This is a category that I personally am very invested in, and so to see that mutual investment was very exciting. Now as you guys can tell by the title of today's episode, today we are talking about a man who has been coined the charmer.

他也被称为东区杀手和贝尔维尤杀手。今天，我们要讨论的不是别人，正是乔治·拉塞尔。那么，话不多说，让我们直接进入今天的主题。这个案件发生在华盛顿州的贝尔维尤。时间背景是1990年代，当时贝尔维尤的人口大约有98,000人。

He's also been known as the East Side killer and the Bellevue killer. Today, we are talking about none other than a man named George Russell. So with that being said, let's jump right on into it today. Now this case takes place in Bellevue, Washington. The time frame we're looking at is the nineteen nineties, and the population in Bellevue at that time was about 98,000 people.

我们将直接从1990年6月23日贝尔维尤当地麦当劳的这起案件开始。那是早班刚开始的时候，麦当劳的员工正准备开始一天的工作。其中一名员工负责将垃圾倒到后面的垃圾箱，在这个过程中，他发现垃圾箱后面有什么东西看起来不太对劲。走近一看，他发现垃圾箱后面躺着一具女性的尸体。他立即跑进去拨打了911，随后警方迅速赶到现场。

So we're going to jump right where this case begins in 06/23/1990 at the local McDonald's in Bellevue. It was the early morning hours of the morning shift where the employees at the McDonald's were getting ready to start their day. Now one of the employees did their job of taking out the garbage to the dumpster out back and in doing so, he stumbled across something that didn't quite look right laying behind the dumpster. Upon further look, once he got closer, he was able to see that behind the dumpster was a body of a woman laying dead on the ground. Now he immediately ran inside and called 911, and authorities arrived on the scene promptly afterwards.

警方到达现场后，封锁了这片区域，现在这里已经是犯罪现场。他们发现受害者仰面躺着，身上没有穿衣服，只有脖子上戴了一条项链。受害者看起来是一位20多岁、金发、身高约5英尺7英寸的白人女性。乍一看，警方无法确定这名女性是如何被杀的。但毫无疑问的是，地上的尸体是被刻意摆放过的。

Now when police arrived on the scene, they closed off the area, which was now a crime scene. And they were able to see that the victim was laying on her back without any clothing and only wearing a necklace around her neck. The victim appeared to be a white female in her mid to late 20s with blonde hair standing at about five feet seven inches tall. Now at first glance, police were not able to determine how exactly this woman was killed. However, what they were able to tell without any shadow of a doubt was that the body of the woman laying on the ground had been posed.

她的双腿交叉，双手交叉放在腹部，手里握着一个松果。最后，她的右眼上还放了一个塑料咖啡杯盖。尸体的摆放方式非常诡异，几乎像是被布置成类似放入棺材或准备下葬的样子。至于犯罪现场的其他证据，警方没有找到任何物理证据。没有血迹。

Her legs had been crossed over one another, and then her hands had been placed on her stomach crossed over, and she was holding a pine cone in her hands. Lastly, there was a plastic coffee cup lid that was placed over her right eye as well. Now it was very eerie the way that her body was posed because it almost appeared as if the body was being staged in a way that would be similar if she had been put into a coffin or getting ready for a burial. Now as far as any evidence around the crime scene goes, police were not able to find any physical evidence. There were no drops of blood.

在那个特定现场没有发现搏斗的痕迹。因此警方认为，她尸体被发现的那个垃圾箱后方更像是一个抛尸地点——由于缺乏更准确的描述——而非她实际遇害的现场。这引出了警方的下一个疑问：为何选择这个地点？凶手为何将她的尸体丢弃于此？她究竟遭遇了什么？

There were no signs of a struggle at that particular scene. So that led police to believe that where her body had been discovered behind this dumpster was more of a dumping spot, for lack of a better term, in and of itself, rather than the spot that she was actually killed at. Now this led police to the next question, which was why this particular spot? Why did the killer choose to drop her body off here? And what really happened to her?

尸检报告显示，法医判定死亡时间大约在尸体被发现前五小时，死因是扼颈窒息。法医还发现受害者头部侧面遭受重击，腹部被猛烈踢踹导致肝脏破裂。此外，她在生前和死后都遭到异物性侵。虽然从尸体上提取到某些DNA，但考虑到这是上世纪九十年代，DNA技术远不如现今发达。

Now, after an autopsy was conducted, the medical examiner concluded that the time of death was approximately five hours before the woman's body had been discovered and that the cause of death was strangulation. The medical examiner also discovered that the woman had a severe blow to the side of her head and she had also been kicked in the stomach so hard that it ruptured her liver. It was also found that the woman had been raped pre and postmortem with a foreign object. Now there was some DNA found on the woman's body. However, because we are talking about the nineteen nineties and DNA technology was obviously nowhere near as advanced as it is today.

因此当时还没有可供警方比对的DNA数据库系统。这些DNA样本只有在锁定嫌疑人后才能发挥作用——通过比对确认嫌疑人DNA是否与尸体上的匹配。此刻您或许在想：这名女性究竟是谁？

So because of that, there wasn't necessarily a database or anything that police could run the DNA through. There wasn't a system to do that yet. So the DNA that was found on the woman's body was only going to really be useful once police had a suspect. That way they would be able to confirm if the suspect's DNA matched the DNA found on the woman's body. Now you might be sitting here wondering, who is this woman?

1990年6月27日，即尸体被发现数日后，探员接到一起失踪人口报案。报案涉及一位名为玛丽·安·波尔雷奇的27岁女性。她的室友因超过两天未见其踪影而报警。探员让室友前来警局辨认，当看到死者佩戴的项链时，室友悲痛地确认那正是玛丽·安的物品。

Well, on 06/27/1990, just several days after the woman's body was discovered, detectives received a call that there was a missing person's report filed. The missing person's report was for a 27 year old woman named Mary Ann Polreich. Polreich. Mary Ann's roommate had filed the report after she hadn't seen or heard from her in at least two days. Detectives had the roommate come down to the station and showed her the necklace that the victim was found wearing.

玛丽·安成长于八口之家，家庭成员关系极为亲密。她有个雷打不动的传统——每周日都会探望父母。认识她的人都形容她开朗热情、甜美友善，热爱社交与朋友。

And sadly, the roommate was able to confirm that the necklace did in fact belong to Mary Anne, therefore confirming that she was their victim. Mary Anne grew up in a family of eight children, and they were all incredibly close. She had a tradition where she would go and visit with her parents every single Sunday, and she was described as being outgoing and incredibly welcoming and sweet. She loved her friends. She loved being social.

她性格活泼，任职于医疗器械分销公司。根据法医报告，可推定玛丽·安遇害于6月22日（周五）深夜。其朋友告诉探员，当晚玛丽·安很可能去了她最爱的城中餐馆——Papa Gallo's墨西哥风味餐厅。这家充满欢乐氛围的餐吧是她与朋友们的固定聚会点，警方随即前往调查是否有人能证实她周五晚的行踪。

She had a very bubbly personality, and she worked at a medical device distribution company. Now based off of the medical examiner's reports, it was safe to assume that Mary Ann was murdered in the late night hours of June 22, which was a Friday. Now Mary Anne's friends told detectives that on that Friday, Mary Anne more than likely went to her favorite spot in town, which was a Mexican restaurant called Papa Gallo's Cantina. Papa Gallo's was a fun restaurant bar vibe, and it was the central spot for Mary Anne and all of her friends. So once police learned this, they decided to go over to the Papa Gallo's restaurant and see if anyone could confirm that Mary Anne was there on that Friday night.

果然，餐厅员工确认了这个信息。作为常客，玛丽·安与多位调酒师和员工相熟，他们明确表示周五晚见过她。警方随后向员工询问了当晚玛丽·安的行为表现。

And lo and behold, they were able to do that. Mary Anne was a regular at the cantina. She knew a lot of the employees that worked there, some of the bartenders. And so they were able to confirm that they did see Mary Anne that Friday night. Police had talked to some of the employees there about Mary Ann's behavior that night.

据他们所说，玛丽·安那晚的行为与平常无异。玛丽·安向来是个非常善于交际的人，性格活泼开朗，那晚也不例外。她整晚都在与人交谈，接触了许多不同的人，看起来没有任何异常。尽管人们确认在帕帕加约餐厅整晚都见过玛丽·安，但最终没人目睹她离开。

And according to them, they said that Mary Ann's behavior was as normal as it ever was. Mary Ann was always a very social person. She was very bubbly, and this night was no different. She was being social, talking to a lot of different people throughout the night, and it didn't seem like anything was wrong. Now even though they were able to confirm that people did see Mary Anne throughout the night at Papagayo's, no one ended up seeing her leaving.

正因如此，无人知晓她是独自离开还是与他人同行，也不清楚她离开时的精神状态。这引发了更多疑问而非解答。不过警方确实在帕帕加约餐厅停车场找到了玛丽·安的车，并被告知该车自周五晚起就停在那里。这让警方怀疑玛丽·安可能是与他人一起离开，因为这样才能解释她当晚为何没开自己的车回家。由于缺乏目击者和监控录像，警方对玛丽·安当晚的遭遇及可能的同行者毫无头绪。而在玛丽·安遇害七周后，仅两英里外，1990年8月9日清晨，一名13岁女孩醒来发现她35岁的母亲卡罗尔·比斯并未像往常一样出门上班。

So because of this, no one knew if she had left by herself, if she left with someone else, what state of mind she was in when she was leaving. It really led to a lot more questions than it did answers. Now something that police were able to find, however, was Mary Anne's car in the parking lot of the Papagayo's restaurant, and they were told that it had been there ever since Friday night, which led police to wonder if that meant that Mary Anne had left with someone else because that would make sense as to why she didn't take her own car home that night. Now because there was a lack of witnesses and there being no surveillance footage, police really had no idea what happened to Mary Anne that night or who she could have possibly left with. And then seven weeks after the murder of Mary Anne and only two miles away on the morning of 08/09/1990, there was a 13 year old girl who had woken up in the morning and noticed that her mom, 35 year old Carol Beath, hadn't left for work that day as she typically did.

卡罗尔的女儿走到母亲卧室门前敲门，却未得到回应。于是她推开门，映入眼帘的是骇人一幕：卡罗尔赤裸身体躺在床上，头部被枕头盖住，被发现时只穿着一双红色高跟鞋。

Carol's daughter went over to her bedroom door and knocked, however, didn't receive any answer. So she went ahead and opened the door. And when she did, she discovered a horrific scene. Carol's daughter walked into her mom's room and saw Carol laying on her bed with her head covered by a pillow without any clothes. Carol was only wearing a pair of red high heels when her body was discovered.

与玛丽·安相似，卡罗尔的尸体也被刻意摆成极具暗示性的姿势：双腿张开，膝盖弯曲使脚跟相触，体内还插着一把步枪。卡罗尔的女儿立即拨打911，警方赶到现场。

And similarly to Mary Anne, Carol's body had also been posed in a very suggestive way. Her legs were spread. However, her knees were bent so that her heels were touching each other. And along with that there had been a rifle inserted inside of her. Now immediately, Carol's daughter called 911 and police arrived on the scene.

警方移开卡罗尔脸上的枕头后，发现她头部遭受多次重击。与玛丽·安案发现场几乎无血迹不同，卡罗尔的卧室血迹斑斑——床垫、枕套、灯罩、墙壁、梳妆台到处都溅满鲜血。

And when they got there, they removed the pillow from Carol's face and noticed numerous blows to Carol's head. Now unlike Mary Anne's murder where there was not a lot of blood found at the crime scene, this was the total opposite. There was blood everywhere in Carol's bedroom. There was blood on the mattress, on the pillowcases, on the lampshades, on the walls, on the dresser. There was blood everywhere.

警方明确意识到这是场极其暴力的犯罪，卡罗尔曾为生存激烈反抗。通过家属警方得知，卡罗尔是贝尔维尤多家酒吧的调酒师，作为两个女儿（9岁和13岁）的母亲，孩子是她生命的全部。认识她的人都称她是位无私奉献的母亲和难得的好友。

Now it was clear to police that this was a very violent scene and that Carol fought for her life. Now police learned through Carol's family that Carol was a bartender who had worked at several different locations throughout Bellevue. Carol was a mother of two daughters. She had a nine year old daughter and a 13 year old daughter, and her children were her absolute world. She was known to be a devoted mother and an amazing friend to everyone that knew her.

卡罗尔的案件尤其令警方感同身受，因为负责此案的中尉也有个9岁女儿，恰巧与卡罗尔的小女儿是好友。不仅如此，凶案发生前两周，中尉的女儿刚参加过卡罗尔小女儿的睡衣派对。尸检显示卡罗尔死因是头部遭受钝器重击，约60次击打中部分发生在死后。警方很快确认玛丽·安与卡罗尔的谋杀案存在关联。

Now Carol's case in particular definitely hit a little closer to home for police because the lieutenant on this case also had a nine year old daughter who just so happened to be really good friends with Carol's nine year old daughter. And not only that, the lieutenant's daughter had just attended a slumber party for Carol's nine year old only about two weeks prior to the murder. So like I said, this case definitely hit a little bit closer to home for police for that reason. Now during the autopsy, the medical examiner concluded that the cause of death for Carol was blunt force trauma to the head and that Carol had received approximately 60 blows to her head with a heavy object, and those blows continued after she died. Now it didn't take long for police to piece together that Mary Anne and Carol's murders were definitely connected.

贝尔维尤本身是一个犯罪率极低的社区，但短短几周内接连发生两起残忍谋杀案，且受害者都以怪异姿势被摆放，这绝非巧合。警方开始真正担忧接下来会发生什么。当时侦探们在勘查犯罪现场时与卡罗尔13岁的女儿交谈过，她告诉警方，母亲遇害当晚她正躺在自己房间的床上，结果听到走廊传来沉重的脚步声。这位13岁少女声称当时卧室门是开着的，她看见一个男性身影拿着手电筒走过走廊。卡罗尔当时确实有个叫迈克的男友——我们稍后会提到他——但迈克并不住在这栋房子里。

Bellevue in and of itself was a very low crime community, but to have two brutal murders within weeks of each other where both victims were bizarrely posed was no coincidence, and police started to really fear what was coming next. Now detectives did speak with Carol's 13 year old daughter while they were processing the crime scene, and she told them that the night that her mother was killed, she was in her room lying in her bed, and she ended up hearing some heavy footsteps walking down the hallway. Now the 13 year old daughter claimed that her bedroom door was open at the time, and she was able to see a male figure walking down the hall carrying a flashlight. Now Carol did have a boyfriend at the time named Mike, who we will get to in a moment. But Mike did not live in the house.

他只是偶尔来访。卡罗尔是单亲妈妈，所以深夜有男人在房子里走动相当反常。13岁女孩声称当她看到那个男性身影时，她假装睡着了。她闭上眼睛后，那个男人竟然停在她房间门口，用手电筒光束扫过她的眼睛，最后转身继续沿走廊离开。

He would just visit periodically. And Carol was a single mother. So to have a man walking through the house late at night was pretty unusual. Now the 13 year old claimed that when she saw the male figure, she pretended to be asleep. She closed her eyes, and the man actually stopped by her room and lit a flashlight and beamed the flashlight over her eyes before ultimately turning back around and continuing down the hall.

正如我前面提到的，卡罗尔确实有个叫迈克的男友。根据卡罗尔女儿的说法，虽然看到人影有点奇怪，但她下意识认为那就是迈克，因为没有理由觉得不是。一旦产生这个念头，她就闭眼睡去了。获得这条新线索后，警方迫切想询问迈克。通过询问卡罗尔的朋友们，警方得知她遇害时与迈克的关系确实存在紧张。

Now, like I mentioned earlier, Carol did have a boyfriend named Mike. And according to Carol's daughter, she claimed that when she saw the figure, while it was a little unusual, she just assumed that it was Mike because she had no other reason to believe that it wasn't Mike. And once she thought that in her mind, she just closed her eyes and went to sleep. So now with this new information, police definitely wanted to speak to Mike. And after talking to some of Carol's friends, police learned that there definitely was some tension between Carol and Mike at the time of her murder.

警方将迈克带回问讯。迈克承认他和卡罗尔当时关系紧张，经常争吵，有时冲突会非常激烈。问询过程中，警方直截了当问他：是你杀了卡罗尔吗？迈克既没否认也没承认，而是看着警察说了一句原话：'我不可能那么做'。

Police were able to bring Mike in for questioning. And upon doing so, Mike claimed that he and Carol definitely were at a rocky point in their relationship. They did argue a lot, and sometimes the arguments got very, very heated. And during the questioning, police really just came straight out and asked Mike, did you kill Carol? And instead of saying no or yes, instead, Mike looked at police and said, quote, unquote, I couldn't have.

这个回答令警方震惊，因为面对谋杀指控时，正常人通常会直接否认。当被问及是否杀人时，标准回答都是'不，我没杀'。但迈克说'我不可能那么做'，这种含糊其辞立刻引起警方警觉，成为重大疑点。

Now when police heard this, they were definitely taken aback because this isn't the typical answer that you would hear from someone who was trying to defend themselves against a murder accusation. When someone's being questioned on whether or not they killed someone, typically, it's a no. Usually, people always are just flat out, no. I didn't. But the fact that Mike is saying, well, I couldn't have, it definitely left a little bit of vagueness that was a red flag and suspicious to police.

另一个引起警方怀疑的是，迈克提到自己是Papagayo's Cantina餐厅的常客。这正是玛丽·安妮生前最后出现的地方。因此警方高度警觉，对迈克做了背景调查——虽然没发现什么，但采集了他的DNA样本。由于当时没有证据能将迈克与两起谋杀案联系起来，警方只能放他离开。

Now something else that also raised suspicion for police was when Mike told them that he was a regular at the Papagayo's Cantina restaurant. Now, obviously, this was the same place where Mary Anne was last seen alive. So because of this, police started to really raise their suspicions. They ended up doing a background check on Mike, which they really didn't find anything when they did that, but they did collect his DNA. And because there was no evidence or physical evidence to connect Mike to the murder of Mary Anne or Carol at that point, Mike was free to go.

时间来到三周后的1990年8月31日，华盛顿州柯克兰市接到一起谋杀案报警电话。柯克兰距贝尔维尤仅五分钟车程。警方赶到现场后发现一名女性仰卧床上，身上有多处刀伤。与前两起案件相似，这具女尸也被刻意摆布——双手捧着《性爱之欢》书籍，喉咙里还插着性玩具。

So this brings us to three weeks later on 08/31/1990 when a 911 call was placed in Kirkland, Washington. Now Kirkland is only about five minutes away from Bellevue, and a 911 call was made to report a murder. Now when police arrived on the scene, they discovered a woman lying in her bed on her back, and it was clear that she had been stabbed many, many times. Now similar to the previous two murders, this woman's body was also staged. Placed in her hands was a book titled The Joy of Sex, and there was also a sex toy inserted into her throat.

这起谋杀案的受害者是24岁的安德里亚·莱文，大家也称她为兰迪。兰迪以善良、充满爱心著称。她的哥哥道格说，她只是想要‘像普通人一样生活、欢笑、相爱并慢慢变老’。据家人描述，兰迪经常光顾贝尔维尤地区的夜店，性格非常外向开朗。

Now the victim of this murder was 24 year old Andrea Levine, who is also known as Randy. Randy was known as a kind, loving person. Her brother Doug said that she simply just wanted to, quote, live, laugh, and love and grow old like a normal person, end quote. According to her family, Randy liked to frequent nightclubs in the Bellevue area. She was very social and outgoing.

她和同事们常去帕帕加约附近的一家鸡尾酒廊。尸检报告确认，兰迪全身共有超过200处伤口，死因是多重头部创伤。法医还发现刺伤均发生于死后，且她手指上有戒指留下的晒痕。家属证实兰迪确实长期佩戴一枚特定戒指。

Her and her coworkers would regularly go visit a cocktail lounge near Papagayo's. Now after Randy's autopsy, it was confirmed that all in all, she had over 200 wounds on her body and that she died from multiple head injuries. It was also determined that the stab wounds took place postmortem, so after Randy had already passed away. The medical examiner also noticed a tan line where a ring would have been on Randy's finger. And after talking with her family, they confirmed that Randy did wear a specific ring all of the time.

那是挚友赠送的戒指，她从不离身。警方在犯罪现场——兰迪的公寓里四处搜寻这枚戒指，却始终未能找到，由此推断凶手可能将其作为战利品带走。在勘察案发现场布兰迪的房间时，警方发现了散落的头发纤维并作为证据收集。

It was a ring given to her by her best friend, and she wore it constantly. And police looked high and low for this ring all throughout Randy's apartment, which is where the crime had occurred. However, they were unable to locate it, which made police believe that the killer must have taken the ring and kept it as a trophy. Now when canvassing Brandi's room in her apartment, which was obviously the crime scene, police were able to find some hair fibers laying around. So they collected that as evidence.

卡罗尔的案发现场同样发现了头发纤维。为此警方再次传讯卡罗尔的男友迈克，采集其头发样本比对，结果并不匹配。这意味着迈克并非嫌疑人，调查再次回到原点。由于案发时间距卡罗尔遇害仅数周，且兰迪尸体也被刻意摆放，警方确信他们正在追捕连环杀手。

And in Carol's crime scene, there were also hair fibers discovered. So because of this, police brought back in Mike, Carol's boyfriend, and took a hair sample from him to see if they matched. However, soon police realized that it was in fact not a match. And so because of this, this obviously meant that Mike was not their suspect, and police were really back to square one now. Now because of the time frame, it only being several weeks after Carol's murder, along with the fact that Randy's body was also posed, police were now convinced that they were hunting a serial killer.

此时侦探们邀请犯罪学家协助侧写凶手特征。犯罪学家分析认为，三名受害者死后遭受的伤害体现了凶手的极端愤怒。令人意外的是，专家推测凶手可能对女性怀有恐惧，通过虐尸发泄长期积压的怨恨，并断定凶手在被捕前不会停手。这段时间贝尔维尤社区笼罩在恐怖之中。

Now at this point, detectives brought in a criminologist with the help of building a profile to narrow down who this killer was. Now when this criminologist was brought in, they determined that the postmortem injuries that were inflicted on all three victims represented an anger and a rage that the killer had. The criminologist also theorized that surprisingly enough, this killer was probably terrified of women and was able to take out all of that built up angst and rage on them after they were dead. And the criminologists also determined that whoever was responsible for this was not going to stop until they were caught. Now the community of Bellevue was absolutely terrified during this time.

如前所述，贝尔维尤本是低犯罪率地区，如今却接连发生残忍凶案，民众惶惶不安。媒体将此杀手称为‘东区杀手’，亦称‘魅影杀手’或‘贝尔维尤杀手’，但无人知晓凶犯特征。直到1990年9月12日，911接线员接到女子罗宾·奥尔登堡的求救电话，声称有人正试图闯入其公寓。

As I mentioned, Bellevue was very typically a low crime area, and now a lot of people are being brutally and horrifically murdered, and no one knew why. Now the media named this killer, as I said in the beginning, the East Side killer with other nicknames being the charmer and the Bellevue killer, but no one had any idea what to look for when it came to finding this murderer. Then on 09/12/1990, nine one one operators received a phone call this time from a woman herself who was begging for help. The woman claimed that someone had been trying to break in to her apartment. The woman who was on the 911 call was named Robin Oldenburg.

据罗宾陈述，当时她正在为周末旅行整理行李，突然听到敲门声。她回忆那敲门声异常坚决有力。虽然脑海中闪过在逃连环杀手的念头，但很快自我安慰是过度紧张，认为可能只是虚惊一场。

Now according to Robin, she had been packing for an upcoming weekend trip that she was going on. So she was just getting her belongings ready, making sure all of her bags were prepared and packed when all of a sudden Robin claimed that she heard a knock on her door. Now according to Robin, she remembered the knock sounding very firm and matter of fact. And Robin also said that when she heard the knock, the thought did come into her head about the serial killer that was on the run at the time. However, she quickly threw that thought out of her mind because she told herself that she was being paranoid and not to worry about it because it was probably nothing.

然而，就在她产生这个想法大约十五秒后，罗宾又听到一声敲击，这次来自她的窗户。罗宾声称，当她听到第二次敲击时，她立刻想到要拨打911报警。当时罗宾一直与911接线员保持通话，等待警方到来。当第一位警官——名叫汤姆·贝克的警官——驾车进入公寓小区准备处理警情时，他迎面遇上一辆正试图驶离小区的白色大众汽车。贝克警官示意该车停下后，走向驾驶座车窗。

However, in the time frame that she was able to have that thought about fifteen seconds later, Robin heard another knock, this time coming from her window. And Robin claimed right when she heard that second knock, she immediately had the thought to call 911. Now Robin remained on the phone with a 911 operator while she was waiting for police. And when the first officer, an officer named Tom Baker, pulled into the apartment complex to go assess the situation, He came in direct path with a white Volkswagen car that was trying to drive out of the complex. Now officer Baker flagged down the car and stopped the vehicle, and he went over to the driver's side window.

车内男子摇下车窗。当车窗降下时，贝克警官发现司机竟是个熟人——名叫乔治·拉塞尔的男子。乔治立刻对警官说了句'嗨，汤姆'。贝克警官询问乔治是否与刚接到的窥窗报警有关，但乔治当即矢口否认。

And a man inside rolled down this window. Now when the man rolled down his window, officer Baker was able to see that the man in the car was actually someone he was familiar with. It was a man named George Russell. Now immediately, George looked at the officer and said, quote, unquote, hi, Tom. Officer Baker asked George if he had anything to do with the 911 call that had just came in about someone looking through the windows of an apartment, but George immediately denied it.

贝克警官随即命令乔治下车并出示驾照，同时通过无线电联系警局对乔治进行背景核查。查询过程中，贝克警官发现乔治确实因冒充警察的罪名被通缉，于是当场将其逮捕。这次逮捕与窥视罗宾公寓、敲门骚扰等行为暂时无关。

Officer Baker then instructed George to get out of the vehicle and hand over his license. And during that time, officer Baker radioed in to other police at the station to do a background check on George. And upon doing so is when officer Baker learned that George actually did have a warrant out for his arrest at that time for impersonating a police officer. So George was arrested right then and there. And his arrest had nothing to do at the time with looking through Robin's apartment or knocking on her door or harassing her.

逮捕完全基于这项未执行的通缉令。当贝克警官押送乔治时，其他警员抵达罗宾公寓展开搜查，发现她的纱门已被拆除，证实有人正试图闯入。警员询问罗宾是否认识乔治·拉塞尔，罗宾闻言震惊——她不仅认识乔治，更清楚此人劣迹斑斑。罗宾称初次遇见乔治是在某次聚会上，当时他们相谈甚欢。

It all had to do with this outstanding warrant. Now while officer Baker was transporting George Russell, other officers arrived to Robin's apartment and canvassed the area. And upon doing so, they saw that Robin's screen door had been removed, confirming that whoever was doing this was in the process of breaking in to Robin's home. Officers then asked Robin if she knew a man named George Russell, and Robin was immediately taken back because she actually did know George personally, but also knew that George Russell was nothing but bad news and trouble. Robin claimed that the first time she met George was at a party that they both attended where they socialized and chitchatted and got to know one another.

罗宾描述乔治极具魅力且风度翩翩，拥有令人如沐春风的谈吐能力，能让交谈对象感到备受重视。他幽默风趣，善于调动气氛。

And Robin described George as a very charismatic and charming man. He had a very smooth personality to him. He was really able to engage in conversation and made people feel important. He was very funny. He was very engaging.

总体而言，他确实展现出圆滑迷人的个性。但随着时间推移，罗宾声称逐渐发现了乔治阴暗的一面。此时警方已将乔治带回警局，深入调查其前科记录，证实了罗宾关于乔治劣迹的说法——他多次进出金县监狱，并有非法入侵的前科。

And overall, again, just had a very smooth, charming personality. However, over time, Robin claimed that she started to see a much darker side to George Russell. Now at this point, police brought George down to the station, and they were doing some more digging into his past. And it was then that they were really able to confirm what Robin was saying about George having a very troublesome history. George had spent a lot of time in and out of the King County Jail, and he also had a background in breaking and entering.

若您记得前文提及贝克警官与乔治相识，或许会好奇其中缘由。原来贝克警官曾在Papa Gallo's餐厅担任外场保安，而乔治是该店常客。贝克警官表示，乔治经常出来与执勤保安攀谈，其行为明显带有刻意结交的意图——比起在店内用餐，乔治更愿意花大量时间在外与保安们闲聊。

Now if you remember how I mentioned earlier that officer Tom Baker and George were familiar with each other, you might be sitting there wondering why. Well, the reason that George and officer Baker knew each other was because officer Baker had previously worked at the Papa Gallo's restaurant as outside security, and George was a regular to Papa Gallo's. Officer Baker said that while he would work security there, George would often come outside and talk to him or the other security officers that were working at the time. And it was very clear to officer Baker and the other security guards that George was very much trying to be friend them. He tried to engage in different conversations with them and spent a decent amount of time outside talking to the security guards rather than being inside, you know, enjoying the restaurant or eating or drinking or what have you.

当时贝克警官声称乔治确实拥有极具魅力的个性，与保安们相处时总是活泼开朗。因此贝克警官当时并未过多怀疑。而在乔治的警方问询过程中，他再次试图施展同样的策略——试图与警察套近乎，表现得圆滑老练，但警方并不买账。他们最终直截了当地质问乔治是否对玛丽·安、卡罗尔或兰迪的谋杀案负责，乔治坚决否认与这些案件有任何关联。

Now officer Baker claimed that George did have a very charming personality, and he was very bubbly with the security guards. So officer Baker never thought too much into it at the time. Now during George's police interview, George again really tried to pull these same tactics. He tried to befriend the police and pulled the smooth guy act, but police were not really buying it. They ended up flat out asking George if he was responsible for the murders of either Mary Anne or Carol or Randy, and George adamantly denied having any involvement in it.

不过他承认自己确实通过Papagayo餐厅认识玛丽·安和兰迪，并在镇上偶遇过他们。但他坚称不认识卡罗尔。此时乔治仍保持着开朗圆滑的伪装，但当警方要求他提供头发样本和DNA时，气氛骤然转变。据参与审讯的警官描述，这个问题刚提出，乔治的整个神态就发生了变化。

However, what he did say was that he did know Mary Anne and Randy from the Papagayo's restaurant and seeing them out and about around town. However, he denied knowing Carol. Now, again, George was putting on the bubbly smooth act. However, there was a big shift in energy right when police asked George to submit hair samples and DNA. According to the police that were conducting the interview, right when that question was asked, George's entire demeanor had changed.

警方称他那种迷人魅惑的气质瞬间消失，变得异常沉默。他向后靠坐在椅子上，双臂交叉胸前说道：'你们不觉得该有其他人在场吗？'警方立即明白这是乔治在要求律师介入，审讯随即中止。乔治拒绝向当局提供任何DNA或头发样本。尽管此时乔治身负未执行的逮捕令，但拘留期仅有九十天。

Police claimed that the charming, charismatic personality immediately turned off, and George got very, very quiet. He sat back in his chair, and he crossed his arms over his chest and said, quote, don't you think somebody else should be in the room, end quote. Now police, this obviously to them meant that George was asking for an attorney, and that is when the interview stopped. George refused to give any of his DNA or any hair samples over to the authorities. Now even though George had an outstanding warrant at this time, it was only a ninety day hold.

这意味着乔治只需服完这九十天刑期就能获释。警方因此开始与时间赛跑，他们清楚一旦期满释放乔治，极可能出现新的受害者。为此警方重返Papagayo餐厅，询问员工能否将乔治·拉塞尔与任何受害者联系起来。最终一名保安透露，在玛丽·安最后现身的6月22日当晚，乔治也曾出现在餐厅。

So George was only going to be in jail for those ninety days, and then he was going to be released. But that meant that police were really working against the clock to close this case. They knew that once those ninety days were up, George was going to be released, and they could not let that happen because they were certain that if they did, they would have another victim on their hands. So because of this, police started by going back to the Papagayo's restaurant and were asking people who were working there if they could connect George Russell to any of the victims. Now they ended up talking to a security guard who said that the night that Mary Anne was last seen at Papagayo's, which was June 22, George was also at Papagayo's that night.

更关键的是，保安声称目睹乔治当晚与一名女性一同离开。虽无法确认该女子就是玛丽·安，但其体貌特征与玛丽·安高度吻合。保安还向侦探补充道，乔治那晚并非独自前往餐厅。

And not only that, he claimed that he saw George leave with a woman. Now the security guard was not able to confirm whether or not this woman was Mary Anne. However, he did say that the physical description was very similar to what Mary Ann looked like. Now along with that, the security officer also told the detectives that George did not go to Papagayo's alone that night. He did not go by himself.

当晚乔治是与名叫史密提的朋友同行。掌握这条新线索后，警方立即追查史密提的下落。顺利找到史密提后，他非常配合调查，向警方陈述在玛丽·安遇害当晚，他与乔治同乘卡车前往Papagayo餐厅。深夜时分乔治向他借车，声称要送一位女士回家。

He went to Papagayo's that night with a friend of his named Smitty. So now with this new information, police want to track down Smitty to see what he knows about that night. So police were actually able to track down Smitty, and he was very open in talking to them. He told police that on the night of Mary Anne's murder, him and George went to Papagayo's together in Smitty's truck. And then later on in the night, George approached Smitty and had asked him if it would be okay if he borrowed Smitty's truck to take a girl home with him.

出于义气，史密提欣然应允。他原以为乔治送完人后会返回接他，但乔治再未现身，史密提只得另寻方式回家。直到次日乔治归还卡车时，才编造借口称载送的女孩在车上呕吐，导致车厢气味难闻。

Now Smitty wanted to be a good friend. He thought that he was helping a friend out, and he told George that it was totally fine if he took the girl home in his truck. Now Smitty also told police that he was under the impression that George would be returning to Papagayo's later that night to pick Smitty up. However, he never did, and Smitty had to find his own ride home that night because George left in his truck. Smitty claimed he didn't see George until the next day when George had brought Smitty's truck back over to Smitty's house and had told Smitty some story about how the girl he took home had thrown up in the car and that the car was smelling really bad because of it.

于是斯米蒂不得不去清洗车辆，因为有个女孩在车里吐了。斯米蒂说，当他听到这个消息时，他走向自己的车，立刻感到一阵恶心。因为据他描述，车里的气味不像呕吐物之类的，反而更像是血腥味。基于这一信息，斯米蒂将卡车交给了警方，警方对车辆进行了血迹和DNA检测。他们彻底拆解了这辆卡车。

So Smitty was going to have to get the car cleaned because the girl had gotten sick in the car. Now Smitty said that when he heard this, he walked over to his car and immediately felt a wave of nauseousness. Because according to him, the smell in the car did not smell like throw up or vomit or any of the sorts, but in fact, it smelled like blood. So with this information, Smitty handed over his truck to police, and police had the truck processed for any blood or DNA that could possibly be in this truck. They took this truck apart.

最终，他们在卡车座椅上发现了一块深红色污渍，并将其送往法医实验室。在法医实验室处理这些证据的同时，警方开始调查乔治·拉塞尔的过往，试图更全面地了解他的背景。乔治于1958年4月出生于佛罗里达州，父母是乔伊斯和老乔治。他出生后不久父母便分居，母亲将他留给祖母抚养，自己则与新任丈夫搬到了华盛顿州的默瑟岛生活。

And, ultimately, they were able to discover a dark red stain on the seat of the truck that was sent off to the forensics lab. Now while the forensics lab was processing everything, police then started doing some digging into George Russell's past. They wanted to get a better idea of who George Russell was. George was born in Florida in April 1958 to his parents, Joyce and George senior. His parents separated very soon after he was born, and his mother left him with his grandmother to live in Mercer Island, Washington with her new husband.

几年后乔治搬去与母亲同住，但那时母亲已与新丈夫生下一个女儿。乔治的妹妹备受宠爱，而他却遭受冷落、嘲笑和遗弃，这让他内心充满愤怒与嫉妒。到16岁时，乔治仅与继父同住——母亲抛弃了他，而继父后来又娶了新妻子。

Now George moved out to be with them a few years later, but by that point, his mom had a daughter with her new husband. And while George's sister was absolutely adored and doted on, George was pushed away and ridiculed and abandoned, leaving him with great anger and jealousy. Now by the time George was 16 years old, he was only living with his stepfather at the time. His mother had abandoned him and left him with his stepfather. And his stepfather had ended up getting married to a new woman.

据说当这位新继母搬进来后，乔治对她产生了病态迷恋，开始跟踪监视她。情况恶化到继父因此将乔治赶出家门。被驱逐后，乔治回到佛罗里达与姑妈们同住。警方认为，从谋杀案的心理学角度分析，这段经历串联起了关键线索——乔治将对母亲的深刻恨意和遭遗弃的愤怒发泄在了这些女性受害者身上。

And apparently, when this new woman moved into the house, George grew a hyper fixation on his new stepmother and began spying on her and following her around. And it became so bad that the stepfather ended up kicking George out of the house because of it. After getting kicked out of the house, George moved back to Florida to live with his aunts. Now when police learned this, this very much connected the dots for them looking at this from a psychological standpoint of these murders. Police believe that George was taking out his rage on these women because he had such a deep hatred for his mom and the fact that she abandoned him.

警方还认为，受害者遭受的暴力和现场布置是乔治表达"女性毫无价值"的方式。此时媒体和公众已获悉警方拘留了嫌疑人乔治·拉塞尔。在等待法医结果期间，1990年12月警方接到一通电话——

They also believed that the brutality and the staging of the victims was George's way of showing victims that they had no value and that women as a whole had no value. Now at this point, the media and the public were made aware that police had a suspect in custody and that this suspect was George Russell. That became public knowledge. They also knew that police were now kind of in a limbo period waiting for forensic results to come back. And in that time frame, police ended up receiving a phone call in December 1990.

来电女子声称认识乔治本人。她表示原定8月底与乔治约会（正值兰迪遇害时段），但被放了鸽子。她说自己当时非常愤怒，为此痛斥了乔治。

And this phone call was from a woman who claimed that she actually personally knew George. She claimed that her and George were meant to go on a date in late August, which was right around the time of Randy's murder. However, George stood her up. Now according to this woman, she said that once she was stood up, she was very, very upset about it. She had a lot of anger about it.

据该女子所述，乔治表现得极为愧疚，主动提出改期约会，而重约的时间就在兰迪遇害后不久。赴约时，乔治为表歉意送了她一枚戒指作为礼物。

She was really mad about it. And she went off on George, so to speak, about how upset she was and that she was not happy. Now according to this woman, she claimed that George was extremely apologetic and asked to reschedule their date. And the date that he rescheduled for was right after Randy's murder. Now the woman claimed that when she showed up to the rescheduled date, George gave her a gift as sort of a peace offering for standing her up, and that that gift was a ring.

现在这名女子描述了那枚戒指，而她给出的描述与兰迪的戒指几乎一模一样。正如我之前提到的，兰迪手指上有一道因长期佩戴挚友赠送的戒指而形成的晒痕，兰迪的家人向警方提供了该戒指的详细描述。而根据这名女子的说法，她所见的戒指与描述完全吻合。于是警方当即要求该女子将戒指带到警局以确认是否为兰迪所有。因为若能证实这枚戒指属于兰迪，它将成为本案的关键证据。

Now the woman described the ring, and the description that this woman gave was almost identical to what Randy's ring looked like. Like I mentioned earlier, Randy had a tan line on her finger from a ring that she always wore that her best friend had given her, and the family of Randy was able to give police a description of what that ring looked like. And according to this woman, it was the exact same description. So at this point, police asked the woman if she would bring the ring into the police station so they could confirm it was Randy's. Because if police were able to confirm that this ring was Randy's, that was the smoking gun in this case.

如果警方能确认乔治给这名女子的戒指就是兰迪的，便能将他与犯罪现场联系起来。但遗憾的是，事情并非如女子直接带戒指到警局那么简单——她告诉警方自己已不再持有这枚戒指，因为她将其转赠给了一位正搭便车前往佛罗里达的朋友。这对警方而言无疑是令人沮丧的消息，因为这无异于大海捞针。一个搭便车前往佛罗里达的朋友？警方该如何追踪此人？

If police were able to confirm that this ring that George gave this woman was the same ring as Randy's, that puts him at the scene of the crime. Now, unfortunately, this was not as simple as the woman just bringing in the ring for police because the woman told police that she actually did not have the ring anymore because she gave it to a friend of hers who was now hitchhiking to Florida. So for police, this was obviously discouraging to hear because for them, it felt like finding a needle in a haystack. This woman has a friend who was hitchhiking to Florida. How are police going to be able to track down this friend?

所幸该女子向警方提供了其朋友的联系方式，警方得以联系到其家人。当警方说明原委后，家属表示他们的儿子会不定期来电（并非每日报平安），警方再次强调了联系其儿子获取戒指线索的重要性。

But luckily, the woman did give police the friend's contact information, and police were able to reach out to the friend's family. And when police reached out to the family, they asked if they had heard from their son, and they explained the whole situation. And according to the family, the son would very much call on and off. It wasn't an everyday check-in. And police explained, again, why it was so significant that they got ahold of their son so they could talk about this ring.

家属向警方保证下次儿子来电时，会确保他联系当局。果然数日后，该男子致电家人并得知此事。可以想象当他听闻自己可能握有连环杀手案的关键证物（即兰迪的戒指）时的震惊。最终警方联系上该男子时，他坦言已将戒指连同自己的吉他典当给了佛罗里达基韦斯特一家名为"山姆大叔当铺"的店铺。

Now the family did assure police that the next time their son called, they would make sure that he knew to get in contact with the authorities. And lo and behold, several days later, the son called his family, and the family made him aware of what was going on. Now you can imagine this man's surprise when he now hears that he is possibly holding the missing puzzle piece to a serial killer case, which, again, is Randy's ring. Now police did end up finally getting in contact with this man, and he tells police that he pawned the ring off. He told police that he pawned the ring off along with a guitar of his to a pawn shop in Key West, Florida called Uncle Sam's Pawn Shop.

此刻警方不敢有丝毫耽搁——他们担忧戒指可能已被转售或拆解。侦探们毫不犹豫立即飞往该当铺。

Now at this point, police wasted no time because they, again, were worried that at this point, the ring was gone. It could have been sold. It could have been taken apart. They did not know what to expect. But without any hesitation, detectives hopped on a plane and flew down to the pawnshop.

当时兰迪的父亲恰居佛罗里达，得以在当铺与侦探会合。令人惊喜的是，众人抵达山姆大叔当铺后发现戒指尚未售出。经兰迪父亲确认，这正是其女儿的戒指。这向警方确证了乔治曾持有兰迪戒指的事实。

And Randy's father actually lived in Florida at the time, so he was able to meet detectives at this pawnshop. And to everyone's surprise, when they all arrived to uncle Sam's, they found out that the ring had not been sold. It was still in the pawnshop. And upon looking at the ring, Randy's father was able to confirm that that was his daughter's ring. Now this was confirmation for police that George did have Randy's ring.

在此确认后不久，法医实验室证实史密提卡车内的血迹确属玛丽·安。基于这些证据，乔治·拉塞尔被指控犯有三项谋杀罪。他拒不认罪，案件进入庭审阶段。辩护方试图以每位受害者的致死方式不同为由（玛丽·安被勒死，卡罗尔遭受钝器伤，兰迪则同时有头部伤和刺伤）主张凶手应为不同作案者。

Now shortly after this confirmation, the forensics lab came back and were able to confirm that the blood found in Smitty's truck was in fact Mary Ann's blood. And so because of this, George Russell was charged with all three murders. He pled not guilty, and the case did go to trial. And the defense did try to argue that because the method of killing was different for every victim, Mary Anne was strangled, Carol had blunt force trauma, and Randy also had head injuries alongside with stabbing. The defense tried to claim that the murders had to have been done by different killers because they had different methods of killing.

然而，这一论点在审判中确实站不住脚。经过长达一个月的审判，陪审团审议了近二十二个小时。1991年10月18日，判决出炉，乔治·拉塞尔被判犯有三项谋杀罪，被判处两项无期徒刑外加二十九年，且不得假释。乔治·拉塞尔目前被关押在Column Bay惩教中心，他将在那里度过余生，最终为所犯下的谋杀罪死在狱中。各位，这就是乔治·拉塞尔的案件。

However, this argument really did not stand up in trial. And after a month long trial, the jury deliberated for almost twenty two hours. And on 10/18/1991, the verdict was in, and George Russell was found guilty of all three murders and was sentenced to two life sentences plus twenty nine years without the possibility of parole. George Russell is currently being incarcerated at the Column Bay Correction Center where he will carry out the rest of his life sentences and ultimately die in prison for the murders that he committed. And that, you guys, is the case of George Russell.

这也是玛丽·安妮、卡罗尔和兰迪被谋杀的案件。我非常想听听你们对此的看法。我在研究乔治并思考这一切时，主要的疑问和收获是，当我真正了解他的罪行后，不禁怀疑这三名受害者是否是他仅有的受害者。看到有人如此处心积虑、实施如此过度的杀戮、并以特定方式布置受害者现场，这让我确信可能还有更多我们不知道的受害者。我非常期待听到你们对这个案件的看法。

It is also the case of the murders of Mary Anne, Carol, and Randy. And I am very interested to hear what you guys have to say about this. My main question and my main takeaway when I was researching George and I was thinking about all of this and really seeing his crime, it really made me wonder if these three victims were the only three victims. It's interesting to see someone who goes to such great lengths, someone who commits such overkill, someone who is staging his victims in a very certain type of way. It definitely made me wonder if there are more victims than we know of, but I'm very interested to hear what you guys have to say about this case.
