Ngosuku olupholile ngoMashi 2016, uSteven Allwine wangena eWendy's eMinneapolis. Enuka iphunga lamafutha okupheka akudala, wabheka indoda egqoke i-jean emnyama nejakhethi eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. U-Allwine, obesebenza edeskini losizo le-IT, ubeyingcweti enezibuko zocingo. Wayephethe ukheshi ongu-$6000 XNUMX, awuqoqa ngokuthatha izinsimbi zesiliva nezinhlamvu zemali aye esitolo sokudayisa ukuze agweme izinsolo ngokukhipha imali ebhange lakhe. Wathola umuntu ofanele kwelinye lamadokodo.
Bavumelana ukuhlangana esizeni LocalBitcoins, lapho abantu abafuna ukuthenga noma ukuthengisa cryptocurrency ukubutha eduze nendawo yabo yokuhlala. U-Allwine uvule uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Bitcoin Wallet ocingweni lwakhe futhi wanikeza ukheshi, kuyilapho umuntu eskena ikhodi ye-QR ukuze adlulisele ama-bitcoins. Umsebenzi udlule ngaphandle kwezinkinga. U-Allwine ube esebuyela emotweni wathola ukuthi izikhiye bezishiywe ngaphakathi nesicabha sikhiyiwe.
Kwakuwusuku lwakhe lokuzalwa, wayeneminyaka engu-43 ubudala, futhi wayehlelelwe ukuhlangana noMichelle Woodard ukuze adle isidlo sasemini. U-Allwine wahlangana no-Woodard ku-inthanethi ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule. Ubudlelwano bakhula ngokushesha, isikhathi esithile bashintshana ngenqwaba yemiyalezo nsuku zonke. Kusukela lapho, uthando lwabo luye lwaphela, kodwa ngezinye izikhathi babelala ndawonye. Esalinde umkhandi wezikhiye, wamthumelela umyalezo wokuthi usemhlanganweni uzothenga ama-bitcoins futhi uphuzile. Lapho umnyango uvulwa, wakwazi ukuhlangana no-Woodard endaweni ehlangene yama-burger ebizwa ngokuthi i-Blue Door Pub, ehlose ukujabulela usuku lonke.
Ngalobo busuku wazinika esinye isipho. Ukusebenzisa ikheli le-imeyili [i-imeyili ivikelwe] wabhalela umuntu oyedwa ayemazi ngaphansi kwegama elithi Yura. "Nginama-bitcoins," esho.
U-Yura uphathe iwebhusayithi ye-Besa Mafia, esebenze kuyo futhi ibitholakala kuphela ngeziphequluli ezingaziwa njenge-Tor. Ngezinjongo zika-Oelwein, bekubalulekile ukuthi iBesa Mafia, ngokusho kwesitatimende sayo, ixhumane ne-Albania mafia futhi ikhangise ngezinkonzo zabashayi. Ikhasi lasekhaya lale sayithi linesithombe sendoda ephethe isibhamu kanye nesiqubulo sokumaketha esithi: "Uma udinga ukubulala umuntu noma ukumshaya kahle, ufikile endaweni efanele."
U-Yura uthembise ukuthi imali yomsebenzisi igcinwa ku-akhawunti ye-escrow futhi ikhokhwa kuphela lapho umsebenzi usuphelile. Nokho, u-Allwine wayekhathazekile ngokuthi uma ethumela imali, izovele iphelele esikhwameni somunye umuntu. Kodwa wayefuna ukuthi izitatimende zikaYura zibe yiqiniso, ngakho-ke, naphezu kwemvelo yakhe, wadlulisela ama-bitcoins. "Bathi i-Besa isho ukwethembana, ngakho-ke ngicela uphile ngokuvumelana nayo," ebhalela u-Yura. "Ngenxa yezizathu zomuntu siqu, incazelo yayo ezoveza ukuthi ngingubani, ngidinga ukufa kwalesi silwane."
"Leya nondindwa" kwakungu-Amy Allwine, umkakhe.
UStephen no-Amy Allwine bahlangana eminyakeni engama-24 ngaphambili e-Ambassador University, isikole sezenkolo eBig Sandy, eTexas. UStephen wafika onyakeni wakhe wokuqala neqembu labangane bakhe, intsha engokwenkolo yaseSpokane (Washington). U-Amy wayengowaseMinnesota futhi wayengazi abantu abaningi esikoleni. Ngokushesha waba umngane namaWashingtonians. Wayenombono omuhle futhi kulula ukukhuluma naye, futhi yena noStephen baqala ukudansa njalo—umsebenzi owawubasondeza, kodwa hhayi kakhulu. Ayengamalungu e-Worldwide Church of God, eyayikhuthaza iSabatha eliqinile ngeMigqibelo, enqaba amaholide obuqaba njengoKhisimusi, futhi emelene nokuthintana kakhulu ngokomzimba endaweni yokudansa.
Ngo-1995, lapho beseseyunivesithi, i-United Church of God yahlukana ne-Worldwide Church of God. UStephen no-Amy bajoyina ihlelo elisha elalisebenzisa i-Internet ukuze basakaze izimfundiso zabo. KuStephen, owayenothando lwesayensi yekhompiyutha, kwakuyisinqumo esinengqondo.
Ngemva kwekolishi, bashada futhi bathuthela eMinnesota ukuze babe seduze nomndeni ka-Amy. U-Amy wayekwazi ukulawula izilwane zasendle kakhulu futhi wafundisa esikoleni sokuqeqesha izinja iminyaka eminingana ngaphambi kokuqala ibhizinisi lakhe, i-Active Dog Sports Training. Lo mbhangqwana wathatha indodana yawo yokutholwa wayiletha ekhaya inezinsuku ezimbalwa nje ubudala, okwathi ngo-2011 bathuthela endlini e-Cottage Grove, eMinnesota, okuyindawo yabalimi nabantu ababesebenza kwenye indawo, e-Mississippi. Valley eduze nedolobha laseMinneapolis-Saint Paul. U-Amy waguqula inqolobane enkulu kule ndawo yaba inkundla yokuqeqesha izinja, futhi ngokushesha ikhaya labo laphenduka isiphithiphithi, nezinwele zenja yaseNewfoundland nase-Australian Cattle yase-Australia emboze ifenisha kanye namaphrojekthi ambalwa e-Lego aseqedwe uhhafu ekhishini.
Ngaphandle yonke into yayibukeka ijwayelekile. UStephen wenyukela esikhundleni sokuba umdala e-United Church of God, futhi u-Amy waba idikoni. Isonto lalilandela ikhalenda lesiHebheru, futhi ngoLwesihlanu umkhaya wawudla nabazali baka-Amy, uStephen ayebabiza ngokuthi uMama noBaba. Ngemigqibelo baya ezinkonzweni. Minyaka yonke babehambela umkhosi wokuwa kwebandla ezindaweni ezitshiyeneyo emhlabeni jikelele. Ibhizinisi lika-Amy lakhula futhi wayevame ukuzungeza izwe nabangane behambela imiqhudelwano yezinja. Ngesikhathi sawo samahhala, umndeni wawugcina isayithi ethi Allwine.net, lapho, ngokwesibonelo, umuntu engathola khona uhlu lwezingoma ezifanele namavidiyo omdanso okufundisa abonisa indlela yokuzijabulisa ngaphandle kokuthinta umlingani wakho kakhulu. Kwividiyo eyodwa, u-Amy ubonakala egqoke ibhulukwe elikhaki namabhuzu okugibela izintaba, kuyilapho uSteven egqoke ihembe le-polo kanye ne-jean exegayo, futhi umbhangqwana udansela ingoma ethi "Sihamba Ndawonye."
Ngosuku olungemva kokuthenga ama-bitcoins, uStephen walayisha isithombe sika-Amy ku-Allwine.net. Isithombe sithathwe ngenkathi eseholidini e-Hawaii futhi sibonisa u-Amy egqoke isikibha esiluhlaza nokuluhlaza kanye nokumamatheka okubanzi ebusweni bakhe obushukiwe, obunamachaphaza. Cishe imizuzu engama-25 ngemuva kokuthumela isithombe, uStephen ungene ku-imeyili yakhe ye-dogdaygod ukuthumela isixhumanisi sika-Yura. "Ukuphakama kwakhe kungaphansi kwe-1 m 70 cm, isisindo 91 kg," wabhala. Ucacise ukuthi isikhathi esingcono kakhulu sokumbulala kuzoba phakathi nohambo oluzayo oluya eMoulin, e-Illinois. Uma umbulali ekwazile ukwenza ukufa kwakhe kubukeke njengengozi - ake sithi, egibela iveni lakhe iToyota Sienna ohlangothini lomshayeli - uzokwengeza amanye ama-bitcoins.
U-Yura uqinisekise imininingwane yesivumelwano ngemuva nje kwencwadi, esebenzisa isiNgisi esiphukile. “Uzomlinda esikhumulweni sezindiza, amlandele ngemoto eyebiwe, uma kuvela ithuba abangele ingozi ebulalayo.” Wengeze ngokuthi uma ingozi yehluleka, “umbulali uzomdubula.” Kamuva wakhumbuza unkulunkulu we-dogdaygod ngesidingo sokuzenzela i-alibi: “Qiniseka ukuthi uzungezwe abantu isikhathi esiningi, uchithe isikhathi ezitolo noma kwezinye izindawo zomphakathi lapho okubhekwa khona ama-video.”
USteven ubengajwayele ukuzungezwa ngabantu. Yena no-Amy babehlala endaweni engamahekthare angu-11 esemgwaqweni ongasemuva. Indlu yayiyisakhiwo esilula esinesitezi esisodwa esiphathwayo esibekwe phezu kwesisekelo. Yayinamagumbi okulala amane, igumbi lokuphumula elikhulu nekhishi elivulekile. UStephen wayefake ama-solar ophahleni futhi waqhosha ngokuthi amnika amandla amaningi kangangokuthi angawampompa abuyele egridi. Uchithe isikhathi sakhe esiningi ehhovisi lakhe egumbini elingaphansi, elungisa amaphutha ohlelweni lwesikhungo sezingcingo. Ekhaya, wakwazi ukusebenza imisebenzi emibili ngesikhathi esisodwa - omunye enkampanini yezinsizakalo ze-IT i-Optanix, omunye enkampanini yomshwalense i-Cigna. Izisebenzi zazivame ukuphendukela kuye ngezinkinga ezinzima kakhulu.
Umfundisi wakwa-Allwins waya koshumayela ukuzithiba ezifisweni zenyama, futhi uStephen ngokwakhe weluleka imibhangqwana yebandla lakubo eyayinezinkinga zomshado. Kodwa-ke, lapho eshiywe yedwa, wazivumela ukuba aphuphe, futhi wavakashela amasayithi afana ne-Naughtydates.com ne-LonelyMILFs.com. Wathatha isikhatshana kuwebhusayithi evaliwe i-Backpage futhi waya e-Iowa kabili ukuze enze ucansi naye. Phakathi nenqubo yokubonisana, wafunda mayelana nesayithi lokuthandana , okuhloselwe abantu abashadile. Lapho wahlangana noMichelle Woodard.
Ngosuku lwabo lokuqala, uStephen wahamba no-Woodard ekuqokweni kwakhe udokotela. Kwaphela amasonto ambalwa ehamba naye ohambweni lomsebenzi. UWooward uyithandile indlela uStephen ayezole ngayo ngendlela engavamile. Ngolunye usuku indiza yabo exhumayo esuka ePhiladelphia yakhanselwa. UStephen wayene-aphoyintimenti ngo-8 ekuseni eHatford, Connecticut, futhi ngaphandle kokuxabana, waqasha imoto ababehamba ngayo amakhilomitha angu-130 asele.
Inyanga ngaphambi kokuba uStephen ayale umkakhe, watshela u-Woodard ukuthi uzozama ukulungisa ubuhlobo bakhe no-Amy. Eqinisweni, ukujola kwakhe kwakhulisa isifiso sakhe sempilo entsha.
Ngokombono, ngesiyalo sakhe nolwazi lwamakhompiyutha, uStephen wayeyisigebengu esiphelele sewebhu emnyama. Wahlanganisa amathrekhi akhe esebenzisa ama-imeyili angaziwa, asusa ulwazi oluhlonzayo emilayezweni, kanye ne-Tor, evala amakheli e-IP ngokudlulisa idatha ngendlela engahleliwe ngokusebenzisa inethiwekhi yama-node angaziwa. Waqhamuka ne-backstory enemininingwane: okuthiwa u-dogdaygod wayengumqeqeshi wezinja oyimbangi owayefuna ukubulala u-Amy ngoba elele nomyeni wakhe. Ukuze adale ubunikazi bakhe obubonakalayo kuwebhu emnyama, wadlulisela ukungathembeki kwakhe kumkakhe.
Amalungu e-United Church of God ahlangana esontweni lendawo laseWeseli
UStephen wahlela ukubulala ngempelasonto kaMashi 19, lapho u-Amy wayezokuba seMawlin emqhudelwaneni wokuqeqesha izinja. Kodwa ekupheleni kwempelasonto, wabhala u-Yura incwadi ekhononda ngokuthi ubengakazitholi izindaba ngokufa kwakhe. U-Yura wachaza ukuthi umbulali ubengakalisebenzisi leli thuba: “Kudingeka ahlele yonke into ngendlela yokuthi ashayise imoto yakhe ohlangothini lomshayeli, ashayisane ukuze aqinisekise ukufa.” Umlawuli we-Besa Mafia wabonakala eqonda ukuthi kwakubalulekile kunkulunkulu we-dogdaygod ukuthi u-Amy abulawe emgwaqeni. “Asinandaba nokuthi kungani abantu bebulawa,” ebhala. “Kodwa uma engumkakho noma eyilungu lomndeni, singakwenza lokhu edolobheni lakho,” kusho yena, wengeza ngokuthi ikhasimende lingaphuma edolobheni ngosuku olumisiwe. Wacela ukubulala u-Amy ekhaya futhi wavuma ukuthi ngemva kwalokho angashisa indlu ukuze athole ama-bitcoins angu-10 engeziwe, noma amaRandi angu-4100 XNUMX.
“Hhayi umkami,” kuphendula uStephen, “kodwa ngafikelwa umcabango ofanayo.” Ngakusasa waqoqa imali. Lapho ethumela ama-bitcoins ku-Besa Mafia, ikhasi livuselelwe futhi akazange aqaphele ikhodi yezinhlamvu ezingu-34 evele. Ethukile, wakhathazeka ngokuthi imali ye-cryptocurrency ayesebenze kanzima ukuze ayithole izonyamalala ngaphandle komkhondo. Ngokushesha wakopisha ikhodi futhi wayigcina kumanothi ku-iPhone yakhe, wabe esethumela ikhodi ku-Yura nge-imeyili enesihloko esithi “SIZO!” Esikhathini esingaphansi komzuzu, wayisusa ikhodi kumanothi akhe.
Ngemva kwamahora ambalwa, u-Yura waphendula, eqinisekisa ukuthi ukuthengiselana kuphumelele, kodwa izinsuku zadlula futhi akwenzekanga lutho. Emasontweni alandelayo, imilayezo kaStefanu eya ku-Yura yayisuka emifushane futhi edumazayo kuye kweziqondiso ezinemininingwane eminingi. “Ngiyazi ukuthi umyeni wakhe unogandaganda omkhulu, ngakho kumele abe namathini kagesi egaraji,” ebhala. "Kodwa msuse kuphela, ungathinti ubaba nengane." U-Yura, njengodeveli onobungane, uphendule ngemiyalezo eqinisa isimo sekhasimende. “Yebo, uyinja ngempela futhi ufanelwe wukufa,” ebhala. Ngemva kwehora nesigamu, wanezela: “Khumbula ukuthi amaphesenti angu-80 abantu bethu abahlaselwayo angamalungu amaqembu ezigelekeqe ahileleke ekushushumbiseni izidakamizwa, ashaya abantu, futhi ngezinye izikhathi abulale.” Ukuze uthole imali eyengeziwe, unkulunkulu we-dogdaygod angayala ukuba kubulawe umbulali onolwazi olunzulu - owayeyi-sniper yaseChechen.
UStephen wasebenzisa okungenani u-$12 ebhizinisini labashayi-mthetho. Wabhalisa kusizindalwazi esimnyama esibizwa ngeDream Market, esaziwa kakhulu ngokushushumbisa izidakamizwa, lapho ayengakhetha khona ezinye izindlela zokubulala. Umqondo ophusile wanquma ukuthi kufanele kube namagama abasebenzisi ahlukene, kodwa waphinde wasebenzisa igama elithi dogdaygod, njengokungathi wayesephenduke umlingisi wendalo yakhe siqu. Kwadingeka akhokhe izindleko zakhe: Inkokhelo ka-Amy yomshwalense yayingu-$000.
Ngo-April 2016, cishe izinyanga ezimbili ngemva kokuba uStephen eyala umkakhe okokuqala, kanye nokuxhumana kuka-Yura namakhasimende - okuhlanganisa ne-dogdaygod - kulayishwe ku-pastebin. Imininingwane iveze ukuthi abasebenzisi abaneziteketiso ezifana no-Killerman nethi kkkcolsia bakhokhelwe amashumi ezinkulungwane zamadola ku-Bitcoin ukuze babulale abantu e-Australia, Canada, Turkey nase-United States. Le miyalo yasheshe yafika kwa-FBI, futhi i-ejensi yathumela imiyalelo emahhovisi endawo ukuze axhumane nabasolwa abayizisulu. Umenzeli Okhethekile we-FBI u-Asher Silkie, osebenza ehhovisi laseMinneapolis, uthole ukuthi othile ongaphansi kwegama elithi dogdaygod wayefuna u-Amy Allwine abulawe. Unikezwe umsebenzi wokumexwayisa ngosongo.
NgoLwesibili, ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho , uSilkie wacela usizo lukaTerry Raymond, iphoyisa lendawo, futhi bahamba ngemoto bekhuphukela endlini yase-Allwine. I-Cottage Grove iyindawo enokuthula yabantu abacebile, kodwa, njengakulo lonke izwe, amaphoyisa endawo ayelokhu ethola imibiko yezinsongo eziku-inthanethi. URaymond, indoda egodliwe enezici ezingama-angular ezigcizelelwa intshebe esikiwe, wasebenza njengephoyisa iminyaka engu-13 futhi wayenguchwepheshe wobugebengu bekhompyutha.
Lapho uSilkie noRaymond befika, uStephen Allwine wabangenisa. Watshela abomthetho ukuthi u-Amy akekho, futhi bama bathule ekamelweni ngesikhathi emshayela ucingo. UStephen wamshaya uRaymond njengomuntu owayezizwa ekhululekile lapho ephakathi kwabanye, kodwa akazange acabange kangako ngakho. Emsebenzini wakhe kwakumele abhekane nakho konke.
Amaphoyisa abuyela esiteshini, futhi ngokushesha u-Amy wafika. Bahlangana endaweni yokwamukela izivakashi, lapho kwakunomdwebo kawoyela wenja yenkonzo yomnyango, uBlitz, bamyisa egunjini lokuphenywa elinefenisha elincane. Njengoba i-FBI eyayiphethe uphenyo, uRaymond wayelalela kakhulu ngesikhathi uSilkie echazela u-Amy ukuthi othile owazi uhlelo lwakhe lokuhamba nemikhuba yansuku zonke wayefuna afe. U-Amy wamangala. Wadideka nakakhulu lapho uSilkie ekhuluma ngezinsolo zokuthi u-Amy wayelala nomyeni walo mqeqeshi. Wayengaqondi ukuthi ubani owayengamthatha njengesitha. “Uma ubona okuthile okusolisayo, sishayele,” kusho uRaymond kuye ngesikhathi behlukana.
Emasontweni ambalwa kamuva, abakwa-Oelweins bafaka isimiso sokugada amavidiyo anyakazayo emzini wabo futhi babeka amakhamera ezindaweni zokungena ezihlukahlukene. UStephen uthenge isibhamu, i-Springfield XDS 9mm. Yena no-Amy banquma ukumgcina eceleni kombhede futhi baya endaweni yokudutshulwa njengosuku.
Amaphoyisa ase-Cottage Grove, kusukela kwesobunxele: Okaputeni uGwen Martin noRande McAlister, Abaseshi uTerry Raymond noJared Landkamer
NgoJulayi 31, u-Amy washayela uSilkie ucingo edangele: wayethole izinsongo ezimbili ze-imeyili engaziwa evikini eledlule. USilkie wafika endlini yakwa-Allwine, lapho uStephen ephrinte khona ama-imeyili futhi walalela njengoba u-Amy echazela ama-agent ngokwenzekile.
Incwadi yokuqala yavela kumthumeli ongaziwa ovela e-Austria. Ikakhulukazi, kwakukhona okulandelayo:
Amy, ngisakusola ngokumosha impilo yami. Ngiyabona ukuthi ufake isistimu yezokuphepha, futhi abantu ku-inthanethi bangitshele ukuthi amaphoyisa ayenesithakazelo ezincwadini zami zangaphambili. Ngaqinisekiswa ukuthi lezi zincwadi zazingenakulandelwa nokuthi ngangingeke ngitholakale, kodwa ngangingeke ngikwazi ukukuhlasela ngokuqondile ngesikhathi ulandelwa.
Nakhu okwenzekayo ngokulandelayo. Njengoba ngingakwazi ukufika kuwe, ngizofinyelela kukho konke okuthanda kakhulu.
I-imeyili ifakwe ohlwini lwemininingwane yokuxhumana yezihlobo zika-Amy ngokusekelwe olwazini olutholakala kuwebhusayithi i-Radaris.com, ehlinzeka ababhalisile ngolwazi lokuxhumana lwabantu ngabanye nezinhlangano. Umbhali uphinde waveza imininingwane eyaziwa kuphela yilabo abasondelene no-Amy - indawo yemitha yegesi endlini yase-Allwine, iqiniso lokuthi bashintsha indawo ababepake kuyo i-SUV yabo, umbala wesikibha indodana yabo eyayisigqokile ezimbili. ezinsukwini ezedlule. “Nansi indlela ongawusindisa ngayo umkhaya wakho,” kusho incwadi. “Zibulale.” Umbhali uphinde wabala izindlela ezahlukene ezifanele.
Ngemva kwesonto, kwafika incwadi yesibili engaziwa, imthethisa ngokungalandeli izincomo. “Ngabe nizicabangela nina ngempela kangangokuthi nizimisele ukubeka imikhaya yenu engozini?”
U-Amy wanika amaphoyisa ikhompuyutha yakhe, enethemba lokuthi ekuqukethe kuzosiza ama-agent ukuthi athole umbulali wakhe. UStephen unikeze abenzeli ilaptop yakhe kanye ne-smartphone. I-FBI yenza amakhophi wamadivayisi, okuhlanganisa izinhlelo zokusebenza, izinqubo namafayela, futhi yawabuyisela ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kamuva.
U-Amy wanika uSilkie amagama abantu ababeqeqeshwa enkundleni yakhe, abanikazi bezilwane ayesebenza nabo, umngane wakhe omkhulu. I-ejenti ixoxisane nabane babo futhi yabuyekeza umlando wezikweletu wabaningana babo. Bambalwa abantu abazuza ekufeni kuka-Amy, kodwa njengoba u-dogdaygod wakhokha izinkulungwane ezimbalwa zamaRandi ukuze ambulale, kwakunezisusa zomuntu siqu ezazihilelekile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ikhasimende lanikeza u-Yura imiyalelo yokungabulali umyeni wakhe. Ngenxa yalokho, kwaba nengqondo ukuphenya umngane womshado. USilkie wabuza uSteven, kodwa akucaci ukuthi kukhona yini akwenzile ngaphezu kwalokho kanye nekhophi yekhompyutha yakhe nocingo. I-FBI yenqabile ukuphawula ngaleli cala, kanti amaphoyisa aseCottage Grove abenokuzwisisa okuncane ngokusebenza kwehhovisi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuze athathe uRaymond ahambe naye ekuphenyweni kokuqala futhi amthumelele amakhophi ama-imeyili asongelayo, ihhovisi alibange lisawabandakanya amaphoyisa endawo.
Phakathi naleso sikhathi, u-Amy wazama ukubhekana nezinsongo ezinzima. Wabhalisa esifundweni seCitizens Academy, lapho izakhamizi zifundiswa kabanzi ngomsebenzi womnyango wamaphoyisa. Esitatimendeni sakhe, ubhale ukuthi “ufuna ukufunda ngomnyango wamaphoyisa, ukuthi benzani nokuthi izinto zisebenza kanjani.” Usayitsheni uGwen Martin, umholi wesifundo, wayengazi ngezinsongo zokubulawa kuka-Amy, futhi u-Amy ngokwakhe akazange abelane ngakho nanoma yimuphi omunye wabahlanganyeli ngenkathi bezilolongela endaweni yokudubula futhi ethatha izigxivizo zeminwe ethini elinesoda. U-Amy ucele ukuthi anikezwe isikhulu se-K-9 [esebenza nezinja zesevisi; ngokuvumelana ne-consonance ye-K-9 / canine - canine / approx. transl.] ekuzuleni kwakhe, futhi wakhuluma ngesasasa elikhulu ngendlela iphoyisa elahlanganyela ngayo neseluleko sakhe ngokufuya izinja nokuqeqeshwa ukucosha iphunga. Ekupheleni kohlelo, wagubha nalo lonke iqembu ngephathi encane.
Nokho, u-Amy wayesazizwa engenakuzisiza. Ukuphathwa yikhanda ngezikhathi ezithile kwanda, futhi waqala ukuba nezinkinga zenkumbulo. Ngesikhathi efundisa wayeziphatha ngokuzethemba, kodwa wayekhathazekile ngokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi umhlukumezi wakhe uphakathi kwabafundi bakhe.
Ngobunye ubusuku ehlobo, wayehlezi egcekeni nodadewabo futhi wacabanga ukuthi ubani owayebangele isimo esimnyama esasigubuzele ukuphila kwakhe. Eminyakeni edlule, lapho udadewabo eqala ekolishi, u-Amy wayemthumelela amakhadi masonto onke ukuze angakhumbuli ekhaya. Manje udadewabo, njengesenzo esivumelanayo, wenza okufanayo, futhi wacaphuna iBhayibheli ekhadini ngalinye.
Ngomunye uMgqibelo ntambama ngoNovemba, uStephen no-Amy baya esontweni nendodana yabo. Umgwaqo wawudabula endaweni enezikhukhula empumalanga yeMississippi, udabula amasimu aphuzi, izindawo ezigcwele izingxenye zezimoto nemigodi egcwele izihlahla esezilahlekelwe amaqabunga. I-United Church of God yaqasha indawo esakhiweni sezitini ezibomvu ebandleni lendawo lamaWeseli. Kwakukhona okuthile okufanele okwamanje ku-asceticism yendawo ezungezile, njengokungathi i-minimalism yezakhiwo iyodwa ingabamba udeveli.
Ethempelini, umndeni wawuhlezi namadoda agqoke amajakhethi, abesifazane abagqoke izingubo ezihloniphekile kanye nezingane ezinezinwele ezisanda kukanywa. Umfundisi uBrian Shaw, emi ngaphansi kokukhanya kwasemini egeleza ophahleni lwengilazi, washo isixwayiso seTestamente Elisha ngabantu “abanamehlo agcwele inkanuko nesono esiqhubekayo.” Wakhuluma ngoJobe eziqeqeshela ukuthi angabuki abantu besifazane ngenkanuko. Isijeziso sokungalandeli isibonelo sikaJobe sinzima: "Uma singayilawuli imvelo yethu yesono, iyasilawula."
NgeSonto, uStephen wavuka ngaphambi kuka-6 ekuseni njengenjwayelo futhi wehlela ehhovisi lakhe egumbini elingaphansi, lapho angena khona ku-Optanix ukuze aqale umsebenzi. Emini wakhuphukela endlini ephezulu ukuze ayodla isidlo sasemini no-Amy nendodana yakhe. U-Amy, njengoba ethanda ukupheka, ubhake elinye ithanga elalisele kuphudingi alenze ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule esiphekweni esinensayo. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, wazizwa ephelelwa amandla futhi enesiyezi.
Ubaba ka-Amy weza kuye ezofaka umnyango wenja egalaji. UStephen wamtshela ukuthi u-Amy akaphilile futhi uphumule ekamelweni. Uyise wahamba engambonanga. Ngemva kwemizuzu emihlanu ehambile, uStephen wambiza wamcela ukuba abuye azolanda umzukulu wakhe, njengoba kusolakala ukuthi wayefuna ukusa u-Amy emtholampilo.
Lapho ilanga lishona, uStephen wahamba wayolanda uphethiloli, wathatha umfana kubazali bomkakhe, wamyisa endaweni yokudlela yomndeni wakwaCulvers. Kwakuyisiko labo langeSonto ukuba nesidlo sakusihlwa eCulvers kuyilapho u-Amy efundisa ukuqeqeshwa kwezinja. Bahlezi ekamelweni elikhanyayo, bedla inyama yenkukhu noshizi obhemayo.
Lapho ebuyela ekhaya, umfana wagxuma waphuma emotweni wagijima wangena endlini, ekamelweni labazali bakhe. Umzimba ka-Amy wawulele lapho ngendlela engeyona eyemvelo, futhi igazi lanqwabelana ekhanda lakhe. Eduze kwakukhona i-Springfield XDS 9mm.
UStephen washayela i-911. “Ngicabanga ukuthi umkami uzidubule,” esho. “Kunegazi eliningi lapha.”
I-Cottage Grove City Hall, lapho umnyango wamaphoyisa ukhona
Usayitsheni uGwen Martin wafika endlini kungakapheli nemizuzu embalwa ngemva kocingo luka-911. Lapho ebona isidumbu sika-Amy siphansi, wakhumbula esemfundisa ohlelweni lweCitizens Academy wayesehlengezela izinyembezi. Kwathatha omunye usayitsheni, uMartin wabuyela emotweni. Esekwazi kahle, waphendukela ku-laptop kuphaneli futhi waqala ukusesha izingcingo emaphoyiseni kuleli kheli. Wamangala lapho ethola umbiko lapho uTerry Raymond echaza izinsongo empilweni ka-Amy ezivela kuwebhu emnyama. UMartin wathatha ucingo washayela uDetective Randy McAlister, owayephethe uphenyo eCottage Grove.
UMcAlister wayeneminyaka engu-47 ubudala ngesithuthuthu se-Harley-Davidson kanye nobuso obusha kakhulu. Wayevame ukuba nengxenye ekwenzeni imigilingwane yehhovisi. Inkomishi yakhe yekhofi yathi, "Ngenxa yokugcinwa kuyimfihlo komsebenzi wami, angazi ukuthi ngenzani." Nokho, ukujabula kwakhe kwakufihla isimo sakhe sokucophelela. Cishe eminyakeni eyishumi edlule, uMcAllister wayephenya icala lokubulala edolobheni eliseduze; Owayengumlingani kankosikazi ubulale abashadikazi emzini wabo ngesikhathi izingane zabo zicashe endlini. Ngaphambi nje kwalokhu, lona wesifazane watshela amaphoyisa ukuthi isithandwa sakhe esinesikhwele sathintwa ngokwephula umyalo wenkantolo. UMcAlister ukhungathekile ukuthi lolu hlelo luhlulekile ukusiza lona wesifazane futhi waqala uhlelo lwakhe lokuvikela abangase babe yizisulu ekulandeleni nasekuhlukumezeni okuhlosiwe. Ngemva kokuzwa uRaymond ekhuluma ngezinsongo u-Amy azithola kuwebhu emnyama, waphakamisa ukuthi aziqhathanise nesizindalwazi sokusongela esigcinwe yi-FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit; lokhu kungabasiza bakhe iphrofayili yomuntu ongase enze icala. Kodwa wayengenagunya kule ndaba.
Manje wayesephuthuma endlini yase-Allwine. Ehamba egaraji, ngokushesha wezwa iphunga le squash lipheka ku-slow cooker. Lokhu kwabonakala kuyinqaba kuye; abantu abavamile ukuqala ukupheka ngaphambi kokuba bazibulale. Kwakukhona okunye ukungafani: amamaki anegazi ezinhlangothini zombili zomnyango wekamelo. Futhi nakuba phansi ephasishi kwakugcwele uboya bezinja, ihholo eliseduze lalihlanzekile.
Ngesikhathi uMcAllister elinde umhloli wezempilo nabaphenyi bobugebengu ukuthi bafike, iphoyisa lathatha uSteven nendodana yakhe babayisa esiteshini. URaymond wathatha uSteven wamyisa egumbini lokuphenywa imibuzo lapho yena noSilkie bahlangana khona no-Amy ezinyangeni ezinhlanu ezedlule, kanti uzakwabo wayeqaphe umfana ekamelweni lokuphumula. URaymond wakhipha amagilavu e-latex waswaca umlomo kaSteven ukuze enze i-DNA test. "Nawe uzothatha lokhu kubazali bomkakho?" – kubuza uStephen. “Cha, wena nendodana yakho kuphela,” kusho uRaymond. Wacela uStephen ukuthi amtshele ukuthi uchitha kanjani usuku lwakhe.
UStephen wabambisana nephoyisa, kodwa uRaymond wacabanga ukuthi uziphathe ngendlela ephambene nemvelo endodeni eyayisanda kushonelwa umkayo. Wakhumbuza umphenyi ukuthi u-Amy wayenefayela ku-FBI; wathi ikhompuyutha yakhe yenza okungavamile. “Njengomuntu osembonini ye-IT, lokhu kuyangicasula ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi izinto kufanele zisebenze kanjani kwezomthetho,” esho, enezela: “Angazi lutho ngokugetshengwa nokunye okunjalo.”
Ezinsukwini ezintathu ezalandela, abaphenyi bacubungula indawo yesigameko. Ochwepheshe bafafaza i-luminol phansi bacisha izibani. Lapho i-luminol ihlangana negazi noma izihlanzi, yayicwebezela okwesibhakabhaka ngokugqamile. Ukukhanya kwabonisa ukuthi iphaseji liyahlanzwa. Uphinde wagqamisa amathrekhi amaningana aholela ekamelweni kusukela egumbini lokuwasha nangemuva.
Amaphoyisa aseCottage Grove akhiphe incwadi egunyaza ukusesha umuzi. UMcAlister wahlala etafuleni lokudlela, ekopisha ubufakazi. URaymond wehlela ehhovisi likaStephen egumbini elingaphansi. Lapho engena, wabona ukuthi yonke indawo yayimbozwe yimfucumfucu: amafolda, izintambo eziphithene, amadrayivu angaphandle, amakhadi e-SD, kanye nerekhoda yezwi neFitbit. Kwakukhona ama-hard drive ohlobo olwalungakaze lusetshenziswe iminyaka eyishumi. Edeskini likaSteven kwakunamamonitha amathathu kanye neMacBook Pro—hhayi ikhompyutha efanayo ayeyinikeze i-FBI.
Amaphoyisa athwala impango aye phezulu, abese eshintshana ngokuyinikeza uMcAlister ukuze ayiqophe. Wacabanga kanjalo ebuka imishini inqwabelana. Bese kuthi “O Nkulunkulu, kungakanani okwenzekayo.” Nokho, amathuluzi ayelokhu eza futhi eza. Babengamashumi ayisithupha nesithupha sebebonke.
Ngenxa yokuthi lobu bugebengu buhilela ukufa kwempahla yedolobha, uphenyo lwenziwa ngaphansi kokuqondisa koMnyango Wamaphoyisa aseCottage Grove. Emasontweni amabili nesigamu ngemva kokufa kuka-Amy, i-FBI yamthumelela ifayela. Evula imibhalo, uMcAlister noRaymond babona - ngokokuqala ngqa - ukuxhumana okuphelele noBesa Mafia. Yilapho-ke abathola khona ukuthi isidlaliso somuntu owayefuna u-Amy abulawe sasingunkulunkulu wenja.
Ngaleso sikhathi, uStefanu wayesengumsolwa, kodwa babungekho ubufakazi obumxhumanisa nokubulala. Ukuthi i-DNA yakhe yayikuyo yonke indawo kwakungamangalisi: leli kwakuyikhaya lakhe. Bekungekho okungajwayelekile kuvidiyo yokuvikela, nakuba ukurekhodwa bekungaphelele. USteven wachaza ukuthi yena no-Amy abazange bavule ikhamera ngaphezu komnyango wengilazi eslayizayo ngenxa yokuthi izinja zabo zazilokhu zihamba kuwo. UMcAllister ubenethemba lokuthola izimpendulo emishinini eyalethwa uRaymond esuka egumbini elingaphansi kwe-Allwine.
Ngokushesha nje lapho amafayela e-Besa Mafia evela ku-pastebin, ababhulogi banquma ngokushesha ukuthi isayithi liwumkhonyovu. Elandelana, amakhasimende akwa-Yura akhala ngokuthi ukubulawa kwawo akukwenziwanga. Kodwa-ke, uMcAlister wayengafuni ukuthatha noma yini kalula. Yena kanye noDetective Jared Landkamer bahlonze abanye abayishumi ababeqondiswe kuma-oda e-Besa Mafia e-United States futhi bathinta iziteshi zamaphoyisa ezindaweni abahlala kuzo. Lokhu kungabanikeza ukuhola okusha endabeni yabo noma kusindise ezinye izimpilo.
UMcAlister usabalalise umsebenzi we-elekthronikhi. Lawa makhompyutha uwathumele kuchwepheshe wezobunhloli esiteshini samaphoyisa esiseduze. I-Landkamer ithole imvume yomthetho yokufinyelela ama-imeyili e-Allwein - futhi yachitha izinsuku eziningi iwafunda. URaymond waqala ngokukhipha idatha kumafoni kaSteven. Egunjini elingenafasitela elifakwe iziqaphi zesevisi eduze kwezindonga, wasebenzisa isofthiwe ehlunga idatha—izinhlelo zokusebenza lapha, umlando wezingcingo lapho—futhi wakha kabusha umugqa wesikhathi wamadivayisi. Ocingweni uStephen alunikeze i-FBI ikhophi, uRaymond wathola i-Orfox ne-Orbot, edingekayo ukuze ufinyelele inethiwekhi ye-Tor. Uphinde wathola imiyalezo equkethe amakhodi okuqinisekisa avela kuwebhusayithi ye-LocalBitcoins. Kungenzeka ukuthi i-FBI ibageje noma ayizange inake.
Ngemva kokubheka ifoni ka-Amy, wabona ukuthi ngosuku lokufa kwakhe, ingqondo yakhe yayiya ngokuya idideka. Ngo-13:48 p.m., waya ekhasini le-Wikipedia ku-vertigo. Ngo-13:49 p.m., wathayipha igama elithi DUY enjinini yokusesha. Bese kuthi emva komzuzu ISO. Bese u-DIY VWHH. Kubukeka sengathi ubezama kanzima ukuthola ukuthi kungani igumbi limzungezile, kodwa akakwazanga ukubhala amagama enjini yokusesha.
Lapho ebuzwa ngabaphenyi bombuso, uStephen wavuma ukuthi wayethandana noWooward. URaymond wathola othintana naye "Michelle" ocingweni lukaSteven, kwathi lapho abaphenyi bexoxa noWoodard, wabatshela ngesidlo sakusihlwa sosuku lokuzalwa lapho uSteven amthumelela khona umyalezo wokuthi ukhiye okhiye emotweni ngenkathi ethenga ama-bitcoins. Umlando wezingcingo zikaSteven ukuqinisekisile ukuthi washayela usizo lomgwaqo ngalolo suku esuka kwaWendy's eMinneapolis. Abaseshi basebenzise imilayezo yombhalo enamakhodi okuqinisekisa ukuze bathole i-akhawunti yakhe ye-LocalBitcoins. Lokhu kuholele ekutheni baxhumane nomthengisi mayelana nokuhwebelana kwe-$6000.
Kumadivayisi kaStephen, u-Landkamer uthole ama-imeyili engeziwe, lapho amagama omsebenzisi afinyelele ngaphansi kwawo ku-Backpage kanye ne-LonelyMILFS.com aziwa. Lokhu kwakungelona ubugebengu ngokwako, kodwa kwakusikisela isisusa esingase sibe khona.
Ngenkathi efihle iningi lezenzo zobugebengu, uStephen akazange awususe umlando wakhe wokusesha. NgoFebhuwari 16, imizuzu ngaphambi kwesiphakamiso sokuqala sika-dogdaygod sokubulala u-Amy eMoline, uSteven Googled "moline il" kuMacBook Pro yakhe. Ngemva kosuku, wayebheka umshwalense wabo. NgoJulayi, ngaphambi nje kokuba u-Amy athole i-imeyili yokuqala esabisayo equkethe abathintwayo abavela kuwebhusayithi yeRadaris, wavakashela amakhasi esayithi ahambisana namalungu omndeni wakhe.
Ukubulala bekuyivelakancane e-Cottage Grove, futhi abaseshi, ababebhekene nobufakazi obuthile kanye nemvelo yokugwema ubumnyama bewebhu, balithakasela kakhulu leli cala. Ngobunye ubusuku, ngilele embhedeni ngemva kokufunda ifayela le-FBI ku-Amy, Landkamer Googled dogdaygod. Ngemva kokubona imiphumela, wafonela umkakhe. Injini yokusesha ikhombe amakhasi ambalwa asuka kuwebhusayithi ye-Dream Market, isitolo sezidakamizwa esiku-inthanethi kuwebhu emnyama.
I-Landkamer yathumela ngokushesha umyalezo mayelana nokutholakele kuMcAlister. UMcAlister wethule iTor futhi wavula izincwadi ne-Dream Market. Kolunye uchungechunge, i-dogdaygod yabuza ukuthi ukhona yini owayenayo ethengiswayo , umuthi onamandla. UMcAllister wayesebenze njengomsizi wezimo eziphuthumayo, ngakho wayazi ukuthi i-scopolamine yayinqunyelwe ukugula okunyakazayo, kodwa futhi yayingenza abantu bathobele futhi ibangele i-amnesia, ithole igama lesidlaliso elithi “Devil’s Breath.” Ephenya emakhasini, wahlangana namazwana avela kumsebenzisi owayecabanga ukuthi i-dogdaygod ifuna ukusebenzisa i-scopolamine ekuzijabuliseni komuntu siqu. “Kukhona umdayisi,” ebhala, “kodwa kungcono usike lokho kuganga, mngane. Kuyingozi njengesihogo, futhi ungabulala umuntu. ”
Okuqukethwe kwesisu sika-Amy kwaqinisekiswa kamuva ukuthi kuqukethe i-scopolamine. Kodwa-ke, ubufakazi obubaluleke kakhulu batholwa ngenxa yekhethelo lokudala amakhophi okuphepha emishini ye-Apple. Uchwepheshe wezobunhloli we-IT ovela endaweni eseduze uthole umlayezo ezinqolobaneni ze-MacBook Pro ka-Steven equkethe ikheli le-Bitcoin elavela ku-iPhone yakhe ngo-March 2016. Lokhu kwenzeke imizuzwana engu-23 ngaphambi kokuthi i-dogdaygod ithumele u-Yura umlayezo wesikhwama esifanayo wamadijithi angu-34. Imizuzwana engama-40 ngemuva kokuthumela umlayezo ku-Yura, umyalezo ovela ocingweni lukaSteven wamukelwe. Kodwa ifayela elisusiwe alipheli kuze kube yilapho amanye amafayela ethatha indawo yawo. Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa kamuva, lapho uStephen esekela ifoni yakhe nge-iTunes, kwagcinwa indaba ebalulekile kukhompuyutha ephathekayo.
UMcAllister wayejabule. Abaseshi baxhumanisa ubuntu bukaStephen obungaxhumekile ku-inthanethi, umdala wesonto okhathazekile ngokufaneleka kwezinyathelo zokudansa, nobuntu bakhe ku-inthanethi njengomphikisi nomuntu owayezoba umbulali. Ukungaziwa okukhangayo kwewebhu emnyama, okwakhuthaza uStefanu ebugebengwini, kwamnikeza umuzwa wokuba namandla onke. Uhlulekile ukuqonda ukuthi leli khono alizange lidlulisele kuwebhu evamile kanye nomhlaba wangempela.
USteven Allwine okwamanje uboshiwe e-Minnesota State Penitentiary e-Oak Park Heights.
Icala likaStephen Allwine lathatha izinsuku eziyisishiyagalombili. Abashushisi besifunda bethule idlanzana lofakazi abaqavile: imenenja yesitolo sezinto ezithengiswayo lapho uStephen ayethengisa khona isiliva, i-Iowa ephelezelwa e-Backpage, kanye no-Woodard. UMcAlister ukhombise isikhali sokubulala enkantolo, uJared Landkamer wachazela inkantolo incazelo yegama elithi MILF, okwathi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kwaba wumthombo wamahlaya angapheli esiteshini samaphoyisa.
Abashushisi u-Fred Fink no-Jamie Krauser basebenzisa ubufakazi ukuze bakhe ithiyori: U-Steven wadlisa u-Amy ushevu ngedosi enkulu ye-scopolamine ukuze bambulale noma bamvimbe. Kodwa nakuba ayenesiyezi futhi engaphilile, akazange afe. Ngakho uStephen wamdubula ngesibhamu sabo ephasishi. Wabe esethwala isidumbu waya ekamelweni wageza igazi. Lapho eya egalaji likaphethiloli futhi ehambisa indodana yakhe eCulvers, wayewagcina amarisidi uma kwenzeka.
Ijaji labhunga amahora ayisithupha ngaphambi kokuthola uStephen enecala. NgoFebhuwari 2, wangeniswa enkantolo ezomemezela isinqumo. Ngamunye womndeni wakhe nabangane ababekhona batshele ijaji ukuthi u-Amy ubaluleke kangakanani kubo. UStefanu wabe esesukuma ukuze akhulume nenkantolo.
Ukuphefumula kakhulu, wazama ukulahla ubufakazi bezobuchwepheshe obuhlobene nama-backups wefayela kanye nezikhwama ze-Bitcoin. Wabe esebhekisa ukunakekela kwakhe ebuhleni bakhe obungokomoya. Ejele, lapho ayevalelwe khona phakathi nokuqulwa kwecala, washumayeza imilutha yezidakamizwa nabanukubezi bezingane. Uthe uguqule okungenani abantu abathathu abangakholwa.
“Mnumzane Allwine,” kusho ijaji ngemva kokulalela inkulumo yalo, “imizwa yami ngeke isishintshe isinqumo kuleli cala. Kodwa ngizwa sengathi ungumlingisi omangalisayo. Ungenza izinyembezi uzimise. Ungumzenzisi futhi ungumuntu obandayo." Ijaji limgwebe udilikajele ngaphandle kwe-parole (icala manje selibhekise amabombo enkantolo yokudlulisa amacala). Esegunjini elilandelayo, uMcAllister wabuka uRaymond noLandkamer ngefasitela, belalele ngokweneliseka ekukhuzeni kwejaji kummangalelwa. Nokho, imizwa yakhe yayifiphele. UMcAlister waqonda ukuthi kungani, phakathi nophenyo lwe-FBI kuwebhu emnyama, kungenzeka ukuthi uSteven akazange avuse izinsolo. Ubuhlobo bukaStephen no-Amy babonakala bejabule futhi kwakungekho umlando wobudlova noma ukusetshenziswa kwezidakamizwa. Wayazi ukuthi ukubuka emuva kungase kuthonye iziphetho zabaphenyi, kodwa futhi wayenomuzwa wokuthi ukufa kuka-Amy kwakungavinjelwa. Ochwepheshe bokusongela basebenzisa uhlu lwezinto ezine ukuze bahlole ukuthi kungenzeka yini ukuthi umhlaseli ongaziwa ungumuntu osondelene nesisulu. Endabeni ka-Amy, zozine zaziyiqiniso: umuntu wayelandela ukunyakaza kwakhe, ngokusobala wayehlala eduze, wayeyazi imikhuba yakhe nezinhlelo zekusasa, futhi wayekhuluma ngaye ngokunengeka noma ngokudelela.
Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa zecala, uMcAllister wakhushulelwa esikhundleni sokuba ukaputeni. Uhlala eluleka iminyango yamaphoyisa ngamacala amnyama ewebhu. Bekungekho okunye ukufa okuhlobene namakhasimende e-Besa Mafia, kodwa kubikwa ukuthi u-Yura uvule ezinye izingosi zomgunyathi okuthiwa zihlobene nokubulawa kwezinkontileka: iCrime Bay, iSicilian Hitmen, iCosa Nostra. Kwaba sengathi u-Yura ungudeveli, ebukele ekude futhi ehleka njengoba imbewu ayiphonsa ihluma futhi iphenduka ububi obugcwele.
