disappearance a young girl and a five month-old infant are abducted now two grief-stricken mothers need your help
and finding their missing children like the character Doctor Dolittle and Sonya Fitzpatrick says she can talk to the
animals case after case she astounds of skeptics is it a miraculous gift or merely clever
showmanship after an explosion and fire destroyed an arizona home firefighters discovered the murdered bodies of a
woman and her two children in the smoldering ruins but the man of the house was nowhere to be found
could this seemingly devoted husband and father have been involved in killing his
own family join me someone somewhere has a one vital clue that can help solve a mystery perhaps
it's you [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] Philadelphia Pennsylvania Jeff and Judy
Smith are on vacation mixing business with pleasure Jim has spent the day at a conference Judy has been sightseeing
they have agreed to meet at their hotel at 5:00 p.m. Judy so I got back to the hotel room about
5:30 and she wasn't there and by about 6:30 I was starting to get worried she was somebody who believed in
being absolutely on time in fact if you were on time you were already late by her standards
Jeff contacts hospitals and the police but he turns up nothing he then searches Philadelphia by taxi
driver I want to follow the route for the flash bus he traces a path of the tour bus Judy had planned to ride that
day I was fearful that something had happened to her but I actually believed that I would be able to find her it was
mind-boggling I just couldn't figure out what could have happened to her months went by but
no trace of Judy Smith was found the Philadelphia Police were just as perplexed as her husband they could find
no evidence she had been murdered or abducted Judy's family believed she had an accident and developed amnesia but
some of her closest friends were convinced she engineered her own disappearance [Music]
it didn't make sense to me so I thought that my mom didn't know who she was and was lost in the city and you know that
was horrible to think Judy Smith shared a special closeness with Amy but two divorces had created a void in her life
she and Jeff were married only five months before she disappeared independent and strong-willed she was
adept at looking out for herself it possessed a generous spirit Judy was caring loving responsible and someone I
loved deeply she had a way and she did this for me she just took people into our lives and somehow made them better
just by being who she was because she was a very caring person the mystery began at Boston's Logan Airport here a
curious chain of events began to unfold Judy failed to bring her driver's license airline regulations prohibited
her from boarding her flight without a photo ID and she told me to go ahead and that she would take a later plane and
come down and meet me with some reluctance I agreed to do that in Philadelphia that day
Jeff attended his business conference at 10:00 p.m. Judy arrived at their hotel I brought
you some flowers it's an apology for what happened in the airport I'd have to apologize missed you so much
how is your father some time after nine o'clock the next morning Judy set out for her day of sightseeing as always she
carried her belongings in her trademark red backpack she had told Jeff she planned to visit Independence Hall and
see the Liberty Bell whatever caused Judy to vanish occurred during the next eight hours
after the Philadelphia police turned up no trace of Judy Jeff had no choice but to return to Boston from his office he
faxed and mailed nine thousand flyers about Judy from Maine to Florida he also hired three private investigators but
they uncovered no significant clues five months after Judy vanished the father-son were hiking near
Asheville North Carolina they found a partially buried skeleton which animals have strewn over a hundred
yard area our victim was a white female probably in her late 40s to mid 50s and the pathologist report indicates that
there's puncher rooms and cuts on the bra which could be consistent with stab wounds
Jeff's Flyers had been circulated throughout the area so a request was made for Judy's dental records
forensics experts confirmed that the homicide victim was Judy Smith I was shocked I guess you always
anticipate that your parent will die but I'm not early we always talked about night would have kids and I'm looking
forward to that day um I guess I just never thought that she wouldn't be there for that the information came that the
dental records matched and my first reaction was I didn't believe it how did Judy Smith end up 700 miles from where
she vanished four eyewitnesses in Asheville claimed to have encountered Judy just days after she had
mysteriously vanished from Philadelphia [Applause] one of them was retail at Joanns Tucker
she seemed very alert to me she was very pleasant I didn't see anything about her
that would indicate that she wasn't right in any way she told me her husband was an attorney and that they were from
Boston and that they had been in Pennsylvania and he was at a convention and she decided to come down here if
Judy left Philadelphia of her own free will a question loomed why at the time this happened Jeff and Judy's marriage
was very tenuous I believe that something did happen in Boston that triggered her to want to have some time
away from Jeff I don't believe that she would have shown up at the airport without her driver's license if she
hadn't decided that that was a way for her to kind of gracefully let Jeff head towards Philadelphia and give her some
time and I think then she maybe did show up at the hotel brought him flowers to placate him and then made her move I'm
not gonna try to suggest that she and I never had a disagreement but I believe she was happy with her life at this
point she loved Jeff and you know you don't do that to someone that you love and if she
did leave the only thing I could think is maybe she something happened to her before she had time to call what
scenario resulted in Judy's murder in an isolated area of North Carolina who stabbed her and left her in a shallow
grave was it a stranger or someone she may have schemed to meet in Asheville if you're looking for the mystery man there
was a one is it this way Judy was the type of person that could have easily bumped into another person and spent
some time with him everybody was a good person - Judy and I think that was what made her vulnerable - whatever happened
to her it doesn't make sense that my mom would leave Philadelphia it doesn't make sense
that she would be found in Asheville it doesn't make sense that someone would hurt her investigators trying to
understand what happened found two clues to who may have murdered her we found a
blue and black backpack at the crime scene I believe that the backpack that was left as I'm alone a Jewish myth I
believe that it potentially belongs to our suspect there was a pair of sunglasses there these particular
glasses were manufactured by Bolle they retail for somewhere around one hundred and ten dollars and speaking with Judy's
friends Jews wouldn't have spent a hundred ten dollars for a pair of glasses well we believe that these
glasses did not belong to Judith and that they potentially belonged to our suspect North Carolina investigators
still have no clue why Judy Smith was killed no tennis Sam Casas does say however that they have ruled out robbery
as a motive found at the crime scene was Judy's diamond wedding ring and 167 dollars in cash
[Music] [Music] on the night of July night Colleen Nick took her six-year-old daughter Morgan to a Little League
baseball game in alma Arkansas it was an evening of shared joy between mother and
child with no hint of a nightmare about to unfold we'd made the choice to go just Morgan and I just to have girls
night out and it was such a warm close fun night throughout the evening two local girls asked Morgan to come play
with them finally against my better judgment I told her that she could go and play and she threw her arms around
my neck and gave me a big hug [Music] we could see them very clearly in the last time that I turned to look
Morgan was running back and forth plan [Music] but when the baseball game ended the two
girls returned to the field without Morgan file car getting the sand out of her shoe which car I don't know yours I
guess she was supposed to be dumping sand out of her shoes by my car but I could see my car from where I was
standing and she wasn't there I went over to the car looked around the outside of the car open the doors looked
inside the car thinking she had gotten in even at one point looked under the car just thinking she has to be here
somewhere and was in a couple of minutes all the people most of the cars were gone and it
was very clear that Morgan wasn't there as a parking lot empty panic began to overwhelm Colleen one of the baseball
coaches arrived and questioned the two girls when you were in the field were you there alone they remembered seeing a
man whom they described as creepy talking to Morgan in the field one of the coaches had a cellphone and made the
initial 911 call to law enforcement they arrived within six minutes and began an
immediate and massive search for Morgan at night but the initial search failed to find Morgan Nick the media was
alerted and flyers were posted week stretched into months and finally years with no sign of the blond-haired little
girl it's the worst terror that any parent can ever feel there's such a sense of it not being real somehow it
does not seem possible that your child could be missing that someone could have taken your child for five long years
Colleen Nick a search for her daughter Morgan faced with the same circumstances many of us would have given up hope not
Colleen in fact Colleen's personal tragedy has led to a remarkable transformation the once shy mother has
become a leading activist for missing children all across the country in the months following Morgan's disappearance
Colleen successfully lobbied the media to turn Morgan's disappearance into a national news story it was then that
Colleen discovered she was not alone in her grief we begin to get calls from other parents who had heard about Morgan
whose child was now missing wanting to know what they could do you know where did they turn what resources
were available and from that we began to get involved in the bigger picture of children being missing
one year after her daughter's abduction Colleen established the Morgan NIC Foundation a nonprofit organization
dedicated to assisting families with missing children the foundation has been instrumental in bringing several
children safely home recently county nick has become involved in the search for a missing five month old girl in
Arizona Jacqueline Castaneda disappeared on May 6th her mother 19 year-old Olivia Castaneda
hopes a Colleen and the Morgan Nick Foundation can help find her baby daughter Olivia was last with her
daughter at a swap meet outside of Phoenix Arizona my husband dropped me off there with my
two babies and I yelling my two-year-old and Jacqueline my for mental baby I took Jacqueline out of the car with
her car seat and nearly I took her walking before meeting her mother inside Olivia needed to use the restroom she
finally found a portable bathroom faced with his cramped and dirty quarters Olivia made a split-second decision that
would lead to tragedy maybe Jackie couldn't fit inside so I just took my Tirol mile inside the restroom
cause she could've walked away if I left her outside I was in the restroom back for a minute when I came yeah Jacqueline
wasn't hoping that her mother had taken the child Olivia rushed into the swap meet and
they thought that my heart was beeping like really fast I was really scared mom do you have Jacqueline do you have
the baby oh my god I lost the baby we gotta go bye but I felt more upset and more nervous when I saw my mom that she
was by herself she had the baby and that's when my father died I just didn't know what to do
Olivia and her mother went from booth to booth asking anybody if they had seen Jacqueline after 20 horrifying minutes
the police were called Avondale Arizona police officers immediately sealed off the swap meet and
began an extensive search there is an officer stationed at all the exits and along a fence line and as cars were
leaving we would check the vehicles as they left as people were leaving the side exits through the gates we would go
ahead and check them make sure they weren't carrying anything or had a car carrier Jacqueline was not found one of
the swap meet vendors however did notice a woman who she felt was acting suspiciously I had my baby in the car
seat and she started touching her so I went over to talk to her what she related to us was that there was a
suspicious woman that actually walked up to her infant and caressed her infant's
face and said what a beautiful baby this made her feel uneasy and this caused her
pay attention to this particular woman but authorities were unable to find anyone who matched the vendors
description Holly Nick was informed by a National Missing Children's agency that
a baby girl had been abducted in Arizona yeah Morgan Nick foundations sprang into
action were able to do posters were able to email Jaclyn's information out to people who might not otherwise get it
and then to also counsel her family over the phone if they would like to talk to
us on June 25th Colleen Nick traveled Avondale Arizona to meet Olivia Castaneda for the first time and
consoled her in person it could be the day that they call and say that they found her Olivia who blames herself for
her child's abduction was comforted to know that she is not alone in her suffering she had her daughter's stolen
too and she knows what you're failing in it's nicer to talk to someone that knows
what you're going through [Music] I find that it's the greatest need that a family has just to be able to look
someone in the eye and to know that there are other people who haven't given up hope to know that you're gonna
survive this that you're going to come through this and that hopefully your child is going to come home and I think
that is what I try to bring to families the most is that hope and that reassurance assisted by the Morgan Nick
foundation police continue to search for Jacqueline Castaneda she is now five months old and has a unique heart-shaped
birthmark on her upper right arm the selfless work Colleen nick performs on behalf of families with missing children
has not detracted from her primary goal to find her own daughter Morgan but someday I believe that I will look my
daughter in the eye and say I've fought for you every day as hard as I could and
that is why you're home today I believe and I hope every single day that I get out that today is the day that Martin
comes home and every night when I go to bed and she's not back yet I know that I'm one day closer to getting her back
[Music] racehorse trainer Mary Clark is worried her promising filly reckless has been
behaving erratically three different vets have been unable to determine why desperate she turns to Sonya Fitzpatrick
of Houston Texas like the classic character dr. Dolittle Sonya says she can communicate with animals I can tell
you this horse is in terrible pain all down the left side of the face and I don't know how she's Sonya immediately
showed concern for the mayor she said this horse is in tremendous pain and it's on the left side of her nostril or
somewhere on the left side pain was a plausible explanation for recklessness mysterious conduct over the past several
months unknown to Sonya reckless had been rearing back violently before all her races reckless and easy acting up in the
starting gate even worse if she sometimes flipped over backwards putting herself in her jockey impairment and now
she's telling me she's flipping to try and get away from the pain when I heard the words flip I was astonished because
I hadn't discussed the flipping and my heart was broken because that meant that this mayor had been flipping in these
races because of excruciating pain no it's not a tooth it's it's something I'm feeling that there's something stuck
in here I said to Mary you really need to have this left-side x-rayed because I feel there's something stuck in there at
Texas A&M University veterinarians take x-rays of reckless focusing on the area specified by Sonya
amazingly the x-rays confirmed there is a mysterious foreign object embedded inside wreckless his head next a
veterinary surgeon attempts to removed you're not gonna believe what we found he open his hand and he said this is
what we found in the mayor's charleen the object is a metal fragment that has broken off from the horses halter it was
a pretty horrifying thing to look at he said this would have been the most painful thing I can ever imagine
reckless recovers fully following the surgery she is now retired from racing completely free from pain Sonya truly
talks to these horses they are giving her conversation they are sharing with her their their feelings their wants and
their desires it's an amazing gift animals love to talk they love it when you answer them the first time they have
someone that answers them they are so pleased and it's like oh he really can talk our language
consarn fitzpatrick truly speak telepathically with animals very merely a talented showman 5000 animal lovers
who paid for her services are convinced her gifts are genuine skeptics say she's
doing nothing more than picking up on the body language of pets or inadvertent cues from their owners or put Sonia to
the test before our unsolved mysteries cameras and allow you to judge for yourself
Debbie Oliver is among those who did not believe in Sonja's professed power Debbie operates a dog kennel in Houston
Texas and is no stranger to animal behavior I thought you know she probably just kind of looks at their body
language and she can tell what they're thinking well I can do that then we thought this is the stupidest thing I
have ever heard of despite her disbelief Debbie was curious so she and her husband Duane scheduled a session with
Sonya to see for themselves one of the ways Sonya claims to communicate with animals is by inspecting a photograph
this method she says is just as accurate as interacting directly with the animal
I thought this was just basically a waste of money it's one of the reasons I went is I just didn't want my wife to
waste any more money on it I told Debbie to make sure that she didn't tip Sonja off and she didn't that's true when
Sonja talked about the ice cubes that got my attention right away we thought that's a really specific item
how in the world did she know that and he is sending me a picture of little balls blue balls other dogs playing with
all these blue balls the more the suction when I'm the more amazed I became on on what was happening there
who is this is a dog that here she's just coming in what's her name that's Miss Daisy Miss Daisy wants to know
where is that pink thing something with her ears that goes on ahead and something matching that goes here pink
and her oh my gosh I just went to a flea market a couple weeks ago and I got her
this little hat that I have to pull her ears through cuz she's got long floppy ears and a pink bandana that matches it
well she'd like to wear it more often monthlies and can you put that on her when she goes home
very polite your dogs there's just no way she could have known that unless she had a detective living with us or had
cameras here so that's kind of when we started thinking this is pretty amazing somehow she really is talking to these
animals Sonya says her rare ability developed in childhood it came about she claims because she suffered a
significant hearing loss that persists to this day having a hearing loss my sense is heightened and animal senses
are very heightened so I think that is why I was able to speak to animals because I drew on my other senses
if Sonja's gift is genuinely consience account for it Jessica Utz is a professor of statistics
at UC Davis for statistical evaluations a psychic phenomena indicate it may be valid one possible explanation for what
Sonya is doing is that we and animals as well have some sort of sense that we used to rely on before we had language
and that that sense is still quite vital in animals because they don't have language and that Sonya is somehow able
to pick up on that information animals speak in pictures so if I was to say to you
could you tell me where Buckingham Palace is or the Statue of Liberty you form a picture in your mind you've
visualized it and that picture is going out into your energy fields and the animals see those pictures and receive
them from wherever you are I think the more likely explanations here are that she's reading the body language of the
owners or the body language of the animals it is probably also the case that we occasionally hear a spectacular
story where she gets information that no one could possibly know but what we don't know is how many times there were
other stories that turned out not to be true Sonya we are Sonya to visit pets and owners she had never met before in
front of our unsolved mysteries cameras we selected them independently Sonya had no prior knowledge of their
background that's many many many she's approximately five years old okay now Minnie says she lives with other animals
as well so you better tell me what the other cat's name is the other cat's name is Murphy Murphy there was a time when
she felt sick I don't I don't recall her being sick she's feeling stick what is it you use in your house on the floors
we don't use anything on the floors other than vacuuming on the carpet and no what do you use that you wash your
floors with sorry ammonia bleach exactly it's the worst thing you can do for your
cat she discussed the fact that my cat seemed to have some illness related to the cleaning products that I used on my
kitchen floor and the fact of the matter is the cat is now an outdoor cat and has
been for some time now many things she's in charge and she's telling me she's in
charge so I overall I would say on a scale of one to ten she she got two right out of ten some animals are really
clear with their communication and very direct and then just as people others don't communicate so well so before they
can send you a reply back so that is the reason why times I don't always get something and I
do occasionally get an almost like that hello beautiful hi what's your horse's name Charlie Charlie Charlie Charlie is
an 11 year old racehorse Sonya has not been told that he almost died recently after suffering continual abuse from a
previous owner he's very emotional he um he's had a lot of pain in his life and I'm feeling that pain from him and he's
had a tremendous amount of Bute abuse I was surprised that she picked up on the fact that he had been abused so quickly
I really expected her to ask me questions that anybody could figure out okay well from that I would assume that
he had been abused but she basically started just talking to me his leg it also had a problem here
here sorry here it was real strange that she would be able to pinpoint an injury
from his hip because there's there's no scars I mean he was in such pain and agony at one time and something with the
foot that was really painful he has a crack in his in his hoof and she knew which hoof was cracked and that brings
back the memories every time the ears are touched the hardest part is when an animal has been abused and sometimes
even now I think oh god I don't want to hear this I don't want to hear what's been done I don't want to know but I
have to know to be able to help them I have to know what's going on he wants to know is he going to be staying with you
forever and ever oh absolutely I get tremendous inner satisfaction the fact that I've been able to be a voice
for the animals it feeds my soul that's the only way I can tell you it feeds my soul and my spirit and yes I love it I
love talking to the animals [Music] it's a big fire it's really big 8:42 a.m. Scottsdale Arizona
the quiet residential neighborhood was rocked by a powerful explosion the force of the blast ripped through the roof of
this ranch-style home causing it to burst into flames firefighters quickly contained the swift-moving blaze but not
before much of the residents had been destroyed the home was owned by Robert and Mary Fisher who lived there with her
two children 12-year old Brittany and 10 year-old Bobby jr. when efforts to locate the Fisher's proved unsuccessful
the fire department feared the worst that the entire family had perished in the blaze when rescuers were finally
able to get inside the house they found the remains of Mary Fisher and her two children in the smoldering ruins still
lying in their beds they appeared to have died in their sleep but the remains of Robert Fisher were not found in the
burned-out home and he continues to be missing within days and vestigators learned that it was not the fire that
killed Mary Fisher and her two children the three victims that had their throats
cut could Robert Fischer the seemingly dedicated family man also have been a ruthless killer if so he was hiding a
terrible secret his own sister found impossible to comprehend my brother loved his kids and his wife a
year ago there's no way I would have imagined any of this there was I trusted my brother with my life there's no way I
would have thought he would be capable of this [Music] the fishers were known as a devoted
church-going family Robert and Mary met in high school and had been married for 16 years
Brittany attended junior high Bobby was a fifth grader after a stint in the Navy
Robert Fischer served as a firefighter before a back injury cut short his career within a few years he became a
proud father of two children Robert was a very private person outwardly he's perceived as a good father good husband
church-going man during the investigation we found that Robert Fisher had a number of faces number of
masks that he wore what a man who wore masks try to disguise a state of his marriage investigators learned from
friends and co-workers that there may have been mounting turbulence in the Fisher home two years prior to the
murders Robert came to marry with troubling news remember the massage therapist I was
going to because my back honey I ended up having an affair with her Mary was shattered by his infidelity
Fisher headed to a forest north of Scottsdale recent solace at his favorite hunting grounds
when he returned a few days later he and Mary reconciled and even agreed to counseling at their church we need to
address the personal issues those are the things that usually are at the crux of any dispute disagreement Robert had
suffered deep emotional scars at the divorce of his own parents and he was adamant that his children not be
subjected to that same emotional pain Robert had told my dad many times that divorce was not an option he would not
be divorced like his parents were he did state that several times Robert did but
despite his determination marital troubles apparently resurfaced in the Fisher home just prior to the murders
Mary never told me that there were any problems but there was arguing a lot I think Robert was very controlling
telling her things that he didn't need to say in front of a lot of people we spoke with a very close friend of Mary's
and learned that she had confided in her that she was thinking about divorcing Robert neighbors told investigators that
late on the night of the murders the fishers had a loud disagreement I'm calling the lawyer tomorrow I don't
think that he planned this on this particular day this is what I'm going to do I think that it precipitated over a
long period of time and there was that one thing that triggered it and that could have been the the argument
could Robert Fisher have murdered his wife and children rather than put them through the heartache of divorce the
crime-scene investigation had uncovered intriguing clues a disconnected natural gas line an out-of-place candlestick
holder and the residue of some form of highly flammable liquid which led detectives to piece together a chilling
scenario of what they believe transpired on the night of the murders there was some type of a lacerated trauma to all
three victims necks which could not have occurred during the fire several hours before the explosion investigators
theorize that Robert Fisher slashed the throats of each of his children and then
his wife in addition to having her throat cut evidence also showed Mary Fisher was shot fire from a gas
explosion usually isn't as intense as the fire at the Fisher residence so there was some type of other flammable
material used investigators think Robert Fisher dumps the house with the ignitable fluid then the former
firefighter is believed to have disconnected the line leading to the gas furnace as a source of ignition we
believe that a candle with a candle holder was used as a timing device in order to allow Robert time to leave the
residence hours later once a sufficient amount of gas had built up this candle then triggered the explosion and ignited
the subsequent fire Robert committed the arson in order to cover up the murders believing that the
bodies would be burned beyond recognition and would have covered up any sign of what had happened but it
didn't cover it up quite as well as expected a full-scale manhunt turned up few leads
then ten days later Mary Fisher's SUV which disappeared the same night as the murders was spotted by a hiker more than
100 miles away in the town tow National Forest it had apparently been left there that
day before it was clean there was no dust on it it was underneath pine trees and there was very
little pine tree needles on top of the vehicle or in the vehicle which indicated to us that it had probably
been dumped there within 24 hours of discovery investigators descended on the remote area they learned from Fisher's
friends that he went there often on hunting trips the conditions were harsh and the landscape itself was riddled
with hundreds of caves days of extensive searching would prove fruitless two theories emerged one speculated that
a despondent Robert Fischer took refuge in one of the caves or he eventually committed suicide the other theory
suggested that a cunning Fischer left the SUV behind to divert the attention of investigators and then vanished where
would he be now how could he have gotten to where he would be he didn't take any
money with him and he would be in so much physical pain from his back I don't know if he did this I don't know how he
could be alive knowing how much my brother loved his family [Music] however detective John Kirkham does not
subscribe to the suicide theory and he feels that Robert Fischer is not dead the theory of Robert Fischer meaning
suicide in the woods after leaving the vehicle I believe is a remote possibility the vehicle itself was about
a quarter of a mile off of a improved Forest Service Road it's a fairly active area with a lot of traffic on that road
and there are various places that one could use a phone catch a ride that sort of thing he has now probably started a
new life under an assumed identity if Robert wanted to kill himself he would have done it when he killed Mary Britney
and Bobby is one of my belief so I do believe Robert is a lot of yes Robert Fischer has been indicted for the
murders of his wife and children Fischer is 41 years old stands 6 feet taller weighs 190 pounds he also has surgical
scars on his lower back and a gold crown on his upper left canine tooth Robert Fischer should be considered armed and
dangerous [Music] [Music] join me next time for another intriguing our buns solve mysteries
[Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
