Gwen was able to get in contact with one of Gary's daughters. She learned that he was adopted in 1941 and renamed Robert Ernest Lundstrom. He married and had three children: Kristina, Bruce, and Debbie. However, surprisingly, Robert vanished sometime in 1964 from Huntington, New York and has never been found. After talking with his old classmates, his daughter Kristina believes that he changed his last name to Keegan. She also suspects that he may not want to be found. In 2001, Gwen was reunited with Gary's children. Sadly, a few years later, Debbie passed away. Gwen and his two surviving children are now searching together for what happened to Gary/Robert. Florence Winch LaValley passed away in 1994.
Hello Lauren, I also am fond of this show! When I grew up, this show aired at 7pm, and the paranormal episodes were freaky. My parents worked late and so I would hear the pipes and floor creak while I watched these episodes. At the time, it seemed like that this only occured when I was alone in the house, however, they creaked all of the time. LOL
@@BruceWayne-st1hm haha, same! As a youngin' I would always convince myself that the noises *only* occurred during the spooky episodes of Unsolved Mysteries meanwhile they were simply sounds of a very old house settling that occurred nightly. 😂
before there was any you tube when the internet was much smaller and most people didn't own a computer yet those lifetime episodes were a god send. i watched or taped all the STACK episodes first run but i was thrilled that reruns were back on somewhere. i've seen all the episodes several times and i still watch them. FARINA episodes were ok but def. not as good. they shortened the stories so they could fit more in to each episode.
Can't believe there's no update on Richard's whereabouts. Poor Tanya's family, living with this pain for all these years. Tanya came to this country, like so many people, to better her life and look what happens to her when she comes to this country. What a shame!
3:09 - Tania's story breaks my heart. Such a brave young woman to leave her family and friends to pursue her dreams. I'm sure she was a wonderful person.
I am majorly obsessed as well, Robert Stack FTW! Dennis Farina didn't even compare TBH. As a child these terrified me, but at the same time I was so intrigued by the mysteries, The killer ones scared me at night, but I LOVED the ones about UFO's and especially the ones about gold and treasure that was lost, The mythical Legends and Lore, still today 30 years later- No show even compares, and how perfect was Robert Stack for this show? his voice is so deep and majestic. #RobertStack #RIP #UnsolvedMysteries #1980s
In case anyone was curious: In 1981, there was a very solid lead that Richard Bocklage was at his sister’s wedding in St. Louis, MO. However, Agents didn’t get there in time and by then he was long gone. Detective Warren Miller later indicated in an interview that he strongly suspected that Richard’s family was providing assistance to him on the run. He never found any smoking gun that was the case, however.
Almost 60 years since Paul Whipkey disappeared, and still no update. What a fascinating story. If the military wanted him to disappear, then his body might be somewhere in the desert where no one will find it.
I'm not trying to pass judgement on anyone that want to go to the military, or someone that serving the military or anyone that retired from the military. The military have a bad reputation of vanishing soldiers trying to serve their country. It had been countless of people disappeared in the military for years.
The new continuation of the show should contain all the updates of all the shows done so far; if they have enough time to cover everything else that has happened since the last broadcast to the public.
The removal of all Paul Whipkey’s teeth, coupled with his exposure to radiation, indicates he had the severe jaw bone problems which is the indication of significant, very possibly fatal, radiation exposure.
This show was beneficial for many. When was the last time we had a show that improved people's lives? This program rocks and I'm just sad that there is no show currently on television like it. Robert Stack was perfectly dead-pan creepy and nailed it btw.
In 1991, Astarte was arrested in Santa Barbara, California, but police were unable to charge her with Jim's murder. She pleaded guilty to bank and passport fraud and in 1997 was transferred to a minimum security prison, where she later escaped. Then, in October 2002, Astarte was arrested in Spokane, Washington. She was later released, and has never been charged with Jim's murder, and his body has never been found.
Vegeta Solo, it is amazing how you know so much about many of the cases on Unsolved mysteries and what happened after the case was shown on the program and what happen to the people involved..
Poor Jim what a witch 😤😤😤 she took advantage of the love and money also . If she was not going pay for Jim’s crime at least police should it take Jim’s money she doesn’t deserve it
That music they used at 10:42 for Bocklage's age progression was some of the scariest UM used. I remember it creeping me out when I was 12 and this first aired.
Love the diverse mixture of stories covered on UM especially the decades old ones. Seeing how recent history has unfolded they shed a lot of light. Thanks for the uploads !
For Pete's sake this is like the 5th episode this season that mentions my hometown of Spokane in some way, that wicked witch came here to hide, lol. Its a far cry from the Virgin Islands in terms of good winter weather.
Awww.....Gwen passed away in 2018 having never found Gary. But this is the weird part....she did get in contact with Gary's children. They say he disappeared in 1964 from Huntington, NY at the age of 29. They never saw him again. It is believed he left his family and assumed a new life. Gary was listed in Gwen's obituary as having pre-deceased her, though this was never substantiated. One of Gary's children has already passed away, as well.
Richard Bocklage is still wanted, 40 years later. He would be about age 65 now. Dr. Tanya Kopric’s case is the prime example of how women should NOT get involved with men who do not treat them with respect. He used her, got what he wanted out of her, and then killed her. The poor woman was SO desperate and blinded by love to stay with him as long as she did. Ladies, you will NOT change such a man! If dating with him is miserable, marriage will be even worse. Break it off while there is still time-and you are still living. Keep looking for a gentleman, and do NOT look back once you let a jerk go!
Years ago, there was a woman who kived close to my grandparents who was a retired social worker. She mentioned once that she had regrets for breaking up so many families.
what are you talking about ? they were candy coating it , they were a LOT worse than this little bo peep version portrayed ! where do you think hitler got his best death camp guards ?
These older shows talking about the "American Dream" make me sad at the fall of America. Used to be back in those days, and earlier, having a simple 9 to 5 job and working was enough to provide for a few kids, yourself, have a nice car, a nice sized home, even have enough money to put aside for retirement and an odd vacation here or there. All of this, while having the wife stay at home if she wished to take care of the kids. Now you can barely provide for yourself doing that let alone kids and a stay at home wife. Government knows they could squeeze more money out of us and up the cost of everything through tweaking the "economy", so now everyone has to work their ass off to barely get by these days, and that's even for people who don't binge on frivolous things like paying for Disney+ or other idiotic monthly payment entertainment.
When prisoners escape like astarte when they're caught the prison time should automatically DOUBLE instead of just being returned to serve out the little remainder!!

What is it with people today and Robert Stacks. He was a good actor who's voice carried a presence itself. Not a creepy guy with a creepy voice, I never once got that impression from him and I was a kid when this show first aired on TV. Of course I did grow up watching horror movies and loved them and all, but that's besides the point. He was a good actor and the show was great.
My grandmother and her brothers were abandoned by their father (or taken away) and put in an orphanage during the depression or possibly a little earlier. My father found this out recently; she had always told him that they were orphans from Poland, not that they had been orphaned here in the US. She was old enough to remember her father when she was orphaned, so that probably played a part in why she didn’t discuss it (she died about 20 years ago.) My dad wasn’t able to find out why their father couldn’t keep them. My great-uncles then spent their lives being close to the orphanage and doing all sorts of work for them and the children for decades. Several books about the orphan system in Chicago talked about my great-uncles. I don’t know what was going on in the child “protective” system back then. Seems like every episode on UM has some awful story about families being separated unfairly. Now that I know I have a family link to the orphanages at that time, I’m going to start reading up on it more.
@@woodworkingandepoxy643 I did read a book about that particular orphanage from man who lived there as a kid. He didn’t say anything about families being separated unfairly. He didn’t mention anyone getting adopted out of there at all, which was a little weird (I don’t think they had babies there, so maybe nobody wanted kids older than toddlers). He said there was one major creep who tried to entice the young kids. He didn’t claim there was anything systematic about that. The orphanage had reunions occasionally and the majority of the students there had good things to say about their lives in the orphanage. The place was torn down in the 90s.
The Gary segment is one of the most heartbreaking child adoption ones this show has ever done. They didn't even explain how freaking child services got involved someone must have reported that poor boy who clearly waa loved so sad he's not been found
What a bizarre case that last story is. It has so many unexpected twists. Astarte was quite a character. Knowing her past, I think it’s safe to say she killed Jim. His body was never found and he was declared legally dead in 1988. Astarte is probably dead today. She’d be in her late 80s.
I work with Social service they don't do crap. Let kids stay in abusive homes until they're dead or molested to death. Believe me if they take a kid, that kid definitely needed to be taken because they let so much go
Alina Mitchelson i work for social services too but not cps different dept and i agree- the caseloads for cps are so high that the case workers can’t keep up and if they do take a child away it has to be really really bad
a friend of mine in the military said nowadays they have to prove you're a deserter back then they could label you as one anytime they wanted. and judging by UM they did alot back then. and you're probably right it saved them having to pay out benefits to the families.
Regarding Paul W. I knew a man, then in his 80's, who had been in the military and been set in a ditch with a sack lunch along with 40 others, to witness an atomic bomb tower test in Nevada. He had terrible radiation burns on his head plus cancer, from the heat wave from the bomb sweeping over the soldiers, then boomeranging back from the mountains over them again. He tried to sue the military....his name and all the soldiers in the ditch names had been erased from any records.
Bocklage would be 63 if still alive. He was born in 1957. He shot Tanya in the head, drove to Canada and disappeared. How can someone just vanish like that?
If you are stupid enough to shoot someone in the head getting out of their car, I doubt they could be smart enough to evade the police for 40 years. He had to have had help from someone.
To think if only little Gary's dad would have decided not to abandon his family. He could have married Kathryn and this shattered dream would never have happened. It all began with a thought.....sad.
Unsolved Mysteries has taught me that the child welfare system had absolutely no concern for the welfare of children. Watching these now in 2022/2023 is so depressing to see how many families were ripped apart and children unfairly placed into the system/adopted out some of them never reunited.
At 7:09 all I can think of is, sucks to be a receptionist on that day! I like how the COMMITTEE MEMBERS handed that off & got the hell out of dodge without the care or concern for anyone else but themselves!
Much of their policy seems to be based on the idea that the poor, the unwed, and their children are bad people who need to be "put straight," and that means through deprivation and loss of identity. The children were to be forced to start life over as completely new people, to make up for the "original sin" of being adoptees. This is so critical, "for their own good," that social workers think they're entitled to lie in order to make it happen.
They seemed more like child "affliction" services. :( Humans have always been and still are so heartless, many don't understand or know parental love, sad world we live in!
I agree back then and I asumme even today those Child protection people just love to brake up familes. ok so everyone back then and today are not rich and are poor but the parents for the most part do the best they can. just annoying as hell when they put the children up for adoption then hide all records of it. That's why I'm glad with Unsolved Mysteries over the years they helped many reunite with their familes.
I wonder if the college had handled Richard's visit to the school differently, 3 hours before he shot Tonya, if this story could have had a different outcome. They suspected he may have a gun in his manilla package and all the decision makers ran off and avoided him, even making the secretary phone him with the denial. They knew he had an explosive temper. Seems cowardly. smh, sad
@janejayne8152 STILL not HER fault and her connections wouldn't have gotten him no different outcome.she CAN'T make the whole entire community rule in his favor...why go after HER INSTEAD of just driving to the dean's house if he was so hellbent on "getting" someone?🤔😒
Yeah can you imagine what a horrible doctor he'd be...oh crap was he just a chemistry student? I forgot...but anyway I think I know why they kicked him out of college!
It's believed many people with a personality disorder are drawn to the field of medicine...the God/Messiah complex that can often come with it with the power over life and death.....now jokingly hello...Dr. Lecter? Lol
i've heard when he murdered tanja richard bocklege was showing early signs of paranoid schizophrenia. he was also a total hothead. it would be very difficult for somebody like that to fly low and avoid the radar for very long so i'd guess he either went off the grid pretty fast or more likely he committed suicide.
MACABRE L.A. where did you hear that from? I’ve wondered that. I’m trying to find as much info on the case but there just isn’t much. I have family from there even who worked at the hospital with her so this case has always been a interest.
MACABRE L.A. I have heard that, too. I am 60-65% sure that Richard is still alive, but from my experience with working with the mentally ill, those with schizophrenia have difficulty taking care of themselves, so he may not have had any mental health treatment. I think, though, that he was sane at the time of the killing. Evidence shows he planned the murder at least two days in advance, which shows me he had a lot of time to plan how to drop from sight, too.
The story about Paul was just very horrible- when your family doesn’t know anything and 11 days later his friend die in an airplane crash but a different number than what showed listed.
the actor who played 'BOCKLAGE' did a great job. i obviously never knew the man but i can very well picture that's what he was really like. from what i understand when he murdered his girlfriend he was already showing signs of paranoid schizophrenia. i'd guess he either suicided and the body was never found or he just ended up homeless and living off the grid which is why he was never found.
Paul had to have all his teeth extracted... I mean with??? The dude obviously had radiation poisoning. Atomic tests, fallout, blotches on skin. Isn't it ironic how the military is based respect and honor and they totally Dishonored this poor soldier..
...yea was thinking that. He probably had other health issues if they had to extract all his teeth. Probably impotent at the very least. At the worst, the army probably knew he only had a bit of time left before cancer kicked in and killed him. Maybe they did send him out of the country on a "secret mission" knowing he would die there. Hid the truth from his family, but it probably happened to many other soldiers that worked at the nuclear test site. Just another example of the army sweeping it's failures under the rug. But the truth will come out one day.
I don't understand why social services or the officials even entered into the situation with Gary if his mother & the other family he stayed with had made the agreement to keep Gary!! Why was social services able to just come take him away?
Pls tell my why when people escaped from Prison in the states, once caught they are sent back to serve their REMAINING terms only? No additional terms for the break out?? Not surprise every convict is trying to escape...
A lesson for men who leave their wives for stunningly pretty ladies.. Jim left his wife for her and unfortunately for him, he paid the ultimate price. Grass is never greener.
Social Service sucks you had a child in a good home and you pulled him from that hm just bec the women was a single women but she had neighbors and family that would have helped her until the mother could get back on her feet shame on them. Poor Catherine one day you will see Gary in Heaven you will have all the time you need to let him know how much you loved and missed him
First time I've ever recognised an actor in an episode :-) I'm pretty sure that's Holmes Osborne (who played Donnie Darko's dad in the film of the same name) playing the Assistant Dean in the Richard Bocklage segment.
Is the dean that talked to Richard the actor that played Donnie Darko's dad (Holmes Osborne)?? That totally jumped out at me - I know some actors had bit roles in re-enactments.
FLORIDA GATOR I remember it well too even tho I was a young child but I recall it because my family lived there and worked at the hospital. Were you a local too?

Florence Winch LaValley passed away in 1994.
What is it with people today and Robert Stacks. He was a good actor who's voice carried a presence itself. Not a creepy guy with a creepy voice, I never once got that impression from him and I was a kid when this show first aired on TV. Of course I did grow up watching horror movies and loved them and all, but that's besides the point. He was a good actor and the show was great.
I hope authorities will make an age progression of Richard Bocklage of what he might look like in his 60s.
Any photo of Burt Reynolds would do.
There is an obit for Richard bocklage from 2010. Said he was from St. Louis which would be right.
Most likely hes dead rotting in hell
Kane6676 no that was for someone who was born in the 1920s and a reverend or preacher or something.
8thleo Stellium oh ok I did not see a birthdate on the obit
Scary to think Richard was never caught. He'd be 64 this year.
@@trentcruise3084
Really? If so you should report that to authorities if you know him
@@trentcruise3084 wtf lol, report the fker
Oh wow 😳😳😳
The conductor says "come on up to the train" *in stacks voice* they were never heard from again
Jerry* dum bass
Robert had the perfect narrating voice for this show. Also think the theme music is still one of the most haunting tunes ever recorded.
My grandmother and her brothers were abandoned by their father (or taken away) and put in an orphanage during the depression or possibly a little earlier. My father found this out recently; she had always told him that they were orphans from Poland, not that they had been orphaned here in the US. She was old enough to remember her father when she was orphaned, so that probably played a part in why she didn’t discuss it (she died about 20 years ago.)
My dad wasn’t able to find out why their father couldn’t keep them. My great-uncles then spent their lives being close to the orphanage and doing all sorts of work for them and the children for decades. Several books about the orphan system in Chicago talked about my great-uncles.
I don’t know what was going on in the child “protective” system back then. Seems like every episode on UM has some awful story about families being separated unfairly. Now that I know I have a family link to the orphanages at that time, I’m going to start reading up on it more.
It's been 2 years. Did you find out anything
@@woodworkingandepoxy643 I did read a book about that particular orphanage from man who lived there as a kid. He didn’t say anything about families being separated unfairly. He didn’t mention anyone getting adopted out of there at all, which was a little weird (I don’t think they had babies there, so maybe nobody wanted kids older than toddlers). He said there was one major creep who tried to entice the young kids. He didn’t claim there was anything systematic about that.
The orphanage had reunions occasionally and the majority of the students there had good things to say about their lives in the orphanage. The place was torn down in the 90s.
@@woodworkingandepoxy643 good question have they?
The Gary segment is one of the most heartbreaking child adoption ones this show has ever done. They didn't even explain how freaking child services got involved someone must have reported that poor boy who clearly waa loved so sad he's not been found
So sad….bless these children who have suffered and lost loved ones.
That's sad that there was no update on that case.
This theme song is my ringtone
What a bizarre case that last story is. It has so many unexpected twists. Astarte was quite a character. Knowing her past, I think it’s safe to say she killed Jim. His body was never found and he was declared legally dead in 1988. Astarte is probably dead today. She’d be in her late 80s.
She isn't dead, she turned 90 this year and still doing illegal things
No "social worker" would ever take my child.
You'll do as you're told.
They would force you ..if you refuse they will bring the police and you would be arrested 😔
its not your child its the company's child
I work with Social service they don't do crap. Let kids stay in abusive homes until they're dead or molested to death. Believe me if they take a kid, that kid definitely needed to be taken because they let so much go
Alina Mitchelson i work for social services too but not cps different dept and i agree- the caseloads for cps are so high that the case workers can’t keep up and if they do take a child away it has to be really really bad
“And I figured he saw something in her that *I* didn’t see.” 😂

We should go back through all of these old series and start solving the unsolved cases. Call it: SOLVED UNSOLVED MYSTERIES.
Just classify everyone who dies on leave a deserter, save a shitmillion on military pensions...
a friend of mine in the military said nowadays they have to prove you're a deserter back then they could label you as one anytime they wanted. and judging by UM they did alot back then. and you're probably right it saved them having to pay out benefits to the families.
Regarding Paul W. I knew a man, then in his 80's, who had been in the military and been set in a ditch with a sack lunch along with 40 others, to witness an atomic bomb tower test in Nevada. He had terrible radiation burns on his head plus cancer, from the heat wave from the bomb sweeping over the soldiers, then boomeranging back from the mountains over them again. He tried to sue the military....his name and all the soldiers in the ditch names had been erased from any records.
Astounding that they haven't caught Richard Bocklage yet...and no current age-enhanced photo of him
Yeah. Barring him getting a terminal illness or an accident, he would be in his 70s and still alive.
Bocklage would be 63 if still alive. He was born in 1957. He shot Tanya in the head, drove to Canada and disappeared. How can someone just vanish like that?
daboys1215 : carefully, using smarts and research. Lol if someone really wanted to disappear and they were smart enough about it, they coukd do it
If you are stupid enough to shoot someone in the head getting out of their car, I doubt they could be smart enough to evade the police for 40 years. He had to have had help from someone.
@@daboys1215 well, he just DID. so i guess he won
Robert Stack must’ve done a ton of traveling
I loved watching these In 90s wow
He couldn't take a TOY?!
It's like the *goal* was psychological damage.
Richard's like a lot of college kids now
To think if only little Gary's dad would have decided not to abandon his family. He could have married Kathryn and this shattered dream would never have happened. It all began with a thought.....sad.

Lol my name is Richard
Nixon.
Unsolved Mysteries has taught me that the child welfare system had absolutely no concern for the welfare of children. Watching these now in 2022/2023 is so depressing to see how many families were ripped apart and children unfairly placed into the system/adopted out some of them never reunited.
This still happens today
It hits harder when you learn of Epstein Island and watch "Sound of Freedom".
No shit Sherlock!!
@@EdmacZgo back to watching porn and anime
Very true, DCF is a business and doesn’t care about the families!
At 7:09 all I can think of is, sucks to be a receptionist on that day! I like how the COMMITTEE MEMBERS handed that off & got the hell out of dodge without the care or concern for anyone else but themselves!
Paul Whipke seemingly knew about something that the military could not let the public discover. Likely something related to extraterrestrials.
Seriously the child "protection" services on this show... seems like they're hellbent on causing as much pain and trauma as possible.
Ann Nee Not much difference in real life unfortunately
Nothing seems to have changed. I really don’t understand how they are okay to separate children from each other.
Much of their policy seems to be based on the idea that the poor, the unwed, and their children are bad people who need to be "put straight," and that means through deprivation and loss of identity. The children were to be forced to start life over as completely new people, to make up for the "original sin" of being adoptees. This is so critical, "for their own good," that social workers think they're entitled to lie in order to make it happen.
They seemed more like child "affliction" services. :( Humans have always been and still are so heartless, many don't understand or know parental love, sad world we live in!
I agree back then and I asumme even today those Child protection people just love to brake up familes. ok so everyone back then and today are not rich and are poor but the parents for the most part do the best they can. just annoying as hell when they put the children up for adoption then hide all records of it.
That's why I'm glad with Unsolved Mysteries over the years they helped many reunite with their familes.
I wonder if the college had handled Richard's visit to the school differently, 3 hours before he shot Tonya, if this story could have had a different outcome. They suspected he may have a gun in his manilla package and all the decision makers ran off and avoided him, even making the secretary phone him with the denial. They knew he had an explosive temper. Seems cowardly. smh, sad
Exactly! “Cowardly”... couldn’t have said it better myself!
damn, richard bocklage got away with murder. UNSOLVED
Absolutely. They failed to act accordingly. Everything screamed “get the police involved” yet they ignored it and handled it horribly.
@janejayne8152 STILL not HER fault and her connections wouldn't have gotten him no different outcome.she CAN'T make the whole entire community rule in his favor...why go after HER INSTEAD of just driving to the dean's house if he was so hellbent on "getting" someone?🤔😒
Any woman that thinks she is a godess of love is trouble!
Richard sounds like a typical hot headed narcissist.
Yeah can you imagine what a horrible doctor he'd be...oh crap was he just a chemistry student? I forgot...but anyway I think I know why they kicked him out of college!
Yeah but he has not surfaced in anything else in 40 years!! So hot could his head be?
@@drstrangelove9455 he’s probably dead. It wouldn’t surprise me if he committed suicide shortly after he abandoned his car
It's believed many people with a personality disorder are drawn to the field of medicine...the God/Messiah complex that can often come with it with the power over life and death.....now jokingly hello...Dr. Lecter? Lol
@@tharealmikezee3165 he was in School to be a pharmacist
Robert Stack the best!
Paul Wipkey, looked like the Men In Black interviewing him.
i've heard when he murdered tanja richard bocklege was showing early signs of paranoid schizophrenia. he was also a total hothead. it would be very difficult for somebody like that to fly low and avoid the radar for very long so i'd guess he either went off the grid pretty fast or more likely he committed suicide.
MACABRE L.A. where did you hear that from? I’ve wondered that. I’m trying to find as much info on the case but there just isn’t much. I have family from there even who worked at the hospital with her so this case has always been a interest.
8thleo Stellium Really? Interesting. Was Tanja as nice as she seemed?
MACABRE L.A. I have heard that, too. I am 60-65% sure that Richard is still alive, but from my experience with working with the mentally ill, those with schizophrenia have difficulty taking care of themselves, so he may not have had any mental health treatment.
I think, though, that he was sane at the time of the killing. Evidence shows he planned the murder at least two days in advance, which shows me he had a lot of time to plan how to drop from sight, too.
I think the same thing! He probably committed suicide. The entire story is so sad!
Wicked scumbag
And Astarte seems alive yet....I googled her and nothing!
The story about Paul was just very horrible- when your family doesn’t know anything and 11 days later his friend die in an airplane crash but a different number than what showed listed.
I love this show I wish this will come back on the air again it was good show to watch as a family 👪 🙏 ❤ 💙 💕 ☺ 👪
the actor who played 'BOCKLAGE' did a great job. i obviously never knew the man but i can very well picture that's what he was really like. from what i understand when he murdered his girlfriend he was already showing signs of paranoid schizophrenia. i'd guess he either suicided and the body was never found or he just ended up homeless and living off the grid which is why he was never found.
Astarte the homewrecker killed him
Paul had to have all his teeth extracted... I mean with??? The dude obviously had radiation poisoning. Atomic tests, fallout, blotches on skin. Isn't it ironic how the military is based respect and honor and they totally Dishonored this poor soldier..
...yea was thinking that. He probably had other health issues if they had to extract all his teeth. Probably impotent at the very least. At the worst, the army probably knew he only had a bit of time left before cancer kicked in and killed him. Maybe they did send him out of the country on a "secret mission" knowing he would die there. Hid the truth from his family, but it probably happened to many other soldiers that worked at the nuclear test site. Just another example of the army sweeping it's failures under the rug. But the truth will come out one day.
Gary=perfectly happy. Welfare worker=No, he's got to go!
I don't understand the "times" not accepting that the friend isn't married. Was Gary happy, well adjusted? If so leave it be.
So she don’t get extra jail time for escaping 🤦🏽♀️
Yes, she had to serve an additional year
Robert Stack the man with the 'Voice'
I hate when families are torn apart. 😞 Idk why friends or family just can't keep the children.
Why the HELL take a child away from an already happy place. FFS man!!
Richard looks 45
I don't understand why social services or the officials even entered into the situation with Gary if his mother & the other family he stayed with had made the agreement to keep Gary!! Why was social services able to just come take him away?
Yep, too much government interference never ends well
How did the county even get involved and know about Gary living with the Winches?
Pls tell my why when people escaped from Prison in the states, once caught they are sent back to serve their REMAINING terms only? No additional terms for the break out?? Not surprise every convict is trying to escape...
Whipkey could've ended up at Groom Lake test flying secret projects, or just some secret op that went fubar and we'll never know.
Say what you will about Astarte, but she is definitely consistent.
A lesson for men who leave their wives for stunningly pretty ladies.. Jim left his wife for her and unfortunately for him, he paid the ultimate price. Grass is never greener.
Social Service sucks you had a child in a good home and you pulled him from that hm just bec the women was a single women but she had neighbors and family that would have helped her until the mother could get back on her feet shame on them. Poor Catherine one day you will see Gary in Heaven you will have all the time you need to let him know how much you loved and missed him
How did CPS know the little boy was with that family to begin with ???
I assume since they filled out foster parent papers. They probably needed government assistance.
5:32 Well, if it isn't the Dad from Donnie Darko!
Unintentional ASMR at 4:00. She has a very calming voice.
First time I've ever recognised an actor in an episode :-) I'm pretty sure that's Holmes Osborne (who played Donnie Darko's dad in the film of the same name) playing the Assistant Dean in the Richard Bocklage segment.
I thought that too! I called my husband over to check.
@@lisamarieligreci-newton7804 did he agree?
@@rbrowning9617 He thought so too. A few other people seem to have mentioned it so I think it is.
He’s from KC so it makes sense
TANYA WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN! STUNNING!!
Wow Richard was supposed to be 24 but looked 44!!!
Facial hair ages you.
And back in the day, people aged quicker than today
Richard was a cornball
More like a NUTball. 😕. Lol
Social Services - what a cruel system, why wouldn't you leave this child with a loving family, the only one he knew.
They never find richard bockladge ???
Still missing, 42 years later.
Is the dean that talked to Richard the actor that played Donnie Darko's dad (Holmes Osborne)?? That totally jumped out at me - I know some actors had bit roles in re-enactments.
Yes!
The army wouldn't take a car and just leave it out in the desert.
Maybe...maybe not. People do stupid stuff.
10:05 Can I appreciate the fact that the stamp is really dope👍.
The United States Government knows exactly what happened to Paul.
He did all that over some damn school?!! The fckn nutcases, I swear!
The Govt killed him, duh.
Men in Black.
Richard Bocklage, remember this episode well
FLORIDA GATOR I remember it well too even tho I was a young child but I recall it because my family lived there and worked at the hospital. Were you a local too?
