The Issue

Andrew Wieman was not just a name in a case file; he was a son, a brother, and he was a friend. In 2001, at only 20 years old, his life was tragically cut short when he suffered 29 stab wounds, two of which were fatal, within the walls of his Kappa Sigma fraternity at UC Davis. Despite the severity and suspicious nature of his injuries, the Department of Justice ruled it as a suicide. This conclusion has left many unanswered questions and an overwhelming sense of injustice among those who knew and still love Andrew.

We are not asking for speculation or conjecture but simply for justice - for another look at this case with fresh eyes and unbiased minds. It is important to remember that behind every statistic there is a human story; in this instance, it's Andrew's story that needs to be heard again.

According to data from The Violence Project database on mass shootings (2019), over half (54%) of all homicides involving multiple sharp force injuries are eventually ruled as homicide after re-investigation. We believe that reopening Andrew's case could potentially lead to similar findings.

Andrew deserves more than what has been done so far; he deserves justice and closure for those left behind who continue to mourn him every day. We urge Yolo County officials to reopen the 2001 case involving our dear friend Andrew Wieman.

Please sign this petition if you believe in justice being served correctly and completely – let us give Andrew’s tragic end another look.

A podcast took a very close look at this story and covered it in great detail!!! Alexis Linkletter and Jac Vanek have devoted their lives to true crime, and they found Andrew's case very interesting, to say the least. They have questions, and you will too. Please listen. I will share the links below. 

The podcast is called The First Degree and they covered Andrew Wieman's case in depth in 2 episodes. (Episodes 296 and 297.) PLEASE listen and decide for yourself. Also, please support these incredible women, who are covering cases, solved and unsolved, all the time. I'm forever grateful for the time and effort they spent telling our friend's story. You can reach out to them directly if you have any knowledge whatsoever! Let's get justice for Andrew!!
