stranger our next story focuses on a young woman whose peaceful life was shattered
forever when she was caught in a horrifying game of cat and mouse with an unknown assailant on a lonely road still
haunted by what happened she's asked to remain anonymous we'll call her Carol [Music]
Monday August 22nd 1988 Carroll drove to work along Bremen Hollow Road a quiet two-lane highway that passes
through the rolling countryside of Eastern Connecticut Carroll was employed as a social worker at a hospital in
nearby puttan where she counseled depressed mentally ill patients she had been using Bremen Hollow Road as a
shortcut for more than a year this morning Carol found herself running 30 minutes late the road I took that
morning was my normal Road in the way that I always go to work sometimes I think I was at the wrong place at the
wrong time you know why me I didn't do anything wrong as I was driving I all of a sudden
became a black truck that was in front of me it was driving very slow so I slowed up right behind it as Carole
followed the pickup it began to behave in a bizarre fashion speeding up and slowing down erratically crossing the
center line as if out of control Carroll began a census something was clearly wrong
shortly after that he stopped the truck in front I can see it all happening in slow motion he just slid out of his
truck and I realized he had a gun in his hand I can remember seconds after it happened
that I was gonna die I just felt or heard a rushing in my ears and then I heard the radio on and I
knew that I wasn't gonna die so my next thought was I'm paralyzed but I moved my feet and kicked off my shoes
it was like it wasn't a dream that it wasn't really happening the way it was Carol was semi-conscious she could hear
the few cars that passed by but was unable to signal for help because she was slumped across the front
seat she was out of the view of the other drivers a few minutes elapsed before a utility servicemen built by
from his elevated cab he was able to see into Carol's car the man immediately summoned medical
assistants detectives also arrived within minutes Carroll was near death she had already
lost two pints of blood from the beginning police viewed this case as an impending homicide they knew
they were racing against time to get crucial information can you hear me I'm detective Turner I'm with the State
Police we want to find out what happened to you today what I'd like you to do is
I want you to blink your eyes once for yes and twice for no do you know the person who shot you
was this person driving in a vehicle [Music] it was the person driving in a car [Music]
was it a truck [Music] slowly but carefully police are able to piece together in an accurate
description a suspect and his vehicle Carroll was barely clinging to life and she reached the emergency one but bullet
tore through her face about two inches below her left eye her carotid artery had been severed paralyzing her left
vocal cord police would later determine that the assailant was just ten feet away when he pulled the trigger
immediately following the shooting we had troopers and detectives on Bremen Hollow Road in all the main
intersections looking for both the suspect vehicle and also a vehicle similar in style to the one driven by
the victim two drivers told police that in the hour prior to the shooting a black pickup
truck had pulled on and off the highway repeatedly taunting other motorists it's entirely possible that all of the
incidents are related it was the same black pickup truck involved in all these incidents
with the traffic a careful check was run on Carol's background including her current and
former patients doing the background investigation on our victim she had no enemies that she was aware of we weren't
able to find anything either it appears that it's a totally random shooting and the victim just happened to be the next
motorist to encounter this this fell on Raymond Hollow Road the investigation then focused on finding the black pickup
truck police learned there were more than 300-thousand trucks in connecticut that fit the description of the
suspect's vehicle investigators checked auto body shops garages and gas stations
throughout the state they found nothing the vehicle is described as a well-maintained black stepside pickup
truck it had flared fenders standard with Blackwall tires and shiny plain wheel covers it's the general feeling of
investigators that the suspect is still out in the area still going to work still go into the same gas station he's
just your average citizen who for whatever reason on this particular Monday morning either under the
influence or angry we just don't know what provoked him to do this three months later Carol's condition that
improved dramatically but she was left with a grim physical reminder of the incident
the bullet that pierced carol's cheek is still lodged in the back of her neck close to her spine
at first I thought about the bullet being in me every day I have wanting it out and not being in
me I'm afraid that if I do go through an operation that something may go wrong and it could be worse so I will just
leave the bullet in me until there's complications or pain we have a motiveless crime at this point we're not
able to determine any particular reason why this gentleman would get out of his truck and without any provocation shoot
the only other person face into it so very quickly and leave the girl for dead we don't have any idea why someone would
do that I think of it everyday especially when I look in the mirror and I see the scars
and think about the incident that I'm afraid and I'm also angry that this happened to me and that he's still out
there and maybe leading his normal life without any cares to what happened to my
life the suspect is a white male between 26 and 32 years of age he is approximately
5 feet 10 inches tall of medium build with brown curly hair covering his ears next the story of Carol Saltzman an
investigator who has reunited dozens of families with their lost loved ones but carol has been searching for her own
father for over 40 years [Music] between May and September of 1945 a jubilant spirit reigned in the United
States American GI is justifiably hailed as conquering heroes and finally begun coming home from World War two by the
thousands they around rushed for the optimism of victory the Welcome of ticker tape parades and open
avenues [Applause] one of the returning soldiers is lieutenant ray Hickey bottom a decorated
war hero he was assigned to Army Intelligence and settle down with his wife Dorothy and three-year-old daughter
Carolyn at the Vint Hill Farm Army stationed outside Arlington Virginia my memory was one of a kind of magical
summer it was the first time I had a dad at home and my mom there there was just
a lot of fun a lot of time for the family to be together in no time the jubilant would a victory
faded and an era of fear and suspicion began Stalin and communist Russia our valiant Allies in 1945 were our deadly
enemies by 1947 [Music] a senior Vint Hill Farm station served as headquarters for Ray hicking bottoms
army intelligence unit the station house a top-secret radio operation it is believed that Ray was part of a select
group of expert code breakers who monitored radio communications from behind the newly created Iron Curtain
Cold War had begun that's a good ol sir Joe you're sitting at a desk you're not mobile you can't get up I've seen them
scream sometimes and in just the physical frustration yeah you know this and it's just you know trying to
ventilate the frustration while they continue plotting away with this boring but potentially incredibly fascinating
job this just came in over the channel in less than a year the Central Intelligence Agency would be created and
the group Advent Hill farm would be absorbed into the CIA sweetie daddy's at work tonight you know he can't always be
here but that doesn't mean he doesn't love you ray found himself working long hard hours the work at Vint Hill farm
took more and more time away from his family be back to pick me up at 3:00 in late
summer of 1947 ray was transferred to another top-secret group at the arlington hall intelligence station he
did not tell Dorothy about the new assignment Cisse watch what I can do right yes very good
right can you give some attention to your daughter my mother was worried because he seemed so tired I'm so
uptight he became very tense and it became worse it just got worse and worse ray Dorothy
I don't want to drag you and Carol into my problems at work ray that's what we're here for we're a family ray I just
want to talk to you three weeks later Dorothy took Carol to Long Island for a two-week visit with her grandparents
when Dorothy tried to phone Ray at their event Hill Farm apartment she was given
the surprising news that he had gone on leave what that her former neighbor at the army
station discovered that a moving crew had suddenly appeared at Dorothy and Ray's apartment what's going on here
it's official army business ma'am that's all I can tell you okay go ahead and get
this chair and take it out to the truck my mother received a phone call from the
downstairs neighbor another officer's wife if she said to my mother there are movers upstairs packers from
the government packing up your things and taking them out of your apartment what is happening and my mother was just
frantic because she didn't know what to make of this indeed military authorities had emptied
ray and Dorothy's apartment without a word of explanation [Music] two weeks later moving van showed up at
Dorothy's parents house on Long Island in the boxes and trucks there was not one single item belonging to ray no
pictures no letters no writing enough It was as though he had been purged from our lives as though he was completely
gone and wiped out and my mother just didn't know what to make of it a month then a man claiming to be from
the Army visited Dorothy on Long Island he brought shocking news about ray well this is all I know
on October 14 1947 he was listed as AWOL 30 days later he was dropped from the military roles and classified as a
deserter captain did you know my husband well if you did I think you would agree
he could never be classified as a deserter I want to know what's really going on here I'd like to be able to
tell you but I'm not at liberty to discuss the matter any further thanks for the coffee
look I don't want to have to be the one to tell you this because Ray's been classified as a deserter you and Carol
have lost all your military benefits look I have my px card could I take you over to the post get some groceries
something thank you but that won't be necessary goodbye Dorothy later tried to get in touch with
a mysterious visitor the army said they had never heard of it my mother was alone she was frightened
and she was afraid something terrible had happened to my father perhaps he found overseas and been
killed in the line of duty she could not comprehend that he would just disappear
she really thought the government was withholding information from her it is absolutely not
total paranoia to wonder if the CIA or another intelligence branch had something to do with his disappearance
just sitting right here in my own experience which didn't include that wild era of intelligence I can think of
a half-dozen cases where people you know there were that weird things like that happened where the family was not told
the truth and the loved one did disappear or or died and they weren't told how they died Ray Higginbotham was
considered a deserter and was in disgrace Carol and her mother struggled to make
ends meet Carol grew up married and moved to Oklahoma where she lives today ironically Carol's search for her father
developed into a career she is a private investigator specializing in reuniting lost families Carol has hundreds of
grateful clients most the people I deal with our children looking for parents have been either separated by divorce or
who were never married to the other parent in the picture and they want to create a family relationship but I have
found brothers and sisters I have found grandparents I have found boyfriends and
girlfriends even an old teacher the most satisfying thing for me is when someone
tells me I feel good for the first time in many years this pain that I felt from
separation is relieved and I feel like I've accomplished something and I've overcome situations that have built up
over the years but I also feel a sense of sadness because I can't do it for myself
Carol has never given up on her own search she requested a copy of her father's military records under the 1971
Freedom of Information Act in the summer of 1979 the documents finally arrived as
I look through the material that I received I began to get a picture of someone very special someone very highly
trained someone who had performed to the at the top level and I came to believe that this was a man who would not just
disappear one of the documents revealed that there had been no investigation requested by
the army into my father's disappearance that the FBI had never been brought into
the act at all and that appeared to be very strange to us that a highly trained highly cleared officer could disappear
for off the face of the earth and no one went looking for him after 25 years of butting heads with a government
bureaucracy Carroll finally went to the media a newspaper article about Carol and her missing father appeared in the
local Arlington newspaper three hours later she received an intriguing telephone call but Carter identified
himself by a coated Archangel he was using a car phone but would not reveal his exact location he said that my
article had really rattled cages at the CIA and then it really shook people up those were his words
[Music] in August of 47 an attempt was made in his life his superior decided to bury
who is he's you to drop out 20 years ago thanks were different the man calling himself archangel told Carol and her
father was not a deserter because Ray's life had been in danger a paper trail has been created to cover his
disappearance time he was a few miles from arlington archangel revealed the astounding news that for nearly a year
ray Hickenbottom had lived only three miles away from Carol and her mother hidden by the government in the suburbs
of Washington DC where is he now your father is still alive his name is Nelson he lives in a NATO country where there
are high mountains that's all I can say look I have to get off goodbye when I hung up the phone I felt very
drained maybe he was a jokester or con artist maybe he was gonna call back and want money I just didn't know what to
believe but there was a part of me that kept saying my dad's alive there's a chance Carole never heard from a
mysterious caller again but she and her son Ian have never stopped trying to decipher archangels clue it's crystal
clear Lake's it is possible that my father chose to follow his prayer and that that was what
he wanted above all else including myself and our family and that's very painful I have compassion for a young
man who may have made a wrong choice we all make wrong choices and I want my father to know that we love him and that
it's it's forgotten we just want the pain of not having him to end tonight an unusual update concerning a case
featured last season on unsolved mysteries gary golf who's been charged with first degree murder in the brutal
shooting death of an arkansas man was to make a personal plea to his former lover
and ledged accomplice to turn herself in on the night of October 19th 1986 39 year-old Charlie Sigmund showed up at
the home of his estranged wife an r/a boyfriend Gary Goff according to an Charlie arrived in a drunken rage and
forced his way into the house once inside and claims that shadi began to beat her severely then Gary Goff came
to a rescue despite a broken arm Gary fought with Charlie then shot him seven times
Charlie died before police arrived during interrogation by the police and and Gary claimed that the shooting was
in self-defense no charges were filed and they were released suspicious of an and Gary story authorities continue to
investigate the shooting they wired one of Anne's friends for sound I will wait until tomorrow and then she in talking
with misstatement and told her she was fixing to go to the police miss Sigmund ultimately told her not to
go to the police or ask her not to go to the police and give her time to her in the mr. Goff time to leave town
she incriminate herself on the tape authorities issued a ward for Anne and Gary's arrest but before they could
serve it a couple disappeared on May 22nd 1989 Harry Gough voluntarily surrendered pema Scott County Sherriff's
on the charge of first-degree murder Goff is currently being held at the Pema Scott County Jail where tonight he wants
to make a personal appeal to an Sigmund I would like for Han to turn herself in and try to get this straight now and all
I ask to do is come back and tell the truth that's what's got to come out the truth whatever it is and I need some
help because I don't know everything it went on that night and the only way I'll
ever know was financed [Music] [Music] Nashville Tennessee country is a capital of the world
each year millions of fans flocked to the city to see and hear their favorite performers the music business also
attracts a host of aspiring stars looking for a foothold in the music Nashville is like dreamland you know
people have these big fantasies and everyday people come here just to make their fantasy or their dream come true
and a lot of those people sacrifice you know their whole life savings they'll spend their entire life savings
everything they've got on that dream like thousands before him 23-year old Kevin Hughes came to Nashville with
dreams of making it big in the business side of the music industry but just after Kevin began to establish himself
in the Nashville music scene his leaves came to a violent end I'll talk to you next week in 1986 Kevin
left college to become the director of cashbox Magazine's top 100 Country and Western chart for Kevin it was a chance
of a lifetime a couple hours late great school he started listening to music and started
buying the magazines we'd have to go and pick up billboards about 40 miles away because we couldn't get them where we
lived and he always read the billboards and even we make up his own charts and that type of thing as chart director
Kevin received playlist reports each week from radio stations across the country
based on these reports he would rank records from 1 to 100 according to their popularity a high position and one of
these charts can be very influential to the career of a new artist it was a lot of work it's a lot of work and in my
tenure as a promoter I've been through probably 12 15 maybe even more chart directors and he was probably overall
not only the best but the most fair yeah I'll just leave the front door unlocked
he was real rare for any and just any type of business not just music business he was just very kind and very religious
and just a Christian on the way around he's very honest and trustworthy and loyal and and he loved his job and so he
put in you know dozens of hours after hours you know after five o'clock he was here
you know several nights a week working on the chart till 9 or 10 o'clock at night
[Music] on the night of Thursday March 9th after nearly a year on the job Kevin was once
again working late making the final adjustments for that week's chart [Music] come on a man's unlocked that evening
Kevin's friend Sammy Sadler an aspiring singer-songwriter dropped by to say hello okay yeah right
working hard yeah in a long day how much longer you think you'll be working I can
go I can finish this up tomorrow it can suggest the two young men left the office at approximately 8:30 p.m. to
go to a nearby restaurant for dinner [Music] after dinner Kevin insanity late none
plans stopped at Evergreen records the company or semi would said you could use the phone you know we would have started
having a good time I mean you know we didn't know that we were going to eat I didn't know I was going to eat when I
got down there we didn't know we was gonna stop by evergreen it just popped in our head you know he popped in his
head let's go eat and I just wanted to use the phone to call my parents we come into Evergreen and we didn't hear about
I would say approximately 10 minutes mom hey he doing I was using a phone and while I was on the phone I heard
something around the door what was that I don't know check it out [Music] so Kevin got up and walked out into the
front I don't know where he looked out the front door the other side window [Applause]
[Music] and when he come back in I just said what was and he said well it looked like
a black guy but I'm not for certain he said I really couldn't tell and that's when I said well I told my mother I said
we'll call you later I said we're gonna go on home you know maybe if I'd have been alone down here maybe something
when it's you know sparked in my head that something was wrong or you know that something wasn't right but I had
you know I was with somebody and I mean never in a million years do you think you're gonna get shot how's it good
man a guy he would he went away he's gone you know you kind of used to get up feeling inside you if somebody's behind
you're walking up to you or something and I never got that fader we are yeah we're out but eight strange and even
when we was walking across the street I turned around and looked behind us and I
didn't see anything so I walked in front of Kevin's car and open the door and sit
down as soon as I sit down and started reached for the door that was a guy on the sidewalk and that's when he shot
[Music] Sammy Sadler survived the brutal attack despite a bullet December 2 major artery
in his arm Kevin Hughes was shot three times two of the bullets entered the back of his head
he was dead when police arrived at the scene we have no motive we have no suspect we have no no solid
witnesses even though we have five people that witness this we have none that can tell us what the suspect looked
like the next day rumors began to circulate through Nashville that Kevin's murder was a professional hit some
people in the music industry and media speculated that Kevin had either been mixed up in or had refused to
participate in a chart manipulation scheme on a surface it looks like a pretty good theory that Kevin was in a
position to make a number 100 song so he couldn't make it number five well the the charts could be padded and in Kevin
if he was taking money from somebody from a promoter or whoever from the singer he could in theory push it this
person is recognized but we found no evidence of that Kevin was not involved in that he was not the type of person to
be involved in that if he was involved in something and he didn't want to participate a phone call could be made
and he could be fired or he could be terminated for but why kill him his job wasn't that important to be killed for
that's what we've determined if it's a professional hit why do it with a witness there was Sammy Sadler there if
Sammy wasn't the target why even include Sammy why not wait until Kevin was alone
a second theory is that Sammy and Kevin were the tragic victims of a robbery gone wrong
happen to be a robbery when nothing has ever spoken and the shooter chased Kevin
down and killed and made it a point to make sure he was dead even after he'd shot Kevin twice in the head he never
once made any attempt to take any money from Kevin he ran away as soon as he fired the shots you're up three but
you're gonna lose a bullet this week another Theory connected to Kevin's work is that he may have been the target of
an angry manager or performer with a misguided grudge I just do what radio tells me to do I got no control over it
that's might be a person didn't understand that maybe blame Kevin for the failure because he wrote a song and
it didn't become successful and he needed somebody to blame I could say that could be a theory but
that's the only way that I would ever believe that it was music related if you want to call that music related I don't
for Sammy Sadler the nightmare that began on that cold spring night continues [Music]
he has undergone surgery on his right arm and may need more to repair nerve damage caused by the assailants bullet
[Music] although he continues to pursue a singing career he has been unable to play the guitar since being a shot you
know I would like to know why because I don't know why I don't know who or why I
mean I can sit here and talk about it now you know then you know I couldn't but it still hurts you know you can't
bring you back I just hope you know I hope that this helps solve the case because nobody knows nobody understands
one one possible clue to the gunman's identity is a baseball camp found near Kevin Hughes body the night of his
murder it bears the inscription World War two veteran and damn proud of it as well as a drawing of a Combat
Infantryman police theorize that it may have fallen from the killer's coat as he
leaned over Kevin and fired the fatal shots they have been unable to locate the owner or manufacture
next a story of a woman who has been partially deaf since birth and was to reunite with her father she
has not seen for 17 years [Music] unsolved mysteries is broadcast in a closed caption version so that the
hearing-impaired may also participate recently we received this letter from a woman named patty English partially deaf
