302 00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:38,360 In exchange for selling out the mob, Golder was given a sentence of 15 years to life. 303 00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:41,360 You can assume that there was a contract out on his life. 304 00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:45,360 He became an official protective witness, and when he was in the entire time he was in prison, 305 00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:48,360 he was basically in protective custody in prison. 306 00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:50,360 He wasn't housed with the regular inmates. 307 00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:56,360 He was housed with guys who were special cases that they had to watch out for so that he wouldn't be killed. 308 00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:04,360 But according to authorities, while in prison, Golder continued to sift through magazines profiting the homes of the wealthy. 309 00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:12,360 Following his parole in 1996, he tried to go straight, or so he said. 310 00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:16,360 He even had a job in mind, working as a chimney sweep. 311 00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:25,360 I explained to him there are certain employment positions that you, because of your conviction and your criminal history, 312 00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:32,360 you cannot work, and entering into people's homes to clean chimneys is one of them. 313 00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:36,360 Then after that he had considered pursuing school. 314 00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:44,360 We had talked at length as to what sort of careers he could choose, but he was sort of set on going to a gemology school. 315 00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:46,360 He wanted to study jumps. 316 00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:53,360 Not long after, police had another rash of high-profile burglaries on their hands. 317 00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:56,360 But Alan Golder was not a suspect at the time. 318 00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:04,360 But in October 1997 in Greenwich, Connecticut, police believe Golder pushed his luck a bit too far. 319 00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:12,360 Oh my God! 320 00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:15,360 Don't touch me! 321 00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:20,360 He allegedly was forced to tie up a homeowner and fled in her car. 322 00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:27,360 Now police believe the dinnertime bandit was back in business. 323 00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:30,360 Alan Golder apparently went underground. 324 00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:46,360 We can confirm that in Greenwich, in 23 incidents of burglarie, attempted burglaries, Alan succeeded in removing over $750,000 worth of jewelry from the houses that he had here. 325 00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:50,360 In his career, Golder has stolen more than $30 million worth of jewelry. 326 00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:54,360 And police believe he has no intention of stopping. 327 00:19:55,360 --> 00:20:00,360 Alan Golder is wanted on 23 counts of burglary and one count of kidnapping. 328 00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:22,360 Coming up, some say there are codes in the Bible that predict major world events. 329 00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:24,360 You decide if it's true. 330 00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:35,360 The Bible for centuries mankind has powdered its mysteries. 331 00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:37,360 For many it's the Word of God. 332 00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:42,360 But journalist Michael Drausen has convinced that the Bible may hold still other mysteries. 333 00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:48,360 His controversial book, The Bible Code, hit the best satellites soon after its publication in early 1997. 334 00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:57,360 Drausen claimed that there is a secret code within the Bible, a code that has predicted the most important events of the 20th century. 335 00:20:58,360 --> 00:20:59,360 Here are some examples. 336 00:21:02,360 --> 00:21:10,360 The greatest terrorist event in American history, the Oklahoma City bombing, was encoded with the words, Terrible Frightening Death and There Will Be Terror. 337 00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:24,360 The great Kobe earthquake in Japan that killed more than 5,000 people was encoded with the words, Earthquake Fire, Kobe Japan and the year that it took place 1995. 338 00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:35,360 The Gulf War is encoded with the words Hussein, Enemy, Scuds. 339 00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:44,360 Ever since there was a Bible, people have been searching for secret hidden messages in the Bible. 340 00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:56,360 I can tell you that there is no doubt that the Bible code does exist and that it does detail events that took place thousands of years after the Bible was written. 341 00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:14,360 In September of 1994, Michael Drausen persuaded an intermediary to hand deliver a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. 342 00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:20,360 Mr. Prime Minister, an Israeli mathematician has discovered a hidden code in the Bible. 343 00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:31,360 The only time your full name, Yitzhak Rabin, is encoded in the Bible, the words, Assassin that will assassinate, cross your name. 344 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:39,360 That should not be ignored. I think you are in real danger, but that the danger can be averted. 345 00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:55,360 14 months later, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin spoke at a peace rally in Tel Aviv. 346 00:22:56,360 --> 00:23:05,360 It was the last speech Rabin would ever give. As he left the podium that night, he was gunned down by an assassin. 347 00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:10,360 Is it possible that this event was foretold nearly 3,000 years ago? 348 00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:22,360 The Torah. It is said to be the word of God brought down from Mount Sinai by Moses and incorporating the first five books of the Old Testament. 349 00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,360 Hebrew scholars maintain that the Torah predates the birth of Christ. 350 00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:39,360 Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1938. Rabbi H.M.D. Weismandl discovered the first known example of Bible coding in the modern era. 351 00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:46,360 The word Torah was spelled out when he skipped every 50 letters in the Book of Genesis. 352 00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:53,360 Skipping the same number of letters in the Books of Exodus, Numbers and Deuteronomy brought the same result. 353 00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:57,360 Coincidence? The odds were against it. 354 00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:07,360 Over the next 50 years, advances in computer technology led to the next major breakthrough in cracking the Bible code. 355 00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:14,360 The Israeli scientists Doron Witstom and Eliyahu Rips became intrigued by Weismandl's work. 356 00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:21,360 They used a computer program called a skip code to find words and patterns in the Hebrew text of the Torah. 357 00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:28,360 A skip code tells a computer to start with any letter of a text and then skip through the letters at chosen intervals. 358 00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:33,360 In his book, Michael Drausen uses this example to show how it works. 359 00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:37,360 If you skip every three letters of this sentence, it would look like this. 360 00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:44,360 You are left with a new sentence. In this case, the encoded message is, Read the Code. 361 00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:53,360 The Israeli mathematicians ran a skip code searching for the names of 34 prominent Jewish rabbis spanning the last 1,100 years. 362 00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:58,360 Amazingly, all the names were found embedded in the Book of Genesis. 363 00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:06,360 When the computer found the encoded names of the rabbis, it also found nearby their Hebrew dates of birth or death. 364 00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:12,360 The scientists ran the search again with a new list of rabbis. The results were the same. 365 00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:19,360 According to Michael Drausen, the odds of finding the dates with the names were 10 million to one. 366 00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:27,360 When these findings were published, they aroused the attention of researchers around the world, including Harold Gans. 367 00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:34,360 Gans is a former senior cryptologic mathematician, a code breaker at the U.S. Department of Defense. 368 00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:39,360 When I first heard about it, I dismissed it as simply ridiculous. 369 00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:45,360 Gans wrote his own computer program to test the validity of the code and had identical results. 370 00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:53,360 Then in close proximity to the rabbis, one of whom was a distant relative, he found the encoded names of cities. 371 00:25:54,360 --> 00:25:59,360 He later learned that these were the same cities where the rabbis had either been born or died. 372 00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:02,360 The odds here were more than a million to one. 373 00:26:04,360 --> 00:26:09,360 I set out to prove that it was nonsense instead I ended up proving that in fact it was true. 374 00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:13,360 I must admit, I felt a chill go up my spine when I saw it corroborated. 375 00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:18,360 Journalist Michael Drausen took the research a step further. 376 00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:23,360 Using the existing skip code programs, he searched for the names of historical figures. 377 00:26:24,360 --> 00:26:27,360 The results were tantalizing, but not entirely convincing. 378 00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:29,360 At first. 379 00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:39,360 I did not fully believe the Bible code was real until the day that Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated. 380 00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:44,360 The one time his name appeared in the Bible. 381 00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:49,360 The words, assassin will assassinate ran right across his name. 382 00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:55,360 Drausen embarked on his own ambitious research into the mysteries of the Bible code. 383 00:26:56,360 --> 00:27:01,360 He now included a wide range of history's most important personalities and pivotal events. 384 00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:07,360 If Drausen is correct, everything that follows was predicted nearly 3,000 years ago. 385 00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:17,360 According to Drausen, Adolf Hitler is encoded with the words Nazi and enemy, evil man and slaughter. 386 00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:19,360 She, I am her. 387 00:27:20,360 --> 00:27:27,360 Pearl Harbor is encoded with the words destruction of the fortress, world war and December 7th. 388 00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:32,360 According to Drausen, Watergate is encoded with Nixon and who was he? 389 00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:35,360 President, but he was kicked out. 390 00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:42,360 In the case of the Oklahoma City bombing, Drausen claims a code is surprisingly accurate. 391 00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:49,360 He says it includes the name of the building that was blown up, the Murrah building, the date and time of the attack, 392 00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:55,360 and even the name of the man convicted of the crime, Timothy McVeigh. 393 00:27:56,360 --> 00:27:59,360 But not everything in the code is gloom and doom. 394 00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:03,360 Drausen notes that Shakespeare is encoded with Macbeth and Hamlet. 395 00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:07,360 The Wright brothers are encoded with airplane. 396 00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:13,360 And the phrase man on the moon appears with spaceship and Apollo 11. 397 00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:18,360 But there are those who questioned Drausen's claims. 398 00:28:19,360 --> 00:28:21,360 Humans are pattern-seeking animals. 399 00:28:22,360 --> 00:28:27,360 We look for cause and effect relationships in our environment, meaningful ones. 400 00:28:28,360 --> 00:28:30,360 Michael Shermer is a publisher of Skeptic Magazine. 401 00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:35,360 He believes the Bible code is an example of self-fulfilling prophecy. 402 00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:40,360 The Bible code is nothing more than a form of seeking you shall find, 403 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,360 whether you're using the Bible or the dictionary, the yellow pages, some other novels. 404 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:54,360 All you need is a long string of letters and then you can run your computer skip code sequence program and come up with all kinds of things. 405 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,360 Michael Drausen disagrees. 406 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:03,360 He says he ran the skip code program on several books including Tolstoy's epic novel War and Peace. 407 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,360 He claims he found nothing of significance. 408 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:10,360 Drausen is convinced that the secret code is exclusive to the Bible. 409 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:18,360 Every major figure in world history I have looked for, every major event in world history I have looked for, 410 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:25,360 has been encoded accurately in remarkable detail in the Bible. 411 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:32,360 To date Drausen says he has uncovered hundreds of encoded references to historical persons and events. 412 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,360 What then are we to make of the dire predictions he believes the Bible code makes for our future? 413 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:49,360 The most terrible warning that's encoded in the Bible is of a possible nuclear world war within the next 10 years. 414 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:58,360 The words world war and atomic Holocaust are both encoded in the Bible with the same two years, 415 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,360 the years 2000 and 2006. 416 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,360 I'm not calling that a prediction but a warning. 417 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:18,360 That's what I think the Bible code really is, a series of warnings, of dangers we can prevent if we take the warnings seriously. 418 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:24,360 Well now wait a minute, you can't prophesize the end will come, the end might not come, 419 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,360 the end might be delayed or the end might not come at all. 420 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,360 You've now made all possible predictions which is no prediction at all, that's not prophecy. 421 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:42,360 The Bible code as far as I'm concerned does not predict anything, it warns us of possible dangers. 422 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:48,360 It doesn't give us one predetermined future but all of our possible futures. 423 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:57,360 Mr. Drozden is a journalist, he is reporting on a very complex mathematical work of world renowned mathematicians, 424 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:04,360 he has not used scientific methodology and his actual conclusions are logically unsound. 425 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:13,360 It is far better in my mind to sound a false warning than to fail to warn of a real danger. 426 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:23,360 People sometimes say to me, where's the good news in the Bible code, why all these predictions of terrible catastrophes? 427 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:40,360 And I say the good news is that some intelligence cared enough about us to encode the Bible and leave us these warnings so that these dangers could in fact be prevented. 428 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:54,360 Teenagers may run away, toddlers may wander off, but if a baby disappears more often than not, found play is involved. 429 00:31:55,360 --> 00:32:01,360 A couple in the suburb of Tampa, Florida claim someone took their baby, kidnapped her in the dead of night. 430 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,360 Only one thing is certain, the baby is missing. 431 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:14,360 November 24th, 1997, Marlene Eisenberg says she got up shortly after six that morning and went into the kitchen. 432 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:23,360 I noticed the laundry room door to the garage is opened and I'm like, whoa, what's that doing open? 433 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:30,360 And I just run to the first bedroom and I look in Sabrina's crib and she was gone. 434 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:35,360 And I was hysterical, she's missing, Sabrina's gone. 435 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:45,360 Sabrina, Steve and Marlene Eisenberg's third child, barely five months old, had vanished, taken from her own crib. 436 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,360 The Eisenberg's home was now a crime scene. 437 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,360 This frightened a lot of people, terrified a lot of young parents. 438 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,360 It was chilling for people who lived in that community. 439 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:03,360 It was a quiet, safe, out of the way place and then a baby disappears. 440 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,360 How could a baby just disappear? 441 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,360 The Eisenberg's had left their garage door open overnight. 442 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:17,360 The interior door may also have been left unlocked, but there were no clues about an intruder. 443 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,360 Who took baby Sabrina? 444 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:26,360 Marlene Eisenberg says the investigation suddenly took an unexpected turn. 445 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,360 She and her husband became prime suspects. 446 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,360 No forced entry, no ransom note. 447 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,360 We think you had something to do with the disappearance of Sabrina. 448 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,360 Why don't you just tell us where Sabrina is? 449 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,360 To me it was the most unbelievable thing I could have ever heard. 450 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,360 And you know, I was like, I have no idea where Sabrina is. 451 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:51,360 I have no idea who took her. 452 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,360 That's why you are here. Help. You know, find her. 453 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:03,360 Deputies removed a number of items from the Eisenberg home, including Sabrina's crib and bedding. 454 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,360 They were sent to the FBI lab at Quantico for analysis. 455 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:15,360 As a search for baby Sabrina continued, the Eisenberg's taped a public appeal pleading for her return. 456 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:23,360 This morning, someone came into our home and took our baby Sabrina page out of her crib. 457 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,360 The plea might have inspired sympathy for the Eisenbergs. It did not. 458 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:35,360 Some people felt they were guilty of something. Some people felt that they were involved in some way in Sabrina's disappearance. 459 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:42,360 The day after Sabrina vanished, the media taped the Eisenbergs smiling as they left their home. 460 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,360 Public opinion counted it as another strike against them. 461 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:56,360 A lot of people in the community saw that clip and saw Steve smile and they saw Marlene with a quick flash of a smile and they jumped to conclusions. 462 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:01,360 They said, why would these people be smiling? There must be something wrong here. 463 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,360 Are you withholding any information? 464 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,360 The Eisenbergs voluntarily took a polygraph test. 465 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,360 Did you help take your daughter from your home that night? 466 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,360 No. Do you have any knowledge of your daughter's current location? 467 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,360 No. 468 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:17,360 In Marlene's case, the results are a matter of debate. 469 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:31,360 They told me it was inconclusive and they told me that they expected it to be that because I was hysterical and everything and my baby's gone and they would expect that. 470 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,360 Are you lying about your daughter's disappearance? 471 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:39,360 The Sheriff's Office insists Marlene Eisenberg's polygraph results were not inconclusive. 472 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,360 No. 473 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:43,360 But officials won't say whether she passed or failed. 474 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:45,360 No. 475 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,360 I don't give a damn about Hilleburg County polygraph. 476 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,360 Shortly after Sabrina disappeared, the Eisenbergs hired an attorney. 477 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,360 To some, it was another sign of their guilt. 478 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,360 The Eisenbergs say the police left them no choice. 479 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:10,360 When the police sit across from you and say, we believe you know where your daughter is and we believe you know who has her, there's a good reason to get an attorney. 480 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:15,360 Months passed and still no trace of the baby. 481 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:29,360 The police held several press conferences fairly early on in the case and told the reporters that in fact they had evidence and that we should just hang on, that they were processing the evidence and that it would be forthcoming. 482 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:34,360 That was almost a year ago and I've not seen any of that evidence to date. 483 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:43,360 The police declined to comment on any evidence in this case, including the results of tests done in the FBI lab at Quantico. 484 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:53,360 Unfortunately, most of the leads bring us back to a dead end and that brings us back to this community and we feel that the answers to this crime are within this community. 485 00:36:54,360 --> 00:37:00,360 Our policy has always been that we don't list people as a suspect unless we have enough to charge them. 486 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:13,360 We have not ruled the Eisenbergs out. They have failed to assist us in some ways and it makes it more difficult to rule them out as having some involvement in the case. 487 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,360 The Eisenbergs continue to maintain Sabrina was kidnapped. 488 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:35,360 I believe that somebody came into our home and just took her. It had to be someone who wanted a baby so bad and they couldn't have one themselves or they needed money so bad that they would want to sell her. 489 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:52,360 It could be that somebody just watched Marlene and I and saw our habits of occasionally leaving the garage open, knew we had a baby or it could have been somebody that knew us casually and then through others knew our habits. 490 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,360 So, you know, anything is just pure speculation. 491 00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,360 Update 492 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:10,360 In September of 1999, a federal grand jury indicted Marlene and Stephen Eisenberg on charges of conspiracy and lying to investigators about the disappearance of Sabrina. 493 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:18,360 Two years later, a judge threw the indictment out while lambasting prosecutors for misrepresenting the strength of their case. 494 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:24,360 The U.S. attorney has agreed to reimburse the Eisenbergs for the cost of their legal counsel. 495 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,360 The Attorney 496 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:51,360 31-year-old Lee Carter Jr. was a kind of guy who always tried to do the right thing. But on the morning of July 28, 1993, 497 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:58,360 it seems doing the right thing got Lee Carter Jr. killed. 498 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:10,360 A bomb placed under the seat of his Porsche parked outside Carter's home ended his life instantly. For members of Carter's family, the loss has been unbearable. 499 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:21,360 There's been no closure of any kind. I wake up in the morning, he's the first thing I think about. I go to bed at night, I'd say most of the time it's the first thing I'm thinking about, the last thing I'm thinking about. 500 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:33,360 Who would want to kill Lee Carter Jr.? Police and Carter's upstate New York hometown have a suspect. They would like your help in finding him. They believe he is a dangerous killer. 501 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:45,360 A man they suspect is an enforcer for an outlaw branch of the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Gang. The man's name is Rick Valley. And if you happen to know him, be careful. 502 00:39:46,360 --> 00:40:05,360 In the early 1990s, police believe Valley led the Angels in a battle for control of drugs and prostitution along the U.S.-Canadian border. Police alleged Valley's job was to kill people who double-crossed the biker gang. 503 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:21,360 Lee Carter Jr. had been approached by associates of Rick Valley who wanted to use his home as a safe house. It is alleged that Valley and the gang had planned to smuggle 54 kilos of cocaine from the United States into Canada. 504 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:36,360 And Carter's home was close to the border. Carter went to the police and agreed to act as an informant. The drug deal was quickly thwarted and Rick Valley was charged with conspiracy to import cocaine. 505 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:52,360 My son didn't get into detail on it to me at all. He did tell me he was working with the state police. He told me he was helping him. And I started to ask him what it was about and he said it was best that I didn't get involved in it. 506 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,360 That what he was doing was with them and was on the up and up with the law. 507 00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:08,360 Before the case could go to trial, Lee Carter Jr., the main witness, was eliminated. Police believe Rick Valley, a known demolition expert, planted the bomb that killed him. 508 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:22,360 Rick Valley obviously made the decision that if he took out the witness, had the witness killed, then it was nobody to testify him against court. The drug charge would have to be dismissed, which in effect is what happened. 509 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:31,360 Two days after Carter's murder, with a star witness against him dead, the drug charges against Rick Valley were dropped. 510 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:43,360 Two years passed. During that time, New York State and Canadian authorities gathered enough evidence to charge Valley with Carter's murder. 511 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:54,360 Valley was arrested in Canada and was awaiting extradition to the United States. While in custody, Rick Valley had his jaw broken in a jailhouse fight. 512 00:41:55,360 --> 00:42:01,360 Over the next few weeks, he was treated at a local hospital, where two guards would always accompany him. 513 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:09,360 During the course of his visit, he had consistently set up where he would take a shower around 8 o'clock. 514 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:22,360 At this particular point, he had been on the phone and indicated to one of the guards that he would like the guard to wait there because he was waiting for an important phone call from his attorney. 515 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:32,360 He then went to take a shower with the other guard. As both of them entered the shower room, the one guard was accosted. 516 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:41,360 With the help of an accomplice, Valley escaped. It's the last time anyone has seen Rick Valley. 517 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:49,360 My gut sense is that he's out of the country and that he's gone someplace else and has probably established a new identity. 518 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:55,360 Obviously, we'd love to have somebody call us and tell us where Rick Valley is in this house right now having dinner. 519 00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:01,360 And I can assure you that within moments, we'd be there and get him into custody. 520 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:14,360 When I think of Richard Valley, I think of an individual that thinks nothing of taking life, thinks nothing of anyone else whatsoever. 521 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:27,360 He is it and that's all. He has no values. It would help considerably to know that at least the individual wasn't out there living high in the hog while he has taken someone else's life. 522 00:43:44,360 --> 00:44:01,360 Next, the Hut for an Escape convict ends thanks to one of our viewers. 523 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:19,360 On a previous broadcast, we asked for your help in finding a ruthless killer who'd escaped from an Oklahoma prison. Michael Wayne Brown was able to elude law enforcement authorities for over 15 years. 524 00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:26,360 But thanks to an unsolved mystery's viewer, Brown is now back behind bars. 525 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:41,360 When he was only 18, Michael Wayne Brown and another teenager were in the middle of burglarizing an insurance office when an employee stopped by to pick up a file. 526 00:44:41,360 --> 00:45:00,360 Brown was put on death row for murdering Richard Sullivan. However, that sentence was later commuted to life without parole. 527 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:14,360 Michael Wayne Brown had served nine years in the Oklahoma State prison system when his luck began to change. A lonely widow named Donna Moses began writing him letters as part of her church group's attempt to help convicts find spiritual comfort. 528 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,360 But these pen pals quickly became something more. 529 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:32,360 She was lonely. She hadn't had anybody for a very long time and she needed that companionship, you know, someone, you know, to talk to her about things and show her love and affection and that's what she got from him. 530 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:49,360 Less than three months after meeting Brown, Donna Moses married him. In November of 1984, Brown was transferred to a minimum security prison. It was a perfect opportunity and he wasted little time. 531 00:45:49,360 --> 00:46:02,360 Michael Wayne Brown and another inmate jumped a four-foot fence and raced for freedom. Authorities believe that Donna Moses Brown drove the getaway car. Within a year, the second convict was captured. 532 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:10,360 For 15 years, authorities received numerous tips about the whereabouts of Michael and Donna Brown and then finally, one paid off. 533 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:19,360 Update. In 1999, an alert unsolved mysteries viewer chastised upon a photograph from our website. 534 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:26,360 I couldn't believe it. It looked like him, but my mind said it's not him, but the picture said it was him. 535 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:39,360 Greg knew Donna and Michael Brown as Linda and Kenneth Ginter. The Ginter's owned a video store in the quiet suburb of Ketterling, Ohio. In fact, Greg's wife worked at the store. 536 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:52,360 He'd never know he was a murderer. He would never know that. Like I say, he was like an icon of the community. Everybody liked him. The kids would come in here and high-fiving him. He'd give him candy and super nice guy. 537 00:46:53,360 --> 00:47:01,360 Coincidentally, about 15 minutes after spotting the photos on the unsolved mysteries website, Greg received a phone call from Kenneth Ginter. 538 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:12,360 The phone rings and it was him. And he was asking my wife to work that night. I told him that I'd seen a guy on a computer that looked like him. And I said, Michael Wayne Brown, and he kind of got quiet for a minute. 539 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:16,360 And he says, well, Greg, everybody has a twin. So I left it at that. 540 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:26,360 Realizing that he had been recognized, Brown quietly dropped from sight. But knowing that the FBI was one step behind him, he turned himself in. 541 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:42,360 Brown is serving the remainder of his sentence at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAllister, Oklahoma. Authorities viewed Donna Brown as the hapless victim of her husband. She was never charged with any wrongdoing in connection with Brown's escape. 542 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:59,360 For every mystery, there is someone somewhere who knows the truth.
