Unsolved Mysteries with Dennis Farina - Season 4, Episode 18 | Forensic Files

[Music] Next on Unsolved Mysteries, 18-year-old Leroy Dri is killed when his car crashes
into a tree. 25 years later, an autopsy suggests he may have been murdered. A man is crushed
while working on his car and pronounced dead. He comes back to life and describes an
incredible life after death experience. A father and his two sons steal over $15
million in the largest Medicaid scam ever. How did they pull it off? When Alex Cooper disappears, his family
learns that he's been living alive for nearly 40 years. In fact, Alex Cooper doesn't even exist.
Some hot cases, some cold cases, and some cases that will even shock you. I'm Dennis Fina, and this is Unsolved
Mysteries. [Music] [Music] Me, Colorado. 6 p.m. 18-year-old Leroy Dri has just left his girlfriend's house.
[Applause] [Music] He is killed instantly. The coroner's ruling suicide. At his family's request, Leroyy's body
is exumed for an autopsy. His sister Vicki has always been convinced that her brother was murdered. I took a vow that
I would do this for my brother and I don't feel like I can stop until it's done because I would be letting him
down. I already feel like the authorities let him down and obviously someone took his life and that someone
has to stand up and talk for him. For Vicky Marlin, time has stood still since the day her brother died. Her goal
is simple. To bring Leroyy's killer to justice, no matter how long it takes. Leroy Dri was the oldest of four
children. At the age of 17, he fell in love with a 16-year-old girl named Patty. A year later, they were engaged.
On the day he died, Leroy went to a party at Patty's house. Hello. How are you? Good. Good.
He left the party in the late afternoon. a block and a half away, his car smashed
head on into a tree. The first people on the scene were Leroyy's father and brother.
Leroy son. I tried to hug him and I said, "I'm going to go get you some help." So, I
run to the truck and told Doug, "Let's run to the grocery store and call the ambulance.
Other way, sir. Folks, does anybody know what happened here? He had a fight with his
girlfriend. He said he's going to kill himself. It was that off-handed remark from a
bystander that triggered the suicide theory. one, two, and three. The corner come to the hospital, went
over what happened, and then I was the first one to relay the story to him that uh he had had a fight with his
girlfriend and was going to kill himself. Based on that information, the coroner
decided that no autopsy was necessary. He called Leroyy's death auto suicide. I went to the district attorney in Gley
and I said, "I don't believe this uh was a suicide. I believe it was a murder and
I need for you to investigate it." And um he was very rude. He said, "Um, you're just a distraught parent. There's
no reason for us to investigate this. You just go on home and get over it." I just cried and went home.
Why don't you take this? You always liked it. For 11-year-old Vicki, Leroyy's death
was the defining moment in her young life. I remember that my mom was crying for a
long time. And even though I was only 11, I knew there was something wrong. I had to wait until I was an adult to
attempt to solve the problem. I never did believe that Leroy committed suicide. Years later, Vicki paid a surprise visit
to the coroner's office. She expected to be stonewalled. Instead, they told her that they thought that
Leroyy's death had not been fully investigated. Paperwork. And as you can see with this
report, it's very minimal. Well, why is there only two pages? I really couldn't tell you, but I want
to encourage you to look further into this. And if I were you, I would hire a private investigator.
I felt like it was a real strange thing for the authorities to bring it to my attention that something's wrong here.
Vicki became her own investigator. She knocked on doors, talked to neighbors, and looked for anyone who knew Leroyy's
girlfriend Patty or remembered that the day he died. Yeah. Well, that's what they say that
there has been a fighting. Oh, they said there was a big fight. According to the town's people, there
was a party going on at Patty's house and there had been a fight, but that it had not been between Patty
and Leroy. Get out of here. I'm talking to you. That there had been uh several other
family members there that did not like Leroy and that had been drinking all day.
Vicki placed an ad in a local newspaper asking Patty to please contact her. It worked.
I went to the corner and got the coroner's report. It stated that you had told the authorities that he was uh
going to leave your house to kill himself. Did you say that? No. No. I I never said that.
I felt like Patty knew answers but was reluctant to talk. Can you tell me anything about that day?
Anything else? No. Vicki and her family decided to have Leroyy's body exumed, hoping that an
autopsy might provide some answers. It was immediately apparent that uh this young man had sustained actually two
insized wounds to the neck. And they were very characteristic of what I see all the time and other persons who have
uh received stab or slash wounds to the neck. Vicki was stunned. Leroyy's neck showed
two cuts. One a stab wound nearly 2 in long and the other a deep 4-in slash that had severed his windpipe. Based on
this information, the cause of Leroyy's death was changed from auto suicide to undetermined. But crucial questions
remained. Who had attacked Leroy and why? In retrospect, everything leads back to
Patty's house. Every time I think of a scenario, the same conclusion and the same thought. It started at Patty's
house with an argument. Hey, how are you? Good. How are you? You look beautiful.
Leroy arrived for the barbecue at around 5:00 p.m. Leroy come over that day and a lot of
Patty's family was there and everyone had been drinking. I was married to Patty's brother. I was
living in the house with the family for about 8 months before and after this happened.
Just calm down. No, no, you calm down. Patty's family and Leroy had a slight argument.
Kind of a racial argument over girlfriends and boyfriends. Why don't you just go find yourself a nice
little white girl? Huh? Huh? Cuz I love her and she loves me. Okay, you're a argument, Patty walked Leroy to his car.
Vicki thinks that just before he left, Leroy was attacked by one of Patty's family members.
I believe that they continued arguing and that a male person just quickly reached out and uh cut Leroy's throat.
I feel that Leroy was probably fleeing for his life in the automobile and then lost consciousness or lost control of
the vehicle because of the injuries. He would have been in pain and would have been extremely afraid. But the actual
cause of death were injuries sustained from the automobile crash. I feel like I have become a cop in this
whole scenario, which is very difficult at times because I have no training and I don't know what to do and I'm sure
I've made the wrong mistakes at times, but I also know that I love my brother very much and I know that as long as I'm
doing this that there is going to be a conclusion. Vicki claims that Patty contacted her
again and offered to provide an account of the party. But when Vicki called to set up the meeting, she found that
Patty's phone had been disconnected. Vicki is still hoping that Patty will come forward.
A reward is being offered for information leading to the conviction of Leroyy's killer.
If you have a tip, please log on to our website at unsolved.com. [Music] Next, when Alex Cooper disappeared,
there were lots of theories, but no one guessed that Alex Cooper never existed. Cranbrook, British Columbia.
Alex Cooper was a traveling salesman and a family man. Alex was the last person that anyone
would expect to find at the center of a mystery. But all of that changed one morning when
Alex's daughter Laya and her husband Pete were on their way out of town for a shopping trip.
We left Cranberrook quite early that morning and it was actually Pete that said, "That's your dad's car."
Isn't that your dad's car? Oh, you're right. Stop and see what he's doing. Okay. My dad and I were so close. Pete
would have known that if if we didn't stop and say hello, I was just going to sulk all day anyway. So, we did.
Okay. We just walked right by the car. Didn't really paid any attention. We walked down the bank to the water. We
just assumed that he was fishing. At the water, I was curious. When I got back to the car, I started to
get a little bit that feeling in your stomach like this is really unusual. Past curious now.
Laya was worried, so she called her mother. Margaret Cooper hadn't seen her husband in more than 24 hours.
I felt a great deal of fear. Laya suggested that she check out the hotel which was close, the hospitals, and then
if he they didn't find him that she would go to the police. Do you know where he was headed to?
He was on a regular sales trip as far as we know um on his way through the valley
to sell some supplies. There was no footprints or any other physical evidence that may be around the
vehicle. The vehicle was locked. He had a set of clothes that were left in the vehicle along with some fishing tackle.
Nothing that we found around the vehicle would suggest that foul play was involved in this.
The police launched an extensive air and land search, but Alex Cooper had vanished.
Investigators learned that on the day he disappeared, Alex ate lunch at a restaurant less than a mile from where
his car was found. Alex had a very bad habit in that he carried his money in a roll in his front
pocket and if he was going to pay for anything, out came the roll. He took off what he needed, popped it back in and
and uh that worried me a great deal. Excuse me, sir. Yeah. Heading up the road this way?
Yeah. I was wondering, could I catch a ride with you? I'm just going up a little ways.
Sure. Fine, man. Margaret was afraid that someone had robbed and killed her husband and then
dumped his body in the wilderness. Laya thought that something else might have happened.
I focused on the water. I could see him maybe going down to the creek and being a fisherman, seeing what the possibility
was of maybe trying to catch something or drop a line in and he fell in or he had a heart attack and fell in.
Newspaper and television coverage triggered yet another theory. People come to our office reporting that
they had seen a fellow matching the similar description as Alex Cooper for height, weight, same type of clothing.
They'd seen hitchhiking in the area of the vehicle. The investigator's theory was he just left the area on his own.
For what reasons, we have no idea. But Alex hadn't taken his heart medication or credit cards. He took no
clothing except what he was wearing. It was suggested that maybe he had staged disappearance.
I wasn't able to accept that at all. Alec wasn't the kind of man who would be capable of creating that kind of pain
for his family. He was the best father anybody could ever want. And he loved us all. And he
was he was funny and he was sincere and he was honest. And you know, if I'm proven wrong, like
I guess I'll have to eat my words. But I believed everything he ever told me. A year passed with no word from Alex.
Margaret petitioned to have her husband declared legally dead. Her request was granted.
I'm calling in regards to Alex Cooper birth certificate. But when she tried to get his birth
certificate, she made a surprising discovery. No information at all. A birth certificate was never issued in
Alex's name. In fact, before their marriage, there was no record of Alex at all. No high school transcripts, no
military papers, no medical history. He simply did not and had not ever existed.
Who exactly was Alex Cooper? And why had he used an alias for nearly four decades?
4 years after his disappearance, the mystery finally began to unravel when another man was reported missing in
Toronto. He was also a traveling salesman and he looked an awful lot like Alex Cooper.
The man called himself David Cooper. He had been living in a boarding house for about a year. Every week he would
venture out to a new town selling meat products. Yeah, that's right. half a cow. We take
the shell off it, though. During one of David Cooper's business trips, a friend reported him missing.
When police later searched his room for clues, they found this photograph. David
Cooper and Alex Cooper were the same person. [Music] When Mr. Cooper returned home and when
he went in to his room or his flat, he noticed that there was uh evidence of police presence. The dust that's used to
take fingerprints was uh on the wall and it was on a couple of other places. [Music]
What happened to my room? And at that time, his land lady advised him that he'd been reported missing. And
the police were trying to find out where he was. By the time the police returned
to the boarding house, Alex had disappeared once again. We have a person who has something to
hide to a point where he would walk away and leave the family that has been with
for the last 35 years. So, it has to be something that's very serious or at least he believes is very serious.
Update. Shortly after this story aired, a viewer in Hamilton, Canada, recognized Alex
Cooper and called authorities. When they took him in for questioning, Alex told them that his real name was
Alban Arseno. He explained that when he was 26, he was accused of robbing an office of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad where he was working at the time. I was young and I panicked and I said to myself, there is
no way I'm going to be take the fall for this because I didn't do it. I took off at that time
and I became Alexander Cooper at that point. When he married Margaret, he didn't know
that any criminal charges against him had probably been dropped. For nearly 40 years, his true identity remained a
secret. But with his 65th birthday coming up, Alex had a problem. I was due for pension and you're
required to submit a birth certificate. I knew I couldn't produce one. For several months prior to this, I knew
this was coming up. I couldn't bring myself about to tell my family. [Music] So, I walked away.
It was a snap decision and it was a wrong one. [Music] Two days after he was questioned by
authorities, Alex returned home to his family. He had been gone for nearly 5 years.
We're a very close family, and this has been very devastating for all of us, including Alec.
I'm really hoping that we can work through this and uh put it back together. If not the way it
is, maybe something better. We can't pick up where we left off because things have changed,
but we're going to start fresh. Take it a day at a time. The way I feel, I don't deserve for
anybody to accept my apology. That what I'd done, abandonment of your family to me is one
hell of a crime. The biggest job for me at this point will be to make amends. And I would say it'll probably take me
the rest of my life. Next, Sheldon Weinberg is successful and wealthy, but he has not made an honest
living. He's stolen more than $15 million from New York's Medicaid program. [Music]
Lifelong New Yorker Sheldon Weinberg was addicted to the good life. How are you?
Most mornings he left his fashionable Manhattan apartment and was driven to work in a limousine.
Take us to the clinic. Yes, sir. He was making millions in the healthc care field.
His son, Jay, was the company's co-administrator. His other son, Ronald, helped supervise its dayto-day
operations. The Weinebergs equated money with power with a sense of worth. The more money that they made, the
better human beings they were. They were successful. They had the power. They had
the money. The Weineberg's morning commute did not take them to an elite Manhattan medical complex. Their offices
were located in a warehouse in one of Brooklyn's poorest neighborhoods. Sheldon Weinberg and his two sons stole
some $28 million that should have been spent on medical care for the poor. Investigators made it their mission to
prove that white collar crime does not pay. Weineberg and his two sons came to healthc care from the garment industry
after a mysterious fire destroyed their warehouse. The new family business was called the
Bedstar Healthc Care Clinic. It employed over 25 physicians and catered primarily
to Medicaid recipients. We have a lot of patients scheduled. That's very good. They're coming through. Yeah.
The Weinbergs began the scam by talking one of their doctors into submitting false billings to the government.
They began small, manually writing up phony records and phony bills. But once they started getting away with it, they
realized the scam was working. The clinic was submitting up to $30,000 a week in phony claims. Most of the
money went straight to the Weinebergs. This has got the dress business beat all to hell for
sure. Sheldon Weinberg, the father, was a general and Jay Weinberg was lieutenant.
He was the person who implemented these directions at the center and Ronald Weinberg was like a player at the center
closer to the employees. But it was a team effort and everyone participated. Everyone profited and everyone moved
this conspiracy forward. August is 375,000. What happened? I I don't know. Jay, do we bring these
numbers up? Why not? To increase their income, they started billing for patients who didn't even
exist. Their profits jumped from thousands to millions. Where'd you get these names, man?
What the program did was enable phony medical records to be produced for these phony billings.
Do they used Medicaid like it was a private bank account for them. And from that
bank account, the Weinebergs led the high life on the backs of poor people. It was the largest Medicaid fraud in
history. Dad, I think we need to hire some more doctors. I won't say no. Jay used his money to fund his own
commodities exchange and even posed for the advertising with the family's gold Rolls-Royce.
Sheldon bought a lavish estate in Boca Ratan, Florida. Everything in that mansion was gold
leaf. You had gold leaf mirrors. You had gold leaf chairs. She had gold leaf bar
stools. I think their appetite for conspicuous living, for fancy clothes, and especially shoes uh was only outdone
by Alda Marcos. For 7 years, the money rolled in and then a former clinic dentist, Dr. David
Belden Green, was brought in for questioning by a state investigator. We got a tip from a New Jersey banker
who told us that huge New York State Medicaid checks were being deposited into an account in his little bank by
David Belden Green, a dentist. We made the case on Belden Green in fairly short order. He was facing
significant jail time and he agreed to cooperate with us and revealed the Weineberg scheme.
We had a team of about six auditors who painstakingly day after day would go through each building, line after line
after line, and it took weeks and weeks and weeks to trace these Medicaid billings. And we were able to show that
in holidays such as July 4th, the clinic was closed. But the paperwork showed that they build for 1,600 visits on that
particular day. You look at the medical charts, you'll see that a four-year-old boy was uh shown as having smoked four
packs of cigarettes a day and having drank a quarter of booze a day. You found men with gynecological problems.
That's the type of things that jump off the paper at you. Investigators also interviewed people in
the neighborhood whose names have been used for the phony buildings. My name is John Leiden. These people
stated that they were in the clinic maybe once or twice a year, but the billings showed 50 or 60 billings, not
only for the mother, but the the children in the family, sometimes with four, five, uh, six children, and they
showed on on a weekly basis. Investigators finally knocked on the door of Jay Weinberg's Trump Tower
apartment. By now, he was using four different aliases, and he hadn't paid his state income tax for 3 years.
Jay's brother, Ronald, was also arrested the same day. Shelvin, the father and the mastermind
of the scheme, was arrested at his Florida estate and was quickly shipped back to New York. All three men were
booked on suspicion of medical fraud. Bail for Sheldon was set at a4 million. account.
He quickly paid up and was released pending trial. From the evidence that was produced at
trial over 7 years, this clinic made $32 million for Medicaid. We were able to show at trial 28 million
went to the Weineberg accounts. Ronald Weinberg was found guilty and received a 5 to 15ear sentence. Jay was
sentenced from 8 to 25 years, plus additional terms for his tax evasions. They served their time and have been
released. Sheldon received a 7 to 21-year term. But 3 days before his sentencing,
Sheldon Weinberg, accompanied by his wife, Roslin, jump bail. The immediate feeling that I had is that
he may have taken off, but it's just a matter of time before they find him. Hey Rosalyn, let's go.
These are people who are very ostentatious. Coming. I think there'll be a lot of jewelry on
Roslin Weinberg. I think they'll be very loud and I think they may change their identities. They may change their names,
but they're going to be spotted and it's just a matter of time before someone picks up on it.
[Applause] update. Within 3 hours of our broadcast, Sheldon Weinberg was arrested by the FBI in
Scottsdale, Arizona, where he and his wife were living under assumed names. Right after the show aired, we got
specific information from callers who had seen them all over the Scottsdale area. And one of the callers uh told us
that the Weinebergs were using the alias Devita. And this corresponded with information we previously had back here
in New York that they were traveling under that name. So when the caller told us that uh he had seen people that
looked like the Weinebergs using the name Dvita in Scottdale, we knew we had our man.
Shelvin Weineberg was brought back to New York. He was sentenced to 21 years for fraud and 2 to 6 years for jumping
bail. He served 16 years and has since been released. Next, her vital signs had faded. By most
accounts, she was dead. But she came back with a remarkable memory of a near-death experience.
[Music] When she was 7 years old, Crystal Murslock was invited to a birthday party
at a local swimming pool. She had just learned how to swim and she felt comfortable in the water. I don't know
why, but for some reason I went up to the deep end where a group of boys, pushed me in,
and I just started swallowing water, gasping for air, trying to grab up to the top of the water.
I couldn't get any air, and so I just fell unconscious. And then I was just in darkness.
Can we get some breath sounds here, please? Let me have a cast. How are the breath sounds?
Crystal was rushed to the hospital where doctors desperately tried to save her life.
Go ahead. When she came in, her pupils were fixed and dilated. She probably had no brain
activity. She had none of the normal uh reflexes that we associate uh with surviving. She had what's called a
Glasgow coma score of three, which very few people survive if they have such a profound coma.
She's not coming around. She's not coming around. I did not think that she would survive.
Dr. Morris said that she was so close to death that to prepare yourself for her demise that she could expire at any
time. Okay. Did you check a blood pressure, please? At 3:30 p.m., Crystal was clinically
dead, but 20 minutes later, she was revived. She recalls going to a land of beautiful light and being filled with a
great sense of peace. Did Crystal experience life after death? [Music] Crystal sensed that she was floating
over her body, observing the medical team as they attempted to save her life. When I was up there, I saw the doctors.
They were working on me. They were sticking things at my arm and at my nose to help me breathe, and I didn't like
it. That was one of the reasons I wanted to stay up there. As Crystal laid near death, she felt
herself moving into darkness. And then her eyes opened. I looked up and I saw this bright light
at the end of a tunnel and there were colored bricks on the walls of the tunnel. The light kind of pulled me
toward it. It was just the most loving light I've ever seen. And then I saw this lady.
She took my hand. She just led me into the light and through the light and into heaven. I just felt that this was the
place I wanted to be. [Music] But when I got to thinking about how I wouldn't be able to really hug my mom
again or anybody I really loved, then I said, "No, I want to go back." And then I was back in my body.
I wasn't dead. Like my soul, my spirit was still alive. I wasn't dead at all. But for at least 20 minutes, Crystal was
dead and she remained in a coma for 3 days. Eventually, she recovered completely.
[Music] Crystal had never met the doctor who saved her life. But when they were introduced, he seemed familiar to her.
The last time I had seen her, she was profoundly comeomaos. She could not have been in a deeper coma and still be
alive. And then I saw her in follow-up 2 weeks later. I said, "I am Dr. Morris. You probably don't remember me, but I
sure know you, Crystal, because I spent, you know, a grueling 4 hours trying to bring you back to life." And then she
turned to her mother and said, "Well, no, I have seen him before." She stated that she remembered seeing me
from the emergency room. I saw his face and I knew him. It was just like I'd never seen him before and
I knew him. She also described other elements of her resuscitation. She described us pushing
on her chest and putting various lines in her. She told me, "First, uh, you worked on me in the emergency room and
then you took me to another room, you know, which was in fact true." Was Crystal's memory of Dr. Mars
evidence of a metaphysical experience, or was he familiar because Crystal watched him try to save her?
When you carefully look at the reports, I think we've all concluded that something very different is going on.
The patients are able to tell us things about the resuscitation attempt that they wouldn't have any way of knowing. I
have no doubt whatsoever that they had a glimpse of the life hereafter. Let's go. Come on.
The near-death experience can be understood as deriving from a fundamental psychological need to deny
the reality of death because it's too horrible to face the prospect that when the body goes that's it.
I have remembered this. I cannot forget it. It's always there. It's always been very real to me and it's always very
clear to me. Crystal had been to a place where most people have never gone. She is certain
that her near-death experience will stay with her the rest of her life. Coming up, another provocative case. A
man's life is transformed by his near-death experience. One of the strangest stories of a
near-death experience is told by a man named Tom Sawyer. His life was transformed by a frightening accident
that occurred in his own garage. Today, Tom Sawyer is literally a new man. For 33 years, Tom lived a normal,
uneventful life. I'd have to describe myself as pretty much an all-American boy. Uh, you know,
with a name like Tom Sawyer, you have one of two choices. You can become a comedian or an outgoing or end up being
an introvert. Tom was a talented high school athlete. He raised bicycles and he qualified for
the Olympic team. He married Elaine and they had two sons. Tom was a family man and a bluecollar worker.
He described himself as an agnostic. I had thought about such things as religion and so on and I thought that it
was just a bunch of foolishness. camera. What I had figured out was that when you
die, you die. The show was over. Everything goes black and that's it. Hand me the needle-nose pliers. When I
had this experience, I was repairing my pickup truck. I had the front wheels off
it and was lying on my back and the truck suddenly started to move. Oh my god. D.
When Todd ran in and made the phone call, I heard it very clearly and vividly. My name is Todd. I live at 15. There
were other things that I was able to hear that were impossible for me to hear with my ears, such as the conversation
of the paramedics getting into the ambulance 3 and 1/2 miles away. Tom's wife and neighbors worked
desperately to free him. [Music] Two. As I went unconscious, I then experienced a sensation or a feeling of
absolutely waking up. The only problem with this feeling of waking up was that all I saw was
darkness. That darkness gradually took the shape of a tunnel and way off absolutely positively to infinity
appeared this little speck of white light. This was the most beautiful thing that
I'd ever experienced in my life. It was just extraordinary. All the pressure of the truck being on
me and the horrendous pain that was gone and I felt very comfortable. The next thing that I realized was that
I was motionless at the end of the tunnel. I then experienced a complete total life
review. Every day, every event, every minute and second. In other words, I relive the Olympic trials, my marriage,
all of these things at the same time. I was then given a choice to return to normal life or stay and become part of
this light. I chose to stay and become part of that light. But I then had a feeling of going
exactly reversal through the tunnel and slamming back into my body. The truck was lifted off and Tom was
rushed to the hospital. 652 William Tom lost oxygen for 15 minutes. All right, Tom.
Well, I'm probably the only one you'll ever meet that's been kicked out of heaven because since I chose to stay and
become part of that light, and I am back here without any explanation at all, one
of the logical deductive things that you could assume was that I got kicked out for some reason or another.
Surprisingly, he was able to leave the hospital the same day of his accident. He had no broken bones.
When I was riding home, all of a sudden, I blurted out and said, "Oh, it was so beautiful." And Elaine
turned around and said, "What was so beautiful? What are you talking about?" Well, I didn't answer her at all, and I
just continued to moan and groan for the rest of the ride home. Elaine said to me, "Don't you know what
you've had? That's called a near-death experience whereupon my response was, "Well, I don't believe in any of that
hocus pocus baloney." But shortly after I recuperated from this accident, I started saying things that I didn't
understand and my wife Elaine didn't understand. Max Plank. Who Who's that? So, of course, I asked my family if they
knew who that was. And then she asked me, "Do you know who it is?" And my answer was, "Well, no, but you'll be
hearing more about them in the near future." Tom began to jot down complex equations,
formulas that could only have been understood by a master of quantum physics. And he also drew symbols like
the Greek letter sigh. To find out the meaning of these symbols, Tom went to the library. The
librarian suggested a textbook on quantum physics. Possibly you might find this one
interesting. Thank you. You're welcome. When I opened it, there were two things that stood out on that page. There was
the symbol sigh and there was a title just underneath a picture of a man and it said Max Plunk.
Tom says that he knew little about physics before the accident. Yet somehow he had suddenly become familiar with the
subject. But that wasn't the only change. Started being a more loving person. He
started caring about myself and a lot of strangers, a lot of people. He helped a
lot. Anybody that needed help, he would help. These people have undergone profound and
dramatic changes in their personality and their lifestyle and their values. all of them talk about the importance of
wisdom and understanding and certainly a renewed appreciation of life. I think the way these people respond to
the experience and the degree of change that they they experience after it points to a tremendously powerful force.
Our usual explanations of the way the brain, the way the mind works in terms of physiology just don't explain what's
going on. Something larger at work here than we're aware of yet. Heat. [Music] Heat.
Heat. Heat. [Music]
