A 20 Year Nightmare Ends: Residents of Greenhills, Ohio, can't stop talking about what happened back in 1963. It's just about the biggest thing that's ever happened in this very small town. A 15-year-old high school cheerleader named Patty Rebholz was brutally strangled and beaten to death. You can find Patty's name and a message etched on the sidewalk leading to the town pool: "Knowing who, we wonder why. Her life too brief, but not forgotten." Correspondent Harold Dow reports on this unsolved murder.. The Boy in the Box: It was a strange funeral in Philadelphia. Nobody knew the boy being buried. They only knew that he was found dead more than 40 years ago. They were burying him again after digging him up from an anonymous grave in a potter's field.
