Episode 25: Was Pravin Varughese Murdered?

  Pravin Varughese was in his sophomore year at Southern Illinois University and enrolled in the criminal justice program. Pravin planned a typical night on the town on the evening of February 12th, 2014; however, the popular college student mysteriously disappeared around midnight. Less than a week later, his remains were found in the woods; the original autopsy ruled no foul play; however, the family points to evidence that says otherwise. It is known that Pravin got a ride from a stranger that evening, and this stranger was the last person to see him alive. The stranger admits the two got into a fight but insists he played no part in Pravin's death. Over four years following Pravin's death, a conviction is made, and a perpetrator is named, however briefly. Unfortunately, a judge soon threw out the ruling due to confusing terminology used with the jury, and the case is waiting to be re-tried.
