m. part was in bed next to his sleeping girlfriend just staring up at the ceiling unable to sleep part was so anxious about whatever was going on with his mom because where he was staying his bedroom was right next door to the guest bedroom where his mom was staying and so he already knows there's clearly some issue here with his mom but all night he's been listening to her next door just pacing and crying in this guest bedroom and he has no idea what's going on but deep down part knew that whatever was going on it very likely had to do with his father whose name was Arun Kamar part's parents had a complicated relationship they had immigrated from India decades earlier and it settled in Pennsylvania where they had two kids part and part's sister part's father Arun Kamar worked as an engineer at Boeing and part's mother owned a 7-Eleven franchise and basically since arriving in America the two two of them had really come with nothing and had worked their way up to now to where they had a very comfortable life kind of like the American dream you know the house the white picket fence the kids you know the whole thing and so part had always believed that you know his parents as a result of getting through so much hardship together that they must truly love each other now I mean to have gone through all that together that would certainly make two people very close and for the most part that actually seemed to have been the case that his parents just got along great and were a great couple that is until a couple of years earlier Arun Kamar had started an affair and part's mother had caught him now Arun Kamar said that you know this affair meant nothing and he would stop right now and part's mother had forgiven him you know in order to keep the family together but despite part's mom forgiving Arun Kamar deep down she just knew she could never actually trust him again and so she actually wound up enlisting part's help to basically watch Arun kar's Behavior she had part set up the software that basically spied on Arun kamaro's computer through this software part's mom could basically watch Arun kar's email traffic and all of his internet activity now part had not felt good about setting up the Spy software on his dad's computer it just felt totally wrong to be getting in between his parents like this but he just felt like this was the only way part's mom was ever going to be able to actually move on and so part sort of felt like this was his responsibility this is the way that the family was going to stay together his mom really just needed that extra layer of transparency on her husband other otherwise the family was going to fall apart but now as part lay in his bed unable to sleep listening to his mom Pace back and forth in the room next door he began to think to himself you know maybe my mom found something using the software on my dad's computer maybe aun Kamar had started another affair and that was why his mom was now so upset but just then part heard a new noise coming out of his mother's room at first it kind of sounded like low murmuring like his mom was saying something to herself but then he realized his mom was having a real conversation with somebody on the phone and since part couldn't sleep and he was pretty intrigued about what the heck was going on with his mom to begin with he decided to basically spy on his mom so he very quietly got out of his bed and he walked around to the wall that lined up against his mother's room and he put his ear to the wall and he began to listen and what he heard was far worse than anything he could have imagined what he heard his mom saying to whoever she was talking on the phone was that she had discovered that Arun Kamar had taken out $3. 6 million in life insurance policies on part on his sister and on his mother and now part's mom was saying to whoever she was talking to on the phone that she wasn't even worried about divorce at this point she was worried about the physical safety of her and her kids she was worried that her husband was going to kill her and her kids to get this payout and so not long after saying this part's mom hung up the phone and went back to pacing and crying in the room and part meanwhile has just heard this horrifying news and he had no idea what to make of it I mean he knew his dad was not a good husband but the idea that his dad would want to hurt his wife or him or his sister just seemed totally impossible but then as Parts standing there just kind of processing what he's heard he began to think back to these recent behavioral changes he noticed in his father that at the time he had kind of chocked up to you know maybe my dad's stressed or something but now given the context of what his mom was talking about Park began to wonder if these behavioral changes were a sign of something being terribly wrong with his father the first change that part had noticed happened a few weeks earlier now part's dad was normally a very mild mannered and calm guy but a few weeks earlier he had gotten into this vicious dispute with their nextdoor neighbor over the property line that ran between their two properties it was like he was picking a fight with the neighbor or something and then a few days after that one of the bathroom sinks in their house had stopped working and so Arun Kamar got out his tools and went to go break apart the sink and put it back together again and because he was an engineer this was something he did this was typical Behavior but after breaking apart the sink basically ripping it all apart and having all the parts on the ground part's dad didn't put it back together he just left all the tools and all the parts just scattered across the bathroom floor and considering that aroon Kamar was typically incredibly meticulous and organized and and he's This brilliant engineer to part seeing his dad leave this sloppy mess and this unfinished sink it just it felt totally off and so standing there in his bedroom to totally horrified about everything he's heard and you know now kind of second guessing everything he knew about his dad who suddenly seemed like this combative kind of disorganized guy part suddenly felt like I have to learn more here I have to figure out if my dad really is a threat so part quietly left his bedroom and made his way to the kitchen where his laptop was and he loaded up that software that spied on his dad's computer and as he began logging into this program part was thinking you know maybe I'm going to find something that will show that my mom mom is clearly just overreacting and misinterpreting what she's seeing that you know my dad is not you know out to kill us for some insurance payout but after loading up this program and kind of scanning through some recent activity part realized that actually the situation with his dad was way worse than his mom had made out on that call he overheard he not only found all these multi-million dollar insurance policies taken out on him his sister and his mom but also he discovered the stash of fraudulent looking paperwork there were all these passport photos of his father but then connected to these photos was a passport application that was using somebody else's name as if his father was trying to forge paperwork to create a phony passport for himself and so at this point part felt like his mother was certainly not overreacting here that in fact it really did seem like his father was you know preparing to kill his family and collect millions of dollars in insurance money and then using this you know fake passport he was making he'd be able to flee the country for the next several days parts mom stayed at part's apartment but she barely ever left the guest bedroom and then when she would leave the bedroom part would go up to her and try to ask her you know hey what's going on without giving away how much he knew already but part's mom was like nope I don't want to talk about it and she would just go right back in the room shut and lock the door and so finally after several days of this part just went to his mom's bedroom door he knocked on the door until she answered and then before she could kind of sh him away he said Mom stop I know what's going on I read the emails and we have to figure out what we're going to do because our lives literally depend on it I agree with you it looks like dad is going to kill us and then flee the country and so part and his mom would talk through all the details of what was found on his computer and ultimately they would decide that part would be the one to go to police and tell them what was going on with aunar and so the next day part went to the police station you know with a stack of evidence that he believed would implicate his father and you know part was so nervous about this he was shaking but when he talked to an actual police officer they looked over his evidence and they heard the whole story but they told him like look we really can't do anything about this they told par that you know it's not illegal to take out life insurance policies on your family and then also the police officer pointed out that in addition to Arun Kamar taking out those policies on his kids and his wife he had also taken out a policy on himself and made his wife and his kids the beneficiaries of that policy and so the police officer said look this does not look like a murder plot to me it just looks like your dad is doing something fairly responsible and then as for the passport application paperwork where his dad had used a phony name the police officer said look he has not filed this paperwork and so it's not illegal what he's doing anybody can get some paperwork out and fill it in with whatever they want it becomes illegal if they attempt to actually pass it off and submit the paperwork and as far as we know he hasn't done that so that's weird but it's not illegal and so part had to leave the police station and he went back to the apartment and he told his mom what happened and ultimately they decided that all they could do now was just wait and continue to watch that software that monitored Arun kar's computer and just hope Arun Kamar would do something that was incriminating that they could then bring to the police and say see he's trying to kill us and collect a payout and flee the [Music] country thank you to better help for sponsoring today's video back in 2017 I had just gotten out of the military after 7 years of service and honestly it was a huge struggle trying to re integrate back into civilian life Not only was I totally out of the loop with modern technology but I also had no idea how to get a job or even how to identify what a good job was I just felt lost and so that combined with dark thoughts swirling around my head from previous deployments made it so I really couldn't even function and so before long I was jobless depressed and angry but I didn't tell anyone even though I had been raised in a household where talking about your feelings was a very normal thing but now that I really needed to do that I just couldn't but luckily my family and friends noticed the big change in my behavior and ultimately they convinced me to go seek out professional help and I'm so glad I did because it was such a relief speaking to a

constantly checked this software and watched what Arun Kamar was doing on his computer all they saw was aun Kamar was using his computer to do work emails and really basic stuff absolutely nothing incriminating and in fact over these few days Arun Kamar would actually call part's mom to ask her when she was coming back home again and she would tell him that basically she was going to stay at part's Place indefinitely and darun Kamar did not seem upset or annoyed by this at all if anything it just seemed like he was really distracted and wasn't actually listening to part's mom as she was speaking and while this did seem kind of suspicious to part and his mom that basically aun Kamar didn't care that his wife wasn't coming home anytime soon it still wasn't incriminating and so part and his mom decided to just continue looking deeper and deeper into Arun kamaro's computer to see if there was anything that could begin to explain what was really going on here and sure enough part dug deeper and deeper into Arun kar's computer and he did discover something part began finding all these emails with people back in India that kind of vaguely indicated that Aron Kamar was involved in a very sketchy deal like a business deal now again the emails were incredibly vague but what was clear in these back and forths in these emails was that it seemed like Aron Kamar had gotten wrapped up with some really shady people and they were having these really nasty exchanges in these emails about this you know deal that Arun Kamar seemed to be involved in and so part began to wonder if maybe he and his mom had this all backwards that he his mom and his sister were not the ones actually in danger here that in fact it was Arun Kamar who was in danger maybe because this deal you know went South and these people that he was doing this deal with maybe they were mad at him and so perhaps all these life insurance policies and this new fake identity were some sort of moved by a run Kamar to kind of flee the danger he was in and so obviously if this was true this was still a horrible situation for their whole family but it was markedly better than what part and his mom had been operating on before which which was you know that Arun Kamar was going to kill his whole family and so pretty quickly as a result of kind of thinking about this in a new way part's mother started feeling a lot better about the whole situation and actually left part's apartment and went back to the house to go live with aun Kamar and part himself began to think that you know maybe this is not as big of a deal as we thought it was you know I'm sure my dad will figure out whatever he needs to figure out here to get out of whatever mess he's in and over the coming days you know Park checked in with his mom every single day because now she's living with a run Kamar and she said everything was fine and part you know he continued to check his dad's computer activity and nothing else really popped up it was still just the same stuff they had originally found and so it just kind of seemed like you know maybe this really is not as big of a deal as we thought it was but on the morning of January 20th 2008 so about 2 and A2 weeks after part's mom showed up at his apartment everything changed on that morning part logged into his computer to check on his dad's computer using that software because he was still checking it every single day and the first thing he saw was his dad had sent this email to this woman who par didn't know and this woman was certainly not his mother and in this email his dad told this person that he had a big contract coming up and he was going to make a ton of money from it and then also at the end of this email he told this woman that he loved her and so right away Parts thinking okay my dad is obviously having another affair because this is not my mom and he's saying he loves her and also what's my dad talking about with this big contract coming up is he talking about the insurance policies does he expect those to pay out soon indicating that I my sister or my mom might be dead and then also the other thing that part noticed that morning as he's checking through his dad's computer activity is he found another message his dad had sent out recently where he communicated to somebody that his father had died so part's grandfather had died and also in this message Aron Kamar is telling this person that he's going to go to his dad's funeral alone that his wife and two kids were not invited to this funeral and so Parts reading this and he's totally devastated by the fact that his grandfather's dead and the fact that what he's not being invited to the funeral but again he's thinking oh my gosh is that because my dad thinks I'm not going to be alive is this all connected you know between the big contract and the fact that we're not going to be at the funeral is this my dad thinking he's going to enact this murder plot soon part didn't know but he felt like he and his mom and his sister were running out of time and he needed to act right now and so part got off his computer he called his mom and they made a plan that evening at around 9:15 p. m. par got in his car and began driving towards his parents house to go confront his dad this was the plan he and his mom had come up with basically his mom would stay at part's apartment and part would go and tell his dad you know we know about what you're doing and you got to stop and even though part was totally jacked up on adrenaline as he drove towards the house he felt like he really had the upper hand going into whatever this confrontation was going to be because number one part was showing up totally unannounced at night to to his dad's place I mean his dad's going to be caught off guard when he sees him and also part knew he was much physically bigger than his father part was over 6t tall and over 200 lb and so he had the physical angle as well and so part really felt confident driving towards the house that he was going to come out the Victor in whatever ensued at around 10:45 p.

m. part finally arrived in front of his parents house he parked the car he got out he walked up the front steps and he knocked on the front door and a couple of seconds later Arun Kamar came to the door he opened it up and he's totally confused to see his son standing there and then before run Kamar could do anything part in his deepest and most authoritative voice looked at his dad and said we need to talk and then he intentionally bumped into his dad with his shoulder as he walked into the house and so his dad is like standing at the front door not really sure what's going on and part after taking a few steps in he abruptly turns around and so now he's looking back at his dad and he takes a step forward and gets right in his dad's face and says I know I know what you're up to I know what you've done and you have a simple choice to make you can either stop what you're doing and become the family man you're supposed to be faithful to Mom or I'm going to go to the police and tell them what you're up to and you're going to go to jail either way whatever you're doing stops right now and for a moment part and Arun Kamar are basically staring at each other in silence and then Arun Kamar before par could stop him basically ran past part passed him down the hallway and he ran into the master bedroom disappearing from part's View and so Parts turned around and he wasn't expecting this and suddenly all that confidence he had going into this confrontation was gone cuz he's thinking oh my goodness my dad maybe he's got a weapon in there I need to get in there and stop him and so part he turns and runs down the hallway he darts into the bedroom having no idea what he's going to see inside but what he sees does catch him off guard Arun Kamar is just sitting on the bed doing nothing he's just staring what looks like at the wall and Par just stops in the doorway looks at his dad and then realizes his dad's not just absently staring at the wall he's staring into the open bathroom and in the open bathroom on the ground are all those tools left over from where his dad had been working on the sink and then never finished like all these tools are scattered on the ground including one tool that now part is realizing his dad is looking directly at it was a big heavy metal pipe wrench and suddenly part realized my dad is looking at a weapon and he's considering whether or not to get that weapon and attack me with it the next morning part's mother pulled up in front of the house that she shared with a Runar and she walked up the steps went to the front door she opened it up and as soon as she stepped inside she yelled out you know hello who's here but there was silence and immediately she got a bad feeling but she knew she had to investigate and so part's mom began slowly walking down the hallway the same hallway that Parton's dad had been fighting in the night before and she went down the hallway and she turned and looked at into the master bedroom and she couldn't believe what she saw there was blood on the carpets on the walls it was a blood bath and in the middle of the room was an obvious dead body that was so mutilated and destroyed she couldn't even identify it and so seconds later she' run outside and dialed 911 it would take police almost 4 years to finally untangle Arun kar's insane Web of Lies and also make an arrest for the murder that took place inside of that house and the reason it took nearly four years is because nothing in this case was what it looked like now part and his mother had been correct about a number of things about Arun Kamar for example Arun Kamar was having another affair he had taken out life insurance policies on his whole family and he was looking to obtain a fake identity they were also right that Arun Kamar had become embroiled in a very shady deal back in India but the specifics of that deal were not what part and part's mom thought it was and when Arun Kamar announced in that message that you know his father had died and he'd be traveling to India all alone that his wife and his kids weren't coming they weren't invited well part and his mom had been correct that this was a cover this was an excuse for Arun Kamar to put his big plan into action and Arun kar's big plan did involve murder and so part and his mom were right about that aspect of his plan however Arun kar's Target for this murder was not who part and his mom thought it was they were not the target Aron Kamar was going to Mur murder himself or more specifically he was going to pretend to kill himself that was actually the Shady deal he was involved in back in India he was working with people who could help him fake his own death and so what he was going to do is go to India fake his death and then once he was dead on paper that would trigger an insurance payout of his own life insurance policy and that money would go to his wife and his kids and then Arun Kamar would disappear using his fake identity he would have along with his mistress the woman he was having in fair with that was the person he had sent that email to talking about the big payout but part and part's mom did not know this last critical piece of Arun kar's plan they really believed they were the target of this big plot that they were going to get killed and so that's why they felt like they had to act first so on January 20th 2008 part and his mother worked out an alibi for themselves what they were going to tell people is that at around 8:00 pm part went and picked up his mother from the house that she shared with a run Kamar and the two of them just went back to part's apartment and that was it but in reality part never went over and picked his mom up and brought her back to the apartment instead she was at the house with aunar when part showed up at 10:45 p. m.
