[♪...] >> i wanted to understand more
2:53 am
about philosophy's exclusive formulation: their miracle ingredient h.p.r. [♪...] so i came to memphis, tennessee, to meet the man who invented it. a ph.d in physical chemistry, university professor emeritus in medicinal chemistry and recognized expert in the field of molecular modeling, dr. bill purcell. ...here we are. hi. ...what is h.p.r. exactly? >> h.p.r. is a molecule that i invented that is different from the rest of the retinoids. i could see that the scaffold of a retinoid had great potential as an anti-aging agent, but i knew that part of the molecule was causing irritation. so i decided to tinker with the molecule. we removed the acid and put another group on there which made what we call an ester. we have held on to and maintained the good part-- which is that it works in anti-aging--
2:54 am
and then we have changed the molecule so it's not an acid anymore. >> what can h. p. r. do for our skin? >> you will see results rather quickly with smoothing, the texture, the radiance, the youthfulness. it's really quite miraculous. >> everything i've learned about philosophy's box of miracles has been amazing-- how easy it is to use, how well it works and how much women love it. then i found out the price and that was the most amazing thing of all. >> female announcer: how much would you expect to pay for your own 30-day supply of philosophy's box of miracles? >> what do i expect it to cost or what do i wish it would cost? >> $250, $300. >> a couple hundred dollars? >> $150-range? >> female announcer: these women are in for a very pleasant surprise-- at better department stores, these individual products sell for a total of just $95, but because philosophy believes every woman deserves access to the best in skin care science, we've created this box of miracles for the special direct-to-you price of only

2:57 am
[♪...] [camera shutter clicks] >> female announcer: what if you could test philosophy's box of miracles for eight weeks? that's what these women did and here's what they said at the beginning of their eight-week challenge. >> my name is heather. >> jennifer hammentree. >> annie olsen. >> man: what are you noticing? >> oh, wrinkles around my eyes. >> the wrinkles around my eye and forehead. >> i hope that by the time i'm done, i've improved my self confidence with a little younger look and a little bit more on top of it to give an edge in the marketplace, trying to find a new job. >> what i hope is that i come out looking a little fresher and kind of a slightly better me. >> female announcer: and here's what they saw just eight weeks later. >> wow, that's really cool. >> no wonder people commented on my skin. it does look really good. my cheeks are really nicely evened out. wow. >> actually, i can even see a
2:58 am
little difference... it's kind of a little bit everywhere. fine lines, i think, diminished. i see a little bit in the forehead, so it's working. i won't stop. >> wow, that's really cool. the brow lines are definitely less distinct. that's cool. i think it's great. i noticed a difference. i wasn't expecting to... um... i win. [chuckles] [♪...] >> male announcer: clinical studies demonstrate that philosophy's miraculous retinoid pads produce results. in a 12-week test of 46 women age 39 to 64, dermatologists observed that in just one week, the vast majority had smoother, more radiant skin. and the skin benefits continued to improve over time. at 12 weeks, 91% of participants had minimized the appearance of wrinkles. 96% showed significant improvement in the appearance of pores. 98% had reduced the appearance of fine lines and discoloration. and every single woman in the study presented smoother, more radiant skin. >> kimberley: i heard about a renowned dermatologist in san
2:59 am
antonio, texas, so i arranged to speak with dr. vivian bucay. she's a board-certified dermatologist, published author and international speaker. [♪...] ...so, dr. bucay, philosophy talks about dermatological gold standards. what does that mean to you as a dermatologist? >> a gold standard is simply something that works and has the science to back its claims. for me, that gold standard is going to be a retinoid and by that, i mean something in the class of vitamin a. >> what are the benefits of using a retinoid? >> the nice thing about a retinoid is that it can really speed up cell renewal so that your skin looks brighter, more even toned. it can also slow the breakdown of collagen. so it's a two-fold benefit. retinoids unfortunately also turn on a signal for irritation. one of the exciting advances in retinoid research has been the development of something called h.p.r., a very gentle retinoid that has managed to separate efficacy from irritation,
3:00 am
so you can have a potent, yet gentle product. >> women absolutely love philosophy's anti-aging skin care system and they love to talk about how it's changed their lives. let's eavesdrop. >> i started using miracle worker pads when my skin just wasn't as bright as it used to be. >> after spending money on so many other products and it not doing what they said it would do, finally this is something that worked. >> a minute or so in the morning, a minute at night and the difference in your skin is just unbelievable. >> in fact, my husband even says i am better looking. >> you just kind of walk around with this little inner smile. you sit there and maybe sometimes you walk by a window and you catch your reflection and you're like, "wow, i look pretty good." >> what is ithe box of miracles exactly? >> well, this is really an exciting collection. what you're getting is you're getting a cleanser, you're getting targeted treatment and you're getting a moisturizer. >> and they're formulated to be extremely effective, yet gentle for all skin types. >> if you want skin so
3:01 am
impeccably bright, brilliantly smooth and glowing-- >> yes, please. >> all those things, we can give you those things, where makeup becomes an option instead of a requirement. >> so talk us through the system if you will. >> well, the first step: purity made simple daily facial cleanser has a wonderful feel and texture. >> annie: and what's amazing about this cleanser, it will get your skin completely clean and it feels lightly hydrated, so it's not dry or tight. >> it cleanses, it tones, it hydrates and it removes even the most stubborn makeup. eye makeup as well as lipstick. and it does it all in one step. >> miracle number one. >> annie: so step two is our miracle worker miraculous anti-aging retinoid pads. this includes one of philosophy's most breakthrough ingredients ever-- h.p.r. or high-performance retinoid. >> h.p.r. is our next generation retinoid that gives you all the benefit of a retinol, but it does it with minimal irritation. it's our fresh poutechnology that is so innovative and that is what allows the h.p.r. to be
3:02 am
totally stable. and all you do is you just fresh pour the solution over the pads and it's ready to use. >> annie: you just swipe it on your face at night and let the miracles happen. >> and you'll see results in as little as a week. >> kimberley: wow. and what else goes into this miraculous retinoid solution? >> it's infused with skin-loving vitamin c, vitamin e and those natural botanicals. so you get two great things: you get enhanced benefits as far as the anti-aging benefits, but you also get the soothing and the calming that your skin will really appreciate. >> there's one more step, step number three, which our miracle worker miraculous anti-aging moisturizer. this is no ordinary moisturizer. it guards against all signs of aging and it also helps to keep the moisture in the skin so it looks more plump and refreshed. >> miracle number three. so we have the cleanser, the pads, the moisturizer. three super-easy steps. >> heidi: but really unlike any anti-aging skin care regimen out there. >> more like a box of miracles.
3:03 am

3:06 am
missing. >> wasn't there on that day. >> no one ever found any
3:07 am
security video of that. and larry learned over the years that well-meaning people often get dates wrong. and larry learned a key fact. marty had actually participated in those early searches for lynsie. you eliminated marty fairly quickly then? >> yes. >> marty's behavior matched up with that of an innocent person, not with a guilty one? >> that's correct. he is actually doing exactly what you would do if you were looking for lynsie. he was searching. >> larry montgomery turned his attention to chris mcamis. guilty or innocent? chris was the last person known to be with lynsie. he told police he drove straight home after dropping lynsie off. and police found that fophoto o what looked like his truck heading north away from lynsie's neighborhood, which took him past this atm camera. >> the video from the atm camera, police at the time saw that as not iron clad proof that
3:08 am
chris was telling the truth, but suggestive that what he said, he actually did. >> correct. >> but when larry compared photos of chris' truck with the photos from the bank, he saw something no one else had noticed. the paint on the back of the side view mirrors on chris' truck was white. >> what about the truck in the photo? >> the truck in the photo had a dark spot in that area which means whatever mirrors were there, if there were mirrors there, were black. >> so it's not the same truck? >> that's right, they're not. >> suddenly chris' alibi had a big hole in it. he moved on to chris' history with women. two ex-girlfriends talked to police about how chris would become unhinged by rejection or what he called disrespect. larry heard about how chris had once crushed a pet crab with a hammer right in front of one of his girlfriends because he thought the crab had killed one of his fish.
3:09 am
>> this is a guy with significant anger issues. >> certainly appears that way. >> she told me it was from a car accident. >> larry listened to chris' interviews and caught him talking some of the time about l lynsie in the past tense. >> her hand was pretty much like this. >> larry found something in the paperwork from placentia pd that proved chris mcamis lied to the police early on about his whereabouts on saturday, february 17th, the day lynsie didn't come home. chris told the cops he stayed close to home. but larry checked chris' credit card statement. >> there was one entry february 17th, and it turns out it was santa clarita, 50 miles north of where chris lived. >> why would chris be in santa clarita? >> well, that's what i wanted to know. >> digging through the reports he found information about ch s
3:10 am
chris' dad, that he was in construction and that in 2000 and 2001, he had a job site in santa clarita. you can't tell now, but back in 2001, this was a major construction site. now chris had told police that he did not work for his dad that winter, that he was on unemployment. but larry saw some big cash deposits going into chris' bank account in addition to his unemployment checks. so he thought that kiss might have been working for his dad off the books. and larry came up here to ask around. >> and they told you it was chris' father's construction company? >> chris' father did some of the tractor work at that site. >> and chris worked there? >> and chris was one of the tractor drivers that the superintendent said was there every day. >> is this when you thought to yourself, that's where lynsie ekelund is? >> i thought chances are excellent if i killed lynsie and i was in chris mcamis' situation
3:11 am
and i had the use of a tractor out in the middle of nowhere, i mice might use that tractor to dig a hole to put her in. >> now all the evidence whisperer had to do was prove it. coming up, an undercover operation. were you armed? >> yes. >> and you were wear iing a wir? >> yes. >> could she help them get the proof they would need? >> color in his face went white. >> when "dateline" continues. oh...there you go. wooohooo....hahaahahaha! i'm gonna stand up to her! no you're not. i know. you know ronny folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico sure are happy. how happy are they jimmy? happier than a witch in a broom factory. get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.

3:15 am
it was october of 2010, nine years after her daughter disappeared. nancy ekelund was still waiting and doing what she could. she was now at 3,535 days without lynsie. she didn't know it, but a few miles away, larry montgomery was tightening the noose around chris mcamis. larry had recruited a motorcycle cop from a nearby town to go undercover. >> they needed a police officer who looked like a college student and didn't have the mannerisms of a police officer. >> she fit the bill. how were you dressed? >> jeans on and just a little
3:16 am
shirt, something that a college student would wear. but something that would also appeal to a guy. >> were you armed? >> yes. >> and you were wearing a wire? >> yes. >> hi, are you chris? >> yes. >> hi. my name is nicole arounderson. i'm from the fullerton college magazine. >> complete with a phony press pass, she knocked on chris' front door. chris had talked to a student reporter from lynsie's college in the past. >> did you use your real name? >> no, a fake name, told him who i was -- >> we just received word at the magazine that remains have been found that they believe belong to lynsie. i guess they're doing dna testing right now. in the meantime, i'm supposed to contact friends, family to get their initial reaction for a story. >> okay. >> when i told him that the police believed they found
3:17 am
lyns lynsie's remains, his demeanor changed. >> how? >> quite drastically, actually. i could see the color in his face went white. >> the police had not found lynsie's remains. that was a lie. police do it all the time and it's legal. in fact, larry had tried to find lynsie up at the construction location where chris had worked and he had gotten some interest from cadaver dogs, but nothing more. just down the street from chris' house, detective bryce angel of placentia pd, assigned to work with larry, was listening and keeping an eye on the action. so you're watching him while this interview happens on the front doorstep? >> yeah. i was sitting ten houses down, watching the reporter or the undercover police officer. once she left the area, we were in business. >> what happened? >> later that night, he was seen coming out of his house and going into the garage, lights go on. we're talking like 3:00 in the morning. it was clearly the sign of
3:18 am
somebody who couldn't sleep. >> detectives were sure they had ratelled their suspect. they trailed chris the next day when he left his house. >> at some day it became apparent that he knew we were following him. >> they broke off surveillance. and brought chris in. >> have a seat. >> larry had learned all about chris mcamis and looked at tape every time chris had been in for an interview. today, he and chris were going to meet for the first time. >> i have been investigating the case for about two years now. >> larry had a plan to get chris to talk without asking for a lawyer. >> you probably want to know what's go iing on, what's happening. why you're sitting here. >> larry promised to fill him in on the case in detail, thinking chris would want to know if the cops have the goods and then maybe he would have something to say. >> i do have to advise you of your rights, which i will do in a moment. after that, what i would like to do is explain to you everything.
3:19 am
>> larry read chris his rights and then before chris could really respond, larry laid out his case. he said he knew chris had never dr dropped lynsie off that night because the atm photo that at first fooled investigators actually proved chris wasn't there. >> it wasn't your truck. but for years, it was thought that it was your truck and it was not. in fact, your truck did not go by that night. it wasn't there. >> he told chris about the credit card statement and how he found someone who remembered chris working on the job site. all of a sudden, big red flags. you are working. you are up there when you said you were not. but he said you guys don't work on saturday. lynsie disappeared on a saturday morning. none of your credit card usage up there is on any weekend. all of it on weekdays except for the day lynsie disappeared.
3:20 am
so you're not up there working that day. >> he told chris the lie about lynsie being found. >> we took dna from mother and dad, had that checked against the body and now we've got lynsie up there, right in the area where you were, right at the time when you did not drop her off and we have enough to prove the crime. >> and knowing about chris' anger issues with previous girlfriends, larry summoned up a little empathy to draw chris in. >> i know you have that ability to be angry, but i don't know what would cause her to get you that angry, what she could have done. >> chris didn't say much until a little body language revealed that larry was on the right track. >> was it a premeditated thing? i didn't think it was. so what did she do? >> larry finished talking. he was hoping chris would give
3:21 am
it up. >> i think i need a lawyer to talk to you about this with me. >> well, that's up to you. >> the supreme court had made it pretty clear. if someone declares that they want an attorney, the interview is supposed to stop until one can be hired or provided. but in this case, larry was walking a line, believing that asking for a lawyer isn't the same as wondering if you need one. corrine loomis was watching from the other room. >> it's about as close as you can get to asking for a lawyer. were you holding your breath? >> yes. this was a make or break interview. if he didn't confess he was going to walk again. coming up -- >> i knew that was the moment of truth. >> years of mystery come down to one chance.
3:22 am
>> the other side of the story. >> what kind of story would he tell, when the night
3:23 am
i need to know what occurred so i do the right thing. because something happened to her. >> larry montgomery spoke for 45 minutes, giving chris mcamis everything he had. >> credit card usage. >> photo, the job site. >> how did you know lynsie? >> it's not a very convenient time. >> okay. >> phony story about finding the body and then the interview had suddenly stopped dead. >> i think i need a lawyer to talk to you about this with me. >> well, it's up to you. >> and because chris said i think i need a lawyer and not i want a lawyer, larry thought whatever came next would be
3:24 am
admissible in court. detective angel, who had been letting larry do the talking then spoke up. >> i knew that was the moment of truth and i had to interject something very quickly. >> chris, nobody likes to be labeled a monster. in this case, that's the way it's pointing. we want to hear the other side of the story. it that's why we're here now. i'm sure there was some circumstances that happened that night or that morning. >> he kind of sighed and he laid out a story. >> all right. what happened was -- >> and suddenly you realize -- >> this is it. he's going to give it up. i was sitting next to the detective from the other agency and i reached over and grabbed
3:25 am
his arm and i said he is going to confess. >> it was sad and it was ugly. >> she, uh -- i was going to take her home. >> okay. >> she was telling me, why don't i just sleep over your place, because i don't want to upset my mom. >> makes sense. >> as larry had suspected, chris never dropped off lynsie at that corner. >> i was trying to kiss her. and then she elbowed me in the chest and then i went to my -- i went to my kitchen in my apartment and i drank a lot of vodka. and then i went back and i tried to do the same thing. >> okay. >> she pretended to be asleep and i pulled her pants down and
3:26 am
i was totally drunk. >> okay. >> she got up, said, oh, my god, what are you doing? i'm calling the police. when i got up and walked to her, she tried to knock me out with my phone, with my home phone. >> did she -- >> to my face. yeah, like this to my face. >> okay. >> and being drunk, it enraged me. it set me on fire. and i grabbed her, threw her on to my bed and i got her into a head lock. >> okay. >> and she died. >> then what did you do? >> then i tried to figure out what i should do, because i couldn't believe how it just happened that way. >> quickly, huh? >> i couldn't believe it. i thought she was just going to pass out and i ended up killing her. >> that was it.
3:27 am
lynsie ekelund had been killed before anyone realized she was even missing. chris says he then drove up to the work site and used a skip loader to dig a hole. he held on to lynsie's body for a few days and then when no one was around, he buried her. >> does it feel better to finally no? >> no, because i was really devastated. there was a relief that, but i wasn't any happier because of it. >> after the confession, detectives left chris in the interview room with another detective to watch him. and chris simply could not stop talking. >> unbelievable. >> what's that? >> it's been so long. to finally -- you know, it feels better when you finally just say what you were supposed to say, you know? i know my life is ruined now.
3:28 am
you know, if i'm going to get the death penalty for this. >> you'll have to ask them those questions. >> then larry came back, always meticulous. he wasn't done. he wanted that final detail. where exactly chris had left lynsie. he explained to chris that even though they found her remains, which wasn't true, the grave site had shifted over the years from flooding. >> exactly where you dug the hole, where you parked. >> with the detectives, chris returned to the site that had become lynsie's final resting place. >> right where this tree is, i pulled my truck over and parked it. >> this tree to our left here? >> uh-huh, right where this tree is. >> okay. >> he wasn't sure of the exact
3:29 am
spot. >> it's over in this vicinity. >> but it could be way up there or way over here? >> from this tree all the way to that brush. >> that brush over there? >> yeah. >> it took more than a day of digging to find what was left of lynsie. first they found a shoe, then a jacket, and a bracelet. that's how nancy knew they had found her. the coroner confirmed it, using dental records. >> the back of my truck was over here. >> two years after he confessed, chris mcamis pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. his sentence is 15 years to life. >> you told me that you thought you had let this consume your life too much. >> oh, it did. it already -- it does to this daysday. >> well, now it's over. what are you going to do? >> i don't know. a new life is
