Summary

In April of 2016, UT Austin freshman Haruka Weiser left an evening dance practice to head back to her dorm. She called her roommate to let her know she was on the way, but she never made it. When she failed to show up the next morning and missed her early classes, a missing person’s report was filed, and authorities began the search for Haruka along the paths she was known to take between classes. The next day, her body was found on campus, and with help from surveillance footage, a suspect emerged and was arrested within days. Haruka’s death led to increased security on campus and left a lasting impact on the UT Austin Community. Want access to our first 45 episodes? Grab em here!
