NARRATOR: This program is about unsolved mysteries.

Whenever possible, the actual family members

and police officials have participated

in recreating the events.

What you are about to see is not a news broadcast.

ROBERT STACK: March 1990.

NATO tracking stations in Belgium

pick up a strange, unidentified aircraft on radar.

The Belgian Air Force deploys two fighter jets

to intercept the intruder only to have it dart out-of-range

and disappear at supersonic speed.

It is the most dramatic of thousands of recent UFO

sightings in Belgium.

In the late 1960s, Rock Creek, Ohio

was besieged by a wild gang of street toughs.

Robert Hamrick took charge of the police force.

He was determined to run the gang out of town.

Six months later, Hamrick was killed

in a suspicious car accident

Philip Breen was a successful businessman

with a remarkable knack for making money

and for taking money.

In 1990, he vanished after defrauding his employer out

of millions of dollars and leaving his unsuspecting wife

to pay the debt.

Also, a woman's search for her long lost mother

has finally ended thanks to our viewers.

Join me for the heartwarming reunion on Unsolved Mysteries.

[theme music]

Brussels, Belgium is known as the capital

of capitals-- an ancient city of charm and elegance.

It would seem unlikely that old world

Brussels would be the focal point of a very

contemporary controversy.

Since the fall of 1989, several thousand people

from all walks of life have reported that Belgium is

being invaded from the skies.

Basically, what we saw was this big triangular

object with three bright white lights in the corners.

And it was immobile above the motorway.

In the middle was a flashing red light.

It passed by approaching the roofs

since it was flying so low.

You could see three white lights which

formed an equilateral triangle.

ROBERT STACK: What exactly is it that thousands of people

had been seeing in the night sky over Belgium?

These drawings were generated from the testimony

of hundreds of eyewitnesses.

Almost without fail, they describe an immense triangular

object with bright lights at the corners

and another light in the center.

Then on July 11th, 1991, an extraordinary press conference

was held.

High ranking members of the Belgian military

briefed the media on a UFO with Air Force jets that attempted

to chase down and remarkably, had recorded

on their radar screens.

Tonight, we will show you the evidence

presented at that conference for the first time

on American television.

UFO sightings here in the United States

have traditionally been met with skepticism.

In most cases, justified by government

and military officials.

The reports have elicited either denials or in most

cases, a simple, "no comment".

What you are about to see is a first.

This story was filmed with a complete cooperation

of the Belgian Air Force and the gendarmerie, a national law

enforcement agency.

Belgium lies on the southeast edge of the North

Sea bordered by Germany, France, Luxembourg,

and the Netherlands.

The mystery of the Belgian UFOs began on the night

of November 29th, 1989, just outside of the small town

of Eupen--

less than seven miles from the German border.

Jean Demes Heinrich Nicoll and Euber Von Montige

were on a routine patrol.

As we approach the crossroads, our attention

was drawn to an unusual sight.

We saw a field near the road that was all lit up.

It looks like lights on a huge football field.

We thought it was strange and we wanted to know

what was causing those lights.

So we pulled over to the side of the road.

There was a huge triangular platform

and underneath it, the strong headlights.

In the middle was this blinking, pulsating orange light.

The whole thing was floating in the air.

ROBERT STACK: Nicoll and Von Montige

immediately called the dispatcher

in Eupen, Albert Creutz.

Suddenly, they told me they were seeing

a strange object in the sky.

It made no noise.

We joked about it and said it might

be Santa Claus trying to land.

ROBERT STACK: Creutz noted the unusual report in his log

but remained skeptical.

The gendarmes follow the unknown object

as they soared across the Belgian countryside

toward Eupen.

HEINRICH NICOLL: We could see it clearly because the headlights

were very strong.

We could also see the flickering orange ball underneath.

We were driving very slowly because it seemed like there

was someone in that object, and that someone

was trying to observe what was happening on earth.

ROBERT STACK: Moments later, a strange light

flashed across the window of Creutz's office in Eupen.

Off in the distance, I could see something bright,

but I didn't know what it was.

Suddenly, I saw something that looked

like a laser beam shoot out of the light

and then come back to the light.

We continued to observe the object as it

circled over the city of Eupen.

It appeared to be heading toward the forest.

ROBERT STACK: Jean Demes Heinrich Nicoll and his partner

were mesmerized.

They began to suspect that this visitor

had some special purpose.

Number

On each side of the object, there was a kind of laser beam

and a ball that was leaving the object

and coming back as if the ball were

trying to measure something.

So it was easy for us to keep track of in the sky.

ROBERT STACK: When Nicoll next called into dispatch,

Creutz reported that he had contacted four local airports.

Each had reported no unusual activity in the skies.

ROBERT STACK: For a full 30 minutes,

the gendarmes watched in awe as the object

hovered in the distance.

Then the remarkable episode took another unexpected turn.

All of a sudden, it came out of nowhere--

another spacecraft.

We were a little frightened.

The one we had been following was still over there,

and now a second one was rising up into the sky.

At a given moment, it tilted slightly.

We could see, again, the shape of a triangle

with bright headlights and one in the middle.

It Was exactly like the first object.

We could see some kind of dome on the top with two

or three small windows, and there

was a light inside the object.

By the time we realized what it was, the object flew away.

ROBERT STACK: Moments later, whatever doubts dispatcher

Creutz still had evaporated.

Through the open window, I saw a strange machine floating

about 500 feet away from me.

It looked like a large ship floating in the air.

It drifted in front of me for a few seconds then

flew away in the direction of La Calamine.

It was a beautiful thing to see.

ROBERT STACK: Six minutes later, two other gendarmes

encountered a similar object in the small village

of La Calamine-- eight miles to the north.

We had heard our colleagues talking

about this flying object.

In the beginning, we thought it was some sort of joke,

but then, we saw something.

It wasn't funny anymore.

Both of us had a strange feeling.

It was impossible to explain what the object was.

We thought it was in American airplane or something.

We had no other explanation for what it might be,

but it was real.

And it was above us.

Then another object was leaving the main object.

It was a red light pulsating and descending

vertically from the object.

It turned to the right side and moved off behind the building.

ROBERT STACK: According to Gendarmes Plumanns

and his colleague, the episode culminated

with a stunning climax.

The craft seemed to transform into a single beam of light

then it disappeared.

All four of these extraordinary sightings

occurred within 20 miles in one hour of each other.

That same day, 11 other gendarmes

and more than 100 private citizens

came forward with similar reports.

Suddenly, Belgium was buzzing the talk of UFOs.

That remarkable evening in 1989 was just

the beginning of an incredible wave of sightings

which continues to this day.

It may seem unbelievable, but when we return,

we'll present startling evidence of the first acknowledged

military tracking of a UFO--

a video radar recording provided by the Belgian Air

Force which has never been seen before by the American public.

On November 29th, 1989, gendarmes in Belgium

reported sightings of an unidentified flying object.

Over the next few months, hundreds of witnesses

would come forward.

All describing a similar triangular object.

Then, in April of 1990, this extraordinary photograph

was taken.

It shows the same array of lights which was

described by the eyewitnesses.

By using a computer to enhance the film's contrast,

the triangular shape becomes clearly visible.

That remarkable image is currently being analyzed

by scientists in Belgium.

It offered what many believe is the first photographic evidence

that UFOs are frequenting the Belgian sky.

In the last two years, Belgian authorities have been deluged

by thousands of sightings.

The difficult task of deciphering and coordinating

the reports has been undertaken by

a privately-funded organization of scientists

and citizens known as SOBEPS.

Working hand in hand with the Belgian military

and the gendarmerie, SOBEPS opened

lines of communication and set procedures

anticipating future encounters.

They did not have to wait very long.

In March of 1990, the next wave of Belgian UFO sightings began.

Captain Jacques Pinson the gendarmerie, was called

to a residence outside of Brussels

when dinner guests reported a series of strange lights

in the sky,

Its points of light we're very different than the other stars.

They were much bigger and much brighter

and not the color of stars.

The main colors were reddish or yellow,

and the others were green.

Later, they began to travel short distances

in an erratic manner.

ROBERT STACK: 30 Miles away at a NATO tracking station,

radar had detected an unknown object

at the exact location the dinner guest

had reported seeing lights.

It showed up as a small circle with a tail in the lower left

quadrant of the radar screen.

We phoned to other civilian and military radar sites like

Semmerzake, Bertem, Saint-Hubert,

and they had precisely the same echo in the same place.

We were unable to identify this echo as being

either enemy, either friendly.

It was not very clear for us that it was an aircraft.

ROBERT STACK: With confirmations from four

different radar stations, the Belgian Air Force

was now on alert.

Something very unusual was in the skies over Belgium.

ROBERT STACK: Two F-16s from the Belgian Air Force

were immediately deployed.

Their mission, to locate and identify the object.

The pilots gave chase as soon locked onto the object

with on-board radar.

But after just five seconds, the object bolted out

of range at a blistering speed.

We measured some exceptional accelerations

which cannot be related to conventional aircraft.

That is clear.

ROBERT STACK: For the next hour, the pilots

reported that the object seemed to be playing a high-tech game

of cat and mouse.

Each time they achieved lock-on, the object darted out of range.

The pilots confirmed that it was

impossible for them to accelerate as quick

as the target was doing.

ROBERT STACK: An examination of the onboard radar footage

astonished the military.

This is a portion of the actual footage recorded that evening.

The UFO appears in the center of the screen as a diamond shape.

The figure in the upper right hand corner

indicates the altitude of the object in thousands of feet.

When the pilots first locked on, the object which at 7,000 feet,

but within seconds, it had climbed to 10,000 feet.

Then incredibly, the object plummeted to just 500 feet

in the span of only five seconds.

At the same time, the object accelerated to 990 knots,

more than 1,000 miles per hour or 1 and 1/2

times the speed of sound.

This fantastic combination of acceleration and descent

would have been fatal to a human pilot.

And there is yet one additional oddity.

Even though the craft exceeded the speed of sound,

remarkably, no one on the ground ever

reported hearing a sonic boom.

The data done on all these performances

which you are registered during the lock-on of the radar.

It was totally outside of the normal performance

envelope of any airplane.

ROBERT STACK: Despite the fact that the UFOs

have been observed by thousands of witnesses.

And despite the fact that one unknown t

is easily evaded, sophisticated, high tech fighter jets.

Skeptics continue to dismiss the science as nothing

more than mass UFO hysteria.

They believe that the radar reports

can be attributed to false echos or changes

in atmospheric conditions.

Some people don't believe us and the things we have seen.

Well, they are free not to believe us.

It doesn't matter to me, but I have seen something

and what else can I say?

It was not some invention of my mind.

I saw it, and it was very real.

And it happened just as I have said.

I got out of the car and hovering over us

was a big black triangle.

It was very dark.

The triangle had large light on top of it,

and the lights circled around while the triangle

remained suspended in the air.

There have been thousands of observations in Belgium,

and I think it's our job to try to find out if there is really

something in the air, where it comes from, what the origin is,

and what the intentions are.

Indeed, there is something going on in Belgium

which is beyond our control.

ROBERT STACK: There is one curious fact

which bears mentioning.

Despite thousands of sightings in Belgium,

there have been just a handful of UFOs reported

in the neighboring countries of France,

Germany, and the Netherlands.

For skeptics, this is additional proof that the sightings

are nothing more than fantasy.

However, some people speculate that the objects

may be attracted to Belgium's highway system, which

is so brightly lit at night that it was visible even

to the astronauts on the moon

On September 26th, 1991, an emotional, joyous reunion

took place in Temple Hills, Maryland.

Thanks to our viewers, Mary Maxwell and Carla Downing

came together as mother and daughter for the first time.

It all began in 1965 when Carla was 16 years old.

Shortly after her mother's death,

she met a mysterious woman at her grandparents' house.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Carla, this is Mary.

Mary was a friend of your mom's in high school.

Hi, you look very familiar.

ROBERT STACK: At the time, Carla had no idea

who the woman really was.

Carla Downing had grown up in a happy close-knit family,

but shortly after her brother was born,

she began to feel that she somehow did not fit in.

The whole time I was growing up,

I always knew that there was just something not right.

Mainly because of the difference between my brother and I.

He had blue eyes and blond hair, and it was curly.

I had straight dark hair, dark eyes, olive complexion.

You know, it was just obvious--

to me even-- that we just weren't like.

ROBERT STACK: Not until her father's death in 1990

did Carla's tangled family history

finally began to unravel.

In her father's brief case, she would

come across documents which unveiled

a startling family secret.

The father and mother who raised her

where not her natural parents.

Carla learned that in 1948, her mother

Mildred met a recent immigrant from Belgium named Mary.

Mary was all alone and pregnant.

She knew that she would be unable to care for her baby.

The two women concocted a scheme to switch

ID cards in the hospital.

In doing so, Mildred would be listed on the birth

certificate as Carla's mother.

I just had this need to find Mary.

I want to be in the same room with someone I resemble.

I want my mother.

I want somebody that I've been looking for for a long time.

On the right of our broadcast, Carla Downing's prayers

are finally answered.

Her natural mother, Mary Maxwell,

was very much alive and very anxious to see her daughter.

Carla was also overjoyed to discover

she had two half-sisters.

Eight days later, Carla traveled from her home in Tennessee

to Maryland where she was finally

reunited with her mother.

I knew it was her.

I couldn't believe it, and all I could say

is, "Carla, oh, Carla."

And I ran out the door, and she ran--

almost fell out of the car, I think.

We couldn't do nothing else but hold each other and cry.

When I saw her for the first time,

I just can't describe that feeling.

It's home at last.

I can breathe again.

It's just the happiest moment in my whole life,

just the happiest moment in my whole life.

This is your grandfather father, and your grandmother and this

is your grandfather and grandmother

when they got married.

It's like a miracle.

I couldn't believe it.

I couldn't believe it for the longest time.

I says, "This is not happening to us.

It only happens to other people that they

find somebody their looking for-- not us,

but it'll happen to us.

When I found out that my mom was alive, and healthy,

and OK, that was just the best news in the world.

Then, the extra bonus was I have two sisters and a nephew.

So it is it's a happy ending.

It's a fairy tale come true.

ROBERT STACK: Next, a small town cop

who stood up to a gang of thugs harassing his community

and then died under usual circumstances.

In the late 1960s, a group of young men

began terrorizing tiny Rock Creek, Ohio.

Once quiet and peaceful, Rock Creek became a community

held hostage by fear.

They were involved in fights.

They were involved in threats.

They pretty much had the entire village under their thumb.

When they spoke, the village, pretty much, listened.

ROBERT STACK: At the time, the town relied on the Ashtabula

County Sheriff's Department for protection,

but with limited resources, the department

seemed unable to stem the crime wave engulfing Rock Creek.

The town's people decided to fight back.

They organized their own police department.

In July 1969, Robert Hamrick became the third man

in less than six months to take charge of Rock

Creek's police department.

His predecessors both left after allegedly receiving threats

from members of the Rock Creek gang,

but Robert Hamrick was confident that he

could clean up the town.

He'd try to do the best job that he knew how to do.

He wanted it to be a nice, friendly town,

and he wanted to get this gang off the streets

so that people wouldn't have to be afraid of them.

ROBERT STACK: Almost immediately,

Chief Hamrick and his family became

the targets of a systematic campaign of harassment.

MYRTLE HAMRICK: They just did anything

that they could to aggravate him when they knew he was home,

and you know, he did get fed up--

take off out there after them.

And then at least it would quiet down there by the house.

ROBERT STACK: Five months after he was sworn in,

Chief Hamrick investigated an abandoned

building on the edge of town.

Inside, he found an expensive sports car.

A check of the license plate revealed

that the car was stolen.

We came across it, found it, fingerprinted it,

and we bugged the building because we

didn't know who was there.

And we put a bug in the building,

put a radio on our car, and just drove around

and listened until the guys come back.

Bob was hiding in the office, and when they showed up,

We jumped out and busted them.

The suspects were believed to be members of the Rock Creek gang.

They were arrested and released on bail.

MYRTLE HAMRICK: Shortly after these guys was arrested

for the stolen car is when threats came in

on the telephone, and I don't really know how many threats

came in because if he was home, most the time,

he answered the phone.

But this one day, I was in the kitchen and the phone rang.

It was a man on the other end, and he said, tell your husband

to leave things alone and get him out of town

or he's going to be hurt, and he's going to be hurt bad.

ROBERT STACK: One month later, on March 10th, 1970,

during a routine patrol, the Chief Hamrick notified

the Sheriff's dispatcher that he was in pursuit of a car heading

west out of town.

An hour and a half passed with no further radio contact.

Finally, at around 3:00 AM, the dispatcher

requested the Sheriff's deputies try

and locate the missing chief.

He had a high-speed chase going west

on Calender Road from Route 45.

ROBERT STACK: Four hours later, Sheriff's deputy,

Denny Chapman, discovered Hamrick's patrol car

on an isolated road just outside of town.

The car had collided with a tree.

Hamrick was semi-conscious barely alive.

He had head and facial injuries.

Probably the right side or left side both.

I was surprised to find him I moving when I got there.

My next thing was to keep him from moving so that he wouldn't

do further injury to himself.

ROBERT STACK: From the onset, the investigating deputy

suspected foul play.

They found blood covering the back seat.

Hamrick's service revolver and night stick were missing.

In fact, nothing at the scene seemed

consistent with an accident.

The ignition has been turned off, so has the lights.

The patrol car's ignition and light

switches where in the off position,

but why would Hamrick, who was barely conscious,

turned off the engine and headlights

but not radio for help.

Robert Hamrick never regained consciousness.

10 days later, he died.

Despite compelling evidence to the contrary,

Hamrick's death was officially ruled an accident.

I didn't believe then, and I still don't believe to this day

that all the injuries that Bob received

was a result of that car accident.

I believe my husband's death was not a car accident,

and that he was beaten to death, and that it was covered up.

There's so many questions, and there is evidence,

and people just have ignored that evidence

and they've ignored the circumstances at the time.

And what was going on in the village at the time?

Six hours after the crash, the car

that Hamrick had been chasing was

found at a local gas station.

It was splattered with mud and had damaged tire.

The owner stated that she had taken the car in for repairs

the previous day.

one of the station employees was known to be a member

of the Rock Creek gang.

Were you driving this car last night?

No.

The owner told us, when she dropped the car off,

the car was in very clean condition.

There was no flat tires on the car when she dropped it off.

In fact, I think she was a little surprised that they

had to keep it overnight.

Knowing that he hung around the Rock Creek area.

I had trouble with him in the past

from answering calls down in the Rock Creek area.

I felt that he was directly involved.

ROBERT STACK: One local woman claims

that she overheard members of the Rock Creek gang bragging

that they had murdered Chief Hamrick.

They were saying, we killed us a cop, and we got away with it.

And they proceeded to tell how they killed him--

how they beat him in the head.

They had it all planned.

They set him up-- get him down here on the road,

and they took his billy club and they

started hitting him with it.

[fighting]

They put him back into his car, and then they left him there--

left him to die.

They said, we'll never get caught, and I knew in my heart,

I knew they were right.

They would never get caught.

They were above the law.

I've been checking into it for 20 years constantly,

and if somebody actually hurt that man, more than likely,

I know them.

Probably call him a friend, and I

would hate to think that somebody that I knew

and somebody that I call a friend would leave a man

in the condition he was in.

There's no way my father's death could have been

an accident because I have read the files,

and there's enough material in there to point to other things.

And I just can't believe it.

I just hope that we find out what actually happened,

and if by some miracle we find out

who is responsible that they pay for what they did.

They took my father from me, and they've

lived a life thinking that they got away

with it for over 20 years now.

And I think it's time that they got something taken from them.

The case of Robert Hamrick has been officially

closed for more than 20 years.

However, authorities are prepared to reopen

the investigation should any new evidence come to light.

Next, authorities need your help to find

a businessman accused of embezzling millions of dollars.

Every year in the United States, thousands

of adult men and women seemingly vanish without a trace.

Sadly, in many cases, a missing person

is a victim of foul play.

However, there are those who engineer

their own disappearances leaving family

and friends to wonder not only were they are

but what happened.

Philip and Kathleen Breen were married in Detroit, Michigan

in the spring of 1988.

Philip was a dashing high-powered

corporate executive.

Kathleen, a young, successful businesswoman.

Together, they enjoyed the good life complete with a vast array

of expensive grown-up toys.

Apparently, paid for by Philip's investments

in the stock market.

For Katherine, the marriage was a dream come true.

There were a lot of things that

were really great about him.

I think it was his sense of humor

was one thing that I thought was really great,

and we were crazy about each other.

I mean, I really loved this person,

and I believe that he really loved me.

And I believed that I could trust him.

ROBERT STACK: Philip was the president

of a highly successful Detroit mortgage company.

His position gave him the authority to purchase mortgages

for the company to service.

He always came across as a happy-go-lucky guy--

a wizard in the stock market.

He was always coming and saying I made a great killing today.

I made a hundred grand. I made this.

I bought these options.

I sold these options.

You just thought, this person had a certain knack

that nobody else had.

ROBERT STACK: Philip Breen was also generous.

When a friend's business hit hard times,

Philip loaned him $100,000.

No problem, you can pick up a check tomorrow.

He wrote me a check with no questions asked.

He never came off as the big wheeler dealer.

He came off as a kind and good person

and wanting to share what he had with other people.

He certainly shared it with me.

ROBERT STACK: In the spring of 1989,

Breen purchased the Orlando Juice

baseball team for $700,000.

The team was one of eight franchises

in the newly formed Senior Professional

Baseball Association--

a league built around retired big-name ballplayers.

The venture was risky, and Breen's work

at the mortgage company soon took a back seat to his role

as a team owner.

It seemed like it was something

that he really wanted to do.

It was important to him, but in a lot of ways,

I didn't like it because I thought

that it put an awful lot of pressure on him.

And it seemed like he was just, at that point,

running himself into the ground, and it didn't make sense to me.

I don't see what your problem is with this.

Why don't we just get out of the house for a while--

I told you, I've got some calls I've got to make.

Phil, this is our vacation, you

haven't done one thing with me.

So why don't you go do it?

ROBERT STACK: By year's end, the enterprise

seemed doomed to failure.

Philip's investment and ballooned

to more than two million dollars,

and he'd begun drinking heavily.

During a two-week vacation at their Florida condo,

Kathleen became concerned about her husband's mental state.

I noticed a change in him.

He seemed to be spending more money.

It just seemed like as time went on,

the money was going more and more to his head.

So you have no lien on this property?

ROBERT STACK: Back in Detroit, the mortgage

company where Philip was employed

made an unsettling discovery.

They had been servicing loans that Breen

had purchased from companies that simply did not exist.

The company suspected Philip Breen of embezzlement.

It was just mind boggling something

like that could happen.

The things that ran through your mind is, my God,

we trusted this guy, how could he do this to us?

ROBERT STACK: On Friday January 5th, 1990,

Philip and Kathleen returned from their Florida vacation

to their home in Detroit.

Hello?

Yes, all right, just a minute.

Phil, it's the office.

All right, I'll take it in here.

Something seemed to be not right, but I didn't know what.

And so I took his briefcase into him

in the room where he was on the phone,

and that room was a complete disaster area.

He had records piled all over the floor,

papers were strewn all over.

He looked very upset.

I mean, he had a very funny expression on his face,

and it frightened me to see him freaked out like that.

That evening, he revealed to me that he

had somehow been the victim of people selling phony mortgages.

He said to us, don't worry, I'll get these guys.

I know they can explain it.

There's not a problem.

You know, he kept reassuring us there's not a problem.

I'll get a hold of them over the weekend.

I kept saying, shouldn't we be contacting an attorney?

Should you be talking to a lawyer?

What do we need to do?

I was just confused.

I didn't know what to do.

I was afraid.

I was afraid for him.

I was afraid for us.

ROBERT STACK: By Monday morning, Philip

had convinced Kathleen that he could

straighten everything out.

He left for work at around 8 o'clock

explaining he had an early meeting.

Philip Breen never arrived at his office.

That night, Kathleen's hopes that Philip would return

were dashed when she discovered he had taken some

of his clothes and luggage.

I was really upset.

The idea that he would have actually gone

just was incomprehensible to me.

I couldn't believe it.

ROBERT STACK: An investigation by the FBI

revealed a magnitude of Philip Breen's embezzlement scheme.

In less than two years, he had created

at least 99 fictitious loans netting

in more than $10 million.

Breen allegedly used the money to support

his extravagant lifestyle.

The FBI also discovered that 12 years earlier,

Philip Breen had been convicted for fraud and embezzlement

in Florida.

There was just this whole person that I

didn't even know existed.

I think that I was really just numb with shock,

and then I question my own sanity, my own intelligence--

how could you not know?

And why didn't I know?

I mean, I found myself questioning

absolutely everything.

ROBERT STACK: On the advice of her attorney,

Kathleen filed for divorce.

It was too late.

The courts held her legally responsible for Philip's debts.

She was forced to sell nearly everything

she and Philip owned--

their cars, boats, Florida condo, and Detroit home.

For Kathleen Breen, the dream was not just over,

it had been shattered.

I felt like I was married to a monster from outer space,

and it almost just sickens me in a way.

Like, just haunted by it and still even now-- it's

just very difficult to believe that someone that you think

that you know would be capable of just picking

up and just leaving like that.

ROBERT STACK: On our next Unsolved Mysteries,

Captain Jeffrey Digman was a textbook,

picture perfect marine.

Then he was found shot to death in his own bed.
