She has not reported them missing and the couple have recently been questioned by police. As this story unfolded on "Dateline." Another person has died connected to Lori. 

Second - The children have not been heard from and they haven't talked to their grandparents, friends or relatives. When "Dateline" tracked Lori down. The kids were not with her. She has expressed some cult-like behavior too. What is going on?

Below is the video where "Dateline" tracked down Lori and her husband.

Part 10: A Movie Marathon Tribute to KIRK DOUGLAS

THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER from CAMBRIDGE PRODUCTIONS. (1982). This is considered a classic film from the 1980's. It was a box office hit nabbing $50 million at the world wide box office. Kirk Douglas landed the dual role of twins "Harrison" & "Spur". Burt Lancaster and Robert Mitchum were also considered for those parts. Douglas was the big name star attached and there were some grumblings about him being the "only" American in the cast.

Douglas was funny as "Spur."

A young man loses his father in death and has to earn his place in the high mountains of Australia. He knows horses and is tied to the wild horses that roam those mountains. He falls in love with the daughter of a rancher. They both struggle with the past and the present involving those beautiful untamed horses.

Part 9: A Movie Marathon Tribute to KIRK DOUGLAS

LAST TRAIN FROM GUN HILL from BRYNA PRODUCTIONS (1959). Movie westerns in the 1950's were a dime-a-dozen. That includes television. If you didn't have a big movie star and a good screenplay. You were sunk. This western was a hit at the box office. 

Kirk Douglas (Matt Morgan) and Anthony Quinn (Craig Belden) grew up together and are best friends. Matt becomes a US Marshal in another town. Craig is a rancher who owns the town of Gun Hill. Matt's Cherokee Indian wife is raped and murdered. He tracks her killer down and is gonna escort him back to jail on the last train which leaves Gun Hill. 

This reminds me of a Radio "Gunsmoke" episode. Nonetheless, it delivers. I've watched this so many times because of Kirk Douglas.

Part 8: A Movie Marathon Tribute to KIRK DOUGLAS

LUST FOR LIFE from MGM. (1956). In his autobiography - Kirk Douglas claimed that he couldn't shake the character of tormented artist Vincent van Gogh. When the camera stopped rolling. He took Vincent back home with him and his wife Anne noticed it. Douglas completely disappeared into this role and it wasn't because he looked exactly like Vincent either. It tormented him because he was a trained "theatre" actor and not a "method" actor. 

Kirk received his third best actor Oscar nomination - but didn't win. Anthony Quinn portrayed artist Paul Gauguin and won the best supporting actor Oscar that year. It was also Oscar nominated for best art direction (color) - but didn't win. The film captured the magnificent color "art-work" of Van Gogh through his life. He never sold a painting until after his suicide. 

If you are an "Art" fan. Check out this movie.

Part 7: A Movie Marathon Tribute to KIRK DOUGLAS

SPARTACUS from BRYNA PRODUCTIONS (1960). Kirk Douglas passed away last week at the age of 103. He was the head of his own production company named after his mother. This 3-hour epic film won 4 Oscars and earned a whopping $60 million at the world-wide box office. A record for its' time (1960) with Universal Pictures that distributed the movie. Douglas was already known to film audiences, but this made him near immortal for generations.

Douglas portrays an illiterate slave named Spartacus who leads a revolt against Rome. All in the name of "freedom." He is respected by his army when they defend him against identity by yelling, "I'm Spartacus!" This phrase was screamed in movie theaters across the world. 

There are wonderful performances here, but it is Sir Lawrence Olivier as Crassus who makes an indelible portrait. He is a top-ranking Roman soldier who fears Spartacus and stops at nothing to capture him. Crassus even wanted Varinia (Jean Simmons) to love him instead of Spartacus. It was implied that Crassus was bi-sexual, but the censors cut a bathing scene between him and a male slave.
