Chapter 580 Naming and victim information of the three cases
Wednesday, 12:30 noon, a temporary office in Long Island, New York.
Hearing Luo An’s inquiry, Cheniel rummaged through a folder on her desk and explained:
"When the Long Island police were investigating information about a woman named Laura who was engaged in illegal work during her lifetime, they learned from her aunt that someone had used Laura's cell phone to call her aunt, probably after Laura's death. The fourth day.
The voice of the person who made the call had changed in tone. My aunt did not recognize the person at all and could only tell that the person on the phone was a man.
The content of the phone call was a man saying that he had become strong and killed Laura, and that Laura's struggle during her lifetime made him feel very interesting. "
“So arrogant?”
Lacie frowned:
“Didn’t Long Island police investigate the man behind this phone call?”
“Unfortunately, no.”
“Yili, female, 20 years old, was a figure worker during her lifetime.
However, this kind of thing is considered normal in the Federation. Luo An pondered for a while and said:
“Everyone, based on what Kovard’s forensic doctor just introduced, we have temporarily divided these 22 deceased people into three cases.
“OK!”
After Cheniel finished explaining, the expressions of several people present were not very good.
Selina, female, 20 years old, same as above.
Kate, female, 22 years old, same as above..."
Cleo, female, 19 years old, same as above.
They are the first [serial murder case of graphic workers], the second [serial murder case of being shot in the back of the head], and the third [serial murder case of being beaten to death with a stick in the back of the head].”
Michelle, go to the Behavioral Analysis Unit-BAU and ask two experts to come here to help. Let them do a simulation portrait and psychological analysis of the murderer behind the two serial murders. "
Chenelle closed the folder and spread her hands:
“Long Island police simply recorded the incident and went on to investigate other cases.
The victim Laura was engaged in illegal work during her lifetime. Her parents had died long ago, and her only relative was this aunt.
Charles, male, 21 years old, no occupation found.
It didn’t take long for Chenille, Mona, Winslow, and Lacey to get back the information about the new victims.
Laura, female, 25 years old, same as above.
Luo An wrote the names of the three cases on the whiteboard in the conference room, and then said:
All the agents responded in unison and filed out of the conference room. Luo An looked at the information on the whiteboard and put his hand on his chin, lost in thought.
Luo An posted the photos of the 22 victims on different whiteboards in three groups according to the different ways of death introduced by the medical examiner.
But my aunt’s living standard is average, even a little poor, and her relationship with Laura is almost non-existent, so my aunt did not ask the Long Island police to investigate later..."
"no problem!"
“Chenelle, Mona, Winslow, Lacey, together with the Trace Inspection Section, you will investigate and get back all the information of the 22 victims and briefly organize it.
There were 12 victims in the first group who had injuries to their throat bones and died as a result of suffocation. Except for the guy named Charles, who was male, the characteristics of the other 11 victims were very conspicuous, that is, they were all young and beautiful girls engaged in underground work.
“So, the murderer of the first serial murder case was a guy who specialized in targeting police workers.”
After looking at the photos and the victim’s information, the detectives quickly came to this conclusion.
But there is a problem Winslow doesn’t quite understand:
"This man named Charles...what's going on with him?"
Lacie put forward her own guess:
“Is the murderer a **** man?”
“No, I feel that the murderer may have made a mistake.”
Roan shook his head and found the photo of Charles when his body was first discovered:
“When Charles died, he was wearing women’s clothing and had makeup on his face.
In addition, Charles's appearance is somewhat neutral. If the murderer committed the murder at night and the lights are dim, there is a high possibility of misunderstanding. "
Taking Charles's photo and looking at it, Lacey twitched the corner of her mouth and nodded to accept Luo An's guess.
Mona next to her turned her gaze to the second whiteboard, frowned, and asked:
“Then these victims don’t seem to have anything in common?”
The second whiteboard shows the eight victims who died from gunshot wounds to the back of the head.
The earliest person to die was named James, male, 30 years old, unable to find a job.
Then there is Mandy, female, 26 years old, unable to find a job. Jerome, male, 18 years old, unable to find a job.
Hazel, female, 40 years old, works in a laundry.
Hayes, male, 31 years old, unable to find a job.
Piderou, male, 24 years old, works in a supermarket.
Emily, female, 22 years old, works in a restaurant.
Effren, male, 37 years old, unable to find a job.
“Mona is right.”
Looking at the information about the eight victims, Winslow also frowned:
“These people have different genders, different jobs, and different colors of skin, hair, eyeballs, etc.
Other than the same way of death, there seems to be nothing in common. "
Luo An crossed his arms over his chest, looked at the photos on the whiteboard and pondered for a while, then said:
“The possibility that a serial killer kills randomly and aimlessly is very low. These eight victims must have something in common, but we haven’t found it yet.”
Mona asked:
“Then what do we do next?”
Investigating a case means sifting through a lot of complicated information.
“We currently don’t have enough information about the second serial murder case. The first thing we need to do is to investigate and accumulate information about the eight victims.”
Luo An threw the whiteboard pen aside, then looked at the third whiteboard and said:
“However, the above two serial murder cases can be put aside for now.
Let us investigate first, the last one [a homicide case of being beaten to death with a stick on the back of the head]. "
Luo An chose to investigate the last case first for two main reasons.
First, the death time of the two victims was 4 months ago, which was much shorter than the previous two cases that spanned more than ten years.
Second, serial murder cases are difficult to handle, and the investigation will definitely take a long time. Dealing with the [murder case of being beaten to death with a stick on the back of the head] first can prevent some clues and information from disappearing or being erased during this period.
"clear!"
All the opponents understood what Luo An was thinking and nodded in agreement. Luo An did not waste any nonsense and asked directly:
“What’s the information about the last two victims?”
“It’s much simpler than the previous victims, I’ve found it out.”
Mona typed on the keyboard a few times and introduced:
“The two victims who were beaten to death with sticks on the back of the head were a man and a woman.
The female name is Hannah, she is 20 years old and a student at a university in New York.
The FBI's internal database shows that Hannah's mother called the police shortly after she disappeared, but there were no leads until her body was found.
The male’s name is Bloom, he is 43 years old and is a rapist. "
“Body snatcher?!”
Hearing this word, everyone present was a little surprised. Lacey asked:
“How could a female college student die together with a **** offender?”
“This is the truth we want to investigate.”
Luo An patted Lacey on the shoulder, then looked at Mona and said:
“Tell me a little about Bloom.”
“Bloom, 43, was accused of multiple **** offenses during his lifetime.”
Mona retrieved the man's information, put it in front of everyone, and introduced:
“However, he almost went to jail many times due to various reasons such as the rookie police officers acting in advance to conduct illegal searches, which resulted in the evidence being suppressed by the defense lawyers, and the reluctance of some murdered women to testify in court.”
“Fu-k!”
Looking at the photo of Bloom with his head and eyes looking very proud in the case record, Lacey cursed in a low voice, and Luo An pondered for a moment and ordered:
“Chenelle, Mona, go investigate the phone call made by the murderer in the first serial murder case and see if the relatives or friends of the other 11 victims have received similar calls.
Winslow, when Michelle comes back later, you and her will investigate the identity information of the eight victims in the second serial murder case, focusing on investigation and sorting out. "
The four of them nodded in unison, and Lacey asked:
"And me?"
“You and I, we need to tell the news about Hannah to her mother who has been waiting for four months.”
