AJ: 本期节目讲述了发生在俄亥俄州塞克维尔镇的离奇案件——塞克维尔信件案。该案件持续20多年,给小镇居民带来了巨大的伤害,涉及婚外情、恐吓、谋杀等多种罪行,至今仍未完全水落石出。 匿名信件作者:通过匿名信件,指控Gordon Massey与多名女公交车司机有染,并对Mary Gillespie及其家人进行恐吓,最终导致Ron Gillespie的死亡。 Ron和Mary Gillespie:起初试图忽视匿名信件,但随着威胁升级,他们寻求家人帮助,最终导致一系列事件的发生。 警长Dwight Radcliffe:将Ron Gillespie的死归咎于酒驾事故,拒绝进一步调查,引发公众质疑。 Gillespie家人:坚信Ron Gillespie的死并非意外,而是被写信人谋杀或蓄意陷害,并对警方的调查结果表示不满。

The letters cost people their jobs, their marriages, their freedom, and sometimes, their lives.

Yet somehow, whoever wrote them got away with it. Or did they?

Officially this case is closed. But for decades, many people felt that the real culprit is still at large.

Let's find out why.
