[Music] this story is about one of law enforcement worst nightmares three young criminals on the road with a truck full
of weapons and nothing to lose at the apex of this explosive triangle was nineteen year old Travis Wade Duncan
whose family had lived in Central Oklahoma for four generations in more than a hundred years not one of the
Duncan's had ever been in trouble with the law until Travis came along in April of 1992
Travis Duncan was an apprentice auto repairman in Seminole Oklahoma he had just moved into his own apartment after
one minor legal scrape in Texas Travis had maintained an excellent work record for nearly a year
Travis was a quiet young man he'd getting little mischief now in the end but growing up he was he was a good kid
and you know from a good family there but in June of 1992 Travis Duncan was arrested for stealing
guns from his employer Travis claimed he had bought the guns he said he had no idea they were stolen
much less stolen from his boss bail was set at $25,000 Duncan's family could not afford to post bond and he was
incarcerated at the Seminole County Jail and you go he appeared to be a little nervous to be in jail Travis was the
kind it was very quiet and he never did cause any trouble at all he was just a real quiet type kind of kept to herself
another prisoner at the jail was 19-year old John Fisher according to law enforcement officials Fisher was by
turns charismatic Fisher was arrested on a murder charge first degree murder John's goal in life was to be the drug
lord of Oklahoma he was constantly fantasizing about and telling and bragging to other people
that he was in with the Madine cartel of South America that he had bukoza money just any amounts you had he had several
accounts that had hundreds of thousands of dollars in it most people knew he was
fantasizing the Travis Duncan was not most people naive and gullible he was an easy mark for John Fisher the
two would forge an unholy alliance getting out here I got $200,000 in a bank in Oklahoma I
got guns I got a car everything Fisher was the kind that would look you right in the face and tell you exactly how you
felt he was a leader among the other inmates he everybody looked up to him Oklahoma's mine six months out of here
Oklahoma's mine I always considered Fisher to be an escapist just by his actions and he would come straight out
and admit it that he would escape if he had the chance i'ma run this place for weeks John
Fisher filled Travis Duncan's head with his wild ideas then on August 18th 1992 Duncan's bail was reduced after his
Paris hired a new lawyer Travis Duncan was released on the condition that he lived with his mother
and father but Duncan insisted on moving back to his own apartment over his Paris
objections he took his sister's pickup truck and left no one knows where Travis Duncan went only what he did
travels manufactured Molotov cocktails different things loaded up the back end of the pickup with all types of
ammunition nine-millimeter pistols shotguns all different types thanks some camping equipment and food water things
to live off of if they had to hide out for a while Seminole County Jail 5:30 p.m. the next
day hey you mind if I go overlooked at Travis's pickup absolutely not just finish up what you're doing Clint hey
Travis hey you want some cigarettes yeah when he pulled the down on me I was frightened he also told me if I didn't
cooperate with him that he would shoot me this job ain't worth your life me Duncan was familiar with a jail routine
he knew that at this hour only the jailer would be on duty [Music] Duncan quickly found the keys to the
other cell he lost no time freeing John Fisher as you tried to turn the escape into a mass jailbreak but only one other
person Timothy Johnson who was willing I think he came as a surprise to Fisher that Travis did this showing up it's
just the quick moment that he did we were prepared for a break for an escape from the inside we'd never dreamed of
one coming from the outside on us it was approximately 30 minutes before we newly
escaped any general broadcast was sent out over the escape with the vehicle description and the occupants the Howard
trolls police units upon the interstate if the muffled radar running high rate of speed and we were able to monitor the
the traffic at that point in no who they were after about certain texture on August 19th I was notified by my
troop headquarters of a vehicle traveling at high speed on i-40 the vehicle was occupied by three white
males and we set up a roadblock to attempt to intercept the vehicle as it came through as they came around the
curve got them a visual sighting our roadblock driver Travis Duncan and accelerated to
about 100 miles an hour [Music] [Applause] [Music] I jump in that Pro car began pursuing
the ticket [Music] they continued East oh man holy bring bet 100 miles an hour's I thought it fit
get Fisher begin doing that the wounded and shotgun and micro cars on this pursuit
every time he may not try to draw a bead on my unit then I would go to the left or the driver's side a particular get as
far over as I could the other minor fire this is something that you expect to see
on the movies that you don't really expect it to happen to you by 7:30 p.m. the three fugitives heading due east and
rampaged along a 150 mile stretch of interstate 40 at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour
just 24 miles from the Arkansas headed for Turley an area which the troopers knew well that the fugitives
did not [Music] we exited the interstate started south on the county road as we did this year I
mean that the passenger up in the air Aki there was something through the windshield pro-gard
that multiple failed to ignite because hit the road the wind the high-speed blew the wick out of Dumas motoring
seconds later Fischer loves another homemade bomb out of the truck into failed two different
as we entered the park area I began to crowd on a high rate of speed again to push him he came to making a left
turning back to the east at that point I had them going straight south into a closed area where there was a big steel
gate and I knew they'd have to either stop at the gate or they would crash through this heavy steel gate a fierce
firefight broke out incredibly no one was wounded even though 70 rounds were fired the
vehicle had over 2,000 rounds of ammunition in it after it crashed there were about seven multi Hills and some
pipe or black powder pipe bombs in the vehicle there were firearms that were there was
camping gear so they had every intentions of going to the woods and not returning to jail don't have time to
fear anything the Adrenaline's pumping so hard with your minds rushing you know I hope I told my kids that I loved them
before I came to work today around 7:45 p.m. Fisher Duncan and Johnson fled into the
woods unwitting they'e trapped themselves on a peninsula jutting into the lake by nightfall the State Highway Patrol
working with local law enforcement agencies and attempted to seal off all possible escape routes
finally the Oklahoma Lake patrol was called in just before 10 p.m. Fisher and Johnson were cornered they
claimed Travis Duncan had been shot and was lying dead in the water but later they admitted that Duncan had in fact
gone off on his own I transported mr. Fisher back to the County Jail in my patrol car as we pulled into the county
jail mr. Fisher looked me in the eye and he said you know you really are a nice guy he said I don't want you to take
this all personally said for people like me and you this is all in a day's work which I stated it may be in a day's work
for him but it isn't definitely not in a normal day's work for me we kept the area contained for nearly three days
hoping to find Duncan we use tracking dogs we did searches and Kacie had in fact been shot and was down in the woods
the place has been thoroughly combed it was combed in a grid search area over and over again
had a mounted patrol and they're on horseback to search all the wood areas to no avail we're unable to locate him
no signs that he's in there there was no evidence to indicate that he'd been shot
one month later police discovered a badly decomposed male body on the south shore of Kerr Lake he was a missing
camper who'd been shot through the head that approximately the same time Travis Duncan disappeared police now theorized
that Duncan swam across the lake he then murdered the camper and used his truck to escape update on may 5th 1994
Travis Wade Duncan finally came home to Seminole County Oklahoma five days after
he was arrested in Boise Idaho thanks to a tip from an alert viewer Duncan's life
on the run is finally okay we believe that he went from Oklahoma to North or South Carolina has went into Washington
and Oregon went to Hawaii was in Arizona prior to being arrested in Boise Idaho so he had traveled around doing odd jobs
living from one state to another once in custody Duncan willingly revealed the details of
his escape from Curley Travis told me that after the crash he stayed in the woods traveled through the woods until
he came to the edge of the water on Kerr Lake he stayed hid in the bushes until about
an hour after dark and then he swam a Cove which would be approximately a half mile wide and then came up and stayed in
the tree line and walked a mountain lion out then he was able to catch a ride and
go east from that area I'm delighted that he's behind bars that kind of ends this story and I'm completely satisfied
with the results that nobody was injured he was apprehended and he's facing the years and Penitentiary that he's looking
at [Music] [Music] Oh September 10th 1991 detective Pat Brennan of the Philadelphia Police was
stunned to receive not one but three telephone calls from a convicted rapist named Julius Patterson out of the blue
Patterson confessed that he and his girlfriend paulette height had killed two people
it was like a man on a mission he was apt to convince me and anyone else that would listen to him that what he had to
say was real and he was out to make the police act on it with this urgency in his voice and in the detail to what he
was saying to us just made me feel that everything he was saying was the truth and would be found in Patterson said one
of the victims was an elderly man named Hall Luther Gordon who had mysteriously disappeared in 1988 Patterson claimed
that the remains of the other victim could be found buried in the basement of a Philadelphia row house incredible he
even admitted that this victim was his own sisters Judis patterson have been telling the
truth testing would later confirm that the bones found in the basement were those of his mentally handicapped
younger sister Jess's these pictures of julius patterson and paul at height were
taken by a bank ATM camera in 1991 authorities believe that the pair may have stolen as much as one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars in Social Security benefits from their two victims both before and after they were murdered
[Music] following our most recent broadcast of the story a former employer Paulette
Hite called our phone center to report that Hyde had been working in a fast-food restaurant and Cliffside Park
New Jersey under an assumed name here's what happened next according to Philadelphia Police
lieutenant Joseph Witte it gave us a social security number she used in the FBI track that social security number to
a wasp player recipient in New York City FBI agents in New York City Police Department state that the location where
she was to pick up her checks at that time both Julius Patterson and Paulette hight were apprehended
after the arrest judas patterson led police to this empty warehouse in North Philadelphia where he said he had left
the partial remains of paul luther Gordon police records confirm that some human bones had been found there in 1989
the police now believed that they were the remains of Hall Luthor Gorton three weeks later
Patterson led police back to the same area claiming that he had buried yet another victim there during the search
the unexpected happened wide behind the factory he saw one of the detectives knocking him down and
then ran down the railroad Jason railroad tracks and jumped off a railroad trestle was about ten feet tall
onto a street and made his escape three days later Julius Patterson was captured at an intersection in North
Philadelphia when he was apprehended Patterson was standing at a bus stop wearing severed handcuffs concealed
under a coat [Music] next a startling new theory about the model for one of the world's great
paintings of Mona Lisa her face is smart of captured imaginations for nearly 500
years she has aspire poets painters and musicians alike she is of course the Mona Lisa a masterwork of the master
artist Leonardo da Vinci through the centuries millions have been drawn to the mystery and beauty
surrounding the portrait accepted art history has it that the model for the Mona Lisa was the wife of a wealthy
Italian lord some say that the loss of a child accounts for her sad captivating expression but no one knows for sure
[Music] according to legend Leonardo da Vinci was so enamored of the Mona Lisa that he
carried the painting with him everywhere he went for the last two decades of his
life when he passed away in 1519 the secret of the Mona Lisa's identity went with him to the grave
providing generations of scholars fodder for a lively debate recently however a computer analysis of the portrait may
have uncovered a startling clue the Mona Lisa's identity a clue which is set the
art world on his ear liliane Schwartz co-author the computer artists handbook pioneered the use of the computer in art
in 1986 Lillian and a colleague were working with a new computer program which involved comparing to digitized
images all right and would you call me when you get something we can look at okay by pure coincidence Lillian had fed
into the computer a self-portrait of Leonardo da Vinci and the Mona Lisa when the self-portrait was reversed and
placed beside the Mona Lisa a single face emerged the results left Lillian Schwartz
flabbergasted this was an incredible match when I pointed this out I said my god I can look at this look at this I
mean Leonardo probably used himself for the model for the Mona Lisa and he's an odd no no he didn't want to agree you
didn't even look at the screen he didn't want he didn't want to accept that everything about the two faces appeared
to be a perfect match the eyes the nose finally and especially the mouth using a
different computer Lillian even managed to turn up the corners of the self-portraits mouth and
approximate the famous Mona Lisa's smile [Music] in addition a comparison of the
foreheads revealed a baffling curiosity an extremely important clue was that the
supraorbital Ridge that is very prominent in the Mona Lisa image and in Leonardo self-portrait is found in
almost all males over 90 percent males rarely would you see that in a female head
the conclusions seem preposterous at lien owner perpetrated an incredible practical joke and actually served as
the model for the woman often deemed the world's most beautiful in January of 1987
Lillian Schwartz took her findings to magazine publisher Lake Allison initially I was very skeptical of
Lillian's discovery but when I got to understand the very detailed work being done in the laboratory it started to
make not only sense to me that this was the answer but as we got to know more about human facial characteristics that
it was the only answer there's certain things that right away would puzzle an art historian one is that the images
Leonardo's images say the Mona Lisa is remarkable precisely for the fact that it's not very distinct the outlines of
the face are not very strongly marked there's a shadow under the nose so you can't tell exactly how long it is so if
one wants to apply a scale there's nothing that tells you exactly where that scale should go in other words
you're placing something very specific on top of something that's not very specific
professor Brandt is also skeptical about whether the drawing is a self-portrait if the drawing is by Leonardo its style
suggests a date when he would not yet have looked so old some in the art will believe the portrait was actually drawn
by a clever forgery so Lillian how's it going well I found something really interesting here
Lillian Schwartz refused to back down in the face of mounting criticism she set up to prove her theory compared that
eventually Lillian came across this study of an italian duchess named Isabella that many believe was a
preliminary sketch for the Mona Lisa when Lillian compared the drawing of Isabella to an x-ray of the painting she
found that it matched an under sketch that people had always assumed was the Mona Lisa for Lillian it was the final
crucial detail I'm convinced that Leonardo started with Isabella and then he used himself to complete this work of
art changed much of what was the Duchess incorporating his own dimensions and forehead to create this feigned this
fictionalized face when you take all the evidence of art history all the things we know about Leonardo when you take the
technical applications of Lillian's work Lillian's theory holds up on reflection
I am more convinced than ever that is the answer however professor Kathleen Bratz argues
that most everything about Lillian's theory conflicts with Leonardo's own philosophy about art Leonardo cautioned
artists that every painter somehow paints himself that is that his own self-image is somehow inherent in his
images of others Leonardo says we have to try to counteract that so therefore it would be absolutely a contradiction
he would should willingly impose his image into that of a young woman at Leonardo da Vinci serve as his own model
for the world's most celebrated painting or have some scholar as an artist jump to hasty conclusions
for 500 years people have wondered who posed for the Mona Lisa yet she has refused to divulge her secrets perhaps
that is why she is smiling what we returned a grieving husband becomes a suspect to the mysterious
disappearance of his wife I had nothing to do with my wife's disappearance I would like to think that she stay alive
but I do feel that it's possible they could go the other way too I want to know that she is alive ray on
March 29th 1990 Stephen Murphy of Johnston Rhode Island came home from work to find his house oddly silent
empty a small suitcase was missing and Stephens wife of 12 years Doreen was nowhere to be found
bring I started looking for the clothes I noticed some jeans a couple of shirts are missing losses I checked a small
safe that we used to have and I noticed that there's some money out of that there's probably a few hundred and here
that was going other than that there was the car was in the yard there were no notes the old letter is nothing doreen
morphia was 34 years old when she disappeared since then there have been several unconfirmed sightings of her but
beyond that nothing no phone calls no paper trail no body [Music] over the past three years Stephen Murphy
Oh has spent thousands of dollars searching for his wife he believes is still alive he has publicized the case
on television and newspapers and is offering a $5,000 reward the police however become convinced that Doreen was
murdered Stephen Murphy all discovered that when someone disappears for no apparent reason the most obvious suspect
is a person who knew them best Stephen Murphy ou met Doreen Dobson in 1976 and quickly found they both enjoyed active
lifestyles two years later they were married Stephen worked in the jewelry business
and enjoyed weightlifting and driving fast cars Nerine was a successful career woman a
purchase manager at the Rhode Island School of Design with her similar outgoing personalities Noreen and
Stephens seemed the perfect match but in the fall of 1989 a crack appeared in the
Mafia's perfect world that October Doreen abruptly quit her job and said she needed a change it was a surprise to
her bosses as well as myself in her friends and you just don't quit a job and not go anywhere she's not the type
to just leave for no reason according to Stephen Murray's behavior grew increasingly erratic to the point that
she seemed on the verge of a nervous breakdown from a strong independent woman she became very weak very
unassured of herself basically a nervous wreck in a matter of weeks look just go
back to bed I'll be there in a couple of minutes okay please what is it please tell me what's
wrong is it me is it something I did oh it's not you it's me I just why didn't you try and push the issue like
should get more hysterical I remember cup times you said I think I'm having a breakdown and tears were coming down
with you just shake all I could do is hold on please you always could talk about everything
before why not now he said it's I can't at this time I will tell you but I can at this time and I
never did find out talk to me please Stephen says a Doreen's bizarre behavior continued
until the day she disappeared [Music] hi Lara hi is is Doreen there Stephen admits he did nothing for two days after
Doreen vanished assuming she needed some time alone to sort things out oh really
there's nothing finally he called Doreen's mother well she had not seen or talked to her daughter alone and I
really think she went away to get a few days by herself to clear her head when Steve called me in the morning he
sounded strange I said there's something wrong then he called the afternoon right away I know
us I told call the police now don't wait the police questioned Doreen's family and friends however no one knew what
might have prompted her to just pick up and walk away then a phone call took the
investigation in a new direction I just call Stephen mafia back he said he had Darian following Ron by two private
investigators for like 11 months and I figured off if he was anything major but I felt something wasn't right
sound the tape fight and something's not right I want to find out what it is so I
did hire a private investigator on and off for a year maybe a few hours a month to find follow her once in a while
because I don't know what was going on I just felt that there was something wrong
but they never found anything basically what you have is you have a man who has a personality who has his wife followed
around for 11 months for no reason at all in this same man later on down the road his wife disappears she's missing
for two days and he has no concern to follow her or call her or to report it to the police I mean that's totally
inconsistent with his personality when he has a following on for no reason here you have your wife missing now for two
days and you don't think anything unusual you don't you don't make any phone calls or call the police it's not
consistent authorities had nothing but suspicions on the one hand there was nothing to indicate that Doreen was
still alive on the other hand there was no evidence that she had met with foul play
then on June 13th 1992 and a half months after Noreen disappeared police got their first break in the case when they
received two anonymous letters in the first letter opened by investigators the author attacked Doreen's character and
accused her of cheating on her husband saying among other things although on the outside she personifies class beauty
and professionalism in reality she is nothing more than a cheap apartment her promotions were achieved by her sexual
prowess rather than management or leadership abilities the first letter that we received mentioned names of
people that she was involved with that we spoke to who were totally surprised to even have the police questioned that
the name was even mentioned in this investigation one of them was an elderly gentleman I
mean we talked to coworkers there was absolutely no inclination of darian having her fail at any one her co-worker
says that was totally out of her character she had mentioned just a normal conversation with her co-workers
that that's something she would never be involved in or tolerate was any type of
marital affairs even long before she disappeared however according to Doreen's sister
Doreen had once considered leaving Stephen for another man not one year before she vanished but 10 years earlier
she was having an affair and the guy that she was having the affair with was leaving or wanted to have her leave with
him to wherever he was going she was pretty wary very upset about what she should do and she came to me
and eventually to my husband to talk about it and we all decided that probably the best thing she should do is
not not do what she was thinking of doing so this had been thought that had passed through her head before the
second letter was even more disturbing than the first this letter gave a chilling account of how Stephen Marshall
had allegedly murdered his wife Stephen got hot under the collar he made for couch and strangled Dorian
on a narrow dirt road he stopped and deposited white spot Ian reads in a pond when we first received these letters at
captain I felt as though that Stephen Maffeo may have been the author of these letters based on some of the information
that was contained the contents he would have only been the one to know these these contents what we did at that point
was to a reaffirm our belief we had him sent up to satiric University and had him examined by dr. Murray Myron who's
an expert in psycholinguistics for his opinion is who was the author may have been well it's got to be of someone who
knew Doreen quite well close to the family the Murphy owes and then one says that the easiest and simplest account of
this was it was designed to deceive the authorities in his report dr. Myron pointed a finger directly as Stephen
Maher field Myron concluded that Marvel probably wrote both letters and was quote a logical suspect in the murder of
his wife I did not type any letters there police they can say whatever they want and they
do and they get away with it I'm really getting tired of the accusations and the
allegations anyone knows if you have something bring it forward the police seized several typewriters to which
Stephen had access a comparison of type styles revealed at the first letter had indeed been written on a typewriter
belonging to one of Stephens close relatives establishes for the first time a linkage between the document the
instrument and a suspect so it was a major of importance to us and I mean it's like a fingerprint
as far as identification it's easy for them to suspect the spouse and they've been they've been proved wrong before
they'll be proven wrong again everybody calls me an optimist and everybody says oh steve keller but i don't believe that
at all none of his friends do as well the ones that I know that I've talked to I myself don't the police do but there
is no evidence they've tried to convince me that he did do it there's a possibility but in my mind when I see
the way Steve acts when a male comes a phone rings as I said that goes back he still thinks that she's alive
today Stephen Murphy who lives in the same house at he and Doreen shared for 12 years the police still believe that
Stephen is the only person responsible for the disappearance of his wife although they lack enough evidence to
charge him at this time I had nothing to do with my wife's disappearance nor do I
know where she is I would like to think that she's still alive but I do feel that it's possible they
could go the other way too but I want to know that she is alive [Music] [Music] Beks
