Chapter 26 Freezer

In the summer of 1987, the FBI in Houston, Texas received a missing persons case from the local police.The name of the missing person was Tracy. When her mother reported the case to the local police station, she said that her daughter left school suddenly a month ago, and then lost contact with her. There was no news until she reported the case. She thought her daughter might be There was an accident.The Houston Police Department launched an investigation immediately after receiving the report. During the investigation, the detectives of the Houston Police Department learned that Tracy's school had sent people everywhere to search for the missing female student before that. All over Houston.They searched for all possible places where Tracy could go, such as playgrounds, bars, and even some adult places, but they still did not find out Tracy's whereabouts.This result made the school administrators a little frustrated, because from the perspective of academic performance and personal development, Tracy is the pride of the school.She is good at dancing and has superb dancing skills. She is at a stage with a bright future in her personal dance career. The school and the outside world are very optimistic about her, and it is agreed that Tracy will achieve something in this regard.However, amid such praise, Tracy suddenly disappeared.

Of course, this does not mean that Tracy is an obedient and sensible girl.In fact, her personality is quite rebellious, and the people she usually comes into contact with are more complicated, and she has some secrets that are unknown.Detective Dion of the Houston Police Department has some experience of this, because not long ago, a case he investigated was related to Tracy.That was the first and last time he saw Tracy. The case of Tracy's disappearance has been transferred from the Houston Police Department to the FBI. During the transfer process, Agent Dion told us something about Tracy.

Tracy has a boyfriend named Michael, who is under investigation for allegedly participating in a racially discriminatory "drive-by shooting case", and the case is in charge of Detective Dion.One day, he came to Michael's house to ask him some questions. Michael was not there at the time. When Dion walked to the yard of their house, he found that the door of the yard was not closed, as if someone had just left, and there were some flowers and plants planted in the small yard.Dion noticed that the door to the room from the courtyard was also open, so he walked right in, and that's when he spotted Tracy, and the two of them just looked at each other.

Tracy was nervous when she saw Agent Dion come in.Dion saw this, so instead of giving Tracy time to think, he cut right to the point.He asked Tracy, "Who are you Michael? How long have you known him? Do you know where Michael has gone? Where was he last night?" The shooting happened at 1 a.m. near a residential area, and none of the five black people in nearby houses were injured.At that time, someone wrote down the license plate number of the car, and Dion found Michael's home based on the license plate number.At the same time, other intelligence showed that Michael was a member of the "white supremacist" radical group, and Michael was the backbone of this organization.Therefore, he is highly suspected of being involved in a drive-by shooting in a black ghetto.

White supremacists demand the restoration of apartheid and the creation of a white-only nation.Some scholars say that it is very dangerous for people with this kind of thinking to live on the earth.Today, many white supremacists blame immigrants of color, especially Hispanic immigrants, for problems such as crime and unemployment.Immigration is an easy issue for hate groups as many Americans are already divided over how to amend laws and change practices to address America's burgeoning immigrant population.I once heard a scholar who studies American history say that the United States does not have innate factors for racial discrimination.Because the United States is an immigrant country, the ancestors of most Americans come from all over the world.Among them, the British, Irish, German, Italian and Hispanic whites are more, while the proportion of blacks has reached 13%. In recent years, the number of Asian immigrants has also increased.However, relatively strong forces of racial discrimination still exist in the United States.This reason should be found in the background of global racial discrimination.For example, in the long-term historical process, due to the high level of productivity in white society, the discrimination against people of color is essentially the rejection of backward society and different cultures.Once this situation is manifested in the multiracial society of the United States, it becomes a microcosm of global racial discrimination.At that time, there were many murders and injuries against people of color in the United States every year. For Detective Dion, this was not the first time he had handled such a case.

However, at Michael's house that day, Dion discovered something else. While he was questioning Tracy, he also saw a syringe on the armrest of the sofa next to Tracy.Tracy was standing, and a slight hook of her left hand back could hide the syringe on the arm of the couch.However, Tracy was shocked by Dion's words at the time, and she had no time to react.It could be seen that she was very regretful in her heart, and she had nothing to say, but just stood there blankly, not moving at all.Her lips began to tremble, she wanted to cry, and her expression was quite complicated. Tracy's appearance made Dion confirm his judgment. The woman in front of him had just injected drugs, and it was useless even if she wanted to hide it, let alone she was panicked.

"Listen to me and answer my question first, okay, what's your name?" Dion slowed down. At that time, he thought that the most important thing was to investigate the shooting. As for the drug use of the woman in front of him, let's talk about it later. "My... name is Tracy." Tracy relaxed a little, and began to answer Dion's question slowly.Facing the police officer in front of her, she looked uneasy. The conversation between Dion and Tracy that day didn't achieve the expected effect. Tracy's words didn't match up, and Dion couldn't understand what she was saying at all.Tracy must have been in a mess because of the discovery of drug use, and there was no way to provide Dion with any valuable clues.

So Dion arrested Tracy on drug charges.According to the police department, Tracy was arrested once for drug use before that.She wept bitterly in the Houston police department, saying that she had tried to detox, but couldn't. Dion learned from Tracy's mother that she planned to send her daughter to rehab, but later, she found out that all the rehab centers were full and the waiting list for treatment was very high.She also plans to detox Tracy using natural withdrawal methods.This method works well, but it is more dangerous. In fact, it does not provide drug addicts with special drugs for detoxification, so that they will stop taking drugs rigidly, so that the withdrawal symptoms will develop naturally and then subside naturally.The limit period of withdrawal symptoms is about the third day, which is 72 hours after drug withdrawal. Once this period is passed, people will start to get better.In 7 to 10 days, it can be seen that most of the obvious symptoms have disappeared, and the physical dependence has been basically overcome.The application of this natural withdrawal method has been around for a long time, and it is still widely practiced in many countries.This method is simpler and takes the shortest time.Some people think that letting drug users experience discomfort and pain will help them learn their lessons and not repeat drug use.However, the natural withdrawal method has been applied all over the world for more than ten years, and there is no effect of learning lessons and not relapse.Drug addicts, on the contrary, fear drug rehabilitation institutions and avoid them as much as possible, losing enthusiasm for radical treatment.Natural withdrawal is not suitable for the elderly and infirm, and sometimes it may be life-threatening.However, for those who have not been taking drugs for a long time, the amount of drug use is not large, and the physical dependence is not serious, natural withdrawal methods can be used.That is to say, the end of drug withdrawal is not all smooth sailing, because the protracted withdrawal symptoms will last for half a year, or even fade away after a year, and drug addicts will feel tortured at any time.Drug cravings lead to relapse sooner or later.

Tracy's mother always felt that since Tracy was an adult, she couldn't control her anymore, and she was very sad and heartbroken.For this, Dion said it is understandable. At the same time, the police continue to do Tracy's work. They know that they will definitely find some clues about the shooting from Tracy. After repeated questioning, Tracy finally agreed to cooperate with the police.She confessed to the police that her boyfriend Michael was the criminal in the recent "drive-by shooting".At the same time, she also promised to testify in court, but in exchange, she hoped that the court could reduce her punishment.

Detective Dion accepted Tracy's terms on behalf of the Houston Police Department at the time.Early the next morning, though, Michael Neal, 31, came to the police station and paid for Tracy's bail. After that, Tracy disappeared, before she could testify in the "drive-by shooting" case.
