Chapter 1016 The Unlucky Case of the Wanted Criminal Team (Part 2)
If the matter had ended there, it could only be said to be an unexpected tragedy. Although Fred Duncan Jr. was the culprit, the whole case was not so destructive.
But when Jiejie and Hannah sent a report on the vehicle driven by Todd Carter and Vicki Brokaw through the Pennsylvania State Police system, they soon received feedback.
A family murder case had just occurred in a small town called Bryn Mawr. A couple in their 60s were killed. The neighbors heard the gunshots and called the police directly. When the police arrived, they found an old Infiniti sedan in the driveway in front of the house.
This Infiniti was the one driven by Todd Carter and Vicki Brokaw. Soon, the wanted criminal team also arrived and were surprised to see the bodies of the two in the trunk of the car.
So the case became complicated all of a sudden. Jubal speculated that Todd Carter and Vicki Brokaw were killed by Fred Duncan Jr., but this could not explain the miserable death of the old couple in the house.
The old couple is Sally and Dan Wiggins. The husband, Dan Wiggins, was shot in the head. The murder weapon should be the 9mm pistol that Todd Carter used at the Family Amusement Center the day before.
And the wife, Sally Wiggins, was beaten to death with a poker placed in front of the fireplace. The scene was extremely tragic.
It was obvious that this was a typical revenge killing, so Alice dug into Sally Wiggins's past, especially the financial situation of her and her husband.
When she investigated an account of Sally Wiggins before her marriage, she found a huge sum of $250,000 more than 30 years ago.
Although the money was divided into many small amounts and it took almost a year to arrive in full, it was $250,000 in the 1990s, which looked very eye-catching.
Alice quickly found the source of these funds, a company called FD Entertainment, which belonged to Fred Duncan Jr.'s father, Fred Sr.
Fred Sr. died in 2010, and Fred Jr. inherited his estate, including the entertainment industry, but due to poor management, he has been losing money in recent years, to the point where he now needs to defraud insurance to repay his son William's gambling debts.
After finding the intersection, everyone put the breakthrough on Sally Wiggins, and discovered that she was once the only witness in a rape and murder case.
In 35, a girl named Jessica Booker died in the Duncan family's old house. She was the daughter of Duncan's gardener, and the murderer was identified as Angelo Carpenter.
Angelo was tutoring Fred Duncan Jr. at the time to make money. There were only three people in the house on the night of the incident, Angelo Carpenter, Fred Jr., and Sally, the Duncan family's housekeeper.
The only evidence for the prosecution's conviction at the time was Sally's testimony that Angelo violated Jessica and then pushed her down the stairs, causing her death.
In the past 35 years, Angelo has been appealing, claiming that it was old Fred who bribed the housekeeper Sally to give false testimony, and the real murderer was actually little Fred.
But until he spent a full 35 years in prison, from an ignorant young man to a 50-year-old old man, his appeal was still unsuccessful.
Three weeks ago, Angelo was released from prison and began his revenge plan.
He first found little Fred's son William, but by mistake he was one step late. When he entered the amusement center, a fire had already started.
When Angelo saw William lying in a pool of blood, he mistakenly thought he had been shot and killed. After leaving the name "Assassin" on an old game console, he followed the man and woman who set the fire.
After that, he killed the two people and obtained little Fred's anonymous mobile phone number from them, but Angelo did not immediately kill him. Instead, he drove the car with the body to the housekeeper Sally's house and killed her and her husband.
At this time, the wanted criminal team also found another insider of the rape and murder case 35 years ago, William Duncan's sister, Fred's daughter Rachel Dunn.
In fact, Rachel Dunn discovered her father's evil deeds, but when she told her mother about it, she was surprised to find that not only did her mother turn a blind eye to it, but her grandfather even chose to cover up for her son and frame others, so she ran away from home angrily.
After that, she changed her surname from Duncan to Dunn, and never had any contact with the Duncan family again.
After figuring out all this, the wanted criminal team believed that Angelo's revenge target was the entire Duncan family, including Rachel Dunn, who had changed her name.
However, when everyone realized this, it was too late. Rachel Dunn's underage daughter Ellie had been kidnapped by Angelo, and then he kidnapped Fred.
Then Angelo's revenge plan entered the climax stage, which was also the most devastating part. He took the two to the old house of the Duncan family, where the tragedy happened 35 years ago.
One thing to note here is that because Rachel Dunn had severed ties with the family since she was a child, Fred Jr. did not know that he had this granddaughter.
In the old house of the Duncan family, which was the bedroom where Fred Jr. had abused Jessica, Angelo explained everything to the grandfather and grandson who had never met before.
Then Angelo pointed the gun at Fred Jr. and asked him to repeat his atrocities in this bedroom.
So a disgusting scene happened. Under the threat of his life, the gray-haired little Fred actually surrendered.
Fortunately, the wanted criminal team found Angelo's whereabouts through road surveillance in time and guessed his destination.
If Hannah hadn't rushed into the Duncan's old house and kicked the bedroom door open with all her strength, the tragedy would have almost happened.
The ending of the story afterwards was not dramatic at all, and it was even a bit hard to let go.
Angelo was caught up by Clay and Aubrey when he was escaping. He didn't want to go to prison again, so he raised his gun and tried to resist, but was shot dead directly.
And the culprit in the whole incident, the most damned little Fred, survived, but only suffered a trivial "minor injury" and was kicked hard between his legs by Hannah.
Fortunately, the innocent Ellie was just a little frightened, but according to Jiejie's judgment, she may need to go through psychological counseling for quite a while.
After listening to the whole case, Jack also said that it was difficult to comment. He didn't even know how to comfort everyone's "traumatized" hearts. Anyway, this time it was definitely not something that could be solved by just having a good meal.
