In 1981, Kelly took a job to babysit for Bill Christensen. The 15-year-old was never seen alive again. What most people don’t know is that Kelly was not the killer’s first choice. She was the “backup babysitter.”

Christensen's first choice was a 17-year-old girl, but she already had plans so she turned him down.

Christensen then asked about other babysitters in the area. The original target, who we’ll refer to as Stacey, had never spoken to a journalist about what happened until she joined Global News senior crime reporter Nancy Hixt to share how the case impacted every aspect of her life in this rereleased episode.

Police are still waiting for the tip they need to solve it.
