Unsolved Mysteries

From the annals of World War II, the fascinating legend of the Ghost Blimp. In 1942, a U.S. Navy airship crashed to earth in Northern California with no one on board. To this day, the fate of its crew remains an Unsolved Mystery.

Case File: Roswell UFO Crash Location: Roswell, New Mexico Date: July 2, 1947 Description: Founded in 1891, Roswell is a city in the county seat of Chaves County in the southeast New Mexico, United States. The center for irrigation farming, dairying, ranching, manufacturing, distribution and petroleum production, it is also the home of the New Mexico Military Institute. The Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge is located a few miles northeast of the city on the Pecos River, and the Bottomless Lakes State Park is located twelve miles east of Roswell on U.S. 380. In recent years, Roswell has become a mecca for UFO enthusiasts. History: On the night of June 13, 1947, a violent electric storm swept over the plains of Roswell, New Mexico. As rancher Mac Brazel waited out the storm in his house, he heard an explosion that sounded much different than the usual thunderclap. According to his son, the next morning, Mac went to the nearby fields to see where the rain had hit. While there, he found the debris field of an unknown object, broken beyond identification. The debris field was 3/4 mile long and 200 feet in width. Scattered along the field were pieces of plastic-like metal, about three feet long and as thin as newspaper, and strong flexible beams. Some of the metallic pieces had strange qualities and unusual tensile properties. Later that day, Mac went to his neighbors, Floyd and Loretta Proctor, who lived about ten miles away. He told them about the debris field and brought one of the pieces with him. Although they tried to do several things to it (such as cutting and burning it), the object was unchanged. The Proctors urged Mac to go to the authorities. He went to the sheriff the next Monday; the sheriff, in turn, informed the local military base. That afternoon, Mac led two army intelligence officers to the crash site. One of the officers was Major Jesse Marcel Sr., an experienced combat pilot, whose peacetime job was investigate air accidents. Despite his experience, Marcel was unable to identify what kind of craft it was. Marcel died in 1982, but before his death, he was interviewed for a UFO documentary. He said that there was just fragments strewn across an area that was 3/4 mile long and several hundred yards wide. He tried to burn it, bend it, and even hit it with a sledgehammer, but none of that worked. One thing that he was certain of was that it was not a weather balloon, airplane, or any kind of craft he knew. Late on the night of July 7, Marcel drove back to Roswell, his car loaded down with the unusual remains found at the ranch. Before going to the base, he stopped by his home to show his family what he had found. His son Jesse Marcel Jr. saw and handled the debris that night. He found that on one beam there were strange markings that appeared to be hieroglyphics. However, Marcel Jr. did not believe that they were Egyptian hieroglyphics. He described the symbols as a type of geometric configuration in various designs. It had a violet-type color and was actually an embossed part of the metal itself. The Marcels were convinced that it was not of Earthly origin. After showing the debris to his family, Marcel Sr. brought it to the Roswell base. The following morning, it is believed that the debris was flown to Wright Field near Dayton, Ohio. Along the way, it apparently stopped at Carswell Air Base in Fort Worth, Texas. That same morning, Colonel William Blanchard, the commanding officer, went public about the story by Mac Brazel and the UFO that he had located. Second Lieutenant Walter Haut was a public information officer for the 509th Airborne Divison. Colonel Blanchard ordered him to issue a press release, telling the country how the Army had found a flying saucer. The press release read, in part: The many rumors regarding the flying disk became a reality yesterday when the intelligence office of the 509th Bomb Squadron was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disk through the cooperation of a local rancher. Under Blanchard's instruction, Haut took the releases into town to show that they were cooperating with the townspeople. *The story was quickly picked up by media across the country. That same day, Barney Barnett, an engineer for the Soil Conservation Service, made an astonishing discovery while driving near Socorro. He found an oval-shaped spaceship that had crashed and broken open. There were four deceased beings located on the ground near the craft. Their heads looked larger than normal and they had strange spacesuits on. At that same time, a group of archaeology students arrived at the site after seeing it near their dig. Shortly afterwards, the military arrived after learning of the second crash site. However, it was too late for them to secure the area. They told Barney and the students to leave the scene and not tell the story to anybody. Barney kept quiet about the story until years later, when he told it to his friend Vern Maltais. To this day, none of the archaeology students have ever been found. Although the story was only told second-hand by Vern because Barney had died in 1969, the circumstantial evidence found makes many believe that the story is credible. On July 8, 1947, the story of the discovery of a UFO in Roswell hit newspaper stands worldwide. According to some investigators, that same day, a cargo plane carrying the debris arrived at an airbase in Fort Worth, Texas. Soon afterwards, the army received information that another crash site and bodies had been found. Fort Worth Brigadier General Roger Rainey's office issued a new press release soon after, claiming that the wreckage was not a UFO, but instead a US Army weather balloon. Marcel Jr. claimed that his father was certain that the wreckage was not from a weather balloon; however, he had to keep that information to himself at the time due to security reasons. Meanwhile, some reports said that Mac Brazel was held at the Roswell base until the new cover story was put out. In downtown Roswell, Floyd Proctor saw Mac; however, Mac appeared to be unwilling or unable to acknowledge him. At the time, he was surrounded by several men in military clothing. By the time he returned to his ranch, all traces of the debris had been taken from there to Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio. Investigators believe that some of the bodies and debris were taken to other places after arriving in Ohio, but that others are still there. However, there was only circumstantial evidence to say that something other than a weather balloon crashed into the field in Roswell until thirty years later.

Broadcast on Unsolved Mysteries. The Case of the Satanic Stockton Arsonist. On August 15, 1989, an overheated car pulled to the side of a road in Stockton, California. The owner was a man we’ll call Joseph Villa. Joseph inspected the damage while his wife and son looked on. He decided that he and his son should walk to the nearest phone. On the way, they noticed a camouflage jacket on the ground. Inside a pocket was an unlabeled videotape. Joseph and his son decided to take the video home and watch it. The video was of a house on fire. The family immediately turned it over to police, who were convinced that the person holding the camera had also set the fire. Captain Frank Curry of the California Department of Forestry assumed the disturbing voice heard on the tape belonged to the arsonist: Update: Within minutes of our broadcast, several viewers called and identified the house seen burning on the videotape. It was located in Redwood City, California, 80 miles west of Stockton. The house that was destroyed was under construction at the time. Today it has been rebuilt. Surprisingly, on the night of the blaze, Woodside Fire Captain John Dellinges also videotaped the fire: “While I was setting up the command post, directing companies to extinguish the fire, I had set up my video camera to film the fire for training and investigation purposes.” By comparing Captain Dellinges’ tape with the video shot by the arsonist, investigators were able to confirm that this was definitely the fire’s location. According to Detective Mark Pollo of the Redwood City Police, authorities had two suspects: “Some of the calls received led us to a 17-year-old Woodside youth. We interviewed that youth. Through that interview, it led us to a 19-year-old Redwood City youth who was arrested and interviewed and subsequently admitted to burning the house, taking the video and was the one who talked on the videotape.” Both suspects were underage when they set the fire and were tried as minors. One served time at juvenile hall. The other was committed to a state mental hospital. The haunting last words on the arsonist's video were: "Good Night, Ladies and Gentlemen. YOUR HOUSE IS NEXT!"

The Kecksburg UFO incident occurred on December 9, 1965, at Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, United States, when a fireball was reported by citizens of six U.S. states and Canada over Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario. Astronomers said it was likely to have been a meteor bolide burning up in the atmosphere and descending at a steep angle. NASA released a statement in 2005 reporting that experts had examined fragments from the area and determined they were from a Soviet satellite, but that records of their findings were lost in 1987. NASA responded to court orders and Freedom of Information Act requests to search for the records. The incident gained wide notoriety in popular culture and ufology, with speculation ranging from extraterrestrial craft to debris from the Soviet space probe Kosmos 96, and is often called "Pennsylvania's Roswell".

Amelia Earhart was a female aviation celebrity of the 1930s. She was the first woman pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She received the U.S. Distinguished Flying Cross for this record. She set many other records, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences and was instrumental in the formation of an organization for female pilots. Earhart joined the faculty of an aviation department in 1935 as a visiting faculty member to counsel women on careers and help inspire others with her love for aviation. In 1937, accompanied by flight navigator Fred Noonan, she was attempting an around-the-world flight. Had she succeeded, she would have become the first woman to circumnavigate the world by aeroplane. The two left Oakland, California, on May 20, 1937, and traveled eastward across the United States. They continued this eastward pattern along the equator. At 10:22 a.m. on the 1st July, Earhart and Noonan departed from Lae, New Guinea for Howland Island which was 4,113km away. It was the last time that they would be seen alive. The last known position of their plane was near the Nukumanu Islands 1,300km into the flight. The United States Coast Guard were set up to communicate via radio but this was not successful; problems are believed to have been caused by lack of knowledge of this new technology and not putting the half hour time difference into consideration when scheduling. Hours later on the morning of July 2, Earhart's transmissions could be heard, but it appeared that messages sent to their aircraft were not being received. As time went on transmissions from Earhart became more and more garbled and soon became hard to decipher. The strength of the transmissions received indicated that Earhart and Noonan were in the vicinity of Howland island, but could not find it and after numerous more attempts it appeared that the connection had dropped. The last transmission received from Earhart indicated she and Noonan were flying along a line of position (taken from a "sun line" running on 157–337 degrees) which Noonan would have calculated and drawn on a chart as passing through Howland. Only one hour after the last transmission was received, the search for them began. The United States Coast Guard and Navy both searched the surrounding waters of Howland Island and the neighbouring Gardner Island. The official search ended 17 days later after $4 million had been spent on search resources. At this point in time it was the largest, most expensive and most publicized search to date but no trace of Amelia or Fred was ever found. On January 5, 1939, Earhart was declared legally dead. Theories on disappearance During the 1980s, some researchers who examined the disappearance were convinced by unsubstantiated accounts that Amelia and Fred veered off course by 2,000 miles and landed on the island of Saipan where they were captured and executed by the Japanese Navy. Witnesses place Amelia's plane in the custody of military officials in the area and the execution of two American pilots by the Japanese. One US Army soldier, Thomas Devine, claims to have seen Amelia's plane on Saipan during World War II, just seven years after she had disappeared. He overheard two soldiers confirm that the plane was Amelia's. An official reprimanded these soldiers for talking about the plane. Later, he saw the plane flying overhead, so he wrote down the identification numbers. The numbers matched those that were on Amelia's plane. He claimed the Army destroyed her plane later that night by setting it on fire. On the same island, another soldier, Bob Wallack, claims he found a bag filled with documents that were owned by Amelia, including her passport. He turned the documents over to his commanding officer, and the documents, like Amelia, were never seen again. One Saipan native who was still living in the 1990’s said that in the late 1930s, two Americans were captured by the Japanese. They were forced into the town center, where they stripped their clothing. It was then revealed that one of the Americans was a woman. The two were then held prisoner for several days. The witness later recalled seeing the woman, blindfolded, taken to a field and executed by a firing squad. The witness is certain that the woman was Amelia; however, these alleged events are almost certainly apocryphal. In 1987, an search was done of the area where the execution allegedly occurred. A blindfold was found; however, no remains were located. Furthermore, Saipan lies hundreds of miles west of Earhart’s known flight path, making it doubtful she landed there. Today, many researchers believe that the Electra ran out of fuel somewhere near Howland Island and that Earhart and Noonan ditched at sea. One researcher believes that due to an incorrect map, compass problems, and wind shifts, the plane most likely ditched thirty-five miles west of Howland Island. The researchers who support the "crash and sink" theory say that the Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean in the world, with many hundreds and thousands of miles separating tiny dots of dry land. They also say that the waters of the Pacific are so deep that finding the aircraft would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. However, Howland was by no means the only island within range and the aircraft appeared to have enough fuel to reach an alternate destination. Furthermore, it is also believed that if the aircraft ditched at sea, it should have been able to float until discovered and numerous searches of the ocean floor by new underwater technology have failed to find the aircraft. Therefore, based on the lack of concrete evidence to support the above theories, a more likely theory is that Earhart and Noonan found Gardner Island, now known as Nikumaroro, landed the plane on the reef near the wreck of a freighter, and sent sporadic radio messages from there. It has been surmised that rising tides and surf swept the plane over the reef edge and Earhart and Noonan survived on Nikumaroro for several weeks before succumbing to injury, starvation, thirst, disease or simple dehydration on the waterless atoll. One week after the flight disappeared, three U.S. Navy search planes flew over Gardner Island. The Navy fliers saw “signs of recent habitation,” but they believed the island to be inhabited, and so they moved on, when in fact it had been abandoned since 1892. In 1940, a British colonial officer and licensed pilot radioed his superiors informing them that he had found a female skeleton, along with a sextant box, under a tree at a makeshift campsite on the island's southeast corner. The skeleton had roughly the same proportions as Amelia Earhart but both the bones and box are currently missing; the colony on Nikumaroro was abandoned in a severe drought in 1963, and the remains went AWOL with it. Scientists have been unable to determine the identity of the skeleton conclusively as modern tests cannot be run without the remains. In a 1998 report to the American Anthroplogical Association, researchers concluded, that they "can be certain of is that bones were found on the island in 1939–40, associated with what were observed to be women’s shoes and a navigator’s sextant box, and that the morphology of the recovered bones, insofar as we can tell by applying contemporary forensic methods to measurements taken at the time, appears consistent with a female of Earhart’s height and ethnic origin." Further searching of the island led to the discovery of an aluminium panel possibly from the plane, a piece of Plexiglas identical down to the exact thickness and curvature of the window on the plane and a size 9 shoe heel resembling the footwear Earhart is shown to be wearing in promotional photos for the flight. A jar with mercuric traces of Dr Berry's brand freckle cream, presumably belonging to Earhart, has also been found. Even though the crash and sink theory is more commonly believed, the surviving Earhart family all have said that they believe in the Gardner Island theory. From the evidence, it is speculated that Amelia died at the makeshift campsite where the skeleton was found. Noonan's fate on the island has been less speculated on due to lack of evidence. The TIGHAR project are currently working on DNA analysis of bone fragments and fecal matter, as well as analyis of artifacts and searching for evidence of animals hunted as food by the castaways. Due to the cost of analytical equipment and outside expertise, they are reliant on donations to do so. Recently, underwater imaging has shown what appears to be a strut, a fender, a wheel and a worn gear, as well as other possible pieces in the debris field. These are consistent with the upside-down landing gear of the plane. An October 28, 2014 article by Rossella Lorenzi states that a small piece of aluminum found on Nikumaroro is believed by TIGHAR to be a patch from the fuselage of Earhart's Lockheed Electra. This patch, which replaced a navigational window on the Electra, can be clearly seen in a photo of the plane taken by the Miami Herald when the plane departed from San Juan, Puerto Rico. TIGHAR hopes to return to Nikumaroro in 2015 to continue to search for the plane in the waters off the island atoll. Extra Notes: This segment first ran on Unsolved Mysteries in the November 7, 1990 episode. This case was also featured in the TV shows "In Search Of" and "Expedition Unknown." Results: Unsolved - The crash and sink theory is more widely believed by people, but the Gardner Island theory has a much more confirmed explanation. Work is ongoing but reliant on donations. Evidence to support the information about the Japanese Survey ship, Koshu, having gone to Gardner Island to rescue Amelia Earhart includes the following: A direct Quote from the 'New York Times' July 7, 1937 says: "The Japanese Navy's 2,080-ton survey ship Koshu, Captain Hanjiro Takagi commanding, which is cruising in the area around Howland Island. Was ordered yesterday to search for Amelia Earhart. The orders to the Koshu were radioed after Hirosi Saito, Ambassador to Washington, had reported that the United States Government had accepted an offer of Japanese assistance. Admiral Mistumasa Yonai, the Navy minister, immediately transmitted instructions to the Japanese commanders in Formosa and the Mandated Islands." The Koshu's log, according to Susan Butler's book "East to the Dawn" says, "The Koshu headed south, out of Japanese and into United States waters, fully aware of where they were." In October 2014, the piece of aluminum mentioned above, was shown, by precision photographic processes, with accuracy comparable to a finger print, to be that object mentioned. If this is correct, it changes the list of possible sources of Amelia's disappearance and would totally eliminate the crash and sink theory. It would also disprove the "crashed in the Marshall Islands" theory. It would prove that the Koshu was on Nikumaroro for a while, but was then taken to Jaluit Island with Amelia and Fred on board, and with the Electra attached to Its stern. That is why the search planes never saw them or the plane. They did see "some kind of markers", probably supports, used to load the Electra. At Jaluit Fred was treated by Bilamon Amaron. They were then, starting on July 19, taken to Saipan and locked in, Garapan jail as spies. They did not crash in the Marshalls but were taken there, arriving at Jaluit Island Navy base on July 13, ten days after they went missing. They were never in "two places at the same time!" a statement which had been used to claim that all of the numerous incidents about Amelia in the Marshall Islands and Saipan were false. This information was referenced in "Earhart and Noonan: the Missing Link" by Duane Hamblin. On July 9, 2017, the History Channel documentary, "Amelia Earhart: Lost Evidence," proposed that it was not Nikumaroro that Amelia landed on but an atoll in the Marshall Islands northeast of Howland Island. Their research was based on figures resembling Earhart and Noonan on a pier on Jaluit island as featured in a photograph. The theory is that after a storm affected Earhart's route, she turned west back to retrace her route and she crashed in the Marshall Islands, where she was picked up by the Japanese Navy and take to Saipan, where she was imprisoned and executed. It is further theorized that American intelligence knew she was there, and covered it up in order to prevent the Japanese from realizing that their secret code had been broken. When the US army seized the island, they then removed Earhart and Noonan's remains from the island. As yet, none of this has been confirmed, and this scenario is still theoretical. It was later revealed that the photograph, which the majority of the documentary was based on, allegedly showing Earhart and Noonan was taken in 1935, not 1937 as it was claimed, thus making the photograph completely unrelated to Earhart and Noonan's disappearance.

Case File: Chupacabras Location: Puerto Rico Date: March 1995 Description: Puerto Rico is an island territory belonging to the United States known as a tourist spot by vacationers. Known for primarily appearing near the rural farming communities, the Chupacabra is described as a kangaroo-like or dog-like monster with reptile features and strange scales. History: In March of 1995, a farmer in Puerto Rico discovered eight of his sheep dead, with strange puncture wounds and all of the blood drained from the bodies. A few months later in September, a man named David Negron went to check on his goat when he found that it had been killed. Nearby, he saw the red-eyed, reptile, and kangaroo-type creature. According to him, it was black, hairy, and had a crest on top of its head. Later that day, investigators from the Civil Defense were called to the scene. When they examined the goat, they could only find two small puncture marks on the back of its neck. Surprisingly, it had been drained almost entirely of its blood. The beast seen by David was then dubbed "Chupacabra" by the press. The word "Chupacabra" is Spanish for "goat sucker". Within the next few months, hundreds of animals would be killed and drained of blood throughout Puerto Rico. Almost all of the victims were small animals; interestingly, their carcasses remained intact. Journalist Jorge Martin began to investigate the attacks and connected many of the cases. Attacks and sightings of "Chupacabras" were soon reported throughout all of Puerto Rico, most concentrated in the town of Canovanas, thirty miles east of San Juan. By October, even the mayor of the town was involved in the investigation by interviewing witnesses and organizing search parties. A former skeptic was police officer Eliezer Rivera; he believed that the sightings were all mass hysteria until one night when he was driving with a friend. Along the way, they saw a Chupacabra along the side of the road. As they watched the creature, it began watching them as well. Eventually, he and his friend became frightened and left. Eliezer is now certain that the Chupacabra is real. Although many skeptics believe that wild dogs killed the animals, others believe that the Chupacabra is real. In early 1996, several animals were killed in Miami similar to the victims of the Chupacabra. Now, some believe that the beast might have come to the United States. Investigations: The police of the cities in Puerto Rico investigated to attempt to locate the creature. Veterinarian Carlos Soto examined several of the animals that had been attacked. On one of the animals, he found puncture wounds on the back of its neck. He also found that it had some of its internal organs removed, but did not go through rigor mortis. Carlos has been unable to explain what happened to the animals. However, a spokesman for the Puerto Rican government claimed that the animals were probably attacked by wild dogs. Extra Notes: The case was featured as a part of the April 26, 1996 episode. Results: Unresolved. In April of 1996, pathologists examined goats that had been killed by alleged "Chupacabras". Based on the wounds on the bodies, they concluded that the animals had actually been killed by a group of wild dogs. In July of 2010, two animals were killed in Texas that were believed to be Chupacabras. However, it was later determined that the "Chupacabras" were actually coyotes with parasite infections. In October of 2010, University of Michigan scientists determined that Chupacabras were probably just diseased coyotes. However, some still believe that the Chupacabras are creatures that have yet to be explained.

Real Name: Elvis Aron Presley Case: Suspicious Death Location: Memphis, Tennessee Date: August 16, 1977 Details: Elvis Presley was one of the most famous and charismatic entertainers in the world. When he died on the morning of August 16, 1977 in his home at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee, it came as a great shock to all his fans. To this day, several people who still refuse to accept his death instead believe the alternate urban legend that he faked his own death. However, several other people wonder if it was an accident or suicide. His stepbrother, David Stanley, is certain that Elvis committed suicide. Around the time of his death, Elvis was on a strict daily routine. Three times per day, he took nearly a dozen different prescription drugs and pain-killers, including Demerol and Seconal, to help with his physical ailments. The drugs were administered by members of his entourage. His drug usage began in 1958 after he was drafted into the Army and sent overseas. While on the front, he began taking drugs to keep himself awake. After he was discharged, he starred in several films. He wanted to be a drama film star, but his management did not let him because they did not believe he would make enough money. Depressed by his lack of drama roles and overbearing fans, he retreated to his Graceland mansion. He surrounded himself with paid friends, called the "Memphis Mafia". When he was not on tour, he kept himself isolated from the outside world. His affairs, absences, and drug use led to the end of his six-year marriage to Priscilla. He became angered and depressed after the divorce. By the mid-1970s, insiders claimed that Elvis's dependence on drugs was so bad that he needed round-the-clock care and supervision. David and a group of men known as the "lifers" took care of him and catered to his every need. They were with him all of the time, getting him food, waking him up, and getting him medication. He received his drugs in three separate doses, known as "attacks". Each attack contained several kinds of drugs in pill or syringe form. Among them were Valium, Nembutal, Demerol, Quaalude, and Seconal. The first attack was usually delivered between 2AM and 3AM. After he would take the attack, he would eat a couple of cheeseburgers and fries. His lifers would have to watch him while eating, because he would sometimes become groggy and fall asleep with food in his mouth. After sleeping for a few hours, Elvis would awaken for attack two. After a few hours, he would receive attack three. The amount of drugs seemed to be too high for an average individual. Red West, his friend and bodyguard, told him that he did not need to take that many drugs. Elvis, however, claimed that he did need them. Red felt that there was nothing that he could do. David also tried to help him, but was unsuccessful. Elvis's depression worsened in the weeks prior to his death. Even though he had made millions of dollars in the past, he was short on money. His manager had booked another tour, which he was dreading. He was visibly overweight, in poor health, and reportedly impotent. He was also despondent about a book that was about to be published, written by former members of his entourage. The book detailed the side of Elvis that his fans knew nothing about. David said it was clear that he was depressed and did not want to go on anymore tours. The last time David saw him, Elvis said goodbye to him and was crying. He said that he would never see him again and that the next time he would see him would be in a "higher place in a higher plane." The exact sequence of events on the day of his death is uncertain. However, there were several differences from his normal routine. First, he ignored his late night feast. Next, he did not use his Demerol. The last person to see him alive was his girlfriend. At 9:30AM, he got out of bed and went to the bathroom to read. His body was found in the bathroom a few hours later. Paramedics were already there when David arrived. He was certain that Elvis had committed suicide. He found that Elvis had taken all three of his attacks at once. He believes that Elvis did this to end his life. The official autopsy determined that Elvis died of an irregular heartbeat due to severe cardiovascular disease. Clinical toxicologist Dr. Kevin Merigian stated that there was no evidence that he died of a drug overdose. However, David is certain that the drugs were responsible for Elvis's death. His friend Red West believes that Elvis would not kill himself purposely because of his religion. His father Vernon had a private autopsy done on Elvis. The results will not be released until 2027. His fans and others still wonder if his death was merely an accident or suicide. Extra Notes: This case first aired on the November 13, 1997 episode. Elvis Presley was also featured prominently as a part of the twinless twin segment that aired on February 16, 1996. Results: Unsolved

Real Name: Huey Pierce Long Jr. Case: Unsolved History/Suspicious Death Location: Baton Rouge, Louisiana Date: September 8, 1935 Details: Louisiana senator Huey Long was assassinated at the State Capitol in Baton Rouge on September 8, 1935, decades before the political assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., and Senator Robert Kennedy. Like the ones since, Huey’s assassination rocked the United States to its foundation. It is believed that, had he lived, he would have become president. To many, he was a spirited visionary. But to others, he was a dangerous radical. This case first aired on the September 30, 1992 episode.
