我感到很紧张，因为我们不知道会发现什么。到达犯罪现场后，我意识到这是一起非常野蛮的袭击，凶手使用了棒球棒，而且这起袭击是经过精心策划的。房间里到处都是血，这表明凶手怀有非常私人的仇恨。有人精神失常，一旦开始杀戮，就无法停止。在一个中上阶层社区里，三个毫无防备的人被残忍地殴打致死，我觉得这里不安全。这是一次完美执行的计划，凶手是受害者认识的人。 高级副检察官James Jude Conant认为，凶手自以为比世界上其他人都聪明。侦探Bob Thompson认为这是一起过度杀戮。

Shownotes Transcript

In 1994, Sultana Rafay, her husband Tariq, and their autistic daughter, Basma, were brutally murdered. Investigators focused on two primary suspects: Atif Rafay, the only surviving family member, and his friend Sebastian Burns. They had taken refuge in Canada and wrote a screenplay with a plot that paralleled the murders. Was the script fiction or a confession? This episode last aired on 9/15/07.

After you listen to this episode, don’t miss the ""Killer Conversation"" companion episode, dropping tomorrow in the 48 Hours podcast feed. Through behind-the-scenes stories and moments that never made it to air, Killer Conversation pulls back the curtain on what it’s really like to sit across from someone capable of murder and how that experience still haunts them years later.
