本集讲述了1975年6月发生在缅因州纽波特镇的罗伯特·麦基谋杀案。麦基是一名六年级教师，暑假期间在麦纳利德士古加油站兼职。凌晨4点左右，一名渔民在加油站发现麦基死于血泊之中，现金抽屉被打开，至少600美元现金和35加仑汽油失窃。警方调查显示麦基死于头部多处枪伤，凶器为小型武器。案发后不久，附近一家商店也遭到抢劫。警方调查两起案件之间的关联性，并逮捕了怀曼湖商店抢劫案的四名嫌疑人，但麦基案的凶手仍然逍遥法外。警方公开呼吁知情者提供线索，并收到两封匿名信，但其中一封为恶作剧，另一封线索不足以破案。1981年，警方重新调查此案，并在皮茨菲尔德搜查可能的凶器，但一无所获。麦基的儿子长大后从事警务工作，希望找到杀害父亲的凶手。

Shownotes Transcript

It was just before 4 a.m. on June 20, 1975 in Newport, Maine. The sky was just warming with hints of dawn and the air was quiet save for the buzz of the ice cooler and Coca Cola vending machine sitting in the dim glow of the gas station lights. The fishermen waiting in their car for gasoline noticed a light on inside McNally’s Texaco, but no one came to greet them outside at the pump. Anxious to get their day started, the driver stepped out of the car to see what was the hold up.

As he opened the door to the station, the unsuspecting fisherman found 35-year old Robert McKee lying on the floor in a pool of blood. His murder remains unsolved to this day.
