Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack - Season 7, Episode 20 - Full Episode | Forensic Files

this program is about unsolved mysteries whenever possible the actual family members and police officials have
participated in recreating the events what you are about to see is not a news broadcast
Christmas Eve 1983 a freak snowstorm in Mexico spells disaster for a vacationing
family from Atlanta Georgia fortunately an American couple both apparently doctors happened upon the scene and
helped save the lives of at least five people perhaps you can help find these unknown good Samaritans all around the
world hundreds of people say they are being tormented 24 hours a day by a loud rumbling sound that almost no one else
can detect could the source be a hi-tech radio system used by the Navy to communicate with our submarine fleet
meet Randolph dial sculptor artist convicted murderers for eight years dialed it is time quietly and peaceably
Oklahoma's prison system a became a model prison and even started an inmate arts program with a woman named Bobby
Parker a wife of a deputy warden then last August Bobby Parker left her husband a note saying she had gone
shopping she never came home later that night authorities discovered that Randolph dial that somehow slipped away
from the prison and vanished join me for this exciting and intriguing addition bums solve mysteries
in additions later in the show we'll bring you a dramatic new update of a pointed case of lost love solved thanks
to you our viewers [Applause] [Music] [Music] imagine being plagued by the sound a
loud annoying hum that grinds away incessantly day after day night after night incredibly more than a thousand
people throughout the world reporting just such a phenomenon and it's driving them to destruction the thing I noticed
about it was it didn't change the sound didn't change like it was getting closer
or further away or slowing down or speeding up it was just a steady droning sound there is a little bit of a whine
somewhere in the background here and it's a it's kind of like the air is sizzling I've been hearing the hum for
about five years it sounds like a diesel engine running parked away but yet it has a physical effect it seems to make a
sound rest and that's in their sternum in our thorax area it causes a vibration temporal lobe lobe and actually causes
ear pain at times and paint on the earlobes Pal Rooney Anand moved from Detroit to Michigan's northern peninsula
hoping to escape the hustle and bustle of suburban living but instead of peace and tranquility he'll soon found himself
tormented by the hum it began as a minor annoyance while Hal was studying for a trade school entrance exam I noticed it
a few times before I was studying but thinking that it was a motor it wouldn't bother me that much
but then I noticed it affecting how I could focus and how I could concentrate that's when it really started agitating
me so I was able to ignore it maybe for the first month or two but after a while
when I got closer to the deadline of this entrance exam I started noticing this thing is really affecting how I'm
studying it's really affecting my thought process and how I'm taking in information and it got to where I
couldn't tolerate it anymore and I had to know what it was the first few nights I went out looking for it I went to the
natural places that you would think a hum was coming from I checked out the sewage pumping stations the airport the
ventilation systems on top of Michigan Tech University any place that would generate a sound finally I was driving
like a hundred miles a night in one direction looking for it no matter where I went the intensity was
always the same okay I have a tuning fork and I'm just gonna sort of get an idea of how well your ears line up with
each other so the first we brought how to Los Angeles to visit dr. Eugene flows one of the nation's leading ear nose and
throat specialists he'll was found to be suffering some hearing loss but there was nothing specific that might explain
the bizarre hum from what we learned today we can't prove one way or the other whether there are extraneous
sounds in the environment or within him those sounds in the environment might be
perceived by him differently than they really are because of things going on in his system I'm certain that I'm feeling
something from an outside source I'm a yoga teacher massage therapist or offer I've studied acupuncture I'm very aware
of the sounds that my body makes and I know this isn't my body producing this many people have suggested that I might
be picking up the electrical fields from the local power grid so what I'd like to
do is go down into the caves and get completely underneath it and see if I can get away from the
Electrical Fields has tried just about everything to escape the auditory onslaught even braving the deep tunnels
of an old abandoned copper mine near his home what he'll finally be at peace we soon had our answer now I hear it I hear
it louder it's more penetrating it's actually conducting through my bones more forcefully than it does on the
surface disappointing very disappointing I thought I could get away from it down
under all this problem it's worse this is a tape I developed as a simulation of the phenomenon as I experienced it I'm
gonna play it Sara Ellen has been hearing the hum for three years I am then I experienced it out but
just so that you can hear kind of what it sounds like that's what I'm going to do
now the volume level that I hear it at is much more like that so you bring it down to the minimum and then you turn it
up until you can just perceive it which is right there and that's how it's in my environment
all the time whenever it's quiet whenever there's a quiet moment I'm in meditation or something I have to share
my space with this and it's not comfortable Sarah Allen lives in Taos New Mexico
which literally hums with activity since 1989 dozens of local residents claimed to have heard the irritating sound sara
is a radio broadcast engineer she first experienced the hum in 1992 after she'd been dispatched to repair a transmitter
it was Sarah's knowledge of electronics that later enabled her to recreate the noise so that non sufferers would know
exactly what it sounded like we played Sarah state for Winona witted of nearby Santa Fe New Mexico
that's very close very very close tell me buddy that's very close it's uh it's it's a little it's quite a lot more
pleasant and then the then the jagged grinding glass sensation that or sound that would come through for Winona five
years of constant humming is completely disrupted her life she is currently on disability leave from her job with a
national park service like many sufferers Winona takes comfort in the knowledge that she is not alone in no
fewer than 10 countries on five different continents people have been hearing a similar low-frequency sound
most often described as a truck laboring up a hill today many of the low-frequency suffers belong to an
international network dedicated to finding the cause of the hum we call ourselves hearers but actually we don't
really feel like we're hearing we feel like we're sensing and none of us we're not protesters or we're not activists
it's it's not like we want to take the day off of work and study physics and electromagnetic resonance but it's
driving us nuts and we have the support and exchange of information that we need
with each other and that's really been helpful we began to keep notes not so much a logbook of every day because it's
there every day you write in the law gets there today you know and that's about all you can say about it what we
did start noticing was the intensity increases which seemed to track international events mostly whenever the
United States is involved militarily somewhere the intensity seems to increase the hearers have come to believe at the
hum may be caused by a radio system known as e.l.f for extremely low frequency the Navy developed a LF to
better communicate with the nation's submarine fleet but a sub is underwater it cannot receive standard radio waves
however low frequency signals are capable of penetrating through hundreds of feet of water to reach vessels on the
ocean floor perhaps not coincidentally the system has been in use since the late 1980s around the time the people in
the u.s. first began to hear the hum I'm fairly convinced that it is military not
only because of my own research into it in my own reading and my own theories but because of feedback I've gotten from
scientists from people in the Armed Forces or who have armed forces connections and other people like I
can't name but who have come forward to me and who have pretty much verified my theories at least in principle recently
a team of scientists was commissioned to find the source of the hum they traveled
at hours with some of the most sophisticated sound and radiation sensing equipment available in the end
the scientists were unable to find anything dramatic or unusual at Taos that might explain the hum however they
did conclude that the hum is a quote bona fide scientific mystery that deserves additional inquiry I'm hearing
the hum now and we have days where it isolates on different sides and today it seems to be oscillating more on the
right side of my body I don't believe how you can't hear it what is a source of the mysterious hum
could it be Els or is it possible that more than a thousand people around the world are imagining the same thing it is
interesting to note that there is an e LF transmitting station just 80 miles from Hal Rooney Ana's house in Michigan
however there is not a known station or than 1,500 miles of Taos tour now the hum remains a mystery for those who
cannot hear it and a major source of aggravation for those who can [Music] on a previous broadcast we brought you
the poignant story of the Stallings family of Tipton Oklahoma a family so poor that in 1948 Lila Stallings her
husband and their six children were forced to live in an old school bus in spite of the terrible hardships Lila
valiantly struggled to maintain a home belief that was as normal as possible thank you we always had something to do
and we had toys to play with and each other to play with so we don't we didn't think of ourselves as being different
however the authorities felt otherwise Lila and her husband were eventually charged with child neglect
the charges would later be dropped but not before all of the Stallings children were placed in foster homes two of them
Mary and Joe were reunited in 1959 since then they have done everything possible
to find their brothers and sister only to be thwarted time after time I've tried every avenue that I have came
before me to try and locate these presents history and I'll never quit until the last day
in my life unsolved mysteries appeared to be the last hope and happily the day after our
broadcast 35 years of frustration came to an end for John Mary a man named Li Shu lien of Owasso Oklahoma called our
phone center he identified himself as Ernest Lee Stallings it was only five when the family was split apart Lee was
thrilled to hear that his brother and sister were looking for him and was anxious to meet them three weeks later
Lee arrived at a hotel in Tulsa Oklahoma to be reunited with Jo you know the two
brothers had not seen each other in nearly half a century [Music] no no that's what I heard
how describe it it's such a wonderful feeling about I'm definitely against walking in this morning he walked in and
we met hugged each other no bike and realized the feeling separated too many years about 40 47 I really didn't know
how I was going to react you know we've been separated 46 years I felt a lot better than what I thought
I might I was really you know felt real good too hugging we've already started making us some plans to get together go
fishing so we've got a future ahead of us to be together and enjoy each other sadly Jo and Lee's sister Mary was
unable to attend the reunion however she has spoken with Lee on the phone and they plan to get together in the very
near future at Judy right yeah [Music] when we return a family is rescued from a terrifying accident by two anonymous
strangers [Music] it is a traveler's worst nightmare you're in a foreign country driving
along a dark winding road with almost no visibility and suddenly lose control of
your car [Applause] that exact scenario came horribly true with an over family of Atlanta Georgia's
some 12 years ago they were in Mexico on their way to celebrate Christmas with relatives when the journey was cut short
by an unexpected disaster a disaster that overs miraculously survived thanks to the selfless heroism of two anonymous
strangers the adventure began two days before Christmas in 1983 along for the trip for
Joe Dover his son Vance his father-in-law James cousin tongue Tommy seven-year-old son David and a
close family friend Mary Ann pretending [Music] there's a real warm atmosphere we were
all because we were all related we're all friends we talked and we you know we ate in the van coming down we played
games and just really had a real warm warm time coming down we had dis purchased a new customized van and it
was loaded with everything we had a television then we had a refrigerator so we were stocked up and just make an
extremely good time and having a good time the drive from Atlanta to the city of Ciudad Victoria Mexico was about 1200
miles the Dover's hope to complete the trip in 48 hours and arrive by Christmas Day to save time they stopped only for
gas and the adults took turns driving [Music] now we left on Friday afternoon and we
drove all day and all night we got into Rio Texas Saturday morning which was Christmas Eve and across the border the
further along we got hit in the afternoon it really began to get cold and began to snow the weather was
getting really bad and I had been to Mexico several times in the past and I had never experienced anything like this
in my life it was extremely cold rainy snowy it was just very uncharacteristic for the area by the time the Dover's
crossed the border the Vance was behind the wheel they were now an hour outside of Monterey the last
major city before their final destination they're supposed to go over a mountain range to get to the city and
then we were diverted there was a policeman in the road hi well no we need to go to Monterey
what are they scared of that he's not sitting up what I yeah with his father translating from the backseat advanced
learned that the main road through the mountains had been closed and we had to circle around the on the mountings can
come into Monterey from a more easterly direction and the snow began to really pick up and it was a real driving snow
it didn't want coming to straight down him and the size of the road began to be coated we could see it on the heels
slowed down a little bit everybody a second little bit slick out there okay we're trying to be extremely cautious
because the road conditions were really getting getting pretty bad and my father
had just told me to even be extremely careful and just moments after he had told me that suddenly lost control
I don't know how much time of laughs I don't know how long I was out I have no idea if it was five minutes or an hour
but I woke up and it was just a matter of moments when someone opened the door and pulled me out and the pain that I
felt that that time was absolutely scruciating as Vence was pulled from the wreckage he was unaware of the carnage
surrounding him the four occupants of the other vehicle had been killed instantly incredibly the Dover's had all
survived but most of them were barely clinging to life by the time Vance's father was pulled from the van the
rescue effort had been joined by a passing American coupling both of them apparently doctors my father and he was
taken in us and put in the back of the pickup truck as well as my grandfather my grandfather had received just severe
head injuries to the point of his skull showing his cut his head was just cut really badly and the doctors later told
us that by him putting being put in the back of a pickup truck actually saved his life because the cold weather
actually helped seal up and clot the blood through a haze of terrible pain baths
watched the rescue effort unfold he gradually realized that the two Americans had taken charge of the
operation my cousin Tommy was pulled from the van and his vital signs were taken and it
was assumed that he was dead and they were pulling other people out and trying to revive the ones that they thought
were still alive after a few minutes had gone by this doctor went you checked Tommy's vital signs again and found a
very small pulse vance now believes that if not for the woman's attention Tommy would have died on the spot a few
moments later she placed Tommy's son David apparently uninjured in the car with vance a lady then got in the back
seat with me and she was talking to me and comforting me and I think she was trying to tell me
what all hadn't had occurred although at that time I really just couldn't make it
out the nearest clinic was in Monterey approximately an hour away the unidentified American woman stayed
by Vance's side during the trip the hospital was taken in too it was unlike anything I've ever seen before
it was it reminded me almost like a mass unit or something out of a war movie there was there was one nurse there
though she spoke really good English her name was Alicia she told me that my leg
was broken really bad she told me that they didn't have any anesthesia but they had to put it in
traction she said they were gonna have to put a pin through my knee we can to help you wait where is everybody else
well there is a man and a woman and a child here the nurse was referring to Vance's cousin Tommy his friend Marielle
and Tommy's son David the nurse told me that they were injured severely they had
head injuries and she didn't think that they would make it through the night there were appeared to be no sign of my
father and grandfather and I had all kind of thoughts go through my head I mean it I mean they weren't at the
hospital I didn't know maybe they were taken to a morgue and I had no idea and no one in the hospital knew where they
were at Christmas morning dawned with a Christmas miracle Vance awoke to find that his young cousin David had in fact
escaped unharmed and that Marianne and Tommy were going to pull through Vance was surprised to see that the mysterious
woman his guardian angel was still with him Christmas it brought a lot of joy to me
knowing that she was there and she she brought us both the little Christmas present and she spent Christmas morning
with us there the woman raised Vance's spirits even higher when she assured him that his father and grandfather was
still alive and being treated elsewhere another clinic my husband is with him right now you remember anything about
last night [Music] she told me that her husband were on vacation and they happened upon the
accident just moments after it occurred I've always wondered what would have happened had they not come upon the
accident because we were an hour or so outside of this major city and there was nothing out there at all and these
people just showed up doctors showed up out of nowhere and and you know I believe they were extremely
instrumental in saving our lives 12 years later the accident has had a profound effect on the entire Dover
family today they are all actively involved in the church and in fact Joe is a lay pastor with his own
congregation of more than 300 perhaps the most thankful of all is Joe's wife Linda she is convinced that had it not
been for the two unknown angels she might have lost her entire family I feel like it is a miracle
many times is an accident and you know we just drive by an accident but and they could have done that that day but
they didn't they stopped and through their staffing they saved the lives of our family and we just wanna say thank
you [Music] it is a prison officials worst nightmare an inmate who can charm the devil who
knows how to play the system who harbors a deep but completely hidden desire to escape confessed murderer Randolph
Franklin Dyle was just such a man last August diode escaped from the Oklahoma State
Reformatory and he took 32 year-old Bobby Parker the deputy wardens wife with him
this is their story it began in 1986 on videotape Randolph Dyle voluntarily confessed to committing a contract
killing five years earlier and tell me to get off his property not fired for nearly eight years Dyle served hard time
but Randolph Dyle was not your run-of-the-mill lifer an artist of some repute before prison he managed to
hoodwink the guards and wardens in prison eventually he was transferred to a minimum security unit at Oklahoma
State Reformatory there Randolph dial became the very definition of a model prisoner
Randolph Dahl was given trusty status he was given full run of the prison in fact
as a trustee even though he was under a murder conviction he was given access to
property outside the prison there was really no supervision over Randolph dial dials regular work assignment was
caretaker at the home of deputy warden Randy Parker Parker his wife Bobbie and their two young daughters lived right
next door to the prison over the years Bobbie Parker had worked with a number of inmates as a volunteer for various
rehabilitation programs she and Randolph Dyle were brought together when money was donated to start up a prison arts
project what's the big push on it anyway because we've got people wanting to buy these
dial I mean darn often spent time alone with Barbie in her garage which had been
converted into a ceramic studio given the circumstances it was not unusual when dial developed something of a crush
on Bobby I think that he probably read more into the working relationship than what was actually there you know a man's
locked up for over eight years going on nine years he has a woman who is very attractive very cordial very
compassionate caring I tell you why Bobby you just come right over here you work side by side with me
we'll be on your schedule what do you think I think you do your job and I will do mine and we'll meet my
schedule after a few weeks Randy Parker began to feel that dial was spending too
much time with Bobby at the house and acting as if he controlled the arts program you need help over there I had
told him you screw up out here and I'll show you what administrative power is all about and he was very much aware
that August 30th 1994 began normally enough for Randy and Bobbie Parker first breakfast were their two daughters then
Randy went to work next door and the girls headed off for school [Music] when Randy Parker left his house
Randolph diet was already out front working in the yard yeah she gonna make me do this all day she's got some other
things lined up for me she came back to work out trade jobs we take it easy on them on over there sir
[Music] at noon Randy Parker came home for lunch but found the house empty there was a
note from Bob he's saying that she had gone shopping and that his sandwich was in the refrigerator it was not anything
out of the ordinary at all to see a note there let me know where she was being concerned that I would be worried there
having my lunch there for me back at the prison Randy Parker's day proceeded without
incident then at 4:45 he received a troubling call from his older daughter not here right now and I just came in
and brandi was sitting all alone on the floor mommy's gone shopping she'd be home real soon
and got to be home in a little bit okay thanks dad [Music] Randy Parker arrived at his house thirty
minutes later Bobby was still not there soon Randy began to fear the worst he contacted the
area hospitals but there was no word of Bobby at a loss Randy rehashed the day in his mind then I begin to thank back
you know I hadn't seen down since this morning and usually when I come home for lunch he's usually there hanging out
hello captain Randy yeah would you do me if I have just cleared dial from his cell and sent him over here now
till two to two or one be advised then midol it's not in his cell repeat him $1 not in himself I need
at that point that the Dow had escaped in the fear that he had taken Bobby but yet I hadn't I hadn't admitted that to
myself yet Bobby what are you talking about Bobby what's wrong Bobby Bobby and she hung up and I knew immediately that
she probably had been abducted because my daughter wouldn't talk like that she would have called her own girls and
everything she was not a crying person I didn't know what that was going to do if
he did how he was gonna harm or hurt her straightening her and of course I was worried sick about her but then I was
also worried you know how am I going to tell the girls the next day Bobby called her best friend with the
same message the friend also felt that Bobby was being held against her will then 24 hours later
Bobby's van was found abandoned just across the Texas border the vehicle was basically clean we found no indications
that a violent struggle had taken place in the vehicle there was there were no blood splattering zatt all we did find
cigarettes their basic cigarettes which was the brand that Randolph Dyle smoked in the meantime brandy Parker had
learned from an inmate but for several months dile had been actively trying to barter
for valium on the prison black market this fit with Randy Parker's firm belief that dial had kidnapped his wife he
could have got some valium to her in a glass of tea or something then he picked her up then he walked her up to the van
and he laid her down in there he took off I believe that's what happened but the
fact remained that there was no concrete evidence of a kidnapping the authorities
began to consider another possibility perhaps Bobby Parker had run away with Randolph diam
it does appear that there was a certain fascination that Randolph doll had for her Bobbie Parker from interviews with
other inmates at the institution he made comments indicating that that he was romantically attracted to Bobby we don't
know if that was reciprocated in any fashion at this point we are under the assumption that she was taken against
her will we have no information to indicate otherwise my wife did not leave voluntarily went
down she did not fall in love with him she III believe that to the very depths of my soul that that is that is not even
within the realm of possibilities that she would abandon two children run off with an inmate who's convicted for
murder throw away everything that she's ever had that's just not even possible that is absurd and ridiculous
thank his quick ten days after Bobby disappeared she made one final phone call this one to her brother's wife
once again Bobby sounded upset she asked her sister-in-law to tell the girls she
loved them and that everything would be all right and that was the last contact that anybody's had that I know of and
this plane that's been September night that's been a long time and I just keep waiting for another phone call keep
waiting for something but dials not gonna let her call again well I personally painted all these ones you
see here there have been several sightings of Randolph nine and a woman who may be Bobby Parker's one of the
most credible occurred in September of 1994 at an art sale in Galveston Texas if the woman would dial was indeed Bobby
she had either dyed her hair blonde or was wearing a wig witnesses say she seemed nervous and
scared [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] next a businessman suspected of criminal activity disappears during a fishing
trip a tragic accident a clever ruse to avoid arrest the muddy turbulent waters of the Colorado river's snake some 1500
miles from seven different states over the centuries the Colorado's powerful currents have carved out hundreds of
gorges including the Grand Canyon in Arizona but hidden by the rivers majestic beauty is a world of untold
secrets among them the puzzling fate of a man named Robert RCA who disappeared during a fishing trip on the Colorado
more than eight years ago to all appearances Bob are Syria was a jovial fun-loving family man who made friends
at the drop of a hat he was also the quintessential wheeler dealer in fact around Phoenix our Syria was known as a
man who could get you almost anything from soft pretzels to camper shells bill ruddy knew him as well as anyone the
first time I met Bob our Series was I went down to bought a camper shell fine and then he needed some work done I
needed things done and we just traded on and off and and I sold him a car that I
had fixed and our relationship just kind of rolled from there from the rest of time on bill Redick and his wife Janet
hit it off with Bob RCA and his wife right from the start hey check out these little guys all
right that was nice that's our continued collection got some more Bob was fascinated by Bill's
collection of rare Native American Kachina dolls worth $75,000 you know I also collect guns I've got an 1881 Smith
& Wesson I'd like to see oh I'd love to see that I'll go get it great bill was equally proud of his
priceless antique guns he left Bob in the living room while he went to retrieve them from the safe I
had enough my safe where they were at and then I turn around looked and he's right behind me it seemed unordinary to
me because I was gonna get him out the ones that I wanted to show him now we're just easy to pick up and bring in there
and I didn't do that craftsmanship he was very calm and very cool or about the whole issue he didn't seem to be
interested anything he just seemed to be more like MoMA that's nice sort of like
nonchalant on April 3rd 1984 bill Reddick was out of town on business at around 8 p.m. his wife Janet came home
from work the house had been ransacked the valuable Kachina dolls were laid out on a sofa and table
[Music] I went to leave to get out of the house [Music] from that point on my memory is kind of
black until I woke up in the hospital a couple days later with Janet unconscious
the thieves made off with the Redax entire collection of Kachina dolls all of Bill's antique guns and Janet's
jewelry total value more than two hundred thousand dollars Janet had been struck five times in the head with a
ball-peen hammer miraculously she would recover but only after major surgery and months of
rehabilitation got the gun got the Kachina dolls while Janet was recuperating barbar series stopped by to see how she
was doing at the time the writing's just assumed he was a concerned friend perhaps a little too conservative she
said to us that he was wish that he could help us find the guy and if he did he'd be glad to kill him for us there's
three things that bob was involved in he was balding drugs he was involved in murder and he was involved in robbery
almost two years later this man an admitted contract killer went to the police with an incredible story he
claimed Bob our cieariy had masterminded a series of robberies but the targets were our series owned friends and
business associates would have dinner with these guys have more to the house play golf with him and then maybe two
three years down the road he'd set them up we were initially a little skeptical of this information however as we began
to investigate the crimes this subject story seemed very credible Phoenix police sought to verify the
informants allegations they arranged for him to secretly tape record a conversation with our cieariy
okay don't forget that to make that thing to see him drive up got you man the meeting between the information
source and Robert are sherry took place in a parking lot I was able to view the meeting through binoculars from some
distance away in the exchange our Siri canceled an alleged hit he had hired the informant to carry out its off come on
Bob it's on it's off after we retrieved the recording device from him and listened to what was being said left
little doubt that our Siri was in fact involved in the crimes that the information source was alleging the
informant gave detective flicked several items he said were stolen by our series
henchmen I never thought I'd see these again some of the valuables belong to Janet Redding's
let me know if any of them are familiar to you robbing our cieariy yeah is he involved
in this when I looked at the slip of paper and I saw Bob's name on it everything just hit this person is
involved with what happened at my house Robert our Siri was charged with seven felony counts including heading an
organized crime syndicate racketeering and conspiracy to commit murder but a few months later in November of 1986
those charges were dropped called police continued the investigation according to
the authorities they were gambling if they could build an even stronger case Bob or Siri was once again free to come
and go as he pleased in January of 1987 he set off on a fishing trip with his nephew and two
friends they chose a spot on the Colorado River known as Lee's ferry Bob called me and he said he'd been
exonerated and he wanted to celebrate and that's why we went to Lee's ferry was to kind
of celebrate that being all over and done with Ray Brown says that his darkness fell on
the first day of the trip our serie began to complain about chest pains at the duck our Siri was the last
man to disembark his nephew had to help him from the boat the other man on the fishing trip was asked not to be
identified I walked up the dock and left the nephew and Bob standing there and I
went to the bathroom and when I was leaving I heard a splash down by the dock the water was over a man's head at
the boat dock and I backed the truck up and shined the lights out on the river and we could see nothing and I knew he'd
must be drowned in the area where our Siri disappeared the river brought us out almost into a lake rescuers feared
that he may have floated a half mile downstream towards a set of powerful Rapids but an intense four-day search
yielded no trace of Bob our Siri I feel that if he were in that upper section of
the river in the Clearwater there's a very high likelihood that we would have seen him in that area and he would have
been found at Bob our cieariy suffer a heart attack fall into the Colorado River and drown
or was the entire episode a clever ruse enabling our Siri to escape his impending legal troubles I feel that Bob
our Siri is dead he was a family man out of this world and going in that River there's I just can't see any way he
could have got out of it Bob probably didn't even get his feet wet for all I know that guys were willing threw a rock
overboard no he's not dead it's my belief that knowing that he was looking at spending the rest of his life
behind bars resulted in making some hard choices and that was either facing them
or feigning his death and I believe he took the latter every indication I have is that he he did not drowned and he is
alive today [Music] [Music] [Music] join me next time perhaps you may be able to help solve a mystery
[Music] [Applause] [Music]
