In the evening of October 21, 2005, Terry and Darleen Anderson, 59 and 57, were brutally beaten to death at their rural LaGrange County home. Their 20-year-old daughter, Amanda, found Darleen the following morning. She was on her couch, with a bowl of popcorn next to her. Police later found Terry in his pole-barn. Both suffered blunt force trauma. Several items were stolen during the crime, including guns and coins.
Since 2011, investigators have maintained they believe they know who committed the crimes. He is in prison for another murder, however no charges have ever been filed. Family members and friends are critical of that theory.
