Investigators have uncovered a fresh lead in the mysterious murder of Prabha Kumar last year that indicates someone in India may have played a role in the killing. Investigators said that there were aspects of Kumar's life that need to be explored further. They have ruled out sexual assault and robbery are motives in the murder.
