@播音员 : 本案讲述了2005年Janet Abaroa在家中遇害的案件。她的丈夫@Raven Abaroa 最初被警方怀疑,但由于缺乏直接证据,案件一度陷入僵局。直到Raven Abaroa的第二任妻子@Vanessa Pond 站出来提供线索,以及警方重新调查发现Janet Abaroa死时仍佩戴着隐形眼镜,这与Raven Abaroa的证词相矛盾,最终Raven Abaroa被捕。在审判过程中,检方未能提供明确的作案动机,且未找到凶器,导致陪审团无法达成一致意见,最终Raven Abaroa以自愿过失杀人罪认罪,被判刑。本案中,证据的不足以及审判过程中的不确定性,使得真相扑朔迷离。 Raven Abaroa: 我没有杀害我的妻子Janet。我最初的证词是真实的,我离开家去踢足球时,Janet已经睡着了。我身上几乎没有血迹,是因为我没有碰触她的尸体。关于隐形眼镜,我并不知道她死时还戴着隐形眼镜。我承认,我与Janet的婚姻存在问题,但那不是我杀害她的理由。我认罪只是为了避免终身监禁的风险,这并不代表我承认有罪。 Vanessa Pond: 我与Raven Abaroa结婚后,发现他性格暴躁,有暴力倾向,这让我感到害怕。我曾向警方提供线索,并积极配合调查。我相信Raven Abaroa杀害了他的第一任妻子Janet。虽然我没有直接证据证明他犯了罪,但我相信我的证词能够帮助警方找到真相。 @Janet Abaroa的姐妹们 : 我的姐姐Janet是一个善良、热爱生活的人。她曾向我们倾诉过与Raven Abaroa婚姻中的不幸,她曾遭受过家暴,并多次提到想要离婚。我们相信Raven Abaroa杀害了Janet,他应该为自己的行为负责。 @Michael Guzman : 我是Janet Abaroa和Raven Abaroa的朋友,案发当天我曾去过他们家。我能够证明Raven Abaroa在案发时间离开了家,去踢足球。我没有看到任何可疑的情况,我相信Raven Abaroa是无辜的。

Shownotes Transcript

#267 - In April 2005, 25-year-old Janet Abaroa was discovered stabbed to death inside her North Carolina home - she had been found by her husband, Raven. Nothing else in the home was disturbed, and the couple’s 6-month-old son, Kaiden, was found unharmed in another bedroom. The question of who killed Janet became a mystery that quickly captivated the Durham, North Carolina, community. Despite its popularity, the case has remained unsolved for years. It wasn’t until authorities got a clue from a very unlikely source, contact lenses, that progress was finally made in the case.
