Dan Rather: 斯波坎发生了一系列令人费解的谋杀案,受害者大多是性工作者。警方的失误可能导致更多人死亡。
Mark Furman: 我认为警方在调查过程中犯了严重的错误,延误了破案时间,导致更多女性遇害。警方没有充分重视线索,例如目击者提供的白色克尔维特汽车信息,以及犯罪现场附近的其他线索。如果警方及时采取行动,可能有更多女性幸免于难。
Mike Fitzsimmons: 我们调查的是警方对连环杀手案的调查过程,而非案件本身。我们发现警方在调查中存在许多问题,例如证据保密、线索处理不当等。斯波坎社区对连环杀害性工作者的事件漠不关心。
Michelle: 作为一名性工作者,我亲身经历了斯波坎“轨道”地区的危险,并目睹了女性失踪的事件。
Debbie Fine: 即使受害者从事性工作,她们也值得被爱和关注。我的妹妹肖恩·约翰逊被谋杀,这让我们非常悲痛。
Rena: 即使知道有连环杀手在作案,我仍然继续从事性工作,因为我别无选择。
Detective Fred Roich: 受害者都是值得被尊重的人,她们也有人爱。
George Lindholm: 所有受害者都有一个共同点:头部中了两枪。
Ben Estes: 斯波坎警方在处理连环杀手案时,缺乏经验,这导致了调查的延误和失误。
Terry Hammer: 即使性工作者违法,她们也应该得到与其他人一样的调查质量。
Gregory Landis: 迈克尔·琳恩·德宁并非典型的受害者,她当时正在努力重建生活。
Sheriff Sterk: 我努力确保该案的资金不会被撤销,直到案件侦破。
Al Gotti: 我不知道罗伯特·耶茨为什么要杀人。
Robert Yates' father: 罗伯特·耶茨从小在一个充满爱的家庭中长大,他是一个好孩子,我无法理解他为什么会杀人。
Sonia: 我仍然爱我的父亲,但我不知道他为什么要杀人。
Rina: 我认识罗伯特·耶茨,并与他约会过,一起吸毒。他是一个性格复杂的人。

Mark Furman: 'Then finally police get their man, a former army pilot and father of five. Murder in the first degree of you please. Mr. Yates deserves to die. We took him off the street before he could create any new victims. But Furman charges the delay was deadly. Nine, ten women would still be alive.'
Mike Fitzsimmons: 'We didn't really investigate the murders, we investigated the investigation.'
Michelle: '1986 is when I started working the street. ... When a prostitute disappears, that's it. It's scary.'
Debbie Fine: 'A lot of people might think that because someone might have been a part of that street life, that they're not loved, they don't have a family, no one cares about them. But that's not true in Shawn's case.'
Rena: 'I went out there and worked anyway.'
Detective Fred Roich: 'They were human beings. Every one of them was a daughter, a sister.'
George Lindholm: 'The common activity here was gunshot wounds, very typically two gunshot wounds to the head.'
Ben Estes: 'It was a whole learning experience for all of us and many of us have been involved in homicide cases but this was our first serial killer case.'
Terry Hammer: 'Those women regardless of their stature in life deserve the same quality of investigation is anybody on the face of this earth and that's what we attempted to do.'
Gregory Landis: 'She was an incredible person. ... Michael Lynn was in the wrong place at the wrong time.'
Sheriff Sterk: 'As the sheriff, I had to fight the policy makers in this community to make sure that our funding didn't get withdrawn for this investigation before it was done.'
Al Gotti: 'He told me he doesn't know why he did that.'
Robert Yates' father: 'He was very much loved. ... I want the victim's family to also know that I care about them, too.'
Sonia: 'And I still love my dad.'
Rina: 'And after the date was done, he said, can you get me some crack?'
Deep Dive
The episode begins by introducing the series of murders of women, mostly sex workers, in Spokane, Washington during the late 1990s. The police initially struggled to connect the cases, leading to accusations of mishandling the investigation and a rising body count. The involvement of ex-detective Mark Furman and journalist Mike Fitzsimmons adds another layer of complexity.
- Dozen women murdered in three years
- Most victims were sex workers
- Police initially struggled to connect the cases
- Furman and Fitzsimmons investigated the police investigation
- Two gunshot wounds to the head
