Topics
Ashley Flowers 和 Brit Prawat：莫莉·杨的死亡案充满谜团和争议，警方调查存在疑点，莫莉的家人怀疑Richie Minton涉嫌谋杀。 Richie Minton：声称莫莉自杀，并过量服用药物。但其陈述前后矛盾，难以自圆其说。 West Romar：作为Richie的室友，他提供了部分信息，但其证词也存在疑点。 Molly Young的家人：他们认为Richie对莫莉有言语和情感上的虐待，莫莉害怕枪支，因此不相信莫莉会自杀。他们认为警方调查存在偏袒，证据被篡改。 调查人员：最初认定为自杀，后转向谋杀方向调查。但最终认为证据不足以指控任何人犯有谋杀罪。 法医：尸检报告最初认定为自杀，后死因调查结果为未定。 州警察和特别检察官：对案件进行了调查，但最终认为没有足够的证据指控任何人犯有谋杀罪。 警方调查存在诸多疑点，包括允许Richie在被带去警局前换衣服，以及对关键证据（如枪击残留物、DNA、抓痕等）的处理和解释存在争议。莫莉的家人认为，警方调查存在偏袒，证据被篡改，以保护Richie及其家人。
