What is the difference between the wife-killing case in Hangzhou and the wife-killing case in Connecticut?

The case of killing his wife in Hangzhou in July 2020 caused a sensation throughout the country. Xu Guoli directed and acted in front of the camera, and finally found out the truth with the efforts of the police. On August 6, 2020, Xu Guoli was arrested and the mysterious disappearance of his wife came to an end. In fact, a similar crime was staged once in the 1980s, this time in Connecticut.

198612 One day in early February, the police station in New Town, Connecticut, USA received an alarm call from a man named Richard, who claimed that his wife Helen had disappeared inexplicably, hoping that the police could help find it. Richard, a pilot of American Eastern Airlines, and his wife Helen are flight attendants of Pan Am. It usually takes one week to perform a flight.

After receiving Richard's report, the police quickly launched an investigation. According to the police investigation, the last time her husband Richard saw his wife was in the morning of 165438+ 10/9. According to Richard's description, Helen left in a hurry because she didn't even eat breakfast that day because she had to catch a plane.

When the police kept asking Richard Helen about her strange mood that day, Richard admitted that his wife was not very happy that day. Richard even suspected that Helen was having an affair, because he had accused his wife of taking care of the children more and not having much contact with men. Because Helen called California many times when she was on a business trip, the police searched the passenger list of all flights to California based on this clue, but still found nothing. Residents nearby also said that Helen had not been seen for a long time, so how did a tall stewardess with a height of 1 m 75 disappear quietly?

However, in the following investigation, the police found some unusual clues. According to Helen's colleague Lola, Helen was already preoccupied when she flew back to the United States from Germany on1October 818. Lola asked Helen what happened. Helen said that she suspected that her husband was having an affair and hired a private detective Mel to investigate. As a result, she found out that her husband was really having an affair, so she decided to divorce Richard this time. And at that time, Helen said strangely, if anything happened to her, don't doubt it was an accident, but stand up and ask for the truth.

This clue focused the police's attention on Richard. After many visits, the police confirmed what Lola said, because Helen had consulted the law firm for divorce many times in the previous month. At the same time, private investigator Mel also confirmed what Lola said.

The police turned the investigation of the case to Charlie. Starting with the people around Charlie, it turns out that this direction is right. Richard's nanny provided some powerful clues. According to the nanny's memory, the day after Helen disappeared, she once saw the carpet in the bedroom. There was a big dark red stain, but then the booth disappeared.

The clues provided by the nanny undoubtedly increased Richard's suspicion, and then the police investigated Charlie's file and found that Charlie was not simple. He once participated in a special operation of the Central Intelligence Agency. He is a specially trained former director of the CIA. In order to deal with Attorney General Charlie, he appointed Dr. Li Changyu, a famous criminal supervision expert in China, to investigate this bizarre disappearance.

Since it is suspected that Charlie killed his wife, it is necessary to find the body. There is no trace of the body in Richard's house. Dr. Li tried to find the one the nanny said. Dirty carpet. But I still couldn't find it, and then Dr. Li searched the land near Charlie's residence to see if there were any traces of being turned over. At the same time, a plane was sent to detect the heat energy emitted by the incubation process with infrared rays, but after many searches, it still failed.

Dr. Li quickly turned around and began to set up a road sign near Charlie's house, asking everyone who drove by if they saw any suspicious vehicles in 18 and 19. Many things happen. After half a day's obstruction, a driver with a snow shovel said that at about 3: 30 in the morning on the 20th, he was busy clearing the snow on the road and suddenly met a pickup truck with a wood chipper behind it.

Because the snow shovel was in the middle of the road, the truck driver angrily told him to get out and pointed his middle finger at him. It was snowing heavily at that time, and it was early in the morning. He wondered why someone would drag the wood chipper away so late.

After that, the police took out Charlie's photo for him to identify. The driver's affirmative answer was Charlie, because Charlie pointed his middle finger at him, so he remembered it clearly. With this clue, Dr. Li expanded the search scope along the route of the truck and soon found the wood chipper. It's just that the wood chipper has been cleaned up very clean at this time, while Dr. Li has a very strong consciousness at this time. People think that the key to Helen's disappearance may be Lake Joel. Because the wood chipper is likely to throw it away from 15 feet when discharging debris, in case of leaving evidence. Then Charlie will definitely choose the nearest lake to dispose of the body.

The investigation team began to investigate the melting of snow in eight lakes where wood chippers might be parked. After more than a week, archaeological investigators finally found Helen's suspected corpse tissue. Most of them are bones or teeth, confirmed by DNA comparison. These body tissues belong to Helen.

In the face of the evidence, Charlie still refused to plead guilty. However, under the hard evidence of science, the jury found Charlie guilty of murder and was finally sentenced to 50 years in prison.

Two criminal incidents in different time and space, similar criminal methods and processes, can not help but make people feel chilling, but fortunately, the perpetrators did not escape the punishment of the law and were punished as they should.
