Murder of Karina Vetrano

Published: April 6, 2020, 7 a.m.

#014 - Karina Vetrano went missing on August 2, 2016 after leaving the house to go out jogging in Spring Creek Park, New York. Her brutally murdered body was discovered along the running path a few hours later.

The NYPD and the Vetrano family are desperate to find the person responsible for murdering the beautiful, smart, 30-year old Karina. Medical examiners recovered a DNA profile underneath Karina's fingernails, on her back, and on her cell phone. But the DNA profile doesn't lead to an immediate arrest in the case.

It took NYPD nearly 6 months, but they finally arrested a suspect in Karina's murder, 20-year old Brooklyn resident, Chanel Lewis.

Did police and prosecutors have enough forensic evidence to put Lewis behind bars for Karina's murder?
