Latest / 3 Crimes That Are Still Unsolved / EP 58 - The Evidence Was Waiting
Transcript
- HOST: Some killers didn't vanish because they were clever; they vanished because the science wasn't ready yet. [SFX: scary sting] HOST: Case one: Glasgow, 1968 and '69. Three women—Patricia Docker, Jemima MacDonald, Helen Puttock—left dance halls and were found murdered. Helen's sister survived the taxi ride home and described a polished, Bible-quoting man later nicknamed Bible John. No charge ever stuck. [AD_BREAK:1] HOST: Case two: Tokyo's Setagaya ward, December 2000. The Miyazawa family was killed in their home. The intruder left blood, clothes, sand, even ice cream. Investigators built a genetic profile, but the name behind it is still missing. [SFX: confused murmur] HOST: Case three: Austin, 1991. Four girls at an I Can't Believe It's Yogurt shop were bound, shot, and left in a fire. Confessions collapsed. Convictions were overturned. DNA excluded the accused. [AD_BREAK:2] HOST: Three scenes. Three evidence trails. And maybe, sitting in a database tomorrow, one final match.
