NARRATOR: Tonight on "Unsolved Mysteries." 4 00:00:11,812 --> 00:00:13,614 ROBERT STACK: For six-year-old Katherine Korzilius, is it 5 00:00:13,714 --> 00:00:16,384 was just a short walk home, but something 6 00:00:16,484 --> 00:00:18,719 terrible happened on the way. 7 00:00:18,819 --> 00:00:21,522 Now the mystery of Katherine's tragic death and her parent's 8 00:00:21,622 --> 00:00:24,825 desperate search for answers, has been chronicled in a song 9 00:00:24,925 --> 00:00:29,963 by a family friend and rock artist, Jon Bon Jovi. 10 00:00:30,064 --> 00:00:33,567 His life of crime began when he was just six-years-old. 11 00:00:33,667 --> 00:00:36,804 Now, he's considered the best cat burglar in America. 12 00:00:36,904 --> 00:00:40,641 And he has relieved his wealthy victims of $30 million. 13 00:00:40,741 --> 00:00:44,678 Beware of the Dinnertime Bandit. 14 00:00:44,778 --> 00:00:48,249 The Gulf War, the Oklahoma City bombing, 15 00:00:48,349 --> 00:00:50,318 the earthquake in Kobe, Japan-- 16 00:00:50,418 --> 00:00:52,320 according to the best selling book, 17 00:00:52,420 --> 00:00:55,289 "The Bible Code," these events, and many others, 18 00:00:55,389 --> 00:00:57,991 were predicted nearly 3,000 years ago. 19 00:00:58,092 --> 00:01:00,161 Does the ancient text of the Bible 20 00:01:00,261 --> 00:01:05,799 contain a secret code that charts the history of mankind? 21 00:01:05,899 --> 00:01:09,002 You'll meet a young mother who says she needs your help. 22 00:01:09,103 --> 00:01:12,606 Several years ago, her five-month-old baby vanished. 23 00:01:12,706 --> 00:01:14,975 Now, police believe it was foul play 24 00:01:15,075 --> 00:01:17,145 and she may be the key suspect. 25 00:01:17,245 --> 00:01:18,946 MARLENE AISENBERG: When the police sit across from you 26 00:01:19,046 --> 00:01:21,682 and say, we believe you know where your daughter is, 27 00:01:21,782 --> 00:01:23,817 and we believe you know who has her, 28 00:01:23,917 --> 00:01:26,887 there's a good reason to get an attorney. 29 00:01:26,987 --> 00:01:30,891 Join me for these intriguing stories and more. 30 00:01:30,991 --> 00:01:33,727 Perhaps, you may be able to help solve a mystery. 31 00:02:15,403 --> 00:02:18,272 [music playing] 32 00:02:18,372 --> 00:02:21,242 [piano playing] 33 00:02:22,643 --> 00:02:24,378 ROBERT STACK: Even though she was just six years old, 34 00:02:24,478 --> 00:02:28,649 Katherine Korzilius seemed to be leading a charmed life. 35 00:02:28,749 --> 00:02:30,218 She lived in an upscale neighborhood 36 00:02:30,318 --> 00:02:32,686 outside Austin, Texas with her parents Nancy 37 00:02:32,786 --> 00:02:35,923 and Paul and her brother, Chris. 38 00:02:36,023 --> 00:02:37,591 Her father was a personal manager 39 00:02:37,691 --> 00:02:41,128 for rock star Jon Bon Jovi. 40 00:02:41,229 --> 00:02:43,664 The two families were close and often vacationed together. 41 00:02:46,767 --> 00:02:49,270 When Katherine had her first piano recital in December 42 00:02:49,370 --> 00:02:52,906 of 1995, no one could have imagined that she would never 43 00:02:53,006 --> 00:02:55,309 live to see the first grade. 44 00:02:55,409 --> 00:02:57,745 And that her death would become a tragic unsolved 45 00:02:57,845 --> 00:03:00,147 mystery, memorialized by her father's 46 00:03:00,248 --> 00:03:01,882 old friend, Jon Bon Jovi. 47 00:03:01,982 --> 00:03:03,351 [[MUSIC - JON BON JOVI, "AUGUST 7, 4:15"] 48 00:03:03,451 --> 00:03:08,789 Tell me it was just a dream, August 7, 4:15. 49 00:03:11,859 --> 00:03:16,730 ROBERT STACK: Tell me it was just a dream, August 7, 4:15-- 50 00:03:16,830 --> 00:03:18,899 that's when Nancy and Paul Korzilius's world 51 00:03:18,999 --> 00:03:19,800 came crashing down. 52 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,478 August 7, 1996, was Paul Korzilius's birthday. 53 00:03:30,578 --> 00:03:33,547 He was working at his office in New York City. 54 00:03:33,647 --> 00:03:35,148 Nancy and the kids had spent the day 55 00:03:35,249 --> 00:03:38,686 running errands around Austin, picking out a gift from. 56 00:03:38,786 --> 00:03:42,122 You know, I think dad's really going to like his present. 57 00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:43,391 I think he will, too. 58 00:03:43,491 --> 00:03:44,492 Hey, Chris. 59 00:03:44,592 --> 00:03:46,159 Katherine, settle down. 60 00:03:46,260 --> 00:03:48,696 NANCY KORZILIUS: We had been very busy as usual, 61 00:03:48,796 --> 00:03:51,365 doing some shopping and taking in some lunch 62 00:03:51,465 --> 00:03:53,000 and some appointments. 63 00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:55,836 It was extremely hot. 64 00:03:55,936 --> 00:04:00,608 It was very quiet here in our neighborhood, as it usually is. 65 00:04:00,708 --> 00:04:03,210 In fact, I can remark that it was 66 00:04:03,311 --> 00:04:06,314 exceptionally quiet that day. 67 00:04:06,414 --> 00:04:08,349 ROBERT STACK: On the way home, they stopped at the community 68 00:04:08,449 --> 00:04:10,718 mailbox to pick up the mail. 69 00:04:10,818 --> 00:04:12,786 It was a ritual Katherine looked forward to. 70 00:04:16,857 --> 00:04:18,526 Nancy knew what would happen next. 71 00:04:18,626 --> 00:04:20,694 Mommy, may I walk home? 72 00:04:20,794 --> 00:04:23,163 Sure, I'll see you when you get there. 73 00:04:23,263 --> 00:04:27,468 It was Katherine's way of saying she was a big girl. 74 00:04:27,568 --> 00:04:30,103 NANCY KORZILIUS: I allowed Katherine to do that because I 75 00:04:30,203 --> 00:04:31,872 knew she was ready to be more independent, 76 00:04:31,972 --> 00:04:34,742 and she had done it before. 77 00:04:34,842 --> 00:04:36,710 ROBERT STACK: Nancy and Chris drove home in the direction 78 00:04:36,810 --> 00:04:38,779 the car was already facing. 79 00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:40,748 Katherine went in the opposite direction, 80 00:04:40,848 --> 00:04:41,715 the shorter way home. 81 00:04:45,085 --> 00:04:46,119 ROBERT STACK: The Korzilius family 82 00:04:46,219 --> 00:04:48,456 lives here on Elder Circle. 83 00:04:48,556 --> 00:04:51,859 The community mailboxes are located here. 84 00:04:51,959 --> 00:04:54,728 Nancy and Chris drove home in this direction. 85 00:04:54,828 --> 00:04:58,298 Katherine apparently followed this route. 86 00:04:58,399 --> 00:04:59,667 NANCY KORZILIUS: Both of my children 87 00:04:59,767 --> 00:05:04,037 had walked home together and separately from the mailboxes. 88 00:05:04,137 --> 00:05:09,877 It's a short walk, probably less than a quarter of a mile. 89 00:05:12,513 --> 00:05:15,282 When Chris and I got home, we unloaded our car 90 00:05:15,383 --> 00:05:17,485 and started putting our packages away. 91 00:05:17,585 --> 00:05:20,388 Mom, Katherine's not back. 92 00:05:20,488 --> 00:05:22,189 She probably just stopped somewhere along the way. 93 00:05:22,289 --> 00:05:24,124 Go back up on the road and see if you can find her. 94 00:05:24,224 --> 00:05:27,561 All right. 95 00:05:27,661 --> 00:05:30,163 He came back in just a very short period of time, 96 00:05:30,263 --> 00:05:31,765 a few minutes, and he was crying. 97 00:05:31,865 --> 00:05:34,201 And he said, she's not there, mom. 98 00:05:34,301 --> 00:05:36,504 We got in our car and drove right 99 00:05:36,604 --> 00:05:38,005 next door to our neighbors. 100 00:05:38,105 --> 00:05:40,040 I ran down the steps to their front door, 101 00:05:40,140 --> 00:05:41,008 knocked on the door. 102 00:05:41,108 --> 00:05:44,144 Their son answered. 103 00:05:44,244 --> 00:05:45,879 Hi, is Katherine here? 104 00:05:45,979 --> 00:05:46,747 No, ma'am. 105 00:05:46,847 --> 00:05:49,483 She hasn't been by here at all? 106 00:05:49,583 --> 00:05:53,086 I believe, at that moment, Chris and I knew that something 107 00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:54,021 terrible had happened. 108 00:05:57,691 --> 00:05:59,660 ROBERT STACK: Nancy would find out how to her just minutes 109 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,561 later. 110 00:06:14,542 --> 00:06:17,044 NANCY KORZILIUS: I could tell that she was unconscious, 111 00:06:17,144 --> 00:06:18,345 but she was breathing. 112 00:06:18,446 --> 00:06:20,581 And I knew it was too hot to leave her on the pavement. 113 00:06:24,452 --> 00:06:27,287 I know that it's never a good idea to move somebody 114 00:06:27,387 --> 00:06:29,923 if you don't know what their injuries are, 115 00:06:30,023 --> 00:06:31,224 but I just couldn't leave her there. 116 00:06:31,324 --> 00:06:34,127 And I think having driven her to the emergency 117 00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:36,363 before knowing the way very well, 118 00:06:36,464 --> 00:06:39,867 I felt confident that I was able to drive that drive. 119 00:06:42,603 --> 00:06:43,604 ROBERT STACK: Katherine Korzilius 120 00:06:43,704 --> 00:06:45,739 had suffered a fractured skull. 121 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,510 She never regained consciousness. 122 00:06:49,610 --> 00:06:51,378 NANCY KORZILIUS: Katherine was on a ventilator 123 00:06:51,479 --> 00:06:55,483 to keep her breathing, but she was brain dead. 124 00:06:55,583 --> 00:06:59,720 It wasn't a matter of her being in a coma or being unconscious, 125 00:06:59,820 --> 00:07:01,955 her brain had died. 126 00:07:02,055 --> 00:07:04,625 I arranged for a charter aircraft 127 00:07:04,725 --> 00:07:07,427 so I could come directly home, but in the end, 128 00:07:07,528 --> 00:07:08,829 it was too late anyway. 129 00:07:08,929 --> 00:07:10,931 I arrived at 12:30 in the morning 130 00:07:11,031 --> 00:07:14,568 and I believe she was pronounced dead at 11:30 that night, 131 00:07:14,668 --> 00:07:15,869 an hour before my arrival. 132 00:07:19,907 --> 00:07:22,209 ROBERT STACK: From the start, everyone assumed that Katherine 133 00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:25,178 Korzilius was a victim of a hit-and-run, 134 00:07:25,278 --> 00:07:27,214 but even as the police searched for a driver, 135 00:07:27,314 --> 00:07:29,550 a disturbing question surfaced. 136 00:07:29,650 --> 00:07:34,655 How did Katherine end up in the spot where she was found? 137 00:07:34,755 --> 00:07:37,591 Katherine was last seen headed in this direction. 138 00:07:37,691 --> 00:07:39,326 Less than 10 minutes later, she was 139 00:07:39,426 --> 00:07:41,962 found here on the opposite side of the circle, 140 00:07:42,062 --> 00:07:45,398 half a mile away. 141 00:07:45,499 --> 00:07:46,800 The extent of her injuries were 142 00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:51,204 such that she didn't take a step after she received the injury. 143 00:07:51,304 --> 00:07:54,041 And the point that her body was found on Elder Circle, 144 00:07:54,141 --> 00:07:57,177 is not on the path that she walked from the mailbox 145 00:07:57,277 --> 00:07:59,513 to the house. 146 00:07:59,613 --> 00:08:01,148 ROBERT STACK: No one could explain it, 147 00:08:01,248 --> 00:08:02,916 and the medical examiner's report 148 00:08:03,016 --> 00:08:04,985 would only deepen the mystery. 149 00:08:05,085 --> 00:08:07,020 He determined that Katherine had not died 150 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,624 from a hit-and-run accident. 151 00:08:10,724 --> 00:08:13,060 In addition to the head injury, he found abrasions 152 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,564 on Katherine's left shoulder, the small of her back, 153 00:08:16,664 --> 00:08:19,700 on her right hip, and on both knees. 154 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,369 What could have caused them? 155 00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:23,771 The injuries that Katherine sustained 156 00:08:23,871 --> 00:08:27,340 could have been the result of either jumping from a moving 157 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,411 vehicle, being thrown from a moving vehicle, 158 00:08:31,511 --> 00:08:33,581 or falling from a moving vehicle. 159 00:08:33,681 --> 00:08:36,784 The type of injury that we expect in this circumstance 160 00:08:36,884 --> 00:08:38,218 that would have been the same. 161 00:08:38,318 --> 00:08:40,954 [music playing] 162 00:08:41,054 --> 00:08:42,856 ROBERT STACK: If Katherine did tumble from a moving 163 00:08:42,956 --> 00:08:45,292 vehicle, whose vehicle was it? 164 00:08:45,392 --> 00:08:46,994 And was she pushed? 165 00:08:47,094 --> 00:08:49,763 Or did she fall? 166 00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:51,565 PAUL KORZILIUS: One of the theories that investigators 167 00:08:51,665 --> 00:08:55,703 proposed was that indeed, somehow Katherine had jumped 168 00:08:55,803 --> 00:08:58,972 on the back of our vehicle without Nancy's knowledge 169 00:08:59,072 --> 00:09:02,643 and as the vehicle drove around Elder Circle, 170 00:09:02,743 --> 00:09:06,313 she had fallen off which was a way to explain where she was 171 00:09:06,413 --> 00:09:08,148 found in Elder Circle, which is completely 172 00:09:08,248 --> 00:09:11,619 opposite of where she would have been on her normal route. 173 00:09:11,719 --> 00:09:14,087 [music playing] 174 00:09:14,187 --> 00:09:16,456 ROBERT STACK: The Korzilius family was stunned. 175 00:09:16,556 --> 00:09:19,459 Was it possible that Nancy was responsible for her daughter's 176 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:20,761 death? 177 00:09:20,861 --> 00:09:23,463 The Korzilius's hired their own private investigator, 178 00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:25,098 Barbara O'Brien. 179 00:09:25,198 --> 00:09:28,702 She has difficulty with the police scenario. 180 00:09:28,802 --> 00:09:31,639 Now the problem with that is, it's a hot August day. 181 00:09:31,739 --> 00:09:34,507 This whole car would have been very, very hot. 182 00:09:34,608 --> 00:09:38,011 There's only one place to hold on to all the way up here. 183 00:09:38,111 --> 00:09:43,350 And the door is the only other place down here to hold on to, 184 00:09:43,450 --> 00:09:45,919 and it opens when you get a hold of it. 185 00:09:46,019 --> 00:09:50,157 She also had a broken left thumb and she had a splint 186 00:09:50,257 --> 00:09:51,859 on her thumb so it would have been 187 00:09:51,959 --> 00:09:55,829 extremely difficult for her to get a hold on anything. 188 00:09:55,929 --> 00:09:58,498 And her mother would have seen her in the rear view mirror. 189 00:10:01,769 --> 00:10:02,970 ROBERT STACK: For the Korzilius family, 190 00:10:03,070 --> 00:10:04,972 the implication is clear. 191 00:10:05,072 --> 00:10:09,743 They believe their daughter was abducted and murdered. 192 00:10:09,843 --> 00:10:11,812 A search of a vacant overgrown lot, 193 00:10:11,912 --> 00:10:13,881 just 30 yards from the mailboxes, 194 00:10:13,981 --> 00:10:17,317 may have provided a crucial clue. 195 00:10:17,417 --> 00:10:21,121 A few days after Katherine's death, 196 00:10:21,221 --> 00:10:23,957 the investigators did bring in the K-9 197 00:10:24,057 --> 00:10:26,794 unit and search the area. 198 00:10:26,894 --> 00:10:31,598 They did pick up her scent over in this vacant lot, which would 199 00:10:31,699 --> 00:10:34,367 indicate that she was coming in this direction 200 00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:38,505 from the mailboxes, taking the most direct route home. 201 00:10:38,605 --> 00:10:42,342 The scent was lost, however, which tells us that this may 202 00:10:42,442 --> 00:10:44,644 have been the point where she was abducted 203 00:10:44,745 --> 00:10:46,546 or the injury took place. 204 00:10:46,646 --> 00:10:48,281 But she was then later moved to where 205 00:10:48,381 --> 00:10:52,085 she was found by her mother. 206 00:10:52,185 --> 00:10:55,689 She looked like she'd been laid out there for me to find. 207 00:10:55,789 --> 00:10:57,725 Her hair was smooth down. 208 00:10:57,825 --> 00:10:59,993 Her shirt was straight. 209 00:11:00,093 --> 00:11:01,695 Her shorts were straight. 210 00:11:01,795 --> 00:11:03,563 Her toes were pointed straight. 211 00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:05,198 Her sandals were on. 212 00:11:05,298 --> 00:11:08,135 I know someone moved her, and I know someone 213 00:11:08,235 --> 00:11:09,502 laid her there for me to find. 214 00:11:12,773 --> 00:11:15,175 ROBERT STACK: What did happen to Katherine Korzilius that August 215 00:11:15,275 --> 00:11:16,710 afternoon? 216 00:11:16,810 --> 00:11:20,180 A year after her death, Katherine lives on in memories. 217 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,250 Her neighbors on Elder Circle had planted a tree 218 00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:24,818 and placed a plaque in her name. 219 00:11:24,918 --> 00:11:27,254 [MUSIC - JON BON JOVI, "AUGUST 7, 4:15"] 220 00:11:33,260 --> 00:11:40,500 Tell me it was just a dream, August 7, 4:15. 221 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,437 God closed His eyes and the world got mean. 222 00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:46,406 August 7, 4:15. 223 00:11:49,476 --> 00:11:53,546 JON BON JOVI: I think if Paul and Nancy, as parents, knew how 224 00:11:53,646 --> 00:11:57,717 it happened, perhaps it could help them with the closure 225 00:11:57,818 --> 00:11:59,352 of this tragic event. 226 00:11:59,452 --> 00:12:02,189 Nothing that anyone can say or do 227 00:12:02,289 --> 00:12:05,125 is ever going to bring their daughter back to them, 228 00:12:05,225 --> 00:12:08,261 but it's twice as hard not knowing what happened. 229 00:12:10,998 --> 00:12:13,266 NANCY KORZILIUS: I think of families of people 230 00:12:13,366 --> 00:12:15,435 who are missing in action. 231 00:12:15,535 --> 00:12:18,872 Well, they're not here, but what happened to them? 232 00:12:18,972 --> 00:12:20,740 And that's exactly, to a certain extent, 233 00:12:20,841 --> 00:12:22,776 how I feel about our daughter. 234 00:12:22,876 --> 00:12:25,745 I had Katherine's body, but something happened 235 00:12:25,846 --> 00:12:28,181 in the last 15 minutes of her life 236 00:12:28,281 --> 00:12:29,917 that I don't know what that was. 237 00:12:36,156 --> 00:12:37,124 [music playing] 238 00:12:37,224 --> 00:12:38,425 ROBERT STACK: He's charming and attractive 239 00:12:38,525 --> 00:12:41,528 and may be out to steal

00:13:00,613 especially if they belong to someone else. 246 00:13:00,713 --> 00:13:04,151 His name is Alan Golder, and his prior profession 247 00:13:04,251 --> 00:13:06,253 was jewel thief. 248 00:13:06,353 --> 00:13:09,156 Police believe he's at it again. 249 00:13:09,256 --> 00:13:12,692 During the daytime, the cases fashionable neighborhoods so at 250 00:13:12,792 --> 00:13:15,929 night, he can find the perfect moment to strike. 251 00:13:16,029 --> 00:13:18,598 While he's upstairs, the owners of the home 252 00:13:18,698 --> 00:13:20,667 are downstairs having dinner. 253 00:13:20,767

00:13:36,984 burglar in the United States. 259 00:13:37,084 --> 00:13:41,821 From 1976 to 1980, Golder made millions stealing jewelry. 260 00:13:41,922 --> 00:13:44,491 He was caught and served 15 years in prison, 261 00:13:44,591 --> 00:13:47,160 but since his release in 1996, Golder 262 00:13:47,260 --> 00:13:50,864 may have reclaimed his title as a Dinnertime Bandit. 263 00:13:50,964 --> 00:13:53,833 Police are seeking your help to catch a thief. 264 00:13:53,934 --> 00:13:56,536 [music playing] 265 00:13:56,636 --> 00:13:57,737 ROBERT STACK: Golder's life of crime 266 00:13:57,837 --> 00:14:00,874 began early, at the age of six. 267 00:14:00,974 --> 00:14:02,943 He grew up poor in Long Island, New York. 268 00:14:06,713 --> 00:14:08,715 His father, a career criminal, had abandoned 269 00:14:08,815 --> 00:14:10,317 the family when Alan was three. 270 00:14:13,887 --> 00:14:17,124 At 16, Golder dropped out of high school. 271 00:14:17,224 --> 00:14:20,493 Even at that young age, he was earning anywhere 272 00:14:20,593 --> 00:14:23,496 from a few hundred to several thousand dollars a night 273 00:14:23,596 --> 00:14:24,397 by stealing. 274 00:14:27,901 --> 00:14:32,139 At 21, Alan Golder he had found his niche, 275 00:14:32,239 --> 00:14:34,407 burglarizing the homes of wealthy people 276 00:14:34,507 --> 00:14:36,776 in Greenwich, Connecticut. 277 00:14:36,876 --> 00:14:38,578 JAMES WALTERS: He thinks he is today's 278 00:14:38,678 --> 00:14:40,180 answer to the Pink Panther. 279 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,151 He's in it for the thrill that he gets out of it as I think 280 00:14:44,251 --> 00:14:46,219 about things now, in some ways, I'm 281 00:14:46,319 --> 00:14:48,688 amazed Alan hasn't come forward just because he's missing all 282 00:14:48,788 --> 00:14:50,257 these wonderful opportunities to be interviewed 283 00:14:50,357 --> 00:14:52,525 by different TV shows. 284 00:14:52,625 --> 00:14:55,028 ROBERT STACK: Between 1976 and 1980, 285 00:14:55,128 --> 00:14:57,330 Alan Golder had some very good years. 286 00:15:00,633 --> 00:15:03,236 It's estimated that he stole at least $25 million 287 00:15:03,336 --> 00:15:08,475 worth of jewels and gems from the richest people in America. 288 00:15:08,575 --> 00:15:09,977 ANNA DEJESUS: When you think about the crimes 289 00:15:10,077 --> 00:15:11,844 that he committed, the ordinary person 290 00:15:11,945 --> 00:15:14,948 would have said, well, with as much money as he's gotten, 291 00:15:15,048 --> 00:15:16,749 why didn't he stop? 292 00:15:16,849 --> 00:15:18,918 It was like an art for him. 293 00:15:19,019 --> 00:15:21,888 And in another way, it was almost compulsive 294 00:15:21,989 --> 00:15:24,191 for him, as if he's suffering from some sort 295 00:15:24,291 --> 00:15:25,158 of compulsive disorder. 296 00:15:28,295 --> 00:15:29,629 ROBERT STACK: Golder's reputation caught 297 00:15:29,729 --> 00:15:31,731 the attention of the mob. 298 00:15:31,831 --> 00:15:33,766 It happened when he tried to fence some stolen 299 00:15:33,866 --> 00:15:36,603 jewelry at a shop in New York. 300 00:15:36,703 --> 00:15:37,804 BILL KNOEDELSEDER: What it turns out 301 00:15:37,904 --> 00:15:39,306 is that this particular jewel store was 302 00:15:39,406 --> 00:15:43,276 a front for the Genovese family's international jewel 303 00:15:43,376 --> 00:15:45,045 fencing operation. 304 00:15:45,145 --> 00:15:48,781 So being 19-years-old, or whatever he was at the time, 305 00:15:48,881 --> 00:15:50,817 he didn't really know what he was getting into at that point. 306 00:15:50,917 --> 00:15:53,653 He was just trying to sell some jewels, but what he did was 307 00:15:53,753 --> 00:15:57,557 he was, in fact, getting embedded with the mafia. 308 00:15:57,657 --> 00:15:59,259 ROBERT STACK: The mob liked Golder's ambition 309 00:15:59,359 --> 00:16:02,795 and took him under their wing. 310 00:16:02,895 --> 00:16:07,500 They wanted to change him into an international jewel thief. 311 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,236 BILL KNOEDELSEDER: He would go meet them in New York 312 00:16:09,336 --> 00:16:10,537 and he would hang out with them and they would 313 00:16:10,637 --> 00:16:11,704 take him out to a restaurant. 314 00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:14,741 It was sort of a Pygmalion thing that went on. 315 00:16:14,841 --> 00:16:17,044 They sort of groomed him for the business. 316 00:16:17,144 --> 00:16:19,646 You have to look for the three Cs in the diamond-- the color, 317 00:16:19,746 --> 00:16:21,448 the cut, and the clarity. 318 00:16:21,548 --> 00:16:25,218 Don't pick me up diamonds from a box on top of the dresser. 319 00:16:25,318 --> 00:16:26,486 These are never good. 320 00:16:26,586 --> 00:16:29,089 Nobody keeps expensive diamonds on top of the dresser. 321 00:16:29,189 --> 00:16:30,157 Very close. 322 00:16:30,257 --> 00:16:31,324 ROBERT STACK: But it was his relationship 323 00:16:31,424 --> 00:16:33,393 with a mafia that would lead to Golder's downfall. 324 00:16:36,896 --> 00:16:39,199 In 1978, Golder was being pressured 325 00:16:39,299 --> 00:16:42,635 to bring in more jewelry. 326 00:16:42,735 --> 00:16:44,604 He and two other mafia jewel thieves 327 00:16:44,704 --> 00:16:46,273 were instructed to hit a home in the Hamptons. 328 00:16:49,576 --> 00:16:52,112 It's believed that Golder never carried a weapon, 329 00:16:52,212 --> 00:16:53,913 but one of his accomplices did. 330 00:16:54,013 --> 00:16:56,015 [gunshots] 331 00:16:56,116 --> 00:16:57,917 BILL KNOEDELSEDER: Alan claims he never even saw the guy. 332 00:16:58,017 --> 00:16:59,252 That happened it happened in another room 333 00:16:59,352 --> 00:17:00,587 in another part of the house. 334 00:17:00,687 --> 00:17:03,190 And they didn't know if they killed him or not. 335 00:17:03,290 --> 00:17:07,194 But they found out the next day, that the man died. 336 00:17:07,294 --> 00:17:10,830 ROBERT STACK: Alan Golder's life spun out of control. 337 00:17:10,930 --> 00:17:15,435 He was doing drugs and going through money like water. 338 00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:18,438 Eventually, he was caught. 339 00:17:18,538 --> 00:17:20,373 Facing a murder charge, he looked for a way 340 00:17:20,473 --> 00:17:22,675 to reduce his sentence. 341 00:17:22,775 --> 00:17:24,010 Now you know that we've got you 342 00:17:24,111 --> 00:17:27,414 at the Lever estate two times previous, that we know of. 343 00:17:27,514 --> 00:17:30,983 I need you to tell me, specific names and specific numbers 344 00:17:31,084 --> 00:17:32,419 right there on that piece of paper. 345 00:17:35,788 --> 00:17:38,091 ROBERT STACK: In exchange for selling out the mob, 346 00:17:38,191 --> 00:17:40,660 Golder was given a sentence of 15 years to life. 347 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,129 BILL KNOEDELSEDER: You can assume that there 348 00:17:42,229 --> 00:17:43,696 was a contract out in his life. 349 00:17:43,796 --> 00:17:45,665 He became an official protective witness, 350 00:17:45,765 --> 00:17:47,667 and the entire time he was in prison, 351 00:17:47,767 --> 00:17:50,470 he was basically in protective custody. 352 00:17:50,570 --> 00:17:52,972 In prison, he wasn't housed with the regular inmates. 353 00:17:53,072 --> 00:17:56,008 He was housed with guys that were special cases. 354 00:17:56,109 --> 00:17:59,312 That they had to watch out for so that he wouldn't be killed. 355 00:17:59,412 --> 00:18:01,881 ROBERT STACK: But according to authorities, while in prison, 356 00:18:01,981 --> 00:18:04,584 Golder continued to sift through magazines profiling 357 00:18:04,684 --> 00:18:05,452 the homes of the wealthy. 358 00:18:08,188 --> 00:18:12,292 Following his parole in 1996, he tried to go straight 359 00:18:12,392 --> 00:18:14,060 or so he said. 360 00:18:14,161 --> 00:18:18,064 He even had a job in mind, working as a chimney sweep. 361 00:18:18,165 --> 00:18:19,432 ANNA DEJESUS: I explained to him, 362 00:18:19,532 --> 00:18:23,102 there are certain employment positions that you, 363 00:18:23,203 --> 00:18:26,373 because of your conviction and your criminal history, 364 00:18:26,473 --> 00:18:27,807 you cannot work. 365 00:18:27,907 --> 00:18:31,644 And entering into people's homes to clean chimneys 366 00:18:31,744 --> 00:18:33,346 is one of them. 367 00:18:33,446 --> 00:18:37,150 Then, after that, he had considered pursuing school. 368 00:18:37,250 --> 00:18:40,253 We had talked at length as to what sort of careers 369 00:18:40,353 --> 00:18:45,425 he could choose, but he was set on going to a gemology school, 370 00:18:45,525 --> 00:18:48,861 he wanted to study gems. 371 00:18:48,961 --> 00:18:51,398 ROBERT STACK: Not long after, police had another rash 372 00:18:51,498 --> 00:18:54,100 of high profile burglaries on their hands, 373 00:18:54,201 --> 00:18:58,305 but Alan Golder was not a suspect at the time. 374 00:18:58,405 --> 00:19:01,708 But in October 1997 in Greenwich, Connecticut, 375 00:19:01,808 --> 00:19:04,544 police believe Golder pushed his luck a bit too far. 376 00:19:17,457 --> 00:19:19,592 He allegedly was forced to tie up a homeowner 377 00:19:19,692 --> 00:19:20,760 and fled in her car. 378 00:19:24,564 --> 00:19:25,832 Now police believe the Dinnertime 379 00:19:25,932 --> 00:19:28,501 Bandit was back in business. 380 00:19:28,601 --> 00:19:31,037 Alan Golder apparently went underground. 381 00:19:34,874 --> 00:19:39,212 We can confirm, that in Greenwich, in 23 incidents 382 00:19:39,312 --> 00:19:40,980 of burglary or attempted burglaries, 383 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,816 Alan succeeded in removing over $750,000 384 00:19:43,916 --> 00:19:46,853 worth of jewelry from the houses that he hit here. 385 00:19:46,953 --> 00:19:49,456 ROBERT STACK: In his career, Golder has stolen more than $30 386 00:19:49,556 --> 00:19:51,891 million worth of jewelry. 387 00:19:51,991 --> 00:19:56,028 And police believe he has no intention of stopping. 388 00:19:56,128 --> 00:19:59,065 Alan Golder is wanted on 23 counts of burglary 389 00:19:59,165 --> 00:20:02,369 and one count of kidnapping. 390 00:20:02,469 --> 00:20:04,804 [music playing] 391 00:20:16,115 --> 00:20:17,016 [music playing] 392 00:20:17,116 --> 00:20:18,451 ROBERT STACK: Coming up. 393 00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:20,387 Some say there are codes in the Bible 394 00:20:20,487 --> 00:20:22,855 that predict major world events. 395 00:20:22,955 --> 00:20:26,058 You decide if it's true. 396 00:20:26,158 --> 00:20:28,528 [music playing] 397 00:20:31,531 --> 00:20:33,566 The Bible, for centuries, mankind 398 00:20:33,666 --> 00:20:35,802 has pondered its mysteries. 399 00:20:35,902 --> 00:20:39,205 For many, it's the word of God, but journalist Michael 400 00:20:39,306 --> 00:20:40,707 Drosnin is convinced that the Bible 401 00:20:40,807 --> 00:20:43,242 may hold still other mysteries. 402 00:20:43,343 --> 00:20:45,211 His controversial book, "The Bible Code," 403 00:20:45,312 --> 00:20:47,547 hit the best seller list soon after its publication 404 00:20:47,647 --> 00:20:50,116 in early 1997. 405 00:20:50,216 --> 00:20:53,420 Drosnin claims that there is a secret code within the Bible, 406 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,788 a code that has predicted the most important 407 00:20:55,888 --> 00:20:57,924 events of the 20th century. 408 00:20:58,024 --> 00:20:58,858 Here are some examples. 409 00:21:02,462 --> 00:21:04,030 MICHAEL DROSNIN: The greatest terrorist event 410 00:21:04,130 --> 00:21:06,999 in American history, the Oklahoma City bombing, 411 00:21:07,099 --> 00:21:09,702 was encoded with the words-- terrible, frightening, death, 412 00:21:09,802 --> 00:21:10,637 and there will be terror. 413 00:21:13,306 --> 00:21:15,408 The great Kobe earthquake in Japan 414 00:21:15,508 --> 00:21:17,844 that killed more than 5,000 people, 415 00:21:17,944 --> 00:21:19,646 was encoded with the words-- 416 00:21:19,746 --> 00:21:22,715 earthquake, fire, Kobe, Japan, and the year 417 00:21:22,815 --> 00:21:28,187 that it took place, 1995. 418 00:21:28,287 --> 00:21:31,858 The Gulf War is encoded with the words-- 419 00:21:31,958 --> 00:21:34,727 Hussein, enemy, SCUDs. 420 00:21:38,097 --> 00:21:41,067 Ever since there was a Bible, people 421 00:21:41,167 --> 00:21:45,805 have been searching for secret hidden messages in the Bible. 422 00:21:45,905 --> 00:21:49,442 I can tell you that there is no doubt 423 00:21:49,542 --> 00:21:51,177 that the Bible code does exist. 424 00:21:51,277 --> 00:21:53,513 And that it does detail events that 425 00:21:53,613 --> 00:21:59,218 took place thousands of years after the Bible was written. 426 00:21:59,318 --> 00:22:01,654 [music playing] 427 00:22:05,692 --> 00:22:07,760 ROBERT STACK: In September of 1994, 428 00:22:07,860 --> 00:22:10,196 Michael Drosnin persuaded an intermediary 429 00:22:10,296 --> 00:22:13,566 to hand deliver a letter to Israeli prime minister, Yitzhak 430 00:22:13,666 --> 00:22:15,234 Rabin. 431 00:22:15,334 --> 00:22:17,470 MICHAEL DROSNIN: Mr. Prime Minister, 432 00:22:17,570 --> 00:22:19,606 an Israeli mathematician has discovered 433 00:22:19,706 --> 00:22:21,608 a hidden code in the Bible. 434 00:22:21,708 --> 00:22:25,344 The only time your full name, Yitzhak Rabin, 435 00:22:25,445 --> 00:22:27,146 is encoded in the Bible. 436 00:22:27,246 --> 00:22:30,282 The words-- assassin that will assassinate-- 437 00:22:30,383 --> 00:22:34,554 cross your name, that should not be ignored. 438 00:22:34,654 --> 00:22:37,924 I think you are in real danger, but that the danger 439 00:22:38,024 --> 00:22:39,158 can be averted. 440 00:22:50,403 --> 00:22:53,272 ROBERT STACK: 14 months later, prime minister Yitzhak Rabin 441 00:22:53,372 --> 00:22:55,174 spoke at a peace rally in Tel Aviv. 442 00:22:58,745 --> 00:23:01,548 It was a last speech Rabin would ever get. 443 00:23:01,648 --> 00:23:03,315 As he left the podium that night, 444 00:23:03,416 --> 00:23:06,318 he was gunned down by an assassin. 445 00:23:06,419 --> 00:23:08,721 Is it possible that this event was foretold 446 00:23:08,821 --> 00:23:12,391 nearly 3,000 years ago? 447 00:23:12,492 --> 00:23:13,860 [music playing] 448 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,063 The Torah, it is said to be the word of God 449 00:23:17,163 --> 00:23:19,966 brought down from Mount Sinai by Moses. 450 00:23:20,066 --> 00:23:23,703 And incorporating the first five books of the Old Testament. 451 00:23:23,803 --> 00:23:26,105 Hebrew scholars maintain that the Torah 452 00:23:26,205 --> 00:23:27,474 predates the birth of Christ. 453 00:23:30,743 --> 00:23:35,848 Prague, Czechoslovakia 1938, Rabbi HMD Weissmandl 454 00:23:35,948 --> 00:23:38,117 discover the first known example of Bible 455 00:23:38,217 --> 00:23:41,053 coding in the modern era. 456 00:23:41,153 --> 00:23:44,356 The word, Torah, was spelled out when he skipped every 50 457 00:23:44,457 --> 00:23:47,727 letters in the book of Genesis. 458 00:23:47,827 --> 00:23:49,796 Skipping the same number of letters in the books 459 00:23:49,896 --> 00:23:51,998 of Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, 460 00:23:52,098 --> 00:23:55,802 brought the same result. Coincidence? 461 00:23:55,902 --> 00:23:56,769 The odds were against it. 462 00:24:00,873 --> 00:24:04,043 Over the next 50 years, advances in computer technology 463 00:24:04,143 --> 00:24:05,745 lead to the next major breakthrough 464 00:24:05,845 --> 00:24:08,347 in cracking the Bible code. 465 00:24:08,447 --> 00:24:12,351 Israeli scientists Doron Witztum and Eliyahu Rips became 466 00:24:12,451 --> 00:24:15,488 intrigued by Weissmandl's work. 467 00:24:15,588 --> 00:24:17,223 They used a computer program called, 468 00:24:17,323 --> 00:24:20,392 a skip code, to find words and patterns in the Hebrew 469 00:24:20,493 --> 00:24:22,328 text of the Torah. 470 00:24:22,428 --> 00:24:26,098 A skip code tells a computer to start with any letter of a text 471 00:24:26,198 --> 00:24:29,736 and then, skip through the letters at chosen intervals. 472 00:24:29,836 --> 00:24:32,572 In his book, Michael Drosnin uses this example 473 00:24:32,672 --> 00:24:34,206 to show how it works. 474 00:24:34,306 --> 00:24:36,843 If you skip every three letters of this sentence, 475 00:24:36,943 --> 00:24:38,811 it would look like this. 476 00:24:38,911 --> 00:24:41,113 You are left with a new sentence. 477 00:24:41,213 --> 00:24:46,385 In this case, the encoded message is, read the code. 478 00:24:46,485 --> 00:24:49,188 The Israeli mathematicians ran a script called searching 479 00:24:49,288 --> 00:24:51,891 for the names of 34 prominent Jewish rabbis 480 00:24:51,991 --> 00:24:54,861 spanning the last 1,100 years. 481 00:24:54,961 --> 00:24:57,664 Amazingly, all the names were found embedded 482 00:24:57,764 --> 00:24:59,699 in the book of Genesis. 483 00:24:59,799 --> 00:25:02,769 When the computer found the encoded names of the rabbis, 484 00:25:02,869 --> 00:25:07,640 it also found nearby, their Hebrew dates of birth or death. 485 00:25:07,740 --> 00:25:09,408 The scientists ran the search again 486 00:25:09,508 --> 00:25:11,377 with a new list of rabbis. 487 00:25:11,477 --> 00:25:13,546 The results were the same. 488 00:25:13,646 --> 00:25:15,782 According to Michael Drosnin, the odds 489 00:25:15,882 --> 00:25:19,018 of finding the dates with the names were 10 million to one. 490 00:25:21,888 --> 00:25:23,322 When these findings were published, 491 00:25:23,422 --> 00:25:26,192 they aroused the attention of researchers around the world, 492 00:25:26,292 --> 00:25:28,127 including Harold Gans. 493 00:25:28,227 --> 00:25:31,263 Gans is a former senior cryptologic mathematician, 494 00:25:31,363 --> 00:25:35,167 a code breaker, at the US Department of Defense. 495 00:25:35,267 --> 00:25:38,004 When I first heard about it, I dismissed 496 00:25:38,104 --> 00:25:40,607 it as simply ridiculous. 497 00:25:40,707 --> 00:25:42,041 ROBERT STACK: Gans wrote his own computer 498 00:25:42,141 --> 00:25:44,276 program to test the validity of the code, 499 00:25:44,376 --> 00:25:46,613 and had identical results. 500 00:25:46,713 --> 00:25:49,616 Then in close proximity to the rabbis, one of whom 501 00:25:49,716 --> 00:25:55,154 was a distant relative, he found the encoded names of cities. 502 00:25:55,254 --> 00:25:57,256 He later learned that these were the same cities 503 00:25:57,356 --> 00:26:00,392 where the rabbis either had been born or died. 504 00:26:00,492 --> 00:26:04,296 The odds here were more than a million to one. 505 00:26:04,396 --> 00:26:07,066 HAROLD GANS: I set out to prove that it was nonsense, instead, 506 00:26:07,166 --> 00:26:09,669 I ended up proving that, in fact, it was true. 507 00:26:09,769 --> 00:26:11,904 I must admit, I felt a chill go up my spine 508 00:26:12,004 --> 00:26:15,174 when I saw it corroborated. 509 00:26:15,274 --> 00:26:16,776 ROBERT STACK: Journalist Michael Drosnin took 510 00:26:16,876 --> 00:26:19,011 the research a step further. 511 00:26:19,111 --> 00:26:21,247 Using the existing skip code programs, 512 00:26:21,347 --> 00:26:24,383 he searched for the names of historical figures. 513 00:26:24,483 --> 00:26:28,387 The results were tantalizing, but not entirely convincing, 514 00:26:28,487 --> 00:26:30,823 at first. 515 00:26:30,923 --> 00:26:33,125 MICHAEL DROSNIN: I did not fully believe 516 00:26:33,225 --> 00:26:36,863 the Bible code was real until the day 517 00:26:36,963 --> 00:26:41,500 that Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated. 518 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,471 The one time his name appeared in the Bible, the words, 519 00:26:45,571 --> 00:26:51,010 assassin will assassinate, ran right across his name. 520 00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:53,545 ROBERT STACK: Drosnin embarked on his own ambitious research 521 00:26:53,646 --> 00:26:55,948 into the mysteries of the Bible code. 522 00:26:56,048 --> 00:26:58,517 He now included a wide range of history's 523 00:26:58,617 --> 00:27:02,088 most important personalities and pivotal events. 524 00:27:02,188 --> 00:27:05,257 If Drosnin is correct, everything that follows 525 00:27:05,357 --> 00:27:09,295 was predicted nearly 3,000 years ago. 526 00:27:09,395 --> 00:27:11,698 According to Drosnin, Adolf Hitler 527 00:27:11,798 --> 00:27:13,099 is encoded with the words-- 528 00:27:13,199 --> 00:27:20,006 Nazi and enemy, evil man, and slaughter. 529 00:27:20,106 --> 00:27:22,041 Pearl Harbor is encoded with the words-- 530 00:27:22,141 --> 00:27:28,247 destruction of the fortress, World War, and December 7. 531 00:27:28,347 --> 00:27:31,951 According to Drosnin, Watergate is encoded with Nixon, 532 00:27:32,051 --> 00:27:33,720 and who was he? 533 00:27:33,820 --> 00:27:37,356 President, but he was kicked out. 534 00:27:37,456 --> 00:27:39,558 In the case of the Oklahoma City bombing, 535 00:27:39,658 --> 00:27:42,829 Drosnin claims the code is surprisingly accurate. 536 00:27:42,929 --> 00:27:45,765 He says it includes a name of the building that was blown up, 537 00:27:45,865 --> 00:27:47,900 the Murrah Building. 538 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,402 The date and time of the attack. 539 00:27:50,502 --> 00:27:52,671 And even the name of the man convicted 540 00:27:52,772 --> 00:27:56,575 of the crime, Timothy McVeigh. 541 00:27:56,675 --> 00:27:59,846 But not everything in the code is gloom and doom. 542 00:27:59,946 --> 00:28:02,081 Drosnin notes that Shakespeare is encoded 543 00:28:02,181 --> 00:28:04,917 with Macbeth and Hamlet. 544 00:28:05,017 --> 00:28:08,921 The Wright Brothers are encoded with airplane. 545 00:28:09,021 --> 00:28:10,990 And the phrase, man on the moon, appears 546 00:28:11,090 --> 00:28:15,327 with spaceship and Apollo 11. 547 00:28:15,427 --> 00:28:19,631 But there are those who question Drosnin's claims. 548 00:28:19,732 --> 00:28:21,868 Humans are pattern seeking animals. 549 00:28:21,968 --> 00:28:25,271 We look for cause and effect relationships 550 00:28:25,371 --> 00:28:27,673 in our environment, meaningful ones. 551 00:28:27,774 --> 00:28:29,208 ROBERT STACK: Michael Shermer is a publisher 552 00:28:29,308 --> 00:28:31,410 of "Skeptic Magazine." 553 00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:33,645 He believes the Bible code is an example 554 00:28:33,746 --> 00:28:36,215 of self-fulfilling prophecy. 555 00:28:36,315 --> 00:28:39,919 The Bible code is nothing more than a form of seek and ye 556 00:28:40,019 --> 00:28:41,320 shall find. 557 00:28:41,420 --> 00:28:43,990 Whether you're using the Bible, or the dictionary, the Yellow 558 00:28:44,090 --> 00:28:46,125 Pages, some other novels, all you 559 00:28:46,225 --> 00:28:48,761 need is a long string of letters and then, you 560 00:28:48,861 --> 00:28:52,598 can run your computer skip code sequence program 561 00:28:52,698 --> 00:28:55,534 and come up with all kinds of things. 562 00:28:55,634 --> 00:28:57,837 ROBERT STACK: Michael Drosnin disagrees. 563 00:28:57,937 --> 00:29:00,706 He says he ran the skip code program on several books, 564 00:29:00,807 --> 00:29:04,043 including Tolstoy's epic novel, "War and Peace," 565 00:29:04,143 --> 00:29:06,645 he claims he found nothing of significance. 566 00:29:06,745 --> 00:29:09,215 Drosnin is convinced that the secret code 567 00:29:09,315 --> 00:29:11,818 is exclusive to the Bible. 568 00:29:11,918 --> 00:29:14,286 MICHAEL DROSNIN: Every major figure in world history 569 00:29:14,386 --> 00:29:18,290 I have looked for, every major event in world history, 570 00:29:18,390 --> 00:29:23,029 I have looked for, has been encoded accurately 571 00:29:23,129 --> 00:29:26,565 in remarkable detail in the Bible. 572 00:29:26,665 --> 00:29:27,800 ROBERT STACK: To date, Drosnin says 573 00:29:27,900 --> 00:29:30,202 he has uncovered hundreds of encoded references 574 00:29:30,302 --> 00:29:33,339 to historical persons and events. 575 00:29:33,439 --> 00:29:35,908 What then, are we to make of the dire predictions 576 00:29:36,008 --> 00:29:40,212 he believes the Bible code makes for our future? 577 00:29:40,312 --> 00:29:42,448 MICHAEL DROSNIN: The most terrible warning 578 00:29:42,548 --> 00:29:47,486 that's encoded in the Bible is of a possible nuclear World 579 00:29:47,586 --> 00:29:51,357 War within the next 10 years. 580 00:29:51,457 --> 00:29:55,761 The words, World War and atomic Holocaust, 581 00:29:55,862 --> 00:29:58,764 are both encoded in the Bible with the same two 582 00:29:58,865 --> 00:30:03,836 years, the years 2000 and 2006. 583 00:30:03,936 --> 00:30:09,141 I'm not calling that a prediction, but a warning. 584 00:30:09,241 --> 00:30:11,343 That's what I think the Bible code really 585 00:30:11,443 --> 00:30:17,416 is, a series of warnings, of dangers we can prevent if we 586 00:30:17,516 --> 00:30:20,086 take the warnings seriously. 587 00:30:20,186 --> 00:30:21,453 Well, now, wait a minute. 588 00:30:21,553 --> 00:30:24,356 You can't prophesize the end will come, 589 00:30:24,456 --> 00:30:27,126 the end might not come, the end might be delayed, 590 00:30:27,226 --> 00:30:28,427 or the end might not come at all. 591 00:30:28,527 --> 00:30:30,963 You've now made all possible predictions, 592 00:30:31,063 --> 00:30:32,298 which is no prediction at all. 593 00:30:32,398 --> 00:30:34,133 That's not prophecy. 594 00:30:34,233 --> 00:30:36,735 The Bible code, as far as I'm concerned, 595 00:30:36,835 --> 00:30:39,638 does not predict anything. 596 00:30:39,738 --> 00:30:43,375 It warns us of possible dangers. 597 00:30:43,475 --> 00:30:46,913 It doesn't give us one pre-determined future, but all 598 00:30:47,013 --> 00:30:48,214 of our possible futures. 599 00:30:48,314 --> 00:30:50,249 [music playing] 600 00:30:50,349 --> 00:30:52,151 HAROLD GANS: Mr. Drosnin is a journalist. 601 00:30:52,251 --> 00:30:54,286 He is reporting on a very complex 602 00:30:54,386 --> 00:30:57,856 mathematical work of world renowned mathematicians. 603 00:30:57,957 --> 00:31:00,059 He has not used scientific methodology. 604 00:31:00,159 --> 00:31:05,031 And his actual conclusions are logically unsound. 605 00:31:05,131 --> 00:31:10,669 It is far better, in my mind, to sound a false warning, 606 00:31:10,769 --> 00:31:15,707 than to fail to warn of a real danger. 607 00:31:15,807 --> 00:31:19,411 People sometimes say to me, where's the good news 608 00:31:19,511 --> 00:31:20,679 in the Bible code? 609 00:31:20,779 --> 00:31:25,217 Why all these predictions of terrible catastrophes? 610 00:31:25,317 --> 00:31:31,323 And I say, the good news is that some intelligence cared enough 611 00:31:31,423 --> 00:31:35,627 about us, to encode the Bible and leave us 612 00:31:35,727 --> 00:31:38,097 these warnings so that these dangers 613 00:31:38,197 --> 00:31:40,299 could, in fact, be prevented. 614 00:31:43,669 --> 00:31:45,871 [music playing] 615 00:31:47,106 --> 00:31:50,576 Teenagers may runaway, toddlers may wander off, 616 00:31:50,676 --> 00:31:52,844 but if a baby disappears, more often than not, 617 00:31:52,945 --> 00:31:55,414 foul play is involved. 618 00:31:55,514 --> 00:31:57,349 A couple in a suburb of Tampa, Florida 619 00:31:57,449 --> 00:31:59,685 claims someone took their baby. 620 00:31:59,785 --> 00:32:02,188 Kidnapped her in the dead of night. 621 00:32:02,288 --> 00:32:05,958 Only one thing is certain, the baby is missing. 622 00:32:06,058 --> 00:32:07,259 [music playing] 623 00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:10,997 ROBERT STACK: November 24, 1997, Marlene Aisenberg says 624 00:32:11,097 --> 00:32:13,199 she got up shortly after 6:00 that morning 625 00:32:13,299 --> 00:32:15,167 and went into the kitchen. 626 00:32:15,267 --> 00:32:19,738 MARLENE AISENBERG: I noticed the laundry room door to the garage 627 00:32:19,838 --> 00:32:24,676 is open and I'm like, what's that doing open? 628 00:32:24,776 --> 00:32:27,079 And I just run to the first bedroom 629 00:32:27,179 --> 00:32:30,582 and I look in Sabrina's crib and she was gone. 630 00:32:30,682 --> 00:32:31,883 And I was just-- 631 00:32:31,984 --> 00:32:32,784 I was hysterical. 632 00:32:32,884 --> 00:32:34,253 Steve, Sabrina's missing! 633 00:32:34,353 --> 00:32:36,888 Sabrina's gone! 634 00:32:36,989 --> 00:32:38,824 ROBERT STACK: Sabrina, Steve and Marlene 635 00:32:38,924 --> 00:32:43,595 Aisenberg's third child, barely five months old, had vanished, 636 00:32:43,695 --> 00:32:46,598 taken from her own crib. 637 00:32:46,698 --> 00:32:50,602 The Aisenberg's home was now a crime scene. 638 00:32:50,702 --> 00:32:53,339 This frightened lot of people, terrified 639 00:32:53,439 --> 00:32:54,640 a lot of young parents. 640 00:32:54,740 --> 00:32:57,676 It was chilling for people who lived in that community. 641 00:32:57,776 --> 00:33:01,580 It was a quiet, safe, out-of-the-way place. 642 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:02,848 And then, a baby disappears. 643 00:33:06,052 --> 00:33:08,487 ROBERT STACK: How could a baby just disappear? 644 00:33:08,587 --> 00:33:12,058 The Aisenbergs had left their garage door open overnight. 645 00:33:12,158 --> 00:33:15,394 The interior door may also have been left unlocked, 646 00:33:15,494 --> 00:33:18,597 but there were no clues about an intruder. 647 00:33:18,697 --> 00:33:19,965 Who took baby Sabrina? 648 00:33:23,269 --> 00:33:25,704 Marlene Aisenberg says the investigation suddenly 649 00:33:25,804 --> 00:33:29,208 took an unexpected turn, she and her husband 650 00:33:29,308 --> 00:33:31,910 became prime suspects. 651 00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:33,079 No forced entry. 652 00:33:33,179 --> 00:33:35,047 No ransom note. 653 00:33:35,147 --> 00:33:37,749 We think you had something to do with the disappearance 654 00:33:37,849 --> 00:33:40,286 of Sabrina. 655 00:33:40,386 --> 00:33:42,921 Why don't you just tell us where Sabrina is. 656 00:33:43,021 --> 00:33:44,723 MARLENE AISENBERG: To me, it was the most unbelievable 657 00:33:44,823 --> 00:33:47,626 thing I could have ever heard. 658 00:33:47,726 --> 00:33:50,028 I was like, I have no idea where Sabrina is. 659 00:33:50,129 --> 00:33:53,632 I have no idea who took her, that's why you're here. 660 00:33:53,732 --> 00:33:55,234 Help. 661 00:33:55,334 --> 00:33:57,869 Find her. 662 00:33:57,969 --> 00:33:59,705 ROBERT STACK: Deputies removed a number of items 663 00:33:59,805 --> 00:34:01,907 from the Aisenberg home, including 664 00:34:02,007 --> 00:34:04,376 Sabrina's crib and bedding. 665 00:34:04,476 --> 00:34:09,448 They were sent to the FBI lab at Quantico for analysis. 666 00:34:09,548 --> 00:34:12,151 As a search for baby Sabrina continued, 667 00:34:12,251 --> 00:34:17,189 the Aisenberg's taped a public appeal pleading for her return. 668 00:34:17,289 --> 00:34:20,392 This morning, someone came into our home 669 00:34:20,492 --> 00:34:23,995 and took our baby, Sabrina Paige, out of her crib. 670 00:34:24,096 --> 00:34:25,864 ROBERT STACK: The plea might have inspired sympathy 671 00:34:25,964 --> 00:34:28,667 for the Aisenbergs, it did not. 672 00:34:28,767 --> 00:34:29,968 MARTY ROSEN: Some people felt that they 673 00:34:30,068 --> 00:34:31,237 were guilty of something. 674 00:34:31,337 --> 00:34:33,605 Some people felt that they were involved in some way 675 00:34:33,705 --> 00:34:37,209 in Sabrina's disappearance. 676 00:34:37,309 --> 00:34:38,877 ROBERT STACK: The day after Sabrina vanished, 677 00:34:38,977 --> 00:34:41,012 the media taped the Aisenbergs smiling 678 00:34:41,113 --> 00:34:42,981 as they left their home. 679 00:34:43,081 --> 00:34:48,053 Public opinion counted it as another strike against them. 680 00:34:48,154 --> 00:34:50,822 A lot of people in the community saw that clip 681 00:34:50,922 --> 00:34:53,425 and saw Steve's smile and they saw Marlene 682 00:34:53,525 --> 00:34:56,862 with a quick flash of a smile, and they jumped to conclusions. 683 00:34:56,962 --> 00:34:59,631 They said, why would these people be smiling? 684 00:34:59,731 --> 00:35:02,033 There must be something wrong here. 685 00:35:02,134 --> 00:35:03,669 Are you withholding any information? 686 00:35:03,769 --> 00:35:05,171 ROBERT STACK: The Aisenbergs voluntarily 687 00:35:05,271 --> 00:35:07,639 took a polygraph test. 688 00:35:07,739 --> 00:35:09,575 Did you help take your daughter from your home 689 00:35:09,675 --> 00:35:10,542 that night? 690 00:35:10,642 --> 00:35:11,677 No. 691 00:35:11,777 --> 00:35:13,179 Do you have any knowledge of your daughter's 692 00:35:13,279 --> 00:35:14,180 current location? 693 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:15,314 No. 694 00:35:15,414 --> 00:35:16,815 ROBERT STACK: In Marlene's case, the results 695 00:35:16,915 --> 00:35:18,850 are a matter of debate. 696 00:35:18,950 --> 00:35:20,619 MARLENE AISENBERG: They told me it was inconclusive, 697 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:21,987 and they told me that they expected 698 00:35:22,087 --> 00:35:28,727 it to be that because I was hysterical and everything. 699 00:35:28,827 --> 00:35:32,364 My baby's gone, they would expect that. 700 00:35:32,464 --> 00:35:34,366 Are you lying about your daughter's disappearance? 701 00:35:34,466 --> 00:35:35,501 ROBERT STACK: The Sheriff's office 702 00:35:35,601 --> 00:35:37,603 insists, Marlene Aisenberg's polygraph 703 00:35:37,703 --> 00:35:40,572 results were not inconclusive. 704 00:35:40,672 --> 00:35:45,010 But officials won't say whether she passed or failed. 705 00:35:45,110 --> 00:35:46,345 No. 706 00:35:46,445 --> 00:35:49,648 I don't give a damn about Hillsborough County polygraph. 707 00:35:49,748 --> 00:35:51,817 ROBERT STACK: Shortly after Sabrina disappeared, 708 00:35:51,917 --> 00:35:54,453 the Aisenbergs hired an attorney. 709 00:35:54,553 --> 00:35:57,323 To some, it was another sign of their guilt. 710 00:35:57,423 --> 00:36:01,227 The Aisenbergs say, the police left them no choice. 711 00:36:01,327 --> 00:36:03,028 When the police sit across from you 712 00:36:03,128 --> 00:36:05,664 and say, we believe you know where your daughter is 713 00:36:05,764 --> 00:36:07,499 and we believe you know who has her, 714 00:36:07,599 --> 00:36:11,837 there's a good reason to get an attorney. 715 00:36:11,937 --> 00:36:16,508 ROBERT STACK: Months passed and still no trace of the baby. 716 00:36:16,608 --> 00:36:19,545 MARTY ROSEN: The police held suffer press conferences fairly 717 00:36:19,645 --> 00:36:22,681 early on in the case and told the reporters 718 00:36:22,781 --> 00:36:25,083 that, in fact, they had evidence and that we 719 00:36:25,183 --> 00:36:26,285 should just hang on. 720 00:36:26,385 --> 00:36:28,220 That they were processing the evidence and that 721 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,256 it would be forthcoming. 722 00:36:30,356 --> 00:36:33,292 That was almost a year ago and I've not seen 723 00:36:33,392 --> 00:36:36,161 any of that evidence to date. 724 00:36:36,262 --> 00:36:37,263 ROBERT STACK: The police declined 725 00:36:37,363 --> 00:36:40,131 to comment on any evidence in this case, 726 00:36:40,232 --> 00:36:43,034 including the results of tests done in the FBI lab 727 00:36:43,134 --> 00:36:44,736 at Quantico. 728 00:36:44,836 --> 00:36:46,137 Unfortunately, most of the leads 729 00:36:46,238 --> 00:36:49,140 bring us back to a dead end and that brings 730 00:36:49,241 --> 00:36:50,776 us back to this community. 731 00:36:50,876 --> 00:36:53,011 And we feel that the answers to this crime 732 00:36:53,111 --> 00:36:55,547 are within this community. 733 00:36:55,647 --> 00:36:57,583 Our policy has always been that we 734 00:36:57,683 --> 00:36:59,718 don't list people as a suspect unless we 735 00:36:59,818 --> 00:37:01,520 have enough to charge them. 736 00:37:01,620 --> 00:37:03,822 We have not ruled the Aisenbergs out. 737 00:37:03,922 --> 00:37:07,693 They have failed to assist us in some ways 738 00:37:07,793 --> 00:37:12,598 and it makes it more difficult to rule them out as having 739 00:37:12,698 --> 00:37:14,366 some involvement in the case. 740 00:37:14,466 --> 00:37:16,034 [music playing] 741 00:37:16,134 --> 00:37:18,337 ROBERT STACK: The Aisenbergs continue to maintain, 742 00:37:18,437 --> 00:37:20,238 Sabrina was kidnapped. 743 00:37:22,408 --> 00:37:23,675 MARLENE AISENBERG: I believe that somebody 744 00:37:23,775 --> 00:37:27,078 came into our home and just took her. 745 00:37:27,178 --> 00:37:30,316 It had to be someone who wanted a baby so bad 746 00:37:30,416 --> 00:37:32,150 and they couldn't have one themselves. 747 00:37:32,250 --> 00:37:36,622 Or they needed money so bad that they would want to sell her. 748 00:37:36,722 --> 00:37:38,457 STEVE AISENBERG: It could be that somebody just watched 749 00:37:38,557 --> 00:37:41,393 Marlene and I and saw our habits of occasionally 750 00:37:41,493 --> 00:37:42,794 leaving the garage open. 751 00:37:42,894 --> 00:37:44,696 Knew we had a baby. 752 00:37:44,796 --> 00:37:49,401 Or it could have been somebody that knew us casually 753 00:37:49,501 --> 00:37:52,771 and then, through others, knew our habits. 754 00:37:52,871 --> 00:37:56,107 So anything is just pure speculation. 755 00:37:56,207 --> 00:37:58,344 [music playing] 756 00:37:59,345 --> 00:38:00,479 ROBERT STACK: Update. 757 00:38:00,579 --> 00:38:03,782 In September of 1999, a federal grand jury 758 00:38:03,882 --> 00:38:06,618 indicted Marlene and Steven Aisenberg on charges 759 00:38:06,718 --> 00:38:09,087 of conspiracy and lying to investigators 760 00:38:09,187 --> 00:38:12,057 about the disappearance of Sabrina. 761 00:38:12,157 --> 00:38:14,259 Two years later, a judge threw the indictment 762 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,563 out by lambasting prosecutors for misrepresenting 763 00:38:17,663 --> 00:38:19,698 the strength of their case. 764 00:38:19,798 --> 00:38:21,767 The US Attorney has agreed to reimburse 765 00:38:21,867 --> 00:38:24,370 the Aisenbergs for the cost of their legal counsel. 766 00:38:37,749 --> 00:38:40,085 [music playing] 767 00:38:42,654 --> 00:38:44,055 ROBERT STACK: 31-year-old Lee Carter 768 00:38:44,155 --> 00:38:46,124 Jr. was the kind of guy who always 769 00:38:46,224 --> 00:38:48,727 tried to do the right thing. 770 00:38:48,827 --> 00:38:55,266 But on the morning of July 28, 1993, 771 00:38:55,367 --> 00:39:00,506 it seems doing the right thing got Lee Carter, Jr. killed. 772 00:39:00,606 --> 00:39:03,108 A bomb, placed under the seat of his Porsche 773 00:39:03,208 --> 00:39:07,145 parked outside Carter's home, ended his life instantly. 774 00:39:07,245 --> 00:39:11,617 For members of Carter's family, the loss has been unbearable. 775 00:39:11,717 --> 00:39:14,586 LEE CARTER, SR: There's been no closure of any kind. 776 00:39:14,686 --> 00:39:17,088 I wake up in the morning, he's the first thing I think about. 777 00:39:17,188 --> 00:39:19,024 I go to bed at night, I'd say most the time, 778 00:39:19,124 --> 00:39:20,426 it's the first thing I'm thinking about, 779 00:39:20,526 --> 00:39:22,928 the last thing I'm thinking about. 780 00:39:23,028 --> 00:39:25,897 ROBERT STACK: Who would want to kill Lee Carter, Jr? 781 00:39:25,997 --> 00:39:29,701 Police in Carter's upstate New York hometown have a suspect. 782 00:39:29,801 --> 00:39:32,270 They would like your help in finding him. 783 00:39:32,370 --> 00:39:35,674 They believe he is a dangerous killer, a man they suspect 784 00:39:35,774 --> 00:39:38,009 is an enforcer for an outlaw branch of the Hell's 785 00:39:38,109 --> 00:39:40,412 Angels motorcycle gang. 786 00:39:40,512 --> 00:39:45,016 The man's name is Rick Vallee, and if you happen to know him, 787 00:39:45,116 --> 00:39:47,218 be careful. 788 00:39:47,318 --> 00:39:49,688 [music playing] 789 00:39:52,257 --> 00:39:55,727 In the early 1990s, police believe Vallee led the Angels 790 00:39:55,827 --> 00:39:58,764 in a battle for control of drugs and prostitution 791 00:39:58,864 --> 00:40:01,366 along the US-Canadian border. 792 00:40:01,467 --> 00:40:04,235 Police allege, Vallee's job was to kill people who 793 00:40:04,335 --> 00:40:07,873 double crossed the biker gang. 794 00:40:07,973 --> 00:40:09,875 Lee Carter, Jr. had been approached 795 00:40:09,975 --> 00:40:12,711 by associates of Rick Vallee who wanted to use 796 00:40:12,811 --> 00:40:15,213 his home as a safe house. 797 00:40:15,313 --> 00:40:16,982 It is alleged that Vallee and the gang 798 00:40:17,082 --> 00:40:21,086 had plans to smuggle 54 kilos of cocaine from the United States 799 00:40:21,186 --> 00:40:22,621 into Canada. 800 00:40:22,721 --> 00:40:26,458 Carter's home was close to the border. 801 00:40:26,558 --> 00:40:30,061 Carter went to the police and agreed to act as an informant. 802 00:40:30,161 --> 00:40:32,564 The drug deal was quickly thwarted 803 00:40:32,664 --> 00:40:37,235 and Rick Vallee was charged with conspiracy to import cocaine. 804 00:40:37,335 --> 00:40:40,105 My son didn't get into detail on it to me at all. 805 00:40:40,205 --> 00:40:42,407 He did tell me he was working with the state police. 806 00:40:42,508 --> 00:40:44,375 He told me he was helping them. 807 00:40:44,476 --> 00:40:49,314 And I started to ask him what it was about and he said, 808 00:40:49,414 --> 00:40:52,217 it was best that I didn't get involved in it. 809 00:40:52,317 --> 00:40:53,852 That what he was doing was with them 810 00:40:53,952 --> 00:40:56,354 and was on the up and up with law. 811 00:40:56,454 --> 00:40:58,590 ROBERT STACK: Before the case could go to trial, 812 00:40:58,690 --> 00:41:03,028 Lee Carter, Jr, the main witness, was eliminated. 813 00:41:03,128 --> 00:41:06,565 Police believe Rick Vallee, a known demolitions expert, 814 00:41:06,665 --> 00:41:09,535 planted the bomb that killed him. 815 00:41:09,635 --> 00:41:12,370 PETER PERSON: Rick Vallee obviously made the decision 816 00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:16,542 that if he took out the witness, had the witness killed, 817 00:41:16,642 --> 00:41:19,010 then there was nobody to testify against him in court, 818 00:41:19,110 --> 00:41:20,646 the drug charge would have to be dismissed, 819 00:41:20,746 --> 00:41:23,815 which, in effect, is what happened. 820 00:41:23,915 --> 00:41:25,684 ROBERT STACK: Two days after Carter's murder, 821 00:41:25,784 --> 00:41:28,286 with the star witness against him dead, 822 00:41:28,386 --> 00:41:31,056 the drug charges against Rick Vallee were dropped. 823 00:41:34,993 --> 00:41:38,630 Two years passed, during that time, New York state 824 00:41:38,730 --> 00:41:41,299 and Canadian authorities gathered enough evidence 825 00:41:41,399 --> 00:41:44,803 to charge Vallee with Carter's murder. 826 00:41:44,903 --> 00:41:47,773 Vallee was arrested in Canada and was awaiting extradition 827 00:41:47,873 --> 00:41:49,875 to the United States. 828 00:41:49,975 --> 00:41:52,611 While in custody, Rick Vallee had his jaw 829 00:41:52,711 --> 00:41:55,847 broken in a jailhouse fight. 830 00:41:55,947 --> 00:41:57,849 Over the next few weeks, he was treated 831 00:41:57,949 --> 00:42:00,518 at a local hospital where two guards 832 00:42:00,619 --> 00:42:03,521 would always accompany him. 833 00:42:03,622 --> 00:42:05,290 PETER PERSON: During the course of his visit, 834 00:42:05,390 --> 00:42:08,226 he had consistently set up where he would 835 00:42:08,326 --> 00:42:11,029 take a shower around 8:00. 836 00:42:11,129 --> 00:42:13,965 At this particular point, he had been on the phone 837 00:42:14,065 --> 00:42:16,401 and indicated to one of the guards 838 00:42:16,501 --> 00:42:20,005 that he would like the guard to wait there 839 00:42:20,105 --> 00:42:21,607 because he was waiting for an important phone 840 00:42:21,707 --> 00:42:24,375 call from his attorney. 841 00:42:24,475 --> 00:42:27,579 He then went to take a shower with the other guard. 842 00:42:27,679 --> 00:42:31,182 As both of them entered the shower room, 843 00:42:31,282 --> 00:42:34,986 the one guard was accosted. 844 00:42:35,086 --> 00:42:36,387 What took you? 845 00:42:36,487 --> 00:42:39,290 ROBERT STACK: With the help of an accomplice, Vallee escaped. 846 00:42:39,390 --> 00:42:43,328 It's the last time anyone has seen Rick Vallee. 847 00:42:43,428 --> 00:42:45,797 My gut sense is that he's out of the country, 848 00:42:45,897 --> 00:42:46,998 and that he's gone someplace else 849 00:42:47,098 --> 00:42:50,201 and has probably established a new identity. 850 00:42:50,301 --> 00:42:52,671 Obviously, we'd love to have somebody call us and tell 851 00:42:52,771 --> 00:42:56,574 us, well, Rick Vallee is in this house right now having dinner. 852 00:42:56,675 --> 00:43:00,445 And I can assure you that within moments, we'd be 853 00:43:00,545 --> 00:43:02,480 there and get him into custody. 854 00:43:02,580 --> 00:43:04,315 [music playing] 855 00:43:05,550 --> 00:43:08,286 LEE CARTER, SR: When I think of Richard Vallee, 856 00:43:08,386 --> 00:43:11,757 I think is an individual that thinks nothing of taking life. 857 00:43:11,857 --> 00:43:15,093 Thinks nothing of anyone else whatsoever. 858 00:43:15,193 --> 00:43:17,495 He is it and that's all. 859 00:43:17,595 --> 00:43:19,597 He has no values. 860 00:43:19,698 --> 00:43:22,067 It would help, considerably, to know 861 00:43:22,167 --> 00:43:23,534 that at least the individual wasn't 862 00:43:23,635 --> 00:43:26,271 out there living high on the hog while he 863 00:43:26,371 --> 00:43:28,206 is taking someone else's life. 864 00:43:28,306 --> 00:43:30,709 [music playing] 865 00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:56,702 [music playing] 866 00:43:56,802 -->

--> 00:44:11,316 On a previous broadcast, we asked for your help 870 00:44:11,416 --> 00:44:13,118 in finding a ruthless killer who'd escaped 871 00:44:13,218 --> 00:44:15,453 from an Oklahoma prison. 872 00:44:15,553 --> 00:44:18,123 Michael Wayne Brown was able to elude law enforcement 873 00:44:18,223 --> 00:44:21,426 authorities for over 15 years, but thanks 874 00:44:21,526 --> 00:44:23,762 to an "Unsolved Mysteries" viewer, 875 00:44:23,862 --> 00:44:25,731 Brown is now back behind bars. 876 00:44:31,837 --> 00:44:34,539 When he was only 18, Michael Wayne Brown 877 00:44:34,639 --> 00:44:37,142 and another teenager were in the middle of burglarizing 878 00:44:37,242 --> 00:44:39,477 an insurance office when an employee 879 00:44:39,577 --> 00:44:41,747 stopped by to pick up a file. 880 00:44:41,847 --> 00:44:43,048 Give me the gun. 881 00:44:43,148 --> 00:44:44,750 Turn around! 882 00:44:44,850 --> 00:44:47,185 [gunshot] 883 00:44:52,157 --> 00:44:53,491 ROBERT STACK: Brown was put on death row 884 00:44:53,591 --> 00:44:55,761 for murdering Richard Sullivan. 885 00:44:55,861 --> 00:44:57,796 However, that sentence was later commuted 886 00:44:57,896 --> 00:45:01,032 to life without parole. 887 00:45:01,132 --> 00:45:02,968 Michael Wayne Brown had served nine years 888 00:45:03,068 --> 00:45:04,870 in the Oklahoma State prison system 889 00:45:04,970 --> 00:45:07,138 when his luck began to change. 890 00:45:07,238 --> 00:45:10,475 A lonely widow named Donna Moses began writing him letters 891 00:45:10,575 --> 00:45:13,044 as part of her church groups attempt to help convicts 892 00:45:13,144 --> 00:45:15,513 find spiritual comfort. 893 00:45:15,613 --> 00:45:19,184 But these pen pals quickly became something more. 894 00:45:19,284 --> 00:45:20,351 SHERRY NICKERSON: She was lonely. 895 00:45:20,451 --> 00:45:23,454 She hadn't had anybody for a very long time. 896 00:45:23,554 --> 00:45:26,657 And she needed that companionship. 897 00:45:26,758 --> 00:45:29,227 Someone to talk to her about things 898 00:45:29,327 --> 00:45:31,162 and show her love and affection. 899 00:45:31,262 --> 00:45:32,798 And that's what she got from him. 900 00:45:32,898 --> 00:45:34,532 Do you, Michael Wayne Brown, take this woman to be 901 00:45:34,632 --> 00:45:35,901 your lawfully wedded wide? 902 00:45:36,001 --> 00:45:36,868 ROBERT STACK: Less than three months after meeting Brown, 903 00:45:36,968 --> 00:45:40,205 Donna Moses married him. 904 00:45:40,305 --> 00:45:43,574 In November of 1984, Brown was transferred 905 00:45:43,674 --> 00:45:47,445 to a minimum security prison that was a perfect opportunity, 906 00:45:47,545 --> 00:45:49,881 and he wasted little time. 907 00:45:49,981 --> 00:45:53,318 Michael Wayne Brown and another inmate jumped a four foot fence 908 00:45:53,418 --> 00:45:55,520 and raced for freedom. 909 00:45:55,620 --> 00:45:57,355 Authorities believe that Donna Moses 910 00:45:57,455 --> 00:46:00,158 Brown drove the getaway car. 911 00:46:00,258 --> 00:46:03,028 Within a year, the second convict was captured. 912 00:46:03,128 --> 00:46:04,996 For 15 years, authorities received 913 00:46:05,096 --> 00:46:06,697 numerous tips about the whereabouts 914 00:46:06,798 --> 00:46:08,666 of Michael and Donna Brown. 915 00:46:08,766 --> 00:46:11,903 And then, finally, one paid off. 916 00:46:12,003 --> 00:46:13,704 [music playing] 917 00:46:13,805 --> 00:46:15,040 Update. 918 00:46:15,140 --> 00:46:18,643 In 1999, an alert "Unsolved Mysteries" viewer 919 00:46:18,743 --> 00:46:21,346 chanced upon a photograph from our website. 920 00:46:21,446 --> 00:46:23,414 GREG: I couldn't believe it. 921 00:46:23,514 --> 00:46:26,517 It looked like him, but my mind said it's not him, 922 00:46:26,617 --> 00:46:28,453 but the picture said, it was him. 923 00:46:28,553 --> 00:46:30,221 Greg knew Donna and Michael Brown 924 00:46:30,321 --> 00:46:32,657 as Linda and Kenneth Ginter. 925 00:46:32,757 --> 00:46:35,326 The Ginter's owned a video store in the quiet suburb 926 00:46:35,426 --> 00:46:36,995 of Ketterling, Ohio. 927 00:46:37,095 --> 00:46:40,832 In fact, Greg's wife worked at the store. 928 00:46:40,932 --> 00:46:42,567 PETER PERSON: You'd never know he was a murderer. 929 00:46:42,667 --> 00:46:44,502 You would never know that. 930 00:46:44,602 --> 00:46:46,704 Like I said, he was like an icon in the community. 931 00:46:46,804 --> 00:46:47,939 Everybody liked him. 932 00:46:48,039 --> 00:46:49,875 The kids would come in there and high five him. 933 00:46:49,975 --> 00:46:50,876 He'd give them candy. 934 00:46:50,976 --> 00:46:53,244 And super nice guy. 935 00:46:53,344 --> 00:46:55,981 ROBERT STACK: Coincidentally, about 15 minutes after spotting 936 00:46:56,081 --> 00:46:58,884 the photos on the "Unsolved Mysteries" website, 937 00:46:58,984 --> 00:47:02,387 Greg received a phone call from Kenneth Ginter. 938 00:47:02,487 --> 00:47:04,455 The phone rings and it was him. 939 00:47:04,555 --> 00:47:07,125 And he was asking my wife to work that night. 940 00:47:07,225 --> 00:47:08,927 I told him that I seen a guy on the computer 941 00:47:09,027 --> 00:47:09,995 that looked like him. 942 00:47:10,095 --> 00:47:11,596 And I said, Michael Wayne Brown, and he 943 00:47:11,696 --> 00:47:13,198 kind of got quiet for a minute. 944 00:47:13,298 --> 00:47:15,800 And he says, well, Greg, everybody has a twin. 945 00:47:15,901 --> 00:47:17,368 So I left it at that. 946 00:47:17,468 --> 00:47:19,370 ROBERT STACK: Realizing that he had been recognized, 947 00:47:19,470 --> 00:47:21,839 Brown quietly dropped from sight, 948 00:47:21,940 --> 00:47:24,675 but knowing that the FBI was one step behind him, 949 00:47:24,775 --> 00:47:28,246 he turned himself in. 950 00:47:28,346 --> 00:47:30,415 Brown is serving the remainder of his sentence 951 00:47:30,515 --> 00:47:32,417 at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary 952 00:47:32,517 -->
