help Suspect FAQ

What case does the first season of Suspect investigate?

Season 1 examines the 2008 killing of Arpana Jinaga, who was found dead after a Halloween party at her apartment complex in Redmond, Washington. The investigation focuses heavily on the party, forensic evidence and the prosecution of Emanuel Fair.

Was anyone convicted of Arpana Jinaga's murder in Suspect?

Emanuel Fair was tried for the murder but was acquitted in 2019 after spending years in jail awaiting and undergoing trial. The season examines both the unsolved killing and the weaknesses in the case built against him.

Does every season of Suspect cover the same crime?

No. Suspect is an anthology, so later seasons investigate different cases rather than continuing Arpana Jinaga's story. For example, Vanished in the Snow concerns the disappearance of Jonelle Matthews in Colorado.

Who made the Suspect podcast?

Suspect was created by Campside Media in association with Wondery. Season 1 is reported by Matthew Shaer and Eric Benson, using interviews, police material and courtroom reporting.
