00:00On December 29, 1986, NBC7's San Diego aired a segment on highway safety offering tips
00:07on what to do in case your car breaks down.
00:10If your car should become disabled, the rule of thumb is stay inside.
00:14There are signs you can get to put on the back window to summon for help.
00:18If strangers should offer assistance, tell them to call police or the CHP.
00:22Just stay in the vehicle, lock all the doors, turn on the emergency flashers, and wait for
00:30help to come.
00:31Even if you have to wait all night, it's better to be in the safety of your vehicle and spend
00:35the night than to try to walk and get assistance.
00:38The segment also featured a ride-along interview with California Highway Patrol Officer Craig
00:43Pyre, who emphasized the dangers of leaving your car and blindly trusting others.
00:48This broadcast concluded with an interview with a driver who ran out of gas.
01:07He had pulled over on the highway and sent out on foot to find a nearby gas station.
01:11The bottom line though is that preventing all this trouble is easy.
01:14Be sure your car works, and as simple as it sounds, be sure you've got gas.
01:20Because even if you're lucky enough to get some, you still may be taking your life in
01:24your own hands.
01:25Do you realize how dangerous it is?
01:27Yes, I realize.
01:28In fact, I was putting the gas in and an 18-wheeler came by and almost blew me away, truthfully.
01:36However, what seemed like an innocent public service announcement was, in reality, aired in
01:41response to a horrific crime that took place in San Diego just two days prior.
01:46The victim of this crime was Cara Nodd, a 20-year-old honors student at San Diego State University.
01:52She spent Christmas Day with her family celebrating the occasion and opening presents.
01:56After dinner, she made plans to spend the next couple of days with her boyfriend, Wayne Bautista.
02:01Wayne had severe flu at the time and Cara wanted to nurse him back to health.
02:05So she drove to his house and stayed there for the next two days.
02:09On the 27th of December, at around 8pm, she called her father, Sam Nodd, from her boyfriend's
02:14place to let him know that she was on her way home.
02:16The drive from Wayne's house should have taken about 30 minutes.
02:20But when two hours passed with no sign of her, her parents began to worry.
02:24At around 10pm, Sam suddenly got up from his chair and said to his wife, I'm gonna go
02:28find Cara.
02:30With that, he drove to Wayne's house, hoping that Cara would still be there.
02:34Unfortunately, Wayne told him that she left soon after she called Sam and he had no idea
02:38where she was.
02:39Members of her family and Wayne began looking for her along the route she should have taken
02:43back home.
02:44However, despite driving around all night, they found nothing that could give them any
02:48insight into her whereabouts.
02:50Cara had vanished without a trace.
02:52That is until 5.15am when the family decided to drive down the Mercy Road exit ramp off of
02:58I-15.
02:59There, they found Cara's white Volkswagen Beetle.
03:02The driver's side window was halfway down, the keys were still in the ignition and all of her
03:07things were still in the car.
03:08But, there were no signs of Cara herself.
03:11The family reported this find to the police who quickly began searching the area.
03:15Not long after this search began, they found Cara's lifeless body 70 feet below a nearby
03:20bridge.
03:21Later, medical examination of her body revealed that she had rope burns around her neck and
03:25a mysterious round injury above one of her eyes.
03:29After a complete analysis of her injuries, the coroner concluded that she had been strangled
03:33before being thrown from the bridge.
03:34Other than these injuries, there were no signs of anything being done to Cara.
03:39This made it extremely difficult for investigators to pinpoint the killer's motive behind this
03:43horrific crime.
03:45There were no signs of someone else being in the car either, which also made it difficult
03:48to determine why she would drive off the main highway down an abandoned exit on her
03:52own.
03:53Cara's boyfriend was the last person who saw her alive.
03:56This made him the lead suspect in her murder, but he was soon cleared of any suspicion since
04:00he was at home recovering from the flu when the crime happened.
04:03The only clue investigators had left was a receipt from a Chevron gas station about 15 miles from
04:08the crime scene.
04:10Cara likely stopped there on her way back.
04:12Unfortunately, questioning the gas station employees failed to uncover any new leads,
04:17leaving investigators with zero clues for where to look next.
04:20Without any other options, investigators turned to the media and broadcasted Cara's disappearance
04:25in as many places as they could, asking the public for any useful information.
04:29This also included the segment on highway safety with Officer Craig Pyre.
04:34Luckily, after these segments aired on TV, the associated hotline quickly received over
04:38two dozen calls from women.
04:41However, instead of providing any information regarding Cara, these calls uncovered a far more
04:45shocking truth.
04:47They said that a patrol officer had pulled them over in the past and told them to drive down
04:51the same deserted Mercy Road exit.
04:54According to these women, this officer kept them there for hours and would even sometimes
04:57get in their passenger seats.
04:59The officer they were talking about was 36-year-old Craig Pyre, the same man who was preaching on
05:05TV about how to stay safe on the highway.
05:07Craig tried to disprove these allegations with his logbook, which showed that he was riding
05:10a ticket at the time miles away from the crime scene.
05:13However, his logbook had clear eraser marks in that slide.
05:17One week after the incident, the San Diego Police Department began a formal investigation
05:21with Craig as the lead suspect.
05:24And it didn't take long for them to find mountains of evidence that proved his involvement.
05:28While searching his car, investigators found a yellow rope, which was just as thick
05:31as the marks on Cara's neck.
05:33They also found his flashlight, which matched the wound above Cara's eye.
05:37However, the piece of evidence that sealed the deal was a golden fiber investigators found
05:42on Cara's sweatshirt.
05:44Forensic analysis of this fiber revealed that it was identical to the gold fibers in the
05:48patch on Craig's uniform.
05:49By this point, it was clear Craig was the one responsible for this crime.
05:53However, he remained adamant that he was innocent.
05:56But all the evidence and the testimonies from over two dozen women allowed investigators
06:00to piece together what might have happened that night.
06:03As the story goes, Craig saw Cara driving alone and decided to pull her over down the
06:07Mercy Road exit just like he had done with dozens of women before.
06:10However, instead of going along with him, Cara decided to fight back and maybe even threaten
06:15to file a complaint against him.
06:17That's when he lost control and hit her with the flashlight in his hand.
06:19Upon realizing what he had done, Craig now had two choices.
06:23Let Cara go and risk ruining his career or make sure she never talks to anyone again.
06:28Craig chose the second option.
06:30After strangling her with a rope, he put her on his car's hood, drove up the bridge and threw
06:35her off the side.
06:36On January 16th, 1987, Craig was arrested from his home and later sentenced to 25 years to
06:43life in prison.
06:44He's since applied for parole twice but was rejected both times and is still behind bars.
06:49It's still crazy to think that Cara's case might have gone unsolved if Craig hadn't agreed
06:53to do this now haunting video interview.
06:55An interview he did where just days before, he had committed the murder of Cara Nodd.
07:04On June 2nd, 2016, a woman named Christina Kellen posted this video of her pet parrot talking
07:10like a human.
07:11On most other occasions, people will look at a video like this.
07:38On most other occasions, people will look at a video like this, think it's cute or interesting
07:42and move on with their lives.
07:44But in this case, the video of a talking parrot became the key to solving a murder, one that
07:49baffled investigators for over a year.
07:51On May 12th, 2015, at around 7.30am, a woman named Connie Rhee heard gunshot sounds from
07:57her neighbor's house across the street in Sand Lake, Michigan.
08:01But she didn't pay much attention to it, since the neighbor, 46-year-old Marty Durham, regularly
08:05hunted in the area.
08:07Connie and her husband, Keith, were close friends with Marty and his wife, Glenn, and
08:10were familiar with the couple's habits.
08:12However, later that day, Keith notified Connie and told her that Marty wasn't answering his
08:17phone calls or text messages.
08:19So after finishing her work, Connie went out to the Durham house to investigate.
08:24The doors were locked and no one answered when she knocked.
08:27She assumed the couple wasn't home and went back to her house.
08:30But when an entire day passed without any word from Marty or Glenn, Connie became concerned
08:35and decided to check on them again.
08:37This time, she noticed that one of the doors was unlocked and went inside.
08:40At first, she found the living room, which was a complete mess.
08:44It looked like the place had just been robbed.
08:46However, nothing could have prepared Connie for what she came across next.
08:50As she entered the master bedroom, she saw both Marty and Glenn lying on the floor, covered
08:55in blood.
08:57She immediately ran outside and called for help.
08:59A group of firefighters was already nearby and rushed to the scene.
09:02After taking note of the situation, the first responders pronounced that both Marty and Glenn
09:06were already dead.
09:08Both had bullet wounds on their bodies and judging from the state of the rest of the house, it
09:12looked like a robbery gone wrong.
09:14But before they could begin investigating who the supposed robber was, something completely
09:18unexpected happened.
09:20About an hour after the initial report, a police officer who was on the scene noticed that
09:24Glenn looked like she was breathing.
09:26He walked up to her to check for a pulse, and that's when she opened her eyes and sat
09:30up straight despite having a bullet wound behind her ear.
09:34She was taken to the hospital for treatment.
09:36Miraculously, her wound wasn't lethal, resulting in her surviving the incident.
09:40Marty, however, wasn't as fortunate.
09:43He was shot five different times and didn't make it.
09:46Back at their house, investigators found a Ruger new model revolver under a couch in the
09:50living room.
09:51They also found several cartridges and one unused bullet for this revolver on the couple's
09:56bed.
09:57Investigators believed that this was the weapon used to shoot both Marty and Glenn.
10:01But they didn't find anything that could help them locate the supposed intruder.
10:05Without any other options, the police began investigating Marty and Glenn in hopes of finding potential
10:10leads.
10:11That's when they made a chilling discovery.
10:13Glenn's phone record showed that on May 11th, two days before Marty's body was discovered,
10:18she texted her mother saying, Love you, sorry.
10:22Seconds after sending this text, Glenn's phone accessed a webpage titled, Ruger new model single
10:28six single action revolvers.
10:30This was the same gun that was found in their home.
10:33After a more thorough search, investigators also found three letters written in Glenn's
10:37handwriting that were addressed to her children.
10:39Similar to the text she sent to her mother, these letters also contained apologies of sorts.
10:44When Glenn finally recovered enough to talk in October of 2016, investigators asked about
10:49everything they found.
10:50Glenn, however, completely denied ever searching anything about a revolver online and said that
10:55she had written the letters a long time ago.
10:57When asked about Marty, she claimed that she didn't remember anything relating to his death.
11:02At this point, Glenn was the number one suspect.
11:05However, investigators didn't find any solid evidence they could use to bring her in for
11:09a proper questioning or make an arrest.
11:11After all, it was still possible that the incident was caused by an intruder, especially
11:15since Glenn was shot as well.
11:17This left Marty's case at a standstill.
11:20And it remained that way, until June of 2016, when out of all things, a talking parrot single-handedly
11:27solved the case.
11:28You see, the African grey parrot in this video was named Bud, who originally belonged to Marty.
11:40He was later handed over to Marty's ex-wife Christina after his death.
11:45The thing about this parrot is that he was in the house when everything went down and witnessed
11:49everything.
11:50For those who don't know, African grey parrots are among the most intelligent parrot species.
11:55They're great at imitating human speech and even understanding the meanings of some words.
12:00They're also more likely to repeat what they heard during a high-stress situation.
12:04This is why, while in the care of Christina, Bud kept repeating what he heard on that day,
12:09over and over again.
12:10Probably about a month or so after Bud got here, I would hear him scream and squawk, and
12:17it would happen a lot at night time.
12:19But then, one day, literally, he just kept going over and over again, the same all, and
12:24it sounded like two different voices.
12:26And I was just so freaked out that I took it upon myself to record it.
12:31If we go back to the video of him speaking, we can make out what sounds like an argument
12:35between Glenn and Marty.
13:01But simply, there was no intruder.
13:03Glenn and Marty had an argument where she was yelling and likely had a gun pointed at
13:07him.
13:08Now, while this video gave necessary insight into what went down, there was no practical
13:12way to use a parrot for testimony and convict Glenn.
13:16However, this gave the investigators the confidence they needed to pursue her more intently.
13:20They took a DNA sample and later discovered matching DNA on the Ruger revolver, the supposed
13:25murder weapon.
13:27Further interrogation also revealed the whole truth of why she did what she did.
13:31Apparently, Marty had been on disability ever since getting in a car accident a few years
13:35back.
13:36But, he was able to make ends meet by illegally selling his prescription narcotics.
13:41He left Glenn in charge of the money he made from his drug business so she could pay off
13:44important bills like the house mortgage.
13:46Glenn, however, wasted much of this money on gambling and kept lying to Marty about the
13:51mortgage payments.
13:53Marty eventually learned the truth when the bank announced that it would foreclose the house
13:56on May 12th, 2015, the same day Glenn shot him to death.
14:00Rather than facing the consequences of her own mistake, Glenn decided it was better to
14:05orchestrate a robbery gone wrong and take her own life.
14:08In the end, Glenn was arrested on the 24th of June 2016 and was later sentenced to life
14:13in prison for a crime against her own husband.
14:20On November 18, 2011, at 4.35am, Sydney Fire and Rescue Services responded to an automated
14:27fire alarm at the Quakers Hill nursing home.
14:30The fire was nothing short of a complete tragedy.
14:34As things started calming down, news outlets conducted interviews of the people involved.
14:38This included Roger Dean, a nurse who was on duty at the nursing home when the fire erupted.
14:43Hi, I'm Roger, I'm one of the nurses and just there was a fire and I just quickly just did
14:51what I can get everyone out and the smoke is just overwhelming but you know, we got a lot
14:58of people out so that's the main thing.
15:00By the time responders arrived at the scene, the fire had already engulfed a large portion
15:27of the building.
15:29According to later reports, the fire burned so intensely that even with full protective
15:32gear, some firefighters struggled to get close to the flames.
15:36What made this already dire situation even worse was that the burning ward housed bedridden
15:41dementia patients who were completely unable to escape on their own.
15:45Outside, rescue workers could hear the desperate cries for help but were powerless to act because
15:49of the extreme heat.
15:51Despite these difficulties, they managed to get over a hundred residents to safety.
15:55Among those trying to help, however, was Roger Dean who rushed in to secure vital medication
16:00records before firefighters stopped him from going back into the flames.
16:04This man was hiding a disturbing secret beneath the surface.
16:08As it turns out, Roger was the one who started the fire in the first place.
16:13It all started with him stealing prescription medication from the nursing home by the hundreds.
16:17Just a day before the fire, security cameras caught him accessing the medication closet thirty-six
16:22different times during his shift to steal pills and capsules.
16:25However, his luck ran out when other staff members at the nursing home noticed the missing
16:29medication and reported it to the police.
16:32At this point, Roger knew it was only a matter of time before he got caught.
16:35So, he came up with the horrible idea to start a fire and steal the medication records during
16:41the chaos.
16:42And while he managed to execute this plan successfully, the fire also resulted in eleven elderly residents
16:48losing their lives to the flames.
16:51After he was arrested, Roger came up with the most bizarre excuse to explain his actions.
16:55It was like Satan saying to me that it's the right thing to do.
17:05In actuality, there was no Satan or demon telling him to start the fire in the nursing
17:10home.
17:11He was just a prescription meds junkie who committed a horrendous crime while trying
17:15to cover his tracks.
17:16Later investigation even uncovered footage of him admiring his handiwork on the morning
17:21of the fire.
17:22The seemingly innocent video of him being interviewed now carries a much more disturbing tone.
17:28He stood trial in the Supreme Court in May 2013 and was given a life sentence without
17:32the possibility of parole for eleven counts of murder.
17:39On May 16, 1992, Mexican singer-songwriter Cholino Sanchez gave one of his best performances
17:46to date.
17:55He performed many of his popular songs before ending the concert in spectacular fashion.
18:00The fans loved every second of it.
18:02Little did they know at the time, this was going to be the last time they would ever see
18:06him perform.
18:07And it all tied back to the origin of Cholino's music.
18:10You see, Cholino was born in 1960 in a very poor farming region in Sinaloa, Mexico.
18:16Even worse than poverty, Cholino's village was marked by rampant inequality where a few
18:20rich and powerful men had the power to do whatever they wanted.
18:23Unfortunately, Cholino experienced this inequality first hand when a local thug named El Chapo
18:28Perez assaulted one of his sisters.
18:31However, Cholino wasn't going to let that slide.
18:34When he was just 15 years old, he spotted El Chapo at a party.
18:38And without a second thought, Cholino went up to El Chapo, drew his gun, and killed him
18:42at point-blank range.
18:44But since El Chapo was a well-connected man, killing him forced Cholino to flee to Tijuana
18:49before crossing the border into the U.S.
18:52After establishing a foothold in America, Cholino went into business with his brother in Mexico,
18:56smuggling Mexicans into the U.S.
18:59However, this operation came to an end in 1984, when his brother was killed in a hotel
19:03in Tijuana.
19:04This inspired Cholino to write a song commemorating his brother, but he did so in the most unconventional
19:10way.
19:11The song was written in a traditional Mexican style called Corrito.
19:14For the lyrics, Cholino spoke openly about him and his brother's life, not shying away
19:18from the topics of drugs and violence.
19:21During this time, he himself ended up in prison in Tijuana.
19:24There, other inmates loved his unique style of music, causing it to spread across the
19:28Mexican underworld by the time he got out.
19:31It also gained a new name called Narco Corrito.
19:34After getting out of prison, Cholino kept working on his music and quickly became one
19:37of the biggest stars of his era.
19:39By 1991, he was selling out arenas for his tour.
19:42However, given the genre of his music, he never managed to escape the violence he once
19:47came from.
19:48During one of his concerts in January of 1992, someone ran onto the stage with a gun.
19:54Instead of running to safety, Cholino decided to draw his own gun and engage in a shootout.
19:59This resulted in the death of the assailant as well as 10 people in the crowd getting injured.
20:04Cholino also got shot but managed to survive.
20:06However, his luck was about to run out.
20:09About five months later, Cholino performed in Culiacon, Mexico, delivering what would later
20:13be remembered as one of his best performances.
20:17And as we mentioned earlier, also his last.
20:20During the concert, someone came up to him and handed him a mysterious note.
20:24In the footage from that concert, we can clearly see Cholino read the note, become visibly shaken
20:30by it, begin sweating, and stare into the crowd for a very long time before resuming the performance.
20:36Near the end of this concert, Cholino made sure to properly say goodbye to everyone, including
20:40his friends and fans.
20:42Shortly after the concert ended, Cholino was kidnapped and executed with a bullet to the
20:46back of his head.
20:47The note he received on stage essentially said something along the lines of, we're going
20:52to kill you after this performance.
20:54Cholino knew the threat was real, and that this performance we see in the video would be
20:58his last one.
21:00Unfortunately, the identities of the killers were never uncovered, and it's unlikely they
21:04ever will be in the future.
21:10Instead, the
