You seek a small Tupperware container with log and swag. It is hidden near the site if an infamous Raleigh murder that has since been featured on multiple true-crime television shows.
She was Janine Sutphen, a professional cellist with the Durham Symphony Orchestra. He was her husband, Robert James Petrick, a self-described "techno-geek" who came under suspicion when Sutphen, 57 at the time of her disappearance in January 2003, was found four months later, her body wrapped in a tarp and blankets, floating in Raleigh's Falls Lake.
Police who were investigating the murder seized Petrick's home computer. On the hard drive, they found that Robert Petrick searched for the words "neck," "snap," "break" and "hold" on an Internet search engine before his wife died, according to prosecutors, and he had downloaded computer instructions titled "22 ways to kill a man with your bare hands".
A few days after those searches, he searched the terms 'rigor mortis' and 'body decomposition'.
And four days before he reported his wife missing, and roughly three weeks since any other people had contact with her, Petrick ailegedly researched extensively lake levels, water currents, boat ramps and access about Falls Lake.
Two searched that notably were NOT performed were any searches for 'fishing' and 'kayaking'.
Petrick represented himself during the sensational murder trial which lasted two weeks, and included more than 60 witnesses, including women with whom Petrick was having extra-marital affairs. After just a little more than two hours of deliberation, a jury unanimously found Petrick guilty of first-degree murder. He is presently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
