You've just got to love how someone can be sentenced to 15 years for fraud, then you have a guy who literally SHOOTS someone with the intent to kill, leaving them in critical condition, and he only has to serve 10. Tell me how that makes even a small bit of sense.
The first story is super fascinating, and scary as hell. I love how producers of the show were not afraid to call out the military and government on their BS, terrific work.
Heres what the Air Force pararescuemen found when they found the crash site of Baron 52 about 2 days later Three pilots were still strapped into their seats one pilot was found outside the plane. the rear door of the plane was missing and all of the parachutes were gone .There were 8 people on the plane and they only found 4 bodies The other 4 obviously jumped out !!!!!!!!!!! "The location of the wreckage was first discovered by U.S. Air Force search and rescue on 7 February 1973. The plane was determined to have crashed inverted, coming to rest upside down in the jungle; both wings had been sheared off. A team consisting of three pararescuemen and an intelligence expert were on the ground for approximately an hour and found three bodies in the charred wreckage, those of Spitz, Prim and Bollinger in the cockpit, still strapped in their seats. Outside of the wreckage, they found Lt. Bernhardt's body. In the rear of the plane they observed that the jump door had been removed (it was never located), the crew's safety belts were unbuckled, and all of the top secret sensitive equipment was missing as were the rear crew's parachutes On 9 February 1973, Bernhardt's remains were recovered and positively identified four days later. On 22 February, the other seven men were declared killed in action despite no confirmation of the fates of the four members of the collection crew"
@@thegodfather1907 Good question. I think part of it is because the US shouldn't have been involved in the conflict in the first place, it's a very shameful part of US history from a political point of view and they most probably want to bury as much of it as possible. Also it was a dirty war, and there's no doubt the US used a few questionable tactics to try to get the upper hand on the Vietnam army, meaning stuff they don't want the people to know (which mean cover up). And of course the guys in power, like that devilish son of a gun LBJ and the old hawks around JFK before his murder, were no stranger to secret operations and to questionable tactics. But you're right, the amount of cover ups and secrecy related to Vietnam is scary, and no doubt that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
The Josephine White segment has one of the best explanations of how con artists operate. The detective goes over each step as well as showing empathy for the victim.
a couple caught my elderly father outside of a grocery store about 10 years ago and pulled the same scam on him. He didn't have any substantial cash or credit cards so they talked him into going back to his house, he let these strangers in where he handed over all of his jewelry and my mom's jewelry. My mother had just died a week earlier. He was very vulnerable. We were beyond angry.
This happened to my classmate in fourth grade. I think they were dealing with a family issue at the time. Someone called their house and her babysitter was conned into giving all of the valuables (electronics, jewelry, cash) available in the house to a group of people waiting outside.
@dondressel452 THAT was like 12-13 years ago. I'd like to think karma has ALREADY caught up to them by now. Maybe they were jailed for something else,maybe they were beaten to a pulp, maimed,or redrum by someone else...maybe COVID got them. Karma has definitely been closing in on them in some form or another.👀😒💯💯💯💪🏾🧔🏾♂️
The “pigeon drop” would never work on me. I’ve spent my entire adult life assuming everyone around me are assholes. It’s a self preservation method that has served me well.
That’s why they target elderly people….. they are adults that don’t know any better. You just gotta ask yourself, why would they want me to get involved and then offer 22k for my help? Why am I the one to put up the 5k fee? Why wouldn’t you question that at least?
Paul Stamper was sentenced to 35 years but was released after only TEN?!? He's CLEARLY still paying somebody off down there in Kingfisher! That AIN'T Justice at all. He should have gotten 10 years for every time he assaulted Theresa, 35 years for the attempted murders, and at LEAST 5 to 10 for the escape. Not to mention the embezzlement he was doing through his oil field equipment repair job. All runnier consecutively, not concurrently. And then Internal Affairs needs to do some serious investigating of the Kingfisher area Justice Department lol there's some equally egregious corruption going on there, as well.

No. It’s not. There’s cyber stalking, emotional abuse, physical abuse, financial abuse, and sexual abuse. All of it requires proof and even if you have it you only get a protection order. You are always looking over your shoulder. Never open windows. Even walking away from your car. It’s only taken seriously when someone gets hurt or worse.
Makes no sense. Most people serve 40+ years for doing just one part of what he was arrested for. The armed prison break alone would definitely net most (let alone a minority), life in prison.
I thought the Stamper story was made into a movie. I used to love when they would create movie on lifetime based on true stories. Those were the best movies ever.

In November of 1992, a joint task force excavated the Baron 52 crash site and recovered the partial remains of seven men. None of the remains could be positively identified, but the military and many of the family members of the missing men believe that they are their remains. In fact, Joseph Matejov's dog tags were recovered and identified. For unknown reasons, some of the families refused to have DNA testing done on the remains. In December of 1995, the remains of the Baron 52 crew were finally laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. Robert A. Cressman, the older brother of Sgt. Peter Cressman, further adds that his brother was positively identified by CILHI based on dental x-rays. The US Air Force provided those x-rays to his family which showed a full set of upper and lower teeth. However, Peter had several teeth knocked out prior to entry into the USAF which adds further doubt to the identification. To this day, the Cressmans and Matejovs are still searching for answers.
In the early 1990s DNA testing was still in its infancy. Replication testing of DNA didn't exist and was only developed after 2001. I remember because it was a number of years after the attacks and their subsequent discovery until some of the smallest human remains from the World Trade Center could be tested to determine their identity.

@Kenny 808Kine, I know exactly what happened. That peace accord treaty should've been applied across the board but the Government knew that because how deep certain rates and ranks were able to go, they decided to pick and choose who goes home and who stays on continue that pointless mission. And in the end gambled with those men on board and paid with their lives. So instead of trying to admit their mistakes, it would be better to know nothing about the crash or very little and simply say, 'We dont know' and point the finger anywhere elsewhere but themselves. So in the end time takes over and tries to forget the blame, mistakes, memories, and innocent lives, just 'sweep them under a rug and forget about it' so to speak and be long forgotten. But let me just say that some of us will never forget. And unfortunately, blunders like this happen all the time. It's a shame...
About the Vietnam story...so disgusting and heartbreaking 💔 😢 there is intelligence they were alive, no body, no parachutes and an intersected communication that prisoners were taken in the only covert mission at that time...that gentleman knew how much danger he was in, tried to advocate and was shut down..just so heartbreaking
Satellite photos taken over Sam Neua Laos in 1988 show a huge "walking K" (a symbol that would have been known only to US servicemen) and "USA" stomped into a rice paddy. Guys were trying to tell the US Government they were still there and the government didn't want to know.

My mom told me to NEVER pull over for a car with “dinky lights” - like that single red light on Paul’s car. She told me that if I really felt that I had to pull over; that it was a legitimate cop…then go to a very public, lit place and stop. She said the cop would understand if I explained that reasoning to them. That advice has always stayed with me.
If those missing men didn't get sold to North Korea, most likely if they were still alive, they were killed right away. I don't see the point of keeping prisoners alive in Vietnam. Still. Those families deserve to know what happened. But it sucks though that they had all this hope that maybe they were still alive 😕

And kidnapping as well .No justice . Noticed how she said he was fun , he gave her nice things , she never once said she loved him . Then we see the scammer gets 15 years , 🤦♀️
The Air Force airman's mother was asked if she still feels patriotic. I think distrusting your government and loving your country can happen simultaneously. Imagine all the people...both military and civilian who have ended up in completely messed up situations...like those airmen possible being taken to the Soviet Union. CRAZY!!
It’s pretty obvious the police were being paid off by Stamper. How could they possibly explain letting him go after such serious assaults without charges against him?
Josh Light, I was thinking the same thing. If this was actually legit, I would say, "Why can't we just split the money three ways evenly as is?" Or if she did have to legitimately put up 5,000 in good faith money, I would tell the other 2 I want to see them put in the same amounts of money as well. Then the part where Josephine goes into the office to talk to her boss, I would be going in with her as well. It says she served 15 years and got released. I wonder if she is still around today and if she is, hopefully she changed her life around.
@@joshlight6892She had spent years in the US working and was retired at the time of the scam! She could have asked the other two to take out the $5,000 from the stash the scammer had supposedly found and to use that to pay the taxes. She just wasn't thinking straight, blinded perhaps by a bit of her own greed and semi-hypnotised by the two scammers' glibness.
What's funny about the woman scamming the elderly, is that everyone talks about the elderly being so naive and falling for it. You'd think with that much life experience they'd know better.

I was born on Nov. 24--- I see the scenes and kind of imagine my parents and the family rejoiced because of my birth and at the same time, this girl was suffering this ordeal many miles away....
Sadly the families were in denial over their losses. So sad. It was an attempt to be certain their agreement was following through. these families are beyond patriotic and it is unfortunate that their loyal traits kept them on guard longer

What kind of jail has just one little old lady on guard in the middle of the night? No wonder Stamper escaped.
The Vietnam story! I have all kinds of questions and will be researching this topic more!
Well Kenny? What did you find? Been almost 2 months since you made this statement. You should've found quite a bit by now......
@Kenny 808Kine, I know exactly what happened. That peace accord treaty should've been applied across the board but the Government knew that because how deep certain rates and ranks were able to go, they decided to pick and choose who goes home and who stays on continue that pointless mission. And in the end gambled with those men on board and paid with their lives.
So instead of trying to admit their mistakes, it would be better to know nothing about the crash or very little and simply say, 'We dont know' and point the finger anywhere elsewhere but themselves. So in the end time takes over and tries to forget the blame, mistakes, memories, and innocent lives, just 'sweep them under a rug and forget about it' so to speak and be long forgotten. But let me just say that some of us will never forget. And unfortunately, blunders like this happen all the time. It's a shame...
They killed Kenny because he stumbled on to something he shouldn't have . A moment of silence for our fallen brother

What in hell was going on with jails and prisons at this time? People are able to break in and break out at will like Houdini
About the Vietnam story...so disgusting and heartbreaking 💔 😢 there is intelligence they were alive, no body, no parachutes and an intersected communication that prisoners were taken in the only covert mission at that time...that gentleman knew how much danger he was in, tried to advocate and was shut down..just so heartbreaking
Satellite photos taken over Sam Neua Laos in 1988 show a huge "walking K" (a symbol that would have been known only to US servicemen) and "USA" stomped into a rice paddy. Guys were trying to tell the US Government they were still there and the government didn't want to know.
The scammers are like hyenas that target weaker individuals.
“$5000 good faith deposit for income tax purposes”....what?? lol. Oh Barbara you should’ve just walked away.
lol I know right. Not to mention she would be getting the money right back along with the 22,000. None of it made any sense.
I always told myself that I would never be stupid enough to fall for a scam too. Until I did. It wasn't nearly as much as this amount, but I was. I have a college degree and I'm one of the most cynical people alive. Still fell for it.
@@michelleprieur1 Damn! Sorry to hear that. But just remember these con artists our good at what they do, specially the smart ones. They make a living doing this type of SHIT to people smh
No doubt
The 'con actress' a reminded me of great Kathy Bates. Great
The case of fugitive Stamper,I could not believe that this tiny of a man could be so mean to everybody.And after 10 years of his 35 years sentence he's out again.I can't believe it,
Ugh, SUCKS that Mary couldn't find Martha before she passed away. I couldn't imagine learning i had a twin only a little too late to actually meet him. (Or her.) Someone could go crazy thinking about that.
It is heartbreaking 💔
Hats off to the police in the Stamper case they did such a good job. Insert sarcasm here
Yea pretty shitty police work for sure

Trump said it best. American justice system is a complete joke. Police and jail employees essentially buffoons.
amazing re-enactments. best show ever
Wow, even though it was so long ago, it felt so good to watch those troops coming home.
Imagine how frustrating doing research must have been back then with communication technology so much more limited.
My mom told me to NEVER pull over for a car with “dinky lights” - like that single red light on Paul’s car.
She told me that if I really felt that I had to pull over; that it was a legitimate cop…then go to a very public, lit place and stop.
She said the cop would understand if I explained that reasoning to them.
That advice has always stayed with me.
Go Unsolved Mysteries.... You got Paul, prayerfully he will stay incarcerated
If those missing men didn't get sold to North Korea, most likely if they were still alive, they were killed right away. I don't see the point of keeping prisoners alive in Vietnam. Still. Those families deserve to know what happened. But it sucks though that they had all this hope that maybe they were still alive 😕

I'd like to know the name of the episode of the little Native American Indian girl that was kidnapped from her home (think) Albuquerque NM when she was 7-8?
@Beloveth53 BahtGad ruclips.net/video/lWXE8_WUi84/видео.html about 24 minutes 15 seconds in. Turns out that was actually my 5th birthday. Don't know why I wanted to reply to your comment, but decided to Google it for you. Hope it helps.
35:02 “What do you think we should do?”
Me: “Who’s we, you got a turd in your pocket?”
So a scammer gets 5 more years than an attempted murderer? What a crock of shit!
I used to watch Unsolved Mysteries when I was kid. My dad had it on all the time. I found it quite interesting. I watched a true crime story movie on youtube yesterday about Teresa Stanford. I was searching for the Unsolved Mysteries for that and found this. This episode reminded me of how good Unsolved Mysteries was when this guy narrated it.
First case. 1973. 18 years ago. Wow this episode is old. Now it's almost 47 years ago.
@Cherry poppin fun Yup. It came out in 1991. The year you were born. Now this episode is almost 30 years old.
@Cherry poppin fun Well I'm an old man compared to you. I was 21 when you were born in 1991. 😂
I was 9 when this dropped, I can remember watching this episode with my sister
@@WanderingBrushArt
I was 10. 1991 was a hell of a time; the Ninja Turtles were like The Beatles for us kids. ...and yes, they were also bigger than Jesus.
@@JanetStarChild take your meds
This show makes you feel like staying in the bed relaxing eating some popcorn an watching unsolved mysteries
Gotta feel sorry for these poor army guys , they had no choice . Can’t trust the government ever !
Ten years ! Seriously the sentences seem so weak ! I mean its attempted murder ! And kidnapping as well .No justice .
Noticed how she said he was fun , he gave her nice things , she never once said she loved him .
Then we see the scammer gets 15 years , 🤦♀️
The military is a death cult. What do you expect?
The Josephine White story pissed me off. Hope the old lady got her money back. Did she want to hide her identity? The obscuring was scary.
I agree! The obscuring was scary for me. They should have done with a silhouette instead!
The Air Force airman's mother was asked if she still feels patriotic. I think distrusting your government and loving your country can happen simultaneously. Imagine all the people...both military and civilian who have ended up in completely messed up situations...like those airmen possible being taken to the Soviet Union. CRAZY!!
heartbreaking to hear that account from Mrs Matejov about her husband crying at night for their son, sheesh.
Ugh watching Barbara get scammed is nauseating. So many red flags.
Agree....Just so sad to watch smh
Sad the twin didnt get to meet her sister 😔
What memories 🙏 my grandfather would wear blue coveralls with a white T everyday 😭
It's really sad how siblings are separated in adoption. They really oughta keep them together.
It’s called logistics
It’s pretty obvious the police were being paid off by Stamper. How could they possibly explain letting him go after such serious assaults without charges against him?
Not enough evidence
@@EssexAggiegrad2011She was willing to testify, wasn't she?
"You need to make a 5000$ good faith deposit for tax purposes." Lord Almighty, people will believe anything.
Josh Light, I was thinking the same thing. If this was actually legit, I would say, "Why can't we just split the money three ways evenly as is?" Or if she did have to legitimately put up 5,000 in good faith money, I would tell the other 2 I want to see them put in the same amounts of money as well. Then the part where Josephine goes into the office to talk to her boss, I would be going in with her as well. It says she served 15 years and got released. I wonder if she is still around today and if she is, hopefully she changed her life around.
@@derekclancy6916 in all fairness she was an immigrant and probably not familiar with our laws, but still you'd think that would set off alarm bells.
@@joshlight6892She had spent years in the US working and was retired at the time of the scam! She could have asked the other two to take out the $5,000 from the stash the scammer had supposedly found and to use that to pay the taxes. She just wasn't thinking straight, blinded perhaps by a bit of her own greed and semi-hypnotised by the two scammers' glibness.
And 5000$ at that time was like 20k today
What's funny about the woman scamming the elderly, is that everyone talks about the elderly being so naive and falling for it. You'd think with that much life experience they'd know better.
Paul Stamper fue extraditado a Oklahoma, donde se declaró culpable de secuestro, intento de asesinato y fuga de prisión. Stampet fue sentenciado a 35 años de prisión y fue puesto en libertad después de cumplir 10 años.
How did Stamper only 10 of his 35-year term? shocking
Do you ever notice how EVERYONE has "since been released"? Just wondering if it was just me.
I mean most stories are over 20 years ago......
@@onlyplayaseattacoswiththei9433 I know. But some of these are really wicked crimes.
The con artist ones maybe but most of the killers died in prison.
@@gaynorpatterson2915 I hope so.
@@seekanddestroy7343 that's because they get old I guess & they figure the prisoners are no longer a threat to society. They don't have the strength they did in their prime.
Theresa needed to have planned her escape; moved far away; changed her appearance; purchased a new identity.
Stamper only did 10 years for attempted murder. What a joke...
...for attempted murder, kidnapping across state lines and escaping prison. Crazy...lots of folks get that much for non-violent drug cases.
Stamper should be under a jail somewhere.
In the 80s and early 90s you could bribe a lot. I’m sure he’s on parole
@@Amaruforlife , I guarantee she either now owns a gun (or several) or has a very high tech security system.. as well as a permanent restraining order where he cannot even be in the same state as she is.
@@Amaruforlife , oh, don't get me wrong.. he should have spent the rest of his life in a federal penitentiary! I am just saying that his ex most likely has taken as drastic of steps as she needs to feel as safe as possible.
10 years for being a psycho jealous killer. I’m sure he’s been rehabbed
in the stamper case the police are so careless all those things he did to her and they didn't lock him up smh. wait only 35 years they give him for almost killing someone and then release him after 10 years that is a joke smh
Damn he gave her a nasty pair of Irish sunglasses25:43, Stamper I hope there's an update with your name on it
I always wondered what the point of pulling a military file was when the government was trying to hide something. I guess I was wrong based on what these parents found.
Josephine White is a big rip off...poor Barbara...the applance man needs to be caught and sentenced too!
The US Govt......smh
"Cancer in her stomach or something", well if that isn't a red flag I don't know what is?
I love these reunion parts so much!
37:42 Man I like that car at Crown Vic ford I wish they would Make cars like that again it’s such a shame they don’t.
Worst transmissions ever produced by ford.
Janet Mobilia Well they could reproduce the car how it looks on the exterior and interior but have easier and safer controls and of course better transmission.
Josephine white looks like Katy Bates. 😂
That poor old lady been had. I m so glad that I don t fall for this type of robbery. I don t believe anyone in or out of this Country.
The description doesn't have the Josephine White story
Wow those Stamper events from the kidnapping of Theresa to her escape happened around the day I was born! He shot Theresa's boyfriend on Nov. 23rd, and Theresa escaped on the 25th. I was born on Nov. 24---
I see the scenes and kind of imagine my parents and the family rejoiced because of my birth and at the same time, this girl was suffering this ordeal many miles away....
Lol nice
The first story was probably the type of thing that inspired Rambo 2
Wow 10 years served out of 35 ? That's very generous
It's very possible they wound up in the Soviet Union, top security cleared electronics specialists would have been very highly sort after.
the beginning military story reminds me of the Charlie Shelton unsolved mysteries episode
I remember Morton Downey Jr. talking about these particular MIAs on his show. (Even wore a bracelet with Matejov's name on it.)
Mary passed away December 9 2007 at the age of 83
31:50 how in the fuck can somebody Break INTO jail..Lol that’s Crazy Af’ the shit they was doing back in the day😭
Guarantee that con woman went right back to her old tricks right after she was released from prison
Was probably conning her fellow inmates!
An 82 Corvette was probably very affordable, sales had fallen off dramatically. In fact they did not make any 83 Vettes.
The updates are usually about the person being caught, which is good, but then you see they got 35yrs in prison but released after 10. 🤷🏽♂️
That stamper dude should had never been released! What a joke!
OMG how can anyone scam an elderly person? What a POS...
This episode provides a graphic example of the adage "Don't steal. The government hates the competition."
Sadly the families were in denial over their losses. So sad. It was an attempt to be certain their agreement was following through. these families are beyond patriotic and it is unfortunate that their loyal traits kept them on guard longer
The woman was so naive to give the money.
Elderly people are often the target of scams and unfortunately they lose their life savings
"Hes watching me and knows what I do. He doesn't know where I live" lol
It makes me so angry that Stamper is a free man. Why does he always get off so easily .
