the list [Music] March 1966 Miamisburg ohio i remember this is the hardest part the war in
vietnam is estimate navy medic mark dennis said goodbye to his family thank you - right mark had joined the Navy in 1964
at the age of 17 he chose to be a men because he believed it would be used his desire to one day become a missionary
[Music] mark Dennis was a deeply religious young man with a strong sense of compassion
according to his family he had volunteered for service in Vietnam so that a marriage soldier with a family
would not have to go once and get none mark was attached to the maligne 2nd battalion company Eve stationed in Dong
Ha next to the demilitarized in combat slang the sector was hot we all knew he was going into combat but it was really
not a name by his mind that it was as bad as it became a few months later so we all felt you know it was dangerous
but it was his place to go he had volunteered July 15th 1966 mark and 15 other men
were aboard a Chinook helicopter bringing assistance to a battalion hemmed in by the North Vietnamese Army
the helicopter right into heavy enemy gunfire this is an actual photograph of Mark's helicopter shortly after it was
hit a helicopter crashed and exploded in the midst of an infantry firefight according
to Navy records only three men survived a pilot copilot and the gun 13 men had perished in the crash when I came down
the street I saw the Navy vehicle first thing to hit my mind is his market kill I pulled up to the house and I heard my
sister yell Marcus day it was just a total shock then the wait for the casket it just stays and then
turned into weeks the whole thing was was really a trauma that that bridge difficult today to even talk about mark
Dennis was buried on August 9th 1966 due to the condition of the body the Navy suggested that the family not view the
remains they complied the first four years was rough and a Vietnam War went on and we just tried to shut it out of
our lives until 1970 on November 30th 1970 nose week magazine published this photograph of an unknown prisoner of war
when the Dennis family saw the photograph they thought it looked just like mark suddenly faced with a
possibility that mark might be alive the immediately contacted the Navy naval authorities requested additional
photographs of mark to see if they could make a positive identification six weeks
passed finally the Navy concluded the man in the photograph was not marked dentist but rather a previously
documented prisoner the Navy continued to maintain mark had been killed in action
unconvinced Jerry Dennis requested the Navy forward Marc's death certificate a death certificate got a disturbing
revelation it appeared that every man killed in the crash had been positively identified
except mark Dennis the Navy stated that they were definitely able to match 12 bodies found in the wreckage with 12 men
from Mark's unit the thirteenth body was burned beyond recognition they apparently assumed it was marked by a
process of elimination Jerry Dennis still believing the man pictured in Newsweek might be his brother now became
convinced that market survived several weeks after the photograph appeared Jerry received further evidence that his
brother might not have died in the crash in 1971 an article about Jerry Dennis's efforts
to find out what happened to his brother appeared in local newspaper the next day
Jerry was visited by a navy dental technician named Steve Wilcox Steve Wilcox had been mark's best friend and
bootcamp six months after mark was reported killed Steve met another man who had
served with mark in Vietnam everybody that came to the hospital had to come through my office they had to deliver
their dental records to me so I knew where everybody came from and I knew there there was just one medic who had
come from Nam I saw him later and we had a chance to talk we worked together a lot in the field as medics he's one of
the best medics in the group too I mentioned that I had a friend it was killed in Nam and mentioned there was
Mark Dennis and he was in Mark's unit hey were you there when that chopper went down no I wasn't actually there
look then he started to share some information with me that was coming off guard it really surprised me
I don't think mark died that day but they sent the body home I mean the family buried mark well I was in the
first recovery cool right first of all he said that mark was not supposed to have been on that hillock on mark and
secondly nobody really in the unit believed that mark was did there was no evidence at the crash site that he was
on the helicopter when it crashed [Music] the chaotic aftermath of the crash I'm
ready for call that run equipment belonging to Navy medics were found in the debris nor where mark Dennis's dog
most alarming he reported there were not 13 bodies recovered as claimed by the Navy
I was very frustrated and I could not remember his name there are a lot of things that that were unsettling with
him I was more concerned with mark naturally so that's what I remember the most but I do remember that he was he
indicated things were happening there that he he didn't understand and bothered him based on Steve Wilcox his
story the Dennis family chose to ignore the Navy's recommendation not to view the body they decided to have the
remains exhumed because the body had been burned beyond recognition military procedure called for the uniform to be
placed on top the remains were underneath wrapped in a plastic bag covered by a navy blanket
jerry found dog tags pinned to the blanket the tag seemed brand new and still had sharp edges I immediately
grabbed the dog tag to read it a neighbor and the dog tag something to my thumb actually drew blood and I
immediately realized these dog dates were never worn or they would have cut your chest to ribbons
Jerry also noticed curious burn marks on the tags they were not from here a copper crashed I was into the arson
field I knew what the temperature is reached and that helicopter is it burned and melted down these dog tags were not
many recovered Jerry Dennis once again contacted the Navy their initial response was that the tags must have
been thrown from the helicopter and burned at a lower temperature later they arrived at a different conclusion the ID
tags that are recovered from a crash site would have been brought to the mortuary with the remains but since it
was not mentioned on the death certificate that ID tags were part of the identification process I had to
assume that new ID tags were made at the army mortuary in Saigon that was standard policy at that time that is
normal it is not normal to make up a dog tag and burn it to make it simulate that
it was in a crash Jerry had lab technicians examine residue from the tags they concluded the
tags had been charred in a low-grade fire under a controlled flame a forensic anthropologist determined at
the height of the dead man's approximately five feet seven which corresponded with a Navy's estimate
however in 1963 mark Dennis was measured at five feet nine and a half further his
family claims that when he left for Vietnam three years later he had grown to six feet tall
Jerry also ordered tests on scrapings taken from the remains the tests revealed traces of lead another
inconsistency the body was not blown up in a Chinook helicopter because a Chinook helicopter uses jp4 jp-5 non
literacy this body had been burned with regular gasoline what he failed to consider as possible other contaminants
of lead in that incident were military radio batteries onboard the aircraft ammunition paint from the aircraft that
kind of thing the standard reference used by the FBI states that they're also my dude presence of lead and occurs
naturally in human bone we weren't talking about bone Morrow we're talking about the residues the smoke on the
surface of the burn areas the bone the flesh the skull itself so they were comparing eggs and oranges in November
1971 Gerry officially requested a change in marks status from killed in action to
missing an action the Navy refused I was given a choice either accepting that body you know or if we refused to accept
it the Navy was going to bury it in Arlington Cemetery with Marsh headstone oh and I decided to have no way in hell
they're gonna do that two months later the Dennis family reburied the body in Miamisburg
Jerry placed a ribbon upon the headstone it read the memory of one known only to
God [Music] March 1973 the war in Vietnam was over the first prisoners of war began coming
home the Dennis family prayed that mark would be among them he was not the arrival of the Vietnamese boat people in
the late 1970s brought renewed hope stories of American GIs still being held captive in Vietnam for most of us a
Vietnam War begun to fade by 1984 Jerry Dennis and the families of other men whose fate was still unknown the war
raged on Jerry decided to renew his efforts and petitioned his congressman to investigate the circumstances
surrounding Mark's death [Music] in 1981 pressure from Jerry's congressman forced the Navy into
interviewing captain Gary Lucas the helicopter gunner who survived the crash in a signed affidavit Lucas stated the
two men had jumped from the helicopter though he assumed they were killed the man who got out of this alive said men
jumped out of the aircraft in enemy territory prior to the crash at least two he saw jump did he see it and the
pilot said the smoke was so bad after the aircraft was hit he could not see to fly the helicopter or did he see two
people move towards the rear of the aircraft to try and get away from the fire the fact remains that the all the
remains of the holes that's perished on that aircraft were recovered when I first became involved in this it
was a personal issue it was a brother Mark Dennis the kid they got left behind by the US government and it was a very
personal thing everybody involved in this issue the family members start out that way but you don't remain that way
very long over the next four years Jerry Dennis became increasingly active in national powa and m.i.a organizations he
made numerous trips to Washington to plead his case then in December of 1986 Jerry got another piece of compelling
evidence and Marquette and not died on the crash this is a bracelet of Jerry's brother
who the POWs the gentleman to my left really became absorbed in listening and I knew he was interested excuse me yes
sir I didn't want to interrupt but I haven't overhear a part of your conversation my
name is John King John I'm Jerry this is Gerald I heard you talking about the POWs well I was in the Air Force I
happen to be a powa firm 66 to 69 I was moved around a lot four different camps and the last camp I was in it was a
gentleman by the name of Dennis I said well what was his first name I don't know we all went by nicknames I said
what was his nickname when he told me his nickname was preacher I get cold chills
mark was very close to the church he talked about becoming a missionary before he went into service while in
this service he had just written home in letters that his unit was separated and
he was the acting chaplet for the group he was in he was proud of that here's a man telling us all these years later
excuse me but that was distinct then we pulled out marks picture [Music] yeah yeah that's him you're sure I'm
positive that's him it's what I'd been singing along could be probably was that he lived he
definitely lived through the crash in 66 the odds he was still alive especially if he was once captured as a medic he
was useful to these people as a medic I basically feel I had become pretty good friends with mr. Jerry Dennis over the
years since I've been working with him and I've made every effort on behalf of the Navy to try and convince him that we
have a positive identification of his brother Mark's remains I get the impression from mr. Dennis that he still
does not believe they are his brothers remains or for some reason doesn't want to believe it but I in my own heart feel
that for sure we had the remains of Mark Dennis no matter what we come up with I
swear if I'm marched Mark Dennis in to the United States Navy headquarters tomorrow they'd find some excuse to
discredit his identification it doesn't matter what you present they aren't going to change did Mark Dennis die on
the helicopter crash did he survive only to be taken prisoner by the North Vietnamese Jerry Dennis may never know
who is buried in his brother's grave but if it isn't Mark Dennis and another family has never been able to put their
son to rest whether Mark is alive today I don't know what condition he would be in where he
would be I don't know but in my opinion no one else knows either except some Vietnamese who hold the keys but the
point is Mark Dennis has a right a constitutional right to not be listed dead by the stroke of a pen he has a
right to be accounted for he has a right to be demanded and that's never been done by our government for Mark Dennis
after the story originally aired additional details emerge which may shed new light on the mystery of Mark Dennis
we are contacted by the Department of the Army which sought to clarify some of the more controversial issues presented
in our broadcast as we reported Jerry Dennis first became convinced that his brother might still be alive when
Newsweek magazine published this photograph of an unidentified prisoner of war Jerry felt that it bore strong
resemblance to mark six months later the Dennis family was told by the Navy that
the man had been positively identified as Paul Galante a u.s. navy commander shot down over North Vietnam in 1966 and
released from captivity in 1973 nevertheless Jerry Dennis continued to press his case against the military I
was in the Air Force I happen to be appeared of me myself from 66 to 69 16 years later in 1986
Jerry met a man named John King King presented himself as a former POWs had managed to escape he claimed to have met
mark Dennis while both were in captivity that's him it is now known that the name John King
is not officially listed as a powa in any branch of the military perhaps the most controversial aspect of the case
concerns the remains exhumed for Mark Dennis's grave Jerry Dennis did not believe x-rays taken of those bones
matched x-rays taken of his brother at the time of his enlistment with a cooperation of the US Department of the
army we contacted dr. John Fitzpatrick an independent forensic radiologist to positively identify the body dr.
Fitzpatrick examined the blow-up of a known x-ray of mark Dennis and an x-ray of the remains buried and Mark Dennis's
grave when he compared three specific points from the x-rays he concluded that the bones had exactly the same
configuration I compared the x-rays taken on the three vertebrae that were excavated from the site in
Vietnam with the x-ray of mark Dennis the three vertebrae are identical there's enough unique about everybody no
matter what we look at that no two people are alike and therefore the vertebrae are those of mark Dennis and
this is a one on a percent identification after we receive dr. Fitzpatrick's analysis we contact a Gerry Dennis for
his comments in spite of the new forensic findings Gerry still believes that his brother did not die when the
Navy said he did the Department of the army considers a case of Mark Dennis closed next our viewers help capture
Kenneth Robert Stafford one of the FBI's 10 most wanted criminals recently the director of the FBI
William sessions made a special appeal on unsolved mysteries to announce the latest addition to the FBI's ten most
wanted list in 1964 Kenneth Robert Stanton was convicted of child molestation and diagnosis a
criminal sexual psychopath he was later declared fit to reenter society and was set free
in 1989 statin was identified in Jackson Mississippi by a twelve-year-old girl he
allegedly attempted to molest according to the girl Stanton gained entry into her home by
posing as a policeman hi is your mother home no well I'm officer Tom Coles and with the local PD have a high IQ and
he's very intelligent he's able to gain her confidence to get inside the house I'll be gone okay all right once he's
inside and he's determined that the children or child is alone he the blindfolds and frequently quite often he
uses eyedrops and a thermometer possibly for a distraction it's at that time then that
he continues on and assaults the children according to the twelve-year-old girl step the flare when
she began screaming after the Jackson Mississippi assault there were identifications of stem at
Columbus Mississippi that's lost Tuscaloosa Alabama Leesburg Georgia Douglasville Georgia and Warner Robins
Georgia after reviewing a number of these cases and looking at Stan's history from the early 1960s we were
able to conclude that he apparently was a delightful on child molester and probably could be described as a serial
child molester update kenneth robert Stanton has been captured within minutes of our broadcast
several viewers called our tell us of a report that Stanton was living in a trailer park in moraine Ohio with his
wife he had been married just a few weeks earlier local police and FBI agents arrived to staff this trailer
only to learn that he himself had seen our broadcast and fled Stanton's wife and neighbors were stunned stay in the
yard just in case he come back no one said if I can run around the streets at all does anything like I should be put
away five days later Stephanie's identified Rock Hill South Carolina after he allegedly attempted to molest a
nine-year-old girl based on seeing the segments on the program coupled with a police report we suspected as a strong
possibility but Stanton was in Rock Hill or somewhere in this area and we proceeded on an assumption that he was
possibly staying at a local motel two days later FBI agents spotted Stanton's car in the
parking lot of this motel after identifying the vehicle we establish the surveillance of the motel with FBI
agents in York County Sheriff's Department detectives incredibly a check with the motel office revealed as
Stanton had registered under his own name he had indicated to the clerk previously that he wanted to stay an
additional week but he also wanted to move to the main building the clerk at our direction called his room told him
the new room was ready and he could move when stanton emerged from his room we arrested him
we asked then his name he said you know who I am and he indicated he was not a threat to us that he was only a threat
to himself he did indicate that the following day was his birthday [Music] when we return the police are hunting
for a suspect who they believe is murdered at least five women July 31st 1971 Nassau County New York 11:00 p.m. a
20 year old Argentine man named Ricardo Caputo made a late-night call to the police he told police to go to the home
of his girlfriend's parents her name was Natalie Brown Caputo had been dating Natalie for over a year and had told
authorities that he intended to marry her I responded to the scene on Middle Neck Road it was a yes small college
type Cape Cod house I went in the front door and Emilio my left I saw a kitchen and in the kitchen was the body you have
Miss Brown she had been stabbed repeatedly the room was covered with blood it was really a vicious assault
was the worst I have a scene in Winnie's G nice couple a lot of homicides in my life during the time that Natalie and
Ricardo were seeing each other I never saw any signs of volatile behavior on his part both my father and mother
seemed to like him they got along with him well they both thought he was a nice boy badly Browns friends and family
describe her fiance as amiable and attractive winning personality in the case of Ricardo Caputo appearances were
more than deceiving they became a lethal weapon police believe it since 1971 Caputo has employed his charms to kill
again and again and again after Caputo was taken into custody for Natalie Browns murder authorities learned that
before arriving in the United States in 1970 he had been treated for mental illness in an Argentine Hospital the
psychiatric review ruled that Caputo was incompetent to stand trial so he was remanded to the Matawan State Hospital
in upstate New York marijuana's a maximum-security institution and it was there that caputo
would meet a 26 year old psychologist named Judith Becker [Music] very well thank you how are you there's
something I want to talk to you about the other doctors and I were discussing a project which would involve taking you
and a few other patients outside to grow a garden I think I believe it was a relationship a psychologist and a
patient she felt that her patients were also her friends she wanted them to trust her and I think she felt they had
to trust her in order to for her to be able to help them becquer was charmed by Caputo and over the next two years he
worked overtime to gain her trust apparently he succeeded in speaking to other inmates of Matawan state hospital
several of them stated that Ricardo Caputo had been bragging that he was going to use Judith Becker to gain his
freedom from Matawan state hospital in 1973 with Judith Becker's assistance Ricardo Caputo managed to get
transferred out of marijuana to a Manhattan psychiatric hospital it had been two years since Natalie Brown had
been stabbed this hospital is much less restrictive than level allowed patients to leave the
facility during the day this new freedom allowed Judith and Caputo to spend more
time together outside the hospital walls today there is still a debate on just how intimate they became from their
their relationship became romantic from time to time he would leave the grounds and go up to her apartment in Yonkers
Judy and Ricardo did not have a romantic relationship she never described it that way and I
believe she knew enough about her profession and her patience to not have allowed that to happen I think she felt
that he needed whatever help she might be able to give him Judith even took Caputo home to meet her family when we
met Ricardo she introduced him as a fellow who worked with her at Matawan she continued the relationship as a as a
friend and as a psychologist and as somebody he could turn to and I don't believe that she knew she was in as much
danger as she ultimately was October 21st 1974 Judith had failed to meet her parents as planned for a family
boating trip concerned they went to her apartment did you dressed as they located the super of the apartment
building and by the use of a passkey allowed them to enter the apartment when they entered the apartment where she
lived there was dinner for two on the coffee table in the living room and when they walked into the bedroom
they found their daughter lying on her back in bed wearing only a half slip she had been brutally beaten about the head
and strangled with one of her stockings police believe that Caputo took Judas car checkbook and some of her clothing
then he disappeared San Francisco six months later Ricardo Caputo had met another trusting
woman Barbara Taylor was a local book editor these pictures were taken by Barbara and Caputo on a romantic getaway
to Yosemite but on March 30th 1975 Barbara was discovered beaten to death in her apartment Caputo's fingerprints
were found at the scene of the crime by the time Barbara's body was discovered Ricardo Caputo was nowhere to be found
five days later El Paso Texas the search for Ricardo Caputo took a dramatic turn a land calling and sulfur
kado Diaz was delivered into the hands of US immigration by Mexican authorities he was turned over the custody of US
officials and he was incarcerated at the alien detention facility which is located here in El Paso Texas it was
actually lockup there where he is being detained no charges had been filed again
I guess ten of just an administrative thing but first Diaz attracted little attention until he was fingerprinted
he knew them but it would not take long for his real identity to be uncovered ricardo dia was in reality
Ricardo Caputo April 7th 1975 Bhutto and three other detainees took the guard hostage picked up makeshift weapons in
the kitchen [Music] the men then fled the compound and crossed the border into Mexico in a
stolen car all the men were recaptured with the exception of Caputo his companions told police Caputo was headed
to Mexico City there he moved in with a young 21 year old college student by the name of Laura
Marie Gomez two years later 23 year old Laura Marie Gomez was found dead in her Mexico City apartment miss
Gomez was found brutally beaten stomped to death she had been tortured prior to her death Laura Gomez was two and a half
months pregnant police believe the killer and the father the same man Ricardo Caputo handsome charming
intelligent has a violent temper which usually results in homicidal outburst says he's done this all over the United
States and in Mexico we have to consider him may a serial killer incredibly police believe ricardo caputo was killed
again on August 2nd 1983 60-year old Jackie Bernard a prominent author and social activist was found murdered her
throat crushed West Side Manhattan apartment On January 22nd 1985 a private investigator hired by Jackie's fancy
received an anonymous home instead of fiying Jackie's killer as Ricardo Caputo the caller also said that computer
boasted about killing several other women and also some men Jackie burnouts residence our superintendent told Gordon
McEwen I was positive that he had seen Caputo on the premises attempting to gain entry into Jacqueline's apartment
the superintendent was absolutely positive of his identification of Caputo he even added that the hairline of
Caputo hair had receded somewhat he also informed me that Caputo spoke with a South American accent he was very
positive Caputo is a chameleon he can change his identity he can change his looks and he can kill and have no
remorse for having killed he's a good con artist he's a smooth talker he could function and probably just about any
situation he set his mind to go into I'd hate to think that Ricardo will have the
opportunity to do it to another lady or anybody else for that matter and I think
he'd be better off dead [Music] when we return an eerie tale of bizarre lights in a Canadian sky a woman who is
filmed [Music] UFO sightings can usually be explained away as airplane lights weather balloons military maneuvers even
mass hysteria sightings sometimes gain credibility when they were supported by photographs which cannot be written off
as obvious hoaxes all of these photographs and thousands like them have been taken over the last 16 years in
Canada they baffle even the harshest skeptic and raised two elegantly simple questions how and why Vancouver British
Columbia the Pacific coast of Canada for 35 years this city has reported an inordinate number of UFO sightings the
most frequent and well-documented of the sightings have all been attributed to one woman Dorothy eyes at a homemaker
and mother of four Dorothy's first sighting occurred 16 years ago on November 9th 1974 she was 52 years old
I was in the kitchen fixing myself a cup of tea and I had a sensation that something was watching me very strong
feeling so I went over to the window and here was this enormous object sitting up
in the sky it looked like an enormous diamond it was just flashing with going around and around and around it was so
beautiful to look at that I thought I was really lifted up it was absolutely a wonderful feeling I wasn't afraid at all
you know I was I felt really privileged to be able to see something like that at
that time Dorothy and her family lived in Richmond a modest suburb of Vancouver they considered themselves average
working-class people Dorothy's husband and children took her UFO sightings lightly almost as a joke their
skepticism motivated Dorothy to prove which she had seen was not simply a star or an airplane I say I must find some
way of communicating with this thing up there so I picked up a flashlight and said all right whatever I do with this
flashlight will you please imitate me so I flashed the light three times to the left and this object went three
times to the left then I flushed it three times to the right and the object went three times to
the right then I went three times upwards II went three times upwards three times downwards or three times
down wit was doing everything and zigzagging and it went zigzag so I said I'm not imagining this I said this is
really happening so it's intelligent Dorothy was amazed that the light seemed to be trying to
communicate with him so she attempted to capture them on film the results would be startling
what I saw in the sky was just round objects of light rum balls of light but what was on a film you'll see the balls
of light but after a couple of frames there will be an enormous blast of light this is actual footage from Dorothy
super 8 millimeter home movies [Music] on her home viewer Dorothea inched the film back and forth until she isolated a
single bright frame but had it first appeared to be a simple flash of light was actually a maze of colored streaks
oddly like did not spill over onto adjacent frames I noticed that while I'm filming these
objects there suddenly stopped and then notice one object like shooting out a little beam at the other object and that
object was shooting out or being back at it and so I guess it must be messages are summarily passing back and forth on
these beams of light and then when I get it developed how finally strange one frame shots on it Dorothy had the single
frames of film blown up into photographs bright kinetic beams careened in all directions
she also blew up frames of the mysterious balls of light these photographs began to show more and more
curious detail sometimes their beam a light down at me they'll just beam this enormous light
down at me you know and I'll be all lit up with this light I used to ask them to
come closer and closer cuz I wanted better shots and they did you know like come closer and closer
I don't think she's lying about what she's doing I feel that she's quite sincere on the other hand I am not able
to assess her her photographs professionally because that's not part of my expertise but her personality
makeup would make me believe that she's not making things up like most UFO sightings Dorothy's experiences and her
photographs seem to defy conventional logic she says she used three different cameras each one yielded similar results
we asked a photography expert to evaluate Dorothy's film I have seen several similar examples of photography
like this light sources in the sky with dark backgrounds are quite easy to manipulate but these are more
extraordinary in the sense that they were done with a 8-millimeter camera a motion picture camera rather than a
still camera and they have so many different types of effects there's images that I can't explain at all
explain how the lights got into the individual frames I can suggest ways that they could have
been put in intentionally but no ways that they could accidentally have been placed into the film I believe that
these images were produced by natural occurring phenomenon in the night sky and not by extraterrestrial beings or
unexplained objects despite endless skepticism from the scientific community Dorothee eyes that has become an
internationally known figure in the world of UFOs as dorothy's fame spread people often came to visit her in
Vancouver one of them was Gerry Makai of planning and marketing consultant he had
read an article about Dorothea and felt strongly that he had to meet her I was interested enough and moved enough by
that article that I really did just want to find out more from my own interesting
I think it's healthy to be skeptical because I was myself they didn't have any previous experience with the subject
matter at all I didn't even realize up until that point that I had as much of an interest with it as it's turned out
that I do these are like daytime type shots or they look like it is it or is it just the type of lightning or
whatever when I was told to try and get some pictures in the daytime as well and
that's why I got leaves I was listening very intently to what she was saying at which time I noticed that I was hearing
some kind of audible sensing thing that was happening only in my right ear so they know it's solid and it's not just
so excuse me Dorothy I don't mean to interrupt you but I'm getting a strange sensation in my ear here
losing what you're saying you can hear that and I looked at her and I said yes I can
what is it and this brilliant beam of smile went from ear to ear on her face and I remember the look that she gave me
and she said there here Gerry Makai was the first person to say he actually heard the same thing that
Dorothy heard [Music] I don't think any more than 15 or 20 seconds went by and she said do you see
it their sanctuary no I don't see anything where you're looking I'm looking straight ahead to cross the
sector's Bowl she goes no no look over here to the left where I am to my complete shock and amazement what
appeared to be sitting right out in front of the window just to our left was a hard metallic object I remember the
feeling was so intense it was like that was standing in a vacuum and all my hair
was standing on it and as soon as it disappeared Dorothy let out a giggle that was like there you go what do you
think of that Jerry commissioned an artist to draw what he and Dorothy had seen he says he
was completely overwhelmed he did not occur to him to try to photograph the object
Dorothy has accumulated more than 25 hours of film and has had blow ups made of 3,000 frames her enthusiasm remains
unabated and she continues to film hoping that she can one day decipher the meaning if any of the lights I feel
there is some sort of message and there for us they're trying to tell us something from
these pictures it seems like they're coming closer and closer all the time compared to the first pictures I used to
take and each picture now that I'm getting is far more vivid it varies all the time
my mission is to just keep filming I guess and receiving these pictures for as long as I am able to and hope that
one day someone somewhere will be able to understand what it's all about [Music]
when unsolved mysteries visited Dorothea Isaac's home in Vancouver she told us the lights were there and she filmed
them with her super 8 millimeter camera we could not see the lights but our cameraman attempted to film them anyway
he also asked Dorothy to operate his camera the film from Dorothy's 8 millimeter camera showed the usual
brilliant light patterns when we developed our film we did find one tiny unidentifiable light in the sky but it
exhibited none of the characteristic seen in Dorothy's photographs next week on unsolved mysteries in 1986 the body
of 28 year old Debbie Wolfe was found in an oil room submerged in the icy waters
of a pond near Fayetteville North Carolina the police ruled it an accidental drowning a family says it was murdered
80 years ago conrad inna bolson boarded a train in wisconsin and was never seen again
her granddaughter will not rest until she finds an answer did conrad ena simply run away or was she murdered
we'll also bring you a dramatic update on our recent story of a female prison guard who fell in love with a convict
and allegedly helped him escape join me next week another edition unsolved [Music]
[Applause] [Music]
