On 60 Minutes, startling developments in a confounding 30-year mystery, the disappearance and likely murder of Revelle Balmain. Back in 1994, Revelle, then 22, was making a career as a model and dancer but she was also keeping a secret. To earn extra money she worked as an escort. When she vanished one night in November that year suspicion fell on her last client, the last person to see her alive. At the time there wasn't enough evidence to bring charges, so the case gathered dust until a fresh team of detectives was assigned to investigate. Now they reveal a major breakthrough. As Tara Brown reports, they've uncovered new clues and new persons of interest. And for those who knew and loved Revelle, that means there's finally genuine hope for long-awaited answers.

What Were They Thinking?
One-time sitcom actor and well-known devotee of Scientology, Danny Masterson, is now also a convicted rapist. Last week he was jailed for 30 years for drugging and sexually assaulting two women in 2003. Masterson's trial attracted enormous attention, not only because of his fame and violent crimes. The Church of Scientology was also condemned, accused of going to extraordinary lengths to protect its star recruit from prosecution. But what's been revealed since Masterson's sentencing is causing more controversy. The disgraced actor received substantial support from fellow Hollywood celebrities including Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. In letters to the judge asking for leniency for Masterson, the married couple described their friend more like a saint than a sinner. They said he was a role model and an exceptional character. Not surprisingly their comments have caused outrage.
