Teen Murdered While Walking To Her Dorm Room And A Fire Led Right To Her Killer

Normally, it took Haruka about 10 minutes to make the walk.

Although several people had pointed out to her that the path she took was somewhat dimly lit, unsettlingly quiet, and not well-traveled by other students, she enjoyed the solace.

It was a little slice of peace and quiet amid her jam-packed schedule and the bustling life of a college campus.

The first thing police officers looked to in their search to find Haruka were local security cameras.

There were several near where Haruka had last been, so they collected the footage to review, hoping they had clues for them.

One camera had captured an African American man on a red bicycle headed down a loading dock by Waller Creek at 9:20 the night Haruka vanished.

The man on camera was wearing a black jacket, orange bandana, and glasses.
