tonight on unsolved mysteries she was beautiful charming and she loved horses but even
though Shelley Malone was an expert writer eyewitnesses claims she died in a freak riding accident Shelley's family
thinks the truth is very very different in Indiana a sudden Thunderstone spells trouble for an unsuspecting motorcyclist
tragedy seems inevitable until a mysterious lady in black appears from out of nowhere it was the night Senator
Robert Kennedy was assassinated a crime which many believe is still unsolved a young photographer named Scott Enya
claims he was taking pictures at the exact moment of the shooting now those pictures have inexplicably
disappeared September 1994 a lone gunman lurks in the woods outside Anderson Missouri his target an off-duty Highway
Patrol officer is a parent objective vigilante justice join me perhaps you may be able to help
solve a mystery [Music] I would hope I would hope now that the California primer
jun 15 60th these primaries over Senator Robert F Kennedy addresses hundreds of supporters gathered to celebrate his
victory in the California State primary my thanks to all of you and now it's on to Chicago and let's win there within 20
minutes the Senators triumph would be swept away in a hail of gunfire the accused assassin was a young
Palestinian national named Sirhan Sirhan [Music] the years since had been marked by
heated controversy many people question whether Sirhan acted alone whether a second gunman was involved the debate
has been fueled by the belief that there was no visual record of the precise moment the senator was gunned down now
that assumption has been shattered there's no film of it there's no videotape of it there is an audio
recording from a radio reporter and there are my black-and-white photographs and that's it
Scott inn-yard says this is a photograph of him taken in the pantry of the Ambassador Hotel Scott claims that if
the instant senator Kennedy was shot he was taking pictures or as most puzzling a bus gotten yards a
remarkable story that no one can find the bulk of his photographs or any of the negatives any art claims he shot
three rolls of film that night the authorities however maintained the two of those rolls never existed when
Senator Kennedy gave his victory speech fifteen-year-old Scott in yarn was just a few feet from the stage shooting
photographs for his high school newspaper these are summer scott's pictures he took his first roller film
before kennedy mounted the podium Scott says he loaded a second roll just as a senator began to speak as a speech
concluded Scott says he joined those who followed Kennedy from the stage after leaving the bone senator Kennedy headed
down a coder which led to the pantry there he stopped to shake hands with the kitchen workers when he stopped I was
about 10 12 feet behind him there was an open wedge which had been made by the two people on either side of him so I
had a clear view of him it's at this point that I brought my camera up and started taking pictures suddenly
gunshots regular now I was behind Robert F Kennedy Sirhan Sirhan was in front of
Kennedy so I did not see Sirhan all I saw was Kennedy twist and fall I moved back and jumped up on a steam
table and I took some pictures over where the dog pile on Sirhan was taking place his hand was sticking out with the
gun in it but I couldn't really see what was taking place there because so many people that crowded in at that point a
few moments later Scott Ian York returned to the ballroom where pandemonium had broken out at that time
Scott says he loaded and clicked off his third roll of film I noticed two men in suits they were
looking at me rather strangely and I moved a few steps and they moved a few steps not knowing who's a terrorist
who's an assassin and who's the police I took off [Applause] [Music] they went through my pockets and took
all three rolls of the film they took camera of course and it's at that point I realized these are detectives and I'm
with the good guys at around 3 a.m. Scott was taken to rampart station in downtown Los Angeles well I'm not
exactly sure Scott was questioned for about 20 minutes this was an actual recording of
the interrogation so the table here about three 1/2 feet tall so I got up on it so I was above everyone and I and the
takers and then this shot started b5 I took pictures and kept taking pictures I shot for him for all the
shots with in fact maybe a little afterwards I'm not exactly sure I could tell I can only tell by the pictures
Scotland Yard had become a small part of history six months later Sirhan Sirhan was
sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Robert Kennedy a court order that all files from the case including
Scott's photographs be sealed for 20 years Scott waited by 1988 he was an established photographer Scott wrote to
the LAPD requesting that they return his film five months later Scott received a
letter from the California State Archives which stated that his photographs could not be found the
conclusion was that the pictures had been quote destroyed by LAPD in August 1968 Scott immediately filed a lawsuit
against the police this time he waited eight years top LAPD detectives who were assigned to work
with our attorneys in preparation for this lawsuit naturally if we could find what Scott was looking for we thought
that that would make the lawsuit go away and it was just some good detective work
and looking in places where people hadn't looked before that found up in Sacramento found that booked under a
different name was a was a sheet of negatives that had already been cut and put into
plastic sleeves a few weeks later the city attorneys presented Scot with a proof sheet made from those negatives
Scot immediately became suspicious the proof showed only one roll of film the stock was Ilford a SI 125 Scott claims
he shot three wrongs that were Triax a SI 400 manufactured by Kodak basically what I believe the police did was they
took roll number two which showed the speech and they used part of that in this proof sheet and then they use roll
number three which was once I returned to the ballroom afterward where you see the aftermath and some of the victims
and things and they just put them together as a proof sheet and expected that they could pass that office being
all the film that I shot that role is a continuous roll of film shows pictures before mr. Kennedy speaks pictures of
Robert F Kennedy speaking to the audience and then pictures of the aftermath of the shooting there are no
photographs in the pantry our position is that mr. Angier did not make it into the pantry and did not take photographs
inside the pantry then in 1991 a book came out that contained a number of previously
unpublished photographs this one was taken in the pantry a few moments after senator Kennedy was gunned down Scott
Ian Yard swears that he is the young man standing on a table with camera in hand
just as he told detectives on the night of his interrogation I don't know who that person is for sure
but we don't believe that that's Scott in here I I think it's just a coincidence that he you know says that
he was standing on a table and there's somebody standing on a table in the picture we don't think that's him Scott
in York continued to press his case against the LAPD in January of 1996 a City Attorney's Office hired a private
courier to transport the negatives in question from the archives in Sacramento to Los Angeles once there the courier
rented a car to drive from the airport to the downtown courthouse about 20 miles away
[Music] soon after leaving the airport the courier was forced to pull into a service station his right rear tire was
flat apparently slashed by a knife sometime during the next ten minutes the briefcase containing the negatives was
stolen I was with my attorneys when we when we learned this and we were just absolutely shocked I mean we were for
some reason we weren't surprised but we were just truly shocked I couldn't believe it happened it but if I was a
conspiracy theorist I'd say see there's further proof now we'll never know the entered photos if
he captured the actual shooting would be the only photographic record that we have if those any encana Diaz he was
falling it could be the whole case it could tell us everything we want to know about what happened
[Music] next in the aftermath of a violent storm a young man finds himself in desperate
need of a miracle and later but an experienced horsewoman dies in a freak riding accident
her family suspicions lead them to a stunning conclusion [Music] [Music] good fortune can quickly turn back
swiftest thunderclouds can sweep a summer sky no one knows this better than Robert Davidson 16 years ago in June of
1980 Davison was barreling down AI 74 near Acton Indiana as a rain storm whipped up around me
Davidson's luck suddenly changed for the worse when you're driving 60 65 mile an
hour on a motorcycle and raindrops hit you it's really pretty stinging it hurts and I thought I better
pull over and get my rain jacket out of the trunk I had one foot on the ground and that's the last thing I can remember
[Music] it was a direct hit more than 200,000 volts of electricity 38 year old Robert
Davison should have died right then and there yet Davison is still very much with us today at the age of 54 some say
his survival was just another shift in the winds of fortune nothing more than a stroke of luck
but others including Davis and himself called it a miracle personally delivered by a Messenger of God within minutes of
the lightning strike emergency crews were on the scene from the start it appeared their efforts would be in vain
clinically he should have been dead by the color of his skin and when we arrived there was no blood pressure no
pulse basically he had no chance at all according to several witnesses events at
the scene suddenly swerved towards a supernatural first every power circuit and the ambulance inexplicably failed
and the engine shut down the lights turned off and it was without power completely we got dual batteries one
battery would go down everyone take over and there's no way they could have both
gone down at the same time it was an eerie feeling I mean you could just it felt strange and as they were doing the
CPR you heard this woman coming up yelling I need to touch him I need to touch and just let me touch him nobody
knew her name or where she came from later they would refer to her reverently as the lady in black she just kept again
and again again you know I can save his life of course you know at that point in
time I kind of thought well maybe this is just one of the people so to speak left over from the 70s you know but I
said you don't let her do what she needs to do you know what can it hurt [Music]
she was dressed in the late 1800 dress your basic black dress very very old fashioned
she had the old-fashioned black shoes that went with it and carried her little black Bible then she raised the Bible to
the sky and started speaking in tongue which was something I didn't understand but I'm sure somebody out there did we
could just feel all the time that she was saying it's just chills from head to toe it was like just a tremendous amount
of energy [Music] when she was finished she looked at me smiled and got up walked away probably
five seconds had passed by in a turn to look the direction where she had left and there was nobody to be found
accounts from that day couldn't be more contradictory some eyewitnesses including two of the paramedics insist
that the mysterious woman was never there I don't know why they couldn't see her really because it was plain as day
to me as plain as day to Randy you know why couldn't anyone else see her or hear
her there is no doubt in my mind that she was there I believe there was a power they actually shut the vehicle
down a surge which just obliterated the vehicles power supply and shut it down when this woman walked by according to
those who saw the lady in black her departure triggered another chain of uncanny events first the ambulance came
back to life then I've got it I've got a pulse it almost bursts my eardrums but it was
a welcome to hear that first heartbeat and I yelled again I think everybody could have heard me down the interstate
because I was so happy that we was getting some vital signs [Music] Davison had a heartbeat but his life was
still hanging by a thread the ER physician was not optimistic my prognosis was that he would not come out
of his coma and I expected him to remain in permanent coma and ultimately suffer
complications and ultimately die for nearly two months Robert Davidson was more dead than alive then one day he
simply woke up and presumed his length when I came out of the coma I looked around and I couldn't figure out what I
was doing in the hospital because I had no memory of anything happening to me that would put me in the hospital when
it became apparent that he indeed woke up and not only woke up but was talking and walking it I was utterly amazed
Davidson's astounding recovery has prompted speculation that the woman in black was far more than a simple
passerby some believed her to be a divine spirit that rose up from Indiana's fervid religious past just
down the road from her Davison was struck by lightning lies this quiet meadow it is a site of a 19th century
spiritual retreat known as Acton campground more than a hundred years ago this spot rang out with fiery sermons
gospel hymns and the strange music of the faithful speaking in tongues [Music] most of Acton campground burned down in
1905 but a few artifacts castilho found at a local museum there among the relics
of a long vanished era is a vintage dress unmistakably reminiscent of the lady in black I believe that this woman
maybe had been asked her Reverend or a priestess or whatever in her life prior and when she passed on she was brought
in to I guess guardian angel form I know I witnessed a miracle there's just no other words to say it it was a miracle
many will argue that Robert Davidson's life was saved by quick treatment and a measure of good luck but others believe
just as firmly that the spirits of Acton campground were awakened that one of them came to Davidson's rescue I've
always kind of believed in angels that everybody has a guardian angel but most people will never get to see em or have
them really do anything for them I think my angel was doing her job that day coming up controversy rocks a
wealthy enclave in Virginia after a beautiful young woman dies under mysterious circumstances
but first Timothy Combs bills himself as a servant of God and a defender of freedom but the police say he's a
dangerous criminal perhaps capable of murder [Music] September 16th 1994 Anderson Missouri a
lone hunter cautiously makes his way through the woods stalking waiting for just the right moment to strike
but his prey is not what you would expect the target this night is a Missouri State Highway patrolman and the
hunter is not your everyday outdoorsman according to the police his name is Timothy Collins and he calls himself a
free man they exist on the farthest right fringe of the political spectrum they believe they are the true Americans
but others call them domestic terrorists the rallying cries are Waco Ruby Ridge and now justice Township in Montana the
freemen are a loose knit Brotherhood bound by what some say is a pathological mistrust of the United States government
mr. Thomas in late November of last year did a couple from Kansas City call on you at your home or place of business
what was the purpose of that visit this is a recreation of a so-called common law court most Freeman no longer
acknowledged the authority of our legal system and see common law courts as a way to circumvent the government what
was it the sheriff wanted to talk to you about he wanted to know if I had a tax ID number how long I've been working out
of my home and had I paid state sales tax state sales tax yes he wanted you to pay state sales tax on items that you
made in your own home that's right the common law courts now that are being formed or by citizens of the counties
and they are tired of being jerked around in the state courts and not having the rights protected within these
courts the common law courts are predicated upon freemen using their right to determine issues of law Robert
jokes the self-styled minister is asked to be filmed in silhouette due to his religious convictions
this is a photograph of Joe's taken in 1995 he is one of the area's leading advocates of the free man movement the
Freeman or super Patriots are patriots or Christian patriots believe that the Constitution is a divinely inspired
document along with the Bill of Rights that gives them preeminent rights in American society that they do not have
to do things like pay income taxes or have driver's licenses and so forth because that's all part of the laws that
were passed after the Constitution and the Bill of Rights they see these as man-made laws that don't apply to them
in the case of Robert Jo's that philosophy apparently led him to issue faked legal documents in 1985 he was
convicted of drafting a bogus court order in the case of a parishioner who'd been arrested for a minor traffic
offense for nine years jost laid low on his farm while he contested the conviction but in June of
1994 the new prosecuting attorney from McDonald County Missouri ordered the Highway Patrol to bring Jos in mr. Jose
has a history of resisting arrest and to avoid an armed confrontation on his property where he's believed to have a
large number of weapons decision was made to arrest him on a county road where he's by himself
jost drove right into a trap sergeant Steve Dorsey and corporal Bob Harper were waiting
[Applause] [Applause] I knew Jose from several years back and he had never calls me any problems by
some accounts this day would be different I walked up the van him screaming all think you're dealing with
someone that had a mental problem maybe screaming hollering and just Tony's hands up and saying who are you
who are you I knew if they were gonna kill me they were gonna kill me it wasn't anything I could do except pray
to God and that's what I was doing and I knew they had the rifle cause of arrest
and they and as it turns out they didn't have any that's why they had to make up
the story about resisting arrest and a concealed weapon after they arrest me so they had some reason to hold me Smith
Robert Joseph was taken to McDonald County Jail where he remains to this day a waiting trial unable to raise bail
according to the authorities his confinement precipitated the disturbing events that followed
[Music] three months after jos was captured one of the arresting officers corporal bob
harper was home celebrating his 33rd wedding anniversary [Music] I heard this loud shot and I ran up the
hallway and mob was laying next to the cabinet and he was trying to tell me that the candidate exploded and I
explained to him that he had been shot call the sheriff it was only by a miracle that Bob Harper survived the
bullet pierced his rib cage after missed his heart by just 1/16 of an inch the next day investigators clustered around
a grove of trees 245 feet from Harper's kitchen window it wasn't long before they found what they were looking for
looks like 70 warm 16 maybe Bob Harper was not known to have any enemies and because of his recent involvement in the
arrest of Robert Jos we felt that it was probably connected a few days later officers were dispatched to the Jos farm
to speak with Robert Josas girlfriend they were confronted by an armed strength we need to talk to Annie he
demanded that we stay where we were and he said that he would go get her we felt
uncomfortable staying there so we retreated to her patrol cars and about ten minutes later he returned and
started shouting at us and we subsequently had a about a 30-minute conversationally right here with the
citizens of kingdom oppressed we got our elders the man identified himself as James Wilson according to the police he
began to spot wild religious rhetoric unlike anything they had ever heard metallus you say that the state elders
are training people to carry out violent acts for violations against the church well sure we've got snipers right now
being trained by the state elders to to help us you know it's it's the law it says it in the Bible
it's God's law right here in Colossians 1:13 you can read about it for yourself how many
in that violent faction we didn't feel comfortable with what we had heard from him so the following morning calls were
made to Arkansas and we received a large amount of information about James Wilson
found out at that time that his real name was Timothy Combs Timothy Combs had served time in prison on various weapons
charges by the time police secured a search warrant for the Jos farm combs had vanished however investigators
did uncover an impressive arsenal pistols rifles and more than 40 sticks of dynamite that same day in Arkansas
Combs's next-door neighbor gave investigators a bullet that had struck his horses rear flank can you show me
the location of the shooter sure is my neighbor he's up this direction a man suspected it had been fired by cones who
often took target practice nearby you see the machine shed there and in the tree to the right he's about midway in
between back in that brush according to the authorities a thorough search of Combs's property turned up the
incriminating evidence shell casings that reportedly matched the casing found outside of Bob Harper's kitchen window
police suspect the trail leads not just to Timothy combs at the Robert Jo's we believe that there is collaboration
between Jos and Timothy combs we believe that the weapon used to see Bob Harper was actually an SKS rifle that had been
purchased by Robert Joseph at the Greeks prior to his arrest for resisting arrest
he will now not talk about that weapon Robert Joseph ain't Eanes that he had nothing to do with the attack on Bob
Harper yeah they're trying to claim I was involved in a conspiracy to shoot Harper I had nothing to do with it
didn't know anything about it until after it happened still don't know that he's actually shot I've never seen
medical evidence never heard doctor testified a man was shot far as I know he had another heart attack and I had to
crack his chest to emerge the open heart on him I mean from what I've experienced
with these cops here they'll lie about anything and everything to try to frame somebody and the people that are helping
to date only Timothy Combs has been charged in the shooting of Bob Harper Combs is now 37 years old
authorities believe he has gone underground and is probably being harbored by members of a right-wing
militia group there are people associated with this movement who are threats because they
see themselves as warriors basically against American society they see themselves as having a special status
that others are trying to they believe undercut and the problem with that is that one when this is increasing in
small communities in particular it's a very very very scary thing for local officials and others to have this
counter force there that's usually very well-armed and it's implicitly a threat but we were completing this story we
were saddened to learn that corporal Bob Harper had died during surgery for a pre-existing heart condition his
colleagues believe there could be no more fitting tribute to his memory than the capture of Timothy Combs
[Music] next witnesses say veteran rider Shelly Malone was trampled by her own mouth
however expert horseman said highly unlikely [Music] the plains virginia's thoroughbred
country the small wealthy community where both people and horses have been agrees it's not at all the kind of place
you would expect to find an unsolved mystery much less a mystery fueled by one family suspicions of foul play
Charlie Malone was 37 years old when she died on many levels her case is one of the most emotionally charged we have
ever profiled we have been unable to obtain interviews with the local police or the people who are with Shelley the
day she died consequently this story is told almost entirely from the point of view of
Shelley's family are the overreacting out of grief hypersensitive to every inconsistency or is it possible their
suspicions add up to a sinister truth [Music] October 18th 1992 paramedics were called
to a field in a wooded area outside the plains Shelley Malone an accomplished horse woman had been badly injured in a
riding accident as the paramedics struggled to safe shouting her boyfriend George Carhartt and two other friends
Erica stumble and Carter Wiley could only stand by helplessly and watch [Music] according to Erica the only witness to
the accident Shelley's horse has stepped on her and kicked her repeatedly one blow was apparently powerful enough to
rupture her heart however Shelley's family has always found Erica's account highly
questionable I know that that accident is most improbable if not impossible in an open field for a horse she loved and
loved her to step on her squarely in on the chest after he had thrown her off this is impossible
- Shirley's family has seemed particularly impossible for such an experienced writer Shelley had been
around horses since she was a young child Shelley was born loving horses when she was six or seven she told me
she was going to marry a horse when she grew up so she never ever lost her interest in horses
it was horses have brought Shelley to the plains area 1988 located an hour and a half from Washington DC the plains is
home to many of the country's rich and powerful including US Senator John Warner though her own roots were modest
Shelley gained entry to this elite Society thanks largely to a wealthy older benefactor named Cecil Altmann
Altmann said Shelley up in business and reportedly gave her an allowance of $5,000 a month
[Music] Shelley lived in a small house out in the country a perfect place to stable
her two horses in 1990 she started dating George Carhartt who lived in New York and reportedly came down frequently
to visit however Shelley's mother claims that after two years Shelley was ready to move on the relationship was strained
she had relayed to my husband and myself that she was bringing this relationship
to a close on Friday October 16th 1992 two days before she died Shelly allegedly had an impromptu
romantic encounter with a local attorney Shelly's family believes George Carhartt
found out about the affair when he came to visit that weekend on Sunday afternoon Shelly had plans to go riding
with Erica stumbled George Carhartt and Carter Wiley Erika's boyfriend stayed behind at the house Erica is issued only
one official statement on the day's events written document she prepared and delivered to the police you're about to
hear selected portions from that statement we alternately walked trotted and galloped the horses through several
fields and trails we were approximately 100 yards into a new field we had just entered we were walking the horses side
by side to cool them down unexpectedly both horses spooked or started I was thrown and fell off to the left of my
horse I was not seriously injured I cited Shelly about 30 feet away the horse stepped on her legs face and head
taking her head as he did so in an apparent attempt to get away as the horse moved away from her I immediately
ran to her Joey Joey I checked her pulse and looked in her mouth to see if there
were any obstructions I noticed her left cheek was turning purplish blue which I
assumed was the result of the horse stepping on her face I'll be back as soon as I can all right fearful of a
head injury as a result of seeing the horse kick her in the head I then concluded that the best thing to
do was try to seek medical help erica says she got lost trying to find help it would be an hour and a half before
paramedics reached Shelly it was George Carhartt later called Shelly's mother in
Florida when the phone rang he said jollies had an accident I expected him to say she slipped and
broke an arm or leg or something and I said what kind of an accident and he said she's dead Shelly's family claims
they got another shock at the morgue to them Shelly looked like she had been involved
in much more than a riding accident one of the clerks there showed us four Polaroid of my daughter's face it was so
bad and so swollen her eyes were black and blue that I didn't recognize her according to Shelly's family subsequent
events made them even more suspicious despite the fact that the coroner's ruling was accidental death
two days after Shelley's funeral her family claims they had an odd experience at her home
George Carhartt was one of those present there was a pickup truck backed up to the front porch and there was some large
pieces of my sister's furniture on there and they were moving stuff out and loading bags up with their clothes and
her belongings Shelley's mother claims that car horn made several insensitive comments and I countered with well i'm
priy torch and i don't understand that you're mean and he said all of her clothes will go to charity and I said we
have made no arrangements to do anything of the kind and as these black garbage bags were
going down the stairs with her belongings in them I was in pulling them back up the stairs and we were like
having a tug-of-war with these bags the next day George Carhartt took Shelly's family to the local dump to
retrieve the clothes she was wearing when she was killed they never found the clothes but they say they did discover
more than two dozen Julie boxes from Tiffany and Cartier all of them empty when we questioned George about where
the contents were he told us that she was Hawking her jewelry [Music] that explanation struck Shelly's family
as dubious at best but some find it credible particularly in light of questions relating to Shelly's past
including a drug conviction in 1979 and alleged ties to a savings and loan scandal in the 1980s Shelly's past
however does not explain the matter of her truck and the family brought the truck back to Florida they discovered
what they believed to be bloodstains a local detective was asked to test them I did a field test to tell whether or not
it was human blood and the field test was positive from the angle where the blood was on the passenger seat it
appears that it came from a head wound Shelly's family took the truck back to the plains and turned it over to the
authorities some routine blood tests were performed however the [ __ ] your County Sheriff's Office claimed they
didn't have the budget to do DNA comparisons Shelly's family has taken out newspaper ads written letters and
made numerous phone calls to local and state officials all for one purpose they want a full-fledged investigation an
investigation they believe or prove Shelly was murdered I can only think that an argument came about between
Shelly and George or Shelly and Carter Wiley I don't know which of the two I think wasn't a planned thing but I think
one of them struck her and killed her or felt that they had killed her or felt that they had named her in a very
serious way and I think the rest of the scenario that we've been told is simply that a scenario
John Strasburg a horse expert and editor of a chronicle of the horse feels it is
highly unlikely Shelley's horse would have behaved as Eric Istanbul described the element of the story that that
raises questions in my mind are a horse stepping on its rider in an open field it's hard to imagine a horse
intentionally or accidentally stepping on someone in that situation not impossible but very hard to mention I've
talked to medical men who say a man with a big fist could strike a girl laying 104 pounds and just with the force of
his hand sever that ventricle so that once that had happened and she was unconscious or dead what could they do
so you take the shoe off of the horse Ram it onto a 4x4 and then with all the force you have plant a hoof print over
the heart what happened to Shelley Malone the Sheriff's Department in Fauquier County
Virginia issued the following statement in response to our story quote MS Malone's death has been investigated and
reviewed by several agencies to include the Virginia State Police all conclude the death is accidental end quote
in addition the office of the chief medical examiner in Washington DC also ruled that the death was accidental
join me next time for another fascinating edition of unsolved mysteries [Music] [Music]
