1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,260 The Legend of Bugsy Siegel. 2 00:00:02,260 --> 00:00:05,700 Handsome, sexy, a cold-blooded killer. 3 00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:08,540 But one night in Beverly Hills, a mafia's hunter 4 00:00:08,540 --> 00:00:09,380 became the hunted. 5 00:00:12,380 --> 00:00:14,180 In Southern California, rain slick roads 6 00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:16,180 lead to a brush with death. 7 00:00:16,180 --> 00:00:19,780 In New Jersey, another accident terrifying and nearly fatal. 8 00:00:19,780 --> 00:00:22,380 The story of the murder of a man who was killed 9 00:00:22,380 --> 00:00:23,980 by a gunshot in the woods. 10 00:00:23,980 --> 00:00:26,620 The story of the murder of a man who was killed 11 00:00:26,620 --> 00:00:28,420 by a gunshot in the woods. 12 00:00:28,420 --> 00:00:31,020 The incident terrifying and nearly fatal. 13 00:00:31,020 --> 00:00:34,980 Soon after, both drivers claimed they could predict the future. 14 00:00:34,980 --> 00:00:39,620 Can a car crash make you suddenly psychic? 15 00:00:39,620 --> 00:00:41,260 For Marlis Thomas, it should have been 16 00:00:41,260 --> 00:00:43,300 the happiest day of her life. 17 00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:45,460 The doctors dropped a bombshell. 18 00:00:45,460 --> 00:00:48,360 Her seemingly healthy baby had died. 19 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,740 Today, a series of baffling contradictions 20 00:00:50,740 --> 00:00:53,180 have led Marlis to believe the impossible. 21 00:00:53,180 --> 00:00:56,980 Her daughter may still be alive. 22 00:00:56,980 --> 00:00:59,240 Generations of streets of Queens, New York 23 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,020 have seen aspiring gangsters come and go. 24 00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:06,220 But according to the FBI, Paulie Ragusa is one of a kind, 25 00:01:06,220 --> 00:01:09,540 a would-be wise guy, intent on making a name for himself 26 00:01:09,540 --> 00:01:12,420 by whatever means possible. 27 00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:15,380 Join me as we try to help authorities and the families 28 00:01:15,380 --> 00:01:18,380 of crime victims bring closure to unsolved mysteries. 29 00:01:56,980 --> 00:02:12,620 From Obsters in the 1940s, life in New York, Chicago, 30 00:02:12,620 --> 00:02:16,020 and Los Angeles was brutal. 31 00:02:16,020 --> 00:02:21,100 Mafia bosses took pride in killing and getting away with it. 32 00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:24,100 But there is one famous hit for which no one has ever taken 33 00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:27,020 credit, the murder of Bugsy Siegel. 34 00:02:34,260 --> 00:02:37,420 In the late evening of June 20, 1947, 35 00:02:37,420 --> 00:02:41,380 Siegel relaxed in the Beverly Hills home of his girlfriend. 36 00:02:41,380 --> 00:02:45,300 The mob's top assassin had no idea that he was a target. 37 00:02:54,100 --> 00:03:07,180 The nine shots were fired into the room. 38 00:03:07,180 --> 00:03:09,020 Four found their mark. 39 00:03:09,020 --> 00:03:11,500 Bugsy Siegel died instantly. 40 00:03:15,340 --> 00:03:18,860 The list of suspects read like a classic whodunit. 41 00:03:18,860 --> 00:03:22,220 Business associates, a girlfriend, even a body 42 00:03:22,340 --> 00:03:23,340 guard. 43 00:03:23,340 --> 00:03:26,180 But police investigating Siegel's murder 44 00:03:26,180 --> 00:03:29,300 hit the wall of the mafia's code of silence, 45 00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:32,100 a wall that still exists today. 46 00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:34,180 The main frustration I have in the case 47 00:03:34,180 --> 00:03:39,540 is all my witnesses are either gone or still won't talk. 48 00:03:39,540 --> 00:03:42,140 So the frustration is that I'm running out of time 49 00:03:42,140 --> 00:03:44,020 if I haven't lost that time already, 50 00:03:44,020 --> 00:03:47,780 and I'm just still not getting any information. 51 00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:51,340 For Beverly Hills police, the murder of Bugsy Siegel 52 00:03:51,340 --> 00:03:53,340 is still an open case. 53 00:03:53,340 --> 00:03:55,420 But with each passing year, the chances of solving 54 00:03:55,420 --> 00:03:59,620 the glamour city's most notorious crime become slimmer. 55 00:03:59,620 --> 00:04:03,020 Tonight, the suspect list is in your hands. 56 00:04:03,020 --> 00:04:06,460 Can you figure out who killed Bugsy Siegel? 57 00:04:11,460 --> 00:04:13,700 His real name was Benjamin Siegel. 58 00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:16,020 He was a mob's most feared hitman. 59 00:04:18,780 --> 00:04:20,900 Beneath the smile of the handsome New Yorker 60 00:04:20,900 --> 00:04:24,900 was the heart of a cold-blooded killer. 61 00:04:24,900 --> 00:04:27,540 Siegel's violent temper was legendary. 62 00:04:27,540 --> 00:04:29,540 Underworld figures talked for years 63 00:04:29,540 --> 00:04:35,020 about how he took revenge for being injured in a bomb blast. 64 00:04:35,020 --> 00:04:39,740 He sneaked out of the hospital at 2 AM, 65 00:04:39,740 --> 00:04:41,540 got into a car with his associates, 66 00:04:41,540 --> 00:04:45,380 drove to the home of the suspect in Brooklyn 67 00:04:45,820 --> 00:04:49,500 when the door was answered, bang, bang, bang, they shot him, 68 00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:52,740 and back in the car, sneaked him back into the hospital. 69 00:04:52,740 --> 00:04:54,780 He had a perfect alibi. 70 00:04:54,780 --> 00:04:58,420 Siegel formed a partnership with Meyer Lansky in New York 71 00:04:58,420 --> 00:05:01,140 and organized crime syndicate The Soul Liquor during 72 00:05:01,140 --> 00:05:05,540 Prohibition, then worked its way into gambling, prostitution, 73 00:05:05,540 --> 00:05:07,580 and murder for hire. 74 00:05:07,580 --> 00:05:10,660 Ben Siegel and Meyer Lansky were a great combination. 75 00:05:10,660 --> 00:05:12,500 They complimented each other. 76 00:05:12,540 --> 00:05:14,900 Lansky did the thinking. 77 00:05:14,900 --> 00:05:19,420 It was Bugsy who did the whacking. 78 00:05:19,420 --> 00:05:21,420 In the early 40s, Siegel and Lansky 79 00:05:21,420 --> 00:05:27,900 teamed up with another East Coast mafia boss, Lucky Luciano. 80 00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:30,260 When the team of Siegel, Lansky, and Luciano 81 00:05:30,260 --> 00:05:32,740 decided to expand their territory, 82 00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:35,780 it was the beginning of the end for Bugsy. 83 00:05:35,780 --> 00:05:39,300 He was sent to take control of gambling in California. 84 00:05:39,300 --> 00:05:41,820 There, he faced a major problem. 85 00:05:41,860 --> 00:05:46,300 Suspect number one, Jack Dragna. 86 00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:52,500 And there ain't no one going to stand in my way, right Jack? 87 00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:55,100 They'd be stupid. 88 00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:57,380 Dragna controlled a lucrative wire service 89 00:05:57,380 --> 00:06:00,300 used by bookies across the country. 90 00:06:00,300 --> 00:06:02,900 Bugsy made a simple proposal. 91 00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:06,180 Give up the wire or give up your life. 92 00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:09,220 Dragna chose to live, which gave him two motives 93 00:06:09,220 --> 00:06:11,420 to kill Bugsy Siegel. 94 00:06:11,420 --> 00:06:15,740 Jealousy and revenge. 95 00:06:15,740 --> 00:06:20,100 After Bugsy died, Jack Dragna got his wire service back. 96 00:06:27,980 --> 00:06:30,580 Bugsy ran the mob's business in Tinseltown 97 00:06:30,580 --> 00:06:34,260 with a showmanship of a Hollywood superstar. 98 00:06:34,260 --> 00:06:38,700 He began an affair with suspect number two, Virginia Hill, 99 00:06:38,740 --> 00:06:41,940 an alleged cash courier for the mob. 100 00:06:41,940 --> 00:06:46,060 But Hill may have had her own reasons for wanting Bugsy dead. 101 00:06:46,060 --> 00:06:48,940 She was leading a double life. 102 00:06:48,940 --> 00:06:52,660 Virginia Hill was definitely connected some way 103 00:06:52,660 --> 00:06:54,380 with Chicago mob. 104 00:06:54,380 --> 00:06:57,660 She was out there keeping an eye on Bugsy 105 00:06:57,660 --> 00:07:01,020 and feeding the Chicago mob information 106 00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:03,460 on Bugsy's activities. 107 00:07:03,460 --> 00:07:06,220 On the night Bugsy was killed in Virginia's home, 108 00:07:06,220 --> 00:07:08,300 she was out of town. 109 00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:10,260 By coincidence or not? 110 00:07:13,180 --> 00:07:15,100 In Hollywood, only one man seemed 111 00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:17,940 to hold his ground against Bugsy Siegel. 112 00:07:17,940 --> 00:07:20,780 Suspect number three, Mickey Cohen, 113 00:07:20,780 --> 00:07:24,620 was a Cleveland gangster newly transplanted to LA. 114 00:07:24,620 --> 00:07:27,380 Siegel could have killed him, but instead, 115 00:07:27,380 --> 00:07:29,700 he put him on his payroll. 116 00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:33,540 Ben liked that, that this guy stood up to him. 117 00:07:33,540 --> 00:07:37,060 He liked it so much that he made him his personal bodyguard. 118 00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:38,580 Really? 119 00:07:38,580 --> 00:07:41,300 After Siegel's death, Cohen was given control 120 00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:44,300 of West Coast gambling, a promotion he would never 121 00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:46,020 have seen with Bugsy alive. 122 00:07:48,940 --> 00:07:51,220 When gambling became legal in Nevada, 123 00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:54,940 Siegel saw the opportunity of a lifetime. 124 00:07:54,940 --> 00:07:59,780 He envisioned a luxurious casino like the world had never seen. 125 00:07:59,780 --> 00:08:03,620 Bugsy figured the flamingo would cost a million dollars. 126 00:08:03,620 --> 00:08:06,260 Lansky and Luciano gave him the money, 127 00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:10,020 but one million became two, two became four, 128 00:08:10,020 --> 00:08:13,340 and four became six. 129 00:08:13,340 --> 00:08:16,740 Lansky and Luciano became the final suspects. 130 00:08:16,740 --> 00:08:19,220 They needed to plug a loose cannon that 131 00:08:19,220 --> 00:08:21,820 was financially out of control. 132 00:08:21,820 --> 00:08:24,620 It has to stop and stop now. 133 00:08:24,620 --> 00:08:30,220 Lansky did go out and visit Siegel in Nevada. 134 00:08:30,220 --> 00:08:33,260 And I think he cautioned him and he warned him, 135 00:08:33,260 --> 00:08:34,820 pay attention to the business. 136 00:08:34,820 --> 00:08:37,020 Don't let the course get too high. 137 00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:39,900 Your investors are not happy. 138 00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:42,100 There were also rumors that Siegel 139 00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:44,740 was pocketing some of his investor's money 140 00:08:44,740 --> 00:08:46,860 to support Virginia Hill. 141 00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:50,780 She was a very, very expensive playmate. 142 00:08:50,780 --> 00:08:52,740 They probably had a feeling that he was spending some 143 00:08:52,740 --> 00:08:56,020 of their money on Virginia. 144 00:08:56,020 --> 00:08:59,460 20 minutes after Siegel's death, two members of the Lansky 145 00:08:59,460 --> 00:09:03,780 Luciano mob took control of the flamingo casino. 146 00:09:03,820 --> 00:09:05,300 I'm your new boss. 147 00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:07,820 Mr. Siegel's no longer in the picture. 148 00:09:07,820 --> 00:09:10,740 If you have any questions, you can call our friends in New York. 149 00:09:10,740 --> 00:09:14,500 No one believed the timing of the takeover was coincidental. 150 00:09:17,420 --> 00:09:19,740 Investigators have little doubt that Siegel's hit 151 00:09:19,740 --> 00:09:22,500 was a professional job. 152 00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:24,660 But which of the suspects could have been involved 153 00:09:24,660 --> 00:09:26,540 in Bugsy's death? 154 00:09:26,540 --> 00:09:29,980 Some feel the most likely scenario involves them all. 155 00:09:30,420 --> 00:09:33,420 Virginia Hill provided the location for the murder 156 00:09:33,420 --> 00:09:36,220 and possibly was given a reward. 157 00:09:36,220 --> 00:09:40,740 She had $2 trillion in a Swiss bank account. 158 00:09:40,740 --> 00:09:42,780 Siegel's bodyguard, Mickey Cohen, 159 00:09:42,780 --> 00:09:45,540 knew his boss's schedule for the evening. 160 00:09:45,540 --> 00:09:49,340 But at the time of the killing, he was not doing his job. 161 00:09:49,340 --> 00:09:52,620 Mickey Cohen even came into the station and said, 162 00:09:52,620 --> 00:09:53,580 what happened? 163 00:09:53,580 --> 00:09:54,380 What happened? 164 00:09:54,380 --> 00:09:56,580 I was supposed to be watching him. 165 00:09:56,580 --> 00:09:57,860 And Jack Dragner? 166 00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:00,620 He may have ordered the hit with the approval 167 00:10:00,620 --> 00:10:03,020 of Lansky and Luciano. 168 00:10:03,020 --> 00:10:05,620 He would not have dared to do it on his own. 169 00:10:05,620 --> 00:10:08,540 He would have asked permission from people 170 00:10:08,540 --> 00:10:11,340 he regarded in the New York area. 171 00:10:11,340 --> 00:10:13,900 It's a possibility because they were thinking of killing 172 00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:17,020 Siegel anyway, so all right, let Jack Dragner handle it. 173 00:10:20,940 --> 00:10:23,900 Today, none of the key suspects in the Siegel murder 174 00:10:23,900 --> 00:10:24,980 are still alive. 175 00:10:25,020 --> 00:10:28,420 But Beverly Hills police still hope that the mafia code 176 00:10:28,420 --> 00:10:31,500 of silence may one day be broken. 177 00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:34,380 Murder has no statute of limitations. 178 00:10:34,380 --> 00:10:38,700 So until the case is solved, the case remains open. 179 00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:40,740 I'm sure there's people out there that 180 00:10:40,740 --> 00:10:43,940 are descendants of people in the mafia, 181 00:10:43,940 --> 00:10:47,180 people in the know that have information. 182 00:10:47,180 --> 00:10:49,500 I would love to have a phone call from them. 183 00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:52,660 Perhaps there is someone, just one person, 184 00:10:52,660 --> 00:10:55,460 who might have that vital clue that can crack this intriguing 185 00:10:55,460 --> 00:10:57,660 50-year-old case. 186 00:10:57,660 --> 00:11:01,460 Perhaps it's you. 187 00:11:01,460 --> 00:11:05,380 Next, one police officer dead and two wounded, 188 00:11:05,380 --> 00:11:07,620 and the suspects are still on the run. 189 00:11:19,500 --> 00:11:23,500 Number 11, Cortez. 190 00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:26,500 That truck is 1099 out of triangle. 191 00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:29,500 May 29, 1998. 192 00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:32,500 45-year-old police officer, Dale Clexton, 193 00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:36,500 followed a stolen water truck out of the small town of Cortez, 194 00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:37,500 Colorado. 195 00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:41,500 Clexton was a relative newcomer to the force, 196 00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:44,500 having become an officer just three years earlier. 197 00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:47,500 I'll lay him behind it, send me some backup. 198 00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:49,500 Care for us. 199 00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:51,500 Suddenly, the water truck pulled over. 200 00:11:55,500 --> 00:11:58,500 Dale Clexton had no idea what he was about to encounter. 201 00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:08,500 Dale never had a chance to unbutton his seatbelt, 202 00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:10,500 even go for the door. 203 00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:12,500 It was terrible. 204 00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:16,500 It was in 33 years of being in the police. 205 00:12:16,500 --> 00:12:19,500 33 years of being in this business is the most violent 206 00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:20,500 thing I've ever seen. 207 00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:29,500 Dale Clexton left behind a wife, four children, 208 00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:30,500 and a grandchild. 209 00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:33,500 Take a picture for your mother. 210 00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:38,500 There is no sense to this. 211 00:12:39,500 --> 00:12:43,500 The men who killed Dale were armed for war, 212 00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:47,500 and they were ready to kill whoever and whatever 213 00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:48,500 got in the way. 214 00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:56,500 An assault, a sudden attack in the foothills of the Rocky 215 00:12:56,500 --> 00:13:00,500 Mountains, done with brutal military-like precision. 216 00:13:00,500 --> 00:13:04,500 Who were these people wielding AK-47s and assault rifles? 217 00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:07,500 Police had no idea, and the killing of Dale Clexton 218 00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:09,500 was only the beginning. 219 00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:14,500 An APB was quickly put out on the water truck. 220 00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:20,500 Deputy Jason Bishop was told to search for it. 221 00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:25,500 What he didn't know was the suspects had abandoned the 222 00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:27,500 water truck and had stolen a pickup. 223 00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:32,500 I just happened to look in my rearview mirror and I see this 224 00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:35,500 yellow Ford pickup following me really close. 225 00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:39,500 That's when the shots started coming in. 226 00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:45,500 I lost consciousness and fell over into the passenger seat 227 00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:48,500 and wrecked my patrol car. 228 00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:53,500 For the next five minutes, law enforcement was under siege. 229 00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:57,500 State troopers and local police were moving targets in the 230 00:13:57,500 --> 00:13:58,500 rampage. 231 00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:01,500 They came around the corner at me. 232 00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:03,500 It took me by surprise. 233 00:14:03,500 --> 00:14:06,500 They went off the road to go by me, and they were doing 234 00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:07,500 at least 60, 70. 235 00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:20,500 Then the yellow pickup was bearing down the detective 236 00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:21,500 Sergeant Todd Markwell. 237 00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:40,500 I was just overwhelmed with automatic gunfire. 238 00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:46,500 My left arm exploded. 239 00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:53,500 Martin was hit twice, once in the arm, once in the leg. 240 00:14:53,500 --> 00:14:56,500 Officer Jim Bob White saw him go down. 241 00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:02,500 I lost so much blood, they said I lost the maximum amount 242 00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:05,500 that anybody could lose without getting a transfusion 243 00:15:05,500 --> 00:15:06,500 and keeping alive. 244 00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:12,500 So I think if it wasn't for Jim Bob, I would have died out there. 245 00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:17,500 Nine law enforcement vehicles had been riddled with 300 246 00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:19,500 high caliber assault rounds. 247 00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:23,500 Police and troopers never had a chance to get off a single 248 00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:24,500 shot. 249 00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:27,500 One officer was dead and two were hospitalized. 250 00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:34,500 It was as if they were fighting a military battle. 251 00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:39,500 They were dressed in military fatigues, full military gear, 252 00:15:39,500 --> 00:15:42,500 and as if they were going to war. 253 00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:48,500 An hour later, the stolen pickup truck was found in a ravine, 254 00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:53,500 41 miles northwest of Cortez, on the Colorado-Utah border. 255 00:15:54,500 --> 00:15:59,500 It sparked the largest manhunt in Colorado history. 256 00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:02,500 62 police agencies participated. 257 00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:05,500 Where we found the vehicle is some of the ruggedest country 258 00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:07,500 in the state of Utah. 259 00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:12,500 Lots of Indian ruins in it, lots of mines, some deep canyons, 260 00:16:12,500 --> 00:16:16,500 and just lots of places to hide. 261 00:16:16,500 --> 00:16:19,500 Police identified the suspects in the shooting. 262 00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:23,500 30-year-old Alan Monty Pylon from nearby Dub Creek and 263 00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:29,500 Durango residents Robert Mason and Jason McVean, both 26. 264 00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:33,500 All three were known to have anti-government views. 265 00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:37,500 Pylon was also battling the IRS over back taxes. 266 00:16:37,500 --> 00:16:40,500 Though they had no criminal records, the men once tried 267 00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:43,500 to join a militia group in the Four Corners area, but were 268 00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:46,500 thrown out for being too violent. 269 00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:50,500 More importantly, they all were well-trained and wilderness 270 00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:52,500 survival tactics. 271 00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:55,500 They had supplies stored throughout the area. 272 00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:58,500 The same hills and canyons used as a hideout a century ago 273 00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:02,500 by Butch Cassidy's hole-in-the-wall gang. 274 00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:05,500 They had been going to that area for the last four or five 275 00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:08,500 years, had done a lot of survivalist training in that area, 276 00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:11,500 had done a lot of backpacking and living off the land in that 277 00:17:11,500 --> 00:17:13,500 area. 278 00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:16,500 It was like them going to their backyard. 279 00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:19,500 A week later, the fugitives struck again. 280 00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:22,500 This time, they shot and wounded a deputy sheriff in Bluff, 281 00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:24,500 Utah. 282 00:17:24,500 --> 00:17:27,500 SWAT teams quickly surrounded the area. 283 00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:30,500 A few hours later, a body of suspect Robert Mason was 284 00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:35,500 discovered dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. 285 00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:47,500 Coming up, two separate car crashes seem to give the accident 286 00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:50,500 victims astonishing psychic powers. 287 00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:54,500 An evening rainstorm in Southern California. 288 00:17:54,500 --> 00:17:58,500 Driver John Hollande, a former driver of the 289 00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:02,500 American Air Force, was found in the area. 290 00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:05,500 The incident was reported to have been a major 291 00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:08,500 problem in the area. 292 00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:10,500 The incident was reported to have been a major 293 00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:12,500 problem in the area. 294 00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:14,500 The incident was reported to have been a major 295 00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:16,500 problem in the area. 296 00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:19,500 An evening rainstorm in Southern California. 297 00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:24,500 Driver John Hollande's life was about to change forever. 298 00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:27,500 . 299 00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:31,500 . 300 00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:35,500 . 301 00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:38,500 . 302 00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:42,500 Hollande was dazed, but not seriously injured. 303 00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:45,500 But the following day, he started to feel strange. 304 00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:48,500 I started noticing kind of like electricity 305 00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:51,500 building up in my body like a, I don't want to say a power, 306 00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:55,500 but it was more like a surge of energy was building. 307 00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:59,500 I just felt that my body had too much energy in it. 308 00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:01,500 That's the only way I could describe it. 309 00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:03,500 And then I started talking to people on the phone, 310 00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:05,500 some friends. 311 00:19:05,500 --> 00:19:08,500 And as I was talking to them, I was realizing I started 312 00:19:08,500 --> 00:19:11,500 to know things in their lives what was going to happen. 313 00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:13,500 As a child, Hollande had been interested in 314 00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:15,500 psyching phenomena. 315 00:19:15,500 --> 00:19:18,500 But it wasn't until after his accident that he says 316 00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:20,500 he became aware of his gift. 317 00:19:20,500 --> 00:19:24,500 It became obvious at his job at a local hotel bar. 318 00:19:24,500 --> 00:19:27,500 He knew when it was a stranger's birthday. 319 00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:29,500 He knew that a coworker would have complications 320 00:19:29,500 --> 00:19:31,500 in childbirth. 321 00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:34,500 Hollande says he was never wrong. 322 00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:36,500 It would just come out of my mouth straight out, 323 00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:38,500 and I had to learn how to stop that. 324 00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:42,500 So it was almost like my customers was my practice. 325 00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:45,500 So I'm seeing three years for the two of you on my right. 326 00:19:45,500 --> 00:19:47,500 I'm picking up the number three. 327 00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:48,500 Well, OK. 328 00:19:48,500 --> 00:19:49,500 Wow. 329 00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:50,500 That was fun. 330 00:19:50,500 --> 00:19:52,500 Hollande became a sensation at the hotel. 331 00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:55,500 Business executives would come to see him to ask 332 00:19:55,500 --> 00:19:57,500 if a big deal was going to happen. 333 00:19:57,500 --> 00:20:01,500 I see the merger as being something that's going to be a success. 334 00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:04,500 He said his predictions were so uncanny that coworkers 335 00:20:04,500 --> 00:20:06,500 became wary of him. 336 00:20:06,500 --> 00:20:11,500 Others felt his predictions were simply clever manipulations. 337 00:20:11,500 --> 00:20:15,500 Hollande's boss eventually asked him to stop telling the future 338 00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:18,500 because he was frightening the customers. 339 00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:21,500 I'm not out to prove anything, OK? 340 00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:23,500 This is what happened to me. 341 00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:26,500 This is what comes out of me, and this is people come back 342 00:20:26,500 --> 00:20:28,500 and confirm. 343 00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:32,500 Car accidents and other sudden events that shake up a person's 344 00:20:32,500 --> 00:20:35,500 body and, of course, the inner body, called the aura, 345 00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:39,500 have on occasion caused that person to become psychic. 346 00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:41,500 There are a number of cases on record. 347 00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:43,500 There's also a case of a man who fell off a ladder, 348 00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:46,500 and as a result became a well-known psychic. 349 00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:50,500 Something happens to the inner body of the person as it were, 350 00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:55,500 and what was before an ordinary human being now becomes a psychic. 351 00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:57,500 It's perfectly natural. 352 00:20:57,500 --> 00:21:00,500 For two years after his accident, 353 00:21:00,500 --> 00:21:04,500 John Hollande honed his psychic skills. 354 00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:08,500 He began seeing clients, people who wanted to know what the future 355 00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:10,500 held for them. 356 00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:13,500 Hollande claims his powers intensified and quickly reached 357 00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:15,500 a more profound level. 358 00:21:15,500 --> 00:21:19,500 He could communicate with the dead. 359 00:21:19,500 --> 00:21:22,500 A client named Adrian who came to see me, 360 00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:29,500 and her dad passed away, sadly, and basically she wanted to know 361 00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:30,500 where is he? 362 00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:32,500 What is he doing right now? 363 00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:33,500 So what happened? 364 00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:37,500 Her dad came and told me to tell her to look in a book on the 365 00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:39,500 bookshelf. 366 00:21:39,500 --> 00:21:42,500 He described the book case, he described the location of a book, 367 00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:46,500 and he said, and there's going to be something, 368 00:21:46,500 --> 00:21:49,500 a message from your father in this book. 369 00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:52,500 And I was unclear if he meant the book. 370 00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:55,500 He said, no, there's a message in it, a piece of paper, 371 00:21:55,500 --> 00:22:00,500 a message from your father that will let you know that he's OK. 372 00:22:00,500 --> 00:22:04,500 It took two weeks before Adrian got the courage to open the 373 00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:05,500 book. 374 00:22:05,500 --> 00:22:12,500 Inside was a poem written by her father 28 years ago. 375 00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:15,500 It was called Soaring to the Cosmic Blue, 376 00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:21,500 and it talks about finding that there's a whole other world to 377 00:22:21,500 --> 00:22:24,500 explore when you leave this world. 378 00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:30,500 And all that's out there is open to you then, 379 00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:41,500 and it ends, soar into the universe of light and peace, 380 00:22:41,500 --> 00:22:44,500 and fly to the rim of heaven. 381 00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:47,500 It's a baffling mystery. 382 00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:52,500 Can trauma spark unseen forces that allow us to see things others cannot? 383 00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:55,500 Do we all possess the ability to see the future? 384 00:22:55,500 --> 00:23:01,500 Could we too someday become suddenly psychic? 385 00:23:01,500 --> 00:23:06,500 In Sarawood, New Jersey, a mother and her son were badly injured 386 00:23:06,500 --> 00:23:10,500 in a devastating car accident caused by a drunk driver. 387 00:23:10,500 --> 00:23:14,500 Elizabeth Joyce had shielded her son Jeff from the impact. 388 00:23:14,500 --> 00:23:17,500 She suffered massive injuries in the wreck. 389 00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:25,500 All the way to the hospital, her heart had to be restarted three 390 00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:26,500 times. 391 00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:29,500 During the blackouts, she was reunited with relatives who had 392 00:23:29,500 --> 00:23:31,500 died a year earlier. 393 00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:38,500 On the left was my stepson, on the right was my husband. 394 00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:40,500 They talked to me with their mind. 395 00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:42,500 You have to go back. 396 00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:45,500 You have to go back. 397 00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:46,500 OK, Mom. 398 00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:47,500 Mom. 399 00:23:47,500 --> 00:23:48,500 Doctor. 400 00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:49,500 Mom. 401 00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:52,500 Elizabeth survived the accident without any permanent physical 402 00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:56,500 disabilities, but she feared neurological damage. 403 00:23:56,500 --> 00:24:02,500 I started having a tingling sensation across my shoulders 404 00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:05,500 and up my neck, and I started having blackouts. 405 00:24:05,500 --> 00:24:08,500 Elizabeth began having a frightening, recurring dream. 406 00:24:08,500 --> 00:24:09,500 It was an explosion. 407 00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:13,500 I saw a house. 408 00:24:13,500 --> 00:24:14,500 I saw a body. 409 00:24:14,500 --> 00:24:15,500 I saw it go out the roof. 410 00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:17,500 I was aware of oil wells. 411 00:24:17,500 --> 00:24:20,500 I was aware of a trailer park and a fence. 412 00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:22,500 It was so real to me. 413 00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:25,500 And in my head, I would hear your aunt died. 414 00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:27,500 She's in Houston, Texas. 415 00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:30,500 But Elizabeth's aunt lived in Concord, New Hampshire, not 416 00:24:30,500 --> 00:24:32,500 Houston. 417 00:24:32,500 --> 00:24:35,500 After having the dream every night for three weeks, 418 00:24:35,500 --> 00:24:39,500 she confided to social worker Brenda Hayes. 419 00:24:39,500 --> 00:24:41,500 Brenda was amazed. 420 00:24:41,500 --> 00:24:44,500 The home Elizabeth was describing was her aunt's. 421 00:24:44,500 --> 00:24:47,500 And her aunt had died in an explosion a week earlier. 422 00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:51,500 There was a pipeline explosion on her property, 423 00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:55,500 and they haven't been able to find her body or find 424 00:24:55,500 --> 00:25:01,500 any remains to identify what happened to her. 425 00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:06,500 I started to explain to her what the setup was, 426 00:25:06,500 --> 00:25:07,500 and she said, no, wait. 427 00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:10,500 I'll draw you a picture. 428 00:25:10,500 --> 00:25:14,500 Elizabeth drew an exact rendition of the house. 429 00:25:14,500 --> 00:25:18,500 She then pointed to a section of tall grass near an oil well 430 00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:22,500 and said Brenda's aunt was there. 431 00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:25,500 Brenda called the authorities in Houston. 432 00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:29,500 Within an hour, police had found the body of her aunt. 433 00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:32,500 It would not be the last time Elizabeth's newly discovered 434 00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:36,500 powers would solve a mystery. 435 00:25:36,500 --> 00:25:41,500 In 1992, Sidney J. Riso, the president of the Exxon Corporation, 436 00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:43,500 was kidnapped from in front of his home. 437 00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:46,500 Police had few clues in the baffling crime, 438 00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:49,500 but Elizabeth Joyce had a vision about the abduction 439 00:25:49,500 --> 00:25:51,500 and called police. 440 00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:54,500 I really don't give much credence to psychics. 441 00:25:54,500 --> 00:25:59,500 I'm not a fan of psychics, and I've come across many, many psychics. 442 00:25:59,500 --> 00:26:02,500 But in this particular case with Elizabeth Joyce, 443 00:26:02,500 --> 00:26:05,500 I did find her to be very, very accurate. 444 00:26:05,500 --> 00:26:08,500 In black and white, I saw a blonde-haired woman 445 00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:11,500 in a jogging suit running behind the car, 446 00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:13,500 falling and screaming for help. 447 00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:18,500 I saw the man get out of the car to go over and help this woman. 448 00:26:18,500 --> 00:26:20,500 I saw a man come around from the bushes. 449 00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:24,500 I saw him grab this man that had gotten out of the Cadillac 450 00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:28,500 and put a gun to his head and force him into a white van. 451 00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:31,500 I knew that it was Riso. 452 00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:36,500 Elizabeth says she was in contact with the FBI 453 00:26:36,500 --> 00:26:38,500 on a daily basis for six weeks, 454 00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:41,500 giving them information about the case. 455 00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:43,500 I said they're putting him in a trunk, 456 00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:46,500 and they're taking him off a main road, 457 00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:48,500 and they're going to dig a shallow grave. 458 00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:50,500 And he said, describe it to me. 459 00:26:50,500 --> 00:26:52,500 Oh, I said it's between two pine trees. 460 00:26:52,500 --> 00:26:54,500 It's in a narrow space between two pine trees, 461 00:26:54,500 --> 00:26:56,500 and it's off a main road, 462 00:26:56,500 --> 00:26:59,500 not the garden state parkway or the New Jersey Turnpike. 463 00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:03,500 Though the FBI will not talk about Elizabeth's involvement, 464 00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:07,500 a body of Sidney Riso was found exactly where she said it would be. 465 00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:12,500 Sidney Riso's remains were in a three-foot-deep sandy grave 466 00:27:12,500 --> 00:27:14,500 in the depths of the pine banners. 467 00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:18,500 She says her information also helped catch the killers. 468 00:27:18,500 --> 00:27:21,500 For Elizabeth, the proof is in her results. 469 00:27:21,500 --> 00:27:25,500 I don't try to ever convince anyone that there is such a thing 470 00:27:25,500 --> 00:27:27,500 as psychic sensitivity. 471 00:27:27,500 --> 00:27:29,500 I let them find it for themselves. 472 00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:32,500 I'm there to help others if they are open to being helped. 473 00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:35,500 If I can reach one person, 474 00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:37,500 that it helps them change their life for the better, 475 00:27:37,500 --> 00:27:41,500 and they know things about themselves more, 476 00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:43,500 or if they know that we all go on, 477 00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:47,500 then I've done my job. 478 00:27:47,500 --> 00:27:50,500 John Holland and Elizabeth Joyce say they are continuing 479 00:27:50,500 --> 00:27:52,500 to use their powers to help others. 480 00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:55,500 Both have day jobs and say they do psychic work on the side, 481 00:27:55,500 --> 00:27:58,500 charging nominal fees for their services. 482 00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:01,500 Can John and Elizabeth really see the future? 483 00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:03,500 Many believe they can. 484 00:28:03,500 --> 00:28:06,500 But in the unexplained world of psychic phenomena, 485 00:28:06,500 --> 00:28:10,500 their stories remain an unsolved mystery. 486 00:28:11,500 --> 00:28:15,500 Next, it was Maris Thomas' worst nightmare. 487 00:28:15,500 --> 00:28:18,500 Now the tragic loss of her newborn infant 488 00:28:18,500 --> 00:28:21,500 has become an intriguing unsolved mystery. 489 00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:29,500 This is Maris Thomas. 490 00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:32,500 She's 55 years old and in failing health. 491 00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:34,500 More than 30 years ago, 492 00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:38,500 Maris thought she buried her infant daughter in this graveyard. 493 00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:42,500 Now she believes that daughter is still alive. 494 00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:50,500 June 12, 1962, Worthington, Minnesota, 495 00:28:50,500 --> 00:28:54,500 Maris was just 20 years old and separated from her husband. 496 00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:57,500 She had moved to Minnesota to be near her mother 497 00:28:57,500 --> 00:29:00,500 when the baby was born. 498 00:29:00,500 --> 00:29:04,500 Maris was heavily sedated during her difficult labor. 499 00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:10,500 The next thing Maris remembers 500 00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:14,500 is seeing her daughter Mary Agnes Gross for the first time. 501 00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:17,500 I couldn't take my eyes off her little feet. 502 00:29:17,500 --> 00:29:20,500 They were moving and I felt so happy. 503 00:29:20,500 --> 00:29:24,500 I just kept watching her little feet and then I drifted back to sleep. 504 00:29:24,500 --> 00:29:28,500 When I woke up, I looked to see where my baby was 505 00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:30,500 and I didn't see her and I asked the nurse, 506 00:29:30,500 --> 00:29:32,500 where's my baby? 507 00:29:32,500 --> 00:29:35,500 And she said the doctor will be in to talk to you. 508 00:29:38,500 --> 00:29:40,500 Can I see my baby now? 509 00:29:40,500 --> 00:29:43,500 I'm sorry Maris, but your baby died. 510 00:29:47,500 --> 00:29:49,500 How long did my baby live? 511 00:29:49,500 --> 00:29:51,500 Just one hour. 512 00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:53,500 I want to see my mother now. 513 00:29:53,500 --> 00:29:55,500 No, no, no, no, relax. 514 00:29:55,500 --> 00:29:57,500 We'll take you to your mother soon enough. 515 00:29:57,500 --> 00:29:59,500 No, no. 516 00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:02,500 And that was just such a shock to me, you know. 517 00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:04,500 It hurt so bad. 518 00:30:04,500 --> 00:30:06,500 And I couldn't hardly believe that, you know, 519 00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:09,500 because I seen her little feet move. 520 00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:11,500 Is that my baby? 521 00:30:11,500 --> 00:30:13,500 Please. 522 00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:16,500 When Maris left the delivery room, 523 00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:20,500 she passed a bassinet that was on its way to the morgue. 524 00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:23,500 And I must have only seen my daughter maybe 10 seconds, 525 00:30:23,500 --> 00:30:27,500 15 at the most, and my baby didn't look dead. 526 00:30:27,500 --> 00:30:30,500 My baby looked like she was just sleeping. 527 00:30:30,500 --> 00:30:32,500 She wasn't purple. 528 00:30:32,500 --> 00:30:38,500 Then she had dark hair and she had lots of hair. 529 00:30:38,500 --> 00:30:43,500 Maris also noticed that Mary Agnes had marks on her forehead. 530 00:30:43,500 --> 00:30:47,500 Marks left by the doctor's forceps during the delivery. 531 00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:51,500 Maris asked for an autopsy, but was told it was too late. 532 00:30:54,500 --> 00:30:56,500 While Maris was still in the hospital, 533 00:30:56,500 --> 00:30:59,500 her friend Judy Vosges visited the funeral home, 534 00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:02,500 along with Maris' mother. 535 00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:05,500 Judy claims that the baby she saw looked different 536 00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:09,500 from the infant that Maris had described. 537 00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:13,500 I didn't see any marks on her forehead. 538 00:31:13,500 --> 00:31:17,500 Her hair was light brown, not dark brown. 539 00:31:17,500 --> 00:31:21,500 It was light brown and not a whole lot of it. 540 00:31:21,500 --> 00:31:25,500 It was, you know, kind of downy-like, I suppose. 541 00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:28,500 I'm sorry. 542 00:31:28,500 --> 00:31:30,500 I can't allow you a photograph. 543 00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:32,500 Strangers still. 544 00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:34,500 When Maris' mother tried to take a picture of the baby, 545 00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:37,500 the funeral director would not allow it. 546 00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:39,500 I know. 547 00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:43,500 You can take one at the cemetery after the casket's been closed. 548 00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:48,500 Later that day, Maris' mother did take these pictures of the casket 549 00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:51,500 just before the burial. 550 00:31:51,500 --> 00:31:55,500 The day was marked by an additional bizarre occurrence. 551 00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:59,500 Maris' mother told her that another family was at the gravesite, 552 00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:02,500 mourning the death of a child. 553 00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:05,500 And they took it so hard, and they prayed and prayed, 554 00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:07,500 and they had tears. 555 00:32:07,500 --> 00:32:09,500 I could never figure out who those people were. 556 00:32:09,500 --> 00:32:13,500 My mother never could figure out who those people were. 557 00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:16,500 A week after the funeral, 558 00:32:16,500 --> 00:32:20,500 Maris was well enough to visit Mary Agnes' gravesite. 559 00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:23,500 There was only one grave there at that time, 560 00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:27,500 and I took it so hard, just so bad. 561 00:32:27,500 --> 00:32:31,500 And from that day on, I was out to that cemetery 562 00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:34,500 like three, four times a week. 563 00:32:35,500 --> 00:32:39,500 Maris accepted her baby's death as a natural occurrence, 564 00:32:39,500 --> 00:32:43,500 but just three months later, another unsettling development, 565 00:32:43,500 --> 00:32:47,500 Maris received a mysterious photograph in the mail. 566 00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:51,500 There was no letter, no return address, 567 00:32:51,500 --> 00:32:55,500 just a picture of a husband, a wife and three children, 568 00:32:55,500 --> 00:32:58,500 one of them a baby girl. 569 00:32:59,500 --> 00:33:02,500 The baby looked like my husband, 570 00:33:02,500 --> 00:33:04,500 and I didn't know these people. 571 00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:06,500 I've never seen these people in my life, 572 00:33:06,500 --> 00:33:08,500 and I showed it to my family, 573 00:33:08,500 --> 00:33:11,500 and my family didn't know who those people were either, 574 00:33:11,500 --> 00:33:15,500 but they also thought the baby looked a lot like my husband. 575 00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:19,500 Strange indeed, but it would be nearly three decades 576 00:33:19,500 --> 00:33:23,500 before Maris would come to realize the significance of the picture. 577 00:33:27,500 --> 00:33:31,500 A year passed before Maris saved enough money to buy a headstone, 578 00:33:31,500 --> 00:33:35,500 but inexplicably, cemetery workers did not place a stone 579 00:33:35,500 --> 00:33:38,500 atop Mary Agnes' burial plot. 580 00:33:38,500 --> 00:33:42,500 Instead, it was positioned a few feet off to the side. 581 00:33:43,500 --> 00:33:45,500 Though she moved away, 582 00:33:45,500 --> 00:33:48,500 Maris periodically visited her daughter's grave. 583 00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:51,500 On one visit, she got the shock of her life. 584 00:33:54,500 --> 00:33:57,500 In 1989, a headstone for a different baby 585 00:33:57,500 --> 00:34:00,500 had been placed on Mary Agnes' burial plot. 586 00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:03,500 That baby's name was Pamela Ray Dickey. 587 00:34:05,500 --> 00:34:08,500 Maris immediately questioned the funeral director. 588 00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:12,500 I says, well, this can't be. 589 00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:15,500 I says, I even bought a stone and laid it out there, 590 00:34:15,500 --> 00:34:17,500 and then he said right away, he said, 591 00:34:17,500 --> 00:34:19,500 I often wondered what that stone was doing out there 592 00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:21,500 because there never was a grave, and I says, 593 00:34:21,500 --> 00:34:25,500 well, I know they laid it on the wrong spot at that time. 594 00:34:25,500 --> 00:34:28,500 Well, he says, no, he says your daughter's not buried out here. 595 00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:32,500 Not buried here. 596 00:34:32,500 --> 00:34:34,500 Maris was deeply disturbed. 597 00:34:34,500 --> 00:34:37,500 The old doubts and questions came flooding back. 598 00:34:37,500 --> 00:34:41,500 She began researching the details of her baby's supposed death 599 00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:44,500 and burial and discovered an odd coincidence. 600 00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:49,500 Pamela Dickey had died only a few hours before Maris' daughter 601 00:34:49,500 --> 00:34:52,500 on the same day in the same hospital, 602 00:34:52,500 --> 00:34:54,500 and even more startling, 603 00:34:54,500 --> 00:34:58,500 Mary Agnes and Pamela Dickey were also buried on the same day. 604 00:35:00,500 --> 00:35:03,500 There was not two funerals out there that day. 605 00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:06,500 There was only one funeral, one grave, 606 00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:09,500 and after the funeral, there was only one heap of dirt. 607 00:35:09,500 --> 00:35:11,500 That's all there was out there. 608 00:35:13,500 --> 00:35:14,500 There was more. 609 00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:17,500 Maris found Mary Agnes' last name, Gross, 610 00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:21,500 written in the upper corner of one of Pamela Dickey's funeral papers. 611 00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:25,500 Even more puzzling, hospital records said Mary Agnes 612 00:35:25,500 --> 00:35:27,500 was healthy at birth, 613 00:35:27,500 --> 00:35:31,500 but the death certificate said she had never drawn a breath. 614 00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:35,500 The birth certificate said she was born at 6.23 p.m. 615 00:35:35,500 --> 00:35:38,500 Incredibly, the death certificate said she died 616 00:35:38,500 --> 00:35:42,500 three minutes before she was born at 6.20. 617 00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:46,500 Every place that I go and check this out, 618 00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:49,500 the papers just... 619 00:35:50,500 --> 00:35:53,500 just like my daughter had never died. 620 00:35:53,500 --> 00:35:55,500 You know, there's no... 621 00:35:55,500 --> 00:35:58,500 nothing that shows me that my daughter died. 622 00:35:59,500 --> 00:36:02,500 Maris asked Pamela Dickey's mother for help, 623 00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:07,500 but understandably, Margaret Dickey preferred not to disturb her daughter's grave. 624 00:36:07,500 --> 00:36:11,500 Nonetheless, Maris had to make certain Mary Agnes' body 625 00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:13,500 had not been moved without her knowledge. 626 00:36:15,500 --> 00:36:19,500 She had the grave that lay beneath her daughter's tombstone exhumed. 627 00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:22,500 The remains were old and difficult to identify, 628 00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:24,500 but Maris was right. 629 00:36:24,500 --> 00:36:29,500 DNA testing revealed that the child buried there was not Mary Agnes' gross, 630 00:36:29,500 --> 00:36:32,500 nor was it Pamela Ray Dickey. 631 00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:37,500 Maris then showed the pictures her mother had taken 632 00:36:37,500 --> 00:36:41,500 of Mary Agnes' casket to Pamela's mother, Margaret Dickey. 633 00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:44,500 She looks at the picture, she says, 634 00:36:44,500 --> 00:36:47,500 that's my baby, my husband bought that casket. 635 00:36:47,500 --> 00:36:49,500 And then I asked her, I said, 636 00:36:49,500 --> 00:36:52,500 did anyone go to your baby's funeral? 637 00:36:52,500 --> 00:36:55,500 She said, yes, my in-laws and my husband. 638 00:36:56,500 --> 00:37:02,500 I believe that my mother now went to the Pamela Ray Dickey's funeral. 639 00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:06,500 That's only one baby there, and that's Pamela Ray Dickey. 640 00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:11,500 If Maris is right, and Pamela Dickey is buried 641 00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:14,500 where she thought her own daughter was laid to rest, 642 00:37:14,500 --> 00:37:16,500 what happened to Mary Agnes? 643 00:37:20,500 --> 00:37:23,500 Today, Maris has only one possible explanation. 644 00:37:23,500 --> 00:37:26,500 She is convinced that Mary Agnes is still alive, 645 00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:28,500 and that the baby in the picture she received 646 00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:32,500 more than 30 years ago was her first born daughter. 647 00:37:33,500 --> 00:37:38,500 What I think today, that picture was, was a family that adopted my baby, 648 00:37:38,500 --> 00:37:42,500 and they wanted to show me that my baby was in a family, 649 00:37:42,500 --> 00:37:45,500 and that's why they sent me that picture. 650 00:37:46,500 --> 00:37:50,500 I was 20 years old. I lived by myself, 651 00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:54,500 and maybe they thought that I couldn't take care of the baby, 652 00:37:54,500 --> 00:37:58,500 so they had another family raise my baby. 653 00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:04,500 Maris still suffers the agony of not knowing what happened to her daughter. 654 00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:09,500 If Mary Agnes is indeed alive, she was born in 1962, 655 00:38:09,500 --> 00:38:11,500 and would today be 35 years old. 656 00:38:12,500 --> 00:38:17,500 The birth took place at Worthington Regional Hospital in Worthington, Minnesota. 657 00:38:18,500 --> 00:38:22,500 I want so bad to find where my daughter is. 658 00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:25,500 You know, I really gotta know where she is, 659 00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:31,500 and I'll never give up, never give up until I find where she's at. 660 00:38:36,500 --> 00:38:40,500 Next, the FBI's as Paulie Ragusa did it all. 661 00:38:40,500 --> 00:38:42,500 Racketeering robbery attempted murder. 662 00:38:42,500 --> 00:38:47,500 Is it any wonder they want your help to track down this fugitive wise guy? 663 00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:59,500 New York City, the Big Apple, money, media, and fashion. 664 00:38:59,500 --> 00:39:04,500 But in the shadows of the skyscrapers, another world, the underworld. 665 00:39:05,500 --> 00:39:09,500 Across the river from Manhattan lies the borough of Queens. 666 00:39:11,500 --> 00:39:15,500 For generations, these streets have been home turf for powerful mobsters. 667 00:39:16,500 --> 00:39:19,500 An infertile breeding ground for young wannabe wise guys, 668 00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:22,500 like Paulie Ragusa of Ridgewood, Queens. 669 00:39:23,500 --> 00:39:26,500 By all accounts, Paulie was on the outside looking in. 670 00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:30,500 To get the attention of the important crime families, 671 00:39:30,500 --> 00:39:32,500 Ragusa apparently felt he had to make a statement. 672 00:39:33,500 --> 00:39:36,500 He made it with guns and violence. 673 00:39:36,500 --> 00:39:41,500 Paul Ragusa was the leader, I think, based on his propensity to engage in violence. 674 00:39:41,500 --> 00:39:48,500 Ragusa is known as a fighter, as somebody that is not adverse to using his hands and to using firearms. 675 00:39:49,500 --> 00:39:51,500 Paulie Ragusa allegedly did it all. 676 00:39:51,500 --> 00:39:55,500 Robbery, assault, racketeering, arson. 677 00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:59,500 And he got away with it because his victims refused to press charges. 678 00:39:59,500 --> 00:40:04,500 For Paulie winding up on the FBI's 10 most wanted list was probably inevitable. 679 00:40:05,500 --> 00:40:08,500 Some say he was literally born into a life of crime. 680 00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:17,500 His father, Filippo, was a major heroin trafficker who smuggled in many kilos of heroin from Sicily. 681 00:40:18,500 --> 00:40:25,500 His older sister, Francesca, was a member of his father's heroin ring. 682 00:40:26,500 --> 00:40:32,500 Her husband was also a member of the ring, and so was another of Paulie's brother-in-law's. 683 00:40:33,500 --> 00:40:39,500 With his father behind bars, Paulie set his sights on being a big-time crime boss with his own family. 684 00:40:40,500 --> 00:40:48,500 He organized the Giannini crew, a gang of aspiring mobsters who reportedly had their headquarters in the heart of Queens at the Cafe Giannini. 685 00:40:50,500 --> 00:40:58,500 It's a place that the young wannabes aspire to go to, just to be closer to the real tough guys, the made guys. 686 00:40:58,500 --> 00:41:09,500 According to police, Ragoosa and his gang spent countless hours sipping espresso and plotting the crimes that they hoped would put them on the map. 687 00:41:12,500 --> 00:41:16,500 Paul and his gang were extremely dangerous. They just didn't have any regard for life. 688 00:41:16,500 --> 00:41:19,500 If you got in their way, they were going to shoot you. 689 00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:26,500 You know, it's not a birthright. You have to be Italian to get into the mob, but you have to earn your way into it. 690 00:41:26,500 --> 00:41:35,500 You have to show that you're a tough guy and willing to do just about anything that's required to make money for the family. 691 00:41:35,500 --> 00:41:39,500 These guys, however, went too far. 692 00:41:40,500 --> 00:41:50,500 A perfect example, Ragoosa and his Giannini crew robbed the same bank in their own neighborhood three times in a row, netting more than $200,000. 693 00:41:51,500 --> 00:41:56,500 But for sheer audacity, nothing matched the events that took place in Mass Peth Queens. 694 00:41:56,500 --> 00:42:03,500 Two security officers carrying $20,000 in cash arrived at a bank to make a night deposit. 695 00:42:05,500 --> 00:42:08,500 The driver got out of the van and proceeded over to the night deposit box. 696 00:42:10,500 --> 00:42:13,500 As he walked over to the night deposit box, he realized there was a van across the street. 697 00:42:14,500 --> 00:42:21,500 He turned, at that time, three suspects exiting the van, approached him and fired at him at rapid session. 698 00:42:21,500 --> 00:42:26,500 He returned fire, emptying his revolver. He then fell to the ground and crawled to safety. 699 00:42:26,500 --> 00:42:31,500 His partner, taking cover behind a wall, also returned fire. 700 00:42:31,500 --> 00:42:36,500 A wild shootout ensued. You could still see some of the results from that shootout. 701 00:42:37,500 --> 00:42:42,500 The shootout left one security guard seriously injured. 702 00:42:42,500 --> 00:42:46,500 Authorities later linked Ragoosa and the Giannini crew to the robbery. 703 00:42:46,500 --> 00:42:52,500 Investigators believe the guards might have been executed if the gunman had not run out of ammunition. 704 00:42:55,500 --> 00:43:02,500 The main factor that makes these types of individuals so dangerous is one, their youth, and two, their total disregard for human life. 705 00:43:03,500 --> 00:43:13,500 By early 1996, a joint investigation by the FBI and the New York City Police led to a 32-count indictment against Ragoosa and 13 members of his gang. 706 00:43:13,500 --> 00:43:17,500 Ragoosa did not wait around to be arrested. 707 00:43:19,500 --> 00:43:23,500 If you want to be a tough guy, you have to show you're not afraid of anything. 708 00:43:23,500 --> 00:43:29,500 But deep down, all of these guys have some kind of a fear that they're going to be caught. 709 00:43:29,500 --> 00:43:36,500 It was this knowledge that Paulie was going to get caught that forced him to run away. 710 00:43:37,500 --> 00:43:41,500 Paulie Ragoosa has been on the run since June of 1996. 711 00:43:41,500 --> 00:43:47,500 He reportedly speaks fluent Italian, frequents high-priced prostitutes, and is a heavy gambler. 712 00:43:47,500 --> 00:43:53,500 Ragoosa is 27 years old, stands 5 feet 10 inches tall, and weighs 170 pounds. 713 00:43:59,500 --> 00:44:04,500 The case is a case of a murder. 714 00:44:04,500 --> 00:44:09,500 The case is a case of a murder. 715 00:44:09,500 --> 00:44:14,500 The case is a case of a murder. 716 00:44:14,500 --> 00:44:19,500 The case is a case of a murder. 717 00:44:19,500 --> 00:44:25,500 Some mysteries may never be explained, but others may be solved with a single phone call from you. 718 00:44:25,500 --> 00:44:30,500 Join me for our next edition of Unsolved Mysteries. 719 00:44:55,500 --> 00:45:00,500 The case is a case of a murder. 720 00:45:00,500 --> 00:45:05,500 The case is a case of a murder. 721 00:45:05,500 --> 00:45:10,500 The case is a case of a murder. 722 00:45:10,500 --> 00:45:15,500 The case is a case of a murder.
