Hell and Gone Murder Line: Nina Ingram Part 3

Sometime after ten pm on April 21, 2006, 21-year-old college student Nina Ingram was brutally murdered inside her apartment in Fayetteville, Arkansas. 

The cause of death was ligature strangulation, and The Arkansas State Crime lab ruled the death a homicide. Despite  the fact that detectives interviewed dozens of Nina’s friends, coworkers and her significant other, they had no viable suspects for years. 

The Fayetteville Police Department considered this a cold case, their only unsolved one at the time since the 1970s. But then in 2012 they arrested and charged  26-year-old Rico Tavarous Cohn with Nina’s murder. 

But the case against Rico Cohn was not as solid as it appeared to be on the surface. He spent over three years behind bars, and then, the case against him was dismissed.

Three years later in 2018, Rico filed a civil lawsuit against the Fayetteville Police Department detectives and employees at the Arkansas State Crime Lab who he alleged violated his civil rights. 

This lawsuit claimed that there were several people of interest who police interviewed who were potential suspects...suspects that the lawsuit alleges were overlooked. 

The person who murdered Nina has never been found. This person is still out there. Could the answers to finding Nina’s killer be there and is this person still out there?
