1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,600 The image is still provoked stunned disbelief. 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,600 As investigators continue the search for answers, 3 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,200 conspiracy buffs continue to push scenarios 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,440 of military involvement and high-level cover-up. 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,280 What happened to TWA Flight 800? 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,280 It was a young family's dream house that turned into a nightmare 7 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,080 of ghostly termites. 8 00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:26,320 The story of the night was told by a young man 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,320 who was in the middle of a dream. 10 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,320 He turned into a nightmare of ghostly turmoil 11 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,240 and demonic mayhem. 12 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,200 Can a team of high-tech ghostbusters 13 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,640 find out what's behind the chaos? 14 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:42,000 Don't miss this hair-raising tour of a haunted house. 15 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,080 From ancient Greece to TV Zema, the mythic exploits 16 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,680 of fearless women warriors have captivated countless 17 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,080 generations. 18 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,880 But were the Amazons more than just a legend? 19 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,800 Recent discoveries in Russia may provide a surprising answer. 20 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,160 In 1992, doctors told Candy Hawner's family 21 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,000 to prepare for the worst. 22 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,280 But as she slipped into a coma, Candy 23 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,840 says she was visited by an extraordinary vision of love, 24 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,720 a vision that brought her back from the brink of death. 25 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,040 Join me for these intriguing cases. 26 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,120 Perhaps you may be able to solve one of tonight's unsolved 27 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,120 mysteries. 28 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:16,760 For most of us haunted houses are the places we visit on Halloween. 29 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,800 We scream, we jump, we laugh, and we go home. 30 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,920 But for 20 years, a family in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio 31 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,600 was had to deal with a daunting fact that for them, 32 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,480 home is a haunted house. 33 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:31,640 OK. 34 00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:32,440 Got it? 35 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,000 Yeah, you first. 36 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,120 In 1972, a newly married couple will call them Joe and Mary Smith, 37 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,640 moved into what they thought was their dream home. 38 00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:44,960 But the dream didn't last long. 39 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,520 By the time Mary was pregnant with her first child, 40 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,320 she got her first warning. 41 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,920 Something was seriously wrong. 42 00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:05,080 On a night when Mary was all alone, 43 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,240 she heard a commotion start up in the attic. 44 00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:13,520 It really worried me because it sounded much more than a ma 45 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,840 with Sarah Raccoon or something. 46 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,240 Sarah like grating noises and things being dragged, 47 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:19,960 start to speak. 48 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,000 Mary called her father a Cleveland police detective. 49 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,960 He approached the attic with gun drawn, 50 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,040 expecting a burglar. 51 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,600 Sweetheart, take a look at this. 52 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,520 Oh my god. 53 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,000 The attic was a complete mess. 54 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,520 Blankets pulled out. 55 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,600 Boxes of Christmas ornaments dumped. 56 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,920 Childhood trinkets broken. 57 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,320 There was no sign of a human culprit. 58 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:05,160 The attic was supposed to be sealed tight against animals. 59 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,840 The thought ran through my mind that no animal could possibly 60 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,560 have done that kind of chaos. 61 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,000 It wasn't probable. 62 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,520 And at that point, I just shivered, kind of like with fear, 63 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,080 because something was there that I didn't know about, 64 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,680 and I didn't particularly care for that feeling at all. 65 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,120 Hints of something sinister in the house never stopped. 66 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,240 Door knobs turned of their own accord, 67 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,840 and the strange noises continued. 68 00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:38,600 Mary soon learned the house had a disturbing past. 69 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,520 In the 1940s, previous owners had reportedly 70 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,520 adopted a little boy. 71 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,400 One day, the child mysteriously vanished. 72 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,560 Even now, no one knows what happened to him. 73 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,320 Over the years, Mary couldn't help but suspect 74 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,320 that that boy might be connected to the hauntings. 75 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,080 One night, when her own son was almost the same age 76 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,120 as a long lost child, Mary says he led out a blood curdling 77 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,600 scream. 78 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:11,560 Mollye! 79 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,040 What's wrong, Mary? 80 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,040 Are you hurt? 81 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:16,960 Mary. 82 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,440 It just was a very tormented type of a cry. 83 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,200 That's what I heard in his voice, was that horrible fear. 84 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,960 What do you see, honey? 85 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,320 Mary had no idea what had so traumatized her son 86 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,680 until he visited his grandmother a few weeks later. 87 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,640 I'll be in the kitchen if you need me. 88 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,640 Grandma! 89 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:46,640 Grandma! 90 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,640 Oh, why don't I go home? 91 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:54,640 Well, why? 92 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:55,640 I don't know. 93 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,640 What happened? 94 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,640 He says, grandma, I want to go home. 95 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,640 I'm not never coming back here again. 96 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:02,640 I says, why? 97 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:03,640 Why? 98 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,640 Why aren't you coming back? 99 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,640 He says, no, no, no, devil, devil. 100 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,640 What is he talking about? 101 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:11,640 What? 102 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,640 A ghetto. 103 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:13,640 What are you saying? 104 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,640 A ghetto. 105 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:15,640 Devil? 106 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:16,640 A ghetto. 107 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,640 The child was pointing at a religious picture of St. Michael 108 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,640 the Archangel trampling Satan underfoot. 109 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,640 The little boy later told his mother it was the same devil 110 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,640 he had seen in his bedroom. 111 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,640 I'll take the picture down. 112 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,640 Oh, my God. 113 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:35,640 Oh, my God. 114 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,640 Oh, my God. 115 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:37,640 Oh, my God. 116 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,640 Life in Mary's house became a ride on a surreal roller coaster, 117 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,640 especially when she realized the hauntings were not always 118 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,640 malevolent. 119 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,640 Shortly after Mary's second child was born, 120 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,640 he developed a life-threatening case of jaundice, 121 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,640 the condition required surgery. 122 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,640 The night before the operation, Mary got down on her knees 123 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:58,640 and prayed. 124 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,640 Dear Lord, I pray to you tonight. 125 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,640 I am grateful for all you have given me, but please. 126 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,640 And much to my surprise as I was kneeling there praying, 127 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,640 I saw this most beautiful white light that just kind of 128 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,640 engulfed your whole inner being with just a soothing, real soothing 129 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,640 peace that everything will be all right. 130 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,640 Mary says the light was coming directly from the baby's room. 131 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,640 Mary! 132 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:37,640 Mary was astonished. 133 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,640 All traces of jaundice seemed gone. 134 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,640 The next morning, blood tests confirmed the baby boy was cured. 135 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:45,640 Oh, my God. 136 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:46,640 It's gone. 137 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,640 I think it's an evil spirit in our house, 138 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,640 but I also think there's a guardian angel looking over us. 139 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:58,640 I think that there is a war between good and the evil going 140 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,640 on is my explanation. 141 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,640 And we're kind of caught right in the middle. 142 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,640 When Mary's third son was five, he 143 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,640 had a different kind of encounter with the spirits of the house. 144 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,640 And he stared and blinked his eyes and stared again, 145 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:20,640 and he still saw it. 146 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,640 During the next several years, the boy 147 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,640 suffered severe stomach pains. 148 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,640 Doctors couldn't find a cause or a cure. 149 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,640 Eventually, like the man on the stairs, 150 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,640 the pains just started to come out. 151 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,640 And Mary was very surprised. 152 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,640 Eventually, like the man on the stairs, 153 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,640 the pains just disappeared. 154 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,640 I think it's going to come down to just plain being 155 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,640 I, saying it's unexplainable. 156 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,640 I can say that the medications that I've used for him 157 00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:00,640 have helped ameliorate his symptoms and maybe have helped 158 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,640 a little bit of the irritation that was there. 159 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,640 But as far as being able to cure and taking responsibility 160 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,640 for curing his problem, I cannot do that. 161 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,640 Mary and her husband considered moving many times, 162 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,640 but they had invested a good deal of money and effort 163 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,640 in the house, and they didn't want to risk losing it. 164 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,640 Finally, in 1993, Mary discovered what she now believes 165 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,640 is the key to the house's unsubtly history. 166 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,640 Rumor had it that the little boy who once lived there 167 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,640 and, in fact, died under mysterious circumstances 168 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:40,640 and was actually buried somewhere on the property. 169 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,640 It just was creepy. 170 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,640 I perhaps thought there might be a connection. 171 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:48,640 In fact, it wasn't a might be. 172 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,640 I was very concerned that there probably was a connection. 173 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,640 Mary went to bed that night, believing that the unhappy fate 174 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:02,640 of the little boy had somehow tainted her house with evil. 175 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,640 I felt an electrical shock going through my whole body. 176 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,640 The shocks were so strong that I felt as though I was well 177 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:15,640 to do that bed. 178 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,640 I thought I was going to die in that bed, actually, 179 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,640 because I couldn't escape it, and I 180 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,640 didn't know if there were going to be more shocks. 181 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,640 And then the radio started playing, which made it even worse. 182 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,640 It made it more bizarre. 183 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,640 Downstairs, Mary's second son, then a teenager, 184 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,640 had just finished showering. 185 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,640 He noticed that Dreyer had inexplicably gone on by itself 186 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,640 and could not be turned off. 187 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,640 And I attributed it to the spirit that I believe 188 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,640 exists in our home. 189 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:04,640 I was so angry that the pieces finally fit that it just went crazy. 190 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,640 When most people think of a haunted house, 191 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,640 they think of spirits of the dead. 192 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,640 But in most cases, houses that are haunted genuinely 193 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,640 appear to be haunted by some type of an energy force. 194 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,640 Dr. Andrew Nichols is a parapsychologist, a ghostbuster 195 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:25,640 who hunts unexplained phenomena with the latest in technology. 196 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,640 At the request of Unsolved Mysteries, 197 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,640 Dr. Nichols, his colleague Russ McCarty, 198 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,640 and another well-known parapsychologist, Dr. William Rowe, 199 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,640 investigated Mary's home. 200 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,640 Quite a bit of activity. 201 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,640 The box is moved. 202 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,640 We conducted a series of energy field scans throughout the house 203 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,640 to try to establish a baseline energy field reading, 204 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,640 electromagnetic, electric, magnetic fields, microwave fields, 205 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,640 to try to determine if there are any unusual energy fields 206 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,640 present in the house. 207 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,640 In one of the bedrooms, the parapsychologists found 208 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,640 an unusually strong electromagnetic field surrounding a dresser 209 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,640 left behind by previous owners. 210 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,640 One of the suggestions that I made to the family 211 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,640 was that they removed the dresser at least from the bedroom 212 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,640 and preferably from the house temporarily 213 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,640 and see if it has an effect on the haunting phenomena 214 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,640 that they're experiencing. 215 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,640 In many cases, we find that that's the case. 216 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,640 If a person has acquired a piece, an antique, 217 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,640 and suddenly haunting phenomena starts up, 218 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,640 it may be actually associated with that piece of furniture. 219 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,640 The parapsychologists found even stronger readings in the basement. 220 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:42,640 Run Abandoned Well ran down 120 feet to an underground lake. 221 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,640 We find many houses that are haunted 222 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,640 are located over sources of underground water, 223 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,640 and so there does seem to be a correlation. 224 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,640 This may conduct some form of psychic energy. 225 00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:00,640 It may conduct some form of natural, earth-based magnetic fields 226 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,640 that stimulates a person's psychic abilities. 227 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,640 The well pipe is located directly under the bedroom of the primary witness, 228 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,640 so it's possible that she is being exposed to these natural, earth-generated 229 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,640 magnetic and electrical fields on a regular basis. 230 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,640 People ask us frequently, do we believe in ghosts? 231 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,640 And the answer is yes, there's no question that people experience ghosts. 232 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,640 But what are they? 233 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,640 Are they actually spirits of the dead? 234 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,640 Are they some type of entities from another dimension? 235 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,640 Or are they some strange artifact of human psyche? 236 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,640 Unfortunately, those are questions which for now remain an unsolved mystery. 237 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,640 The World of Drugs 238 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:01,640 Coming up, did a missile cause the tragedy of TWA Flight 800? 239 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,640 Could the U.S. Navy be involved? 240 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,640 A special report on the controversy that refuses to go away. 241 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,640 But first, when an undercover drug operation goes bad, 242 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,640 a federal agent is gunned down. 243 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:26,640 The World of Drugs 244 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,640 I'd like to propose a toast to Richard Fass, 245 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,640 best agent this side of the Mississippi. 246 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,640 Here, here, thank you. 247 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:44,640 June 30, 1994 was a red-letter day for drug enforcement agent Richard Fass. 248 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,640 I just want to say that I'm really proud to work with all of you guys. 249 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,640 I mean, you guys are the best team of agents I ever worked with. 250 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,640 After more than eight years of dangerous undercover work, 251 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,640 he was finally leaving the streets. 252 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,640 Fass was being promoted to an administrative position. 253 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,640 Fass' partner, Michael Pellonera. 254 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,640 I think Richard was in a position where he was ready to advance his career. 255 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:17,640 This is really a positive stepping stone in an agent's career. 256 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,640 We're going to miss you, buddy. 257 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,640 Thank you, boss. 258 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,640 The lunch celebration ended at 2 p.m., 259 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,640 but Richard Fass had one last piece of unfinished business. 260 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:35,640 Late that afternoon, agents Fass and Pellonera drove to an automotive repair shop 261 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,640 just outside of Phoenix, Arizona. 262 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:43,640 They were posing as drug buyers and carrying $160,000 in cash. 263 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,640 It was Richard Fass' last undercover assignment. 264 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,640 The previous day he had set up a deal with this man, Augustine Vasquez Mendoza. 265 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:58,640 Mendoza had agreed to sell him 22 pounds of methamphetamine or speed. 266 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,640 Mendoza was known to agents Fass and Pellonera as Fernando. 267 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:09,640 6.45 p.m. Pellonera stays in the truck while Fass enters a garage. 268 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:14,640 The man in a dark blue shirt is a confidential police informant. 269 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:19,640 The other man is Juan Vasquez, an associate of Fernando's. 270 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,640 Fernando himself is not present. 271 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,640 The operation proceeds as expected. 272 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,640 Vasquez wants to see the case. 273 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,640 In the back of the garage, two more men wait. 274 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,640 On the left, a second police informant. 275 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:38,640 On the right, a man named Rafael Rubio, another associate of Fernando's. 276 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,640 Who's this? It's my brother, Loco. 277 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,640 How's it going? Let me see. 278 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,640 He looked into the duffel bag and didn't touch it or anything, 279 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,640 but he was able to see the car. 280 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,640 He looked into the duffel bag and didn't touch it or anything, 281 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:03,640 but apparently he was satisfied that there was in fact $160,000 there. 282 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,640 Yeah, we got a deal. 283 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,640 6.30 p.m. Vasquez apparently calls Fernando to confirm that the buy is good. 284 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,640 Enrique, yeah, you got it. 285 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:22,640 Vas waits outside until Agent Pellonaro repositions the truck. 286 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,640 6.32, Pellonaro puts backup units on alert. 287 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,640 The deal is going down. 288 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,640 6.35, the double cross. 289 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,640 Vasquez and Rubio want the drugs and the cash. 290 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,640 Get out of the way! 291 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,640 Richard told the individual that if he wanted the money, 292 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,640 that he didn't have to do this, that he had kids, he had a family, 293 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,640 that he was just doing this for profit, 294 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,640 and that he didn't have to do anything wrong, 295 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,640 that anything he wanted he could have. 296 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,640 One individual told the other one to handcuff Richard and the two informants. 297 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,640 I believe that Richard saw deaths staring him in the face, and he reacted. 298 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,640 Idiots! They say they fall in the mouth! 299 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:29,640 Rubio has been shot once. He and Vasquez flee in opposite directions. 300 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,640 All units, it's going to hell! It's a rip-off! It's a rip-off! I'm going in! 301 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,640 All the way! 302 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,640 It was very chaotic at that point, but when I saw the vehicle leaving, 303 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,640 I tried to ram it, and I missed it. 304 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,640 I was on the radio all this time, and I just... 305 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,640 I put out a message that that vehicle needs to be stopped. 306 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,640 He's been here! Vasquez's been here! Where is he? He's in there! Let's go! 307 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,640 With backup units in pursuit of the suspects, Pellonaro rushes inside. 308 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,640 Richard Fass has been shot five times at point blank range. 309 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,640 He will be dead within an hour. 310 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,640 641, drug enforcement agents high-speed pursuit of Rubio. 311 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,640 When he fled in the vehicle, it was rush hour traffic. 312 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,640 He was on both sides, weaving in and out of traffic, 313 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,640 and he was making every attempt possible to avoid being captured. 314 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:41,640 6.45 p.m. Vasquez enters an alleyway a few hundred feet from the crime scene. 315 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:58,640 652, three miles away, the agents close in on Rubio. 316 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,640 Freeze! 317 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,640 On the car! Get out of the car! 318 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,640 Get out of the car! 319 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,640 Get out of the car! 320 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,640 Get out of the car! 321 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,640 Get out of here! Get out! 322 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,640 By 7.15 p.m. it's all over. 323 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,640 Later, Rafael Rubio and Juan Vasquez are booked on charges of first-degree murder. 324 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,640 They are both convicted and sentenced to life in prison. 325 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,640 However, Augustine Vasquez Mendoza is still on the run. 326 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,640 He has also been charged with first-degree murder. 327 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,640 Authorities believe he masterminded the rip-off. 328 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,640 Robbery was their motive from the very onset. 329 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,640 I don't think that there was ever any intent to do a dope deal with us, 330 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,640 that they knew that the money was outside. 331 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,640 Apparently, these people did not want to negotiate. 332 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,640 They had a plan and no matter what Richard did or said, 333 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,640 was going to deviate them. 334 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,640 And at that particular point in time, I believe that Richard realized 335 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,640 that he had to do something to protect not only his life, 336 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,640 but the life of other people as well. 337 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,640 Richard Fass died a hero's death at the age of 37. 338 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,640 He was honored with a DEA's award of valor. 339 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,640 He left behind a wife and four children. 340 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,640 I lost my first friend. 341 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,640 I miss him purely. 342 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,640 Richard will always be in my heart. 343 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:35,640 Nothing can ever take those memories from me. 344 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:40,640 But our main intention now is to seek this fugitive that's out there. 345 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,640 Next, we will be talking about the death of Richard Fass. 346 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,640 He was a very young man. 347 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,640 He was a very young man. 348 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,640 He was a very young man. 349 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,640 He was a very young man. 350 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,640 He was a very young man. 351 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,640 He was a very young man. 352 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,640 He was a very young man. 353 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,640 Next, every week, millions of fans 354 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,640 thrilled to the feats of Zena, the warrior princess, 355 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,640 but did a legendary race of Amazon women ever truly exist? 356 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:21,640 They called them Amazons, strong fearless women like TV Zena, 357 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,640 ruthless warriors who dominated men. 358 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,640 Contrary to popular belief, the legend of the Amazon women 359 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,640 was the most famous woman in the world. 360 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,640 She was the most famous woman in the world. 361 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,640 She was the most famous woman in the world. 362 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,640 She was the most famous woman in the world. 363 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,640 Contrary to popular belief, the legend of the Amazon 364 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,640 did not originate in South America, but in ancient Greece, 365 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,640 where the historian Herodotus first immortalized 366 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,640 their mythic deeds in the 5th century BC. 367 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,640 Rumor had it that Amazons were so warrior 368 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,640 that they could not marry until they had first killed 369 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,640 an enemy in battle. 370 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,640 Even their name had awesome implications. 371 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,640 In Greek, Amazon apparently meant without one breast. 372 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,640 The women supposedly cut away their own flesh 373 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,640 to make it easier to shoot a bow and arrow. 374 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,640 The Greeks used the Amazons as the antithesis 375 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,640 of what a Greek woman should be. 376 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,640 The Greek woman should stay at home, 377 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,640 take care of the kids, take care of the house, 378 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,640 and the Amazon went out and fought the Greeks, 379 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,640 and so therefore she got what was coming to her 380 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,640 when she was killed. 381 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,640 For centuries, people assumed the tales of wild Amazon warriors 382 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,640 were merely fiction, an ancient myth created 383 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,640 to enhance the glory of Greece. 384 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,640 Now 2,500 years later, archaeological digs 385 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,640 on the windswept Russian steppes 386 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,640 have revealed a long-barried secret. 387 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,640 A tribe of nomadic women warriors, 388 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,640 perhaps real-life Amazons, once rode these desolate plains. 389 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,640 The goal is to determine, if we can determine 390 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,640 any specific ethnicity from these particular tribes, 391 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,640 they're Indo-European, but there may be subtle differences. 392 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,640 There are subtle differences. 393 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:15,640 Jeanine Davis Kimball, 394 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,640 and a team of American and Russian archaeologists, 395 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,640 has spent four years excavating 396 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,640 Iron Age burial mounds in southern Russia 397 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,640 that date from the time of Herodotus' writings. 398 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,640 Traditional scholars believe early nomads 399 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,640 were male-dominated tribes. 400 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,640 The men were the leaders, the warriors, the priests. 401 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,640 But these graves tell a new story. 402 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,640 We never think of women in the context of a nomadic society. 403 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,640 It's not ever been interpreted from that point of view. 404 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,640 So here we are, out of the steps, we're excavating nomads, 405 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,640 early nomads, and suddenly we have women with weapons. 406 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,640 Women who are actually controlling wealth 407 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,640 because of the wealth in their burials. 408 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,640 We have a different concept entirely 409 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,640 of what we think of nomads. 410 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,640 The burial mounds contain the graves of both men and women. 411 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,640 Perhaps the most intriguing remains 412 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,640 were those of a young girl, no more than 14 years old. 413 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,640 She was only as tall as an average woman today. 414 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,640 But the artifacts buried with her 415 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,640 prove she was no ordinary teenager. 416 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,640 She had a quiver by her side 417 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,640 that had a lot of bronze arrowheads in it. 418 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,640 She had a dagger on the other side. 419 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,640 And then there was this large boar's tusk that was drilled 420 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,640 and it was probably suspended around her waist from a cord. 421 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,640 Another woman was found with a bronze arrowhead, 422 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,640 still embedded in her body cavity, 423 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,640 a sign that she likely died in battle. 424 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,640 But these women were more than warriors. 425 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,640 The wide variety of ritual artifacts found in the graves 426 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,640 showed a society where the power of a woman 427 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,640 was often greater than that of a man. 428 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,640 The graves of the male nomads also revealed surprises. 429 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,640 We have a lesser variety of statuses 430 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:13,640 among the male population than among the female population. 431 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,640 There's guys that fight and there's guys that don't. 432 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,640 And we even have males that have a child buried with them. 433 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,640 And this is extremely unusual 434 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,640 because we have no females with a child buried. 435 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,640 But who were these warrior women? 436 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,640 Are they the archetypes for the Amazons? 437 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,640 Their matriarchal culture is gone, 438 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,640 overrun 2,000 years ago 439 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,640 by invading Mongols, Huns and Visigoths. 440 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,640 Today, only their bones bear witness. 441 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,640 We've scientifically proven that there were women warriors. 442 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,640 Number one, number two, 443 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,640 we have a lot of women that have been buried with them. 444 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,640 Number two, we also now realize 445 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,640 that women have not always been at the bottom of the pit 446 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,640 and can control their own lives 447 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,640 and be like a woman warrior. 448 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,640 The legend of the Amazon still echoes. 449 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,640 In South America, 450 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,640 the majestic Amazon River is named after them. 451 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,640 In the United States, 452 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,640 California takes its name from an Amazon queen, Caliphah. 453 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,640 And on telly, 454 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,640 the mythic power of warrior women continues to fascinate the world. 455 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,640 The discovery in Russia isn't definitive proof that Amazons were real, 456 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,640 but it does raise tantalizing possibilities. 457 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,640 Who knows what the next excavation will reveal? 458 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,640 Perhaps someday archeologists will discover evidence of other ancient fables. 459 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,640 The true root of Ulysses Odyssey, 460 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,640 the calcified bones of the Cyclops, 461 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,640 or the shattered marble columns of the lost city of Atlantis. 462 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,640 When we return, 463 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,640 a woman on the brink of death, 464 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,640 an extraordinary vision, 465 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,640 a breathtaking recovery that her doctor says can only be a miracle. 466 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,640 And later, ever since the crash of TWA Flight 800, 467 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,640 the investigation has been shadowed 468 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,640 by disturbing rumors of conspiracy and government cover-up. 469 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,640 According to all the medical literature, 470 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,640 Candi Gather, Hauner should have died in 1992. 471 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,640 She is convinced she is alive today 472 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,640 because her sister Roxy reached out to save her life. 473 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,640 If so, it's nothing less than amazing. 474 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,640 Roxy had been dead for 13 years. 475 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,640 In October of 1992, 476 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,640 Candi Hauner was fighting a critical rump 477 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,640 in an eight-year battle against leukemia, 478 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,640 a battle no one expected her to win. 479 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,640 Every day I felt I was getting worse, 480 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:18,640 that I didn't really know if I was going to make it. 481 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,640 Keep fighting, sweetheart. 482 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,640 When I started slipping into my coma, 483 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,640 I thought about Roxy. 484 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,640 I thought about seeing her in her hospital bed. 485 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,640 I thought about where mom and dad 486 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,640 are going to have to go through this again. 487 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,640 I thought a lot about that. 488 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,640 Candi and Roxy were the two oldest 489 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,640 and a family of six children. 490 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,640 They were the only girls born just 13 months apart. 491 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,640 They and their four brothers grew up 492 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,640 in a small farming community in Illinois. 493 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,640 Like most youngsters, 494 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,640 their sisters often fought as much as they played. 495 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,640 But by the time they were both adults and young mothers, 496 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,640 Candi and Roxy had formed a deep and permanent bond. 497 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,640 Roxy and I got real close. 498 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,640 Well, she became a mother first, and then I did. 499 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,640 So I asked her advice, and she gave it to me, 500 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,640 and we started getting along really, really well. 501 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:33,640 Then on February 27, 1979, Roxy was rushed to the hospital. 502 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,640 Roxy had suffered serious head injuries 503 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,640 after being thrown from a jeep. 504 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,640 I'm sorry, but we need to get Roxy to the hospital. 505 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,640 But we were still in a hurry, 506 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,640 and we were still awake and talking 507 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,640 that her condition was critical. 508 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,640 By the time Candi arrived, 509 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,640 Roxy had slipped into a coma. 510 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,640 I thought that she would be fine. 511 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,640 I thought she would wake up and... 512 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,640 And we'd go home and everything would be fine. 513 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,640 That's what I thought. 514 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,640 I love you, Roxy. 515 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,640 I know I've never said those words before, 516 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:21,640 but I hope you will always know that. 517 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,640 Candi never knew whether Roxy heard her words. 518 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,640 Two days later, Roxy died. 519 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,640 She was 22 years old. 520 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,640 It was really hard. 521 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,640 For a long time, I just... 522 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,640 I still thought she was just gone for a while. 523 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,640 She'd be back. 524 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,640 It took a long time for me to realize 525 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,640 that she was really gone, gone. 526 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,640 13 years later, Candi herself 527 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,640 was lying in a hospital, desperately ill. 528 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,640 After seven years in remission, 529 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,640 her cancer had revived, more virulent than ever. 530 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,640 The only hope was a bone marrow transplant. 531 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,640 At first, the transplant seemed to be a success, 532 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,640 but five days later, Candi's body began to shut down. 533 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,640 Her liver failed and she started sinking into a coma. 534 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,640 Her family had been very dedicated 535 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,640 in continuously supporting her, 536 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,640 talking to her and praying for her. 537 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,640 But there came a time when I felt 538 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,640 that I needed to prepare them for her possible death. 539 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,640 What Candi needed was a miracle 540 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,640 and she believed she got one. 541 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,640 At some point during her ordeal, 542 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,640 Candi says she felt a gentle touch upon her hand 543 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,640 and awoke to see a young woman bathed in white light. 544 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:46,640 Roxy. 545 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,640 It was Roxy, exactly as she had appeared in life. 546 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,640 Candi, I love you, but you can't come with me now. 547 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,640 Mom and Dad need you here. 548 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,640 I was so glad to see you. 549 00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,640 You need to stay and fight this. 550 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:00,640 They had been so long. 551 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:01,640 I can't. 552 00:33:02,640

692 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,640 The government has said they found nothing conclusive 693 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,640 to indicate a missile hit. 694 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,640 Pierre Salinger disagrees. 695 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,640 Moreover, we have discovered that certain bodies on the plane 696 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:07,640 were crushed by something which went through the plane, the missile. 697 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,640 Let us suppose, for the sake of argument, 698 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,640 that the conspiracies are right. 699 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,640 There is some circumstantial evidence to support their claims. 700 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,640 The Navy has admitted that military exercises 701 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,640 were being conducted off the Long Island coast 702 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,640 the night of the crash. 703 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,640 In fact, TWA 800 diverted from its original flight path 704 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,640 to avoid a restricted area. 705 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,640 The Navy will almost certainly try to conduct exercises 706 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,640 where we are not going to get in the way of shipping. 707 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,640 And they don't really fire many missiles 708 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,640 because the darn things cost a million dollars each. 709 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:47,640 So, you know, they really don't do exercises. 710 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,640 They assume that if they get a radar lock on with the ship, 711 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,640 they will get a hit and they just can't afford to shoot them any missiles. 712 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,640 But suppose the Navy did shoot a live missile that night. 713 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,640 Either accidentally or intentionally. 714 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,640 Then where could it have come from? 715 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,640 According to the Navy, the USS Normandy 716 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,640 was the only ship with standard missile capability in the area. 717 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,640 The Normandy was reportedly on maneuvers in the Atlantic, 718 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,640 180 miles south of the crash site. 719 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:26,640 The main problem is that the maximum range of the standard missile is 80 miles. 720 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,640 And the Normandy was alleged to be 180 miles away from the incident. 721 00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,640 So, it just doesn't make sense. 722 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:42,640 If a missile ship had been within the 80 mile radius to shoot it, 723 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,640 the eyewitnesses would have seen a tremendous flash of light 724 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,640 because the initial launch of standard missile 725 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,640 essentially lights up the night sky. 726 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,640 But regardless of what they say, 727 00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:00,640 we have now reached the point where we are totally sure 728 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,640 that what we are saying is true. 729 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,640 Assume again that the conspiracy theorists are right. 730 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,640 And the Normandy or some other ship was in fact within range 731 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,640 and did accidentally shoot down the airliner. 732 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:17,640 Is it conceivable that the Navy brass could successfully engineer a cover-up?
