I had a bad shock recently. I got reacquainted with the notion that there is evil in the world. I learned this week that the little sister of a high school classmate of mine was brutally murdered 20 years ago. The murder was never solved. I didn’t know anything about it until this week.<\/p>\n
My classmate’s name is Robin Arquette, her sister’s name was Kaitlyn Arquette. She was murdered July 16, 1989 in Albuquerque, New Mexico at the age of 18. The killer was never found. The police have given up. The family has a web site “Who Killed Kaitlyn Arquette<\/a>” that tells the story and contains a ton of information about the murder and leads that were never followed by the police.<\/p>\n Robin was an acquaintance rather than a friend but still I knew her fairly well but had not kept up with her. I last talked to her at our 15 year reunion the year before her sister was killed.<\/p>\n Doing some research I find out that the Arquette’s are a talented family. Robin and Kait’s mother is Lois Duncan<\/a>, who wrote the book “Hotel for Dogs” that was recently released as a movie. “I Know What You Did Last Summer” is also her book. She also wrote a book about her the murder of her daughter “Who Killed My Daughter<\/a>?” and a sequel that came out in 2013, One to the Wolves, on the Trail of a Killer<\/a>. She always had\u00a0several projects going including the filming of a movie for the Lifetime Network. She taught at the University of New Mexico and has 300 published magazine articles, and was a contributing editor to Woman’s Day. She had a very nice web site<\/a>. I don’t ever remember even meeting Robin’s mother.<\/p>\n The Arquette family is amazing. They are devastated by Kait’s unsolved murder but are moving forward with their lives, while diligently and patiently pursuing justice for their daughter.<\/p>\n
