Chronicle 45: "Unexpected Visitor - The Murder of Andrea DelVesco"

Author: Nicole Turner February 27, 2023 Duration: 22:05
This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). In September of 2015, UCLA senior Andrea DelVesco lay in her bed, peacefully sleeping, when an unexpected visitor broke into her off-campus apartment in the wee hours of the morning, for no apparent reason or motive other than to assault and murder her. Even though an upstairs neighbor heard the commotion, saw a suspicious man near the apartment, AND called 9-1-1 twice to report what she heard and saw, police initially arrived to the scene, but found nothing. They canvased the area, which seemed quiet, undisturbed, nothing out of the ordinary. So officers left the apartment complex, but they failed to even knock on Andrea’s apartment door or go inside. They would return for a second time, about 30 minutes later, to find Andrea’s apartment up in flames.

Nicole Turner has spent her career within the walls of academia, and now she brings that unique perspective to Campus Crime Chronicles. As both a professor and an administrator, she understands the complex ecosystem of a college campus-the rhythms of student life, the pressures, the closed communities, and the specific vulnerabilities that can exist. This podcast digs into cases that occur in these unique settings, from long-unsolved mysteries in campus libraries to modern-day digital crimes that spread through university networks. Each episode is built on meticulous research, examining not just the "what" of a crime, but the "why" these environments can become a backdrop for tragedy. You'll hear about cases that made national headlines alongside obscure incidents that reveal deeper systemic issues, all analyzed through Nicole's informed lens. The goal isn't just to recount events, but to explore the lasting impact on victims, families, and the very idea of a campus as a sanctuary. For anyone fascinated by true crime but weary of the same well-trodden stories, this series offers a distinct and thoughtful niche. Tune in for a compelling blend of investigative narrative and institutional insight, where every story begins at a place meant for learning.
