Murder, She Told25 Nov 2022

The Brutal Murders of Champa and Anita Patel

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.
