On the morning of March 15, 2013, 67-year-old Thomas Tefft was shot and killed during a home invasion at his Harcourt Springs Place residence in Indianapolis. Tefft, a White male who had moved to Indianapolis from New York in 1996 with his wife, was having coffee with her when an intruder — described as a Black male in his 20s wearing a ski mask — entered through a back patio door. Tefft’s wife escaped to a bathroom and called 911; she heard a gunshot while on the phone. The assailant fled in the couple’s black 2009 Hyundai Sonata, which was recovered abandoned in an alley a few days later.

Tefft’s family issued a public plea for information, describing him as a loving husband, father, and grandfather. Despite the vehicle’s recovery and an active investigation, no arrests have been announced and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department lists the case as an unsolved homicide. Does anyone have information about that morning, the vehicle, or the suspect’s movements that could help bring answers to the family?
