1
00:00:20,740 --> 00:00:18,760
the Gorman's were especially sensitive

2
00:00:22,810 --> 00:00:20,750
to the incident with the Bulls because

3
00:00:25,870 --> 00:00:22,820
of the losses they'd already suffered

4
00:00:28,030 --> 00:00:25,880
out of a herd of 80 cattle they lost 14

5
00:00:30,820 --> 00:00:28,040
head prior to the arrival of knids

6
00:00:33,610 --> 00:00:30,830
some disappeared others were sliced up

7
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:33,620
12 more cows and calves were killed

8
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:35,690
while knids was on the ranch their

9
00:00:39,819 --> 00:00:37,730
neighbors the Garcias lost several

10
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:39,829
animals as well some of their cattle

11
00:00:43,450 --> 00:00:41,450
appeared to have been killed by being

12
00:00:45,970 --> 00:00:43,460
dropped onto the pasture from a great

13
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:45,980
height the cattle mutilation mystery has

14
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:48,410
been reported in at least 15 states

15
00:00:52,930 --> 00:00:51,290
dating back to the 1960s thousands of

16
00:00:55,150 --> 00:00:52,940
animals have been sliced up with

17
00:00:57,790 --> 00:00:55,160
surgical precision mostly under the

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:00:57,800
cover of darkness if humans are doing it

19
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:00,050
not a single suspect has ever been

20
00:01:04,990 --> 00:01:02,330
caught for the Gorman's the livestock

21
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:05,000
losses were devastating both financially

22
00:01:13,090 --> 00:01:07,610
and psychologically and then things got

23
00:01:14,740 --> 00:01:13,100
worse on March 10th 1997 Tom Gorman and

24
00:01:17,109 --> 00:01:14,750
his wife walked out of their home and

25
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:17,119
into the pasture planning to tag the

26
00:01:21,430 --> 00:01:19,250
ears of several calves that had been

27
00:01:23,530 --> 00:01:21,440
born in the preceding days it was a

28
00:01:25,780 --> 00:01:23,540
bright clear morning snow was on the

29
00:01:27,460 --> 00:01:25,790
ground 50 yards from their house they

30
00:01:31,719 --> 00:01:27,470
found the first calf was they were with

31
00:01:33,850 --> 00:01:31,729
their third dog the two of them tagged

32
00:01:37,090 --> 00:01:33,860
and weighed this animal they they

33
00:01:41,790 --> 00:01:37,100
checked it at I believe was 84 pounds or

34
00:01:44,170 --> 00:01:41,800
87 pounds and they left the animal there

35
00:01:46,270 --> 00:01:44,180
with it with the mother everything

36
00:01:49,660 --> 00:01:46,280
seemed to be fine although they did

37
00:01:52,570 --> 00:01:49,670
detect an odor in the air around this

38
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:52,580
area they they they detected a strong

39
00:01:59,950 --> 00:01:56,810
musk smell they took note of it and then

40
00:02:02,109 --> 00:01:59,960
they headed west and they went about 300

41
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:02,119
yards west beyond that the dog run

42
00:02:08,900 --> 00:02:04,320
wasn't is not was not there at the time

43
00:02:12,260 --> 00:02:08,910
but about 300 yards beyond towards where

44
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:12,270
that incline is and they were tagging a

45
00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:14,970
second animal only 30 to 40 minutes had

46
00:02:19,220 --> 00:02:16,830
passed the Gorman's had an unobstructed

47
00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:19,230
view of everything in the field but

48
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:21,110
didn't see or hear anything unusual

49
00:02:26,210 --> 00:02:23,610
until their dog focused its attention

50
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:26,220
back toward the house and the first calf

51
00:02:31,370 --> 00:02:29,010
the dog with them down here at this

52
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:31,380
stage began to act really strangely it

53
00:02:35,570 --> 00:02:33,330
started growling the hair on the back of

54
00:02:39,470 --> 00:02:35,580
its neck went up and it started facing

55
00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:39,480
back towards here growling and snarling

56
00:02:45,020 --> 00:02:42,750
and then it just took off west away from

57
00:02:45,590 --> 00:02:45,030
this spot it just took off he was never

58
00:02:47,780 --> 00:02:45,600
seen again

59
00:02:49,699 --> 00:02:47,790
the Gorman's were curious and walked

60
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:49,709
back across the field first thing they

61
00:02:57,770 --> 00:02:52,890
saw was the mother of the animal was

62
00:03:00,560 --> 00:02:57,780
running back and forth kind of in a sort

63
00:03:02,930 --> 00:03:00,570
of half circle from about this area to

64
00:03:05,060 --> 00:03:02,940
the fence line just running back and

65
00:03:07,310 --> 00:03:05,070
forth and it was limping I mean it was

66
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:07,320
dragging its foot it was limping they

67
00:03:12,890 --> 00:03:10,890
met the animal and they noticed that it

68
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:12,900
was just totally out of breath it was

69
00:03:17,780 --> 00:03:15,510
panting it was obviously in deep stress

70
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:17,790
and it was dragging one leg and then

71
00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:19,890
they noticed the calf or what was left

72
00:03:22,910 --> 00:03:20,400
of it

73
00:03:26,690 --> 00:03:22,920
spread-eagled on the ground just about

74
00:03:29,660 --> 00:03:26,700
here with was it was lying with all four

75
00:03:32,539 --> 00:03:29,670
limbs just spread on the ground all of

76
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:32,549
its internal body cavity was gone it was

77
00:03:37,850 --> 00:03:36,090
completely pretty well all of its muscle

78
00:03:41,630 --> 00:03:37,860
was gone from

79
00:03:44,950 --> 00:03:41,640
the torso the legs were still intact but

80
00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:44,960
the one of the ears was also gone so

81
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:48,000
they called nets the rancher placed a

82
00:03:52,250 --> 00:03:50,010
call to the knids investigators who'd

83
00:03:54,770 --> 00:03:52,260
returned to Las Vegas for a rare weekend

84
00:03:56,750 --> 00:03:54,780
off within a few hours a four-man team

85
00:04:00,350 --> 00:03:56,760
including a veterinarian was on the

86
00:04:02,090 --> 00:04:00,360
scene necropsy started now the first

87
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:02,100
thing that the veterinarian noticed

88
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:04,110
adjourned the necropsy was the theme the

89
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:05,910
ear of the animal had been sliced off

90
00:04:12,050 --> 00:04:09,210
with a very sharp instrument possibly a

91
00:04:17,380 --> 00:04:12,060
scalpel and the ear had contained a very

92
00:04:19,970 --> 00:04:17,390
large plastic yellow tag like an ear tag

93
00:04:20,420 --> 00:04:19,980
that they had just put on and it was

94
00:04:25,730 --> 00:04:20,430
gone

95
00:04:27,170 --> 00:04:25,740
so the necropsy proceeded a boat ten

96
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:27,180
feet away from the animal there was a

97
00:04:30,890 --> 00:04:28,890
femur one of the femurs had been

98
00:04:34,130 --> 00:04:30,900
forcibly ripped out of a ball-and-socket

99
00:04:36,410 --> 00:04:34,140
joint which is extremely difficult to do

100
00:04:38,570 --> 00:04:36,420
I mean in terms of strength was it

101
00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:38,580
looked initially you know superficially

102
00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:41,520
like a massive predator had just laying

103
00:04:47,090 --> 00:04:44,310
waste to this animal removed you know 60

104
00:04:48,770 --> 00:04:47,100
pounds of meat in 45 minutes which we

105
00:04:50,780 --> 00:04:48,780
don't know of any predator that could

106
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:50,790
have done that and how could a predator

107
00:04:55,610 --> 00:04:53,130
inflict such carnage without being seen

108
00:04:58,159 --> 00:04:55,620
or heard by the rancher his wife or his

109
00:05:00,200 --> 00:04:58,169
dog who are a few hundred yards away in

110
00:05:01,190 --> 00:05:00,210
the same field on what was a quiet

111
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:01,200
Sunday morning

112
00:05:06,470 --> 00:05:03,690
no four-legged predator known to science

113
00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:06,480
could do it the team gathered tissue and

114
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:08,400
bone samples which were sent to three

115
00:05:13,159 --> 00:05:11,010
independent pathology labs the results

116
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:13,169
arrived later but confirmed what seemed

117
00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:15,810
obvious in the pasture that day the calf

118
00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:18,000
had been carved up by someone wielding

119
00:05:22,909 --> 00:05:20,430
sharp metallic instruments a heavy

120
00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:22,919
machete like object had slammed into the

121
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:25,919
bones a smaller scalpel like knife had

122
00:05:29,630 --> 00:05:28,290
sliced the hide and muscle but a closer

123
00:05:31,550 --> 00:05:29,640
inspection revealed that it was

124
00:05:35,060 --> 00:05:31,560
definitely sharp instruments use there

125
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:35,070
was no sign of blood there was no sign

126
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:37,410
of entrails around it was perfectly

127
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:40,290
clean not a drop of blood on the grass

128
00:05:43,090 --> 00:05:42,090
we went even as far as doing an

129
00:05:44,710 --> 00:05:43,100
experiment by poor

130
00:05:47,260 --> 00:05:44,720
blood on the grass to see how fast would

131
00:05:49,660 --> 00:05:47,270
seep through videotaped the grass and

132
00:05:51,100 --> 00:05:49,670
showed you know even two days later you

133
00:05:53,890 --> 00:05:51,110
could still see the stain on the grass

134
00:05:55,900 --> 00:05:53,900
so there was no blood whatsoever not a

135
00:05:58,570 --> 00:05:55,910
single drop either underneath the animal

136
00:06:01,090 --> 00:05:58,580
on the animal or on the grass it was

137
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:01,100
just completely plain a professional

138
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:03,110
tracker was brought in he scoured every

139
00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:05,330
inch of ground in and around the field

140
00:06:10,450 --> 00:06:08,000
looking for tracks human animal or

141
00:06:12,460 --> 00:06:10,460
vehicle nothing eventually the

142
00:06:14,740 --> 00:06:12,470
investigators reached an unsettling

143
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:14,750
conclusion the bottom line is this

144
00:06:19,330 --> 00:06:16,720
animal must have been killed elsewhere

145
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:19,340
because there was no blood there was no

146
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:21,170
blood on the scene and then the animal

147
00:06:26,890 --> 00:06:23,210
must have been brought back laid down

148
00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:26,900
carefully almost you know really almost

149
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:29,120
ritually on the spot where it had been

150
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:31,490
tagged the needs team investigated

151
00:06:35,830 --> 00:06:33,530
dozens of mutilation cases across the

152
00:06:38,530 --> 00:06:35,840
country many of the tissue samples were

153
00:06:41,050 --> 00:06:38,540
analyzed in needs own lab in Las Vegas

154
00:06:43,870 --> 00:06:41,060
and then double-checked by independent

155
00:06:46,750 --> 00:06:43,880
labs they hired the Utah calf was in a

156
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:46,760
category all its own it seemed akin to

157
00:06:51,910 --> 00:06:49,490
psychological warfare intended to shock

158
00:06:53,530 --> 00:06:51,920
and frighten the witnesses the following

159
00:06:55,900 --> 00:06:53,540
night there was another scare in the

160
00:06:58,090 --> 00:06:55,910
darkness of the first homestead shots

161
00:07:00,580 --> 00:06:58,100
were fired at something that had rattled

162
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:00,590
the herd eventually colum Kelleher

163
00:07:05,170 --> 00:07:02,510
surmised that the perpetrators

164
00:07:07,330 --> 00:07:05,180
responsible for the calf were mechanical

165
00:07:07,930 --> 00:07:07,340
like an assembly line in a meat packing

166
00:07:10,660 --> 00:07:07,940
plant

167
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:10,670
a machine was involved with this carnage

168
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:14,450
whatever happened to that calf was an

169
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:18,090
extraordinary skillful job

170
00:07:28,170 --> 00:07:36,400
[Music]

171
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:38,930
mutilations are clearly one aspect we

172
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:40,650
can put our finger on that we can

173
00:07:47,180 --> 00:07:43,770
quantify to a degree physical evidence

174
00:07:50,659 --> 00:07:47,190
remains after the event and we grasp to

175
00:07:52,670 --> 00:07:50,669
it in search of answers who is

176
00:07:55,129 --> 00:07:52,680
performing these horrific acts of

177
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:55,139
violence are they meant to unsettle us

178
00:08:02,270 --> 00:07:58,290
why and are there even answers to be

179
00:08:03,950 --> 00:08:02,280
found in these questions during the time

180
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:03,960
of the knids investigations the

181
00:08:09,409 --> 00:08:06,330
phenomenon recorded and documented was

182
00:08:13,010 --> 00:08:09,419
more than elusive it never actually

183
00:08:15,710 --> 00:08:13,020
repeated itself from creatures to craft

184
00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:15,720
from disembodied voices to trickster

185
00:08:22,580 --> 00:08:18,960
like paranormal activity it was a cosmic

186
00:08:25,190 --> 00:08:22,590
game of cat-and-mouse dark shadowy

187
