Default From what segments did they use clips for the "SOLVED" part of the intro?

Hi everyone. Lately I've been thinking of ways to get some new discussions going on here. This is one idea. Admittedly I can only start off with just a few but hopefully some of you out there can add to the list.

-Son of Sam
-1950 Nebraska church explosion
-1991 Henderson, NV bank robbery
-Reunion of a fomer solider with another former soldier who saved his life in Vietnam

I know the clip was removed from the fan site a long time ago but I still have the intro from a January 1991 episode saved on my computer. I wonder if anyone else does and can tell me something about the following clips:

-Police car chasing a van through what appears to be a gas station or a tollbooth
-Two shadowy figures dumping a body off of a bridge in twilight
-A woman wearing sunglasses shot while sitting in her car (done in slow motion)

What more can you come up with?

I think the first clip is from that story about the banker who was abducted from his home, forced to help rob his own bank, then tied to a chair, and thrown from a bridge while still alive. Sorry, I'm no good with names. I'm sure someone on here knows. I've seen the story discussed before. I think this was eventually solved.

The second clip is from a story about a woman who was shot in the face one day while driving to work. Once again, I don't know names. I do remember that the shooter drove a black Dodge pickup. The woman was driving down a more or less deserted stretch of road (I think she was using it as a short cut), and the assailant was driving the truck in front of her. He suddenly stopped, gut out of the truck and shot her. I also remember one of the investigators saying he was puzzled, as the woman had no known enemies, and a motive couldn't be established. Still unsolved to my knowledge.

Hope this helps.

Justin

Names or no names, I love reading about cases I've never seen. Thanks.

EDIT: Watching the video again, it does appear that the man being thrown off the bridge is tied to a chair. I think you're right, and I have seen that case mentioned here a couple of times.

The man who was thrown from a bridge tied to a chair (who may have still been alive) was named Dan Short. He was the president of a bank in Noel, Missouri. (Yet another case my grandparents told me about that I would later see on UM.) He was thrown into Grand Lake in Oklahoma. Turns out I'm going to both places the first week in August!

Noel's a really pretty town, but now it's eerie for me to go through there knowing what happened.
