道格拉斯·馬克·史密斯 (Douglas Mark Smith) 因 2015 年夏延雙重謀殺案被捕

68 歲的道格拉斯·馬克·史密斯(Douglas Mark Smith) 因涉嫌在2015 年白天在夏安市中心發生的一次明目張膽的搶劫案中殺害兩人而犯有兩項一級謀殺罪，一份為獲得逮捕令而提交的可能原因宣誓書稱，史密斯親自破獲了這起長達數年的懸案，他講述了關於他所謂的不在場證據的說法不一致。

CHEYENNE — An affidavit of probable cause filed to get an arrest warrant for Douglas Mark Smith, 68, on two counts of first-degree murder for allegedly killing two people during a brazen 2015 daytime robbery in downtown Cheyenne says Smith broke the yearslong cold case himself by telling inconsistent stories about his alleged alibi.

夏延——68 歲的道格拉斯·馬克·史密斯(Douglas Mark Smith) 因涉嫌在2015 年夏延市中心的一次明目張膽的白天搶劫中殺害兩人而犯有兩項一級謀殺罪，為獲得逮捕令而提交的一份可能原因宣誓書稱，史密斯親自破獲了這起長達數年的懸案。

Smith was arrested on Tuesday in California for allegedly shooting and killing George Manley, 76, and Dwight Brockman, 67, while robbing The Coin Shop in downtown Cheyenne. No prior arrests had taken place in the case.

史密斯週二在加州被捕，罪名是涉嫌在夏安市中心搶劫 The Coin Shop 時槍殺 76 歲的喬治·曼利 (George Manley) 和 67 歲的德懷特·布羅克曼 (Dwight Brockman)。此案之前沒有發生過逮捕事件。

Police officers had targeted Smith as a key witness throughout their investigation, but an affidavit submitted with the arrest warrant signed off by Laramie County Circuit Court Judge Antoinette Williams on Tuesday shows that investigators had narrowed their focus to Smith as a suspect by May 2023.

警方在整個調查過程中一直將史密斯作為關鍵證人，但周二拉勒米縣巡迴法院法官安托瓦內特·威廉姆斯簽署的逮捕令提交的一份宣誓書顯示，調查人員到2023 年5 月已將重點鎖定為嫌疑犯史密斯。

During two separate interviews Smith gave to officers at that time, his story about where and what he saw on the day of the murders had changed significantly, the affidavit says. This followed on the heels of other inconsistent statements Smith had given throughout the investigation.

證詞稱，在史密斯當時對警察進行的兩次單獨採訪中，他關於謀殺當天在哪裡以及看到了什麼的故事發生了重大變化。在此之前，史密斯在整個調查過程中發表了其他不一致的聲明。

“The information provided by Smith distracted and diverted Cheyenne Police Department resources during the early stages of the police investigation,” Police Detective James Pendleton writes in the affidavit.

「在警方調查的早期階段，史密斯提供的資訊分散了夏安警察局的資源，」警探詹姆斯·彭德爾頓在證詞中寫道。

It was Smith who initially called 911 to report the shootings at The Coin Shop.

史密斯最初撥打 911 報告了 Coin Shop 發生的槍擊事件。

Smith at the time told police that he had walked in on a murder suspect at the business after Manley and Brockman had been killed, the affidavit says. Smith said the person was “pilfering” a safe located behind the counter.

證詞稱，史密斯當時告訴警方，曼利和布羅克曼被殺後，他在店裡遇到了一名謀殺嫌疑犯。史密斯說，這個人正在「偷竊」櫃檯後面的保險箱。

Smith said the suspect pointed a .45-caliber handgun at him and told him to leave the store. It was then that Smith ran out and called 911.

史密斯說，嫌犯用 0.45 口徑手槍指著他，並要求他離開商店。就在那時，史密斯跑出去撥打了 911。

In their investigation, detectives discovered Smith had owned multiple .45-caliber handguns during his life, the affidavit said.

證詞稱，偵探在調查中發現史密斯生前擁有多支 0.45 口徑手槍。

Smith had told dispatchers, “They shot people in there,” but shortly after claimed to officers that he had never seen Brockman’s body.

史密斯告訴調度員，“他們在那裡開槍射殺了人”，但不久之後他向警察聲稱他從未見過布羅克曼的屍體。

Police analyzed nearby surveillance cameras covering every direction surrounding the shop, the affidavit says. There was no evidence of any suspect other than Smith leaving the business at the time of the crime.

證詞稱，警方分析了覆蓋商店周圍各個方向的監視器。沒有證據表明除了史密斯之外還有任何嫌疑人在犯罪時離開了公司。

Smith had told 911 operators he would try to get a photo of the suspect when they left the building but never saw anyone leave westbound from the store, which only had one exit. Nearby witnesses who had heard a muffled gunshot also saw no one leave the store or running from the area.

史密斯告訴 911 接線員，當嫌疑人離開大樓時，他會嘗試拍一張照片，但從未看到有人從商店向西行，因為商店只有一個出口。附近的目擊者聽到一聲低沉的槍聲，也看到沒有人離開商店或逃離該地區。

Officers arrived at the scene shortly after and also saw no suspects leaving the scene.

警方不久後趕到現場，也沒看到嫌犯離開現場。

“There would have been surveillance video or Smith’s vision showing a fleeing suspect in all directions,” Pendleton wrote in the affidavit.

彭德爾頓在宣誓書中寫道：“監視器錄影或史密斯的視野會顯示嫌疑人在各個方向逃跑。”

Smith later picked out a man with a large tattoo on his neck from a suspect lineup with 97% confidence, according to the affidavit. Previously, Smith had never mentioned the suspect having any kind of tattoo on his neck.

證詞顯示，史密斯隨後以 97% 的置信度從嫌疑犯名單中挑選出了一名脖子上有大紋身的男子。此前，史密斯從未提及嫌疑人脖子上有任何刺青。

He explained away this inconsistency in a late-night email sent to former Detective John Pederson four days after the murder, where he speculated that the man must have been wearing makeup to cover up the tattoo while committing the crime. Smith also jumped to other conclusions about the suspect, who he referred to as “our guy,” saying the man “has done this in the past,” the affidavit says.

謀殺案發生四天后，他在深夜發給前偵探約翰·佩德森的電子郵件中解釋了這種不一致的情況，他推測該男子在犯罪時一定化妝以掩蓋紋身。證詞稱，史密斯還對嫌疑人做出了其他結論，他稱嫌疑人為“我們的人”，並稱該人“過去曾這樣做過”。

When asked about the email in 2023, Smith said he didn’t remember sending it. During an in-person interview conducted May 9, 2023, Smith said he was certain the suspect was someone else and denied ever looking at photo lineups, the affidavit says.

當被問及 2023 年的那封電子郵件時，史密斯表示他不記得發送過這封郵件。證詞稱，史密斯在 2023 年 5 月 9 日進行的訪談中表示，他確信嫌疑人是其他人，並否認曾看過照片陣容。

Smith also originally told authorities he had seen Manley laying on the ground dead with his head “against the counter or against the west wall” of the business. However, in subsequent interviews with police in 2023, Smith said he had never seen Manley’s head.

史密斯最初還告訴當局，他看到曼利躺在地上死了，他的頭「抵著櫃檯或店的西牆」。然而，在隨後2023年接受警方採訪時，史密斯表示他從未見過曼利的頭。

Using crime scene photos and other images of the building, officers determined that based on the location Smith said he was at in the shop near its entrance, he would not have been able to see Manley’s head, the affidavit says.

證詞稱，警方利用犯罪現場照片和建築物的其他圖像，確定根據史密斯所說的他在商店入口附近的商店位置，他看不到曼利的頭。

Timing Doesn't Add Up

時間不合時宜

During a May 3, 2023, phone interview with investigators, Smith said he had been in the store for around 15-20 seconds. However, in his initial interview, Smith told Pederson that two to three minutes had passed from the time he entered the store until he called 911.

2023 年 5 月 3 日，史密斯接受調查人員電話採訪時表示，他在店裡待了大約 15 到 20 秒。然而，在最初的採訪中，史密斯告訴佩德森，從他進入商店到撥打 911 已經過去了兩到三分鐘。

In an unpublished recount Smith submitted to the Wyoming Tribune Eagle newspaper, Smith said he only observed the suspect for three seconds. The affidavit doesn’t say when Smith submitted that to the newspaper.

在史密斯提交給懷俄明州論壇報鷹報的未發表的重新計票中，史密斯說他只觀察了嫌疑人三秒鐘。宣誓書沒有說明史密斯何時向該報提交了該文件。

Police studied the records of phone calls made to the business on the morning of the crime, and Smith had claimed he had called The Coin Shop shortly before going over to the business to make sure it was open, but there

警方研究了案發當天早上打給該店的電話記錄，史密斯聲稱他在前往該店之前不久就給金幣店打了電話，以確保該店是否營業，但
