I just started reading the book tonight by her mother, "who killed my daughter?" I never really paid much attention to this case when I watched it, until I started reading the book. It is an interesting and very sad story. I searched for topics about it on this board, but couldn't find any. What do you feel happened? I don't think it was random, some foreign people get very serious when it comes to their money/scams and I don't doubt that the vietnamese murdered her. It is very tragic that she was on her way home from her friends when it happened.

Sounds good, but was it ever on UM?

Yes, it's even on one of crystaldawn's dvds.

It was always strange her boyfriend would not speak in English when he would talk to his friends. This always led me to believe he was involved with her murder. Plus, the phone call made the night of her death from the apartment makes me think something more was going on. The segment did say the boyfriend came to the hosiptal and stayed at her bedside until she passed away, but maybe he did this to throw off investigators. Maybe she was finally going to expose the insurence scam and give the police names...

Well I will have to read the book written by Kaitlyn's mother it sounds interesting. Well, her boyfriend wasnt the one that made the calls from the apartment because he was at the hospital all night and he never left Kaitlyn's bedside. While it sounded like him and Kaitlyn had their problems and while it is certainly possible that he stayed at the hospital all night to throw off investigators, it is my opinion that he was not directly involved in her shooting and that he didnt know it was going to happen in advance, but it is my opinion he knows more than he is telling and probably knows who did it but doesnt want to talk because it was his own friends that probably killed Kaitlyn in my opinion.

In my opinion Kaitlyn was probably killed either because she had said she was going to blow the cover off the insurance scam business or the boyfriend's friends were afraid that she was going to blow the top off so they decided to kill her to ensure her silence. The boyfriend talking to his friends in Vietnamese in front of Kaitlyn tells me that they were talking about stuff they didnt want her to know, since if it didnt matter if she knew or not they would probably have spoke in English, unless h is friends didnt speak English well, than I guess it wouldnt be so weird than I guess.

Back in 1989 also, bi-racial relationships were largely taboo, they are somewhat better accepted now although depending on where you are they are still taboo, this certainly created tension and I could be wrong, but I got the impression Kaitlyn's family didnt particularly like the fact that she was dating a guy that wasnt white, but maybe that is just me drawing conclusions. I mean they were not mean to the boyfriend ever and never said anything against him, but I just kind of got that vibe that they would have perferred she not date him.

However the bi-racial thing probably created tensions in Kaitlyn and her boyfriend's relationship, the boyfriend said while they had their disagreements and their arguments that they were not close to breaking up or anything, while Kaitlyn's family has said Kaitlyn was close to breaking up with her boyfriend and moving out of the apartment, so clearly someone is lying there. I do feel the police kind of bungled this investigation as well.

The book is very well written. I read it about five years ago, and I am in full belief that Lois Duncan was correct: Kaitlyn knew too much and was assassinated as a result of it.

I really hope her family gets the answers they seek.

I agree, they killed her because they knew or thought she was going to come clean regarding there insurance scams.

xxxxmattxxxx69 · 07-01-2011, 05:13 PM

the re-enactments on the fraud scams always cracked me up but on the serious side it was a sad case. It looked like the work of a hitman

A ton of new information has come to light since that book was written. (And I agree that "Who Killed My Daughter?" is fabulous and heartbreaking. Maybe the best true crime book I've ever read). You can visit the Arquettte Family's website here: http://kaitarquette.arquettes.com/ I don't think Kait was killed because of the insurance scams. I think her boyfriend and his friends were involved in much more than that, like drug trafficking. I think Kait saw someone important buying drugs and that is why she was killed. I also think the cops know more than they are telling and that some of them may have even been involved in the murder.

One thing that I have wondered about is : since these guys were involved in scams and crimes did they ever get busted or go to jail at some point in time ?

Didnt Kaitlyn`s parents say they liked him in the segment ? Her parents would have had misgivings over his age more than his race I believe ....

You raise an interesting point regarding tensions in their relationship , she wanted to break up with him not long before she was shot - I wonder if this was the catalyst to events that followed .........

and what is very revealing is the phone calls made from her apartment as she lay in hospital - connection or what ?

Her father said after the fact that he had misgivings about Dung (the boyfriend), but didn't want to be looked at as racist. I agree that it was more about his age and probably his shady acquaintances than his race.

About them being busted, I believe at least some of them were caught and deported. I can't remember for sure. Kait's mother is very open and will answer any questions you have on the message board portion of their website.

Interesting info about their website , after checking out their website I was totally shocked ! Some of the details and revelations of events surrounding Kait`s shooting certainly leave a lot to be desired thats before you even consider allegations against some APD ooficers .......

DanCart · 06-27-2013, 08:35 PM

The information on the Arquette`s website is quite unsettling, the way the cops behaved at the scene , the subsequent misconduct issues surrounding them , the boyfriend , the way they quickly dismissed the case as a drive by , the alleged heroin that went through the store Kaitlyn worked ........

Although the boyfriend has come up a lot in this case , Kaitlyn`s friend Susan I believe should have been checked out thoroughly based on her behavior after the events surrounding Kaitlyn . The way she changed her stories is quite questionable .......... I personally think she should be a higher priority suspect than Kailyn`s boyfriend ....

Latka Gravas · 12-06-2020, 09:56 PM

After watching the KA segment, I've got several theories as to why she may have been killed:

1) The most evident was that the activities she/her boyfriend were involved in somehow led to someone wanting to "shut her up" - just as her mother believed.

2) A drive-by shooting, that was completely random - possibly a gang initiation?!

3) KA and her live-in boyfriend were having problems; per the segment, she told her mother she was going to break up with him. I wonder if her death was connected to this.
