perhaps you can help I'm Dennis finina and this is Unsolved Mysteries [Music] Larry cin was a southern cowboy who took
ranching seriously he spent more than 30 years working with horses and cattle and
he was very good at it he was tough and he was strong but he was no match for whoever put two bullets in his
[Music] head Lakeland Florida Larry was riding a horse from the time he was 2 years old he loved to
work he left uh Rodeo he was the type of person to get into trouble he stayed away from trouble
course B came along he knows how to take care of himself Larry's uncle earo was the barn
manager for the local Livestock Auction are one of the employees there was Melissa Joe sermons everybody called her
Joe Joe I'm going run these up the office be back later okay I'll see you later hey you ain't said nothing to him
about us have you ear cosin didn't know that Joe and Larry were seeing each other they kept their relationship a
secret because Joe had split up with her boyfriend and Larry had just split up with his
wife Joe's ex-boyfriend wasn't taking the break up well de occasions I've caught him
following her watching her he was very upset she had left his house and and he was having to live by
himself again he followed her continuously Joe and my other daughter went to the store he would follow them
Midnight you'd see we even caught him sneaking down under the kitchen window listening to their conversation one
night welcome ladies and gentlemen to sasus arena in Florida on a Saturday night in May Larry and Joe were in Dade
City Florida for the weekly Rodeo right now Larry was one of the local Stars his favorite event was team
ring that night Joe stuck by Larry s right up to the minute he and his partner were called into the
box St out of H number one right on [Applause] ladies and gentlemen we are looking at a
brand new winning time Larry and his Partners split a $350 purse the rodeo finished late that night
Larry and Joe went out to breakfast around 2: a.m. [Music] It is believed they arrived back at his
trailer around 4:15 Sunday morning after that no one knows exactly what happened the next morning Joe didn't
show up for work earo contacted the sheriff's department and drove with them to Larry's trailer as soon as I got to the
trailer a feeling came to me that I knew in my mind that something bad was wrong
I really appreciate it do Sheriff's Office is anybody home when the deuty put the key in and
open the door the smell was [Music] Unreal and I knew then that Larry was dead Larry cin was found nude on his
bedroom floor he had been shot four times with a handgun twice in the head his had not been slept in and one of Larry's
guns was missing however there was no sign of a struggle or robbery there was also no sign of Melissa Joe's
sermons I felt like both of them would be there when we opened the door being both of them was missing at the time as
soon as they told ear there was only one body he called us and told us at that time that my daughter was missing they
did not know where she was at some somebody watched Larry knew Joe was with Larry followed Larry home and
was waiting for him personally I feel like it was somebody real jealous of his actions
that particular night being with job spending the night with job I said out didn't I tell you to stay
away from him I think Joe was probably taking a gunpoint and and at a later time
murdered I think Joe's did the Poke County Sheriff's Department launched an allout
investigation Joe's ex-boyfriend was the Prime Suspect if we want to look at Joe's
ex-boyfriend as a suspect in this case I think that he would have probably committed the offense in in a different
situation I don't think that it would have happened in the residence I don't think he would have allowed Joe and
Larry to spend time in residence alone and also the fact that of course there's no
struggle he was able to give us an alibi for his particular time and location when the actual murder occurred I don't
feel that the ex-boyfriend uh at this time has any involvement I have no evidence to indicate
that soon Joe herself became a suspect authorities believe she may be the only person who could have gotten close
enough to Larry to kill him without a struggle but why would she kill the man she
loved I think Larry could have made her mad he can make anybody mad in a split second he'll push and push and push
until he does make you mad they might have gotten an argument and it led into one thing or
another I mean she could have been joking but it just led into to something violent okay go ahead and shoot me go
ahead in my heart I strongly believe that she is life and that she is [Music] hiding based on everything that I've
learned at this time I feel that Joe is in some way involved in the murder either actually committing the murder or
possibly a witness to it uh but she has some type of involvement Andor knowledge about
it but most people believe Joe sermans was a victim I think her ex-boyfriend's kidnapped
her I hope she I would like to think she's still alive but I really don't believe that they could hold her this
long I believe she's dead I come to terms with God I just want him to help me settle this case to find out who did
it and let them pay the penalty that they should pay ever since the night Larry cin was murdered there have been
sightings of Melissa Joe sermons at truck stops in Florida Texas and Kansas two witnesses had claimed they saw her
behind the wheel of a big rig hauling livestock the authorities believe the sightings are
reliable erlo cin does not I feel like by now she'd have made a a move to come back or see her mother and her sisters I
can't believe that anybody's ever really seen her they've seen people that they thought maybe was
her Melissa Joe sermans is 5' 10 in tall blonde and blueeyed when last scene she
weighed 175 lb if you have any information about this case please log on to our website
at unsolved.com next a remarkable series of UFO sightings were caught on tape in the
Skies over Mexico when thousands of people claim to have seen a UFO and hundreds provide
videotaped evidence even non-believers have to to wonder do UFOs really exist Mexico City Mexico July 11th
1991 the last total eclipse of the sun of the century thousands of people stood in the
streets of Mexico City as it plunged into total darkness in the middle of the day a television executive named guo
aragain was videotaping ing the eclipse when he noticed an unusual object overhead when I saw it I said oh my God
this is a UFO a real UFO I mean you can look at it you can look the video and be
absolutely convinced what are you looking at 8 days after the eclipse haime Maan a
respected television journalist presented the aragen footage as part of a special UFO
broadcast the network was flooded with phone calls the telephone lines blew up I mean
40,000 calls at the same time then the the system was completely shut out we received more than 15 videos and we now
know for sure that at least in seven of them we can see the same ship that was recorded by GMO
Arin Eric Aguilar a 19-year-old student at a university in Mexico sent in one of
the many videos he was setting up to film the eclipse from a rooftop when his girlfriend spotted something unusual in
the sky at first all we saw was a white dot in the sky that's all we could see in the
beginning later we saw that this dot was shining brightly it wasn't aamy it was a larger object
and it was giving off light it was shining at about the same time 60 mi from Mexico City a businessman named
Luis Lara videotaped a similar object as I raised the camera you could see something in the clouds and it was a
metal object you can see clearly it's not a star it's a UFO because it had a shadow
underneath if it were a star a planet you would see clearly that it would be completely
luminous but this one had a little Shadow underneath another video was shot by the
Bruton family in pbla a city 80 m east of Mexico City in the magnified reton video you
can see an odd wavelike disturbance behind the pulsating disc some kind of energy
tra hamee mosan enhanced the hour gain footage and compared it to the Bruton tape the objects were photographed
nearly 100 m apart yet they were amazingly similar uh the video from pbla was absolutely
identical to the one we had seen with Arin in Mexico it was for the first time in
history never before we you had a tape of two UFOs in two different places at exactly the same
moment but there was more 2 months later at a military air show in Mexico City an
engineer named vincenti Sanchez shot this [Music] video I was following one of the planes
and I saw a shiny dot in the camera it didn't fly like a plane it was undulating I didn't know what it was so
I let the planes go off and I focused more on this shiny dot in the sky what I saw was a bright round object
about 10 m in diameter it was made of silver was shining very brightly and reflected the sunlight a
lot the object appeared undulated and moved around very quickly a year later the military air
show was staged again and again Witnesses saw a mysterious flying object this time the disc descended
rapidly and vanished it is now a year later at the same air show everyone anticipated
another sighting sure enough just as a squadron of helicopters flew by the familiar metallic disc
appeared it was traveling Against the Wind so much so that had it been a balloon considering the force of the
helicopter blades it would have crashed but no it kept on its path very very straight and steady till it got lost in
the sky Optical enhancement of this video seemed to reveal that the object crossed
in close proximity to the helicopters the military hasn't make any comment on that sighting or any sighting
and there are many more where we can relate the military or military planes to videos and however we haven't have
any kind of answer from them since the eclipse there have been thousands of sightings throughout Mexico
the witnesses range from Pilots to doctors to bus drivers and even school children these drawings were made by a
class of fifth graders who say that they saw the UFOs the pictures are strikingly
similar in detail three shining lights with the brightest light in the [Music] center the objects were silver with red
one of them was coming down and the other one that you could see in the sky was silver when they were a little lower you
could see the shape of the objects they were like saucers with a dome everything silver and though it was
harder to see there seemed to be a kind of reddish magnetic field all around it we haven't found a single reason why
these little kids made this story up there were so many and when you talk to them you can feel the honesty that they
transmit they're just little kids they don't care about the UFO conspiracy they don't care about if they are real or not
they saw what they saw are the UFOs real it's hard to deny the images captured on
videotape a skeptic would suspect a hoax but for those who have witnessed the mysterious objects in the sky over
Mexico seeing is believing next viewers help capture an alleged con man who infiltrated audist
cap and later he is known as the heart attacker he's broken the hearts and bank accounts of women all over the country
Pearson Florida we recently told you the story of Rusty a newcomer to the sunny Sand's
nudest Resort as soon as he arrived Rusty became a favorite among the club's members he opened a video rental store
in a nearby town and convinced some of Sunny Sand's residents to invest thousands of dollars in his business
then just 7 months after he arrived a neighbor's 11-year-old daughter accused Rusty of molesting
her he was arrested for sexual battery against a child Under 12 and the court ordered him to be held without
[Music] bail however many of Sunny Sand's residents believed in Rusty they were sure he was innocent they convinced the
judge to release him on 25 $5,000 bail but Rusty's supporters were wrong 2 Days Later Rusty disappeared taking with
him more than $50,000 of the Investor's money as well as betraying their trust no matter what happens we know
we'll never get our money back but right at this point the money is immaterial right now the big thing I want Rusty CAU
is what he did to that child police later learned that Rusty was wanted in both Florida and Texas for
fraud update within minutes of our broadcast several viewers from South Carolina
called our teles Center to report that they recognized Rusty his real name is Garland Russell
he was living under the assumed name of Ronald Edward Kent one of 38 aliens he used over the
years Russell was arrested and ultimately convicted of sexual battery of a child Under
12 he was sentenced to life in prison because his victim was so young Russell is ineligible for parole he will
spend the rest of his days behind [Music] bars leis carluchi his nickname is the
the heart attacker he runs a con that the police call a marriage Swindle women he
were Forest Hills New York carluchi usually meets his prey in restaurants and friendship clubs excuse
me hi a woman we'll call Barbara was one of his many victims I was out with a friend and we were sitting and having a
drink and he sent over drinks and and got to talking and that's how we first met first impression when I first saw
him no Style no class however he was warm very friendly he had a good sense of humor so I
started dating him I thought well he was a pretty nice guy the power vested in Me by the state
of New York I Now Pronounce You man and wife you may now kiss the bride after only 7 weeks Barbara married
Lis carluchi in a small ceremony at the bar where they' first met right after the wedding their relationship began to
fall apart he kind of jumped on me for talking to other people at the wedding and he got very angry about the idea
possibly that we even got married after the honeymoon they moved into an unfurnished apartment in New
York where they lived out of suitcase cases haruchi would not let Barbara out of his sight and paid for their living
expenses with Barbara's credit card the change in his attitude and his personality shocked me because there
were times when he was real nice and then all of a sudden he'd flip and it would be like black and white and then I
really got scared I didn't have what he thought I had which was money the man was very physical you ever pull
that again I couldn't turn my head he' pull my hair if I look the wrong way I'd get
smacked of course I couldn't talk to anyone at all and if we were in a restaurant I couldn't even order
anything from the waitress because he felt like I was looking at the person to Signal or whatever can I get you some
dessert don't thank you just a check man just a check carluchi maxed out Barbara's credit cards emptied her bank
account and when they went out together he used Barbara's money until it ran out Barbara was
desperate I was just held captive let's put it that way for about 6 months he caught me with the razor I was
going to cut my wrist because that was the only way I could get out he knew that I was going to die
whether I did it myself or I would just waste away and die so his reaction was well I may as well let you go cuz you're
going to die 6 months after their wedding LS carluchi left Barbara having spent all
of her money a total of $20,000 update when this story aired viewers in Nashville Tennessee identified car
as a local restaurant manager LS Sarah the next day the police arrested kuchi at his house where he was living
with a new wife who was pregnant a viewer in Los Angeles called in and told police that she too was a
carluchi victim while she did not marry carluchi she claimed that she was swindled out of
$65,000 LS kuchi was charged with bigamy coion Larsen and fraud he was convicted
on all charges after serving just four years in prison kuchi was released to supervised
[Music] custody next when a young woman's body is found floating in the Chesapeake Bay
two former boyfriends emerge as Suspects [Music] Maryland's Chesapeake Bay Coastal police on a routine Patrol
make a gruesome find a lifeless body of a young woman she was identified as a 33-year-old ship stward named Nancy
Manny Nancy Manny was one of of the few female members of the seaf farers international Union she had even worked
on giant Freighters that fed natural gas all over the world but now she was dead
possibly murdered her two ex-boyfriends became the prime suspects when was the last time you saw
Nancy Wednesday Billy Mesmer one of nany's ex-boyfriends was questioned 2 days after her body was found Billy had
written poems to nany while they were like now those poems aroused suspicion perhaps most disturbing were these lines
excited breath escapes his lips while he waits without the light no one will ever
hear your screams as the Predator begins to bite the poem was signed sweet dreams
Billy the title nightstalker I've had experts look at it trying to analyze it and they have
concur that you know he did have an obsession with Nancy at this time yeah I can understand where they
would come up with the word uh obsessive Nancy was the love of my life I wrote her poetry constantly which is a very
obsessive thing it's full of feelings and emotion Billy insisted he would never hurt Nancy but it was clear that she was
an independent woman and might not have had the same passion for him that he had
for her she was very attractive and fun she you know had a lot of boyfriends but
she hadn't really found a person that she was destined to spend the rest of her life with she left you for someone
else I don't understand why you keep accusing me of things I really felt that the investigation was going in the wrong
direction they were crawling all over me with a microscope and I was terribly frustrated that the person who actually
did this was going to get away she came by Billy Mesmer had a plausible Alibi and was cleared as a suspect but not
before he pointed the finger at certain members of the seaf far's International Union at the time of her death Nancy had
been studying at this Union run Training Center she was dating a union member who
was connected to the [Music] school Billy says that Nancy came to his apartment a few days before her
death hey Nancy come on in hi Billy are you okay Nancy had a very very bad falling
out with her boyfriend he had told her that if she didn't do things as he wanted he would
make things very difficult for her within the union she simply said if you do this then and I will expose you for
what you are according to Billy the secret Nancy threatened to reveal may have had something to do with illegal
drugs it's been rumored for years that certain members of the Union have been involved in international drug
trafficking not only that but possible disappearances within the union and within the local community I've had
several people come cles Rec L to me to report that they suspected uh illegal activity at the school was the cause of
Nancy's death and they fear for their lives or their jobs which is why they don't want to be known after her death I
had received some telephone calls from friends of hers that were also union members who had told us that they felt
that her death was not accidental and that it was possibly linked with the Union and with the
school for Nancy's sister Linda the rumors seemed even more believable when she received ny's personal effects from
the school in going through ny's things I had noticed that a lot of things were missing particularly pictures of her
Union boyfriend and his family and I know that she wouldn't have thrown them away she would have kept
those there was more nany's camera was empty and its internal mechanism jammed as if someone had forcibly ripped out a
roll of film I feel that someone had tampered with her camera and so that led me to be
more suspicious that someone in the school had obviously entered her [Music] room there are also suspicions about
nany's final work assignment before entering the school nany sailed on the SS myquiz a ship which employed many
union members she died in August in June I got the slaughter from her when she was working on the
ssmz one paragraph says things are so bad on this ship that I'm getting death threats
now and I let that go and I regret it every day that I didn't demand to know who exactly said that and why and what
exactly was said investigators also thought there could be a link between Nancy's death and the 1988 murder of a
young woman named Elizabeth Greenberg like Nancy Elizabeth had the same hair color same eye color and they were
nearly identical in height and weight Elizabeth was also a ship Steward and also a member of the sea farers Union
Elizabeth even worked the same Indonesia to Japan trade route that Nancy would sail a few years later both women were
attending the Union's training school when they died and both women were found floating in the Chesapeake
Bay it's Eerie when you look at both cases the similarities in their life and their Lifestyles as yet we haven't found
a common denominator between the two boyfriends or close friends but uh somewhere along the line there's got to
be a thread I fear that Nancy's death is going to be simply written off as unsolved and even though everyone in the
county knows that something Cloak and Dagger is going on they're terrified to talk about it with the information that
has been given to me on an anonymous basis over the past 2 years since Nancy's death I'm beginning to fear for
my own life update more than 3 years after Nancy Manny's body was found in the Chesapeake
Bay Police received an performance tip that led to a surprising new development a new suspect in the case
John David om Oma was serving time in prison where he bragged to a fellow inmate that he killed a girl featured as
he said on that show Unsolved Mysteries when first questioned Oma said he met Nancy in a bar he claimed that they had
gone back to the ship where she worked and that she fell overboard later om pleaded guilty to
second degree murder and was sentenced to an additional 18 years he has since been
released next a vicious sexual predator abducts young girls and leaves them for dead Edmonton
Canada mom I forgot my shoes three-year-old Mandy lived with her aunt across the street from a
park Mandy spent most of her afternoons at the playground which was almost like her own
backyard come on you can do it early one evening Mandy went back to the park to get her shoes that she had
left by the slide okay guys she never came home I got worried and I went out to go
and find her and when I did get out to the park there was a guy out there playing ball hockey with his kids he
said he had just seen Mandy about 5 minutes earlier getting her shoes but he didn't see which way Mandy went Bandy
Audrey searched the area for two solid hours finally she called the police they too came up empty-handed
[Music] 19 hours later a group of horseback Riders found Mandy in a remote F 9 miles
from her home Daryl just a minute Mandy had a 1-in welt on her neck from being choked
and had been sexually assaulted she was partially clothed and both of her shoes were
missing it was quite obvious to everyone involved that she would had been left for dead she was injured to such an
extent that that the perpetrator definitely wanted her to be dead but thankfully Mandy was still
alive I wouldn't have believed that she could have made it out there where they found her but then when when I thought
about it after she's she's she was a miracle it was a miracle she lived through that apparently the as salent had driven
into the field and thrown Mandy from the car without stopping Mandy initially wasn't able to
tell us an awful lot she was only 3 and 1/2 years old however as time progresses
she is giving us more and more information she is actually a very bright young girl uh in my opinion uh if
she sees the person or person's responsible she will be able to identify them I think we have something over here
within 5 miles of the spot where Mandy was found police discovered tattered pieces of her skirt and one of her
sneakers they believed the as salent tossed them out right after he dumped Mandy by the side of the
road command post you send a member of ID end up location the shoe was minus the laces uh we're still missing at this
time her left shoe the person responsible may be saving these items as a bit of a trophy and we're hopeful as
well that perhaps some somebody may have seen the shoe or perhaps a part of that
jean skirt in a person's vehicle 4 months after the assault a local newspaper reported that the police
had uncovered no further [Music] Clues don't fa you cheated 2 Days Later another
abduction a 6-year-old girl and her 5-year-old friend were playing outside their apartment building Just 4 miles
from where Mandy lived [Music] let 99 100 an 11-year-old boy saw a man getting into a blue van with a little girl
it was 6-year-old coren gustaffson nicknamed Punky the police immediately set up a command post and launched a
widespread search we we was just feeling sick and worried what could happened to her and
what could you be doing to her if we ever find her 2 days passed then then at a truckyard a driver saw what he thought
was a ragd doll it was Punky puny had been raped smothered but unlike Mandy's case Clues had been left
at the [Music] scene we were able to obtain Footprints and tire prints the tire prints
indicated that the suspect drove a midsize North American front-wheel drive vehicle with Goodyear invictor GLS on
the back with approximately 20% wear and ball tires on the front the footprints indicated that he
wore a miter type baseball cleat size 5 1/2 to 7 this is a patented tread design
manufactured in Canada we were able to determine that Karine was in fact killed at another location and dumped in the
truckyard much the same as what happened to Mandy being dumped in the field the distance the victims were
transported after abduction uh what was done to the victims by the offender uh all facts of the case uh
lead me to believe that both crimes were committed by the same individual Ron McCay is Canada's
foremost criminal profiler he has developed a detailed personality portrait of the
asent in my opinion this offender is uh in his lens to early 20s he probably doesn't have a
girlfriend somewhat of a loner he's a Fantasy motivated individual uh and his fantasy is only
satisfied temporarily so therefore uh after he regains some confidence uh and if the
fantasy continues untreated uh then the probability of him re offending in a similar fashion is a very
real probability someone out there knows this guy our bad guy doesn't have to look
like any kind of a monster he could just look like your boy next door I know it would give our family a
sense of relief knowing that he's he's Behind Bars and they're not somebody else isn't going to have to go through
it what we're going through and some Port of little kid isn't going to have to suffer like like Corine must have and
as long as he's out on the streets every little kid is in Jeopardy update 10 years after the murder of
Corine Punky gustavson Clifford slay was identified as her killer slay was already serving
time in a Canadian prison for an unrelated sexual assault DNA evidence led to his conviction in
the Guston case slay was sentenced to life in prison for the murder he will be eligible for parole in the year 2030
