When a Florida college student is found dead in her dorm under highly suspicious circumstances, her death is ruled a homicide—at first. Disappearing evidence, medical examiners at odds and disgraced public officials all combine to undermine an investigation in this episode of Last Seen Alive.
Jennifer Kauris was 19-years-old when she died in her dorm room at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, in March of 1998. Her death was originally ruled a homicide, although controversy followed this ruling.
