Courtney Fretwell-Ariola: 本集讲述了2015年圣诞节前夕发生在新墨西哥州一起性侵案。受害者在跑步时遭到袭击,但由于缺乏线索,案件一度陷入僵局。直到2019年,警方利用法医基因系谱学技术,通过公共DNA数据库,找到了嫌疑人的远房亲属,最终锁定了嫌疑人Angel Garule。此案是新墨西哥州首例利用法医基因系谱学破获的强奸案,也体现了该技术在侦破此类案件中的重要作用。整个案件的侦破过程,从受害者报警到最终抓捕嫌疑人,历时数年,期间充满了挑战和转折。 受害者: 受害者在新墨西哥州一条受欢迎的跑步小径上遭到袭击,身心遭受严重创伤。她最初没有报警,三个月后才向警方报案,这在性侵案件中较为常见。她提供了嫌疑人的体貌特征和手绘画像,但这些信息不足以帮助警方破案。在案件侦破过程中,她一直生活在恐惧之中,直到嫌疑人被抓获。 Angel Garule: Angel Garule承认了罪行,并对自己的行为表示悔恨。他解释说,他当时并没有预谋强奸,只是在看到受害者独自跑步时,一时冲动犯下了罪行。他将自己拍摄受害者照片的行为称为“战利品”。他与警方积极配合,最终达成认罪协议,被判处12年监禁。他的童年经历和家庭背景也成为量刑考虑的因素。 Courtney Fretwell-Ariola: 本案的侦破过程曲折复杂,从最初的线索匮乏,到利用法医基因系谱学技术取得突破,最终成功抓捕嫌疑人。这不仅展现了法医基因系谱学技术的强大威力,也反映了在侦破此类案件中,多方合作和技术创新的重要性。同时,本案也引发了人们对性侵犯案件中受害者保护、法律量刑等问题的思考。
