19 year old college student Pravin Varughese goes missing and turns up dead. Local law enforcement immediately writes his death off as a tragic accident, just another college kid drinking too much and freezing to death in the woods. A family fights for justice as they deal with pressure from law enforcement and city officials to just "let it go."

Behind the scenes, the police knew that Pravin had been with a stranger the night of his death, and this stranger had been telling his buddies that he had beat Pravin up that evening, but Pravin's mother Lovely was being told that the bruises on her son's face were post mortem discoloration.

We want to tell you about Pravin, and we want to hear directly from Lovely about the many roadblocks she faced in her over four year fight to get her son's attacker in front of a jury. We also want to discuss how law enforcement can be more compassionate, more communicative, and therefore, more effective. It's time we all work together to make sure every victim receives the respect they deserve, and every case receives the same amount of time and effort to solve. Come find out how, and let's start working together to make things better for everyone.
