Potential savings were vary discounts not available in all states and situations.

You guys came by jack seal numbers. Kit Allen, know how I know it's there is a car inside IT, says Allen ross.

And you're listening to two men finding something they dread IT a scene from an edgy film, a true story conceive, written and directed in desperation. The director, german filmmaker Christian bowl IT.

was like a board tanks I didn't want to get pulled into.

This is his friend Cameron Allen road of chicago. Off in the bon dex, Allen and Christian worked on seven films together, expLoring their shared fascination with life on the friend. But in this production, Allen would not be the camera man this time, the man behind the camera would be the subject, because Allen had suddenly and inexplicably disappeared. Why make a film of every missing friend?

Because I wanted to find out, on a gut level, I had been afraid of approaching this project for a long time. And I think this kind of fear accompanying us through the whole project.

fear. Because forty two year old alan ross had vanished in late nineteen and ninety five, and the last years of his life, while seemingly filled with romance, spiritual growth and an american gothic style existence, had more truthfully been closed in mystery, intrigue and danger in the grasp of a shadow group, you could even begin to understand his friends from the film world, helpless, decided to try to find their friend by making a film called missing out.

IT could have been like simply a couple of weeks where the work, who knew? I mean, I had no idea where this always gonna go.

Joining Christian was gay on a mercian. She'd also known Allen as a colleague, beloved by many in chicago. s. Hard, scrambled, but tightly in film unity.

alan was witty and charming, and he did all of us favors. He'd be there with his camera, working long hours.

working hard. Christian, almost in the sense of a row shock, testify, say the name alan rosy. What are the images, the emotions, the ideas that come to mind?

And there's this quirky guy he looks like a college student horrent classes um his own stand of clothing from second hand stores and he has the specific laughter which is so unique to him he chuckles. I think we inspired each other. And he was one of those camera man where, you know, you're always getting something Better than what you would have thought of yourself.

That was on the the technical side, on the human side. L was a hard worker. He worked long hours. He never got tia. He Carried around his own equipment.

Allen was an artist. He at first picked up a film camera as a teenager in the suburbs of chicago, and soon made his mark with the acclaimed grandfathers trilogy, chronicling the last few months of his grandfather's life. We got that more.

As an adult, he'd moved into a loft downtown and lived the bohemian and life, barely scraping by driving a cab when he needed cash pursuing his art. Alan met Christian, and their collaboration began working on films that touched on their mutual interest in the odd and on explain from a wall street broker turned monk to UFO objectives. Only one thing I seem could compare with Allen's love for film IT was his love for the city, for chicago, its people, its action. But in nineteen and ninety three, Allen, the artist, the seeker, found a love that seemed the matches, love of film and his city. Her name was Linda Brown .

told me that he was a nurse, that SHE now was writing books, one of those books he had illustrated, and he told me that he was very happy.

What surprised everyone was not that Allen was in love, but that he was leaving chicago.

This is bad. I've never been happier. And what you say to your brother than if you, he says, i've never been happier in my life.

Allen's twin brother bread was as shocked as anyone to hear Allen was leaving the town he loved and for a rural oklahoma.

I just said, you know, i'm happy for you. If you're that happy out.

go for IT. It's right.

If it's the last time, I don't care if you're that happy. Hello, that's all I care about .

so Allen and Linda left for oklahoman, settling in gathering a small town about thirty miles outside oklahoma city. As was his custom, Allen kept in touch with family and friends by postcard. Trouble was, this time the postcards that started arriving from oklahoma were a little odd, even for alan.

to sending me little notes, like I seized the opportunity to seek answers for questions I had not been able to ask.

Sounds like alone.

very much not .

surprising. huh?

There are thanks. Why I like him, you know, because you could be so unusual and quirky.

There are some other s some posters that made you wonder what was going with you.

Like the masters will shut you up in a pen with others, then I will be up to you to find a house to enter.

By ninety and ninety five, two years after moving to oklahoma, IT seemed all but certain that this time Allen was not coming back. In fact, Allen and Linda had found a new home in shi, an y oma. Yet Allen continued working with Christian, making films. And in the fall of one thousand nine hundred and ninety five, just this filming on a documentary on the mississippi river was wrapping up in the orleans who showed up unannounced. IT was the mystery woman, Linda, who west Allen at a town before his family and friends had even met her.

He was not what I had expected her to be about her demand.

Or is that appearance?

SHE was very demanding. SHE was very controlling. SHE was not the Carrying kind of woman I in had imagined her to be when I saw that on the picture the first time.

In fact, Allen seemed embarrassed by her presence. When SHE mug for his camera, Allen panned away.

He's telling her, stay away from us. But SHE follows the camera and then he dances. He wants to get away from IT, and he continues his pen, and SHE is disappears out of the frame. Two years into .

their partnership was the bloom coming off. The romance between Allen and Linda. Christian would never get the chance to ask his friend about IT.

He would never see Allen again for Allen's brother too. After the shoot in new orleans, something suddenly changed. Allen had stop sending postcards or returning grade phone calls.

He would never miss a holiday, never miss a birthday. So when thanksgiving came and we didn't hear from him, that was, that was just like.

unbelievable weeks later. Christmas.

Yeah, then Christmas was the real turning point, because we know how would miss Christmas.

What had happened to Allen, his family and film world friends were about to discover that Allen's life had, in fact, taken a far more sinister turn than any a scrip rider could imagine.

By early ninety ninety six, IT had been week since filmmaker Allan ross had spoken to his friends or family urban, seen in shy, and my oma, his friends in the film world, Christian bowler in gay on emerging, tried successfully to reach him, but they also remembered Allen chit chatting once about how easy IT would be to simply vanish and establish a new life. Maybe that's what this was all about.

I was hoping that by some bizarre chance, I might get a phone call and he'd say, you know, I don't want you to find me, just lay off.

Allen's twin brother bread in chicago had also attempted to reach chAllenge. He'd also called the shine police, looking for some reasonable explanation why his brother had seemingly disappeared from the home Allen had shared with the mysterious Linda, the nursing author who was his common law wife. Did you ask the police to go to the house and ask some questions? Yes.

what they say to that bother, you know, they didn't really take me too seriously.

But china police finally did make a move. Three months after Allen's disappearance, they'd received a call out of the blue from a man who said he was lind's x husband, a man named denis Green. He made the stunning claim that Allen wasn't missing, but dead, murdered by Linda and buried, he told police in the basement of a couple's home, lind's x husson said, look in the basement of what happened.

They looked around and they found nothing.

Allen's friends and family breath a sigh relief. They could not bring themselves to believe that he was truly dead, and they couldn't find his common law wife, Linda. So they asked themselves, had they somehow missed a message in those cryptic postcards and alan used to send, maybe he vanished on purpose, gone undercover, perhaps to shoot film.

The family hired a private detective, even psychos, but still no answers. In hindsight, there is almost universal regret that they didn't do more, didn't go out to, I want me to look for, but they didn't. In fact.

IT wasn't until nineteen and ninety nine, four years after Allen's disappearance, that the filmmaker's friends and family formed a partnership to try to find out, with the family doing the research, filmmakers, the network and the project would take a form that Allen would have loved, a film that would be part mystery, part out to the man they all missed. So you're using your documentarian and camera almost as a search light, to show IT into some dark places.

I had been missing him for four years, and there was no way that there was going to be an official investigation in the case was closed. More or less. The only way to find out something about him, about his disappearance, about his fake, was to month this documentary, and to start looking for him with the camera. This is Linda handwriting.

And almost as soon as their work began, their facts machine was jm, with documents including a letter at scene written by Linda herself.

After I was shot, he was drag, perhaps downstage. I saw the Dennis Carried two sets of concrete, which year by the back door .

the mysterious Linda IT appeared, was now confirming that Allen was dead but in her version, SHE turned the tables on the man who accused her of murdering Allen Linda said the real killer was in fact her x husband, denis Green. Information IT turns out china police had received by facts from Linda as well. The filmmakers knew now that they not only had to reach her, they had to learn as much as they could about this perplexing woman alan loved.

They discovered her legal name was in the Green in the one thousand nine and eighty. SHE was a registered nurse featured in the nineteen and eighty's new's story about an innovative oklahoma hospice where he works. Linda has also been married not just twice, but five times.

And SHE wasn't just writing books, sometime actress and poet. When SHE met Allen, he was leading an esoteric group that Allen had only drop hints about, a group known as the summary, an foundation. When did you first hear the name samaritans?

You know, we heard IT, uh, when he left .

the your sense of what ever about.

you know, we always knew l would do different things, but he always would go. In quebec.

lind's semarang, an foundation had perhaps fifty to sixty followers from all walks of life. What held them together was the belief that Linda could answer the great mysteries of life by dowsing, using swing pendulum to give them answers. This was more than the dowsing that might come to mind, say, a person using a fourth k to locate water.

This kind of douzen involved moving a pendillion m over objects. And the pendulum m gave the summarize guidance in making the biggest and smallest decisions. They used the pendulum to decide to relocate from oklahoma yami.

They dowsed a road map packed up. But Linda was more than a simple believer. SHE was writing books. The summary ans were sure, would revolutionized the world to their way of thinking. Can you see your friend Allen drawn into this insane .

obsessiveness? At one point, Allen SAT me down and showed me a pendulum, and I just didn't get IT. I didn't see what the reaction was for him.

This wasn't just a part. Again.

the way he was treating IT, he definitely gave me the impression that he was. He thought that this meant something.

and the bits and pieces that filmmakers learned about in this group were becoming more troubling. IT turned out that dowsing was just one element of their beliefs. There was also an obsessive here of telephones and government agents, obscure teachings about zombies, far out stuff. Linda, the nurse, the wife posing by their little house, was a lead of a cult.

I had absolutely no clue, and I wondered, why did my friend not tell me about IT having beer?

Some nights I hear this interesting thing is common in my life.

What do you make of IT? He never told me anything.

You know, talk that candidly, certainly about subjects with the u. fs.

And you even so, IT would have been quite Normal to mention to me. But he did not. And I later learned that alan had dose the question, should I tell a Christ about IT? And the dosing rot of the penguin told him, don't tell him. So doors were closing .

in your relationship and you weren't a worret?

absolutely. And you know, when I learned about when i'm disappeared and they went, was no sign of life from him, IT was like, I had to find out what's behind this wall, which he didn't allow me to cross. And that's why I had to start my investigation too.

What was the lura of the cult .

to the followers? What is the law of any cult? Might be a good question. I think we have people who looking for a meaning in life and they don't have any answers. I think that was what was happening with alto in london.

had answers and text and the path to .

o and SHE choose him as her mate.

Could Allans may have murdered him. The filmmakers didn't know where Linda head gone and the samaritan she'd LED from oklahoma yoomy had scattered to the win. And the film kers weren't learning much from the followers. They had been able to find how sensitive a task was IT to try and find out who the severance were in what they knew.

Well, sensitive isn't the word IT was difficult because people just didn't want to talk.

But the filmmakers soon found evidence that raised more questions. The cult awareness network told them if Allen was with the securitas, he was in serious danger. And the friends learned that just months after alan vanished, another member of the group had thrown herself in front of a train in oklahoman. Linda, they were told, had declared the woman to be evil.

There was this feeling that something evil was surrounding us.

Did you have reason to be afraid as you went along in this?

Sometimes you don't need a real reason to be afraid.

Despite their fears, the filmmakers pressed on to find out what had happened to our, and they'd have to return to the places where Allen and lynda had lived as man and wife.

Nobody has looked for Allan in oklahoman, the home state of the militants.

and oklahoma would quickly bring a major discovery.

He doesn't came. I check city numbers. If Allen.

you know how I know, IT out, there's a car inside that, says Allen ross. The filmmakers found the first tangible trace of Allen in the spring of two thousand. His film camera and other belongings found in a garage near a home in oklahoma. The people's door strangers had simply dropped off without explanations.

Ladies gave IT to me. L do with them.

The woman who had the camera also had an important detail.

This, the woman who lives next door.

The woman in the photos was SHE had lived next door for a short time after Allen's disappearance, but the discovery of Allen's camera was troubling. His friend said he had never be willingly separated from IT, and IT was just the first ominous sign they found in oklahoma. In an old building, there was once the samaritan's headquarters. The filmmakers found more indications that Allen was almost certainly dead, including his abandoned car .

we call bread else twin brother, and told him what .

we found within days. Bread are hoping to finally find his brother's body. Holding his bread, he searched the car.

Then inside the headquarters, bad and Christian searched the basement, where one of the room had been suspiciously covered with fresh concrete. What we expected, I wanted fight prints all, so I wanted to SHE is always buy only brother, that way I have one other, but I want to a kind of problem. So what people need to.

But brad would not find his brother there. The filmmakers then follow bad as he scoured the town for any sign of ala.

Like I said, he was even sick and he still got word to me. And now we have not got ten, one Christmas card, one birthday card, nothing.

But the emotional search had been fruitless. All the evidence seemed to indicate not only that Allen was dead, but that Linda had to know what happened. They simply had to find her. And when they did, this story of missing Allen would take another bizarre turn. Well.

you'll look at a long time for it's .

By the spring of two thousand that had been more than four years since camera man Allan ross had last been seen in had he been killed, as the evidence seemed to indicate by his common law wife Linda, or her followers in the cut like sa american foundation to the filmmakers, Allen's friends who had set out to find him IT seemed that Linda was on the run. They tried unsuccessfully for monster richer until one day he found them.

I am Christian speaking. Okay, jie, if i'm doing fine, are you lindy .

turned out the former nurse, amateur actress and author had reinvented herself again, calling from an unknown location. SHE now called herself self genevive. And although he had sent out facts, is claiming that Allen was murdered by iraq's husband in a series of conversations with the filmmakers. Then, to change your story again.

I read a facts by you saying that denis, your x husband had killed on. He buried him. Yes, so kill. And then .

once they go too far in the night to determined how all I am allowed to say.

it's top secret, the whole thing doesn't make much sense to hear the story, and is subject of a mind control experiment, and that the mind control experiment went out of hand, and that the specialists had to kill him because he was not longer under control.

The new story he told was odd, but maybe not so odd for her. IT turned out lizz family had had had her committed to a mental health facility for a few weeks shortly after .

Allen disappeared. SHE want us to stay away from the whole story because who was involved? The government? CIA.

And so this conspiracy theory.

and after that point, we are not able to get hold of a Linda anymore.

The filmmakers were devastated. After a months of work, they hadn't found Allen at all, only his camera, his abandoned car and a few possessions. With little hard evidence in hand, the filmmakers returned to the last place. Allen was seen giant ionic and met with the police.

Know, my fear is that. Dismembered Allen, either in the bathtub and in the the.

we try to give them everything. We found, all the information we have found.

his camera understanded bank account relationship with this woman, the odd group, the cheese sheering.

They listen to us intently, but they also told us that what we had brought to them would not be enough to take any further steps to .

a prosecutor, to a jury.

And for us, IT was important to get them back to the house. We wanted them to take the house apart to look for evidence.

but shine police had already searched the house where Allen, Linda and the summary ans lived four years before. So the filmmakers left wiring and headed back to begin to put their documentary together. Hope once again fading that the mystery of missing Allen might be so until Allen's brother bread stepped in and made one last desperate plea to a shy and detective.

he said, while go in the house one more time, he told us later, he said, bread, basically, that was IT. What if we would have gone in second time and found nothing? The case was going to be pretty much closed.

What did the detective see in the house?

He said he saw like a something just stick in out of the ground in the crown space. No, he said by the Grace guide IT was just, was just by luck.

Unbelievably, IT was a black sneaker. A converse high top foot are of choice for mavricks and non conformance like Allan ross. When police chipped away a thin layer of concrete, they found the body Allan was no longer missing.

You really do want to find party, your family, you know, you really want to back. I do. I, I really feel for the soldiers that are preceded action that they can go get to break him back. So real sense about that, be able to bear your family.

Brad ross would finally be able to lay his twin brother to rest. And autopsy showed that Allen had died from a single gunshot wound to the head and that his body had apparently never left the house, found where IT had been concealed more than four years before. In a crawl space, police who had searched the house earlier had inexplicably missing.

What do you think about the professionalism where the intensity of the wyoming investigation?

I think about all the evidence we might have been able to find if the police had found the body in nineteen ninety six, we might have the person who killed on ross now in jail.

the search for justice put the filmmakers back on the trail of Allen's common law wife, Linda. And in the spring of two thousand one, they finally caught up with her in the warrants. And he agreed to her first on camera interview.

beyond my framework, a reality, how somebody could do something so terrible no longer .

the viBrant, problematic leader. The years were now showing on Linda, and Linda returned to the story that Allen had been murdered on the day before thankfu, giving nineteen ninety five by her x husband, Dennis, during an argument in the house where the body had been found.

He killed down in most, he killed him, and then he said he would kill me in my son if I opened my mouth.

While Linda ten, you was grasp of reality, made IT hard to hang a murder charge on our word. Some detectors thought her theory of the motive for the murder did make a certain amount of sense. People who commit murder usually kill for love, money or revenge. In this case, Linda accused direct husband of killing Allen in an argument over money made from selling lind's books. Did you think he was telling you the truth?

What he was saying? It's hard for me to fail them. What the truth is as far as lind's concerned, because he had so many different versions. SHE rattled off during the course of the interview.

although authorities in shine question Linda, her statements LED to no charges. And a year later, in two thousand two, the actress, author, coat leader and murder suspect died of liver failure. Her family says he died from excessive drinking to quiet at the voices in her head. Linda's death that seemed threatened, the investigation with no physical evidence that her x husband had killed Allen with the case, die not yet, because after lind's death, a new mystery woman came from.

Sometimes you tonight, are you lying bed? And I just say, i'm sorry, i'm sorry.

Her name is Julia. For years, he was one of lind's most dedicated friends and a follower. In the years after allah's disappearance, SHE, like Linda, was repeatedly questioned by police. SHE told are often conflicting stories pointing the various suspects, but never to Linda, claiming to have knowledges of where the gun was buried but no gun was ever locate. And when deadline found Julia in shine, SHE was ready for the first time to give what he says is an eyewitness account to the events surrounding Allen's killing and to publicly acknowledged her role in the cover up after. So you do know who killed Allen?

Yes, sir, who was IT IT was in screen.

And what happened that day? you?

I was upstairs when I heard the first shot, and I came downstairs and I heard the second shot, and then I went into the room.

Dennis Green had a gun and shot to death. Alams.

yes, sir. I went into the room and he was there with the gun and .

done over the body.

Yes, sir. He said if I reported the murder that I would be the one to be accused.

He made a direct threat to you that you would be implicated.

Yes, sir.

First Linda, then joy, using denis Green of the murder, Julia saying he was willing to take the witness and against him while shaan police had publicly identify Green as a suspect, saying they could put him in the house the day of the murder and date line obtain documents showing the Green had failed a light detector test. Green denied to shy in police any involvement in the murder.

Can I talk to you? I've done this morphy with date line. Nbc, we're investigating the murder of Allan ross when we caught up with denis Green in may two thousand four. He was unwilling to speak with us. Family just wants another story here.

With the finger seeming to point to denis Green, the family of Allan ross was hoping for an arrest, but in november two thousand, for almost nine years to the day after Allen's disappearance, authorities in shane would finally take someone to court in the case, and IT would not be done as Green.

I was extremely .

shot by IT.

By two thousand, four authorities and wyoming had come to believe that on the day that camera man, alan ross, was shot, killed and buried in the basement of a shine home, three adults had been in the house. Allen's wife, a marin foundation leader, lde Green, now did herself. When does x husband Dennis Green and lind's best friend and follower, Julia Williams? And in this tangled web of a case, you'll recall Linda and Julia had accused denis Green of the murder, while Dennis Green said he believed Linda was the killer .

because IT is not in, said. But in november two thousand four, nearly nine years to the day Allan rosas murder, a trial would finally begin in shine, the first in connection with the killing and in the defendant chair that only julio Williams IT turns out that julio Williams had come forward to police after lind's death in two thousand two, telling essentially the same story.

He told the line, but with more detail, not only naming denis Green as the killer, but also admitting that he helped Carry Allan rosas body to the basement for barrier and cleaned up blood to conceal the murder. Now julio found herself in the odd position of being charged as an accessory, even though no one had ve been charged with the murder itself. The defenders charged as an accessory after the first. And as shinano prosecutor began his case, watching from the gallery where the two men still feeling Allen's loss most intensely, his film making partner Christian bowl and Allen's twin brother bread, the two who had waited years for answers, were for the first time in the same room with the defendant, whom prosecutors claimed was intimately involved with Allen's murder.

When i'm in the court room, i'm only seeing the back of her head, and I want to crawl into the head. I want to find out what's in there, the images. I am frightened of the images, but I want to know the truth, and he knows what happened. I want to make her tell us the real story here.

And the story that prosecutors had settled on was stunning to many who would follow the case that Julia Williams was still protecting. The real killer who the da had concluded after years of investigation was not in a screen, but in fact is x wife, the cold leader, Linda. The turn of events caught Allen's brother off again.

I was extremely shot IT. The surprise was just that they had eliminated in us completely.

And the surprises continued when the state called IT star witness, this Green, denis Green, took the stand for the prosecution. The man named by both Linda and you is the killer, once named as a suspect himselve. But now prosecutors were asserting that the man understand was innocent. Simply a person in the wrong place at the wrong time was the writer. And denis Green began by supplying a possible motor for Allen murder, testifying that in the weeks before Allen disappeared, Julia had complained that money from a company set up to sell in his books was being embassy.

Did SHE identified to you who he thought was doing that? Yes, he suspected Allan ross Greens said that when he left the home in mid afternoon, on the day that Allen was killed november twenty second and one hundred and ninety five, Allen was still alive and well. But in the following days and weeks, Green said, Linda began making every more bizarre excuses for Ellen's absence, that he'd left town, that he had run off with a new lover.

But Greens said Linda soon made a new accusation when her family had her committed to a psychiatric ward. When SHE was in the mental hospital, SHE accused me by a facts and by a phone call of killing Allen, which was worried ying to me, scary. And at that point, that's when I began to think.

But perhaps Allen in, run away. Perhaps they killed them in. That was a horrifying feeling, Green said. Linda also once told him that Allen had been murdered and buried in the basement of their home and he says that's when he contacted shi ann police to ask them to look for the body search, as we know now, in which the body was simply missed the Green then to bolster the state's claim that Linda, not Dennis, was the killer.

The couple sun took the stand, a boy of nine at the time of the murder, now in adult of eighteen. He testified that Linda always Carried a gun in her purse and once used IT in front of them. SHE told me to hide behind a rock, and he blew the lock off, free me out.
