Latest / PNW Haunts & Homicides / Arpana Jinaga: A Halloween Murder & Broken Justice | Redmond, WA
Transcript
- 0:00How a case is approached from minute one matters.
- 0:09Because one misstep can leave so much room for speculation, for doubt, and ultimately,
- 0:16a completely solvable case may end up in a stack of unsolved cold cases or become
- 0:22a conspiracy theory where no one can agree on a firm accounting of many of the facts.
- 0:38Hi Cassie.
- 0:39Hi Caitlyn.
- 0:40Hi creepy people.
- 0:42Hello.
- 0:43Hello.
- 0:44If you're new to our creepy corner of the world, this is PNW Haunts and Homicides, where we chat
- 0:50about true crime, paranormal, and all things creepy in the Pacific Northwest.
- 0:58We also do a tarot reading at the end of every episode for deeper insight into our topic.
- 1:05So make sure you stick around if you're into that witchy goodness.
- 1:09All right, so today while you're listening to this more than likely, it's Halloween,
- 1:15that's the day we're releasing this episode.
- 1:17So I am so excited.
- 1:19I love Halloween.
- 1:21I love Halloween.
- 1:23Halloweeny.
- 1:25I like weenies too.
- 1:26Oh boy.
- 1:27Well, get a good chuckle in now.
- 1:31Cause I'm going to I'm going to quash that laughter.
- 1:35Yeah, I know.
- 1:36Yeah, it's kind of my thing.
- 1:38You guys, I just have to start this episode by saying that real life and particularly true
- 1:44crime, well, they're both pretty messy.
- 1:49Kind of like when I was trying to put those little drinks skewers on with our fancy rosemary
- 1:54and apple.
- 1:55It's a pretty looking cocktail though.
- 1:57Yeah, you'd never know that there was a mess involved.
- 2:00Yeah, but there was.
- 2:03This wasn't exactly what I thought I was getting into when I started researching the case.
- 2:09And I might have considered going with a different case for Halloween under different circumstances.
- 2:15Maybe something from a bygone era that allowed us all to get a little bit of distance.
- 2:22Celebrate in a more lighthearted way and maybe you'll wish that I did.
- 2:28I hope not.
- 2:29We can all be fun in games all the time.
- 2:32This is true.
- 2:33This is true.
- 2:34That's not life, baby.
- 2:37But this case has almost ripped me in half.
- 2:41I swear.
- 2:43It's more times than I can count.
- 2:46It made me angry and I hope there's a lot about this story that makes you angry but also
- 2:51makes you think.
- 2:53I know that we can't all be out changing the very fabric of society each and every day
- 2:59as individuals.
- 3:01But we can refuse to look away and we can sit in uncomfortable spaces in the hopes of
- 3:08growing.
- 3:10Please come with us.
- 3:11I mean, uncomfortable is nice sometimes, right?
- 3:17It makes you enjoy the comfortable.
- 3:19I'm hoping that's what everybody is going to say.
- 3:24Well, I said it for them.
- 3:26Perfect.
- 3:28Now you'll recall we were discussing Emanual Fair's trial.
- 3:33That's the short little mini sneak peak clip, if you will, that was part of our Halloween
- 3:40collaboration.
- 3:42That's the case we're talking about today.
- 3:45Spoilers.
- 3:47Not really spoilers.
- 3:48No, not at all.
- 3:49Unless you haven't listened to it, go back, maybe.
- 3:52Yeah, I would say.
- 3:53And there's two parts to the collaboration.
- 3:57If somehow you missed part two, drop in, go back and listen to that.
- 4:02I'm sure there's some fun creepy stuff in there too.
- 4:04We're actually in part two.
- 4:07This case truly spans decades already.
- 4:12Investigators could not establish an exact time of death, instead speculating that our
- 4:17panna had died at some point early in the morning hours following the Halloween party.
- 4:24Sometime between 3 and 8 a.m.
- 4:27The witching hour.
- 4:28Yeah.
- 4:30If you're following up listening to the first segment of this story from the Halloween
- 4:34collaboration, you might also recall that they found Arpana at the foot of her bed.
- 4:41Her autopsy would later show that she died of esphyxia by ligature strangulation.
- 4:48Her manner of death was obviously brutal, but within the report it was also noted that
- 4:54she had sustained multiple blunt force injuries.
- 4:58However, there are a number of details that we omitted from that short excerpt of the
- 5:03story for, obviously for brevity.
- 5:08The attack that she had endured and specifically the head trauma resulted in several broken teeth,
- 5:17which is a particular no no for my brain.
- 5:19Yeah, as soon as you said teeth, I was like, "Uh oh, she hates it."
- 5:23I hate it.
- 5:25But it's these next couple of details that are upsetting, I think, for all of the brains,
- 5:31but I do think that they're important to share so that you understand the depth of depravity
- 5:36when it comes to her killer.
- 5:40Arpana was also gagged using her own underwear, and duct tape was applied as well to keep that
- 5:48in place.
- 5:49Oh God, using someone's own underwear is just like so.
- 5:52What is that word demoralizing?
- 5:54It is.
- 5:55Demeaning all of that.
- 5:57Yeah, it's really.
- 5:59Yeah.
- 6:00Presumably prior to her assault, though the final detail related to her assault isn't
- 6:06completely clear in regards to the timeline.
- 6:11And I'm going to tell you that final detail now.
- 6:13Okay.
- 6:16Prior to the sexual assault, her tampon was removed.
- 6:21Oh, okay.
- 6:22Which is just, to me, a level of horror that I feel like it's probably wrapped up in a lot
- 6:32of shame more than anything about female bodily functions, but it really got me in a place
- 6:41that I didn't know I had feels.
- 6:44And I hate it.
- 6:45Well, even if you don't have shame, which nobody should, about their womanly bleed, it's
- 6:51fine.
- 6:52I'm not sure if it's clear, but like it's just so intimate, I feel like it is.
- 6:57Yeah.
- 6:58It is really intimate.
- 6:59Yeah.
- 7:00I mean, so is sex, obviously, but there's just, yeah, there's something about that, you're right.
- 7:03But to do that, which is this, you know, my God, a very like you say, intimate and not in
- 7:09a good way, yeah, there's no positive connotation there.
- 7:14And then to do something this brutal to her, I just, I can't fathom it.
- 7:21You'll also recall the laundry list of odd household items that were used pretty bizarrely
- 7:29seemingly to eradicate evidence bleach, blue toilet bowl cleaner, a common household type
- 7:37of soap and motor oil.
- 7:40Ugh, the motor oil thing is just really freaks me out.
- 7:46Expanding on that, apparently the killer scrubbed her body with bleach.
- 7:50Oh, scrubbed it?
- 7:54That's how I've heard it described.
- 7:59Investigators even noting that her hands were stained blue from some type of highly acidic
- 8:05cleaning agent.
- 8:07So I think that's where the toilet bowl cleaner comes in.
- 8:10What the fuck?
- 8:12It's very strange.
- 8:14So let's talk about potential perpetrators.
- 8:19Now before a manual was charged, police had another person of interest, several, in fact,
- 8:27one of whom was a neighbor of Arpana's, a white man in his twenties, the same neighbor
- 8:33who'd entered the apartment with Arpana's family friend.
- 8:38Also notably someone who is also reportedly considered a suspect in the early days of the
- 8:44case.
- 8:45So these are the two people that discovered her body.
- 8:49One is a neighbor, one is a family friend.
- 8:53That sucks to find that and then be also accused.
- 8:57I could not agree more.
- 8:59I suspected, not accused, but suspected.
- 9:01Yeah, I mean, the fact that they suspect you sort of implies an accusation in a way.
- 9:09The initial investigation focused on this individual and that is the neighbor who is unlikely
- 9:19to be named in most source material that you would come across in this case.
- 9:23Unlike Emanual, of course.
- 9:27So a lot of source material protects a number of these potential suspects or persons of
- 9:35interest, their names.
- 9:39And unfortunately, obviously that same level of courtesy or privacy that they're afforded
- 9:47is not something that you'll see for Emanual.
- 9:52I was going to say that's understandable that they wouldn't want to release their names.
- 9:58Yeah, I feel like it is somewhat unusual.
- 10:03I think more often than not, we see the names of potential perpetrators being shared.
- 10:08So that kind of, in my mind, that sort of threw up a flag that there's so many of them
- 10:14that have by and large remained unnamed.
- 10:19At the time, investigators found the neighbor's activities on the night in question a little
- 10:24bit suspicious.
- 10:27His phone records revealed that he called Arpana at around 3 a.m.
- 10:32on the earliest end of time window of her death.
- 10:35So, okay.
- 10:39Why?
- 10:41I just have to say, why?
- 10:44He said he did not remember making the call.
- 10:47Okay, well, come on.
- 10:50Yeah, I don't love that, but this individual's DNA was also the primary profile found on key
- 10:57pieces of evidence such as the bottle of motor oil that was discovered in a bag, along
- 11:04with what authorities presumed was the red robe that Arpana wore on the dates in question,
- 11:13as well as inside the window of her apartment.
- 11:16So, oh, we've got his DNA in one form or fashion.
- 11:21In the motor oil?
- 11:23Uh-huh.
- 11:26And he wasn't charged?
- 11:28Nope.
- 11:29Other than fair and the neighbor, no other DNA profiles from party goers present that night
- 11:36were found on evidence at the crime scene.
- 11:40According to court records, there's still more.
- 11:44Like the lighter that was found in his apartment with a sticky substance on it that could have
- 11:50been motor oil, but investigators never collected it.
- 11:55What?
- 11:56Okay.
- 11:57I see that there's some shenanigans going on here.
- 12:00Well, that's one way to put it.
- 12:03Also located in the search was a list of pawn shops that was printed the day that Arpana
- 12:09was killed.
- 12:10Both her phone and digital camera were never recovered that I could determine.
- 12:16Okay.
- 12:17I think the thought process there being that maybe this person stole those items and went
- 12:25to pawn them, but they never found them at pawn shops or anything or did they even look?
- 12:31I, it's unclear.
- 12:33Yep.
- 12:34Caitlyn, you're supposed to know everything.
- 12:36I, I wish.
- 12:38Several people present the night of the party stated that they saw him quote, exhibit jealous
- 12:45behavior when she talked to other men at the party.
- 12:49Ugh.
- 12:50So, also that.
- 12:52A review of the transcript of his interview with police reveals that he reported hearing
- 12:57sounds coming from her apartment around 3 a.m.
- 13:02But he didn't make much of it and waited until roughly 10 a.m. to call her the next morning.
- 13:09When police looked at his phone, they noted that he had also called her at 2:56 a.m.
- 13:17and 3:02 a.m.
- 13:18Okay.
- 13:19That sounds like someone who is jealous.
- 13:23Yeah.
- 13:24I mean, that's definitely right before the window of time where she died as well.
- 13:29And if he's hearing stuff from her room and then was like, oh, I didn't think anything about
- 13:33it, but earlier was exhibiting jealous behavior.
- 13:37Okay.
- 13:38Okay.
- 13:39So, here's probably the best part about this, which it doesn't mean anything to be clear.
- 13:45I'm not saying that anyone in this case is guilty when confronted with the evidence that
- 13:53they found in his call log.
- 13:58My notes say to which he said, oh, crap.
- 14:03Before insisting that he didn't remember why he called her.
- 14:07Oh, crap.
- 14:09Huh?
- 14:10Yeah.
- 14:11Yeah, guy.
- 14:12Yeah.
- 14:13Yeah, which could be a thousand percent accurate.
- 14:17It could be a simple misremembering of the facts after the fact when alcohol was likely
- 14:25heavily involved for many of these people, or it could have been a butt dial for that
- 14:31matter.
- 14:32I mean, drunk dialing is a thing, butt dialing is a thing, especially at that point.
- 14:37Yeah.
- 14:38Yeah.
- 14:39At a point in time where you very literally could butt dial.
- 14:43You can't really do that now.
- 14:45Everyone's got their phone, you know, with a passcode or something.
- 14:49Yeah.
- 14:50Yeah.
- 14:51But of course, I saved the most bizarre detail for last that viewed in a certain light is
- 14:58perhaps the most damning.
- 15:01According to interviews by the police, it was at roughly 10 a.m. on the morning that Arpana
- 15:06was killed that this man's decided to drive two hours up to Canada.
- 15:14Oh, okay.
- 15:16Where he wait for it.
- 15:19Try to blow through the gates without a passport.
- 15:25He told detectives he wanted to quote, explore honey.
- 15:32Go south.
- 15:33Yeah.
- 15:34Yeah.
- 15:35That is a little bit.
- 15:36But seriously, like if you're going to try to blow through a border, I wouldn't have tried
- 15:40Canada.
- 15:41Yeah.
- 15:42I mean, I understand that it was closer.
- 15:43Yeah.
- 15:44I.
- 15:45That is super.
- 15:46That is like not okay.
- 15:47It's it's very erratic.
- 15:50It's very strange.
- 15:53This next paragraph, I'm just taking directly from a Rolling Stones article that primarily
- 15:59focused on Emanual's life and the impact of the case.
- 16:07At the end of the interview when investigators had started putting pressure on him, he asked
- 16:12investigators to turn off the recording and he discussed something that can't be found
- 16:18in the police record.
- 16:19What?
- 16:22When asked what the neighbor said in a pretrial interview obtained by the suspect
- 16:27podcast, detective codes simply said, I don't recall, despite the apparent evidence against
- 16:36him, investigators let him leave the police station with his blackberry according to police
- 16:44records, which he subsequently scrubbed.
- 16:48So when you're asked, what what did the neighbor who tried to literally flee the country
- 16:54say in his pretrial interview, I don't recall.
- 17:00Also we let him leave the station with his blackberry and it has subsequently been wiped
- 17:05just to tidy up that little summary for you in case your brain actually exploded hearing
- 17:15that the first time.
- 17:16I don't recall where my brain went.
- 17:18Yeah.
- 17:19Through the ceiling actually.
- 17:21Wow.
- 17:22Obviously, you know.
- 17:23We went up to the roof and she took her brain out and she said, a throat on the ground.
- 17:32I was going to say there's a Caitlyn and Cassie brain shaped hole in the ceiling.
- 17:36Yeah.
- 17:37Absolutely.
- 17:38Did that make sense?
- 17:39Yeah, I did.
- 17:42Here's the kind of crazy thing to me.
- 17:47Even if based on some of the DNA and other forensic evidence, the idea might have seemed
- 17:53plausible.
- 17:55Ostensibly, the prosecution wanted to charge Emmanuel, an only Emanuel, which they did, but
- 18:03they wanted to argue that maybe the neighbor had something to do with it.
- 18:10This next part is about how that shook out.
- 18:15I just can't believe this.
- 18:16Like, yeah, I would say that the neighbor looks a little, maybe not hands perfectly clean.
- 18:23On this, but what do I know?
- 18:26I mean, if his DNA was found on the motor oil, that was a part of the crime scene evidence
- 18:35taken, I just feel like that's.
- 18:38It doesn't look great.
- 18:39Yeah.
- 18:40But it's like they can't make up a clear series of events.
- 18:46They can't figure out who has the motive or.
- 18:51So when you bring a case to court, ideally, you want to really know exactly what happened.
- 18:57Yeah.
- 18:58That's how you get a conviction.
- 19:01Before the trial, it was decided that the evidence linking the neighbor to possible involvement
- 19:06in the crime was admissible.
- 19:09But the prosecution would of course argue that incriminating evidence against the neighbor
- 19:15did not inherently mean that Emanual was innocent, which is true.
- 19:22But for Christ's sake, guys, can you just present a clear case?
- 19:26Anyways, I digress.
- 19:28It seemed far more reasonable that two people who would only just barely met might have teamed
- 19:35up on this horrific crime out of the blue.
- 19:39Because why not, right?
- 19:41I know I like to.
- 19:43I don't like to.
- 19:44But I do do this.
- 19:46I know that I often assume the worst about men, but this seems a bit of a stretch.
- 19:53Yeah, I agree.
- 19:54According to the state's case, the neighbor was classified more accurately as an uncharged
- 20:00accomplice rather than the other suspect.
- 20:04Though to be fair, prosecutors were barred from using the argument that the neighbor and
- 20:10Emanual had acted as accomplices.
- 20:14It's a reason that there wasn't sufficient evidence to support theory, which no shit
- 20:19sure lock.
- 20:21The state court of appeals upheld the court's decision and the state's Supreme Court ultimately
- 20:28declined to review it.
- 20:30This is just so ridiculous.
- 20:31Like if you can't figure out who you think did it and whether or not it was more than
- 20:38one perpetrator, maybe that's not a case we take to court.
- 20:41I was gonna say maybe you're not ready yet, maybe sit on that egg a little while and let
- 20:46it hatch.
- 20:47You let you put that one back in the oven.
- 20:49She needs to keep cooking.
- 20:50We were restricted in what we could say in that they may have acted together, said Brian
- 20:56McDonald, one of two lead prosecutors on the case.
- 21:01You'll know I did include his name.
- 21:04This restriction allowed the defense to argue that any evidence involving the neighbor
- 21:10should be reasonable doubt as to whether Emanuel committed the crime.
- 21:16Emanuel contends in a lawsuit that authorities, quote, ignored and failed to gather evidence
- 21:23that did not align with their theory of the case.
- 21:27Because yeah, in case it wasn't already clear, there's a lawsuit.
- 21:31That's good.
- 21:33Yeah, I tend to think so.
- 21:36Now there are additional persons of interest that you'd hear more about in more in-depth
- 21:42coverage in a multi-part case series.
- 21:47I did not do that.
- 21:48It's only Halloween for one day.
- 21:51Yeah, this was already a lot.
- 21:54Some of them were part of a local motorcycle group that Arpana had joined.
- 21:59Oh, Arpana!
- 22:00I know.
- 22:01I love that.
- 22:02Don't love that they're suspected.
- 22:04Yeah.
- 22:05I like this next party, the less.
- 22:07Okay.
- 22:08Two of the members of the group had a history of sexual crimes.
- 22:12But one in particular had been actively sexually harassing her reportedly.
- 22:18Oh, so that's damn.
- 22:22Depending on how shaded you are, this next part may or may not surprise you at this point.
- 22:28Police also found DNA from a third biker who she had been sleeping with on her costume.
- 22:35That's where they found the DNA.
- 22:37And on the sheet that was draped over her body.
- 22:41Okay.
- 22:42I mean, if she was already doing it with them, I could see how...
- 22:45Maybe that was already there.
- 22:47Yeah.
- 22:48It's hard to say.
- 22:49Additionally, there was another resident at the apartment complex that unfortunately died
- 22:54by suicide just days after her death.
- 22:57Oh, no.
- 23:01This individual's DNA was never compared to the crime scene according to the most recent
- 23:06reporting on the case based primarily on Emanuel's lawsuit.
- 23:12So I have every reason to think that I'm not mistaken here.
- 23:18Unfortunately, they did not test that person's DNA against the evidence.
- 23:23Oh, so that's us.
- 23:25That's unfortunate.
- 23:27Now here's where we turn a corner because this case certainly at least feels more complicated
- 23:36than I understood it to be at the outset because there are certainly factors related to
- 23:42the individuals involved in this case that are at least cause for concern or consideration,
- 23:50maybe pause.
- 23:51And that of course includes Emanuel.
- 23:55I say this with trepidation because I can't tell you that I've landed on my own personal,
- 24:03solid theory in this case.
- 24:06But I want to represent as much information about every aspect of the case as I can so
- 24:13that you walk away feeling like maybe you can decide for yourself.
- 24:20If it were more clear, you know, I take no issue with roasting the guilty party.
- 24:27The problem is that in a case like this, it just might be too ambiguous to do so with
- 24:33any confidence.
- 24:34Oh, and yeah, we don't want to be sued.
- 24:38Yeah, no.
- 24:39So there's that.
- 24:41A handful of years before our Arpana's horrific murder, Emanuel Fair had been arrested and
- 24:48charged with raping a minor.
- 24:52Ew.
- 24:54According to the 15 year old victim, he had raped her numerous times, which is unimaginably
- 25:01awful.
- 25:02However, there was an additional altercation that took place in Burian where Emanuel reportedly
- 25:11choked the girl at gunpoint.
- 25:13Oh, the choking.
- 25:17He was arrested for this crime and ended up pleading guilty to avoid a decade plus prison
- 25:24sentence, pleading down from second degree to third degree rape.
- 25:31Though Emanuel began serving out his four year sentence in 2004, he would ultimately be
- 25:38released in less than three years.
- 25:42At the time of his release, he was labeled a level one offender, meaning he was amongst
- 25:49those considered the least likely to reoffend.
- 25:53If you want to hear another infuriating case about someone labeled a level one sex offender,
- 26:00go back and listen to the Richard Gilmore aka the jogger rapist case.
- 26:07I remember that.
- 26:08That's the first thing that popped in my head when he said that.
- 26:13At gunpoint.
- 26:16Reportedly.
- 26:17Yeah.
- 26:18Okay.
- 26:19Yeah.
- 26:20Report allegedly.
- 26:21I get it.
- 26:22Yeah.
- 26:23I mean, he was convicted.
- 26:24So I feel like I'm honestly probably being a bit generous.
- 26:27But we're trying to parse out some nuance here.
- 26:30Yeah.
- 26:31However, as is often the case, Immanuel failed to abide by the terms of his release and ultimately
- 26:38his probation violations landed him in custody of the state again.
- 26:44Once released in the fall of 2006, Emanuel would commence a roughly three year long period
- 26:51of cycling between either homelessness or prison incarceration.
- 26:56Damn.
- 26:57This included the period in which Arpana was murdered.
- 27:02He was couch surfing with a friend that lived in the complex on that fateful night.
- 27:08Initially the friend he had been staying with lied about the fact when questioned by police.
- 27:15But they were later able to determine he had been present by coming through the various
- 27:20photos that partygoers had taken.
- 27:24Many posted to Facebook as was the norm for many 20-somethings at that time.
- 27:29Yeah.
- 27:30Social media will get your ass.
- 27:34Once jailed he would remain there for eight years, seven months and 14 days.
- 27:43Let's recall that this is all without ever being convicted of a crime.
- 27:51Jesus.
- 27:52At least not this crime.
- 27:54That's a long time though.
- 27:57Yes.
- 27:58I probably said that last time, but oh my god.
- 28:02During this period he was primarily isolated due in large part to the fact that the facility
- 28:09was not designed for long term imprisonment.
- 28:15Throughout the duration he maintained his innocence.
- 28:20So what does it tell you when someone has basically overstayed their welcome in a facility
- 28:27that's not meant for someone to be held long term?
- 28:33There's so many things wrong with that.
- 28:35And if you held for eight years when you're saying you're innocent, if you're really innocent
- 28:40and then you're being kept in solitary, oh my god, that just fucks with you.
- 28:48So I would implore you to listen to this next section with an open mind.
- 28:55Not because I necessarily feel confident that Emanual is completely innocent, but because
- 29:02we're all supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.
- 29:07And because at this stage, whether what's been shared with you up to this point has you
- 29:12convinced one way or another regarding Emanual's guilt or innocence or another suspects
- 29:19for that matter, it's important to note that there's no official resolution.
- 29:25How a case is approached from minute one matters because one misstep can leave so much room
- 29:36for speculation, for doubt, and ultimately a completely solvable case may end up in a
- 29:43stack of unsolved cold cases or become a conspiracy theory where no one can agree on a firm
- 29:50accounting of many of the facts.
- 29:56As indie podcasters, we love to show our support of other awesome shows.
- 30:01So stay tuned for the promo we've got to share with you this week.
- 30:05Let's show them some love you can find their info in our show notes.
- 30:13Can you hear me?
- 30:14Good to have you back with us.
- 30:16I hope you don't mind that I am recording for investigative notes.
- 30:20It's a wax cylinder, the only thing we've found that can pick up the voices of people in
- 30:26your condition.
- 30:27My name is Owen von Sid, I am a reclamer.
- 30:31Do you know what that means?
- 30:32No?
- 30:33Well, I am sorry to inform you that you didn't make it.
- 30:38Please try to remain calm.
- 30:40The worst is over.
- 30:42Nothing can hurt you, not ever again.
- 30:45But the thing that did this to you is still out there.
- 30:49That is what we do.
- 30:51I wake unfortunate souls such as yourself, hear their stories, then my associates and I
- 30:57see to it that whoever or whatever did this to you is dealt with.
- 31:03Now let's begin.
- 31:05When you are ready.
- 31:07Tell me.
- 31:09How did you die?
- 31:11Ghost Wax is an anthology horror podcast from far-intel tales productions.
- 31:17New episodes releasing weekly.
- 31:19Look for us wherever you get your podcasts.
- 31:25You guys were back.
- 31:28And don't worry, we did get more wine.
- 31:30Well, of course.
- 31:35Emanuel would ultimately face two trials.
- 31:39In our previous discussion of the case, we left off at the first in 2017.
- 31:46The trial ended in a hung jury because of one juror who said, "And yes, this is a quote."
- 31:56After the trial that when he looked at Emanuel, he saw a "thug" with tattoos on his hands.
- 32:07Okay.
- 32:08The second trial ended in June of 2019.
- 32:13Jesus.
- 32:15The jury determined that the detectives and prosecutors had never had a strong enough case
- 32:22against him.
- 32:24He was cleared of all charges and was released.
- 32:28Which makes it all seem too easy.
- 32:33Now, two years later, he's suing everyone that had the power to put him in that cell.
- 32:42He filed a lawsuit against the county, the city of Redmond, the Redmond Police Department,
- 32:49even the detective on the case.
- 32:52The prosecutor, amongst many others, were later added to the complaint by his legal team.
- 33:00Quoting again here.
- 33:02The suit contends that he never would have been in that cell and certainly not for years
- 33:10if he weren't a black man with a criminal record.
- 33:14The suit describes an investigation that was so badly handled it can only be characterized
- 33:22as bizarre.
- 33:24Yeah, holy shit.
- 33:29What's upsetting about that is that it's really not that bizarre.
- 33:34Yeah.
- 33:35It's baffling, but I would argue it is something we're all a little too accustomed to.
- 33:45Yeah, pretty common.
- 33:46And again, I'm not clamoring saying that I believe him to necessarily be innocent, but two
- 33:55rungs don't make a right.
- 33:58Rolling stones account of Emanual's case and the investigation into Arpana's murder
- 34:04is based on more than a thousand pages of case files and legal documents.
- 34:10They show that there was persuasive evidence against at least six other suspects that the
- 34:18detectives were investigating none of whom were black and none of whom spent a day in jail
- 34:26for Arpana's murder.
- 34:30His lawsuit claims the detectives on the case ignored and failed to gather evidence that
- 34:36did not align with their theory of the case, but it also alleges they treated Emanual so
- 34:43differently than the white suspects that the treatment can only be viewed as racial discrimination.
- 34:51It's very clear.
- 34:54I mean, if that's not what it is, then they really fucked themselves.
- 35:00They really shot themselves in the foot by just bungling through.
- 35:05The case files illustrate a number of breaches of protocol, some characterized as careless
- 35:12errors, which is not something I ever want to see in connection with a murder investigation.
- 35:21You'd hope.
- 35:23Just a few examples, such as not training their detectives to change gloves between DNA
- 35:29samples.
- 35:30What the fuck years is this?
- 35:32I literally don't remember.
- 35:34I think it's like 2009.
- 35:37Way after CSI.
- 35:38Like, you know these things, even if you're not trained.
- 35:42You should know.
- 35:43Right.
- 35:44Jesus, really.
- 35:45They didn't change their effing gloves.
- 35:47You have to do that while handling food.
- 35:53And also not securing key locations of the crime scene.
- 36:00There's more.
- 36:02To calling in a famous psychic medium to weigh in on the case, which like do you boo, but
- 36:09you don't get to do that when you've done all of the other things that predate that.
- 36:17Yeah.
- 36:18Doing that should just supplement all the right things you do.
- 36:20I just, and there's a lot of people that would say, no, you never do that.
- 36:25So I feel as though we're being fairly generous.
- 36:29And I think it's because we're witches, but the case against a manual that led to his nearly
- 36:37nine years spent behind bars relied heavily on DNA evidence.
- 36:43Trace amounts found on Arpana's neck, her robe, and the duct tape used to restrain
- 36:50her.
- 36:51But understanding how some of that evidence could have been mishandled, certainly muddies
- 36:57the water.
- 36:59It also seems fair to say that Emanual's background likely led to bias as well.
- 37:05When they ran a background check and discovered that he had a record, they may have immediately
- 37:10thought they'd found their man.
- 37:13Though the bulk of the report showed mostly juvenile offenses like possession of drugs
- 37:18and an unlicensed weapon.
- 37:23There was a charge that would have stood out from 2004, the third degree rape charge.
- 37:30He had entered an Alfred plea in that case, which means that he accepted the plea agreement
- 37:38while still maintaining his innocence.
- 37:43A common tactic when you can't afford to go to trial.
- 37:47Oh, that just makes me so sad because what if he is innocent of all of it?
- 37:54He spent three years in prison for that charge.
- 37:58In a 2016 pretrial interview obtained by the suspect podcast, Detective Cotes was asked
- 38:08if the prior conviction was significant to his investigation.
- 38:14He replied, "If you've done it before, you'll do it again."
- 38:19Oh, come on.
- 38:21Which I hate how much.
- 38:25It brought up Richard Gilmore for me because that's exactly what I would say about him.
- 38:35Yeah.
- 38:36And hopefully, I'm wrong.
- 38:39I'm fucking hopes so too.
- 38:43Which may well be at least anecdotally correct.
- 38:48I think there are statistics to back that up with certain types of crimes, but it doesn't
- 38:53necessarily look great to have said that on the record regarding this case.
- 38:59Yeah, because you're never going to get rid of that.
- 39:01You're always going to have that bias now.
- 39:03Yep.
- 39:04But of course, it was the testing of the DNA that really got us here.
- 39:09His DNA matched a sample found on Arpana's robe that was found at the crime scene, which
- 39:16as you'll recall was an unsecured apartment unit and the complex dumpster, essentially.
- 39:24They also confirmed that he was a match to DNA connected to the role of duct tape that
- 39:30was used in the crime scene as well, which would be damning, but I feel as though there could
- 39:36be plenty of reasonable explanations on Halloween night for him to have touched that in a completely
- 39:43unrelated manner.
- 39:45Doesn't that seem like something, you know, like part of your costume is, you know, coming
- 39:51apart.
- 39:52Maybe you need a piece of duct tape or I don't know.
- 39:56I just feel like in a big group of drunk people, presumably on Halloween night at a Halloween
- 40:03party in costumes, like something breaks.
- 40:08I just, I came up with a few different ideas for like why maybe that happened.
- 40:14Yeah.
- 40:15Why would you need duct tape?
- 40:16What would you need it for?
- 40:18Why would there be a perfectly reasonable, like alternate story behind that?
- 40:24Well, people use duct tape all the time.
- 40:27It's a staple, so I think it's less suspicious than the fucking motor oil.
- 40:31Yeah.
- 40:32I have to agree.
- 40:34I have to agree.
- 40:35But it's hard to know one way or the other.
- 40:38There was also a match to a tiny sliver of DNA, so small that it had to be sent to a specialized
- 40:46lab on the front of Arpana's neck.
- 40:50So, but I have to wonder if our evolving understanding of touch DNA in more recent years
- 40:59perhaps changes the perception of how valuable this particular sample is to the prosecution's
- 41:06case.
- 41:07It's entirely possible in certain situations, especially if you were engaged in some type
- 41:16of an intimate or sexual encounter that was consensual that you could leave DNA behind
- 41:24on someone.
- 41:25Yeah.
- 41:26So, this case is really one of the first where I thought to myself, wow, is that even evidence?
- 41:36I'm certainly not going to, I'm not going to say one way or the other.
- 41:42I don't have enough detailed in-depth knowledge of how that DNA testing is done, you know,
- 41:52what the sample size is, but it's my new, it's done by a specialty lab and it definitely
- 41:59makes you wonder.
- 42:00Did they say what it was?
- 42:02What if he just like sneezed on her?
- 42:04Yeah, that's the other thing is, you know, I probably could have dug around any of the
- 42:09court records to find out like, okay, is this blood, is this semen, is this spit, is this,
- 42:14but to me, it almost is like, if it's really that minute, it almost doesn't even matter.
- 42:20Yeah.
- 42:22I don't know.
- 42:23It's about a hug or something, what if, I don't know.
- 42:26I mean, quite literally, I've been hearing more and more about cases where people are convicted
- 42:32on, you know, such minute samples or, you know, this kind of, the principle of it being touch
- 42:41DNA and it really sets people up to look guilty when they're not because the jury is made
- 42:51up of people like me who don't really understand that like, this is minute and they're not going
- 42:59out of their way to explain that.
- 43:01Police files show that there are multiple other men in Arpana's life that had as much
- 43:08if not more evidence against them and several more that were never thoroughly investigated.
- 43:16The key difference between them, the suit alleges is that none of the other men were black.
- 43:22Under the law, probable cause requires you to look at the whole picture.
- 43:27You can't leave out the fact that there was basically everyone else's DNA at the scene
- 43:33too and they did.
- 43:36And that's a quote actually taken from a statement provided by Emanuel's legal team.
- 43:43And you know what, they're not wrong.
- 43:45No, because they're lawyers, so they checked.
- 43:49They lawyered hard.
- 43:51They lawyered so hard.
- 43:53His and an uncle showed up at the courthouse every day during his trial.
- 43:59Whenever his case was on the docket, even if he wasn't going to be there, they packed lunch
- 44:05and snacks for long hours spent on hard courthouse benches.
- 44:10Now his aunt describes that time as understandably the worst years.
- 44:18Years.
- 44:19I just, I cannot believe how long it took.
- 44:23Emanuel now lives with the couple as he attempts to rebuild his life, but he struggled finding
- 44:29suitable long term employment.
- 44:32I, yeah, make sense.
- 44:35But prepare yourself because you're going to be super pissed about some of the employment
- 44:39that he has found.
- 44:41According to the Rolling Stone, since his release, he exists in a strange systemic purgatory.
- 44:49A man who was incarcerated for nearly a decade, but never convicted of a crime.
- 44:55Emanuel says that while he was in jail, he dreaded the possibility of being convicted and
- 45:02exonerated.
- 45:03His lawyers say that in some ways, at least, he would have been better off if he had been.
- 45:11His lawyer said, let's imagine that Immanuel was wrongfully convicted.
- 45:19He would have spent a number of years in prison, but when he got out, he would be on parole.
- 45:25There would be people to help him get a job, to help him get his feet on the ground, some
- 45:31very, very needed mental health care.
- 45:36He suffers from depression, anxiety and PTSD, but because he wasn't convicted, he's got nothing.
- 45:45Nothing, they don't do anything for you.
- 45:50And I said, you're going to hate what kind of work he has found.
- 45:55He has worked in security.
- 45:58I was going to say security, which is just, you know, for anyone that's been convicted of
- 46:07a crime previously, you know, this is prior to the crime that we're even talking about today.
- 46:12I'm sorry, you just, what?
- 46:15Yeah, security, but security, you know, it should feel secure.
- 46:23It boggles the mind.
- 46:26And this next part, it really makes me want to cry.
- 46:31Emanuel says that he was reluctant to file his lawsuit at first, knowing that Arpana's
- 46:38family still hasn't gotten justice.
- 46:42There's no resolution for this case, no resolution for her.
- 46:46He said that?
- 46:49That just makes me feel like he is innocent.
- 46:52I mean, it could be for show, but I just don't know why you would say something like that.
- 46:57Just never talk about it again.
- 46:59Right.
- 47:00I mean, you're in a lawsuit, but still.
- 47:02Yeah.
- 47:03I don't know.
- 47:04It really, it really makes you think.
- 47:06And I definitely, I'll show you some of the photos that I found.
- 47:11And you can help me pick out our, our photos for the, for any of our posts this week.
- 47:18But my God, to look at some of these photos, I just think it's, it's going to be a tough,
- 47:27tough thing for someone to convince me that, that this is the guy.
- 47:32And the fact that he, the Alfred plea, in the case where he was convicted, it just, yeah,
- 47:40it's a really sad story from every single angle.
- 47:46So, because he never got the chance the first time to prove he was innocent.
- 47:51Yeah.
- 47:52He just had to do that.
- 47:54Yeah.
- 47:55So happy fucking Halloween.
- 47:59This was it.
- 48:00Yeah, it was, it was a really rough one.
- 48:02Do you see these?
- 48:03I have goosebumps all over me.
- 48:05Yeah, my feet have been getting really chilled.
- 48:08That's why I have one leg up in my chair.
- 48:10It didn't start until you said that quote.
- 48:12And then I just, all of a sudden got all my hair is standing out.
- 48:16I've had the chili willies for about three or four minutes now.
- 48:20Yeah.
- 48:21So, wow.
- 48:23Yeah.
- 48:24So, you think we should do some, Tarot?
- 48:28Yeah, let's do some, Tarot.
- 48:30Tara.
- 48:31Let's do the more actual Halloweeny stuff.
- 48:33Yeah.
- 48:34Yeah.
- 48:35I feel like it always makes us feel better.
- 48:37Yeah.
- 48:38Yeah.
- 48:39It's a good way to end it.
- 48:40Tarot?
- 48:41Tarot?
- 48:42Okay.
- 48:43Okay.
- 48:46We have a beautiful set up today by Caitlyn.
- 48:51By Caitlyn, for Caitlyn.
- 48:54On Caitlyn?
- 48:56Oh, I should mark.
- 49:00We have an orb visitor today.
- 49:04We have the light shining just right on the camera that we have a little green orb back
- 49:08there.
- 49:09Oh.
- 49:10We have beautiful incense today.
- 49:14We do.
- 49:15What flavor did we choose for today?
- 49:18This one's sales.
- 49:22Positive facts.
- 49:23Oh, that's a great thing to burn.
- 49:26Yeah.
- 49:27Especially right now.
- 49:28Yeah.
- 49:29I felt like that seemed right.
- 49:33Okay.
- 49:34What remind me her name, I forget.
- 49:37Arpana.
- 49:38I was like, I know, I know it.
- 49:39It's just not coming to me in this moment.
- 49:43Arpana thinking about her possibly innocent man's Emanual.
- 49:52Mm hmm.
- 49:55I only knew that because like that's an easier name to remember.
- 49:59So, well, it was very fresh because that's the part of the case that we were talking
- 50:04about at length.
- 50:06Okay.
- 50:07I just love the name, Arpana too.
- 50:09It's so pretty.
- 50:11It is pretty.
- 50:12I'm just going to keep saying it so that I remember it for always.
- 50:16That's pretty good.
- 50:20We have a nice apple and rosemary garnish that you did not just see fall apart.
- 50:26No.
- 50:27No.
- 50:28We are drinking a combination of the cranberry cheers, truly.
- 50:36And vanna that, yeah, she's doing excellent work over there.
- 50:41It's a spiced apple wine, which is brew.
- 50:45So, it's a drink up, which is on the top, drink up, which is, I should have worn that shirt
- 50:50again.
- 50:51You should have.
- 50:52Yeah.
- 50:53Your matches.
- 50:54Yeah.
- 50:55Well, and it's in the shot from me and Chris in the kitchen.
- 51:01Well, I have, I have a purpose for that photo.
- 51:04Oh, yeah.
- 51:05That was pretty funny.
- 51:07Yeah.
- 51:08Also, speaking of Ouija, I learned something I didn't really know before.
- 51:14Tail me.
- 51:15So, apparently, a Ouija board that's just a decoration and not meant for portal spirit
- 51:23communication purposes won't accidentally communicate with the spirit for you.
- 51:27Well done.
- 51:28Good.
- 51:29Yeah.
- 51:30Which I kind of, I kind of suspected, but I don't know.
- 51:32People were worried about their decorations and I have a lot of Ouija decorations.
- 51:37This is literally the only thing that I own and I felt like, I thought about that today.
- 51:44That's the only thing she owns.
- 51:46Am I inviting, it's the only Ouija?
- 51:50Am I inviting something to come home with me by wearing this?
- 51:56No.
- 51:57Am I going out into the world?
- 51:58I felt like no.
- 51:59But if you're not intending to, then you're not.
- 52:03I never intend to.
- 52:05Let the record state clearly that I never intend to.
- 52:09Okay, so we got the star in reverse and it's a cute little ghosty pouring out some jugs.
- 52:18Jugs.
- 52:19We like them jugs around here.
- 52:22Okay.
- 52:23Are you ready for the this?
- 52:24Yes.
- 52:25Okay.
- 52:26The words for the star are happiness, hope, light at the end of the tunnel and good fortune.
- 52:36Okay.
- 52:37And so similar to the visual in our card imagery here, this lovely card often portrays a
- 52:45nude female figure in or beside a pool of water.
- 52:49She too is pouring from jugs.
- 52:52So very, very on point with a ghosty.
- 52:56In the writer wait Smith Deck, she pours the contents of one picture into a stream and
- 53:01the other onto the ground, showing the connection between the two feminine elements, water
- 53:07and earth.
- 53:09Stars shine in the background, sometimes in a circle or like, oh, or a halo-like formation
- 53:16around her.
- 53:18The naked woman represents truth and purity.
- 53:23Did you see how that word just like almost wouldn't come out of my mouth?
- 53:27Like you were burning from the inside.
- 53:29From the inside out.
- 53:30So pure.
- 53:31The jugs contain the waters of life.
- 53:34Okay.
- 53:35And that's all I'm going to read because I think on the description otherwise it differs
- 53:40with this one.
- 53:41So I'm going to, I'm going to continue one.
- 53:46There's an extra excerpt.
- 53:47Okay.
- 53:48I'm going to read that first.
- 53:49You always look at me with that eye.
- 53:52Like you know something I don't.
- 53:53I do.
- 53:54Hope.
- 53:57Which whispered from Pandora's Box only after all the other plagues and sorrows had escaped
- 54:03is the best and last of all things.
- 54:07I feel like that's very fitting for this.
- 54:10Wow.
- 54:11There was a lot of hurt on a lot of sides.
- 54:15Yeah.
- 54:16Okay.
- 54:17Listen to this.
- 54:18Reversed interpretation says trust life and its processes and yourself.
- 54:25The reversed star can mean you're following your path in a private way instead of shining
- 54:31your light into the outer world.
- 54:34The blessings you receive may be spiritual rather than material.
- 54:39Perhaps you feel devitalized, uninspired or low on self esteem at this time."
- 54:46Aww.
- 54:47"After you attune yourself to what your soul needs, you'll feel more energized and inharmony
- 54:54with who you truly are.
- 54:56In a reading about money, you may feel disappointed because a hoped for payment or payoff gets delayed.
- 55:03Even though you're trying hard, your efforts don't bear much fruit.
- 55:07The time may not be right yet.
- 55:10Don't give up."
- 55:11Do you know how long this...
- 55:14The lawsuit?
- 55:15Yes.
- 55:16Thank you.
- 55:17Yes.
- 55:18I don't...
- 55:20The details on the timeline of the lawsuit aren't in front of mine for me, so I'd have to check.
- 55:26I just hope that that doesn't take as long.
- 55:29You can imagine.
- 55:30Yeah, just, you know, a casual 20 years.
- 55:37If the reading is about your job, you may be hiding your light under a bushel.
- 55:42You don't realize your true abilities and thus aren't getting ahead as quickly as you could.
- 55:51The star reversed can also represent disillusionment, disenchantment, or lack of inspiration.
- 55:59Oh, okay.
- 56:00Yeah.
- 56:01Oh, boy.
- 56:02In a reading about love, this card can mean your expectations are unrealistic.
- 56:09Your searching for perfection, which can never be attained, or it can indicate you aren't
- 56:15seeing your partner or your relationship clearly.
- 56:18Hmm, like maybe you actually didn't have one with Arpana and that really pissed you off.
- 56:25Oh, I don't know.
- 56:27I don't like it either, but here we are.
- 56:30There's one more extra excerpts.
- 56:33Okay.
- 56:34I saved it for the aim.
- 56:37One is the faith that leads to achievement.
- 56:41Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
- 56:46Yeah.
- 56:48I don't have a lot of confidence, but I do have some hope.
- 56:52Some hope.
- 56:53Yeah.
- 56:54Yeah.
- 56:55We have to do otherwise.
- 56:56What the fuck is the point?
- 56:57What is there?
- 56:58Yeah.
- 56:59Wow.
- 57:00Well, I just, I was thinking heavy about Arpana, obviously, when I was shuffling and I
- 57:06just feel like she is just a star, you know?
- 57:10Cassie, did you notice on the altar, the incense burner I have is decorated in stars?
- 57:17Yeah.
- 57:18I put out these citrine stars.
- 57:22That's right.
- 57:23And I pointed out to you when we were at Curiosity's earlier, a really cool, kind of like
- 57:31a rot iron-looking star.
- 57:35There's been everywhere.
- 57:36Everywhere.
- 57:37That's really interesting.
- 57:39She was with us.
- 57:40Maybe she knew we were going to talk about her today.
- 57:42You want to hear something even wilder?
- 57:44Maybe.
- 57:46I watched the rest of practical magic last night.
- 57:50Chris had never seen it.
- 57:53And wait.
- 57:54What?
- 57:55I know.
- 57:56I know.
- 57:57We're not getting married unless you watch this.
- 57:58So good.
- 57:59Buckle up.
- 58:00Yeah.
- 58:01Yeah.
- 58:02I think if you didn't see it as a child, it probably doesn't hold the same charm.
- 58:08So, but he's a lovely man.
- 58:10So he watched it.
- 58:11Good play.
- 58:12Good play.
- 58:13Good play.
- 58:14Yeah.
- 58:15Buckle.
- 58:16Do you remember what she says when she does her spell as a little girl, all of the different
- 58:24requirements for the man that she would fall in love with?
- 58:28The star is his favorite shape.
- 58:30Uh-huh.
- 58:31And then we'll see what we can do.

- 1:00:10Yeah.
- 1:00:11You will totally understand.
- 1:00:13If you can't support us monetarily, no worries because the easiest ways to support are absolutely free.
- 1:00:20Tell everyone in anyone you come into contact with about us unless they're like a bad person.
- 1:00:25Yeah.
- 1:00:26Then maybe don't.
- 1:00:27We don't necessarily need listeners that badly, I guess.
- 1:00:31Because they probably wouldn't leave us a five star review like you would on any platform.
- 1:00:35Yeah.
- 1:00:36Yeah.
- 1:00:37I mean, that's really solid reasoning, I feel.

- 1:01:16Yeah.
- 1:01:17It's a good excuse to take a little vacation.
- 1:01:19Yeah.
- 1:01:20We're just touring around the world, you know?
- 1:01:22Yeah.
- 1:01:23As opposed to what is typically a very dark and dreary staycation.
- 1:01:28Yeah.
- 1:01:29Follow us on all of the socials if you don't want to miss out on photos of our tarot cards, the beautiful altar setups and a lot of backstage shenanigans.

- 1:01:58Halloween.
- 1:01:59That will still see you next Tuesday.
- 1:02:01We're not going to change into different people, especially mermaids because I don't like the water that much.
- 1:02:07I love the water.
- 1:02:08Oh, you can become a mermaid.
- 1:02:10Okay.
- 1:02:11Yeah.
- 1:02:12You can.
- 1:02:13Well, I especially won't be because I'm a dead mermaid and I don't want to be that for sure.
- 1:02:17Yeah.
- 1:02:18In keeping with our distinct and very oftentimes differing personalities, she's a dead mermaid.
- 1:02:26And I'm like, yay, pretty mermaid.
- 1:02:29It's going to be such a funny picture we're about to take.
- 1:02:32I have some mermaid purse.
- 1:02:34Okay, mom.
- 1:02:35I'm not out.
- 1:02:36Bye.
- 1:02:37Bye.
- 1:02:38Happy Halloween.
- 1:02:39Happy Halloween.
- 1:02:40Me, me.
- 1:02:41[Music]
