Jennifer Servo story returns to TV

Six years after the brutal murder of a 22-year-old Montana reporter, her story continues to gain national attention as Dr. Phil puts her case back in the spotlight.


Jennifer Servo graduated from the University of Montana with a journalism degree.

She worked at KPAX-TV and other Missoula media outlets before moving to Abilene, Texas where someone murdered her in her apartment in 2002.

The producers of the CBS program "48 Hours" interviewed Servo's friends and family for the program last year.

This week, Dr. Phil flew Jennifer's mom and sister, Christa, to Hollywood.

They relate Jennifer's story with the murder of Little Rock Anchor Anne Pressly who someone killed on Oct. 20.

Both Jennifer and Anne's murders involved a missing purse and a key. They both died in their own homes: young, beautiful and on their way to the top.

While Pressly's accused killer is in jail, Servo's killer is still unknown.

You can watch the entire story about Jennifer Servo Saturday night at 8:00 p.m. on "48 Hours Mystery," here on Montana's News Station.

Dr. Phil will have Jennifer's story on his show Monday at 3:00 p.m. It includes a satellite interview with crime commentator Nancy Grace.
