我们都曾对深爱的人发过火，我想大家也都做过一些事后后悔、想收回的事情。
We've all been angry at people that we love, and I think we've all probably done things that we wish we could take back or regret.
比佛利山庄911，您的紧急情况具体地址是？
Beverly Hills 911, what is the address of your emergency?
2017年10月10日，比佛利山庄警察局接到一通报案，称有一具无人看管的遗体。
10/10/2017, the Beverly Hills Police Department received a 911 call of an unattended death.
那边到底发生什么事了？
What's going on there?
我们发现母亲已经失去意识了。
We found mother unconscious.
她被儿子和女儿发现倒在地上。
She's found on the floor by her son and daughter.
维奥莱特·雅科比是一位67岁的寡妇，她的丈夫一年前去世了。
Violet Yacoby was a 67 year old widow whose husband had passed a year earlier.
她一个人住在那栋房子里。
She was living in that house alone.
那房子挺好的。
It was a nice house.
那天没人联系上她，这可不寻常。
No one had heard from her that day, which was uncommon.
丹尼尔·亚科比和他妹妹迪娜·亚科比赶到家里。
Daniel Yacoby and his sister, Dina Yacoby, meet at the house.
丹尼尔拨了911。
Daniel calls 911.
好的，她还昏迷着吗？
Okay, is she still unconscious?
是的。
Yes.
对。
Yes?
她还有呼吸吗？
Is she breathing?
没有。
No.
丹尼尔·雅科比是维奥莱特36岁的儿子。
Daniel Yacoby is a 36 year old son of Violet.
他是一名牙医。
He was a dentist.
你上一次见到她是什么时候？
How long ago did you last see her?
她这样有多久了？
Like how long has she been like that?
你知道吗？
Do you know?
不知道，我一点也不清楚。
No, I have no
九一一接线员问他是否有人会心肺复苏。
He's asked by the nine eleven operator if anyone knows CPR.
你需要我一步步教你吗？还是有人懂这个？
Do you need me to walk you through it or does somebody know it?
不用了，我们俩都是医生。
No, we're both doctors.
你们俩都是医生？
You're both doctors?
明白了。
Okay.
算了，不用了。
We have Never mind.
他说我妹妹正在做心肺复苏。
He says my sister's doing CPR.
谁在做心肺复苏？
Who's doing CPR?
我妹妹。
My sister.
那通电话里，就过了几分钟而已。
During that call, it was just a matter of minutes.
第一辆巡逻车已经到了那栋房子。
The first patrol car had arrived at the house.
警察到了？
The police are there?
对。
Yes.
这是维奥莱特的家？
This is Violet's house?
对，就是这儿。
Yes, this is it.
你还记得来过这里吗？
Do you remember coming here?
是的。
Yeah.
那时候黑漆漆的，已经是晚上了。
It was dark, nighttime.
我记得自己走上台阶，推门进了屋。
I remember walking up the steps and in the door.
没有强行闯入的痕迹吗？
And no sign of forced entry?
没有。
No.
玄关很大，地面是大理石的。
It's a large entry doorway, marble floor.
右边有一道宽敞的弧形楼梯。
There's a large curving staircase that's to the right.
受害者仰面躺在地上。
The victim was laying on her back.
一开始，他们以为她是从栏杆上摔下去的。
Initially, they thought that she had fallen over the railing.
他们根本不知道死因是什么。
They just didn't know the cause of death.
她不是被刺死的，也不是被枪杀的。
It wasn't like she'd been stabbed or shot.
这个案子中特别关键的一点是，她倒下的位置离栏杆有多近。
One of the issues that becomes incredibly relevant to this case is where she's laying, where it is in vicinity to a railing.
我直接往下看，她的脚就在楼梯底下。
I'm looking straight down, and her feet are under the staircase.
这让我觉得，
That, to me,
她不是从栏杆上摔下去的。
she didn't fall over the railing.
是他当时说，这事儿怎么看都不对劲。
He was the one who said, This is not sitting well with me.
她的下巴上有一处明显的擦伤，呈V字形。
There was very significant abrasion on her jawline in a kind of V shaped pattern.
在她下巴下方不远处，还有一处独立的擦伤。
There was a separate abrasion just below that on her neck.
你的意思是，他们很快就怀疑她是被勒死的？
What you're saying is they were suspecting pretty quickly that she might have been strangled.
这确实是一个可能性。
Certainly it was an option.
你们对这个家庭了解多少？
What did you learn about this family?
我们了解到，这个家庭关系很紧密。
-We learned it was a tight family.
整个社区的关系也很紧密。
It was a tight community.
我直说吧，你对我们还不够坦诚。
-I'm telling you straight to your face, you're not being completely honest with us.
那家里根本不是表面看起来那么和谐。
-That it was not all roses and rainbows in that house.
埃琳·莫里亚蒂报道。
Erin Moriarty reports.
比佛利山庄，911。
Beverly Hills, 911.
只要是无人看管的死亡事件，我们都会被叫去处理。
Any unattended death like this, we will get called out to.
有些情况明显比其他情况更可疑。
Some are clearly more suspicious than others.
当比佛利山庄警局的侦探马克·施瓦茨接到电话，说67岁的寡妇维奥莱特·亚科比家中发生了一起非正常死亡事件时。
When Beverly Hills police detective Mark Schwartz got the call about an unintended death at the home of 67 year old widow, Violet Yacoby.
他根本不知道会发现什么。
He didn't know what he would find.
这个案子后来越来越让人觉得可疑。
This one gradually got more and more suspicious.
那是2017年10月10日。
It was 10/10/2017.
维奥莱特的儿子丹尼尔和女儿迪娜告诉警方，他们在晚上7点半左右，在楼梯下方的大理石门厅发现了母亲。
Violet's son, Daniel, and daughter, Dina, had told police they found their mother on the marble entryway below the staircase around 07:30PM.
最初赶到现场的警员怀疑这可能是一起自杀事件。
Responding officers initially suspected it might be a suicide.
我们最早得到的信息是，她可能情绪低落，还可能从栏杆上跌落，这些就是我们到场时的初步判断。
The information that we got very early on about possibly being depressed and possibly falling over the railing, those are the things that we showed up with.
她的狗刚刚去世了。
Her dog had just died.
她取消了保洁员的上门服务。
She had canceled her cleaning lady.
维奥莱特刚刚纪念完丈夫去世一周年。
Violet had just marked the one year anniversary of her husband's death.
但当退休警探乔治·埃尔韦尔赶到现场时，他觉得她不太可能是自己翻过栏杆的。
But when detective George Elwell, now retired, arrived at the home, he didn't think she could have gone over the railing.
在这张犯罪现场照片中，48小时后，法医用图像还原了尸体的姿势。
In this crime scene photo, forty eight hours rendered the body as a graphic to show the position.
这个描述还算准确吧？
Is that a pretty good description?
是的。
Yes.
那我在这张图上看到的是什么？
So what am I seeing there?
这是我到场时尸体所在的位置。
Where the body was laying at the time I got there.
埃尔韦尔说，他从栏杆顶端往下看时，惊讶地发现维奥莱特的脚藏在楼梯底下，根本看不到。
Elwell says that when he looked down from the top of the railing, he was surprised that he couldn't see Violet's feet, which were under the staircase.
我不是物理专家，但任何有重量的东西从这上面摔下去，惯性都会让它稍微远离楼梯。
I'm not an expert in physics, but anything that's gonna go over that that has any kind of weight to it, momentum's gonna take it away from the staircase a little bit.
埃尔韦尔是个老派调查员，以前专攻入室盗窃，对这类实物证据特别敏感，比如楼梯栏杆上还留着的那层灰尘。
Elwell, an old school investigator with a background in burglaries, also had an eye for more tactile evidence, like the dust that still covered much of the staircase railing.
整条栏杆上下，都有明显的灰尘痕迹。
Up and down the entire railing, there's dust patterns.
但以她的体型来看，栏杆上完全没有被撞过或翻越过的痕迹。
But for a person of her stature, there's absolutely no disturbance on that railing that would have indicated anything had gone over.
他到警局后把我拉到一边，说我们得为她登记。
When he got to the station, he pulled me aside and he said, we gotta register for her.
我总觉得哪里不对劲。
I'm not comfortable with what I'm seeing.
午夜前后，两位警探一起回到现场，让丹尼尔和迪娜重新走一遍当时的情景。
Around midnight, the two detectives went to the scene together, and they asked Daniel and Dina to come for a walk through.
现场没有任何被入室盗窃的迹象。
There were no signs of a burglary.
她的钱包、支票簿、手机、iPad，所有可能被偷的东西都原封不动地留在原地。
Her wallet was there, her checkbook, cell phone, iPad, anything that would have been stolen was still there.
他们越来越确信，维奥莱特并没有翻过栏杆。
And they soon became more convinced that Violet had not gone over the railing.
我们让迪娜站在栏杆旁边。
We had Dina stand next to the railing.
我问了她妈妈有多高。
I asked her how tall the mother was.
她告诉了我。
She told me.
她说她比我矮。
She said she's shorter than me.
维奥莱特身高大约一米五，栏杆高超过九十多厘米，比她身高的一半还高。
Violet was about five feet tall, and the railing was just over three feet, more than half her height.
栏杆太高了，根本爬不过去。
The railing would come up too high.
如果她真想翻过去，灰尘肯定会被彻底搅乱。
If she wanted to climb over, the dust would have been completely damaged.
她不小心翻过去，这根本说不通。
For her to accidentally fall over was just not reasonable.
更让人疑惑的是维奥莱特脸上和脖子上的伤痕。
Raising more questions were the injuries on Violet's face and neck.
她下巴这儿有个痕迹。
There was some sort of mark under her chin here.
她脖子上有不正常的印子。
There's unnatural marks on her neck.
看起来维奥莱特还吐过。
It also appeared Violet had vomited.
这说明了什么
And what does that say
你们怎么看？
to you guys?
我觉得有几种可能。
To me, there was a couple of different possibilities.
她是被呛到了吗？
Did she choke?
还是被人勒死了？
Was she strangled?
在最初接受另外两位侦探询问时，丹尼尔也曾怀疑他母亲是被勒死的。
During an initial interview with two other detectives, Daniel had also wondered if his mother had been strangled.
不过我想问你一件事。
Let me ask you something, though.
我的意思是，我不太确定，就是实在想不通。
I mean, I don't know what it I just can't get my head around.
我看到她身上到处都是淤青。
Like, I saw bruising everywhere.
对吧？
Right?
对。
Mhmm.
我还看到这里有一块淤青。
And I saw a bruise right here.
所以，她当时好像在尖叫。
So, and it looks like she was screaming.
那时候，我还没排除她自己上吊的可能性。
I, at that point, had not ruled out this idea that she had hung herself.
但维奥莱特的尸体附近并没有发现绳子或皮带这类明显的工具。
Yet there were no obvious signs like a rope or a belt near Violet's body.
维奥莱特的家人坚决否认她会自杀。
And Violet's family members rejected the idea that she would take her life.
丹尼尔曾描述过，就在两天前，他还参加过她家的家庭聚餐。
Daniel had described seeing her just two days earlier at a family dinner.
我们当时坐在一起，一切都很正常，你知道的。
And we were sitting right next to each other, and everything was, you know, fine.
当施瓦茨警官得知维奥莱特属于一个关系紧密的俄罗斯犹太社区，而那里把自杀视为禁忌时，他突然想到，她的孩子可能在隐瞒真相。
When detective Schwartz learned that Violet was part of a close knit Russian Jewish community where suicide is taboo, it occurred to him that her children might be covering it up.
我对犹太社区更了解一些，所以我在想，这种事在他们那儿会怎么看待。
I'm a little more in tune with the Jewish community, so I was thinking how would it be looked at
在
in the
所以你猜可能是孩子们在隐瞒什么？
And so you thought maybe the kids might hide?
对。
Right.
对。
Right.
会不会跟保险有关？
Could it be an insurance thing?
会不会是因为丢脸？
Could it be a shame thing?
当天晚些时候，他们聊起了各自注意到的丹尼尔行为中的异常之处。
Later that day, they talked about oddities they both had observed in Daniel's behavior.
当时现场勘查时，情况看起来还挺正常的。
For how well it was during the walkthrough.
丹尼尔站在尸体发现的门厅里，不停地来回走动。
Daniel's in the foyer where the body was found, just moving from side to side.
他低着头，蹲在那里，摸着地砖，我总觉得哪里不对劲。
He's looking down, he's crouching, he's touching the tile, and it just didn't sit well with me.
你没觉得他可能只是个伤心的儿子吗？
You didn't think it could just be a grieving son?
他在琢磨
Trying to figure out
他妈妈为什么会倒在地板上。
why his mother ended up on the floor?
不是。
No.
他表现得特别夸张。
It was so animated.
就像看《神探可伦坡》里他找证据那样，一模一样。
It was just like watching a episode of Columbo when he would look for evidence.
对施瓦茨来说，关键在于他们见面时丹尼尔的态度。
For Schwartz, it was Daniel's demeanor when they met.
丹尼尔非常乐意帮忙。
Daniel was very eager to help.
这有什么不对吗？
And what's wrong with that?
没什么不对。
Nothing.
但他身上有种紧张不安的劲儿。
But it was like a nervous energy that he had.
可话说回来，丹尼尔·雅各比一直都很配合。
But, I mean, all along, Daniel Yacobia is being cooperative.
没错。
Absolutely.
是的。
Yes.
你的担心可能是他配合得太过头了。
Your concern may be too cooperative.
对。
Yes.
他们对丹尼尔最初跟其他警探讲的故事有疑问，说他和妹妹是怎么在母亲家碰面的，当时他得知没人联系上维奥莱特。
They had questions about the initial story that Daniel told to other detectives of how he and his sister had come to meet at their mother's house when he learned that no one had heard from Violet.
据称，他们去那里是因为一整天都没人能联系上她。
Apparently, they went there because no one had been able to get ahold of her during the day.
所以我立刻打了好几次电话给我妹妹。
So I called my sister immediately a few times.
丹尼尔给他妹妹打电话，编了个关于钥匙的复杂说法。
Daniel calls his sister, and there's some sort of convoluted story about the keys.
喂，姐，我怎么到处都找不到钥匙。
Hey, sis, I can't find my keys anywhere.
你知道你家的钥匙在哪儿吗？
Do you know where Do you have your keys to the house?
所以丹尼尔告诉迪娜，到家里来碰面。
So Daniel's telling Dina, meet me at the house.
所以我们俩正好同时到的。
So we meet exactly at the same time.
这事儿总觉得哪儿不对劲。
It didn't sit right.
关于谁做了心肺复苏，说法也不一致。
And there were conflicting stories about who had performed CPR.
在911通话里，丹尼尔告诉接线员是他妹妹在做心肺复苏。
On the 911 call, Daniel told the operator his sister was performing CPR.
但跟侦探谈话时，他又说他自己也做了胸外按压。
But when talking to detectives, he said he also had done compressions.
我和我妹妹，她主要负责人工呼吸。
My sister and I, she did more of the mouth to mouth.
按压是我做的。
Did the compressions.
你哥哥有帮忙做心肺复苏吗？
Did your brother help with the CPR?
没有。
No.
当施瓦茨警探联系迪娜时，她确认丹尼尔没有做心肺复苏。
When detective Schwartz called Dina, she confirmed that Daniel had not done CPR.
乔治和我提到，只有一人显得隐瞒实情，态度也不真诚。
George and I said there's only one person that doesn't seem to be forthcoming and doesn't seem genuine.
他们决定亲自面谈丹尼尔，尤其是得知薇奥莱特在10月9日星期一晚上就已去世，比被发现早了将近24小时之后。
They decided they needed to interview Daniel themselves, especially once they learned that Violet had died the night of Monday, October 9, nearly twenty four hours before she was found.
根据未接来电和胃内容物分析，我们基本可以确定她是在那天晚上去世的。
Based off of missed phone calls, contents in her stomach, we're pretty confident right now that it's the night of the night that she dies.
警探们想知道，丹尼尔当时在哪里？
And detectives wanna know, where was Daniel?
一开始，这消息像一场难以置信的噩耗突然爆发。
Initially, it's like an unbelievable explosion of horrible news.
薇奥莱特·雅科比去世的消息让比佛利山庄的众多朋友震惊又难过，其中包括加琳娜·布莱克曼。
The news of Violet Yacoby's death stunned and saddened her large circle of friends in Beverly Hills, including Galina Blackman.
谁会忍心杀害维奥莱特呢？
Who would ever, kill Violet?
维奥莱特和她丈夫一直是社区里的中坚人物。
Violet and her husband had long been pillars in their community.
一对完美的夫妻。
Perfect couple.
他是医生。
Doctor.
他们非常有名。
They were very well known.
维奥莱特最看重的是什么？
What was important to Violet?
家人。
Family.
她的兄弟、丈夫和孩子们。
Her brothers, her husband, her children.
她总想着让每个人都开心，我觉得是这样。
She had a mission of making everybody happy, I think.
她的儿子丹尼尔是牙医，女儿迪娜从事物理治疗工作。
Her son Daniel was a dentist and her daughter Dina worked in physical therapy.
他们就是美国梦的写照——移民家庭，在贝弗利山庄过上了美好的生活。
They are the American dream, immigrant family, and we're able to create a beautiful life in Beverly Hills.
表面上看，这是一个关系紧密、事业有成的家庭，这正是我们最初看到的样子。
From the outside, it is a tight knit, successful family, and that's what we saw initially.
但侦探们开始深入调查。
But detectives began to take a closer look.
10月13日星期五，距离发现维奥莱特遗体已经过去将近三天，助理法医完成了尸检。
On Friday, October 13, nearly three days after Violet's body was found, the deputy medical examiner completed autopsy.
官方死因是颈部压迫导致的窒息。
The official cause of death was asphyxia by neck compression.
勒死的？
Strangulation?
是的。
Yes.
她的死被定性为他杀。
Her death was being ruled a homicide.
这现在是一起谋杀案调查，侦探要求丹尼尔回来接受再次问询。
This was now a murder investigation, and detectives asked Daniel to come back for another interview.
从现在开始，任何问询都是自愿的。
Any interview at this point forward is voluntary.
你并没有被逮捕。
You're not under arrest.
所以我们知道他说自己从周日之后就没见过母亲。
You are So we know that he is saying he had not seen his mother since Sunday.
他第一次见到母亲是在周二，那时他发现了尸体。
First time he sees his mother is Tuesday when he discovers the body.
所以我们现在关注的就是这个完整的时间段。
So we have that full time frame that we're looking at.
他们先让丹尼尔回忆了10月10日星期二那天发生的事，还有他和妹妹刚到薇洛特家的那个晚上。
They first asked Daniel to go through the events of Tuesday, October 10, and the night he and his sister had arrived at Violet's house.
我们俩是同时到的。
We both get there at the same time.
他说，一进门看到妈妈躺在地上，整个人都慌了。
He told them he was in a panic when he walked in and saw her on the floor.
我到了那儿，完全懵了，你知道吧，那是我妈妈。
And I go there, in utter shock and, you know, like, it's my mom.
所以我当时彻底崩溃了。
So I'm, like, hysterical.
他说他先抱了抱妈妈的遗体，然后才开始做心肺复苏。
He said he hugged his mother's body before starting CPR.
我抱了她一下，就一下，然后就开始按胸口。
I grab her a little bit and just, you know, one hug, and then I start doing a chest compression.
但当侦探们把尸检结果告诉丹尼尔时，他对于母亲的死被定为他杀一点都没感到意外。
But when detectives shared with Daniel the results of the autopsy, he didn't seem surprised the learner death had been ruled a homicide.
我可以告诉你，她脖子上有勒痕。
I can tell you that she has ligature marks on her neck.
那时候她还在挣扎。
At this point, she was trying.
天哪。
Oh my god.
我就知道。
I knew it.
我早就有这种感觉。
I had a sense of that.
他们告诉丹尼尔，根据尸斑的分布情况——也就是人死亡后血液在体内的沉降模式——他们怀疑薇洛特死后不久被人移动过身体。
They told him based on the lividity patterns, the way the blood settles in the body after death, that they suspected Violet's body had been moved shortly after she died.
她不可能一直背朝上躺着好几个小时，然后就这么死了。
She wasn't lying on her back like that for hours at a time and died.
她的身体是被搬动过的。
She was moved.
他们还告诉他，他们觉得他在隐瞒什么。
Also told him they believed he was hiding something.
但你并没有把真相告诉我们。
But you're not giving us the truth.
关于尸体的说法对不上，丹尼尔。
The story of the body is not lining up, Daniel.
即使被问及是否对母亲的死负有责任，丹尼尔仍然继续说话。
Daniel continued talking even when he was asked if he was responsible for his mother's death.
你和你的
Was there any animosity between you and your
妈妈之间有过什么矛盾吗？
mom?
没有。
No.
你有没有想过要伤害她？
Did you ever think about pulling her?
没有。
No.
你杀了她吗？
Did you kill her?
没有。
No.
天啊，这太不对劲了。
God, this is off.
没有。
No.
这位是斯蒂芬妮。
This is Stephanie.
侦探们决定必须让丹尼尔牢牢锁定他关于皮洛特去世那晚行踪的说法。
Detectives decided they needed to lock Daniel into his story about where he was the night Pilot died.
你周一晚上做了什么？
What did you do Monday night?
开车回家的时候，
Driving home,
你知道的，从鹰伍德过来。
you know, from to Eaglewood.
他一直说，那个周一他在英伍德的牙科诊所上班，离贝弗利山大约十二英里，然后直接回家，他家离维奥莱特的屋子还有六英里。
He had consistently told them that on that Monday, he worked at his dental office in Inglewood, about 12 miles from Beverly Hills, and then drove straight home, which was another six miles from Violet's house.
你有去她家吗？
Did you stop at the house?
没有。
No.
周一那天？
On Monday?
没有。
No.
确定吗？
Positive?
但是
But
每次被问到他回家的路线时，他都显得很困惑，说不清楚细节。
each time he was asked to describe his drive home, he seemed stymied by the details.
你平时走哪条路上去？
What route do you take to go up?
因为我通常是走……
Because I was I take
我有时候会去比佛利山，所以那天我也去了比佛利山。
I take sometimes I go to Beverly Hills, so I did go to Beverly Hills.
什么时候？
When?
是在那天，但我没经过那条街。
On but I didn't go through that street.
当我们开始核对他在周一的时间线时，他就开始不自在了。
When we started getting his time frame of Monday, that's where he got uncomfortable.
你知道，我那天开了
You know, I took
走的是405号公路。
the 405.
这时候，我们还不确定他有没有去过英格尔伍德，但他描述回家路线时，对这么简单的问题显得特别吃力，根本说不清楚。
At this point, we don't know he wasn't at Inglewood, but his description of how he got home, it was so labored for such a simple question, and he could not give a clear answer.
但当被问到周一晚上或周二发现尸体前是否去过或靠近他母亲家时，丹尼尔非常肯定地否认了。
But Daniel was adamant when asked if he was at or near his mother's house Monday night or any point Tuesday before he reported finding the body.
第二天，你有没有去过比佛利山庄？
The next day, did you ever come into Beverly Hills the next day?
没有。
No.
所以，周二那天，我们是找不到你的车，也找不到你了？
So we're not gonna find your car or you anytime Tuesday?
没有。
No.
那周一晚上呢？
Or Monday night?
周一晚上？
Monday night?
你确定吗？
You sure about this?
是的。
Yes.
我们没法当场揭穿他的谎言，但心里清楚他在撒谎。
We couldn't call him out on the lie, but we knew he was lying.
我知道他在案件非常关键的那段时间里在撒谎。
And I knew he was lying during a time frame that was very significant in this case.
他隐瞒的那些事，肯定有他的原因。
Whatever he was holding in, it was for a reason.
这就是为什么
That's what the
伊韦尔警探告诉丹尼尔，他们怀疑他在周二晚上和妹妹一起去之前，曾独自一人待在他母亲的家里。
Detective Elwell told Daniel they suspected he had been alone inside his mother's home before going over with his sister on Tuesday night.
我一眼就看穿你了。
I see right through you.
我懂你的心思。
I can read you.
你心里明明有事，快憋疯了吧。
You're It's right in there bugging the crap out of you.
但丹尼尔反驳说，警察完全搞错了。
But Daniel pushed back and said the detectives had it all wrong.
我把我知道的全都说了。
I'm telling you everything I know.
你以为这对我容易吗？
You think this is easy for me?
我妈妈刚去世。
My mom just died.
这个世界上，没人比我妈妈更亲近了。
There's nobody closer in this world than my mom.
一个都没有。
Nobody.
还有一件事。
And there was something else.
他跟侦探说，他和妈妈关系很好，经常聊天、发短信。
He had told detectives he had a great relationship with his mom, saying they talked and texted on a regular basis.
我经常给她发宝宝的照片。
I text her baby pictures all the time.
你最近怎么样？
How are you?
就是些无聊的话。
Blah blah blah.
但当施瓦茨侦探查看丹尼尔的手机时，发现他发给妈妈的最后一张照片是一个月前的。
But when detective Schwartz looked at Daniel's phone, the last photo he had sent his mom was a month earlier.
已经有一阵子了。
It's been a while.
那张照片不是他孩子的，而是他银行账户的截图。
And it wasn't a picture of his baby, but of his bank account.
你是不是遇到经济问题了？
Will you have financial problems?
不是。
No.
我们一直都很坦诚，什么事都互相说。
We're just always, like, we're very open about everything.
到这个时候，我觉得这一点很重要。
At this point, I found that to be significant.
到那个星期五，他就成了我们的嫌疑人。
By that Friday, he's our suspect.
这一点毫无疑问。
No doubt about it.
很多人一听到比佛利山庄，第一反应就是明星住的地方。
I think a lot of people, when they hear the name Beverly Hills, they think of movie stars.
不对，那不是比佛利山庄的真样子。
No, that's not Beverly Hills.
比佛利山庄其实非常容易接触到。
Beverly Hills is very, very reachable.
你开车经过，就能看到那些房子。
You can drive and you see the homes.
明星们住的地方，都是外人根本进不去的。
Movie stars live in areas where they cannot be reached.
维奥莱特·亚科比说，加利娜·布莱克曼的情况不是这样。
That wasn't the case with Violet Yacoby says Galena Blackman.
她喜欢炫耀。
She liked to impress.
布莱克曼当了三十六年以上的比佛利山庄房产中介，专门做维奥莱特这类高端房产。
Blackman, a Beverly Hills realtor for more than thirty six years, specializes in luxury properties like Violet's.
在维奥莱特丈夫还在世时，加琳娜就被请去评估那栋房子。
Galina was asked to appraise the home while Violet's husband was still alive.
那时候我说，我觉得这房子值八百万美元。
At that time, and I said, I think it's an $8,000,000 house.
在维奥莱特于10月13日星期五去世后几天，调查人员舒瓦茨采访了她的儿子丹尼尔，怀疑金钱是否是动机。
When interviewing Violet's son, Daniel, just days following her death on Friday, October 13, Detective Schwartz wondered if money was a motive.
这房子归谁？
Who gets the house?
我。
I do.
这房子值多少钱？
How much is that house worth?
很多。
A lot.
丹尼尔将继承家族财富的一半。
Daniel stood to inherit half of the family fortune.
你们有没有讨论过遗嘱、钱，或者房子的归属问题？
Do you have any discussion about the will or the money or where the house is going?
类似这样的事？
Anything like that?
全都归我。
It's all me.
全都给
It's all to
你。
you.
还有我妹妹。
And to my sister.
警方现在有了谋杀案、潜在动机，以及一名嫌疑人。
Detectives now had a murder, a potential motive, and a suspect.
但经过两个多小时的盘问，他们还是放了丹尼尔。
But after more than two hours of questioning, they let Daniel go.
我们不能逮捕他。
We can't arrest him.
为什么不能？
Why not?
我们没有足够的证据。
We don't have the evidence.
迪诺已经被排除嫌疑，但他们还需要加强证据，深入调查丹尼尔的财务状况以及他和母亲的关系。
Dino was ruled out as a suspect, but they needed to shore up their case and dig deeper into Daniel's finances and his relationship with his mother.
这可不是普通的生意纠纷。
This is not like a business deal gone bad.
这里面的复杂性，我们必须搞清楚。
There's a complexity to that that we had to understand.
丹尼尔从小在贝弗利山庄长大，现在却住在托尼·贝莱尔附近。
Daniel, who had grown up in Beverly Hills, was now living near Tony Belair.
他妻子也是医疗从业者，他们刚出生五个月的孩子还在襁褓中。
His wife was also a medical professional and their baby was five months old.
展开剩余字幕（还有 253 条）
他生活中的一切都完美无缺。
Everything in his life was wonderful.
真是个好孩子。
Good boy.
迪恩·萨默斯和丹尼尔只是偶尔打过交道。
Dean Summers got to know Daniel casually.
他是个挺正常的人。
He is a man.
迪恩的哥哥是丹尼尔的邻居。
Dean's brother was Daniel's neighbor.
丹尼尔就住在隔壁。
Daniel lived right next door.
他被包装成明星牙医。
He was marketed as the dentist to the stars.
你第一次见到丹尼尔时，对他有什么印象？
First time you met Daniel, what were your impressions?
人挺好的。
Nice guy.
让人想和他做朋友的人。
Someone you wanted to be friends with.
一个我觉得可以慢慢成为朋友的人，就是那种生活有条不紊、很普通的正常人。
Somebody that I could potentially be friends with, just a nice normal guy that had his act together.
但调查人员说，那可能只是表面现象。
But it may have been just an act, say investigators.
我觉得我们很快就发现，他内心积压着很多对父母的怨气，因为他必须过某种生活，扮演某种角色。
I think resentment was one of the things that we started to learn pretty quick, that he had a lot of resentment towards his parents that he had to live a certain life and be a certain way.
迪恩·萨默斯说，丹尼尔后来曾向他吐露过这些感受。
Dean Summers says Daniel had later confided in him about those feelings.
那是迪恩最后一次见到他，就在维奥莱特去世前一年的某个时候。
It was the last time Dean saw him, sometime in the year before Violet's death.
他不太爱说话。
He was not talkative.
他看起来特别不开心。
He just looked very unhappy.
我就问丹尼尔：你怎么了？
And I said, Daniel, what's wrong?
这时候他说，丹尼尔一股脑儿倒出了好多牢骚。
That's when he says Daniel unloaded a laundry list of complaints.
我讨厌我的生活。
I hate my life.
我讨厌结婚。
I hate being married.
我讨厌我现在干的这份工作。
I hate what I'm doing for a living.
我讨厌我妈妈。
I hate my mother.
我讨厌我爸爸。
I hate my father.
他说了这些话，我简直惊呆了。
Those were his words, and I was just taken aback.
他说丹尼尔抱怨说，他父母，尤其是他妈妈，一直控制着他生活的方方面面，甚至逼他当牙医、结婚。
He says Daniel complained about how both his parents, his mother in particular, had controlled every aspect of his life, even pushed him into dentistry and marriage.
我问他，你为什么不干脆摆脱他们，过自己的生活呢？
I asked him, why don't you just break free of it and and live your own life?
他说，我做不到。
He goes, I can't.
我现在赚不到钱。
I'm not making any money.
他们实际上在养着我。
They basically help support me.
他觉得自己被困住了，因为经济上完全依赖他们。
He felt he was stuck because he's financially dependent on them.
虽然丹尼尔曾经自己开过诊所，但现在却给其他牙医打工。
Although Daniel had at one point owned his own practice, he now worked for other dentists.
虽然他嘴上说讨厌父母，你有没有觉得他可能会伤害他母亲？
Even though he said he hated his parents, did you get any sense that he might hurt his mother?
从来没有。
Never.
从来没有。
Never.
不过据调查人员说，他父亲去世后，丹尼尔和他母亲的关系以及他对家族财富的掌控变得复杂多了。
But according to investigators, after his father died, Daniel's relationship with his mother and access to the family fortune became more complicated.
他们一开始就收到了来自一位医生的举报。
They had received a tip early on from Doctor.
埃琳娜·斯佩克特，
Elena Spector,
她是
who
当时薇奥lette的嫂子。
was Violet's sister-in-law at the time.
她告诉我，丹尼尔早就对钱和遗产控制权着了魔，维奥莱特经常向她倾诉这些事。
She tells me that Daniel has had an obsession with money and control of the estate for some time that Violet would confide in her.
侦探们回头重新审查了10月13日他们对丹尼尔的访谈录像。
Detectives went back and reviewed the video of their interview with Daniel on October 13.
在丹尼尔独自一人的时候，他联系了妹妹。
During a period when Daniel was left alone, he had contacted his sister.
我们离开访谈室了，但录像还在继续录着。
We leave the interview room, but it's still recording.
他说丹尼尔根本不知道妹妹其实和另一组侦探在隔壁房间。
He says Daniel didn't realize that his sister was with other detectives in another room.
丹尼尔开始给妹妹发短信，说：‘别忘了，我也在做心肺复苏。’
Daniel starts sending texts to the sister about, Hey, just remember I was doing CPR too.
丹尼尔写道：‘我记得我们轮流做胸外按压，就为了把口供对上。’
Daniel wrote, I remember we both doing chest compressions one at a time, but both of us, just to keep the story straight.
妹妹告诉侦探：‘你知道吗？他给我发了些怪异的短信。’
The sister tells the detectives, you know what, he's sending me some weird texts.
于是她给他打了电话。
So she calls him.
哎，哎。
Hey, hey.
这些录音都是分开的，但你能听到全部内容。
And again, these are being recorded separately, but you can hear it all.
这跟胸外按压有什么关系？
What is this about, chest compressions?
迪娜给丹尼尔打电话时，告诉他她做了胸外按压。
When Dina called Daniel, she told him that she had done the compressions.
不，不，不，达尼克。
No, no, no, Danik.
是我做的胸外按压，你打的911。
I did the chest compressions and you called 911.
不对，你打电话给我是说那场折磨。
No, but you called me the torture.
不，你没有。
No, no, you didn't.
丹尼尔，
Daniel,
用俄语说话时，他坚称自己也做了。
speaking in Russian, insisted he had as well.
丹尼尔当时想把自己跟尸体联系起来。
Daniel was trying to put himself on the body.
因为他担心尸体上有DNA？
Because he's concerned there's DNA on the body?
他担心的是DNA。
He's concerned there's DNA.
没错，就是这样。
That's exactly it.
侦探们坚信，丹尼尔在10月9日星期一晚上维奥莱特去世时的行踪很可能在撒谎。
Detectives were convinced that Daniel was likely lying about where he was on Monday, October 9, the night Violet died.
但他们一直没法证实，直到下周拿到了他的手机通话记录。
But they couldn't prove it until they received his cell phone records the following week.
手机记录一出来，他的说法就全崩了。
The cell phone records blew his story out of the water.
他那天根本没在伊格尔伍德，根本没有。
He wasn't in Eaglewood at all No.
那天一整天都不在。
On that day.
手机记录显示，丹尼尔当时人在比弗利山庄，而且不是路过，是待在那里。
The phone records placed Daniel in Beverly Hills and not just driving through.
不仅如此，警方还拿到了丹尼尔家里的Nest监控录像，显示他当晚八点左右回到家。
And not only that, police had obtained footage from Nest security cameras inside Daniel's house that showed him arriving home around eight p.
晚上八点。
M.
就是那天晚上。
That night.
后来，他们看到这个男人在电脑前打字。
Later, they saw this man typing at a computer.
他们惊讶地发现那人是谁。
They were surprised to learn who it was.
我们根本不知道丹尼尔是秃头。
We didn't know Daniel was bald.
就在他回家四十分钟后，他戴着假发，又坐在同一台电脑前。
And here he is with his hairpiece at the same computer forty minutes after he came home.
在法医团队出结果之前，我们不知道他在搜什么。
You don't know what he's typing until we get the results from the computer search from our forensic team.
他搜索了人体皮肤上的潜伏指纹。
And he does a search of latent fingerprints on human skin.
那一刻我就知道，该行动了。
And that's when I knew it's time.
我们必须马上去抓他。
We gotta go arrest him.
他杀了他母亲，就是为了钱。
He killed his mother, and he did it for the money.

我当时正准备退休。
I was getting ready to retire.
我希望能亲自走过去给他戴上手铐。
I wanted to be the one to walk up and put the handcuffs on him.
2018年2月12日，距离对薇奥莱特·亚科比之死展开调查四个月后，比佛利山庄警探乔治·埃尔韦尔和马克·施瓦茨在家逮捕了丹尼尔·亚科比，指控他谋杀母亲。
On 02/12/2018, four months after launching the investigation into Violet Yacoby's death, Beverly Hills detectives George Elwell and Mark Schwartz arrested Daniel Yacoby at home for his mother's murder.
他当时什么反应？
What was his reaction?
一点都没惊讶。
Not shock.
他就整个人缩了进去，像蔫了一样。
Like, he just sunk into himself.
他第一句话问我，能不能把他的假发拿回来。
And the first thing he asked me, he says, can I get my toupee?
丹尼尔·亚科比被拒绝保释，由于法庭拖延，他在狱中待了七年多，直到2025年7月才终于开庭受审。
Daniel Yacoby was denied bail and would spend more than seven years in jail due to court delays before finally going on trial for murder in July 2025.
洛杉矶县副检察官谢恩·迈克尔表示，证据显示亚科比是为了钱勒死了母亲。
Los Angeles County deputy district attorney Shane Michael says the evidence shows that Yacoby strangled his mother for financial gain.
这是一种非常私密的犯罪。
It's a very personal type of crime.
你得亲手把人活活掐死。
You have to physically squeeze the life out of someone.
这就是勒杀的含义。
That's what strangulation is.
根据尸检报告，维奥莱特的眼睛和脸上有出血点，那是小血管破裂的表现，是勒杀的典型特征。
According to the autopsy report, Violet had petechia around her eyes and face, the rupturing of small blood vessels, a classic sign of strangulation.
她的下颌部位还有明显的擦伤。
There was also very significant abrasion on her jawline.
就在那下面，她的脖子上还有一处独立的擦伤。
There was a separate abrasion just below that on her neck.
我们说的是这样一圈痕迹。
We're talking about a line around here.
对。
Yeah.
但在庭审中，辩护方提出了完全不同的说法。
But at trial, the defense presented a very different theory.
事实是，她根本不是被杀的。
The truth is that she wasn't killed, period.
就这么简单。
Full stop.
事情到此为止。
End of story.
拉里·西姆斯医生是一名法医病理学家，曾担任内华达州拉斯维加斯的法医，他表示自己做过大约一万例尸检。
Doctor Larry Sims is a forensic pathologist and a former medical examiner in Las Vegas, Nevada, who says he has conducted about 10,000 autopsies.
您不认为薇洛特·亚科比是被谋杀的吗？
You don't believe that Violet Yacoby was murdered?
不。
No.
但她的儿子却因谋杀罪接受了审判。
But her son went on trial for her murder.
没错。
That is correct.
我当时在那场审判中出庭作证了。
And I testified at that trial.
西姆斯医生否定了薇洛特官方的死因认定。
Doctor Sims rejected Violet's official cause of death.
没有任何证据表明她被勒死，一点都没有。
There was no evidence that she was strangled, period.
一点都没有？
None?
一点都没有。
None.
医生。
Doctor.
西姆斯说，那些小红点其实是晒斑，脖子上的痕迹只是皮肤褶皱造成的。
Sims says the petechiae were just sunspots and those marks across Violet's neck, skin folds.
更重要的是，他说，助理法医忽略了那些表明她不是被勒死、而是从二楼平台跌落的伤痕。
What's more, he says, the deputy medical examiner missed injuries that pointed away from strangulation and toward a fall from the second story landing.
骨折就在这里。
This is where the fracture is right here.
维奥莱特有脊椎骨折，但尸检报告里完全没提到。
Violet had a spinal fracture that was not mentioned anywhere in the autopsy report.
你有没有担心过，你用来支持这次起诉的尸检报告里存在错误？
Are you at all concerned that the autopsy that you were relying on for this prosecution had errors in it?
这可是个不小的疏漏，对吧？
That's a pretty big mistake, isn't it?
是的。
Yeah.
说到错误，我觉得那更像是一种遗漏。
Well, when we talk about, you know, errors, I think that was an omission.
那还不是唯一的遗漏。
That wasn't the only omission.
同一位副法医也没注意到肋骨骨折，包括她背部的几处。
The same deputy medical examiner also failed to take note of rib fractures, including several on her back.
他没有在庭审中作证，检方试图弥补这个漏洞，指出这些伤痕都有照片为证，且没有一项导致维奥莱特死亡。
He didn't testify at trial, and the prosecution tried to address the problem, pointing out that the injuries had been photographed and that none of them contributed to Violet's death.
法医办公室拒绝就这篇报道发表评论。
The medical examiner's office declined a comment for this story.
我处理过很多凶杀案。
I've handled many homicide cases.
我从没见过哪份尸检报告有这么多错误。
I've never seen an autopsy with so many mistakes.
这对检方来说是个特别棘手的问题，得费劲解释清楚。
And that was a deeply troubling part for the prosecution to have to explain.
朱莉·伦德曼是一名刑事辩护律师，也曾担任过凶杀案检察官，她作为《48小时》的顾问审阅了此案。
Julie Rendleman, a criminal defense attorney and former homicide prosecutor, is a forty eight hours consultant who reviewed the case.
这等于给辩方专家留下了空间，让他们可以站出来说：这些错误实在太严重了。
It left, in a sense, open for an expert on the defense side to kind of jump in and say, these mistakes are so overwhelming.
我们不得不开始质疑这个案子的方方面面。
We have to start to question everything about this case.
丹尼尔·雅各布的审判变成了一场专家之间的较量，五名医生出庭作证，讨论维奥莱特死亡的原因和方式，其中包括检方请来的一名新任副法医，他支持颈部压迫导致窒息的结论。
Daniel Yacobbe's trial became a battle of experts with five doctors testifying about how and why Violet died, including a new deputy medical examiner brought in by prosecutors who agreed with the finding of asphyxia due to neck compression.
但是，医生。
But Doctor.
辛斯博士告诉陪审团，他认为维奥莱特的死因其实是脑干里一种罕见的血管团块，叫做动静脉畸形，简称AVM。
Sins told the jury that he believed Violet's death was instead caused by a rare mass of blood vessels in her brainstem called an arteriovenous malformation or AVM.
这里就是位于第四脑室的动静脉畸形。
This is an arteriovenous malformation here that's in the fourth ventricle.
你认为这个才是导致维奥莱特死亡的原因？
This is what you think contributed to Violet's death?
是的。
Yes.
他说，自己是在维奥莱特脑干的一张显微切片上发现了这个问题。
He says he spotted the problem in this microscopic slide of Violet's brain stem.
根据医生的说法。
According to Doctor.
西姆斯，那个动静脉畸形引发了出血，让薇洛特变得神志不清。
Sims, the AVM had hemorrhage causing Violet to become disoriented.
她摇摇晃晃地走着，撞上栏杆后就翻了过去。
She's stumbling around and she slammed into the railing before she went over the railing.
辩护方展示了一张照片，把伤口的痕迹和栏杆上的星形图案重叠在一起。
The defense presented a photo superimposing the abrasion against a star shaped design on the railing.
医生。
Doctor.
西姆斯说，这两者完全吻合。
Sims says it's a match.
这种有特殊纹路的伤非常罕见，和图案完全对得上。
This is a very unusual patterned injury and fits it perfectly.
薇洛特会不会是因为突发疾病才失去平衡，跌下去的？
Is this at all possible that Violet could have died because of a medical event and fallen down?
对我来说，不可能。
For me, no.
我仔仔細細檢查了每一寸欄杆，根本找不到任何東西從上面翻過去的物理證據。
I went up and down every inch of that railing and there's absolutely no physical evidence to show that anything went over that railing.
我觀察的是屍體。
I look at the body.
這些才是實實在在的證據，能直接告訴我真相。
Those are things that are hard evidence that speaks to me.
檢察官謝恩·邁克爾認為，醫生。
Prosecutor Shane Michael argued that Doctor.
西姆斯只是挑選了對他有利的證據，並否認了他對這道異常擦傷成因的推論。
Sims simply cherry picked the evidence and disputes his theory about the cause of that odd abrasion.
他根本不知道那個星形圖案的具體尺寸。
He didn't know the dimensions of the star.
如果你摔下去，下巴撞上金屬，不可能只留下一道擦傷。
If you were to fall and smack your chin on a piece of metal, you would not expect an abrasion.
你應該看到的是淤青才對。
You'd expect to see bruising.
你可能会看到伤口或者流血。
You might see a cut, bleeding.
他说维奥莱特患有骨质疏松，骨头变弱了。
And he says Violet had osteopenia, a weakening of the bones.
这位67岁的女士，除非像瑜伽课里的眼镜蛇式那样，背部弓起来贴着地面，否则根本不可能让下巴正好碰到那个位置。
The 67 year old woman would have had to have been on the floor with her back arched like in a, you know, yoga class, cobra pose to get her chin flush with that.
那你认为她下巴上的V形痕迹是怎么来的？
What do you think then caused that V mark on her chin?
是她儿子勒死她的。
Her son strangling her.
检方的放射科专家也作证说，如果维奥莱特真是从栏杆上摔下去的，应该会看到更严重的伤势。
The prosecution's radiologist also testified that if Violet had fallen from the railing, he would expect to see more catastrophic injuries.
没有颅骨骨折。
There was no skull fracture.
她的手臂也没有任何骨折。
There were no fractures in her arms.
她的腿上也没有骨折。
There were no fractures in her legs.
骨盆也没有骨折。
There was no pelvic fracture.
地上没有任何东西能表明她是从大约四米高的地方摔到大理石地面上的。
There was nothing on the floor that would be consistent with falling from approximately 13 feet onto a marble floor.
其他医生作证说，她没有脑出血，也没有发现动静脉畸形，包括那位制作了所有切片的神经病理学家。
The other doctors testified there was no brain hemorrhage, nor did they say they saw an AVM, including the neuropathologist who created the very slides Doctor.
西姆斯正是依据这些切片形成他的观点。
Sims used to form his opinion.
两位医学专家对维奥莱特·亚科比的死因各执一词，这难道不构成合理怀疑吗？
The fact that you have dueling medical experts who can't agree on how Violet Yacoby died, doesn't that add up to reasonable doubt?
确实可能。
It can.
如果你能让陪审团相信她是自然死亡，那么丹尼尔·亚科比就不构成犯罪。
If you can convince the jury to believe that she died of natural causes, then Daniel Yacoby is not guilty of a crime.
检察官肖恩·迈克尔通过丹尼尔·雅科比留下的证据链，证明他与母亲的关系在2017年10月已彻底破裂，而对家族约一千三百万美元遗产的贪婪，驱使他策划了杀害紫罗兰的阴谋。
Prosecutor Shane Michael used the trail of evidence left by Daniel Yacoby to show that his relationship with his mother had reached a breaking point in October 2017 and that greed for the family fortune worth an estimated $13,000,000 had fueled his plot to kill Violet.
你相信他是想提前拿到遗产，才动手杀了自己的母亲吗？
Do you believe that he killed his mother because he wanted his inheritance early?
是的。
Yes.
辩护方不认同这种说法。
The defense disputes that.
雅科比当时正在购置一家新的牙科诊所，并刚成功获得了一笔一百万美元的贷款。
Yacoby was in the process of buying a new dental practice and had recently secured a million dollar loan.
尽管如此，他的前妻在庭上承认，他们一直过着超出收入的生活，而肖恩·迈克尔也引用了雅科比自己的话作为佐证。
Still, his now ex wife admitted in court they had lived beyond their means, and Shane Michael pointed to Yacoby's own statements.
他经常提起自己缺钱，总想着怎么赚更多钱。
He was regularly talking about his need for money and need to make more money.
一位家族朋友作证说，在紫罗兰去世前几周，雅科比曾向他咨询过遗产税的问题。
A family friend testified that Yacoby had asked him about inheritance tax a couple of weeks before Violet's death.
他早就开始酝酿杀害母亲的想法了。
The ideation and thought of killing his mom had been building.
检察官还展示了一条时间线，记录了雅科比从2017年8月起的网络搜索记录，称这些搜索暴露了他谋杀母亲并伪造现场的计划。
The prosecutor also presented a timeline of Yacoby's online searches going back to August 2017 that he said revealed Yacoby's plan to murder his mother and stage the scene.
他一直在搜寻非正常死亡案例、死亡统计数据，还有锁喉、锁喉造成的淤青、从楼梯上摔下来之类的，想找到一种能转移怀疑的方法。
He was searching unexplained deaths, death statistics, things like choke holds, bruises caused by choke holds, falling downstairs, that he was trying to figure out a way to deflect any suspicion that might be pointing toward him.
检方特别关注一段YouTube视频。
Of particular interest in the prosecution was a YouTube video.
这是后锁喉。
This is the rear naked choke.
演示一种叫后锁喉的技术。
Demonstrating what's known as a rear naked chokehold.
庭审时播放了这段视频。
They played it at trial.
这种锁喉方式完全可能造成和雅科比夫人照片中看到的相似的擦伤。
It's certainly the kind of chokehold that could cause abrasions similar to the ones that we saw in the photos of missus Yacoby.
检方推测，雅科比在从背后勒住薇洛蒂时，造成了她的脊椎和肋骨骨折。
The prosecution theorized that Yacoby caused the spinal and rib fractures while choking Violet from behind.
如果他是从背后勒她，那我们自然会认为他使出了全身力气。
If he's choking her from behind, you assume he's applying as much pressure as he can.
如果他把她举离地面，用髋部顶住她的后背，有很多方式都能对她的背部施加压力。
If he's lifting her off the ground, if he's got his hip in her back, there are any number of ways that you could apply force to her back.
您认为薇洛蒂·雅科比就是这样死的吗？
Do you believe that is how Violet Yacoby died?
是她的儿子亲手用胳膊勒死了自己的母亲吗？
That her son actually used his own arm to kill his mother?
我相信是的。
I do.
没错。
Yes.
调查员阿韦尔和施瓦茨表示，薇洛蒂指甲下发现的雅科比的DNA，证实了这一点。
And detectives Alwell and Schwartz say Yacoby's DNA under Violet's fingernails proves it.
你有没有注意到他身上有抓痕？
Did you notice any kind of scratches on him?
我们根本没留意。
We weren't looking.
DNA出现在她指甲底下是有原因的。
The DNA's under her fingernails for a reason.
他问DNA的事也不是随便问的。
He's asking about DNA for a reason.
他做过功课的。
He did the research.
这都是算计好的。
It was calculated.
施瓦茨警官自己也做了些分析，根据丹尼尔的iPhone脸书账号数据，显示丹尼尔在母亲遇害的时间点出现在她家里。
Detective Schwartz had done some calculations of his own using data from Daniel's iPhone Facebook account, and he says it places Daniel at his mother's house at the time he believes she was killed.
脸书记录里回传的数据里，有一项是经纬度坐标。
One of the things that came back in the Facebook records were latitude longitude coordinates.
施瓦茨用这些坐标调取了市区闭路电视和维奥莱特邻居们的安防摄像头录像。
Schwartz used those coordinates to pull video from the city's closed circuit cameras and security cameras from Violet's neighbors.
我们成功追踪了他一整天直到第二天的行动轨迹。
We were able to track his movement through the whole day into the next day.
这是丹尼尔·雅科比的白色捷豹，在10月9日比佛利山庄的车流中，就在检察官指控他监视母亲家之前。
That's Daniel Yacoby's white jaguar in Beverly Hills traffic on October 9 before the prosecutor describes him stalking his mother's house.
他至少在那条街上往返开了两三次。
He was driving up and down the street at least two or three times.
凌晨四点左右，丹尼尔·雅科比的车出现在隔壁邻居的监控里。
Around 04:00, Daniel Yacoby's car appeared on the next door neighbor's security footage.
几分钟后，这辆车又在维奥莱特家后巷的另一户家庭安防摄像头中出现了。
A few minutes later, it popped up again on another home security camera in the alley behind Violet's house.
简直像条鲨鱼。
Almost like a shark.
他在街区周围打转，还拐进了后巷。
He's circling the block, and he's going down the alley.
他就在附近停了下来，停在房子后头，不知为啥，他停住后又慢慢倒车。
He pulls up right around here just behind the residence, and for whatever reason, he stops, and then he slowly backs up.
他根本没下车，也没动后面那些垃圾桶。
He never gets out, and he's not moving the garbage cans back there.
他一直待在车里，估计是在盯着他妈妈家后院看。
He is in the car, presumably looking into the back of his mother's property.
然后他开车离开了，但Facebook的定位显示，那天晚上6点39分到7点48分，他一直在他妈妈家附近。
Then he drives away, but Facebook coordinates place him at his mother's house from 06:39PM until 07:48 that night.
他是怎么进屋的？
How he entered the house?
不清楚。
Don't know.
不知道他有没有按门铃。
Don't know if he rang the doorbell.
也不知道他是不是从侧面溜进去的。
Don't know if he snuck around the side.
检方认为，数据表明，丹尼尔到达时，薇奥莱特还活着。
What the data establishes, according to the prosecution, is that Violet was alive when Daniel arrived.
而他离开的时候，她已经死了。
And by the time he left, she was dead.
之后，雅科比直接开车回了家。
Afterwards, Yacoby drove straight home.
现在我们有了他家的监控摄像头画面。
Now we have his nest camera.
几乎精确到秒，你都能看到他走进门的样子。
And almost to the second, you're seeing him walk through the door.
他进门还不到四十五分钟，就开始搜索关于人体皮肤上残留指纹的信息。
Less than forty five minutes after walking in, he was typing in that search for latent fingerprints on human skin.
在发现他母亲尸体的二十二个多小时之前，他就已经在考虑现场可能留下什么证据了。
Twenty two plus hours before his mother's body was located, he was already thinking about what evidence might have been left behind at the scene.
肖恩·迈克尔说，这证明他有罪责意识。第二天早上，雅科比又回到现场，待了不到四分钟，然后就开车回家了。
It's evidence of consciousness of guilt, says Shane Michael, and Yacoby would do it again the following morning when he went back to the scene for less than four minutes and then drove back home.
大约凌晨一点，他通过Skype联系了一位金融投资人。
At around 01:00, he contacted a financial investor via Skype.
如果我搞到一家磨坊，我希望你来管。
If I get a mill, I'd want you to manage it.
一百万美元。
A million dollars.
在他母亲尸体被发现前六小时，他还觉得自己马上就要发财了。
And six hours before his mother's body is found, his belief was that he was coming into money.
2025年8月底，经过三周的证词，距离维奥莱特死亡将近八年，陪审团终于接手了这个案子。
In late August twenty twenty five, after three weeks of testimony and nearly eight years after Violet's death, the jury got the case.
如果他们判无罪，那这个人在某种程度上就是成功逃脱了谋杀罪。
If they come back not guilty, on some level, this guy has gotten away with murder.
经过两天、近五个半小时的审议，陪审团一致裁定：因谋财而犯一级谋杀罪。
After deliberating for nearly five and a half hours over two days, the jury was unanimous, guilty of first degree murder for financial gain.
这一判决意味着终身监禁，且不得假释。
It's a judgment that carries a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole.
这件事彻底毁了这个家庭。
This broke that family apart.
结局竟然是这样，真让人难过。
Very sad that it ended that way.
我为维奥莱特感到难过，也为丹尼尔感到难过。
I feel for Violet and I feel for Daniel.
你也为丹尼尔难过吗？
You feel for Daniel too?
我为他难过，是的。
I feel for him, yeah.
他到底是什么原因才做出这种事？
What in the world made him do that?

The blame game in this family went round and round.
血浓于水，这就是费里斯家的宿命。
