00:00:20,121 [music playing] 7 00:00:20,221 --> 00:00:23,191 Tonight, we'll examine four new mysteries. 8 00:00:23,291 --> 00:00:27,027 Each one has been recreated in detail, wherever possible using 9 00:00:27,128 --> 00:00:28,829 the actual participants in the hope 10 00:00:28,929 --> 00:00:32,400 that someone watching may know the truth. 11 00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:33,434 Join me. 12 00:00:33,534

--> 00:01:16,577 A quiet residential community in the small city 16 00:01:16,677 --> 00:01:18,912 of Woonsocket, Rhode Island. 17 00:01:19,012 --> 00:01:22,516 On this day six years ago, this peaceful New England town 18 00:01:22,616 --> 00:01:25,553 of 46,000 was stunned by the most 19 00:01:25,653 --> 00:01:28,756 savage murder in its history. 20 00:01:28,856 --> 00:01:31,425 At approximately 3:30 PM, Doug Heath 21 00:01:31,525 --> 00:01:35,062 returned from work to his apartment on Providence Street. 22 00:01:35,163 --> 00:01:36,564 As he walked through the door, he 23 00:01:36,664 --> 00:01:38,966 found his neighbor's three-year-old child locked 24 00:01:39,066 --> 00:01:40,734 out of her mother's apartment. 25 00:01:40,834 --> 00:01:41,935 DOUG HEATH (VOICEOVER): When I saw 26 00:01:42,035 --> 00:01:44,305 Nicole standing on the stairs, I knew immediately 27 00:01:44,405 --> 00:01:45,639 something was wrong. 28 00:01:45,739 --> 00:01:46,974 Where's mommy? 29 00:01:47,074 --> 00:01:48,676 DOUG HEATH (VOICEOVER): I asked her where her mother was, 30 00:01:48,776 --> 00:01:53,181 and she told me that she was downstairs, lying down. 31 00:01:53,281 --> 00:01:55,115 I tried the door into the first floor 32 00:01:55,216 --> 00:01:56,116 apartment, their apartment. 33 00:01:56,217 --> 00:01:57,585 It was locked. 34 00:01:57,685 --> 00:02:00,321 I know something was wrong right there. 35 00:02:04,258 --> 00:02:06,160 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Doug went down to the laundry room 36 00:02:06,260 --> 00:02:08,196 to check on her mother, Susan Laferte. 37 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,667 DOUG HEATH (VOICEOVER): I saw a body 38 00:02:13,767 --> 00:02:15,536 leaned up against the dryer. 39 00:02:15,636 --> 00:02:17,805 In the same instant, I turned to my left 40 00:02:17,905 --> 00:02:21,074 and I saw Sue lying face down in a puddle of blood. 41 00:02:21,175 --> 00:02:24,212 It hit me right then and there that the murder, or something 42 00:02:24,312 --> 00:02:25,946 really bad had happened. 43 00:02:26,046 --> 00:02:31,385 [police sirens] 44 00:02:31,485 --> 00:02:33,587 DOUG CONNELL: When rescue arrived at the scene along 45 00:02:33,687 --> 00:02:36,224 with the first officers, they found that two women had been 46 00:02:36,324 --> 00:02:38,459 brutally assaulted in a basement area 47 00:02:38,559 --> 00:02:40,261 of the Province Street home. 48 00:02:40,361 --> 00:02:42,696 And for all intents and purposes had been left for dead. 49 00:02:47,535 --> 00:02:52,105 One woman expired at the scene, and the other one was in very, 50 00:02:52,206 --> 00:02:53,641 very critical condition. 51 00:02:53,741 --> 00:02:56,176 Rescue stabilized her the best that they could 52 00:02:56,277 --> 00:02:59,480 and transported her from the scene to the hospital emergency 53 00:02:59,580 --> 00:03:00,381 room. 54 00:03:00,481 --> 00:03:01,515 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The two 55 00:03:01,615 --> 00:03:02,983 victims both lived in the apartment building 56 00:03:03,083 --> 00:03:05,118 on Providence Street. 57 00:03:05,219 --> 00:03:11,124 22-Year-old Doreen Picard was pronounced dead at the scene. 58 00:03:11,225 --> 00:03:14,127 The other woman, 27-year-old Susan Laferte, 59 00:03:14,228 --> 00:03:16,364 was barely alive. 60 00:03:16,464 --> 00:03:18,131 She was immediately rushed to the hospital. 61 00:03:23,604 --> 00:03:26,974 Susan was in surgery for 2 and 1/2 hours. 62 00:03:27,074 --> 00:03:28,942 While she clung to life, her husband Ernie 63 00:03:29,042 --> 00:03:31,879 waited and prayed. 64 00:03:31,979 --> 00:03:33,247 ERNIE LAFERTE: The way they described it, 65 00:03:33,347 --> 00:03:34,982 she was hanging by a thread. 66 00:03:35,082 --> 00:03:39,052 Her injuries were so severe that it was touch and go at a time. 67 00:03:42,623 --> 00:03:44,592 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Miraculously, Susan survived. 68 00:03:44,692 --> 00:03:47,595 But she remained in a deep coma. 69 00:03:47,695 --> 00:03:49,563 Fearful for her safety, the police 70 00:03:49,663 --> 00:03:52,666 guarded her room around the clock. 71 00:03:52,766 --> 00:03:54,167 DOUG CONNELL (VOICEOVER): It was obvious to us 72 00:03:54,268 --> 00:03:56,370 that the perpetrator, in his mind, 73 00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:59,039 had left both girls for dead. 74 00:03:59,139 --> 00:04:02,142 We immediately became worried that he would realize 75 00:04:02,242 --> 00:04:04,044 that there was a witness to the attack, 76 00:04:04,144 --> 00:04:06,814 and that he would come back and try to eliminate 77 00:04:06,914 --> 00:04:09,049 that witness by killing her. 78 00:04:09,149 --> 00:04:11,352 We were hopeful that when she came out of the coma, 79 00:04:11,452 --> 00:04:16,457 she would be able to tell us who it was that had done this. 80 00:04:16,557 --> 00:04:20,227 30 days later, Susan finally emerged from her coma. 81 00:04:20,328 --> 00:04:23,897 But she had no memory of her attack or her attacker. 82 00:04:23,997 --> 00:04:25,833 She developed total amnesia about what 83 00:04:25,933 --> 00:04:28,669 happened during the brutal assault in the basement. 84 00:04:28,769 --> 00:04:30,304 She had also sustained injuries that have 85 00:04:30,404 --> 00:04:32,573 left her physically disabled. 86 00:04:32,673 --> 00:04:34,675 Susan's amnesia sent the investigation 87 00:04:34,775 --> 00:04:38,111 of the seemingly motiveless crime back to square one. 88 00:04:45,353 --> 00:04:48,722 SUSAN LAFERTE: Everyone expected me to wake up and tell them 89 00:04:48,822 --> 00:04:52,993 who attacked me and killed Doreen. 90 00:04:53,093 --> 00:04:56,897 I don't know who attacked us. 91 00:04:56,997 --> 00:04:58,799 I have no idea. 92 00:04:58,899 --> 00:05:00,834 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Even now, Susan's family 93 00:05:00,934 --> 00:05:04,204 is concerned for her safety, and she has requested that she 94 00:05:04,304 --> 00:05:06,039 not be identified on camera. 95 00:05:06,139 --> 00:05:08,075 When I woke up out of the coma, 96 00:05:08,175 --> 00:05:10,043 I would be able to tell them. 97 00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:14,615 It's five years later and I'm no closer at this period of time 98 00:05:14,715 --> 00:05:16,917 than I was five years ago. 99 00:05:17,017 --> 00:05:22,623 I don't know what he looked like, or anything else 100 00:05:22,723 --> 00:05:23,824 about him. 101 00:05:23,924 --> 00:05:26,026 I have no memory whatsoever of the attack. 102 00:05:28,762 --> 00:05:30,631 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Six years later, the police are 103 00:05:30,731 --> 00:05:32,900 still searching for a motive. 104 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,370 Susan Laferte was a housewife with two young children 105 00:05:36,470 --> 00:05:40,073 and was an active member of her neighborhood watch. 106 00:05:40,173 --> 00:05:41,975 Doreen Picard was studying for a career 107 00:05:42,075 --> 00:05:43,844 in childhood development. 108 00:05:43,944 --> 00:05:45,746 She lived upstairs in the apartment building 109 00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:47,748 that the Lafertes owned. 110 00:05:47,848 --> 00:05:50,984 Ironically, she was packing to move to a new building 111 00:05:51,084 --> 00:05:54,121 on the very day of the attack. 112 00:05:54,221 --> 00:05:56,757 Like Susan, Doreen's parents desperately 113 00:05:56,857 --> 00:06:01,662 want to find an answer as to who killed their daughter. 114 00:06:01,762 --> 00:06:04,097 We go to bed thinking about her, 115 00:06:04,197 --> 00:06:06,333 and we wake up thinking about her. 116 00:06:06,434 --> 00:06:12,039 You know, we have to keep pushing and knocking on doors 117 00:06:12,139 --> 00:06:16,043 because I feel like there's somebody out there that has 118 00:06:16,143 --> 00:06:18,512 a missing piece to that puzzle. 119 00:06:18,612 --> 00:06:21,749 I have no recollection whatsoever 120 00:06:21,849 --> 00:06:26,587 of basically from New Year's Eve to the 19th of February. 121 00:06:26,687 --> 00:06:29,957 The 19th totally is a blackout. 122 00:06:30,057 --> 00:06:31,425 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): On February 19, 123 00:06:31,525 --> 00:06:33,827 the day of the attack, Susan had lunch 124 00:06:33,927 --> 00:06:35,328 with her sister, Carol Rivet. 125 00:06:37,831 --> 00:06:38,632 [doorbell] 126 00:06:38,732 --> 00:06:39,567 I'll get that. 127 00:06:39,667 --> 00:06:40,701 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): At 1:30, 128 00:06:40,801 --> 00:06:43,937 two friends came to the door. 129 00:06:44,037 --> 00:06:44,838 SUSAN LAFERTE: Hi. 130 00:06:44,938 --> 00:06:45,839 (MALE VOICE): How you doing? 131 00:06:45,939 --> 00:06:47,775 My sister came back from the doorway 132 00:06:47,875 --> 00:06:49,743 and stuck her head in the parlor, and said, Carol, 133 00:06:49,843 --> 00:06:51,278 I'm going downstairs. 134 00:06:51,378 --> 00:06:52,646 I'll be right back. 135 00:06:52,746 --> 00:06:54,748 She came back upstairs, and I could hear her talking 136 00:06:54,848 --> 00:06:56,450 to somebody in the doorway. 137 00:06:56,550 --> 00:06:59,887 So I got up to go see who she was talking to. 138 00:06:59,987 --> 00:07:03,156 [interposing voices] 139 00:07:03,256 --> 00:07:05,693 I knew one of the guys, but the other guy, I didn't know. 140 00:07:05,793 --> 00:07:07,528 And she introduced me to him. 141 00:07:07,628 --> 00:07:09,229 And this is the guy that's getting me-- 142 00:07:09,329 --> 00:07:10,464 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The two men 143 00:07:10,564 --> 00:07:12,466 then went to the basement to look at some puppies 144 00:07:12,566 --> 00:07:14,802 that Susan was selling. 145 00:07:14,902 --> 00:07:18,572 Susan talked to the men for five minutes, and they left. 146 00:07:18,672 --> 00:07:23,176 10 minutes later, at 1:45, Carol went home. 147 00:07:23,276 --> 00:07:27,147 That was the last time anyone saw Susan before the attack. 148 00:07:27,247 --> 00:07:32,486 No one can be sure what happened that day between 1:45 and 3:20, 149 00:07:32,586 --> 00:07:35,022 when Doug Heath discovered Susan and Doreen's bodies. 150 00:08:09,189 --> 00:08:10,457 How are you making out? 151 00:08:10,558 --> 00:08:11,525 All right. 152 00:08:11,625 --> 00:08:12,693 DOUG CONNELL: I have to admit that I was 153 00:08:12,793 --> 00:08:15,863 shocked by the initial scene. 154 00:08:15,963 --> 00:08:20,568 The brutality of the assault. It was not just a murder. 155 00:08:20,668 --> 00:08:24,905 It was not just an assault. It was a frenzied attack. 156 00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:26,707 It was an overkill. 157 00:08:26,807 --> 00:08:27,708 OK, 15 minutes? 158 00:08:27,808 --> 00:08:29,076 OK. 159 00:08:29,176 --> 00:08:30,711 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Only one person apart from Susan 160 00:08:30,811 --> 00:08:32,112 saw the killer. 161 00:08:32,212 --> 00:08:35,816 Nicole, Susan's three-year-old daughter, was in the apartment 162 00:08:35,916 --> 00:08:37,150 that afternoon. 163 00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:39,452 Her grandmother, Florence Laferte, 164 00:08:39,553 --> 00:08:42,656 tried to coax the details of the attacker's identity 165 00:08:42,756 --> 00:08:44,191 out of Nicole's memory. 166 00:08:44,291 --> 00:08:47,027 FLORENCE LAFERTE: As I came in the house and Nicole was there. 167 00:08:47,127 --> 00:08:50,864 And from the very beginning, she told me that she let him in. 168 00:08:50,964 --> 00:08:53,200 She thought that was her mother's friend. 169 00:08:55,703 --> 00:08:56,536 Hi. 170 00:08:56,637 --> 00:08:57,871 FLORENCE LAFERTE: She saw the man. 171 00:08:57,971 --> 00:09:02,009 She says he was probably a little bigger than her father. 172 00:09:02,109 --> 00:09:03,677 He had a mustache. 173 00:09:03,777 --> 00:09:08,148 She even told me that he wore a cap with the visor 174 00:09:08,248 --> 00:09:09,549 towards the back. 175 00:09:09,650 --> 00:09:15,288 He had sneakers, and he also had jeans. 176 00:09:15,388 --> 00:09:19,760 When she heard her mother crying, she went downstairs 177 00:09:19,860 --> 00:09:24,832 and as she was going down, he was coming up. 178 00:09:24,932 --> 00:09:27,668 He had a rag in his back pocket. 179 00:09:27,768 --> 00:09:30,871 It was red and white, she called it polka dots. 180 00:09:30,971 --> 00:09:33,707 And then she was locked out in the hallway 181 00:09:33,807 --> 00:09:37,110 while the man escaped through the front. 182 00:09:37,210 --> 00:09:38,445 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The killer 183 00:09:38,545 --> 00:09:42,049 left his murder weapon, a pipe, in the house as he left. 184 00:09:42,149 --> 00:09:45,786 It was not found for four days. 185 00:09:45,886 --> 00:09:47,254 DOUG CONNELL (VOICEOVER): After the assault, 186 00:09:47,354 --> 00:09:48,989 Nicole was questioned extensively 187 00:09:49,089 --> 00:09:50,958 by the police department. 188 00:09:51,058 --> 00:09:53,560 As much as the police would like to have a person who definitely 189 00:09:53,661 --> 00:09:56,997 saw the perpetrator that day, her story has changed too much 190 00:09:57,097 --> 00:09:59,232 to be of real value to us. 191 00:09:59,332 --> 00:10:01,802 The stress and confusion that she was under at that point 192 00:10:01,902 --> 00:10:04,137 in time really made it very difficult to get 193 00:10:04,237 --> 00:10:07,040 a real solid, sure story. 194 00:10:07,140 --> 00:10:09,877 It's a complex case because of the different factors involved. 195 00:10:09,977 --> 00:10:13,013 First, we have two victims. 196 00:10:13,113 --> 00:10:15,482 And those victims all bring their individual traits 197 00:10:15,582 --> 00:10:16,516 with them. 198 00:10:16,616 --> 00:10:19,486 They have their own friends, they were 199 00:10:19,586 --> 00:10:21,054 involved in different things. 200 00:10:21,154 --> 00:10:24,792 There was also two newspaper ads that had been running. 201 00:10:24,892 --> 00:10:27,127 One was for puppies for sale, and the other 202 00:10:27,227 --> 00:10:28,962 was for an apartment for rent. 203 00:10:29,062 --> 00:10:31,932 The perpetrator might have responded to one of the ads, 204 00:10:32,032 --> 00:10:35,168 was a friend of either one of the victims, or their family, 205 00:10:35,268 --> 00:10:37,037 or was just a total stranger. 206 00:10:37,137 --> 00:10:40,507 [phone

00:10:47,748 investigation, which they believe has led to a series 210 00:10:47,848 --> 00:10:50,583 of anonymous phone calls. 211 00:10:50,684 --> 00:10:51,952 Hello? 212 00:10:52,052 -->

concerned 215 00:11:00,327 --> 00:11:02,395 with my family and my children, and not 216 00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:06,233 pursue the matter so hard. 217 00:11:06,333 --> 00:11:09,536 And that for openers,

00:11:17,144 Obviously, we're putting somebody uneasy. 221 00:11:17,244 --> 00:11:20,013 We're keeping somebody off guard. 222 00:11:20,113 --> 00:11:21,849 You know, it's like a nightmare. 223 00:11:21,949 --> 00:11:25,385 Because I'm watching over my shoulder all the time. 224 00:11:25,485 --> 00:11:30,724 And I'm very fearful for Susan because maybe someday, 225 00:11:30,824 --> 00:11:32,760 this person's going to realize that hey, 226 00:11:32,860 --> 00:11:35,328 maybe she can remember. 227 00:11:35,428 --> 00:11:36,897 I still hope every morning when 228 00:11:36,997 --> 00:11:40,500 I get up that maybe today, something will snap 229 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,435 and it will come back. 230 00:11:42,535 --> 00:11:45,839 But it's been five years, and it's still not-- I'm no closer 231 00:11:45,939 --> 00:11:49,777 now than I was five years ago. 232 00:11:49,877 --> 00:11:51,779 I'm hurt. 233 00:11:51,879 --> 00:11:55,415 I don't look over my shoulder when I do things, 234 00:11:55,515 --> 00:11:57,717 but I've always got this back thought. 235 00:11:57,818 --> 00:11:58,919 Is he still there? 236 00:12:02,956 --> 00:12:15,335 [music playing] 237 00:12:15,435

taken like that? 270 00:13:58,238 --> 00:14:02,609 And then you find out there are 500 other people that 271 00:14:02,709 --> 00:14:04,611 were taken the same way, who were supposed 272 00:14:04,711 --> 00:14:05,812 to be as brilliant or smart-- 273 00:14:05,913 --> 00:14:07,214 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Barbara 274 00:14:07,314 --> 00:14:10,283 was the only one of Carlucci's victims who would

00:14:19,592 But the fact that he's still roaming someplace 278 00:14:19,692 --> 00:14:22,862 in the United States and getting away with this 279 00:14:22,963 --> 00:14:25,865 is a terrible thought.

The police are convinced that Carlucci is perpetrating 283 00:14:33,306 --> 00:14:35,475 the same con game on some unsuspecting woman 284 00:14:35,575 --> 00:14:37,410 at this very moment. 285

00:15:02,970 --> 00:15:05,638 And that's how we first met. 294 00:15:05,738 --> 00:15:07,507 And I know for a fact that I've 295 00:15:07,607 --> 00:15:09,076 never seen you here before. 296 00:15:09,176 --> 00:15:12,445 First impression, when I first saw him? 297 00:15:12,545 --> 00:15:13,746 No style, no class. 298 00:15:19,419 --> 00:15:22,455 However, he was warm, very friendly. 299 00:15:22,555 --> 00:15:24,591 He had a good sense of humor. 300 00:15:24,691 --> 00:15:25,692 So I started dating him. 301 00:15:25,792 --> 00:15:30,163 I thought, well, he was a pretty nice guy. 302 00:15:30,263 --> 00:15:34,201 He told me he grew up in the Bronx, that he traveled a lot. 303 00:15:34,301 --> 00:15:36,036 That he was in the restaurant business. 304 00:15:36,136 --> 00:15:37,737 And he wanted to settle down, and that he 305 00:15:37,837 --> 00:15:41,408 could give me everything that anybody could really want. 306 00:15:41,508 --> 00:15:42,909 And I said, OK. 307 00:15:43,010 --> 00:15:45,812 The guy is pretty nice, I like him, I liked his company. 308 00:15:51,384 --> 00:15:55,722 And I thought, well, why not? 309 00:15:55,822 --> 00:15:58,258 By the power vested in me by the state of New York, 310 00:15:58,358 --> 00:16:01,228 I now pronounce you man and wife. 311 00:16:01,328 --> 00:16:03,963 You may now kiss the bride. 312 00:16:04,064 --> 00:16:05,999 ROBERT STACK

00:16:10,603 --> 00:16:13,406 at the bar where they'd first met. 316 00:16:13,506 --> 00:16:16,043 Immediately after the wedding, their relationship 317 00:16:16,143 --> 00:16:18,311 began to deteriorate. 318 00:16:18,411 --> 00:16:21,281 [interposing voices] 319 00:16:21,381 --> 00:16:24,351 BARBARA (VOICEOVER): He kind of jumped on me for talking 320 00:16:24,451 --> 00:16:26,886 to other people at the wedding. 321 00:16:26,986 --> 00:16:30,023 And he got very angry about the idea, 322 00:16:30,123 --> 00:16:33,793 possibly, that we even got married. 323 00:16:33,893 --> 00:16:35,328 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): After the honeymoon, 324 00:16:35,428 --> 00:16:38,298 they moved into an unfinished apartment in New York 325 00:16:38,398 --> 00:16:41,000 where they lived out of suitcases. 326 00:16:41,101 --> 00:16:43,803 Carlucci would not let Barbara out of his sight, 327 00:16:43,903 --> 00:16:45,505 and paid for their living expenses 328 00:16:45,605 --> 00:16:46,939 with Barbara's credit cards. 329 00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:52,512 BARBARA (VOICEOVER): The change in his attitude 330 00:16:52,612 --> 00:16:55,715 and his personality shocked me, because there were 331 00:16:55,815 --> 00:16:57,850 times when he was real nice. 332 00:16:57,950 --> 00:17:00,187 And then all of a sudden, he'd flip 333 00:17:00,287 --> 00:17:02,489 and it would be like black and white. 334 00:17:02,589 --> 00:17:05,558 Jekyll and Hyde, I don't know how you want to put it. 335 00:17:05,658 --> 00:17:07,194 And then I get scared. 336 00:17:07,294 --> 00:17:09,329 I really got scared. 337 00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:13,600 Because I realized [inaudible] I didn't have what he 338 00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:15,568 thought I had, which was money. 339 00:17:15,668 --> 00:17:17,504 The man was very physical. 340 00:17:17,604 --> 00:17:20,540 If you ever pull that again-- 341 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,041 BARBARA (VOICEOVER): I couldn't turn my head. 342 00:17:22,142 --> 00:17:24,377 He'd pull my hair. 343 00:17:24,477 --> 00:17:27,747 If I looked the wrong way, I'd get smacked. 344 00:17:27,847 --> 00:17:29,682 Of course, I couldn't talk to anyone at all. 345 00:17:29,782 --> 00:17:32,485 And if we were in a restaurant, I couldn't even order anything 346 00:17:32,585 --> 00:17:34,887 from the waitress because he felt 347 00:17:34,987 --> 00:17:39,092 like I was looking at the person to signal, or whatever. 348 00:17:39,192 --> 00:17:40,960 - Can I get you some dessert? - No, thank you. 349 00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:41,894 Just the check. 350 00:17:41,994 --> 00:17:42,795 Ma'am? 351 00:17:42,895 --> 00:17:45,365 Just the check. 352 00:17:45,465 --> 00:17:46,833 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Carlucci continued 353 00:17:46,933 --> 00:17:49,202 to put the bite on Barbara. 354 00:17:49,302 --> 00:17:51,704 He used her credit cards up to their limit, 355 00:17:51,804 --> 00:17:53,673 emptied her bank account. 356 00:17:53,773 --> 00:17:58,578 And when they went out together, he always used Barbara's money. 357 00:17:58,678 --> 00:18:02,849 Carlucci bled Barbara dry. 358 00:18:02,949 --> 00:18:05,118 I was just held captive-- let's put it that way-- 359 00:18:05,218 --> 00:18:06,786 for about six months. 360 00:18:06,886 --> 00:18:09,389 Did Never let me out of his sight. 361 00:18:09,489 --> 00:18:11,791 Not one time. 362 00:18:11,891 --> 00:18:14,561 I couldn't go to the bathroom without him being there. 363 00:18:14,661 --> 00:18:18,097 So I had no way of trying to contact anyone, 364 00:18:18,198 --> 00:18:20,667 or telling anyone about anything. 365 00:18:49,896 --> 00:18:51,431 BARBARA (VOICEOVER): He caught me with the razor. 366 00:18:51,531 --> 00:18:54,434 I was going to cut my wrists because that was 367 00:18:54,534 --> 00:18:57,304 the only way I could get out. 368 00:18:57,404 --> 00:19:00,240 He knew that I was going to die, whether I did it myself, 369 00:19:00,340 --> 00:19:03,310 or I would just waste away and die. 370 00:19:03,410 --> 00:19:05,412 So his reaction was, well, I may as well let you 371 00:19:05,512 --> 00:19:06,446 go because you're going to die. 372 00:19:10,483 --> 00:19:14,187 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): On May 31, 1982, almost six months 373 00:19:14,287 --> 00:19:18,391 after their wedding, Louis Carlucci left Barbara, having 374 00:19:18,491 --> 00:19:20,627 squandered all of her savings. 375 00:19:20,727 --> 00:19:25,198 A total of $20,000. 376 00:19:25,298 --> 00:19:27,267 Encouraged by her friends, Barbara 377 00:19:27,367 --> 00:19:29,636 filed charges with the police. 378 00:19:29,736 --> 00:19:31,238 KEN KLEINLEIN: When Barbara first came to us 379 00:19:31,338 --> 00:19:33,806 and gave us information about Carlucci, 380 00:19:33,906 --> 00:19:36,376 we started our investigation and began to talking 381 00:19:36,476 --> 00:19:38,578 to quite a few people. 382 00:19:38,678 --> 00:19:41,814 To speak to these women was an eye opener for me. 383 00:19:41,914 --> 00:19:45,117 Carlucci doesn't just leave physical and financial wreckage 384 00:19:45,218 --> 00:19:46,353 behind him. 385 00:19:46,453 --> 00:19:50,457 It's kind of a psychological scarring that you see. 386 00:19:50,557 --> 00:19:52,225 And how long was it between the time you were-- 387 00:19:52,325 --> 00:19:54,227 KEN KLEINLEIN (VOICEOVER): They feel embarrassed and ashamed, 388 00:19:54,327 --> 00:19:55,795 and they don't want their relatives and friends 389 00:19:55,895 --> 00:19:58,097 and coworkers to know about it. 390 00:19:58,197 --> 00:20:01,000 I would like to see this man get caught. 391 00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:04,036 He doesn't belong out in society. 392 00:20:04,136 --> 00:20:08,775 And whether he will hurt anybody very physically, I don't know. 393 00:20:08,875 --> 00:20:11,478 But he definitely has to be taken off the streets. 394 00:20:16,215 --> 00:20:17,817 KEN KLEINLEIN (VOICEOVER): He travels all over. 395 00:20:17,917 --> 00:20:21,988 We've had him in California, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Florida, 396 00:20:22,088 --> 00:20:24,791 New Jersey, New York State. 397 00:20:24,891 --> 00:20:27,494 He moves around quite a bit. 398 00:20:27,594 --> 00:20:32,699 He's wanted for bigamy, grand larceny, and fraud. 399 00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:35,167 I'd be very surprised if at this moment, 400 00:20:35,268 --> 00:20:37,537 Carlucci was not with a woman. 401 00:20:37,637 --> 00:20:42,309 I'm sure he's been dealing with maybe 10 or 15 women a year, 402 00:20:42,409 --> 00:20:44,344 at the very least, because he's not 403 00:20:44,444 --> 00:20:46,446 going to stop what he's doing. 404 00:20:46,546 --> 00:20:47,747 This is the way he makes his living. 405 00:20:55,021 --> 00:20:56,255 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Louis Carlucci 406 00:20:56,356 --> 00:20:58,224 has a dubious distinction of being captured 407 00:20:58,325 --> 00:21:01,494 twice, thanks to viewers' tips. 408 00:21:01,594 --> 00:21:03,663 After we first broadcast Carlucci's story, 409 00:21:03,763 --> 00:21:06,599 he was arrested in Nashville, Tennessee. 410 00:21:06,699 --> 00:21:08,167 He was extradited back to New York 411 00:21:08,267 --> 00:21:11,638 and later released on $1,000 bail, pending trial. 412 00:21:11,738 --> 00:21:14,441 Once again, Carlucci disappeared. 413 00:21:14,541 --> 00:21:16,343 And once again, after we featured 414 00:21:16,443 --> 00:21:19,912 him on a second broadcast, a viewer's tip led to his arrest. 415 00:21:20,012 --> 00:21:20,947 This time in Los Angeles. 416 00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:33,760 In a moment, the story of a quiet church-going housewife 417 00:21:33,860 --> 00:21:36,696 who is accused of helping a convicted murderer 418 00:21:36,796 --> 00:21:40,132 escape from prison. 419 00:21:40,232 --> 00:21:44,504 [music playing] 420 00:21:46,072 --> 00:21:50,377 [church singing] 421 00:21:54,414 --> 00:21:57,016 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): In 1986, Diane Brodbeck, 422 00:21:57,116 --> 00:22:00,920 a 43-year-old housewife, lived in the small Pennsylvania 423 00:22:01,020 --> 00:22:02,789 town of Wellsville. 424 00:22:02,889 --> 00:22:04,724 She was a devout Christian and had 425 00:22:04,824 --> 00:22:09,429 been active in her local church for almost 20 years. 426 00:22:09,529 --> 00:22:16,135 On April 5, 1986, Diane Brodbeck disappeared. 427 00:22:16,235 --> 00:22:18,371 A month later, Dianne's abandoned car 428 00:22:18,471 --> 00:22:23,510 was found in a motel parking lot 30 minutes from her home. 429 00:22:23,610 --> 00:22:26,446 In the trunk, the police found Diane's overnight bag. 430 00:22:29,782 --> 00:22:33,953 The same day Diane vanished, Jon Yount, a long-term inmate 431 00:22:34,053 --> 00:22:37,857 at a local prison escaped. 432 00:22:37,957 --> 00:22:40,627 Yount was serving a life sentence for the brutal murder 433 00:22:40,727 --> 00:22:44,063 of an 18-year-old school girl. 434 00:22:44,163 --> 00:22:47,233 At the exact time that he escaped, 435 00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:51,037 Diane Brodbeck was seen just one half mile from the prison, 436 00:22:51,137 --> 00:22:55,675 driving along the same country road where Jon Yount vanished. 437 00:22:55,775 --> 00:22:57,477 I don't know if Diane's alive. 438 00:22:57,577 --> 00:22:58,911 I hope she's alive. 439 00:22:59,011 --> 00:23:00,913 I really do. 440 00:23:01,013 --> 00:23:04,917 I believe, personally, that she is alive. 441 00:23:05,017 --> 00:23:07,887 And I think she is with Jon. 442 00:23:07,987 --> 00:23:09,856 Neither Jon Yount or Diane Brodbeck have 443 00:23:09,956 --> 00:23:12,559 been seen for almost two years. 444 00:23:12,659 --> 00:23:14,527 The authorities believe Diane may have been Yount's 445 00:23:14,627 --> 00:23:17,296 accomplice, and her family is mystified 446 00:23:17,396 --> 00:23:19,799 as to why this apparently respectable and happily married 447 00:23:19,899 --> 00:23:22,969 woman should have vanished without a word. 448 00:23:23,069 --> 00:23:25,938 Was Diana kidnapped by a desperate prisoner? 449 00:23:26,038 --> 00:23:28,875 Or was she a willing accomplice who helped a convicted murderer 450 00:23:28,975 --> 00:23:30,977 escape? 451 00:23:31,077 --> 00:23:33,012 I know my daughter. 452 00:23:33,112 --> 00:23:36,649 She would not deliberately help a convicted 453 00:23:36,749 --> 00:23:38,918 murderer escape from prison. 454 00:23:39,018 --> 00:23:41,387 My daughter would not do this. 455 00:23:41,488 --> 00:23:44,724 Yes, I think that my wife probably did help Jon Yount get 456 00:23:44,824 --> 00:23:47,026 out of jail, under pressure. 457 00:23:47,126 --> 00:23:49,662 For what reason, I don't know. 458 00:23:49,762 --> 00:23:50,763 It's hard to say. 459 00:23:50,863 --> 00:23:55,267 She could have been threatened by Jon Yount. 460 00:23:55,367 --> 00:23:56,569 I don't know what happened. 461 00:23:56,669 --> 00:23:59,038 I really don't. 462 00:23:59,138 --> 00:24:00,907 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Diane Brodbeck and her husband 463 00:24:01,007 --> 00:24:02,842 Chester had two daughters, and had 464 00:24:02,942 --> 00:24:06,579 just celebrated their silver wedding anniversary. 465 00:24:06,679 --> 00:24:08,548 Diane led a busy life. 466 00:24:08,648 --> 00:24:11,217 She had worked as a bank manager, avidly pursued 467 00:24:11,317 --> 00:24:13,820 an interest in psychology, and as one 468 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,955 of her many community activities, 469 00:24:16,055 --> 00:24:19,258 wrote letters to prisoners who had no family or friends. 470 00:24:28,267 --> 00:24:32,672 In 1966, Jon Yount was a popular math teacher at the high school 471 00:24:32,772 --> 00:24:35,307 in Dubois, Pennsylvania. 472 00:24:35,407 --> 00:24:39,245 On April 28, 1966, Yount offered a ride 473 00:24:39,345 --> 00:24:41,914 to Pamela Sue Rimer, one of his pupils, 474 00:24:42,014 --> 00:24:44,016 as she was walking home from school. 475 00:24:44,116 --> 00:24:45,317 - Need a ride? - No, no, really. 476 00:24:45,417 --> 00:24:46,452 That's OK. 477 00:24:46,553 --> 00:24:47,720 I only live right up the road, right up there. 478 00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:49,288 Well, hop in. I'll give you a ride. 479 00:24:49,388 --> 00:24:50,690 - No, that's OK. - No, no, I insist. 480 00:24:50,790 --> 00:24:51,591 Hop in. 481 00:24:51,691 --> 00:24:52,659 OK, all right. 482 00:24:56,195 --> 00:24:57,063 Thank you. 483 00:25:00,432 --> 00:25:01,868 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Later that afternoon, 484 00:25:01,968 --> 00:25:03,636 Pamela's school books were discovered 485 00:25:03,736 --> 00:25:05,805 beside the country road. 486 00:25:05,905 --> 00:25:09,576 In the nearby woods, searchers found her body. 487 00:25:09,676 --> 00:25:12,712 I think I see something over there! 488 00:25:12,812 --> 00:25:13,813 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): She had 489 00:25:13,913 --> 00:25:16,816 been beaten with a wrench, raped, 490 00:25:16,916 --> 00:25:17,917 and her throat had been cut. 491 00:25:20,553 --> 00:25:23,055 The next day, Jon Yount confessed to the murder 492 00:25:23,155 --> 00:25:25,224 of Pamela Sue Rimer. 493 00:25:25,324 --> 00:25:27,526 He was convicted of first degree murder 494 00:25:27,627 --> 00:25:29,061 and sentenced to life in prison. 495 00:25:35,134 --> 00:25:41,407 16 years later, Jon began writing to Diane Brodbeck. 496 00:25:41,507 --> 00:25:44,276 JON YOUNT (VOICEOVER): Hi, my precious lady. 497 00:25:44,376 --> 00:25:47,747 I wanted you to be close to me so much today. 498 00:25:47,847 --> 00:25:50,750 I hope my enjoyment and adoration of you 499 00:25:50,850 --> 00:25:53,552 is an incentive to be the best you can. 500 00:25:53,653 --> 00:25:56,255 You are a classy lady. 501 00:25:56,355 --> 00:25:59,659 I miss you and love you. 502 00:25:59,759 --> 00:26:02,061 Jon. 503 00:26:02,161 --> 00:26:04,631 FAYE SNIDER: Diane met Jon through a friend of hers 504 00:26:04,731 --> 00:26:06,165 who had been visiting Jon. 505 00:26:06,265 --> 00:26:09,268 And she was no longer able to do it. 506 00:26:09,368 --> 00:26:12,739 And Diane had been corresponding with prisoners in other states, 507 00:26:12,839 --> 00:26:15,675 and she thought this would be like a continuation of what she 508 00:26:15,775 --> 00:26:17,877 had been doing, and it would be a very 509 00:26:17,977 --> 00:26:20,579 fulfilling thing for her to do. 510 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,416 She was just always thinking of other people. 511 00:26:24,516 --> 00:26:25,818 She really was a people person. 512 00:26:29,488 --> 00:26:31,590 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): After 20 years behind bars, 513 00:26:31,691 --> 00:26:35,261 Jon Yount had become a model prisoner. 514 00:26:35,361 --> 00:26:39,365 He played organ for the choir, mastered computer programming, 515 00:26:39,465 --> 00:26:41,233 and taught in the prison school. 516 00:26:41,333 --> 00:26:42,969 JOSEPH MAZURKIEWICZ (VOICEOVER): Around here, it was 517 00:26:43,069 --> 00:26:45,772 very easy for him to be liked. 518 00:26:45,872 --> 00:26:49,008 And he had a real good manner about him, 519 00:26:49,108 --> 00:26:51,477 in terms of getting involved with people. 520 00:26:51,577 --> 00:26:52,478 OK, class. 521 00:26:52,578 --> 00:26:54,180 If you would open your books to page 522 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,716 69, the bottom of the page. 523 00:26:56,816 --> 00:26:58,417 JOSEPH MAZURKIEWICZ: Jon is a strong willed person, 524 00:26:58,517 --> 00:26:59,952 and very persuasive. 525 00:27:00,052 --> 00:27:01,688 I believe that he could probably persuade 526 00:27:01,788 --> 00:27:04,791 almost anybody, given the right opportunity, 527 00:27:04,891 --> 00:27:07,526 and given the right time. 528 00:27:07,626 --> 00:27:10,562 He has a lot of skill in being able to manipulate people. 529 00:27:13,065 --> 00:27:14,701 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Diane began visiting Yount 530 00:27:14,801 --> 00:27:17,937 at the local jail, and continued to see him even 531 00:27:18,037 --> 00:27:20,506 when he was transferred to Rockview Prison 532 00:27:20,606 --> 00:27:21,841 over two hours away. 533 00:27:24,610 --> 00:27:27,146 WALTER REGEL: Diane came to see Jon Yount every week. 534 00:27:27,246 --> 00:27:28,047 She never missed. 535 00:27:28,147 --> 00:27:29,215 It was regular. 536 00:27:29,315 --> 00:27:31,918 It was just week after week. 537 00:27:32,018 --> 00:27:34,020 She was his girlfriend, definitely. 538 00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:37,423 It was not a casual visit like a brother and sister visiting. 539 00:27:37,523 --> 00:27:40,893 When they started her visit, they would embrace and kiss, 540 00:27:40,993 --> 00:27:42,729 and the same when they left. 541 00:27:42,829 --> 00:27:45,664 Which is really all that's permitted during the visit. 542 00:27:45,765 --> 00:27:46,565 I'm fine. 543 00:27:46,665 --> 00:27:48,768 I'm always fine when I see you. 544 00:27:48,868 --> 00:27:50,102 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Diane Brodbeck 545 00:27:50,202 --> 00:27:51,871 fell in love with Jon Yount. 546 00:27:55,107 --> 00:27:57,143 FAYE SNIDER: I had no idea that they 547 00:27:57,243 --> 00:28:00,146 were romantically involved. 548 00:28:00,246 --> 00:28:04,016 It appeared to me that they were simply very good friends. 549 00:28:04,116 --> 00:28:08,020 She never confided in me if they were romantically involved. 550 00:28:11,690 --> 00:28:13,392 CHESTER BRODBECK: Diane talked about Jon Yount. 551 00:28:13,492 --> 00:28:17,529 I know she was writing him, I know she visited him. 552 00:28:17,629 --> 00:28:19,732 But that's about all. 553 00:28:19,832 --> 00:28:22,301 It was just a little bit, as far as I knew. 554 00:28:25,404 --> 00:28:27,039 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Jon Yount tried repeatedly 555 00:28:27,139 --> 00:28:29,141 to appeal his conviction. 556 00:28:29,241 --> 00:28:32,578 Finally, the United States Supreme Court denied 557 00:28:32,678 --> 00:28:34,080 Yount's request for a retrial. 558 00:28:37,817 --> 00:28:42,254 In February, 1985, Jon Yount wrote Diane again. 559 00:28:42,354 --> 00:28:44,723 JON YOUNT (VOICEOVER): Be my valentine, love. 560 00:28:44,824 --> 00:28:46,058 Forever. 561 00:28:46,158 --> 00:28:48,828 You are my heart. 562 00:28:48,928 --> 00:28:51,998 I hope more than anything that this is the last Valentine 563 00:28:52,098 --> 00:28:53,665 Day that we will spend apart. 564 00:29:03,009 --> 00:29:04,743 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): On April 5, 1986, 565 00:29:04,844 --> 00:29:06,178 Jon Yount escaped. 566 00:29:10,883 --> 00:29:12,584 Yount's excellent behavior had earned 567 00:29:12,684 --> 00:29:14,686 him the right to work unsupervised 568 00:29:14,787 --> 00:29:17,924 outside the prison fence. 569 00:29:18,024 --> 00:29:20,759 JOSEPH MAZURKIEWICZ (VOICEOVER): On the morning of the escape, 570 00:29:20,860 --> 00:29:24,163 Jon was to go out and cut some hay. 571 00:29:24,263 --> 00:29:25,564 Well all you have to do is take this hay 572 00:29:25,664 --> 00:29:27,166 wagon down to the garden barn, and I'll 573 00:29:27,266 --> 00:29:28,434 be back in a little bit. 574 00:29:28,534 --> 00:29:29,568 JOSEPH MAZURKIEWICZ (VOICEOVER): He was told specifically 575 00:29:29,668 --> 00:29:31,603 by the supervisor what he was supposed to do, 576 00:29:31,703 --> 00:29:34,073 took the other men to their particular areas, 577 00:29:34,173 --> 00:29:34,974 and then made his rounds. 578 00:29:39,078 --> 00:29:40,579 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): That was the last time 579 00:29:40,679 --> 00:29:44,350 Jon Yount was ever seen. 580 00:29:44,450 --> 00:29:46,118 I was on the way up over Richel Hill there, 581 00:29:46,218 --> 00:29:49,255 headed for the bowling alley. 582 00:29:49,355 --> 00:29:51,190 And I seen this car come down, and I just 583 00:29:51,290 --> 00:29:53,125 casually looked over, and I thought, 584 00:29:53,225 --> 00:29:54,693 that girl looks familiar. 585 00:29:54,793 --> 00:29:57,629 Looks like Jon Yount's girlfriend. 586 00:29:57,729 --> 00:30:01,433 So I thought to myself, what is she doing on this road? 587 00:30:01,533 --> 00:30:03,035 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): That was the last time 588 00:30:03,135 --> 00:30:06,038 Diane Brodbeck was ever seen. 589 00:30:06,138 --> 00:30:06,939 Mister Brodbeck? 590 00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:08,274 Yes sir. 591 00:30:08,374 --> 00:30:09,909 I'm Sergeant Dugger from the Pennsylvania State Police. 592 00:30:10,009 --> 00:30:11,310 This is Trooper Robert Scutta. 593 00:30:11,410 --> 00:30:12,945 Yes sir. 594 00:30:13,045 --> 00:30:16,215 I'd like to talk to you about Jon Yount and your wife. 595 00:30:16,315 --> 00:30:17,616 Are you familiar with Jon Yount? 596 00:30:17,716 --> 00:30:19,318 CHESTER BRODBECK: When the troopers came to my door 597 00:30:19,418 --> 00:30:23,122 on Sunday, wanting to know where my wife was, 598 00:30:23,222 --> 00:30:26,825 saying that Yount had been broken out 599 00:30:26,926 --> 00:30:29,962 of prison by someone, and they were thinking it was her, 600 00:30:30,062 --> 00:30:32,531 as far as I was concerned, they were completely wrong. 601 00:30:32,631 --> 00:30:34,867 She had nothing to do with it. 602 00:30:34,967 --> 00:30:38,037 I thought that she had gone to Williamsburg, Virginia. 603 00:30:38,137 --> 00:30:41,273 And I believed that until Monday or Tuesday 604 00:30:41,373 --> 00:30:44,076 when she did not return. 605 00:30:44,176 --> 00:30:45,277 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The police 606 00:30:45,377 --> 00:30:48,214 discovered that Diane had a secret bank account, 607 00:30:48,314 --> 00:30:51,017 and had withdrawn $7,500 in the weeks 608 00:30:51,117 --> 00:30:52,751 just before she disappeared. 609 00:30:57,056 --> 00:31:01,293 We discovered that she also placed a car into a use storage 610 00:31:01,393 --> 00:31:04,964 facility, and that car was placed in there within two 611 00:31:05,064 --> 00:31:08,500 weeks prior to the escape. 612 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,736 And we discovered that there was telephone 613 00:31:10,836 --> 00:31:16,308 contact with Jon Yount between she and he at the prison. 614 00:31:16,408 --> 00:31:19,078 The night before the escape, there was a 14 minute 615 00:31:19,178 --> 00:31:21,680 conversation which occurred. 616 00:31:21,780 --> 00:31:24,016 At that point in time, we decided 617 00:31:24,116 --> 00:31:28,320 to file charges against her in assisting Jon Yount. 618 00:31:28,420 --> 00:31:31,890 I do not believe that Diane deliberately helped a convicted 619 00:31:31,991 --> 00:31:33,926 murderer escape from prison. 620 00:31:34,026 --> 00:31:36,028 She was a very moral person, and you 621 00:31:36,128 --> 00:31:38,297 just did not do certain things. 622 00:31:38,397 --> 00:31:41,600 She had a very strong code of ethics. 623 00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:44,836 And certainly, helping a prisoner escape 624 00:31:44,937 --> 00:31:46,405 was not among them. 625 00:31:48,907 --> 00:31:50,209 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): A month 626 00:31:50,309 --> 00:31:54,913 after the escape, Diane's car was found abandoned at a motel 627 00:31:55,014 --> 00:31:57,483 just 20 miles from her home. 628 00:31:57,583 --> 00:31:59,785 A bag was found in the trunk, containing 629 00:31:59,885 --> 00:32:01,720 Diane's personal items. 630 00:32:01,820 --> 00:32:06,492 Jewelry, cosmetics, and over a dozen pairs of underwear. 631 00:32:06,592 --> 00:32:10,329 There is a theory that Jon used Diane 632 00:32:10,429 --> 00:32:11,897 as an instrument of his escape. 633 00:32:15,201 --> 00:32:17,269 He discovers that he's not going to get 634 00:32:17,369 --> 00:32:19,805 out of the prison system. 635 00:32:19,905 --> 00:32:24,510 He has a woman on the outside who can do things for him. 636 00:32:24,610 --> 00:32:28,180 She does them, he then kills her. 637 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,616 He departs from the scene. 638 00:32:30,716 --> 00:32:34,086 He would be gone, free and clear. 639 00:32:34,186 --> 00:32:36,588 The other theory is that she really loved him, 640 00:32:36,688 --> 00:32:38,924 and he really loved her. 641 00:32:39,025 --> 00:32:41,260 That theory is one that I hold. 642 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:42,594 I believe she is with him. 643 00:32:45,864 --> 00:32:49,068 Well, my wife has run off with another man. 644 00:32:49,168 --> 00:32:51,570 For sure, I do not like it, that's for sure. 645 00:32:51,670 --> 00:32:53,605 You know? 646 00:32:53,705 --> 00:32:57,176 We were married for 25 years, and I thought 647 00:32:57,276 --> 00:32:59,011 they were fairly good years. 648 00:32:59,111 --> 00:33:02,681 And as I told many people, she didn't leave just me. 649 00:33:02,781 --> 00:33:05,351 She left the whole family. 650 00:33:05,451 --> 00:33:07,586 I don't think she's alive. 651 00:33:07,686 --> 00:33:09,621 Because I think if she is, she would 652 00:33:09,721 --> 00:33:14,160 contact somebody in the family. 653 00:33:14,260 --> 00:33:18,264 I will never even think that she is dead I know she's alive. 654 00:33:21,067 --> 00:33:26,138 I think of nothing else but my missing daughter. 655 00:33:26,238 --> 00:33:29,108 And I want her back. 656 00:33:29,208 --> 00:33:33,179 Jon Yount murdered a high school girl at one time. 657 00:33:33,279 --> 00:33:38,750 He flew off the handle at that time and could do it again. 658 00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:42,621 I think she should fear for her life. 659 00:33:42,721 --> 00:33:46,958 I think at some point in time, Jon can kill again. 660 00:33:47,059 --> 00:33:48,160 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Update. 661 00:33:48,260 --> 00:33:51,663 John Yount and Diane Brodbeck have been captured. 662 00:33:51,763 --> 00:33:53,899 Two of our viewers in Boise, Idaho 663 00:33:53,999 --> 00:33:58,270 recognized Brodbeck as a former coworker, Kathy Kerman. 664 00:33:58,370 --> 00:34:00,005 When they showed the picture, it was Kathy's face. 665 00:34:00,106 --> 00:34:01,373 Obviously. 666 00:34:01,473 --> 00:34:03,175 And once they said she was a bank manager 667 00:34:03,275 --> 00:34:04,510 and was from Massachusetts, and they 668 00:34:04,610 --> 00:34:07,713 said that Jon's background was in computers, 669 00:34:07,813 --> 00:34:10,749 it was a dead giveaway. 670 00:34:10,849 --> 00:34:12,684 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The Humphreys called the FBI, 671 00:34:12,784 --> 00:34:15,053 and after a month long investigation, 672 00:34:15,154 --> 00:34:18,056 the fugitive couple was arrested at their home. 673 00:34:18,157 --> 00:34:19,525 He seemed a little surprised for a minute, 674 00:34:19,625 --> 00:34:21,127 and then he put his hands up in the area. 675 00:34:21,227 --> 00:34:23,395 He didn't look around or anything, really. 676 00:34:23,495 --> 00:34:24,996 I think he had his eyes on the guy with the gun. 677 00:34:35,407 --> 00:34:37,776 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Next, the mystery of $21 million 678 00:34:37,876 --> 00:34:41,747 in gold and silver buried somewhere in Virginia. 679 00:34:41,847 --> 00:34:44,283 It has eluded treasure hunters for over a century. 680 00:34:47,753 --> 00:34:54,893 [music playing] 681 00:34:54,993 --> 00:34:59,831 (MALE VOICE): I have deposited in the County of Bedford 5,100 682 00:34:59,931 --> 00:35:06,338 pounds of silver and 2,921 pounds of gold, securely 683 00:35:06,438 --> 00:35:09,975 packed in iron pots with iron covers. 684 00:35:10,075 --> 00:35:14,213 No difficulty will be had in finding it. 685 00:35:14,313 --> 00:35:16,682 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): In 1821, Thomas J. Beale 686 00:35:16,782 --> 00:35:19,518 wrote of an enormous fortune he buried in the hills 687 00:35:19,618 --> 00:35:21,720 of Bedford County, Virginia. 688 00:35:21,820 --> 00:35:27,058 According to legend, $21 million in gold, silver, and jewels. 689 00:35:27,159 --> 00:35:29,361 For over 100 years, treasure hunters 690 00:35:29,461 --> 00:35:31,197 have been combing the countryside looking 691 00:35:31,297 --> 00:35:33,532 for Beale's buried hoard. 692 00:35:33,632 --> 00:35:35,667 No one has found it. 693 00:35:35,767 --> 00:35:39,104 The amount of gold and silver that was supposed to have been 694 00:35:39,205 --> 00:35:41,507 deposited, and it was two deposits, 695 00:35:41,607 --> 00:35:45,110 gave me an idea that you'd have to have two wagons or more 696 00:35:45,211 --> 00:35:46,445 to bury it. 697 00:35:46,545 --> 00:35:51,650 These pots-- iron pots-- with silver and gold in them. 698 00:35:51,750 --> 00:35:53,485 In coins. 699 00:35:53,585 --> 00:35:56,288 And I'm excited about getting down to where it's at. 700 00:35:56,388 --> 00:35:58,257 Well, somebody will get lucky. 701 00:35:58,357 --> 00:36:00,626 Somebody will get lucky and find it by mistake, 702 00:36:00,726 --> 00:36:02,761 or they'll find it because they've really searched it out 703 00:36:02,861 --> 00:36:04,363 and know what to do with it. 704 00:36:04,463 --> 00:36:07,098 One way or the other, I think it'll be found. 705 00:36:07,199 --> 00:36:08,467 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The legend 706 00:36:08,567 --> 00:36:12,904 of Beale's fortune begins in the early 1880s in New Mexico. 707 00:36:13,004 --> 00:36:15,541 Thomas Beale and a team of 30 miners 708 00:36:15,641 --> 00:36:18,744 dug up gold and silver worth over $21 million 709 00:36:18,844 --> 00:36:20,946 in today's prices. 710 00:36:21,046 --> 00:36:25,116 They brought the treasure to Virginia where Beale buried it. 711 00:36:25,217 --> 00:36:28,687 He left written instructions to the location of his fortune, 712 00:36:28,787 --> 00:36:32,458 in the form of three secret codes, or ciphers. 713 00:36:32,558 --> 00:36:37,996 Then he went back to New Mexico and disappeared. 714 00:36:38,096 --> 00:36:41,267 In 1869, a wealthy Virginian solved 715 00:36:41,367 --> 00:36:44,736 one of the three ciphers using the Declaration of Independence 716 00:36:44,836 --> 00:36:46,137 as the key. 717 00:36:46,238 --> 00:36:48,106 He numbered the first letter of every word 718 00:36:48,206 --> 00:36:50,041 in the Declaration of Independence. 719 00:36:50,141 --> 00:36:52,177 Then for each number in the cipher, 720 00:36:52,278 --> 00:36:54,946 he substituted the corresponding letter. 721 00:36:55,046 --> 00:36:57,583 Decoded, the message read-- 722 00:36:57,683 --> 00:37:00,018 (MALE VOICE): I have deposited in the County of Bedford 723 00:37:00,118 --> 00:37:03,221 in an excavation or vault six feet 724 00:37:03,322 --> 00:37:09,695 below the surface of the ground, 5,100 pounds of silver 725 00:37:09,795 --> 00:37:11,563 and 2,921-- 726 00:37:11,663 --> 00:37:12,698 ROBERT STACK: Beale then describes 727 00:37:12,798 --> 00:37:15,801 the treasure in detail. 728 00:37:15,901 --> 00:37:17,969 For over 100 years, the other two 729 00:37:18,069 --> 00:37:20,406 ciphers have remained unsolved. 730 00:37:20,506 --> 00:37:23,108 One lists Thomas Beale's associates and heirs. 731 00:37:23,208 --> 00:37:28,280 And this one pinpoints the exact location of the treasure. 732 00:37:28,380 --> 00:37:30,982 Whoever decodes it may find Beale's fortunes, 733 00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:36,054 stored in a secret vault roughly the size of two Rolls Royce's. 734 00:37:36,154 --> 00:37:38,457 In this next mystery, we'll join several treasure 735 00:37:38,557 --> 00:37:42,728 hunters, some of whom say they have broken the cipher. 736 00:37:42,828 --> 00:37:44,563 They are convinced that sooner or later, 737 00:37:44,663 --> 00:37:48,867 someone will strike it rich. 738 00:37:48,967 --> 00:37:51,169 Two brothers, Eddie and Joe Toney, 739 00:37:51,269 --> 00:37:52,904 and their father-in-law Earl Boggs, 740 00:37:53,004 --> 00:37:56,308 have spent nine years searching for the treasure. 741 00:37:56,408 --> 00:37:58,176 They say they have broken the cipher, 742 00:37:58,276 --> 00:38:01,580 and that the message tells of five geographical points where 743 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:06,785 167 years ago, Thomas Beale left the clues which one by one 744 00:38:06,885 --> 00:38:10,322 would lead to his fortune. 745 00:38:10,422 --> 00:38:11,957 The Toney brothers are currently looking 746 00:38:12,057 --> 00:38:15,093 for the fifth and final point, which is the clue that 747 00:38:15,193 --> 00:38:17,396 will lead them to the vault. 748 00:38:17,496 --> 00:38:19,230 EDDIE TONEY: We only have one more point to go, 749 00:38:19,331 --> 00:38:22,000 and we've verified, each place we 750 00:38:22,100 --> 00:38:25,203 found something that he left. 751 00:38:25,303 --> 00:38:30,342 And degrees and the footage and paces came out exactly. 752 00:38:30,442 --> 00:38:32,778 If we can't find this fifth point after finding four, 753 00:38:32,878 --> 00:38:34,880 there's something bad wrong. 754 00:38:34,980 --> 00:38:36,682 I'm confident that we'll find it. 755 00:38:46,124 --> 00:38:47,993 [beeping] 756 00:38:48,093 --> 00:38:49,461 We got something! 757 00:38:59,871 --> 00:39:01,473 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The Toney brothers 758 00:39:01,573 --> 00:39:04,543 believe this 19th century carriage rod is 759 00:39:04,643 --> 00:39:06,311 the fifth clue in their search. 760 00:39:06,412 --> 00:39:07,846 They think that it was purposefully 761 00:39:07,946 --> 00:39:12,418 buried by Beale, pointing in the direction of his secret vault. 762 00:39:12,518 --> 00:39:15,421 EDDIE TONEY: We know what the last degree is to go. 763 00:39:15,521 --> 00:39:20,091 I'm a little shaky right now on account of it 764 00:39:20,191 --> 00:39:24,496 because I know there's not enough time today to go do it. 765 00:39:24,596 --> 00:39:27,566 Well, when the metal detector went off, I got excited. 766 00:39:27,666 --> 00:39:31,703 And it's hard to explain how excited you do get. 767 00:39:31,803 --> 00:39:36,842 And you imagine the gold down in there behind them rocks. 768 00:39:36,942 --> 00:39:41,379 And my heart felt like it come up in my throat. 769 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:42,681 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Meanwhile, 770 00:39:42,781 --> 00:39:45,316 miles away in a completely different section of Bedford 771 00:39:45,417 --> 00:39:47,819 County, Wilbur Swift from Garden Grove, 772 00:39:47,919 --> 00:39:50,589 California is also searching. 773 00:39:50,689 --> 00:39:53,892 He believes that he too has broken the cipher, 774 00:39:53,992 --> 00:39:57,362 and has spent the last year and $20,000 trying 775 00:39:57,463 --> 00:39:59,565 to find the Beale treasure. 776 00:39:59,665 --> 00:40:02,267 WILBER SWIFT: I'm a computer programmer, to start with. 777 00:40:02,367 --> 00:40:05,070 So in my own personal computer, I decided 778 00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,472 to try to decipher this. 779 00:40:06,572 --> 00:40:09,975 In about eight months time, I was able to break the code. 780 00:40:10,075 --> 00:40:14,012 And it told me about a specific type of rock 781 00:40:14,112 --> 00:40:15,847 that I was looking for. 782 00:40:15,947 --> 00:40:19,350 And I happened to locate that specific type of rock, 783 00:40:19,451 --> 00:40:23,154 and there it is, right there. 784 00:40:23,254 --> 00:40:28,159 It has a face on it, and it has a head on it. 785 00:40:28,259 --> 00:40:32,898 This is what the deciphered code told me to look for. 786 00:40:32,998 --> 00:40:34,566 And then I said, OK. 787 00:40:34,666 --> 00:40:36,401 The treasure has to be underneath it, 788 00:40:36,502 --> 00:40:38,770 because it said that's where it was supposed to be. 789 00:40:42,608 --> 00:40:43,775 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Wilbur hired 790 00:40:43,875 --> 00:40:46,411 a local contractor, Ken Dooley, to help 791 00:40:46,512 --> 00:40:49,214 him excavate under the rock. 792 00:40:49,314 --> 00:40:51,249 KEN DOOLEY: I have lived in Bedford County all of my life. 793 00:40:51,349 --> 00:40:55,787 And over the past 25 years, I have dug for this treasure 794 00:40:55,887 --> 00:40:59,825 up here for about 20, 25 people. 795 00:40:59,925 --> 00:41:01,993 Most of them knew exactly where it was, 796 00:41:02,093 --> 00:41:03,929 and when talking to them, they would 797 00:41:04,029 --> 00:41:07,866 be so uptight they just couldn't hardly breathe, really. 798 00:41:07,966 --> 00:41:10,235 And when you start digging for them, 799 00:41:10,335 --> 00:41:12,504 they were always just two feet away from it. 800 00:41:12,604 --> 00:41:13,839 I don't care how deep in the ground 801 00:41:13,939 --> 00:41:17,776 you went, still, it was two feet deep that what you dug. 802 00:41:20,579 --> 00:41:23,414 WILBER SWIFT: The target was premeasured at 26 feet, 803 00:41:23,515 --> 00:41:26,351 and we're down right now at about 24 feet. 804 00:41:26,451 --> 00:41:30,856 So we don't have too much further to go. 805 00:41:30,956 --> 00:41:32,891 Now that we've found the rock-- and we've 806 00:41:32,991 --> 00:41:35,961 done some extensive testing, by the way-- 807 00:41:36,061 --> 00:41:38,063 and we're sure that we're getting 808 00:41:38,163 --> 00:41:40,231 the treasure out of there. 809 00:41:40,331 --> 00:41:42,968 I've been a native here for 50 years. 810 00:41:43,068 --> 00:41:45,436 Born and raised here. 811 00:41:45,537 --> 00:41:48,039 They have searched and searched, and I haven't seen anybody 812 00:41:48,139 --> 00:41:49,440 come up with anything yet. 813 00:41:49,541 --> 00:41:50,842 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Bedford County's 814 00:41:50,942 --> 00:41:54,212 local residents have seen diggers come and diggers go, 815 00:41:54,312 --> 00:41:55,446 empty handed. 816 00:41:55,547 --> 00:41:58,984 They're not convinced there really is a treasure. 817 00:41:59,084 --> 00:42:00,752 It may be here. 818 00:42:00,852 --> 00:42:03,288 I may be sitting on it. 819 00:42:03,388 --> 00:42:04,723 I've got some land in Thaxton over there. 820 00:42:04,823 --> 00:42:07,158 It may be on my spread. 821 00:42:07,258 --> 00:42:08,059 I don't know. 822 00:42:08,159 --> 00:42:09,327 I hope it is. 823 00:42:09,427 --> 00:42:11,563 I say, I think it's an outside possibility it might be 824 00:42:11,663 --> 00:42:14,165 a treasure somewhere yet, but I don't 825 00:42:14,265 --> 00:42:16,334 think I believe enough in it to go up and start digging. 826 00:42:16,434 --> 00:42:17,603 Dig 827 00:42:17,703 --> 00:42:21,539 They think they can break that code, maybe they can. 828 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,575 I hope them good luck. 829 00:42:23,675 --> 00:42:26,277 But personally, I just don't believe it's here. 830 00:42:26,377 --> 00:42:27,178 How are we doing, Carl? 831 00:42:27,278 --> 00:42:28,580 Oh, we are doing very well. 832 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,481 I'm down to the 19th line. 833 00:42:30,582 --> 00:42:32,751 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Could the Beale ciphers be a hoax? 834 00:42:32,851 --> 00:42:35,453 A computer pioneer, Dr. Carl Hammer, 835 00:42:35,553 --> 00:42:37,255 has spent 30 years studying Beale's 836 00:42:37,355 --> 00:42:42,060 numbers to determine if there truly is a coded message. 837 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,195 As part of his investigation, he attempted 838 00:42:44,295 --> 00:42:46,732 to recreate the conditions under which Beale wrote 839 00:42:46,832 --> 00:42:50,802 the cipher in his computer lab. 840 00:42:50,902 --> 00:42:53,839 CARL HAMMER: My aim was to find out whether the ciphers are 841 00:42:53,939 --> 00:42:56,141 real or whether they're a hoax. 842 00:42:56,241 --> 00:42:57,876 Hoax means these are random numbers. 843 00:42:57,976 --> 00:42:59,410 They're doodles. 844 00:42:59,510 --> 00:43:02,313 And so I started to analyze those numbers. 845 00:43:02,413 --> 00:43:04,716 And I discovered that there were some very 846 00:43:04,816 --> 00:43:06,017 distinguishable patterns. 847 00:43:06,117 --> 00:43:09,120 And they were, in fact, not random numbers. 848 00:43:09,220 --> 00:43:10,656 They were not doodles. 849 00:43:10,756 --> 00:43:12,590 But they contained information. 850 00:43:12,691 --> 00:43:14,993 We don't know what the information is, 851 00:43:15,093 --> 00:43:19,030 but there are legitimate set of cryptographic numbers. 852 00:43:19,130 --> 00:43:21,800 And that is all that is known to this date. 853 00:43:24,936 --> 00:43:26,772 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Even though he has lost his job 854 00:43:26,872 --> 00:43:29,574 and is now living in a nearby motel room, 855 00:43:29,675 --> 00:43:31,843 Wilbur Swift is still digging at the bottom 856 00:43:31,943 --> 00:43:34,713 of his 25 foot shaft. 857 00:43:34,813 --> 00:43:37,582 So far, he has found nothing. 858 00:43:37,683 --> 00:43:39,584 WILBER SWIFT: My life is back in California, 859 00:43:39,685 --> 00:43:42,087 and some of the neighbors say, hey, where's Wilbur? 860 00:43:42,187 --> 00:43:46,357 And I don't think any of them take it serious. 861 00:43:46,457 --> 00:43:50,495 Well, he who laughs last laughs best. 862 00:43:50,595 --> 00:43:52,664 And I believe that one of the days, 863 00:43:52,764 --> 00:43:53,965 I might get the last laugh. 864 00:43:56,234 --> 00:43:57,869 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The Toney brothers believe 865 00:43:57,969 --> 00:43:59,871 they will have the last laugh. 866 00:43:59,971 --> 00:44:01,673 They still haven't found the treasure, 867 00:44:01,773 --> 00:44:05,610 but they do believe they have located the final clue. 868 00:44:05,711 --> 00:44:08,213 While we were filming, they had to return home 869 00:44:08,313 --> 00:44:10,015 after running out of money. 870 00:44:10,115 --> 00:44:11,850 But they will be back. 871 00:44:11,950 --> 00:44:13,318 EDDIE TONEY: The facts that we've got, 872 00:44:13,418 --> 00:44:14,986 I know it's not a hoax. 873 00:44:15,086 --> 00:44:17,222 I'm convinced that it's not. 874 00:44:17,322 --> 00:44:20,225 It's been there 160 some years, supposedly, 875 00:44:20,325 --> 00:44:24,262 and it's going to be there until it's found. 876 00:44:24,362 --> 00:44:26,064 ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): In spite of all the computer 877 00:44:26,164 --> 00:44:29,534 programs, historical research, digging, and searching, 878 00:44:29,634 --> 00:44:33,304 Thomas Beale's secret vault, if it exists, remains intact. 879 00:44:36,875 --> 00:44:38,576 The residents of Bedford County 880 00:44:38,676 --> 00:44:41,880 played host to treasure seekers for nearly a century, 881 00:44:41,980 --> 00:44:43,815 and have asked us to remind everyone 882 00:44:43,915 --> 00:44:48,253 that unauthorized digging is against the law. 883 00:44:48,353 --> 00:44:54,625 [music playing] 884 00:44:54,726 --> 00:44:56,862 Tonight, we've examined four mysteries. 885 00:44:56,962 --> 00:44:59,530 And at the heart of each is a secret. 886 00:44:59,630 --> 00:45:03,034 A secret kept hidden by amnesia, by a con game, 887 00:45:03,134 --> 00:45:06,171 by a prison escape, and by a code. 888 00:45:06,271 --> 00:45:09,474 Perhaps someone, somewhere, can unlock these secrets. 889 00:45:09,574 --> 00:45:11,810 Perhaps that someone is watching. 890 00:45:11,910 --> 00:45:13,444 Perhaps it's you. 891 00:45:13,544 --> 00:45:18,016 [music playing]
