STEPHEN PANDOS: OK, this is Jennifer's note. So this is a photocopy of a note that was left when my sister disappeared. Jennifer was reported missing in February of 1987. I was in college at North Carolina. And for the first 22 years of her disappearance, you know, everything I've been told, you know, was a lie.

How I got all this information was for years of trying to do the right thing by Jennifer. In 2014, I reached out to an attorney in Williamsburg about whether I could sue my parents for the death of my sister. And it was not about money. I don't want money or, you know, anything. I just wanted a judge to say, you're responsible and you did it.
