What happened in Napa on Halloween?

Answer 1

On the evening of Halloween 2003, in the small Northern California town of Napa, 2 young women were murdered in their own home while a 3rd roommate hid in the backyard as she watched the assailent flee through the back yard, a mere few feet from where Lauren was hiding. After the suspect left through the back gate, Lauren felt safe enough to go back into the house to the 2nd floor. Lauren found first one roommate, Adriane Insogna and then the other, Leslie Mazzara, on the upstairs floor. Both were just barely alive. By the time the EMT's arrived both had died. After a year of going nowhere and the case getting colder by the minute, detectives finally got a break. The murderer was in fact the newlywed husband of one of Adriane's closest friends, Lily Prudhomme. Her husband's name was Erik Copple and he and Lily were married 4 months after the murders. He was angry at Adriane because he felt she had been encouraging Lily to break it off with him.
