

771
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:40,400
I could feel Shannon's presence really strong next to me and then almost like her presence came over me

772
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:47,400
and had me pull over to the right and then stop and then not even five seconds later.

773
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:56,400
Shannon was telling me to pull over before I got hit.

774
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,400
It wasn't as if she said, you know, hello, I'm here.

775
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,400
It's just the feeling and the security of her being around.

776
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:11,400
Because my twin died in the womb, I lived and she died.

777
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:16,400
There's a sense that I've carried with me forever that somehow I took too much.

778
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,400
For example, I must have eaten all the food or, you know, I was the one who lived

779
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:25,400
and I carried a deep sense of guilt about being here.

780
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,400
That is the downside, the guilt.

781
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:35,400
Many people believe it is guilt that drives twinless twins to great heights or to the depths of self-destruction.

782
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:41,400
Some say the root cause of Elvis Presley's personal torment was his grieving

783
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,400
and feelings of responsibility for his twin brother's death.

784
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:50,400
Larry Geller recalls a conversation which took place a year before Elvis passed away.

785
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,400
And I sat down with him and he said, man, I had a dream the other night.

786
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,400
I can't get it out of my head. I gotta tell you.

787
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,400
There I was with my twin brother, Jesse.

788
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,400
He had the same hairstyle, the sideburns, the same eyes.

789
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,400
One spotlight on him, one spotlight on me.

790
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,400
Larry, the strangest thing.

791
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,400
I started to feel guilty.

792
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:21,400
I felt like I did something wrong and I don't know why. It's the weirdest feeling.

793
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:27,400
And I said, well, maybe it's kind of simple. You lived and he didn't.

794
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:37,400
Elvis never was able to resolve his psychological angst over the death of Jesse.

795
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:41,400
It was something that was at the core of all of his behavior.

796
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:48,400
From my perspective, his substance abuse, his self-abuse in general, his working himself to death

797
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,400
was the desire to reunite with Jesse.

798
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:57,400
I remember one time we were talking and he was telling me about his mother.

799
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:02,400
He used to question her about his twin brother, Jesse Geller.

800
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:09,400
And she said to him, Elvis, God took your twin brother back home to heaven

801
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:13,400
and someday we'll all be together again.

802
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:18,400
And Elvis said to me, Lawrence, I believe that.

803
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:22,400
We're all going home someday. I'm going to be with my twin brother again.

804
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:31,400
For now, Medical Science has no valid explanation for the apparent psychic experiences of twinless twins.

805
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:36,400
And though some might see twinless twins as leading troubled lives,

806
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:40,400
the twins themselves believe that they have been gifted.

807
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:54,400
Next time on Unsaid Mysteries, he is one of the most notorious murderers in history.

808
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:59,400
He claimed 49 lives over a two-year period, but he was never brought to justice.

809
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:07,400
In a special report, we'll bring you an exclusive interview with a man who believes his own brother was the infamous Green River Killer.

810
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:14,400
Join me again next Friday for another intriguing edition of Unsaid Mysteries.

811
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:34,400
