WBBM Channel 2 - The 10 O'Clock News - "Wally Phillips' Mystery" (1982)

Here's a segment from The 10 O'Clock News on WBBM Channel 2 featuring Bob Sirott reporting - regarding the revealing of Wally Phillip's eight year mystery name, kept in a locked black box (or safe, really) that he used as a way to test psychic's abilities. No one ever guessed it to win the cash prize. He finally revealed the name on his WGN radio show - it was actress Jean Rogers, who played Dale Arden on the old Flash Gordon serials.

Also features Bill Kurtis and an introduction to the story by Walter Jacobson.

    Listen closely at 3:57... Walter asks a question that sounds like he paid no attention to the story or the intro he read: "So hers was the name in the box and nobody did guess it?"
