Patrick Garland Crump was a man who lived nearby a military installation where electromagnetic experiments were taking place. One particular experiment involving extremely low frequencies caused his wife, Vicky Jenkins Crump, to begin experiencing intense head pains, as though the frequency was in resonance with her skull. The only way to alleviate her excruciating pain was to drive at high speed away from the underground antenna system being used for the experiment. Crump's flight from his home led police on a chase across Nevada, where he was stopped by a spike strip. While being apprehended by police officers who believed they were dealing with a hostage situation, his wife was kept immobile long enough for the frequency in her skull to make it explode.
