>> reporter: in the more than 20 years that investigators have struggled to find amy's killer two names keep coming up. >> i keep coming back to scott manley and dominic kanuika. >> reporter: one theory is that both men were involved. did amy have something they wanted, money or drugs? >> what if scott came across dominic at some point and talked dominic into doing this? they're both having this addiction to drugs. they're both needing money. >> reporter: remember, dominic kanuika places himself at the scene, and investigators have wondered if the plan was for kaunika to break into the house while scott manley drove the getaway car. >> did dominic get dropped off by scott manley, and then scott was going to circle around and pick him back up? >> reporter: when bunny and bob came home from church early, the plan may have fallen apart. could manley have abandoned kanuika, leaving him in the lurch? that would fit with the lehton's description of the masked intruder. >> he seemed nervous. he was just pacing the room. >> he acted like he was waiting for a ride, that the person had left him high and dry and he was waiting for that person to come back. >> reporter: each man denies knowing the other, but investigators uncovered a possible link: gatsby's restaurant, where dominic worked as a cook and where scott, according to his dad, had a job interview. they eventually tracked down a waitress there who identified manley's photo. >> she picked scott manley out as being someone she thought came in looking for dominic at one point. >> reporter: that's the closest connection you can make between... >> that's... >> reporter: ...these two men? >> as of right now, yes. >> reporter: and then, there's scott manley's own admission to police that the night of the murder he was looking for a drug dealer named nick. but kanuika's former girlfriend, julie, says that dominic went by the nickname "dom," not "nick." we reached out to scott manley and he agreed to an interview. but as we were heading to the prison where he was being held on that robbery charge, he suddenly backed out. still, we have letters manley wrote that say "please, please find whoever is responsible" for amy's death. but it's what he doesn't say that caught investigators attention. >> he never really denies involvement. >> reporter: we asked major tod goodyear to look at manley's letters with an analysis technique used by law enforcement. you can't file charges on scott manley based on anything in these letters. how does it help? >> well, it's an investigative tool. >> reporter: manley writes: “the fact that anyone thought it possible that i could be part of such a horrible crime nauseated me.” >> most people would say "i find it reprehensible, i find it unbelievable that anyone thinks..." >> reporter: "i... i'd commit this." >> "...that i could kill her." >> reporter: yes. >> "because i didn't." that would be a very strong statement that says "i didn't do it." >> reporter: and instead? >> this is not an "i didn't do it." this is a "i can't believe anybody thinks i could be a part of this." >> reporter: goodyear is also intrigued by this line, that manley and amy “planned to go out when she returned home from church." >> to me, it kind of signifies they were going to go out on some kind of a social or semi- date. and then, later on in the letter, he talks about he was supposed to go there for a meeting. >> reporter: “had i not cancelled our meeting, could i have helped or saved amy?” that word "meeting" means something to you because it could lead to motive. >> could. because a meeting is business. >> reporter: that's why goodyear wonders if that “meeting” involved drugs. >> i've always thought that he was involved. >> reporter: but suspicion isn't enough. d.n.a. found on the gun's magazine doesn't match scott manley, dominic kanuika or any other known suspect. >> it's still a track. if it's not one of our suspects but it's somebody that was linked to them, it's still a good thing. >> reporter: is dominic kanuika still a suspect? >> i would say, yeah, he's still a suspect because we can't clear him out. >> reporter: and scott manley is still a suspect? >> we can't connect him definitively to it, and then again we can't clear him. >> reporter: investigators concede amy's killer could be someone not even on their radar. but there's no statute of limitations for murder, so they hope scientific technology or some new tip will be key to solving this case. >> in cases like this, anything can be important. >> we know this case is solvable. i think that people are holding on to information. they don't think it's significant, but it is. it means everything to us. amy means everything to us. i'm not into vengeance, i'm into justice. i want justice to be served. captioning sponsored by cbs captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org >> the whole family is dead, and he's nowhere to be found. >> it was a complete mystery. i learned that while christian longo was in mexico, he was pretending to be a writer for the "new york times." in fact, he was pretend be to be me. >> thank you for seeing me, mr. longo. >> call me chris. >> why me?
