Peyton Moreland: 本期节目讲述了1994年发生在缅因州Bridgeton镇的Crystal Perry谋杀案。12岁的女儿Sarah Perry在案发当晚听到母亲的尖叫声，并目睹了部分案情，成为关键证人。尽管警方在案发现场发现了大量血迹、鞋印和性侵犯证据，但由于指纹模糊不清，DNA比对技术受限，案件一度陷入僵局。十二年后，凶手Michael Hutchinson因其他罪行被捕，其DNA与案发现场DNA匹配，最终被判处无期徒刑。本案展现了科技进步对侦破案件的重要性，也体现了受害者家属的坚强与执着。 Garrett Moreland: 本案中，警方的调查过程一波三折，最初的嫌疑人Dennis Butler因DNA证据排除嫌疑，而真正的凶手Michael Hutchinson却在十二年后才被抓获。这说明即使有充足的证据，如果没有合适的比对对象，案件也很难侦破。同时，本案也反映了小城镇的特殊性，人际关系复杂，信息传播迅速，这既有利于案件侦破，也有可能导致误判。Sarah Perry在案发后积极配合警方调查，并最终克服创伤，成为作家，她的坚强令人敬佩。
