00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000 Were they abducted? 8 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000 Or were they involved in the murders? 9 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000 A Young American 10 00:00:18,000 -->

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000 December 29, 1999 47 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000 Ashley Freeman turned sweet 16 48 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000 At her home it is a night of celebration 49 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000 For her parents 50 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000 And for her best friend Laura 51 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000 Bible 52 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000 Laura 53 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000 She said to me, Daddy is it 54 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000 All right if I spend the night with 55 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000 Ashley to the Freeman's home? 56 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000 I said, well, just make sure 57 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000 You're home by noon tomorrow, you know? 58 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000 And noon tomorrow 59 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000 Didn't happen the way it should have. 60 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000 Sometime during the night 61 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000 The Freeman's home becomes an inferno. 62 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000 By 8 a.m. 63 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000 When Laura's parents arrive 64 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000 The fire is extinguished. 65 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000 But the Freeman's home has been reduced to ashes. 66 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000 There's your car. 67 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000 Laura's car is on the charred 68 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000 Property, but there is no sign 69 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000 Of their daughter. 70 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000 Jay and Lorraine Bible fear the worst. 71 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000 We did find one body 72 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000 But it's not 73 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000 The crowning coordinator told me 74 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000 That there was only one body is all they found. 75 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000 I said have they found 76 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000 Anybody else? 77 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000 And she said no. 78 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000 I said did they look? 79 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000 And she said yes we've looked. 80 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000 The lone body 81 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000 Discovered in the debris is that of 82 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000 Kathy Freeman, the mother 83 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Of Laura's friend Ashley. 84 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000 The Craig County Sheriff's Department 85 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000 And the Oklahoma State Bureau of 86 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000 Investigation are perplexed. 87 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000 Where are Ashley, her father 88 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000 Danny and Laura Bible? 89 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000 We only had one body accounted for 90 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000 Could find no others 91 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000 Yet we had all the cars there at the house 92 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000 That was a little bit 93 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000 Bizarre and no one could quite 94 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000 Piece two and two together on that 95 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000 It didn't make any sense. 96 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000 We was 97 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000 Just kind of wondering where they could be 98 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000 I mean we didn't know 99 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000 We didn't have a clue 100 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000 What had happened 101 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000 Couldn't even come up with a good idea 102 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000 As to what might have happened. 103 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000 One person dead and three missing. 104 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000 The case became even more 105 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000 Baffling when the corner determined 106 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000 Kathy Freeman died not in the fire 107 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000 Perform a shotgun wound to the head. 108 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000 The arson squad concluded 109 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000 The blaze was deliberately set. 110 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000 Authorities speculated Kathy might 111 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000 Have been killed by her husband Danny 112 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000 Who then fled taking the girls hostage. 113 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000 But there would be other suspects 114 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000 Including the investigators themselves 115 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000 Even the two missing girls 116 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000 Were not above suspicion. 117 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Laura Bible and Ashley Freeman 118 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000 Were inseparable friends since kindergarten. 119 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000 Both were honor students 120 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000 And popular school 121 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000 Even when one ventured 122 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000 Her own separate way 123 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000 There was the other cheering her on. 124 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000 Laura and Ashley call each other 125 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000 At least once a week if not more. 126 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000 What one was thinking the other was thinking. 127 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000 It's kind of like when two people 128 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000 One can finish the sentence 129 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000 When the other one starts one. 130 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000 The day after the fire 131 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000 The investigators' parents returned 132 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000 To what is now a crime scene. 133 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000 They hoped to find a clue 134 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000 The investigators had missed. 135 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000 After searching only 136 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000 Five minutes 137 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000 J Bible made a shocking discovery. 138 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000 Oh no. 139 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000 Oh, Lorraine come here quick. 140 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000 A body burned almost beyond recognition. 141 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000 Oh no. 142 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000 The Bible's quickly determined 143 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000 However it was neither Laura 144 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000 Nor Ashley. 145 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000 There was no face there. 146 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000 He did not have anything 147 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000 From the upper teeth 148 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000 All the way to the top of his head 149 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000 Was totally gone like he'd been shot in the face. 150 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000 We just couldn't believe 151 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000 That they had overlooked 152 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000 A second body in this fire. 153 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000 The body was identified 154 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000 As Danny Freeman, Ashley's father 155 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000 Who investigators had initially 156 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Believe murdered his wife. 157 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000 Like Kathy he had been shot 158 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000 At close range with a shotgun. 159 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000 Investigators re-examine 160 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000 The crime scene 161 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000 But no additional bodies were found. 162 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000 The new search however 163 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000 Yielded one important clue. 164 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000 Laura's purse 165 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000 Which contained her driver's license 166 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000 In nearly $200 in cash. 167 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000 Honey. 168 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000 What reason would Laura have 169 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000 To leave it behind? 170 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000 Unless she had been taken away 171 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000 Against her will. 172 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000 I felt that somebody had went in 173 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000 There for whatever reason 174 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000 Murdered Danny and Kathy and took the girls. 175 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000 If Laura and Ashley were abducted 176 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000 Who took them? 177 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000 And why? 178 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000 The Craig County Sheriff's Department 179 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000 Tried to piece together what happened 180 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000 The night of Ashley's birthday. 181 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000 Her boyfriend who attended the party 182 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000 Said that all was well 183 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000 When it broke up at 9 30 p.m. 184 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000 Whatever occurred 185 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000 Must have been the case. 186 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000 The police were looking at 187 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000 The case. 188 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000 Whatever occurred 189 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000 Must have begun some time 190 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000 After he left at that hour. 191 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000 At first 192 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000 Investigators believed a robbery 193 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000 May have turned deadly. 194 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000 But the cash left behind 195 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000 In Laura's purse eliminated that possibility. 196 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000 If 197 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000 Murder alone was the intruder's intent 198 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000 Who in 199 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000 Vanita, Oklahoma had reason 200 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000 To kill Danny and Kathy Freeman. 201 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000 One shocking possibility 202 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000 Was voiced by Danny Freeman himself 203 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000 Three months before he was killed. 204 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000 He told his brother Dwayne 205 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000 Listen Dwayne 206 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000 If anything should ever happen to me 207 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000 I want you to take a look 208 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000 At the Sheriff's office. 209 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000 Sheriff what? 210 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000 He and I were at his house 211 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000 And he put his finger in my face 212 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000 And he said if anything 213 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000 Ever happens to me 214 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000 Look at the Sheriff's department 215 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000 And he was serious, he was in my face 216 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000 To drive it home with me. 217 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000 For months it had been 218 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000 Rumored in Vanita that the Craig County 219 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000 Sheriff's department had been feuding 220 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000 With the Freemans. 221 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000 It began when Danny's son 222 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000 Shane was shot and killed 223 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000 By a deputy after he had stolen 224 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000 A truck and a neighbor's gun. 225 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000 Although 226 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000 Shane's killing was ruled justifiable 227 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000 The Freemans threatened to file 228 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000 A wrongful death law 229 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000 Suit against the Sheriff's department. 230 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000 According to 231 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000 Summon Vanita the Freemans 232 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000 Accusations provoked deputies 233 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000 To embark on a campaign of intimidation. 234 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000 Get out of the truck Danny. 235 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000 What is this about? 236 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000 This is about you looking all over town. 237 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000 He was basically told 238 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000 According to Danny 239 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000 That they could do anything they wanted to 240 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000 To him and his family and there wasn't 241 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000 A thing he could do about it. 242 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000 You're taking yourself out of the investigation. 243 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000 When Danny and his wife were found dead 244 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,000 The Craig County Sheriff's department 245 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000 Voluntarily turned the case over 246 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000 To the Oklahoma State Bureau of 247 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000 Investigation. 248 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000 Because it was of such a concern 249 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000 To the residents of the area 250 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000 We looked into the possibility 251 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000 That deputies could have been involved 252 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000 With the deaths of Danny and Kathy Freemans 253 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000 We utilized several 254 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000 Techniques 255 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000 One of which was 256 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000 Polygraph. 257 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000 All consented to the polygraph 258 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Examinations and all 259 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000 Cleared themselves as a result 260 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000 Of those examinations. 261 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000 The overall conclusion of our 262 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000 Efforts was that the Sheriff's office 263 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,000 Had nothing to do with the murders 264 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000 Of Danny and Kathy and did not know 265 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000 The whereabouts of the two missing girls. 266 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000 The hint of another possibility 267 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000 Occurred two weeks before the murders. 268 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000 According to 269 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000 An informant Danny Freeman 270 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000 Met two unidentified men 271 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000 One of whom was clearly 272 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000 Unwelcome. 273 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000 What's he doing here? 274 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000 Rumors in 275 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000 Veneta had spread that Danny 276 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000 Was a small time drug trafficker. 277 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000 I'm not dealing with you while he's here 278 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000 So you can just take off. 279 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000 Could a drug deal gone bad 280 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000 Have resulted in a double murder? 281 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000 If you wanted to consider that it was 282 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,000 Drug related and 283 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000 It's someone for revenge purposes 284 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000 They entered the home, killed the mother and father 285 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000 And abducted the children 286 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000 And nothing fits correctly 287 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000 In that type of scenario 288 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000 The very last thing that the people who 289 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000 Committed to murder would want to do 290 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000 Would be abduct the children. 291 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000 A disturbing possibility remained 292 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000 Could Ashley Freeman herself 293 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000 Have murdered her parents 294 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000 Then fled with Laura? 295 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000 I believe that the 296 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000 Freeman girl 297 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000 Could possibly be involved. 298 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000 I believe there's a great deal of friction 299 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000 With Freeman household because 300 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000 Of reports that Danny 301 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000 And his daughter did not get along well 302 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000 At all and hadn't for some time 303 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000 That's something we can't overlook. 304 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000 Ashley Freeman might have something 305 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000 To do with the death of Danny and Kathy 306 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000 However, it's been 307 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,000 15 months since the incident 308 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000 I find it difficult to believe 309 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000 That the girls by themselves 310 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000 Could hide out that long and not be found. 311 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Today, Jay and Lorraine Bible are left 312 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000 With only unanswered questions 313 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000 And the void of their daughter's absence. 314 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000 We have come to the conclusion 315 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000 That Laura is in the wrong place at the wrong time. 316 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000 I do feel that she's still alive 317 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000 But whether she's alive or dead 318 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000 I want to know. 319 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000 She put up the Christmas tree 320 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000 And we still have that Christmas tree 321 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000 Standing in the house. 322 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000 We haven't taken it down. 323 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000 We're not going to do that. 324 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000 We're standing in the house. 325 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000 We haven't taken it down. 326 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000 We love her dearly and wish we could have her back. 327 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000 Wish we could have both girls back. 328 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000 Because at this point 329 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000 I've taken and raised them both 330 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000 And never let them go. 331 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:46,000 The 332 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000 Jamaica. 333 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000 A picturesque Caribbean island 334 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000 Known for its sun-drenched beaches, 335 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000 crystal clear waters 336 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000 And all-inclusive resorts. 337 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000 The kind of place where people come 338 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000 To live out their dreams. 339 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000 But what if visiting the Jamaican 340 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,000 Paradise turned into a nightmare? 341 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000 In May 342 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000 2000, New York-based 343 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000 Travel Writers Claudia Kershock 344 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000 and Tanya Grozinger found themselves 345 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000 Stranded on Jamaica 346 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000 When their business trip to Havana, Cuba 347 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000 Was suddenly cancelled. 348 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000 When we found out that we weren't going 349 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000 To Cuba, we were really, really upset. 350 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000 I had assignments. 351 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000 Claudia was there on work. 352 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000 We were also concerned 353 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000 Because when they told us we couldn't go 354 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000 We also told us we couldn't get back to New York. 355 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000 Just prior 356 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000 To a trip to the Caribbean 357 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000 Claudia Kershock had landed a job 358 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000 As an editor at Fromer's Travel Guides. 359 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000 For someone who had a passion 360 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000 For travel and adventure 361 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000 It was a dream come true. 362 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000 But tragically this was destined 363 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000 To be the final trip taken by Claudia. 364 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000 While awaiting her return 365 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000 To the U.S. 366 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000 The savvy and experienced 29-year-old 367 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000 Traveller vanished without a trace 368 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000 And has yet to make it home. 369 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000 Let's put one up here, okay? 370 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000 Claudia's parents, Fred and Mary Ann Kershock 371 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000 Rushed to Negril, Jamaica 372 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000 As soon as they learned of her disappearance. 373 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000 I think down here by this side. 374 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000 When we found out she was missing 375 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000 We knew that there was a definite problem 376 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000 Knowing her, knowing that she called 377 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000 Frequently, knowing that 378 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000 She would have told us there was a change 379 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000 Of plans, we knew there was something 380 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000 Deraastically wrong. 381 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000 Fred and Mary Ann Kershock 382 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000 Were not prepared for the hurdles 383 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000 They would encounter and try to learn 384 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000 Claudia's fate. 385 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000 But coming to grips with their daughter's 386 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000 Dire situation, they would have to deal 387 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000 With Jamaican red tape, false leads 388 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000 And lost her missing clues. 389 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000 And in the end, conflicting theories 390 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000 Would emerge to explain what happened 391 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000 To Claudia Kershock. 392 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000 Sandals Resorts 393 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000 Sponsored Claudia Kershock 394 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000 And Tanya Grossinger's original 395 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000 Press trip to Havana, Cuba. 396 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000 When the trip was canceled without 397 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000 Warning, the chain put them up 398 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000 At the resort in Negril, Jamaica 399 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000 Until return flights could be booked 400 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000 Back to New York. 401 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,000 In the meantime, the two women 402 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000 Who'd only met for the first time 403 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000 On this trip decided to make 404 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000 The best of being in limbo. 405 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000 So ladies, where come from? 406 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,000 We're from New York. 407 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000 Claudia made friends with Anthony 408 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,000 Grant, one of the resort's bartenders. 409 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000 Yeah, money. 410 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000 She was a big fan of reggae music. 411 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000 Grant reportedly offered 412 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000 To take her to a nearby club. 413 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000 This looks like fun. 414 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000 No, yeah. 415 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000 Yeah. 416 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000 The next morning, she told me 417 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000 That she had gone out with one of the 418 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000 Bartenders. 419 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000 Which turns out to be Anthony Grant. 420 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000 She told me that they went to 421 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000 A club that they 422 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000 Smoked some dope 423 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,000 And that they went skinny to them. 424 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000 It didn't seem to be 425 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000 A remarkable experience 426 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000 For, I mean, it was just something that she did. 427 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000 You know, the situation is in retrospect 428 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000 I wish I could remember everything she said 429 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000 But in fact, it wasn't such a big deal 430 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000 To her or to me. 431 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000 Well, okay, so you remember the bartender. 432 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000 Tanya Grossinger managed to book a 433 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000 Flight home sooner than Claudia. 434 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000 You mean those little beach bars? 435 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000 She expected her travel companion would follow shortly 436 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000 And they agreed to meet up in New York City 437 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000 Once Claudia returned to her job there. 438 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000 I wanted to go dance with her. 439 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000 It's all good. 440 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000 But later that afternoon, Claudia Kershaw 441 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000 Mysteriously vanished from the island. 442 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000 You think I'm going to be able to find 443 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,000 Somebody that can braid my hair just 444 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000 Up the way there a little bit? 445 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000 She was reportedly last seen by a lifeguard 446 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000 Walking along a negril beach 447 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000 From the resort. 448 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000 On June 2nd, 449 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000 Claudia's parents were notified 450 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000 That she hadn't shown up for work in New York as scheduled. 451 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000 Fred and Mary Ann Kershaw 452 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000 Had an unsettling feeling 453 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000 When they finally reached someone 454 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000 At the Jamaican resort. 455 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000 Mother. 456 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000 Hotel maids had reported Claudia missing 457 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000 After noticing she had not slept 458 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000 In her bed for several days. 459 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000 Nothing in her room seemed to miss. 460 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000 Every item of her clothing 461 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,000 Except one bathing suit 462 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,000 Was neatly packed away in her suitcase. 463 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000 Her passport, credit cards, 464 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000 Cell phone, and $180 in cash 465 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000 Were recovered from the hotel's 466 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000 Safe where she left them. 467 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000 Probably the most devastating piece 468 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,000 Of news initially was that all of her 469 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000 Belongings were in her room. 470 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000 I mean, we would rather have heard 471 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000 That some of her things were missing 472 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,000 And then we would have thought 473 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000 Maybe she went somewhere else. 474 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000 When we heard the news that Claudia's 475 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000 Things were all in her room 476 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000 And they didn't know where she was, 477 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000 That's not Claudia. 478 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,000 Claudia is a really organized, orderly person. 479 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000 If she was planning to go 480 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000 Off somewhere, she would have made a phone call. 481 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000 She would have let us know. 482 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000 We felt very early on 483 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000 That something happened to her. 484 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000 That something just was not right. 485 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000 As soon as they found out Claudia 486 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000 Was missing, the Kershawks 487 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000 Hurryed to Jamaica. 488 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000 Good afternoon. 489 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000 I wonder if you could 490 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,000 Tell me if you've seen my daughter. 491 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000 Once in the grill, the Kershawks 492 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000 Attempts to find out what happened 493 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000 To their daughter were repeatedly 494 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000 Dashed by frustration. 495 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000 Beginning with a resort that had 496 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000 Sponsored Claudia's trip. 497 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000 As a security precaution, 498 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,000 The license place of all vehicles 499 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000 Entering and leaving the Sandals Resort 500 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000 On meticulously recorded in a logbook. 501 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000 The logbook for the month that 502 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000 Claudia disappeared 503 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000 Cannot be found. 504 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000 The videotape from a surveillance camera 505 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000 Mounted near Claudia's room 506 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,000 Was recorded over 507 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000 Before being viewed. 508 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000 Room 621. 509 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000 From her, Claudia's state 510 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,000 Was cleared by housekeeping and hotel security 511 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000 Before the potential crime scene 512 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000 Was processed for clues. 513 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000 Without any evidence of foul play 514 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,000 Jamaican authorities focused on 515 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,000 Other possibilities. 516 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000 Because she was last seen on the beach 517 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000 And because a bathing suit was the only 518 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000 Item of clothing known to be missing 519 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000 From her belongings. 520 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000 Jamaican police investigated the possibility 521 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000 That Claudia had drowned. 522 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000 It's not impossible. 523 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000 I would say it's highly unlikely. 524 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000 That area, it's not deep. 525 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000 And the current is not very strong. 526 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000 And if something should go wrong 527 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000 With someone there, the body would be 528 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000 Found easily. 529 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000 As news of Claudia's disappearance 530 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000 Spread through Jamaica, numerous 531 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000 Sightings of a woman fitting Claudia's 532 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000 Description began to suggest another possibility. 533 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000 Many local Nagrille residents 534 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000 Believed that Claudia was alive 535 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000 And had intentionally gone into hiding. 536 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000 The local phrase broken loose 537 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000 Was used to describe how she may have chosen 538 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000 To run away from her old life 539 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000 To live in the hills with a Jamaican 540 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,000 Lover. 541 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000 We know she wouldn't do that. 542 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000 She had no reason to escape 543 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000 As has been said, she loved her life. 544 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000 Her family, her friends, her new apartment. 545 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000 Everything was going right for her. 546 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000 So there was nothing to escape. 547 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000 We got a call that 548 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000 Claudia went off with a rastaman 549 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000 In some hills in Jamaica. 550 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,000 We have checked several areas. 551 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,000 We have spoken to a number of rastafarians. 552 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000 In fact, we have gone to an area 553 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,000 Where the report said she was. 554 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,000 And there is no information 555 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000 To suggest that Claudia Kurshaw 556 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000 Was ever seen in that area. 557 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000 If you ever see her 558 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000 Or hear anybody say anything about her 559 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000 You know you will find her. 560 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000 Where is she going? Show me. 561 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000 Frustrated by the progress of the investigation 562 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000 Claudia's parents enlisted 563 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,000 The assistance of the FBI 564 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000 And the American search and rescue team. 565 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000 According to Harry Oaks 566 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,000 In his dog Valerie 567 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000 Trapped Claudia's scent to the home of Anthony Grant 568 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000 The sandals resort bartender 569 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000 Claudia had befriended. 570 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000 The dog reportedly hit on 571 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000 A pair of boots, a pair of gloves 572 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000 And a knife. 573 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000 While searching Grant's car 574 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000 Valerie seemed to also hit on 575 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000 Claudia Kurshaw's scent in the back seat 576 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,000 And the trunk. 577 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000 The articles found 578 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000 A piece of this knife 579 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000 Material that made up the trunk of the car 580 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000 Was removed by the FBI 581 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000 Evidence response team. 582 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000 It was taken to the FBI 583 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000 Foreign secret laboratory 584 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,000 In the States. 585 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,000 It was checked for signs 586 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000 Of human blood. 587 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000 Nothing was found. 588 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000 Anthony Grant was investigated 589 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000 And photographed. 590 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000 But the results were deemed inconclusive. 591 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000 And at this point 592 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000 Grant is not considered a suspect 593 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,000 In Claudia Kurshaw's disappearance. 594 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,000 We interviewed him 595 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000 For several weeks. 596 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000 We just don't find 597 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000 Enough evidence to 598 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,000 In any way 599 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000 Believe that 600 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000 Grant is 601 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000 Involved in his disappearance 602 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,000 Other than that 603 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000 He was associated with her. 604 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000 No one disappears from the face of the earth 605 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000 In a town of 3,000 people 606 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000 Without one other person knowing it. 607 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000 We do believe that Anthony Grant 608 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000 The bartender introduced her 609 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000 To someone who has 610 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000 A much better idea of what happened. 611 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000 We believe Anthony Grant probably knows something as well. 612 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000 Today the Kurshaw 613 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000 Struggled to keep the search for Claudia alive. 614 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000 Despite dwindling leads 615 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000 And diminishing support. 616 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000 We're not left with many good theories. 617 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000 You know 618 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000 All of them are bad in some way or another. 619 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000 The hardest part 620 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000 Daily is Claudia's absence 621 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,000 And knowing we may never see 622 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,000 Or hear of her again. 623 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000 It's very easy to crawl up 624 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000 And stay in your bed 625 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000 And just not go on with life. 626 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000 But we've got to find out 627 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000 What happened to Claudia. 628 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,000 And we're just going to keep 629 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000 Digging and looking. 630 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000 The last apparent sighting 631 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000 Of Claudia Kurshaw 632 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000 Was on May 27, 2000 633 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000 Near the Beaches resort in the Grill, Jamaica. 634 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000 In this day and age it may be hard to believe 635 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000 That there are people who claim ghosts 636 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000 Haunt their homes and demons possess them. 637 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000 But this quiet colonial house 638 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000 In Connecticut is said to be just such a place. 639 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000 And the Jones family who live here 640 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000 Say they had no warning 641 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000 Of the ghostly incidents they claim have occurred. 642 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000 I ran upstairs. 643 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,000 Michael. I thought maybe he had cut himself. 644 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000 I really didn't know. 645 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,000 Michael? 646 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,000 And there was Michael just curled up. 647 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000 Like it was a fetus. 648 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000 He was just frightened and shaking 649 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000 And crying hysterically. 650 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000 Something I've never seen him do. 651 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000 Michael Jones told his mother Denise 652 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000 He saw a man in the room. 653 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,000 But it was no ordinary man. 654 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000 I saw him more scared. 655 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000 He was standing in front of me 656 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000 And he reached out to me. 657 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000 And he was smiling. 658 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000 And then he just disappeared. 659 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000 The man. 660 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000 He touched my shoulder. 661 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000 He was white like a Korean color white. 662 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000 He was a ghost. 663 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000 He said he was a ghost. 664 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,000 Well, I thought maybe something was wrong 665 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000 With Michael. 666 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000 I can't say I didn't believe in ghost. 667 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000 I just never experienced something. 668 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000 So I never thought it would happen to us. 669 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000 Michael Jones was just five years old 670 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000 When he says he saw his first ghost. 671 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,000 He claims the spirits have continued 672 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,000 To invade his home and torment his family. 673 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000 The ghosts haunt the Jones house. 674 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000 Or could there be another explanation 675 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000 For the extraordinary occurrences Michael has experienced? 676 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000 Soon after Michael's episode in his bedroom 677 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000 Denise drove her family to her parents 678 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000 Nearby home. 679 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000 I was in the kitchen talking with my parents 680 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000 When Michael started screaming again. 681 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000 Mom! 682 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000 What? Look! 683 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,000 He says that's the man. 684 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000 That's the man. 685 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000 Michael, what is the man? 686 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000 He says that man up on the wall in the picture. 687 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000 That's the man I see. 688 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000 It's the old man. 689 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000 I saw the picture. 690 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000 And I got scared because that was the man 691 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000 That I saw. 692 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000 The man in the picture Michael was pointing to 693 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000 Was my grandfather who had passed away 694 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,000 When I was ten years old. 695 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000 Michael had never met him. 696 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,000 Until that evening Michael had never 697 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000 Seen a picture of his great grandfather 698 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000 Who had been dead over seventeen years. 699 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,000 I felt safer that it wasn't like 700 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,000 A bad person that was going to hurt me. 701 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000 My mom said not to be afraid of him 702 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,000 Because he was a good man. 703 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000 And she said not to be afraid of ghosts 704 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000 Because they can't hurt me. 705 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000 At this point Denise didn't know what to think. 706 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000 Her son was supposedly being visited 707 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000 By her grandfather's ghost. 708 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000 And that wasn't all. 709 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000 Michael now believed evil spirits 710 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000 Were also invading the home. 711 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000 One time me and Michael were in his room 712 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,000 And I asked him what these things wanted 713 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000 From him. 714 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000 And I told him to talk to grandpa. 715 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000 Grandpa will protect him. 716 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000 Grandpa said that some of the bad people 717 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000 Want me on their side. 718 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000 When I talked to my grandpa he just said 719 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000 That there's a lot of ghosts in our house. 720 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,000 That are after me. 721 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000 And there's a lot of bad ones and good ones. 722 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000 And they're all fighting with each other. 723 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000 By now they were convinced 724 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000 The invisible enemies were multiplying. 725 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000 So Denise sought out a paranormal specialist 726 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,000 To examine both Michael and her home. 727 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000 It's very important to be able to go in 728 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000 And determine that it is something supernatural 729 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,000 That is occurring in the home. 730 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000 John Zafis has been a paranormal investigator 731 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000 For 26 years. 732 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000 He has studied dozens of similar cases. 733 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000 Zafis spent hundreds of hours 734 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000 With Michael and his family. 735 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000 Researching Michael's sightings first hand. 736 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,000 We usually have to go through all types 737 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,000 Of different evaluations. 738 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,000 Psychological, physical. 739 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000 I really would like it documented 740 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000 And known that there isn't anything 741 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000 Physically or mentally wrong with these people 742 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000 That are going through this. 743 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000 Hoping to get some answers 744 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000 For the strange goings on. 745 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000 Denise says she submitted Michael 746 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000 To dozens of neurological evaluations. 747 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000 We went to the hospital a lot. 748 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000 I had CAT scans and EEG. 749 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000 But they said everything was fine. 750 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,000 They all say it's not medical. 751 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000 They realize it's very bizarre 752 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000 That Michael is 753 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000 A ghost boy. 754 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000 He sees ghosts. 755 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000 And there's nothing medically they can do. 756 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000 Michael's psychological profile 757 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000 Also showed nothing unusual. 758 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,000 But his drawings of what he claims 759 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000 To be the most aggressive ghost. 760 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000 Whom he calls the black shadow man 761 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000 Told another story. 762 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000 Every day I see him. 763 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000 The shadow man. 764 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000 It's not really just the same shadow man. 765 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000 It's just like a bunch of different ones. 766 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000 I don't know why I see ghostiles 767 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,000 Happening to me. 768 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000 Zafris' research uncovered that Michael 769 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000 Was very ill at birth. 770 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000 His heart had stopped 26 times. 771 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000 With Michael, my explanation is 772 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000 That he had near death experiences. 773 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000 I believe since birth 774 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000 He's had that ability. 775 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,000 Where that door has been open 776 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000 For the spirit to be able to communicate 777 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000 With him. 778 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000 At this point, Michael is more under 779 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000 Oppression. 780 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000 Oppression is the stage before possession. 781 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000 And I think 782 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000 It is at the point where it is trying 783 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000 Very, very hard 784 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000 To be able to totally take Michael over. 785 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000 According to Denise, it seemed the bad spirits 786 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000 Were winning. 787 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000 One time 788 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000 Me and my husband were downstairs 789 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000 When all of a sudden 790 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000 We were listening to banging upstairs. 791 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,000 We heard him scream 792 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000 And we heard a thumping. 793 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000 So we ran upstairs. 794 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000 And Michael was on his bed 795 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000 Like a little boy scared. 796 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000 His bed was shaking up and down. 797 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,000 The bed started shaking a lot. 798 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,000 And it lifted up like three inches. 799 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000 And I just yelled for my mom. 800 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000 Oh my 801 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000 And then dropped and stopped shaking. 802 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,000 We all ran out of the house. 803 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000 Because we needed to get a break from the house. 804 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000 Because it was very scary in there. 805 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000 There was one time 806 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000 When I walked into Michael's room 807 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000 Something caught my peripheral vision. 808 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,000 I saw this shadow 809 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000 And he just walked 810 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000 Right across the wall. 811 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000 I asked her, I said 812 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000 Is it six feet? 813 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000 And she said, yeah, and I said 814 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000 It's just all black. 815 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000 She said, yeah, and I told her that was the man I've been seeing. 816 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000 Denise said Michael later revealed 817 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000 That the evil spirits were physically 818 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000 Tormenting him. 819 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000 Everything started getting worse 820 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000 And then started hitting me and scratching me 821 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000 And poking me. 822 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000 And it hurt. 823 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000 Usually when there's a physical manifestation 824 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000 Scratches, bite marks 825 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000 This is definitely a sign 826 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000 That the body is either attached to that individual 827 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000 Or it has some way 828 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000 Gained access. 829 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,000 And at that point 830 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000 Is where it could be very, very vulnerable 831 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000 Where that person could go completely under possession. 832 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,000 To save her son from the intruders 833 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000 Denise says she sold their home 834 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000 And moved the family across town 835 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000 But the new house was no refuge. 836 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000 I was on the phone with my mother 837 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,000 Michael was sitting right next to me 838 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000 To my left, watching TV 839 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,000 When all of a sudden he started screaming 840 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000 We just looked at my brother 841 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,000 And we just saw like a scrape 842 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,000 Going all the way up his arm 843 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000 And like it was drawing blood 844 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000 I felt a sharp pain, like a knife 845 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000 But it hurt really bad. 846 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000 That was very horrifying 847 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000 I mean it was almost like I was on top of him 848 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000 Trying to protect him 849 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000 And I still could not protect my son 850 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000 After this 851 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000 Incident we needed someone who dealt with this 852 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000 And I was able to 853 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000 Find the bishop 854 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000 Who agreed to give it the exorcism 855 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000 As frightening as an exorcism sounded 856 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,000 Denise felt it was the only way 857 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000 To save Michael 858 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,000 They started performing an exorcism 859 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000 In Latin 860 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,000 I could tell there was something wrong with Michael 861 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,000 He kept looking to one side of the church 862 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000 I saw the shadow man 863 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,000 In the front left corner of the room 864 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,000 Of the church 865 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000 And I could see his whole body and his feet 866 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000 And he was just standing 867 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000 And he was all black 868 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000 And my stomach started burning 869 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000 And I told the priest 870 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,000 And he gave me a cup of holy water 871 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000 I said, drink this 872 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000 I was praying to God 873 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000 That it was going to work and help 874 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,000 And that Michael might be granted some relief 875 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000 Although we were told it might not be the end all 876 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000 It might have to be repeated 877 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000 There may need to be a house exorcism 878 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000 We were aware of that 879 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,000 And they were right 880 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,000 Because about three weeks later 881 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,000 It all began again 882 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000 To this day very little has changed 883 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,000 At the Jones household 884 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000 Over the past few years 885 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000 Michael has undergone four exorcisms 886 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,000 And his family has moved eight times 887 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,000 Although these things always seem to provide relief 888 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,000 It is usually temporary 889 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,000 Today Michael still has 890 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000 Negative attacks 891 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000 And he also sees spirits 892 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000 We just live one day at a time 893 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000 It hurts when I see my son 894 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,000 Going through this 895 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,000 I don't know what to do 896 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,000 Do I see a brighter future 897 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,000 For Michael and the family? 898 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,000 Absolutely 899 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000 There's many families that go through this 900 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,000 And it's very difficult 901 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000 And it's like the old saying goes 902 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,000 It's always the darkest before the dawn 903 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,000 Pretty much everything's been hard for me 904 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,000 So everything that's happened has been hard 905 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000 And I'm getting used to it 906 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,000 Did she leave something that I could pick up on 907 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,000 To know that she would return? 908 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,000 I looked in the closets 909 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,000 The luggage was there 910 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,000 Clothes were there 911 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000 All of her things 912 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,000 So whatever she left with 913 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,000 It had to be just enough for a few days 914 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000 Not enough to be for a long period of time 915 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,000 Nadine is puzzled to find 916 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,000 Many personal items Margie 917 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000 Never leaves behind when she travels 918 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,000 But the most baffling of all 919 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,000 Is Margie's inhaler 920 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000 Which she needs for her asthma 921 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,000 Wherever she is gone 922 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,000 She is not traveled there in her car 923 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,000 Her family is as perplexed 924 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000 As they are worried 925 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000 Did Margie Jelovic 926 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,000 Suddenly leave of her own free will 927 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,000 Or was she the victim of foul play? 928 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000 Over the previous year Margie's life 929 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,000 Had been turned upside down by a series of turbulent events 930 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,000 Her puzzling disappearance may be the final result 931 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,000 Of that turmoil 932 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,000 Margie's sister Nadine suspected 933 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000 She was in hiding with a dangerous fugitive 934 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,000 Named Randy Yader 935 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,000 How she became involved with such a man 936 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,000 Is a story as unlikely as it is tragic 937 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000 Six months before her disappearance 938 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,000 Margie's life seemed ideal 939 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000 She was fulfilling her dream as a musician 940 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,000 Playing violin in the Detroit orchestra 941 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,000 She was also a happy newlywed 942 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000 Planning a bright future with her husband Nasser 943 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,000 But just six months after their wedding 944 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,000 He was killed in a traffic accident 945 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,000 Margie was shattered 946 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,000 She decided to quit her job in the orchestra 947 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,000 But she was not allowed to leave 948 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,000 Margie was not allowed to leave 949 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000 Margie was not allowed to leave 950 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000 Margie was not allowed to leave 951 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,000 Margie decided to quit her job in the orchestra 952 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,000 Leave Michigan and move back to her hometown 953 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,000 Gary, Indiana 954 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,000 There she sought the security 955 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,000 She had always found with her mother and sister 956 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000 It was really hard for her 957 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000 Because she was so used to being in Michigan 958 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,000 With all her friends, school and work and everything 959 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,000 It was really, really hard on her 960 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,000 She spent a lot of time crying 961 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,000 And trying to decide what to do 962 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,000 And she insisted to come back 963 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,000 But she didn't want to leave 964 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000 Margie felt sorry for her 965 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,000 Margie cope with her despair 966 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,000 By immersing herself in her
