Ashley Underwood, the weather girl for the local news, leaves a message for Richard's assistance. Richard is away because of business so the Junior Detective League goes to discover Ashley has been getting threatening letters. They encounter Katie Banwell, Ashley's coworker, who is cruel to the children. Conan gives Ashley his pager number just before she receives an urgent phone call and asks the Junior Detective League to wait for her. When she does not come back, Conan stumbles onto a few disturbing facts that Ashley has been kidnapped. He begins to receive numbers as messages from her on his pager including the emergency telephone number. With a hint from Rachel and George, Conan is able to decode the messages and pinpoint where Ashley is. The kids rescue Ashley and bump heads with the kidnapper who they subdue and unmask to reveal Katie Banwell. An artistically designed nail is what gave her away. Katie confesses stating the news team replaced her with Ashley, and Conan gives her a reality check saying she should have worked harder and fight to maintain her position. She is arrested shortly afterwards. (Source: Wikipedia)
