The Orlando Sentinel, Tuesday, September 26, 1989 5 'IJinsohfed Mysteries' to feature Volusia case By Brett Pulley OF THE SENTINEL STAFF Sands Resort mobile home nudist camp, where more than 66 families live don't expect any reimbursement for three camp residents who invested a total of nearly $50,000 in Hilliard's videotape business. They just hope for a little understanding. "First, we're hoping that the program catches the guy," Tootie Noonan said. "Secondly, we're hoping that it shows nudity in a kind, favorable light." Local law authorities say they certainly don't mind a little extra help in finding Hilliard, who also has outstanding arrest warrants in Texas. "We need to get his photo out," said Gordon Meyer, a Volusia County sheriffs investigator.

"What's the best way to do that besides national TV?" In the two seasons the show has aired, viewer response has helped solve about 30 percent of the cases, he said. "The more often we solve something, the more people are interested in watching a show that's doing some good." The show will air at 8 p.m. on WESH-TV Channel 2. "I really like young people and I feel like they need all the help they can get in this troubled world, said Nickman, who is now eligible for national recognition.

The 12-minute segment of NBC's Unsolved Mysteries is based on a former Pierson resident who is charged with sexually abusing an 11-year-old girl and bilking at least six people out of money through shady business deals. Everyone at the Sunny Sands Resort nudist camp thought the neighbor who identified himself as Gar-Ion Houston Russell was a genuinely nice guy and a legitimate businessman. Even after the Crescent City video store owner was arrested in September 1988 and charged with sexual battery and lewd and lascivious assault on the young camp resident, his friends and neighbors still believed Rusty, as they called him, could do no wrong.

Some camp residents were prepared to pay his bail. But a few days after his arrest, when Rusty was released on $25,000 bail put up by one of his business COUNSELOR From 1 the school staff, colleagues and students is a virtue."
