1 00:00:04,705 --> 00:00:07,308 ANNOUNCER: This program is about unsolved mysteries. 2 00:00:07,408 --> 00:00:09,410 Whenever possible, the actual family members 3 00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:11,379 and police officials have participated 4 00:00:11,479 --> 00:00:12,913 in recreating the events. 5 00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:15,449 What you are about to see is not a news broadcast. 6 00:00:21,089 --> 00:00:23,824 ROBERT STACK: Tonight on "Unsolved Mysteries," a story 7 00:00:23,924 --> 00:00:25,859 of a lonely housewife in Maine who 8 00:00:25,959 --> 00:00:29,097 searched for love in her newspaper's personal columns. 9 00:00:29,197 --> 00:00:33,134 Two years ago, she went on a blind date and vanished. 10 00:00:33,234 --> 00:00:36,304 And on the "Queen Mary," dozens of eyewitnesses 11 00:00:36,404 --> 00:00:39,273 claim they have seen or heard ghosts. 12 00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:42,910 Last month, parapsychologists tape recorded phantom sound 13 00:00:43,010 --> 00:00:45,246 of what some believe is a shipwreck that 14 00:00:45,346 --> 00:00:48,416 took place 40 years earlier. 15 00:00:48,516 --> 00:00:50,384 We'll also examine the case of a man 16 00:00:50,484 --> 00:00:53,787 awaiting trial for the murder of two teenage girls. 17 00:00:53,887 --> 00:00:55,656 Joe Shepherd has escaped. 18 00:00:55,756 --> 00:00:59,026 Perhaps you can help catch him. 19 00:00:59,127 --> 00:01:01,562 Tonight's cases feature ordinary people 20 00:01:01,662 --> 00:01:05,466 thrust into a vortex of mystery, heartbreak, and intrigue. 21 00:01:05,566 --> 00:01:07,368 Each one is searching for that vital clue 22 00:01:07,468 --> 00:01:10,538 to end a story that, so far, has no ending. 23 00:01:10,638 --> 00:01:12,373 Perhaps you can help. 24 00:01:12,473 --> 00:01:13,507 Join me. 25 00:01:13,607 --> 00:01:16,277 You may be able to help solve a mystery. 26 00:01:16,377 --> 00:01:20,781 [theme music] 27 00:02:08,796 --> 00:02:11,499 This is the "Queen Mary," now permanently moored in 28 00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:13,167 Long Beach, California. 29 00:02:16,370 --> 00:02:18,372 On her decks and in her corridors 30 00:02:18,472 --> 00:02:23,911 people have seen and heard things they can't explain. 31 00:02:24,011 --> 00:02:25,679 I'd been here about 14 years when 32 00:02:25,779 --> 00:02:29,583 I had the first experience with actually seeing 33 00:02:29,683 --> 00:02:31,519 what I thought to be a ghost. 34 00:02:34,555 --> 00:02:36,424 It was a December morning. 35 00:02:36,524 --> 00:02:37,958 I was in the work area. 36 00:02:38,058 --> 00:02:40,794 And for some reason, I picked up a cup of coffee, 37 00:02:40,894 --> 00:02:45,199 went out to the table, and there was a lady sitting there. 38 00:02:45,299 --> 00:02:47,901 I was so fascinated by her dress. 39 00:02:48,001 --> 00:02:51,038 She appeared to be in a late-afternoon cocktail 40 00:02:51,138 --> 00:02:53,073 type dress from the '40s. 41 00:02:53,173 --> 00:02:56,210 She had dark hair rolled at the side, no makeup on. 42 00:02:56,310 --> 00:02:57,878 She seemed to be very pale. 43 00:02:57,978 --> 00:03:00,548 But I never saw a movement. 44 00:03:00,648 --> 00:03:04,285 I left the table, went up about 10 feet, 45 00:03:04,385 --> 00:03:06,920 turned around because I wanted to take another look, 46 00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:08,121 and there was nothing there. 47 00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:15,162 I am probably the last person that 48 00:03:15,263 --> 00:03:16,297 should have had these experiences 49 00:03:16,397 --> 00:03:17,465 because I'm such a skeptic. 50 00:03:20,534 --> 00:03:24,137 One day, I was standing on the stairs of the pool 51 00:03:24,238 --> 00:03:26,707 and out of the corner of my right eye, 52 00:03:26,807 --> 00:03:30,978 I saw a woman, probably in her 60s or 70s, in black and white. 53 00:03:34,047 --> 00:03:36,450 So I went down the stairs and around the pillar, 54 00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:39,387 expecting to find her standing there, 55 00:03:39,487 --> 00:03:42,756 and she wasn't anywhere to be found. 56 00:03:42,856 --> 00:03:45,025 It was only a matter of seconds. 57 00:03:45,125 --> 00:03:46,226 She couldn't have gone anywhere. 58 00:03:49,096 --> 00:03:51,532 Several others besides Carol and Nancy say they have 59 00:03:51,632 --> 00:03:53,467 seen or heard ghosts here in the "Queen 60 00:03:53,567 --> 00:03:56,069 Mary's" first-class pool. 61 00:03:56,169 --> 00:03:57,305 How do we explain these sightings 62 00:03:57,405 --> 00:04:00,674 by reportedly well-balanced, level-headed people? 63 00:04:00,774 --> 00:04:02,376 Could they simply result from the power 64 00:04:02,476 --> 00:04:06,447 of suggestion stimulated by an eerie location? 65 00:04:06,547 --> 00:04:10,351 Some parapsychologists believe that all locations are haunted. 66 00:04:10,451 --> 00:04:12,453 That is, they retain memories of past events 67 00:04:12,553 --> 00:04:15,956 that some people with psychic sensitivities, or ESP, 68 00:04:16,056 --> 00:04:18,125 experience as hauntings. 69 00:04:18,225 --> 00:04:20,794 Whatever the explanation, the "Queen Mary" 70 00:04:20,894 --> 00:04:22,530 seems to be inhabited by something 71 00:04:22,630 --> 00:04:29,303 ethereal that has been seen and heard, but not explained. 72 00:04:29,403 --> 00:04:30,438 [music - "queen of the sea"] 73 00:04:30,538 --> 00:04:35,042 Oh, I'm happy and gay 'cause I'm sailing away. 74 00:04:35,142 --> 00:04:36,810 ROBERT STACK: The "Queen Mary" took her maiden voyage 75 00:04:36,910 --> 00:04:41,214 on May 27, 1936, and transported the titled and elite 76 00:04:41,315 --> 00:04:42,750 from both sides of the Atlantic. 77 00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:45,252 The "Queen Mary". 78 00:04:45,353 --> 00:04:47,455 How'd you like to come with me-- 79 00:04:47,555 --> 00:04:48,856 ROBERT STACK: During that five-day voyage, 80 00:04:48,956 --> 00:04:51,959 the "Queen Mary" was a floating party, a living 81 00:04:52,059 --> 00:04:53,427 symbol of luxury travel. 82 00:04:53,527 --> 00:04:54,895 --by a British crew. 83 00:04:54,995 --> 00:05:02,302 So when I go over the sea, the "Queen Mary" takes me. 84 00:05:05,939 --> 00:05:07,274 ROBERT STACK: In the second World War, 85 00:05:07,375 --> 00:05:09,910 the "Queen Mary" was turned into a troopship. 86 00:05:10,010 --> 00:05:13,280 Due to her ghostly grey camouflage, she was ironically 87 00:05:13,381 --> 00:05:19,286 nicknamed "The Grey Ghost." 88 00:05:19,387 --> 00:05:22,222 After the war, she reverted back to her former glory 89 00:05:22,322 --> 00:05:26,259 and crossed the ocean a total of 1,001 times. 90 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,429 In the over-30 years the ship was 91 00:05:28,529 --> 00:05:31,599 at sea, she witnessed four births, 92 00:05:31,699 --> 00:05:33,934 and at least 49 recorded deaths. 93 00:05:37,838 --> 00:05:41,008 After her arrival in Long Beach in 1967, 94 00:05:41,108 --> 00:05:42,976 one of the first people to work onboard 95 00:05:43,076 --> 00:05:45,145 was Marine Engineer John Smith. 96 00:05:45,245 --> 00:05:49,483 Part of my duties was to check and learn the ship thoroughly, 97 00:05:49,583 --> 00:05:51,652 and so I explored it in the evenings 98 00:05:51,752 --> 00:05:53,754 when my regular day's work was done-- 99 00:05:53,854 --> 00:05:55,789 ROBERT STACK: His job took him into the remote regions 100 00:05:55,889 --> 00:05:58,692 of the ship's bow. 101 00:05:58,792 --> 00:06:01,161 And several times over a two-month period, 102 00:06:01,261 --> 00:06:05,799 he heard something where there should only have been silence. 103 00:06:05,899 --> 00:06:07,735 [metal moving] 104 00:06:09,770 --> 00:06:12,139 He heard the sounds of metal tearing, 105 00:06:12,239 --> 00:06:16,376 water rushing, and then men screaming. 106 00:06:16,477 --> 00:06:18,712 [men screaming] 107 00:06:21,615 --> 00:06:24,585 It sounded like there had been a rupture of the ship's hull. 108 00:06:24,685 --> 00:06:25,919 It was frightful. 109 00:06:26,019 --> 00:06:29,189 I went up to the extreme bow section of the ship, 110 00:06:29,289 --> 00:06:32,059 and the sound was here, but there was no water 111 00:06:32,159 --> 00:06:34,261 and nothing to cause it. 112 00:06:34,361 --> 00:06:37,798 I don't believe in supernatural things, 113 00:06:37,898 --> 00:06:40,367 but in all my experiences as a marine engineer, 114 00:06:40,468 --> 00:06:42,770 I've never seen anything like this. 115 00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:45,906 ROBERT STACK: Years later, Smith read about a wartime tragedy, 116 00:06:46,006 --> 00:06:47,741 the "Queen Mary's" accidental collision 117 00:06:47,841 --> 00:06:50,844 with a British cruiser named the "Curacoa". 118 00:06:50,944 --> 00:06:52,179 [booming] 119 00:06:53,614 --> 00:06:56,383 Over 300 men were killed. 120 00:06:56,484 --> 00:07:01,889 The "Queen Mary's" bow sliced the "Curacoa" in half. 121 00:07:01,989 --> 00:07:04,892 After I read that article, I was 122 00:07:04,992 --> 00:07:09,062 so shook up and so overwhelmed. 123 00:07:09,162 --> 00:07:13,400 The very area I heard that mysterious water rushing was 124 00:07:13,501 --> 00:07:17,437 the exact same area that was damaged when the ship hit 125 00:07:17,538 --> 00:07:20,407 the "Curacoa," I said, this is what it would have 126 00:07:20,508 --> 00:07:23,410 sounded and felt like if I had been in that compartment 127 00:07:23,511 --> 00:07:26,580 at the time. 128 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,348 But I knew it couldn't be. 129 00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:30,718 That was 30 years earlier. 130 00:07:30,818 --> 00:07:32,452 It couldn't be anything. 131 00:07:35,088 --> 00:07:37,224 ROBERT STACK: Over the years, dozens of sightings 132 00:07:37,324 --> 00:07:39,760 had been reported. 133 00:07:39,860 --> 00:07:42,896 Late one night in the pool area, Maintenance 134 00:07:42,996 --> 00:07:45,766 Supervisor Kathy Love and a coworker 135 00:07:45,866 --> 00:07:47,200 heard mysterious sounds. 136 00:07:50,504 --> 00:07:52,540 KATHY LOVE: We came into the pool 137 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,611 and I heard giggling-- sound of a little girl 138 00:07:57,711 --> 00:07:59,747 or a child playing in the area. 139 00:07:59,847 --> 00:08:01,481 [giggling] 140 00:08:04,284 --> 00:08:06,887 And at that point, I noticed there was splashing. 141 00:08:11,559 --> 00:08:13,326 These splashings stopped. 142 00:08:13,426 --> 00:08:14,862 The giggling continued. 143 00:08:14,962 --> 00:08:19,199 And we observed the footprints of a small child walking 144 00:08:19,299 --> 00:08:20,701 across into the locker room. 145 00:08:34,014 --> 00:08:36,984 I know that I saw what I saw. 146 00:08:37,084 --> 00:08:43,456 I'm not sure exactly why I saw it, but I know it was there. 147 00:08:46,093 --> 00:08:47,795 ROBERT STACK: Several unexplained encounters 148 00:08:47,895 --> 00:08:50,998 have occurred in shaft alley deep within the ship, 149 00:08:51,098 --> 00:08:53,100 near the engine room. 150 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,304 Here, in 1966, during a routine fire drill, 151 00:08:57,404 --> 00:08:59,707 a man named John Pedder was crushed 152 00:08:59,807 --> 00:09:01,775 to death in a watertight door. 153 00:09:11,051 --> 00:09:16,489 Some believe Pedder still haunts shaft alley. 154 00:09:16,590 --> 00:09:18,525 Where'd they-- uh, where'd they say he was? 155 00:09:18,626 --> 00:09:20,393 It was down here in shaft alley somewhere. 156 00:09:20,493 --> 00:09:23,496 ROBERT STACK: Both tour members and employees have experienced 157 00:09:23,597 --> 00:09:25,198 hauntings in shaft alley. 158 00:09:25,298 --> 00:09:26,366 Blue coveralls and a beard? 159 00:09:26,466 --> 00:09:27,768 Yeah. 160 00:09:27,868 --> 00:09:29,770 Said they was dressed in blue coveralls, and he had a beard. 161 00:09:29,870 --> 00:09:32,505 There was two different tour groups that said it. 162 00:09:32,606 --> 00:09:36,143 NANCY ANNE: I had a second experience down in shaft alley. 163 00:09:36,243 --> 00:09:38,578 It was about 5:30 or 6 o'clock in the evening. 164 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,214 I was working in the capacity of a lead guide, which meant 165 00:09:41,314 --> 00:09:43,784 my job was to close down the tour route 166 00:09:43,884 --> 00:09:46,954 and make sure that there weren't any stragglers behind. 167 00:09:47,054 --> 00:09:49,757 And I don't know why I turned around, but I turned around. 168 00:09:49,857 --> 00:09:53,093 And standing right behind me on the step was a man. 169 00:09:53,193 --> 00:09:56,596 He had blue overalls and they were dirty. 170 00:09:56,697 --> 00:10:00,668 When I stepped aside to let him go by, he wasn't there. 171 00:10:00,768 --> 00:10:01,568 He was gone. 172 00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:08,508 I don't necessarily believe any other ghost stories that 173 00:10:08,608 --> 00:10:09,677 other people have come up with. 174 00:10:09,777 --> 00:10:11,979 I only know what I saw, and I only believe 175 00:10:12,079 --> 00:10:15,816 what I saw with my own eyes. 176 00:10:15,916 --> 00:10:18,018 ROBERT STACK: Last month, "Unsolved Mysteries" 177 00:10:18,118 --> 00:10:19,787 brought to the "Queen Mary" a team 178 00:10:19,887 --> 00:10:24,124 of experts who've spent decades investigating hauntings. 179 00:10:24,224 --> 00:10:26,660 Using sophisticated recording equipment, 180 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,396 they would attempt to verify the eyewitness accounts. 181 00:10:29,496 --> 00:10:31,598 --to head out, and as soon as I got around the corner, 182 00:10:31,699 --> 00:10:33,500 it started in again. 183 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,068 He came in here and he came out-- 184 00:10:35,168 --> 00:10:36,169 ROBERT STACK: Danish-born William 185 00:10:36,269 --> 00:10:38,238 Roll is one of the world's leading 186 00:10:38,338 --> 00:10:41,208 authorities on poltergeists. 187 00:10:41,308 --> 00:10:44,111 I'm often asked the question, do you believe in ghosts? 188 00:10:44,211 --> 00:10:46,714 And what I expect I will be asked 189 00:10:46,814 --> 00:10:48,816 when I finish this investigation, 190 00:10:48,916 --> 00:10:51,084 are there ghosts on this ship? 191 00:10:51,184 --> 00:10:56,890 And these are questions that I cannot answer. 192 00:10:56,990 --> 00:10:59,526 ROBERT STACK: Tony Cornell has researched paranormal activity 193 00:10:59,626 --> 00:11:02,662 for 25 years. 194 00:11:02,763 --> 00:11:06,199 I am a skeptic, but, at the same time, 195 00:11:06,299 --> 00:11:08,936 I must allow for the fact that other people who 196 00:11:09,036 --> 00:11:11,972 are very sane and sensible have

573 00:30:42,608 --> 00:30:46,445 Seeks easygoing, intelligent, responsible, not overweight 574 00:30:46,545 --> 00:30:49,348 male for growing relationship. 575 00:30:49,448 --> 00:30:50,649 I'm in Wiscasset. 576 00:30:50,749 --> 00:30:56,688 Where are you?" 577 00:30:56,788 --> 00:30:59,458 ROBERT STACK: June 21, 1986. 578 00:30:59,558 --> 00:31:03,329 Gail DeLano drove alone to a restaurant in Brunswick, Maine 579 00:31:03,429 --> 00:31:04,730 to meet a blind date. 580 00:31:08,134 --> 00:31:10,836 Gail's family never saw or heard from her again. 581 00:31:18,444 --> 00:31:20,246 Despite the tone of her personal ads, 582 00:31:20,346 --> 00:31:23,549 Gail DeLano was shy and withdrawn. 583 00:31:23,649 --> 00:31:25,985 For Gail, placing these ads was an act of courage. 584 00:31:26,085 --> 00:31:29,188 It was also an act of hope. 585 00:31:29,288 --> 00:31:32,091 The last entry in her diary read, 586 00:31:32,191 --> 00:31:33,559 "it would be nice to find someone 587 00:31:33,659 --> 00:31:35,461 to date over the summer. 588 00:31:35,561 --> 00:31:36,662 Who knows? 589 00:31:36,762 --> 00:31:40,366 Maybe I'll get lucky and find someone interesting." 590 00:31:40,466 --> 00:31:42,634 Gail was searching not only for companionship, 591 00:31:42,734 --> 00:31:45,972 but also for a father figure for her two boys. 592 00:31:46,072 --> 00:31:48,807 Her desperate need to find love placed her in the center 593 00:31:48,907 --> 00:31:50,142 of an unsolved mystery. 594 00:31:53,045 --> 00:31:58,017 Friday evening, June 20, 1986. 595 00:31:58,117 --> 00:32:01,287 Gail's sons recall that she had a two-and-a-half-hour telephone 596 00:32:01,387 --> 00:32:03,689 conversation with a man named John, 597 00:32:03,789 --> 00:32:05,791 a man they assumed their mother had 598 00:32:05,891 --> 00:32:09,761 met through the personal ads. 599 00:32:09,861 --> 00:32:11,430 Mom, this isn't like you. 600 00:32:11,530 --> 00:32:13,599 Well, I'm in a pretty good mood today. 601 00:32:13,699 --> 00:32:14,533 Why? 602 00:32:14,633 --> 00:32:16,368 I got a call from John last night. 603 00:32:16,468 --> 00:32:18,404 ROBERT STACK: The next morning, Gail told her sons 604 00:32:18,504 --> 00:32:19,805 she planned to have coffee with John 605 00:32:19,905 --> 00:32:23,242 at the Howard Johnson's in Brunswick, 606 00:32:23,342 --> 00:32:26,578 and then, if things went well, spend the afternoon with him. 607 00:32:26,678 --> 00:32:28,447 Be good while I'm gone, OK? 608 00:32:33,252 --> 00:32:36,188 ROBERT STACK: That night, Gail's 13-year-old son, Ryan, returned 609 00:32:36,288 --> 00:32:39,025 home from a friend's house. 610 00:32:39,125 --> 00:32:41,693 He discovered that his mother was not at home. 611 00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:42,961 Mom? 612 00:32:43,062 --> 00:32:44,630 ROBERT STACK: Ryan was concerned, but not alarmed. 613 00:32:44,730 --> 00:32:45,531 RYAN DELANO: Mom? 614 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,836 ROBERT STACK: When Gail did not return home the next night, 615 00:32:50,936 --> 00:32:52,671 her family called the police. 616 00:32:52,771 --> 00:32:53,639 10-4, Brunswick. 617 00:32:53,739 --> 00:32:55,607 En route. 618 00:32:55,707 --> 00:32:58,510 ROBERT STACK: It was now 37 hours by the time Gail DeLano 619 00:32:58,610 --> 00:33:01,313 had left home to meet her date. 620 00:33:01,413 --> 00:33:04,150 The police immediately searched the Howard Johnson's parking 621 00:33:04,250 --> 00:33:06,318 lot and located Gail's car. 622 00:33:09,521 --> 00:33:11,390 DAN BRADFORD: There was no indication at that point 623 00:33:11,490 --> 00:33:13,225 that there was any foul play. 624 00:33:13,325 --> 00:33:16,062 Basically, it was an adult woman who has 625 00:33:16,162 --> 00:33:17,996 gone out and spent the night. 626 00:33:18,097 --> 00:33:20,466 The history we got was that that's not unusual 627 00:33:20,566 --> 00:33:23,935 for her to spend the night out, although it was unusual for her 628 00:33:24,036 --> 00:33:26,105 to do it without calling. 629 00:33:26,205 --> 00:33:27,839 When she'd been gone that long, 630 00:33:27,939 --> 00:33:29,875 it just wasn't right because she was 631 00:33:29,975 --> 00:33:33,345 so careful about keeping track with the children 632 00:33:33,445 --> 00:33:35,114 where she was. 633 00:33:35,214 --> 00:33:37,449 We knew if she'd been gone for that long 634 00:33:37,549 --> 00:33:39,017 that something was haywire. 635 00:33:39,118 --> 00:33:41,787 ROBERT STACK: Gail's family was forced to wait until 11 o'clock 636 00:33:41,887 --> 00:33:43,422 Monday morning to have her officially 637 00:33:43,522 --> 00:33:45,824 declared a missing person. 638 00:33:45,924 --> 00:33:48,327 Only then could the police search her car. 639 00:33:51,330 --> 00:33:53,232 PLATT MONFORT: When we got the car open, 640 00:33:53,332 --> 00:33:57,069 we tried to see if there would be a note or anything that 641 00:33:57,169 --> 00:34:00,005 would be from Gail that would explain particularly who she 642 00:34:00,106 --> 00:34:01,940 was with because, at this point, we 643 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,410 figured this guy that she had the date with had 644 00:34:04,510 --> 00:34:05,311 done something. 645 00:34:05,411 --> 00:34:06,545 Is there anything in there? 646 00:34:06,645 --> 00:34:07,813 DAN BRADFORD: No, it's pretty clean. 647 00:34:07,913 --> 00:34:09,181 PLATT MONFORT: And we looked the car over 648 00:34:09,281 --> 00:34:11,883 and there was nothing in the car. 649 00:34:11,983 --> 00:34:15,987 Normally I know the person's first and last name 650 00:34:16,088 --> 00:34:20,692 and where he's from, but this one time we just missed. 651 00:34:20,792 --> 00:34:22,861 It had to be that one time. 652 00:34:22,961 --> 00:34:26,098 I had spoken with her earlier that afternoon 653 00:34:26,198 --> 00:34:28,534 and she said, I have a feeling I'm going to have a date 654 00:34:28,634 --> 00:34:29,835 and I'm going to do something happy, 655 00:34:29,935 --> 00:34:31,570 and I'm going to have fun this weekend. 656 00:34:31,670 --> 00:34:33,672 And then look what happened. 657 00:34:38,510 --> 00:34:40,346 ROBERT STACK: Two hours after the police had removed 658 00:34:40,446 --> 00:34:42,948 Gail's car, a Howard Johnson's busboy 659 00:34:43,048 --> 00:34:45,717 made a startling discovery. 660 00:34:45,817 --> 00:34:47,419 DAN BRADFORD: The manager of Howard Johnson's 661 00:34:47,519 --> 00:34:49,988 called the Brunswick police department to notify them 662 00:34:50,088 --> 00:34:53,525 that one of their busboys had found a set of keys 663 00:34:53,625 --> 00:34:57,028 in the parking slot where Gail DeLano's car had been parked 664 00:34:57,129 --> 00:34:58,864 prior to their moving it. 665 00:34:58,964 --> 00:35:01,066 And when the policeman handed those keys and said, 666 00:35:01,167 --> 00:35:02,168 are these Gail's keys? 667 00:35:02,268 --> 00:35:03,335 And I thought, oh, my god. 668 00:35:03,435 --> 00:35:05,737 I said, they'd have to kill her short 669 00:35:05,837 --> 00:35:07,273 of getting those keys from her. 670 00:35:07,373 --> 00:35:10,342 And I just about came unglued then. 671 00:35:10,442 --> 00:35:13,679 And I guess I said to Platt, you've got to find my baby. 672 00:35:13,779 --> 00:35:14,580 Where is she? 673 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,516 Where is she? 674 00:35:17,616 --> 00:35:20,386 ROBERT STACK: Two weeks later, a nine-year-old boy playing 675 00:35:20,486 --> 00:35:22,854 on the other side of the Howard Johnson's 676 00:35:22,954 --> 00:35:26,258 made a second startling discovery-- Gail's purse. 677 00:35:29,528 --> 00:35:33,765 Finding the purse at the parking lot kind of 678 00:35:33,865 --> 00:35:37,669 raised our concern about the possibility of foul play. 679 00:35:37,769 --> 00:35:41,273 I was just heartsick when I found out because, again, she 680 00:35:41,373 --> 00:35:44,810 would not let go of that handbag short of being bopped 681 00:35:44,910 --> 00:35:47,112 in the head or dragged away. 682 00:35:47,213 --> 00:35:50,482 See what we can find in there that might help us. 683 00:35:50,582 --> 00:35:51,917 Actually, the pocketbook was very 684 00:35:52,017 --> 00:35:54,986 nice inside and quite orderly. 685 00:35:55,086 --> 00:35:57,956 So it appeared right from the beginning 686 00:35:58,056 --> 00:36:00,459 that it had not been rifled through by anybody 687 00:36:00,559 --> 00:36:05,564 looking for any type of money or things of this nature. 688 00:36:05,664 --> 00:36:08,367 ROBERT STACK: Curiously, while the purse appeared untouched, 689 00:36:08,467 --> 00:36:09,935 there was no money in it. 690 00:36:10,035 --> 00:36:11,737 Folding wallet with-- 691 00:36:11,837 --> 00:36:13,372 ROBERT STACK: Even the emergency $5 692 00:36:13,472 --> 00:36:16,642 bill that Gail always kept tucked in a secret compartment 693 00:36:16,742 --> 00:36:17,543 was missing. 694 00:36:21,613 --> 00:36:24,115 Using a datebook they found in her purse, 695 00:36:24,216 --> 00:36:27,052 Detectives Mallet and Bradford compiled a list of the men 696 00:36:27,152 --> 00:36:29,120 that Gail might have dated in the last year. 697 00:36:29,221 --> 00:36:30,188 June 20. 698 00:36:30,289 --> 00:36:33,292 The last entry in there is, "John called. 699 00:36:33,392 --> 00:36:35,561 Talked 2 and 1/2 hours." 700 00:36:35,661 --> 00:36:36,895 ROBERT STACK: One of them was a man named 701 00:36:36,995 --> 00:36:38,830 John from Old Orchard Beach. 702 00:36:42,834 --> 00:36:45,437 This man swore he had never dated Gail. 703 00:36:45,537 --> 00:36:48,139 He said the only time he might have talked to her on the phone 704 00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:50,409 was months before she disappeared. 705 00:36:50,509 --> 00:36:51,310 Not really. 706 00:36:51,410 --> 00:36:52,378 It wasn't arranged. 707 00:36:52,478 --> 00:36:53,879 ROBERT STACK: He had a rock-solid alibi 708 00:36:53,979 --> 00:36:56,081 for the day Gail vanished. 709 00:36:56,181 --> 00:36:58,484 So did all the other men the police questioned. 710 00:36:58,584 --> 00:36:59,418 You're next. 711 00:37:03,289 --> 00:37:06,392 ROBERT STACK: The police were totally baffled. 712 00:37:06,492 --> 00:37:08,727 Gail kept detailed records of the men who responded 713 00:37:08,827 --> 00:37:12,063 to her ads, yet there was no record of a man 714 00:37:12,163 --> 00:37:13,265 named John in her files. 715 00:37:16,835 --> 00:37:19,371 Who had called Gail and talked for 2 and 1/2 hours 716 00:37:19,471 --> 00:37:21,039 the night before she disappeared? 717 00:37:21,139 --> 00:37:21,940 Yeah, yeah. 718 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,375 Right. 719 00:37:23,475 --> 00:37:25,777 ROBERT STACK: Why were her keys found in exactly the spot 720 00:37:25,877 --> 00:37:29,247 where her car had been parked? 721 00:37:29,348 --> 00:37:31,283 Why was Gail's purse found on the other side 722 00:37:31,383 --> 00:37:33,885 of the restaurant, apparently untouched, 723 00:37:33,985 --> 00:37:37,356 but with no money in it? 724 00:37:37,456 --> 00:37:39,591 Were the keys and purse thrown where they lay 725 00:37:39,691 --> 00:37:41,660 by someone who attacked Gail? 726 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,263 Or is it possible Gail placed the keys and purse herself? 727 00:37:47,899 --> 00:37:49,935 2:35 This Sunday morning-- 728 00:37:50,035 --> 00:37:51,937 ROBERT STACK: A new theory about Gail's disappearance 729 00:37:52,037 --> 00:37:54,573 emerged when police interviewed a local late-night disc jockey. 730 00:37:54,673 --> 00:37:55,474 --for being with us. 731 00:37:55,574 --> 00:37:58,109 We're WIGY. 732 00:37:58,209 --> 00:38:00,679 CHRISTIN ROY: I was working the overnight at this radio station 733 00:38:00,779 --> 00:38:03,048 and Gail would call sometime after 1 o'clock 734 00:38:03,148 --> 00:38:06,117 in the morning just to talk and to go on in general 735 00:38:06,217 --> 00:38:09,621 about life experiences. 736 00:38:09,721 --> 00:38:13,692 And then Gayle finally asked if I would like to meet her. 737 00:38:13,792 --> 00:38:16,495 Gail always seemed to be very, very sad 738 00:38:16,595 --> 00:38:20,065 or depressed almost to the point of not being able to move. 739 00:38:20,165 --> 00:38:24,836 Always you felt that Gail was just going to perhaps give up 740 00:38:24,936 --> 00:38:29,307 at any moment, just cease to exist, disappear, literally, 741 00:38:29,408 --> 00:38:30,275 sitting there on the couch. 742 00:38:33,178 --> 00:38:35,581 ROBERT STACK: For years, Gail had struggled with depression 743 00:38:35,681 --> 00:38:38,484 and had been on medication for it. 744 00:38:38,584 --> 00:38:40,819 Several times, she had considered taking her own life 745 00:38:40,919 --> 00:38:44,390 and had talked about it with her sister. 746 00:38:44,490 --> 00:38:46,191 Gail's family reluctantly considered 747 00:38:46,291 --> 00:38:48,293 whether her disappearance might have been a suicide. 748 00:38:51,029 --> 00:38:53,999 I don't feel that Gail committed suicide because I 749 00:38:54,099 --> 00:38:56,402 don't believe that she would ever have left 750 00:38:56,502 --> 00:39:00,205 and left us to go through this kind of pain 751 00:39:00,305 --> 00:39:02,340 and not knowing if she's out there somewhere. 752 00:39:02,441 --> 00:39:04,576 I think that she definitely doesn't know who she is 753 00:39:04,676 --> 00:39:07,312 and that would be, of course, our best 754 00:39:07,413 --> 00:39:08,880 scenario is that she's out there somewhere 755 00:39:08,980 --> 00:39:09,781 and that we can find her. 756 00:39:13,385 --> 00:39:14,886 ROBERT STACK: With the help of truck drivers, 757 00:39:14,986 --> 00:39:17,055 Gail's fairly distributed missing posters 758 00:39:17,155 --> 00:39:18,890 throughout the eastern United States. 759 00:39:22,127 --> 00:39:24,029 Over a year after Gail disappeared, 760 00:39:24,129 --> 00:39:26,465 a truck driver spotted her missing poster 761 00:39:26,565 --> 00:39:30,101 in a Georgia truckstop. 762 00:39:30,201 --> 00:39:33,572 DAN BRADFORD: On Friday, August 14, 1987, 763 00:39:33,672 --> 00:39:35,407 I received a phone call in the evening 764 00:39:35,507 --> 00:39:39,845 from a man named John Scott of Swansea, South Carolina. 765 00:39:39,945 --> 00:39:42,448 Earlier that day he had seen a missing 766 00:39:42,548 --> 00:39:45,617 person's poster of Gail DeLano. 767 00:39:45,717 --> 00:39:49,020 He recognized that woman as one that he had given a ride 768 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:53,224 to several months earlier. 769 00:39:53,324 --> 00:39:54,726 JOHN SCOTT: I was with her somewhere 770 00:39:54,826 --> 00:39:57,295 in the neighborhood of 24 hours. 771 00:39:57,395 --> 00:39:59,531 She didn't talk too much. 772 00:39:59,631 --> 00:40:03,935 But she had that northern accent pretty bad. 773 00:40:04,035 --> 00:40:07,205 You could tell she was from up north. 774 00:40:07,305 --> 00:40:09,941 She was sort of a neat type of woman. 775 00:40:10,041 --> 00:40:12,544 And mostly you catch these regular hitchhikers, 776 00:40:12,644 --> 00:40:14,480 I'd call them, in truckstop [inaudible]. 777 00:40:14,580 --> 00:40:15,714 They don't care how they dress. 778 00:40:15,814 --> 00:40:17,115 You don't have to go. 779 00:40:17,215 --> 00:40:20,051 But this woman was dressed pretty neat. 780 00:40:20,151 --> 00:40:22,353 You could tell she was different than the regular one, 781 00:40:22,454 --> 00:40:23,789 you know what I'm talking about? 782 00:40:23,889 --> 00:40:27,225 You can't travel on the road without any money. 783 00:40:27,325 --> 00:40:29,027 You take that $20. 784 00:40:29,127 --> 00:40:32,263 JOE MALLET: I asked him, did he notice anything about her-- 785 00:40:32,363 --> 00:40:34,700 whether she was on medication, or took any medication, 786 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,735 or anything of this sort. 787 00:40:36,835 --> 00:40:38,937 He did notice some pill bottles, but he had 788 00:40:39,037 --> 00:40:41,473 no idea what might be in them. 789 00:40:41,573 --> 00:40:44,810 My next question to him was how sure he felt that this 790 00:40:44,910 --> 00:40:45,744 was, in fact, Gail DeLano. 791 00:40:45,844 --> 00:40:47,078 Leno 792 00:40:47,178 --> 00:40:49,748 I would bet money on it that that was her. 793 00:40:53,985 --> 00:40:55,286 ROBERT STACK: The truck driver's story 794 00:40:55,386 --> 00:40:59,324 suggested another possibility, that Gail 795 00:40:59,424 --> 00:41:01,026 had engineered her own disappearance 796 00:41:01,126 --> 00:41:02,528 from the Brunswick restaurant. 797 00:41:07,198 --> 00:41:09,334 JOE MALLET: Gail could have told the children that she 798 00:41:09,434 --> 00:41:11,737 was going to a restaurant to meet a gentleman 799 00:41:11,837 --> 00:41:13,805 by the name of John. 800 00:41:13,905 --> 00:41:19,377 Gail could have easily driven to the restaurant, parked her car, 801 00:41:19,477 --> 00:41:22,714 either concealed the key somewhere under the car 802 00:41:22,814 --> 00:41:28,987 or merely tossed them under the car, stating to herself 803 00:41:29,087 --> 00:41:31,923 she was going to give up her identity, 804 00:41:32,023 --> 00:41:34,425 throw the purse in the shrubbery, 805 00:41:34,526 --> 00:41:37,262 and either catch a ride with somebody leaving 806 00:41:37,362 --> 00:41:39,865 the restaurant area or perhaps even a truck 807 00:41:39,965 --> 00:41:41,066 driver leaving the area. 808 00:41:41,166 --> 00:41:43,334 The Gail DeLano I met did not seem 809 00:41:43,434 --> 00:41:46,672 to have it together enough or brave enough or sure of herself 810 00:41:46,772 --> 00:41:48,674 enough to just pack it up and head 811 00:41:48,774 --> 00:41:50,375 for another part of the country without telling 812 00:41:50,475 --> 00:41:52,678 anyone what she was doing. 813 00:41:52,778 --> 00:41:55,747 They couldn't even get Gail DeLano to go for a Sunday drive 814 00:41:55,847 --> 00:41:58,884 or out to a restaurant or for an ice cream, 815 00:41:58,984 --> 00:42:00,852 and I really cannot picture Gail DeLano as just 816 00:42:00,952 --> 00:42:02,988 getting in a car and just going to the other 817 00:42:03,088 --> 00:42:05,023 side of the country. 818 00:42:05,123 --> 00:42:06,658 She could just as well have thrown 819 00:42:06,758 --> 00:42:10,428 her hands up and said, the heck with it all, and just took off. 820 00:42:10,528 --> 00:42:12,598 But what we're afraid of is that she's 821 00:42:12,698 --> 00:42:15,834 out there wandering around, possibly not knowing 822 00:42:15,934 --> 00:42:19,838 who she is, need our help. 823 00:42:19,938 --> 00:42:23,308 I want her to know that if she's well and happy-- and I pray 824 00:42:23,408 --> 00:42:27,045 she is-- she doesn't have to come home. 825 00:42:27,145 --> 00:42:29,180 She doesn't even have to call if she'll just 826 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:33,619 let somebody know that she's alive so that we 827 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,854 can put ourselves at peace. 828 00:42:40,926 --> 00:42:42,761 ROBERT STACK: Gail's parents are no closer to the truth 829 00:42:42,861 --> 00:42:46,698 than on the day their daughter disappeared. 830 00:42:46,798 --> 00:42:48,600 Was she the victim of foul play? 831 00:42:48,700 --> 00:42:54,005 Or is she wandering somewhere, unaware of her own identity? 832 00:42:54,105 --> 00:42:55,607 Or could the blind date with John 833 00:42:55,707 --> 00:42:59,310 merely have been an elaborate ruse Gail concocted to cover up 834 00:42:59,410 --> 00:43:00,478 her own disappearance? 835 00:43:05,550 --> 00:43:07,018 GAIL DELANO (VOICEOVER): "The only thing I want 836 00:43:07,118 --> 00:43:10,488 is to find a man to share my life. 837 00:43:10,588 --> 00:43:15,761 I know I'm lonely and tired of doing it all by myself. 838 00:43:15,861 --> 00:43:18,797 Time is becoming a big enemy to me. 839 00:43:18,897 --> 00:43:23,101 To say it passes slowly is a laugh. 840 00:43:23,201 --> 00:43:25,871 For me, it seems to stand still. 841 00:43:29,107 --> 00:43:31,276 ROBERT STACK: Update, Mobile, Alabama. 842 00:43:31,376 --> 00:43:34,880 A two-and-a-half-year search for Gail DeLano has come to an end. 843 00:43:34,980 --> 00:43:36,948 Tragically, she took her own life 844 00:43:37,048 --> 00:43:40,385 shortly after she disappeared. 845 00:43:40,485 --> 00:43:43,722 A forensic administrator in Mobile watched our program 846 00:43:43,822 --> 00:43:47,025 and recognized Gail's photo as a woman who had died 847 00:43:47,125 --> 00:43:50,862 in a local hotel room in 1986. 848 00:43:50,962 --> 00:43:53,865 CHUCK ELLIOTT: When I saw the photograph, 849 00:43:53,965 --> 00:43:59,270 I immediately saw the resemblance between Ms. DeLano 850 00:43:59,370 --> 00:44:03,008 and an unidentified body that we had 851 00:44:03,108 --> 00:44:07,345 in our laboratory in Mobile. 852 00:44:07,445 --> 00:44:09,580 ROBERT STACK: After two weeks of forensic tests, 853 00:44:09,681 --> 00:44:12,884 positive identification was made. 854 00:44:12,984 --> 00:44:15,286 Police now theorize that Gail DeLano orchestrated 855 00:44:15,386 --> 00:44:16,822 her own disappearance. 856 00:44:16,922 --> 00:44:19,691 They believe that, after she drove to the restaurant, 857 00:44:19,791 --> 00:44:22,160 she hid her keys somewhere on the car, 858 00:44:22,260 --> 00:44:24,062 removed all the money from her purse, 859 00:44:24,162 --> 00:44:27,966 discarded it, and then flew to Alabama. 860 00:44:28,066 --> 00:44:29,768 That evening, she checked into a hotel 861 00:44:29,868 --> 00:44:33,504 in Mobile, where she registered under the name Jackie Stafford. 862 00:44:33,604 --> 00:44:36,374 Three days later, police discovered her body. 863 00:44:36,474 --> 00:44:41,079 She had died from a drug overdose. 864 00:44:41,179 --> 00:44:44,615 On November 11, Gail's family held a memorial service 865 00:44:44,716 --> 00:44:49,087 for her in Brunswick, Maine. 866 00:44:49,187 --> 00:44:52,290 Gail's family showed remarkable courage as, for two long years, 867 00:44:52,390 --> 00:44:54,025 they searched for the truth. 868 00:44:54,125 --> 00:44:55,626 Her loss saddens us all. 869 00:44:55,727 --> 00:44:58,596 And to her parents and sons, we send our deepest sympathy. 870 00:45:06,204 --> 00:45:11,442 For every mystery, someone, somewhere knows the truth. 871 00:45:11,542 --> 00:45:13,544 Perhaps that someone is watching. 872 00:45:13,644 --> 00:45:16,247 Perhaps it's you. 873 00:45:16,347 --> 00:45:19,918 [music playing]
