On February 12, 1997, 21-year-old Jennifer Stockrahm was found dead in Harmony, Indiana. Her body was discovered inside her maroon 1988 Ford Escort, which had been set on fire in an alley near her mother’s home. Investigators determined she had been shot before the vehicle was burned, and the fire was set to conceal the killing.

Attention early in the inquiry turned to her boyfriend, Robert Dean Davis. Two days after the body was found he was arrested on 19 felony counts tied to a stolen-car chop shop operating from a nearby trailer; police records also note prior domestic battery against Jennifer and that she had reported his illegal activity. Despite those links and the violent history, Davis was never charged in Jennifer’s murder. He was later convicted on the vehicle-related charges and imprisoned.

The Indiana State Police have kept the case open and it remains unsolved. Are there readers who knew Jennifer, lived in Harmony in 1997, or have information that could help bring answers?
