美國伊利諾州芝加哥8歲女童科瓦列維奇(Gloria Kowalewicz),1960年11月12日早上步行前往數個街區之外的教堂參加彌撒,孰料卻頭部連中2槍遭棄屍溝渠,此後65年遲遲沒有偵破,芝加哥警察局12日終於宣布破案,兇手竟是同警局警探麥金納尼(Thomas F. McInerney Jr.),不過他早已過世。
據《NBC》報導,就讀小學3年級的科瓦列維奇,當天穿著媽媽為她挑選的紅色、棕色相間格子連身裙,但她沒有到達教堂,應是在路上被人帶走。後來有民眾開車行經芝加哥西南森林保護區時,看到色彩鮮豔的衣物,上前查看赫然發現科瓦列維奇的遺體。

本案引發芝加哥大規模搜捕行動,而且持續數個月之久,過程中有好幾千人遭到訊問,警方也跟進調查數百條線索,但仍然找不到犯人。直到今年7月,透過最新的DNA技術和妥善保存的1枚指紋,終於確認兇手是當年的芝加哥警察局兇殺案警探麥金納尼。
據了解,麥金納尼在芝加哥警局工作28年之久,1987年從警界退休,2006年70歲時在內華達州拉斯維加斯去世,他應該和科瓦列維奇互不認識,不過他父母的住處距離女童一家不到1英里(約1.6公里)。
雖然本案宣告偵破,但警方仍然不知道麥金納尼為何要狠心奪走小女孩的性命。芝加哥警局在聲明中坦言麥金納尼根本不配成為警察,令人痛心的是其生前並未被追究責任。
科瓦列維奇胞弟在姊姊遇害時還是嬰兒,他對媒體感嘆麥金納尼從未付出應有代價,希望兇手能在上帝面前得到應有的懲罰。麥金納尼的DNA已被錄入美國聯邦調查局(FBI)系統,當局將追查其是否涉及其他案件。
