Originally Answered: What is the most gruesome and disturbing case you have ever heard about?
I became famous for fifteen minutes for this case. An older lady had a lap dog that bit a little girl. This was the late 80’s and rabies treatment was pretty drastic and dangerous for children. So animal welfare wanted to take the dog into custody to watch for signs of rabies to save the girl from undergoing the tests. Anyway, in the 70’s when the treatment was even more dangerous if a dog bit someone, they used to get a piece of the dog’s brain tissue to look for a sign of rabies. Obviously, this killed the dog. Well this lady hid her dog with friends out of town because she thought her dog would be killed, she still thought that it was the 70’s treatment for dogs, and she wouldn't listen to anyone. 

我曾因为这个案子短暂“出名”了一阵子。一位老太太养了一只宠物小狗，咬伤了一个小女孩。那是80年代末，当时针对儿童的狂犬病治疗手段非常激进，风险也很高。所以动物保护部门想把狗带走隔离观察，排查狂犬病症状，避免小女孩必须接受那些危险的治疗。要知道，70年代的处理方式更极端，如果狗咬了人，工作人员会取狗的脑组织检测狂犬病，这显然会直接把狗弄死。这位老太太还以为现在还是70年代的处理方式，担心自己的狗会被杀死，死活不听任何人解释，把狗藏到了城外朋友家。

The little girl had to get the dangerous treatment. The lady was charged with something like endangering a minor. I was a Probation and Parole officer and was ordered to do a pre-sentence investigation. This case made the local Richmond Virginia Times Dispatch as a front page story for days. After her sentencing hearing, the defense attorney leaked the pre-sentence report to a reporter, and she pulled quotes from the twelve page report out of context that made look like I supported the lady that hid her dog. My fifteen minutes of fame was people calling me, and yelling at me asking how I could support such a vile woman! Being famous is always fun!

结果小女孩不得不接受了危险的狂犬病治疗。老太太最终被控危害未成年人之类的罪名。我当时是缓刑假释官，奉命为她做量刑前调查报告。这个案子连续好几天登上了弗吉尼亚州里士满《时代快讯》的头版。在她的量刑听证会结束后，辩护律师把这份量刑前报告泄露给了一名记者，记者断章取义地引用了这份12页报告里的内容，让人误以为我支持这位藏狗的老太太。我那短暂的“出名”，就是无数人打电话来冲我怒吼，质问我为什么要支持这么恶毒的女人！出名的滋味，可真是“美妙”啊！

Not exactly a crime story, but back in the day when I studied criminal justice, I used to write lesser known serial killers and I was talking to one about a horrible incident that had happened to me in the week and a half prior thus my not writing (being frazzled, I was on a jog and had my headphones in and 4 men and a driver threatened me and tried to grab me and jerk me into their work van.)

这算不上一起犯罪案件，但当年我读刑事司法专业时，曾专门研究过一些鲜为人知的连环杀手。我和其中一名杀手通信，跟他说起前一周半发生在我身上的可怕遭遇，解释我为什么没继续写作——那天我心烦意乱，出门慢跑时戴着耳机，四名男子和一名司机试图威胁抓住我，把我强行拽进他们的工作货车。

He actually told me I needed to be careful and change up my routine if that was my normal walking/jogging route because there was a woman he was never caught for…(true or not I don’t know, he was only charged with 2 but confessed to over 14)

他竟然提醒我一定要小心，如果那是我平时慢跑的路线，就必须改变日常行程，因为他曾杀害过一名女性，却从未因此被抓……我不知道这话是真是假，他只被定罪两起命案，却供认了超过14起。

In his letter after I told him what transpired and me having to get away and run through the woods and back to my complex, he said a. that wasn't the safest option but at least I got off the road, but b. remember what he said about routine b/c one woman he “got” went walking/jogging regularly and he could tell by the color of what she was wearing (from stalking I guess) If it was a yellow day she’d do a sprint, pink running, red jogging, green was “laundry day” he knew she was on her cycle if she wore brown or black colors and mainly just walk. Never said he went through her trash or anything but it was like okay… you did seriously watch this person. ALOT. and knew when her friend would run with her or what color meant she’d have her walkman in.

我在信里跟他说了当时的情况：我拼命挣脱，跑进树林，才逃回住处。他回信说，第一，跑进树林不算最安全的选择，但至少我离开了大路；第二，一定要记住他说的关于固定行程的提醒——他盯上的一名女性就有规律的步行、慢跑习惯，他通过长期跟踪，能根据她穿的衣服颜色判断她当天的活动：穿黄色就会快跑，粉色是慢跑，红色是慢走，绿色是“洗衣日”；如果她穿棕色或黑色，他就知道她正处于生理期，通常只会散步。他从没说过自己翻过她的垃圾之类的话，但很明显，他真的对这个人进行了长期、细致的监视，甚至知道她什么时候会和朋友一起跑步，穿什么颜色衣服时会随身带随身听。

Sad thing was, he was sometimes known for exaggerations and tall tales. So I’ll never know if it was true or not. I looked up missing persons in that area that fit his ideal for years and never found anyone that fit the profile.

遗憾的是，他这个人本来就爱夸大其词、编造故事，所以我永远也不知道这些话是真是假。多年来，我一直在查那片地区符合他作案特征的失踪人员，却始终没有找到匹配的人。

The tale of Israel Keyes. I remember reading about his last crime not long after meeting my dear friend Hummingbird Val. She shocked me by informing me her older sister had dated Israel Keyes' brother, and that the Amish in nearby Smyrna had welcomed members of the Keyes family into their community, and some still reside there, as Amish.

我想说说伊斯雷尔·凯斯的案子。我记得在认识挚友蜂鸟·瓦尔后不久，就看到了他最后一起案件的报道。她告诉我一件让我震惊的事：她姐姐曾和伊斯雷尔·凯斯的哥哥交往过，附近士麦那的阿米什人社区曾接纳凯斯家族成员，其中一些人至今仍以阿米什人的身份住在那里。

I have a keen interest in forensics, particularly the application of entomological evidence to tough cases. So I read about crimes, and found his especially calculating and predatory.
Israel Keyes is believed to have committed multiple kidnappings and killings across the country between 2001 and March 2012. The FBI is seeking assistance in developing more information about his travels to identify additional victims. Anyone with information concerning Keyes is encouraged to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

我对法医学有浓厚兴趣，尤其关注昆虫学证据在疑难案件中的应用，因此会查阅各类犯罪案件资料，而凯斯的作案方式格外精于算计、充满掠夺性。
据信，2001年至2012年3月期间，伊斯雷尔·凯斯在全美多地实施了多起绑架与杀人案件。联邦调查局正寻求公众协助，搜集他的行程信息，以确认更多受害者身份。任何知晓凯斯相关线索的人，均可拨打FBI热线1-800-CALL-FBI联系。

After Israel Keyes was arrested for the killing of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig in Alaska in 2012, authorities realized that the man they had in custody was a prolific serial killer. Keyes freely admitted as much.
During conversations with investigators, the 34-year-old sometime construction worker revealed the names of two additional victims—along with tantalizing clues about other killings he had committed around the country over a period of years. But last December, Keyes killed himself in his Anchorage jail cell, leaving a trail of unanswered questions and unidentified victims.

2012年，凯斯因在阿拉斯加杀害18岁的萨曼莎·科尼格被捕，警方这才发现，他们抓获的是一名作案累累的连环杀手，凯斯本人也对此坦然承认。
这名34岁、曾做过建筑工人的男子在接受调查人员讯问时，供出了另外两名受害者的姓名，还透露了多年来在全美各地犯下其他命案的关键线索。但同年12月，凯斯在安克雷奇的监狱牢房内自杀身亡，留下了大量未解之谜和身份不明的受害者。

Those victims have not been forgotten, however. Today we are releasing new information in the hopes that the public can help us identify others killed by Keyes’ hands. The information includes extensive videotaped conversations with Keyes in jail and an interactive map that contains a detailed timeline of his known movements beginning in 1997.

但这些受害者并未被遗忘。如今我们公布新线索，希望公众能协助确认其他被凯斯杀害的人。公开信息包括与凯斯在狱中的大量谈话录像，以及一份交互式地图，详细记录了他从1997年起的已知活动轨迹。

“He gave us a number of clues,” said Special Agent Jolene Goeden in our Anchorage Division. “He talked openly about some of the homicides, but much of what he said only hinted at the things he had done. So we are trying to get information out there about what he did tell us. We are letting the public know the types of cars he rented, towns he visited, campgrounds he frequented. Anything that might spur someone’s memory could help us,” Goeden said.

安克雷奇分局的联邦探员乔琳·戈登表示：“他给了我们不少线索，对部分命案直言不讳，但更多内容只是暗示。因此我们公开他交代的信息，包括他租过的车型、去过的城镇、常去的露营地等。任何能唤起公众记忆的细节，都可能帮助我们破案。”

Apart from Koenig, who was abducted from the Anchorage coffee stand where she worked, and Bill and Lorraine Currier, a middle-aged married couple who were killed in 2011 in Vermont, Keyes discussed “seven or eight other victims,” Goeden said. “We want to identify them.”
Investigators believe that Keyes killed and buried a victim in upstate New York in April 2009. “He also told us about a couple in Washington state, another victim in that area, and possibly others in surrounding states,” Goeden said.

戈登称，除了在安克雷奇工作的咖啡店被绑架的科尼格，以及2011年在佛蒙特州遇害的中年夫妇比尔·柯里尔与洛林·柯里尔外，凯斯还提到了“另外七八名受害者”，警方希望能确认这些人的身份。
调查人员认为，2009年4月，凯斯在纽约州北部杀害并掩埋了一名受害者。戈登说：“他还提到华盛顿州的一对夫妇、该地区的另一名受害者，以及周边州可能存在的其他受害者。”

FBI agents are working with law enforcement around the country to lix Keyes to open cases. “If we have a missing person identified in a particular area, we work closely with that local police department to either connect the person to Keyes or not,” Goeden explained. “We have his DNA.”
It’s a painstaking process, made more complicated because Keyes was meticulous about covering his tracks. In the Currier case, for example, he flew from Alaska to Chicago, rented a car, and drove 1,000 miles to Vermont, where he searched for victims. He chose the Curriers at random.


联邦探员正与全美各地执法部门合作，将凯斯与未破案件关联。戈登解释：“如果某地区有失踪人员，我们会与当地警方密切合作，比对DNA，判断是否与凯斯有关。”
调查过程极为艰难，因为凯斯作案后总会精心掩盖痕迹。以柯里尔夫妇案为例，他从阿拉斯加飞抵芝加哥，租一辆车，驱车1000英里前往佛蒙特州寻找目标，柯里尔夫妇是他随机选中的受害者。

Keyes also left “kill kits” in various locations around the country that contained, among other items, weapons and cash—the money came from bank robberies he committed to support his criminal activities. The caches provided further cover because Keyes didn’t have to risk boarding an airplane with a weapon or using credit cards that could later connect him to a crime in a particular area.
“Although he chose many of his victims randomly, a tremendous amount of planning went into these crimes,” Goeden said. “Keyes enjoyed what he did, and he had no remorse at all. He told us if he hadn’t been caught, he would have continued kidnapping and killing people.”

凯斯还在全美多地藏匿“杀人工具包”，里面装有武器、现金等物品，资金来自他为支撑犯罪活动实施的银行抢劫。这些藏匿点让他无需冒险携带武器登机，也无需使用信用卡留下消费痕迹，避免与特定地区的案件关联。
戈登说：“尽管他的很多受害者是随机选择的，但每起案件都经过周密策划。凯斯享受作案过程，毫无悔意。他告诉我们，如果没被抓，他会继续实施绑架和杀人。”

We need your help. If the videos or map regarding Israel Keyes’ movements spark any memories, or if you have any information regarding Keyes, please contact your local FBI office or submit a tip online.
“That fact that Keyes is dead makes it more difficult for us,” Goeden said, “but the investigation absolutely continues.”

我们需要公众的帮助。如果关于凯斯行程的录像或地图唤起了你的记忆，或你掌握任何相关线索，请联系当地FBI办公室或在线举报。
戈登表示：“凯斯已死，调查难度更大，但案件绝对会继续推进。”

I grew up 2 miles from John Wayne Gacy. He tried to pick us up when I was 13. We all knew of him and he had recently been questioned about missing teens. Needless to say I'm here today because I didn't take his ride. But being in the community he was in was pretty creepy just knowing we saw him regularly. He was always at events and parades. He was arrested a year or so later and that's when they found all the bodies.

我从小住在离约翰·韦恩·盖西只有两英里的地方。我13岁那年，他曾试图载我们一程。我们都知道他这个人，而且他当时正因失踪青少年案件接受警方问询。不用说我今天能活着就是因为当时没有上他的车。但住在同一个社区知道自己经常会见到他，那种感觉非常恐怖。他总是出现在各种社区活动和游行中。大约一年后他被捕，警方也在那时找到了所有受害者的遗体。
