The Horrific Halloween Murder of Arpana Jinaga

Timestamp to skip straight to the case: (11:04)

A professor from Northeastern University believes “violent crimes increase by as much as 50% on Halloween, which is two times the daily average.”

In 2008, Arpana and her neighbors opened their apartment doors for a Halloween party.  Arpana dressed as ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ for the event.   After a night of festivities, Arpana headed to bed at around 3am.

When Arpana did not arrive at work on the following Monday, her family in India asked friends to go and check on her.  A family friend discovered Arpana’s beaten body in her apartment.

Now, 17 years later, Arpana’s murder remains unsolved.   Was she murdered by someone from her apartment complex or could a serial killer like Israel Keyes have been involved?
