Many customers were present at the spot at the time of the incident. WTOP reports that the couple's visas expired about a month before the murder, and investigators believe that Bhadres Kumar's wife Palak Patel wanted to return to India, but her husband opposed it.

FBI had earlier announced the reward

Even before this, the FBI had announced a list and reward for help in the arrest of Bhadresh. The list was released in 2017 with a $100,000 reward for information, but he remains at large. In April 2015, 24-year-old Patel and his 21-year-old wife Palak were working night shifts at a Dunkin' Donuts store. CCTV footage from the night of the crime showed Bhadresh and Palak walking together towards the store's kitchen before disappearing behind the rack.
