Kristen Sevey: 本期节目讲述了1996年发生在马萨诸塞州林恩市一起令人震惊的儿童失踪案。六岁的耶稣·德拉克鲁斯在玩耍时被一名陌生男子带走，至今下落不明。警方将罗伯特·勒韦斯克列为嫌疑人，但缺乏确凿证据。本案存在两种主要理论：一是勒韦斯克绑架了耶稣；二是耶稣的失踪与他母亲Magdalena可能参与的毒品交易有关。调查过程中，警方对Magdalena的证词表示怀疑，她未能通过测谎仪测试，这加剧了人们对案件的猜测。尽管警方进行了大规模搜寻，但耶稣始终没有被找到，案件至今仍未侦破。 Magdalena Rodriguez: 作为耶稣的母亲，Magdalena积极参与了寻找儿子的行动，组织了多次搜寻活动和烛光守夜，并多次接受警方问询。她始终坚称自己与毒品交易无关，并对儿子的失踪感到非常痛苦。她对警方的调查进展表示不满，并公开指责勒韦斯克是绑架犯。 Robert Levesque: 勒韦斯克是本案的主要嫌疑人，警方在其公寓内发现了一些可疑物品，但缺乏直接证据证明他与耶稣的失踪有关。他拒绝配合警方的调查，并否认任何参与。他曾因其他罪行被捕，但最终因证据不足获释。 Bernard Edwards: Bernard是耶稣失踪案的关键目击证人，他描述了带走耶稣的男子和他的狗。尽管他未能准确认出勒韦斯克的照片，但他认出了勒韦斯克的狗Peaches，这为警方提供了重要的线索。

Shownotes Transcript

1996 - Lynn, Massachusetts.

On the evening of September 28th, 1996, a man with a dog approached 6-year-old Jesus de la Cruz with the enticing offer of a shiny bike for him to play with. Jesus' bike had been broken, so he followed the man up the street and toward a park, excited about his new toy. He was never seen again.

The man was later identified as Robert Levesque, but he claimed to have no knowledge about Jesus. On paper, he looked like the perfect suspect. But as the investigative layers begin to peel back and additional suspects emerge, detectives were left baffled with more questions than answers in a desperate race against time.

The disappearance of Jesus de la Cruz remains one of New England's most haunting mysteries. It’s also every parent's worst nightmare: a total stranger abducting your child in broad daylight.

If you have any information about the kidnapping of Jesus, I urge you to call the Lynn Police Dept at 781-595-2000.
