It’s been almost a year and Redmond Police Department investigators still have no “firm susupects” in the murder case of Arpana Jinaga, a 24-year-old software engineer who was strangled to death at her Redmond apartment after a 2008 Halloween party, according to Lt. Doug Shepard.
Shepard said there have been several “people of interest” but no of them panned out to be suspects. Despite having no suspects, Shepard is confident the case will be solved.
“On the one hand, yes it is frustrating,” Shepard said of the investigation. “We would like to identify a suspect and put someone in jail, but on the other hand, murder cases can go on for years before you get a break.”
Shepard said that the murder is not a cold case and remains the No. 1 priority of the division.
A full story on the unsolved murder case will be in Friday’s edition. Stay tuned.
