fiD WwhwvUy. April 27 194 THE TENNESSEAN urfreesboro Lunden takes us inside Ford Center crime profiled Case on 'Unsolved Mysteries' Tuning in Behind Closed Doors with Joan Lunden, 7 p.m. WKRN-Channel 2. I Tuning in Unsolved Mysteries, 7 p.m. WSMV-Channel 4.

By SANDY SMITH Staff Writer Pay close attention to Unsolved Mysteries tonight; you may be able to help catch a killer. The series, which profiles unsolved crime cases, features a Mur-freesboro crime that may be familiar Jeremy Rolfs and his fiancee -VI -i4rSU '-S. Heather Uffelman, both students at Middle Tennessee State University, traveled to Marietta, to sell a $34,000 piece of computer equipment for Rolfs' npinlnvr The By MIKE HUGHES Gannett News Service It has become a piece of modern mythology. Yes, we all know the Betty Ford Center is important People big, rich, celebrity types say it has changed their lives, helping them to overcome addiction. But what is it like Inside? Until now, cameras have been kept out "It's like a college campus," said Joan Lunden, who hosts a visit there tonight "It's like dormitories, with 20 people together.

That's for her first Behind Closed Doors With Joan Lunden, at 7 p.m. CDT on ABC (WKRN-Channel 2). In addition, Lunden visits Shaquille O'Neal and Mel Gibson and goes through fighter-pilot training. Those last parts bear little surprise. Viewers had probably suspected O'Neal is large, Gibson is charming and training is scary.

(The scariest part was when Lunden was weighted down in heavy equipment then thrust into the water. "They said: 'If you get disoriented, blow The direction they go is The Ford Center offered more, forming a mystery of pop culture. "Nobody has a private room," Lunden says. "There are no locks on the doors." In short, you're never alone. "I think that's part of the therapy," Lunden says.

This is a world that strips away all the usual distractions. "There are no phones, no TVs, no radios, not even any clocks," Instead, there are other people, pondering every emotion. "They'd say, 'Don't think, There is routine, Lunden says, for people who had been stripped of it "They have regular meals again. For many of them, a cigarette and a drink might have been their idea of lunch." But does it work? Not always, but Lunden did hear a major endorsement from actor Gregory Harrison. "His interview was so unbelievable," she said.

"He said in 1986-'87, when he was at the top, he was just hopelessly addicted. "He said, 'My wife would open the door in the morning to see if I'd This is fresh turf for Lunden, who found herself in huge shadows. On an ordinary day, Lunden is the picture of modern style. She is a native Californian, tall (5-foot-7), fit and active. She seemed to shrink away, however, next to the awesome O'Neal.

"He's so big, it almost defied description." i i iirlfru who will see the segment see how he can turn from a soft-spoken, highly thoughtful person to a murderer in a heartbeat and say 'I know that and that can be the break that we need." Rolfs has devoted much of the past 18 months to recovering and trying to find Uffelman's killer. "Most people have understood why both myself and members of Heather's family have been so committed to trying to find this guy," he said. "There have been a few people who have suggested that I just forget about the investigation and move on with my life, but I can't live with myself knowing that my failure to really work hard could mean that this man could destroy another family. If I can in any way prevent this man from hurting anyone else, I have to do that for me and for Heather." One theory is that the killer, who answered an ad Rolfs placed in a local Traders' Post classified advertising tabloid, has Nashville ties. Rolfs isn't certain: "He has no Heather Uffelman was murdered when she and fiancee Jeremy Rolfs went to Georgia to sell computer equipment.

Their story is featured on Unsolved Mysteries at 7 p.m., WSMV-Channel 4. prospective buy- Police drawing er, whom Rolfs of suspect originally met in Nashville, tied them up and beat them, killing Uffelman, and stole the equipment Unsolved Mysteries airs at 7 p.m. today on WSMV-Channel 4. "We have very little to go on to try to find this man," Rolfs said. "We have a physical description.

We have an idea of the kind of car he was driving at the time, but neither of these things are effective. The best clue we have is his personality. "Unsolved Mysteries is the best vehicle for showing that I'm convinced that there will be people "One of the things that to me has been important is a way to make something good come out of something horrible. It's hard to think anything good about such a tragedy, but the truth is, if some young woman can go to MTSU who otherwise couldn't enroll because we remembered Heather some part of Heather's generosity and love of learning survives. I don't know what to call that except good." accent at all.

I have a pretty good ear for accents and what part of the country they're from" Rolfs' former employer, the Hal-sey and the Uffelman family have donated $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the assailant As for Rolfs, he is completing his master's degree and has set up a scholarship fund at MTSU in Heather's name. Rocketown club caters to teen-agers TOM ROLAND Staff Writer Beginning Friday, Michael W. Smith has a new Place In This World he opens Rocketown, an alcohol-free Franklin club designed exclusively for teen-agers, near the Cool Springs Mall. Getting there Rocketown, 308 Southgate in Franklin, is open weekends. Identification is required to enter the club; cover charge is $7.

For more information, can 377-0020. o-oo ACTION (V "We're troubleshooting here," said Smith, admitting that the club will continue to evolve after it opens. Rocketown, named for a song on his greatest hits album, The First Decade 1983-1993, provides a new twist to the time-honored tradition of flashing identification at the door to a club. music will get played at this club, unless we figure out how to do something hiphop," Smith laughed, noting that the music will represent a mix of Christian and mainstream artists. "I'm sure we'll play DC Talk and T-Bone, who's a Christian rapper.

But any music that's degrading, if it's not positive, I don't think we'll play it I think it's got to be uplifting." Smith has turned over the day-to-day operation of the club to Trent Dean, who toured with Smith as a percussionist and dancer the past two years. Smith ranks among the most successful contemporary Christian artists, having broken into the mainstream with I Will Be Here For You and Pface In This World. But he's downplaying any perceived connections between the club and his faith. "It's gonna be the hippest club in town," he predicted. "This is not a religious nightclub.

Church, and the whole religion thing, is boring to kids. Our music is positive, but not all of it's religious. This thing is legit Any time you get Michael W. Smith, people will go, 'Oh, gosh, this is a Christian nightclub at Cool Springs Mali' There might be some spiritual significance for what the club can do. But basically, we just want to have a positive aspect on kids lives." Don't miss a minute.

It's the most fun you'll ever have watching TV. The Auction has it all that night for 15- to 18-year-olds. Junior high students, aged 12- to 15-years-old, can attend on Saturdays, from 6-9 p.m. Rocketown will be geared to college-aged people, 18 and older, from 9:30 to midnight on Saturdays. "The high school kids don't want to be with the junior high kids," said Smith, explaining the hours.

"Most of the junior high kids would love to be with the high school kids. But we're trying to organize this thing where people can be comfortable." Rocketown's 13,000 square feet will feature computerized lighting, a giant video screen, a black light room, murals, a pool, graffiti art and, according to a flyer, "stylized surrealism." The dance floor will be powered by pop, hiphop and techno music. "I would venture to say that very little of my Instead of denying entrance SMITH to patrons because they're too young, Smith noted that "adults will be turned away." "We're trying to come with a fresh approach and have a place for kids to go," he said. "I got the idea driving on Main Street in Franklin. Teens cruise around there in their cars.

It's bumper to bumper and the kids don't have any place to go." Until Friday, that is.
