00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
The End

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Tonight on Unsolved Mysteries

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Christy Martin of Houston, Texas was talented, attractive,

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,000
and intelligent.

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
She was just 19, poised to take her place in the world.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Then a quiet evening out with friends was shattered by a deadly confrontation.

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Tonight, Christy Martin's parents and the authorities in Houston need your help to bring her killers to justice.

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Join me for this intriguing new case as well as these fascinating mysteries.

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,000
A college athlete bounds from his bed and spins through the frigid winter night.

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000
A young woman dreams of being chased and crashes through her patio door.

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Both her Traptilo world science has yet to understand the mysterious world of sleepwalking.

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,000
On the day Lois Caprizella was reunited with her birth father's family,

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
she was stunned to learn that her search was not over.

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Perhaps someone watching can help find the twin sister Lois never knew she had.

15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,000
It took years of constant fighting before Jim and Susan Harrison finally called it quits.

16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Eight months later, Susan vanished.

17
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Now her children believe Jim Harrison knows exactly what happened to their mother.

18
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,000
In 1988, an arson fire killed six firefighters in Kansas City, Missouri.

19
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Thanks in part to our broadcast, five suspects are now in custody.

20
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Join me for another intriguing edition of Unsolved Mysteries.

21
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,000
What happens when we sleep?

22
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,000
The ancient Egyptians believed that dreams are a window to the future.

23
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
But where do dreams come from?

24
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Does a mind work differently when the body is resting?

25
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,000
What happens when a person is suspended between wakefulness and sleep?

26
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
This man was filmed at a university laboratory.

27
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
He is sound asleep.

28
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,000
And though he is hooked up for some of the most sophisticated monitoring devices known to science,

29
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:06,000
no one can say why he is crawling around as though he were wide awake.

30
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,000
It's a world beyond dreams, a mysterious world of sleepwalking.

31
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Though often, the world is a dream.

32
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
A mysterious world of sleepwalking.

33
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Though often portrayed as harmless or amusing, sleepwalking can in reality be dangerous, even deadly.

34
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Tonight, two young athletes push to the edge by life-threatening sleep disorders.

35
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,000
First, the strange and tragic case of Jared Allgood.

36
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
A talented football player during his waking hours,

37
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Jared Allgood was an habitual sleepwalker at night.

38
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
From the time he was a young boy, Jared was known to wander around the house,

39
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,000
slamming doors and occasionally bumping into walls, but never awakening.

40
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,000
He was a major sleepwalker, and all of my boys are.

41
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
And that scared me, and I talk about it, and I'd ask the doctors about it.

42
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
And they would just pretty much poo-poo it.

43
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Like, it's really nothing, because I had asked quite a few times in their lives,

44
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,000
all of my children in their lives, you know, is this normal?

45
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Are they supposed to be doing this, you know?

46
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000
When Jared went to college in aisle, the episodes continued.

47
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:26,000
None were serious, until the early morning hours of February 9, 1993.

48
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Jared was up, his eyes wide open, but he was not awake.

49
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Jared ran more than a mile barefoot on the icy pavement.

50
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Witnesses later reported that he spread it with the urgency of a runner at the finish line.

51
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:51,000
People who have these episodes spontaneously, like Jared, get stuck in this state between wakefulness and sleep.

52
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000
They're awake enough to perform complex behaviors, not awake enough to be aware of what we're doing,

53
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
or responsible for what we're doing.

54
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Somehow in his sleep, Jared had managed to exit his apartment,

55
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,000
park around parked cars, and turn corners as he ran.

56
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Then in mid-stride, tragedy.

57
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
HONK, HONK, HONK, HONK!

58
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Jared Allgood died instantly.

59
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Initially, a thought he speculated that he had committed suicide.

60
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Jared's mother didn't buy it.

61
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
When Becky Allgood talked to her son's roommate,

62
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,000
she told her that Jared had been having a recurrent dream that involved a man from the nearby town of Bertram.

63
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Jared said, it's a crazy dream. I'm running a race with a man from Bertram.

64
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Only the man is in a car, and I'm on foot, running a race, as hard as I can run.

65
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Was Jared playing out his jumbled dream the night he died?

66
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Some might dismiss it as mere coincidence.

67
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,000
But Jared was killed as he raced down State Highway 30, the highway that leads to Bertram.

68
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Becky Allgood became absolutely convinced that her son had not taken his own life.

69
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000
The experts agreed.

70
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000
There was not one shred of evidence that he had depression,

71
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,000
or any other reason to commit suicide.

72
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
There was no evidence of drugs or alcohol involved.

73
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
There was absolutely no reason in the world for him to have been out there,

74
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,000
and the whole circumstance was so inappropriate that the only reasonable explanation

75
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000
is that this was yet just another one of his sleepwalking episodes.

76
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,000
In the end, authorities bowed to the evidence.

77
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Jared had apparently been sound asleep from the moment he got out of bed

78
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,000
to the moment he was killed on the highway.

79
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Jared Allgood became the first person in Iowa history whose death was ascribed to sleepwalking.

80
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,000
When I hear stories about Jared Allgood, I think that possibly could have been me,

81
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,000
and that scares me to think that.

82
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Like Jared, Heidi Ruiz is a dedicated athlete.

83
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Her sleepwalking began in 1991.

84
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000
She was attending college on a track and field scholarship

85
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,000
and felt a crushing pressure to perform.

86
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Heidi's sleepwalking invariably seemed rooted in a nameless, faceless terror.

87
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,000
I wasn't running from a particular person or a thing.

88
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000
I was just running because I felt like it was the end of the world.

89
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:44,000
The scariest part was not knowing what I was doing

90
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:50,000
and the feeling that I had inside when I woke up out of the night terror.

91
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
I just, I can't even explain it.

92
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,000
It was like a monster inside me trying to get out.

93
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000
I heard a blood curdling scream.

94
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Heidi's mother witnessed two of the most violent episodes.

95
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,000
All of a sudden, bang, two big hits where I could hear her coming through doors.

96
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Help me!

97
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,000
I have to tell you, the force of her running through that hall I will never forget

98
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,000
because of the tear, the looking of tear on her face was so incredible.

99
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:26,000
And for a mom to not know what to do in order for her not to be able to hurt herself again

100
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,000
was a real scary thing, real scary.

101
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,000
I had the biggest episode was in my mom's house back in August of 1995.

102
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,000
I must have gotten out of bed and took one step and bolted straight into the wall.

103
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000
The impact tore open Heidi's forehead.

104
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,000
She gashed her wrist as she fell to the floor.

105
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Did you fall down, honey?

106
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,000
I decided I couldn't handle anymore.

107
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,000
I was terrified and I said, I need to get, go seek help.

108
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Heidi was tested at the world renowned Stanford University Sleep Clinic in Northern California.

109
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Both of you have a different look completely here.

110
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
I had electrodes all over my head.

111
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
I had a pulse on my finger.

112
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000
I mean, I was hooked up.

113
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Like, I felt like I was from Mars.

114
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,000
It was very, very uncomfortable, but it was an extensive test

115
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
and they had to see what was going on with me.

116
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000
We went through a testing process here in a moment or so.

117
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000
We wanted to see if we might be able to capture a sleepwalking episode,

118
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000
but that can be rare because it might not occur every night.

119
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000
But secondly, we also wanted to draw the possibility that it wasn't something else,

120
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,000
such as seizure activity, a sleep-related breathing disorder,

121
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:51,000
or even leg movements that were causing the person to awake and triggering off an attack.

122
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,000
In Heidi's case, we really didn't see any of those triggers.

123
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,000
While Dr. Kushida could find no physiological causes for Heidi's sleepwalking,

124
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,000
he was able to pinpoint circumstances likely to kick off an episode.

125
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
There's a lot of different triggers.

126
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
One of them is sleep deprivation.

127
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,000
That's known to definitely increase the chance of sleepwalking if the person is sleep deprived.

128
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Secondly, stress can also increase the chance that the person might have sleepwalking.

129
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Both Heidi Ruiz and Jared Algood fit that pattern.

130
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Their sleepwalking fared up under heavy emotional pressure and lack of sleep.

131
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Heidi has now brought her sleepwalking under control through medication and careful stress management.

132
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Unfortunately, a lot of sleep is still a mystery, a big mystery in terms of a lot of the causes of these sleep disorders,

133
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,000
but it's something that we're all trying to really work hard on.

134
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:01,000
The phantasmagoric world of sleep and dreams, once the domain of ports, has become the target of mainstream research.

135
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:08,000
But after decades of testing, scientists can still only ponder the mysteries of the night.

136
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,000
It is important to note that while researchers cannot fully explain sleepwalking,

137
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000
they are able to control it in most cases.

138
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:25,000
If you or someone you know is suffering from a serious sleep disorder, it should not be ignored.

139
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Please consult a trained physician.

140
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,000
The End

141
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Everyone knows that you're going to die sometime in your life, but you expect to die when you're old, not when you're 19 years old.

142
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:56,000
I think if Christy would have died from sickness or in a car wreck, it would just be a lot easier to accept

143
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:02,000
than the fact that she was actually murdered because it was just senseless and there was no reason for it at all.

144
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Christy Martin, an honor roll student and former high school cheerleader, was gunned down two days before Christmas in 1995.

145
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:20,000
That Friday evening, she and a friend named Wendy Wright double dated with two brothers, Joe and Sal Barrera.

146
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:28,000
The four had known each other in high school. Christmas break from college was a perfect time to reconnect.

147
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Just 15 miles, yet worlds distant from the restaurant, members of an East Houston street gang were cranking up their Friday night.

148
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,000
What's up, Holmes? What's up, Flocko? Come on over here, man.

149
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:54,000
On the night of the homicide, Jose Luis Rios, who's a gang named as Flocko and Jorge Mendes were out that night

150
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:01,000
riding around drinking looking for some kind of problems to get into, looking to do something wild.

151
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Hey, what the where's the party at?

152
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:12,000
I've dealt with Flocko before. He's told people in the past that it was the ultimate rush, the ultimate hide to shoot somebody.

153
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Across town, the two couples finished their meal. They headed to River Terrace Park, a popular hangout for generations.

154
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Christy's dad had gone there as a child.

155
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:36,000
When we were kids, we fished there, crabbed there, we pignecked there. You never had to worry about anybody bothering you for any reason.

156
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:44,000
It was just a nice place to take your family. That might be why one of the reasons the kids went there, they felt safe there.

157
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Man, I'm cold. I'm looking inside. Want to go inside?

158
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Yeah.

159
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Christy, do you want to go for a walk?

160
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,000
I'll go for a walk, yeah.

161
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Unbeknownst to Christy and her friends, the park was no longer neutral territory.

162
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Flocko's gang liked to think it was theirs and theirs alone.

163
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Is that over there, is it?

164
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,000
I don't know. Let's go check it out.

165
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,000
You want to?

166
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Yeah.

167
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Let's go.

168
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Hurry, hurry, hurry.

169
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Let's go, hurry, hurry.

170
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Hurry, hurry, hurry.

171
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Hurry, hurry, hurry.

172
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Hurry, hurry, hurry.

173
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Yeah.

174
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:21,000
We were just sitting there talking. When the truck drove up, I couldn't see it because my back was towards them.

175
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Sal Barera, who still lives in Houston, asked that we obscure his features for this interview.

176
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:35,000
I thought it was just somebody else going to park next to us, you know, so they could, you know, do whatever they wanted to do.

177
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,000
What's up? Come here.

178
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
I'm great with these guys.

179
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Hey, I almost hung up with you.

180
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
We probably need to go, okay?

181
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,000
No, look, it's normal.

182
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Can we just go?

183
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,000
We're probably going to go?

184
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Come on!

185
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Let's go!

186
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,000
I got it, I got it, I got it.

187
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,000
I crawled as fast as I could to the front of my car.

188
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,000
About the time I got to the front, they took off.

189
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:21,000
I just see Christie, you know, on the floor, just, you know, laying there.

190
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:28,000
I just ran over there towards her and I was talking to her and yelling, please don't go, don't leave us.

191
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Oh God, Chris, Christie!

192
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:37,000
She's just there and breathing slowly and just staring at you.

193
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,000
You knew she was already going to die.

194
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:48,000
I mean, she had the glare in her eye like she was trying to look at you but looking past you, you know.

195
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Wendy Wright and the Barrera brothers escaped without serious injury.

196
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,000
However, Christie Martin had taken a direct hit from a semi-automatic assault rifle.

197
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,000
She died at the scene.

198
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,000
When Christie didn't come home, my concern was maybe she had a car accident.

199
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,000
I never dreamed in a million years it would be something such as a drive-by shooting because

200
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:15,000
I guess I just assumed that only happened to other people, that it didn't happen to somebody that was a good person

201
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,000
and that wasn't involved in gangs, you know, any way at all.

202
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Six days after the shooting, Jose Rios alias Flaco was formally charged with killing Christie Martin.

203
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,000
He and Jorge Mendez, who reportedly drove the getaway truck at previous run-ins with the law,

204
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Mendez was also charged with murder.

205
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Four weeks before the attack, Mendez had legally purchased the assault rifle,

206
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000
allegedly used by Flaco in the killing.

207
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:53,000
It's hard to swallow that these kids are able to get out there and buy assault type weapons

208
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
and then to come back and just fire them at will or anybody they want.

209
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Well, the type of gun that this man bought, I don't even call him a man, this animal bought,

210
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,000
is sold to kill people.

211
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,000
He bragged to some of his gang members that he was going to kill somebody with it.

212
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000
He bought this gun to kill somebody again.

213
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Just so happened it was our daughter.

214
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Flaco has now been linked to a second killing.

215
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:30,000
In March of 1996, an uncle of Jorge Mendez was gunned down at an intersection.

216
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:39,000
The uncle had told Jorge, along with Flaco, that if they didn't turn themselves in,

217
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,000
that he would call the police on him himself.

218
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,000
And within two days of that reported meeting between him, he ends up being shot.

219
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:58,000
The information we're picking up off the street is that Jose Luis Rios Flaco is also taking credit for that homicide.

220
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:08,000
While Flaco runs free, Brian and Judy Martin are already starting to dread the one year anniversary of their daughter's funeral.

221
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Christmas Eve.

222
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Christmas will be really hard from now on.

223
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
It just will never be the same.

224
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,000
So it's really a sad time and I know Christmas should be a happy time,

225
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:26,000
but I can't imagine it being any sadder than Christmas Eve will be this year without Christy.

226
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Losing your mother or a brother, I mean that's rough.

227
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,000
I've lost them both.

228
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000
My dad, both my parents have died, my brother has died.

229
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,000
All I have left is my family, my immediate family.

230
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:43,000
And when you lose a child, it takes a big hunk out of your heart.

231
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Jose Luis Rios, also known as Flaco, is a Lean 5'7", 130.

232
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000
He has numerous tattoos, two teardrops under his left eye,

233
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,000
a knife sticking into his skull on his right forearm,

234
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000
and on his left middle finger, the outline of a cross.

235
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Next, a joyous family reunion gives rise to an intriguing unsolved mystery.

236
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Does this woman have an identical twin sister?

237
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Also an active arson leaves six firefighters dead.

238
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Eight years later, the hunt for suspects comes to a close.

239
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,000
You may recall these dramatic scenes from a previous broadcast.

240
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Firefighters in Kansas City, Missouri,

241
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,000
volunteered to help us recreate an unsolved crime

242
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,000
that left six of their comrades dead.

243
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
On November 29, 1988,

244
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Humper's 30 and 41 were called to a construction site

245
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,000
where a traitor had been torched by arsonists.

246
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
There were explosives at the scene,

247
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,000
but a survey of the area suggested they had been secured in storage sheds

248
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,000
known as bunkers.

249
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Just the fact that the bunker was there, in fact, there was two bunkers there,

250
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,000
led that captain to believe that's where the explosives was,

251
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,000
and this trailer was just a regular normal construction trailer

252
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,000
with tools and equipment in it, and therefore there was no danger.

253
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,000
However, when the department supervisor arrived,

254
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,000
he learned that there were in fact large quantities of explosives inside the trailer.

255
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Let's get them out of there, John.

256
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,000
106.

257
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Humper's 41 or Pumber 30, answer.

258
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Humper's 41 or Pumber 30, answer.

259
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Sunrise confirmed what Kansas City had been dreading.

260
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Six of their firemen were killed in the fire.

261
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,000
The fire was set on fire,

262
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,000
and the Sunrise confirmed what Kansas City had been dreading.

263
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Six of their firefights were dead.

264
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:34,000
I guess I feel like if I knew who did it, we'd know why they did it,

265
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,000
and I don't think they were trying to kill six firemen,

266
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,000
but somebody was trying to do something to somebody,

267
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,000
and six men are gone.

268
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,000
The shocking crime triggered the biggest manhunt in the city's history,

269
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,000
but after nearly eight years, those responsible were still running free.

270
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Then Kansas City firemen pushed aside painful memories

271
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000
to help us get this story on the air.

272
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Keely Shay Smith has more.

273
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Bob, the efforts of the Kansas City Fire Department

274
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,000
paid off in a big way.

275
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000
More than 600 calls poured into our phone center

276
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,000
and two hotlines set up by local authorities.

277
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,000
The infusion of new leads led directly to the indictment of five suspects.

278
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,000
When the long-awaited news was announced at a press conference last June,

279
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,000
the excitement was tempered by lingering emotions.

280
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Even though it was very difficult for many of us who participated in that recreation at that event,

281
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,000
it came at a time when many of our spirits were down,

282
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,000
leads that wouldn't fall, and we needed a lift, and we got a lift.

283
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,000
All five suspects are now facing a federal arson charge.

284
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:50,000
George Frank Shepherd, his brother Earl, their nephew Brian Shepherd,

285
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Frank Shepherd's girlfriend, Darlene Edwards, and Richard W. Brown.

286
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Citing the pending trial, authorities declined to speculate on motive

287
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,000
if convicted the suspects could spend the rest of their lives in prison.

288
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,000
The case was reported to the Kansas City Fire Department

289
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:19,000
in June, 2017, when the case was reported to the Kansas City Fire Department.

290
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,000
The case was reported to the Kansas City Fire Department

291
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:28,000
in June, 2017, when the case was reported to the Kansas City Fire Department.

292
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Tonight is November 8th, 1996, and somewhere a young woman is likely celebrating her 33rd birthday.

293
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:52,000
She has no idea that she has an entire clan of loving relatives eager to meet her.

294
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,000
With your help, she may find out tonight.

295
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:05,000
July 21st, 1995, El Tidina, California.

296
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,000
It was a day of homecoming. A day Marjorie Kim and her long-lost granddaughter

297
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Lois Capizello will never forget.

298
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:23,000
We all felt just a click. The minute we met, it's hard to explain how total strangers

299
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:29,000
who know nothing about each other can just click and bond in a matter of moments, within one hug.

300
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:37,000
It was like an answer to a prayer that I had prayed for 32 years, knowing that she was out there.

301
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,000
We've been anxious as much, waiting.

302
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:46,000
32 years, Lois and Marjorie had waited to meet each other, but it was hardly the end of the search.

303
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:52,000
In fact, it was just the beginning of a new quest. The quest neither had imagined possible.

304
00:24:53,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Lois Capizello was born in November of 1963 and adopted almost immediately.

305
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Her birth father was Marjorie Kim's son, John, a policeman who died in 1979.

306
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Years before, when John was only 17, he learned that his high school sweetheart, Judy, was pregnant.

307
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,000
The news threw both households into turmoil.

308
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,000
By the time Lois was born, the families were barely on speaking terms.

309
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:28,000
Marjorie had wanted to adopt the baby, but Judy's parents would not permit it.

310
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Judy's sister came by on the slide to give Marjorie word of the birth.

311
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Oh, hi Patty. Hi. Come on in.

312
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,000
No, I can't. I've got to get back home.

313
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Look, I just wanted to tell you that Judy gave birth today.

314
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Oh, gosh.

315
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,000
A boy or a girl?

316
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Twins. Girls.

317
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Wonderful.

318
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,000
But one of them died.

319
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Oh, poor Judy. How's she doing?

320
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
She's doing all right.

321
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Well, can I come see her?

322
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000
No, I don't think that would be a good idea.

323
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Look, I've got to get going.

324
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000
I'll give her my best.

325
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,000
And thanks for coming.

326
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Sure.

327
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,000
It was not a happy time.

328
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:24,000
And that date always stuck in my mind over the years.

329
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:29,000
It should be two, it should be three, it should be four, it should be five.

330
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000
On through the years.

331
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Those painful thoughts continued until the day of the reunion.

332
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:42,000
The introductions were barely over when Marjorie and Lois realize that the past

333
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000
still held a perplexing mystery.

334
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,000
I want to see you too, Grandma.

335
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,000
You should have come back.

336
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000
What do you mean?

337
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Honey, you should have come back.

338
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:57,000
I'd never been to her house before, so to have someone tell me why didn't I come back,

339
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,000
I was very confused and I said, I don't understand what you're asking me

340
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,000
and she was, well, you've been here before.

341
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Yes, you were, honey. About 15 years ago, huh, Derek?

342
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Lois' cousin, Derek Stain, remembered vividly.

343
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:15,000
I was in front and I was riding my bike

344
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,000
and a car pulled out and a girl got out.

345
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Grandma, there's somebody here.

346
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Hi.

347
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Can I help you?

348
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,000
I'm looking for Judy Kim.

349
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,000
Does she live here?

350
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Well, this is the Kim residence, but I'm sorry, there's no Judy here.

351
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,000
There isn't?

352
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Well, do you know any Judy Kim?

353
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,000
I'm sorry.

354
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Is there somewhere I could help you?

355
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000
No.

356
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,000
No, it's okay.

357
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,000
I'm sorry to bother you.

358
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Thanks.

359
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Why does that girl look so familiar?

360
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,000
I know her from somewhere.

361
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,000
It was Derek who made the connection.

362
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,000
She sure looked like Uncle John.

363
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,000
And then it hit me and to myself, I said,

364
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Dear God, I let her leave.

365
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000
It was Johnny's daughter and I let her leave.

366
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,000
She said, she looked just like your father, she looked like you.

367
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,000
You know, I don't understand. If you haven't been here, who was it?

368
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,000
My twin.

369
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,000
But she died.

370
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000
What if she didn't?

371
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Oh, God, Lois.

372
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Oh, God.

373
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,000
It's like a little thing in your stomach just kind of clenches up

374
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,000
and you're just thinking, oh, my God, you know, she didn't die.

375
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,000
She's alive and she's, you know,

376
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,000
walking around there somewhere searching, just as I did.

377
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Adoption agencies often try to keep twins together.

378
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Lois and the Kims now suspect someone claimed

379
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,000
that one twin died in order to make it easier to place the babies.

380
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,000
Lois looked for a death certificate for her twin.

381
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,000
But despite a thorough search, she found nothing.

382
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,000
I think the lack of any of that information proves to me that she is alive.

383
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:25,000
And that that girl who came to the door was my twin sister.

384
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,000
I'm looking for Judy Kim. Does she live here?

385
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Well, this is the Kim residence.

386
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000
When Lois contacted her birth mother's family,

387
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,000
they told an almost identical story.

388
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:42,000
A mysterious young girl had shown up at their home at around the same time.

389
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000
Is there somewhere I could help you?

390
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:51,000
I am sure in my heart that the girl that came to my house 15, 16 years ago

391
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,000
was my son, John's daughter, the twin.

392
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:01,000
I would love with all my heart to see her, to be able to see her.

393
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Like God answered, my prayer was with Lois.

394
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Let's sit on the knee, Joey.

395
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:13,000
For Lois, finding her father's family has been a wonderfully rich and rewarding experience.

396
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,000
An experience she hopes to soon share with her twin sister.

397
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:25,000
She has a family who loves her, who'd like to get to know her.

398
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,000
We may have missed the first 30 years or so of our life,

399
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,000
but we have many more to get to know each other.

400
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,000
And I'd like to meet her and have her be a part of my life.

401
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Lois' twin sister was born at St. Anne's Maternity Hospital in Los Angeles.

402
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:47,000
The date on the birth certificate would be either November 8th or November 13th, 1963.

403
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Lois' twin would have been 16 or 17 when she visited the Kims in the late 70s.

404
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Today she is 33 years old and would no doubt look very much like Lois Capizani.

405
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:03,000
Lois' twin sister is a young woman who is a young man who is a young man of color.

406
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:08,000
In a moment, two brothers search for answers in the baffling disappearance of their mother.

407
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:24,000
You're about to meet two young men on a desperate quest to find out what happened to their mother.

408
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,000
She disappeared more than two years ago.

409
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,000
Lois' son is convinced that she is dead, the victim of foul play.

410
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,000
And her son's are convinced that their stepfather is the one person who may know what happened.

411
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,000
August 5th, 1994.

412
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:47,000
In the late afternoon, 19-year-old Nick Ausley arrived at his mother's house in Ruckston, Maryland.

413
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,000
They had planned to spend the evening together.

414
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,000
The door was ajar and she was nowhere to be found.

415
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,000
Mom? Hey, mommy, how?

416
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Her car was gone and a set of keys lay on the kitchen table.

417
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Nick waited until 2 a.m., then went home for the night.

418
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Mommy, are you all right?

419
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:14,000
When I woke up that morning, I was really concerned, called her house, and she didn't answer.

420
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:19,000
And at that moment I realized that something was really, really wrong.

421
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:25,000
And I felt like, at that point, she was probably dead, because it was so unlike her and so out of character.

422
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:30,000
And basically, I haven't felt anything different since that moment.

423
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,000
We had a memorial service, but we never had a funeral.

424
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,000
And that kills me.

425
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:41,000
The fact that she's out there somewhere, this wonderful, amazing woman who did so much for so many people.

426
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:47,000
And we can't give her that final tribute and do what's right.

427
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Susan Hurley Harrison grew up in a wealthy, close-knit Massachusetts family.

428
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,000
In 1967, she married one of her brother's roommates at Harvard.

429
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:03,000
Their sons, John and Nick, were born five years apart.

430
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:09,000
But in 1984, Susan left her husband and became involved with a man named Jim Harrison.

431
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Four years later, they were married.

432
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:18,000
From the start, the relationship was reportedly marked by heavy drinking, frequent fights, and mutual abuse.

433
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Problems with Jim Harrison attributes to Susan's alleged manic depression.

434
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Susan, when she was not manic depressive, was just a wonderful woman and a wonderful wife.

435
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:39,000
And when the manic depressive aspect came on periodically, that was bad.

436
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:47,000
She would start screaming and yelling, and she would start destroying things in or around the house.

437
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:55,000
And she would run around the house and use bad language.

438
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,000
It was really sad and really tough.

439
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:06,000
It's another excuse that he tries to use, tries to take the blame from himself for what, even now, even still.

440
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Even when she's not around to say, okay, maybe it was my fault.

441
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Well, I think the first time that I recognized that there was abuse in the relationship was when I actually saw abuse myself

442
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
when I was about 12 years old.

443
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Susan and her ex-husband shared custody of Nick and John.

444
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:27,000
On the night Nick claims he witnessed abuse, John was off visiting prospective colleges.

445
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,000
Nick was staying with his mother and Jim Harrison.

446
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Listen, listen, don't tell me what to do. This is my house. I pay for it. You don't bring anything into this house.

447
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:46,000
I remember waking up around two in the morning, one or two in the morning, and hearing voices and some screaming.

448
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Mom?

449
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,000
What's going on out there?

450
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,000
She said, Jim's been hurting me. He won't leave me alone.

451
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,000
He's had a little fight. Jim won't leave me alone. Are you okay?

452
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:04,000
And I said, well, I gotta get out of here. And so I called my brother's girlfriend at the time and talked with her.

453
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:11,000
And she said, you should get out of there. I'll come pick you up, go outside, stay in the driveway, and then I'll come get you.

454
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,000
Nick says that while he waited, the battle moved outside.

455
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,000
Susan, you forgot these.

456
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Why do you want to have a lampshade thing?

457
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,000
Open that trunk. Open that trunk. I don't want those ugly lampshades out of the house.

458
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,000
I can't get away.

459
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,000
Open that trunk.

460
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Leave him alone.

461
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Are you okay?

462
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:41,000
I see my mother as a victim of domestic violence and a victim of abuse.

463
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:49,000
And I think that she was caught up in a vicious cycle that a lot of women who are in those same situations are caught up in.

464
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,000
And that it's just very difficult for them to leave.

465
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:57,000
The only thing I've ever done is defended myself when she attacked me.

466
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:08,000
And to some degree that involved simply leaving the house for a day or so and other times putting myself into the bedroom and closing the door.

467
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,000
And just trying not to let her abuse me.

468
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
But I've never abused her, never.

469
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Our uniformed police officers had been called to their home on a number of occasions for cause of domestic violence.

470
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:32,000
And when they responded to the home they found on occasion Susan had some injuries that were questionable.

471
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,000
There had been some drinking on both parties.

472
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:40,000
And it was usually a very confused situation for the officer to determine exactly what had happened.

473
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,000
Finally in January of 1994, Susan left Jim Harrison.

474
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:51,000
She rented a house and launched her own business selling handcrafted lampshades.

475
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000
She felt very good about it.

476
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:59,000
She called me a couple of times and said, you know, so this is what you've been talking about all these years.

477
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:04,000
And she just said what a wonderful feeling it was to know that she could go out there and do something on her own.

478
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:09,000
She said at the end of the day she felt so good having worked all day at this.

479
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:15,000
And so there was a lot, we thought, that she was finally getting herself together.

480
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,000
However, that wasn't the case.

481
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Susan was still seeing Jim Harrison on occasion.

482
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,000
By all accounts, the fighting continued unabated.

483
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,000
I found out, she told me, that she had seen him a couple of times.

484
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:34,000
And obviously that made me angry, made me feel sick to my stomach.

485
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:41,000
All of a sudden I saw the slippery slope and I saw her sliding back into all the things that she'd worked so hard to get out of.

486
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,000
And that worried me.

487
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,000
Nick Housley shared his brother's concerns.

488
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Nick says that in early August of 1994, he confronted his mother and delivered an ultimatum.

489
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,000
I want this to end now. See the Jim Ross.

490
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:01,000
Family members say that the next morning Susan decided to leave Jim for good.

491
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:09,000
But just two days later Susan Harrison disappeared and police went to speak with Jim Harrison.

492
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:15,000
He told them that Susan had visited him on three separate occasions a previous day.

493
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Yes, some officer or not. This is Officer Rogers.

494
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:25,000
The third time she arrived about seven and she attacked me verbally.

495
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,000
And it was very discouraging.

496
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:35,000
And she asked for glasses of wine and I gave her what she asked for.

497
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:43,000
And she went to sleep and woke up and she entirely changed and she was delightful and good.

498
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,000
And it was very loving and wonderful.

499
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,000
You could decorate this room just the way you always wanted.

500
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:53,000
According to Jim Harrison, he and Susan drank wine and talked for about two hours.

501
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Around 9 p.m. Susan took another nap.

502
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,000
And when she woke up, it would gone bad again.

503
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:08,000
I was just wondering if maybe it was a dream that she had caused her to go bad instead of staying good.

504
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,000
Jim, why did you change the locks in the house?

505
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,000
Susan, we went through this an hour ago.

506
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,000
So tell me again.

507
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,000
I didn't change the locks in the house. I changed the locks in the family room.

508
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,000
It's my house and you changed the locks, Jim.

509
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,000
Yes, it is your house.

510
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Now just calm down.

511
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,000
What is that?

512
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,000
Problems with the power.

513
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Jim.

514
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,000
Jim Harrison claims that Susan's mood turned uglier by the minute.

515
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Susan, just calm down.

516
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Don't tell me to calm down. I'm sick of being down.

517
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,000
Don't. And don't walk away from me.

518
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Good night.

519
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Don't walk away from me. Talk to me.

520
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,000
Susan, you're being bad again.

521
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:53,000
I left the family room and went upstairs to my bedroom and she followed me to the bottom of the steps.

522
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:57,000
And she stayed there and yelled at me at the steps for a short period.

523
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,000
And then left.

524
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Left the house and started a car and drove out.

525
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Police found no flaws in Jim Harrison's account.

526
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Then three weeks later, Susan's car, a 1992 green sob convertible, was discovered at National Airport in Washington, D.C.

527
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,000
some 50 miles from Baltimore.

528
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Records show that the car entered the parking lot around 6 a.m. on August 6, 1994.

529
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,000
The day Susan disappeared.

530
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:39,000
The keys were in the ignition, the gas tank was full, raising the possibility that Susan had simply walked away from her life.

531
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Well, in any missing person investigation, you know, we approach it in a several prong manner.

532
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,000
Could they be missing on their own accord and that don't want to be found?

533
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,000
Or is there foul play?

534
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:59,000
And we haven't uncovered any information that would lead credence to her trying to disappear in any fashion whatsoever.

535
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:05,000
In November of 1994, Jim Harrison agreed to take a polygraph.

536
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:10,000
He has publicly admitted that he failed the test, but claims the test was not administered properly.

537
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:16,000
Today, Jim Harrison maintains he had nothing to do with his wife's disappearance.

538
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:24,000
I love Susan, and I really do pray to God that she's alive and well.

539
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:30,000
And I pray to God that you all can help find her and please do your best to help find her.

540
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,000
There's no indication of what we may consider a stranger type of killer.

541
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:43,000
So we feel that what happened to Susan was committed by someone close to her, that there had been some type of a dispute,

542
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:50,000
and someone lost control when circumstances took a tragic twist.

543
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:58,000
I have dreams of walking down the street with her or just running into her somewhere.

544
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:02,000
And all this time she's been gone, finally getting a chance to be with her again.

545
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,000
And I know it's just a dream. I know that there's not a chance that she's ever going to come back,

546
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:15,000
but I miss her so much and I at least get to see her in these dreams and get to be with her.

547
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:20,000
But there's no doubt in my mind that she'll never be able to be with me again.

548
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:37,000
The End

549
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,000
On our next Unissolved Mysteries, what happens when we die?

550
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:01,000
For a man named Howard Storm, a medical emergency took him to the brink of death

551
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,000
and on a personal journey into the very depths of hell.

552
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:17,000
That place was more full of torment and despair than anything you could ever imagine in this world.

553
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,000
There's a place where you wouldn't want to send your worst enemy.

554
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Join me again next time, On the Unissolved Mysteries.

555
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:55,000
The End
