It was April 21, 2006, and 21-year-old college student Nina Ingram was coming home after a long day. 

Nina had a very busy life. She was two years into her business degree at Northwest Arkansas Community college in Bentonville, Arkansas and also worked full time at Walmart, part of the loss prevention team, basically a security officer. 

That night, Nina had worked her shift, ate dinner at her boyfriend's apartment, and then drove back to her apartment complex a little after 10 pm. 

Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary. But the next day, no one heard from Nina. 

At around 2 pm her other brother, Noah, and his partner, Chad, drove over to Nina’s apartment to check on her. 

They knocked on the door, but Nina didn’t answer. So her brother climbed through an open window into the kitchen. 

Chad waited outside while Noah unlocked the door and the deadbolt, which were both locked. Seconds later, he heard Noah scream. 

Chad went in through the now unlocked front door and raced into Nina’s bedroom in the back of the apartment; he and Noah saw her lying face up on the bed with what Chad described as very visible red scratches and bruises around her neck. Chad told police that he knew immediately that she was dead.  

Was Nina Ingram murdered by a serial killer, was this a random attack, or was it someone she knew?
