About this episode

In September of 2015, a Los Angeles apartment building full of UCLA sorority sisters caught on fire. Luckily, no one was killed in the flames, but to the surprise of its residents, a 21-year-old woman’s remains were revealed inside. The manner of death was ruled homicide after it was determined she had been stabbed 19 times, and as police reviewed surveillance footage in the area and interviewed locals, a suspect emerged. This is the murder of Andrea DelVesco.
