The Camm Family Murders: A Conversation with Investigator Gary Dunn on the Probable Cause Affidavit for the Arrest of David Camm

On September 28, 2000, former Indiana State trooper David Camm returned to his Floyd County, Indiana home to find his wife and children murdered. After three trials and thirteen years in prison, he was acquitted. Camm's case remains known as one of the most egregious wrongful convictions in Indiana's recent history. So what did happen to the Camm family? Why did investigators hone in on Camm despite the fact a violent felon's DNA was found at the murder scene? What was the real story of all the blood evidence used to arrest and convict Camm?

Retired Federal Bureau of Investigation agent Gary Dunn was kind enough to share with us a copy of the probable cause affidavit in Camm's case. Dunn investigated Camm's case for the defense, and chronicled his experience in the book Their Bloody Lies and Persecution of David Camm: Part One. It's a great book that delves deeply into the crime. He is working on part two.

In this episode, we will go through the entire PCA with Gary, and he will explain the weaknesses and fabrications in the case.

You Never Can Forget: The Gang

You Never Can Forget: The Gang

There's a haunting story in the Burger Chef case, one that you've likely heard before. A guy named David Cathcart rolled up to a bar in Greenwood, Indiana on November 18, 1978, the night after the employees vanished, before anyone knew the kids were dead. He shot off his mouth about the disappearances of the four Burger Chef employees, telling his fellow patrons that they'd be released unharmed. Later, after being interrogated by police, he revealed that he was part of a robbery gang that had been casing the Speedway Burger Chef.In the years since, the robbery gang theory has become one of the most prominent theories in the entire case. And it's true that Timothy Piccione, Gregg Steinke, and John Defibaugh perpetrated a number of armed robberies around Indianapolis in the seventies. A few even targeted Burger Chef restaurants.But the Murder Sheet has uncovered new court documents that raise questions about the story involving Cathcart. In this episode, we'll being laying out the robbery gang theory, but also pointing out where we feel it falls short.Follow the Murder Sheet on social media:FacebookTwitterInstagramAnd send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC .See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
