Chapter 20: The Idaho Massacre
Ten hours after Melanie's disappearance......
Information from the Seattle Police Department, the FBI Crime Lab, and the Idaho FBI Branch Office was collected one after another into Lin Xiuyi's hands. The information was mixed, but luckily Seattle police found the van, which had been abandoned in the bushes on the side of the road, and the occupants of the van had disappeared. Unfortunately, the FBI crime lab only found traces of saliva on coffee cups. But the fingerprints on the cup were wiped off, and the FBI still couldn't rely on the fingerprints to confirm the true identity of the Green River killer.
The Idaho FBI sub-bureau notified the Seattle sub-bureau of three cases that were consistent with the modus operandi of the Green River Killers, and the three cases spanned more than a decade and did not attract the attention of the Idaho FBI until the Seattle sub-bureau informed the Green River Killers of the car they were driving, and the Idaho FBI did not know that the Green River Killers had settled in their jurisdiction.
The van was registered in the name of an Idaho resident named Rudy Anderson, and the Idaho F.B.I. has sent someone to investigate. More information will come a little later, and the Scene Search Bureau has just finished its investigation of Melanie's home, and is about to investigate the van that has just been discovered by Seattle police. Melanie's disappearance brought out a lot of clues at once, and the police investigation finally had a clear direction.
Kidnapping a ** soliciting on a striptease street may never be noticed. But it doesn't take long for someone to find out about kidnapping a woman with a fixed home. The United States is a society of indifferent family affection, even if it is a family member, it is usually very indifferent, and those ** who solicit customers on the strip street have no parents, relatives, friends, brothers and sisters. But if one day they go missing, and even their relatives don't care about their whereabouts, can they be expected to care for them if they don't have anything to do with them?
When Lin Xiuyi and Sean arrived at the Green River Killer's abandoned car site, it had been cordoned off by Seattle police. The FBI's Seattle Scene Search Section is still busy.
"What have you found?" Sean called Clark, the person in charge of the place, over and asked about the situation.
"A lot of evidence was found, but no fingerprints were found, a stun gun and some rope were found in the trunk, in addition to some fibers and hair on clothes. However, we found tire prints and a few footprints on another car not far from the car...... "Clark briefed Lin Shuichi and Sean on some of the findings at the scene. The Green River Killer didn't know why he was changing the car here, maybe it was the abnormal behavior of the police that alarmed him, after all, a large number of police officers and FBIs appeared on Mayflower Street just now, and it may not be so easy to hide from the eyes of the Green River Killer.
"Take us to see!" As soon as Clark finished introducing the situation, Lin Xiuyi couldn't wait to ask to see the evidence sorted out by the on-site search department.
"No problem, please follow me!" Clark asked his subordinates to find gloves and shoe covers for Lin Xiuyi and Sean. The two stepped on the passage paved with tarps by the Scene Search Division and walked into the place where tire tracks and footprints were found.
"Look, here it is, the footprints are messy, but there is a smaller footprint that seems to have been left by the victim Melanie. There are obvious trails of drag on the footprints......"
"THIS IS A LARGE-SIZE TIRE, RIGHT? THE WIDTH IS 225MM, AND IT IS A TIRE FOR A HEAVY-DUTY PICKUP TRUCK?" LIN XIUYI LOOKED AT THE TIRE TRACES AND CONSULTED CLARKE.
"You guessed it, this is indeed the tire used in the Ford F-Series pickup!" Clark replied affirmatively.
"Sean, ask for the assistance of the North District Police Department, ask if there are any traffic or surveillance cameras around, and find a way to find this car!" Lin Xiuyi stood up and commanded. Now is not the time to waste time, the Green River Killer is already in a mess, and Lin Xiuyi feels that he is about to catch this guy.
After saying goodbye to Clark, Lin Xiuyi and Sean are about to leave the scene here, and they are going to the North Precinct Police Department and Seattle Police to coordinate the pursuit of the Green River Killer, and tonight the Seattle Police and FBI will be covering the entire area until the Green River Killer is caught. Lin Xiuyi and Sean must increase their control efforts to always give the Green River Killer a strong oppression, prompting him to constantly make one mistake after another in a highly tense situation, as long as Lin Xiuyi seizes an opportunity, it will be when the Green River Killer is caught.
Lin Xiuyi was just about to get into the car, when he suddenly remembered something. So Lin Xiuyi hurriedly asked.
"Sean, is there any control on the interstate to Idaho?"
"It's been arranged, what's wrong Lin?"
"What about the waterway, is it possible for the suspect to bypass our checkpoint from the Green River?" Lin Xiuyi asked anxiously.
"Oh no," Sean replied in annoyance and horror.
"Contact the Seattle Police Department to see if we can send marine police and air forces to search the Green River Basin?" Lin Xiuyi immediately explained.
Sean didn't say a word and immediately coordinated with the Seattle police about the surface search, and at this moment, Lin Xiuyi's mobile phone suddenly rang. As soon as Lin Xi picked up his mobile phone, he saw that it was Director Musk who was calling.
"Lin, we were contacted by Idaho just now, and they told me that the situation in Rudy Anderson's house is terrible!"
Musk sat at his desk and glanced at the email he had just received from the FBI in Idaho. The email contained information that the Idaho FBI had found from Rudy Anderson's home. Most of them were unprocessed on-site survey photos, and the scene could really be described as horrible. When Musk was on the phone with Lin Xiuyi, he rubbed his temples vigorously to relieve the pressure.
"What did you find?" Lin Xiuyi asked curiously.
"The Idaho FBI found ...... at Rudy Anderson's home A male corpse that had turned into white bones was found, and ten ...... The bodies of thirteen women, whose bodies were soaked in a puddle in the basement, and the killer connected the wires in the water...... "Musk spoke intermittently, and what was now unfolding on his computer screen was a scene of hell on earth. The rotting female corpse was soaked in sewage, and Musk seemed to be able to smell the rancid smell through the screen.
"Sir, ask again, is that male corpse Rudy Anderson?" Lin Xiuyi gasped, and then asked cautiously.
"I'm afraid so......" Musk replied with a sigh.
