Kristie Gunderson Lee memorial site
Originally aired: early 1997
Synopsis: Kristie Gunderson Lee was murdered in her Florida home on Mar. 31, 1994. Her husband Jeff was questioned at first regarding his wife's death but was ruled out as a suspect since he was at work at that time. Speculation has it that Kristie's parents-in-law are the culprits, given the bad blood between them and that they refused to take a polygraph test.

PACC: Parents Against Corruption & Cover-up
Profiles several cases that were covered up by police, some of them which were also featured on Unsolved Mysteries. Among the cases at the site:

• In 1991, Tommy Burkett was found dead in his parents' home, apparently from suicide according to police reports, even though obvious evidence proved otherwise.
• In 1986, according to police reports, Keith Warren committed suicide by hanging. Again, evidence constrasted to those reports.
• In 1992, Shelly Malone supposedly died by being trampled from her horse but her family suspects she was actually murdered. To make matters worse, attempts were made to discard evidence of the case.
• Jan. 1989: Jeffery Digman, who was in the military, was fatally shot in his house during Super Bowl Sunday. His death was ruled as a suicide, despite contradictory evidence. His death may have something to do with an assignment at a military base that involved drug tests.
