 Inside this sparkling edifice   12 00:00:10,176 --> 00:00:12,545   lives a community of            world-class performers          13 00:00:12,579 --> 00:00:15,749 and crew members who've          made it a second home.           14 00:00:16,449 --> 00:00:18,618    - They bring in the best.     15 00:00:19,586 --> 00:00:22,255 What a wonderful pool of talent. 16 00:00:24,190 --> 00:00:27,560

00:00:39,339 --> 00:00:41,775   is if she was incapacitated.   22 00:00:42,509 --> 00:00:44,677  - [Alan] Investigation          leads detectives                 23 00:00:44,711 --> 00:00:47,680

 - He goes into a rage.          31 00:01:11,504 --> 00:01:13,473 He takes out his hammer.         32 00:01:13,506 --> 00:01:16,342    - Whoever did this               was very familiar             33 00:01:16,376 --> 00:01:18,211  with the opera house.           34 00:01:18,244 --> 00:01:21,181 - And that person could            be here right now.             35 00:01:22,215 --> 00:01:24,818   - [Alan] The killer must be       someone in the building.      36 00:01:26,219 --> 00:01:28,354   A real-life Phantom             of the Opera.                   37 00:01:28,388 --> 00:01:31,291

- Lincoln Center                    is just wonderful.            41 00:01:52,412 --> 00:01:55,248   And the Metropolitan              right there in the middle,    42 00:01:55,281 --> 00:01:57,350 like the biggest jewel.          43 00:01:57,383 --> 00:01:59,786 - The opera has                   always been the pivot           44 00:01:59,819 --> 00:02:02,388  around which society twirled.   45 00:02:02,422 --> 00:02:04,891   Without things like            the Metropolitan Opera,          46 00:02:04,924 --> 00:02:07,260    New York is just                 another big city.             47 00:02:07,293 --> 00:02:08,761 - This is vast.                  48 00:02:08,795 --> 00:02:11,364    This is really high-class.    49 00:02:11,397 --> 00:02:16,136  The Metropolitan Opera House,      the mecca of grand opera.     50 00:02:16,169 --> 00:02:18,671 [pensive music]                  51 00:02:18,705 --> 00:02:21,674    - [Laura] This being the         Metropolitan Opera House,     52 00:02:21,708 --> 00:02:26,779 we all did, I think, feel safe,    until after this happened.     53 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,884 - Nothing like this had            ever happened in our world.    54 00:02:33,686 --> 00:02:35,688   - [Alan] On July 23rd, 1980,   55 00:02:35,722 --> 00:02:39,125 the Berlin Ballet is the           visiting company at the Met.   56 00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:42,162 - The night of the performance,  57 00:02:42,195 --> 00:02:45,265   it was a traditional              program of ballet,            58 00:02:45,298 --> 00:02:48,835 standard repertoire, and         some unusual repertoire,         59 00:02:48,868 --> 00:02:50,403  which we weren't involved in.   60 00:02:52,572 --> 00:02:55,542 - [Laura] The orchestra members   could leave the orchestra pit   61 00:02:55,575 --> 00:02:58,711 because the next ballet          was to recorded music,           62 00:02:58,745 --> 00:03:01,181  and after that, there            was an intermission.            63 00:03:01,214 --> 00:03:05,785  So they had a relatively long    period of time not performing.  64 00:03:06,753 --> 00:03:07,687 - [Alan] But after intermission, 65 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,690    when the orchestra            files back into the pit,         66 00:03:10,723 --> 00:03:12,425 there's something amiss.         67 00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:13,860   - [Clay] The only thing that      stood out                     68 00:03:13,893 --> 00:03:17,397 was that Helen didn't come back. 69 00:03:17,931 --> 00:03:19,933    But her violin was there.     70 00:03:21,234 --> 00:03:22,835   - [Alan] 31-year-old            Helen Mintiks,                  71 00:03:22,869 --> 00:03:24,737   a beloved violinist               in the orchestra,             72 00:03:24,771 --> 00:03:26,439 would never miss a cue.          73 00:03:28,508 --> 00:03:31,477   - [Clay] It was a very tense   moment when Helen didn't show up 74 00:03:31,511 --> 00:03:34,314    because she was a              very reliable person.           75 00:03:35,915 --> 00:03:38,218  My wife, who was also            a violinist,                    76 00:03:38,251 --> 00:03:39,452 moved up into that chair         77 00:03:39,485 --> 00:03:43,456  so there would not be an open     seat in the violin section.    78 00:03:43,489 --> 00:03:45,325   The show must go on.           79 00:03:46,659 --> 00:03:49,696   [audience clapping]            80 00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:54,000    When the performance ended     and the audience left,          81 00:03:54,033 --> 00:03:56,236   the orchestra moved            out of the pit                   82 00:03:56,269 --> 00:03:57,870   and towards the locker room.   83 00:03:57,904 --> 00:04:00,306    We expected to see Helen,     84 00:04:00,707 --> 00:04:02,575  but she wasn't there.           85 00:04:04,544 --> 00:04:06,479 - The only reason that              Helen would not come back     86 00:04:06,512 --> 00:04:11,251    to pick up her violin is         if she was incapacitated.     87 00:04:11,284 --> 00:04:14,654  It was worth, I think,            20,000 or something.           88 00:04:14,687 --> 00:04:16,623   That violin was so precious.   89 00:04:18,424 --> 00:04:20,393   - [Clay] And so there was a       certain amount of             90 00:04:20,426 --> 00:04:23,496  natural anxiety because we're     a group of friends.            91 00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:25,765   We look out for each other.    92 00:04:25,798 --> 00:04:30,270    You really feel like there       is a family of musicians.     93 00:04:30,303 --> 00:04:32,372  And we discussed for some time  94 00:04:32,405 --> 00:04:35,775   what was the procedure here      when somebody disappeared.     95 00:04:37,443 --> 00:04:39,045   In all my years of playing,    96 00:04:39,078 --> 00:04:41,014    it's the only time               it ever happened.             97 00:04:42,715 --> 00:04:44,684   - [Alan] Helen's colleagues    wonder if she went home          98 00:04:44,717 --> 00:04:47,887   to the apartment she shares     with her husband Janis nearby.  99 00:04:48,688 --> 00:04:51,424 - [Clay] There was communication with the stage manager,          100 00:04:51,457 --> 00:04:54,394 and they tried calling her home  101 00:04:54,427 --> 00:04:57,297    to see if she was at home.    102 00:04:57,330 --> 00:04:58,965 [phone ringing]                  103 00:04:58,998 --> 00:05:00,667  But nobody picked up.           104 00:05:02,568 --> 00:05:04,671   - [Alan] Unbeknownst to the    stage manager,                   105 00:05:04,704 --> 00:05:08,308    Helen's husband Janis was     already on route to the theater, 106 00:05:08,341 --> 00:05:10,843  as he routinely picks           her up at the stage door         107 00:05:10,877 --> 00:05:12,512 after her performances.          108 00:05:13,346 --> 00:05:15,548 But Helen never emerges             from the theater              109 00:05:15,581 --> 00:05:17,550   and Janis goes home.           110 00:05:18,351 --> 00:05:20,653   However, he doesn't             find her there either.          111 00:05:21,454 --> 00:05:24,724 As his worries grow, he            receives a surprise visitor.   112 00:05:24,757 --> 00:05:26,092    [doorbell buzzes]             113 00:05:26,125 --> 00:05:28,695 - [Judith] One of the musicians     in the orchestra              114 00:05:28,728 --> 00:05:31,597   returned her violin               to her apartment.             115 00:05:31,631 --> 00:05:33,833    By that time, he                was in total panic,            116 00:05:33,866 --> 00:05:37,070    and he called the police.     117 00:05:37,537 --> 00:05:39,439   [police car blaring]           118 00:05:39,472 --> 00:05:42,342 - [Det. Bruno] The call came in     sometime before midnight.

 We don't know if she's             somewhere inside.             129 00:06:04,063 --> 00:06:05,998    So there's a lot                 of unknowns here.             130 00:06:06,032 --> 00:06:08,368

   She was a beautiful woman        and a very fine violinist,    135 00:06:21,647 --> 00:06:25,151   and a very kind and               friendly person.              136 00:06:25,184 --> 00:06:28,621

   We just struck up             a conversation,                  139 00:06:34,527 --> 00:06:37,764 and we found out that we          both were Scandinavian          140 00:06:37,797 --> 00:06:39,899    and that we both                 were from a farm.             141 00:06:40,767 --> 00:06:45,938  She was from a poultry farm in   Aldergrove, British Columbia.   142 00:06:45,972 --> 00:06:48,040  And we sort of                    stared at each other           143 00:06:48,074 --> 00:06:50,376  and, you know, it was             like seeing myself.            144 00:06:52,812 --> 00:06:55,948  - [Alan] But in New York City,    Helen was far from the farm,   145 00:06:55,982 --> 00:06:58,818 tending to a blossoming           music career.                   146 00:06:58,851 --> 00:07:00,686   - [Judith] Helen was really,   really good at her job.          147 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,089 She could play whatever             they put in front of her.     148 00:07:03,122 --> 00:07:05,925   But she also brought people       cookies and cheesecakes,      149 00:07:05,958 --> 00:07:09,529 and was just a dream to             work with. Very friendly.     150 00:07:09,562 --> 00:07:11,164 So who wouldn't                     want to hire her?             151 00:07:12,165 --> 00:07:14,934    She wanted to play             solo concerts.                  152 00:07:14,967 --> 00:07:19,806   Her goal was to be a really      serious concert violinist.     153 00:07:21,741 --> 00:07:22,975 - [Alan] Helen's fellow             musicians                     154 00:07:23,009 --> 00:07:24,444   explained to law enforcement   155 00:07:24,477 --> 00:07:26,446 that departing mid-show           would damage                    156 00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:28,448   her professional reputation.   157 00:07:28,481 --> 00:07:31,984  She wouldn't have left unless     something was really wrong.    158 00:07:32,018 --> 00:07:34,821 And detectives discover          it's not the only thing          159 00:07:34,854 --> 00:07:36,422  that's really off key.          160 00:07:38,157 --> 00:07:40,693 - [Laura] The orchestra,            they have lockers             161 00:07:40,726 --> 00:07:42,595    because you don't               necessarily want to be going   162 00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:46,833 all around town in your           formal black outfit.            163 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,969   - [Det. Bruno] In the locker   room where the orchestra         164 00:07:50,002 --> 00:07:53,806    put their belongings, they       found her street clothing.    165 00:07:55,875 --> 00:07:57,143  - [Det. Boyce] We come to the     realization                    166 00:07:57,176 --> 00:08:00,146   she's dressed in her             performance attire.            167 00:08:00,179 --> 00:08:02,582  So that changes a lot.          168 00:08:02,615 --> 00:08:04,750   She never left the building.   169 00:08:04,784 --> 00:08:07,119    She's still here.                Let's go find her.            170 00:08:09,288 --> 00:08:12,124  So you have 10 floors             you got to search.             171 00:08:12,158 --> 00:08:14,861 - [Alan] With a space as         vast as the Met,                 172 00:08:14,894 --> 00:08:17,797   the night patrol is               in over its head.             173 00:08:18,664 --> 00:08:20,266  As Helen's colleagues             from the orchestra             174 00:08:20,299 --> 00:08:24,036 depart the opera house,            the police call in back up.    175 00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:25,872  - [Det. Bruno] I got a call, I    was at home,                   176 00:08:25,905 --> 00:08:29,475    and they said, "John, go         over to the opera house",     177 00:08:31,544 --> 00:08:35,181  the main theater, can           hold up to 4,000 people.         178 00:08:35,214 --> 00:08:38,618   And behind the stage             is a very big area.            179 00:08:39,352 --> 00:08:42,188  - I've seen the statistics of    how many stairwells there are,  180 00:08:42,221 --> 00:08:43,890 like 40 or something like that,  181 00:08:43,923 --> 00:08:45,658    and I don't know                how many elevators.            182 00:08:45,691 --> 00:08:49,095    But you can make a wrong        turn and be lost for weeks.    183 00:08:50,329 --> 00:08:52,064   - [Alan] The team of             detectives inspects            184 00:08:52,098 --> 00:08:55,034    all the nooks and crannies    of the massive building.         185 00:08:56,068 --> 00:08:58,905    They get their first lead     on Helen's whereabouts           186 00:08:58,938 --> 00:09:00,806  as day breaks.                  187 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,910 [birds chirping]                 188 00:09:03,943 --> 00:09:06,178   - [David] The cops have been      working all night.            189 00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:09,215   Maintenance workers come the      next morning on the roof,     190 00:09:09,248 --> 00:09:11,517   and they find a pair              of women's shoes.             191 00:09:14,253 --> 00:09:16,088   - [Alan] The black              shoes match the color           192 00:09:16,122 --> 00:09:18,224  of the orchestra's dress code.  193 00:09:18,257 --> 00:09:20,826 With Helen thought to be          still in the building,          194 00:09:20,860 --> 00:09:24,063  detectives believe the            shoes must be hers.            195 00:09:24,931 --> 00:09:27,099    - [Det. Boyce] Those shoes       changed the game.             196 00:09:27,133 --> 00:09:28,968   She's on that roof.            197 00:09:29,001 --> 00:09:31,971 - [David] That is the first sign  that they're convinced          198 00:09:32,004 --> 00:09:33,773 something terrible has happened. 199 00:09:34,674 --> 00:09:37,710   - [Alan] Finally, police are    able to narrow down the search  200 00:09:37,743 --> 00:09:39,812  and concentrate their            efforts on the roof.            201 00:09:40,713 --> 00:09:44,116 But this plan of action            brings a daunting challenge.   202 00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:45,985  - [Det. Boyce] The roof of the  Met is massive.                  203 00:09:46,018 --> 00:09:48,254   It's rambling. It's               different layers,             204 00:09:48,287 --> 00:09:50,089    alleyways, shafts.            205 00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:54,961    As the detectives fan out,    206 00:09:54,994 --> 00:09:58,264  searching each little            crevice, these shafts,          207 00:09:58,297 --> 00:10:01,233 a detective looks into a         shaft 30 to 40 feet down         208 00:10:02,868 --> 00:10:04,604  and says, "Oh my God."          209 00:10:04,637 --> 00:10:06,238    Laying on a steel girder,     210 00:10:07,139 --> 00:10:08,975 he sees a woman's body.          211 00:10:10,176 --> 00:10:12,845    She has no clothes            on, she's nude.                  212 00:10:12,878 --> 00:10:14,614 And this woman has blonde hair,  213 00:10:14,647 --> 00:10:16,248  that distinctive blonde hair.   214 00:10:16,916 --> 00:10:19,118  - [Det. Bruno] And the body is    not moving.                    215 00:10:19,151 --> 00:10:20,920  We got something here.          216 00:10:21,354 --> 00:10:25,591  It was obvious that that body      was Helen Hagnes Mintiks.     217 00:10:28,194 --> 00:10:31,163   She was hung up on a             couple of the beams            218 00:10:31,197 --> 00:10:33,265    up around the third floor.    219 00:10:33,299 --> 00:10:35,868   We wanted to see the           body a little closer up.         220 00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:42,008    She's tied, in the nude,        hands tied behind her back.    221 00:10:42,808 --> 00:10:45,745   That could not have happened     on her own volition.           222 00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:49,749    - [Alan] The investigation       immediately switches gears    223 00:10:49,782 --> 00:10:54,186    from a missing person case       to something much darker.     224 00:10:54,220 --> 00:10:55,888  - [Det. Bruno] This person did     not jump.                     225 00:10:56,822 --> 00:10:58,658   It's not a suicide.            226 00:10:58,691 --> 00:11:00,660 The first thing we know            is this a homicide.            227 00:11:00,693 --> 00:11:03,129  [tense music]                   228 00:11:04,230 --> 00:11:05,731   - [Alan] Coming up.            229 00:11:05,998 --> 00:11:07,066   - [Clay] There's a certainty   230 00:11:07,099 --> 00:11:10,069  that whoever did this           horrible thing,                  231 00:11:10,102 --> 00:11:12,438 it had to be somebody among us.  232 00:11:12,471 --> 00:11:15,675    - [Laura] Someone who had      been working with us.           233 00:11:15,708 --> 00:11:18,444    And that was really scary.    234 00:11:18,477 --> 00:11:20,312  - [Clay] We just said, "Don't      ever go any place             235 00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:21,947 alone in the building."          236 00:11:21,981 --> 00:11:24,417  [tense music]                   237 00:11:28,754 --> 00:11:30,723 - [Alan] NYPD detectives         [dhave just discovered           238 00:11:30,756 --> 00:11:33,959 violinist Helen Mintiks          murdered in a roof shaft         239 00:11:33,993 --> 00:11:36,095  at New York's                      Metropolitan Opera House.     240 00:11:36,862 --> 00:11:38,998  They began to process              the crime scene,              241 00:11:39,031 --> 00:11:41,133   logging all evidence              that may lead them            242 00:11:41,167 --> 00:11:44,236 to who committed                   this horrible crime.           243 00:11:44,270 --> 00:11:46,238 [alarm blaring]                  244 00:11:46,272 --> 00:11:48,708  - [Det. Bruno] She was tied up    with a cord.                   245 00:11:49,575 --> 00:11:52,011   The hands were tied               behind the back,              246 00:11:52,044 --> 00:11:54,814    and the feet were               tied at the ankles.            247 00:11:56,182 --> 00:11:58,484  - [Det. Boyce] She was thrown   naked off the rooftop.           248 00:11:59,185 --> 00:12:00,853    Everything you're seeing,     249 00:12:00,886 --> 00:12:02,988  you're seeing sexual assault.   250 00:12:03,789 --> 00:12:05,524  - [Det. Bruno] There was blood    on the face.                   251 00:12:05,558 --> 00:12:08,094   The legs apparently              seemed to be broken            252 00:12:09,061 --> 00:12:11,130  as a result of a fall           253 00:12:11,163 --> 00:12:15,134   of approximately 30,             35 feet onto steel.            254 00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:21,874   And there was probably blunt      force trauma of the head.     255 00:12:23,943 --> 00:12:25,845  It was a very terrible thing.   256 00:12:26,812 --> 00:12:28,280 What happened that day?          257 00:12:30,916 --> 00:12:33,319   - [Alan] Now detectives have     the challenging job            258 00:12:33,352 --> 00:12:35,755   of breaking the news             to Helen's husband.            259 00:12:37,089 --> 00:12:38,891  - [Det. Bruno] Later on in the  morning,                         260 00:12:38,924 --> 00:12:40,926  we got to speak to Mr. Mintiks  261 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,195    and tell him that                we found the body

265 00:12:52,104 --> 00:12:55,174  To have her life taken            away in such a way,            266 00:12:55,207 --> 00:12:56,909 it's a terrible, horrible thing. 267 00:13:02,081 --> 00:13:05,084    - [Alan] Then, CSI hurries     to the roof of the Met          268 00:13:05,117 --> 00:13:07,319   and begins pouring              over the crime scene.           269 00:13:08,053 --> 00:13:10,890 They discover something             that may be a huge break.     270 00:13:11,857 --> 00:13:14,193   - [Det. Boyce] We're able to     obtain a palm print            271 00:13:14,226 --> 00:13:15,895    on the ledge, on the pipe.    272 00:13:16,962 --> 00:13:18,597 - [Det. Bruno] It's very            important                     273 00:13:18,631 --> 00:13:20,466   because it's the only print    274 00:13:20,499 --> 00:13:23,502    and it is a place               where it is unusual            275 00:13:23,536 --> 00:13:26,405    for a person to go               to sit on a pipe.             276 00:13:28,007 --> 00:13:30,376    But we don't even              know if it's connected          277 00:13:30,409 --> 00:13:31,944  with the body at all.           278 00:13:32,978 --> 00:13:34,079    - [Det. Boyce] There's no       scientific evidence            279 00:13:34,113 --> 00:13:37,616    that will show us exactly        how long it's been there.     280 00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:40,252   - [Alan] Police send             Helen's body out for autopsy   281 00:13:40,286 --> 00:13:43,522 and collect the rope for         a forensic examination.          282 00:13:43,556 --> 00:13:45,858   Taking stock of the              crime scene layout,            283 00:13:45,891 --> 00:13:47,259 detectives come to a conclusion  284 00:13:47,293 --> 00:13:49,228 based on where Helen was found.  285 00:13:49,929 --> 00:13:51,997   - [Det. Bruno] This is a big    place.                          286 00:13:52,031 --> 00:13:55,868    It was quite obvious that       whoever committed this crime   287 00:13:55,901 --> 00:13:58,537    was very familiar               with the opera house           288 00:13:58,571 --> 00:14:01,273  and where to go and how to go.  289 00:14:01,307 --> 00:14:03,509   No person from the audience    290 00:14:03,542 --> 00:14:05,878  or outside of the opera house   291 00:14:05,911 --> 00:14:07,980  could have known where to be.   292 00:14:10,449 --> 00:14:11,650    - [Alan] By late morning,     293 00:14:11,684 --> 00:14:15,120    the horrific event             becomes headline news.          294 00:14:15,154 --> 00:14:17,990    - [David] This is tabloid

297 00:14:24,029 --> 00:14:27,166   dangerous case for               the powers that be,            298 00:14:27,199 --> 00:14:29,568  because this was such             an important case,             299 00:14:29,602 --> 00:14:32,571   maybe one of a dozen           or half a dozen                  300 00:14:32,605 --> 00:14:35,274    most significant murders         in New York City history.

  I think one of the hardest       things after Helen's murder    304 00:14:46,452 --> 00:14:48,020   was that there's a certainty   305 00:14:48,053 --> 00:14:51,423 that whoever did                   this horrible thing,           306 00:14:51,457 --> 00:14:53,292  it couldn't                        been an outsider.             307 00:14:54,226 --> 00:14:56,161 It had to be somebody among us.  308 00:14:57,096 --> 00:15:01,200    - [Laura] The idea that a     murder had taken place           309 00:15:01,233 --> 00:15:03,435    right there where                we were working,              310 00:15:03,469 --> 00:15:06,672  and that person could             be here right now.             311 00:15:10,109 --> 00:15:11,477   - [Alan] With a case              this high-profile,            312 00:15:11,510 --> 00:15:15,080 the NYPD brings in their           top gun to lead it.            313 00:15:15,114 --> 00:15:17,316    - [David] Detective Jerry       Giorgio was famous             314 00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:19,351 in the department for being able 315 00:15:19,385 --> 00:15:22,488 to get a confession from         anybody calmly.                  316 00:15:22,521 --> 00:15:25,457  He taught generations           of homicide detectives.          317 00:15:26,225 --> 00:15:28,594    - [Alan] Detective Giorgio      and other detectives           318 00:15:28,627 --> 00:15:31,630    immediately speak                with Janis again.             319 00:15:31,664 --> 00:15:34,099 - [Det. Boyce] Detectives always   look at the husband.           320 00:15:34,133 --> 00:15:36,235   Is there strife? Is               there any kind of issues?     321 00:15:36,268 --> 00:15:39,338  We need to speak to find out    what's going on in their lives.  322 00:15:41,273 --> 00:15:42,641    - [Alan] Janis and             Helen had been married          323 00:15:42,675 --> 00:15:44,643  for about four years.           324 00:15:44,677 --> 00:15:48,047 - [Judith] Janis was a sculptor,  and he made all kinds of art.   325 00:15:48,714 --> 00:15:52,484 They met at a summer music camp. 326 00:15:52,518 --> 00:15:55,254   They just fell head             over heels right away.          327 00:15:55,287 --> 00:15:58,223   And it was sad when she had       to come back to New York.     328 00:15:58,257 --> 00:15:59,758    She never stopped                talking about him.            329 00:15:59,792 --> 00:16:01,627  But as Christmas came around,   330 00:16:01,660 --> 00:16:04,229    she called him up             and invited him                  331 00:16:04,263 --> 00:16:06,131   to come to New York             for Christmas.                  332 00:16:06,165 --> 00:16:09,635    So, from then on, I don't       think they were ever apart.    333 00:16:11,270 --> 00:16:12,504   - [Alan] Detectives               have a clear idea             334 00:16:12,538 --> 00:16:15,140  of the window of time             the murder occurred            335 00:16:15,174 --> 00:16:19,144   and need to see where Janis    fits in that timeline.           336 00:16:19,178 --> 00:16:20,412  - [Det. Boyce] So Helen gets a   break at 9:30.                  337 00:16:20,446 --> 00:16:22,681    This is about 45 minutes.     338 00:16:22,715 --> 00:16:25,150   She needs to be back           and ready to go.                 339 00:16:25,184 --> 00:16:27,119 So it probably                    happens in that time.           340 00:16:29,288 --> 00:16:31,023  - [Alan] Janis claims           he spent much of his day         341 00:16:31,056 --> 00:16:34,093   miles away from the            Met in lower Manhattan.          342 00:16:34,693 --> 00:16:37,396   - [Judith] One thing that a       sculptor needs is space.      343 00:16:38,263 --> 00:16:39,698    So he and a group                of other artists              344 00:16:39,732 --> 00:16:42,434  had purchased a loft downtown.  345 00:16:42,468 --> 00:16:45,804  He was very handy, I               mean, he could just build     346 00:16:45,838 --> 00:16:47,272   whatever needed to be built.   347 00:16:47,306 --> 00:16:49,308  So he was working on the loft   348 00:16:49,341 --> 00:16:52,011 at the time that she was            doing this job at the Met.    349 00:16:52,878 --> 00:16:55,681   - [Det. Boyce] He was with a   friend doing a project.          350 00:16:55,714 --> 00:16:57,383   Janis told Detective Giorgio   351 00:16:57,416 --> 00:17:00,152  that when it was time to pick      up Helen, walk her home,      352 00:17:00,185 --> 00:17:04,156   he left his friend and went     to the Met and waited outside.  353 00:17:04,890 --> 00:17:06,825    Detective Giorgio                went to the friend            354 00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:08,427  and took a statement from him.  355 00:17:11,096 --> 00:17:13,732  - [Alan] This friend confirms     that Janis was at the loft     356 00:17:13,766 --> 00:17:16,335  working during                    Helen's performance.           357 00:17:16,368 --> 00:17:18,337   - Detective Giorgio            called the DA and said,          358 00:17:18,370 --> 00:17:20,439  "We have a strong alibi here.   359 00:17:20,472 --> 00:17:23,842    He could not have               gone and done this."           360 00:17:23,876 --> 00:17:25,310    - [Alan] With time             of the essence                  361 00:17:25,344 --> 00:17:27,479  and hundreds of opera            workers to interview,           362 00:17:27,513 --> 00:17:30,482    the NYPD sets up a            makeshift command center         363 00:17:30,516 --> 00:17:31,717   in the Met's lobby.

   anxious, upset, concerned.    371 00:17:50,502 --> 00:17:52,504    - [Alan] While the            investigation continues,         372 00:17:52,538 --> 00:17:55,607    inside the Met, no               performances are canceled,    373 00:17:55,641 --> 00:17:58,243  despite its status as            an active crime scene           374 00:17:58,277 --> 00:18:00,612  haunted by the murder

an eerie feeling                 377 00:18:11,256 --> 00:18:14,893    to be sitting in the last      place that Helen sat.           378 00:18:14,927 --> 00:18:16,528   [audience clapping]

  late afternoon the next day,   384 00:18:34,813 --> 00:18:39,485  it felt very strange knowing    that someone had been murdered.  385 00:18:40,686 --> 00:18:42,688    - [Clay] The security was

 that the night                     Helen disappeared,            437 00:20:58,724 --> 00:20:59,825    she was watching the stars    438 00:20:59,858 --> 00:21:02,561   of the Berlin Ballet           from the wings.                  439 00:21:02,594 --> 00:21:05,564 - [Laura] I was backstage, and I    loved being able to watch     440 00:21:05,597 --> 00:21:09,901    Valery and Galina perform       the Don Quixote pas de deux.   441 00:21:10,636 --> 00:21:12,938   I was feeling very inspired.   442 00:21:12,971 --> 00:21:15,574 So I decided I was going         to go down to the studio         443 00:21:15,607 --> 00:21:16,908   and work by myself.            444 00:21:17,809 --> 00:21:19,578 - [Alan] Laura explains            that she went to go            445 00:21:19,611 --> 00:21:23,448 to one of the freight elevators     backstage to go practice      446 00:21:23,482 --> 00:21:26,585  and encountered some              colleagues she didn't know.    447 00:21:26,618 --> 00:21:30,322  - [Laura] So, as I was waiting    for the elevator to go down,   448 00:21:30,355 --> 00:21:34,426   there was a woman and a man,    and they came to the elevator.  449 00:21:34,459 --> 00:21:37,429   It probably was around 9:45.   450 00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:39,564 - [Det. Boyce] It's 9:30, break, 451 00:21:39,598 --> 00:21:41,967  9:45, they're walking              to the elevators.             452 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,436    Boom. It's that timeframe       you're looking for.            453 00:21:44,970 --> 00:21:47,739  - [Laura] The man was            dressed kind of like            454 00:21:47,773 --> 00:21:49,975   he was a technician             of some kind.                   455 00:21:50,742 --> 00:21:53,612   And then the woman             started speaking to me.          456 00:21:53,645 --> 00:21:57,115 She explained that she           was from the orchestra.          457 00:21:57,149 --> 00:22:01,887   She had a portfolio              with some examples             458 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,855  of her husband's work.          459 00:22:03,889 --> 00:22:07,459 He was an artist and a sculptor. 460 00:22:07,492 --> 00:22:09,027    - Helen tells Laura Cutler    461 00:22:09,061 --> 00:22:12,631  that she's looking to            speak to Valery Panov,          462 00:22:12,664 --> 00:22:14,032 a famous dancer.                 463 00:22:14,066 --> 00:22:17,035   - [Judith] Helen told me she     wanted to see Panov            464 00:22:17,069 --> 00:22:21,039 about the possibility of          getting work for Janis          465 00:22:21,073 --> 00:22:25,010  in stage sets, because          he could build anything.         466 00:22:25,043 --> 00:22:28,580    And he knew the top people      in all the ballet companies.   467 00:22:29,314 --> 00:22:32,651  Helen was really on a mission   to get to Valery Panov,          468 00:22:32,684 --> 00:22:33,785    and I think there                was just nothing              469 00:22:33,819 --> 00:22:36,154    that was going to               stop her from that.            470 00:22:36,188 --> 00:22:38,623   - [Laura] She really got my       attention                     471 00:22:38,657 --> 00:22:41,893    because she had something     that she really wanted.          472 00:22:42,494 --> 00:22:44,363 We got on the elevator.          473 00:22:45,497 --> 00:22:48,767   And then she asked me, "Oh,      what floor do I need to go     474 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,937   to find Mr. Panov?"            475 00:22:51,970 --> 00:22:54,072 - [Alan] Before                   Laura could chime in,           476 00:22:54,106 --> 00:22:55,907 the man on the                     elevator interjects            477 00:22:55,941 --> 00:22:58,910    that Panov's dressing room    was on the fourth floor.         478 00:22:58,944 --> 00:23:01,179   - And so I thought,              "Well, that's good.            479 00:23:01,213 --> 00:23:03,815    He clearly knows                 where he's going,             480 00:23:03,849 --> 00:23:05,617  so he'll be able to help her."  481 00:23:06,752 --> 00:23:09,955   I said, "Well, good luck. I    think it'll go well," you know?  482 00:23:09,988 --> 00:23:11,923  She said, "Thank you so much."  483 00:23:11,957 --> 00:23:13,959 And that was it.                 484 00:23:13,992 --> 00:23:17,763 I said goodbye, and the           doors closed, and I went off.   485 00:23:19,464 --> 00:23:21,099    - [Alan] Thanks to              Laura's realization,           486 00:23:21,133 --> 00:23:24,836    investigators finally have       two people to speak with,     487 00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:26,705 the unknown man in the elevator  488 00:23:26,738 --> 00:23:29,040   and the high-profile            Valery Panov.                   489 00:23:29,741 --> 00:23:31,443 - [Det. Boyce] We need to speak   to Mr. Panov                    490 00:23:31,476 --> 00:23:34,479  in regards to if this             woman ever came to see him.    491 00:23:35,847 --> 00:23:38,583  "Did this person ever            come and talk to you?           492 00:23:38,617 --> 00:23:39,985 And what did they say?"          493 00:23:40,018 --> 00:23:41,586   Immediately, Mr. Panov says,   494 00:23:41,620 --> 00:23:42,988   "I don't know what              you're talking about.           495 00:23:43,021 --> 00:23:45,524   No one's come to me. I don't      even know what you mean."     496 00:23:46,191 --> 00:23:48,727  Did she make it to Mr.           Panov's dressing room?          497 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,128 He's saying no.                  498 00:23:50,162 --> 00:23:52,097    So you have to do               some investigation.            499 00:23:54,032 --> 00:23:56,001    - [Alan] Panov was            so high-profile,                 500 00:23:56,034 --> 00:23:58,236   it gave detectives a            chance to ask everyone          501 00:23:58,270 --> 00:24:01,840 if they had seen him during the   timeframe of Helen's murder.    502 00:24:01,873 --> 00:24:04,209 - [Det. Boyce] Detective Giorgio    found out                     503 00:24:04,242 --> 00:24:06,545  Mr. Panov went downstairs into    the audience                   504 00:24:06,578 --> 00:24:08,146 while this performance went on.  505 00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:10,615   Many, many witnesses            saw him there.                  506 00:24:10,649 --> 00:24:13,118    And this woman is murdered    during the performance.          507 00:24:13,819 --> 00:24:16,254    Therefore, he really took     him out of the picture.          508 00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:18,557   He's not the person              you're looking for.            509 00:24:21,059 --> 00:24:22,894 - [Alan] Then,                     Giorgio and his men            510 00:24:22,928 --> 00:24:24,763  turned their attention           to identifying                  511 00:24:24,796 --> 00:24:26,998 the unnamed man in the elevator. 512 00:24:30,669 --> 00:24:33,738   - [Laura] So the detectives     wanted me to                    513 00:24:33,772 --> 00:24:36,174  be able to really describe him  514 00:24:36,208 --> 00:24:39,110 so that they could have            their artists make a sketch.   515 00:24:41,646 --> 00:24:43,048  I knew there was a young man,   516 00:24:43,081 --> 00:24:46,785   just sort of average              height and weight.            517 00:24:46,818 --> 00:24:49,054   His hair was kind of brown.    518 00:24:49,087 --> 00:24:51,590   - We're looking for               somebody who matches that.    519 00:24:53,191 --> 00:24:55,894  But the face is like             a hundred other faces           520 00:24:55,927 --> 00:24:57,162   in the opera house.            521 00:24:58,296 --> 00:25:01,166    - [Alan] As investigators      begin to circulate the sketch,  522 00:25:01,199 --> 00:25:04,069 they receive the autopsy report. 523 00:25:04,102 --> 00:25:05,937   - [Det. Bruno[ The cause of       death was                     524 00:25:05,971 --> 00:25:08,173 blunt force trauma of the head.  525 00:25:09,207 --> 00:25:11,943 The blunt force trauma occurred  526 00:25:11,977 --> 00:25:16,047   when she fell down and hit       her head on the steel beam.    527 00:25:17,849 --> 00:25:19,818  She was alive for the 30 feet   528 00:25:19,851 --> 00:25:22,220   that she was falling           through the air.                 529 00:25:22,254 --> 00:25:24,789  It was a very                    tragic, tragic thing.           530 00:25:25,824 --> 00:25:29,528 - [Clay] Those last minutes must  have been terrifying.           531 00:25:30,362 --> 00:25:34,199  - The sexual assault kit that    was done prove inconclusive.    532 00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:37,035   - She was not raped.           533 00:25:37,769 --> 00:25:39,704    - [Det. Boyce] But is that      because Mrs. Mintiks           534 00:25:39,738 --> 00:25:40,839  put up a fight                  535 00:25:40,872 --> 00:25:43,241  that he was unable to            continue with sexual assault?   536 00:25:43,275 --> 00:25:45,710  Now, that happens quite often   537 00:25:45,744 --> 00:25:48,246   with murders driven              by sexual assault,             538 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,182    but she's nude, so             the attempt was there.          539 00:25:52,884 --> 00:25:54,953  - [Alan] But the most              important forensic finding    540 00:25:54,986 --> 00:25:58,823 was related to the rope            that was used to bind Helen.   541 00:25:59,424 --> 00:26:02,127  - [Det. Boyce] Detectives see     and they analyze the knots.    542 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,728 It's a clove hitch knot.         543 00:26:03,762 --> 00:26:04,996  It's a tradesman knot           544 00:26:05,030 --> 00:26:07,599   that only tradesman             use for the most part.          545 00:26:07,632 --> 00:26:11,136   Laura describes a man in the     elevator as the utility man.   546 00:26:11,169 --> 00:26:13,138   So now you narrowed it down.   547 00:26:13,171 --> 00:26:14,673    It's a stagehand.             548 00:26:15,206 --> 00:26:16,975  That's a game-changer            right there.                    549 00:26:17,008 --> 00:26:18,343    It's probably one of them.    550 00:26:19,878 --> 00:26:21,613   - [Alan] Stagehands know the      backstage                     551 00:26:21,646 --> 00:26:23,615  like the backs of their hands.  552 00:26:23,648 --> 00:26:25,850    Detectives feel this lead        puts them hot on the trail    553 00:26:25,884 --> 00:26:28,386   of the last person               to see Helen alive,            554 00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:31,122    and they pursue it            with full force.                 555 00:26:32,090 --> 00:26:35,627  - [Det. Boyce] You go back to   that individual in the elevator. 556 00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:36,761   Who is this person?            557 00:26:36,795 --> 00:26:39,264  [tense music]                   558 00:26:45,570 --> 00:26:48,640 - [Alan] Investigators narrow in on the mystery stagehand         559 00:26:48,673 --> 00:26:51,142  who rode the elevator            with Helen and Laura,           560 00:26:51,176 --> 00:26:54,279 who appears to be their            number one suspect.            561 00:26:54,312 --> 00:26:56,281  And they soon discover            that the stagehands            562 00:26:56,314 --> 00:26:59,751   are a complex group              of roughly 150 men             563 00:26:59,784 --> 00:27:01,753    who may be tough to crack.    564 00:27:05,824 --> 00:27:07,659  - [Clay] So these are             real professionals.            565 00:27:07,692 --> 00:27:09,427    They work very long hours,    566 00:27:09,461 --> 00:27:11,196 and they do hard physical labor  567 00:27:11,229 --> 00:27:13,765  moving huge pieces of scenery.  568 00:27:15,100 --> 00:27:17,669  - [David] The stagehands were    their own community.            569 00:27:17,702 --> 00:27:20,939   It's similar to many              other subcultures.            570 00:27:20,972 --> 00:27:26,044   It was a father, son, uncle,      nephew, tribal situation.     571 00:27:26,411 --> 00:27:28,346  So when they realized the cops  572 00:27:28,380 --> 00:27:31,182 were focusing in                    on the stagehands,            573 00:27:31,216 --> 00:27:33,652   the stagehands were             not happy about that.           574 00:27:35,353 --> 00:27:38,957  - [Laura] I had been admiring     how these stagehands work.     575 00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:42,460    If the murderer turned out       to be one of these people     576 00:27:42,494 --> 00:27:46,297 who worked here at this           really special place,

876 00:41:30,688 --> 00:41:36,126  and she had a life of           achievement ahead of her         877 00:41:36,327 --> 00:41:38,896    that was never fulfilled.     878 00:41:38,929 --> 00:41:41,599  [somber music]                  879 00:41:42,566 --> 00:41:45,202  - I would think she'd            want to be remembered           880 00:41:45,236 --> 00:41:48,739    as a very serious artist.     881 00:41:49,707 --> 00:41:53,911 She would want to be remembered   as a very loving wife           882 00:41:53,944 --> 00:41:55,880   and a very generous friend.    883 00:41:57,681 --> 00:42:01,819 - [Alan] In 2021, Craig Crimmins was released on parole,          884 00:42:01,852 --> 00:42:04,655    but the legacy of               his crime lives on.            885 00:42:04,688 --> 00:42:05,956  No one could have anticipated   886 00:42:05,990 --> 00:42:08,559  that the world's most             famous opera house             887 00:42:08,592 --> 00:42:10,828   would be the site of one of      the most disturbing murders    888 00:42:10,861 --> 00:42:12,796   in New York history.           889 00:42:12,830 --> 00:42:15,099   But the most shocking part,    890 00:42:15,132 --> 00:42:17,835   it was one of the Met's own.   891 00:42:17,868 --> 00:42:20,638  No matter the veneer             of glitz and glamour,           892 00:42:21,505 --> 00:42:24,208   evil may lurk just               behind the curtain.            893 00:42:24,241 --> 00:42:27,811 [suspenseful music ends]         102360
