播音员:本期节目讲述了2014年新泽西州谢里丹夫妇在家中被杀害,房屋被烧毁的案件。警方最初认定为谋杀自杀,但谢里丹家人对此表示质疑,并聘请独立病理学家进行二次尸检。案件中存在许多疑点,例如现场发现的刀具与死者伤势不符,以及法医证据的可靠性等。最终,约翰的死因被改为'未定',案件被重新调查。 警方:根据现场勘查和法医证据,认定谢里丹夫妇的死因是谋杀自杀。没有强行入室的迹象,死者身上有刀伤,且现场发现汽油桶和火柴。约翰的刀伤被认为是自残,而乔伊斯的刀伤则显示有防御性动作。 谢里丹家人:强烈质疑警方的结论,认为是入室抢劫杀人纵火。他们认为警方没有进行充分的调查,例如没有检查指纹和血迹,法医证据存在问题,验尸官与检察官办公室关系密切等。他们聘请独立病理学家进行二次尸检,结果与警方的结论相矛盾。 独立病理学家:对警方的结论表示质疑,认为约翰的伤势不像是自残,而更有可能是被攻击造成的。此外,还指出可能存在第三把凶器。 警探:举报法医部门在谢里丹夫妇案件中存在失职行为,证据收集、保存和处理不当,甚至可能被销毁。这进一步质疑了警方的调查结果的可靠性。

But after the police wrapped up the investigation, they believed the couple died in a murder-suicide plot. However, those close to the Sheridans disagree they would have done something like this. What does the forensic evidence say happen?
