ANNOUNCER: Tonight on
"Unsolved Mysteries"--

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Her name is Dolly

and her very
existence has set off

a compelling debate regarding
the future of cloning.

How far is science
willing to go?

Should cloning be used to
duplicate living human beings?

Can it be used to
bring back the dead?

In Los Angeles, a
young boy is rushed

to the hospital in a state
of full cardiac arrest.

Two years later, a little
girl is brought to the same ER

unconscious and battered.

The common link is this
woman, a live-in nanny

accused of murder and assault.

He can pick up your scent
even from a moving car.

He's one of nature's
original and best detectives.

Meet Yogi the bloodhound.

We'll follow Yogi as he tracks a
kidnapper and his young victim.

It was code named
Operation Stargate,

and it may have been the
most incredible espionage

program ever launched
by our government.

David Morehouse was part of
it, but Morehouse claims he

was no ordinary secret agent.

He was a psychic
spy for the CIA.

Join me for these fascinating
new cases and more,

on tonight's
"Unsolved Mysteries."

[theme music playing]

It is just a nondescript
wooden building,

but it was once headquarters
for an incredible

clandestine operation.

The man you're
about to meet claims

he was part of that operation.

He was one of America's
psychic spies.

What I was trained to do is
to transcend time and space

to view persons, places, or
things remote in time and space

and to gather and
report intelligence

information on the same.

And some examples
of those targets

would be soft targets, which
would be the mind of a test

engineer or of a design
engineer or of a military figure

or a political figure or hard
targets, which were weapons,

research and
development facilities,

the locations of
submarines, the locations

of counter-narcotics
targets, things of that ilk.

I'm spiraling down,
approaching the target.

I'm in the middle of something,
just outside of a big building.

There's a great deal of activity
here, lots of noise, confusion.

I can't quite make out
the target location yet.

MONITOR: Can you
find the target?

DAVID MOREHOUSE: There's
two armed guards protecting

the entrance to this building.

MONITOR: Good.

Move there and let's
see what we find.

DAVID MOREHOUSE: I'm
moving through the door.

I'm going up a staircase.

Looks like there's a--

no, two-- two more armed guards.

MONITOR: Pass through
the wall and describe

the contents of that room.

DAVID MOREHOUSE: I
sense there's going

to be some sort of
trial or judgment

that's about to take place.

My god, it's him.

It's the target.

It is called remote viewing.

The goal is to
witness distant events

and gather information
by harnessing

the psychic power of the mind.

For at least two decades,
American intelligence agencies

employed this technique.

Most recently code
named Stargate,

it was a top secret espionage
program the government

never wanted you to know about.

David Morehouse certainly
never expected to be the man

to blow the whistle on it.

David Morehouse was third
generation Army, the son and

grandson of career officers.

He graduated from
Brigham Young University

at the top of his class.

His background in
ROTC training put

him on the military fast track.

By 1987, Morehouse was a company
commander with the Rangers,

the Army's elite fighting unit.

In March of that year, he was
sent to the Kingdom of Jordan

to take part in a desert
training exercise,

but a stray machine
gun bullet would

soon change his life forever.

[gunfire]

The bullet lodged in Morehouse's
helmet, knocking him out cold.

It was then that he
claims he experienced

a vision of overwhelming power.

DAVID MOREHOUSE: I
had a messenger--

or I could call it an
angel or a spirit--

that came to me during this
time that I was knocked out.

I had spent some 13 years of
my life practicing the art

and science of
taking human life,

and yet here I stood
in the presence

of something who said to me--

very vividly, I
recall, said to me--

what you have chosen
in life, the path

you have chosen in
life, is the wrong path

and you are now to
choose a path of peace.

And then it was over.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): But
these sketches by Morehouse

are testimony that
it wasn't over.

He began having
horrifying dreams,

nightmares so
debilitating they drove

him to an Army psychologist.

The psychologist
suspected the concussion

had somehow released
in Morehouse

a latent psychic faculty.

DAVID MOREHOUSE: I half hoped
that this individual would

have me taken away and
evaluated and medicated

and make it all stop.

Instead, what he did do was
walk over to a file safe

and pull out three blue
folders that were stamped "Top

Secret: Grill Flame"
and brought them over

and proudly presented them
to me and set them on my lap

and said, I would like
you to review these

and I would like your
analysis tomorrow.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
The program was then

code named Grill Flame.

That night, Morehouse
pored over the files,

especially the transcripts of
the remote viewing sessions.

DAVID MOREHOUSE:
The verbiage used

was almost
frightening, chilling--

pass through the
wall and describe

the contents of the room.

I mean, that made the hair
stand up on the back of my neck.

It intrigued me
beyond any description

that I could possibly offer.

And the next morning before the
psychologist ever even came in,

I was standing at his
door waiting to come

in and talk to him about it.

Relax.

Keep your focus.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
David Morehouse

volunteered to join the unit.

Working with a monitor, he
learned to use biofeedback

to control his brainwaves
and send his consciousness

to the far points of the globe.

I can feel the warmth
of the sun on my back

and the cold on my nostrils.

DAVID MOREHOUSE: I was
obviously apparitional in form

and I was hovering
above whatever

it was from a very close
distance and I was moving.

It wasn't the object
that was moving,

I was moving across the object.

Peaking, dropping sharply.

Hell, I don't know.

I think it's a mountain.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
During practice sessions,

a monitor placed a
photograph of the target site

in an envelope across the room.

His first time out, David
Morehouse demonstrated

he had genuine ability.

DAVID MOREHOUSE: My
first target was Mt.

Fuji.

I was shocked.

I didn't believe it.

In that instant,
I had gone to Mt.

Fuji and was describing
what I saw, smelled, heard,

and felt at that location.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Over the next year,

David Morehouse worked with
seven other remote viewers

at Operation Stargate, steadily
refining his psychic talents.

One of his most
difficult assignments

came on February 17th, 1988.

On that day, Marine Lieutenant
Colonel William Higgins

was taken hostage
in Beirut, Lebanon

by a group of Shiite Muslims.

Colonel Higgins was head
of the United Nations group

monitoring the fragile truce
between Israel and Lebanon.

I got it.

It's him.

MONITOR: Are you certain?

Of course I am.

This is Colonel Higgins.

English?

Not English?

Who sent you?

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Morehouse says he

and the other remote viewers,
desperate to find Higgins,

began a marathon series
of psychic sessions.

He's not doing well.

He looks worse.

[inaudible]

DAVID MOREHOUSE: Even though
we could see him being moved

and we could describe
his surroundings

in the room and the beatings
and his physical conditioning

and his emotional condition,
we still could not or were not

ever able to provide
an address that

would allow a
rescue team to go in

and affect the hostage rescue.

He's going to die.

I can taste it.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Morehouse claims

that the remote
viewers psychically

sensed Higgins' death a year
and a half into his captivity.

Just a few days
later, the kidnappers

confirmed that Colonel
Higgins had been murdered.

More than two years would
pass before his remains

were recovered.

Another major challenge
for the Remote Viewing Unit

came just before
Christmas in 1988.

On December 21st,
Pan Am flight 103

exploded over
Lockerbie, Scotland,

killing all 259 people aboard
and 11 more on the ground.

Hours later, with the cause
of the crash still unknown,

the remote viewers were called
into an emergency session.

They were not given any
details or a specific target,

only a set of coordinates.

Their visions would prove
to be remarkably similar.

--75, 29, 38.

I'm having
difficulty focusing.

There's a great deal
of emotion here.

I see people sitting in
a row, some sleeping,

relaxing, some moving about.

I'm going to call this one.

I'm looking at the
interior of an airplane.

That's it.

[explosion]

Oh my god.

The entire plane
just disintegrated.

DAVID MOREHOUSE: For
us remote viewers,

it was a tremendous
emotional toll to us

to watch that catastrophic
event take place

and to see the
confusion of these souls

that were instantly there.

As everything that was physical
about them plummeted to Earth,

their souls remained there
in this ethereal state.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Within a day

of the disaster, Morehouse
and the other viewers

pieced together a scenario.

They believed flight
103 was blown up

by a terrorist bomb
hidden inside a suitcase

in the forward cargo hold.

Amazingly, after two months
of detailed investigation,

the FBI and the Scottish police
came to that exact conclusion.

At Fort Meade, Morehouse
continued his psychic sessions,

but he was becoming
disillusioned.

He claims the
program's leaders were

pushing the remote
viewers to use their minds

as tactical weapons.

We were starting to
develop the protocols to be

able to access the mind
of another human being

for the purpose of
destruction or death.

And that is when I finally drew
the line and said, I cannot

any longer be a part of this.

I can't see this
tremendous gift turned

into a very powerful and
tremendous and very elusive

dark weapon, which is what
we were going to do with it.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
David Morehouse

decided to violate his
security oath and go public.

The government's
response was swift.

They threatened him
with court martial.

Morehouse chose to resign his
commission and leave the Army.

He eventually wrote a
book, "Psychic Warrior."

In 1995, the CIA
admitted the existence

of Operation Stargate.

In the wake of the
negative publicity,

the program lost its
congressional support

and was shut down.

English?

Not English?

Who sent you?

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): How
great are the untapped powers

of the human mind?

Can they release us from
the prisons of our bodies?

Can remote viewing be used to
reveal the secrets of the past,

the present, even the future?

If you believe David
Morehouse, the potential

is real, the ramifications
both awesome and ominous.

Coming up, when
researchers announced

that a sheep had been
successfully cloned,

controversy spread worldwide.

What happens when science
circumvents nature?

But first, the search
for a fugitive nanny

suspected of assaulting the very
children entrusted to her care.

July 25, 1990, a chilling
nightmare for any parent.

Paramedics rush four-year-old
Ashley Berman into an emergency

room outside of Los Angeles.

She was unconscious
and barely breathing.

Can you tell me
how that happened?

I-- I-- she apparently
had some sort of seizure

and fell and hit her head.

How far was the fall?

It wasn't far.

She just fell on the floor.

I don't know, I wasn't there.

She was with the nanny.

Has she had seizures before?

Yes.

She's had them before, but
it's never been serious, no.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): A
short time later, the doctor

made a stunning accusation.

Ashley had been physically
assaulted. the likely suspect,

her nanny.

I looked at him
and said, no way.

I said, I don't know what
you're talking about.

Rosa would never hurt Ashley.

She took care of her.

We had neighbors that would see
Rosa and Ashley at the park.

They would call me up
and tell me how lucky I

was to have somebody like Rosa.

I did not believe them.

With more and more working
couples facing the daunting

challenge of earning a
living and raising a family,

many parents have been forced
to rely on live-in nannies

to care for their children.

Most of the time,
it's the beginning

of a loving and
wonderful relationship,

but every so often, as in the
case of Jeff and Sharon Berman,

parents discover that
they have unwittingly

subjected their child
to a reign of terror.

Listen, we understand you
worked for our neighbor.

How long did you work there?

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
The Bermas met Rosa Hernandez

in 1988, when she applied
to be the live-in nanny

for two-year-old Ashley.

That first day, Rosa was
accompanied by her cousin,

who helped to translate.

[speaking spanish]

JEFF BERMAN: Rosa was
very highly recommended

by various neighbors.

One neighbor that she
worked for a couple of years

beforehand who swore by her
that said that she was wonderful

and that she would be
perfect to watch our daughter

and that she had experience
with kids and she

was very good at what she did.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): But how

would Ashley respond to Rosa?

The Bermans had the
answer very quickly.

JEFF BERMAN: When we brought
Ashley down to meet her,

Ashley seemed to connect
very well, as well

as Rosa connected with Ashley.

So I felt that this was
definitely going to work out

and that she'd be
good with Ashley.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
The next week, Rosa Hernandez

moved in with the Bermans.

From the outset, she and Ashley
were practically inseparable.

Everything seemed to
be working out fine.

Ashley seemed to be
very fond of Rosa.

We'd be at a store
and Ashley would

always go over towards
the gums and say,

can we buy this for Rosa?

She always wanted to
buy things for Rosa,

she'd always talk about Rosa.

She always wanted to make
Rosa be happy and feel happy.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
For a year, all went well.

Then, however, Ashley began
suffering from a series

of mysterious injuries.

How are you doing?

Oh, my goodness.

What happened to your arm?

A boy hit me.

At school?

Every time we asked Ashley,
what happened, how did you

get this, she'd always tell
us it happened at school,

that she hurt her
hand on the swing,

that a little boy hit her
with a shovel, another child

hit her with a Barbie.

There was always an answer
that it happened at school.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
But in February of 1990,

it happened at home, a
deep gash on Ashley's head

that required several stitches.

You fell down the stairs.

Were you there, Mom?
- No.

The nanny was with her.

What happened?

She jumped in the stairs
and she hit it and she fell.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
According to Rosa,

Ashley had been
periodically blacking

out and experiencing seizures.

Although the Bermans
never witnessed an episode

themselves, they
feared Ashley had

developed a serious
physiological disorder.

We put Ashley through
all kinds of tests.

We put her through CAT
scans, MRIs which were

very difficult to get a
four-and-a-half-year-old

child into an MRI.

With all the tests, they
could find absolutely nothing

that related that
she had any tendency

really towards seizures.

All indications was is that
she was a very healthy child.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): A
few months later, Jeff Berman

came home early
from a walk to find

that his very healthy
child had once

again been severely injured.

[speaking spanish]
- Whoa.

Slow down.

Slow down.

What happened?

Come here.
Calm down.

What happened?

She slipped.

She slipped.

And Rosa proceeded to tell
me that Ashley had fallen down.

She was wearing some shoes and
she tripped and she fell down.

And I felt comfortable
that she had just fallen.

I saw the shoes, the shoes
were in the kitchen floor.

So when, again, the scene
was re-enacted by Ashley,

it all made sense.

Can you tell me what happened?

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Just nine

days later came Ashley Berman's
frightening brush with death.

I thought Ashley was
going to die on us I mean,

I just looked at her, she
was all pale, hooked up.

And I thought we were
going to lose her.

And pretty much we were told
if she survived, if she lived,

she'd more than likely be
retarded or blind or both.

Give me a CAT scan,
a full set of lab,

and run the IV [inaudible].

After I examined Ashley,
I was suspicious that Ashley

might have been abused.

She had some small
hemorrhages in the retina.

This is a condition
that's associated

with shaken baby syndrome.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Dr. Gillingham

decided to check into
Ashley's medical history

and phoned her pediatrician.

I have one of your patients
here, an Ashley Berman.

She's showing signs of
retinal hemorrhaging.

It wasn't until I spoke
with Ashley's pediatrician

that we made a connection
to a prior case

where the same caregiver
had been involved in taking

care of a child who
died of what they

thought might be child abuse.

This way, number two.

For the Bermans, it was
a shocking piece of news.

Two years earlier,
Dr. Gillingham

had treated a
17-month-old boy who

was rushed to the hospital in
a state of full cardiac arrest.

That day, the toddler
had reportedly been

in the care of Rosa Hernandez.

The Bermans knew
of the incident,

but had heard the boy
choked on a hot dog.

We were able to
resuscitate the child,

get the child breathing and
with a good blood pressure

and pulse.

The child was subsequently
admitted to the hospital

but then died within the
next, I think, 17 or 18 hours.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): An autopsy

revealed that the boy
had a fractured skull

with internal bleeding.

His death was ruled a homicide.

However, there was not
enough evidence to file

charges against Rosa Hernandez.

Now with Ashley Berman
fighting for her life,

police believed they had
a case against Hernandez.

She was charged with
child abuse and murder.

I love Ashley.

I never hurt her.

I love her.

And Rosa's first
reaction was she

looked at me with an evil
look in her face and said,

why, mister?

Why?

I love Ashley.

I love Ashley, when
they led her out.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Ashley spent

a full week in the
hospital and eventually

made a complete recovery.

Today she is 11
years old and more

than willing to talk
about her experiences

with Rosa Hernandez.

ASHLEY BERMAN: She used
to push me down the steps.

I would hide her [inaudible]
shawl to get her back

and so she took silverware
and hit my nails.

And she would also
take her earrings

and poke them through my nails.

And she would bang my
head against the walls,

the doors, and the wood floors.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
In March of 1991,

Rosa Hernandez pleaded guilty
to involuntary manslaughter

and child abuse.

Despite protests
from the Bermans,

she was released on
her own recognizance

and promptly disappeared.

I believe that it's been
a long enough period of time

that she feels safe, and
I fear that that's true

because if it is, she's
back in the States

and she may be babysitting right
now another child that's going

to fall victim to her abuse.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Today, some seven years

after her traumatic
ordeal, Ashley Berman

has a younger brother and sister
and a bright and promising

future.

Every time that I
look at her, I visualize

what could have been--

the fact that she
could have died,

she could have been
retarded, she could have had

major learning disabilities.

I'm very thankful
that we were lucky,

that Ashley is a normal,
healthy 11-year-old child

today because she
may not have ever

made it past four and half.

She would have been
four and a half forever.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): Maria
Rosa Hernandez, a native of El

Salvador, is now 32 years old.

She is five feet,
four inches tall

and weighs approximately
130 pounds.

She is a mother of three.

Hernandez speaks
broken English and has

what appeared to be burn scars
on her right upper forearm.

When we return, police enlist
the astonishing abilities

of Yogi the bloodhound
in the desperate search

for a little girl.

He doesn't have
a badge, he never

went to the Police Academy,
he doesn't even own a uniform.

But when it comes to
tracking down criminals,

he's one of the best.

This is Yogi, a five-year-old
purebred bloodhound,

one of 1,000
bloodhounds currently

working in law enforcement.

Forget all the modern
investigating techniques.

In this story, Yogi proves that
nothing beats a remarkable nose

of a bloodhound.

We're looking for
a little girl, sir.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
May 18th, 1993.

Police in Englewood,
Colorado, a Denver suburb,

search door to door for a
five-year-old Alie Berrelez

Alie was last seen
playing in the courtyard

of the apartment complex where
she lived with her family.

Her babysitter went
inside for a few minutes.

When she returned,
Ali had disappeared.

The search continued
for four days,

but police could not
find a single clue.

Finally, they turned to an
age old crime fighting tool.

I had never been exposed to
the bloodhounds and the work

that they do.

And it was certainly something--
anything we could try

to do to find this little girl.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
As news cameras rolled,

Yogi the bloodhound and
his handler, Canine Officer

Jerry Nichols, went to work.

Yogi took Alie's scent from
clothing she had recently worn,

then started moving.

He first went up
the stairs, zeroing

in on a single
apartment, Alie's home.

It was a good sign.

Yogi was on the right track.

I wanted to have hope that
this bloodhound would be

able to find our granddaughter.

From my balcony on
the second floor,

I was watching the dog work
and there was a sort of comfort

that I felt because I felt,
now they're going to find her.

Now they're to find
her and they're

going to find her alive.

Where did he go?

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Yogi led

Jerry out of the
apartment complex

and south, down the street.

The media crush followed close
behind, recording every move,

but the dog wasn't
bothered at all.

JERRY NICHOLS: He didn't care.

He was oblivious
to everything other

than what he was doing
because he's happy doing it.

Well, a bloodhound is by
instinct a tracker by nature.

It's something they are bred
to do and they live to do.

Their sense of smell
is just incredible.

The loose skin
around the face just

acts as a place for the scent to
be attracted to the skin folds.

The jowls, the slobbering
is the moisture

that the dog is emitting
will actually help enhance

that scent around his face.

He's putting
moisture in the air.

And those long
dangling floppy ears,

it stirs it up in front of him.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
A scent trail,

whether animal or human,
comes from thousands

of dead skin cells that
are constantly being shed.

If those cells are not swept
away by weather changes

like snow, rain,
or severe winds,

the scent could remain
clear for up to a month.

JERRY NICHOLS: When a dog is
introduced a specific scent

to track, he basically
focuses on that scent

and forgets and
ignores the rest.

His job is this is the
scent I have to work,

this is where I'm
going to go in.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): As
Yogi followed Alie's scent,

Jerry quickly recognized
a familiar pattern

in the way the dog was working.

JERRY NICHOLS: If a
person's walking on foot,

the scent's a
little bit stronger

and they're going to
stay by the sidewalk.

But he is working the
wide between the street

and between the
fronts of businesses

and he's still picking
it up on the fringes.

And seeing him do
that before, he just--

in my mind, he
was working a car.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Unbelievable

as it seems, we leave
scent trails even

from fast-moving cars.

The skin cells shoot out
through the car's ventilation

and exhaust system and
are deposited on this side

of the road, where
a bloodhound's

nose can quickly pick them up.

JERRY NICHOLS: We've
even done scenarios

in training where
we'll put a person

in a trunk that's sealed up
and they still can pick it up.

His world is his nose.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Yogi led the search

party south for several miles,
covering almost 40 city blocks.

At the entrance to
a freeway, he headed

straight up the westbound ramp.

Where is he, buddy?

Oh, good dog.

Good dog.

I was very skeptical
that dog was doing anything

other than going for a walk.

But when he took that
first ramp to I-470

and did so with so
much confidence,

then I started to
wonder, maybe the dog

is really onto something here.

Now we're on an interstate.

As far as I know, we could
end up coming around I-70

and heading towards California.

You think he's still got it?

Oh, I know he's got something.

I mean, that's why
he's coming this way.

But I don't know how
far we're going to go

or where we're going to go.

Let's go.

Come on, buddy.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
The search party

drove west to the next exit.

Would the scent trail lead
Yogi further down the freeway

or off the exit ramp?

Come on.

Let's go.

Where is he?

Come on.

JERRY NICHOLS: Sure
enough, he kept on working

and he went past it.

So then we'd load him
up, go the next exit.

And we did the same
thing several times.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
To save time and effort,

the police decided to
skip the fourth exit

and move onto the fifth.

Yogi quickly made it obvious
that they had overshot the mark

and lost the trail.

He doesn't have it here.

We're going to have to get
back on the other side.

We've had everything going
westbound up to here.

Now it's not here.

Come on.

Where is he? come on.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
They backtracked one

half mile to the previous exit.

Yogi again picked up the scent
and led them off the freeway.

He headed in the direction of a
wooded area, Deer Creek Canyon.

The canyon is located
here, southwest

of the apartment complex where
Alie Berrelez disappeared.

Yogi had been
trailing Alie's scent

over city streets,
parking lots, and freeways

for more than seven hours.

He had covered nearly 14 miles.

Yogi, come on.
Let's go.

Come on.
Pick it up.

I know you're hot.

Com eon.

Let's go.

JERRY NICHOLS: He was
slowing down a little bit,

the tongue was really dragging
and he was really slobbering

and I could tell
he was getting hot.

Yogi where is he?
Come on.

Come on.

JERRY NICHOLS: A hound has
a drive, unfortunately,

they will run
themselves to death.

If they get tired,
they don't care.

They don't stop.
- I know it's hot.

Come on.

That's a boy.

Come on.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Though it

was clear Yogi's strength was
failing, Yogi refused to stop.

Good dog.

Good boy.

He basically kept looking at
me as to, why are we stopping?

I'm not ready to stop.

I want to keep going.

This is my track, I
want to get there.

It's kind of hard for him.

He didn't really appreciate
me putting him up,

but I put him up.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Jerry felt he had no choice.

Yogi had to rest.

Before Jerry could bring the
dog back the next morning,

human volunteers
picked up the search.

Within an hour, they knew why
Yogi had not wanted to quit.

The body of Alie
Berrelez was found

less than two miles
from the point where

Yogi had been forced to stop.

Without Yogi, Alie's body might
never have been discovered.

JERRY NICHOLS: I think at
first it didn't sink in

because I was pretty
upset at the fact

that Alie was found dead.

And then over time, I realized
everything worked just right.

He was started right,
the dog worked well,

and to end up where
he did it just-- yeah,

I was totally amazed.

I really couldn't
believe it at first.

Because he was
able to find her,

we were able to at least
have a decent funeral

for our granddaughter.

We were able to view her, we
were able to be there with her.

It was something because we
felt that we had found her,

we had a type of joy that
we felt OK, everybody

is here again together.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
Yogi's job was not over.

Alie's killer unwittingly left
behind a single vital clue,

his scent.

Yogi took that side and trailed
it back to the same apartment

complex where Alie had lived.

The killer had
apparently returned

to the scene of the kidnapping.

The track was working, so
that focused our investigation

as to we were looking
for someone that had been

in the same area and
brought our focus

back to the apartment building.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Police have

not yet found Ali's killer.

While the investigation
continues,

Alie's family and
friends have set

up a foundation to
donate bloodhounds

to police departments.

We were going to do something
in memory of our granddaughter

and my thoughts were, what if
there were always bloodhounds

available minutes, seconds after
a child is called in missing?

What if those bloodhounds
would be available?

Would they be able
to find a child

before that child gets hurt?

Would this one bloodhound,
had he been there minutes

after our granddaughter
had been abducted,

would this bloodhound have been
able to find our granddaughter

right there in somebody's
apartment in the apartment

complex before she was hurt?

These dogs have a
purpose in law enforcement.

I mean, we're out here
working for the communities

and the citizens.

And the citizens
do not care what

it takes to get the job
done, they just expect

you to do everything you can.

And if this is a tool to help
us do that, that's what we do

and that's how we approach it.

And they really have done
some amazing things for us.

Come on, let's go.
Pick it up.

I know you're hot.

Come on.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): Next, she

symbolizes both the power and
the pitfalls of modern science.

She is the first
perfect clone and

her existence may forever alter
our concepts of life and death.

With the fictional Dr.
Frankenstein built his monster

from scavenged body
parts, terrified filmgoers

can still remind themselves
it's only a movie.

Few would have guessed that
just decades later, science

would be on the brink of
actually creating a human being

in the lab, not out of parts
but through an extraordinary

process known as cloning.

Once considered impossible,
cloning is a dramatic advance

that may someday end the
tyranny of diseases like cancer

and sickle cell anemia.

But some fear we have
opened a Pandora's box

of freakish possibilities
that could allow us

to endlessly recreate
ourselves or even

bring the dead back to life.

Critics argue that such matters
are best left to nature.

Simply put, cloning is
making an exact copy,

and in nature it
is hardly uncommon.

When a fertilized egg
divides and separates,

the result is two
embryos, two sets

of identical genetic codes,
one set of identical twins.

The challenge for science
was duplicating the process

artificially and at will.

In the 1950s, researchers
took DNA from one frog embryo

and made a second frog,
its exact genetic double.

By the 1980s, the same process
had been used to create

cow and sheep embryos.

However, scientists
couldn't engineer a clone

from a fully grown animal--

at least not until Dolly.

The whole world now
knows who and what

she is, the first mammal
ever cloned from an adult.

With her birth in
Scotland last July,

researchers crossed
an historic threshold.

I had no doubt
that we would be

able to take the technology
that was used in Scotland

and perfect it with human eggs.

And within a few years, with
a little bit of tinkering

they'll be able to
clone human beings.

There is much about cloning
that we still do not know.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): That looming

possibility prompted
an immediate response

from the president.

--creation is not simply a
matter of scientific inquiry.

It is a matter of morality
and spirituality, as well.

Therefore, today I am
issuing a directive--

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
President Clinton's ban

on federal funding of
human cloning research

came amidst rampant
speculation that it was

not a question of if, but
when human cloning would

be a reality.

Countries can pass
laws, they can regulate,

they can discourage in
a very legitimate way,

but they ultimately
cannot control cloning.

There is no way to prevent some
latter day Victor Frankenstein

from cloning a human
being if, indeed,

she or he chooses to do so.

ROBERT STACK
(VOICEOVER): The presumed

difficulty of imposing controls
has spawned dire predictions.

Perhaps cloning would lead to
the creation of a workforce

of enslaved clones or end in
a race of fiendish humanoids

without souls, or perhaps the
search for people to clone

will reach beyond the grave.

It is possible
to freeze cells,

and if the cells are frozen
properly, you could bring,

for example, a dead
person back to life

in the sense of bringing
his genes back to life.

People today could die, have
their cells frozen down,

and potentially in the
future these people could

have clones of themselves born.

It's possible to imagine
that we could clone someone

from the past who was not
just someone who was good,

but also someone who
was extremely evil.

If, for example, someone
recommended that we clone Adolf

Hitler, the expectation
would be that this

would be the same evil
leader of the past.

But what we know,
of course, that that

would be an impossibility.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
It is impossible

because a clone of
an adult doesn't

emerge from the lab as
another fully-formed adult.

Far from it.

A clone begins as a
microscopic embryo floating

at the bottom of a test tube.

Imagine, then, if someone did,
indeed, successfully clone

Adolf Hitler.

The embryo would
have to be implanted

into a surrogate mother, carried
for nine months until birth,

then raised into adulthood.

There is no way
to know, let alone

guarantee, who that person
would turn out to be.

We don't know what
produced Adolf Hitler

in the first place,
to what extent

was it his genetic
makeup; to what extent

was it very small variations in
the circumstances of his life.

The new person that
is born will look eerily

like the person
that already exists,

but it will be a
different person.

It will have its own
personality, its own soul.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER): The
same limits apply to those

we might want to see cloned--

people like Albert
Einstein or Ben Franklin.

However, as tantalizing as
it might seem to resurrect

the past, the best
use of cloning

appears to be in
building the future.

The most obvious advantage
of cloning is for someone who

cannot have children to
be offered the opportunity

to have children.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
For such couples,

cloning could be a godsend.

But others might see it
as an opportunity to cheat

death by recreating themselves.

There is the fear
that people might

want to clone
themselves to achieve

an immortality of some sort.

And this is the worry that
somebody will clone themselves

into a child and then
expect that child to live

the same life that they lived.

ROBERT STACK (VOICEOVER):
The lure of immortality

and the potential of cloning
could add up to an even more

appalling outcome,
the possibility

of a real-life Frankenstein.

There's the worry in many
people's mind that individuals

will want to clone themselves to
be able to use their so-called

clones for body
parts if their body

parts wear out later in life.

Every clone that
is born is going

to be a complete human being.

The person won't be a sub human
being in any way whatsoever.

And if you took a heart
out of that person,

that would be murder--

nothing less than murder.

Cloning is like a hammer.

You can use it for good
purposes or you can use

it for objectionable purposes.

You can use it to build
a house or you can use it

to bash someone over the head.

Cloning has the
potential for providing

a real service to humanity.

Once we have gotten over the
shock of the more startling

possibilities, we will
come to the realization

that genuine advantages
may attached to it.

The scariest cloning
scenarios do seem

unlikely, at least for now.

But as we learned with
splitting the atom,

scientific advances
can give rise

to unintended consequences.

With human cloning
all but inevitable,

this is a time for researchers,
theologians, and civic leaders

to lay down some ground rules.

With foresight, cloning
might serve us well.

Otherwise, just like
Frankenstein's monster,

it could emerge from the
lab as an awesome threat.
