本集讲述了William "Billy" Smolinski Jr.于2004年8月失踪的案件。警方和斯莫林斯基家族进行了长达二十年的调查,但比利的下落仍然不明。案件中涉及多名关键人物,包括比利的前女友Madeline Gleason及其已故儿子Sean Karpiak,以及Chad Hansen,他们都曾被警方怀疑与案件有关联。调查过程中,警方和斯莫林斯基家族多次进行搜查,但均未找到比利的遗体。此外,案件中还出现了许多疑点,例如比利的卡车停放在异常位置,比利失踪当天最后拨打的电话,以及有人故意撕毁比利的寻人启事等。斯莫林斯基家族为寻找比利付出了巨大的努力,他们张贴了大量的寻人启事,并积极与警方合作。他们还为失踪人员及其家属倡导权益,最终促成了"比利法案"的通过。尽管案件至今未破,但斯莫林斯基家族仍然没有放弃希望,他们坚信总有一天能够找到比利,并为其讨回公道。 本案中,比利的前女友Madeline Gleason是关键人物之一。她与比利的关系复杂,在比利失踪前夕,两人刚刚分手。Madeline曾向警方提供了一些信息,但她的一些说法前后矛盾,也曾被怀疑隐瞒了真相。警方认为Madeline可能掌握了比利失踪的关键信息,但由于种种原因,她一直拒绝配合警方的调查。 Chad Hansen是另一名关键人物,他曾多次向警方提供关于比利下落的线索,但这些线索最终都被证明是虚假的。Chad Hansen最终因向警方提供虚假信息而被定罪。尽管如此,警方仍然认为Chad Hansen可能知道比利失踪的真相。 本案中,警方在调查过程中也存在一些问题,例如最初拒绝受理比利失踪的报案,以及对比利卡车的法医分析进行得过于迟缓等。这些问题都对案件的侦破造成了不利影响。 斯莫林斯基家族在寻找比利的过程中,也面临着来自Madeline Gleason及其家人的骚扰和指控。他们坚持不懈地寻找比利,并为其他失踪人员及其家属倡导权益,最终促成了"比利法案"的通过。
