where to cut the throat, what to wear, how to do it. he walked out. not even wanting a spot of blood on him, and he walked out with the same clothes he walked in with. >> detectives released the video throughout houston and announced a reward, but years passed with no leads and no killer in prison. but then a glimmer of hope. video forensic evidence analyst doug connor enhances the surveillance video footage, which offers a much clearer image of the suspect. >> the video is actually only 352 dots wide. that's only one tenth of a megapixel. after enhancement, this is as much detail that can be pulled out of the gentleman as he's leaving the building. >> the enhanced video offers only a slight improvement in quality, but it does reveal some new information from the original recording. >> it's very difficult to see for sure what's on his head. as we move over to the enhanced, we can more clearly see what appear

to be sunglasses on his head, a slight receding hairline, and what appear to be shorts. >> connor is also able to enhance the video to show how the suspect walks past three people sitting in the lobby in the enhanced video. >> we can see that the three people sitting here are paying attention to something in their laps that appear to be cell phones, and it might explain why they did not notice the gentleman leaving, but it's not enough to yield a suspect. >> the case is ongoing and it is being investigated, and we've actually received tips. you know, up until this day. >> now, ten years later, cops are still desperate for more information. >> we have put the video out through the crime stoppers of houston. and if anybody that's watching this does recognize this person, they can contact crime stoppers of houston. and there is a reward for any information that leads to the arrest of the suspect. >> shelby's sister remains determined to bring the killer to justice. >> if something happens to me, the next person, my family will
