Does anyone remember a case about a doctor is murdered in his bedroom? Apparently they thought it was one of his patents who was HIV positive or had AIDS.

The case you're describing doesn't specifically sound familiar to me; however, a couple of the facts you mentioned sound similar to the Robert Dirscherl case. Robert was murdered in his bedroom, and the police classified it as suicide despite the fact that there was no evidence to support that. Years later, someone wrote to the family claiming to have killed Robert because he found him in his bedroom. The letter writer claimed to be sending the letter because he was dying of AIDS and needed to confess before dying. However, Robert was not a doctor and so the person dying of AIDS would not have been a patient of his.

I wonder why he was in Robert's room in the first place to begin with.

I don't know why, but this makes me think of this case: http://unsolvedmysteries.wikia.com/wiki/John_Hawkins

I was watching a video on Youtube that goes a little deeper into the case.

Thanks for posting the link, Nickolas. Very interesting. The person they discuss seems like a very strong suspect.
