[Spanish] - Creedme (Unbelievable): The Story of Two Detectives' Relentless Search for the Truth

El 11 de agosto de 2008, Marie, de dieciocho años, informó que un hombre enmascarado irrumpió en su apartamento cerca de Seattle, Washington, y la violó. A los pocos días la policía e incluso los más cercanos a Marie desconfiaba de su historia. La policía rápidamente giró y comenzó a investigar a Marie. Frente a las inconsistencias en su historia y las dudas de los demás, Marie se rompió y dijo que su historia era una mentira, una oferta de atención. La policía acusó a Marie de denuncia falsa, y la tacharon de mentirosa. Más de dos años más tarde, la detective de Colorado Stacy Galbraith fue asignada para investigar un caso de agresión sexual. Describiendo el crimen a su marido esa noche, Galbraith se enteró de que el caso tenía un parecido inquietante con una violación que había tenido lugar meses antes en una ciudad cercana. Ella unió fuerzas con el detective en ese caso, Edna Hendershot, y los dos pronto descubrieron que estaban tratando con un violador en serie: un hombre que fotografió a sus víctimas, amenazando con publicar las imágenes en línea, y cuyos pasos calculados para borrar todas las pruebas físicas sugerían que podría ser un soldado o un policía. A través de un meticuloso trabajo policial, los detectives eventualmente conectarían al violador con otros ataques en Colorado y más allá. Basado en archivos de investigación y extensas entrevistas con los directores, Unbelievable es una historia serpentina de dudas, mentiras y una búsqueda de justicia, revelando la inquietante verdad de cómo se investiga la agresión sexual hoy en día, y la larga historia de escepticismo hacia las víctimas de violación.

A False Report

Two Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists tell the riveting true story of Marie, a teenager who was charged with lying about having been raped, and the detectives who followed a winding path to arrive at the truth. On August 11, 2008, eighteen-year-old Marie reported that a masked man broke into her apartment near Seattle, Washington, and raped her. Within days police and even those closest to Marie became suspicious of her story: details of the crime didn't seem plausible and her foster mother thought she sounded as though she were reciting a Law & Order episode. The police swiftly pivoted and began investigating Marie. Confronted with inconsistencies in her story and the doubts of others, Marie broke down and said her story was a lie-a bid for attention. Police charged Marie with false reporting. One of Marie's best friends created a web page branding her a liar. More than two years later, Colorado detective Stacy Galbraith was assigned to investigate a case of sexual assault. Describing the crime to her husband that night-the attacker's calm and practiced demeanor, which led the victim to surmise "he's done this before"-Galbraith learned that the case bore an eerie resemblance to a rape that had taken place months earlier in a nearby town. She joined forces with the detective on that case, Edna Hendershot, and the two soon realized they were dealing with a serial rapist: a man who photographed his victims, threatening to release the images online, and whose calculated steps to erase all physical evidence suggested he might be a soldier or a cop. Through meticulous police work the detectives would eventually connect the rapist to other attacks in Colorado-and beyond. Based on investigative files and extensive interviews with the principals, A False Report is a serpentine tale of doubt, lies, and a hunt for justice, unveiling the disturbing reality of how sexual assault is investigated today-and the long history of skepticism toward rape victims.

A False Report: The chilling true story of the woman nobody believed

Random House presents the audiobook edition of A False Report by T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong, read by Hillary Huber with an epilogue read by Ken Armstrong and an authors' note read by T. Christian Miller. Two Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists uncover the true story of Marie. She said she was raped; police said she lied. It was an easy case to close until two detectives cracked it back open. On 11 August 2008, eighteen-year-old Marie reported that a masked man had broken into her home and raped her. Within days, police - and even those closest to Marie - became suspicious of her story: details of the crime just didn't seem plausible. Confronted with the seeming inconsistencies, Marie broke down and said her story was a fabrication - a bid for attention. The police convicted her of making a false report. She was vilified as a liar. More than two years later, some 1,600 kilometres away, detective Stacy Galbraith was assigned to a case of sexual assault. It bore an eerie resemblance to a rape that had taken place months earlier in a nearby town. Galbraith contacted the detective on that case, Edna Hendershot, and they joined forces. Galbraith and Hendershot soon realised they were dealing with a serial rapist: a man who took calculated steps to erase all physical evidence, who photographed each of his victims, threatening to release the images online if the women went to the police. After weeks of meticulous investigation, they had a name. But they also had yet another victim - a young woman whose identity was a mystery, a possible missing link. It was imperative they find her. Based on investigative files and extensive interviews with those involved, A False Report is a serpentine tale of doubt, lies and a hunt for justice. It unveils the disturbing reality of how sexual assault is investigated and the long history of scepticism towards its victims. But it is also the story of two women whose determined resolve and detective brilliance finally brought the truth to light.
