THE CASE LIBRARY
U.S. cases, plus the Bernardo–Homolka case in Canada.
2023–2025
Kevin Davis was found fatally injured at the bottom of stairs in his Indiana home. His wife Alison disputed the accusation that she murdered him. The linked investigation examines the competing explanations. A jury acquitted Alison.
2022
Harold Allen’s death was initially attributed to natural causes. Information uncovered during a later burglary investigation led authorities to examine a poisoning plot involving his wife and stepdaughter.
2020
David Fouts’s body was found beside a rural Indiana road. Detectives investigated a possible poisoning and examined evidence involving his wife Katrina.
2017–2026
Abigail “Abby” Williams, 13, and Liberty “Libby” German, 14, were killed near Delphi, Indiana, in February 2017. Richard Allen was convicted in November 2024 and sentenced to 130 years. The Indiana Court of Appeals heard his challenge on September 21, 2026, including arguments over the search warrant, custodial statements and excluded evidence.
2016
Car salesman Hufracio Arteaga was found stabbed in his office in April 2016. Cameras at an adjacent building provided a way to investigate activity around the business.
2011
Indiana University student Lauren Spierer disappeared after a night out in Bloomington in June 2011. Investigators reconstructed her movements, but no account has established what happened to her. Books, podcasts, and reporting revisit the timeline and her family’s continuing search for answers.
1992–2019
Twelve-year-old Shanda Sharer was abducted, tortured, and killed by four teenage girls in Indiana in January 1992. Melinda Loveless directed the attack amid jealousy over a relationship. The girls set Shanda on fire after hours of abuse. All four were prosecuted, and the killing drew national attention to extreme violence among teenagers.
1992
Attorney Jimmy Grund was shot in his home in August 1992. The investigation focused on his wife Susan and the circumstances inside the household before his death.
1984–1990
Diagnosed with AIDS at 13 in 1984 after receiving contaminated blood products for hemophilia, Ryan White faced exclusion from school and widespread fear of HIV. His effort to return to the classroom made him a national advocate against stigma. He died in 1990; the federal HIV care program named for him began that year.
