This week we peel back the layers of a truly haunting case, a crime that pushes us to confront potentially terrifying realities and uncomfortable truths. The chilling details of the attack; from the victim's brutal head trauma and shattered teeth, to a violation that's beyond unsettling. We scrutinize the potential suspects in Arpana's murder: The men who sadly discovered her brutalized and lifeless body. The suspicious activities of those present on that fateful night and the evidence left at the crime scene all come under our microscope. We question the direction of the initial investigation and why certain individuals were targeted while others remained seemingly unacknowledged in many public records. We attempt to unravel the complexities of both the alleged crimes and the trials of Emanuel Fair, a series of situations that seemingly spiral, always to the same ending, landing him behind bars.

The potential missteps by detectives and prosecutors that led to a shocking lawsuit against the county and city of Redmond amongst others, shed light on the disturbing power dynamics and racism shadowing our justice system, ultimately, some might argue short changing more than one person of color as a victim of circumstance. As we draw to a close, we reflect on Emanuel Fair's life post-release, the formidable challenges he's battled, and the profound implications of a guilty verdict predicated on minute evidence, as well as his final thoughts regarding justice in a case that remains unsolved. Every man deserves a fair trial and Arpana Jinaga deserves justice, her family, answers. More than one thing can be true and yet somehow all these later we find ourselves with neither.

This week we shared Ghost Wax, a Far and Tall Tales production. Death does not silence a victim's story and the grave is no place for the guilty to hide.

100:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,760How a case is approached from minute one matters.200:00:09,760 --> 00:00:16,120Because one misstep can leave so much room for speculation, for doubt, and ultimately,300:00:16,120 --> 00:00:22,960a completely solvable case may end up in a stack of unsolved cold cases or become400:00:22,960 --> 00:00:38,720a conspiracy theory where no one can agree on a firm accounting of many of the facts.500:00:38,720 --> 00:00:39,720Hi Cassie.600:00:39,720 --> 00:00:40,720Hi Caitlyn.700:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,520Hi creepy people.800:00:42,520 -->

00:00:58,120about true crime, paranormal, and all things creepy in the Pacific Northwest.1200:00:58,120 --> 00:01:05,000We also do a tarot reading at the end of every episode for deeper insight into our topic.1300:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,120So make sure you stick around if you're into that witchy goodness.1400:01:09,120 --> 00:01:15,160All right, so today while you're listening to this more than likely, it's Halloween,1500:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,480that's the day we're releasing this episode.1600:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,680So I am so excited.1700:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,680I love Halloween.1800:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,680I love Halloween.1900:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,680Halloweeny.2000:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,680I like weenies too.2100:01:26,680 --> 00:01:27,680Oh boy.2200:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,680Well, get a good chuckle in now.2300:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,680Cause I'm going to I'm going to quash that laughter.2400:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,680Yeah, I know.2500:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,560Yeah, it's kind of my thing.2600:01:38,560 --> 00:01:44,800You guys, I just have to start this episode by saying that real life and particularly true2700:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,480crime, well, they're both pretty messy.2800:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,080Kind of like when I was trying to put those little drinks skewers on with our fancy rosemary2900:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,880and apple.3000:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,720It's a pretty looking cocktail though.3100:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,440Yeah, you'd never know that there was a mess involved.3200:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,840Yeah, but there was.3300:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,160This wasn't exactly what I thought I was getting into when I started researching the case.3400:02:09,160 --> 00:02:15,480And I might have considered going with a different case for Halloween under different circumstances.3500:02:15,480 --> 00:02:22,320Maybe something from a bygone era that allowed us all to get a little bit of distance.3600:02:22,320 --> 00:02:28,040Celebrate in a more lighthearted way and maybe you'll wish that I did.3700:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,480I hope not.3800:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,560We can all be fun in games all the time.3900:02:32,560 --> 00:02:33,560This is true.4000:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,560This is true.4100:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,040That's not life, baby.4200:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,560But this case has almost ripped me in half.4300:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,360I swear.4400:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,040It's more times than I can count.4500:02:46,040 --> 00:02:51,520It made me angry and I hope there's a lot about this story that makes you angry but also4600:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,120makes you think.4700:02:53,120 --> 00:02:59,360I know that we can't all be out changing the very fabric of society each and every day4800:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,080as individuals.4900:03:01,080 --> 00:03:08,040But we can refuse to look away and we can sit in uncomfortable spaces in the hopes of5000:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,080growing.5100:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,920Please come with us.5200:03:11,920 --> 00:03:17,120I mean, uncomfortable is nice sometimes, right?5300:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,000It makes you enjoy the comfortable.5400:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,400I'm hoping that's what everybody is going to say.5500:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,240Well, I said it for them.5600:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,680Perfect.5700:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,720Now you'll recall we were discussing Emanual Fair's trial.5800:03:33,720 --> 00:03:40,200That's the short little mini sneak peak clip, if you will, that was part of our Halloween5900:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,200collaboration.6000:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,000That's the case we're talking about today.6100:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000Spoilers.6200:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,000Not really spoilers.6300:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,520No, not at all.6400:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,200Unless you haven't listened to it, go back, maybe.6500:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,960Yeah, I would say.6600:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,520And there's two parts to the collaboration.6700:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,120If somehow you missed part two, drop in, go back and listen to that.6800:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,960I'm sure there's some fun creepy stuff in there too.6900:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,920We're actually in part two.7000:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,040This case truly spans decades already.7100:04:12,040 --> 00:04:17,280Investigators could not establish an exact time of death, instead speculating that our7200:04:17,280 --> 00:04:24,040panna had died at some point early in the morning hours following the Halloween party.7300:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,760Sometime between 3 and 8 a.m.7400:04:27,760 --> 00:04:28,760The witching hour.7500:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,760Yeah.7600:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,960If you're following up listening to the first segment of this story from the Halloween7700:04:34,960 --> 00:04:41,080collaboration, you might also recall that they found Arpana at the foot of her bed.7800:04:41,080 --> 00:04:48,840Her autopsy would later show that she died of esphyxia by ligature strangulation.7900:04:48,840 --> 00:04:54,280Her manner of death was obviously brutal, but within the report it was also noted that8000:04:54,280 --> 00:04:58,720she had sustained multiple blunt force injuries.8100:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,920However, there are a number of details that we omitted from that short excerpt of the8200:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,740story for, obviously for brevity.8300:05:08,740 --> 00:05:17,340The attack that she had endured and specifically the head trauma resulted in several broken teeth,8400:05:17,340 --> 00:05:19,920which is a particular no no for my brain.8500:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,240Yeah, as soon as you said teeth, I was like, "Uh oh, she hates it."8600:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,480I hate it.8700:05:25,480 --> 00:05:31,440But it's these next couple of details that are upsetting, I think, for all of the brains,8800:05:31,440 --> 00:05:36,800but I do think that they're important to share so that you understand the depth of depravity8900:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,160when it comes to her killer.9000:05:40,160 --> 00:05:48,000Arpana was also gagged using her own underwear, and duct tape was applied as well to keep that9100:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,000in place.9200:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,680Oh God, using someone's own underwear is just like so.9300:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,720What is that word demoralizing?9400:05:54,720 --> 00:05:55,720It is.9500:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,720Demeaning all of that.9600:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,200Yeah, it's really.9700:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,200Yeah.9800:06:00,200 --> 00:06:06,280Presumably prior to her assault, though the final detail related to her assault isn't9900:06:06,280 --> 00:06:11,440completely clear in regards to the timeline.10000:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,960And I'm going to tell you that final detail now.10100:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,440Okay.10200:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,440Prior to the sexual assault, her tampon was removed.10300:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,840Oh, okay.10400:06:22,840 --> 00:06:32,360Which is just, to me, a level of horror that I feel like it's probably wrapped up in a lot10500:06:32,360 --> 00:06:41,240of shame more than anything about female bodily functions, but it really got me in a place10600:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,080that I didn't know I had feels.10700:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,080And I hate it.10800:06:45,080 --> 00:06:51,280Well, even if you don't have shame, which nobody should, about their womanly bleed, it's10900:06:51,280 --> 00:06:52,280fine.11000:06:52,280 --> 00:06:57,080I'm not sure if it's clear, but like it's just so intimate, I feel like it is.11100:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,080Yeah.11200:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,080It is really intimate.11300:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,080Yeah.11400:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,760I mean, so is sex, obviously, but there's just, yeah, there's something about that, you're right.11500:07:03,760 --> 00:07:09,720But to do that, which is this, you know, my God, a very like you say, intimate and not in11600:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,520a good way, yeah, there's no positive connotation there.11700:07:14,520 --> 00:07:21,560And then to do something this brutal to her, I just, I can't fathom it.11800:07:21,560 --> 00:07:29,800You'll also recall the laundry list of odd household items that were used pretty bizarrely11900:07:29,800 --> 00:07:37,080seemingly to eradicate evidence bleach, blue toilet bowl cleaner, a common household type12000:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,400of soap and motor oil.12100:07:40,400 --> 00:07:46,040Ugh, the motor oil thing is just really freaks me out.12200:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,840Expanding on that, apparently the killer scrubbed her body with bleach.12300:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,800Oh, scrubbed it?12400:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,200That's how I've heard it described.12500:07:59,200 --> 00:08:05,640Investigators even noting that her hands were stained blue from some type of highly acidic12600:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,360cleaning agent.12700:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,920So I think that's where the toilet bowl cleaner comes in.12800:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,720What the fuck?12900:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,920It's very strange.13000:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,760So let's talk about potential perpetrators.13100:08:19,760 --> 00:08:27,600Now before a manual was charged, police had another person of interest, several, in fact,13200:08:27,600 --> 00:08:33,600one of whom was a neighbor of Arpana's, a white man in his twenties, the same neighbor13300:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,240who'd entered the apartment with Arpana's family friend.13400:08:38,240 --> 00:08:44,960Also notably someone who is also reportedly considered a suspect in the early days of the13500:08:44,960 --> 00:08:45,960case.13600:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,560So these are the two people that discovered her body.13700:08:49,560 --> 00:08:53,640One is a neighbor, one is a family friend.13800:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,160That sucks to find that and then be also accused.13900:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,560I could not agree more.14000:08:59,560 --> 00:09:01,880I suspected, not accused, but suspected.14100:09:01,880 --> 00:09:09,480Yeah, I mean, the fact that they suspect you sort of implies an accusation in a way.14200:09:09,480 --> 00:09:19,040The initial investigation focused on this individual and that is the neighbor who is unlikely14300:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,840to be named in most source material that you would come across in this case.14400:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,200Unlike Emanual, of course.14500:09:27,200 --> 00:09:35,800So a lot of source material protects a number of these potential suspects or persons of14600:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,120interest, their names.14700:09:39,120 --> 00:09:47,960And unfortunately, obviously that same level of courtesy or privacy that they're afforded14800:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,760is not something that you'll see for Emanual.14900:09:52,760 --> 00:09:58,520I was going to say that's understandable that they wouldn't want to release their names.15000:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,240Yeah, I feel like it is somewhat unusual.15100:10:03,240 --> 00:10:08,560I think more often than not, we see the names of potential perpetrators being shared.15200:10:08,560 --> 00:10:14,080So that kind of, in my mind, that sort of threw up a flag that there's so many of them15300:10:14,080 --> 00:10:19,400that have by and large remained unnamed.15400:10:19,400 --> 00:10:24,600At the time, investigators found the neighbor's activities on the night in question a little15500:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,240bit suspicious.15600:10:27,240 --> 00:10:32,440His phone records revealed that he called Arpana at around 3 a.m.15700:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,760on the earliest end of time window of her death.15800:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,280So, okay.15900:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,120Why?16000:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,240I just have to say, why?16100:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,440He said he did not remember making the call.16200:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,000Okay, well, come on.16300:10:50,000 --> 00:10:57,960Yeah, I don't love that, but this individual's DNA was also the primary profile found on key16400:10:57,960 --> 00:11:04,320pieces of evidence such as the bottle of motor oil that was discovered in a bag, along16500:11:04,320 --> 00:11:13,040with what authorities presumed was the red robe that Arpana wore on the dates in question,16600:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,920as well as inside the window of her apartment.16700:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,360So, oh, we've got his DNA in one form or fashion.16800:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,640In the motor oil?16900:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,640Uh-huh.17000:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,240And he wasn't charged?17100:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,240Nope.17200:11:29,240 --> 00:11:36,760Other than fair and the neighbor, no other DNA profiles from party goers present that night17300:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,040were found on evidence at the crime scene.17400:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,480According to court records, there's still more.17500:11:44,480 --> 00:11:50,240Like the lighter that was found in his apartment with a sticky substance on it that could have17600:11:50,240 --> 00:11:55,000been motor oil, but investigators never collected it.17700:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,000What?17800:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,000Okay.17900:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,120I see that there's some shenanigans going on here.18000:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,440Well, that's one way to put it.18100:12:03,440 --> 00:12:09,200Also located in the search was a list of pawn shops that was printed the day that Arpana18200:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,960was killed.18300:12:10,960 --> 00:12:16,640Both her phone and digital camera were never recovered that I could determine.18400:12:16,640 --> 00:12:17,640Okay.18500:12:17,640 --> 00:12:25,640I think the thought process there being that maybe this person stole those items and went18600:12:25,640 --> 00:12:31,200to pawn them, but they never found them at pawn shops or anything or did they even look?18700:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,200I, it's unclear.18800:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,200Yep.18900:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,560Caitlyn, you're supposed to know everything.19000:12:36,560 --> 00:12:38,760I, I wish.19100:12:38,760 --> 00:12:45,360Several people present the night of the party stated that they saw him quote, exhibit jealous19200:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,920behavior when she talked to other men at the party.19300:12:49,920 --> 00:12:50,920Ugh.19400:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,560So, also that.19500:12:52,560 --> 00:12:57,680A review of the transcript of his interview with police reveals that he reported hearing19600:12:57,680 --> 00:13:02,600sounds coming from her apartment around 3 a.m.19700:13:02,600 --> 00:13:09,760But he didn't make much of it and waited until roughly 10 a.m. to call her the next morning.19800:13:09,760 --> 00:13:17,440When police looked at his phone, they noted that he had also called her at 2:56 a.m.19900:13:17,440 --> 00:13:18,440and 3:02 a.m.20000:13:18,440 --> 00:13:19,440Okay.20100:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,520That sounds like someone who is jealous.20200:13:23,520 --> 00:13:24,520Yeah.20300:13:24,520 --> 00:13:29,520I mean, that's definitely right before the window of time where she died as well.20400:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,880And if he's hearing stuff from her room and then was like, oh, I didn't think anything about20500:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,520it, but earlier was exhibiting jealous behavior.20600:13:37,520 --> 00:13:38,520Okay.20700:13:38,520 --> 00:13:39,520Okay.20800:13:39,520 --> 00:13:45,640So, here's probably the best part about this, which it doesn't mean anything to be clear.20900:13:45,640 --> 00:13:53,920I'm not saying that anyone in this case is guilty when confronted with the evidence that21000:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,840they found in his call log.21100:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,280My notes say to which he said, oh, crap.21200:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,640Before insisting that he didn't remember why he called her.21300:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,200Oh, crap.21400:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,200Huh?21500:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,200Yeah.21600:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,200Yeah, guy.21700:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,200Yeah.21800:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,280Yeah, which could be a thousand percent accurate.21900:14:17,280 --> 00:14:25,160It could be a simple misremembering of the facts after the fact when alcohol was likely22000:14:25,160 --> 00:14:31,360heavily involved for many of these people, or it could have been a butt dial for that22100:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,360matter.22200:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,800I mean, drunk dialing is a thing, butt dialing is a thing, especially at that point.22300:14:37,800 --> 00:14:38,800Yeah.22400:14:38,800 --> 00:14:39,800Yeah.22500:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,360At a point in time where you very literally could butt dial.22600:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,760You can't really do that now.22700:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,040Everyone's got their phone, you know, with a passcode or something.22800:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,040Yeah.22900:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,040Yeah.23000:14:51,040 --> 00:14:58,000But of course, I saved the most bizarre detail for last that viewed in a certain light is23100:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,760perhaps the most damning.23200:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,120According to interviews by the police, it was at roughly 10 a.m. on the morning that Arpana23300:15:06,120 --> 00:15:14,040was killed that this man's decided to drive two hours up to Canada.23400:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,200Oh, okay.23500:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,880Where he wait for it.23600:15:19,880 --> 00:15:25,760Try to blow through the gates without a passport.23700:15:25,760 --> 00:15:32,280He told detectives he wanted to quote, explore honey.23800:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,280Go south.23900:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,280Yeah.24000:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,280Yeah.24100:15:35,280 --> 00:15:36,280That is a little bit.24200:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,160But seriously, like if you're going to try to blow through a border, I wouldn't have tried24300:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,160Canada.24400:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,160Yeah.24500:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,960I mean, I understand that it was closer.24600:15:43,960 --> 00:15:44,960Yeah.24700:15:44,960 --> 00:15:45,960I.24800:15:45,960 --> 00:15:46,960That is super.24900:15:46,960 --> 00:15:47,960That is like not okay.25000:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,160It's it's very erratic.25100:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,080It's very strange.25200:15:53,080 --> 00:15:59,240This next paragraph, I'm just taking directly from a Rolling Stones article that primarily25300:15:59,240 --> 00:16:07,000focused on Emanual's life and the impact of the case.25400:16:07,000 --> 00:16:12,120At the end of the interview when investigators had started putting pressure on him, he asked25500:16:12,120 --> 00:16:18,280investigators to turn off the recording and he discussed something that can't be found25600:16:18,280 --> 00:16:19,600in the police record.25700:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,280What?25800:16:22,280 --> 00:16:27,680When asked what the neighbor said in a pretrial interview obtained by the suspect25900:16:27,680 --> 00:16:36,680podcast, detective codes simply said, I don't recall, despite the apparent evidence against26000:16:36,680 --> 00:16:44,040him, investigators let him leave the police station with his blackberry according to police26100:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,640records, which he subsequently scrubbed.26200:16:48,640 --> 00:16:54,680So when you're asked, what what did the neighbor who tried to literally flee the country26300:16:54,680 --> 00:17:00,440say in his pretrial interview, I don't recall.26400:17:00,440 --> 00:17:05,680Also we let him leave the station with his blackberry and it has subsequently been wiped26500:17:05,680 --> 00:17:15,160just to tidy up that little summary for you in case your brain actually exploded hearing26600:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,960that the first time.26700:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,960I don't recall where my brain went.26800:17:18,960 --> 00:17:19,960Yeah.26900:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,480Through the ceiling actually.27000:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,480Wow.27100:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,480Obviously, you know.27200:17:23,480 --> 00:17:32,080We went up to the roof and she took her brain out and she said, a throat on the ground.27300:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,840I was going to say there's a Caitlyn and Cassie brain shaped hole in the ceiling.27400:17:36,840 --> 00:17:37,840Yeah.27500:17:37,840 --> 00:17:38,840Absolutely.27600:17:38,840 --> 00:17:39,840Did that make sense?27700:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,360Yeah, I did.27800:17:42,360 --> 00:17:47,040Here's the kind of crazy thing to me.27900:17:47,040 --> 00:17:53,440Even if based on some of the DNA and other forensic evidence, the idea might have seemed28000:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,440plausible.28100:17:55,440 --> 00:18:03,600Ostensibly, the prosecution wanted to charge Emmanuel, an only Emanuel, which they did, but28200:18:03,600 --> 00:18:10,920they wanted to argue that maybe the neighbor had something to do with it.28300:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,080This next part is about how that shook out.28400:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,600I just can't believe this.28500:18:16,600 --> 00:18:23,400Like, yeah, I would say that the neighbor looks a little, maybe not hands perfectly clean.28600:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,640On this, but what do I know?28700:18:26,640 --> 00:18:35,000I mean, if his DNA was found on the motor oil, that was a part of the crime scene evidence28800:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,040taken, I just feel like that's.28900:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,440It doesn't look great.29000:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,440Yeah.29100:18:40,440 --> 00:18:46,920But it's like they can't make up a clear series of events.29200:18:46,920 --> 00:18:51,120They can't figure out who has the motive or.29300:18:51,120 --> 00:18:57,960So when you bring a case to court, ideally, you want to really know exactly what happened.29400:18:57,960 --> 00:18:58,960Yeah.29500:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,200That's how you get a conviction.29600:19:01,200 --> 00:19:06,480Before the trial, it was decided that the evidence linking the neighbor to possible involvement29700:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,320in the crime was admissible.29800:19:09,320 --> 00:19:15,280But the prosecution would of course argue that incriminating evidence against the neighbor29900:19:15,280 --> 00:19:22,120did not inherently mean that Emanual was innocent, which is true.30000:19:22,120 --> 00:19:26,200But for Christ's sake, guys, can you just present a clear case?30100:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,440Anyways, I digress.30200:19:28,440 --> 00:19:35,360It seemed far more reasonable that two people who would only just barely met might have teamed30300:19:35,360 --> 00:19:39,120up on this horrific crime out of the blue.30400:19:39,120 --> 00:19:41,840Because why not, right?30500:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,640I know I like to.30600:19:43,640 --> 00:19:44,760I don't like to.30700:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,760But I do do this.30800:19:46,760 --> 00:19:53,040I know that I often assume the worst about men, but this seems a bit of a stretch.30900:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,840Yeah, I agree.31000:19:54,840 --> 00:20:00,200According to the state's case, the neighbor was classified more accurately as an uncharged31100:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,960accomplice rather than the other suspect.31200:20:04,960 --> 00:20:10,480Though to be fair, prosecutors were barred from using the argument that the neighbor and31300:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,560Emanual had acted as accomplices.31400:20:14,560 --> 00:20:19,640It's a reason that there wasn't sufficient evidence to support theory, which no shit31500:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,640sure lock.31600:20:21,640 --> 00:20:28,440The state court of appeals upheld the court's decision and the state's Supreme Court ultimately31700:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,240declined to review it.31800:20:30,240 --> 00:20:31,760This is just so ridiculous.31900:20:31,760 --> 00:20:38,080Like if you can't figure out who you think did it and whether or not it was more than32000:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,760one perpetrator, maybe that's not a case we take to court.32100:20:41,760 --> 00:20:46,000I was gonna say maybe you're not ready yet, maybe sit on that egg a little while and let32200:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,000it hatch.32300:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,160You let you put that one back in the oven.32400:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,960She needs to keep cooking.32500:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,880We were restricted in what we could say in that they may have acted together, said Brian32600:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,200McDonald, one of two lead prosecutors on the case.32700:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,880You'll know I did include his name.32800:21:04,880 --> 00:21:10,520This restriction allowed the defense to argue that any evidence involving the neighbor32900:21:10,520 --> 00:21:16,800should be reasonable doubt as to whether Emanuel committed the crime.33000:21:16,800 --> 00:21:23,360Emanuel contends in a lawsuit that authorities, quote, ignored and failed to gather evidence33100:21:23,360 --> 00:21:27,160that did not align with their theory of the case.33200:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,440Because yeah, in case it wasn't already clear, there's a lawsuit.33300:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,440That's good.33400:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,600Yeah, I tend to think so.33500:21:36,600 --> 00:21:42,520Now there are additional persons of interest that you'd hear more about in more in-depth33600:21:42,520 --> 00:21:47,920coverage in a multi-part case series.33700:21:47,920 --> 00:21:48,920I did not do that.33800:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,080It's only Halloween for one day.33900:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,040Yeah, this was already a lot.34000:21:54,040 --> 00:21:59,240Some of them were part of a local motorcycle group that Arpana had joined.34100:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,760Oh, Arpana!34200:22:00,760 --> 00:22:01,760I know.34300:22:01,760 --> 00:22:02,760I love that.34400:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,320Don't love that they're suspected.34500:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,320Yeah.34600:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,080I like this next party, the less.34700:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,080Okay.34800:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,080Two of the members of the group had a history of sexual crimes.34900:22:12,080 --> 00:22:18,400But one in particular had been actively sexually harassing her reportedly.35000:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,880Oh, so that's damn.35100:22:22,880 --> 00:22:28,640Depending on how shaded you are, this next part may or may not surprise you at this point.35200:22:28,640 --> 00:22:35,240Police also found DNA from a third biker who she had been sleeping with on her costume.35300:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,640That's where they found the DNA.35400:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,000And on the sheet that was draped over her body.35500:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,000Okay.35600:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,560I mean, if she was already doing it with them, I could see how...35700:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,040Maybe that was already there.35800:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,040Yeah.35900:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,040It's hard to say.36000:22:49,040 --> 00:22:54,600Additionally, there was another resident at the apartment complex that unfortunately died36100:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,920by suicide just days after her death.36200:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,000Oh, no.36300:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,480This individual's DNA was never compared to the crime scene according to the most recent36400:23:06,480 --> 00:23:12,320reporting on the case based primarily on Emanuel's lawsuit.36500:23:12,320 --> 00:23:18,120So I have every reason to think that I'm not mistaken here.36600:23:18,120 --> 00:23:23,400Unfortunately, they did not test that person's DNA against the evidence.36700:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,720Oh, so that's us.36800:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,720That's unfortunate.36900:23:27,720 --> 00:23:36,040Now here's where we turn a corner because this case certainly at least feels more complicated37000:23:36,040 --> 00:23:42,400than I understood it to be at the outset because there are certainly factors related to37100:23:42,400 --> 00:23:50,040the individuals involved in this case that are at least cause for concern or consideration,37200:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,760maybe pause.37300:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,920And that of course includes Emanuel.37400:23:55,920 --> 00:24:03,600I say this with trepidation because I can't tell you that I've landed on my own personal,37500:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,440solid theory in this case.37600:24:06,440 --> 00:24:13,080But I want to represent as much information about every aspect of the case as I can so37700:24:13,080 --> 00:24:20,000that you walk away feeling like maybe you can decide for yourself.37800:24:20,000 --> 00:24:27,160If it were more clear, you know, I take no issue with roasting the guilty party.37900:24:27,160 --> 00:24:33,740The problem is that in a case like this, it just might be too ambiguous to do so with38000:24:33,740 --> 00:24:34,760any confidence.38100:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,040Oh, and yeah, we don't want to be sued.38200:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,040Yeah, no.38300:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,040So there's that.38400:24:41,040 --> 00:24:48,440A handful of years before our Arpana's horrific murder, Emanuel Fair had been arrested and38500:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,320charged with raping a minor.38600:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,760Ew.38700:24:54,760 --> 00:25:01,880According to the 15 year old victim, he had raped her numerous times, which is unimaginably38800:25:01,880 --> 00:25:02,880awful.38900:25:02,880 --> 00:25:11,200However, there was an additional altercation that took place in Burian where Emanuel reportedly39000:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,960choked the girl at gunpoint.39100:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,080Oh, the choking.39200:25:17,080 --> 00:25:24,280He was arrested for this crime and ended up pleading guilty to avoid a decade plus prison39300:25:24,280 --> 00:25:31,800sentence, pleading down from second degree to third degree rape.39400:25:31,800 --> 00:25:38,560Though Emanuel began serving out his four year sentence in 2004, he would ultimately be39500:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,640released in less than three years.39600:25:42,640 --> 00:25:49,280At the time of his release, he was labeled a level one offender, meaning he was amongst39700:25:49,280 --> 00:25:53,600those considered the least likely to reoffend.39800:25:53,600 --> 00:26:00,720If you want to hear another infuriating case about someone labeled a level one sex offender,39900:26:00,720 --> 00:26:07,240go back and listen to the Richard Gilmore aka the jogger rapist case.40000:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,920I remember that.40100:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,680That's the first thing that popped in my head when he said that.40200:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,480At gunpoint.40300:26:16,480 --> 00:26:17,480Reportedly.40400:26:17,480 --> 00:26:18,480Yeah.40500:26:18,480 --> 00:26:19,480Okay.40600:26:19,480 --> 00:26:20,480Yeah.40700:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,480Report allegedly.40800:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,480I get it.40900:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,480Yeah.41000:26:23,480 --> 00:26:24,480I mean, he was convicted.41100:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,880So I feel like I'm honestly probably being a bit generous.41200:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,400But we're trying to parse out some nuance here.41300:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,400Yeah.41400:26:31,400 --> 00:26:38,720However, as is often the case, Immanuel failed to abide by the terms of his release and ultimately41500:26:38,720 --> 00:26:44,440his probation violations landed him in custody of the state again.41600:26:44,440 --> 00:26:51,640Once released in the fall of 2006, Emanuel would commence a roughly three year long period41700:26:51,640 --> 00:26:56,440of cycling between either homelessness or prison incarceration.41800:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,440Damn.41900:26:57,440 --> 00:27:02,960This included the period in which Arpana was murdered.42000:27:02,960 --> 00:27:08,080He was couch surfing with a friend that lived in the complex on that fateful night.42100:27:08,080 --> 00:27:15,040Initially the friend he had been staying with lied about the fact when questioned by police.42200:27:15,040 --> 00:27:20,320But they were later able to determine he had been present by coming through the various42300:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,280photos that partygoers had taken.42400:27:24,280 --> 00:27:29,320Many posted to Facebook as was the norm for many 20-somethings at that time.42500:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,320Yeah.42600:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,400Social media will get your ass.42700:27:34,400 --> 00:27:43,880Once jailed he would remain there for eight years, seven months and 14 days.42800:27:43,880 --> 00:27:51,320Let's recall that this is all without ever being convicted of a crime.42900:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,320Jesus.43000:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,440At least not this crime.43100:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,080That's a long time though.43200:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,080Yes.43300:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,320I probably said that last time, but oh my god.43400:28:02,320 --> 00:28:09,160During this period he was primarily isolated due in large part to the fact that the facility43500:28:09,160 --> 00:28:15,480was not designed for long term imprisonment.43600:28:15,480 --> 00:28:20,200Throughout the duration he maintained his innocence.43700:28:20,200 --> 00:28:27,480So what does it tell you when someone has basically overstayed their welcome in a facility43800:28:27,480 --> 00:28:33,000that's not meant for someone to be held long term?43900:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,520There's so many things wrong with that.44000:28:35,520 --> 00:28:40,720And if you held for eight years when you're saying you're innocent, if you're really innocent44100:28:40,720 --> 00:28:48,400and then you're being kept in solitary, oh my god, that just fucks with you.44200:28:48,400 --> 00:28:55,600So I would implore you to listen to this next section with an open mind.44300:28:55,600 --> 00:29:02,080Not because I necessarily feel confident that Emanual is completely innocent, but because44400:29:02,080 --> 00:29:07,280we're all supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.44500:29:07,280 --> 00:29:12,040And because at this stage, whether what's been shared with you up to this point has you44600:29:12,040 --> 00:29:19,400convinced one way or another regarding Emanual's guilt or innocence or another suspects44700:29:19,400 --> 00:29:25,560for that matter, it's important to note that there's no official resolution.44800:29:25,560 --> 00:29:36,440How a case is approached from minute one matters because one misstep can leave so much room44900:29:36,440 --> 00:29:43,120for speculation, for doubt, and ultimately a completely solvable case may end up in a45000:29:43,120 --> 00:29:50,720stack of unsolved cold cases or become a conspiracy theory where no one can agree on a firm45100:29:50,720 --> 00:29:56,400accounting of many of the facts.45200:29:56,400 --> 00:30:01,440As indie podcasters, we love to show our support of other awesome shows.45300:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,280So stay tuned for the promo we've got to share with you this week.45400:30:05,280 --> 00:30:13,000Let's show them some love you can find their info

recording for investigative notes.45800:30:20,960 --> 00:30:26,160It's a wax cylinder, the only thing we've found that can pick up the voices of people in45900:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,840your condition.46000:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,120My name is Owen von Sid, I am a reclamer.46100:30:31,120 --> 00:30:32,800Do you know what that means?46200:30:32,800 --> 00:30:33,800No?46300:30:33,800 --> 00:30:38,600Well, I am sorry to inform you that you didn't make it.46400:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,720Please try to remain calm.46500:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,920The worst is over.46600:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,760Nothing can hurt you, not ever again.46700:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,920But the thing that did this to you is still out there.46800:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,120That is what we do.46900:30:51,120 --> 00:30:57,080I wake unfortunate souls such as yourself, hear their stories, then my associates and I47000:30:57,080 --> 00:31:03,720see to it that whoever or whatever did this to you is dealt with.47100:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,800Now let's begin.47200:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,600When you are ready.47300:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,120Tell me.47400:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,840How did you die?47500:31:11,840 --> 00:31:17,160Ghost Wax is an anthology horror podcast from far-intel tales productions.47600:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,520New episodes releasing weekly.47700:31:19,520 --> 00:31:25,800Look for us wherever you get your podcasts.47800:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,200You guys were back.47900:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,800And don't worry, we did get more wine.48000:31:30,800 --> 00:31:35,240Well, of course.48100:31:35,240 --> 00:31:39,080Emanuel would ultimately face two trials.48200:31:39,080 --> 00:31:46,200In our previous discussion of the case, we left off at the first in 2017.48300:31:46,200 --> 00:31:56,600The trial ended in a hung jury because of one juror who said, "And yes, this is a quote."48400:31:56,600 --> 00:32:07,040After the trial that when he looked at Emanuel, he saw a "thug" with tattoos on his hands.48500:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,960Okay.48600:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,920The second trial ended in June of 2019.48700:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,920Jesus.48800:32:15,920 --> 00:32:22,200The jury determined that the detectives and prosecutors had never had a strong enough case48900:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,240against him.49000:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,680He was cleared of all charges and was released.49100:32:28,680 --> 00:32:33,240Which makes it all seem too easy.49200:32:33,240 --> 00:32:42,800Now, two years later, he's suing everyone that had the power to put him in that cell.49300:32:42,800 --> 00:32:49,360He filed a lawsuit against the county, the city of Redmond, the Redmond Police Department,49400:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,880even the detective on the case.49500:32:52,880 --> 00:33:00,440The prosecutor, amongst many others, were later added to the complaint by his legal team.49600:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,720Quoting again here.49700:33:02,720 --> 00:33:10,320The suit contends that he never would have been in that cell and certainly not for years49800:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,360if he weren't a black man with a criminal record.49900:33:14,360 --> 00:33:22,360The suit describes an investigation that was so badly handled it can only be characterized50000:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,360as bizarre.50100:33:24,360 --> 00:33:29,920Yeah, holy shit.50200:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,160What's upsetting about that is that it's really not that bizarre.50300:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,160Yeah.50400:33:35,160 --> 00:33:45,480It's baffling, but I would argue it is something we're all a little too accustomed to.50500:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,960Yeah, pretty common.50600:33:46,960 --> 00:33:55,440And again, I'm not clamoring saying that I believe him to necessarily be innocent, but two50700:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,320rungs don't make a right.50800:33:58,320 --> 00:34:04,160Rolling stones account of Emanual's case and the investigation into Arpana's murder50900:34:04,160 --> 00:34:10,840is based on more than a thousand pages of case files and legal documents.51000:34:10,840 --> 00:34:18,840They show that there was persuasive evidence against at least six other suspects that the51100:34:18,840 --> 00:34:26,920detectives were investigating none of whom were black and none of whom spent a day in jail51200:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,240for Arpana's murder.51300:34:30,240 --> 00:34:36,720His lawsuit claims the detectives on the case ignored and failed to gather evidence that51400:34:36,720 --> 00:34:43,680did not align with their theory of the case, but it also alleges they treated Emanual so51500:34:43,680 --> 00:34:51,440differently than the white suspects that the treatment can only be viewed as racial discrimination.51600:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,160It's very clear.51700:34:54,160 --> 00:35:00,120I mean, if that's not what it is, then they really fucked themselves.51800:35:00,120 --> 00:35:05,840They really shot themselves in the foot by just bungling through.51900:35:05,840 --> 00:35:12,640The case files illustrate a number of breaches of protocol, some characterized as careless52000:35:12,640 --> 00:35:21,520errors, which is not something I ever want to see in connection with a murder investigation.52100:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,200You'd hope.52200:35:23,200 --> 00:35:29,520Just a few examples, such as not training their detectives to change gloves between DNA52300:35:29,520 --> 00:35:30,520samples.52400:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,160What the fuck years is this?52500:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,280I literally don't remember.52600:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,120I think it's like 2009.52700:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,720Way after CSI.52800:35:38,720 --> 00:35:42,040Like, you know these things, even if you're not trained.52900:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,040You should know.53000:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,040Right.53100:35:44,040 --> 00:35:45,040Jesus, really.53200:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,600They didn't change their effing gloves.53300:35:47,600 --> 00:35:53,160You have to do that while handling food.53400:35:53,160 --> 00:36:00,080And also not securing key locations of the crime scene.53500:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,560There's more.53600:36:02,560 --> 00:36:09,240To calling in a famous psychic medium to weigh in on the case, which like do you boo, but53700:36:09,240 --> 00:36:17,240you don't get to do that when you've done all of the other things that predate that.53800:36:17,240 --> 00:36:18,240Yeah.53900:36:18,240 --> 00:36:20,840Doing that should just supplement all the right things you do.54000:36:20,840 --> 00:36:25,800I just, and there's a lot of people that would say, no, you never do that.54100:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,280So I feel as though we're being fairly generous.54200:36:29,280 --> 00:36:37,800And I think it's because we're witches, but the case against a manual that led to his nearly54300:36:37,800 --> 00:36:43,880nine years spent behind bars relied heavily on DNA evidence.54400:36:43,880 --> 00:36:50,360Trace amounts found on Arpana's neck, her robe, and the duct tape used to restrain54500:36:50,360 --> 00:36:51,560her.54600:36:51,560 --> 00:36:57,080But understanding how some of that evidence could have been mishandled, certainly muddies54700:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,920the water.54800:36:59,920 --> 00:37:05,880It also seems fair to say that Emanual's background likely led to bias as well.54900:37:05,880 --> 00:37:10,600When they ran a background check and discovered that he had a record, they may have immediately55000:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,440thought they'd found their man.55100:37:13,440 --> 00:37:18,440Though the bulk of the report showed mostly juvenile offenses like possession of drugs55200:37:18,440 --> 00:37:23,160and an unlicensed weapon.55300:37:23,160 --> 00:37:30,640There was a charge that would have stood out from 2004, the third degree rape charge.55400:37:30,640 --> 00:37:38,920He had entered an Alfred plea in that case, which means that he accepted the plea agreement55500:37:38,920 --> 00:37:43,080while still maintaining his innocence.55600:37:43,080 --> 00:37:47,920A common tactic when you can't afford to go to trial.55700:37:47,920 --> 00:37:54,760Oh, that just makes me so sad because what if he is innocent of all of it?55800:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,920He spent three years in prison for that charge.55900:37:58,920 --> 00:38:08,120In a 2016 pretrial interview obtained by the suspect podcast, Detective Cotes was asked56000:38:08,120 --> 00:38:14,440if the prior conviction was significant to his investigation.56100:38:14,440 --> 00:38:19,280He replied, "If you've done it before, you'll do it again."56200:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,080Oh, come on.56300:38:21,080 --> 00:38:25,680Which I hate how much.56400:38:25,680 --> 00:38:35,680It brought up Richard Gilmore for me because that's exactly what I would say about him.56500:38:35,680 --> 00:38:36,680Yeah.56600:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,680And hopefully, I'm wrong.56700:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,080I'm fucking hopes so too.56800:38:43,080 --> 00:38:48,240Which may well be at least anecdotally correct.56900:38:48,240 --> 00:38:53,320I think there are statistics to back that up with certain types of crimes, but it doesn't57000:38:53,320 --> 00:38:59,080necessarily look great to have said that on the record regarding this case.57100:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,240Yeah, because you're never going to get rid of that.57200:39:01,240 --> 00:39:03,400You're always going to have that bias now.57300:39:03,400 --> 00:39:04,400Yep.57400:39:04,400 --> 00:39:09,920But of course, it was the testing of the DNA that really got us here.57500:39:09,920 --> 00:39:16,480His DNA matched a sample found on Arpana's robe that was found at the crime scene, which57600:39:16,480 --> 00:39:24,880as you'll recall was an unsecured apartment unit and the complex dumpster, essentially.57700:39:24,880 --> 00:39:30,200They also confirmed that he was a match to DNA connected to the role of duct tape that57800:39:30,200 --> 00:39:36,440was used in the crime scene as well, which would be damning, but I feel as though there could57900:39:36,440 --> 00:39:43,320be plenty of reasonable explanations on Halloween night for him to have touched that in a completely58000:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,960unrelated manner.58100:39:45,960 --> 00:39:51,040Doesn't that seem like something, you know, like part of your costume is, you know, coming58200:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,040apart.58300:39:52,040 --> 00:39:56,640Maybe you need a piece of duct tape or I don't know.58400:39:56,640 --> 00:40:03,800I just feel like in a big group of drunk people, presumably on Halloween night at a Halloween58500:40:03,800 --> 00:40:08,520party in costumes, like something breaks.58600:40:08,520 --> 00:40:14,160I just, I came up with a few different ideas for like why maybe that happened.58700:40:14,160 --> 00:40:15,160Yeah.58800:40:15,160 --> 00:40:16,360Why would you need duct tape?58900:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,040What would you need it for?59000:40:18,040 --> 00:40:24,800Why would there be a perfectly reasonable, like alternate story behind that?59100:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,040Well, people use duct tape all the time.59200:40:27,040 --> 00:40:31,400It's a staple, so I think it's less suspicious than the fucking motor oil.59300:40:31,400 --> 00:40:32,400Yeah.59400:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,200I have to agree.59500:40:34,200 --> 00:40:35,840I have to agree.59600:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,360But it's hard to know one way or the other.59700:40:38,360 --> 00:40:46,760There was also a match to a tiny sliver of DNA, so small that it had to be sent to a specialized59800:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,240lab on the front of Arpana's neck.59900:40:50,240 --> 00:40:59,520So, but I have to wonder if our evolving understanding of touch DNA in more recent years60000:40:59,520 --> 00:41:06,320perhaps changes the perception of how valuable this particular sample is to the prosecution's60100:41:06,320 --> 00:41:07,320case.60200:41:07,320 --> 00:41:16,520It's entirely possible in certain situations, especially if you were engaged in some type60300:41:16,520 --> 00:41:24,880of an intimate or sexual encounter that was consensual that you could leave DNA behind60400:41:24,880 --> 00:41:25,880on someone.60500:41:25,880 --> 00:41:26,880Yeah.60600:41:26,880 --> 00:41:36,360So, this case is really one of the first where I thought to myself, wow, is that even evidence?60700:41:36,360 --> 00:41:42,680I'm certainly not going to, I'm not going to say one way or the other.60800:41:42,680 --> 00:41:52,520I don't have enough detailed in-depth knowledge of how that DNA testing is done, you know,60900:41:52,520 --> 00:41:59,320what the sample size is, but it's my new, it's done by a specialty lab and it definitely61000:41:59,320 --> 00:42:00,320makes you wonder.61100:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,560Did they say what it was?61200:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,640What if he just like sneezed on her?61300:42:04,640 --> 00:42:09,680Yeah, that's the other thing is, you know, I probably could have dug around any of the61400:42:09,680 --> 00:42:14,640court records to find out like, okay, is this blood, is this semen, is this spit, is this,61500:42:14,640 --> 00:42:20,880but to me, it almost is like, if it's really that minute, it almost doesn't even matter.61600:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,280Yeah.61700:42:22,280 --> 00:42:23,280I don't know.61800:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,480It's about a hug or something, what if, I don't know.61900:42:26,480 --> 00:42:32,640I mean, quite literally, I've been hearing more and more about cases where people are convicted62000:42:32,640 --> 00:42:41,600on, you know, such minute samples or, you know, this kind of, the principle of it being touch62100:42:41,600 --> 00:42:51,960DNA and it really sets people up to look guilty when they're not because the jury is made62200:42:51,960 --> 00:42:59,640up of people like me who don't really understand that like, this is minute and they're not going62300:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,920out of their way to explain that.62400:43:01,920 --> 00:43:08,480Police files show that there are multiple other men in Arpana's life that had as much62500:43:08,480 --> 00:43:16,720if not more evidence against them and several more that were never thoroughly investigated.62600:43:16,720 --> 00:43:22,840The key difference between them, the suit alleges is that none of the other men were black.62700:43:22,840 --> 00:43:27,800Under the law, probable cause requires you to look at the whole picture.62800:43:27,800 --> 00:43:33,160You can't leave out the fact that there was basically everyone else's DNA at the scene62900:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,400too and they did.63000:43:36,400 --> 00:43:43,000And that's a quote actually taken from a statement provided by Emanuel's legal team.63100:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,040And you know what, they're not wrong.63200:43:45,040 --> 00:43:49,560No, because they're lawyers, so they checked.63300:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,040They lawyered hard.63400:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,560They lawyered so hard.63500:43:53,560 --> 00:43:59,640His and an uncle showed up at the courthouse every day during his trial.63600:43:59,640 --> 00:44:05,680Whenever his case was on the docket, even if he wasn't going to be there, they packed lunch63700:44:05,680 --> 00:44:10,800and snacks for long hours spent on hard courthouse benches.63800:44:10,800 --> 00:44:18,440Now his aunt describes that time as understandably the worst years.63900:44:18,440 --> 00:44:19,440Years.64000:44:19,440 --> 00:44:23,360I just, I cannot believe how long it took.64100:44:23,360 --> 00:44:29,760Emanuel now lives with the couple as he attempts to rebuild his life, but he struggled finding64200:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,600suitable long term employment.64300:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,280I, yeah, make sense.64400:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,680But prepare yourself because you're going to be super pissed about some of the employment64500:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,720that he has found.64600:44:41,720 --> 00:44:49,520According to the Rolling Stone, since his release, he exists in a strange systemic purgatory.64700:44:49,520 --> 00:44:55,640A man who was incarcerated for nearly a decade, but never convicted of a crime.64800:44:55,640 --> 00:45:02,080Emanuel says that while he was in jail, he dreaded the possibility of being convicted and64900:45:02,080 --> 00:45:03,880exonerated.65000:45:03,880 --> 00:45:11,960His lawyers say that in some ways, at least, he would have been better off if he had been.65100:45:11,960 --> 00:45:19,480His lawyer said, let's imagine that Immanuel was wrongfully convicted.65200:45:19,480 --> 00:45:25,860He would have spent a number of years in prison, but when he got out, he would be on parole.65300:45:25,860 --> 00:45:31,840There would be people to help him get a job, to help him get his feet on the ground, some65400:45:31,840 --> 00:45:36,240very, very needed mental health care.65500:45:36,240 --> 00:45:45,680He suffers from depression, anxiety and PTSD, but because he wasn't convicted, he's got nothing.65600:45:45,680 --> 00:45:50,800Nothing, they don't do anything for you.65700:45:50,800 --> 00:45:55,880And I said, you're going to hate what kind of work he has found.65800:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,600He has worked in security.65900:45:58,600 --> 00:46:07,000I was going to say security, which is just, you know, for anyone that's been convicted of66000:46:07,000 --> 00:46:12,920a crime previously, you know, this is prior to the crime that we're even talking about today.66100:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,760I'm sorry, you just, what?66200:46:15,760 --> 00:46:23,880Yeah, security, but security, you know, it should feel secure.66300:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,760It boggles the mind.66400:46:26,760 --> 00:46:31,680And this next part, it really makes me want to cry.66500:46:31,680 --> 00:46:38,460Emanuel says that he was reluctant to file his lawsuit at first, knowing that Arpana's66600:46:38,460 --> 00:46:42,400family still hasn't gotten justice.66700:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,880There's no resolution for this case, no resolution for her.66800:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,960He said that?66900:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,640That just makes me feel like he is innocent.67000:46:52,640 --> 00:46:57,720I mean, it could be for show, but I just don't know why you would say something like that.67100:46:57,720 --> 00:46:59,720Just never talk about it again.67200:46:59,720 --> 00:47:00,720Right.67300:47:00,720 --> 00:47:02,480I mean, you're in a lawsuit, but still.67400:47:02,480 --> 00:47:03,480Yeah.67500:47:03,480 --> 00:47:04,480I don't know.67600:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,760It really, it really makes you think.67700:47:06,760 --> 00:47:11,480And I definitely, I'll show you some of the photos that I found.67800:47:11,480 --> 00:47:18,720And you can help me pick out our, our photos for the, for any of our posts this week.67900:47:18,720 --> 00:47:27,160But my God, to look at some of these photos, I just think it's, it's going to be a tough,68000:47:27,160 --> 00:47:32,880tough thing for someone to convince me that, that this is the guy.68100:47:32,880 --> 00:47:40,920And the fact that he, the Alfred plea, in the case where he was convicted, it just, yeah,68200:47:40,920 --> 00:47:46,240it's a really sad story from every single angle.68300:47:46,240 --> 00:47:51,400So, because he never got the chance the first time to prove he was innocent.68400:47:51,400 --> 00:47:52,400Yeah.68500:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,200He just had to do that.68600:47:54,200 --> 00:47:55,200Yeah.68700:47:55,200 --> 00:47:59,480So happy fucking Halloween.68800:47:59,480 -->

didn't start until you said that quote.69500:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,000And then I just, all of a sudden got all my hair is standing out.69600:48:16,000 --> 00:48:20,920I've had the chili willies for about three or four minutes now.69700:48:20,920 --> 00:48:21,920Yeah.69800:48:21,920 --> 00:48:23,400So, wow.69900:48:23,400 --> 00:48:24,400Yeah.70000:48:24,400 --> 00:48:28,400So, you think we

communicate with the spirit for you.76900:51:27,880 --> 00:51:28,880Well done.77000:51:28,880 --> 00:51:29,880Good.77100:51:29,880 --> 00:51:30,880Yeah.77200:51:30,880 --> 00:51:32,720Which I kind of, I kind of suspected, but I don't know.77300:51:32,720 --> 00:51:37,800People were worried about their decorations and I have a lot of Ouija decorations.77400:51:37,800 --> 00:51:44,200This is literally the only thing that I own and I felt like, I thought about that today.77500:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,400That's the only thing she owns.77600:51:46,400 --> 00:51:50,920Am I inviting, it's the

jugs.78500:52:18,800 --> 00:52:19,800Jugs.78600:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,240We like them jugs around here.78700:52:22,240 --> 00:52:23,240Okay.78800:52:23,240 --> 00:52:24,840Are you ready for the

fortune.79200:52:36,080 --> 00:52:37,080Okay.79300:52:37,080 --> 00:52:45,920And so similar to the visual in our card imagery here, this lovely card often portrays a79400:52:45,920 --> 00:52:49,920nude female figure in or beside a pool of water.79500:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,240She too is pouring from jugs.79600:52:52,240 --> 00:52:56,440So very, very on point with a ghosty.79700:52:56,440 --> 00:53:01,680In the writer wait Smith Deck, she pours the contents of one picture into a stream and79800:53:01,680 --> 00:53:07,960the other onto the ground, showing the connection between the two feminine elements, water79900:53:07,960 --> 00:53:09,800and earth.80000:53:09,800 --> 00:53:16,760Stars shine in the background, sometimes in a circle or like, oh, or a halo-like formation80100:53:16,760 --> 00:53:18,800around her.80200:53:18,800 --> 00:53:23,160The naked woman represents truth and purity.80300:53:23,160 --> 00:53:27,000Did you see how that word just

description otherwise it differs81000:53:40,920 --> 00:53:41,920with this one.81100:53:41,920 --> 00:53:46,200So I'm going to, I'm going to continue one.81200:53:46,200 --> 00:53:47,200There's an

the other plagues and sorrows had escaped82000:54:03,800 --> 00:54:07,400is the best and last of all things.82100:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,000I feel like that's very fitting for this.82200:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,000Wow.82300:54:11,000 --> 00:54:15,160There was a lot of hurt on a lot of sides.82400:54:15,160 --> 00:54:16,160Yeah.82500:54:16,160 --> 00:54:17,160Okay.82600:54:17,160 --> 00:54:18,160Listen to this.82700:54:18,160 --> 00:54:25,120Reversed interpretation says trust life and its processes and yourself.82800:54:25,120 --> 00:54:31,080The reversed star can mean you're following your path in a private way instead of shining82900:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,760your light into the outer world.83000:54:34,760 --> 00:54:39,840The blessings you receive may be spiritual rather than material.83100:54:39,840 --> 00:54:46,680Perhaps you feel devitalized, uninspired or low on self esteem at this time."83200:54:46,680 --> 00:54:47,680Aww.83300:54:47,680 --> 00:54:54,000"After

you may feel disappointed because a hoped for payment or payoff gets delayed.83600:55:03,240 --> 00:55:07,920Even though you're trying hard, your efforts don't bear much fruit.83700:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,160The time may not be right yet.83800:55:10,160 --> 00:55:11,160Don't give up."83900:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,480Do you know how long this...84000:55:14,480 --> 00:55:15,480The

details on the timeline of the lawsuit aren't in front of mine for me, so I'd have to check.84600:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,240I just hope that that doesn't take as long.84700:55:29,240 --> 00:55:30,840You can imagine.84800:55:30,840 --> 00:55:37,080Yeah, just, you know, a casual 20 years.84900:55:37,080 --> 00:55:42,880If the reading is about your job, you may be hiding your light under a bushel.85000:55:42,880 --> 00:55:51,520You don't realize your true abilities and thus aren't getting ahead as quickly as you could.85100:55:51,520 --> 00:55:59,920The star reversed can also represent disillusionment, disenchantment, or lack of inspiration.85200:55:59,920 --> 00:56:00,920Oh, okay.85300:56:00,920 --> 00:56:01,920Yeah.85400:56:01,920 --> 00:56:02,920Oh, boy.85500:56:02,920 --> 00:56:09,360In a reading about love, this card can mean your expectations are unrealistic.85600:56:09,360 --> 00:56:15,520Your searching for perfection, which can never be attained, or it can indicate you aren't85700:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,600seeing your partner or your relationship clearly.85800:56:18,600 --> 00:56:25,200Hmm, like maybe you actually didn't have one with Arpana and that really pissed you off.85900:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,200Oh, I don't know.86000:56:27,200 --> 00:56:30,440I don't like it either, but here we are.86100:56:30,440 --> 00:56:33,080There's one more extra
