Kristen Zevey: 本集讲述了1988年发生在缅因州邦戈市中心的Peter J. Bassett谋杀案。这是一起令人震惊的案件,因为凶案发生在一个繁忙的夏夜,有多名目击者,但多年来却一直未破案。调查人员逮捕了Peter的朋友Terry Thompson,但由于证据不足,指控被撤销。此案突出了缅因州的Passamaquoddy部落的文化和历史,以及该部落在20世纪70年代为争取土地权利而进行的斗争。尽管案件未破,但Peter的家人仍在寻求正义。 Cheryl Bassett: Peter Bassett的妻子Cheryl认为谋杀的动机是抢劫,因为Peter当时正在努力工作以支付房屋改造费用。她还提到,案发当晚,Terry Thompson对Peter说了种族歧视的话,这导致了两人发生争吵。 Frida Bassett: Peter Bassett的双胞胎姐姐Frida多年来一直通过在报纸上刊登纪念文章来纪念弟弟,表达了她对正义的渴望。 Terry Thompson: Terry Thompson否认自己开枪杀害了Peter Bassett,但承认案发当晚与Peter在一起。 Martha Harris: Terry Thompson的辩护律师Martha Harris认为,新的保释法使得辩护律师在保释问题上几乎没有发言权。她还指出,对Terry Thompson的指控被撤销是因为发现了新的信息,这些信息质疑了Terry Thompson的参与程度。 Jeffrey Helm: 助理检察长Jeffrey Helm表示,撤销对Terry Thompson的起诉并非因为质疑证词的有效性,而是因为其他因素,例如另一个未具名的嫌疑人。他强调,调查仍在继续,如果出现新的证据,Terry Thompson仍有可能再次被起诉。 Joan Smith: Pat酒吧的酒保Joan Smith证实,Peter Bassett和Terry Thompson案发当晚都在酒吧里,并且两人发生了激烈的争吵。 Mike: Pat酒吧的顾客Mike记得案发当晚看到Peter Bassett和Terry Thompson在酒吧里打台球,但他拒绝透露两人之间发生了什么。

Shownotes Transcript

1988 - Bangor, Maine.

When Peter J. Bassett stepped outside of Judy’s Bar and Grill to get some air, he had no idea that this would be his last moment. Within minutes, an unknown person pulled the trigger on a gun, shooting and killing Peter in cold blood in the middle of downtown Bangor, Maine on a Saturday night.

Who would shoot this man? And how could somebody get away with something like this? Surely there were witnesses... Surely the family had answers...

But they don’t. And this 1988 unlisted Maine cold case remains open and unsolved, and a killer remains on the loose. 

This episode highlights some of the music and culture of the Passamaquoddy People, an Indigenous tribe of Maine.
