Topics
Sarah Turney: 本期播客详细讲述了1989年特蕾西·柯克帕特里克谋杀案的经过,以及警方多年来调查此案的历程。案件发生在马里兰州弗雷德里克的一家女装店,特蕾西在关店后被发现死于店内,身上有多处刀伤。案发现场没有明显的搏斗痕迹,也没有财物丢失,警方怀疑是熟人作案。案件调查过程中,警方曾收到匿名电话自称是凶手,但由于证据不足,未能破案。多年来,警方多次对案件进行重新调查,并对相关人员进行重新问话,但始终没有取得突破性进展。特蕾西的家人也一直积极参与案件的调查,并呼吁公众提供线索。 本案中,警方在调查初期存在一些不足,例如未能及时对犯罪现场进行充分的勘察和证据收集,导致一些关键证据的丢失。此外,不同警官对案件的看法也不一致,这给案件的侦破带来了困难。尽管如此,警方始终没有放弃对案件的调查,并表示对找到凶手充满信心。 播客主持人还基于自身零售经验,推测特蕾西可能在关店过程中被打扰,并认为凶手可能是熟人。 匿名电话者: 我在三个月前杀害了一个女孩,她当时在一家女装店工作。我们曾有过争执,我用随身携带的刀子杀害了她。事后我后悔了,但已经无法挽回。 比尔·柯克帕特里克: 我们一直积极配合警方调查,希望能够找到杀害特蕾西的凶手,为她讨回公道。我们对警方的工作存在一些质疑,但我们始终相信真相终将大白。 迪昂达·柯克帕特里克: 姐姐的死对我们全家造成了巨大的打击,我们一直生活在恐惧和悲伤之中。我们希望能够找到凶手,让凶手受到应有的惩罚,也希望能够让特蕾西的灵魂得到安息。我们相信,案件最终会得到解决。 弗雷德里克警察局长理查德·阿什顿: 我们已经将嫌疑人范围缩小到两个人,我们相信我们已经掌握了凶手的身份,但我们需要更多的证据来证明这一点。 罗伯特·A·塞尔瓦西克警官: 我相信我们已经找到了凶手,但我不能透露更多信息。 巴里·霍纳警官: 在案发初期,我们因为案件过多,未能及时对案件进行充分调查,这给我们带来了很大的遗憾。
