In 1997 there had been a string of robbery/homicides throughout some of the fast food restaurants around Nashville Tennessee. The perpetrator always had the employees empty the safe, before he would take their lives, and swipe the tape out of the surveillance cameras. The plan was to not leave any evidence behind and especially no witnesses. But in March of 1997, the fast food killer unknowingly left behind a witness named Jose Gonzalez.

Episode 93: Abduction of Carolynne Watson and Julian Buchwald

Julian and Carolynne had been dating for 2 years, and planned to have a picnic on the 1200 acre property that Julian's mom owned in Budgeree, Australia. They were having a great time by the casual, yet natural, 10 foot waterfall at the end of one of the trails. They were supposed to be home in a couple of hours, and wanting to be on time, they packed up and headed out. On the way back, Julian was looking for some roadkill that he saw on the way in so that he could get a closer look at what it was. He stopped at the end of the road, asking Carolynne if it was ok if he went to look. She agreed as long as he came back quickly. Julian was gone for 5 minutes, then 10, as Carolyn started to worry about what had happened. Right before she was about to get out of the car, she saw a man dressed in all black sprinting toward the car in her rearview mirror. Before she could even react, he had pulled her out of the car, and hog tied her.

Eastern Airline's Flight 401 from New York to Miami was about to touch down, when their landing gear malfunctioned. The crew promptly engaged autopilot and climbed back to 2000 feet to try and fix the problem. Eventually, after failing to fix the gear immediately, they had to send someone down underneath the plane to manually check. Unbeknownst to the crew, the autopilot had been disengaged, and the plane was slowly losing altitude. The descent was so gradual that no one had noticed, until it was too late.
