The New York Times

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Tonight on Unsolved Mysteries

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
They are known as men in black.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
They are the vanguard of the UFO phenomenon,

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
cloaked in a veil of secrecy and quasi-official intimidation.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
No one knows exactly who they are, who they represent,

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
or where they come from.

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
It was a bizarre transcontinental odyssey

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
that began at a border crossing in western Canada

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
and ended in a deserted parking lot in Tennessee.

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
What prompted Blair Adams' sad and lonely journey to murder?

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Rosemary Altea says she was still a young child

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
when she had her first encounters with the spirit world.

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Today Rosemary believes she's been blessed with a rare ability

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
to communicate with the dead,

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
and those who have witnessed her sessions are convinced

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Rosemary's powers are real.

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
This woman needs your help.

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Some 30 years ago, circumstances forced her to put her newborn son up for adoption.

20
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Now a serious genetic disorder has turned her search for that son

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000
into a matter of life and death.

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Join me for these intriguing new cases.

23
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Perhaps you may be able to help solve the mystery.

24
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,000
As you ask that question, in huge letters...

25
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
These people share tragedy.

26
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Death has taken someone dear to each of them.

27
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
In almost every case, it was a young child.

28
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
She writes love.

29
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
The message for her father and for you is love.

30
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Now, the message for her father is love.

31
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
She writes love.

32
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
She writes love.

33
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
She writes love.

34
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
The message for her father and for you is love.

35
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Now they're desperately hoping this woman

36
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000
can connect them to those loved ones just one more time.

37
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Her name is Rosemary Altair.

38
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
She claims she can commune with the spirits of the dead.

39
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
I'm instructed to tell you that is handsome.

40
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Yes.

41
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Of course it is.

42
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Rosemary considers this a rare gift.

43
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000
A gift she first became aware of as a little girl in England.

44
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
How sick he was.

45
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Good night, Rosemary.

46
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Have a good night's sleep, all right?

47
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
In the beginning, Rosemary says her encounters

48
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
with the spirit world were confusing and very frightening.

49
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Rosemary.

50
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Rosemary.

51
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Rosemary.

52
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
You would call them ghosts, but as a child,

53
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
I just knew them as faces and voices.

54
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
But voices would be whispering and whispering at me.

55
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
I would never quite hear what they would say.

56
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Sometimes they would call my name.

57
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
It would be very eerie, very ghostly.

58
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000
And it was very, very scary.

59
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
I was a terrified child.

60
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Mommy! Mommy!

61
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000
If I cried out in the night because I was scared,

62
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
my parents would basically yell at me.

63
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,000
And I just would seem to be a bad child.

64
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Put yourself towards yourself.

65
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000
You don't want to end up like your grandmother, do you?

66
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Rosemary's family had a history of insanity.

67
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Her grandmother has spent her last days

68
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000
confined to a mental hospital.

69
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000
You know, as children do, I learned very quickly,

70
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000
very fast to keep my, what was happening,

71
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,000
my thoughts, my feelings, and my fears to myself.

72
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,000
And I grew up that way, never daring to tell anyone

73
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000
because my greatest fear was that they would come

74
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000
and put me in a straight jacket.

75
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
The last week, we made a certain amount of headway.

76
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Rosemary kept her secret for more than 20 years.

77
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Then she met a man who changed her life.

78
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
He told her she wasn't crazy.

79
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
She was psychic.

80
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Good. Now that we're all here.

81
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
He introduced Rosemary to other psychics,

82
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
and they began helping her unleash the power within.

83
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
As they do, we start to breathe deeply.

84
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000
During one channeling session,

85
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Rosemary says she learned she had a spirit guide.

86
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,000
And Apache shaman named Gray Eagle.

87
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000
He has the most extraordinary eyes.

88
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,000
His face, his skin is dark.

89
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000
And he's here to help me communicate with other spirits

90
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000
who have passed on to get messages to family and friends.

91
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Suddenly, everything made sense.

92
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000
It was like walking out of a very dark tunnel.

93
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Imagine that you are walking in a dark tunnel

94
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,000
with no light for all of your life.

95
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000
And suddenly you discover sun.

96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Suddenly you discover the sunshine.

97
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000
I see a bird in the distance.

98
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Rosemary decided then and there

99
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000
to dedicate her life to working with those who had lost loved ones.

100
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Great Eagle perhaps.

101
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,000
In 1995, she published a best-selling book about her experiences,

102
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000
The Eagle and the Rose.

103
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Hello.

104
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Will you sign her copy?

105
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
It was at a book signing in New Jersey

106
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000
that Rosemary met a couple named Tony and Marie.

107
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Miss Altaya. Yes.

108
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Hi. I was wondering, do you ever speak at bereavement groups?

109
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Of course. If you'd like to see my publicist,

110
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000
she's right back there and she'll make all the arrangements for you.

111
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Thank you. Oh, you lost a little girl.

112
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000
To cancer.

113
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Oh, Lord, look at all the spirits around you.

114
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000
At that point, we all fell off.

115
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
We kind of fell apart because we couldn't believe that this woman,

116
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000
we had no idea who she was, knew this.

117
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,000
I'll just take a seat right here.

118
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Two years earlier, Tony and Marie had lost

119
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,000
her three-and-a-half-year-old daughter Michelle to leukemia.

120
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,000
When the book signing was over,

121
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Rosemary tried to make contact with Michelle's spirit.

122
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Little girl.

123
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
She's really happy that you saved a card.

124
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000
There's a special card that you saved in a drawer for her.

125
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
And the picture that she made,

126
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000
that you have hidden in a box in the closet,

127
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000
she's very pleased you kept those things.

128
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,000
To Tony and Marie, that message was startling.

129
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000
One of Michelle's favorite play things was a Valentine card

130
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Tony had given Marie.

131
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,000
My favorite card!

132
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Goodness, that card, the magical love card, huh?

133
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Let's see. Shall we read it?

134
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Beautiful.

135
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Later when Michelle was hospitalized,

136
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000
a therapist helped her make a flower picture for her parents.

137
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000
A piece of art they still treasure.

138
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,000
No one except for my wife, my daughter and me,

139
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,000
are the only three that knew about the card

140
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
and the card in the closet that we kept.

141
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
And at that point in time, I was absolutely convinced

142
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:28,000
that this woman has an ability to speak to people on the other side.

143
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
She's quite adamant about her.

144
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Hands are on her feet.

145
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
As we left the book, the biggest amazement

146
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
was trying to get over the shock of everything

147
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
that just happened that night.

148
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
I mean, I couldn't believe what happened.

149
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,000
And upon us discussing it and talking about it,

150
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,000
I had a feeling of so much joy and so much peace

151
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,000
that I can't even describe.

152
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
I'm so pleased to be with all of you.

153
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Tony and Marie were members of a bereavement group.

154
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
The other members were hoping Rose and Mary

155
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,000
would be just as successful at contacting their loved ones.

156
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Some, though, harbored quiet doubts.

157
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Will you be speaking with us as a group?

158
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
The ability to be able to be in touch with spirits

159
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
was very spooky to me,

160
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000
and I was somewhat taken aback by someone

161
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
saying they had the ability to do that.

162
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000
And he's with you all the time.

163
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Is that your son?

164
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Yes.

165
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
As she progressed around the room,

166
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,000
she was identifying several people

167
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000
and their associated child and what the child died from.

168
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000
But the older one, she's older than any of the other children.

169
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000
And she was telling the right stories about the right people.

170
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Yes.

171
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000
And when she got to me and my wife,

172
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000
we were sitting there and she was saying,

173
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
she looked at us and she said,

174
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
your child died of a brain tumor.

175
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Rosemary was right.

176
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:56,000
20-year-old Stephanie Bozak had died of a brain tumor in 1994.

177
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,000
She asked me to tell you that she has a scar on her head.

178
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,000
That's right.

179
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,000
She's very happy that you saved a lock of her hair.

180
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Is that true?

181
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
I did do that.

182
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,000
And she really is happy about the statue for you.

183
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,000
The statue, there's a man with a stick, possibly.

184
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Like a trophy.

185
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000
That's it. It's a trophy.

186
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
She's very pleased about the trophy.

187
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000
I won a golf trophy at the country club two nights ago.

188
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Nobody knew about that.

189
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000
I was absolutely flabbergasted.

190
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,000
I felt like I was really connecting with Stephanie.

191
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,000
She was there in the room with us that night.

192
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,000
And that pushed me over the edge.

193
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,000
That gave me the belief that Rosemary was doing something that was real.

194
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000
I don't know how Rosemary does what she does.

195
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,000
And I don't spend a lot of time trying to figure it out.

196
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000
I think it's something you get a benefit from,

197
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000
and you either accept it or you reject it.

198
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
And it helps you get through sometimes.

199
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,000
She's looking at me very seriously.

200
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000
She says, I'm to tell you, and you won't be satisfied with this.

201
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
I have to warn you now.

202
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,000
People are given tremendous hope,

203
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,000
tremendous hope.

204
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000
I'm here now.

205
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000
They're often given the strength and the encouragement

206
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,000
to go on with their lives, to live their lives more positively.

207
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000
She says, is to just get on with your lives.

208
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
And she's asking, please, will you try?

209
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,000
I just have a job to do, just like everyone else.

210
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,000
My job just happens to be a little bit more extraordinary.

211
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Can the spirits of the dead return to communicate with the living?

212
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Skeptics suggest that people who believe they can

213
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000
are at best indulging in wishful thinking.

214
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Nevertheless, those who've experienced Rosemary Altea's power

215
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000
are convinced they have indeed received messages of love

216
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000
from beyond the grave.

217
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Coming up.

218
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
If you ever report that you've seen a UFO,

219
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,000
you may read the news on the Internet.

220
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,000
On the Internet, you may receive some unexpected visitors,

221
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000
who are the mysterious men in black.

222
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
But first, a woman's search for her long lost son

223
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,000
becomes a race against time when she is diagnosed

224
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000
with a life-threatening illness.

225
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,000
MUSIC

226
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:37,000
MUSIC

227
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Sometimes one decision made with the best of intentions

228
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
can change our lives forever.

229
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000
That was certainly the case for 15-year-old Bobby Page

230
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,000
of Idaho Falls Idol.

231
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,000
You guys talking that sleeping bag?

232
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,000
On a warm summer night in 1965,

233
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Bobby gave in to youthful desire and the young man she loved.

234
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000
I love you.

235
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000
I love you.

236
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
And I want to marry you, Bobby.

237
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
I believed what he said.

238
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000
I believed that he wanted to marry me.

239
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000
That night I knew that I was pregnant.

240
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
I was excited because I thought I was getting married.

241
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
I was very happy.

242
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000
I was very excited.

243
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,000
I was thinking about having a wedding

244
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:41,000
and that this was my night in shining armor coming to rescue me.

245
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000
But just two weeks later,

246
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,000
a vicious rumor brought Bobby's romantic fantasy crashing to the ground.

247
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Word had it that Bobby's boyfriend was not the baby's father.

248
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Give me my ring back right now.

249
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Why? What's wrong?

250
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,000
You lied to me.

251
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Brad told me that you're two months pregnant.

252
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Did you think I wasn't going to find out?

253
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Brad has no idea what he's talking about

254
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
and why would you listen to Brad before you would listen to me?

255
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
My sister even told me you cannot get pregnant

256
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
after having sex only one time

257
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
and you don't have morning sickness after only being pregnant for two weeks.

258
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Your sister is crazy.

259
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
And if you don't believe me, we can go to the doctor and he'll tell you.

260
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Why would I go to the doctor? This has nothing to do with me.

261
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
It does. It's your baby.

262
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,000
It's not my baby. Give me my ring now.

263
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Don't wait. Don't wait.

264
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
I was very afraid.

265
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Don't, please don't do this.

266
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,000
I knew that I was pregnant and he was leaving me

267
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,000
and I didn't want him to leave.

268
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000
I didn't want him to leave me. I felt betrayed.

269
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Nine months later, on the day before Mother's Day,

270
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Bobby gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

271
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Early on, she had made the painful decision

272
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,000
to put her child up for adoption.

273
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
I'm going to see him.

274
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000
I knew that I couldn't keep him.

275
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
There was no way I could keep him.

276
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,000
And I wanted what was best for him.

277
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,000
And I knew that giving him up for adoption

278
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,000
would give him the best chance at a good life.

279
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Miss Page, I am taking over for your case work at this time.

280
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Bobby had been sedated when her son was born

281
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
and now she desperately wished to see him.

282
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
But even that proved difficult.

283
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
I'm not signing these papers until I see my baby.

284
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Bobby.

285
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
I'm sorry that's not loud.

286
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
My doctor and case worker agreed that I would not sign

287
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,000
anything until I saw my baby.

288
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000
I'm sorry. It's hospital policy.

289
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,000
I'm not signing these.

290
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
In the end, Bobby prevailed.

291
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,000
But it was a bittersweet victory that has haunted her ever since.

292
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000
The heart-wrenching joy of seeing her child

293
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,000
for the first time and the last.

294
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Please, baby.

295
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,000
I wanted him.

296
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:13,000
I wanted to take him home.

297
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,000
He had blue eyes.

298
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:20,000
He opened them and looked at me.

299
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:25,000
He was beautiful.

300
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,000
It's time to go.

301
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:35,000
I was just totally, emotionally drained after that.

302
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,000
I was, I sobbed all the way back to the room.

303
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,000
I don't think I quit sobbing for weeks after that.

304
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,000
But I signed the papers.

305
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,000
I don't think I could even see what I was signing.

306
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
I just said, where do you want me to sign?

307
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000
And I signed the papers.

308
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Thank you, Ms. Page.

309
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Bobby eventually married and had three more children.

310
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:11,000
But she never forgot the son she left behind.

311
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,000
In 1984, when he turned 18, Bobby traveled to the adoption

312
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,000
center that had handled the case.

313
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Bobby thought she could now gain access to her son's records

314
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
and find out where he was.

315
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000
And he's 18.

316
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Well, I'm sorry.

317
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
I don't know where you heard that information.

318
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Unfortunately, once the records are sealed,

319
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,000
we cannot open them no matter what the child's age is.

320
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,000
So there's really nothing we can show you.

321
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Although we can't have you fill out a letter.

322
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000
And if he ever comes to us looking for information

323
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,000
about his birth mother, well, then we

324
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
can show him this information.

325
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000
And then maybe he can contact you.

326
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Bobby wrote the letter and spent the next several years

327
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,000
waiting for her son to answer.

328
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,000
He never did.

329
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Then in 1993, a tragic series of events

330
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,000
turned Bobby's search into a desperate race against time.

331
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Bobby was diagnosed with chronic active autoimmune hepatitis,

332
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,000
a rare genetic disorder in which her own antibodies attack

333
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,000
and will eventually destroy her liver.

334
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Bobby was told she had it most 10 years to live.

335
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,000
There is no cure for chronic active autoimmune hepatitis.

336
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,000
The advantage of finding Bob at son now would be that if he

337
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:34,000
did have the disease, he could be treated early,

338
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,000
prevent liver damage, and extend his life quite a lot.

339
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Since the diagnosis, Bobby has stepped up her search

340
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,000
with a full support of her other three children,

341
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,000
who all run the risk of inheriting her disorder.

342
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,000
I want to see her happy.

343
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,000
I want to see her enjoy this time that she has left.

344
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:04,000
And I think that finding my older brother would do that far.

345
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,000
A lot can happen in 30 years.

346
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Her curiosities range from everything to

347
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,000
what is he doing with his life now in terms of career,

348
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000
how was his home life, everything like that.

349
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Was it everything she had hoped it would have been

350
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,000
by giving him up for adoption in order to provide a better life for him?

351
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,000
What I want is to let him know that I love him,

352
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000
and I've always loved him.

353
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:39,000
And that I loved him from day one.

354
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:45,000
That I always cared about him, and that I wanted the very best for him.

355
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,000
And that my hope is that he's had a wonderful life.

356
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,000
When we return, no one knows why Blair Adams left his home in Canada

357
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000
and why he turned up dead in Tennessee.

358
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Was he running from a killer or from his own personal demons?

359
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,000
And later, dozens of people claim they've encountered

360
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
the so-called men in black.

361
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Are they secret government operatives assigned to investigate UFOs,

362
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,000
or do they come from a place beyond space and time?

363
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Strangers found him, half dressed and battered

364
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,000
in a parking lot on a gray July morning in 1996.

365
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Scattered around the body was a mix of German, Canadian,

366
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,000
and US currency totaling some $4,000.

367
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000
His wallet was intact, and his contents identified him

368
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:06,000
as 31-year-old Blair Adams of Surrey, British Columbia in Western Canada.

369
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Every aspect of this case is mysterious.

370
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000
There's no logical explanation for anything he did.

371
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,000
We can't say for a fact that this is why he did that,

372
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,000
because there's no explanation for it.

373
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,000
We cannot come up with a motive for this man to be dead.

374
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,000
We can't come up for a reasoning for him to be here.

375
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,000
We can't come up for a reason for him to leave Canada.

376
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Nobody knew he was going to take his trip.

377
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Nobody.

378
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,000
This is an actual who done it.

379
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,000
The investigation has not stalled for lack of evidence.

380
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,000
As Blair Adams wandered the continent left indelible impressions

381
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,000
on everyone he met, authorities have now been able to reconstruct

382
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,000
his baffling 3,000-mile journey in exhaustive detail.

383
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,000
But still no one knows why Blair left home,

384
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000
or why he ended up in Knoxville, Tennessee.

385
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
No one knows whether Blair Adams was running from a killer

386
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,000
or if he was just running from himself.

387
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Prior to his mysterious death, Blair Adams was a foreman

388
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,000
with a construction company in Surrey, British Columbia.

389
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Those who knew him say Blair liked his work and did it well.

390
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Blair did seem to have a normal life.

391
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
He had many friends.

392
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000
He had a job.

393
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,000
He traveled on occasion.

394
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Had a history of several different girlfriends.

395
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Was well liked by virtually everyone that we've had contact with.

396
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:44,000
However, in the summer of 1996, Blair's cheery demeanor began to crack and buckle.

397
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Now his mood swung unpredictably from agitated paranoia to pensive withdrawal.

398
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Something was obviously very much matter.

399
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,000
He hadn't been sleeping well.

400
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Something was wrong.

401
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,000
I asked him numerous times what was wrong, and he said,

402
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,000
oh, I don't think I should tell you about it.

403
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:14,000
And to this day, I don't know what it is.

404
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Whatever trouble it was brewing in Blair's life began to boil up

405
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
on Friday, July 5th.

406
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,000
He withdrew his savings and emptied his safe deposit box

407
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:28,000
of more than $6,000 in cash and thousands more in jewelry, gold and platinum.

408
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,000
It was a first stop on a dead end run to Tennessee.

409
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,000
The next stop was a Canadian-American border.

410
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,000
On Sunday, Blair made the first of several attempts to enter the United States.

411
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,000
As he would so often in the last days of his life, Blair left a lasting impression.

412
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Where are you going?

413
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Seattle.

414
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Can you step out of the car?

415
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
I want to see some ID.

416
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,000
As an unmarried young man carrying a large amount of cash,

417
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Blair fit the profile of a drug trafficker.

418
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,000
He was refused entry.

419
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,000
The next day, Monday, Blair showed up at his job, but not to work.

420
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
I need to quit my job.

421
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Why?

422
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Need some time.

423
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,000
Can I get my check?

424
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Blair's erratic behavior continued.

425
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,000
That afternoon, he spent $1,600 on a round-trip airline ticket

426
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,000
from Vancouver, Canada to Frankfurt, Germany.

427
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000
His flight would leave the following day.

428
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,000
But just hours after buying the ticket to Germany,

429
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Blair was again desperate to get into the United States.

430
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,000
He showed up at a friend's house in a panic.

431
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Blair.

432
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
I'm sorry to come by so late, but I need your help.

433
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
I really need you to help me, Kate.

434
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,000
It's almost one.

435
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,000
I need you to take me to the border.

436
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,000
Take you to the border?

437
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,000
It's the middle of the night.

438
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,000
I just, I just need you to drive.

439
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,000
I got a car.

440
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Blair, I can't leave my kids.

441
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Kate, somebody's trying to kill me.

442
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Kill you?

443
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Yeah.

444
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Yeah, kill you.

445
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Blair provided no details about the death threat.

446
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,000
I'm sorry.

447
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000
His friend was unable to take him over the border.

448
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,000
OK.

449
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Forget about it.

450
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Sorry to bother you.

451
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Thanks.

452
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Back to you.

453
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,000
On Tuesday, Blair went to the Vancouver Airport as scheduled.

454
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
But instead of boarding the plane for Germany,

455
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
he turned in his tickets, rented a car,

456
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000
and headed back to the border.

457
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
This time, he managed to slip through.

458
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Blair was in Seattle by 4 PM.

459
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,000
He left his rental car, a Nissan, at the airport

460
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,000
and bought a one-way ticket to Washington, DC.

461
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,000
The one-way ticket was odd because he paid about $770

462
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,000
for a one-way ticket when he could have purchased

463
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,000
a round-trip ticket for approximately $350 or $400.

464
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,000
So it would have been half the price for a round-trip ticket

465
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,000
as he paid for a one-way ticket.

466
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000
It just seemed very unusual.

467
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000
After arriving in DC early Wednesday morning,

468
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Blair rented a white Toyota and continued his peculiar odyssey.

469
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Now he was headed to Knoxville, more than 500 miles to the southwest.

470
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,000
His travel was unlogical in itself.

471
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,000
I mean, when I go to DC, the turn around to come back to Knoxville,

472
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,000
he had no business or no reason to be in East Tennessee.

473
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,000
He had no business or no reason to be in Knoxville.

474
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Everything we can find out, he knows no one in East Tennessee

475
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
or the Eastern United States.

476
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,000
Hi. Hi. Can you help me? I can't get my car started.

477
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,000
What's the problem?

478
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Blair was first seen in Knoxville around 5.30 that afternoon.

479
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
This can't be your key. Yeah, that's my key.

480
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Oh, this is a Nissan key. Yeah.

481
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Well, this is a Toyota. So?

482
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Well, it won't start it.

483
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Well, that's the key I've been using.

484
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
You have another key? No.

485
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Are you sure?

486
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,000
So the mechanic says, OK, empty out your pockets and let's look for it.

487
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,000
He empties out all his pockets. There is no key to the Toyota.

488
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Blair was stranded in Knoxville until Monday morning

489
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,000
when he could get a new key from his rental car company.

490
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000
A mechanic drove Blair to a nearby hotel

491
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,000
where he once again made an unforgettable impression

492
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,000
this time on the desk clerk.

493
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,000
The best way to describe him would be paranoid.

494
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,000
He just was very nervous, agitated,

495
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,000
expecting someone to come in on him

496
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
even though there wasn't anybody there.

497
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000
I don't know who he was looking for,

498
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,000
but he was waiting for somebody to walk in for him.

499
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Perhaps Blair was being followed. Perhaps he only thought so.

500
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,000
The hotel's security camera shows that in the space of an hour,

501
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,000
he went in and out of the lobby five times

502
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
before finally paying for a room.

503
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,000
We can only assume that something was wrong with his thought process.

504
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,000
He wasn't acting rationally.

505
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,000
After a while, Blair was left alone

506
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000
and he was left alone in the hotel.

507
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,000
He was left alone in the hotel.

508
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,000
He was left alone in the hotel.

509
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000
He was left alone rationally.

510
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000
After checking in, Blair pocketed the key.

511
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000
But instead of going to his room,

512
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,000
he marched out the front door and never came back.

513
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,000
It was 7.37 p.m.

514
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,000
and it was the last time Blair Adams was known to be alive.

515
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
12 hours later, Blair's body was found in a parking lot

516
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
about a half mile from his hotel.

517
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,000
He was naked from the waist down.

518
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:30,000
Blair's death was as enigmatic as the last few days of his life.

519
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,000
His pants were removed in a way

520
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,000
not like someone would take their own pants off,

521
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,000
but in a way that someone else would remove your pants from you

522
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,000
in a pulling motion, whereas pants were turned inside out.

523
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,000
His socks were turned inside out, his shoes were off,

524
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,000
and his shirt was ripped open.

525
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,000
$4,000 in American, Canadian and German currency

526
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,000
was strewn around Blair's body.

527
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Another $2,000 worth of jewelry, gold and platinum

528
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,000
was found inside a small pack.

529
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,000
And there was one other perplexing clue.

530
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000
The key to Blair's Toyota had suddenly reappeared

531
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,000
about 10 feet from his body.

532
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,000
We started looking at the angle of maybe a drug deal going bad.

533
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000
That didn't pan out.

534
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000
We started thinking about Robert Robert.

535
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000
It was immediately first thought of,

536
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000
why is he still there?

537
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,000
We tried to find anything in his background

538
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,000
that would lead us to believe that he frequent with prostitutes

539
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,000
or that he even had any homosexual experiences.

540
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Anything to explain how he was found, the way he was found,

541
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,000
we found nothing.

542
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,000
According to the autopsy report,

543
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Blair had sustained numerous cuts and abrasions.

544
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Police believe some of the wounds came from fending off an attack.

545
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Blair was ultimately killed by a violent blow

546
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,000
that ruptured his stomach.

547
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Although Blair had been adamant that his life was in danger,

548
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,000
authorities now believe the threat was imaginary

549
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
and that Blair's bizarre pilgrimage

550
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,000
was a wild flight from his own inner demons.

551
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,000
And yet somehow at the end of the road,

552
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Blair Adams wound up dead just as he had feared.

553
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,000
I want Blair back.

554
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,000
I want him well and healthy.

555
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,000
I want him to knock on the front door and come in.

556
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,000
But obviously, that's not going to happen.

557
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
I don't know.

558
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000
You know, Blair is dead.

559
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:45,000
And it would be nice to have some understanding of why he died.

560
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Blair Adams was killed on July 11th, 1996,

561
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,000
near Interstate Highway 40 in Knoxville.

562
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Authorities believe the fatal attack occurred at around 3.30 AM.

563
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Never underestimate the power of prayer,

564
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,000
a simple expression of faith that is endured for centuries,

565
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000
a testament to the timeless belief

566
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,000
that through spiritual devotion, anything is possible.

567
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Even miracles, both great and small.

568
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,000
It was the summer of 1995.

569
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Linda Gordon, a divorced mother of four,

570
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000
was living in Sackets Harbor, New York.

571
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,000
At the time, Linda was longing to meet a man she could love,

572
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
a man she could marry.

573
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,000
I was sitting outside my front porch,

574
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
and I was reading my Bible.

575
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,000
And I glanced up and I saw a man jogging.

576
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Three months earlier, I had written in my prayer journal

577
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,000
that I felt I was ready for a husband,

578
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,000
and that if God wanted me to have one, to send him to my door.

579
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
And then I called all my friends and family

580
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
and said, I'm praying for a husband.

581
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,000
And they laughed and said that the only guy I was going to marry

582
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,000
that came to my door would be the pizza guy.

583
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,000
But this guy was not delivering anything.

584
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,000
In fact, he was searching for love, just like Linda.

585
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,000
I want to introduce myself.

586
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
I'm David Shublack.

587
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,000
I'm Linda.

588
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Nice to meet you.

589
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,000
Yeah, nice to meet you.

590
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,000
David was a major in the Army

591
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,000
on temporary assignment at nearby Fort Drum.

592
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
I've seen you sitting here before.

593
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,000
I just felt a warm glow and then goose bumps on top of that.

594
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,000
And a voice spoke to my heart and said,

595
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,000
this is the man you've been praying for.

596
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,000
For both Linda and David, it was literally a match made in heaven.

597
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
Four months later, they were married,

598
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,000
just hours before David shipped out to Louisiana for six weeks.

599
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,000
But their married life together didn't begin until late November

600
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,000
when Linda joined David at Fort Huachuca in Arizona.

601
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Six days later, David set off on his usual morning run.

602
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,000
His route took him to the far reaches of the base.

603
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Where the sidewalk ended,

604
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,000
David began running along the shoulder of the road.

605
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,000
He was headed east, directly into a blinding sun.

606
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:41,000
David had been struck full force by a car traveling at 52 miles an hour.

607
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,000
He was catapulted some 60 feet through the air

608
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,000
and landed head first on the pavement.

609
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,000
Traffic accident, bilateral leg fractures.

610
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,000
I think he was...

611
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
David had suffered several massive injuries

612
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,000
and had to be taken to the hospital.

613
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,000
He was shot in the head and then taken to the hospital.

614
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000
He was shot in the head and then taken to the hospital.

615
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,000
David had suffered several massive skull fractures,

616
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,000
broken both his legs and his left arm.

617
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Within hours, he was airlifted to the University Medical Center in Tucson.

618
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:16,000
We've been certainly disheartened that it increased his barbiturates.

619
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,000
Those were shoe-black, synachranial pressures continued to increase.

620
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Shortly after his admission to the intensive care unit,

621
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,000
the normal functions of his brain just obviously were stopping.

622
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,000
We usually start to become worried about patients' synchro-cranial pressure

623
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,000
once it gets over a level of 15 to 20 millimeters

624
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,000
and it's sustained for that level.

625
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Major shoe-black synchro-cranial pressure

626
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,000
was really three to four times what we normally would consider

627
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,000
a survivable intracranial pressure in an individual.

628
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,000
That pressure was causing David's brain to swell uncontrollably.

629
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Dr. Smith told Linda there was little hope for his recovery.

630
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,000
I felt like I was being sucked down a drain

631
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,000
and I wasn't going to allow that to happen.

632
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,000
I wasn't going to lose hope and I wasn't going to accept

633
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,000
the negativity that the doctor was saying,

634
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,000
even though it was true medical science.

635
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,000
After five days, the time came for Linda and David's family

636
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,000
to make a heart-wrenching decision.

637
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,000
David is clinically brain dead.

638
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
You and your family have three options.

639
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,000
You can leave him in the hospital and maintain life support.

640
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,000
You can take him home with you on life support.

641
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Or, since he indicated he wished to be an organ donor,

642
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,000
you can sign the papers to harvest his organs.

643
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:47,000
I had to get spiritually radical because things were getting very intense

644
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,000
and I had a lot of pressure on me through various people

645
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,000
and it's not a negative thing, but here was an organ donor

646
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,000
and there are people that need organs and I totally agree with that.

647
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,000
But I couldn't sign the harvest the organ papers

648
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000
if I knew in my heart that David wasn't dead.

649
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,000
Linda once again turned to the Bible for inspiration.

650
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,000
She was immediately drawn to the story of Lazarus.

651
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,000
According to the Bible, Jesus brought Lazarus back to life

652
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000
after he'd been dead for four days.

653
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Linda prayed that God would do the same for David.

654
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,000
And Jesus said,

655
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,000
He who believeth in me, though he were dead, shall still live.

656
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,000
And whoever believeth in me shall never die.

657
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Believeth, thou this.

658
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000
I did all I knew how to do spiritually.

659
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Medical science couldn't save David.

660
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,000
They said he was dead.

661
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,000
Money couldn't save David.

662
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Only God could save David.

663
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,000
A few hours later, Dr. Smith went in to check on David's vital signs.

664
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,000
I was amazed when I examined him that instead of maybe

665
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,000
one or two primitive reflexes, he actually opened his eyes

666
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,000
and started to look around.

667
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,000
David?

668
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,000
David, can you hear me?

669
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Very quite eerie.

670
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Certainly out of the ordinary.

671
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
It was not something that we expected to see.

672
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Rather gave me chills up and down my spine when I saw this.

673
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,000
When Linda returned to the hospital,

674
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,000
David's father was waiting with the astonishing news.

675
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Linda.

676
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,000
Now don't get your hopes up.

677
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,000
What?

678
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,000
But there was a flicker of response when the doctors

679
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,000
checked David this morning.

680
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,000
That wasn't a flicker.

681
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000
That was the flame of God.

682
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Linda, we'd like you to talk to David.

683
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,000
We need to see if he'll respond to commands.

684
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,000
Linda was convinced that David's life signs

685
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000
were the miracles she had prayed for.

686
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,000
A modern day parallel to the story of Lazarus.

687
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,000
David.

688
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Sweetheart, it's me.

689
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Can you move your left hand, David?

690
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:06,000
I knew that David wasn't going to die because when I met David,

691
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,000
God spoke to my heart and said,

692
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,000
this is the man I'm giving you,

693
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,000
and you will have a long life together serving me.

694
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,000
David and I had only been married six days,

695
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,000
and that's not a long life together.

696
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,000
So I knew that he wasn't going to die.

697
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,000
To me, it was just a very long life.

698
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,000
I was very happy.

699
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,000
I was very happy.

700
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000
I was very happy that David wasn't going to die.

701
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,000
To me, it was just a waking up from asleep.

702
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,000
That's all it was.

703
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,000
It was just coming back into contact literally with life,

704
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,000
but I remember nothing else.

705
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,000
It was just like I woke up from a nap.

706
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,000
Incredibly, just three months after he was all but given up for dead,

707
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,000
David Shublack was discharged from the hospital.

708
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,000
He has since made a complete recovery,

709
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,000
the still has his doctors grappling for answers.

710
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,000
I have never seen someone survive the pressure this high.

711
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,000
The fact that he returned to normal function after that is remarkable.

712
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Is it a miracle? It very may well have been.

713
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,000
How can we explain David Shublack's remarkable comeback

714
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,000
from the brink of death?

715
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Is it luck?

716
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Or perhaps as a Shublack's believe, divine intervention,

717
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,000
ascribed to the power of prayer.

718
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,000
I'm truly amazed every day at what happened to me.

719
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,000
There's no way that a person cannot be amazed.

720
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,000
Absolutely none.

721
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Linda proves what moving a mountain calls for.

722
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Determination in faith is,

723
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,000
we'll do all things.

724
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,000
Next, meet the men in black.

725
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,000
They arrive without warning, oozing power and intimidation.

726
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Their origins are a mystery, their mission unknown.

727
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:13,000
The Men in Black

728
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,000
The men in black are one of the most perplexing mysteries

729
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,000
we've ever come across.

730
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,000
Cloked in secrecy they show up without warning,

731
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,000
state their business, then vanish as quickly as they appeared.

732
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,000
No one knows who the men in black are,

733
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,000
where they come from or who they represent.

734
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,000
No real proof that they even exist.

735
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,000
But hundreds of eyewitness accounts give us good cause

736
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,000
to investigate this most unusual phenomenon.

737
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:52,000
Meet Ray Munoz of Austin, Texas.

738
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Ray owns and operates his own auto-tinting shop

739
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,000
on the outskirts of town.

740
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,000
A rather ordinary job for a man who claims

741
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000
to have had several extraordinary experiences.

742
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,000
Since he was nine, Ray says he's had five separate encounters

743
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,000
with the UFOs.

744
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,000
As a result, Ray has now become a sort of local celebrity.

745
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Because of all the experiences that I have or have had,

746
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,000
I thought it necessary for me to start looking into all of this.

747
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,000
So I started this show here in Austin,

748
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,000
this local cable access show called Project UFO.

749
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,000
World Power.

750
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,000
Every week, Ray speaks to other people who say

751
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,000
they've had first hand alien encounters.

752
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,000
In June of 1996, one of Ray's viewers sent him this home video,

753
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000
which supposedly shows an unidentified spacecraft

754
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,000
in the sky over Georgetown, Texas.

755
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Man, look at that.

756
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,000
It's a UFO, man.

757
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000
And on the video, you can see a radio station tower,

758
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,000
which has three red lights on it.

759
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,000
Right next to this tower is this huge UFO

760
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,000
that's just hovering there, like parked.

761
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Those ain't no airplanes, they're getting close.

762
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Several days after he received the tape,

763
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,000
Ray says some unexpected visitors showed up at his shop.

764
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,000
They were dressed in black suits, black ties,

765
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,000
the black glasses, the whole nine yards.

766
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,000
Mr. Muniz?

767
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Yes.

768
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Great honor, Muniz.

769
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,000
Yes, I have a summons.

770
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,000
A summons?

771
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,000
Eternal Revenue Service.

772
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,000
Am I being audited?

773
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Just show up.

774
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,000
I showed the paper to my worker just for a moment,

775
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,000
because it looked official and everything.

776
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,000
Well, I walked back out to see where they had gone to,

777
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,000
and there wasn't anything out there.

778
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,000
There was no time for them to drive away in a car or walk away.

779
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,000
It was very strange.

780
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,000
Not wanting to take any chances,

781
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Ray hurried to the downtown address listed on the summons.

782
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,000
There he claims he encountered another man in black.

783
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,000
I took my box of my papers and everything, all my text up,

784
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,000
and I laid it down on the guy's desk.

785
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,000
I said, well, here it is.

786
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,000
He looked at me and said, OK, thank you, you can leave now.

787
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,000
I said, excuse me?

788
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,000
He said, thank you, you can leave now.

789
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,000
And I said, aren't you going to look at my stuff?

790
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,000
He said, no, thank you, you can leave now.

791
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Ray says he returned home to find his video collection ransacked.

792
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,000
He now believes this was the reason for his visit from the men in black.

793
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,000
They wanted me at a certain place at a certain time,

794
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,000
so they could go to my house and look for that tape.

795
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,000
They didn't find the tape.

796
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,000
I still have the tape.

797
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,000
So it's either something that was government,

798
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,000
that they didn't want people to know about, some new aircraft,

799
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:00,000
or it was a UFO that they don't want people to know about.

800
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:08,000
The men in black may be either a human intelligence operatives

801
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,000
working from deep level black book projects.

802
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:16,000
That their entire agenda is to silence UFO witnesses and experiencers

803
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,000
to relating to the public what they may have encountered.

804
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:27,000
There are also, I believe, men in black that are non-human in origin,

805
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:33,000
who have taken upon themselves the job in order to do the same thing

806
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,000
that the human men in black are, in other words, to silence

807
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,000
or to control the output of information regarding the UFO phenomenon.

808
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,000
I was feeling frightened.

809
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,000
I was concerned for my safety.

810
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:52,000
I felt a little bit harassed, if you can put it that way.

811
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,000
And I did not know what to expect, so I was on guard.

812
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,000
Colette Peters of San Juan Capistrano, California

813
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,000
is a highly accomplished figure skater who has garnered several national awards.

814
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,000
Colette claims that during her life she's had two UFO experiences

815
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,000
and one unnerving encounter with a man in black

816
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,000
who she is certain was something other than a man.

817
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:23,000
When I was approximately 19 or 20, I was in New York City

818
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:29,000
walking down one of the main avenues and I started to encounter a very, very bizarre feeling.

819
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:38,000
It was pure evil and when I looked up, what I saw was a very tall, lanky man

820
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:43,000
walking towards me, but he seemed out of place and quite odd.

821
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,000
His skin to me did not look normal. You couldn't see any facial hair

822
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:54,000
or if he had shaved or any imperfections. It was a smooth, shiny, plastic looking jaw.

823
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:00,000
Seemed to fit the criteria of what people call the men in black.

824
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:06,000
The only difference is in my case they did not directly come up and threaten me.

825
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:15,000
I don't feel that he had conveyed any message to me except by the presence that he kept.

826
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:22,000
The sinister evil nature that generated from him is the only way I could really describe it.

827
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:28,000
I think people have had genuine experiences which are anomalous and unusual.

828
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:34,000
It does not mean however that I think that they are extraterrestrials

829
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,000
that are telling them to be quiet about something or what have you.

830
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:47,000
In my opinion, they are disinformation agents using a combination of physical alteration of their appearance with some of these electronics.

831
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:54,000
These are electronic systems which have been reverse engineered from extraterrestrial devices

832
00:45:55,000 --> 00:46:01,000
and it is intended to simply set people off from looking in the direction of what's really going on

833
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,000
with the UFO or extraterrestrial issue.

834
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:11,000
There is of course another possibility. Skeptics have said that the men in black

835
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,000
are merely the product of a few overactive imaginations.

836
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:26,000
I got to touch it, feel it, see it, type of person. I was there, I saw, I felt.

837
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:33,000
You know, I mean, why would I put my life in danger for a lie?

838
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:40,000
I don't feel that it could have been a figment in my imagination because of the physicality of it.

839
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:47,000
The feelings that I felt, I'm not talking about emotional feelings, I'm talking about the hair actually raising up on your skin.

840
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:52,000
It was quite unique. It was something I'll never forget.

841
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:04,000
We asked the Air Force and the Department of Defense if there were covert units that fit the MO of the men in black.

842
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:10,000
The Air Force issued a blanket denying. The Department of Defense said we've never heard of such a thing.

843
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,000
Then added, you might try the Air Force.

844
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:18,000
The Air Force

845
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:28,000
Join me next time for another dramatic edition of Unsolved Mysteries.

846
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:49,000
The Air Force

847
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:55,000
The Air Force

848
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:01,000
The Air Force

849
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:07,000
The Air Force
