1977年4月13日,加拿大阿尔伯塔省托菲尔德镇附近的一对夫妇在自家废弃谷仓的化粪池中发现了一具年轻男子的尸体。死者身穿蓝色牛仔衬衫、灰色T恤、蓝色牛仔裤和人造袋鼠皮鞋,尸体被黄床单包裹并用尼龙绳捆绑。警方初步判断为凶杀案。验尸结果显示,死者生前遭受了酷刑,全身多处烧伤,并遭受了严重的性侵犯,最终死于头部和胸部中枪。死者遗体中还发现了生石灰,这是一种用于加速分解的化学物质,但由于与水混合,反而减缓了分解速度,使得尸体保存相对完好。警方怀疑凶手是当地人,熟悉案发地点。由于死者身份不明,案件一度陷入僵局。 警方进行了多次调查,包括查阅失踪人口报告、指纹比对、牙科记录比对以及面部重建,但均未能确认死者身份。死者被埋葬在无名墓中,并被称为“化粪池山姆”。案件一度告冷,但随着科技的发展,警方于2017年启动了一项全国性的DNA项目,希望能够确认死者的身份。2019年,警方将收集到的部分DNA样本送往数据库进行比对,但比对失败。随后,警方与美国一家名为Othram的私人实验室合作,利用先进的DNA技术,最终确认死者的身份为戈登·埃德温·桑德森。 戈登·埃德温·桑德森,昵称戈迪,九岁时被送入寄养家庭,成年后有吸毒史,生活困苦。他的家人最后一次见到他是在他计划与弟弟见面的时候,此后便失去联系。桑德森的姐姐在1980年报案,但警方未能将失踪案与“化粪池山姆”案联系起来。直到2021年,通过DNA鉴定,警方才确认“化粪池山姆”就是戈登·埃德温·桑德森。虽然死者的身份已经确认,但凶手仍然逍遥法外。警方怀疑桑德森认识他的凶手,并呼吁知情人士提供线索。
