Mr. Ballen: 本期节目讲述了发生在1988年爱荷华州谢南多厄镇的一起真实凶杀案，受害者是辛迪·博顿。案件扑朔迷离，经过警方长时间的调查，最终抓获了真凶——辛迪儿子的朋友吉姆·贝蒂斯。本故事包含暴力细节，听众需谨慎。 案发当天，辛迪在家中被凶手残忍杀害，现场极其血腥。警方最初怀疑辛迪的丈夫罗伯特和儿子约翰，但经过调查，排除了他们的嫌疑。 在案件调查过程中，警方还发现谢南多厄镇发生了一系列纵火案，凶手在纵火案现场留下字条，自称“夜行者”，但指纹比对失败。 最终，警方通过一名青少年杰克·约翰逊提供的线索，找到了真凶吉姆·贝蒂斯。吉姆承认自己犯下纵火案和凶杀案，他杀害辛迪的动机是出于对父亲的仇恨，将辛迪作为练习杀人的目标。吉姆最终被判处终身监禁。 Robert Borton: 我否认杀害我的妻子辛迪。案发当天，我早上去了工作，中午回家和辛迪一起吃午饭，之后又回到工作岗位。我回到家时发现辛迪遇害，并立即报警。我爱我的妻子，我不会伤害她。 John Borton: 我母亲的死让我非常震惊和悲痛。案发当天我在学校，我没有参与这起凶杀案。我和母亲的关系很好，我们之间没有严重的冲突。 Jim Bettis: 我承认我杀害了辛迪·博顿，我也承认纵火案是我做的。我当时非常恨我的父亲，我杀害辛迪是为了练习杀人，我把她当成了我父亲的替身。我为我的行为感到后悔。 Jack Johnson: 我和吉姆是好朋友，案发后他向我坦白了他杀害辛迪·博顿的事实，并向我描述了作案细节。我将这些信息告诉了警方，帮助警方破获了这起案件。

This story is a fan favorite that was previously published as Episode 34.

On September 6th, 1988, a middle aged woman named Cindy Borton, was washing dishes in her little house in Shenandoah, Iowa. As she did this, she heard a knock on her back door. She glanced at her watch and saw that she only had a few minutes before she had to get ready for work, and so she just hoped that whoever was there, was not expecting a long visit.… A few hours later, the police would arrive at Cindy’s house and they would discover a crime scene so gruesome, that they had to call in a special investigative unit just to process it.
