00:09:25,937 --> 00:09:28,640
with my sister the night
that disappeared.

163
00:09:29,406 --> 00:09:31,573
It's strange to say that.

164
00:09:31,642 --> 00:09:35,680
Say: "I'm Stephen.
Jennifer's brother."

165
00:09:36,114 --> 00:09:37,282
I don't...

166
00:09:38,950 --> 00:09:39,952
I don't have...

167
00:09:41,718 --> 00:09:43,583
a reason to say that
actually.

168
00:09:44,221 --> 00:09:46,959
(STARTS ENGINE, ROAR)

169
00:09:49,860 --> 00:09:53,328
STEPHEN: I've been there.
for almost 10 years,

170
00:09:53,397 --> 00:09:56,368
trying to discover the truth
and what happened to Jennifer.

171
00:10:00,171 --> 00:10:03,906
I went to university
in the fall of '86.

172
00:10:03,975 --> 00:10:07,142
Jennifer disappeared
in February of '87,

173
00:10:07,211 --> 00:10:11,046
and what I remember is receiving
a call from my mother,

174
00:10:11,115 --> 00:10:14,483
wondering
if he had seen Jennifer.

175
00:10:14,552 --> 00:10:16,485
She thought
that had escaped

176
00:10:16,554 --> 00:10:18,219
and for some reason
could stop

177
00:10:18,288 --> 00:10:20,692
and go see me regardless
where he was.

178
00:10:21,791 --> 00:10:25,827
My mother was not hysterical
nor worried.

179
00:10:25,896 --> 00:10:29,264
He didn't express anything.
I remember asking questions

180
00:10:29,333 --> 00:10:32,100
and get no answers
especially good.

181
00:10:32,169 --> 00:10:34,403
When I tried to speak
about the topic with my mother,

182
00:10:34,472 --> 00:10:35,740
She just ignored him.

183
00:10:39,844 --> 00:10:40,809
-SHARON: Hello.
-Hello.

184
00:10:40,878 --> 00:10:41,844
JENNIFER'S FRIEND

185
00:10:41,913 --> 00:10:42,978
-Stephen.
-STEPHEN: Yes.

186
00:10:43,047 --> 00:10:44,513
-I'm glad to see you.
-I'm glad to see you.

187
00:10:44,582 --> 00:10:45,546
STEPHEN: Me too.

188
00:10:45,615 --> 00:10:49,279
I think I found...
I did this

189
00:10:49,348 --> 00:10:51,620
when we get angry.
(LAUGHS)

190
00:10:51,689 --> 00:10:52,854
-STEPHEN: I see. (LAUGHS)
-But...

191
00:10:52,923 --> 00:10:54,622
then we reconcile
because she wrote:

192
00:10:54,691 --> 00:10:56,157
-"Thank you very much, Sharon."
-Yes, it's funny.

193
00:10:56,226 --> 00:10:58,394
"Thank you very much, Sharon."
He had a good sense of humor.

194
00:10:58,463 --> 00:10:59,622
SHARON: Yes, that's right.

195
00:10:59,691 --> 00:11:01,764
"Sharon, thank you for
what you did to my photo.

196
00:11:01,833 --> 00:11:03,031
You have been a great friend

197
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:04,966
and although we have had
our ups and downs,

198
00:11:05,035 --> 00:11:07,803
we have surpassed them.
Get a boyfriend.

199
00:11:07,872 --> 00:11:09,304
I love you, Jenn Pandos."

200
00:11:09,373 --> 00:11:10,606
Yes, it's Jennifer's, right?

201
00:11:10,675 --> 00:11:11,874
-(LAUGHS)
-STEPHEN: Yes.

202
00:11:11,943 --> 00:11:14,042
And then, at school,

203
00:11:14,111 --> 00:11:15,711
you were talking
on the phone that night,

204
00:11:15,780 --> 00:11:17,079
when what happened happened.

205
00:11:17,148 --> 00:11:19,380
Can you tell me a little
more about that conversation?

206
00:11:19,449 --> 00:11:22,652
-Anything you remember.
-We were talking

207
00:11:22,721 --> 00:11:25,655
and your dad opened the door.

208
00:11:25,724 --> 00:11:26,789
I knew you opened the door

209
00:11:26,858 --> 00:11:28,556
and said, "Put the phone down."

210
00:11:28,625 --> 00:11:31,794
and she was
Like, "It's okay, Dad."

211
00:11:31,863 --> 00:11:33,289
The second time he came in,

212
00:11:33,358 --> 00:11:34,630
It was the second or third time,

213
00:11:34,699 --> 00:11:36,699
It was like, "Leave the... phone."

214
00:11:36,768 --> 00:11:38,761
or the damn phone."
I mean,

215
00:11:38,830 --> 00:11:42,371
It was a tone that had never been
heard your father use.

216
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,172
Clear.

217
00:11:43,241 --> 00:11:46,074
SHARON: It was the way
in which he screamed.

218
00:11:46,143 --> 00:11:48,944
-It could be intense. I say...
-It was intense.

219
00:11:49,013 --> 00:11:50,746
And she said:
"It's okay, Ronald."

220
00:11:50,815 --> 00:11:51,847
STEPHEN: Sure.

221
00:11:51,916 --> 00:11:53,581
"Oh, just a minute, Ronald."

222
00:11:53,650 --> 00:11:54,983
I remember that she
I called him Ronald.

223
00:11:55,052 --> 00:11:57,118
-STEPHEN: Very good, and that...
-And I thought: "Oh, my God."

224
00:11:57,187 --> 00:11:58,653
-STEPHEN: Yes.
-"He's going to kill you."

225
00:11:58,722 --> 00:12:00,455
-STEPHEN: Sure.
-SHARON: That should have been

226
00:12:00,524 --> 00:12:01,790
among the new
and ten.

227
00:12:01,859 --> 00:12:03,358
So we hung up the phone.

228
00:12:03,427 --> 00:12:06,061
And "see you tomorrow."
And the next day I waited for her...

229
00:12:06,130 --> 00:12:07,997
-STEPHEN: I see.
-...and she didn't show up.

230
00:12:08,066 --> 00:12:09,898
-So I called your house.
-STEPHEN: Okay.

231
00:12:09,967 --> 00:12:11,534
and your mom told me
that she was sick.

232
00:12:11,603 --> 00:12:12,935
-Yeah.
-SHARON: Okay.

233
00:12:13,004 --> 00:12:14,469
Again, the second day...

234
00:12:14,538 --> 00:12:15,738
-STEPHEN: Yes.
-...same,

235
00:12:15,807 --> 00:12:16,872
I waited for her.

236
00:12:16,941 --> 00:12:19,208
He didn't show up, I called the house

237
00:12:19,277 --> 00:12:22,878
and I think your mom said
who had gone out with your dad.

238
00:12:22,947 --> 00:12:24,813
And then on the third day,

239
00:12:24,882 --> 00:12:26,818
Your mom came to our house.

240
00:12:27,684 --> 00:12:30,853
And I remember that I was
in the kitchen

241
00:12:30,922 --> 00:12:34,055
and my mother opened the door,

242
00:12:34,124 --> 00:12:36,492
-and I heard your mother's voice.
-STEPHEN: Yes.

243
00:12:36,561 --> 00:12:37,859
I approached and thought:

244
00:12:37,928 --> 00:12:39,828
"Oh my God.
What happened to Jennifer?

245
00:12:39,897 --> 00:12:41,596
-Where is Jennifer?"
-STEPHEN: Sure.

246
00:12:41,665 --> 00:12:43,999
And your mom was like:
"We don't know,

247
00:12:44,068 --> 00:12:46,468
"She ran away."
I said, "What?

248
00:12:46,537 --> 00:12:47,769
Don't you know anything about her?"

249
00:12:47,838 --> 00:12:49,204
"No, we don't know anything about her."

250
00:12:49,273 --> 00:12:51,974
It was not the mother
worried, like:

251
00:12:52,043 --> 00:12:54,143
"My daughter is missing.
What am I going to do?"

252
00:12:54,212 --> 00:12:56,746
-Mm, no. No.
-TRUE? Okay.

253
00:12:56,815 --> 00:12:59,114
I say, Stephen,
She walked through the door.

254
00:12:59,183 --> 00:13:01,617
She was standing in the hallway.

255
00:13:01,686 --> 00:13:03,886
-Clear.
-He never took off his coat.

256
00:13:03,955 --> 00:13:06,755
At first I thought that only
had escaped.

257
00:13:06,824 --> 00:13:08,557
-STEPHEN: Yes.
-And he didn't tell me.

258
00:13:08,626 --> 00:13:10,058
I thought, "Who is this?"
this person?"

259
00:13:10,127 --> 00:13:12,122
-You didn't recognize her.
-Because we told each other everything.

260
00:13:12,191 --> 00:13:13,629
Yes, exactly.

261
00:13:13,698 --> 00:13:16,064
You told each other everything.
As...?

262
00:13:16,133 --> 00:13:20,201
How would you not know that she
I was having so many problems

263
00:13:20,270 --> 00:13:22,037
what would have felt
What should I flee?

264
00:13:22,106 --> 00:13:23,805
-That's how it is.
-She didn't take anything.

265
00:13:23,874 --> 00:13:25,407
nothing was missing
in his room.

266
00:13:25,476 --> 00:13:26,975
That's what I always said.

267
00:13:27,044 --> 00:13:30,179
She would never have left
without clothes.

268
00:13:30,248 --> 00:13:32,548
TRUE.
I believe with all my heart

269
00:13:32,617 --> 00:13:34,049
that my father is responsible.

270
00:13:34,118 --> 00:13:36,685
My mother told me that was
one of the first things

271
00:13:36,754 --> 00:13:38,687
I said, "Your father did something."

272
00:13:38,756 --> 00:13:39,822
And I thought, "Did I say that?"

273
00:13:39,891 --> 00:13:41,456
She was like:
"Yes, you said that."

274
00:13:41,525 --> 00:13:43,025
"Yeah, his dad did something to him."

Sharon, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

PRODUCER: Can you talk

288
00:14:25,036 --> 00:14:27,069
about the dynamics
in your home?

289
00:14:27,138 --> 00:14:30,305
Yes, my father was difficult,
I assure you.

290
00:14:30,374 --> 00:14:33,278
What I remember is that always
I had to treat it with care.

291
00:14:36,180 --> 00:14:39,318
my parents got divorced
in the late 90s.

292
00:14:40,512 --> 00:14:43,353
My father sold his business

293
00:14:43,422 --> 00:14:44,953
and moved to Texas.

294
00:14:45,022 --> 00:14:47,256
I don't have a relationship
with my father now

295
00:14:47,325 --> 00:14:50,392
and I didn't have it before.
It scares me.

296
00:14:50,461 --> 00:14:52,562
Jennifer and me
we treated my father

297
00:14:52,631 --> 00:14:54,096
in a very different way.

298
00:14:54,165 --> 00:14:56,031
When she defended herself,
I was just saying:

299
00:14:56,100 --> 00:14:58,762
"Hit me
and let me get out of here."

300
00:14:58,831 --> 00:15:01,603
We were three or four years old
of difference,

301
00:15:01,672 --> 00:15:03,471
We were really very different.

302
00:15:03,540 --> 00:15:05,307
It was strange that I
was at home.

303
00:15:05,376 --> 00:15:07,971
I was always in the field
golf or with friends,

304
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,313
and Jennifer spent the weekends
of the week away from home.

305
00:15:11,382 --> 00:15:14,315
I think it was a technique
survival,

306
00:15:14,384 --> 00:15:17,589
why be at home
He didn't feel safe.

307
00:15:19,156 --> 00:15:21,657
My mother never protected us
to my sister

308
00:15:21,726 --> 00:15:25,164
or me from my father, never.

309
00:15:26,097 --> 00:15:28,263
When my father was angry

310
00:15:28,332 --> 00:15:30,502
and he became violent,
my mother was walking away.

311
00:15:32,202 --> 00:15:34,402
MARGIE: That looks like the photo.
from Stephen's school,

312
00:15:34,471 --> 00:15:37,406
but it's probably just
a photo of JCPenney

313
00:15:37,475 --> 00:15:38,477
or something of it.

314
00:15:40,044 --> 00:15:44,245
Stephen has made it his mission
condemn his father.

315
00:15:44,314 --> 00:15:46,816
And that's fine if Ron did it,

316
00:15:46,885 --> 00:15:51,954
but since I can't say

00:22:35,792 --> 00:22:37,662
to report the disappearance
by Jennifer.

474
00:22:38,529 --> 00:22:40,062
We really don't know

475
00:22:40,131 --> 00:22:42,063
What happened in those three days.

476
00:22:42,132 --> 00:22:44,266
Ron told us he put up flyers

477
00:22:44,335 --> 00:22:46,601
at your school
and talked to his friends,

478
00:22:46,670 --> 00:22:49,237
but still
I haven't found a friend

479
00:22:49,306 --> 00:22:51,540
what he said
who saw flyers

480
00:22:51,609 --> 00:22:53,942
or that they spoke with him.

481
00:22:54,011 --> 00:22:56,711
At some point, Ron said
who went to Pennsylvania

482
00:22:56,780 --> 00:22:59,147
to tell you
to Jennifer's grandmother

483
00:22:59,216 --> 00:23:00,748
that had escaped.

484
00:23:00,817 --> 00:23:04,719
At another time, they said
that they both stayed at home.

485
00:23:04,788 --> 00:23:06,688
In another they said
who went to work.

486
00:23:06,757 --> 00:23:09,257
When I asked him
to Margie why did she do that,

487
00:23:09,326 --> 00:23:12,595
He told me that the note said
that I needed to go to work,

488
00:23:12,664 --> 00:23:14,129
so that's what he did.

489
00:23:14,198 --> 00:23:16,598
Then I asked him
about the statement in the note

490
00:23:16,667 --> 00:23:19,201
about putting the money
What they owed Jennifer

491
00:23:19,270 --> 00:23:20,536
in a bank account,

492
00:23:20,605 --> 00:23:21,836
and she couldn't give me a reason

493
00:23:21,905 --> 00:23:23,973
why they went to work
As the note said,

494
00:23:24,042 --> 00:23:26,574
but they didn't put any money
on Jennifer's account,

495
00:23:26,643 --> 00:23:29,377
as in the note
he had ordered them to do.

496
00:23:29,446 --> 00:23:31,579
With all the stories
contradictory,

497
00:23:31,648 --> 00:23:33,848
our suspicions
they started to move

498
00:23:33,917 --> 00:23:37,285
to Ron and Margie Pandos
knowing more about this case

499
00:23:37,354 --> 00:23:39,124

A little more than four years.

We met through
from a mutual friend and we went out,

a week later

Did he spank you?

Did your father bother you?

STEPHEN: In that situation
with my sister,

551
00:25:56,194 --> 00:25:58,026
that night alone
I was being disrespectful

552
00:25:58,095 --> 00:26:00,396

well...

554

in which probably

-someone speaks or admits something.
-TRUE.

to an interview?

there are a couple of suspects

The groom,

567
00:26:36,034 --> 00:26:39,101

whom she cared for,

I think your name
It was Hendrix or something.

-And that guy

He had a bad record.

571
00:26:44,909 --> 00:26:47,743
In fact, he was arrested
for some kidnappings

572

-and other things later.
-Yeah.

is the note.

Who is this mysterious man
who wrote the letter?

know nothing about this man

contained in that note.

things that only Jennifer
or anyone who knows Jennifer

631
00:29:17,929 --> 00:29:20,529
would be familiar.
It's more or less...

00:29:20,598 --> 00:29:23,264
"I'm leaving with a father figure.

It is written to delay
the investigation.

It's not realistic.

KENNETH MORRIS:
I think that Jennifer

655
00:30:14,651 --> 00:30:17,285
had nothing to do with it
with the creation of the letter.

656
00:30:17,354 --> 00:30:20,455
It's strange that a teenager
run away from home

657
00:30:20,524 --> 00:30:23,328
without prior warning
of his intentions.

658
00:30:24,361 --> 00:30:25,427
The uncomfortable wording

659
00:30:25,496 --> 00:30:27,429
and the use of quotations suggest

660
00:30:27,498 --> 00:30:29,798
that Jennifer's contribution
was void

661
00:30:29,867 --> 00:30:31,870
during writing
of the letter.

662
00:30:33,337 --> 00:30:36,271
There is no evidence for the
affirmation of a devout stranger.

663
00:30:36,340 --> 00:30:38,607
No close friends
I knew this man

664
00:30:38,676 --> 00:30:41,977
and the writing style suggests
a distant writer,

665
00:30:42,046 --> 00:30:44,412
emotionally
detached and loveless.

666
00:30:44,481 --> 00:30:47,016
The inclusion of information
staff in the menu

667
00:30:47,085 --> 00:30:49,251
suggests that the writer
had a relationship

668
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,452
extremely
close with Jennifer.

669
00:30:51,521 --> 00:30:54,657
Therefore,
It can be said that the letter

670
00:30:54,726 --> 00:30:56,391
It is an instrument created

671
00:30:56,460 --> 00:30:59,461
to facilitate a scene
of the planned crime.

It would be one or both parents.

when margie
Did he show you the note?

DONNIE: One of the mysteries
of this case

708
00:32:47,906 --> 00:32:49,605
is the missing file.

709
00:32:49,674 --> 00:32:51,040
In 2006,

710
00:32:51,109 --> 00:32:54,943
there were two detectives assigned
to the unsolved case,

711
00:32:55,012 --> 00:32:57,880
and that was the researcher
Wendi Reed

712
00:32:57,949 --> 00:33:00,048
and Sergeant Jeff Vellines.

713
00:33:00,117 --> 00:33:02,585
I guess Jeff
contacted Margie,

714
00:33:02,654 --> 00:33:04,085
and Margie, somehow,

715
00:33:04,154 --> 00:33:06,455
had located a set
of dental records,

716
00:33:06,524 --> 00:33:08,952
that supposedly
were delivered,

717
00:33:09,021 --> 00:33:12,327
according to the dentist,
to James City police.

718
00:33:12,396 --> 00:33:14,296
So those
there are two articles

719
00:33:14,365 --> 00:33:17,694
that were initially
in possession of the police.

720
00:33:17,763 --> 00:33:21,169

I have no doubts,

the file disappeared

-...you knew it at that moment.

741

Correct. If I remember correctly,
I thought:

"It's okay.
This is my probable cause

743

-that could work."
-Clear. Clear.

744
00:34:14,058 --> 00:34:15,924
I made a call
to the prosecutor's office

00:34:15,993 --> 00:34:17,826
of the Commonwealth of Virginia,

746
00:34:17,895 --> 00:34:20,728
and I said, "I think we have
sufficient probable cause

registration for your home.

748

DONNIE: Talking.
with Sergeant Vellines,

764
00:34:55,332 --> 00:34:57,698
we both had
a little suspicion

765
00:34:57,767 --> 00:35:02,604
that something disastrous could
have happened to the file,

766
00:35:02,673 --> 00:35:04,743
and his theory was

767
00:35:05,309 --> 00:35:07,575
that Ron was a friend

They thought they had done

get the file
