#135 - Replay Karina Vetrano went missing on August 2, 2016, after leaving the house to jog in Spring Creek Park, New York. A few hours later, her brutally murdered body was discovered along the running path.

The NYPD and the Vetrano family are desperate to find the person responsible for murdering the beautiful, intelligent, 30-year-old Karina. Medical examiners recovered a DNA profile underneath Karina's fingernails, her back, and 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?
