Russell Elliott was 73 when he was murdered in his Bloomington, Indiana, home between the late evening of April 5, 2004, and the early morning of April 6, 2004. A father, grandfather and great-grandfather, he had lived on South Zikes Road in the house he and his late wife built and was known locally by his CB handle Handlebars.

According to investigators, one or more intruders broke into the home, robbed, beat and fatally shot Elliott, then set the house on fire in an apparent effort to hide the crime. The Indiana State Police investigated but the case stalled; no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the family later offered a $25,000 reward for information.

Does anyone who knew Russell, lived near South Zikes Road in 2004, or has information about that night have anything to share with the Indiana State Police?
