his chiropractor called america s most wanted and broward county team went out and pick them up. he had a scheduled appointments so they waited for him to show up at his chiropractors office. betrayed by a bad back, ron young is now in the hands of authorities. america s most wanted was there when ron was arrested on the old fraud charges and illegal possession of a handgun. and atf officer sat down with him for an interview. did you have anything to do with the bombing? no. i had no reason to blow up anybody or kill anybody. the big advantage to catching ron young wasn t what he said in that interview, was it? no. the big advantage to catching ron young is, he collected all our evidence for us. reporter: inside ron young s apartment in storage locker, investigators found a computer with emails, fedex receipts from aspen and a stash of audiotaped that young had
as time went by and there weren t any arrests, what do you think? maybe i m wrong about pam? maybe this will never be solved? no. i think part of me thought that in time, it would all be found out and that it just wasn t time yet. reporter: detectives waited too. until one day in 2005, when the tip came in from 2000 miles away. coming up . i helped you on something that was, beyond what anybody else in the world would probably do. reporter: secret tapes are about to warm up a cold case. there s plenty of stuff that i could dig out of the ground, literally. and you are a fried duck. the big thing with catching ron young is he collected all the evidence for us. the tapes turned out to be the
that he was extorting her. right. what was it that ron young could have on her, that she had to pay him $400, 000, if it wasn t the murder. and if those tapes did not persuade the jury, prosecutors had one more star witness. a woman who is about to share publicly a secret she had kept for a very long time. pam s husband gary and the gentleman i dated played golf together. her name is laura chapman, and she first met pam back in the late 80s. she was very sweet, very nice. the two became good friends, and laura had a front row seat to pam and gary s upscale lifestyle. they had a dining room table that actually came out of the floor, which i thought was a bit over the top, but it was interesting. it was a lifestyle that, laura, says pam was not pleased to part with one gary s finances started to crumble. to pam, that was more
