本案讲述了1992年发生在麻萨诸塞州阿加瓦姆镇的丽莎·齐格特谋杀案。丽莎是一位年轻的教师,在一家礼品店兼职。她被绑架并杀害,案件一度成为悬案。经过多年的调查,警方最终利用最新的DNA技术和基因系谱学技术,锁定了嫌疑人盖瑞·沙拉。盖瑞·沙拉在案发后拒绝提供DNA样本,但在2017年,警方根据DNA画像和证词等线索,找到了他。盖瑞·沙拉最终承认了罪行,并被判处终身监禁,不得假释。本案展现了科技进步对侦破案件的重要作用,也反映了受害者家属多年来为寻求正义所付出的努力。案件中,警方收集到犯罪现场的DNA样本,但由于1992年DNA技术有限,案件一度陷入僵局。直到2016年,Parabon Nanolabs公司利用DNA信息,制作出嫌疑人的画像,帮助警方缩小了侦查范围。警方根据画像和年龄、拒绝提供DNA样本等因素,列出了11名可能的嫌疑人。经过DNA比对,盖瑞·沙拉被确定为头号嫌疑人。他曾多次接受警方问询,但始终拒绝提供DNA样本。最终,警方获得了搜查令,强制要求他提供DNA样本,并与犯罪现场的DNA样本进行比对,结果完全吻合。此外,盖瑞·沙拉还写信承认了罪行,并试图自杀,但未遂。这些证据最终促使他认罪。本案中,丽莎的家人为寻求正义付出了巨大努力,他们坚持不懈地向媒体和警方提供信息,最终帮助警方破案。本案也提醒我们,即使是看似毫无头绪的冷案,随着科技的进步和执法人员的努力,也有可能得到解决。
