You've never seen a police chase like this.
A mother driving like a mad woman with her screaming child inside.
And she won't stop for anything.
She tried to run over the state trooper that was standing there.
Mom on the run.
You are looking into the eyes of evil.
You know, I don't have anything to hide, Craig.
Listen, as the cold-blooded killer of a pregnant woman and her three-year-old son tries to
explain himself.
Hate is a strong word, Craig.
And the woman who wonders if she was the real target of his madness.
He got kind of angry and like tried to, you know, coerce me into the car.
Plus, Friends is 100 episodes old today.
Remember what they were like on their very first show?
And a blind dog's seeing eye dog.
Hi everybody and welcome to Inside Edition.
I'm Deborah Norville.
And today we're broadcasting from our bureau in Los Angeles.
It looked like a movie scene in Iowa when an alleged hit and run accident turned into
a high-speed chase.
And you might be surprised at who was in the car.
Steve Gandel tells us it was a mother and her daughter.
It was a high-speed drama along an Iowa interstate with a fleet of police cars pursuing 38-year-old
Jane Milan as she raced for freedom.
Iowa State Trooper Scott Bright.
She nearly went in the ditch a few times coming down the roadway.
A very dangerous situation.
And as a caravan of cops raced down the highway, a child's life was on the line.
Also riding in the speeding car was Milan's 15-year-old daughter, a virtual hostage in
the passenger seat.
We had no idea that there was a child involved in the car.
What we saw when we were behind the vehicle was two females.
The wild chase began when Milan reportedly sideswiped a parked car.
Police were able to pull Milan over once and she quickly sped off.
I guess when you see a car start swerving towards one of your fellow officers, that
pursuit needs to be stopped.
After more than an hour, police tried stopping the driver with a device called stop sticks
designed to give the fleeing vehicle a flat tire.
But even with a flat, Milan couldn't be stopped.
Then police took a more aggressive approach.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
Another trooper that was in front of me in the pursuit basically ran the side of the
vehicle, pushed the vehicle down in the median, and the vehicle went down in the median and
got stuck in the mud.
Milan's terrified daughter was handcuffed as well as her defiant mom who seemed far from
concerned about her daughter's tears.
The mom was charged with a number of traffic violations.
Her 15-year-old daughter was not charged.
If Oprah, Roseanne, and Rosie are the queens of daytime talk, there's some new royalty
trying to muscle onto the throne.
A duchess named Fergie, Stacey Sweet on her talk show debut.
The Duchess of York is now the Duchess of Talk.
Check out Fergie on her new British chat show.
We'll be covering subjects such as jealousy.
Fergie says on her show called Sarah, Surviving Life, she wants to get up close and personal
with everyday folk, not superstars, royal watcher Richard Meynard.
All these problems that Fergie has undergone, her massive weight gains, her massive weight
losses, the very public split of her marriage, I think people can relate to that.
This is Fergie's first public appearance since her mother's fatal car accident last month,
just one year after the death of Princess Diana.
Fergie says her pain helps her tackle subjects like life after death.
But while some have praised the first royal TV host, others say Oprah has nothing to worry
about.
The New York Times Review calls Fergie the most embarrassing hour in chat show history.
Marvin Kitman is a syndicated TV critic.
She has a problem with being sort of a lowbrow, so she brings her show up by having very intelligent
people and that can be eternal.
But if Fergie's show goes south, her love life should keep her busy.
The latest scoop is that the Duchess, who strangely still lives in her ex-husband Andrew's
house, is in love with a married Italian count.
But there's no big scandal like Fergie's toe sucking affair.
The count is married at the moment, but going through a divorce, which is not going to be
a problem.
After Diana's death, Fergie says she planned on carrying on the Princess's humanitarian
work and maybe her latest project, talking with everyday people about everyday problems,
is exactly that.
Fergie is very candid and it could translate into very good ratings.
Fergie says she made $86,000 for the 10 shows which she gave to charity.
Hard to believe that the Friends from Friends have been around for five seasons and they're
now celebrating their 100th episode tonight.
We took a look back at episode number one and well, let's say there have been a few
changes.
Here's April Wilson.
Paul, this is everybody.
Remember when the only star of Friends that maybe you'd heard of was Courtney Cox from
her stint on Family Ties?
And I think she feels the same way as I do about this.
Remember when everybody wanted their hair to look like Jennifer Aniston?
Well, a lot has changed.
We met Rachel.
She was a princess fleeing her marriage to Barry the dentist and now she's gotten more
and more bohemian.
After a few haircuts, she's still looking great.
Ross has been through one bad marriage and has just entered into what looks like another
shaky one.
Phoebe is still the ultimate space case and tonight, as surrogate mother, she gives birth
to Triplet while wise guy Chandler is having a secret relationship with Monica.
Joey, when he started out, he was just pretty much your typical TV dopey guy and the grand
tradition of TV dopey guys.
Now we can understand why the other friends would want to hang out with him.
Still, after five years, we love to be friends with friends.
Another thing that's changed on Friends, their first contract paid the six lead players $22,500
an episode.
They're now said to be in the neighborhood of $100,000 a piece for each show.
Still to come on Inside Edition.
Look into his eyes.
He's trying to make you believe.
Listen to me, Craig.
Sitting down with a cold blooded killer.
It wasn't a gun.
Am I explaining it to you okay, Craig?
The words of a madman and the woman who will not rest until she finds the truth.
Right out of a horror movie, a gorgeous model attacked by her pet monkey.
He charged at me and he grabbed me by the leg, started biting me.
With scars on her legs, can she ever model swimsuits again?
Plus, a blind dog's best friend, a sight to break your heart.
Inside Edition with Deborah Norville will be right back.
For the last 10 years, one St. Louis journalist has stayed in touch with a man who was once
her stalker.
Sounds strange?
Well, as Craig Rivera tells us, she wants the answer to one question, an answer that
she believes will free a man wrongly imprisoned for murder.
Bill, Craig Rivera, Inside Edition.
You are looking into the eyes of a killer.
Inmate number B06156.
Today Dale Anderson sits in solitary, convicted of the heinous murders of a pregnant woman
and her three-year-old son.
And some believe he's responsible for murdering another woman in a twisted tale of revenge,
lust and obsession.
I won't rest until Dale Anderson tells me the truth.
Caught in the middle of this bizarre 10-year ordeal is this woman, a hard-nosed newspaper
reporter named Carolyn Tuft.
I'd rather not be part of this story.
I can't help that.
As journalists, we're people too, and I can't help it that I was a target.
In her quest to report the news, she found herself the center of the story.
And Tuft is now intent on proving how Anderson intended to use her in a plot to seek revenge
against his employers.
A plot that may have cost another reporter her life.
Why don't you just come clean?
You know, I don't have anything to hide, Craig.
It began back in June of 1988.
Carolyn Tuft was a fresh-faced reporter in Belleville, Illinois, a small suburb just across
the Missouri state line.
One day she got an anonymous tip, which she now believes came from Dale Anderson.
He alleged corruption in the Illinois Public Aid Office and claimed he feared for his life.
After Tuft wrote her article, she paid a visit to the home of her source.
But the meeting turned into a threatening situation as soon as she walked through Dale
Anderson's door.
The first thing he did was lock his door.
He brought out a revolver and told me that he was a police officer working undercover
at the Public Aid Office.
In fact, Anderson was a caseworker who had been disciplined for threatening behavior.
As he angrily spoke about his supervisors, he fidgeted with a loaded gun.
Why did you have a gun when Carolyn met with you?
There never was any gun and there wasn't a crime.
There wasn't a gun?
Am I explaining it to you?
Okay, Craig.
Tuft says Anderson told her to be careful that his supervisors didn't like her story
and had intended to kill her.
Feeling threatened, Carolyn slipped away.
But that meeting was just the beginning of Anderson's obsession with Carolyn Tuft.
He kept calling the newsroom over and over and over again, asking me when I was going
to print the story.
He was caught inside the newsroom at night wandering around a locked, it was a locked
office.
Did you intend to kill Carolyn Tuft that day?
No, no.
Listen, Craig, I've had gun safety my entire life.
I don't play around with guns.
Guns are not toys.
Didn't you go to her office at one time and try to lure her into your vehicle?
No, that's not true, Craig.
Why would she say that?
I don't know, Craig, you're going to have to ask Carolyn Tuft.
He got kind of angry and like tried to coerce me into the car and threw the car door open
and hit me on the arm and said get in and I didn't get in and I don't know what kept
me from not getting in the car.
Tuft now believes that Anderson had intended to kill her that day as part of an evil vendetta
to frame his former employers.
Tuft says when his plot failed Anderson found someone else, someone unaware.
Her name was Audrey Cardenas.
Shortly after she started her job as an intern with the Bellville News Democrat, Audrey
Cardenas disappeared.
Her brutally murdered body was discovered in this creek bed.
I have no other conclusion to draw than I was a target of Dale Anderson and when he
couldn't get to myself, he went to the weakest link.
Days after the Cardenas murder, police arrested a man, not Dale Anderson but a mentally ill
drifter by the name of Rodney Wykie who told police he committed the murder.
Tuft and others believe he is an innocent man.
I do not believe that the right man has been arrested and convicted for the murder of Audrey
Cardenas.
Dee Heil is a former Illinois criminal investigator who worked on the Audrey Cardenas murder.
Heil knew Anderson well and he believes that Anderson felt a twisted sense of betrayal
that he wasn't given any recognition for Audrey's death.
In the time from Rodney's conviction to the time of Rodney's sentencing, he feverishly
went about trying to draw attention away from Rodney, kind of like ringing the bell that
don't let this guy take the credit for what I did.
Did you kill Audrey Cardenas?
No I didn't.
On the eve of Rodney Wykie's sentencing for the murder of Audrey Cardenas, Anderson's
frustrations finally boiled over.
Anderson searched for another defenseless victim he could use to try and frame his former
employers.
Posing as a salesman, Anderson forced his way into the home of Jolene Landman and her
three year old son, both of whom he eventually murdered.
He had picked the house at random.
Before killing the woman, he pressured her into writing this note.
On the note, his former bosses were accused by name for this attack and the murder of
Audrey Cardenas.
The police were able to see through Dale Anderson's transparent scheme.
The note was a key piece of evidence in convicting Anderson of the Landman murder.
It also led many to believe Anderson was also responsible for the murder of Audrey Cardenas.
Isn't it a little bit too coincidental that this woman, Jolene Landman, and her three
year old child gets murdered on the eve of Rodney's sentencing?
That note that they find is implicating the people you hate so much.
Well, hate is a strong word, Craig.
Dee Heil says Anderson confirmed the theory during a 1992 jailhouse meeting.
I asked him, I said, Dale, we both know Rodney didn't kill Audrey Cardenas.
And he said, you're right.
I said, Dale, we both know who did.
He said, you're right.
I said, Dale, tell me how Audrey Cardenas was killed.
He stood up and demonstrated a chokehold, something like this.
That's not true.
I read about that in one of the stories in the newspaper.
Why would he lie?
Well, I'm not going to say anything disrespectful about Dee, but he didn't tell the truth.
Isn't it a fact that you murdered Audrey Cardenas?
You murdered Audrey Cardenas.
No, I did not murder Audrey.
Well, I told you the truth, Craig.
I did not murder those people.
I've never murdered anyone in my entire life, Craig.
But Carolyn Tuff doesn't believe Dale Anderson's denial, and neither did the jury.
Anderson was convicted of the murders of Jolene and Kenneth Landman and sent to prison for
life.
Despite the fact that Carolyn Tuff claims to have been the primary target of Dale Anderson,
she continues to visit him here at the Maximum Security Correctional Center in Menard, Illinois.
Her hope?
Getting what she's wanted for 10 years.
A confession from the inmate.
That's what serial killers do.
They like to play games.
They like to be smarter than everyone else.
Hopefully someday the truth will come out.
One footnote, Rodney Weidke's attorneys have filed for a new trial for their client.
They're awaiting the judge's decision.
Still ahead on Inside Edition, a swimsuit model is savagely attacked by her pet monkey,
supporting her career in jeopardy.
Today her courageous first step's back on the runway.

Three things I always do before our big family picnic.
Bring my spicy bean dip.
Make sure there's enough fried chicken for everyone.
And I always take a Pepsi de C. Stay tuned.
There's much more Inside Edition to come.
Anyone with a pet knows that there's a chance the animal could bite.
But it's not something you usually worry about.
What if your pet is a monkey?
Steve Gandel on a model whose life was threatened by her primate pet.
It was like a horror movie.
It was horrible.
Melissa Germain is still visibly shaken as she recounts the day last month that she was
viciously attacked by her pet monkey, Rico.
He was clamped down on my legs.
There was blood everywhere.
Melissa was rushed to the hospital.
The swimsuit model's once beautiful legs had been severely mangled in the savage attack.
I was thinking, I can't believe this is happening to me.
It was just so quick.
I'm thinking my whole career is gone.
It all started when Melissa brought Rico, a vervet monkey, back to her home in Slidell,
Louisiana, and found out that Rico wasn't monkeying around.
He charged at me and he grabbed me by the legs, started biting me.
Finally, he let go and he ran out into the den.
At this point, I couldn't even walk.
I crawled back into the bedroom.
My roommate came out of the closet and she saw me on the floor, blood everywhere.
We shut the door, locked it, and I called 911.
That's when St. Tammany Sheriff Wildlife Officer Howard McCray swung into action.
As soon as I entered the room, the monkey threw a picture frame at me and it stuck in
the wall.
I've never seen something that was only 19 pounds could do so much.
He was very vicious.
Ultimately, Rico had to be humanely destroyed.
This isn't what the part-time nurse and swimsuit model thought would happen when she began
collecting monkeys two years ago.
Herman Ashery already numbered 10 when she saw this ad for a friendly pet in the newspaper.
I wanted a monkey that I could put clothes on and put it in a car seat and take it places
with me, just like a baby.
Last week, for the first time since the attack, Melissa summoned the courage to go back to
work, walking the runway in the Hawaiian Tropic Beauty Pageant.
But the young model still believes she needs plastic surgery.
For the first three weeks, I cried.
I didn't want to leave the house.
I felt like the bride of Frankenstein.
I want to have my surgery as soon as I can and I want things to go back to normal.
Fortunately for Melissa, the monkey didn't carry any diseases, but experts say it is
a very bad idea to have wild animals as pets.
Coming up, little Bill is a seeing eye dog, but wait till you see who Bill sees for.

And finally today, when humans suffer blindness, they can put their faith in the guidance of
a seeing eye dog.
But what's a dog to do when faced with a similar situation?
Here's Stacy Galandi.
You look at a creature like Ben and wonder how anyone could have been cruel enough to
blind an innocent dog for life.
But Big Ben is lucky in other ways.
See that pooch trotting alongside him?
That's little Bill, the first seeing eye dog in history ever to lead the way for another
dog.
Bill and Ben had been abandoned together.
And when they were rescued and brought to the pound, it was clear they were meant to
stay together wherever they went with Bill leading the way.
Come on Ben.
Come on, darling.
Here's the happy ending to this tale of canine compassion.
A beautiful home for these devoted dogs along with another pooch named Rosie, which happens
to be how the future is looking for all concerned.
When the dog story hit the papers, there were over 5,000 calls to the pound offering them
a new home.
And that's Inside Edition for today.
I'm Deborah Norville.
