播音员:1941年冬天,在缅因州波特兰市中心一条小巷发现一具男性尸体,调查人员对事故和谋杀两种理论存在分歧,由于案件久远和证据不足,案件侦破难度极大。 警方调查受限于档案缺失,无法找到案件记录。 当时的调查人员更愿意与记者分享信息,为我们留下了宝贵的资料。 Kylie Lowe:本集讲述了菲利普·温德尔·博伊斯案,这是一个可能随着时间推移而被遗忘的案件,但它值得被讲述。 验尸官Dr. Wilbur Layton:初步判断死者死亡时间不超过一小时,死者身上有血迹,衣着无明显破损,但鞋跟磨损。尸检显示死者颅骨多处骨折,血液酒精含量高,但死因无法确定,颅骨骨折可能是致命伤。 检察官Albert Knudson:怀疑死者的死是他人造成的暴力行为,下令对菲利普的可疑死亡进行全面彻底的调查。 警长Harold McGuire:推测菲利普的伤可能是有人抓住他的头发,然后把他的头撞到什么东西上造成的。认为死者的姿势是被摆放的。 莱利博士Dr. Timothy Leary:认为菲利普死于头部先着地摔倒,头部受到的撞击力超出了人类所能造成的范围。 约翰·富勒顿:自首承认谋杀,但后来又翻供,他的证词与案情不符,最终因试图抢夺警枪被判缓刑。

During the winter of 1941, the death of Philip Wendel Boyce found in a downtown Portland, Maine alleyway left investigators divided by two very different theories: Was it an accident or was it murder? 

Every once in a while, I like to go way, way back and unearth cases that might otherwise be lost with time. Given its age and the circumstances you’re about to hear, it’s unlikely that any investigative resources will be devoted to this case ever again… But that’s exactly the kind of story that deserves to be told.
