Anne-Marie Green:作为主持人,我介绍了1996年丹尼·豪滕斯在蒙大拿州遇害的案件。最初警方认为是意外溺水,但家属怀疑是谋杀。经过28年,凶手终于被找到,我们将深入探讨此案。
Peter Van Sant:作为48小时的记者,我始终对1996年警方为何不公开宣布此案为谋杀感到困惑。隐瞒案情可能会错失公众提供的线索,让凶手逍遥法外。丹尼的姐姐斯蒂芬妮是本案的英雄,她多年来一直为妹妹争取正义。新上任的警长丹·斯普林格也承诺会解决此案。经验丰富的调查员汤姆·埃尔夫蒙特的加入也至关重要。在采访嫌疑人哈钦森时,他表现得非常紧张,最终畏罪自杀。虽然正义最终到来,但斯蒂芬妮和她的家人永远无法得到所有的答案。
Lauren Clark:作为制片人,我与丹尼的家人进行了深入交流。丹尼的死对她的家人影响很大,特别是她的姐姐斯蒂芬妮。斯蒂芬妮一直努力推动案件的重新调查,并最终看到了正义的曙光。DNA技术的进步和基因系谱学的应用是破案的关键。斯普林格警长对DNA检测的资金支持也至关重要。埃尔夫蒙特对案件的投入和积极思考是解决案件的关键。虽然哈钦森畏罪自杀,但斯蒂芬妮最终在加勒廷河撒了她姐姐的骨灰,完成了对姐姐的纪念。
Deep Dive

This decision baffled many, including Deputy Farquhar, who eventually left the department due to frustration. The decision to withhold this information is still baffling today, with some suggesting that it was done to avoid tipping off a potential suspect, while others believe it was simply a mistake.
