county fair in myrtle point oregon in mid-august 1986. jeremy was never seen again since that
weekend a number of clues and rumors have surfaced jeremy's parents and the police have
come to one inescapable conclusion someone living in myrtle point oregon knows exactly what happened to jeremy
they're not talking but they know to those who knew him jeremy was a popular sports loving boy he looked
forward to beginning high school in the fall he always had lots to do and places to
go he played basketball and baseball and football and he knew everybody and everybody knew him
he was always a real outgoing kid [Music] every august the coos county fair rolls
into myrtle point [Applause] this is the occasion of a week-long celebration [Applause]
and a jeremy bright and close friend john it was one of the high points of the year
normally jeremy lived a hundred miles away in grants pass where his mother worked
but during the week of the fair he and his younger sister were staying with their stepfather ollie in myrtle point
on friday august 15th holy went to work before dawn and didn't see jeremy lee for the fair
but that day a handful of people saw jeremy and johnny enjoying the festivities around 4 45 that same thursday jeremy
placed a long-distance call to his mother diane he told her he was having a terrific
time at the fair she told jeremy she'd be back in myrtle point in two days to pick him up
five hours later at 9 40 p.m jeremy went to a local tavern owned by his grandmother to meet his stepfather now
home from work he asked to borrow some money from him here take some of this thanks
this was the last time jeremy was ever seen by his family you behave yourself [Applause]
two days later on saturday diane arrived in myrtle point to meet jeremy he never showed up
i went and got my car and i went to ole's house at kids and stepdad's house and i went in and on the tv set
was his house keys from our grants pass apartment and his wallet and his new watch that he had told me
he'd bought i knew when i found those things that he was around somewhere because he wouldn't
leave without him as a carnival played on diane's fears began to escalate [Music]
on saturday night she contacted the police at first they believed her son had succumbed to the romantic lure of the
carnival and had run away he did like the fair there was the thought that perhaps he
was hiding out intending to leave with the fair people and i've explored that possibility in every
way that i can think of i can't lose sight of the fact that it is possible that he
left with members of that fair troupe however in this particular case i've talked to
family members and and friends of his that knew him well and he was just not from what i can
learn the type of a kid who would have struck out on his own on sunday august 17 1986 the fair folded
up its tent myrtle point returned to normal within days ominous rumors concerning
jeremy's disappearance began to surface the week of the fair was a time for partying
according to one rumor jeremy attended one of these parties and was offered a beer laced with a powerful illegal drug
either hey we're looking for a beer yeah hey don't open the other one there's one already open right here you
mean i can have this sure knock yourself out i've identified at least two and perhaps
three parties where jeremy was present that the overdose theory could have occurred
in it was reported that jeremy had a heart murmur and therefore a stimulant of some
kind might have uh done some bodily damage to him just just by his sheer taking it
an anonymous source told the police another story he claimed that three local tufts had
shown up and harassed jeremy and his friends while they played in a swimming hole
then things went terribly wrong is that a gun what this it's a toy it was at the jail where an inmate
related to me the information that he had heard wherein one individual from the myrtle point area was
target practicing or shooting indiscriminately in the water in the area where jeremy was uh was swimming
all right i'm just gonna sight it don't move show me what you're made of now that's better pierce's ear yeah i bet
you can you think so yeah all right all right i'm gonna try this look good in it
[Music] [Applause] they subsequently took him to a cabin maybe within 10 miles of the myrtle point area and
attempted to nurse him back to health to no avail that he died as a result of that injury either from
loss of blood or from infection or what have you [Music] that same source through the jail indicated that
his uh body would be found within 200 feet of this cabin in a in a shallow grave
police searched the area surrounding the cabin and found nothing all the rumors were hard to handle all
of them are hard to think about every time i'd hear a new one i'd have nightmares for a week or so
the one that i hope is not what happened is one where he suffered for two weeks before he died
and they buried his body because the thought of him suffering for two weeks just
makes me sick there were two more strange clues jeremy was last seen by his family on
thursday night the following night the sister of jeremy's friend johnny had a disturbing encounter
it was friday night of the fair and it was between midnight and one when we were leaving my sister's
apartment and we came down the stairs and we got to the last stair and we almost ran into one of the
neighborhood guys and i jumped back because it startled me because he was completely covered in
blood and i mean it was just all over him and it kind of scared me what happened to you
well this he goes oh this this happened hours ago and he just laughed and then he went
into one of the apartments a half hour after this encounter johnny arrived at the same building where
another sister lived according to her he was overwrought and terrified but didn't
want to explain whether it is just coincidence or whether they're directly related to
jeremy's disappearance is another one of the the mysteries that you still have to sort through to try to
determine what indeed did happen the three or four people whose names keep reappearing in all the rumors and
all of the reports they're not exactly what anybody would call pillars of society
but as long as these men are out on the street they can hurt somebody else's child the same as they hurt mine
and if nobody comes forward that's leaving them out there and if they did to my son what people are saying they
did and what they've been heard themselves say that they did they've got no business on the public streets
and we can't do nothing until we get the whole story and make them pay for what they did to
my boy i i would just encourage anyone especially those people who i feel have information that would help this
investigation greatly to just simply have the courage to say yeah i'm scared to death
but in a case like this my being scared doesn't warrant this family's pain [Music]
if you've ever been stopped for a traffic ticket you might have noticed that the officer approached cautiously
imagine what's going through his mind you know who he is because of his uniform but he has no idea who you are
to him it could be another routine traffic violation then again it could be that one case
where the unexpected happens and his life is on the line our next story is about just such a case
it happened in a rural county in virginia where a police officer not been killed for over 20 years
until last november [Music] in the early morning hours of friday november the 4th 1988 patrolman john
martin a 17-year veteran of the lee county virginia sheriff's department was making his regular rounds
when he noticed something unusual [Music] 604 to jones go ahead 604. i'll be checking the park vehicle out at
the western lee county health clinic [Music] john martin reported to our dispatcher in jonesville at 2 58 a.m
on the morning of november 4 that he was checking a car parked behind the lee county
health clinic in ewing virginia 604 jones this vehicle just pulled out on and then he came back and said that the
car was moving out on him and then he was stopping it about halfway down the driveway and that it was a large
light brown car possibly a cadillac and he couldn't give the license number because it was on the inside of the car
in the back window that was a last transmission john martin made to the dispatcher
authorities believe that martin left his patrol car and approached the driver to
question him see your operator's last complete [Music] 604. he didn't respond to the radio so we had
an officer probably seven miles away that we sent to check on him when i arrived at his location i found
officer martin lying in the driveway of the clinic at the time of arrival i didn't know
what had happened to him when i got to him he told me doug i've been shot number bad
i contacted the dispatcher and had a rescue squad dispatched on where you're going to be all right
you know i knew he'd been seriously wounded and of course he was a good friend of mine
as well as a fellow officer i knew the point when i found him he was probably critically injured and it was
very important that i'd be able to maintain the scene and to be able to get what information i could from him
while he was conscious and that was the most important thing to do at the time and that's what i attempted to do
did you see who did it or did you get a description of the vehicle he was in his mid-20s
had a mesh tag i'd ask him about the animal being about the tag he advised me the tag was in the real
window that it was a dealer tag however he could not read the registration numbers from the tag
but he was able to give me a rough description of the vehicle as a buick light brown or tan
and it was a buick from the 1970 to 1977 perhaps one of the large buicks martin was able to give officer parsons
one final piece of information about the lysis plate it read land of lincoln which is the
motto for the state of illinois did you shoot into the car or shoot anyone yes i shot at the vehicle
he had advised me he had emptied his gun into the car i checked his weapon and it
was empty he had fired all six rounds from his revolver martin was rushed to the nearest
hospital 22 miles away suffering from three bullet wounds doctors removed a 44 caliber bullet from
his body but he lapsed into a coma [Music] three days later john martin died [Music]
on november the 10th john martin was laid to rest with full honors police officers from seven states and
hundreds of area residents came to pay their final respects to the 39 year old father of four
[Music] i just thought it wouldn't happen to him and we had talked about it but it don't feel real
cause i just feel like our officer's job is to protect other people and that's all he was doing
but we just out of this we're hoping that we can possibly catch whoever done it that's our main priority right now
that's all we want two weeks ago a man believed to be john martin's murderer was arrested by
sheriff's deputies in illinois on november 5th effingham illinois police impounded a stolen car burnt
almost beyond recognition inside they discovered evidence that this was the car that was used in john
martin's killing the lee county sheriff's office was immediately contacted and their first question was does your burnt
car have a bullet hole in the door and our answer was yes and at which point they decided to send
a team of investigators to effingham and continue the investigation police believe that the bullet holes
were caused by john martin's gun during their investigation authorities uncovered information that linked a 24
year old man named david wayne mills to the car during a search of the home where mills
was living investigators found additional evidence connecting him to the murder of john martin when mills
arrived home he was immediately arrested mills admitted being present when officer martin was killed but claims
that an accomplice fired the gun this alleged accomplice has been questioned but no formal charges have
been made on january 5th mills was extradited back to virginia where he is currently being
held without bail during questioning he gave authorities information which led them to a 44
caliber pistol ballistics tests have confirmed this was the gun that killed john martin
david wayne mills has been charged with first-degree murder however the prosecuting attorney may elevate the
charge to capital murder which carries a death penalty [Music] in a moment the story of a mysterious
canadian prospector who left the fortune that may be worth three million dollars
someone watching tonight may be his heir [Music] last year on unsolved mysteries we told
you about george marsh and charlie shield who when they died left unclaimed fortunes
both cases were solved and legitimate heirs came forward to claim their inheritance
tonight we have another missing air story dan willens a mysterious canadian prospector spent a lifetime finding gold
according to public records he left an unclaimed estate of nearly one hundred thousand dollars but willen's wealth may
be worth much much more than that some say as much as three million dollars and as theirs may well be alive today in the
united states [Music] dan williams is one of thousands of men who poured into canada wanting to strike
it rich they came from all walks of life between trucks in the wilderness they settled in rough mining towns like haley
berry in ontario canada where dan williams was well known by 1925. oh he's not laughing
there we go aces twos nine thrown together by fate and greed these rough prospectors spent their nights
playing poker and their days hoping to find that one strike that would make their fortune
gentlemen the game is yours dan williams and his closest friends relied on each other to share information and mistakes
and claims even they didn't know who dan williams really was thanks a lot dan he was very private
i don't know if i ever listen to him ever brag about himself never never or comment about as fast never never
i consider him as a gentleman gentleman always well dressed and his walk and his
stance i would take her to be a military man good night really good here dan williams had a
partner bill costner one night another miner pulled out a map he told dan and bill that there might be
gold in red lake 850 miles to the west you've heard of red lake heard of it i've heard of it yes
well here it is mm-hmm right here i've staked some claims on this point and i've got some real good showings
i think we should go there i think you're right dan williams and bill karchner journeyed for more than a
month with a desolate outback in the next year williams and his partner staked 12 claims around red lake
finally their hard work turned up tiny glints in the sand that meant gold from that small beginning one of
canada's most profitable gold mines sprang to life and with it the community of red lake
the koshner woolens mine drew 45 million dollars worth of gold worth a billion dollars in today's
values running a lucrative mining company didn't interest dan his real love was panning for gold
dan williams continued his solitary prospecting often he disappeared in the wilderness
alone for months at a time still staking claims and sifting through sand there was another side to dan williams
the rough outdoorsman led a double life as a gentleman of culture and breeding every autumn he take over an entire
floor of the elegant king edward hotel in toronto wax his mustache and entertain his friends with lavish
amounts of champagne had a social life that very few people knew anything about i think and he loved
life he there's none of the vote he loved life he liked social ability there was no nothing about this
from prospector to gentlemen and back again dan williams kept up this double life for years
in the autumn of 1936 dan williams mysteriously vanished while on one of his prospecting trips
baffled by his partner's absence bill koshner began to search for willems he said he went to his cabin and found
everything immaculately in place he got that eerie feeling that he had just left things in place and
was gone and wouldn't be found when he disappeared the story was that he'd taken a trip into the bush and he
was never heard of again he was lost that he perished now dan was a good bushman and he wasn't a weak man he was
a very strong man and i don't think for one minute that he was lost i think he went back to england and took
his social place in life i'm in for five five is that all um some believe that dan may have been killed
after a poker game and his body thrown down an abandoned mine shaft i think i'm gonna take a chance if you
got any poker game it's just hard to say what might have happened give me the one
i want money and losers don't work too well together especially if they lose their money i'll see you
five and i'll race 20. he was a good poker player [Music] the truth of dan williams disappearance
remains as elusive as his past only a handful of clues exist he appeared to be from england
he was skilled as a horseman and at cards he never married one prospector believes he may have had
a sister in england his unclaimed estate was valued 1936 at 71 000. this money held by the public
trustee of ontario is now worth nearly one hundred thousand dollars but we know that willian's owned half
the shares in the costner williams mine that his partner bill brought back most of those shares seven years after
willems vanished those shares alone would have been worth at least eight hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in 1943 45 years later it could be worth much more yet no one can locate the money
terry howes a toronto-based tracer of missing heirs has learned that dan willens may not be his true name
we have reason to think that his real name was dalton thomas williams and we feel that there are heirs either
in britain or the us somewhere in the world today if an air turned up and we have
every reason to think that their heirs are going to turn up the estate could be worth in the
vicinity of three million dollars depending upon the interest that's been paid over the years
update within days of our broadcast davey willens a new york businessman called our 800 number claiming he might
be one of the heirs to dan willen's fortune my grandfather we have determined came
from the uk to ontario in 1895 at that time he was 11 years of age we believe he traveled with another
family member and we also have been told that there was a cousin someplace up in
the outback of ontario but there was never any contact with that individual through the years so when this unsolved
mysteries program aired and this dan willens a bushman from ontario was was disclosed it certainly was an exciting
possible link for our family tree searching davey williams flew to toronto to meet
joe perkins one of dan willen's last surviving friends he brought along photographs of his grandfather harold
wilders and his great-grandfather john williams to see if there was a family resemblance
it's uncanny i couldn't believe it the similarity of the face the nose spacing of the eyes
forehead and i think if you took the beard off the old man they'd look like twins
indeed there does seem to be a strong resemblance our great-grandfather john grandfather harold and prospector dan
willens all-blood relatives is davey and heir to dan willen's fortune certainly money is important to
everybody and if the ontario government is holding considerable assets that could rightfully be claimed by a willens
then i'd like to see that happen i don't know if it'll be me and my cousins or not but maybe now we can get some
willances to come forward and maybe we do have a strong case to be made and certainly we are going to take the next
steps to pursue that possibility [Music] next the story of leo curry a volunteer
softball umpire active in his local church and a suspected murderer an arsonist who
has eluded the fbi for 10 years [Music] on march 19 1975 in richmond virginia a bodyguard named chuck kernighan was
murdered and his body placed in a trunk police were told the kernighan's corpse was driven to the rappahannock river
weighed down with a bumper from a 57 chevrolet and thrown overboard kernighan's body has never been found
the police believe that local businessman leo curry was responsible for this contract killing
in the mid 70s the same leo curry was a volunteer softball empire and active in his local church
leah was married with four children and a member of the american legion [Applause]
leo was a nice guy to many people there are people that are close to him that characterize him as a as a caring
uh sensitive individual however our investigation turned up another leo corey and that is the leader of a
racketeering enterprise who made a living committing crimes then on april 20th 1979 leo corey was
placed on the fbi's 10 most wanted list as an accused murderer he has eluded the
authorities for 10 years curry was a successful restaurant owner who was fiercely competitive
reportedly he tried to force his rivals out of business by sending in thugs to terrorize the patrons
on january 15th 1977 corey's friends brutally attacked innocent customers at the mailbox restaurant
one person died and several were injured it became apparent after a few months of
investigation that leo corey was the very center of a racketeering enterprise and that means
that he ran an organization that their primary income was through illegal purposes be it
frauds extortion murder uh whatever but their income was uh was from crime while the fbi suspected corey was
responsible they could not indict him because his inner circle was extremely loyal
they often picked vulnerable groups like the local gay community as victims for his scams and extortions i want you to
kill a man for me i'll do it in october 1977 curry asked eddie lore to make a hit on
restaurant owner jim hilliar [Applause] a few days later cooley scheme backfired
when eddie lore was found hiding outside jim hilliar's home [Music] [Applause] [Music]
this arrest was a turning point for the fbi and directly led to curry's indictment i've heard enough okay we
later learned that he was there allegedly at leo corey's behest to kill hillary to eliminate hilliar as competition in
the restaurant business what are your options laura agreed to work with the fbi he was equipped with a hidden microphone
and the fbi secretly recorded a conversation with curie for their investigation this is the actual recording of leo
curry's voice in the car i can't understand based on the surveillance tapes on october 31st 1978
leo curry was indicted by a federal grand jury he was charged with murder attempted
murder extortion assault racketeering fraud and arson but the day before the charges came down
leo curry disappeared from richmond virginia leo corey is a very competitive person
and it would not surprise me and it's been done in the past with top 10 fugitives where they pick up the phone
and call the agent who's who's looking for them simply to tweak their nose that would be an interesting
call i'd just like to know he's alive over the last 10 years the fbi have recorded 165 sightings of kuri mostly on
the east coast but also in brazil in the middle east the fbi are offering a 25 000 reward in
this case and have even put up billboards around the country with leo curry's face on them
his fbi file is now 38 volumes thick what we come up with is the most logical location
for leo corey and what he's doing is probably drugs and we believe he's still closely associated with the gay
community [Music] on november 19th 1988 a nine-year-old girl named michaela joy gary and her
best friend were given five dollars by the friend's father to spend at a local market in hayward california a suburb of
oakland the two girls rolled from michaela's house to the market on their scooters
mikaela came and asked if she could go and i said yes and she jumped up and down and said oh goody goody
they went to the market and that's the last time we've seen her although mikira's house was only four
blocks from the market her parents insisted she be accompanied by a friend she usually made us a trip to the store
at least once a day or every other day or so she'd get a friend and go up there on her scooters we never let her go to
the store by herself she always had to be with somebody [Music] when they came out of the store
michaela's scooter was gone [Music] it was over by a car and when she went over to get the scooter a man stepped
out of the car and grabbed her from behind and threw her into the [Music] michaela's friend
went back into the store advised the clerk in the store that her friend had been kidnapped
they called the police the biggest thing that makes this one a little different than most
is that we do have a suspect description we do have a suspect vehicle description
and we do have a witness that saw this take place look at the pictures and see if there's
michaela's friend was shown mug shots of possible suspects but was unable to identify any of them
she was however able to assist police artists in creating a composite of the suspect
she described a white male age eighteen to early twenties approximately six feet
in height with dirty blonde shoulder-length hair the man had a slender build and a
pockmarked complexion the car he was driving was a large american model a few years old in poor
condition it appeared to be brown or tan in color right now what we need to know if if
anybody was to call is we need a name a place where we could find michaela or the kidnapper
nobody has to leave a name all they have to do is just give us that tip that we need to act
life just is not the same and it won't be the same again until michaela comes home
[Music] our next story we will meet a retired couple jim and kay tatum who are sober
reliable people jim was a career army officer k an accountant but in their new home they've
experienced unexplained sounds and objects that move for no apparent reason experts call this poltergeist activity
some believe that such activity is not caused by ghosts but rather by psychokinesis a hidden psychic power in
the mind of an individual which unconsciously moves objects through space could it be that jim and k tatum caused
their own hauntings this is a quiet suburb near atlanta georgia where jim and kate tatum build a
new home there they plan to retire but five months after they moved in the tatums began to experience unusual
events that forced them to put their house up for sale for this reason they requested we not
show it but they did allow us to film inside one night in january of 1986 kate tatum woke from a restless sleep
not wanting to disturb her husband she left their bedroom [Music] she sensed a strange presence
jim i'm in here jim i'm in here kay had seen a glimpse of a man walking past the open doorway
jim at first i thought it was my husband and i went into the bedroom and there and my husband was in the bed so i
thought we had a burglar no jim searched the house it was definitely a man and he was
swinging his arm slightly and his head was slightly bent and he walked briskly past me there was nothing that you could
see through there's no evidence of any entry there's no evidence of anyone having been in the
house and i thought perhaps kay had been using an overactive imagination [Music]
as the night passed into dawn k tatum lay awake and wondered i had fear and i was perplexed about
what happened while i was tossing and turning i suddenly remembered that i didn't hear
any sound as he passed me and i still am unable to figure out why it happened after kay's first experience two months
pass by without incident then one night jim was repairing a ladder that led up to their attic his
work was interrupted when kate called him for dinner i specifically unplugged the drill
because it's a very old drill i thought it might be dangerous to leave it plugged
as the evening wore on he wanted to watch a movie and i decided to go upstairs and read
one hour later kay heard the sound of the drill outside her room she thought the gym was teasing her
about having seen a ghost and she tried to ignore the noise eventually she went into the hallway
it was empty and the drill was unplugged i was really frightened and i reached out and felt out and it
was ice cold it had not been turned on i was very confused i knew very well that something was happening
because kay is very level-headed and she was truly frightened these incidents continued
one night kay heard the sound of coins falling in a bowl but she was alone in the room
another time while cooking kay felt two sharp tugs on her blouse after that incident i decided we have a
problem in this house there's something going on it's it's not something that we can
understand or explain but there's something definitely going on this is where most of
the things have been happening these occurrences seem to center around k parapsychologist william roll visited
the house to try to interpret these events you know the question comes up why is this family having these
experiences is there a sort of ghost that has come back to haunt them for some unknown reason or what's taking place
a lot of people have these experiences it's part of who we are as humans to have uh so-called psychic experiences
but the pot was up here on the wall i see okay rohl believes that memories can actually be transferred to physical
objects and these residual memories may be triggered by ordinary people the nature of his presence seems to be
a teasing type of thing as though it's teasing us in february jim finally had his first
experience it started with this small bell located in the guest room jim had a habit of waking hours before
his wife when k woke she would ring the bell if she needed him upstairs i'd grown used to climbing the stairs
after hearing the bell and so i did so and it wasn't kay she was asleep so i went in and looked at the bell and
it was there and i thought obviously i heard something else other than the bell after the third time this happened the
couple decided to make up a code in order to outwit the entity if it ranks three times
i'll come on up the stairs all right we'll do that so the next time it rang three times i
knew this was k because this was our signal but k was sound asleep and the bell was in the other bedroom
where it stays i went in and looked at it i turned around and walked out the door
and the thing rang again then i began to see how kate felt i mean i was frightened the hair stood up on my neck
i told kay then i says no more bail i'm not going to answer that bill anymore and that bell has not rung since
i've never seen him like that before the number of uh horny cases that are not very striking not very strong
but where the phenomena nevertheless are disturbing to the family it might be a bell ringing a fleeting glimpse of an
aberration the events are trivial but they're deeply upsetting to the family because they don't fit into the picture
that most of us have of the world and that image of the physical world particularly our of
our home is intricately related to who we picture ourselves as being the story about the bell gets me
emotional because uh this was a real turning point in my life i i knew then that there are things that
are unexplained the tatums feel that their home is no longer their own they have decided to move leaving the
entity if that indeed is what it is to live in the house alone [Music] for every mystery there is someone
somewhere who knows the truth perhaps that someone is watching perhaps it's you [Music]
[Applause] [Music] [Music] you
