[game plays on tv] - do you know why a good barman favors larger ice cubes? - they melt slower. - and they don't dilute the whiskey, the way a tight plan doesn't obscure its objectives. [click] is that to protect you from me? - no, but it might help against your sentry at the door. the silencer poking out of his crossword section was a pretty good giveaway. - [exhales] - i have my own cameras positioned all over, and a troop of operatives running recce on the wife. there's always someone close enough to kill her at a moment's notice, so put away the gun and have a drink. - i'd say you were a former mi-6,

- you're good on your feet, and you know your way around an asset. ex-cia? smashing. how much do you cost? - not for sale. - you're working for veldt? some kind of additional security? it doesn't matter. what matters is-- if you were caught, why didn't i kill the wife? - because the doctor hasn't broken any of your rules yet. - exactly, but my sense of propriety has its limits. now stay out of the park and away from the wife. this isn't your game, and no one's invited you to play. don't test me. i was expecting everything. - you weren't expecting me. [groans] - [groans]

[ekg beeping] - we'll be ready for you soon, doctor. [cell phone beeps] - dr. enright, i hate to bother you. - what are you doing in here? - do you remember me? from earlier today? - you're that donor--crane. - look, you may not believe this, but i know your wife, amy, and i know the predicament that you're in. i have an associate who's working now

- who are you? how do i know you're not working for that man? - this procedure was supposed to start 20 minutes ago, but i altered the hospital blood records to delay the surgery. in a moment, a nurse will come in here to explain the error. now listen to me carefully. we can't make wesley suspicious, but we'll save amy before you have to make the incision. - doctor, i checked the o-neg records downstairs. it's a computer mix-up. they're fixing the glitch. we have plenty of blood reserves. we should be ready to go shortly. - liz, this is dr. crane. i brought him in as a second scrub if i need help. - whatever you say, doctor. - help me. help us, amy and i,

- maddy has officially gone into the operating room, mr. reese. how are things in the park? - my drink with wesley didn't go so well, but we can count another one of his operatives out. he brought his own cameras and has every inch of this park monitored. - it seems that he too knows the value of surveillance. - what's worse-- if he chose his people well, we'll never pick his sleepers out of a crowd this big. - ports and trocar is inserted. i'll start the harvest of the mammary...artery. - is everything all right, doctor? - readjust the camera a millimeter along the main coronary, please. - how is that, doctor? increasing irrigation. applying more suction.

mr. reese, we're running out of time. i'm billy, and i quit smoking with chantix. i decided to take chantix to shut everybody else up about me quitting smoking. i was going to give it a try, but i didn't think it was going to really happen. after one week of chantix, i knew i could quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix definitely helped reduce my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, whichcould get worse or of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you haveheart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix.

use caution when driving or operating machinery. most common side effect is nausea. being a non-smoker feels great.

- mr. reese, maddy's holding it together somehow, but after that injection of heparin, veldt's a time bomb. any wrong incision at this point-- [cell phone rings] hold on. mr. tao, what did you find? - finch! bubby--

i hacked into the veldt corp. servers using a back door in their website and found a proposed multimillion-dollar project for offshore wind farms. veldt dismissed it. an "unsustainable pipe dream," he called it. that's an actual quote-- - leon. - i called an old drinking buddy at the s.e.c. who sent me blue sheets, monthly reports tracking stock activity. i found a series of short sales for veldt stock. it's trading at an all-time high, so someone's betting that the company fails big. that investor will make a fortune if the stock drops. - for instance, if the ceo underwent a secret surgery and died on the table. - yahtzee. - it must be wesley and his associates. they're financing their own operation. - i found an active server at the isp for those short sales. could be an interesting arbitrage opportunity here. i'll keep digging. - let me know the minute you find something.

- [whispers] still trying to secure your wife. - everyone, i'm going to need to take a short break for a few minutes. - are you all right, doctor? do we need to get someone in here to assist with the surgery? - no, that won't be necessary, liz. please monitor the patient's vitals, and i'll be right back. is there nothing more we can do? - i promise you-- my associate is close to getting amy out of danger. - [exhales] yeah, i just-- i need a minute. [cell phone rings] - why did you stop, doctor? i don't think you understand how serious this is. how about a little motivation?

i'm going to connect you to your wife now. you have 30 seconds, but do remember the rules and how much you have to lose. [cell phone rings] - ooh, sorry. i have to take this. hi, babe! i thought you were in surgery. - still going. i just, uh, took a break to catch my breath. - uh, it's nothing compared to yours, but it's been nuts here. the caterers didn't show for the donor picnic, and i had to scramble. - i'm sorry, ames-- um, i only have a minute. the timetable is...killer. i just wanted to hear your voice. - is everything all right? - totally fine. i love you. - i love you, too. hang in there. - [cries] - wesley knew the surgery was interrupted in less than a minute. - he must have eyes and ears in that hospital somewhere. we don't have a choice, finch. i'm getting amy out.

[shifting static sounds] - everybody has to stay in the plaza until we work this out. - excuse me. detective carter, homicide. - homicide? you got here pretty fast. we just called in shots fired a few minutes ago. uh, i don't know if there are any bodies yet. - there was shots fired inside? - some kind of botched robbery. - what is this place? - fujima techtronics research facility. alarms went off on the clean room floor, where they do r&d. guy got inside, had his exit blocked, shots fired, guards down, ambulance is on its way. we're clearing the building as we speak. - excuse me. - what's the status on those floor evacuations? - so what are you thinking? - diversion, then extraction. - so if you're the extraction, i'm the diversion? what do you need me to do?

hey, buddy--i'm working an abduction in the area. you see anything suspicious? - sorry, detective, i haven't, and i've been on the beat all morning. - hey--i didn't excuse you, officer. - what? - what are you, a probie? have a little respect when i talk. - i'm sorry, sir. i haven't seen anything. wish i could help. - yeah. i want your name, your badge, your social security number. where are you from? what precinct are you from? - hey, settle down, okay? i don't know why you're breaking my balls, detective. - you represent the nypd? i want some i.d. right now. [cell phone rings] - finch. - mr. tao? ah--that was fast. - me and bear-- we're a hell of a team. even with one arm, i'm still the fastest gun in the west. - yes, yes, back pats all around. what'd you find out? - well, i was snooping around the short seller server. that thing was a gold mine-- private medical forms signed by oliver veldt buried in a trash file. would you believe that? this is fun. this is what you and john do all day long?

- someone on the inside must've told wesley about the surgery. - who would've known in advance? this whole thing was supposed to be a big secret, right? - someone in veldt's company with knowledge of the surgery, familiar with its intricacies-- mr. tao, how quickly can you send me everything you've dug up? [cell phone rings] - oh... [line ringing] - i'm sorry, this isn't my phone-- - amy, we don't have a lot of time, so i need you to listen. i know your wife, maddy. she's a great surgeon. i know you two love each other, and i know you love pastries from a french bakery on the west side. personally, i think they use too much butter. - what? what's going on? - you and maddy are in a lot of danger right now, but i'm here to help you. - i don't know what you're talking about. - there are cameras watching you. i can direct you out of the park, and keep you off the radar from a lot of bad people, but you need to stay on that phone, and listen to me very carefully.

one wrong step, and it's over. [cell phone beeps] yes, finch. - mr. reese, according to maddy's timetable, we have less than two minutes to nick veldt's artery. please tell me you have amy somewhere safe. - i'm working on it, finch. - agent snow--freeze. turn around slowly. - there's no signal down here. she can't hear us. - what's goin' on, mark? - we don't have much time. i don't know what she's planning, but you have to tell our friend. whatever it is, it's big, and i can't stop it. - you killed a man for his i.d. to get inside that company, and then you shot a guard. why? - i had no choice.

she's on a mission with nothing left to lose. more people are gonna die. - i'll call bomb disposal, and i'll take you in. i'll get you out of this. - she won't let you. - she--who is she? [gunshot] [glass shatters] [gunfire] [breathes heavily] - mr. rains, we're on a clock-- and please, don't contact your british friend until you've heard me out. - british friend? what is this? - faxed to me by a friend. it's quite inclusive-- all the blue pages, the short sales,

the fake company, and all that confidential medical information that you shared with wesley. - wesley? who? - how much did they pay you to be their inside man? - inside man on what? - the plot to kill your boss. look, i have enough on you to send you to prison for a long time. on a good day, i just follow through with that. today, i'll bargain. all the evidence i have in exchange for your power to call this thing off. - why would i wanna kill oliver? after he recovers, we're supposed to re-examine a new energy project together. - the wind farm project-- you want that to be a reality? - i don't know what all this is. is oliver in danger? - if that's the truth and you didn't leak news of the surgery, who did? - how's that other operation we were discussing, doctor? - still in progress. - what are you doing?

doctor, you have to complete the procedure. - we have to stop this. everyone, i'm calling this-- i want you all to calmly exit the room. - what about the patient? - i'm declaring myself unfit to continue this procedure. i will stabilize mr. veldt, and then i will follow you. now go. everyone--go. - mr. reese, get amy out of there now. - listen up-- start walking to the 40th street exit of the park. - you had to do it the hard way, doctor. enough games. calling all units-- you are green-lit on the target, then proceed to exfil. - i'm staying with you, doctor. you can do this alone. - liz and i will move the tools from mr. veldt's chest cavity. i need you to go to the cabinets inside the scrub room

- whatever happens, you made the right decision. - wesley, the target is gone, and she's not on any of the cameras. - then someone is very, very smart. - keep moving, amy. - there! - you're almost there. - [groans] - [groans] - hi, i'm john. - amy. - let's get you out of here, amy. - hey, officer, do me a favor, will ya? tell your partner in the park i'm sorry for busting his balls like that. - partner? what partner?

- your wife should've listened. [ekg rapid beeping] - he's crashing. his bp is plummeting. he's going into v-tach. - you must've nicked an artery. - it was you. you made the incision. - no. you're the surgeon, doctor. i'm just the nurse. or, in this case, the backup plan. moderate to severe crohn's disease is tough, but i've managed. except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. and when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief.

humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. meet marvin. marvin thinks you have to be a brainiac to do your own taxes. so we brought in world-renowned brainiac, doctor s. james gates junior, to help him get started. marvin. you got a w-2. uh, yeah. i do. you got a finger. yes. take the finger and press it right here. [camera shutter]

yeah. intuit turbo tax. taxes done smarter. i knew that if i had ice in my water, it would just be so painful and i couldn't even drink it. i would like almost scoot the ice over and try to sip it very slowly so that it wouldn't trigger the pain. that's when i realized i had to do something. my dentist recommended that i use sensodyne. i think that sensodyne has been great in terms of reducing the sensitivity and pain that i was experiencing. now i can put ice in my water. sensodyne absolutely works, there you have it. let's get these dayquil liquid gels and go. but these liquid gels are new. mucinex fast max. it's the same difference. this one is max strength and fights mucus.

mucinex fast max. the only cold and flu liquid gel that's max-strength and fights mucus. let's end this. for person of interest provided by... some of my competitors plan to reduce the use of antibiotics over the next few years. but what are you having for dinner tonight? try perdue simply smart and harvestland . two trusted perdue brands of chicken raised with no antibiotics ever. - hey, officer-- about that abduction. - [groans] [groaning]

- just let him die. - i'm not gonna let him die. - understand what's at stake for you, doctor. it's just one life. - it's still a life. - stay with her. - i gave him protamine sulfate to coagulate his blood again... - oh... - but i'm gonna have to restart his heart, and i won't be able to do that from the outside. - what does that mean? - i'm gonna open him up, and you're gonna assist me. - i am? - pass me that, richardson.

that's it--i need you to pull with a lot of pressure, okay? i'm gonna take this finochietto retractor. now, hold the chest op-- okay, yeah. just keep it pulled. - i don't think i can-- - you can do it. need lots of suction so i can see this artery. that's it. there we go. okay, pass me the clamp. i'm going to clamp this now. suture it later to stop the arterial bleeding. now i'm going to begin open heart massage. all right. - oh, dear. look at it. it's squishy. - come on. [ekg beeps] we did it. we got him back.

- hey, mads. - i thought i was gonna lose you. - no. i'm here. i'm right here. [shifting static sounds] - sorry for the theatrics, mr. tao, but we couldn't have you turning up knocking on our door. - what if i was collecting for unicef? so veldt survived, huh? - and as long as he recovers, that stock won't dip an inch. all the conspirators will take a huge loss. - you defeated the bad guys. - with your help. - take that to mind and try to stay out of trouble, mr. tao. - [whistles] - you know, i'm not the kind of guy

that would let you down. - think we'll be seeing him again any time soon? - stranger things have happened. [cell phone ringing] - that's not your phone, mr. reese. - i took it off the sniper in the park. hello, wesley. - i just had to call and congratulate you on a game well played. - it wasn't a game. lives were at stake. and after that elaborate plan, you were no more than a common thief. - you know i'm much more than that. after our meeting, i knew you looked familiar. you're john reese. our paths have crossed before in istanbul at that market by the bosphorus. - i remember the market. i don't remember you. - well, that's the point. i was trained that way for a reason. those were the days. international manhunts.

drone strikes. now sometime we should finish that drink. i'm sure you and i would have a lot to talk about. until then. john f. kennedy, please. international terminal. - it seems wesley enjoys a good game, mr. reese. - and i'm sure we'll have the chance to play again. - been doing a little work on the side? - i'm a homicide detective, john. you know what i do. you shouldn't have brought me in on this if you didn't want me asking questions. - you sure it was snow? - i saw him fleeing the scene of the crime wearing a bomb vest. he looked desperate, helpless, like someone was holding him on a string.

said to tell you that she is planning something. something big. - who? - that's what i wanna know. do you know what this is all about, john? and if you did, would you even tell me? - you're one hell of a detective, carter. and i can't stop you from looking. but you already know quite a bit about me, finch, and you may know we both had people who once cared about us. not anymore. but you... you still have your son, your life is still yours. so i think the real question you have to ask yourself, detective...

straightening? damaging? fructis reloads hair with strength. fructis damage eraser one, with phyto-keratin it visibly repairs damage in one use. two, it seals in strength. hair is 3x stronger. damage eraser. fructis. stronger hair, stronger you. fact. advil pain relievers are used by more households than any other leading brand. to treat their aches and pains more people reach for advil. relief doesn't get any better than this.

she was very carefree, loving. she was amazing. i just can't tell you the feeling went through my mind. i couldn't think of anybody that would ever want to do what they did to her. >> amyjane was an angel. traveling the world with her church to help children. >> we loved amy. they loved amy so much. >> but back home something sinister lay waiting. >> it was a pretty horrific crime scene. >> a bright young life snuffed out. >> who would do that? it doesn't make any sense at all. >> months later a mom out for a

walk vanishes. >> karen's gone. i don't know where she is. i just cried. >> one murder, one disappearance but soon police would discover a creepier connection. >> one of the detectives had gotten his hands on an image of amyjane brandhagen and karen lang together. >> oh, my god. >> the dead teenager and the missing mom arm in arm. >> in that moment most of us coincidence. >> was someone stalking the women of this tight-knit church? this sounds more like a zodiac-type killer. >> absolutely. >> a race to connect the dots revealing a truth darker than anyone imagined. >> i don't get that. i mean, it's just evil. >> i'm lester holt. and this is "dateline." here's keith morrison with "someone was out there." there are children born into

never ends.tained. for whom exuberance is uncontainable. >> amyjane. what are we doing right now? >> we're riding on the roof of a car. >> there was this young woman, a sprite really in a young woman's body who loved adventure and people and who danced to music no one else could hear. which is why -- >> it haunted me. this case haunted me. >> haunted the police. haunted the whole town. >> is there a serial killer around? >> a serial killer with plans for two women in one particular church in one particular photograph? >> i was like this is insane and everybody needs to find this person. >> yes. but it began with that girl, that sprite. >> just the freest spirit that you could think of. like literally not having a care in the world. >> kate cook is talking about her friend and fellow missionary

amyjane brandhagen. talking about her now that it's happened, that it's all over. kate and amyjane went to india and nepal together back in 2012. small town girls, kate from wisconsin, amyjane from oregon. >> she's always ready to give and pour her heart out to people and just give everything she had to offer. >> they were there three months for something called youths with a mission. or ywam for short. like tourists they went to the taj mahal. like preachers, they spread the word. to children, mostly. for whom amyjane was magnetic, irresistible. >> they would see her and run up and say the word that means sister, sister. so excited. >> when the three-month mission trip was over. >> she hated it. she was like i don't want to go home. >> home for amyjane was a universe away from vibrant

teeming india. here it is. pendleton. safely tucked into a small valley on the vast rolling flanks of eastern oregon. cowboy country. >> ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the pendleton roundup! >> home to one of the nation's biggest rodeos, the pendleton roundup, which each september celebrates the town's rough and tumble past as a brawling and bordello-filled cow town. and then good conservative citizens wave good-bye to the parting cowboys and settle into a safe and predictable life and fill the pews every sunday morning without fail. people like bill caldera, who was like family to amyjane and her parents, jim and kathy brandhagen. >> they brought amyjane home

and they brought her home. little girl from the very beginning. you watched amyjane grow up. >> yes. >> and saw what sort of girl >> she is very carefree, loving, didn't know a stranger. >> the brandhagens asked bill to speak for them after what happened when they sorely needed their church family at pendleton free methodist. like youth minister jeff hummel and his wife lisa who encountered the dancing sprite when she was in middle school. >> if she got the feeling that you were left out, she'd find you and make sure that you knew you had a friend. >> little bit like pippi longstocking. >> i always remember she knew everyone's name. she was just fun. >> one year when she was far away in india, the people who loved amyjane worried a lot. and didn't breathe easy until she returned home to the safety and security of pendleton.

>> she was waiting for god to tell her what to do next. whether it was going to be to travel the world or go back or go to school. >> she wanted more freedom too, so she moved out of her parents' house and got herself a little apartment in downtown pendleton. worked two jobs to pay for it including a job cleaning motel rooms at the travelodge across from city hall. >> she was excited to get this other job, but she wasn't so sure about working at the hotel. she was a little nervous about it. >> after all she'd never done that sort of thing before, or answered to a boss who -- this one sounded gruff. but she went. and she scoured and scrubbed those little rooms that looked out on downtown pendleton. and then it was august 14th, 2012. >> 911, what is your emergency? >> i am calling from travelodge, there's a girl dead in the bathroom. i don't know. >> a girl dead in the bathroom? >> i think she's passed out.

>> okay. i'm going to get the police and ambulance headed that way, okay? >> in his office down the hall from the 911 operator, bill caldera listened and felt the dread flood in. >> just gave me a feeling in the pit of my stomach that something was not good about this call. >> bill, remember, was a close friend of the brandhagen family, attends the same church. but he's also a policeman. and that day with the chief on vacation, lieutenant bill caldera was the man in charge. >> as soon as one of my patrol sergeants arrived on scene he requested my presence which i knew then we would probably be dealing with a homicide. >> as he raced to the motel he couldn't know what had just been started there any more than whose life had just ended. >> what this veteran investigator was about to find would leave him stunned. >> i just can't tell you the feeling that went through my mind.

may be impossible to solve thanks to a suspect list that could include anyone and everyone. >> within the first hour of being at the crime scene upwards of 50 people walked by. [cough, cough] mike? janet? cough if you can hear me. don't even think about it. i took mucinex dm for my phlegmy cough. yeah...but what about mike? he has that dry scratchy thing going on. guess what? it works on his cough too. cough! guess what? it works on his cough too. what? stop! don't pull me! spoiler alert! she doesn't make it! only mucinex dm relieves bothwet and dry coughs for 12 hours with two medicines in one pill. start the relief. ditch the misery.

red 97! set! red 97! did you say 97? yes. you know, that reminds me of geico's 97% customer satisfaction rating. 97%? helped by geico's fast and friendly claims service. huh... oh yeah, baby. geico's as fast and friendly as it gets. woo! geico. expect great savings and a whole lot more. laundry can wreak havoc on our clothes, ruining them forever. sweaters stretch into muumuus. and pilled cardigans become pets. but it's not you, it's the laundry.

if god had a plan for pendleton, oregon, on the afternoon of august 14th, 2012, one could hardly have imagined it would be this. >> 911, what is your emergency? >> there's a girl dead in the bathroom.

>> lieutenant bill caldera prepared himself as he drove over to the travelodge and then climbed the stairs to room 231. all the preparation in the world could not have been enough. lying on the bathroom floor her lifeless body punctured by the startling scarlet of a dozen stab wounds was the sweet free spirit he'd known since she was a baby, 19-year-old amyjane brandhagen. >> it just felt like somebody kicked me in the pit of my stomach. i just can't tell you the feeling that went through my mind. >> almost like she was your kid in a way. >> very much. >> lieutenant caldera took it upon himself to notify amy jane's parents. >> and that was probably the toughest thing that i've ever had to do in my career. and i can't tell you the feeling we all had. we broke down in tears. >> but why would anyone want to kill amyjane of all people? >> i was crushed.

like how is this even possible? i was speechless. the bathroom for probably the next hour like not understanding, like craziness. >> as word spread through amy jane's church family, so did the questions. high school youth pastor chris thatcher. early on was there any indication of who may have been responsible? >> i don't think anybody had any idea. i think that's what made this so hard is that so many of us, we know each other. we're family here. >> but there was the dismal work to do. lieutenant caldera returned to the motel where amy was murdered. it would be pretty hard for you to take part in an active investigation. >> no, i wouldn't have. i couldn't have. not with my relationship. >> lieutenant caldera turned the case over to detective sergeant rick jackson. >> it was a pretty -- pretty horrific crime scene. >> it was obvious amyjane fought for her life.

blood spattered the walls. dna of a male presumably her attacker would be found under her fingernails. but the medical examiner said it was not a sex attack. and it wasn't robbery either. amyjane's purse and cell phone were still right there on the bedside table. and nobody saw a thing. even though -- >> this is during broad daylight with a motel room door -- with motel room doors open. >> the only potential witness, if he was a witness at all, was a painter working at the motel who said he saw a young man with longer hair, darker skin, perhaps hispanic or native american, walking near the back parking lot. >> it may have been the person who did it and it may not have been. >> could have been somebody passing by. >> sure. while we were there she was in the first hour of being at the crime scene. upwards of 50 people walked by. i mean, this is a pretty busy area of town. >> busy, yes. and studded with cctv cameras.

banks, bridges, city hall, walking trails along the river that runs through town. detectives painstakingly went through the footage. >> there was nothing. >> they took dna from dozens of motel guests to check against the sample taken from amyjane's fingernails. wasn't any of them. so detective jackson went to the people who knew amyjane well, or perhaps romantically. those stab wounds were all focused around her heart, which often indicates some kind of crime of passion. but -- >> i think most of the males we spoke to really viewed themselves as her protectors. >> pendleton police chief stuart roberts hurried back home from his abbreviated mexican vacation and encountered a case going nowhere fast. >> everybody that knew her characterized her in the same way. she knew no stranger. she didn't have an evil bone in her body. >> as the investigation entered its second week, amyjane's family prepared a memorial service at the church where they'd raised their daughter.

it was one of her favorite things to do go out barefoot and dance in the rain because she just loved it. the morning of her memorial service there was a loud clap of thunder that came over town about 6:30. and several of us heard it. i think we knew. >> up there dancing in the rain somewhere, huh? >> i think she was. >> together we pray, in jesus' name, amen. >> hundreds crowded into amy jane's church. and many like jed and lisa hummel were amazed by the strength of amyjane's parents. >> they were hurting deeply, but they weren't looking for vengeance. >> me, on the other hand, i was just ticked. i was like this is insane. and everybody needs to find this person. >> oh, they were certainly trying. even at that very moment. >> we had about 10 to 12 undercover officers s and about

the memorial service looking for anybody that would strike us as odd. >> but no one stood out. >> hang in there, caleb. hang in there. >> a month after the murder, the famous roundup filled the streets as usual. and then they emptied again. and as the autumn wind turned raw, detective jackson's investigation chased down every lead and got nowhere. >> we call them rabbit trails. we ran hundreds of rabbit trails down. >> the holidays came and went, holidays for other people. not detective jackson. not chief roberts. >> it haunted me. this case haunted me. >> and then a spring breeze dipped into the pendleton valley, curled its warming fingers into secret corners and came out whispering a name. coming up -- >> we've gone for months with nothing and now this. >> out of the blue, a tip.

six months after the murder of amyjane brandhagen, investigators finally caught a break. a county jail inmate looking for a deal got word out to the cops. he claimed to know who killed amyjane. >> i mean, we'd gone for months with nothing and now this. >> there were two of them, said the inmate. ira draper and eric torres, both well-known to local law enforcement. who soon confirmed the men were in therea the day of the murder. they found torres first. and looked like they were on to something. torres said, yes, he was in on it. but he didn't kill her. it was the guy he was with, he said. draper, who went into the motel room and came out very bloody. >> he basically tells them, yeah, i was driving the getaway car. >> it was his buddy who did the killing, he said. ira draper.

girlfriend. she's going, i always believed he potentially could have done this. he's aggressive. and he has these journals. and there are journal entries about defiling women and killing and burying them. >> they found and questioned draper who said he understood why he was a suspect. >> have you ever thought about killing anybody? >> i've never really planned it out, but maybe thought about it, yeah. >> but after a few minutes with draper, jackson had a familiar sinking feeling. >> he was very much so enamored by the fact the police were giving him attention. >> he was playing you. playing it for all it was worth. >> he was getting a little street cred for it. >> the dna confirmed it was all an act. two unpleasant men, the police said, who seemed to be enjoying themselves at the expense of the cops.

by august 2013 it had been almost a full year since amy jane brandhagen's murder in pendleton. investigators had exhausted hundreds of leads. and themselves. >> i knew it was having an impact on my physiological health as well as my mental health. >> on august 8th the chief took his family out of town for some r and r. and the very next day a woman named karen lange happened to be a member of amyjane's church announced to her husband dan she was going for a walk. >> and she came down. and i'll never forget what she said. she said, well, you know, i was thinking that we can maybe go out for dessert afterward. >> karen was an accomplished dan vice president of the local community college. her walk along the river levee in downtown pendleton, the river walk was almost a daily habit. it was 4:30 p.m. lots of sun left on the warm august afternoon.

>> and the last words she said to me were, well, i guess we'll just have a nice boring evening. >> dan went back to tinkering on his motorcyc. lost all track of time. it was dark when his son walked into the room and asked an innocuous question. >> where's mom? i said, well, i don't know. i'll give her a call. so i went -- i tried to make the phone call, and i couldn't get hold of her. >> but it was after 9:30 p.m. karen usually walked for less than an hour. she'd been gone for five. in some people anxiety stokes panic. dan is not like that. it's a coping mechanism, he stays calm. he made another call. >> long day, 10:00 at night. my phone rings. i answer, hi, dan. >> remember jed and lisa hummel? friend of amyjane's from church? karen always parked their car in front of her house when she took her late afternoon walks. >> says, is karen at your house?
