NARRATOR: Tonight on
Unsolved Mysteries.

Most people will
go to great lengths

to avoid the fiery
pain of a bee sting.

Most, but not all.

Meet two women with
multiple sclerosis

who're convinced that
the venom of honeybees

has been their salvation.

After 10 years of
scandal and controversy,

the notorious Preppy Rape
case ended in a hung jury.

Now Alex Kelly, son of
wealth and privilege,

awaits the start of his retrial.

In a special
demonstration, we'll

examine a key piece of
evidence that apparently

helped decide the outcome.

For Jamie Santos, the
benefits of exotic dancing

always outweighed the risks.

Then Jamie was found
murdered in her apartment.

Incredibly, police
believe the killer himself

may have reported the crime.

In Nevada, a forest ranger
and his family are targeted.

Simmering hostilities
over federal land

erupted into violence.

And also, they were
separated as young children

on the other side
of the Atlantic,

nearly 50 years later
they've been reunited

here in the United States.
- Join me.

Perhaps you hold the key.

Perhaps you may be able
to help solve a mystery.

[music playing]

NARRATOR: There is no
mistaking the sound

of quiet thunder of bees.

Unless you're in
the honey business,

you undoubtedly avoid any
person-to-person contact

with bees.

However, to some
people, honey bees are

miniature flying drugstores.

Dispensaries of miracle cures.

You're about to meet two
women who say they've

experienced the miracle.

Both have multiple
sclerosis, or MS,

a crippling disease
of the nervous system

whose complications
can be fatal.

Both have reversed
the course of MS

through a
controversial treatment

known as bee venom therapy.

Literally stinging
themselves with honey bees.

Kelly Ames was in
high school when

MS first crept into her life.

By the time, Kelly
was 22, her symptoms

became impossible to ignore.

One day I was at
work, and I was walking

down a flight of stairs.

It must've been like
12 stairs, where

I just lost feeling in my
feet, like all of a sudden.

And I fell down a
flight of stairs.

And the women in my office
were like, Wow, you know.

I explained to them that
my feet sometimes get numb.

NARRATOR: - Medical tests
revealed a cruel truth.

Kelly had MS. The unforgiving
disease first robbed her

of the ability to walk alone.

Before long, MS was
attacking her eyes.

I can't see anything
out of this eye.

It's like it took over my life.

Within a week, I lost
vision in my left eye

and I had no control
over my muscles.

It was just very devastating.

I hated to depend
on other people,

but, at times, I needed
other people to help me.

NARRATOR: Kelly's doctor
put her on steroids.

These potent drugs
can temporarily

relieve the symptoms of MS, but
no drug can stop its advance.

Having the steroid
drip in my arm,

I would sit there for
an hour and a half

looking at other people
coming in wheelchairs

and wondering if
that's going to be

me someday in that wheelchair.

NARRATOR: Then Kelly met a woman
would literally walked away

from her wheelchair, after
systematically stinging

herself with honeybees.

For Kelly Ames, it was
the last ray of hope.

Kelly's father brought her to
a local beekeeper who'd been

helping MS patients for years.

He was happy to
donate the honeybees.

The rest?

Would be up to Kelly.

He told me that he did not
want to be bothered by me

if I wasn't serious about it.

He said, you have to do this
for six months straight,

every other day, faithfully.

Increase it by two every other
day, until you get to 20.

And he scared me when he
said that, because I realized

that I really had to
take the responsibility

of sticking to this.

And, I did.

NARRATOR: Kelly
and her boyfriend

set up a morning routine.

He placed the bees at specific
spots on Kelly's body,

where nerves running
to the damaged areas

are most accessible.

For Kelly's failing eyesight,
that was behind the ear.

Bees were also positioned
on Kelly's lower back

to treat the
weakness in her legs.

The bees were left in place
for as long as 15 minutes

to allow all their venom
to penetrate Kelly's skin.

And just get dressed,
and I'll come back, okay?

NARRATOR: MS had so ravished
Kelly's nervous system

that she stung herself
several hundred times

before actually feeling
the full wallop of a sting.

I could actually feel
what a bee sting felt like,

and it hurt.

It really hurt.

I was screaming.

I had my head in my pillow,
and I was screaming.

And I was screaming,
because I was happy

because I could feel again.

I knew that the therapy
was starting to work,

because within a
week my eyesight

started slowly come back.

I didn't depend on
my cane as much.

And right then and
there I just knew.

Finally this was kicking
in, it was working for me

I know Kelly Ames, and her
situation is a perfect example

of how the venom therapy helps
MS. She was not doing well,

and when she started
her bee venom therapy,

it had a clear difference
in her symptoms

and her outlook on life.

Do you think
you're numb enough?

Okay, what I'm going
to do is grab the bee

on the upper part of body.

NARRATOR: Today
Kelly Ames teachers

bee venom therapy to others in
the grip of multiple sclerosis.

Some doctors dismiss the therapy
as little better than voodoo,

Kelly's remarkable
recovery is hardly unique.

When I decided to
do the venom therapy,

we kind of kept it
a little hush-hush,

because I didn't know what other
people's reactions would be.

I know what the reactions
of my doctors were,

so I figured, you know,
we'll keep a little quiet.

NARRATOR: Maureen Norton
began to experience

the symptoms of MS shortly after
the birth of her second child.

She was seized by a tingling
pins and needles sensation

in her legs, that made
walking nearly impossible.

It was very scary, I
just kinda pictured myself

in a wheelchair
holding my little baby,

and my son along the side
now I didn't want that.

NARRATOR: But that was right
where Maureen was headed.

Then she started
bee venom therapy.

I was always afraid of
bees and about being stung.

But I just felt that
this was my only answer.

NARRATOR: A beekeeper
who lived nearby

agreed to teach more Maureen
the fine art of bee wrangling.

How to grab his
bristly neck and coerce

it to jab a stinger at
precisely the right location.

I was told to sting you on the
top of your foot, right here.

NARRATOR: By the time Maureen
got started with bee stings,

MS had numbed her feet
so thoroughly she could

hardly sense they were there.

To the touch, Maureen's
feet were icy blue cold.

OK, I think
that's long enough.

Within minutes,
my foot was warm.

You could feel the
venom going through,

and the blood felt like there
was life in my foot again.

It was just an
incredible feeling.

I knew, right from that
moment, that something good

was happening.

And I felt that this
was going to help me.

NARRATOR: How much did it help?

This photograph of
Maureen and her son

was taken six weeks after
she began the sting therapy.

Maureen has just
crossed the finish

line in a seven mile walkathon.

Three weeks later, Maureen was
prancing across the dance floor

at a party celebrating
her spectacular recovery.

Today, I am a
very active person.

I haven't had any attacks.

Sometimes, depending
if the stress

gets too much in my life, that
you know I'll get some pins

and needles fillings feelings in
my hands, or in my right knee.

I immediately just
take my bees out,

and I'll give myself
a couple of stings

and the feelings are gone.

NARRATOR: Should we prize
bees for their sting

as well as their honey?

Mainstream science has hardly
begun to address the question,

though some doctors believe
bee venom therapy is far

too promising to be ignored.

At first it may be easy to
dismiss bee venom therapy.

The fact is, it
sounds a little kooky.

However, in studying
about bee venom,

there are certain
substances which make sense

in multiple sclerosis therapy.

We know that the immune
system is involved,

and of course a neurologic
system is involved,

therefore bee venom, which has
components which affect both

the immune system and
neurologic system,

is a natural
substance which seems

to have some effects in MS.

NARRATOR: Skeptics might argue
that improvements reported

by bee advocates are in
reality the periodic remissions

typical of MS. But
Kelly Ames is convinced

her progress is a direct
result of bee venom therapy.

I stopped doing the therapy
for a couple of weeks,

and I felt myself sliding back.

I felt some symptoms coming
on again, and it scared me.

So right away, I grabbed a bee.

I stung myself a
couple of times,

and within seconds I could
feel it go through my body

and stimulate my muscles
and make me much stronger.

So right now, I know
I'm not in remission.

It's time for physicians
and the medical community

to take a serious
look at whether bee

venom may relieve the suffering
of some of our patients.

NARRATOR: Estimates are
that as many as 10,000 MS

patients are currently
using bee venom therapy.

Proponents also claim
success in treating arthritis

and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Recently the Multiple Sclerosis
Association of America

began funding major
scientific research

on this controversial treatment.

Bee experts do have one warning,
roughly one person in 25

is deathly allergic
to honey bee stings.

Anyone considering
this treatment

should consult a physician.

Coming up, last November,
the rape trial of Alex Kelly

ended in a hung jury.

Now we put a critical
defense claim to the test.

Also, when a popular
exotic dancer is murdered,

the only clue is an
anonymous call to 911.

But first, a US forest ranger
searches for the unknown bomber

who attacked his family.

March 31, 1995.

Carson City, Nevada.

The bomb was placed right
over here on the window ledge.

And as you can see--

NARRATOR: US Forest Service
ranger Guy Pence was

called to work just after dawn.

An explosion had ripped through
his office the night before.

Do you have any idea
what kind of bomb this was?

NARRATOR: The FBI
initially believed

the bomber had targeted
the building, not

any particular employees.

Guy Pence suspected otherwise.

I really always felt that it
was aimed as a direct statement

to me.

Now it may be aimed
as a direct statement

to me as the district ranger,
or as a federal employee,

and not so much at
me specifically.

NARRATOR: Why would Guy Pence or
the Forest Service be a target?

Perhaps because they are
on the front line of a war

that most of us don't
even know about.

Some call it the
Sagebrush Rebellion,

an informal alliance of people
opposed to federal control

of local public land.

For most of this century,
ranchers, loggers, and miners

have had permits
that gave them access

to huge tracts of that land.

In some families, those
permits have been handed

down through five generations.

Over a long
history, we've always

had conflicts over national
resource management.

And that can be
conflicts over grazing,

timber harvest, recreation.

NARRATOR: To
accommodate all users

and protect the
diminishing resources,

the US Forest Service began
to restrict private use.

As district ranger,
it was up to Guy Pence

to make sure everyone
complied with the new rules.

Everybody in the
district, across the board,

is going to take a 20% cut.

Well, I reckon we've
been through worse.

We'll handle this one, too.

I'm with you.

NARRATOR: People didn't
like it but they went along.

However, some saw Guy
Pence himself as the enemy.

You wind up with
22 extra tomorrow,

you just bring it
back up on your own,

and we'll just call it good.

I don't think that's the case.

We're running the
whole herd through.

Michael, we went through this.

We said 800, and you said
you weren't going to give

me any trouble about it.

I don't think
that's the case, Guy.

You're making a
mistake, Michael.

NARRATOR: Guy Pence says
scenes like this have become

a regular part of his job.

Similar conflicts
all over the West

are what originally gave rise
to the Sagebrush Rebellion.

The issue that we have
here is these people

have a right to graze
forage, they have a right

to mine minerals, they have
a right to harvest timber,

and the bureaucrats have
exceeded their authority.

In some way or trying to stop
them one way or the other.

And we are standing up
as county governments

to protect their rights.

I'm telling you
what's going to happen.

NARRATOR: Ironically,
many of the people opposed

to the new federal rules
are local elected leaders

like Commissioner Carver.

However, they say they are
dismayed by violent acts

like the bombing
of Pence's office.

We were devastated by it.

The first thing we did is
notified our County Sheriff's

Department to put extra
patrol on all federal agency

employees in my county.

We posted $100,000 bond.

We want to put a stop to
it as bad as anybody else.

NARRATOR: Four months
after the bombing,

any question about
whether Guy Pence had been

personally targeted was erased.

Pence took a
back-country assignment.

He brought along his
youngest daughter.

His wife Linda stayed at home
with her two older daughters.

It was August 4, 1995.

We had been making pickles,
which is a very hot job.

And lots of boiling water
going on in the kitchen

to add to the heat
of the whole house,

and we were about finished.

And had rented a movie.

And Morgan and I had
gone into the front room

to get that started.

We sat down next to the windows.

Kalter, our oldest daughter,
was back in her bedroom

at the back side of
the house talking

on the phone with a friend.

Kalter, it's starting.

I thought you
wanted to see this!

FOOTSTEPS]

What was that?

What?

You didn't hear that?

What did you hear?

I think someone
walking or footsteps

or something out there.

OK, sweetie, I'll
go check on it.

[ding]

There's the buzzer for the
pickles, can you grab them?

Oh yeah.

NARRATOR: When Linda
looked outside,

she saw nothing unusual.

Mom, Mom, can you
help me with this?

Yeah.

Thanks.

I went into the
kitchen, and Morgan

said this is going
to take a few minutes

I better go turn off the movie.

Hey.

Here, put this on?

[explosion, glass breaking]

NARRATOR: Fortunately,
no one was hurt.

The homemade bomb had
been placed directly

beneath Guy Pence's van.

The charred wreckage was
an unmistakable message.

It's a very hard thought
to accept that someone

would try to kill your family.

There's absolutely
no doubt in my mind

that whoever did this knew
my family was at home.

The windows were open, the
lights were on, the TV was on.

My own daughter heard
their footsteps,

and that they left
a killing device

and ran into the darkness.

I have a hard time comprehending
how any human could do that.

NARRATOR: Like
the first bombing,

there were a few solid
clues and no suspects.

The FBI laboratory in
Washington DC has advised us

that these bombs are very
similar in construction,

and most likely
were manufactured

by the same individual.

We're not looking for
a sophisticated bomber

in this particular case,
we're looking for someone who

knows the basics
and the basic use

and application of
explosives to make this bomb.

But if this was not a
mastermind by any stretch

of the imagination.

NARRATOR: While the
FBI continued searching

for the person or persons
responsible for both attacks,

Guy Pence and his family
moved to another location.

He could have quit his
job, but Guy chose to keep

working for the forest service.

I think the stakes
are very high.

Those stakes are our
natural resources.

Those stakes belong
to all of us.

300 million Americans,
and those unborn today.

Those resources belong to them.

It's extremely important to
me that the forces that support

this kind of thing understand
that this is not ever

how you win, but you only lose.

That's extremely important that
this perpetrator be brought

to justice so that everyone
understands this is

not how we solve our problems.

NARRATOR: Next, a
woman is reunited

with her long lost brother,
thanks to you, our viewers.

And later, a simple car seat
mechanism plays a crucial role

in notorious Preppy Rape trial.

Most of us would
gladly spend a lifetime

trying to find someone we love.

Tonight's update
took that and more.

It involves a search to span
two continents, two generations,

and almost half a century.

Plymouth, England 1952.

Eleanor Karofsky helped
her five-year-old son

prepare for a long journey.

Christopher was going
to the United States

with another family.

I'll miss you, mama.

I'll miss you,
too, Christopher.

My mother didn't really want
to send him with somebody else,

but my father kept
saying, you know,

education, education, he's
going to get a good education.

He's going to be
able to start school,

so it was easier for him.

But my mother, I
guess, being a woman,

it just tore at her heart.

NARRATOR: It was only seven
years after World War II.

Refugees from Eastern Europe,
like Helena and her husband

Paul desperately
wanted a better life.

In America, Christopher
would live with friends

until the Karofskys and their
daughter Michelle could follow.

A few months later, however, the
Karofskys changed their plans

and decided to stay in England.

They wrote their friends
in America asking

them to send Christopher back.

Helena, Helena.

Yeah?

I have received
letter from America.

America?

Yes.

The don't send Christopher back.

What?

They don't send
Christopher back.

Christopher!

NARRATOR: The Karofskys tried
every avenue they could think

of to have Christopher
returned, but there

was nothing anyone could do.

The Karofskys never
saw Christopher again.

In 1973, [inaudible] died.

20 years later, Helena
also passed away.

Her last wish was
that her children

would someday be reunited.

I want to be able to tell
him how much my mother loved

him, how she never forgot him.

How, to the day she
died, that she loved him.

NARRATOR: After so many years,
we knew finding Michelle's

brother might be a long shot.

In fact, the story aired several
times with little response.

But not long ago, the
right person was watching.

Keely Smith is on
maternity leave.

Here's Lu Hanessian
and with the details.

Thanks, Bob.

As it turned out, the
critical viewer was

Christopher's adoptive sister.

When she told him about
Michelle's search,

Christopher called
our phone center.

He gave the operator specific
details only Michelle's long

lost brother could have known.

A month later,
Christopher traveled

from his home in upstate
New York to Michelle's home

outside Houston, Texas.

It was a moment 44
years in the making.

As I was waiting for
Christopher to come,

and I was looking
out the window,

I was wanting my mom to be here,
and wishing that she was here.

Because she had dreamed of this.

Hi.

Hi.

Long time.

Did it.

I can't believe it.

I really can't describe
how I felt. It's--

I can't describe it,
It's too much for words.

All these years,
wondering, hoping,

and it's finally come true.

Christopher introduced
his wife, Ellen, then

met Michelle's husband,
Derek, her daughter, Kerry,

and her granddaughters,
Caylee and Danielle.

I'm just happy,
that I have him now.

It's just so hard to
describe something

I've dreamt about,
God, for 30-odd years.

And it's here.

It's hard-- I keep
looking at him

because I can't believe
it's actually happened.

Christopher and Michelle have
a lot of catching up to do,

but they're already
well on their way.

I never expected
it to really happen,

but I always dreamed that maybe
one day my turn would come,

and I would find my brother.

But, dreams, I guess
they do come true.

NARRATOR: Coming up, a
beautifully young dancer

is murdered, and some
believe the killer

himself notified the police.

But first, the trial of
accused rapist Alex Kelly

ended in a hung jury.

Will independent
testing validate

the defense or the prosecution?

It was a trial 10
years in the making.

The case has scandalized and
captivated the national media.

Last October, alleged
rapist Alex Kelly,

after nearly a
decade on the run,

faced his accuser in court.

She is now a grown woman.

She claims that in
February of 1986,

just after her 16th birthday,
Alex Kelly raped her.

The trial ended with a
jury hopelessly deadlocked.

Tonight with a retrial
on the horizon,

we will take a unique look
at one of the pivotal issues

in this case, which
may ultimately

determine whether
Alex Kelly could,

in fact, be guilty as charged.

Darien, Connecticut, 40 miles
northeast of New York City,

is one of the country's
most affluent and exclusive

communities.

Alex Kelly was one of
Darien's brightest young men,

and a wealthy, devoted family
and a promising future.

In high school, Kelly
was a gifted wrestler

with a trademark
move, the guillotine.

Alex Kelly was 18 years
old when his perfect world

came crashing down.

On February 10th 1986,
he met the alleged victim

during a party at this house.

At around 11:30pm, Kelly
offered to take her home in his

girlfriend's Jeep Wagoneer.

But, according to
the young woman,

Alex Kelly did not
drive her home.

Instead she claimed he pulled
into this secluded cul de sac

and proceeded to rape her.

Four days later, this time
at the nearby Stamford

Country Club, another
party, another young woman.

Another accusation
against Alex Kelly.

Kelly was arrested for
both alleged rapes.

He denied the charges, claiming
that both incidents had

been acts of consensual sex.

He was released
on $200,000 bond,

pending the start of his trial.

But when jury
selection commenced,

Alex Kelly was
nowhere to be found.

Over the next eight
years, he continually

eluded the authorities.

Then in July of 1994,
police and FBI agents

raided the Kelly
home in Connecticut,

and learned the surprising
truth about Alex Kelly's years

on the run.

Alex Kelly was leading
the good life overseas.

He traveled all over, his
passport was stamped with just

dozens of countries in and out.

Greece, and Sweden, and
France, and all over the globe.

He spent a lot of his
time at ski resorts,

living the high life.

And , you know, he
would write letters

home talking about
his hang-gliding

and his parasailing.

And in one letter, he even said
I could live like this forever.

And he wasn't exactly suffering.

NARRATOR: Photographs
in the Kelly home

showed Alex's parents visiting
him while he was in hiding.

Investigators also found in an
unmailed letter which revealed

Kelly's address in Sweden.

So, Alex knows that
law enforcement

is closing in on him now.

Tom Puccio is hired by the
family as Alex's lawyer.

Puccio met with Alex
in Europe to negotiate

the terms of his surrender.

And it was shortly
thereafter in January of 1995

that he surrendered
to Swiss authorities.

In May of 1995, Kelly
was extradited to the US.

He was arraigned on charges of
sexual assault and kidnapping.

He was released on
$1 million bond.

The trial for the first alleged
rape commenced in October 1996.

Most days Alex Kelly
arrived at court,

hand-in-hand with his old high
school girlfriend, Amy Monitor.

The star witness was
Kelly's alleged victim.

In riveting detail,
she outlined the terror

she said she had experienced.

At one point, she said
that his hand was on her neck

the entire time,
before he pushed her

into the backseat of the Jeep.

And at that time, it just
seemed like that this

was her description
of what happened,

and it didn't seem like this
was any more a piece of evidence

than anything else
and that this wasn't

going to mean anything more than
anything else she was saying.

But it turned out
quite differently.

NARRATOR: Defense
attorney Thomas

Puccio leaped to the attack.

If Alex Kelly's hand had never
left the victim's throat,

it would have been impossible
for him to both release

and lower the back seat
with his one free hand.

First order of business
is to thank the jury.

NARRATOR: The case
ended in a mistrial

after the six person
jury deadlocked at four

to convict, and two to acquit.

Later some of the jurors
stated that the testimony

about the seat latch
had played a major role

in the deliberations, apparently
leading some to believe a rape

had never occurred.

The victim stated
that he reached over

and grabbed her by the throat.

He immediately put spread
his legs over her body,

was choking her.

NARRATOR: Connie Williams
was one of the six jurors.

Although he ultimately
voted to convict,

he has lingering doubts
as to how the crime

might have been committed.

He reached around,
and at some point

she heard a clicking noise.

The clicking noise was
the lever being pulled.

NARRATOR: The lever is
a spring-loaded device,

designed to be
lifted and held up

while the seat is pushed down.

As you can see,
there's no way that I

can pull his lever forward.

Let's put my hand forward, and
pulling the levers forward,

with both hands in the seat.

There was no way I can
do it with one hand.

NARRATOR: Unsolved
Mysteries decided to put

the defense claim to the test.

We asked Failure
Analysis Associates,

an engineering consulting
firm, to conduct

an impartial demonstration.

The firm procured a
1983 Jeep Wagoneer

and hired two actors of
physical characteristics

similar to Alex Kelly
and the young woman.

That, that's always like that.

NARRATOR: Regarding the
use of the seat latch,

the actor portraying Kelly was
simply told where the latch was

and that it needed to be
lifted to release the seat.

He was then told to
simulate an attack,

and simultaneously lower the
back seat using only one hand.

The test was
repeated three times.

In each instance, the
actor successfully lowered

the seat without difficulty.

Quite surprising to me that he
could physically move the latch

so quickly and move
the seat back so fast,

given the impression I had
about the latch mechanism

when I first observed the car.

What we're seeing in this
car, is because in the condition

of this particular
vehicle, that it

is possible to lift this
latch and get it stuck

on a exposed nut and bolt.

NARRATOR: The test did, however,
contain a built-in flaw.

In 1986, the Wagoneer
was just three years old.

The vehicle in the
test was 13 years old.

Scientists believe
a decade of wear

may have weakened
the latch so that it

could be moved laterally.

To approximate the amount of
wear on the latch at the time

of the alleged incident,
Failure Analysis next

brought in a 1990 Wagoneer,
one of the last years

the model was manufactured.

The test was repeated
with a simulated attack.

On four occasions,
the actor attempted

to manipulate the latch and
lower the seat with one hand.

Only once, his second attempt,
and with a fair amount

of difficulty,
was he successful.

A simple conclusion that
it's possible or not possible

doesn't seem to be in the works.

But, nevertheless,
we could probably

say that with a vehicle that's
in relatively new condition,

it's very hard to
do with one hand.

Although our actor was managed
to do it that one time.

So, even there, it's really
surprised me, I think,

that he could do that.

Whether that seat
could have been operated

in the way the alleged
victim described,

is really dependent on
the condition of the seat

and the age of the vehicle.

And that's a primary factor in
figuring out whether it could

have happened and that's
something we'll never

know about the subject vehicle.

Is the condition of the
seat in that vehicle.

NARRATOR: It should be
noted that the subject

vehicle was not available
for either the court

case or demonstration.

It was reported stolen
approximately three years

after Alex Kelly was arrested.

When we return, she was
a beautiful and popular

exotic dancer.

Now the investigation
into her murder

hinges on a single question.

Who called the police?

A good Samaritan, or
the killer himself?

You're about to hear
an actual 911 call.

It was recorded by an
emergency operator in Wheeling,

Illinois just north of Chicago.

The caller spoke
from a pay phone

and refused to give his name.

Police believe
that he alone holds

the key to solving a murder.

NARRATOR: The anonymous
caller was right.

She was 27-year-old Jamie
Santos wasn't breathing.

She had been smothered
with a pillow,

and nothing would
ever revive her.

Jamie had lived just down
the road from her family.

Calls and visits were frequent.

Holidays were spent together.

She was just like
a burst of energy.

When she walked in,
you knew she was there,

her presence would just radiate.

I think she ultimately
she just wanted to get

married and have a family.

Success was important to her.

I don't think she really had
a handle on what she wanted

to be successful at,
but ultimately it

was children and family.

NARRATOR: Jamie's aspirations
may have been unremarkably

tame, but you would
never have guessed

it if you met her on the job.

Jamie had parlayed
her natural good looks

into a steady income.

She pulled in better
than $1,000 a week

dancing for exclusive private
parties in and around Chicago.

When Jamie first told us that
she was going into dancing,

entertainment.

It was a little
difficult to handle,

but she explained to us
how it was going to work,

we felt a little bit
more comfortable.

Because our main concern
really wasn't the type of work

she was doing, but
was for her safety.

Once she reassured us that she
would have somebody accompany

her at all times, the
driver or bodyguard,

we felt a little bit
more comfortable.

How would you like to
make a little extra money?

I don't think so.

Come on, let's go.

It's okay.

If she went into a place and
the atmosphere wasn't right,

because the people had been
drinking too much or something,

they'd just fold up and leave.

NARRATOR: On Sunday, October
27, 1991 Jamie didn't feel well.

She canceled her bookings.

She rented a couple
of videotapes,

she called a friend.

That is what we know about
the last night Jamie Santos.

The call for help came the
next morning roughly 11:30 a.m.

There's no time.

Send an ambulance to
1765 Stonehenge Court

in Wheeling immediately.

There's a young woman.

She's not breathing,
she's turning blue.

NARRATOR: Paramedics found
Jamie in her bedroom.

There were obvious
signs of a struggle.

Jamie's head was carefully
propped on a pillow.

She had not been raped.

With no eyewitnesses, no
fingerprints, nothing that

would yield a DNA
profile, the only lead was

a male voice on the 911 tape.

No one in Jamie's family
could identify the caller.

Investigators could
not even determine

whether he was the killer
or simply a passer-by.

There is a possibility
the 911 caller

could be an innocent bystander
that stumbled upon this.

There is evidence of a
struggle, possibly somebody

could have heard a struggle.

Possibly somebody
could have seen

somebody running from the
area, and seen an open door.

Anybody home?

Hello?

911 caller could be
afraid to come forward,

thinking that they'll be
accused of being the killer,

when in fact, you know,
they were bystander.

NARRATOR: However in
this perplexing case,

police can just
as easily envision

a scenario where the 911 call
was made by the killer himself.

Hey.

Hi.

Can I come and
talk for a while?

Well we've already talked, I--

We don't have evidence
that there was forced entry.

So, there's a good chance
person was an invited guest.

No, don't.

Don't

Could be a crime of passion.

Could have been
something that started

out innocently and turned bad.

It could have been a
domestic-type argument.

Look, I'm going to
have to ask you to leave.

What?
Now don't start with this.

No, no, no, no, no, no,
- Don't, you're hurting me.

Stop it.

[inaudible]

Things went too far.

And when the person realized
that he had hurt Jamie,

he had remorse.

And in that, he tried to, in
several ways, get her help.

You know, he put a
pillow under her head,

he made an honest effort to
get medical help for her.

NARRATOR: Further bolstering
the theory that the killer knew

Jamie was a certainty
when providing Jamie's

address to the operator.

Send somebody, ambulance
or police to 1765 Stonehenge

Court in Wheeling immediately.

1765 Stonehedge, like the bush.

What phone are
you calling from?

His familiarity with the area
means that he had been there

either, several times before,
or he had a specific reason

to have the knowledge
he did of the address,

as far as the numbers
on the street,

and the pronunciation
of the street.

NARRATOR: Authorities believe
that if the killer did know

Jamie Santos, there
is a strong likelihood

he had set his sights on her
within world of exotic dancing.

Hey, hey, hey.

You're really sexy.

NARRATOR: Perhaps one
of Jamie's clients

couldn't take no for an answer.

Perhaps one of her drivers had
been nursing a secret passion

that flared out of control.

But every question leads
to the same brick wall.

The 911 tape is a
very important clue.

We feel that with the
identification of the voice,

and this tape, we can
resolve this matter.

I'm always trying to figure
out if I know the voice,

if I know who that person is.

When I hear the
urgency in his voice,

it just brings up
all the emotions

of I know what he's seen, and
I know that I can't help her.

I feel that this
person could give us

some information on this,
and I can't understand

why he doesn't come forward.

And help us to relieve some
of the pain of Jamie's death.

NARRATOR: Here again is
the actual 911 recording

made in October of 1991.

If you recognize the voice,
contact the Wheeling,

Illinois police department.

Please listen closely.

Send someone to 1765
Stonehedge Court in Wheeling,

immediately.

There's a young woman
there who's not breathing.

She's turning blue

- 1765 Stonehenge?
- Stonehedge.

Hedge like the bush.

OK.

In Wheeling?

Yeah.

What phone number
are calling from?

I don't know,
it's a public phone.

When were you at
that house, sir?

Bye.

[beep]

Sir?

NARRATOR: Join me
again next time

for another intriguing
addition of Unsolved Mysteries.
