- 0:00Speaker 1: Today, I'm going to share three stories that all have
- 0:02Speaker 1: a haunting picture or video that is associated with them.
- 0:06Speaker 1: But before we get into those stories, if you're a

- 0:29Speaker 1: let's get into today's stories. On the evening of December
- 0:47Speaker 1: twenty ninth, nineteen eighty six, a California Highway Patrol officer
- 0:51Speaker 1: named Craig Pyre drovis cruiser down Interstate fifteen in San Diego, California.
- 0:56Speaker 1: With him was an NBC News reporter in the backseat,
- 0:59Speaker 1: and there was a cameraman in the passenger seat. They
- 1:01Speaker 1: were filming a segment about highway travel safety that was
- 1:04Speaker 1: set to air on the evening news 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 the 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 1: 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. He put the gas into his car, but
- 3:46Speaker 1: his car still wouldn't start. Now at this point, Officer
- 3:49Speaker 1: Pyre is realizing that this driver is doing basically exactly
- 3:53Speaker 1: what he shouldn't be doing according to the safety tips
- 3:56Speaker 1: Officer Pyre had given, and so on camera he basically
- 3:59Speaker 1: says to this guy, do you understand how dangerous it
- 4:02Speaker 1: is to have left your car like that and walked
- 4:04Speaker 1: alone on this highway? You know, do you understand what
- 4:07Speaker 1: a hazard that is? And the driver just kind of
- 4:09Speaker 1: looked at him and shrugged like, yeah, I guess. So
- 4:12Speaker 1: after that, Officer Pyre called the man a tow truck.
- 4:15Speaker 1: His car was towed and the man was on his way,
- 4:17Speaker 1: and Officer Pyre got back into the cruiser with the
- 4:19Speaker 1: news crew and they carried on. After that, Officer Pyre
- 4:22Speaker 1: and the news crew wrapped up filming, and then after
- 4:25Speaker 1: he dropped them back off again, they told him what
- 4:27Speaker 1: time to expect his segment to air on NBC that night,
- 4:30Speaker 1: and sure enough, that evening, Officer Pyre was in front
- 4:33Speaker 1: of the TV as the broadcast started, and when Officer
- 4:36Speaker 1: Pyre's actual segment aired on TV, to him and to
- 4:40Speaker 1: the California Highway Patrol, it went great. It was a
- 4:43Speaker 1: minute and a half long. It sort of hit all
- 4:45Speaker 1: the high points. It showed Officer Pyre, you know, talking
- 4:48Speaker 1: about how to be safe on the highway and talking
- 4:50Speaker 1: to the stranded motorists. You know. It kind of did
- 4:53Speaker 1: exactly what they expected it to do. And when it
- 4:56Speaker 1: was over, Officer Pyre clicked off the TV and didn't
- 4:58Speaker 1: think much about it because it was not a big deal.
- 5:01Speaker 1: It was just a basic safety video and for the
- 5:03Speaker 1: vast majority of other people who watched this clip live
- 5:06Speaker 1: on TV. It really didn't stand out to them. Again,
- 5:10Speaker 1: it was just kind of a routine police safety video.
- 5:13Speaker 1: But there were a few people when they watched this
- 5:16Speaker 1: clip that noticed something something very specific, and within an
- 5:20Speaker 1: hour of this clip airing on TV, those few people
- 5:24Speaker 1: were calling the police in droves to tell them, we
- 5:27Speaker 1: know what happened to Kara Nott. And the police would
- 5:30Speaker 1: follow up on these tips, and sure enough, just over
- 5:33Speaker 1: two weeks later, they had gathered enough evidence that they
- 5:36Speaker 1: were able to arrest Karennot's killer. It would turn out
- 5:40Speaker 1: all the clues the police needed to solve the karennat
- 5:42Speaker 1: murder case were right there in that one and a
- 5:45Speaker 1: half minute long video, because what happened to Kara had
- 5:49Speaker 1: almost happened to over two dozen other women in San Diego,
- 5:53Speaker 1: and those young women were the ones who saw the
- 5:56Speaker 1: news segment when it happened live, and they noticed this
- 5:59Speaker 1: particular deal detail that clearly telegraphed who Kara's killer was.
- 6:04Speaker 1: They were the ones who called police. On the night
- 6:06Speaker 1: of Kara's murder December twenty seventh, nineteen eighty six, she
- 6:09Speaker 1: pulled off Interstate fifteen on the Mercy Road exit and
- 6:12Speaker 1: she came to a stop in that cul de sac.
- 6:14Speaker 1: Now we don't know exactly why she came to a
- 6:16Speaker 1: stop in there, but either way, she was there and
- 6:19Speaker 1: that's where she encountered her killer. Now, the other two
- 6:22Speaker 1: dozen women who encountered the same person, the killer, they
- 6:25Speaker 1: were terrorized and kind of tortured and held hostage for
- 6:28Speaker 1: a couple of hours, but eventually were let go. But
- 6:31Speaker 1: Kara wasn't. During her encounter, at some point, the killer
- 6:35Speaker 1: clubbed her over the head and then strangled her to
- 6:37Speaker 1: death with a rope. Now, the killer at first had
- 6:40Speaker 1: gotten away with this until they were featured on that
- 6:44Speaker 1: minute and a half long video, and some of those
- 6:46Speaker 1: women who had survived their attack, they're watching the segment
- 6:50Speaker 1: and suddenly their attacker is on TV. Now, they had
- 6:53Speaker 1: previously reported their attack to police, but to this point
- 6:56Speaker 1: nothing had been done, and now they're staring at four
- 6:59Speaker 1: shows or the person who attacked them, who's right on
- 7:02Speaker 1: TV and critically as part of this segment, they're hearing
- 7:05Speaker 1: about how this other young woman had been attacked and
- 7:08Speaker 1: killed on this highway and they're thinking, oh, this person
- 7:12Speaker 1: did that to me. I barely got away. I bet
- 7:14Speaker 1: they killed this girl. And on top of that, as
- 7:17Speaker 1: they're watching the news staring at their attacker, they can
- 7:20Speaker 1: see there's a fresh cut over their eye. And so
- 7:24Speaker 1: put that all together and they thought, boom, that's the
- 7:26Speaker 1: person who killed Karen OTTs. And sure enough, the police
- 7:30Speaker 1: would follow up on these tips and they would confirm
- 7:33Speaker 1: that the man in the video with the cut over
- 7:35Speaker 1: his eyebrow was Kara's killer, and Kara's killer was none
- 7:40Speaker 1: other than Officer Craig Pyre. Officer Pyr was found guilty
- 7:44Speaker 1: of murder and sentenced to twenty five years to life
- 7:46Speaker 1: in prison. Since being incarcerated, he has gone up for
- 7:49Speaker 1: parole two separate times and been rejected both times. However,
- 7:54Speaker 1: he is up for parole again in twenty twenty seven.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Thank you to Betterhelp for sponsoring today's video. This time
- 8:04Speaker 1: of year, right after the holidays and the new year,
- 8:06Speaker 1: can be pretty difficult. I mean, you just had all
- 8:09Speaker 1: your family time and vacation time and downtime, and now
- 8:12Speaker 1: you get a transition back to sort of like real
- 8:14Speaker 1: adult life, and that can be hard. It's not out
- 8:16Speaker 1: of the ordinary during this time of transition to feel
- 8:19Speaker 1: kind of sad and lonely and even depressed. A therapist
- 8:23Speaker 1: can really help you deal with that, not only the
- 8:25Speaker 1: immediate problem, which is the actual sadness and depression from
- 8:29Speaker 1: the transitional period, but also they can help work with
- 8:32Speaker 1: you to develop strategies for how to combat future issues,
- 8:36Speaker 1: future transitional problems, whatever they are. And a great therapy

- 9:34Speaker 1: seventy nine, a fifty two year old tour guide named
- 9:37Speaker 1: Peter Mulgrew stood at the front of the cabin of
- 9:39Speaker 1: Air New Zealand flight TE nine zero one. Out the
- 9:43Speaker 1: window next to him, he looked out and he saw
- 9:45Speaker 1: this vast white landscape reflecting the afternoon sun. And so
- 9:49Speaker 1: he grabbed the microphone and announced to the two hundred
- 9:52Speaker 1: and thirty seven passengers that they were now flying over Antarctica.
- 9:56Speaker 1: The passengers got really excited and immediately pulled out their
- 9:59Speaker 1: cameras and began snapping photos left and right. And as
- 10:02Speaker 1: you 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. That was the whole thing. It was just
- 10:35Speaker 1: a chance 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: So all the passes they immediately get up and shift
- 11:01Speaker 1: over to the left side of the plane and they
- 11:03Speaker 1: pressed their cameras up against the glass. 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? What was that? And as this kind
- 13:14Speaker 1: of pandemonium is ensuing, their lead dance instructor came running
- 13:18Speaker 1: into the cabin and told the girls that she thought
- 13:20Speaker 1: one of the cabin's heaters had exploded and that potentially
- 13:24Speaker 1: there could be a fire somewhere on the camp. And
- 13:26Speaker 1: so all the girls they're already totally panicked. Now they're
- 13:29Speaker 1: getting really scared, and the instructor is just like, all right, girls,
- 13:31Speaker 1: go outside, stand by the river. I'm gonna go find
- 13:34Speaker 1: wherever this explosion happened and make sure everything is okay.
- 13:36Speaker 1: And so the girls. They were let outside totally a mess,
- 13:39Speaker 1: and they went and stood by this river near the
- 13:41Speaker 1: cabin and waited for their instructor to go look around.
- 13:44Speaker 1: And so Barbara and the nine other girls, they're totally terrified,
- 13:46Speaker 1: and they're standing by this river bank and they're they're
- 13:48Speaker 1: kind of looking around the property seeing if they can
- 13:51Speaker 1: see smoke or fire, but they can't. And as they're
- 13:54Speaker 1: standing there waiting for their instructor to come back, Barbara
- 13:57Speaker 1: felt something hit the tip of her nose and it
- 13:59Speaker 1: was cold and oft, and she looked up and she
- 14:02Speaker 1: realized it was snowing. But it's July in New Mexico,
- 14:06Speaker 1: it should not be snowing. But sure enough, snow was
- 14:09Speaker 1: coming down from the sky. And as the snow came
- 14:11Speaker 1: down on Barbara, she looked at the other girls, and
- 14:14Speaker 1: they too were looking up and putting their hands up
- 14:16Speaker 1: and letting the snow hit them in the face. They
- 14:18Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. I mean, this was like a totally
- 14:20Speaker 1: rare weather event. And so a minute later, their dance
- 14:22Speaker 1: instructor came back and told the girls that, you know,
- 14:25Speaker 1: she looked all over the camp and there did not
- 14:27Speaker 1: appear to be a fire or an explosion of any kind,
- 14:30Speaker 1: that everything seemed fine. You know, they didn't know what
- 14:32Speaker 1: that loud sound was, but you know, by all accounts,
- 14:35Speaker 1: it seems safe here. And so the girls were very
- 14:37Speaker 1: relieved to hear this, but already their attention had completely
- 14:40Speaker 1: shifted to the snow. I mean again, it's July in
- 14:43Speaker 1: New Mexico. There shouldn't be snow. And so the girls
- 14:46Speaker 1: they turned to their instructor and they're like, okay, well,
- 14:48Speaker 1: you know, now that it's safe, would'll be okay if
- 14:50Speaker 1: we put on our bathing suits and just went swimming
- 14:52Speaker 1: in the river while it snowed on us. I mean,
- 14:54Speaker 1: this is incredible. And the instructor, who to this point
- 14:57Speaker 1: had really been focused on finding the fire and the
- 15:00Speaker 1: hazard or whatever, you know, now that she knew things
- 15:02Speaker 1: were safe, she kind of took in the scene and
- 15:05Speaker 1: also suddenly appreciated how unbelievable it was that there was
- 15:08Speaker 1: snow coming down, and so she told the girls, yeah,
- 15:11Speaker 1: get your bathing suits, go swimming, enjoy this. This is
- 15:13Speaker 1: totally like a once in a lifetime moment here, and
- 15:15Speaker 1: so very excitedly, Barbara and the other girls ran back
- 15:18Speaker 1: into the cabin. They changed into their swimwear, and then
- 15:21Speaker 1: a moment later they were out frolicking in the river
- 15:23Speaker 1: as the snow fell on top of them. And for
- 15:26Speaker 1: hours they just 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 and admitted the truth. It would
- 16:39Speaker 1: turn out Barbara's dance instructor was correct in thinking there
- 16:42Speaker 1: had been an explosion on July sixteenth, nineteen forty five,
- 16:45Speaker 1: but of course it was not any of the cabin's
- 16:47Speaker 1: heaters or anything local to the cabin or the camp. Instead,
- 16:51Speaker 1: the explosion occurred forty miles away at a US government
- 16:54Speaker 1: testing site in the middle of the New Mexico Desert,
- 16:57Speaker 1: and the explosion that literally caused the girls to be
- 17:00Speaker 1: dumped out of their beds was from the world's first
- 17:03Speaker 1: ever atomic bomb being dropped. It was the Manhattan Project's
- 17:07Speaker 1: Trinity Test, a test that no civilians in the area
- 17:11Speaker 1: had been warned about, and so after this bomb detonated,
- 17:14Speaker 1: there was this nuclear fallout that rained from the sky
- 17:17Speaker 1: on half a million people that lived within one hundred
- 17:21Speaker 1: and fifty mile radius of the detonation site. And within
- 17:23Speaker 1: those half a million people were those ten innocent teenage
- 17:26Speaker 1: girls at their dance camp. The snow that the girls
- 17:30Speaker 1: played in was actually radioactive material from this nuclear fallout
- 17:34Speaker 1: raining down from the sky that over the course of
- 17:36Speaker 1: seventeen years, would give nine of the girls various forms
- 17:40Speaker 1: of cancer that would kill them. Here is the picture
- 17:43Speaker 1: that the dance instructor took of Barbara posing in the
- 17:45Speaker 1: middle of the river as the snow is falling all
- 17:48Speaker 1: around her. As you can see, Barbara is smiling and
- 17:51Speaker 1: looking up at the snow, not realizing it's literally going
- 17:54Speaker 1: to kill almost everyone in that picture. As for Barbara,
- 17:57Speaker 1: she did not die young. However, she would soft from
- 18:00Speaker 1: multiple cancers and illnesses all associated with radiation exposure. In
- 18:09Speaker 1: case you didn't know, we just celebrated Valentine's Day, our
