181 00:10:01,900 --> 00:10:03,900 It would be ten months before Karen was ready. 182 00:10:04,900 --> 00:10:07,900 The trigger was an incident where she and Cepulonis were caught 183 00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:09,900 allegedly having sex on the prison grounds. 184 00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:14,900 As a result, Karen was indefinitely barred from visiting her husband. 185 00:10:17,900 --> 00:10:19,900 Three weeks later, on a chilly September morning, 186 00:10:19,900 --> 00:10:23,900 Karen apparently drove to an isolated spot about a mile from the prison. 187 00:10:24,900 --> 00:10:27,900 In her pocket, $20,000 in cash. 188 00:10:27,900 --> 00:10:29,900 Her entire life savings. 189 00:10:31,900 --> 00:10:34,900 At around noon, Richard Cepulonis appeared. 190 00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:37,900 He had simply walked away from the prison grounds. 191 00:10:39,900 --> 00:10:40,900 I was so worried. 192 00:10:40,900 --> 00:10:41,900 I didn't know what had happened. 193 00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:47,900 Karen Waters had made her choice. 194 00:10:47,900 --> 00:10:48,900 You're in the back seat. 195 00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:49,900 Shall I get a... 196 00:10:49,900 --> 00:10:52,900 She left behind her career and her family for the life of a fugitive 197 00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:55,900 on the run with Richard Cepulonis. 198 00:10:58,900 --> 00:11:01,900 Eleven years would pass before anyone knew where Richard Cepulonis 199 00:11:01,900 --> 00:11:03,900 and Karen Walters were hiding. 200 00:11:03,900 --> 00:11:06,900 Let's go to Keely Shae Smith to find out what happened. 201 00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:12,900 After a recent broadcast, a viewer in Minneapolis who had done business 202 00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:15,900 with a couple recognized Karen's photograph, 203 00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:19,900 a task force which included the local police and FBI was mobilized, 204 00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:21,900 and the house was staked out. 205 00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:26,900 On October 1st, 1996, officers observed Richard Cepulonis 206 00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:30,900 leave his residence and drive to a nearby convenience store. 207 00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:35,900 As soon as he pulled into the parking lot and got out of the vehicle, 208 00:11:35,900 --> 00:11:39,900 one of the task force members was right there with him, 209 00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:44,900 so he jumped out, drew his weapon, ordered Cepulonis not to move, 210 00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:47,900 and at that point other task force members got there, 211 00:11:47,900 --> 00:11:50,900 jumped out and assisted in the arrest. 212 00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:54,900 Karen Walters was picked up 20 minutes later. 213 00:11:54,900 --> 00:11:58,900 For eight years, she and Cepulonis had completely fooled their neighbors. 214 00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:03,900 When I found out that they were who they were, I was shocked. 215 00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:06,900 I couldn't believe it. My mouth fell to the floor. 216 00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:13,900 I never would imagine in a million years that these two people would do anything wrong. 217 00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:17,900 A bag of robbery paraphernalia found inside the hideout 218 00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:20,900 gave authorities a much different impression. 219 00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:26,900 The discovery of the bag with the face mask, the gun, the rubber gloves, 220 00:12:26,900 --> 00:12:31,900 the large amount of cash and small bills, 221 00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:36,900 we think that perhaps he's been back in the bank robbery or robbery business again. 222 00:12:50,900 --> 00:12:54,900 A Along the Roof 223 00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:08,900 Coming up, two young lovers fall victim to a vicious killer. 224 00:13:08,900 --> 00:13:13,900 Did their involvement with a role-playing fantasy game lead to their deaths? 225 00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:18,900 But first, around the Civil War battlefield in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, 226 00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:21,660 history comes alive in a most unnerving fashion. 227 00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:39,180 The obvious scars have healed. 228 00:13:39,180 --> 00:13:42,660 But 132 years ago, at the height of the Civil War, 229 00:13:42,660 --> 00:13:44,740 this was hell on earth. 230 00:13:44,740 --> 00:13:47,220 Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. 231 00:13:47,220 --> 00:13:51,020 The Confederate and Union armies, 170,000 strong, 232 00:13:51,020 --> 00:13:54,020 converged on the small town of 2,400, 233 00:13:54,020 --> 00:13:58,740 both sides dead set and determined not to yield an inch. 234 00:13:58,740 --> 00:14:02,820 Three days of ferocious combat left some 50,000 casualties. 235 00:14:02,820 --> 00:14:05,780 The creeks literally ran red with blood. 236 00:14:05,780 --> 00:14:07,860 Some say Gettysburg is still haunted 237 00:14:07,860 --> 00:14:12,260 by the ghosts of those cut down before their time. 238 00:14:12,260 --> 00:14:14,820 At Gettysburg, there was so much emotional energy 239 00:14:14,820 --> 00:14:17,460 expended in such a short period of time. 240 00:14:17,460 --> 00:14:21,180 From the 15-year-old kid who was scared to death 241 00:14:21,180 --> 00:14:25,060 that he'd never make it home, or the 40-year-old man who'd 242 00:14:25,060 --> 00:14:27,420 just been shot through the lungs and was dying 243 00:14:27,420 --> 00:14:30,340 and thinking about his family, so much emotional energy 244 00:14:30,340 --> 00:14:31,860 was expended at Gettysburg. 245 00:14:31,860 --> 00:14:37,540 You have to think that some of it must remain. 246 00:14:37,540 --> 00:14:40,220 Many of the ghosts have been reported by civil war buffs 247 00:14:40,220 --> 00:14:42,100 known as reenactors. 248 00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:44,500 Rest in period costumes, they restage 249 00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:46,980 the epic battle of Gettysburg blow by blow. 250 00:14:51,060 --> 00:14:53,500 Ray Hawk says he and a friend were taking a break 251 00:14:53,500 --> 00:14:55,220 from one of these mocks skirmishes 252 00:14:55,220 --> 00:14:57,420 when they were approached by a haggard figure, 253 00:14:57,420 --> 00:15:01,420 too realistic to be just another reenactor. 254 00:15:01,420 --> 00:15:04,060 I think I've seen a ghost. 255 00:15:04,060 --> 00:15:07,500 I think this guy had original equipment on, original coat. 256 00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:10,820 Everything to me points out that it was original. 257 00:15:10,820 --> 00:15:13,300 Real McCoy. 258 00:15:13,300 --> 00:15:18,220 He smelled, he smelled extremely bad, a sulfur. 259 00:15:18,220 --> 00:15:20,900 And he really looked tired and hollow look 260 00:15:20,900 --> 00:15:22,180 in the face and stuff. 261 00:15:22,180 --> 00:15:23,580 All right, day, huh, boys? 262 00:15:23,580 --> 00:15:24,860 Yeah, it was. 263 00:15:24,860 --> 00:15:27,660 Ray says a soldier handed them each two authentic looking 264 00:15:27,660 --> 00:15:29,180 cartridges. 265 00:15:29,180 --> 00:15:32,820 When they looked up, the mysterious visitor had vanished. 266 00:15:32,820 --> 00:15:34,580 Where'd he go? 267 00:15:34,580 --> 00:15:37,540 I simply don't know where he got to. 268 00:15:37,540 --> 00:15:39,580 I have no clue. 269 00:15:39,620 --> 00:15:43,460 This is one of the four rounds that he gave myself 270 00:15:43,460 --> 00:15:45,300 and my friend. 271 00:15:45,300 --> 00:15:47,780 Live ammunition hasn't been allowed at Gettysburg 272 00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:49,540 for 100 years. 273 00:15:49,540 --> 00:15:52,900 But according to Ray Hawk, a university expert determined 274 00:15:52,900 --> 00:15:55,060 that the cartridges, powder and all, 275 00:15:55,060 --> 00:15:57,780 were genuine civil war issue. 276 00:15:57,780 --> 00:15:59,220 Vintage 1863. 277 00:16:02,740 --> 00:16:06,100 The battle of Gettysburg raged for three long days. 278 00:16:06,140 --> 00:16:09,660 Each evening, darkness brought a lull in the fighting. 279 00:16:09,660 --> 00:16:11,180 The morning of the wounded and dying 280 00:16:11,180 --> 00:16:13,460 filled the hot, humid air. 281 00:16:13,460 --> 00:16:15,220 Soldiers who had survived picked their way 282 00:16:15,220 --> 00:16:18,660 through the battlefield, searching for missing comrades. 283 00:16:18,660 --> 00:16:21,500 A search that some believe continues to this day. 284 00:16:29,140 --> 00:16:33,940 In the summer of 1993, the 130th anniversary of the battle, 285 00:16:33,980 --> 00:16:35,580 a group of friends were at Gettysburg 286 00:16:35,580 --> 00:16:37,820 for a weekend of reenactments. 287 00:16:37,820 --> 00:16:41,460 One evening, they hiked along a creek called Bloody Run. 288 00:16:41,460 --> 00:16:42,340 Keep your hand in mind. 289 00:16:42,340 --> 00:16:42,940 Don't let go. 290 00:16:42,940 --> 00:16:43,940 You'll be OK. 291 00:16:43,940 --> 00:16:47,260 I was walking along with my wife, 292 00:16:47,260 --> 00:16:49,980 and she had stopped me about halfway up the trail. 293 00:16:49,980 --> 00:16:52,580 Look out! 294 00:16:52,580 --> 00:16:54,900 He appeared to be a man laying there, 295 00:16:54,900 --> 00:16:57,980 but he wasn't solid like you and I are. 296 00:16:57,980 --> 00:17:04,500 I mean, he was more of a hazy mist. 297 00:17:04,500 --> 00:17:06,420 He was shivering because it looked 298 00:17:06,420 --> 00:17:09,060 like he was in a lot of pain. 299 00:17:09,060 --> 00:17:11,020 I couldn't go no further. 300 00:17:11,020 --> 00:17:14,740 Emotionally, I broke down and cried. 301 00:17:14,740 --> 00:17:16,180 I was shaken. 302 00:17:16,180 --> 00:17:18,740 I had to actually have somebody come back and lead me out 303 00:17:18,740 --> 00:17:19,260 of the trail. 304 00:17:22,100 --> 00:17:23,860 Richard and his wife are the only ones 305 00:17:23,860 --> 00:17:25,900 who had seen the apparition. 306 00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:28,820 Soon after, Richard's brother David and a few others 307 00:17:28,820 --> 00:17:32,100 headed out towards an area called the Slaughter Pan. 308 00:17:32,100 --> 00:17:33,180 They didn't get far. 309 00:17:38,260 --> 00:17:39,260 Did you see that? 310 00:17:39,260 --> 00:17:40,340 No, no, see what? 311 00:17:40,340 --> 00:17:41,940 Over there! 312 00:17:41,940 --> 00:17:44,940 The phantom was gone, but the sounds of the night 313 00:17:44,940 --> 00:17:48,260 suggested they were still not alone. 314 00:17:48,260 --> 00:17:53,340 I was hearing cannon shots and drum rolls 315 00:17:53,340 --> 00:17:55,020 and men marching on the road. 316 00:17:55,020 --> 00:17:55,780 We've got to go. 317 00:17:55,780 --> 00:17:56,580 Come on, come on, come on. 318 00:17:56,580 --> 00:17:57,180 All right, all right. 319 00:17:57,180 --> 00:17:58,580 It sounded like it was getting closer. 320 00:17:58,580 --> 00:17:59,340 Leave the house! 321 00:17:59,340 --> 00:18:01,140 So I said to everybody, OK, let's go. 322 00:18:01,140 --> 00:18:04,180 It's time to go. 323 00:18:04,180 --> 00:18:08,580 We had a thing in Vietnam called the Thousand Yards Stair. 324 00:18:08,580 --> 00:18:13,260 And that's when a soldier saw too much too often. 325 00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:16,820 Ron Waddell talked to a member of the group the following day. 326 00:18:16,820 --> 00:18:19,500 And one of the young men definitely 327 00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:22,860 had that the next morning when I saw him. 328 00:18:22,860 --> 00:18:28,020 He had experienced something which went beyond the normal. 329 00:18:28,020 --> 00:18:31,660 The patterns that emerge tell me that something's going on 330 00:18:31,660 --> 00:18:34,260 out there other than just individual sightings. 331 00:18:34,260 --> 00:18:36,700 When two or three or four different people 332 00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:40,700 at different times describe seeing the same thing, 333 00:18:40,700 --> 00:18:43,460 then you know that something else is going on out there, 334 00:18:43,460 --> 00:18:46,900 something unexplainable. 335 00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:50,420 The terror of Gettysburg was not limited to the battlefield. 336 00:18:50,420 --> 00:18:53,700 Army surgeons deluged with a wounded, lacking medicine 337 00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:56,060 and proper instruments handled most injuries 338 00:18:56,060 --> 00:18:57,980 with one quick treatment. 339 00:18:57,980 --> 00:19:00,580 Amputation. 340 00:19:00,580 --> 00:19:03,620 Many of the men underwent amputations of limbs 341 00:19:03,620 --> 00:19:05,580 without any anesthetic whatsoever, 342 00:19:05,580 --> 00:19:09,260 except perhaps a shot of good old fashioned army whiskey. 343 00:19:09,260 --> 00:19:12,580 So the Civil War Hospital then was probably 344 00:19:12,580 --> 00:19:14,780 as close to a descent into hell on Earth 345 00:19:14,780 --> 00:19:19,300 as these Civil War soldiers would have ever gotten to. 346 00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:21,220 This building, Pennsylvania Hall, 347 00:19:21,220 --> 00:19:24,300 served as a field hospital during the battle. 348 00:19:24,300 --> 00:19:26,940 Today it houses the offices of Gettysburg College, 349 00:19:26,940 --> 00:19:29,300 a four year liberal arts school. 350 00:19:29,300 --> 00:19:32,140 But the cries of the wounded still echo here. 351 00:19:32,140 --> 00:19:34,300 At least that's what two school administrators 352 00:19:34,300 --> 00:19:37,780 reported several years ago. 353 00:19:37,780 --> 00:19:40,020 It was late, close to midnight. 354 00:19:40,020 --> 00:19:43,740 The two women were alone in the building, or so they thought. 355 00:19:43,740 --> 00:19:45,700 Did you press one? 356 00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:46,700 Yeah. 357 00:19:46,700 --> 00:19:48,700 Hm. 358 00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:50,900 Maybe somebody in the basement. 359 00:19:54,900 --> 00:19:56,900 Oh my God. 360 00:19:56,900 --> 00:19:57,900 What is this? 361 00:19:57,900 --> 00:19:58,900 What's going on here? 362 00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:09,300 The stench of a hospital was all around. 363 00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:11,500 And as they peered out of this, of course, 364 00:20:11,500 --> 00:20:12,380 they began to panic. 365 00:20:12,380 --> 00:20:13,380 There was no place to go. 366 00:20:19,700 --> 00:20:22,780 Suddenly one of the orderlies turned to them 367 00:20:22,780 --> 00:20:26,140 and looked at them beseechingly as if he needed help 368 00:20:26,140 --> 00:20:27,900 with this horrible task that he was doing, 369 00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:32,140 or perhaps help to get out of this forced incarceration 370 00:20:32,140 --> 00:20:34,900 he'd been in for the last 13 decades. 371 00:20:38,740 --> 00:20:41,460 The two officials were so shaken by their experience 372 00:20:41,460 --> 00:20:44,380 that they have never granted a formal interview. 373 00:20:44,380 --> 00:20:47,020 That night, however, they told a whole story 374 00:20:47,060 --> 00:20:50,100 to a campus security officer. 375 00:20:50,100 --> 00:20:54,420 I would have to say that something frightened them. 376 00:20:54,420 --> 00:20:59,460 I can't explain it, although I don't believe in ghosts. 377 00:20:59,460 --> 00:21:01,780 I guess to a certain extent, I believe that they saw maybe 378 00:21:01,780 --> 00:21:05,180 what they said they saw, only because I 379 00:21:05,180 --> 00:21:07,740 know them as credible people. 380 00:21:07,740 --> 00:21:09,500 Are such ghostly sightings of products 381 00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:11,780 of overheated imagination? 382 00:21:11,780 --> 00:21:14,540 Shadows transformed into apparitions, 383 00:21:14,580 --> 00:21:17,540 fireflies seen as lantern lights. 384 00:21:17,540 --> 00:21:19,980 Or is it possible that the spirits of soldiers 385 00:21:19,980 --> 00:21:23,100 who breathe their last at Gettysburg remain here, 386 00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:25,140 eternally in search of peace? 387 00:21:30,660 --> 00:21:33,980 In a moment, long-distance trucker Devon Williams 388 00:21:33,980 --> 00:21:36,420 was known as a dependable family man. 389 00:21:36,420 --> 00:21:38,820 Then he took a wild detour off the highway 390 00:21:38,820 --> 00:21:41,900 and mysteriously disappeared. 391 00:21:41,900 --> 00:21:44,740 And later, a secluded lover's lane, 392 00:21:44,740 --> 00:21:47,860 an unknown intruder, a brutal double murder, 393 00:21:47,860 --> 00:21:49,700 and a possible link to the occult. 394 00:22:03,020 --> 00:22:04,540 Many of the mysteries we profiled 395 00:22:04,540 --> 00:22:07,660 are just one tantalizing clue from solution. 396 00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:10,300 A key eyewitness, the missing telephone number, 397 00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:12,220 a clear fingerprint. 398 00:22:12,220 --> 00:22:14,540 But in the bizarre case of a missing truck driver, 399 00:22:14,540 --> 00:22:16,940 absolutely nothing adds up. 400 00:22:16,940 --> 00:22:18,580 Clues never yield answers. 401 00:22:18,580 --> 00:22:20,740 They only raise more and more questions. 402 00:22:24,340 --> 00:22:28,540 Memorial Day weekend, 1995, Arizona's Tonto National 403 00:22:28,540 --> 00:22:29,440 Forest. 404 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:36,100 The last thing any of the campers 405 00:22:36,100 --> 00:22:38,340 expected to see crashing through the woods 406 00:22:38,380 --> 00:22:41,780 was a 10-ton semi truck. 407 00:22:41,780 --> 00:22:43,500 Linda, look at this. 408 00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:46,420 Kind of astonished to see a large truck like that 409 00:22:46,420 --> 00:22:49,020 on those roads, because the roads are not 410 00:22:49,020 --> 00:22:51,180 that passable by that large of a vehicle. 411 00:22:51,180 --> 00:22:52,820 Usually, most of the vehicles we have up there 412 00:22:52,820 --> 00:22:55,740 are four-wheel drive. 413 00:22:55,740 --> 00:22:58,580 The 18-wheeler thundered back and forth several times 414 00:22:58,580 --> 00:22:58,980 that morning. 415 00:23:03,900 --> 00:23:07,900 Two other campers at a frighteningly close encounter. 416 00:23:08,020 --> 00:23:08,700 What was he trying to do? 417 00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:09,600 Was there something? 418 00:23:13,620 --> 00:23:15,500 They said he never looked at them 419 00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:17,860 as if he recognized there was someone there. 420 00:23:17,860 --> 00:23:21,460 There was no expression on his face at all. 421 00:23:21,460 --> 00:23:23,380 God, this guy's coming back to mad, man. 422 00:23:23,380 --> 00:23:25,820 He didn't attempt to slow down or look over to see 423 00:23:25,820 --> 00:23:27,220 if they needed help or anything. 424 00:23:27,220 --> 00:23:30,620 He just kept on going. 425 00:23:30,620 --> 00:23:32,980 Later that day, a carload of picnickers 426 00:23:32,980 --> 00:23:35,940 came upon the truck, now mired in a field. 427 00:23:35,940 --> 00:23:38,660 They spoke with a man they believed to be the driver. 428 00:23:38,660 --> 00:23:44,060 Hey, how did you get in here? 429 00:23:44,060 --> 00:23:46,220 They made me do it. 430 00:23:46,220 --> 00:23:48,020 What? 431 00:23:48,020 --> 00:23:50,620 You can't help me. 432 00:23:50,620 --> 00:23:52,060 I'll never get it out of here. 433 00:23:52,060 --> 00:23:53,420 I'm going to jail. 434 00:23:53,420 --> 00:23:57,860 When he said whatever it was with jail as his last word, 435 00:23:57,860 --> 00:24:02,180 I envisioned a hostage situation of hijacking, 436 00:24:02,180 --> 00:24:03,820 kidnapping, whatever. 437 00:24:03,820 --> 00:24:07,060 A jailbreak, maybe, and someone had a gun 438 00:24:07,060 --> 00:24:09,340 on someone in the cab. 439 00:24:09,340 --> 00:24:12,660 He made no effort to keep us there, 440 00:24:12,660 --> 00:24:16,500 no effort to ask for help, do anything for him. 441 00:24:19,100 --> 00:24:21,900 Late Sunday afternoon, Deputy Dean Wells 442 00:24:21,900 --> 00:24:25,340 followed up a bizarre report that the 48-foot semi was 443 00:24:25,340 --> 00:24:28,500 marooned in the heart of the forest. 444 00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:31,180 When I initially got the call, it really surprised me 445 00:24:31,180 --> 00:24:34,860 that an 18-wheeler would go down that road. 446 00:24:34,860 --> 00:24:37,060 It actually came on to the 18-wheeler. 447 00:24:37,060 --> 00:24:40,100 It was kind of a matter of awe. 448 00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:42,100 It was extremely strange to me. 449 00:24:42,100 --> 00:24:45,300 2 King A3, hobby 1097. 450 00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:48,420 The cargo, some 1,200 boxes of lettuce and strawberries, 451 00:24:48,420 --> 00:24:50,140 appeared intact and undisturbed. 452 00:24:53,820 --> 00:24:55,460 The refrigeration unit was running. 453 00:24:58,220 --> 00:24:59,580 The cab was locked. 454 00:24:59,580 --> 00:25:04,500 The man Charles Hall had spoken with earlier had vanished. 455 00:25:04,500 --> 00:25:07,380 When Deputy Wells checked the national crime computer, 456 00:25:07,380 --> 00:25:11,820 he found no reports of either a missing truck or driver. 457 00:25:11,820 --> 00:25:16,140 I did not find any indication of foul play there at the scene. 458 00:25:16,140 --> 00:25:19,060 The inside of the cab appeared to be very clean. 459 00:25:19,060 --> 00:25:25,500 I could not answer at all why the 18-wheeler was back in there. 460 00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:27,900 The following afternoon, another sighting. 461 00:25:30,940 --> 00:25:33,380 The gentleman is, his mouth is moving. 462 00:25:33,380 --> 00:25:36,060 We can hear sounds, but like a mumble, 463 00:25:36,060 --> 00:25:38,580 there's nothing coherent that we can make out 464 00:25:38,580 --> 00:25:39,660 that he's saying. 465 00:25:39,660 --> 00:25:41,220 He's looking at a tree. 466 00:25:41,220 --> 00:25:42,880 He doesn't turn to look at us when 467 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,380 Jack is asking him the questions. 468 00:25:45,380 --> 00:25:48,340 Hey, mister, can we help you? 469 00:25:48,340 --> 00:25:49,940 Do you have a campground close by? 470 00:25:50,860 --> 00:25:52,260 I got to light the grill. 471 00:25:52,260 --> 00:25:55,220 He has a $20 bill in his hand, and in front of him 472 00:25:55,220 --> 00:25:56,740 is a flat rock. 473 00:25:56,740 --> 00:25:57,980 We look around. 474 00:25:57,980 --> 00:26:01,900 We don't see anything else around that he would be grilling. 475 00:26:01,900 --> 00:26:04,220 There was nothing else there. 476 00:26:04,220 --> 00:26:06,020 Maybe he wants to help now. 477 00:26:06,020 --> 00:26:07,460 He just threw something at us. 478 00:26:07,460 --> 00:26:08,360 Let's just go. 479 00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:09,260 I think we should leave. 480 00:26:09,260 --> 00:26:10,220 Let's go. 481 00:26:10,220 --> 00:26:12,540 Linda Yarrington and her husband were the last ones 482 00:26:12,540 --> 00:26:14,380 to see the confused young man. 483 00:26:14,420 --> 00:26:17,980 That same day, a long-distance trucker named Devin Williams 484 00:26:17,980 --> 00:26:20,740 turned up missing. 485 00:26:20,740 --> 00:26:25,060 Devin Williams was 29 years old, a husband and father of three. 486 00:26:25,060 --> 00:26:26,740 By all accounts, he was not the type 487 00:26:26,740 --> 00:26:30,700 to dump a fully loaded rig in the middle of a forest. 488 00:26:30,700 --> 00:26:32,940 But the eyewitnesses were positive. 489 00:26:32,940 --> 00:26:36,180 The young man matched photographs of Devin Williams. 490 00:26:36,180 --> 00:26:38,700 Finally, the mystery had a starting point. 491 00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:41,380 The man was a man who was not a man. 492 00:26:42,180 --> 00:26:44,500 Finally, the mystery had a starting point. 493 00:26:47,500 --> 00:26:51,940 On May 23, 1995, Devin Williams had left his home in Kansas 494 00:26:51,940 --> 00:26:54,180 and headed west. 495 00:26:54,180 --> 00:26:57,220 It was a route he had taken many times. 496 00:26:57,220 --> 00:27:00,660 Williams delivered his load in California on schedule. 497 00:27:00,660 --> 00:27:02,940 He picked up new loads for the return trip 498 00:27:02,940 --> 00:27:05,460 and checked in as planned with his boss, Tom Wilson. 499 00:27:05,460 --> 00:27:07,060 OK, let's call him in the morning then. 500 00:27:07,060 --> 00:27:08,020 OK, thank you. 501 00:27:08,020 --> 00:27:10,620 Looking back, I can't see anything out 502 00:27:10,660 --> 00:27:14,860 of the ordinary to make me suspect anything. 503 00:27:14,860 --> 00:27:17,980 Everything indicated it was just a very normal trip 504 00:27:17,980 --> 00:27:23,380 and the time frame and that everything was going real good. 505 00:27:23,380 --> 00:27:26,580 Saturday evening, May 27, Williams rolled into Kingman, 506 00:27:26,580 --> 00:27:27,700 Arizona. 507 00:27:27,700 --> 00:27:31,060 From there, he phoned headquarters for the last time. 508 00:27:31,060 --> 00:27:33,140 I'm going to get back on the road. 509 00:27:33,140 --> 00:27:36,100 By Sunday morning, Devin Williams was off the map, 510 00:27:36,100 --> 00:27:38,860 barreling through the woods miles many highland. 511 00:27:40,620 --> 00:27:42,860 To this day, no one knows why. 512 00:27:42,860 --> 00:27:46,580 None of the theories make sense. 513 00:27:46,580 --> 00:27:49,100 Something happened. 514 00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:52,260 It was not like him to even go off the route, let alone 515 00:27:52,260 --> 00:27:55,140 to be that irrational. 516 00:27:55,140 --> 00:27:57,940 Reports that Williams was disoriented and incoherent 517 00:27:57,940 --> 00:28:01,940 prompted suspicions that he was on drugs. 518 00:28:01,940 --> 00:28:05,740 But that didn't fit Devin Williams. 519 00:28:05,740 --> 00:28:07,420 We'd had no drug problem with him. 520 00:28:07,420 --> 00:28:10,940 He had fasted his drug tests and everything all along 521 00:28:10,940 --> 00:28:13,260 and with no problem. 522 00:28:13,260 --> 00:28:15,700 When you're dealing with people who are missing, 523 00:28:15,700 --> 00:28:16,780 you can point to something. 524 00:28:16,780 --> 00:28:19,980 You can say they have a long criminal history. 525 00:28:19,980 --> 00:28:22,140 They've had severe drug problems. 526 00:28:22,140 --> 00:28:24,020 They've had some mental illness. 527 00:28:24,020 --> 00:28:25,860 None of those things fit. 528 00:28:25,860 --> 00:28:28,540 He didn't appear to be mentally ill. 529 00:28:28,540 --> 00:28:31,940 And nobody that I talked to said that he ever 530 00:28:31,940 --> 00:28:33,700 had any drug problem. 531 00:28:33,700 --> 00:28:37,100 So I simply don't know what was wrong with him. 532 00:28:37,100 --> 00:28:38,940 Certainly, a lot of times, we have people 533 00:28:38,940 --> 00:28:41,380 that want to run away from their responsibilities. 534 00:28:41,380 --> 00:28:43,660 They're having a problem with their wife, with their kids, 535 00:28:43,660 --> 00:28:44,060 whatever. 536 00:28:44,060 --> 00:28:46,740 They simply want to run away. 537 00:28:46,740 --> 00:28:50,740 Had Devin Williams left Job and family to start a new life, 538 00:28:50,740 --> 00:28:53,860 was it significant that Devin's briefcase was in the truck 539 00:28:53,860 --> 00:28:56,780 but his duffel bag and favorite audio tapes were gone? 540 00:29:00,620 --> 00:29:02,900 If Williams had run away, he certainly 541 00:29:02,900 --> 00:29:05,220 concocted an elaborate cover. 542 00:29:05,220 --> 00:29:07,620 His erratic behavior would have to have been an act 543 00:29:07,620 --> 00:29:11,060 performed for a succession of unsuspecting witnesses. 544 00:29:11,060 --> 00:29:12,620 Devin's wife doesn't buy it. 545 00:29:15,500 --> 00:29:17,100 We were at the happiest point, I think, 546 00:29:17,100 --> 00:29:19,860 we had been in our marriage. 547 00:29:19,860 --> 00:29:20,940 We had just bought a house. 548 00:29:20,940 --> 00:29:22,300 We had some main plans. 549 00:29:22,300 --> 00:29:25,740 And we'd been arguing whether to put 550 00:29:25,740 --> 00:29:28,340 linoleum or carpet in the dining room. 551 00:29:28,340 --> 00:29:31,580 I talked to a lady who helped him quite a bit in California 552 00:29:31,580 --> 00:29:33,060 when he'd pick up loads. 553 00:29:33,060 --> 00:29:36,420 And she told me that the only time Devin ever seemed irritated 554 00:29:36,420 --> 00:29:37,780 is when he had to wait for his load, 555 00:29:37,780 --> 00:29:42,100 because he was eager to get back home and get back to his family. 556 00:29:42,100 --> 00:29:45,300 If Devin Williams didn't run off, where was he? 557 00:29:45,300 --> 00:29:48,020 Foot patrols, canine search and rescue teams, 558 00:29:48,020 --> 00:29:50,860 and off-road vehicles returned empty handed. 559 00:29:50,860 --> 00:29:53,740 Hunters and hikers in the area never reported finding 560 00:29:53,740 --> 00:29:56,420 so much as a bone fragment or a scrap of clothing. 561 00:29:58,900 --> 00:30:01,580 Some began to suggest only half jokingly 562 00:30:01,620 --> 00:30:03,900 that it seemed as though Devin Williams had been abducted 563 00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:05,820 by a UFO. 564 00:30:05,820 --> 00:30:08,220 Local authorities remained totally baffled. 565 00:30:08,220 --> 00:30:09,900 You've been searching from the Bob Wehr offense, 566 00:30:09,900 --> 00:30:10,700 they're all over there. 567 00:30:10,700 --> 00:30:11,780 I've conducted many searches. 568 00:30:11,780 --> 00:30:16,460 And I have not had any instances where I've conducted a search 569 00:30:16,460 --> 00:30:20,020 and not been able to find the person I'm looking for, 570 00:30:20,020 --> 00:30:23,020 either dead or alive. 571 00:30:23,020 --> 00:30:25,100 Nearly a year has passed since Devin Williams 572 00:30:25,100 --> 00:30:27,940 detoured to an unknown fate. 573 00:30:27,940 --> 00:30:29,940 Back home in Kansas, Devin's wife 574 00:30:29,980 --> 00:30:33,180 still clings to the hope that her husband will be found, 575 00:30:33,180 --> 00:30:37,980 a hope that dims a bit with each passing day. 576 00:30:37,980 --> 00:30:41,340 I've got kids that look at me, and they'll be doing fine. 577 00:30:41,340 --> 00:30:43,620 And then one day, though, when's he coming back? 578 00:30:43,620 --> 00:30:46,180 Is he coming back? 579 00:30:46,180 --> 00:30:48,820 So I just tell them I don't know. 580 00:30:48,820 --> 00:30:50,820 And if he ain't coming home, he's probably up with God. 581 00:30:59,940 --> 00:31:13,340 Next, a private detective and a respected psychic 582 00:31:13,340 --> 00:31:15,740 join forces with the police to investigate 583 00:31:15,740 --> 00:31:16,820 a brutal double murder. 584 00:31:16,820 --> 00:31:35,020 And I believe that takes that. 585 00:31:35,020 --> 00:31:38,220 To play, you need nothing more than a set of special cards 586 00:31:38,220 --> 00:31:40,340 and a vivid imagination. 587 00:31:40,340 --> 00:31:44,260 The game involves mystical creatures, magic, and fantasy, 588 00:31:44,260 --> 00:31:46,540 elements that some say push participants 589 00:31:46,540 --> 00:31:50,100 dangerously close to ritual violence and the occult. 590 00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:51,980 You know, I'm getting kind of tired. 591 00:31:51,980 --> 00:31:54,260 I think we should call it a night. 592 00:31:54,260 --> 00:31:55,140 You got a go? 593 00:31:55,140 --> 00:31:55,940 Yeah. What time is it? 594 00:31:55,940 --> 00:31:56,860 What do you got? 595 00:31:56,860 --> 00:31:58,340 It's like 11, isn't it? 596 00:31:58,340 --> 00:32:00,580 But Michael Johnston and Rochelle Robinson 597 00:32:00,580 --> 00:32:03,820 showed no such concerns as they left just such a game 598 00:32:03,820 --> 00:32:06,020 one night in June of 1994. 599 00:32:09,220 --> 00:32:11,100 Perhaps they should have. 600 00:32:11,100 --> 00:32:14,340 The next day, both Michael and Rochelle were found dead, 601 00:32:14,340 --> 00:32:16,380 the victims of a hideous double murder. 602 00:32:19,620 --> 00:32:23,540 25-year-old Michael Johnson was married, the father of two. 603 00:32:23,540 --> 00:32:27,300 Rochelle Robinson was 19, studying to be a teacher. 604 00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:29,900 The detectives soon discovered that Michael and Rochelle 605 00:32:29,900 --> 00:32:30,740 had been lovers. 606 00:32:34,380 --> 00:32:36,460 In light of the secret romance, authorities 607 00:32:36,460 --> 00:32:40,540 described the savage murders to an explosion of jealous rage. 608 00:32:40,540 --> 00:32:42,740 However, a private investigator and a respected 609 00:32:42,740 --> 00:32:44,740 psychic disagree. 610 00:32:44,740 --> 00:32:48,020 They see the homicides as a work of a charismatic killer 611 00:32:48,020 --> 00:32:50,420 and tangled in the shadowy world of the occult. 612 00:32:56,540 --> 00:32:59,460 A woman discovered Michael Johnston's body less than six 613 00:32:59,460 --> 00:33:01,900 hours after he left the card game. 614 00:33:01,900 --> 00:33:04,020 His throat had been cut, and he was shot once 615 00:33:04,020 --> 00:33:06,340 in the head at point blank range. 616 00:33:06,340 --> 00:33:08,340 He was sprawled next to Rochelle's car 617 00:33:08,340 --> 00:33:11,460 near a popular shooting range called the Tacoma Sportsmen's 618 00:33:11,460 --> 00:33:11,960 Club. 619 00:33:15,860 --> 00:33:18,340 Rochelle's body was found later that day 620 00:33:18,340 --> 00:33:21,140 on a remote road some five miles from where Michael had been 621 00:33:21,140 --> 00:33:22,300 killed. 622 00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:23,860 She had been stabbed repeatedly, 623 00:33:23,860 --> 00:33:26,500 and her throat was slashed to the bone. 624 00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:28,620 Rochelle's body was left partially covered 625 00:33:28,620 --> 00:33:30,300 by a large cardboard box. 626 00:33:33,780 --> 00:33:36,140 Eyewitness accounts and crime scene evidence 627 00:33:36,140 --> 00:33:39,100 enabled authorities to piece together a possible scenario 628 00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:41,180 for that fatal evening. 629 00:33:41,180 --> 00:33:43,780 Police believe that sometime after 1 AM, 630 00:33:43,780 --> 00:33:46,340 Michael and Rochelle parked her car on the quiet road 631 00:33:46,340 --> 00:33:48,300 near the Sportsmen's Club. 632 00:33:48,300 --> 00:33:50,260 They were alone for a while. 633 00:34:06,260 --> 00:34:09,620 They were forced to dress hastily. 634 00:34:09,620 --> 00:34:12,980 Rochelle Robinson had Michael Johnston's t-shirt 635 00:34:12,980 --> 00:34:16,020 on inside out when her body was found. 636 00:34:16,020 --> 00:34:21,300 And they were removed from her vehicle, probably at gunpoint. 637 00:34:21,300 --> 00:34:22,220 All right. 638 00:34:22,220 --> 00:34:23,020 Look, you're welcome. 639 00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:23,820 No move. 640 00:34:23,820 --> 00:34:25,620 Forensic evidence suggests that Michael was handcuffed, 641 00:34:25,620 --> 00:34:28,220 then forced to kneel near the front of Rochelle's car. 642 00:34:28,220 --> 00:34:29,020 All right. 643 00:34:29,020 --> 00:34:30,020 Look in. 644 00:34:30,020 --> 00:34:31,020 Come on, man. 645 00:34:31,020 --> 00:34:32,020 Don't do this. 646 00:34:32,020 --> 00:34:33,020 Come on. 647 00:34:33,020 --> 00:34:34,020 You don't need to do this. 648 00:34:34,020 --> 00:34:35,620 No, no, please. 649 00:34:35,700 --> 00:34:38,700 Law enforcement believes that Michael Johnson was a passive 650 00:34:38,700 --> 00:34:42,860 victim of the real target was Rochelle Robinson. 651 00:34:42,860 --> 00:34:46,780 There were several straight-in type knife pricks, 652 00:34:46,780 --> 00:34:48,660 I would call them, maybe a quarter of an inch deep 653 00:34:48,660 --> 00:34:51,260 and a quarter of an inch wide in her neck, which would indicate 654 00:34:51,260 --> 00:34:53,940 to me that somebody held a knife to her throat 655 00:34:53,940 --> 00:34:55,660 to force her to accompany him. 656 00:34:59,100 --> 00:35:02,260 Detective Reineke concluded that the killer drove Rochelle 657 00:35:02,260 --> 00:35:06,860 to the isolated road some five miles away. 658 00:35:06,860 --> 00:35:08,820 We believe this was a crime of passion 659 00:35:08,820 --> 00:35:12,340 because of the brutal way in which Rochelle was murdered. 660 00:35:12,340 --> 00:35:13,300 You'll never see that. 661 00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:14,300 You just killed Michael. 662 00:35:14,300 --> 00:35:15,660 What did I just do for you? 663 00:35:15,660 --> 00:35:16,900 You just killed Michael. 664 00:35:16,900 --> 00:35:18,380 I did it for you. 665 00:35:18,380 --> 00:35:19,860 I did it for you. 666 00:35:19,860 --> 00:35:21,860 No, no, please. 667 00:35:21,860 --> 00:35:22,860 No. 668 00:35:22,860 --> 00:35:23,860 No. 669 00:35:23,860 --> 00:35:24,860 No. 670 00:35:24,860 --> 00:35:25,860 No. 671 00:35:25,860 --> 00:35:26,860 No. 672 00:35:26,860 --> 00:35:27,860 No. 673 00:35:27,860 --> 00:35:28,860 No. 674 00:35:28,860 --> 00:35:29,860 No. 675 00:35:29,860 --> 00:35:30,860 No. 676 00:35:30,980 --> 00:35:34,540 Investigators believe that the perpetrator of this crime 677 00:35:34,540 --> 00:35:37,940 is a person that knew Rochelle well 678 00:35:37,940 --> 00:35:42,860 and probably wanted to have a boyfriend-girlfriend 679 00:35:42,860 --> 00:35:47,260 relationship with her or was an ex-boyfriend of hers. 680 00:35:47,260 --> 00:35:49,220 Rochelle felt that she was being stalked 681 00:35:49,220 --> 00:35:53,540 by a guy that came into her work approximately three 682 00:35:53,540 --> 00:35:55,460 or four months before they found her. 683 00:35:55,900 --> 00:36:01,180 Um, she felt that he had followed her home several times, 684 00:36:01,180 --> 00:36:02,860 that he'd come to work and has stared at her 685 00:36:02,860 --> 00:36:05,380 until she left work. 686 00:36:05,380 --> 00:36:09,220 This sketch of the stalker is based on eyewitness descriptions. 687 00:36:09,220 --> 00:36:12,460 However, his identity and any connection he may have to the case 688 00:36:12,460 --> 00:36:13,300 remain unknown. 689 00:36:15,980 --> 00:36:19,900 After a year, the official investigation began to wind down. 690 00:36:19,900 --> 00:36:23,100 To keep the inquiry alive, Michael Johnson's wife Janet 691 00:36:23,140 --> 00:36:26,100 hired a private investigator, Jim Wright. 692 00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:28,060 Now, Janet, as part of this investigation, 693 00:36:28,060 --> 00:36:31,180 I'm going to have to ask you some uncomfortable questions. 694 00:36:31,180 --> 00:36:33,420 Jim Wright played it by the book. 695 00:36:33,420 --> 00:36:35,980 First, he had to clear the victim's family members, 696 00:36:35,980 --> 00:36:38,940 starting with Janet Johnston. 697 00:36:38,940 --> 00:36:41,780 What type of an insurance policy did you have on Michael 698 00:36:41,780 --> 00:36:43,500 and how much was that for? 699 00:36:43,500 --> 00:36:45,940 We had a life insurance policy on Michael, 700 00:36:45,940 --> 00:36:47,620 and we had one on myself as well. 701 00:36:47,620 --> 00:36:50,460 Both of them were $250,000. 702 00:36:50,460 --> 00:36:54,060 We both had very large life insurance policies on each other, 703 00:36:54,060 --> 00:36:57,060 and that was at my insistence, because I 704 00:36:57,060 --> 00:36:59,540 was felt if something happened to me, 705 00:36:59,540 --> 00:37:03,060 I wanted to make sure that Mike had the financial stability 706 00:37:03,060 --> 00:37:04,980 so that he wouldn't have to work so that he could take care 707 00:37:04,980 --> 00:37:06,380 of the kids. 708 00:37:06,380 --> 00:37:10,620 Were you ever aware of any extramarital relationships 709 00:37:10,620 --> 00:37:12,980 that Michael's had? 710 00:37:12,980 --> 00:37:15,860 He and Rachelle were seeing each other. 711 00:37:15,860 --> 00:37:17,540 I don't know how long it had been going on. 712 00:37:17,540 --> 00:37:21,020 I don't know if they were going to stop soon, 713 00:37:21,020 --> 00:37:24,860 or if he was going to leave me, or what. 714 00:37:24,860 --> 00:37:27,980 We don't know any of that. 715 00:37:27,980 --> 00:37:30,020 Based on a polygraph test, the police 716 00:37:30,020 --> 00:37:32,620 had already cleared Janet Johnston. 717 00:37:32,620 --> 00:37:34,860 Jim Wright has found no concrete evidence 718 00:37:34,860 --> 00:37:37,180 that might implicate her. 719 00:37:37,180 --> 00:37:40,340 There was nothing that we were able to uncover from either 720 00:37:40,340 --> 00:37:44,220 Mike or Rachelle's side, initially, that ever indicated 721 00:37:44,220 --> 00:37:47,220 that she was a suspect. 722 00:37:47,260 --> 00:37:49,980 But Jim Wright did uncover a secret side to Michael 723 00:37:49,980 --> 00:37:52,380 Johnston, a world of role playing, 724 00:37:52,380 --> 00:37:56,180 fantasy games, black magic, and the occult. 725 00:37:56,180 --> 00:37:58,060 Wright now believes that this passion 726 00:37:58,060 --> 00:38:00,460 put Michael and Rachelle on a collision course 727 00:38:00,460 --> 00:38:02,500 with their killer. 728 00:38:02,500 --> 00:38:05,580 Michael had a very extensive collection of material 729 00:38:05,580 --> 00:38:07,980 relating to the occult. 730 00:38:07,980 --> 00:38:10,820 Because of the nature of this crime, 731 00:38:10,820 --> 00:38:12,860 we believe that people who were involved 732 00:38:12,860 --> 00:38:16,980 in possible occult-type activities 733 00:38:16,980 --> 00:38:18,700 could be the kind of people that would 734 00:38:18,700 --> 00:38:22,460 commit this type of a murder. 735 00:38:22,460 --> 00:38:25,380 But more than a year had passed since the murders. 736 00:38:25,380 --> 00:38:27,980 Every which way he turned, Jim Wright found the trail 737 00:38:27,980 --> 00:38:29,940 stone cold. 738 00:38:29,940 --> 00:38:31,580 Clearly, this was an investigation 739 00:38:31,580 --> 00:38:34,180 that demanded an unorthodox approach. 740 00:38:34,180 --> 00:38:37,060 Wright turned to Nancy Meyer, a respected psychic who 741 00:38:37,060 --> 00:38:41,580 was assisted police on more than 300 homicides. 742 00:38:41,580 --> 00:38:44,940 It was very hard on Jim because I said, 743 00:38:44,940 --> 00:38:49,340 you will not tell me anything because it has no validity 744 00:38:49,340 --> 00:38:51,860 if you tell me things ahead of time. 745 00:38:51,860 --> 00:38:54,540 I don't want someone else's theories. 746 00:38:54,540 --> 00:38:57,620 Because to me, if you're going to work psychically 747 00:38:57,620 --> 00:39:00,540 and do it purely, you should not pre-read. 748 00:39:00,540 --> 00:39:04,340 You should go out there and work it cold. 749 00:39:04,340 --> 00:39:06,420 Without revealing his destination, 750 00:39:06,420 --> 00:39:08,580 Jim Wright took Nancy Meyer to the road 751 00:39:08,580 --> 00:39:10,460 near the sportsman's club where Michael 752 00:39:10,500 --> 00:39:13,700 Johnson had been murdered. 753 00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:17,860 I can feel Michael here. 754 00:39:17,860 --> 00:39:19,140 I can feel his pain. 755 00:39:19,140 --> 00:39:20,140 I can feel the fear. 756 00:39:20,140 --> 00:39:22,220 I can feel him pleading. 757 00:39:22,220 --> 00:39:22,720 Don't do this. 758 00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:23,220 Come on. 759 00:39:23,220 --> 00:39:24,700 You don't need to do this. 760 00:39:24,700 --> 00:39:27,460 No, no, please. 761 00:39:27,460 --> 00:39:31,020 I can also get images of what's just happened to Rochelle. 762 00:39:31,020 --> 00:39:33,460 So I feel he must have died second 763 00:39:33,460 --> 00:39:38,500 because I can feel that awful images in his mind of what 764 00:39:38,540 --> 00:39:41,300 Rochelle has blinded through. 765 00:39:41,300 --> 00:39:43,140 Please don't kill her. 766 00:39:43,140 --> 00:39:45,740 I would not be able to agree with a theory that 767 00:39:45,740 --> 00:39:51,700 would have Michael as an innocent bystander, not 768 00:39:51,700 --> 00:39:54,220 the object of this killing. 769 00:39:54,220 --> 00:39:58,180 To me, from what I can sense, it's the other way around. 770 00:39:58,180 --> 00:40:01,540 Michael was the actual object. 771 00:40:01,540 --> 00:40:04,460 Indeed, Meyer believes that Michael and the killer 772 00:40:04,460 --> 00:40:06,740 knew each other from their involvement in black magic. 773 00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:13,380 As Nancy Meyer sees the crime, Michael and Rochelle 774 00:40:13,380 --> 00:40:15,780 were parked on the isolated road. 775 00:40:15,780 --> 00:40:18,620 Meyer believes that the killer, a man in his late 30s 776 00:40:18,620 --> 00:40:20,700 and two young accomplices crept up 777 00:40:20,700 --> 00:40:22,260 on the unsuspecting lovers. 778 00:40:29,820 --> 00:40:30,620 Come on out, Mike. 779 00:40:30,620 --> 00:40:31,620 I need to talk to you, man. 780 00:40:31,620 --> 00:40:32,660 No. 781 00:40:32,660 --> 00:40:33,540 Just need to talk. 782 00:40:33,540 --> 00:40:35,460 You want. 783 00:40:35,460 --> 00:40:36,460 We were alone. 784 00:40:36,460 --> 00:40:37,460 Hey, stop. 785 00:40:38,420 --> 00:40:40,420 We go. 786 00:40:40,420 --> 00:40:41,420 Look, man. 787 00:40:41,420 --> 00:40:42,420 Stop it. 788 00:40:42,420 --> 00:40:43,420 We don't need that. 789 00:40:43,420 --> 00:40:44,420 Come on. 790 00:40:44,420 --> 00:40:49,340 They seem to be accusing him of violating some kind of regulations 791 00:40:49,340 --> 00:40:55,340 relative to some kind of, it almost felt like a cult type 792 00:40:55,340 --> 00:40:58,100 of situation. 793 00:40:58,100 --> 00:41:01,700 According to Nancy Meyer, after the killer stabbed Rochelle, 794 00:41:01,700 --> 00:41:04,380 he and his accomplices drove Michael to the sportsmen's 795 00:41:04,380 --> 00:41:05,380 club. 796 00:41:05,380 --> 00:41:06,380 Shut up. 797 00:41:07,300 --> 00:41:10,420 The older man seems to have emotional control over these 798 00:41:10,420 --> 00:41:11,300 kids. 799 00:41:11,300 --> 00:41:15,500 He seems to be able to tell them what to do, 800 00:41:15,500 --> 00:41:17,860 unlike a bunch of foolish puppets, they do it. 801 00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:23,460 Meyer says that her crime scene impressions were so vivid 802 00:41:23,460 --> 00:41:26,420 that she was able to envision the three assailants 803 00:41:26,420 --> 00:41:28,260 and artists sketch Meyer's impressions. 804 00:41:31,500 --> 00:41:34,780 This is the killer as he appeared to Nancy Meyer. 805 00:41:34,780 --> 00:41:38,060 She feels that he teaches at a local college or university 806 00:41:38,060 --> 00:41:39,740 and probably has killed before. 807 00:41:42,780 --> 00:41:45,420 These are the two accomplices, both in their early to mid 808 00:41:45,420 --> 00:41:46,780 20s. 809 00:41:46,780 --> 00:41:49,020 According to Meyer, they are now in danger 810 00:41:49,020 --> 00:41:50,300 of being murdered themselves. 811 00:41:53,420 --> 00:41:56,260 In addition, Meyer envisioned this stylized dragon wing 812 00:41:56,260 --> 00:41:57,460 medallion. 813 00:41:57,460 --> 00:41:59,700 She feels that the symbol comes from the account 814 00:41:59,700 --> 00:42:01,740 world that links Michael and the assailants. 815 00:42:04,860 --> 00:42:08,060 The authorities, however, are unmoved by Nancy's visions 816 00:42:08,060 --> 00:42:11,540 or theories that the double murder is linked to the occult. 817 00:42:11,540 --> 00:42:13,820 They remain convinced that the killer will be found 818 00:42:13,820 --> 00:42:17,340 among Rochelle Robbins' friends or acquaintances. 819 00:42:17,340 --> 00:42:19,620 Meanwhile, Rochelle and Michael's families 820 00:42:19,620 --> 00:42:23,060 must wait for resolution. 821 00:42:23,060 --> 00:42:25,980 It's a horrible, horrible feeling. 822 00:42:25,980 --> 00:42:29,220 You just keep going around and around and around. 823 00:42:29,220 --> 00:42:30,740 It's almost like a merry-go-round. 824 00:42:30,740 --> 00:42:32,580 And some days you just want to say, let me off. 825 00:42:32,580 --> 00:42:34,460 I can't take it. 826 00:42:34,460 --> 00:42:35,380 And you can't. 827 00:42:35,380 --> 00:42:39,620 You'll never, never get off of it. 828 00:42:39,620 --> 00:42:41,180 I know these people, whoever did it, 829 00:42:41,180 --> 00:42:43,020 they're going to pay you in this life or the next. 830 00:42:43,020 --> 00:42:44,940 And I have complete faith that that's going to take place. 831 00:42:47,900 --> 00:42:50,540 Authorities believe the solution to this brutal crime 832 00:42:50,540 --> 00:42:53,420 may lie with one of its more mundane clues, 833 00:42:53,420 --> 00:42:56,420 the cardboard box the killer placed on Rochelle's body. 834 00:42:59,020 --> 00:43:02,060 Originally, the box held large sheets of high-grade paper 835 00:43:02,100 --> 00:43:05,060 used only by professional printers. 836 00:43:05,060 --> 00:43:07,340 Forensic tests have convinced investigators 837 00:43:07,340 --> 00:43:10,580 that the carton was brought to the site by the killer. 838 00:43:10,580 --> 00:43:12,940 Further evidence suggests that for several years, 839 00:43:12,940 --> 00:43:16,180 the box may have been in the killer's home or vehicle. 840 00:43:16,180 --> 00:43:18,940 Perhaps someone watching tonight saw it there. 841 00:43:28,740 --> 00:43:31,380 No one will ever forget the terrible devastation 842 00:43:31,380 --> 00:43:34,060 and loss of life resulting from the Oklahoma City 843 00:43:34,060 --> 00:43:36,940 bombing last year. 844 00:43:36,940 --> 00:43:38,660 Where the federal building once stood, 845 00:43:38,660 --> 00:43:41,340 only this vacant lot remains. 846 00:43:41,340 --> 00:43:44,300 A somber monument to the tragedy. 847 00:43:44,300 --> 00:43:46,260 And while the rubble has been cleared away, 848 00:43:46,260 --> 00:43:50,580 the painful legacy of that day lives on. 849 00:43:50,580 --> 00:43:52,660 Next week will be an Oklahoma City 850 00:43:52,660 --> 00:43:55,700 for a poignant and very special profile. 851 00:43:55,700 --> 00:43:57,300 One of the survivors of the bombing 852 00:43:57,300 --> 00:44:00,300 needs your help to find the two unknown heroes who 853 00:44:00,340 --> 00:44:03,380 saved his life. 854 00:44:03,380 --> 00:44:06,060 Also a surprising report on the controversial case 855 00:44:06,060 --> 00:44:08,980 of White House Deputy Counsel Vince Foster. 856 00:44:08,980 --> 00:44:11,300 Authorities say he took his own life, 857 00:44:11,300 --> 00:44:13,140 but some handwriting experts claim 858 00:44:13,140 --> 00:44:17,340 Foster's suicide note was faked. 859 00:44:17,340 --> 00:44:21,140 Join me next time for another edition of Unsolved Mysteries.
