Kylie Low: 本集播客将讲述Sarah Cherry谋杀案，该案收到众多听众要求讲述，并探讨案件中的失误、上诉以及支持DeShane清白的人们。我们将基于证据、证词和陈述，尽可能接近真相地讲述Dennis DeShane的逮捕、审判和定罪过程。 Dan Reed: 我是参与Sarah Cherry失踪案调查的警官之一，当时我刚从警校毕业不久，对案件的严重性没有完全意识到。在案发现场附近发现了Dennis DeShane的收据，这成为调查的关键线索。我们根据收据上的信息找到了Dennis DeShane，但他当时不在家。后来根据目击者信息找到了他，并对他进行了初步问询，他的陈述前后矛盾。在问询过程中，他的车钥匙被发现藏匿于警车内。两天后，Sarah Cherry的尸体被发现，死状惨烈。Dennis DeShane被捕，并做出了自相矛盾的陈述。 Trial and Error组织：我们认为Dennis DeShane被冤枉，并提出了自己的论点，包括新的DNA证据、死亡时间以及其他可疑的警务行为。我们认为，在审判中，一些对Dennis DeShane有利的证据没有被充分考虑，或者被故意忽略。

Shownotes Transcript

MAINE MURDER, 1988: 12-year old Sarah Cherry disappeared while babysitting on July 6, 1988. A clue laying in the driveway of the house where she was last seen pointed investigators to their primary suspect. Two days later, Sarah's body was discovered in a shallow grave in the woods in Bowdoinham, Maine.

Dennis Dechaine is serving a life sentence for the murder of Sarah Cherry, but over 30 years later, he maintains his innocence, and so do his loyal supporters.

Retired Detective Dan Reed joins me in the telling of this story. He was one of the first to respond when Sarah was reported missing. Dan Reed came face to face with the man who would later be convicted of her murder.
