本集讲述了17岁的Mattie Hackett于1905年8月17日在缅因州Reedfield被谋杀的悬而未决的案件。尽管进行了广泛的调查，包括对Harry Jones和其他几名男子的审问，以及对Elsie Raymond的怀疑，但凶手从未被绳之以法。调查人员最初关注的是一个名叫Harry Jones的流浪汉，以及和他一起的三个同伴。然而，由于缺乏证据，他们很快就被排除。调查的焦点随后转向了Elsie Raymond，她的丈夫Bert与受害者认识。Elsie被怀疑出于嫉妒而杀害了Mattie，因为她怀疑Bert对Mattie有意思。尽管有间接证据，例如Elsie在案发当晚的行踪不明，以及与谋杀武器相似的绳索曾在Raymond家出现，但陪审团最终裁定Elsie无罪。本集还提到了William Heard的死后供词，这为案件增添了更多谜团。

Shownotes Transcript

At Readfield Corner Cemetery in quiet Readfield, Maine, a gleaming granite headstone marks the final resting place of Mattie Hackett, born January 29, 1888, died August 17, 1905. Mattie was just 17 years old when she was murdered just outside her home on Kents Hill.

Though more than a century has passed since that August evening when her life was stolen, the answer to Mattie’s mysterious killing was never uncovered. The question remains: Who really killed Mattie Hackett?
