Andrea Canning: 我主持了本期节目《最后一英里》,讲述了20岁大学生Molly Tibbetts在爱荷华州布鲁克林小镇失踪的故事。她是在一个温暖的夏夜跑步时失踪的,这起案件最初的小镇搜索迅速演变成大规模调查,最终通过监控视频和手机数据破案。这个地区看起来很安全,是典型的美国中心地带,Molly善良友善,信任他人,她从未想过会在日常跑步中发生这样的事情。 Josh Mankiewicz: Molly Tibbetts的失踪案发生在一个安全的小镇,邻里之间互相照应,人们通常不锁门。这起案件的调查受益于小镇的规模,监控视频和证人证言更容易核实。调查人员使用了先进的技术,例如通过购买新手机并连接到Molly的账户来克隆她的手机,以及利用FBI的CAST团队分析手机数据。手机数据显示Molly的跑步速度和方向突然改变,这表明她可能被带上了车。虽然手机数据没有提供直接证据,但它表明这起案件是随机的,并非预谋。嫌疑人Cristhian Bahena Rivera在被问话后,由于警察的失误,部分问话内容被排除,但他后来再次认罪,并带领警方找到了Molly的遗体。 Morgan Collum: 我分享了我对Molly Tibbetts最早的记忆之一,那是在奶奶家吃意大利面,Molly当时还是个婴儿,非常顽皮。 Andrea Canning: 观众对凶手如何认为自己能逃脱感到困惑,因为他的车上有Molly的血迹,还有他跟踪她的视频。检察官在没有重要证据的情况下不会轻易提起诉讼,凶手可能希望这些证据被驳回。另一个观众认为Molly的最后时刻一定非常恐怖,因为她戴着耳机,没有听到凶手接近。我们也讨论了关于女性如何避免被袭击的建议,以及教育儿子不要强奸的重要性。
