From Franklin, Ind.: A grand jury indictment has been returned against a 35-year-old man in connection with a double murder from 2006. The victims, a 10-year-old boy and his 26-year-old stepmother, were found stabbed to death. Authorities believe the killings may have occurred during a burglary attempt. The suspect, who would have been a teenager at the time, has been identified after nearly two decades of investigation.
The case had gone unsolved for years, with police using various methods to try to identify the killer. Further details about the investigation and evidence are available.
A reward and extensive police efforts had previously yielded no suspect, but the indictment marks a significant development in the case.
