1
00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:05,690
and this is weapons

2
00:00:10,970 --> 00:00:08,450
everybody hearing about this so what is

3
00:00:13,490 --> 00:00:10,980
the difference animals are killed and by

4
00:00:15,770 --> 00:00:13,500
Predators all the time there's signature

5
00:00:18,950 --> 00:00:15,780
things why is this even worth the

6
00:00:22,370 --> 00:00:18,960
investigation what are the key Hallmarks

7
00:00:24,710 --> 00:00:22,380
of a CA that you saw repeatedly Case by

8
00:00:26,810 --> 00:00:24,720
case repeated that tells you this is

9
00:00:28,429 --> 00:00:26,820
something other than normal predatory

10
00:00:30,589 --> 00:00:28,439
animals give me a laundry list tell me

11
00:00:33,709 --> 00:00:30,599
what you've seen well

12
00:00:36,709 --> 00:00:33,719
the uh the the first obvious uh

13
00:00:39,290 --> 00:00:36,719
difference is that a predator when they

14
00:00:41,930 --> 00:00:39,300
attack a cow you know whether it be

15
00:00:44,450 --> 00:00:41,940
coyotes or Wolves or or whatever

16
00:00:47,690 --> 00:00:44,460
Predator cats

17
00:00:50,209 --> 00:00:47,700
um there's a lot of mess you know they

18
00:00:52,190 --> 00:00:50,219
open up the abdomen they open up you

19
00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:52,200
know various parts of the animal and

20
00:00:57,229 --> 00:00:54,480
there's a huge amount of Blood on the on

21
00:00:59,869 --> 00:00:57,239
the grass there's a lot of entrails

22
00:01:02,529 --> 00:00:59,879
spread around I mean we've seen this uh

23
00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:02,539
so so it's uh it's pretty obvious

24
00:01:08,090 --> 00:01:05,280
complete contrast with a with a cattle

25
00:01:11,149 --> 00:01:08,100
mutilation is there's usually pretty

26
00:01:13,730 --> 00:01:11,159
precise Cuts around the anus for example

27
00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:13,740
would be cord out you can see the edges

28
00:01:17,929 --> 00:01:16,080
of the wounds on the hide and they're

29
00:01:20,570 --> 00:01:17,939
very sharp edges I mean it looks like

30
00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:20,580
some kind of a scalpel or a surgical

31
00:01:26,330 --> 00:01:23,460
instrument has been used a lot of the

32
00:01:28,910 --> 00:01:26,340
time you see eyes removed and you see a

33
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:28,920
sort of a a really sharp cut around the

34
00:01:35,390 --> 00:01:32,400
eyes we've even looked at the hair on on

35
00:01:38,749 --> 00:01:35,400
under a microscope of around the eyes

36
00:01:41,630 --> 00:01:38,759
and you can see how how crisp the cuts

37
00:01:44,390 --> 00:01:41,640
are from around the eyes ears are are a

38
00:01:46,969 --> 00:01:44,400
lot of the time lopped off sometimes you

39
00:01:49,130 --> 00:01:46,979
know the ear carries a a plastic ear tag

40
00:01:51,530 --> 00:01:49,140
that the Rancher uses to identify the

41
00:01:54,590 --> 00:01:51,540
animal a lot of time that plastic air

42
00:01:58,310 --> 00:01:54,600
tag is gone but the the clean slice

43
00:02:01,850 --> 00:01:58,320
through the ear is very very different

44
00:02:06,170 --> 00:02:01,860
um you know from predators now even even

45
00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:06,180
Birds sometimes can can cause Sharp Cuts

46
00:02:11,869 --> 00:02:10,080
but not the plethora of Sharp Cuts that

47
00:02:14,510 --> 00:02:11,879
are very very distinctive around the

48
00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:14,520
animal the next really sort of defining

49
00:02:19,970 --> 00:02:17,040
characteristic is usually lack of blood

50
00:02:22,910 --> 00:02:19,980
you know when when you got cats or

51
00:02:26,570 --> 00:02:22,920
coyotes or wolves attacking cows you

52
00:02:28,790 --> 00:02:26,580
know the mess is unbelievable in many of

53
00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:28,800
these cases that we investigated there's

54
00:02:33,650 --> 00:02:31,440
really no blood in the animal or

55
00:02:37,309 --> 00:02:33,660
underneath the animal or on the animals

56
00:02:40,430 --> 00:02:37,319
so now that's not all cases but in some

57
00:02:43,729 --> 00:02:40,440
cases we had a we had a case that's been

58
00:02:47,089 --> 00:02:43,739
well documented in uh on the Skinwalker

59
00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:47,099
Ranch in Utah for example where you know

60
00:02:52,690 --> 00:02:51,120
an 84 pound calf that had been born the

61
00:02:56,270 --> 00:02:52,700
night previously

62
00:02:58,610 --> 00:02:56,280
was found dead on the pasture

63
00:03:02,930 --> 00:02:58,620
the Rancher and his wife had tagged this

64
00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:02,940
animal just 45 minutes prior they were

65
00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:05,760
still in the pasture and sort of maybe

66
00:03:11,390 --> 00:03:09,360
200 300 yards away and they their dogs

67
00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:11,400
started acting up so they went to

68
00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:13,920
investigate and they found the mother of

69
00:03:18,770 --> 00:03:15,840
the calf that had been they had just

70
00:03:21,410 --> 00:03:18,780
tagged uh dragging its feet and sort of

71
00:03:23,210 --> 00:03:21,420
acting very strangely They Came Upon

72
00:03:25,970 --> 00:03:23,220
This calf that they had tagged 45

73
00:03:27,949 --> 00:03:25,980
minutes previously the calf was spread

74
00:03:30,350 --> 00:03:27,959
out on the pasture on their photographs

75
00:03:32,589 --> 00:03:30,360
on the internet of this we did a full

76
00:03:35,930 --> 00:03:32,599
report and we published it many times

77
00:03:39,890 --> 00:03:35,940
but the calf was like spread eagled out

78
00:03:42,410 --> 00:03:39,900
on the on the pasture all four legs well

79
00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:42,420
three legs were sort of spread out one

80
00:03:46,910 --> 00:03:44,879
of the legs was was about 10 feet away

81
00:03:49,550 --> 00:03:46,920
from the animal but the interesting

82
00:03:52,670 --> 00:03:49,560
thing was that we flew up on Robert

83
00:03:55,250 --> 00:03:52,680
Bigelow's private jet we were standing

84
00:03:56,270 --> 00:03:55,260
over that animal within seven hours of

85
00:03:58,850 --> 00:03:56,280
death

86
00:04:02,630 --> 00:03:58,860
so the animal was still fresh I mean you

87
00:04:05,149 --> 00:04:02,640
could see the animals uh pinkish flesh

88
00:04:08,990 --> 00:04:05,159
was not a drop of blood in the animal

89
00:04:10,910 --> 00:04:09,000
its entire body cavity was empty all you

90
00:04:14,210 --> 00:04:10,920
could see was the sort of the spine

91
00:04:17,810 --> 00:04:14,220
running down from head head head to

92
00:04:21,770 --> 00:04:17,820
stern of the animal and the uh the legs

93
00:04:22,370 --> 00:04:21,780
were were spread out it was almost like

94
00:04:27,290 --> 00:04:22,380
um

95
00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:27,300
the calf had been very carefully laid on

96
00:04:31,249 --> 00:04:28,820
the grass

97
00:04:33,710 --> 00:04:31,259
not a drop of blood in the animal

98
00:04:35,390 --> 00:04:33,720
underneath the animal we actually went

99
00:04:37,730 --> 00:04:35,400
to the trouble of going to the local

100
00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:37,740
abattoir we got four liters of blood

101
00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:41,040
just in case you know this a lot of

102
00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:43,199
blood had had sort of seeped into the

103
00:04:47,810 --> 00:04:45,840
ground and disappeared it had not rained

104
00:04:50,749 --> 00:04:47,820
during that period so there was really

105
00:04:53,510 --> 00:04:50,759
no way that the the blood had been

106
00:04:55,550 --> 00:04:53,520
washed off but the thing was not a

107
00:04:58,490 --> 00:04:55,560
single drop of blood on the animal when

108
00:05:01,140 --> 00:04:58,500
we poured blood on that grass it was

109
00:05:04,850 --> 00:05:01,150
obvious it was so obvious

110
00:05:08,810 --> 00:05:07,070
the Gormans were especially sensitive

111
00:05:11,570 --> 00:05:08,820
because of the losses they'd already

112
00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:11,580
suffered out of a herd of 80 cattle they

113
00:05:17,270 --> 00:05:14,160
lost 14 head prior to the arrival of

114
00:05:19,850 --> 00:05:17,280
nids some disappeared others were sliced

115
00:05:22,249 --> 00:05:19,860
up twelve more cows and calves were

116
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:22,259
killed while mids was on the ranch their

117
00:05:26,450 --> 00:05:24,240
neighbors the Garcias lost several

118
00:05:28,010 --> 00:05:26,460
animals as well some of their cattle

119
00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:28,020
appeared to have been killed by being

120
00:05:32,510 --> 00:05:30,000
dropped onto the pasture from a great

121
00:05:34,850 --> 00:05:32,520
height the cattle mutilation mystery has

122
00:05:37,790 --> 00:05:34,860
been reported in at least 15 states

123
00:05:39,529 --> 00:05:37,800
dating back to the 1960s thousands of

124
00:05:41,749 --> 00:05:39,539
animals have been sliced up with

125
00:05:44,330 --> 00:05:41,759
surgical Precision mostly under the

126
00:05:46,610 --> 00:05:44,340
cover of Darkness if humans are doing it

127
00:05:48,890 --> 00:05:46,620
not a single suspect has ever been

128
00:05:51,409 --> 00:05:48,900
caught for the Gormans the livestock

129
00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:51,419
losses were devastating both financially

130
00:05:56,029 --> 00:05:54,240
and psychologically and then things got

131
00:06:00,110 --> 00:05:56,039
worse

132
00:06:01,850 --> 00:06:00,120
on March 10 1997 Tom Gorman and his wife

133
00:06:04,370 --> 00:06:01,860
walked out of their home and into the

134
00:06:06,529 --> 00:06:04,380
pasture planning to tag the ears of

135
00:06:08,689 --> 00:06:06,539
several calves that had been born in the

136
00:06:11,450 --> 00:06:08,699
preceding days it was a bright clear

137
00:06:12,890 --> 00:06:11,460
morning snow was on the ground 50 yards

138
00:06:15,730 --> 00:06:12,900
from their house they found the first

139
00:06:19,310 --> 00:06:15,740
calf as they were with their their dog

140
00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:19,320
the two of them tagged and weighed this

141
00:06:23,330 --> 00:06:21,600
animal they they checked it at I believe

142
00:06:27,650 --> 00:06:23,340
was 84 pounds

143
00:06:28,909 --> 00:06:27,660
or 87 pounds and they left the animal

144
00:06:30,650 --> 00:06:28,919
there

145
00:06:32,870 --> 00:06:30,660
with the with the mother everything

146
00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:32,880
seemed to be fine although they did

147
00:06:39,890 --> 00:06:36,720
detect an odor in the air around this uh

148
00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:39,900
area they they detected a strong musk

149
00:06:43,610 --> 00:06:41,520
smell

150
00:06:46,430 --> 00:06:43,620
um they took note of it and then they

151
00:06:49,129 --> 00:06:46,440
headed west and they went about 300

152
00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:49,139
yards west beyond the the dog run was is

153
00:06:54,249 --> 00:06:51,840
not was not there at the time but about

154
00:06:57,230 --> 00:06:54,259
300 yards Beyond

155
00:06:59,450 --> 00:06:57,240
towards where that incline is

156
00:07:02,210 --> 00:06:59,460
um and they were tagging a second animal

157
00:07:04,430 --> 00:07:02,220
only 30 to 40 minutes had passed the

158
00:07:06,350 --> 00:07:04,440
Gormans had an unobstructed view of

159
00:07:09,230 --> 00:07:06,360
everything in the field but didn't see

160
00:07:11,450 --> 00:07:09,240
or hear anything unusual until their dog

161
00:07:14,270 --> 00:07:11,460
focused its attention back toward the

162
00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:14,280
house and the first calf the dog with

163
00:07:18,770 --> 00:07:16,680
them down here at this stage began to

164
00:07:20,749 --> 00:07:18,780
act really strangely it started growling

165
00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:20,759
the hair on the back of its neck went up

166
00:07:26,930 --> 00:07:23,280
and it started facing back

167
00:07:29,629 --> 00:07:26,940
towards here growling and snarling and

168
00:07:31,610 --> 00:07:29,639
then it just took off West away from

169
00:07:34,189 --> 00:07:31,620
this spot it just took off it was never

170
00:07:36,110 --> 00:07:34,199
seen again the Gormans were curious and

171
00:07:38,689 --> 00:07:36,120
walked back across the field first thing

172
00:07:42,110 --> 00:07:38,699
they saw was the mother of the animal

173
00:07:46,129 --> 00:07:42,120
was running back and forth kind of in a

174
00:07:48,890 --> 00:07:46,139
in a a sort of half circle from about

175
00:07:51,409 --> 00:07:48,900
this area to the fence line just running

176
00:07:53,270 --> 00:07:51,419
back and forth and it was limping I mean

177
00:07:55,610 --> 00:07:53,280
it was dragging its foot it was limping

178
00:07:58,070 --> 00:07:55,620
they met the animal

179
00:08:00,529 --> 00:07:58,080
um and they noticed that it was just

180
00:08:02,749 --> 00:08:00,539
totally out of breath it was panting it

181
00:08:04,850 --> 00:08:02,759
was obviously in deep stress and it was

182
00:08:07,370 --> 00:08:04,860
dragging one leg and then they noticed

183
00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:07,380
the calf or what was left of it

184
00:08:10,370 --> 00:08:09,360
spread eagle on the ground just about

185
00:08:13,249 --> 00:08:10,380
here

186
00:08:16,249 --> 00:08:13,259
with uh was it was lying with all four

187
00:08:19,249 --> 00:08:16,259
limbs just spread on the ground all of

188
00:08:22,490 --> 00:08:19,259
its internal body cavity was gone it was

189
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:22,500
completely pretty well all of its muscle

190
00:08:29,629 --> 00:08:26,099
was gone from the from the Torso the

191
00:08:32,089 --> 00:08:29,639
legs were still intact but the one of

192
00:08:34,730 --> 00:08:32,099
the ears was also gone so

193
00:08:36,709 --> 00:08:34,740
they called Ned's the Rancher placed a

194
00:08:38,630 --> 00:08:36,719
call to the nid's investigators who'd

195
00:08:41,389 --> 00:08:38,640
returned to Las Vegas for a rare weekend

196
00:08:43,370 --> 00:08:41,399
off within a few hours a four-man team

197
00:08:44,530 --> 00:08:43,380
including a veterinarian was on the

198
00:08:47,210 --> 00:08:44,540
scene

199
00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:47,220
necropsy started and the first thing

200
00:08:51,290 --> 00:08:49,200
that the veterinarian noticed during the

201
00:08:53,389 --> 00:08:51,300
necropsy was that the the ear of the

202
00:08:55,070 --> 00:08:53,399
animal had been sliced off with a very

203
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:55,080
sharp instrument

204
00:09:00,730 --> 00:08:57,839
possibly a scalpel and the ear had

205
00:09:05,449 --> 00:09:00,740
contained a very large plastic Yellow

206
00:09:09,530 --> 00:09:05,459
Tag like a an ear tag that they had just

207
00:09:10,930 --> 00:09:09,540
put on and it was gone so the necropsy

208
00:09:13,610 --> 00:09:10,940
proceeded

209
00:09:15,530 --> 00:09:13,620
about 10 feet away from the animal there

210
00:09:18,050 --> 00:09:15,540
was a femur one of the femurs had been

211
00:09:20,690 --> 00:09:18,060
forcibly ripped out of a ball and socket

212
00:09:23,090 --> 00:09:20,700
joint which is extremely difficult to do

213
00:09:25,070 --> 00:09:23,100
I mean in terms strength it was it

214
00:09:28,009 --> 00:09:25,080
looked initially you know superficially

215
00:09:30,710 --> 00:09:28,019
like a massive Predator had just Lane

216
00:09:33,650 --> 00:09:30,720
waste to this animal removed you know 60

217
00:09:35,269 --> 00:09:33,660
pounds of meat in 45 minutes which we

218
00:09:37,190 --> 00:09:35,279
don't know of any predator that could

219
00:09:39,710 --> 00:09:37,200
have done that and how could a predator

220
00:09:42,290 --> 00:09:39,720
inflict such Carnage without being seen

221
00:09:44,810 --> 00:09:42,300
or heard by the Rancher his wife or his

222
00:09:46,730 --> 00:09:44,820
dog who were a few hundred yards away in

223
00:09:49,310 --> 00:09:46,740
the same field on what was a quiet

224
00:09:51,949 --> 00:09:49,320
Sunday morning no four-legged Predator

225
00:09:54,110 --> 00:09:51,959
known to science could do it the team

226
00:09:56,269 --> 00:09:54,120
gathered tissue and Bone samples which

227
00:09:58,550 --> 00:09:56,279
were sent to three independent pathology

228
00:10:00,650 --> 00:09:58,560
Labs the results arrived later but

229
00:10:02,810 --> 00:10:00,660
confirmed what seemed obvious in the

230
00:10:04,970 --> 00:10:02,820
pasture that day the calf had been

231
00:10:07,610 --> 00:10:04,980
carved up by someone wielding sharp

232
00:10:10,550 --> 00:10:07,620
metallic instruments a heavy machete

233
00:10:12,949 --> 00:10:10,560
like object had slammed into the bones a

234
00:10:14,930 --> 00:10:12,959
smaller scalpel-like knife had sliced

235
00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:14,940
the hide and muscle but closer

236
00:10:18,110 --> 00:10:16,320
inspection revealed that it was

237
00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:18,120
definitely sharp instruments used there

238
00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:21,600
was no sign of blood there was no sign

239
00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:24,000
of entrails around it was perfectly

240
00:10:28,670 --> 00:10:26,880
clean not a drop of blood on the grass

241
00:10:30,410 --> 00:10:28,680
we went even as far as doing an

242
00:10:32,230 --> 00:10:30,420
experiment by pouring blood in the grass

243
00:10:35,030 --> 00:10:32,240
to see how fast it would seep through

244
00:10:36,829 --> 00:10:35,040
videotaped the grass and showed you know

245
00:10:39,050 --> 00:10:36,839
even two days later you could still see

246
00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:39,060
the stain on the grass so there was no

247
00:10:43,250 --> 00:10:41,040
blood whatsoever not a single drop

248
00:10:45,410 --> 00:10:43,260
either underneath the animal on the

249
00:10:48,050 --> 00:10:45,420
animal or on the grass it was just

250
00:10:50,329 --> 00:10:48,060
completely clean a professional tracker

251
00:10:51,949 --> 00:10:50,339
was brought in he scoured every inch of

252
00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:51,959
ground in and around down the field

253
00:10:57,110 --> 00:10:54,720
looking for tracks human animal or

254
00:10:58,970 --> 00:10:57,120
vehicle nothing eventually the

255
00:11:01,370 --> 00:10:58,980
investigators reached an unsettling

256
00:11:03,350 --> 00:11:01,380
conclusion the bottom line is this

257
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:03,360
animal must have been killed elsewhere

258
00:11:07,490 --> 00:11:05,820
because there was no blood there was no

259
00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:07,500
blood on the scene and then the animal

260
00:11:13,430 --> 00:11:09,839
must have been brought back laid down

261
00:11:15,769 --> 00:11:13,440
carefully almost you know really almost

262
00:11:18,410 --> 00:11:15,779
ritually on the spot where it had been

263
00:11:20,449 --> 00:11:18,420
tagged the nids team investigated dozens

264
00:11:23,090 --> 00:11:20,459
of Mutilation cases across the country

265
00:11:25,790 --> 00:11:23,100
many of the tissue samples were analyzed

266
00:11:28,130 --> 00:11:25,800
in need's own lab in Las Vegas and then

267
00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:28,140
double checked by independent labs they

268
00:11:33,350 --> 00:11:30,959
hired the Utah calf was in a category

269
00:11:36,110 --> 00:11:33,360
all its own it seemed akin to

270
00:11:38,389 --> 00:11:36,120
psychological warfare intended to shock

271
00:11:40,250 --> 00:11:38,399
and frighten the witnesses the following

272
00:11:42,590 --> 00:11:40,260
night there was another scare in the

273
00:11:44,690 --> 00:11:42,600
darkness of the first Homestead shots

274
00:11:47,210 --> 00:11:44,700
were fired at something that had rattled

275
00:11:49,009 --> 00:11:47,220
the herd eventually column Kelleher

276
00:11:52,490 --> 00:11:49,019
surmised that the perpetrators

277
00:11:55,130 --> 00:11:52,500
responsible for the calf were like an

278
00:11:57,290 --> 00:11:55,140
assembly line in a meat packing plant a

279
00:12:01,310 --> 00:11:57,300
machine was involved with this Carnage

280
00:12:04,510 --> 00:12:01,320
whatever happened to that calf was a an

281
00:12:07,790 --> 00:12:04,520
extraordinarily skillful job
