Transcripts For KGO Nightline 20140308 : vimarsana.com

Tonight the case of snag and wallace. From new york city, this is nightline with cynthia mcfadden. Good evening. We begin with breaking news tonight. A Malaysia Airlines flight with 239 people onboard, including four americans, has gone missing. At this hour, a desperate search is under way for mh flight 370 which departed kuala lumur at 12 41 a. M. Local time and was due to land in beijing at 6 30 a. M. Air Traffic Control lost contact with the plane two hours after takeoff. Whether the disappearance is due to mechanical problems, pilot error, or even terrorism is yet to be determined. Abcs Gloria Riviera is at the beijing airport with the latest. Here at beijing international airport, it was more than four hours before officials announced anyone awaiting word on flight 370 should head back to beijing to meet with representatives from Malaysia Airlines. We saw many Chinese Police here dispatched to keep control, as so many wanted answers when they were none. The boeing 777 aircraft, similar to the one pictured here was carrying 239 people from malaysias capital to beijing. Chinese state media reports radar contact with the plane was lost in Vietnamese Air space. The airline confirms four americans onboard, one of them a child. In total there were 14 different nationalities on the flight. As the day wore on, families in tears, lacking information. The beijingbound flight departed kuala lumpur was scheduled to land in beijing at 6 30 a. M. It went missing two hours into the flight. At the airport in beijing the arrivals board listed the flight as delayed. This is very rare. For an airplane to disappear is not normal. I think we have at this hour every reason to expect that this is not going to be a good outcome. A big airplane like this, losing radar contact, it usually ends up in tragedy. It would be over water for most of its trip. So theres a chance that this aircraft went down in the water, which is going to make rescue or make the Recovery Efforts that much harder. Reporter Malaysian Airlines announced the tragedy on its facebook page. The airlines ceo saying, we deeply regret that we have lost all contact with flight mh 370. This type of jet, the boeing 777 has a nearly spotless Safety Record since it began flying in 1995. Though last summer, it was an Asiana Airlines boeing 777 that crashed while landing in san francisco, killing three passengers. Fornightline, gloria rivera, abc news, beijing. Our thanks to gloria rivera. Because flight 370 was a boeing aircraft, it is likely that american aviation authorities and the manufacturer will be involved in some way in the investigation going forward. Abc news will of course stay on this developing story and keep you updated with all the latest. Now were moving closer to home, the american west, where things are still more wild than you might realize. Police say fugitive cowboys are stealing cattle because, well, theyre valuable. And were there for a bust straight out of a hollywood western, as two suspected crime rings collide. Heres abcs nick watt. Reporter chief gary flowers is his name, catching cattle thieves is his game. With big eddie, gritty patrick and the boys, they are the cowboy cops. Tonight in the case of mccoys missing cattle, they are on the hunt for snag and wallace, two cowboys they say have crossed to the dark side. Flowers and his men leave no stone unturned in their hunt for the perpetrators of this crime now blighting the west. Large domestic animal, which is cattle theft. Reporter were talking cattle rustling. A crime straight out of a john wayne western. I i dont expect to get there with one single head of beef. Reporter and a crime back on the rise in 21st century america. The west is still wild. Were talking rawhide meets breaking bad. These outlaws stealing the farm equipment, cattle and stuff are using drugs. Reporter yep, hes saying meth addicts are stealing cattle worth around 1,000 each to finance their habits. Cattle rustling is a crime now dirtying up what i though was no longer the wild west. Nightline obtained this startling Surveillance Footage of a major cow heist up in missouri. Thieves backed a big rig up to the cow pen and, one by one, coaxed the unsuspecting cattle onto the trailer. Cows make for easy money. They snatched the whole herd except for this last guy, left mooing for his buddies. If it was up to me, id fix it so they wouldnt steal any more. Cut a hand off or something. Reporter yep, thats jet mccoy of amazing race fame and a very recent victim of cattle rustlers. Being a cowboy is what he is and his daddy before him. Have you ever done anything else . No, i have never done anything else. I cant see myself doing anything else. You dont want to move to new york city and work in fashion . No. No. I mean, this is just what i do. Reporter its his cattle that are missing. They were taken gradually, about 100 head stolen in all. It took a while before mccoy even noticed they were gone. You cant be watching them all the time. Yeah, you cant be. Thats the thing. Unless you have a shepherd on them 24 7. Take a plane up to make sure they hadnt wandered onto neighboring property. To a man like mccoy, 100,000 worth of stolen cattle is serious business. Its no surprise to me in the old days when they found somebody stealing cattle and horses they just strung them up. Reporter just like in the movie hang em high. These days the penalty is three to ten years in jail for each animal stolen. Its still a serious crime. Jerry flowers and his nine agents make up a crack unit dedicated to tracking down cattle thieves. Like modern day wyatt earps, these cowboy cops patrol oklahomas vast prairies and cattle ranches. Were not all hat and no cattle. Were the real deal. Reporter when mccoys cows went missing, flowers and his cattle cops swung into action. The criminals that we are arresting out here in these rural crimes in the middle of nowhere are the same criminals theyre arresting in cities like Oklahoma City and tulsa and los angeles, even new york. Theyre all criminals. Reporter and based on the word around the campfire, theyre on the trail of these guys. David wallace and larry smith, aka snag. Both work as ranch hands in the area. If we can put the pressure on the outlaws down there, somebody will call us and tell us where snag is, get the pressure off of them. That will be the plan, buddy. Well go and get in the hunt. I know both of them. One of the guys worked here on the ranch. Snag and wallace have been around cattle all their life. And quite frankly, theyre pretty good cowboys back in their days. But their downfall was they got strung out on dope. Reporter the cops say snag and wallace, known felons, have left a paper trail here at the stockyards. They used their own names to sell the stolen cattle. Chief flowers put his posse on their tails. We started to develop information about these two individuals taking cattle and billing them into the livestock market as a token. Reporter selling stolen cattle is easier than you might think. Markets like this move thousands of head a week, and a lot of them arent even branded. Someone gets their cattle stolen, its hard to identify. Ive had people call and say, hey, jerry, i had a couple of my steer stolen. What do they look like . Well, theyre 500pound black steers. Special agent patrick. Check the motels. My guys are putting in 12 to 14 hours a day on this. Were eating on the run. Were not getting any sleep. Were not seeing our families and of course, you know, thats what we get paid to do. Reporter finally, a break in the case. Apparently there was a blue car sitting there with a paper tag. It had the name David Wallace on it. Thats David Wallace. Take your feet out. Do that. Turn around right there. Reporter for wallace, the jig was up. Ive been getting up every morning for over 40 years doing this. This right here today is the reason why. Now David Wallace, being in jail, thats excellent news. Having a guy roaming the country thats capable of stealing that many cattle kind of makes a fellow nervous. We saw the pt cruiser, and he was running 80, 85 miles an hour. He was trying to get away. Reporter he could, they say, be cooling those heels in the joint for 25 years if hes convicted. Flowers and his men caught up with wallaces rustling partner snag a week later. Now both are awaiting trial and have yet to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty. As long as there are cattle, are people going to try and steal them . Yes. Thats right. It will never end. Its going to be something thats been here hundreds of years and its going to stay here. I still enjoy every morning getting up and pulling my boots on and enjoy the thrill of the hunt, going out and chase these outlaws. Reporter modern day american heros with more than just a whiff of a bygone era. Im nick watt for nightline in oklahoma. Our thanks to nick watt for that report. Well be right back. bag shaking vo bring the thrill of the catch. Straight to their bowl, with friskies seafood sensations. Now with new shrimp flavor. Friskies. Feed the senses.

Im agent jay martin bellamy. But this is no ordinary missing childs case. Arcadia . 8yearold jacob says hes from the small town of arcadia. My son died 32 years ago. But when he rooifs arrives a home of the langstons, theres an incredible twist. Daddy honey, who is it . Jay sob . What if someone you lost returned. This is the provocative question at the heart of abcs drama resurrection. Theyre seeing their own child who died 32 years before. You can imagine the mix, the sort of stew of emotions. You feels by belief, elation, fear. The show attempts to explore an impossible phenomenon in an impossible way. Part investigative mystery, part fliler, the thought provoking thriller turns out into a story line that turns chilling, heart warming and deeply philosophical. Its a deeply compelling theme because it is universal, it is wish fulfillment. Youre constantly being asked to question your assumptions about the show. Francis fisher plays jacobs mother. Of. As a person who has lost another beloved, weve all wanted to have just one more day, one more moment to say the things that we wanted to say. Critics and theologians alike say the buzz over resurrection is no surprise. We just want to be around. We dont really want to die. Yes. Its just an avoid dance of the truth of mortality. The concept of bodily resurrection, life after death is at the heart of one of the worlds oldest and most revered stories of all time, the story of jesus christ. I traveled to jerusalem a beck cade ago to visit the place where christians believe this world changing phenomenon occurred. So this is where the bodies would be laid, basically fit first into yeah. And then once the body was inside, it would have been sealed up. The belief in jesus resurrection is profound. Lazareth rocks out of the tomb. Theyre shocked. Reporter elijah rose the people from the dead to the hindu concept of reincarnation to the islamic faith looking forward to the day of resurrecti resurrection. Why are we so obsessed with the concept of resurrection . In every story that we tell practically, theres a moment the story leads to some kind of death. But were not content to end it there. No story end there. Thats where hope looks. The most classic mythological figure is the phoenix. From the living board rising from the ashes in the fifth century b. C. To modern times in batman the dark knight rises. We see resurrection played out in symbolic ways. He literally is brought down in kind of a near death experience and has to climb up, to be resurrected to come back and save gotham. Resurrection even appears in beloved childrens stories like harry potter. He has this death experience where hes given another chance. Hes sort of given a second life. Hollywoods fascination with the dead returning to life isnt always so redempive. There are characters like frankenstein about reanimation. Its alive reporter its a physical event . Yeah. However, might not be the same body we had. There are differences. Reporter those differences lead to troubling questions for theologians and artists alike. Are we resurrected as our best self with our wounds healed . As an 8yearold, even if 32 years have passed. Can i have another Grilled Cheese . Of course you can. Abcs resurrection is inspired by a best sells book by jason mott. Jason had a dream his grandmother who had died years ago suddenly was sitting at the breakfast table when he came down. I was so moved by it i had to adapt it for television. I can only assumed hes been coach popped. Of course he has. All i want is the truth. I will need to see records, reports, autopsies. Even christian believers struggle to understand. Not even john knew how he got here on this earth. The towns pastor endures a crisis of faith. We really tackle the nature of beliefs in this show. What would you do if everything you believed turned out to be wrong. Ultimately zellman says resurrection is a contempt place about loss, whether we let it heal us or destroy us. That boy is ours. Our boy died 32 years ago. Theres a lot of overlap between literature and art and film and story telling with bigger questions, spiritual questions. I do think its healthy and important that we continue through our lives to ask these big questions. For nightline, im Elizabeth Vargas in new york. Our thanks to elizabeth.
