103. Agony: The Murder of Tina Arriaga

In March 1994, 28-year-old Tina Marie Arriaga dropped off her two young daughters at their grandmother’s house in Long Branch, New Jersey. She told her mother she was running to the pharmacy. She never came back. Weeks later, Tina’s body was discovered behind an auto shop, strangled and beaten. No one has ever been charged.

For more than 30 years, Tina’s family has lived with unanswered questions and growing doubts about the investigation. Her daughter, Patricia, joins Method & Madness to share her mother’s story and to ask the questions no one else has:
Was this case neglected? Or covered up?

“I have missed out on so much throughout my life because of someone else's actions. And I am ready to close this chapter. I'm ready to give my mother justice, and I also want my daughter to see that her voice matters,” Patricia says.

If you have any information about the murder of Tina Arriaga, please get in touch with:
The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, Detective Matthew Delgado at 800-533-7443.
