This program is about unsolved mysteries. Whenever possible, the actual family members and police officials have participated in recreating the events. What you're about to see is not a news broadcast.
In a rural area of Canada, a woman claimed to see unusual red flames and an extraordinary flying object landing in a field behind her house. Six months later, this remarkable videotape, broadcast tonight for the first time on network television, seemed to verify her account. Could it be evidence of a close encounter or a clever, sophisticated hoax?
After Geraldine George separated from her husband Larry, she had no idea that he was watching her every move. Finally, Larry George erupted in a jealous rage, shot Geraldine, and left two innocent people murdered in his wake.
In September of 1992, this mysterious young woman showed up in a small California community. She has no identification and can neither speak nor hear. Perhaps you know who she is and where she came from.
Also a poignant heartwarming update. While watching a recent broadcast, one of our viewers was surprised to discover that he was the subject of an intense 30-year search by his long-lost sister. We'll share their remarkable reunion, tonight's unsolved mysteries.
We're at this greasy spoon to make a point about greasy stains and whisk power scoop. Greasy stains can be the worst kind of stains. Stains like this and this. Ordinary detergent action barely budges tough grease, but whisk power scoop doesn't work like ordinary detergent.
It's organically powered to release the grease like that, to clean your whole wash like this and this. So when it comes to grease, you're either whisked or without.

The Canadian township of West Carlton lies 40 miles north of the Canadian-United States border in the province of Ontario.
Life in West Carlton is usually unremarkable, but late in 1991, one resident had an extraordinary experience.
On August 18th at around 10 p.m., Diane Labinec could just put her children to bed.
Her husband was out running an errand when the dogs began to howl.
And I walked right to the window and I saw flames right on the back of the field.
Extremely red flames and lots of smoke.
It didn't look like a fire.
I know what a fire looks like when you start a fire out there and the grass was very dry.
So if you start a fire, you will see it moving whether this way or closer to the woods.
The fire was standing on one spot only.
I saw a ship coming down close to the flames.
Right on top of the ship, I saw a blue flashing light.
And another light was on the bottom, very bright.
I didn't know what to do.
I was looking at it for about 10 minutes or so.
And then the ship went a little bit back over the trees and it disappeared.
I saw all the flames turn out at the same time.
I don't think I'd like to see it again.
It's very scary.
I've lived here for many, many years and I have never been so scared in my life.
It did enter my mind to phone the police.
When this was all over, I came to the telephone, but I said, what am I going to tell them?
I'm going to tell them I have seen flares out there at 10 o'clock or past 10 o'clock at night
and there was a ship up there who was going to say, okay, Diane, that's fine.
We're coming over.
So that's why I didn't call.
According to Lappenac, 10 minutes after the mysterious lights abruptly blinked out,
a helicopter appeared just as unexpectedly.
The unmarked craft flew low to the ground over the field where the unexplained lights had appeared.
After crisscrossing the area, it flew over Diane's house and rushed off into the night.
At the crack of dawn, Diane Lappenac ran out to the empty fields which surround her house,
searching for evidence of the previous night's events.
I searched everything.
There was no marks.
There was no spots.
There was no matches.
There was just nothing.
The only person I told was my mom and my husband.
It kind of bothered me inside for a long, long time not to come up forward and say it to anybody.
But when I went out on the field and I could not find anything,
who was going to believe me that this really happened?
So I kept it to myself.
The 1991 sighting was the second unusual event Diane Lappenac had witnessed in West Carleton.
In 1989, she was one of several residents who observed a sudden explosion of extraordinarily brilliant light over a nearby swamp.
Lappenac might have remained silent about the 1991 episode if not for this controversial videotape,
which seems to verify her account.
The tape was mailed to the office of a UFO researcher,
and tonight it will be shown for the first time ever on national television.
In February of 1992, six months after Lappenac's sighting,
a package from Canada arrived at the Edgewater, Maryland office of Bob Exler.
A former NASA mission specialist, Exler is now a well-known UFO researcher.
The package had no return address.
Inside were documents, pictures, a map, and the videotape, all pertaining to the 1991 incident at West Carleton.
Most unusual, there seemed to be somewhat of a symbol with regard to the videotape on the label was the name Guardian,
and it was accompanied by a fingerprint.
Guardian to me was an enigma, certainly nothing I had heard about in the UFO literature.
So it was a mystery starting from scratch.
At the time, Exler was unaware of Lappenac's sighting,
but he would later find that the video depicted what she has reported with stunning accuracy.
The tape showed a cluster of brightly burning red flames similar to flares.
To the right hovered a dark, disc-like object emitting a bright glow from its underside.
The object was kept by a rapidly strobing blue light.
It is among the most convincing documentations of a UFO Exler had seen in his 12 years of research.
If it was clearly a disc-looking shape, we could resolve that because the flashing light on top would reflect off of the curved surface of the disc.
I got a sense initially that this was a real event occurring in a field as opposed to some prop set up in a room somewhere.
It had such an extraordinary amount of luminosity characteristic to it that I kind of had a sense I might be dealing with something that was potentially authentic here.
The map set with the videotape shows the area of West Carlton, Canada as a location where the tape had been made.
Extra-wet to West Carlton along with UFO researcher Graham Lightfoot.
Diane, can you tell us exactly what you saw that night?
Together they interviewed Diane Labinec, whom Lightfoot had met when he investigated her 1989 sighting.
Yes, I seen a bright light.
What time of the day was this? This was at night?
Yes, it was at night. I would say about 10 o'clock.
To their surprise, Labinec described exactly what the two researchers had seen on Guardian's videotape.
When we talked to Diane about the sighting, asked her had she seen anything, her description was so vivid that it's something I didn't think she could have made up.
She had not seen a tape, she had no idea what we knew, and yet she was able to describe things that we already knew from the tape.
And when he showed me the tape, it was exactly what I had seen.
And it was still scary for me, but at least I had something to go by, something that now I can tell the people because now I have a little bit more evidence.
As one of the clearest videos I've seen that show a structured object, Dr. Bruce McAbee, a U.S. Navy physicist and photoanalyst, has studied UFOs for years.
Here's the beacon light, blue light evidently, a reflection down here on the body of the craft, the outline of the object itself that you can see, some sort of dark lines that appear,
some brightness structure indicating something generating light that's hanging down below the object that's generating green light as well as blue light.
Probably there is other structure in there which, however, the glare from this bright light is blurring out.
Dr. McAbee, who believes the tape is not a hoax, was particularly intrigued by the bright strobing light.
Now, first of all, it's an unusual one because it's blue and it's very fast. It was running about seven cycles per second.
This is much faster than ordinary flashing beacons on aircraft, for example, that typically run about one flash per second or maybe two flashes per second.
The section of the video which shows the object just sort of appearing over a rise is quite convincing to me as would be what you would expect if somebody were in the field trying to get closer to it
and not knowing how close he could get. And so he turns on his camera while he's walking.
He knows he's going to come up over a rise and see it and you can see in the video farther and farther down until you see the whole device.
Suddenly the light coming towards him gets brighter and brighter. You get a great big diffuse reflection or image in the camera which suggests to me that this object shined a beam, a blue beam right at him.
Dr. McAbee estimated the unknown object to be 20 to 30 feet in diameter. According to Exler, the object's apparent size argues against it being a hoax.
It appeared to be so large that it would not be logical to try to set all this up at night under darkness.
There would have been evidence during the day of movement of generators of somebody hauling cables, maybe a big apparatus or something that they would have had to bring in there for that night.
Clearly if there was a hoax involved, Diane would have seen evidence of it in advance.
Audio analysis of the tape revealed only the distant barking of dogs, perhaps those reported by Diane Labineck.
The craft itself seemed to be silent. There was no audible trace of power generators, which if the object was staged would have been necessary to run its massive lights.
Dr. Robert Nathan of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory reviewed the tape in a non-official capacity.
Dr. Nathan could not explain the images, nor could he categorically dismiss the tape as a hoax.
In a puzzling coincidence, low-flying helicopters have cruised over West Carlton regularly since the August 91 incident.
According to Labineck and other local residents, the helicopters are black, green, or maroon in color. They are unmarked with darkly tinted windows.
The Canadian military denies any involvement in this incident. Where the helicopters come from and what they are searching for remains a mystery.
The helicopters that are used in this area of Canada do not fly low in that area.
We have designated flying training areas about 30 miles west of here. We also have them north.
Therefore there are no requirements for our military helicopters to go and fly near private citizens' property like that.
Either this is one extraordinary elaborate hoax, a military operation on private property, or something that's very unusual in the UFO category, something suggesting perhaps non-human technology.
The key to the entire episode lies with a person using the name Guardian. The presence of this mysterious informant in a remote field late at night with video camera in hand just in time for a UFO sighting can hardly be ascribed to luck.
According to Bob Axler, whether the event was real or an elaborate hoax, Guardian had prior knowledge that it was going to happen.
I think Guardian has to be connected to the event in some way. I don't see any way Guardian could have just happened onto this. I don't see Guardian as a UFO investigator.
Guardian is much more involved in this than the evidence even suggests in my opinion.
Virtually nothing is known about Guardian's true identity. Curiously, the secretive informant has contacted UFO researchers only in connection with the two sightings reported by Diane Labinec and others in West Carleton.
When we started looking into the events, it would be simple to say that it was a hoax because Diane was involved in both of them. But when you get to know Diane and see the way she lives and the circumstance, it's apparent that she wasn't involved in any way other than being an observer.
But purported military documents that arrived with a videotape raised serious questions about Guardian's credibility. Among other preposterous claims, the papers alleged far-reaching conspiracies involving UFOs, red china, and nuclear weapons.
There was some question immediately with regard to the authenticity of the documentation. It didn't look like it was a typical government document, even Canadian government documents, of which I had no familiarity at the time.
This document is clearly a fabrication. There are way too many errors in the document to make it authentic. Someone with very little effort could have come a lot closer than this.
Also included on the videotape are obscure images which Guardian claimed show an alien being.
Clearly this could have been someone dressed up in a costume, but that posed a major question. If in fact the video images of the disk were authentic, why would anyone contaminate such an extraordinary event with fake images of alien creatures?
The stories that he writes to go along with the events don't seem to match the quality of the event itself, if that makes any sense. These stories are rather far-fetched, and yet the events are seen by credible witnesses.
In spite of the dubious images and questionable documents, many experts believe that the events shown on the tape did indeed take place.
What really happened in the fields of West Carleton?
In the wake of its brief appearance during the summer of 1991, a strange luminous object left only questions. Questions perhaps the person called Guardian alone can answer.
This is either an extraordinary top-secret flying vehicle of somebody's government, or it is of a non-human origin. Having no contact with Guardian is probably the biggest frustration to an investigation like this.
We don't know who Guardian is, what Guardian represents. We don't know if Guardian was sent or went on his own. We have no idea what the solutions to many of these mysteries are going to be. We may never know.
We return. The intriguing story of a young woman whose identity remains a mystery.
Someday, somebody might build a six-passenger car that's a better value than Dodge Spirit. One that has an airbag, automatic transmission, and offers air conditioning, a four-speaker stereo, and more, at no extra charge.
We're not saying it's impossible to build a car like Spirit that's priced as low, just that no one has managed to do it.
Now, get $1,000 cash back on Spirit.

Barry Levinson brought you Budsy. Good Morning Vietnam, Rain Man, and now, Homicide, next on NBC.
On a recent broadcast, we brought you the poignant story of a woman named Brenda Merriman.
Just leave that stuff right there.
In 1961, Brenda's mother bought a restaurant in Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania, and moved her children to a farmhouse just outside town.
I'm gonna ride into town with the movers, so you have to take care of your brothers and sisters.
Well, aren't you coming back up here tonight?
I don't know why.
Brenda was the oldest child, and at the age of 16, she suddenly found herself responsible for the welfare of five brothers and sisters.
It was just like a normal family, because I was like their mother, you know.
You just went and you washed clothes, you did the dishes, you got their dinner, and you got their breakfast, and you got their supper.
And you'd get them scrubbed up for bed, you know, and you'd sing them songs before they go to sleep, you know.
Like a normal household.
Through a long, hard winter, Brenda struggled to care for the children.
Often she was forced to hunt small game to keep food on the table.
Finally, as winter broke into a damp, chilly spring, a fire at the farmhouse drove the youngsters to seek refuge with their mother, and she was unwilling to take them in.
Let's go.
Brenda tried to keep the children herself, but was forced to give them up, one by one.
You take good care of him, okay?
Don't worry, honey, we'll take good care of him.
Time's about 16, okay?
Eventually, Brenda was reunited with her sister Linda and her brother Butch.
Together, they set out to find the two youngest brothers, Eric and Keith.
On the evening of our broadcast, Brenda Merrill's single-minded determination to bring her family back together finally began to pay off.
An hour after Brenda's story aired, a man named Keith Robinson of Hornell, New York contacted our telecenter and said that he was Brenda's long-lost brother.
Brenda called me that same night, like five minutes later, and we was talking, and I mentioned about having a photograph that she had aired on the program.
And I basically told her, you know, detail for detail what was in the photo, so she knew that I was her brother.
On December 19, 1992, just in time for Christmas, Keith Robinson and his wife and children traveled to Montour Falls, New York for an emotional reunion with his sisters Brenda and Linda and his brother Butch.
He had not seen them in more than 30 years.
I thought a lot about what they were going to be like.
You know, if they were going to love me for just being their brother or love me for what I am now today.
If they were going to accept my family into the herd, because you know, it's over a 30-year period of waiting and looking.
It's a great Christmas present, you don't know.
He has the greatest Christmas present, especially his wife and kids too.
He has a nice wife and kids.
For everyone involved, the reunion was bittersweet, their joy tempered by the knowledge that one brother is still missing.
This is the only known photograph of Eric Nickerson.
He was born May 11, 1960 and would today be 32.
He was put up for adoption in Corning, New York.

Recently, this young woman was found wandering through the streets of a small California community.
She was completely incapable of speaking or hearing and carried no identification.
For the past five months, local social workers have been counseling her and still know almost nothing about her.
Tonight, they ask your help to find the young woman's family or friends.
Our story begins in Port Wyniemi, California on September 8, 1992.
That afternoon, a motorist came across the young woman frolicking on the meridian of a busy thoroughfare.
Can I help you? You don't hear what I'm saying? Do you live around here?
The motorist quickly determined that the woman was hearing impaired.
Fearing for her safety, he took her to the Ventura County Police Station.
Hi, what's your name?
The police attempted to question the woman, but found that she was unable to communicate who she was or where she had come from.
A wallet.
The only clue to her identity was a receipt from a bank in San Diego, 200 miles to the south.
The authorities could see no reason to detain the young woman, and a short time later, she was released.
I'm 10-6 with the subject. I'll bring her into the station.
The next day, a patrolman came upon the same young woman once again in the middle of a busy street, less than a mile from the police station.
She appeared to be terribly confused.
This time, the authorities placed her in a homeless shelter for women.
When she first came to this shelter, she had no means of formal communication with anyone,
so a lot of it was pantomime and mimicking and what is known as home sign language.
So this is a picture of you.
Communication specialist Chris Burrows was enlisted to help pierce the walls of silence that surrounded this most unusual Jane Doe.
One of the first things that we tried to do was we wanted to get a name and an age so that we could find out if we were dealing with a juvenile or whether we were dealing with an adult.
We sat down with paper and pen, and we tried communicating with her that way.
We wrote our names, Marty and I. I wrote my name, gestured to myself several times. Marty wrote her name, gestured to herself several times.
Who are you?
And then we asked her to write her name, if she could write.
Your name, this is me.
Okay, I think she got it here. L-L-L-L-B? No.
The young woman was apparently unable to write, and it was clear that she had no formal training in sign language, but she was able to spell out her name using symbolic hand gestures.
X.
When I copied it onto the paper, it was instant recognition, and in our field, instant recognition means this has got to be the truth.
The name she spelled out was Luxie, which may be a derivative of a Spanish first name.
For convenience's sake, Chris and Marty dubbed her Lucy.
Let's see if we can get an H here.
She got very excited when she found that someone finally had known her name and had gotten it. We did the same thing with her age.
How old are you?
Ten.
Twenty.
Two.
One.
Twenty-three.
Twenty-three? You're twenty-three.
Despite the ease with which Chris and Marty determined Lucy's name and age, finding someone who knew her was at a far greater challenge.
The days and weeks after Lucy surfaced in Port Wynne, the FBI and various missing persons organizations ran checks on her, but all turned up empty.
The only solid lead was a bank receipt from San Diego found in her pocket, but that too led nowhere, and authorities now find themselves at a dead end.
Little baby? You draw the baby.
This is Lucy as she appears today. Over the past few months, she has slowly begun to reveal fragmentary glimpses into her past.
There's just a particular story that she tries to tell about having come over on an airplane and having had a child and the child being taken from her and that she was left here.
One of the things that's puzzling about Lucy is she has all of the grooming habits and she has all of the appearances of someone who has been well-kept.
She's been taken care of all of her life. She doesn't have cooking skills, but she understands to come and eat when it's time to eat.
So I think that she's been in an environment where she's been well cared for and well loved by somebody.
She's not been on...when they found her in the beginning, I don't think she had been on the streets very long.
Although the genuine concern is for her immediate safety and her immediate protection, there are people out there who know Lucy, who have loved her in the past, who have taken care of her, and she needs to be with those people.
Lucy has brown hair and brown eyes and appears to be in her early twenties. Her ethnic background is uncertain, though she may have been born in Mexico.

Hi, well thanks for the ride, girl. Give me a call this weekend, maybe?
At 8 p.m., Geraldine George, a 27-year-old mother of two, returned home from work.
She had been separated from her husband, Larry George, for six months.
Despite a restraining order, he had continued to harass her.
Larry was a former Army enlisted man, who considered himself a survivalist.
That evening, his obsession with Geraldine would turn deadly.
Geraldine went inside her apartment and dropped her belongings off, her purse and whatever other items she had brought home from work.
She walked next door to Janice Morris's apartment and Ralph Swain's apartment.
It's Geraldine.
Geraldine had become friendly with her next-door neighbor, Janice Morris.
Janice had two young children of her own, and had agreed to take care of Geraldine's children while she was at work.
All right, say goodbye to everyone. Have a good night.
Bye.
She went in, sent her kids home, talked briefly with Janice.
It was rather brief because Janice was on the telephone with her mother.
Geraldine, after talking briefly with Janice, walked back next door, and as she entered her apartment, Larry George was already inside the apartment talking to her kids.
Larry, what are you doing in my house?
I'm here with my children.
You know you're not supposed to be here. We've been through this before. You want me to call the police again?
Where you been?
It's none of your business.
You know you're supposed to be here taking care of them.
I want you out of my house.
I don't want those people taking care of my kids.
You don't tell me what to do anymore.
Look, you're going to listen to me. You're going to listen to me.
Larry, put the gun away.
Ain't nobody running my house but me.
Honey, I want you to go upstairs. You call your granddaddy, and you tell him that Larry's here. Go on.
Larry, no!
No! No!
Janice!
Janice was still on the phone with her mother.
Please call the police. Larry's next door and he has a gun. Please hang up the phone.
I heard a woman's voice yelling, Janice, Janice. Call the police.
So I asked Janice who was there. She said that girl just left out of here.
I said what's the matter? She said I don't know.
Yes, the girl's next door and right.
She said she'd call me back.
Let me call you back, okay? Bye-bye.
And that's the last I heard. Last time I heard her voice.
Before Janice could call the police, Larry George shot her in the chest.
Larry, please stop.
Then in front of Janice's two children, he took aim at Geraldine as she lay cowering on the floor.
What's going on down there? Janice!
Janice's boyfriend Ralph Swain heard the commotion and ran downstairs.
Larry shot him in the back of the head.
Then according to a neighbor, Larry George calmly strode out of the apartment and disappeared.
Janice Morris was pronounced dead at the scene.
Ralph Swain was rushed to a local hospital where he died a short time later.
This murder was stupid.
I mean, Larry George didn't go there to kill Ralph Swain.
Larry George didn't go there to kill Janice Morris.
Ralph or Janice, neither one knew Larry.
They were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
And it was senseless.
Geraldine George survived the shooting and was left paralyzed from the waist down.
The next day, a Talladega County Sheriff's deputy was dispatched to a campsite six miles out of town.
A car had been discovered hidden in the brush.
It was registered to Larry George.
We found a campsite, personal belongings belonging to Mr. George, we didn't find the weapon that was used in the attack.
There was no weapons found with the car.
He had been living in the car.
There was a lot of clothing in the car.
We found a notebook where it appeared that Mr. George had been keeping a diary as to who came and went at his wife's apartment.
Camouflage clothing.
Since Larry's left the area, we found that he spent some time in South Alabama with his sister.
He spent some time in the Florida Panhandle area, which is where he attended truck driving school.
A large quantity of his belongings were recovered in the Roanoke, Virginia area along some railroad tracks.
I want Larry George to pay for what he did.
I want him to pay.
Because he didn't have any business killing anybody.
I don't know why he killed my daughter, I don't know why he killed Ralph.
But I think he should be punished for what he did.
Larry George is 38 years old, 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds.
He has a scar on his lower lip with the name Trish with a floral design tattooed on his upper left arm.
Authorities suspect that George may be living in the woods as a survivalist.
He was most recently sighted in Wilmington, Delaware and should be considered armed and dangerous.
The Alabama Governor's Office has offered a $10,000 reward for Larry George's arrest.
If you have any information, please contact the Talladega, Alabama Police Department, the FBI, or call our toll free number 1-800-876-5353.
Next, a man searched for the sisters and brother. He is not seen for nearly 30 years.

How reliable is a Dodge Caravan that will pass the family who put 217,000 miles on one?
Every morning we drive 40 miles to school, and then I drive 40 miles back. Then if we have the oval lessons, we have to go to Provo, Berther's house.
217,000 miles went by, and I never had to worry about it.
The Dodge Caravan, it's just a part of life. It always goes, it always does what I want it to do.
With over three million sold, our minivans are a part of more lives than all others combined. Reliability is one of their reasons.

In the summer of 1961, Harley and Ronnie Price of Wyandotte, Michigan, gathered their children together to pose for this happy family portrait.
But appearances can be deceiving. Within three years, Harley and Ronnie would be permanently separated and their children scattered, torn apart by alcoholism. Eugene Price was just six years old at the time.
I want to see my sisters and I want to see my brother. That's what I want.
I feel responsible to let them know about how things happen between my mom and dad. Things that they may not understand because they were younger.
That I spent more time with my dad and mom and know some of the answers. But most of all, I want to find my sisters and my brother because they're my family.
Eugene Price has spent most of his adult life searching for his sisters and brother. He wants them to know that they were not abandoned as children, but were the innocent victims of their parents' tumultuous marriage.
Today, along with his brother Dean and his mother Ronnie, Eugene hopes that one of our viewers can help reunite them with the rest of the family.
It was the spring of 1953 in New York City. Harley Price, nicknamed Smokey, was a Navy veteran who was working as a roofer when he began dating a co-worker's daughter.
Ronnie. Ronnie, right?
Yeah.
You know me?
Yeah, I think I do.
Yeah, I work for your dad. I do roofs.
Okay, that's right. I've seen you come by the house a few times for the truck, right?
Yeah.
Eugene's mother, Ronnie, was just 16 and was immediately swept off her feet.
So?
She had no idea that Harley was married with a childhood home.
We're both trying to get out of the house as much as possible.
When I first met Harley, I thought he was very good-looking, very charming. And it just snowballed from there.
Can I get a beer?
I was a stupid 16-year-old kid. I wasn't around. I didn't know anything. I was having a hard time at home, and he looked like a way out, I guess. That's it. He gave me what I wasn't getting at home.
Within a year, Ronnie became pregnant and gave birth to her oldest son, Dean. Ten months later, Eugene was born. Only then did Harley and Ronnie marry. Over the next six years, the Price's had three girls, Debbie, Terry, and Sherry.
Eventually, the Price's settled in Wyandotte, Michigan, just outside of Detroit. But as the family grew, Harley's drinking increased. Soon his drunken forays turned into a full-blown nightmare for his wife and children.
I need to go up there, too.
They lived in a constant state of fear, never knowing when Harley would erupt.
Where have you been?
Out. Having a little fun, a little recreation.
We need a free...
Don't start.
What?
Don't start with me. Oh, shut up.
He'd come home late at night, and then, you know, we'd hear my mom and him arguing.
So put him to bed.
I need your help.
When he wasn't drinking, he was... could be one of the nicest people you ever met. It's, you know, it's just... that's what the alcohol done to him. It just turned him into, you know, a bad person, and he just had no control over it.
You guys stay here. I'll be right back.
On more than one occasion, Harley took his children along as he made his rounds at the local bars. He would lock them in the car and then disappear for hours at a time.
One evening I was waiting for Harley to come home with the kids. He had taken them out. It was rainy. It was cold.
And the kids, when I got there, the kids were all curled up in the car, and he was in the bar drinking.
I was very upset. I was very angry.
Because they'd been in there, the way I looked at it, they were there most all day. And he didn't care.
I mean, you don't meet kids in a locked car in the cold weather, but he didn't care.
At other times, Harley would use the children as pawns in a sadistic game you'd play with their mother.
Okay, this is the way it is for everybody. You kids have to make a choice. Both of you. You have to choose.
If your mom and me split, if she goes, who do you want to stay with? Me or her? Huh? Me? Huh? Me? Do you want to stay with me, or do you want to go with her?
You, Dad. We want to stay with you.
I'd be scared if we said our mother that my dad would get very angry and upset, and that would either start another fight with my mom and dad, or else we would end up getting spanked, or there would be some kind of retaliation.
In 1963, the Price family grew larger, but the new baby, Jimmy, was born with an intestinal blockage and a defective heart. For Ronnie, a bad situation turned worse.
He had a heart surgery when he was three months old, and then it was in and out of the hospital for, you know, a year. He was always, he'd be home for maybe a day, and then he'd be back in again.
In 1964, tragedy struck. During a freak storm, the Price's house was hit by lightning and gulped in flames. Everyone escaped, the house was completely destroyed, with it, all of the family's possessions.
After the fire, I cracked, I broke down, and from there it just snowballed. It was just too much to me anymore.
Ronnie felt she could no longer tolerate Harley's abuse. With the help of a friend, she fled back home to New York. Two weeks passed before she realized the painful consequence of her actions.
She'd gotten away from her husband, but in the process, she had lost her children as well.
I called these people, social services, and I told them that I would like to have my children. Now, I had the luck, I want to have my children, and they told me absolutely not, that the only way I could get them would be to go back to my husband.
And I told them no, because if I went back, he'd kill me.
The social services representative stepped in to protect the children. The three girls and the baby were sent to the St. Vincent Sarah Fisher home, an orphanage just outside of Detroit.
Eugene and his older brother Dean remained with their father.
Several months passed before Harley finally took Eugene and Dean to the orphanage to visit their sisters.
Did you go to school here?
Yeah.
Too bad.
Yeah.
When I first seen the girls at Sarah Fisher, it was more or less we were just glad to see each other, because we hadn't seen each other for a period of time.
And while we were there, you know, we're anticipating that we're going to get the family back together.
You know, I think that was part of the conversation, and that everything would be fine.
After we got done talking with my sisters, which didn't seem like a long period of time, my dad says, well, it's time for us to leave.
That was the last time we'd seen them, and we've seen them since.
A few months later, Dean and Eugene were taken from their father and placed in the foster care system.
Over the next few years, they would be shuttled from one family to another.
Eugene eventually served in the Army, then settled down and started his own family.
In 1971, Eugene and Dean were reunited with their mother.
Twelve years later, their father, Harley, passed away.
Today, Eugene is determined to rebuild the family that was torn apart so long ago.
My sisters and my brother, Jimmy, have always been in the back of my mind.
I love them. I miss them.
My ultimate goal is to bring us all back together.
We deserve, Dean and I deserve to see them, and they deserve to see us and know a little bit about their original family.
Eugene's sister, Debbie, would now be almost 36 years old.
Terry would be 34 or 35, and Sherry 32.
All three girls were adopted in 1966, perhaps by the same family in northern Michigan.
There is no known photograph of the youngest brother, Jimmy Price.
He was also adopted in 1966.
Jimmy has a scar from one side of his chest to the other, which was a result of open-heart surgery.
Today, he'd be 29 years old.

I feel Denerex tingling on this side. Nothing on the head and shoulder side.

Someone figured out there are things I'd rather be thinking about.
