警方：案发现场极其惨烈，凶手手段残忍，先杀害Champa后杀害Anita，Anita曾试图逃脱。案发时没有发生性侵犯，且许多贵重物品未被盗窃，作案动机不明。凶手可能使用了Manji的滑雪服和滑雪面罩作伪装。警方怀疑凶手认识受害者，并最终将调查重点放在了Patel家族内部。 Manji Patel：案发当天早上离开家时，房子是锁着的。 Jay Patel：否认杀害母亲和妹妹，认为警方歪曲证据，并对警方的调查表示不满。 Bharat Patel：相信Jay是凶手，并为此提起民事诉讼。 匿名信作者：声称受雇杀害Champa和Anita，并指认Jay的表姐，但警方对此表示怀疑。 目击证人：在Trinity Methodist Church停车场看到Jay从Anita的货车下车，但证词存在时间和细节上的问题。

Shownotes Transcript

1996 - Windsor, Connecticut.

On March 21st, 1996, 32-year-old Anita Patel stopped by her mother, Champaben Patel’s home, to drop off her toddler while she took her 4-year-old daughter to school.

She had no idea that just behind the doors of the home, was a man attacking her mother. Anita yelled her daughter to take her brother and run.

When police arrived to the Patel home, they walked into one of the worst crime scenes they’d ever encountered. Both Champa and Anita had been killed; tortured and set on fire. This was a brutal and awful crime.

The Patel family sought comfort in one another in the immediate aftermath, mourning the loss of these two important women. But as time went on, the cracks in the family dynamic began to show, and they started questioning if somebody close knew more than they were letting on, asking themselves one important question: What if the killer was right there with them in the room?

There is currently a $50k being offered in this case. If you have any information about the murders of Champaben and Anita Patel, please contact the Connecticut Cold Case Unit’s tip line at 860-548-0606, or email a tip to [email protected]
