播音员:本案讲述了2008年莎拉·维德默在浴缸中神秘死亡的事件,她的丈夫赖安·维德默成为主要嫌疑人。案情扑朔迷离,围绕着溺水原因和现场证据展开激烈辩论。检方认为赖安蓄意谋杀,而辩方则坚持意外溺亡。 检方证据:911报警电话疑点重重,浴室异常干燥,莎拉身上存在多处伤痕,验尸报告显示死因是谋杀。 辩方证据:赖安的报警电话表现符合常理,浴室干燥反而支持意外溺亡,莎拉身上伤痕可能由急救措施造成,独立验尸报告对死因表示无法确定。 最终,赖安被判处15年到终身监禁,但案件真相仍存在争议。 验尸官Russell Updegrove:对莎拉的验尸结果显示,其身上存在多处伤痕,这些伤痕并非由急救措施造成,而是由暴力行为导致。因此,我将死因判定为谋杀。 法医病理学家Warner Spitz:我进行了独立验尸,发现莎拉身上的伤痕可能由急救措施,如CPR和插管等造成。因此,我无法确定死因,只能将其判定为无法确定。 Jennifer Crew:赖安向我承认杀害了莎拉,并描述了当晚的争吵和暴力行为。他承认自己殴打了莎拉,导致其死亡,并试图掩盖罪行。

Shownotes Transcript

#184 - In August 2008, 24-year-old Sarah Widmer was mysteriously found dead inside her bathtub. After only a couple hours of investigating, the police has one suspect in mind for her untimely death: her husband, Ryan Widmer. Although Ryan adamantly maintains his innocence in his wife's death, not everyone agrees. Did Ryan Widmer murder his wife, Sarah, in cold blood? Or does the forensic evidence suggest something else happened to Sarah?
