播音员:本集讲述了克里斯托弗·鲁夫的故事,他于2010年在缅因州被发现死亡,多年后才被确认身份。一名女子通过收听播客,凭借直觉将一名身份不明的死者认定为失踪多年的克里斯托弗·鲁夫,最终帮助警方确认了他的身份。警方最初认为没有他杀迹象,但多年来一直未能确认其身份。在克里斯托弗·鲁夫失踪后,他的家人和朋友们建立了一个脸书群组寻找他,但并没有报案。克里斯托弗·鲁夫失踪且未被报案的原因可能是他本人选择消失。他的失踪可能与梭罗的《瓦尔登湖》中所表达的隐居生活理念有关。最终,通过DNA比对,确认Stacyville John Doe的身份为克里斯托弗·鲁夫。播音员鼓励人们积极提供线索,即使线索看起来微不足道。警方表示,如果没有Sydney Kopp提供的线索,他们可能永远无法破案。克里斯托弗·鲁夫是一位文学和创意写作教师,并出版过儿童诗歌。克里斯托弗·鲁夫的死因尚未确定,他的母亲也曾在几十年去世,死因不明。 Sydney Kopp:Sydney Kopp 记得克里斯托弗·鲁夫是她最喜欢的代课老师,并且在同一教堂长大。Sydney Kopp 回忆克里斯托弗·鲁夫是一位善良和蔼的老师。在收听一个播客时,听到对Stacyville John Doe的描述,联想到了她以前认识的克里斯托弗·鲁夫。死者衣物描述与Sydney Kopp对克里斯托弗·鲁夫的印象相符。Sydney Kopp 犹豫了几个月才向警方报案,因为她觉得这只是一个长镜头。警方认真对待了Sydney Kopp的报案,并迅速采取了行动。Sydney Kopp 回忆克里斯托弗·鲁夫是一位内心平静、善良的人。 Alex McDougall:Alex McDougall 在接到编辑的任务后,开始调查克里斯托弗·鲁夫的案件。克里斯托弗·鲁夫的死因尚未确定,他的母亲也曾在几十年去世,死因不明。
