Poliisi jäljitti 14 vuotta vanhan puhelun – veljeksiä syytetään 16v teinitytön murhasta
Yhdysvaltalainen Amber Woods löydettiin kuolleena Floridan osavaltiossa sijaitsevan tien vierestä helmikuussa vuonna 2006. 16-vuotiasta teinityttöä oli ammuttu teloitustyyliin yhdellä laukauksella selkään. Henkirikos on ollut ratkaisematta kaikki nämä vuodet.
Tämän vuoden joulukuussa rikostutkija kävi tapausta jälleen läpi. Hän pystyi todistamaan nykytekniikan avulla uhrin silloisen poikaystävän puhelimen olleen lähellä ruumin löytymispaikkaa verityön aikoihin.
36-vuotiasta miestä vastaan on nostettu läpimurron jälkeen murhasyyte. Lisäksi henkirikoksesta syytetään hänen neljä vuotta nuorempaa veljeään, joka oli teon aikaan vain 17-vuotias. Niin ikään syytettynä on uhrin poikaystävän vuotta vanhempi velipuoli. Hänen kohdallaan kyse on vapaudenriistosta ja avunannosta.
Tutkinnan perusteella uhrin poikaystävä oli luullut tämän olevan raskaana. Hän oli pelännyt joutuvansa 16-vuotiaan raskaudesta oikeudelliseen vastuuseen, koska hän oli itse täysi-ikäinen. Poikaystävä värväsi poliisin selvityksen mukaan veljensä ja velipuolensa auttamaan henkirikoksen toteuttamisessa. Aikoinaan oikeustieteellisessä ruumiinavauksessa kävi ilmi, ettei uhri ollut raskaana.

hree brothers have been arrested and charged in connection with the 2006 murder of a Florida teenager they mistakenly believed was pregnant, police said on Wednesday.
Fourteen years ago, Amber Woods, 16, was fatally shot in the back and her body was left at the side of a rural road in Manatee County in Florida.
The case went cold with no suspects charged over the attack.
But now, Ralph Williams, 36, and Tyjuan Williams, 32, have been charged with second-degree murder while their half brother Jamaine Brown, 37, is charged with kidnapping and being an accessory to murder, police said.
The two Williams brothers were already in custody for unrelated charges at the time of their arrest on December 15.
Amber's body was found by a passerby in a remote section of State Road 62 in Hardee County in February 2006, Manatee County Sheriff Rick Wells said at a press conference on Monday.
Wells described the suspects as 'cold, callous, just the worst in our society', reports the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
The arrests come after crime analyst Elicia Main, from the Manatee Homicide Investigation Unit, used previously unavailable cellular tracking technology to understand what happened during the night of Amber's murder.
The teenager was last seen alive by her aunt at her home in Hardee County at around 12.30am on 11 February 2006 before she was kidnapped.
Amber's body was found seven hours later at 7:30 am by a passerby who was driving along the State Road 62. The driver saw her body about 20 feet from the road.
An autopsy report said she had died from a single gunshot wound to her back.
Ralph Williams, who was dating Amber at the time, wanted to end their relationship because he thought she was pregnant with his baby, police said. But the autopsy revealed she was not pregnant.
Williams, then 21, was reportedly worried about facing criminal charges because she was a minor, according to a text message seen by officers.
Wells said Williams then conspired with his brothers to kidnap the teenager and kill her in a remote location.
The new cellular tracking software used by the Manatee Homicide Investigation Unit placed Ralph William's cellphone close to where Amber's body was found, giving officers a new lead.
Main, who analysed the phone data, said: 'What it showed us was the phones belonging to the suspects were in the vicinity of the crime.
'They lied about their whereabouts, and we were able to prove that they were lying about their whereabouts,' Wells said. 'There’s a lot more than a ping on a phone.'
The investigation developed further when a witness Amber's kidnapping said she saw Brown arguing with the teenager outside her home and telling her to get into the car, according to an arrest warrant affidavit, reports the Bradenton Herald.
The suspect was then arrested on May 20 and told officers the two Williams brothers had driven Amber to the quiet spot and Tyjuan had shot the teenager in the back, reports the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
The pair reportedly dragged her body to the side of the road and drove off.
Surkea tapaus kaiken kaikkiaan tuokin murha. Amerikan ihmemaassa pääsee herkästi hengestään.
Kuinkahan vanhoja puhelutietoja täällä meillä pystytään jäljittämään? Tuon sortin tekniikkahan lie Suomessa aika korkealla tasolla.
