播音员:本集讲述了13岁男孩Matthew Margolies于1984年8月31日在康涅狄格州格林威治失踪并被谋杀的案件。警方进行了大规模搜查,但40年来未能逮捕任何嫌犯。案情扑朔迷离,涉及多个嫌疑人和大量证据,但最终未能结案。 案发当天,Matthew在祖母家过夜,早上骑车去河边钓鱼,并在斯巴达熟食店买了东西。上午他被目击在河边钓鱼,之后回到祖母家。下午和傍晚,他在彭伯威克地区被多次目击。晚上8点59分,他的母亲报警称他失踪。 警方和家人在拜拉姆河附近搜寻,最初认为他可能发生意外。但搜寻犬的线索中断,也没有其他发现。直到9月5日,一名志愿消防员在树林里发现了他的黑白相间的运动鞋,并在附近发现了他的遗体,埋在一个简易坟墓里。 Matthew的遗体只穿着内衣,衬衫被绑在脖子上,一只袜子在嘴里。验尸结果显示他被刺伤多次,死因为创伤性窒息和多处刀伤。现场发现一把剔骨刀,被认为是凶器。Matthew的鱼竿失踪了。 调查中,警方询问了多个嫌疑人,包括“山谷男孩”成员,以及其他一些与Matthew关系密切的人。警方还收到了关于Matthew和一名年龄较大的少年可能上了一个不知名人士驾驶的皮卡车的证词。 2000年,案卷公开,引发了人们对案件的讨论,并揭露了多名嫌疑人,包括Alfred, Foster, Eddie, Douglas和Charlie。其中,Douglas和Charlie是“山谷男孩”成员,他们与Matthew发生过冲突,且他们的证词前后矛盾。 2004年,警方将Roger Kenneth Bates列为新的嫌疑人,他是一名前警察,曾因性侵犯被判刑。证人证词显示Bates曾与Matthew一起钓鱼,并在Matthew遇害后行为异常。警方采集了Bates的DNA样本,但最终未能将其起诉。 尽管警方进行了大量的调查工作,但Matthew Margolies的谋杀案至今仍未结案。 Kylie Lowe:本集讲述了Matthew Margolies的案件,这起案件发生在一个原本宁静的新英格兰小镇,却因为这起毫无意义的犯罪而陷入混乱。尽管有许多嫌疑人和大量证据,但警方未能逮捕任何嫌犯。 Matthew的母亲Marianne:她对儿子的死感到悲痛,但她选择专注于对儿子的美好回忆,而不是案发当天的事件。她表达了对生活的热爱,并表示生活是美好而重要的。
