Radio personality Paul Harvey once said, "If you want to get away with murder, just go to Knox County, Indiana."

Between the years 1974 and 2004, for almost three decades, his words, although not very flattering to our local authorities, rang true.

Then, in the late 90s and early 2000s, through more advanced DNA technology, seasoned police and detectives's determination, and, in some cases, even willful confessions to the crime, our community had begun to see more positive results, and the closing of cold cases that had laid dormant for too long.

The cases profiled here are THOSE cases, some solved, some still dormant, but all of them too close to home.
