00:00:04,538 --> 00:00:07,208
NARRATOR: This program is
about unsolved mysteries.

2
00:00:07,308 --> 00:00:09,310
Whenever possible, the
actual family members

3
00:00:09,410 --> 00:00:11,245
and police officials
have participated

4
00:00:11,345 --> 00:00:12,780
in recreating the events.

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,284
What you are about to see
is not a news broadcast.

00:00:20,721 --> 00:00:22,390
NARRATOR: Tonight on
"Unsolved Mysteries,"

8
00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:24,525
we continue our
examination into New York's

9
00:00:24,625 --> 00:00:26,727
infamous son of Sam shootings.

10
00:00:26,827 --> 00:00:29,097
New evidence suggests that
the Son of Sam killer,

11
00:00:29,197 --> 00:00:31,765
David Berkowitz, was
part of a satanic cult

12
00:00:31,865 --> 00:00:35,303
that murdered six people.

13
00:00:35,403 --> 00:00:37,538
At an inn near
Philadelphia, the head

14
00:00:37,638 --> 00:00:39,440
waitress sees a
Revolutionary War

15
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:43,344
soldier on the main staircase.

16
00:00:43,444 --> 00:00:46,547
In Jackson, Mississippi, a
wealthy woman is kidnapped.

17
00:00:46,647 --> 00:00:49,683
Her millionaire husband gives
into the kidnapper's demands.

18
00:00:49,783 --> 00:00:52,920
Annie Hearin is still missing.

19
00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:54,555
These intriguing
stories all need

20
00:00:54,655 --> 00:00:57,391
one final clue, one final
piece of information

21
00:00:57,491 --> 00:00:59,260
before they can be solved.

22
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,895
Perhaps someone watching
tonight can help.

23
00:01:01,995 --> 00:01:03,364
Perhaps it's you.

24
00:01:03,464 --> 00:01:05,866
[theme music]

25
00:01:50,211 --> 00:01:52,846
For over 100 years, people
have seen and heard things

26
00:01:52,946 --> 00:01:55,683
around the General Wayne Inn in
Philadelphia that they cannot

27
00:01:55,783 --> 00:01:58,819
explain, a number
of different ghosts

28
00:01:58,919 --> 00:02:01,922
who seem to have an unusual
agenda of mischief in mind.

29
00:02:10,231 --> 00:02:13,567
Located in Merion, Pennsylvania,
the General Wayne Inn

30
00:02:13,667 --> 00:02:16,504
opened in 1704 and
is reputed to be

31
00:02:16,604 --> 00:02:18,706
the oldest,
continuously-functioning inn

32
00:02:18,806 --> 00:02:20,674
in America.

33
00:02:20,774 --> 00:02:23,977
Ben Franklin visited the
inn, and George Washington

34
00:02:24,077 --> 00:02:27,948
slept in what is today
this dining room.

35
00:02:28,048 --> 00:02:31,319
Edgar Allan Poe wrote part of
his famous poem, "The Raven,"

36
00:02:31,419 --> 00:02:36,624
here in 1836.

37
00:02:36,724 --> 00:02:38,892
But it is a history of
hauntings that brings

38
00:02:38,992 --> 00:02:40,127
us to the General Wayne Inn.

39
00:02:43,431 --> 00:02:45,766
Barton Johnson is the
innkeeper and serves

40
00:02:45,866 --> 00:02:50,003
as vice president of the
local historical society.

41
00:02:50,103 --> 00:02:53,341
We have had towels thrown
all over the kitchen.

42
00:02:53,441 --> 00:02:56,210
We have had adding
machine problems.

43
00:02:56,310 --> 00:02:58,111
We've had television
problems directly

44
00:02:58,212 --> 00:03:01,582
attributable to something
that is not understandable.

45
00:03:01,682 --> 00:03:06,587
We have had reports of
sightings of entities, ghosts.

46
00:03:06,687 --> 00:03:10,624
We have had a funny
incident with a new Cadillac

47
00:03:10,724 --> 00:03:13,827
in the parking lot outside.

48
00:03:13,927 --> 00:03:16,864
NARRATOR: Last year a
valet walked by a Cadillac

49
00:03:16,964 --> 00:03:18,432
parked in front of the inn.

50
00:03:18,532 --> 00:03:23,704
The owner had gone inside and
had taken his keys with him.

51
00:03:23,804 --> 00:03:26,173
[engine starts and horn honks]

52
00:03:30,611 --> 00:03:31,579
BART JOHNSON: Doors were locked.

53
00:03:31,679 --> 00:03:33,614
Windows were all closed.

54
00:03:33,714 --> 00:03:34,815
The kid was scared to death.

55
00:03:34,915 --> 00:03:35,716
And I said look.

56
00:03:35,816 --> 00:03:36,884
Calm down.

57
00:03:36,984 --> 00:03:38,519
These things happen around
here and just relax.

58
00:03:41,255 --> 00:03:42,356
I enjoy these ghosts.

59
00:03:42,456 --> 00:03:44,057
I mean, they don't
bother me at all.

60
00:03:44,157 --> 00:03:46,994
I think they come up with some
real clever little things.

61
00:03:47,094 --> 00:03:48,562
For God's sake,
what are you doing?

62
00:03:48,662 --> 00:03:49,463
Nothing.

63
00:03:49,563 --> 00:03:50,731
What the hell are you doing?

64
00:03:50,831 --> 00:03:51,732
I didn't do anything.

65
00:03:51,832 --> 00:03:52,900
BART JOHNSON: On a
busy night, that's

66
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,603
when this entity will start.

67
00:03:55,703 --> 00:03:56,504
Did you do that?

68
00:03:56,604 --> 00:03:57,638
Do what?

69
00:03:57,738 --> 00:03:59,440
BART JOHNSON: And he'll
go down the entire side

70
00:03:59,540 --> 00:04:02,242
of the bar blowing on the
back of the girls' necks.

71
00:04:02,343 --> 00:04:04,912
And the poor guys, they
really were doing nothing.

72
00:04:05,012 --> 00:04:05,813
Cut that out.

73
00:04:05,913 --> 00:04:07,681
Who me?

74
00:04:07,781 --> 00:04:09,450
BART JOHNSON: Now I
knew when the first one

75
00:04:09,550 --> 00:04:11,919
started that it would
continue all the way down

76
00:04:12,019 --> 00:04:12,820
to the end of the bar.

77
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,121
It always did.

78
00:04:14,221 --> 00:04:15,489
Did you do that?
MAN: Do what?

79
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:16,857
Blow on the back of my neck.

80
00:04:16,957 --> 00:04:18,191
BART JOHNSON: It
happened so often

81
00:04:18,292 --> 00:04:21,128
that I enjoyed standing back
on the other side of the bar

82
00:04:21,228 --> 00:04:23,764
and watching.

83
00:04:23,864 --> 00:04:27,568
Hundreds of occurrences have
happened, some very minor,

84
00:04:27,668 --> 00:04:28,602
some more dramatic.

85
00:04:28,702 --> 00:04:32,172
But there have been
hundreds of them.

86
00:04:32,272 --> 00:04:34,775
NARRATOR: Bart has witnessed
many ghostly events

87
00:04:34,875 --> 00:04:38,011
but has never
actually seen a ghost.

88
00:04:38,111 --> 00:04:39,980
Dave Rogers has.

89
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,316
I was maitre d' at the time.

90
00:04:42,416 --> 00:04:45,519
And we were closing the
restaurant up for the night.

91
00:04:45,619 --> 00:04:46,887
[water running]

92
00:04:49,457 --> 00:04:51,892
And I was starting
on my way out.

93
00:04:51,992 --> 00:04:53,827
And I had looked up.

94
00:04:53,927 --> 00:04:56,597
I only saw it for
a split second.

95
00:04:56,697 --> 00:05:00,768
It was just a head sitting
on this chest of drawers.

96
00:05:00,868 --> 00:05:03,337
It didn't register
with me right away.

97
00:05:03,437 --> 00:05:05,373
And when I got out
into the bar area,

98
00:05:05,473 --> 00:05:08,275
it was like I hit a brick wall.

99
00:05:08,376 --> 00:05:10,844
And I just stopped dead in my
tracks, and I started saying,

100
00:05:10,944 --> 00:05:11,845
I saw a head!

101
00:05:11,945 --> 00:05:12,746
I saw something.

102
00:05:12,846 --> 00:05:14,748
I saw a head.

103
00:05:14,848 --> 00:05:17,084
It was just like It
happened yesterday.

104
00:05:17,184 --> 00:05:19,487
I'll never forget the
details, although I

105
00:05:19,587 --> 00:05:20,754
just saw it for an instant.

106
00:05:24,558 --> 00:05:27,861
NARRATOR: Other employees
have also seen apparitions.

107
00:05:27,961 --> 00:05:29,997
One day Alice
Gormley was walking

108
00:05:30,097 --> 00:05:31,932
through the dining room.

109
00:05:32,032 --> 00:05:34,768
And I heard
someone call my name.

110
00:05:34,868 --> 00:05:35,669
Alice?

111
00:05:35,769 --> 00:05:36,937
Alice?

112
00:05:37,037 --> 00:05:40,340
So I walked out of here to
see if it was the manager.

113
00:05:40,441 --> 00:05:48,281
And I saw this apparition,
this person on the stairs.

114
00:05:48,382 --> 00:05:52,586
And he was standing
on this step.

115
00:05:52,686 --> 00:05:55,255
And he looked so startled.

116
00:05:55,355 --> 00:05:58,692
And when I said can I help
you, he just disappeared.

117
00:06:05,533 --> 00:06:07,668
NARRATOR: Local historian,
Jay Robert Manty,

118
00:06:07,768 --> 00:06:10,103
has studied the inn's
history in detail.

119
00:06:10,203 --> 00:06:12,640
And, according to him,
this spectre has been

120
00:06:12,740 --> 00:06:16,777
seen before over 100 years ago.

121
00:06:16,877 --> 00:06:20,013
The first written record of a
ghost in the General Wayne Inn

122
00:06:20,113 --> 00:06:22,516
that we came across
in writing was

123
00:06:22,616 --> 00:06:27,220
a report of an election in
1848 that took place in here.

124
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,358
A lady went down to the basement
to get some more ballots.

125
00:06:31,459 --> 00:06:33,927
When she came up,
she said to the lady

126
00:06:34,027 --> 00:06:36,930
in charge of the elections,
I just saw a soldier

127
00:06:37,030 --> 00:06:39,767
down there in a green uniform.

128
00:06:39,867 --> 00:06:41,702
NARRATOR: In recent times,
there have been three

129
00:06:41,802 --> 00:06:43,571
new sightings of this soldier.

130
00:06:43,671 --> 00:06:45,338
Manty interviewed
three witnesses

131
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:48,275
who saw the same apparition
at different times.

132
00:06:48,375 --> 00:06:51,879
Each of them saw the
ghost in this basement.

133
00:06:51,979 --> 00:06:53,346
It's an interesting place.

134
00:06:53,447 --> 00:06:55,483
I know there's a
wine cellar here.

135
00:06:55,583 --> 00:06:59,386
It was right by the
door of the wine cellar

136
00:06:59,487 --> 00:07:01,889
that each one of them
saw the apparition.

137
00:07:06,293 --> 00:07:07,528
This is it.

138
00:07:07,628 --> 00:07:10,263
This is where they found him,
and he stood right there.

139
00:07:14,134 --> 00:07:17,137
Each one described
the-- in perfect way--

140
00:07:17,237 --> 00:07:21,174
the green uniform, and
the yellowish lapel,

141
00:07:21,274 --> 00:07:23,611
and the black mustache
of a Hessian soldier

142
00:07:23,711 --> 00:07:25,245
of the regiments
that were occupying

143
00:07:25,345 --> 00:07:28,882
Philadelphia at that time.

144
00:07:28,982 --> 00:07:30,751
NARRATOR: Hessians
were German mercenaries

145
00:07:30,851 --> 00:07:33,320
who frequented the inn
during the Revolutionary War.

146
00:07:35,656 --> 00:07:37,625
What about the
British barracks room--

147
00:07:37,725 --> 00:07:39,326
NARRATOR: "Unsolved
Mysteries" invited

148
00:07:39,426 --> 00:07:44,297
Michaeleen Maher, a paranormal
investigator to the inn.

149
00:07:44,397 --> 00:07:47,234
Michaeleen uses experimental
research techniques that

150
00:07:47,334 --> 00:07:51,071
can separate fact from
fiction, for without evidence,

151
00:07:51,171 --> 00:07:53,240
she refuses to believe
that ghosts exist.

152
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:55,308
--might have been
feeling or what might

153
00:07:55,408 --> 00:07:56,644
have happened here before.

154
00:07:56,744 --> 00:07:58,979
NARRATOR: Starting with
detailed floor plans,

155
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:02,315
she uses statistical analysis
to evaluate the responses

156
00:08:02,415 --> 00:08:05,352
of both skeptics and
hand-picked psychics

157
00:08:05,452 --> 00:08:08,155
who have been brought to
the scene of the hauntings.

158
00:08:08,255 --> 00:08:10,924
When we bring them into
an experimental situation,

159
00:08:11,024 --> 00:08:15,028
into a haunting, we ask
them to tour the place where

160
00:08:15,128 --> 00:08:16,029
something has been reported.

161
00:08:19,533 --> 00:08:21,368
NARRATOR: Michaeleen has
asked psychic Paula Rogers

162
00:08:21,468 --> 00:08:23,737
to walk through the building.

163
00:08:23,837 --> 00:08:26,406
Paula knew nothing
about the inn's history.

164
00:08:26,506 --> 00:08:28,275
She went through every room.

165
00:08:28,375 --> 00:08:31,311
And, in the basement, she
made a surprising discovery.

166
00:08:34,748 --> 00:08:37,618
PAULA ROGERS: I got an
extremely strong impression

167
00:08:37,718 --> 00:08:41,021
I see a young soldier hiding.

168
00:08:41,121 --> 00:08:42,656
I can still see it.

169
00:08:42,756 --> 00:08:44,324
And he's in a very old costume.

170
00:08:44,424 --> 00:08:47,961
We're probably talking
at least 200 years.

171
00:08:48,061 --> 00:08:49,663
I could see if it was a memory.

172
00:08:49,763 --> 00:08:52,432
He crouched there, petrifying.

173
00:08:52,532 --> 00:08:56,970
He seemed to have
been left behind.

174
00:08:57,070 --> 00:08:58,438
NARRATOR: Paula
sensed the soldier

175
00:08:58,538 --> 00:09:00,808
only several feet from the
spot where witnesses had

176
00:09:00,908 --> 00:09:03,777
reported seeing the Haitian.

177
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:08,181
Coincidence or something more?

178
00:09:08,281 --> 00:09:09,583
You never know what
they're going to do,

179
00:09:09,683 --> 00:09:11,551
and you never know how long
they're going to do it.

MAN (ON TV): At the General
Wayne Inn, the ghosts check in,

181
00:09:14,187 --> 00:09:16,089
but they don't check out.

182
00:09:16,189 --> 00:09:19,259
NARRATOR: One night during a
local newscast Halloween story

183
00:09:19,359 --> 00:09:22,596
on the inn, a number of regular
patrons gathered in the bar

184
00:09:22,696 --> 00:09:23,997
to watch.

185
00:09:24,097 --> 00:09:25,532
MAN (ON TV): Bart Johnson has
had a number of these spirits--

186
00:09:25,633 --> 00:09:29,637
As soon as he showed the first
scene of the inside of this

187
00:09:29,737 --> 00:09:35,542
building, a whole-- no flop-over
now, no snow, perfect picture--

188
00:09:35,643 --> 00:09:40,213
the whole picture started
to go very, very slowly

189
00:09:40,313 --> 00:09:42,215
clockwise all the way around.

190
00:09:42,315 --> 00:09:44,551
MAN (ON TV): --for 200 years.

191
00:09:44,652 --> 00:09:48,622
And for 148 of those years,
ghosts have been spotted.

192
00:09:48,722 --> 00:09:51,424
BART JOHNSON: And all
the 50 people in the bar

193
00:09:51,524 --> 00:09:54,728
were looking at this and
wondering what was going on.

194
00:09:54,828 --> 00:09:56,897
And their heads are all turning.

195
00:09:56,997 --> 00:09:59,066
And the whole thing
just kept going

196
00:09:59,166 --> 00:10:02,335
around until our
portion was over,

197
00:10:02,435 --> 00:10:03,637
but it never did that before.

198
00:10:03,737 --> 00:10:05,005
And it never did it afterwards.

199
00:10:05,105 --> 00:10:09,609
And no one else in the whole
neighborhood had it that way.

200
00:10:09,710 --> 00:10:12,312
NARRATOR: Are there
ghosts at the inn?

201
00:10:12,412 --> 00:10:15,382
Michaeleen Maher believes that
something unexplained is going

202
00:10:15,482 --> 00:10:19,552
on, but as is so often the
case, cannot prove for certain

203
00:10:19,653 --> 00:10:22,122
that it is caused by ghosts.

204
00:10:22,222 --> 00:10:23,924
MICHAELEEN MAHER: We did get
some interesting results.

205
00:10:24,024 --> 00:10:25,659
I can only call them
tentative at this point,

206
00:10:25,759 --> 00:10:29,663
but our experimental measures,
our measures with random number

207
00:10:29,763 --> 00:10:33,667
generators, and some of
our photography measures

208
00:10:33,767 --> 00:10:37,771
have given us enough of a hint
that something is actually

209
00:10:37,871 --> 00:10:40,808
going on at the General Wayne
Inn that deserves a great deal

210
00:10:40,908 --> 00:10:42,009
of further exploration.

211
00:10:46,546 --> 00:10:49,817
DAVE ROGERS: I know
I saw something.

212
00:10:49,917 --> 00:10:52,820
I don't think it was a
figment of my imagination.

213
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:58,892
I don't think it was a mirage
or whatever you want to call it.

214
00:10:58,992 --> 00:11:00,160
I saw something.

215
00:11:00,260 --> 00:11:02,595
And I don't believe in
ghosts, but I know they're here.

[horn honking]

217
00:11:04,798 --> 00:11:06,099
They have no other place
to go, and they might

218
00:11:06,199 --> 00:11:07,134
as well have a little fun.

219
00:11:07,234 --> 00:11:09,737
And that's exactly
what they're doing.

220
00:11:09,837 --> 00:11:12,639
And I don't think they're
going anywhere either.

221
00:11:12,740 --> 00:11:15,575
[theme music]

222
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,950
Our next story is about a
modern day good Samaritan,

223
00:11:23,050 --> 00:11:26,119
a woman who dedicated her
life to helping others,

224
00:11:26,219 --> 00:11:28,255
first as a mother and
community volunteer,

225
00:11:28,355 --> 00:11:30,457
and later as an advocate
for children's rights,

226
00:11:30,557 --> 00:11:31,825
and as a
court-appointed attorney

227
00:11:31,925 --> 00:11:33,293
for criminal defendants
who could not

228
00:11:33,393 --> 00:11:35,896
otherwise afford legal council.

229
00:11:35,996 --> 00:11:38,331
Two years ago, she fell
victim to the same type

230
00:11:38,431 --> 00:11:43,003
of street criminal she
once vigorously defended.

231
00:11:43,103 --> 00:11:45,338
After raising three
children, Gretchen Burford

232
00:11:45,438 --> 00:11:49,209
embarked on a new life in 1979
when she enrolled in law school

233
00:11:49,309 --> 00:11:51,678
at the age of 41.

234
00:11:51,779 --> 00:11:54,514
By 1984, Gretchen had
a full-time practice

235
00:11:54,614 --> 00:11:57,017
in Palo Alto, California.

236
00:11:57,117 --> 00:12:00,453
She specialized in criminal
defense and juvenile law

237
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:03,690
motivated by a lifelong concern
for the underprivileged,

238
00:12:03,791 --> 00:12:06,259
especially minorities
and children.

239
00:12:06,359 --> 00:12:07,961
It appears it's a 489.

240
00:12:08,061 --> 00:12:10,530
You're looking at possible
time in state prison.

241
00:12:10,630 --> 00:12:11,932
MAUREEN BURFORD COHEN:
I think justice was

242
00:12:12,032 --> 00:12:13,633
really important to my mother.

243
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:14,868
And I think that's
part of the reason

244
00:12:14,968 --> 00:12:16,770
that she was drawn
to a career in law.

245
00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:18,571
--any prior convictions?

246
00:12:18,671 --> 00:12:21,274
She wanted to help
people who didn't

247
00:12:21,374 --> 00:12:25,145
maybe start out with all the
benefits that her children had.

248
00:12:25,245 --> 00:12:28,348
Gretchen put her heart and
soul into defending the people.

249
00:12:28,448 --> 00:12:29,950
And she worked hard
with them, not only

250
00:12:30,050 --> 00:12:31,018
just with the legal defense.

251
00:12:31,118 --> 00:12:33,120
But there were a lot
of things that she

252
00:12:33,220 --> 00:12:35,856
would be involved in as far
as their personal lives.

253
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,696
NARRATOR: February 26,
1988 was a normal Friday

254
00:12:43,797 --> 00:12:45,432
for Gretchen Burford.

255
00:12:45,532 --> 00:12:47,367
Late that afternoon
she left her office

256
00:12:47,467 --> 00:12:49,970
and started home
for the weekend.

257
00:12:50,070 --> 00:12:52,940
The police are unclear on
her subsequent movements.

258
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,975
But with the help of
computer banking logs

259
00:12:55,075 --> 00:12:56,877
and eyewitness testimony,
they have sketched

260
00:12:56,977 --> 00:12:59,813
out a probable scenario.

261
00:12:59,913 --> 00:13:01,248
They do believe
that what happened

262
00:13:01,348 --> 00:13:03,283
next was a random
act of violence

263
00:13:03,383 --> 00:13:05,352
by an assailant unknown to her.

264
00:13:09,156 --> 00:13:13,460
Bank records verify that at 6:37
PM Gretchen deposited a check

265
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:16,864
for $449 at a branch
bank four blocks

266
00:13:16,964 --> 00:13:19,566
from her office in Palo Alto.

267
00:13:19,666 --> 00:13:21,501
It was the beginning of
a nightmare that would

268
00:13:21,601 --> 00:13:24,504
last for 30 terrifying minutes.

[music playing]

270
00:13:34,915 --> 00:13:36,383
SGT DAVID WORLEY:
It's here that we

271
00:13:36,483 --> 00:13:39,486
suspect that her assailant
may have accosted

272
00:13:39,586 --> 00:13:42,422
her for the first time.

273
00:13:42,522 --> 00:13:44,757
She may have been
the type of person

274
00:13:44,858 --> 00:13:47,895
who left her car
unlocked, which is

275
00:13:47,995 --> 00:13:50,097
what assailants
look for when they

276
00:13:50,197 --> 00:13:52,399
are stalking their victims.

277
00:13:52,499 --> 00:13:57,737
She's near a walk-up
teller at night.

278
00:13:57,837 --> 00:14:02,209
Obviously she would be a target
for some type of an attack.

279
00:14:02,309 --> 00:14:05,678
Gretchen was naive
about how she handled

280
00:14:05,778 --> 00:14:09,649
herself, especially outdoors.

281
00:14:09,749 --> 00:14:13,553
She was never really aware of
what was going on around her.

282
00:14:13,653 --> 00:14:15,355
The way she looked at
things, I think she looked

283
00:14:15,455 --> 00:14:16,990
at people very trustingly.

she requested more cash than
she was authorized to withdraw.

319

Police assumed Gretchen
may have been trying

320
00:15:30,463 --> 00:15:31,564
to discourage her abductor.

Where is the money?

GRETCHEN BURFORD: All right.

327
00:15:37,870 --> 00:15:39,672
SGT DAVID WORLEY: We
had two witnesses pull

328
00:15:39,772 --> 00:15:41,908
up behind Gretchen's vehicle.

329
00:15:42,009 --> 00:15:45,845
The male driver saw a struggle
going on inside the car.

330
00:15:45,945 --> 00:15:50,017
He saw the driver's door open,
and then it appeared that she

331
00:15:50,117 --> 00:15:51,418
was pulled back inside.

[brakes squealing]

333
00:16:02,462 --> 00:16:05,865
GRETCHEN BURFORD: He stabbed me.

334
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:07,234
SGT DAVID WORLEY:
Witnesses have told us

335
00:16:07,334 --> 00:16:10,370
that she got out of her car
screaming he stabbed me!

336
00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:11,871
He stabbed me!

337
00:16:11,971 --> 00:16:13,873
And help me.

338
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:16,876
And she collapsed immediately.

339
00:16:16,976 --> 00:16:23,383
So the wound was definitely one
single stab, and it was fatal.

340
00:16:23,483 --> 00:16:24,917
NARRATOR: Police believe
that Gretchen Burford

341
00:16:25,018 --> 00:16:27,320
deliberately caused the
accident in a desperate attempt

342
00:16:27,420 --> 00:16:28,221
to escape.

343
00:16:31,958 --> 00:16:34,894
Her car came to rest 150
yards from the drive-up teller

344
00:16:34,994 --> 00:16:36,529
machine.

345
00:16:36,629 --> 00:16:38,798
In the aftermath,
two witnesses were

346
00:16:38,898 --> 00:16:42,635
able to get a clear and
detailed look at her killer.

347
00:16:42,735 --> 00:16:46,039
He stabbed me!

348
00:16:46,139 --> 00:16:47,440
WITNESS: The lady
jumped out of the car

349
00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:50,077
screaming that she was stabbed.

350
00:16:50,177 --> 00:16:55,548
And then he got out of the car,
stared me and my friend down.

351
00:16:55,648 --> 00:16:57,917
Then he turned around and ran.

352
00:16:58,017 --> 00:17:01,321
Within two seconds, three
seconds, he was out of sight.

353
00:17:01,421 --> 00:17:03,690
Since the girl hit the ground,
she said she was stabbed,

354
00:17:03,790 --> 00:17:06,826
we went for her.

355
00:17:06,926 --> 00:17:08,528
What happened?

356
00:17:08,628 --> 00:17:11,364
(BREATHLESS) He
s-- stabbed me.

357
00:17:11,464 --> 00:17:12,599
WITNESS: She was
lying on the ground,

358
00:17:12,699 --> 00:17:15,335
and I could see a
little pool of blood.

359
00:17:15,435 --> 00:17:16,569
She was looking up at me.

360
00:17:16,669 --> 00:17:18,471
She was saying I'm dying.

361
00:17:18,571 --> 00:17:20,039
I'm going to die.

362
00:17:20,140 --> 00:17:22,475
And I said you're just
bleeding, and you're

363
00:17:22,575 --> 00:17:24,411
going to be fine, so relax.

364
00:17:24,511 --> 00:17:26,779
And I held her hand.

365
00:17:26,879 --> 00:17:29,316
She looked up at me,
her eyes rolled back,

366
00:17:29,416 --> 00:17:31,084
and her eyes closed.

367
00:17:31,184 --> 00:17:37,457
And it kind of-- I guess
her life ended right there.

SGT DAVID WORLEY: When
I arrived at the scene,

370
00:17:45,498 --> 00:17:47,534
Gretchen had already
been transported

371
00:17:47,634 --> 00:17:49,702
to an emergency room.

372
00:17:49,802 --> 00:17:50,637
What have we got here?

373
00:17:50,737 --> 00:17:52,539
We have a female
stabbing victim.

374
00:17:52,639 --> 00:17:54,174
Do we have a perimeter
set up up there?

375
00:17:54,274 --> 00:17:55,442
Yes.
Officers are around.

376
00:17:55,542 --> 00:17:57,777
There some evidence let's
take a look at over here.

377
00:17:57,877 --> 00:18:00,213
SGT DAVID WORLEY: I almost
immediately started processing

378
00:18:00,313 --> 00:18:02,048
her vehicle for any evidence.

379
00:18:02,149 --> 00:18:04,251
We've got some blood
here on the steering wheel.

380
00:18:04,351 --> 00:18:05,685
SGT DAVID WORLEY:
I looked inside

381
00:18:05,785 --> 00:18:10,557
and saw a paisley baseball
hat in the rear passenger

382
00:18:10,657 --> 00:18:13,226
compartment that just
seemed out of place.

383
00:18:13,326 --> 00:18:14,827
If we go around, I can--

384
00:18:14,927 --> 00:18:17,063
SGT DAVID WORLEY: We
later confirmed that that

385
00:18:17,164 --> 00:18:19,366
did not belong to
her, and it's unknown

386
00:18:19,466 --> 00:18:20,767
how that got in her car.

387
00:18:20,867 --> 00:18:26,239
So we assumed that it
belonged to our suspect.

388
00:18:26,339 --> 00:18:27,574
NARRATOR: The next
day, authorities

389
00:18:27,674 --> 00:18:29,976
recovered the murder
weapon, a butcher

390
00:18:30,076 --> 00:18:31,944
knife with an eight-inch blade.

391
00:18:32,044 --> 00:18:34,747
It was found in a driveway
one block from the scene,

392
00:18:34,847 --> 00:18:38,385
but provided no
additional leads.

393
00:18:38,485 --> 00:18:41,087
The investigation next
focused on the unusual hat

394
00:18:41,188 --> 00:18:43,156
found in Gretchen's car.

395
00:18:43,256 --> 00:18:45,958
A check with the manufacturer
revealed that only two stores

396
00:18:46,058 --> 00:18:48,828
in the area stocked this item.

397
00:18:48,928 --> 00:18:51,164
Even though all attempts
to connect the paisley hat

398
00:18:51,264 --> 00:18:54,467
with a suspect have failed,
police are convinced it holds

399
00:18:54,567 --> 00:18:55,968
the key to solving the case.

MAUREEN BURFORD COHEN:
I think it's ironic

401
00:19:01,641 --> 00:19:05,678
that my mother would have gone
on helping, you know, for years

just started her law career,

give, and was giving so much

the Summer of Sam shootings

York in 1976 and 1977.

Reporter Maury Terry

00:20:01,768 --> 00:20:05,538
believes that the Son of Sam did
not act alone, that he was part

413
00:20:05,638 --> 00:20:08,875
of an organized conspiracy that
carried out a year-long reign

414
00:20:08,975 --> 00:20:13,212
of terror in New York City.

415
00:20:13,313 --> 00:20:16,783

began on July 29, 1976.

suspect.

But on August 10,
David Berkowitz

was arrested and
confessed to all

428
00:20:44,444 --> 00:20:46,979
of the Son of Sam shootings.

429
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:49,081
Investigative
Reporter Maury Terry

430
00:20:49,181 --> 00:20:50,950
gathered evidence that
indicated that more

431
00:20:51,050 --> 00:20:53,686
than one man was involved.

432
00:20:53,786 --> 00:20:57,357
The general perception
among the public for years

433
00:20:57,457 --> 00:21:00,427
had been that David
Berkowitz was a lone gunman.

The facts and the evidence--
not speculation-- the facts

and the evidence say otherwise.

major discrepancies

in eyewitness accounts
of the last shooting

438
00:21:10,337 --> 00:21:13,906
that support his theory
of more than one gunman.

Zaino was parked just

In this letter, there
were cryptic references

452
00:21:42,502 --> 00:21:45,572
to the quote, "twenty-two

The letter was signed

Underneath was a satanic symbol.

458
00:22:02,188 --> 00:22:04,791
Maury Terry believes that the
Breslin letter was sent not

459
00:22:04,891 --> 00:22:07,026
by Berkowitz but
rather by a satanic

460
00:22:07,126 --> 00:22:08,928
cult that operated
in Berkowitz's

461
00:22:09,028 --> 00:22:10,697
Yonkers' neighborhood.

462
00:22:10,797 --> 00:22:13,400
He also believes that Berkowitz
was a member of the cult,

463
00:22:13,500 --> 00:22:16,202
and that it was this group
that planned and executed

464
00:22:16,302 --> 00:22:19,606
the Son of Sam attacks.

465

David Berkowitz lived in
a seventh floor apartment

in Yonkers.

Down the hill was a
street named Wicker.

468
00:22:27,647 --> 00:22:29,215
Could this be the
King Wicker mentioned

469
00:22:29,315 --> 00:22:30,817
in the Breslin letter?

470
00:22:30,917 --> 00:22:33,453
Wicker Street was near the
home of another character

471
00:22:33,553 --> 00:22:36,923
believed to be mentioned in
the letter, John Wheaties.

472
00:22:39,726 --> 00:22:42,929
MAURY TERRY: I learned that John
Wheaties rapist and suffocater

473
00:22:43,029 --> 00:22:44,864
alias of the killer
in the Breslin letter

474
00:22:44,964 --> 00:22:46,633
was not really an
alias at all, but it

475
00:22:46,733 --> 00:22:48,601
was the name of a real person.

476
00:22:48,701 --> 00:22:50,336
That person was
John Carr who was

477
00:22:50,437 --> 00:22:52,539
the real-life son of Sam Carr.

478
00:22:52,639 --> 00:22:54,306
John Carr's nickname
was Wheaties.

479
00:22:54,407 --> 00:22:56,175
And I learned this within
a day of the arrest.

480
00:22:56,275 --> 00:22:58,377
And from then on,
I became deeper

481
00:22:58,478 --> 00:23:02,949
and deeper involved in the case
trying to locate John Carr.

482
00:23:03,049 --> 00:23:06,352
NARRATOR: This is the
face of John Carr.

483
00:23:06,453 --> 00:23:07,987
And these are the
composite drawings

484
00:23:08,087 --> 00:23:10,457
of the .44-Caliber killers.

485
00:23:10,557 --> 00:23:12,091
Maury Terry believes
that there is

486
00:23:12,191 --> 00:23:17,664
a resemblance between
these two and John Carr.

487
00:23:17,764 --> 00:23:20,166
Terry tracked John Carr
to Minot, North Dakota,

488
00:23:20,266 --> 00:23:21,468
where he had worked
as a mechanic

489
00:23:21,568 --> 00:23:23,770
at a local Air Force Base.

490
00:23:23,870 --> 00:23:26,706
Though he lived in Minot
during the mid-70s,

491
00:23:26,806 --> 00:23:28,775
Carr frequently
commuted to New York

492
00:23:28,875 --> 00:23:31,711
during the time of the
Son of Sam attacks.

493
00:23:31,811 --> 00:23:33,045
TERRY GARDNER: Well,
from my experience,

494
00:23:33,145 --> 00:23:36,549
John Carr was a
mixed up drug addict.

495
00:23:36,649 --> 00:23:38,417
He was hanging
around with the group

496
00:23:38,518 --> 00:23:42,021
of people that were on the other
side of the law all the time.

497
00:23:42,121 --> 00:23:44,891
John Carr, many, many months
before Berkowitz was ever

498
00:23:44,991 --> 00:23:48,094
arrested, had talked about his
friend Berky to his friends

499
00:23:48,194 --> 00:23:49,829
out in Minot, North Dakota.

500
00:23:49,929 --> 00:23:55,101
John Carr was a friend
of, a confidant of,

501
00:23:55,201 --> 00:23:58,337
and an associative
of David Berkowitz.

502
00:23:58,437 --> 00:24:02,108
NARRATOR: On February 17, 1978,
six months after Berkowitz's

503
00:24:02,208 --> 00:24:05,812
arrest, John Carr was found
dead in his girlfriend's Minot

504
00:24:05,912 --> 00:24:07,413
apartment.

505
00:24:07,514 --> 00:24:09,281
TERRY GARDNER: When I
first walked into the room,

506
00:24:09,381 --> 00:24:10,883
it was a ghastly sight.

507
00:24:10,983 --> 00:24:13,119
Obviously the guy had sat
on the edge of the bed,

508
00:24:13,219 --> 00:24:16,088
put the gun in his mouth,
and pulled the trigger.

509
00:24:16,188 --> 00:24:19,492
My first interview with his
live-in girlfriend at the time,

510
00:24:19,592 --> 00:24:22,729
she told me that he must
have just taken his own life.

511
00:24:22,829 --> 00:24:29,602
The next day, same person, new
interview, whole new story.

512
00:24:29,702 --> 00:24:31,671
John Carr had to
have been murdered.

513
00:24:31,771 --> 00:24:34,106
He was wanted by the
police in New York

514
00:24:34,206 --> 00:24:36,408
for the Son of Sam killings.

515
00:24:36,509 --> 00:24:40,513
He was afraid for his
life, and I fully believe

516
00:24:40,613 --> 00:24:42,148
that John Carr was murdered.

517
00:24:44,817 --> 00:24:46,853
MAURY TERRY: Through
interviews with Carr's friends

518
00:24:46,953 --> 00:24:49,421
and the police officials
in North Dakota,

519
00:24:49,522 --> 00:24:52,725
the picture emerged of John
Carr being heavily involved

520
00:24:52,825 --> 00:24:56,128
in satanic cult activity,
both in Minot, North Dakota,

521
00:24:56,228 --> 00:24:58,230
and in Westchester
County, New York, where

522
00:24:58,330 --> 00:25:00,432
he spent part of his time.

523
00:25:00,533 --> 00:25:03,603
It involved blood
drinking, urine drinking,

524
00:25:03,703 --> 00:25:06,072
the ritualistic
sacrifice of animals,

525
00:25:06,172 --> 00:25:09,576
specifically German
Shepherds, all sorts

526
00:25:09,676 --> 00:25:12,444
of other rather
horrible activity

527
00:25:12,545 --> 00:25:15,481
that certain satanic
cults get into.

528
00:25:15,582 --> 00:25:17,884
NARRATOR: The satanic symbol
found on the Breslin letter

529
00:25:17,984 --> 00:25:20,620
directly under the
signature of Son of Sam

530
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:26,358
was also found inscribed
on Carr's Minot phone book.

531
00:25:26,458 --> 00:25:27,960
One of Carr's
Minot acquaintances

532
00:25:28,060 --> 00:25:30,963
was a man named Phil Falcon.

533
00:25:31,063 --> 00:25:34,601
Falcon accidentally walked in
on John Carr and a companion

534
00:25:34,701 --> 00:25:38,370
performing a satanic ritual.

535
00:25:38,470 --> 00:25:40,039
MAURY TERRY: Phil Falcon
told us that he walked

536
00:25:40,139 --> 00:25:43,242
into his own house one
night in North Dakota

537
00:25:43,342 --> 00:25:46,345
and found John Carr and
another friend of Carr's part

538
00:25:46,445 --> 00:25:49,315
of the circle in the
act of ritualistically

539
00:25:49,415 --> 00:25:52,551
sacrificing an animal
right in Falcon's house.

540
00:25:52,652 --> 00:25:53,452
Sorry.

541
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:54,587
We're out of here.

542
00:25:54,687 --> 00:25:55,855
PHIL FALCON: What are
you guys doing in here?

543
00:25:55,955 --> 00:25:57,023
We're going to go.

544
00:25:57,123 --> 00:25:59,792
MAURY TERRY: And
Phil Falcon also told

545
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,829
us that John Carr
belonged to a very,

546
00:26:02,929 --> 00:26:05,297
very violent satanic cult.

547
00:26:05,397 --> 00:26:08,300
NARRATOR: Prison sources who
knew Berkowitz told Maury Terry

548
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,436
that Berkowitz had been
introduced to this cult

549
00:26:10,536 --> 00:26:17,744
by John Carr's brother,
Michael, in 1975.

550
00:26:17,844 --> 00:26:18,945
MAURY TERRY: Michael
Carr ended up

551
00:26:19,045 --> 00:26:21,113
inviting Berkowitz
to attend what he

552
00:26:21,213 --> 00:26:23,315
called a floating coven party.

553
00:26:23,415 --> 00:26:25,985
And Berkowitz came in,
and attended the party,

554
00:26:26,085 --> 00:26:28,354
and symbolically--
not literally,

555
00:26:28,454 --> 00:26:31,590
but symbolically-- the .44
put into his hand that night.

556
00:26:31,691 --> 00:26:36,495
That's how he got
into the cult scene.

557
00:26:36,595 --> 00:26:39,866
NARRATOR: At 4:00 AM
on October 4, 1979,

558
00:26:39,966 --> 00:26:42,669
over two years after
Berkowitz's arrest,

559
00:26:42,769 --> 00:26:45,104
Michael Carr was killed.

560
00:26:45,204 --> 00:26:47,073
He was driving at a
high rate of speed

561
00:26:47,173 --> 00:26:48,574
when he crashed
into a light post

562
00:26:48,675 --> 00:26:49,976
on New York's West Side Highway.

563
00:26:52,679 --> 00:26:56,615
He died just 18 months
after his brother.

564
00:26:56,716 --> 00:26:59,185
How many members of
this devilish cult--

565
00:26:59,285 --> 00:27:00,820
NARRATOR: Conclusive
proof that Berkowitz

566
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,322
knew both John and
Michael Carr came

567
00:27:03,422 --> 00:27:05,624
during two of his depositions.

568
00:27:05,725 --> 00:27:10,096
On October 25, 1978, when asked
point blank whether he knew

569
00:27:10,196 --> 00:27:12,965
John Carr, he answered yes.

570
00:27:13,065 --> 00:27:14,300
Yes.

571
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,004
NARRATOR: In another deposition
taken on January 19, 1982,

572
00:27:18,104 --> 00:27:21,540
Berkowitz was asked if the Carrs
were part of a satanic cult,

573
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,810
he also answered yes.

574
00:27:23,910 --> 00:27:25,077
Would evade anything to--

575
00:27:25,177 --> 00:27:26,445
NARRATOR: When asked
whether the brothers

576
00:27:26,545 --> 00:27:28,647
were killed to
ensure their silence,

577
00:27:28,748 --> 00:27:33,252
Berkowitz again responded yes.

578
00:27:33,352 --> 00:27:36,088
Maury Terry believes that the
death of the Carrs may have

579
00:27:36,188 --> 00:27:40,126
been engineered by the quote,
"twenty-two disciples of hell,"

580
00:27:40,226 --> 00:27:43,830
mentioned in the Breslin letter.

581
00:27:43,930 --> 00:27:46,665
He also believes this
is a satanic group that

582
00:27:46,766 --> 00:27:50,369
held their rituals in Untermyer
Park, located just one mile

583
00:27:50,469 --> 00:27:53,973
from Berkowitz's apartment.

584
00:27:54,073 --> 00:27:54,874
It's right up ahead.

585
00:27:54,974 --> 00:27:56,575
Right there.

586
00:27:56,675 --> 00:27:59,378
NARRATOR: On August
11, 1977, the day

587
00:27:59,478 --> 00:28:02,348
after Berkowitz's
arrest, two young boys

588
00:28:02,448 --> 00:28:04,583
led police to a grave
that contained the bodies

589
00:28:04,683 --> 00:28:08,220
of three German Shepherds.

590
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,890
Two of them had been
strangled with chains.

591
00:28:10,990 --> 00:28:13,125
One had been shot in the head.

592
00:28:13,225 --> 00:28:15,161
At least 10 other
slaughtered dogs had

593
00:28:15,261 --> 00:28:18,664
been found in the park area.

594
00:28:18,765 --> 00:28:20,166
CAPT GERARD BUCKHOUT:
We received information

595
00:28:20,266 --> 00:28:23,569
that groups of people
who attired themselves

596
00:28:23,669 --> 00:28:27,573
in black or dark-colored
robes with hoods

597
00:28:27,673 --> 00:28:30,609
were chanting,
carrying on some types

598
00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:35,214
of rituals on the aqueduct in
the rear of Untermyer Park.

599
00:28:35,314 --> 00:28:39,786
Subsequently, authorities did
find some remains of dogs.

600
00:28:39,886 --> 00:28:43,722
And the information that we had
was that this group of people

601
00:28:43,823 --> 00:28:50,162
were sacrificing animals
in a satanic ritual.

602
00:28:50,262 --> 00:28:52,298
MAURY TERRY: I got a call
from a young boy in Yonkers,

603
00:28:52,398 --> 00:28:54,533
15-year-old high
school sophomore,

604
00:28:54,633 --> 00:28:56,302
wanted to know if I
knew that there was

605
00:28:56,402 --> 00:29:00,306
a satanic cult that was meeting
in Untermyer Park in Yonkers

606
00:29:00,406 --> 00:29:02,374
and killing dogs.

607
00:29:02,474 --> 00:29:05,244
And so I met him down there,
which is just about a mile

608
00:29:05,344 --> 00:29:07,246
from Berkowitz's residence.

609
00:29:07,346 --> 00:29:11,083
And he took me around to
various spots in Untermyer Park,

610
00:29:11,183 --> 00:29:12,819
showed me where the
cult was meeting.

611
00:29:12,919 --> 00:29:14,987
We saw all the
satanic graffiti--

612
00:29:15,087 --> 00:29:17,589
very sophisticated
graffiti at the time--

613
00:29:17,689 --> 00:29:19,491
and took me throughout the park.

614
00:29:19,591 --> 00:29:21,727
BOY: And over here on the
other side of the wall,

615
00:29:21,828 --> 00:29:23,896
I had found three dead dogs.

616
00:29:23,996 --> 00:29:25,798
MAURY TERRY: Saw the
remains of probably

617
00:29:25,898 --> 00:29:28,000
two or three dead
German Shepherds

618
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:29,768
right there at that time.

619
00:29:29,869 --> 00:29:33,072
And he took me along the
aqueduct, literally the gutters

620
00:29:33,172 --> 00:29:36,142
of NYC from the Breslin
letter, and showed me

621
00:29:36,242 --> 00:29:37,743
where they had set up an alter.

622
00:29:37,844 --> 00:29:39,345
They had an altar.

623
00:29:39,445 --> 00:29:42,982
They placed the altar
board right over here

624
00:29:43,082 --> 00:29:44,483
in between the two trees.

625
00:29:44,583 --> 00:29:45,918
MAURY TERRY: And
now we had the cult,

626
00:29:46,018 --> 00:29:47,186
and we knew where
it was meeting.

627
00:29:47,286 --> 00:29:50,322
And we could tie it right
to the Son of Sam case

628
00:29:50,422 --> 00:29:51,523
and the Son of Sam letter.

629
00:29:51,623 --> 00:29:54,793
It was a very significant
development in the case.

630
00:29:54,894 --> 00:29:58,164
You'd like to see
your cases resolved

631
00:29:58,264 --> 00:30:00,933
with a conviction, or an
acquittal, or no case,

632
00:30:01,033 --> 00:30:02,301
or whatever.

633
00:30:02,401 --> 00:30:04,303
But it's when you have these
constant doubts-- who else was

634
00:30:04,403 --> 00:30:07,006
involved, were there
others involved

635
00:30:07,106 --> 00:30:11,177
and to what extent, will
they do it again-- you see,

636
00:30:11,277 --> 00:30:14,446
that becomes the
overriding concern.

637
00:30:14,546 --> 00:30:16,849
If there is someone out
there who was involved

638
00:30:16,949 --> 00:30:20,887
in the Berkowitz cases in the
killing of a number of people

639
00:30:20,987 --> 00:30:22,788
and the wounding of
a number of people,

640
00:30:22,889 --> 00:30:26,258
and that person is bent on
doing the same thing again,

641
00:30:26,358 --> 00:30:27,826
then the public's in jeopardy.

642
00:30:27,927 --> 00:30:29,761
And so certainly I would
like to have that solved

643
00:30:29,862 --> 00:30:33,165
and get that person
out of the way.

644
00:30:33,265 --> 00:30:35,868
NARRATOR: Cult activity is
continued around Untermyer Park

645
00:30:35,968 --> 00:30:38,104
since the Son of Sam killings.

646
00:30:38,204 --> 00:30:40,472
While we were filming,
two local residents

647
00:30:40,572 --> 00:30:45,377
told us they had witnessed
a satanic ceremony in 1987.

648
00:30:45,477 --> 00:30:47,513
About a year and a half
ago, me and my cousin

649
00:30:47,613 --> 00:30:48,847
were watching TV.

650
00:30:48,948 --> 00:30:51,850
And we saw a car headlights
go by on the aqueduct path.

651
00:30:51,951 --> 00:30:53,552
Well, my cousin
took a flashlight,

652
00:30:53,652 --> 00:30:55,087
and I took a baseball bat.

653
00:30:55,187 --> 00:30:58,824
And we walked up through my
yard onto the aqueduct path.

654
00:30:58,925 --> 00:31:02,128
There must have been
about 15 or 30 people.

655
00:31:02,228 --> 00:31:05,164
And there was one guy, and he
must have been the head chanter

656
00:31:05,264 --> 00:31:07,099
or something because he
was chanting the loudest

657
00:31:07,199 --> 00:31:08,767
over the other people.

658
00:31:08,867 --> 00:31:09,936
[chanting]

659
00:31:11,603 --> 00:31:12,838
We just froze.

660
00:31:12,939 --> 00:31:14,340
We didn't know what to do
because we'd never encountered

661
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,142
something like this before.

662
00:31:16,242 --> 00:31:17,143
[chanting]

663
00:31:18,344 --> 00:31:19,645
We'd both decided just
to get out of there.

664
00:31:19,745 --> 00:31:21,280
We didn't want to get seen
because you don't know

665
00:31:21,380 --> 00:31:23,115
what people like that'll do.

[dog whimpering and chanting]

667
00:31:26,318 --> 00:31:28,254
JOHN SANTUCCI: But I think it
would serve the public interest

668
00:31:28,354 --> 00:31:31,857
for us to know if,
in fact, a cult does

669
00:31:31,958 --> 00:31:35,861
exist, if, in fact, they
engage in satanic activities,

670
00:31:35,962 --> 00:31:38,797
if, in fact, sacrifice
is part of that activity,

671
00:31:38,897 --> 00:31:42,068
if, in fact, human life
is the sacrificial aspect

672
00:31:42,168 --> 00:31:46,272
of that activity, and how
it's impacting upon life

673
00:31:46,372 --> 00:31:48,807
in our respective communities.

674
00:31:48,907 --> 00:31:50,076
NARRATOR: The Queens
District Attorney

675
00:31:50,176 --> 00:31:51,677
would like to question
the individuals

676
00:31:51,777 --> 00:31:53,912
that match these composites.

677
00:31:54,013 --> 00:31:56,448
They would also like to
locate the yellow 1971

678
00:31:56,548 --> 00:31:58,284
Volkswagen noticed
at the scene of one

679
00:31:58,384 --> 00:32:00,219
of the Son of Sam attacks.

680
00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:08,027
Its license ends with the
letters G-U-R or G-V-R.

681
00:32:08,127 --> 00:32:11,097
If Maury Terry is
correct, the satanic group

682
00:32:11,197 --> 00:32:13,065
responsible for the
Son of Sam attacks

683
00:32:13,165 --> 00:32:16,068
is still alive, still
meeting, and still

684
00:32:16,168 --> 00:32:18,170
recruiting new members.

685
00:32:18,270 --> 00:32:21,707
If this last claim is true,
certainly that is a most

686
00:32:21,807 --> 00:32:24,776
disturbing thought of all.

687
00:32:24,876 --> 00:32:27,479
Next, the story of a Mississippi
millionaire desperately

688
00:32:27,579 --> 00:32:29,215
searching for his
kidnapped wife.

689
00:32:29,315 --> 00:32:30,983
The ransom money has been paid.

690
00:32:31,083 --> 00:32:34,586
And Annie Laurie Hearin
is still missing.

691

[theme music]

692
00:32:43,295 --> 00:32:45,464
In this house in
Jackson, Mississippi,

693
00:32:45,564 --> 00:32:48,867
lives 71-year-old Robert
Hearin, one of the wealthiest

694
00:32:48,967 --> 00:32:50,336
men in the state.

695
00:32:50,436 --> 00:32:52,104
His wife, Annie
Laurie Hearin, is

696
00:32:52,204 --> 00:32:55,207
72, a devoted wife and mother.

697
00:32:55,307 --> 00:32:57,243
She's well-beloved
and extremely active

698
00:32:57,343 --> 00:33:00,246
in the social and
civic life of Jackson.

699
00:33:00,346 --> 00:33:04,716
On July the 26th, Annie
Laurie Hearin was kidnapped.

700
00:33:08,620 --> 00:33:09,421
Good morning.

701
00:33:09,521 --> 00:33:10,522
On behalf of--

702
00:33:10,622 --> 00:33:11,990
NARRATOR: 12 Days later,
Robert Hearin called

703
00:33:12,091 --> 00:33:14,460
a press conference at his home.

704
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,728
The kidnapping was linked
to one of his businesses,

705
00:33:16,828 --> 00:33:21,567
and he wanted to make a
personal plea to the kidnapper.

706
00:33:21,667 --> 00:33:23,935
My name is Robert Hearin.

707
00:33:24,036 --> 00:33:28,540
My wife, Annie Laurie, was taken
from my home over 10 days ago.

708
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,010
My children and I have done
everything humanly possible

709
00:33:32,111 --> 00:33:34,446
to obtain her release.

710
00:33:34,546 --> 00:33:37,816
Like any businessman, I've
made decisions which may

711
00:33:37,916 --> 00:33:41,220
appear to others as unfeeling.

712
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,590
But those appearances
are just not true.

713
00:33:44,690 --> 00:33:47,025
Moreover, those
business decisions

714
00:33:47,126 --> 00:33:50,396
were mine, not my wife.

715
00:33:50,496 --> 00:33:53,799
She had absolutely
nothing to do with them.

716
00:33:53,899 --> 00:33:59,538
My children and I appeal you to
whomever has my wife that she

717
00:33:59,638 --> 00:34:01,807
may be safely returned to us.

718
00:34:01,907 --> 00:34:04,510
Thank you.

719
00:34:04,610 --> 00:34:06,478
ROBERT HEARIN, JR: I think
about Mom all the time,

720
00:34:06,578 --> 00:34:09,815
and I'm sure my daddy does, too.

721
00:34:09,915 --> 00:34:14,019
There's no real way to
qualify how enormous

722
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,122
a tragedy and ordeal
this has been to him

723
00:34:16,222 --> 00:34:19,458
and to the rest of the family.

724
00:34:19,558 --> 00:34:22,661
NARRATOR: Annie Laurie Hearin's
kidnapping was unusual.

725
00:34:22,761 --> 00:34:25,397
Rather than simply insisting
on money for himself,

726
00:34:25,497 --> 00:34:28,500
the kidnapper left a note
naming 12 people he felt

727
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,969
were owed money by one of
Robert Hearin's companies

728
00:34:31,069 --> 00:34:33,372
and should be paid back.

729
00:34:33,472 --> 00:34:34,940
It is Robert Hearin's
desperate hope

730
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,543
that someone watching
tonight will come forward

731
00:34:37,643 --> 00:34:38,877
with information
that will lead him

732
00:34:38,977 --> 00:34:43,048
to the woman he loves, the
woman he married 48 years ago.

733
00:34:47,052 --> 00:34:49,655
When Robert Hearin came home
from work on the afternoon

734
00:34:49,755 --> 00:34:53,492
of July the 26th, he was alarmed
to find that his wife was not

735
00:34:53,592 --> 00:34:55,060
in the house.

736
00:34:55,161 --> 00:34:56,462
ROBERT HEARIN: Well,
I'm really starting--

737
00:34:56,562 --> 00:34:58,764
NARRATOR: After checking
with friends and family,

738
00:34:58,864 --> 00:35:01,200
he called the police
to report her missing.

739
00:35:01,300 --> 00:35:02,868
I'll wait right
here for you, Officer.

740
00:35:02,968 --> 00:35:04,670
Thank you.

741
00:35:04,770 --> 00:35:08,974
NARRATOR: Then Mr Hearin
made an alarming discovery,

742
00:35:09,074 --> 00:35:11,910
a note apparently
left by a kidnapper

743
00:35:12,010 --> 00:35:13,312
lay by his front door.

744
00:35:15,214 --> 00:35:18,684
The note said do
not call the police.

745
00:35:18,784 --> 00:35:21,653
However, Mr Hearin had
notified the police prior

746
00:35:21,753 --> 00:35:24,556
to the note being discovered.

747
00:35:24,656 --> 00:35:27,459
Responding to Mr Hearin's
missing persons report,

748
00:35:27,559 --> 00:35:29,161
police arrived at
the scene and found

749
00:35:29,261 --> 00:35:32,431
that it was now a kidnapping
connected in some way

750
00:35:32,531 --> 00:35:35,767
to Robert Hearin's
business dealings.

751
00:35:35,867 --> 00:35:37,102
John, you need to
take a look at this.

752
00:35:40,472 --> 00:35:42,608
Robert Hearin, put
these people back

753
00:35:42,708 --> 00:35:45,143
in the shape they was
in before they got

754
00:35:45,244 --> 00:35:47,078
mixed up with school pictures.

755
00:35:47,179 --> 00:35:48,380
WAYNE TAYLOR: The
demands in the note

756
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,784
very vague and made several
demands of Mr. Hearin

757
00:35:52,884 --> 00:35:57,556
concerning certain individuals
listed on the note who were

758
00:35:57,656 --> 00:36:04,230
allegedly harmed by a company of
which Mr. Hearin was president.

759
00:36:04,330 --> 00:36:06,698
NARRATOR: Hearin had been
president of School Pictures,

760
00:36:06,798 --> 00:36:09,501
a company that sells
franchises to photographers

761
00:36:09,601 --> 00:36:11,337
throughout the United
States to produce

762
00:36:11,437 --> 00:36:14,840
portraits of schoolchildren.

763
00:36:14,940 --> 00:36:18,009
Between 1981 and
1983 in an effort

764
00:36:18,109 --> 00:36:20,846
to collect outstanding
debts, School Pictures

765
00:36:20,946 --> 00:36:23,515
filed lawsuits against
12 franchise owners

766
00:36:23,615 --> 00:36:25,684
in eight states,
including Florida.

767
00:36:28,554 --> 00:36:31,657
On the day of Annie Laurie
Hearin's kidnapping,

768
00:36:31,757 --> 00:36:34,360
neighbors had reported seeing
vehicles that seemed out

769
00:36:34,460 --> 00:36:37,763
of place in the neighborhood.

770
00:36:37,863 --> 00:36:41,967
JL BLACK: We had calls
from various people

771
00:36:42,067 --> 00:36:43,869
that there had been two
particular vehicles that

772
00:36:43,969 --> 00:36:47,105
had been seen in that
neighborhood, one of which

773
00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:48,740
was a pickup truck.

774
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,478
And the other was
a white cargo van.

775
00:36:52,578 --> 00:36:55,213
The cargo van had a
Florida plate on it.

776
00:37:00,185 --> 00:37:01,887
NARRATOR: Police discovered
that the 12 people

777
00:37:01,987 --> 00:37:04,222
on the kidnappers
list were the same 12

778
00:37:04,323 --> 00:37:06,392
sued by School Pictures.

779
00:37:06,492 --> 00:37:08,494
They resided in eight
different states.

780
00:37:08,594 --> 00:37:10,762
But they were all sued
through the Hinds County

781
00:37:10,862 --> 00:37:13,198
Court in Jackson, Mississippi.

782
00:37:13,299 --> 00:37:15,767
Their names were easily
available to the general public

783
00:37:15,867 --> 00:37:18,036
in county court records.

784
00:37:18,136 --> 00:37:20,606
This means that the kidnapper
need not have been one

785
00:37:20,706 --> 00:37:24,109
of the 12 people on the note.

786
00:37:24,209 --> 00:37:25,444
JL BLACK: It's
possible that these 12

787
00:37:25,544 --> 00:37:29,047
people had absolutely nothing
to do with this abduction.

788
00:37:29,147 --> 00:37:30,916
However, you can't
rule out the fact

789
00:37:31,016 --> 00:37:32,818
that maybe somebody,
especially that

790
00:37:32,918 --> 00:37:36,154
had knowledge of School
Pictures and its operation,

791
00:37:36,254 --> 00:37:39,224
could have been
involved with it.

792
00:37:39,325 --> 00:37:42,694
ROBERT HEARIN, JR: No
specific ransom demand

793
00:37:42,794 --> 00:37:44,496
was contained in the letter.

794
00:37:44,596 --> 00:37:49,301
We assumed it was a ransom
note, and we wanted to comply.

795
00:37:49,401 --> 00:37:53,171
We wanted to do everything
we could to get Mother back.

796
00:37:53,271 --> 00:37:55,607
School Pictures was requested
to look into their files

797
00:37:55,707 --> 00:37:57,876
on these 12 people.

798
00:37:57,976 --> 00:38:02,548
The transactions were reviewed,
and letters were, of course,

799
00:38:02,648 --> 00:38:06,785
sent out to these 12
people trying to determine

800
00:38:06,885 --> 00:38:09,721
what damages that they had.

801
00:38:09,821 --> 00:38:12,958
What did they want?

802
00:38:13,058 --> 00:38:16,795
At that point, we
didn't get a response

803
00:38:16,895 --> 00:38:21,367
except from several of them
saying we don't want anything.

804
00:38:21,467 --> 00:38:23,335
NARRATOR: Eight days after
his press conference,

805
00:38:23,435 --> 00:38:25,604
Robert Hearin received a letter.

806
00:38:25,704 --> 00:38:27,839
He recognized the handwriting.

807
00:38:27,939 --> 00:38:31,543
It belonged to his
wife, Annie Laurie.

808
00:38:31,643 --> 00:38:32,744
ROBERT HEARIN, JR:
We had hit a very

809
00:38:32,844 --> 00:38:35,881
low ebb prior to August 15.

810
00:38:35,981 --> 00:38:38,950
And that was the day
that we received a letter

811
00:38:39,050 --> 00:38:40,352
in mother's handwriting.

812
00:38:40,452 --> 00:38:43,755
And it basically
plead with daddy

813
00:38:43,855 --> 00:38:50,696
again to comply with the
demands and to please save her.

814
00:38:50,796 --> 00:38:53,231
This gave us quite
an emotional lift

815
00:38:53,331 --> 00:38:55,367
because it meant that
mother apparently had

816
00:38:55,467 --> 00:38:57,035
survived the initial struggle.

817
00:38:57,135 --> 00:39:00,906
But it still was extremely
vague as to what we were to do.

818
00:39:01,006 --> 00:39:03,875
At that point, Daddy,
in order to do something

819
00:39:03,975 --> 00:39:06,945
to show our good
faith effort to comply

820
00:39:07,045 --> 00:39:10,115
with these vague demands,
instructed his attorneys

821
00:39:10,215 --> 00:39:12,584
to check these
roles and find out

822
00:39:12,684 --> 00:39:19,224
how much School Pictures had
sued these 12 individuals for.

823
00:39:19,324 --> 00:39:20,692
NARRATOR: Robert
Hearin, Sr. Sent

824
00:39:20,792 --> 00:39:23,729
out checks totaling nearly
$1 million to the people

825
00:39:23,829 --> 00:39:25,697
on the list.

826
00:39:25,797 --> 00:39:27,365
Half of the checks
have been returned.

827
00:39:30,068 --> 00:39:32,604
More than four months had
passed since Annie Laurie Hearin

828
00:39:32,704 --> 00:39:34,740
was abducted from her home.

829
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,508
Neither her family
nor the authorities

830
00:39:36,608 --> 00:39:39,945
has had word from her or the
kidnapper since the letter

831
00:39:40,045 --> 00:39:43,682
they received on
August the 15th.

832
00:39:43,782 --> 00:39:46,151
It's been our sincere desire
from the very beginning,

833
00:39:46,251 --> 00:39:48,086
from the moment
of the kidnapping,

834
00:39:48,186 --> 00:39:51,590
that we do everything possible
to comply with these demands.

835
00:39:51,690 --> 00:39:54,426
We want Mother back.

836
00:39:54,526 --> 00:39:56,995
It's not our intention
to question the motive

837
00:39:57,095 --> 00:39:59,097
of these people, at this point.

838
00:39:59,197 --> 00:40:01,399
Whatever they want, we
want to give it to them,

839
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:02,701
so we can get Mother back.

840
00:40:02,801 --> 00:40:04,436
That is our very
paramount concern.

841
00:40:09,207 --> 00:40:12,177
NARRATOR: Update-- last
month, Newton Alfred Wynn,

842
00:40:12,277 --> 00:40:15,447
a 65-year-old lawyer was
arrested by the FBI in Florida

843
00:40:15,547 --> 00:40:17,415
on charges relating
to the abduction

844
00:40:17,516 --> 00:40:19,250
of Annie Laurie Hearin.

845
00:40:19,350 --> 00:40:21,587
Wynn was one of the 12
men named in the ransom

846
00:40:21,687 --> 00:40:23,755
note left at the Hearin home.

847
00:40:23,855 --> 00:40:26,291
Also, less than one month
before the kidnapping,

848
00:40:26,391 --> 00:40:28,126
he had allegedly
purchased a van which

849
00:40:28,226 --> 00:40:30,328
matched the description
of the vehicles seen

850
00:40:30,428 --> 00:40:32,764
in the Hearin neighborhood.

851
00:40:32,864 --> 00:40:35,166
A woman told the FBI that
Wynn had promised her

852
00:40:35,266 --> 00:40:38,236
$500 to travel from Florida
to Atlanta, Georgia,

853
00:40:38,336 --> 00:40:41,372
and mail a letter for him
just 16 days after Annie

854
00:40:41,473 --> 00:40:43,341
Laurie Hearin was kidnapped.

855
00:40:43,441 --> 00:40:45,376
He handed her a manila envelope.

856
00:40:45,477 --> 00:40:48,847
Inside was the letter wrapped
in a gray, linen napkin.

857
00:40:48,947 --> 00:40:51,883
Wynn instructed her not to
look at or touch the letter.

858
00:40:51,983 --> 00:40:53,619
But to deposit the
letter in a mail slot,

859
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,286
she had to ease the napkin off.

860
00:40:55,386 --> 00:40:58,456
And she was able to observe
the writing on the envelope.

861
00:40:58,557 --> 00:41:00,859
Later she identified a
photograph of the envelope

862
00:41:00,959 --> 00:41:03,094
Robert Hearin had
received from his wife

863
00:41:03,194 --> 00:41:06,231
as the one she had
mailed in Atlanta.

864

865
00:41:31,422 --> 00:41:33,291
ROBERT HEARIN, JR: I think
about Mama all the time,

866
00:41:33,391 --> 00:41:36,227
an I'm sure my daddy does, too.

867
00:41:36,327 --> 00:41:40,398
There's no real way to
quantify how enormous

868
00:41:40,498 --> 00:41:42,734
a tragedy and ordeal
this has been to him

869
00:41:42,834 --> 00:41:45,003
and to the rest of the family.

872
00:41:58,850 --> 00:42:00,586
For every mystery,
there is someone

873
00:42:00,686 --> 00:42:02,854
somewhere who knows the truth.

874
00:42:02,954 --> 00:42:04,322
Perhaps that
someone is watching.

875
00:42:04,422 --> 00:42:05,456
Perhaps it's you.
