from 15 Minutes of Murder · host Crafted
In 1986, 15-year-old Chaim Weiss was found brutally bludgeoned in his dormitory at a Long Beach, NY, yeshiva. The crime scene was a puzzle of contradictions: no forced entry, yet ritualistic details like an open window and a moved body suggested someone familiar with the faith was responsible.Tonight, the 15 Minutes of Murder team—Desiree, Tanisha, and our producer Craig — take a deep dive into "The Dorm Room Ritual." We examine the mysterious timeline, the "inside job" theories, and the eerie events leading up to that Halloween night.
