Fox 2 Unsolved: Alameda man killed amid divorce
An Alameda man going through a divorce, was murdered more than 10 years ago. The crime remains unsolved, but there was more than one reason for people to be upset with the victim, including molestation charges against him.
ALAMEDA, Calif. - It was just after midnight in December 2009. Darin Vinall was in his townhouse on Parfait Lane on Alameda’s Bay Farm Island.
Darin, at the end of his marriage of 14 years, had been leaving a voice mail for his divorce attorney.
"He was walking down the stairs, he was talking about the case, then he suddenly said, ‘Oh my kitchen window’s on the floor,' " said his brother Jeff Vinall.
