- 0:27Speaker 2: Any of our weekly uploads. Okay, let's get into today's stories.
- 0:46Speaker 1: On the evening of December twenty ninth, nineteen eighty six,
- 0:49Speaker 1: a California Highway Patrol officer named Craig Pyre droves cruiser
- 0:53Speaker 1: down Interstate fifteen in San Diego, California.
- 0:56Speaker 2: With him was an.
- 0:57Speaker 1: NBC News reporter in the backseat, and there was a
- 1:00Speaker 1: cameraman in the passenger seat. They were filming a segment
- 1:02Speaker 1: about highway travel safety that was set to air on
- 1:05Speaker 1: the evening news.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Later that night.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Officer Pyre was following his typical patrol route, but after
- 1:10Speaker 1: a few minutes, they passed by a sign that said
- 1:12Speaker 1: Mercy Road, it was an exit, and at that point
- 1:15Speaker 1: Officer Pyre turned to the news team, pointed at Mercy
- 1:18Speaker 1: Road and said that's where they found the body. So
- 1:21Speaker 1: a little more than thirty six hours earlier, at around
- 1:24Speaker 1: four am the previous morning, a twenty year old college
- 1:27Speaker 1: student named Kara Not had been found strangled to death
- 1:30Speaker 1: in a creek right near the Mercy Road exit. Kara
- 1:33Speaker 1: had been on her way home from her boyfriend's house
- 1:35Speaker 1: when for whatever reason, you know, maybe car troubles or
- 1:38Speaker 1: maybe she was trying to help someone, but she wound
- 1:40Speaker 1: up in that cul de sac and then while she
- 1:43Speaker 1: was there, she clearly encountered someone dangerous who took her life.
- 1:46Speaker 1: And so this was actually why the California Highway Patrol
- 1:49Speaker 1: and NBC News were collaborating on this news segment because
- 1:52Speaker 1: Kara's killer was still not caught, and so the idea
- 1:55Speaker 1: behind this segment was basically to tell drivers along this highway,
- 1:59Speaker 1: like how to stay safe while they were out there,
- 2:02Speaker 1: especially if for whatever reason they had to stop somewhere
- 2:05Speaker 1: along the highway, like what to do in that situation.
- 2:07Speaker 1: And so as Officer Pyre passed by the Mercy Road
- 2:10Speaker 1: exit and continued down Interstate fifteen. He turned to the
- 2:13Speaker 1: news crew and as they filmed, he began talking about
- 2:16Speaker 1: the basics of highway travel safety. Specifically, he said, look,
- 2:20Speaker 1: one of the most hazardous things that can happen to you,
- 2:22Speaker 1: beyond an accident on the highway, is if you have
- 2:25Speaker 1: some sort of car trouble that forces you to stop
- 2:27Speaker 1: on the highway, Because once you stop, there's an inclination
- 2:30Speaker 1: for a lot of people to want to leave their vehicle.
- 2:33Speaker 2: But that's a very dangerous thing to do. Anything could happen.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Of being a female, you could be raped, robbed, if
- 2:41Speaker 1: you're a male, all the way to where you could
- 2:45Speaker 1: be killed. Officer Pyre also warned people not to get
- 2:49Speaker 1: into a stranger's car because there was a running theory
- 2:52Speaker 1: at this point that perhaps Kara had gotten into her
- 2:55Speaker 1: killer's car. As this particular segment was filmed, the one
- 2:59Speaker 1: you just watch, Officer Pyre was looking ahead and he
- 3:02Speaker 1: noticed there was a car pulled over on the shoulder
- 3:04Speaker 1: of the highway with its hazards on. So he turned
- 3:07Speaker 1: to the news crew and basically said, look, here's a
- 3:09Speaker 1: chance for us to actually show the people in real
- 3:12Speaker 1: time what to do in case your car breaks down
- 3:14Speaker 1: on the highway. So he pulled his cruiser over right
- 3:17Speaker 1: behind the stalled car. He got out and then gestured
- 3:19Speaker 1: for the news crew to come with him. Officer Pyre
- 3:22Speaker 1: walked over to the passenger side door of this car
- 3:24Speaker 1: and through the open window he asked the driver to
- 3:27Speaker 1: get out and talk to him. The driver did, and
- 3:29Speaker 1: as the camera rolled, Officer Pyre asked him to explain,
- 3:33Speaker 1: you know what's going on here? What happened to your car?
- 3:35Speaker 1: The driver said he had run out of gas and
- 3:37Speaker 1: then gotten stranded on the side of the road, and
- 3:39Speaker 1: then he had left his car and walked to a
- 3:41Speaker 1: gas station to get a gas can, came all the
- 3:43Speaker 1: way back.
- 3:44Speaker 2: He put the gas.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Into his car, but his car still wouldn't start. Now
- 3:48Speaker 1: at this point, Officer Pyre is realizing that this driver
- 3:52Speaker 1: is doing basically exactly what he shouldn't be doing according
- 3:55Speaker 1: to the safety tips Officer Pyre had given, and so
- 3:58Speaker 1: on camera he basically says to this guy, do you
- 4:01Speaker 1: understand how dangerous it is to have left your car
- 4:03Speaker 1: like that and walked alone on this highway? You know,
- 4:06Speaker 1: do you understand what a hazard that is? And the
- 4:08Speaker 1: driver just kind of looked at him and shrugged like, yeah,
- 4:11Speaker 1: I guess. So after that, Officer Pyre called the man
- 4:14Speaker 1: a tow truck. His car was towed and the man
- 4:16Speaker 1: was on his way, and Officer Pyre got back into
- 4:19Speaker 1: the cruiser with the news crew and they carried on.
- 4:21Speaker 1: After that, Officer Pyre and the news crew wrapped up filming,
- 4:24Speaker 1: and then after he dropped them back off again, they
- 4:26Speaker 1: told him what time to expect his segment to air
- 4:29Speaker 1: on NBC that night, and sure enough, that evening, Officer
- 4:32Speaker 1: Pyre was in front of the TV as the broadcast started,
- 4:35Speaker 1: and when Officer Pyre's actual segment aired on TV, to
- 4:39Speaker 1: him and to the California Highway Patrol, it went great.
- 4:43Speaker 1: It was a minute and a half long. It sort
- 4:45Speaker 1: of hit all the high points. It showed Officer Pyre,
- 4:47Speaker 1: you know, talking about how to be safe on the
- 4:49Speaker 1: highway and talking to the stranded motorists.
- 4:52Speaker 2: You know.
- 4:52Speaker 1: It kind of did exactly what they expected it to do.
- 4:55Speaker 1: And when it was over, Officer Pyre clicked off the
- 4:57Speaker 1: TV and didn't think much about it because it was
- 5:00Speaker 1: not a big deal. It was just a basic safety
- 5:02Speaker 1: video and for the vast majority of other people who
- 5:05Speaker 1: watched this clip live on TV. It really didn't stand
- 5:09Speaker 1: out to them. Again, it was just kind of a
- 5:11Speaker 1: routine police safety video. But there were a few people
- 5:15Speaker 1: when they watched this clip that noticed something something very specific,
- 5:19Speaker 1: and within an hour of this clip airing on TV,
- 5:22Speaker 1: those few people were calling the police in droves to
- 5:26Speaker 1: tell them, we know what happened to Kara Nott. And
- 5:29Speaker 1: the police would follow up on these tips, and sure enough,
- 5:32Speaker 1: just over two weeks later, they had gathered enough evidence
- 5:35Speaker 1: that they were able to arrest Karennot's killer. It would
- 5:39Speaker 1: turn out all the clues the police needed to solve
- 5:42Speaker 1: the Karennot murder case were right there in that one
- 5:45Speaker 1: and a half minute long video, because what happened to
- 5:48Speaker 1: Kara had almost happened to over two dozen other women
- 5:52Speaker 1: in San Diego. And those young women were the ones
- 5:55Speaker 1: who saw the news segment when it happened live, and
- 5:58Speaker 1: they noticed this particular deal detail that clearly telegraphed who
- 6:02Speaker 1: Kara's killer was.
- 6:04Speaker 2: They were the ones who called police.
- 6:06Speaker 1: On the night of Kara's murder December twenty seventh, nineteen
- 6:08Speaker 1: eighty six, she pulled off Interstate fifteen on the Mercy
- 6:11Speaker 1: Road exit and she came to a stop in that
- 6:13Speaker 1: cul de sac. Now we don't know exactly why she
- 6:16Speaker 1: came to a stop in there, but either way, she
- 6:18Speaker 1: was there and that's where she encountered her killer. Now,
- 6:21Speaker 1: the other two dozen women who encountered the same person,
- 6:24Speaker 1: the killer, they were terrorized and kind of tortured and
- 6:27Speaker 1: held hostage for a couple of hours, but eventually were
- 6:30Speaker 1: let go.
- 6:31Speaker 2: But Kara wasn't.
- 6:32Speaker 1: During her encounter, at some point, the killer clubbed her
- 6:35Speaker 1: over the head and then strangled her to death with
- 6:38Speaker 1: a rope. Now, the killer at first had gotten away
- 6:41Speaker 1: with this until they were featured on that minute and
- 6:44Speaker 1: a half long video, and some of those women who
- 6:47Speaker 1: had survived their attack, they're watching the segment and suddenly
- 6:50Speaker 1: their attacker is on TV. Now, they had previously reported
- 6:54Speaker 1: their attack to police, but to this point nothing had
- 6:57Speaker 1: been done, and now they're staring at four shows or
- 7:00Speaker 1: the person who attacked them, who's right on TV and
- 7:03Speaker 1: critically as part of this segment, they're hearing about how
- 7:06Speaker 1: this other young woman had been attacked and killed on
- 7:09Speaker 1: this highway and they're thinking, oh, this person did that
- 7:12Speaker 1: to me. I barely got away. I bet they killed
- 7:15Speaker 1: this girl. And on top of that, as they're watching
- 7:18Speaker 1: the news staring at their attacker, they can see there's
- 7:21Speaker 1: a fresh cut over their eye. And so put that
- 7:24Speaker 1: all together and they thought, boom, that's the person who
- 7:27Speaker 1: killed Karen OTTs. And sure enough, the police would follow
- 7:30Speaker 1: up on these tips and they would confirm that the
- 7:33Speaker 1: man in the video with the cut over his eyebrow
- 7:37Speaker 1: was Kara's killer, and Kara's killer was none other than
- 7:40Speaker 1: Officer Craig Pyre. Officer Pyr was found guilty of murder
- 7:44Speaker 1: and sentenced to twenty five years to life in prison.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Since being incarcerated, he has gone up for parole two
- 7:50Speaker 1: separate times and been rejected both times. However, he is
- 7:54Speaker 1: up for parole again in twenty twenty seven. Thank you
- 8:01Speaker 1: to Betterhelp for sponsoring today's video. This time of year,
- 8:05Speaker 1: right after the holidays and the new year, can be
- 8:07Speaker 1: pretty difficult.
- 8:08Speaker 2: I mean, you just had all your.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Family time and vacation time and downtime, and now you
- 8:12Speaker 1: get a transition back to sort of like real adult life,
- 8:15Speaker 1: and that can be hard. It's not out of the
- 8:17Speaker 1: ordinary during this time of transition to feel kind of
- 8:20Speaker 1: sad and lonely and even depressed. A therapist can really
- 8:23Speaker 1: help you deal with that, not only the immediate problem,
- 8:26Speaker 1: which is the actual sadness and depression from the transitional period,
- 8:30Speaker 1: but also they can help work with you to develop
- 8:33Speaker 1: strategies for how to combat future issues, future transitional problems,
- 8:37Speaker 1: whatever they are. And a great therapy option is Betterhelp.

- 9:21Speaker 2: First month of therapy.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Around one pm on November twenty eighth, nineteen seventy nine,
- 9:35Speaker 1: a fifty two year old tour guide named Peter Mulgrew
- 9:38Speaker 1: stood at the front of the cabin of Air New
- 9:40Speaker 1: Zealand flight TE nine zero one. Out the window next
- 9:43Speaker 1: to him, he looked out and he saw this fast
- 9:46Speaker 1: white landscape reflecting the afternoon sun, and so he grabbed
- 9:49Speaker 1: the microphone and announced to the two hundred and thirty
- 9:52Speaker 1: seven passengers that they were now flying over Antarctica. The
- 9:56Speaker 1: passengers got really excited and immediately pulled out their cameras
- 10:00Speaker 1: and began snapping photos left and right. And as you
- 10:02Speaker 1: can see from some of the photos that they took,
- 10:04Speaker 1: a lot of the passengers actually got up out of
- 10:07Speaker 1: their seats and moved around to get the best angle
- 10:10Speaker 1: of the ground down below. Now, on a normal commercial flight,
- 10:13Speaker 1: that behavior would not be okay. You can't just wander
- 10:16Speaker 1: all around the cabin. You need to basically stay seated.
- 10:19Speaker 1: But this was not a normal commercial flight. This was
- 10:22Speaker 1: a sight seeing flight. Air New Zealand regularly took off
- 10:26Speaker 1: from New Zealand and would fly people up over Antarctica
- 10:29Speaker 1: and their tour guide would point out a few landmarks
- 10:31Speaker 1: down below, and then that flight would land back in
- 10:34Speaker 1: New Zealand.
- 10:34Speaker 2: That was the whole thing. It was just a chance
- 10:36Speaker 2: to go out and see Antarctica and take photos.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Peter had been a tour guide for this flight many
- 10:41Speaker 1: times before, and so he knew what to expect. He
- 10:44Speaker 1: not only knew kind of how passengers react, but he
- 10:46Speaker 1: also knew exactly when to look out which side of
- 10:49Speaker 1: the plane to get the best view. And so after
- 10:51Speaker 1: a couple of minutes, he called out to the passengers, Hey,
- 10:54Speaker 1: if you look out the left side of the plane,
- 10:56Speaker 1: you'll get a great view of the coast of Antarctica.
- 10:59Speaker 1: And so all the pass they immediately get up and
- 11:01Speaker 1: shift over to the left side of the plane and
- 11:03Speaker 1: they pressed their cameras up against the glass.
- 11:04Speaker 2: They're taking photos.
- 11:06Speaker 1: And then a couple of minutes later, Peter called out
- 11:08Speaker 1: to the group again and said, okay, now look out
- 11:10Speaker 1: the right side where you'll see Mount Arabis, this huge,
- 11:13Speaker 1: stunning mountain. Now, Peter was accustomed to people gasping when
- 11:17Speaker 1: they saw this mountain because it was so beautiful, so enormous.
- 11:20Speaker 1: And as people piled up against the right side and
- 11:22Speaker 1: began taking photos, that's what he heard. People were gasping.
- 11:26Speaker 1: Then at the same time the plane suddenly jolted hard
- 11:30Speaker 1: and one of those passengers on the right side took
- 11:33Speaker 1: this photo. As you can see, there are black marks
- 11:37Speaker 1: on the window, and these black marks are believed to
- 11:39Speaker 1: be either engine oil or soot from Mount Arabis, because
- 11:43Speaker 1: Mount Arabis was not just some mountain. Mount Arabis was
- 11:46Speaker 1: an active volcano, and the flight path of TE nine
- 11:50Speaker 1: zero one was supposed to have them going safely around
- 11:53Speaker 1: Mount Arabis to get a nice full view of the volcano.
- 11:56Speaker 1: But mistakes were made and before the pilots could correct them,
- 12:00Speaker 1: the plane flew directly into the volcano, and so this
- 12:04Speaker 1: photo you're looking at almost certainly was taken literally at
- 12:08Speaker 1: the moment of impact, a crash that resulted in two
- 12:12Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven lives lost. The crash of flight
- 12:15Speaker 1: TE nine zero one was the worst aviation disaster in
- 12:18Speaker 1: New Zealand history, and as a result, Air New Zealand
- 12:22Speaker 1: no longer offers those sightseeing flights. At five point thirty
- 12:38Speaker 1: am on July sixteenth, nineteen forty five, a thirteen year
- 12:42Speaker 1: old girl named Barbara Kent was sleeping inside of a
- 12:44Speaker 1: cabin in Rudoso, New Mexico, where she was staying for
- 12:47Speaker 1: a sleepover summer dance camp, and as she slept, suddenly
- 12:51Speaker 1: there was this loud, booming sound that literally shook her
- 12:54Speaker 1: awake and actually caused her to fall out of her
- 12:56Speaker 1: bed onto the floor. Barbara sat up, feeling totally confused.
- 13:00Speaker 1: She looked around the cabin and she saw the nine
- 13:02Speaker 1: other girls that were also here for the sleepover camp.
- 13:05Speaker 1: They too were wide awake, and some of them also
- 13:07Speaker 1: had fallen under the floor. And so the girls they're
- 13:09Speaker 1: all freaking out. They're looking at each other like, what's
- 13:11Speaker 1: going on here?
- 13:12Speaker 2: What was that?
- 13:13Speaker 1: And as this kind of pandemonium is ensuing, their lead
- 13:17Speaker 1: dance instructor came running into the cabin and told the
- 13:19Speaker 1: girls that she thought one of the cabin's heaters had
- 13:22Speaker 1: exploded and that potentially there could be a fire somewhere
- 13:25Speaker 1: on the camp. And so all the girls they're already
- 13:27Speaker 1: totally panicked. Now they're getting really scared, and the instructor
- 13:30Speaker 1: is just like, all right, girls, go outside, stand by
- 13:32Speaker 1: the river. I'm gonna go find wherever this explosion happened
- 13:35Speaker 1: and make sure everything is okay.
- 13:36Speaker 2: And so the girls.
- 13:37Speaker 1: They were let outside totally a mess, and they went
- 13:39Speaker 1: and stood by this river near the cabin and waited
- 13:42Speaker 1: for their instructor to go look around. And so Barbara
- 13:44Speaker 1: and the nine other girls, they're totally terrified, and they're
- 13:47Speaker 1: standing by this river bank and they're they're kind of
- 13:49Speaker 1: looking around the property seeing if they can see smoke
- 13:51Speaker 1: or fire, but they can't. And as they're standing there
- 13:54Speaker 1: waiting for their instructor to come back, Barbara felt something
- 13:58Speaker 1: hit the tip of her nose and it was cold
- 13:59Speaker 1: and sot and she looked up and she realized it
- 14:03Speaker 1: was snowing. But it's July in New Mexico, it should
- 14:06Speaker 1: not be snowing. But sure enough, snow was coming down
- 14:09Speaker 1: from the sky. And as the snow came down on Barbara,
- 14:12Speaker 1: she looked at the other girls, and they too were
- 14:14Speaker 1: looking up and putting their hands up and letting the
- 14:17Speaker 1: snow hit them in the face. They couldn't believe it.
- 14:19Speaker 1: I mean, this was like a totally rare weather event.
- 14:21Speaker 1: And so a minute later, their dance instructor came back
- 14:24Speaker 1: and told the girls that, you know, she looked all
- 14:26Speaker 1: over the camp and there did not appear to be
- 14:28Speaker 1: a fire. Or an explosion of any kind, that everything
- 14:31Speaker 1: seemed fine. You know, they didn't know what that loud
- 14:33Speaker 1: sound was, but you know, by all accounts, it seems
- 14:35Speaker 1: safe here. And so the girls were very relieved to
- 14:37Speaker 1: hear this, but already their attention had completely shifted to
- 14:41Speaker 1: the snow. I mean, again, it's July in New Mexico.
- 14:44Speaker 1: There shouldn't be snow. And so the girls they turned
- 14:46Speaker 1: to their instructor and they're like, okay, well, you know,
- 14:48Speaker 1: now that it's safe, it'll be okay if we put
- 14:51Speaker 1: on our bathing suits.
- 14:52Speaker 2: And just went swimming in the river while it snowed
- 14:54Speaker 2: on us. I mean, this is incredible.
- 14:55Speaker 1: And the instructor, who to this point had really been
- 14:57Speaker 1: focused on finding the fire and the hazard or whatever,
- 15:01Speaker 1: you know, now that she knew things were safe, she
- 15:03Speaker 1: kind of took in the scene and also suddenly appreciated
- 15:06Speaker 1: how unbelievable it was that there was snow coming down,
- 15:09Speaker 1: and so she told the girls, yeah, get your bathing suits,
- 15:12Speaker 1: go swimming, enjoy this. This is totally like a once
- 15:14Speaker 1: in a lifetime moment here, and so very excitedly, Barbara
- 15:17Speaker 1: and the other girls ran back into the cabin. They
- 15:19Speaker 1: changed into their swimwear, and then a moment later they
- 15:22Speaker 1: were out frolicking in the river as the snow.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Fell on top of them. And for hours they just
- 15:26Speaker 2: played in the river and enjoyed the snow.
- 15:29Speaker 1: And the snow was kind of building up on the
- 15:31Speaker 1: river banks, and so some of the girls went over
- 15:33Speaker 1: and scooped it up and rubbed it on their faces
- 15:35Speaker 1: and you know, made snowballs, and they just had a
- 15:37Speaker 1: great time. And at one point the dance instructor came
- 15:39Speaker 1: by and actually took a picture of Barbara, who was
- 15:41Speaker 1: right in the middle of the river enjoying this bizarre scene.
- 15:45Speaker 1: But eventually, despite how fun the snow was, the novelty
- 15:48Speaker 1: of it all sort of wore off, and the girls
- 15:50Speaker 1: got tired of swimming, so they changed into their regular
- 15:53Speaker 1: clothes and went about their day, and over the course
- 15:55Speaker 1: of the next few days, summer camp went as normal.
- 15:58Speaker 1: The girls had a great time. When summer camp ended,
- 16:01Speaker 1: all the girls went home. Now the girls never got
- 16:03Speaker 1: an explanation for why it had snowed. They all just
- 16:06Speaker 1: assumed it was some super rare weather event that they
- 16:08Speaker 1: had been lucky enough to experience. Until seventeen years later,
- 16:12Speaker 1: when Barbara was thirty years old at this point, and
- 16:15Speaker 1: she learned that all the other girls she had gone
- 16:17Speaker 1: to the dance camp with had died one by one.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Each of those girls were diagnosed with aggressive forms of
- 16:23Speaker 1: cancer that killed them. Barbara was the only one who
- 16:26Speaker 1: was spared, and she wouldn't get any clarification as to
- 16:29Speaker 1: why that had happened until decades later, in two thousand
- 16:33Speaker 1: and six, when Barbara was in her seventies, when the
- 16:35Speaker 1: government finally came out.
- 16:37Speaker 2: And admitted the truth.
- 16:38Speaker 1: It would turn out Barbara's dance instructor was correct in
- 16:41Speaker 1: thinking there had been an explosion on July sixteenth, nineteen
- 16:44Speaker 1: forty five, but of course it was not any of
- 16:47Speaker 1: the cabin's heaters or anything local to the cabin or
- 16:49Speaker 1: the camp. Instead, the explosion occurred forty miles away at
- 16:53Speaker 1: a US government testing site in the middle of the
- 16:56Speaker 1: New Mexico Desert, and the explosion that literally caused the
- 16:59Speaker 1: girls to be dumped out of their beds was from
- 17:02Speaker 1: the world's first ever atomic bomb being dropped. It was
- 17:06Speaker 1: the Manhattan Project's Trinity Test, a test that no civilians
- 17:10Speaker 1: in the area had been warned about, and so after
- 17:13Speaker 1: this bomb detonated, there was this nuclear fallout that rained
- 17:16Speaker 1: from the sky on half a million people that lived
- 17:20Speaker 1: within one hundred and fifty mile radius of the detonation site.
- 17:23Speaker 1: And within those half a million people were those ten
- 17:25Speaker 1: innocent teenage girls at their dance camp. The snow that
- 17:29Speaker 1: the girls played in was actually radioactive material from this
- 17:33Speaker 1: nuclear fallout raining down from the sky that over the
- 17:36Speaker 1: course of seventeen years, would give nine of the girls
- 17:39Speaker 1: various forms of cancer that would kill them. Here is
- 17:42Speaker 1: the picture that the dance instructor took of Barbara posing
- 17:45Speaker 1: in the middle of the river as the snow is
- 17:47Speaker 1: falling all around her. As you can see, Barbara is
- 17:50Speaker 1: smiling and looking up at the snow, not realizing it's
- 17:53Speaker 1: literally going to kill almost everyone in that picture. As
- 17:57Speaker 1: for Barbara, she did not die young. However, she would
- 17:59Speaker 1: suffer from multiple cancers and illnesses all associated with radiation exposure.
