The Dorm Room Ritual: The Unsolved Murder of Chaim Weiss

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. Why did a wall of silence hinder the investigation for decades, and what was discussed in Chaim's final, secret meeting with his principal?PLEASE be sure to Subscribe to the 15 Minutes of Murder YouTube channel!HELP SOLVE THIS CASE:If you have any information, no matter how small, please contact Nassau County Crime Stoppersat 1-800-244-TIPS or the Homicide Squad at 516-573-7788.
