"How many of these cases still have the opportunity to re-autopsy the bodies of the deceased?" Rosie asked.

JJ looked at the information and replied, "At least 2 pieces of the process have not yet been completed, and the body should still be in the coroner's office. Belch. It is 3 pieces, and the body of one of the couples has not yet been claimed by relatives. ”

"Contact D· B. Russell, send the information and ask them to intervene and re-perform the autopsy, hoping to help us locate the murder weapon and, most importantly, determine whether the female victims had suffered a strong X before their death. ”

Rossi paused, then continued, "Don't let those vehicles go, although the report says that the dashcams are all damaged and the GPS data cannot be recovered. ”

"But I've been reading reports from these crime labs lately, and now we're able to roughly determine the location of the crime scene with trace physical analysis, which is very useful for us."

Jack looked up in surprise and glanced at the 60-year-old profiler, but he didn't expect that he was really not just talking before, he had been studying hard and understanding new things.

"These crashes are located on highways around Carson City, Lake Tahoe and Reno, which are heavily traveled, and it's ski season with seasonal workers."

As a local, Jack analyzes what he knows, having spent several years in California, and has heard of this tourist destination between the two states.

"That means there's a lot of potential victims to choose from."

"Judging from the victim's experience, whether it is a beating or an assault, it requires privacy and a long time to commit the crime. ”

"It shows that the murderer is a local, or owns a property in the local area, or lives in a long-term place." Emily also came up with her own ideas.

Although it was only a simple inference based on the information on paper, a general framework was quickly delineated.

A psychopathic strong X criminal, who specializes in targeting passing couples or couples, and later uses the big trucks on the highway at night to forge traffic accidents to cover up the evidence.

"How much does the local media know?" After listening to everyone's analysis, Rosie suddenly raised his head and asked JJ.

JJ shrugged, "The media didn't know about it, and as usual, it was reported as a traffic accident." ”

Emily understood in seconds, "This is our advantage, the murderer does not know that he has been exposed, so he lacks vigilance." ”

"Yes, JJ, you'll get in touch later."

Hodgner looked down at the information in his hand, "Sheriff Bruner, explain to him the importance of secrecy, if the suspect finds himself under investigation or attention, he may change his modus operandi, or go elsewhere to pick the victim to attack." ”

The briefing was not long, as information was still very limited, and the final arrangements were made by Hodchner.

"Let's go back early today to rest, and leave early tomorrow morning, the bureau has assigned us two cars, Jack and I drive one by one, everyone remember to bring enough warm clothes."

Because Nevada is right next door to California, there was no need for the Gulfstream Jet this time, and it was only a four-hour drive from Los Angeles.

Early the next morning, two brand-new Saab classes left Los Angeles one after the other and headed due north along Highway 1.

Reno City is located near Lake Tahoe, one of the most famous ski resorts in the United States, and the eastern stretch of the Sierra Nevada is just here, with dozens of ski resorts dotted around.

It's ski season, and at the peak of the year, you can see all kinds of motorhomes, large and small, and RVs running in the same direction, some with sled cars and even canoes on their roofs.

Many people know Las Vegas, but they don't necessarily know that Renault is the second largest casino in the United States after Las Vegas.

In the early 20th century, that is, in the 20-50s, divorce was still a disgraceful thing for beautiful people, maybe unimaginable for people today, but it was true at the time.

In order to revive the economy, the city of Reno changed its law in 1931 to allow a couple to divorce without any reason if they lived here for six weeks, and in a flash, thousands of beauties flocked to the small western town.

At its peak, people who came here for divorce filled up hotels, guesthouses, and even local farms, and some could not find a place to live, so they simply set up their own tents, preferring to suffer for a few weeks in exchange for the freedom of being single.

Renault also has a famous Virginia Street Bridge, which is a well-known attraction, and those newly divorced ladies had to stand on the bridge and throw their wedding rings into the river, so the Truckee River under the bridge has the nickname "Divorce River".

After all, no matter how big the Sabo class is, it can't spread out a table of mahjong, and it is early in the morning, no one needs to catch up on sleep in the car, and everyone is basically chatting about whether they have a match or not.

Around noon, two Saab buses drove into the local police station and were received by a gray-haired, middle-aged sergeant.

"I'm Bruner, and you're welcome."

"Hello, Sheriff Bruner, we were on the phone before, and these are my colleagues."

Lake Tahoe is a typical alpine lake, with an average altitude of nearly 2,000 meters around it, and it is winter, with an average temperature of nearly -10 degrees Celsius.

As the "diplomat" of the BAU group, JJ made presentations to each other.

"It's not a big place, but it should barely be enough."

Sheriff Bruner, who was not tall and thin, and gave people the first impression of being very lean, took the initiative to shake hands with the two obviously oldest of the group, Rosie and Hodchner.

It's a small local police station, a little bigger than the one in Margrave Town, but it's much shabby compared to the more developed city of Wilshire.

"All we need is a table and an evidence board."

Hodgner didn't care about any of this, and without his command, Red had already pushed over an evidence board next to him, pasted the photos he had rearranged into categories, and a whiteboard pen to write key information such as names and relationships on the side.

"Sheriff, if you don't mind, my crew wants to go to the scene and have a look." Rosie didn't talk much nonsense and made direct requests.

Sheriff Bruna looked appreciative of the BAU's resolute demeanor and nodded repeatedly.

"I'll arrange for the deputy sheriff to take you there right away."

"Oh, by the way, the people from the CSI Crime Lab in Las Vegas arrived early this morning, they are re-autopsiing the body, and some people are examining the wreckage of those vehicles, and they have preliminarily ruled out two cases, and it is confirmed that it was indeed a traffic accident."

"In other words, we now have a total of 4 cases that are linked."

Red, who was busy, nodded, took the information from Sheriff Bruner's hand, removed a few photos that were already on the evidence board, and hung a map of the surrounding area in the blank space.

Ask for a monthly pass, sprinkle and roll!
