69: Darlie Routier- Reasonable Doubt? Part 2

On April 2, 2008, Brittany Zimmermann had just returned home to her off campus apartment from class at the University of Wisconsin Madison when she was brutally attacked and murdered.  Despite making a 911 call during her attack, police didn’t arrive on scene until 48 minutes later when her fiance found her in their bedroom and placed another call to 911.  Was the lack of dispatch the reason it took 14 years for her killer to be caught or was it simply a case of lack of evidence?

On Sunday, June 5th, 1983, Bill Hughes drove the short distance from his home to the home of Peggy and Doug Ryen. Bill’s son, 11-year-old Chris, had a sleepover that night with the Ryens’ son, Josh. There was no answer at the front door and the Ryens’ car was missing. When he peeked in through a sliding glass door in the back of home, Bill thought what he was seeing was some sort of prank. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. Inside the home were the bodies of Doug, Peggy, and Jessica Ryen, and Bill’s son, Chris. Josh Ryen, the youngest boy, had somehow survived what turned out to have been a brutal massacre. Several months later, despite many lingering questions about the murders, a man was charged and ultimately sentenced to death. Was Kevin Cooper guilty of a quadruple homicide or had he been framed?

In the early morning hours of July 1st, 2018, a neighbor of the Chundawat family in the Burari neighborhood in Delhi, India was puzzled when he saw that their shops still weren’t open. The milk had been delivered to the grocery shop, but it had not yet been brought inside. Customers were waiting outside to make purchases, but none had seen the Chundawats. Concerned, the neighbor climbed the stairs to the family’s home and found the main door open. He pushed through the door and into the home and saw what he thought might be a horrible nightmare. Hanging from an iron grate in the ceiling were nine bodies. Another body was hanging across the room from the others. The eleventh member of the Chundawat family, the grandmother, was laying on the floor beside a bed, with a belt and scarf wrapped around her neck. All eleven members of the family were dead, but nobody could understand why. Had the Chundawat family been part of a ritualistic mass suicide or were they the victims of murder?

Between the years of 1993 and 2014, five young women between the ages of 16 and 37 disappeared in Humboldt County, California. Unlike the large majority of missing persons cases, these five have not been solved. While not all of the cases are believed to be connected, the five women were grouped together due to the suspicious circumstances of their disappearances and the lack of answers in their cases. The five women, now known as the Humboldt Five, are still either missing or presumed dead, with very little evidence and no resolutions. What happened to the Humboldt Five?

Part 2 of 2: On January 13th, 1999, 18-year-old high school senior, Hae Min Lee was reported missing by her family. She’d been leaving school that day, but had never arrived to pick up her younger cousin from school. In the time span of less than 30 minutes it seemed, the young woman had vanished. Less than a month later, Hae’s body was found in a park, partially buried. She had been strangled to death. The investigation that ensued resulted in Hae’s ex-boyfriend, 17-year-old Adnan Syed, being convicted of her murder and sentenced to life in prison. However, after a judge recently ruled that the prosecution had failed to turn over evidence that could’ve altered the jury’s verdict, Adnan’s sentence was vacated. Shortly after, the state dropped the charges against him. Was Adnan Syed wrongly convicted? Was his counsel ineffective or was he truly proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?
