The Dorm Room Ritual: The Unsolved Murder of Chaim Weiss - Case Overview

from 15 Minutes of Murder · host Crafted

In 1986, 16-year-old Chaim Weiss was found bludgeoned to death in his dormitory room at a Long Beach, NY yeshiva. Despite a crime scene that appeared ritualistically tampered with—including an open window and a moved body—no motive or suspects were ever found. In this case overview from 15 Minutes of Murder, we dive into one of New York’s most baffling cold cases. Why was the window left open? Why was the body repositioned? And why did a wall of silence from the school hinder the investigation for decades? Key Details in this Case:    •    Victim: Chaim Weiss (16)    •    Location: Torah High School Yeshiva, Long Beach, NY    •    Date: November 1, 1986    •    The Mystery: No signs of forced entry and evidence of a ritualistic aftermath. Please be sure to Subscribe and Like this video to help support 15 Minutes of Murder and continue the work we are doing.
