JUNIOR'S ATTORNEY.
♪
THE
HATERS ALWAYS SAY, TONYA,
TELL THE TRUTH.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TRUTH.
EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN TRUTH.
JEFF: ACTRESS MARGOT ROBBIE
CERTAINLY LOOKS A LOT LIKE TONYA
HARDING IN THE NEW MOVIE.
JENNIFER: SHE REALLY DOES.
I, TONYA, NOW IN SELECT
THEATERS.
IT'S ABOUT THE STORY OF HARDING,
HER HUSBAND, A BODY GUARD, A HIT
MAN, AND THE PLOT TO INJURE
NANCY KERRIGAN HEADING INTO THE
1994 U.S. FIGURE SKATING
CHAMPIONSHIPS.
TREVOR AULT SHOWS YOU THE LOCAL
WOMAN WHO FOUND THE SMOKING GUN.
IN THE MIDST OF BLOCKS OF NEW
HIGHRISES AND DEVELOPMENTS IN
NORTHWEST PORTLAND SITS A MARKER
OF PORTLAND'S PAST-THE DOCKSIDE
SALOON, WHICH HAS COME TO BE
DEFINED AT LEAST IN PART BY ONE
MOMENT MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO.
♪
YES, GOOD JOB.
JANUARY 30, 1994 WAS SUPER
BOWL SUNDAY, AND YET THE ONLY
THING PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT
WAS FIGURE SKATING.
THREE WEEKS PRIOR, NANCY
KERRIGAN HAD BEEN ATTACKED, AND
THE FOCUS WAS TURNING TO HER
CLOSEST COMPETITION, TONYA
HARDING.
OF COURSE I'M GOING TO
COOPERATE.
I MEAN I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO
HIDE AND I WANT THE PERSON TO BE
CAUGHT AS MUCH AS ANYBODY ELSE
DOES.
DID TONYA KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT
IT?
IT TURNED OUT THAT PERSON WAS
SHANE STANT, WHO CARRIED OUT A
PLAN ORCHESTRATED BY TONYA
HARDING'S FORMER HUSBAND JEFF
GILLOOLEY, BUT AS OF JANUARY,
HARDING HERSELF HAD YET TO BE
IMPLICATED.
TONYA IS SHOCKED AND ANGRY
THAT ANYONE CLOSE TO HER MIGHT
BE INVOLVED.
ALL THE WHILE AT THE DOCKSIDE
SALOON --
GENTLEMEN, HOW ARE WE DOING
TODAY?
KATHY PETERSON WENT TO WORK.
I WAS HERE DOING MAINTENANCE
AND I JUST TOOK SOME GARBAGE OUT
TO THE DUMPSTER.
WITHIN 24 HOURS, THAT
DUMPSTER WOULD BECOME THE TALK
OF THE ENTIRE WORLD, BECAUSE
KATHY NOTICED SOMEONE ELSE'S
TRASH.
OURS WERE LIKE BLACK AT THE
TIME AND THESE ONES I THINK WERE
CLEAR AS I RECALL.
SO KATHY DID SOME INVESTIGATING,
AND IT TURNED OUT AT LEAST PART
OF THE TRASH BELONGED TO TONYA
HARDING, A COMMUTER STUB TO
DETROIT, A TICKET FROM THE
SKATER'S ASSOCIATION, AND AN
ENVELOPE WITH NOTES ON NANCY
KERRIGAN'S HOME ARENA.
NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO WITH IT,
KATHY LEFT A MESSAGE WITH THE
FBI.
HOW DID YOU FIND THE FBI'S
NUMBER IN 1994.
OH MY GOSH COME IN THE
PHONEBOOK.
THAT NIGHT SHE TOLD HER
FRIENDS ABOUT THE TRASH,
THINKING IT WAS JUST A GOOD
STORY, BUT THE FRIENDS TOLD A
LOCAL REPORTER.
I WAS SO NAIVE.
I THOUGHT, SURE COME DO AN
INTERVIEW, IT'S GARBAGE, REALLY
WHO CARES.
WE'RE KINDA GOING YEAH RIGHT,
IT IS NO BIG DEAL HERE AT IT WAS
A BIG DEAL.
FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS,
THE DOCKSIDE SALOON TURNED INTO
THE LIGHTNING ROD FOR NEWS
COVERAGE AROUND THE WORLD.
ALL SIX TABLES WE HAD SIX TV
STATIONS LINED UP.
THEY WERE ALL IN THE WAY AND
WE WERE LIKE EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE
ME.
EVERY LETTER OF THE ALPHABET.
FOX, FOX, ABC, CBS, EVERYBODY.
THE TRASH WOULD END UP AS THE
SMOKING GUN, PROVING TONYA
HARDING WAS INVOLVED, AND
FOREVER TYING KATHY TO THE
ENTIRE SCANDAL.
WITH ALL THE PEOPLE AND THE
DEMANDS ON YOUR TIME, AND TO GO
OU AND PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT
YOU AND YOU'RE IN THE PAPER
EVERY DAY.
EVEN NOW, DECADES LATER, SHE'S
STILL ASKED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
TONYA HARDING THE SKATER THAT
WOULD NEVER LEAVE MY LIFE.
THE STORY NOW IMMORTALIZED ON
THE BACK OF THE MENU.
THEY'LL SAY 'DID TONYA FIND
HER STUFF HERE?'
YOU GO READ THE MENU.
AND THE MOST COMMON QUESTION,
IS ONE THAT WE ASKED TOO, WHY
WAS KATHY GOING THROUGH THE
GARBAGE?
IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO PUT
YOUR GARBAGE IN PEOPLE'S
DUMPSTERS.
THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE.
SHE'D CALL THE PEOPLE UP AND
INVITE THEM FOR BREAKFAST AND
GIVE THE PEOPLE THEIR TRASH.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I
JUST DO, GO THROUGH GARBAGE,
UNLESS I HAVE A REASON.
WHOEVER WAS IN CHARGE OF THE
GARBAGE THAT DAY PICKED THE
WRONG PLACE TO DUMP IT.
THAT IS ALL CAN SAY.
SO THE FILM I, TONYA DID
RELEASE IN SOME CITIES TODAY.
IT SHOULD ROLL OUT NATIONWIDE IN
THE COMING WEEKS.
JEFF: I REMEMBER COVERING THE
STORY.
THAT PIECE OF THE STORY A LOT OF
PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT.
IF SHE
HADN'T CHECKED THAT TRASH
COME THEY NEVER WOULD HAVE
LINKED
THEM TO HURTING NANCY
KERRIGAN.
IT IS AMAZING.
IT WAS WEIRD TO WATCH OLD
INTERVIEWS BEFORE WITH HER
THAT
SHE WAS SO CONVINCING THAT SHE
WASN'T INVOLVED.
I AM THE LAST PERSON WHO WOULD
WANT THIS TO HAPPEN, THEN KATHY
DUG THROUGH THE TRASH.
JEFF: THE MOVIE IS GETTING RAVE
REVIEWS FOR THE ACTING.
IT OPENS IN SELECT THEATERS, NOT
YET IN PORTLAND.
JANUARY IS THE WIDE RELEASE.
BECAUSE SHE HAS AROUND HERE, A
LOT OF THE FOCUS IS ON THE
RELATIONSHIP WITH HER MOM.
