道格拉斯·马克·史密斯 (Douglas Mark Smith) 因 2015 年夏延双重谋杀案被捕

68 岁的道格拉斯·马克·史密斯 (Douglas Mark Smith) 因涉嫌在 2015 年白天在夏安市中心发生的一次明目张胆的抢劫案中杀害两人而犯有两项一级谋杀罪，一份为获得逮捕令而提交的可能原因宣誓书称，史密斯亲自破获了这起长达数年的悬案，他讲述了关于他所谓的不在场证据的说法不一致。

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.

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.

史密斯周二在加利福尼亚州被捕，罪名是涉嫌在夏安市中心抢劫 The Coin Shop 时枪杀 76 岁的乔治·曼利 (George Manley) 和 67 岁的德怀特·布罗克曼 (Dwight Brockman)。此案之前没有发生过逮捕事件。

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.

警方在整个调查过程中一直将史密斯作为关键证人，但周二拉勒米县巡回法院法官安托瓦内特·威廉姆斯签署的逮捕令提交的一份宣誓书显示，调查人员到 2023 年 5 月已将重点锁定为嫌疑人史密斯。

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.

证词称，在史密斯当时对警察进行的两次单独采访中，他关于谋杀当天在哪里以及看到了什么的故事发生了重大变化。在此之前，史密斯在整个调查过程中发表了其他不一致的声明。

“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.

“在警方调查的早期阶段，史密斯提供的信息分散了夏安警察局的资源，”警探詹姆斯·彭德尔顿在证词中写道。

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

史密斯最初拨打 911 报告了 Coin Shop 发生的枪击事件。

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.

证词称，史密斯当时告诉警方，曼利和布罗克曼被杀后，他在店里遇到了一名谋杀嫌疑人。史密斯说，这个人正在“偷窃”柜台后面的保险箱。

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.

史密斯说，嫌疑人用 0.45 口径手枪指着他，并要求他离开商店。就在那时，史密斯跑出去拨打了 911。

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

证词称，侦探在调查中发现史密斯生前拥有多支 0.45 口径手枪。

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

史密斯告诉调度员，“他们在那里开枪射杀了人”，但不久之后他向警察声称他从未见过布罗克曼的尸体。

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.

证词称，警方分析了覆盖商店周围各个方向的监控摄像头。没有证据表明除了史密斯之外还有任何嫌疑人在犯罪时离开了公司。

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.

史密斯告诉 911 接线员，当嫌疑人离开大楼时，他会尝试拍一张照片，但从未看到有人从商店向西行，因为商店只有一个出口。附近的目击者听到一声低沉的枪声，也看到没有人离开商店或逃离该地区。

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

警方不久后赶到现场，也没有看到嫌疑人离开现场。

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

彭德尔顿在宣誓书中写道：“监控录像或史密斯的视野会显示嫌疑人在各个方向逃跑。”

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.

证词显示，史密斯随后以 97% 的置信度从嫌疑人名单中挑选出了一名脖子上有大纹身的男子。此前，史密斯从未提及嫌疑人脖子上有任何纹身。

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.

谋杀案发生四天后，他在深夜发给前侦探约翰·佩德森的电子邮件中解释了这种不一致的情况，他推测该男子在犯罪时一定化妆以掩盖纹身。证词称，史密斯还对嫌疑人做出了其他结论，他称嫌疑人为“我们的人”，并称该人“过去曾这样做过”。

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.

当被问及 2023 年的那封电子邮件时，史密斯表示他不记得发送过这封邮件。证词称，史密斯在 2023 年 5 月 9 日进行的面谈中表示，他确信嫌疑人是其他人，并否认曾看过照片阵容。

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.

史密斯最初还告诉当局，他看到曼利躺在地上死了，他的头“抵着柜台或店的西墙”。然而，在随后2023年接受警方采访时，史密斯表示他从未见过曼利的头。

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.

证词称，警方利用犯罪现场照片和建筑物的其他图像，确定根据史密斯所说的他在商店入口附近的商店位置，他看不到曼利的头。

Timing Doesn't Add Up

时间不合时宜

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，史密斯接受调查人员电话采访时表示，他在店里呆了大约 15 到 20 秒。然而，在最初的采访中，史密斯告诉佩德森，从他进入商店到拨打 911 已经过去了两到三分钟。

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.

在史密斯提交给《怀俄明州论坛报鹰报》的一份未发表的重新计票中，史密斯说他只观察了嫌疑人三秒钟。宣誓书没有说明史密斯何时向该报提交了该文件。

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

警方研究了案发当天早上打给该店的电话记录，史密斯声称他在前往该店之前不久就给金币店打了电话，以确保该店还在营业，但
