On November 10, 2015, 28-year-old Amanda Blackburn was at home with her 15-month-old son when three men carrying out a string of burglaries entered her Indianapolis home through an unlocked front door. Her husband, Davey, had just left for the gym. When he returned, he found Amanda gravely wounded on the living room floor and called 911. She was rushed to the hospital, but died the following day. Her unborn daughter, Evie Grace, could not be saved.
At first, the circumstances made Davey look suspicious to people following the case. He had been away when the shooting happened, and his calm-sounding 911 call and behavior afterward were heavily scrutinized. But investigators soon discovered that Amanda's home was one of several properties targeted that morning. Surveillance footage led them to a stolen Chrysler Sebring, and inside the vehicle police found stolen property, an ATM receipt connected to Amanda's debit card and a pink sweater used by one of the suspects to conceal his face at an ATM. DNA from the sweater led investigators to Jalen Watson, and phone records connected him to Diano Gordon and Larry Jo Taylor Jr.
Watson and Gordon eventually pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against Taylor. After two mistrials, Taylor waived his right to a jury trial. In September 2022, a judge found him guilty of Amanda's murder and multiple other charges and sentenced him to 86 years in prison. What initially looked like a suspicious mystery turned out to be something far more random and terrifying: three burglars saw Davey leave, noticed the unlocked door and decided to enter.
