知名游戏《文明VII》的开场动画预告片旁白。
Jim Gradeless：作为前Kill Devil Hills警察局长，我对Denise Johnson的死感到震惊。我认识Johnson一家，并对这起凶残的谋杀案感到痛心。虽然我已退休，但我希望能够参与调查，但出于对现任警长的尊重，我没有干涉。我被允许进入犯罪现场，但那也是警务流程上的一个错误，因为这可能会污染证据。
Ray Davis：在我担任Kill Devil Hills警察局长期间，这起案件是对我执法生涯的重大考验。我们立即启动了调查，并寻求了州调查局（SBI）和联邦调查局（FBI）的协助。我们尽了最大努力，但由于缺乏物证和目击证人，调查进展缓慢。我们走访了大量证人，但大多数信息都与案件无关。纵火和凶案现场的破坏也给调查带来了极大的困难。尽管如此，我们仍然希望能够为受害者家属带来一些慰藉。
Bill Walker：我加入调查时，案件已经发生数月。缺乏物证和目击证人是我们面临的最大挑战。我们调查了大量的线索，但大多数都是无用的。犯罪现场的破坏也使得寻找证据变得异常困难。我们对第一个目击者和Denise的邻居进行了深入的询问，但没有发现任何有价值的线索。我们还前往FBI寻求帮助，但最终也没有取得任何突破。这起案件的未解让我感到非常沮丧。
Jim Gradeless: As the former chief of police in Kill Devil Hills, I was shocked and saddened by the death of Denise Johnson. I knew the Johnson family and was heartbroken by this brutal murder. Though retired, I wished I could have been involved in the investigation but out of respect for the new chief, I did not interfere. I was allowed into the crime scene, but that too was a mistake in police procedure as it could have contaminated evidence.
Ray Davis: During my time as chief of police in Kill Devil Hills, this case was a significant test of my law enforcement career. We immediately launched an investigation and sought assistance from the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). We did our best, but due to a lack of physical evidence and witnesses, the investigation progressed slowly. We interviewed a large number of witnesses, but most of the information was irrelevant to the case. The destruction of the arson and murder scene also made the investigation extremely difficult. Despite this, we still hope to bring some comfort to the victim's family.
Bill Walker: When I joined the investigation, the case had already been ongoing for several months. The lack of physical evidence and witnesses was our biggest challenge. We investigated a large number of leads, but most were useless. The destruction of the crime scene also made finding evidence exceptionally difficult. We interviewed the first witness and Denise's neighbors extensively, but we didn't find any valuable clues. We also went to the FBI for help, but ultimately we didn't make any breakthroughs. The unsolved nature of this case is very frustrating to me.
