October 31st, 1986 Long Beach, New York

I am Weiss, a 15-year-old Orthodox Jewish student at the Yeshiva High School

attend Shabbat Services and returns to his dormitory.

The following morning, Haim's body is found on his dorm room floor.

At some point during the night, someone entered his room and brutally murdered him while he slept. Police conduct an extensive investigation and interview students and faculty members from the Yeshiva

but are unable to find a solid suspect or any discernible motive for Hyam's murder.

After that, the trail went cold. Oh, uh, well, uh, and uh, uh, and uh, uh, uh, uh, and uh, and uh, and

I'm your host Robin Warder, and since we have entered October, our podcast has now officially

started the countdown towards Halloween, as all of our featured cases this month are going to have some sort of creepy

Halloween angle to them.

And our first story is one of our most highly requested cases to cover on this podcast,

the 1986 murderer of Hyam Weiss.

This story was featured on Unsolved Mysteries and ranks as one of the creepiest segments

As by all accounts, Hyam Weiss was a very popular, well-like teenage boy with no known

enemies, yet someone went to the trouble of sneaking into a dormitory containing dozens of students to savagely attack Hyam as he slept, and no one has any idea why.

Unsaw mysteries really played up the fact that the murder took place at a yeshiva, a school which teaches the principles of Orthodox Judaism and has a strict emphasis on maintaining its centuries-old traditions.
