On November 25, 1985, a grand wedding was held at the Los Angeles Church in the United States.
Suddenly, a woman in a wedding dress ran out of the taxi and slammed into the church in her high heels without an invitation.
The security guard at the door saw that the situation was not right and directly blocked her out of the door.
The woman was furious, and looked at herself in a terrible state, so she had to leave sadly.
The church is well insulated, the guests inside can't hear the outside sounds, and the wedding is not affected in any way.
The bride, who had been married for 3 months, was murdered in her home
At 6:30 p.m. on February 24, 1986, I received an urgent call from a middle-aged man, and the police and forensic doctor quickly arrived at the scene.
The person who called the police was John, who had just gotten married 3 months ago.
He sat on the floor of the living room holding a woman. The woman was John's new wife, Sydney, and appeared to be 1.8 meters tall.
The house was a mess: the table was crooked, the chair was upside down, the vase was broken.
In the middle of the living room is a quilt with three small holes on it, which smells of burning. A pool of blood coagulated on the floor.
Calming John's mood, the police began taking notes.
After John and Sydney got married, they moved to this villa together to live alone.
Because it is quieter in the suburbs, the villa has a large yard to raise flowers and grass, Sydney loves this new home.
The husband and wife are usually very busy at work.
John worked as an executive in a multinational company, and there were always endless meetings.
Sydney works as a head nurse at the best hospital in the city and leaves the house at 7 a.m. every morning.
The day of the crime was Monday, and Sydney took a leave of absence to rest at home because she had broken her foot on the mountain climb the day before.
After John had Sydney ready for lunch, he left for work at 8 a.m. as usual.
After going to the office to deal with the urgent work, John wanted to make a phone call home to comfort Sydney, but no one answered three times in a row.
The rest of the time was all meetings, and John couldn't find time to call Sydney.
Until 6 p.m., John couldn't finish packing up the materials on his desk and hurried home.
At the door of his garage, he found that the BMW car sydney usually drove was gone, and a large piece of glass debris was scattered on the ground.
John ran into the living room and found Sydney lying under the quilt and out of breath, so he braced himself and called the police.
The murderer became a mystery
After listening to John's story, the police and the forensic doctor walked back and forth in the house, inspecting over and over again, speculating again and again, but more than 2 hours later, no traces were found, and strangely even a small fingerprint of the murderer was not found.
Looking at three wounds in Sydney's chest, the police judged she was fatally shot by a .38 caliber pistol.
She had multiple marks of being smashed on her arms and a large bruise on her forehead.
In addition, there is a very conspicuous tooth mark on her left wrist.
From the living room to the room was disheveled, and the police thought the killer had rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find something. Just let John see what's missing.
John counted 3 times in a row, except that he and Sydney's marriage license could not be found, everything else in the house was there, not even cash and jewelry.
Why did I only take my marriage certificate? All the people felt strange.
Based on the circumstances at the scene, the police believe that there must have been a physical confrontation between Sydney and the murderer.
During the twist, Sydney's height was dominant, and she stretched out her left arm effortlessly to strangle the murderer's neck.
The murderer saw that the situation was not good, opened his mouth and bit Sydney's left wrist deadly.
Sydney was bitten so painfully that she had to loosen the killer's neck.
Who knows, as soon as the murderer turned around, he picked up the vase on the cabinet and smashed it at Sydney, while holding up a chair in his other hand to defend himself.
After all, Sydney was injured on her foot and did not move easily, and she was hit on the head if she could not dodge, she instinctively stretched out her arms to block the vase, but she did not expect that the murderer raised the chair and violently smashed it on her head, Sydney may be knocked unconscious, fall to the ground and no longer move.
The red-eyed murderer, in a fit of rage, wanted to put her to death, fearing that he would alarm the people outside, hurried to the room to drag a quilt, covered Sydney as a silencer device, and then pulled out a pistol and fired three shots at Sydney in a row.
Later, the murderer rummaged through the drawers, took Sydney and John's marriage certificate, and took Sydney's car keys from behind the door and went straight to the garage.
The car started too fast, the rearview mirror hit the garage door, and shards of glass fell to the ground.
John didn't care about the speculations, he just urged the police to find out the killer as soon as possible.
Before the forensic doctor left, he took a sample of the saliva from the tooth marks on Sydney's wrist and carefully packed it up and took it away.
A week later, police received a report from the public that there was a damaged BMW car in a mound outside Los Angeles.
It was confirmed that it was the car that Sydney had driven before he died, abandoned by the murderer in the suburbs.
Unfortunately, the police found nothing in the car, and the killer did not leave fingerprints.
It can be seen that the murderer has been wearing gloves during the crime.
Hearing the bad news of his daughter's murder, Sydney's father, Nathan, staggered to the ground and fell to the ground when he entered the door.
The 60-year-old man crawled on the ground, hands and feet crawling toward the place where his daughter was lying.
At a distance of just over 10 meters, he used all his strength to climb for several minutes.
He put Sydney's head in his arms and called out his daughter's name over and over again.
Seeing that his daughter had not agreed, he shook his hands into fists and smashed them into his head in turn.
Subsequently, the police station sent Officer Thomas to take charge of the case.
Thomas's process was the same, and the officers began to follow his instructions in three steps:
First, john was asked again about his time out and when he was home that day. John's colleagues and clients testified on his behalf, and he arrived at the company at 8:30 a.m. that morning and didn't leave the company's doors until after work at 6 a.m.
Besides, when the police arrived at the scene, they saw him frantically grabbing his hair with both hands and sticking his forehead into a chair, which made it impossible to doubt his true feelings for Sydney.
Second, visit the surrounding neighbors, unfortunately there is not a single witness. Only one neighbor who lived closest said that he had heard a strange noise that morning, and it disappeared not long after, and that he was too busy to take it seriously.
Third, according to Sydney's mobile phone address book, check her friends one by one. Sydney's friends are all salaried people and can prove that they are at work that day.
No clues were found in all aspects of the investigation.
Just as the case reached an impasse, Nathan, the father of the deceased, provided an important message:
When her daughter was more than 1 month after marriage, she called herself to mention John's ex-girlfriend, and at that time, she could hear that she was very aggrieved and sad.
Sydney said the situation was roughly like this: On weekend mornings, John went to the supermarket early to buy groceries and left Sydney at home to rest.
Not long after, Sydney heard the sound of the doorbell ringing, and she hurried up to open the door.
At the door stood a woman with sharp eyes.
She went straight into the living room without Sydney's consent, claiming to be John's girlfriend, Fanny.
Sydney listened a little flustered, and she stabilized her mood, saying that she was John's wife.
Fanny then sneered a few times, saying that no one but herself wanted john, and persuaded Sydney to get a divorce quickly.
Speaking of excitement, she reached over to pinch Sydney's neck, but the tall Sydney reached out and blocked her back.
Seeing that she did not have an advantage, Fanny left knowingly, and before going out, she said that if Sydney did not leave John, she would regret it one day.
When John returned, Sydney immediately told him about it.
John was very surprised to hear this, and promised Sydney that he and Fanny were just ordinary friends, and comforted Sydney not to be affected by this matter.
But to say that Fanny was a suspect, Officer Thomas would never believe it.
First of all, Fanny is the backbone elite of the police department, with quick thinking, sharp action, excellent case-handling ability, and deep respect from colleagues.
Being promoted to police officer after only 2 years of service is not something that ordinary people can do.
Secondly, Fanny is only 1.68 meters tall, and if there is a conflict, she is not Sydney's opponent at all.
Finally, there was one of the most important reasons, and that was that John was the first to stand up against it.
John said that he and Fanny had been friends for three years in college and knew her well as a person.
Fanny is calm, sane, clear-headed, and never does anything impulsive.
It's just that Fanny has a big grin on her personality and isn't the type John likes.
When the breakup, the two sides were also very calm and did not have any contradictions.
Six months after the breakup, John met the gentle and quiet Sydney at a friend's party, and the two fell in love at first sight.
John took the matter of Fanny going to the house to find Sydney very seriously, and he took the initiative to find Fanny the next day, indicating that he was a married person, and there was only Sydney in his heart, hoping that she would stop harassing his family.
At that time, Fanny also promised not to look for Sydney again, and this never happened again.
Nathan called the police station one after another to investigate Fanny and inquire about the progress of the case.
In Thomas's view, Nathan must have had something mentally wrong, the loss of his beloved daughter, the eagerness to find someone to pay for his life, this absurd idea is not difficult to understand.
Therefore, in the face of Nathan's repeated urging, although he agreed in words, he would not consider it at all in action.
In 1986, social order in Los Angeles was very chaotic, with an average of 2.5 homicides per day.
On the fifth day after Sydney's murder, just 2 kilometers from John's house, a burglary occurred.
The case was also taken by Thomas to the scene, the deceased was an old lady, the same gunshot wounds left on the body, but also by the .38 caliber pistol shooting fatal.
The killer was quickly arrested, a man in his 40s who truthfully confessed the whole process of his burglary.
Thomas believes that there is a certain correlation between the two cases, but the murderer only admitted to killing an old lady, not the second person.
Seeing the rampant criminals in the jurisdiction, the superiors put constant pressure on Thomas to quickly increase the crime rate and reduce the crime rate in the city.
With policies and countermeasures, Thomas shifted his energies to simple and easy cases.
Soon, he put Sydney's case together with the old lady's case, both of which were characterized as "burglary and murder cases."
In this way, Sydney's case is settled.
For John, this familiar city suddenly became a sad place, and he could not face the home he had lived in for only 3 months. At the advice of his parents, he quickly moved to Hawaii.
Sydney's father, Nathan, was furious at Thomas's hasty closure and kept questioning him.
However, Thomas's answer was perfunctory and later simply ignored.
Nathan couldn't swallow this breath, and in order to avenge his daughter's hatred, he called the police station every three to five minutes and asked them to re-investigate.
But Thomas either dragged or hid.
The murderer is nearby
In order to maintain its second position in the United States, Los Angeles has paid close attention to law and order in many departments, and the crime rate has decreased year by year.
In 2009, Thomas reached retirement age and was replaced by Andrew.
The new official took office with three fires. Andrew ordered that all the previously unsolved cases be turned over and try to see if there would be any new discoveries.
When turning to the information on the Sydney case, the words "tooth mark" caught the attention of the police officers. In those years, the use of DNA technology to solve crimes was popular.
As a result, a sample of saliva from Sydney's wrist, which had been kept in a freezer for 23 years, was taken out for the first time for testing.
The DNA test results completely overturned the judgment at the time of closing the case: the tooth mark on Sydney's left wrist was left by a woman, while the data at the end of the case in 1986 recorded that the murderer was a man.
Using the database for further comparison, the police identified 5 female suspects.
Through more accurate positioning, the police found a shocking secret: only one person matched the DNA on the tooth print, or the person next to everyone was very familiar with, that is, Fanny, a police officer in the police station's security section, and John's ex-girlfriend who Nathan had always advised Thomas to investigate.
Andrew was lost in thought, and he secretly went to investigate Fanny's use of the gun 23 years ago.
Police records don't lie, and a week after Sydney was killed, Fanny submitted a statement to the police department explaining that she had lost a .38-caliber pistol because of carelessness.
Apparently, Fanny was the killer of Sydney 23 years ago.
But how to convict her was a nerve-wracking thing for Andrew.
After all, 23 years have passed since this case.
Moreover, to say that Fanny had done such a hurtful thing, no one could believe it.
Fanny married Joseph 20 years ago, and together they raised an excellent daughter.
Fanny's family is recognized as a model family in the police station, and everyone admires her for running the family happily and sweetly.
Just three days ago, when she sent the information to the Criminal Investigation Section to sign, she heard everyone discussing Sydney's case, and she also took the initiative to join in to express her opinions.
When she left, she also joked that after so many years, I was afraid that the ashes of the murderer had long been blown away by the wind, causing the people in the office to laugh.
No one would believe that Fanny had anything to do with the murderer.
The case once again entered the situation of "no way out of doubt", and Andrew did not know where to start next.
At this time, John miraculously appeared in Los Angeles.
He has been living in Hawaii for 23 years and is still single, and has been probing the progress of the Sydney case.
John tells Andrew that Fanny regretted breaking up with him and had come to him several times to reconcile.
After learning the news of John's marriage, she also ran to the door of the church to make trouble, but fortunately John found a few people to guard the door in advance, and she could not enter.
Later, Fanny often came to his door around 7:30 a.m., stalking him when he went out to work, and even delusionally wanted John to divorce Sydney and then get a marriage license with her.
John thought that she would stop after a while, because he was worried that Sydney knew that it would affect the couple's feelings, so he kept it a secret from Sydney.
Fanny saw that John had a hard time changing her mind and decided to find a breakthrough from Sydney.
That weekend, she watched from a distance as John drove out and went into the house to threaten Sydney.
The next day, John took the initiative to ask her out, but unexpectedly, as soon as he met John, he would make a sharp accusation against her and warn that if such a thing happened again, he would not be polite to her.
John, who had sworn an oath to himself, was now cold, and Fanny was heartbroken.
But she was a stronger person, biting her lip and saying nothing, she decided that it was all caused by Sydney.
After that, Fanny never showed up at John's doorstep again.
John thought that even if the matter was settled, from then on the road to the sky, he and Fanny went their separate ways.
It wasn't until the DNA report on the tooth marks came out that John woke up and realized that Fanny was a fierce woman!
Kneeling in front of Nathan, John tearfully apologized, blaming himself for not handling the relationship well, not seeing Fanny's true face, and causing Sydney to take her life.
Nathan, who was still in the wind and candles, was full of vicissitudes and faltering.
He looked up and covered his face, saying that he had finally waited for the day.
The evidence was overwhelming, and Fanny confessed truthfully: she was determined to let John return to her side, and she made a careful plan and plan in advance to get rid of Sydney.
After Sydney left, Fanny went to approach John again, but she could not enter John's world in any way.
In order to dispel the panic in her heart, she accepted Joseph's fanatical pursuit, and after marrying Joseph was both considerate and tolerant, and the family seemed to be happy.
"How much suffering I have endured in 23 years, how much trepidation I have endured, only I know!" Fanny cried when she said this.
By law, Fanny was sentenced to 27 years in prison.
In prison, she wrote a long letter to her daughter, regretting that her narrow extremes had led to a lifetime of regrets.
What a bizarre case!
Just because of a tooth mark, the murderer who has been hidden by the police for 23 years was arrested.
With the change of the times, the network of science and technology sky is getting wider and wider, and even the cunning fox will have a day when its tail is exposed.
In addition to DNA technology, monitoring, positioning, chat records, call records, and even a dynamic in the circle of friends in daily life can become the basis for solving cases, so that bad people have nowhere to escape!
