>> mccarty: my first instinct was, of course, is unleash the hounds of hell. let's go after the a them for the unconscionable, indefensible behavior that was going on. >> stahl: he says some of the policies are worth more than a million dollars. but most are valued at less than $10,000. >> joseph bigony: morning, joe! >> stahl: as a result of the audits, joseph bigony of west virginia recently got a long- overdue payment of more than $5,000 from his sister's policy. >> bigony: i was the she died in june of 1990, and we didn't know anything about this at all. >> jeff atwater: you're talking about millions of policies. >> stahl: millions? >> atwater: hundreds of thousands of policies that we're dealing with just here in florida. >> stahl: jeff atwater is the chief financial officer of florida in charge of regulating the state's insurance industry. >> atwater: you can assume from what we have found that the policies that should have paid out in the '60s, in the '70s, in the '80s, in the '90s were never paid. >> stahl: and you're saying it's part of their plan? looked at, leslie, it would be hard to imagine. this is not a small dollar amount. these are billions of dollars that now stay in the investment accounts of these insurance companies rather than return money to those families. >> stahl: tell us some of the big names. >> atwater: it would be all the large brand names that you're familiar with: john hancock, metlife, prudential. many of these companies have sat down with us and made right. >> stahl: no one disputes that the insurers pay out on policies when the beneficiary files a florida, many of the companies routinely and deliberately disregarded evidence in their own files that the policyholders had died. unless someone filed a claim, he says, the companies would cancel the policy and keep the death benefit for themselves. >> mccarty: here's a life insurance policy that's issued in florida in january 2002. the insurer died in april of 2008. insurance company's file, a copy, a scanned copy, of the death certificate. and the accompanying envelope which displayed the spouse's return address. >> stahl: with the spouse's address on it. >> mccarty: it's right here. >> stahl: let me see. >> mccarty: less than one month after the death the policy was terminated for non-payment. >> stahl: industry lobbyists, like this one at a recent hearing in florida, argue that the burden falls on the beneficiaries. >> lobbyist: we all enter into sign that contract, you're obligated to know what's in it. >> stahl: the companies argue that in the policies that these people signed, it says, black and white, that they have to make the claim and show up with a copy or the policy itself. and if they don't do that, we don't have an obligation. >> mccarty: but florida law says something too. and you have to look at it not just in terms of the contract, but to your responsibilities under the florida insurance code.an investigate a claim if you know someone has died. and if you have a letter that says you're deceased, you have actual knowledge the person has died. >> stahl: insurance companies are regulated separately by each state and he says similar laws are on the books across the country. >> you see right there? >> stahl: state regulators first got wind of the insurance industry practice from jim hartley and jeff drubner who run a technology and auditing based on an insider tip in 2006, drubner, employing techniques he had used as an f.b.i. agent, combed through insurance company data and discovered that the insurers were routinely using the social security death master file, which is a constantly- updated list of people who have died in the united states. what was the significance to you that they were using the death master file for something? >> jeff drubner: i knew at that point that they kn >> stahl: they knew who was alive and dead, is what you're saying? >> drubner: yeah, because they know who they've insured and if they have a list of everybody that's passed away, i knew that they knew. >> stahl: what was the next step? >> jim hartley: the next step was to speak to the states. there wasn't one treasurer, one controller or one attorney general who didn't have a reaction that this shouldn't be allowed to happen and we have to fix it. >> stahl: drubner went on to discover that most insurance companies used the death master file only when it was to their or retirement payments once the policyholder died. but they didn't then notify the life insurance side of the company. >> mccarty: we have actual cases, leslie, where a policyholder had both an annuity and a life policy. and they terminated the annuity, and of course they knew the person was dead, so they-- so-- >> stahl: claimed over here that they didn't know he was dead? >> mccarty: leslie, when we went in and looked at the memos, the right side told the left side and the other side said-- >> stahl: and you saw it in the audits? you would just see it-- >> mccarty: we saw it in the audits. >> stahl: something else they saw in the audits related to "whole life" insurance policies, that in addition to a death benefit build up a cash nest egg, like a 401k. what they found is that when a beneficiary did not come forward, the company continued to pay themselves premiums out of the dead person's nest egg. instance, the nest egg was drained down more than $9,000 to zero after the person had died. california controller betty yee says that kind of siphoning off was widespread in cases where beneficiaries did not come forward. >> betty yee: how can you not be outraged by this? >> stahl: she says that in about a third of the cases, there was evidence of death in the file. >> yee: here we have a policyholder. >> stahl: is this the actual file that you saw with the word >> yee: yes, yes. "deceased" with the date of death. >> stahl: and still they didn't- - they didn't stop paying themselves. >> yee: no, no. and you would've thought with that kind of indication, a next step would be to confirm that by looking at the death master file and beginning the claims process with the family member. >> stahl: and they didn't. >> yee: they didn't. >> stahl: when the cash was all used up, the companies cancelled the policy. under the law, they're allowed to pay themselves premiums using cash while they're alive. florida's mccarty says the law was originally intended as a way to protect consumers. >> mccarty: for instance, if you have a life policy and you lose your job and you can't make your premium payment, they will take some of the cash value that's built up in your policy and pay the premium. which is great for consumer protection. >> stahl: but in this situation, after they died... >> mccarty: i think it's tantamount to stealing when you know in yooo the person is dead and you drain the policy. now if you think about that, if you would have explained that trying to sell that policy at the beginning-- >> stahl: at the beginning. >> mccarty: you're sitting in your kitchen and saying, you know, you've got all these symbols of security and financial stability and we're going to be there for you with your family in their grief, but they say, "oh, by the way. if you stick that policy in a shoe box and stick it in your going to look for you, but we're gonna to take all the cash value in it, and-- >> stahl: give it back to the company. >> mccarty: give it back to the company. and leave your beneficiary with nothing. here, sign here. >> stahl: the 25 insurance companies that have settled with the states admitted no wrongdoing, but agreed to pay out more than $7.5 billion, either directly to the unpaid beneficiaries or to the states, which then try to find the beneficiaries by phone. >> we have received some funds from an insurance company that's in your name. >> stahl: or online. >> thousands of oklahomans are owed money from life insurance policies. >> stahl: none of the life insurance companies we contacted would give us an interview, but speaking on their behalf, the industry trade association, the american council of life insurers, told us quote: "most life insurers are going well beyond what the law requires to identify policy owners who have ken miller, the treasurer of oklahoma, says there are still about 35 insurance companies that have not settled and some are fighting tooth and nail. at stake, he says, is up to $3 billion more in unclaimed benefits nationwide. who's fighting the hardest? >> ken miller: kemper is the main one. >> stahl: kemper, a chicago- based insurance company, has been pushing for legislation around the country that would kemper to go back and search for unpaid beneficiaries. when we called kemper, they referred us to steve weisbart of the insurance information institute, who says making companies like kemper pay now would be unfair. >> steve weisbart: if we can say, "do something today that you didn't expect to do and didn't plan to do and didn't collect money to do 30 years ago," what else can we say today that they should be doing it's potentially an open door. >> stahl: a slippery slope is what you're saying? >> weisbart: a slippery slope. >> stahl: kemper has argued in court filings that it's never used the death master file to identify deceased policyholders and that finding and paying their beneficiaries now would result in "a substantial financial loss" and require the company to "...substanially alter its business practices." >> miller: if your model is built upon the fact that you're not going to pay a dead person's loved ones for a policy that they've completely paid in full, to me that's just a bad policy. >> stahl: an oklahoma woman, sherry sanders, didn't know about her husband's policy until about a year ago when, because of a settlement, she got a check worth $22,000. we asked oklahoma treasurer miller how much an insurance company can make by holding on to the $22,000. >> miller: well, leslie, now you've hit on something that's because that's what this is all about. this is about money. that $22,000 invested for 50 years at an 8% return becomes $1.2 million. >> stahl: that the company gets because it sat there? >> miller: and that's just one small policy. if you expand that over all the policies that's just due to my state, it's a tremendous amount of money, billions and billions of dollars. >> stahl: the american council of life insurers says that the industry has paid out more than over the last ten years, so the companies are doing a good job. >> miller: i don't think we should pat them on the back for doing what they're supposed to do. >> stahl: but the companies say that this is only 1% of the life insurance policies. >> miller: then why fight it? if it's so inconsequential, if it's such a small amount, then why be spending your reputation them? >> stahl: since our broadcast first aired, 11 additional life insurance companies holding about a billion dollars in unclaimed policies have either agreed to pay back death benefits or have entered into settlement talks to do so. kemper is not one of those companies, and, in states like california, florida and illinois, it continues to fight audits and legislation requiring insurance companies to pay off you're that guy who switched to sprint. sprint's network reliability is now within 1% of verizon. and sprint saves you 50% on most national carrier rates. don't let a 1% difference cost you twice as much. ? ? ? ? ? >> lara logan: the holocaust is marked and memorialized at places like auschwitz, bergen victims were executed in fields and forests and ravines, places that were not named and remain mostly unmarked today. they were slaughtered in mass shootings and buried in mass graves in the former soviet union, where, until very recently, little had been done to find them. as we reported last october, our story is about a man who's brought these crimes of the holocaust to light. he is not a historian or a detective or a jew. he's a french catholic priest named father patrick desbois, and, for the past 15 years, he's been tracking down the sites where many of the victims lie and searching for witnesses who are still alive, many of whom had never been asked before to describe the horrors they had seen more than 70 years ago. >> patrick desbois: the general order was to eliminate the last jew, even the baby, even the old mommy. >> logan: so it was a policy of total annihilation. >> desbois: total annihilation, and if hitler didn't lose the war, i think today will not be one jew alive. >> logan: father patrick desbois is on a mission across eastern europe to find hitler's hidden killing fields. before him lies a continent of extermination. these mass graves and extermination sites, many of them are invisible? >> desbois: yeah, totally invisible. under a corn field, unde yeah, yeah. >> logan: and many of them would never be recorded. >> desbois: and never be recorded and still buried like animals. >> logan: we traveled with father desbois to the former soviet republic of moldova, where, in one day, he took us to four unmarked mass graves. in this field, he told us, 60 jews; beneath this farm, 100; above this city, under this hill, 1,000. still here. >> logan: thousands of eyewitnesses, millions of documents, and 15 years of investigating have led him to more than 1,700 execution sites. once in ukraine, under the supervision of a rabbi, he excavated one. jewish tradition forbids moving the dead once buried, and the evidence was just beneath the surface. officially a place where no jew have been killed, and we found 17 mass graves. >> logan: and what did you find when you excavated...? >> desbois: you find everything. you see a mother with handing his boy until the end. and the boy try to go out. you see that another one was buried alive, so she had the mouth open because she was buried with the earth. >> logan: in june 1941, hitler invaded the soviet union. just behind his frontline troops were mobile death squads known was to hunt down every last jew. they methodically entered villages, rounded up jewish families, and marched them to freshly dug graves. some of the remains are buried beneath this mound in lithuania. the assassins reached even the most remote corners, like hiriseni, a tiny village in moldova. so, when the killers came here, they really had only one purpose. >> desbois: only one goal-- kill the jews and the gypsies. only one goal ys >> logan: the village is virtually unchanged since the nazis stormed through here. father desbois's team had gone ahead of us, searching for eyewitnesses to a 70-year-old crime. they were led to an 85-year-old named gheorghe, still working in this vineyard. father desbois told us the first question they ask is always the same... >> desbois: "were you here during the war?" and if the person says, "yes," >> logan: gheorghe was 11 years old then, and he still remembers what he witnessed. >> gheorghe ( translated ): as soon as they came, they locked everyone up. i saw them taking them away. >> logan: he asked him where the jews were killed. >> gheorghe: it's a ravine over there. come and see, if you want. >> logan: so what you're learning here is completely unrecorded? >> desbois: yeah, if we didn't come, we'll never know they killed jews. these jews would have never been counted as dead, never known, and the mass grave is totally unknown. >> logan: gheorghe broughts all the jewish families from the village were taken. he told us the day of the shooting, he was tending to cows nearby. now, 70 years later, we watched as he traced the victims steps to the edge of the ravine. >> gheorghe: the jews were facing the ditch, so they were shooting them in the back of their heads or their backs to fall into the ditch. >> logan: he said it was a beautiful day exactly... >> desbois: a beautiful day... >> logan: ...like this one. >> desbois: ...like today. >> logan: with the sunshine. >> desbois: with the sunshine, yeah. >> logan: when you're doing this, when you're here and in a place like this, do you ever stop and think, "how did i get here?" >> desbois: no, always, i say to people, "finally, we found you. finally, we came back." >> logan: father desbois leads no congregation-- he considers his search for these jewish you're not your typical priest. >> desbois: i don't know if there is a typical priest. ( laughs ) i think everybody has to make his way. the pope also is not a typical pope. but he's a pope. and i'm not a typical priest. but i am a priest. >> logan: with the blessing of his cardinal and the vatican, he created, in 2004, the organization yahad-in-unum-- "together as one." >> desbois: we began, so the first thing is to get the map... team begins by combing through millions of pages of german documents, comparing them to soviet archives that only became available after the collapse of the soviet union. they search for clues that lead them to villages where witnesses point them to mass graves. they always record and archive the witness testimonies. >> logan: to date they have recorded over 4,000 witnesses, who were children at the time. many were recruited by the nazis or local police to dig the mass graves, or to take the gold teeth, jewelry, and clothing of what have we learned about the holocaust that we didn't know before you began your investigations? >> desbois: i learned a lot about humanity. i learned everybody can be a killer, anybody can be a victim. i learned that you like to see other people dying in front of you, killed by other people, when you are sure you will not be killed. >> logan: it was a dramatic finding-- that villagers chose to watch people being lined up and murdered, a revelation he would never have come to were it not for his grandfather, claudius desbois. he was held as a prisoner of war but he never wanted to talk about it. father desbois was drawn to the village to find out what happened there. he made repeated trips, but no one would talk to him, until one night when the mayor took him to the edge of the forest where 50 elderly villagers were waiting. >> desbois: and he said, "patrick, i bring you at the mass grave of the last 1,500 jews of rava-ruska," like in a movie. >> logan: one by one, they told you their stories, what they witnessed. >> desbois: 50. >> logan: 50 of them. >> desbois: and me, i couldn't bear it. i stopped them, i... everyone in the middle. i say, "ah, it's enough. it's enough. the pieces of woman in the tree, it's enough. it's enough for you." and they cried, and they went. i found finally what my grandfather never say. i say, "they shot the jews in public, and everybody knew. and surely my grandfather saw that." and... but that's it. i was in total shock. everybody told me, and i have read many books about the secrets of holocaust. and in soviet union, everybody told me they knew nothing and... because it was secret. >> logan: what he learned disturbed him. the killings were spectacles. they took place in broad daylight in front of entire villages. >> desbois: they were fighting to have a good place like... like for circus. >> logan: there's no way you couldn't have known. >> desbois: not only that, but they were running when they heard when they were killing jews, to see, to try to catch a coin, to check out your clothes, to take a picture. they wanted to be there. >> logan: this photo of a mass shooting is from the imperial war museum archives in london, dated september 14, 1941. >> desbois: and it's a ditch. here we have a woman with a child. >> logan: you don't see any spectators, but father desbois suspected the crowd was just outside the frame. he followed the picture to the brought him to the home of 81- year-old anatoli, who was eight back then. he said he was at the massacre, alongside his mother. >> anatoli ( translated ): we were standing somewhere here. and here were the trenches, here they were falling. >> logan: the carnage lasted two weeks. dimitri, then 16, said he was there, too. he told us he watched from a tree as the nazis and collaborators fired on groups of 20 people at a time. many jews have been killed like that? >> translator: it was about 18- and-a-half thousand people. >> logan: a number much higher than the official records, which doesn't surprise father desbois, who says the death tolls are often under-reported. the bodies are right behind dimitri's house in these 11 mass graves, one of the few jewish >> desbois: i never saw one like that among the 1,700 extermination sites where i've been. >> logan: no one has shined more light on this dark chapter than father desbois, according to paul shapiro, the director of advance studies at the u.s. holocaust memorial museum, who also sits on yahad's scientific board. >> paul shapiro: the method that he's used, extraordinary. we can understand minute by minute what happened in hundreds of localities where before we just had fog. >> logan: how reliable is his work? >> shapiro: he has opened the door to the use of multiple sources to understand what really happened on the ground in a big part of europe. >> desbois: the babies were shot, too. >> logan: we found father desbois a cautious and skeptical interviewer. >> dimitri ( translated ): when her to hold the baby in sight. first, they shot the baby and then her. >> logan: he never judged or showed emotion as he listened to the darkest accounts of humanity. father desbois insists that every killing site they find is memorialized by recording the gps coordinates. they never physically mark the graves because, he says, people would loot them. father desbois believes, when his work is finished, the number more than has been previously documented. but the number, he says, is less important than giving meaning to their lives. sometimes in a small village, he'll find a witness, like 80- year-old anatoli, who remembers not only the death of his jewish neighbors, but their names. >> anatoli: brick, gorovich, shurman, and folst. waiting for us in 70 years and now we are here. every time i come with my team, i say, "they are waiting for us." >> logan: it did seem like he was waiting for you. >> desbois: yes, like the dead. >> this cbs sports update is brought to you by the lincoln motor company. at the john deere classic, ryan moore won for fifth time of his career on the pga tour at at the rio game, justin rose won first gold medal in golf since 1904. simone biles easily captured the women's vault. and in men's basketball, the united states edged france 100-97. for more sports news information, go to cbssports.com. woman: it's been a journey to get where i am. and i didn't get here alone. there were people who listened along the way. people who gave me options. kept me on track. r got left behind. so today, i'm prepared for anything we may want tomorrow to be. every someday needs a plan. let's talk about your old 401(k) today. at safelite, we know how busy life can be. these kids were headed to their first dance recital... ...when their windshield got cracked... ...but they couldn't miss the show. so dad went to the new safelite-dot-com. safelite-dot-com is the fast, easy way to schedule service anywhere in america! so you don't have to miss a thing. y'all did wonderful! that's another safelite advantage. >> rose: there is nothing like formula one in terms of global popularity, glamour and speed. it is considered the pinnacle of motor sports. most americans haven't heard of its biggest star. his name is lewis hamilton. as we first told you last winter, even if car races aren't inspiring story of beating the odds and breaking through barriers. but if you do like speed, buckle up because you're about to experience the indescribable rush of driving one of the fastest race cars on the planet. >> lewis hamilton: nothing can really prepare you for when you get in the formula one car. knowing that you're driving a multi-million dollar car, and if you crash it, it's going to cost a lot of money and they mi not give you another chance, is scary. >> rose: it is said that you're at one with the car. >> hamilton: yeah. it's like you're strapped to a rocket. i mean, it's like, "how do you control this rocket?" it's like a raging bull. it's wild. it's sexy. it's fast. >> rose: lewis hamilton was the fastest in 2008, when he clinched his first world championship at the brazilian grand prix. >> you will never see a more dramatic conclusion to any motor >> rose: no one in the crowd was more proud than his father and manager, anthony hamilton. he was only 23; at the time, the youngest champion in the history of the sport. today, hamilton's 49 career victories put him third on the formula one all-time list, and the englishman is only 31 years old. >> hamilton: i want to crush everyone. i want to outsmart everyone. >> rose: you want tosh >> rose: at the italian grand prix last september, he did just that as the ferrari faithful and the cream of european society looked on. hamilton in his mercedes was the ultimate driving machine, winning the pole position, recording the fastest lap, and leading the race from start to finish. >> congratulations, lewis. >> rose: in racing, that's so relaxed, it was as if he had just driven around the block. so, how does it feel, this one? >> hamilton: this weekend is the best i've ever had. i've never been quickest in every session and all qualifying sessions and the race. i've never, ever done that. >> rose: worldwide, formula one generated more than $2 billion last season, but remains a niche sport in the united states. f1 executives hope hamilton can change that. they have never seen a star like him before. how many black drivers in formula one? >> hamilton: one. >> rose: why is that? >> hamilton: well, i don't know. i think, in the future, there'll be more. >> rose: you're a role model? >> hamilton: i hope so. >> rose: you are, in fact, the face of formula one. you're the guy. so, all of a sudden, formula one looks to you and says, you know... >> hamilton: "we need you." >> rose: "we need you." they need you. >> hamilton: well, i think we need each other. >> rose: no race car driver becomes a champion without a team... and a fast car. we went to mercedes' f1 headquarters in england to see the one hamilton drove in 2014. you said the top speed of this one is what? >> hamilton: 200... 220, 230. >> rose: how does that compare to indy or nascar? >> hamilton: well, tca >> hamilton: kill them. the speed in which we get to... to a 100 miles an hour is probably similar to... to an indy car. but it's what this car does through a corner. it's like a fighter jet on wheels. >> rose: the aerodynamic wings of the car allow it to hug the ground and take corners at over 100 miles an hour. hamilton says the forces can be five times his body weight, or he drives to the limit, and sometimes beyond, like when he blew a tire qualifying for the 2007 european grand prix. what's it like to hit the wall? >> hamilton: the journey towards it is kind of exciting. >> rose: really? what makes it exciting? >> hamilton: because you lose control. >> rose: and yet, there's an exhilaration when it's out of control for you. >> hamilton: true, yeah. i... i can't really explain that. >> rose: perhaps it's because hamilton has never been seou a generation ago, one or more drivers could die each season, like his hero, ayrton senna. it's considerably safer today. >> hamilton: it is. formula one was a very dangerous sport. it still is dangerous, but the danger factor is also the exciting part. >> rose: it wasn't possible to drive in hamilton's race car, so we borrowed the fastest ride we could find. this is the fastest mercedes? >> rose: nine miles from the team's base is silverstone, home of the british grand prix. we drove straight onto the same track where hamilton has won four times. what are we at now, about 100? >> hamilton: doing 140 right now. >> rose: 140? i'm on one of the great ce greatest driver in the world. how good is that? >> hamilton: this is good fun. >> rose: and my heart is somewhere up around my ears. unbelievable, lewis. but tell me about driving. talk to me about what you're doing. >> hamilton: i know that i have to hit the curve right here, so there's... there's an ideal apex... >> rose: see there, that's not >> hamilton: you press the music? >> rose: ( laughs ) i did. i hit... oh, boy, that was my heart. races are won and lost in the turns. drivers are looking for the most efficient angle or line through each one. >> hamilton: so what you're trying to do when you're driving a racecar, you notice there's lines i'm taking. so right now, the next one is the left. so i'm going to be as far over to the right as possible. >> rose: so it's going to be a left. so you're going to be as far as you can to the right? >> hamilton: yeah. and basically, you want to make... you want to turn as tt >> rose: you want to turn as little as possible? >> hamilton: yeah. >> rose: yeah. >> rose: do they make too much of this idea that great drivers can feel it throughout their body? >> hamilton: yeah. i can feel it, but i know my... i know my boundaries. i know the limits to the car. >> rose: before lewis hamilton was old enough to drive, he was already a racing prodigy. he got his first remote control car at age five. peter". >> and we have a winner! who won the race? lewis, well done! >> rose: and then he got a second-hand go-kart for christmas from his father, anthony hamilton. >> anthony hamilton: it's quite a unique story. because normally, racing drivers come from a long line of, you know, previous successful sports people. but here we were, just a normal family. all of a sudden, we've got this young, precocious talent. and not only that, you know, we're the only black family on the grid. not only that, lesser equipment to others... >> rose: six years old, and he said, "i want to be a formula one racer." >> anthony hamilton: yeah. that's all he ever said till he got there. >> rose: while other kids played, young lewis drove. in only his second year racing go-karts, hamilton became the champion of britain. >> anthony hamilton: and it's like, "hang on. lewis can become a british karting champion with his father as mechanic, then the world is his oyster." >> rose: and what did you know about racing?
