quit one cigarette at a time. >>> it was a mean and bitter christmas for gary mcfarland the3 f1 yeare. the summer surf lost its appeal. >> the whole thing didn't make sense to me. >> didn't make sense because, no matter how thoroughly gary wished otherwise, janos kulscar was as free as a bird. >> kind of made me, you know, question the whole system. >> the cops were sure janos killed archie. gary was doubly sure, and yes -- >> he's still hoofing around, you know, breathing air and has all the freedoms that you and i have. just didn't seem right. >> perhaps not, but the cops were simply stuck. >> the murder weapon, the confession, or an eyewitness, we didn't have any of that. >> so the case went cold. not much more detective kroenke could do. >> you put it away, and then let some fresh eyes look at it later on down the line and see if there's something you missed. >> and then, a very strange development, not a police issue, but for gary, it was awful. it was a few years after the murder, gary was paying his mom's phone bill, and he noticed several calls back and forth to long beach. h
