The exact text of this portion was unavailable at the time of this writing. Actors are used to portray the actual persons in this dramatized version of "Kelly's story".

(Scene: Actresses sitting in a kitchen):

Actress for Connie: "We have figured out a way to put Zena on our medical insurance!"
Actress for Kelly: "That's great!"
Actress for Connie: "Isn't it?"
Actress for Kelly: "How?"
Actress for Connie: "It is so easy. All you have to do is sign this paper."
Narrator Robert Stack: "The paper was in fact a legal document allowing Connie Jean and Donald to adopt Zenith but Kelly says that Connie Jean explains it as a temporary arrangement just until Kelly can get back on her feet".

(Scene changes to Unsolved Mystery's personal interview with Kelly.)
Kelly: "The bigger picture would be that we would be this happy family together and live happily ever after."

(As the narrator speaks, the camera shows Kelly's signature on the legal document)
Narrator: "However, Kelly says that once the paper was signed her detente with Connie Jean began to sour."

(As Kelly speaks, the camera shows a picture of Connie holding Zenith at Zenith's infants blessing)
Kelly: "She became increasingly obsessed with Zena, wanting to be her mother and I started getting really scared and I had an urgency to leave there."

(Scene: Kelly and girls enter the gate at the airport)
Narrator: "Feb 1993, Kelly gathered up her daughters and returned to Arizona. That July, Kelly arranged to see her mother during a lay over at the Salt Lake City Airport. Kelly and the girls arrived. Connie Jean, Donald and Kelly's half brother were waiting at the gate."

Kelly: "She had held Zena the whole time we were walking to our connecting flight."

(Scene: UM's interview with Kelly)
Kelly: "And I had just gotten my boarding passes from the agent and I just happened to glance over and my mom and Zena were gone."

(Scene: Actress for Kelly glancing to empty chair and then running through the airport)
Actress for Kelly: "Stop that woman! She is stealing my baby! Somebody stop her! What's wrong with you? What are you doing? I am your daughter!"

(Scene: Actress for Connie, holding a baby, is stopped by an actor as actress for Kelly approaches)
Actor: "This woman is your mother?"

(The actress baby is crying.)
Actress for Connie: "Yes! And I have sole custody of this child because she is an unfit mother!"
Actress for Kelly: (crying) "I can't believe this is happening. Give me my baby. Please give me my baby?"
Kelly: "I just freaked out. She was waving the paper that I had originally signed."

(Scene: UM's interview with Kelly)
Kelly: "I could not understand why my mother had gone so far off the edge to obtain Zena."

(Scene: Actress for Kelly plead's with Actress for Connie, while the actress for Zenith continues to cry) Actress for Kelly: "Mother this isn't right! Please don't do this! It isn't right!"
Actress for Connie: "Zena belongs to me now."

(Scene: Actress for Kelly pleading with actor for Van Killsdunk).
Actress for Kelly: "You can't give her to my mother."

(Scene: UM's interview with Kelly)

(Scene: Actor Van Killsdunk holding actress Kelly's wrists)
Actor for Van Killsdunk: "I'm very sorry."

(Scene: Actress for Connie sitting in a living room, motions for a little girl actress for Zenith to come and sit beside her. While John Moody, acting as himself, seats himself on the sofa with them.)

(Scene: John Moody adjusts himself and his note pad as if he is having an interview in actress Connie's home while actress Zenith watches.)
Actress for Connie: "I wasn't sure if you knew the real truth about Kelly. I mean I'm sure you know she is a single mother on welfare who can't take care of one child let alone two."
John Moody: "Connie Jean was very easily irritated, she's not patient, she's very insensitive and intolerant to others."

(Scene: John Moody, guardian ad litem, in a personal interview with Unsolved Mystery staff while the words "Custody Expert" is labeled on the screen.

(Scene: Actress for Zenith jumps on the bed and then embraces the other child actress.)
Narrator: "Connie Jean however was granted 9 hours of unsupervised visits per week. Then immediately she picked up from Utah to be near Zenith."

(Scene: Steve Hutchinson in a law office. Label on the screen; "Kelly's Attorney")

Actress for Kelly: "Hi mom."
Actress for Connie: "Hi! What are you up to?"
