In April 1979, 21-year-old Terry Chasteen and her three small children were murdered after pulling over on the side of a highway in Morgan County, Indiana. Terry had been driving with her children — five-year-old Misty Zollers, four-year-old Stephen Chasteen, and two-year-old Mark Chasteen — when a man, Steven T. Judy, motioned for them to stop and offered help. After she stopped, Judy disabled the vehicle and persuaded Terry to accept a ride with him and the children; what began as an offer of assistance became a fatal attack.

Hunters later found Terry Chasteen’s body in White Lick Creek near Mooresville; a police search of the area recovered the bodies of the three children. Investigators determined Terry had been raped and strangled, and the children, including two-year-old Mark Chasteen, had drowned after being thrown into the creek. Steven T. Judy was arrested, confessed during the trial while mounting an insanity defense, was convicted on four counts of murder, and received a death sentence in February 1980.

Did anyone in the Mooresville or Morgan County area recognize the vehicle or remember seeing a man offering roadside help that day?
