Just watched this on UM. Bizarre case.
Going to bump a cold case, on the off chance this is the real daughter responding, and no sleuther replied? Sad to me.A couple of years back we had posted the unsolved mysteries clip to YouTube and there were a lot of comments...Someone had posted that they knew who did it and it had to do with my Father purchasing drugs from someone and then paying him with a wad of fake money as a joke and that it really irritated the person because it made him look bad and so he had my Father killed...The story actually sounded like something that my Father would do...We had contacted the Sunnyvale police department and they had said it was a dead lead. I am not extremely confident that they exhausted all possibilities but at the same time I am a strong supporter of law enforcement and all of their efforts early on in the case...They have limited resources and I get it...Anyway, thanks again! As a matter of reference, here are episode details... http://www.tv.com/shows/unsolved-mysteries/episode-180-174750/ First aired 2/16/1994, episode 180

Whether you are truly Dicks daughter or not, i do not, in anyway believe this really happened.
I would place a big, fat bet it was the girlfriend.
She was in his car. Gets into her car. Says she will follow him. Then flags him down. He gets off next exit, walks to HER car, where she shoots him, point blank.
Either for the drugs in his pocket. Or the money in his pocket, so she could buy drugs.
If Dick had actually purchased drugs from him, he would have recognized him as he approached, assuming for some weird reason he did not know his dealers car.
Nope. It was the girl. I would bet my...something good on it.
Sure would like a definite on the motive though.
...He then stepped back and shouted at him. It was then that he fired his gun at him. Jean frantically rushed back to see if she could help, then froze in fear just staring at the man who stared back at her for a few seconds before taking off into the night. Unfortunately, Dick was dead by the time paramedics arrived. Jean speculates that his stature resembling that of a football player and her license plate number "49R HUGS," in reference to the San Francisco 49ers, might have gotten Dick killed by a fanatical fan of a rival team. The man has never been identified and the case remains unsolved.
Suspects: The suspect is a white man with a dark complexion. He wore eyeglasses with large black frames. His car looked like a 1970 Pontiac GTO LeMans. It was a two door coupe, with a dull, faded, light grey or blue paint job.
I cannot find any info about wether it has been solved or not.
A man and a woman are driving home at night and they are in separate cars following each other and they stop off somewhere for some reason and a strange man pulls up behind them and just sits there staring at them. They pull off and get on the highway and the man follows them and tails them the whole way so then they pull off and the man (Dick Hanson) gets out to confront the man and the strange man points at the back of the woman's car and says something and Dick Hanson says "Get the hell outta here!' and the stranger pulls out a gun and shoots and kills him. After the shots are fired the woman jumps out of her car and looks back at the man and he just sat and stared at her and then drove off.
Does anyone remember this case? I want to say it was in Seattle, maybe...and the victim was a former pro football player and newly divorced.
I don't believe there was a man. I do not buy the girlfriend's story. This alleged man was chasing them and she did not think to take down his license plate number after just witnessing a murder. It does not add up.Couldn’t the police just type in the plate number and figure out who owned the car?
