In April 1979 a family traveling on Interstate 465 became victims of a planned attack that ended with four homicides near White Lick Creek in Morgan County, Indiana. Terry Chasteen and her three children, Misty, Mark, and young Steven Chasteen, were killed after their car was disabled by a man posing as a Good Samaritan. That man, identified as Steven Judy, drove them to a remote spot where Terry Chasteen was assaulted and strangled and the three children were found drowned in shallow water.

Witnesses reported a distinctive truck in the area and physical evidence at the scene linked Judy to the crime. Judy confessed after his arrest, unsuccessfully pleaded insanity at trial, and was convicted of the murders. During sentencing he sought and received the death penalty and made threats indicating no remorse.

If anyone knew the Chasteen family, saw a distinctive truck near White Lick Creek in April 1979, or has other information about that night, please share what is known.
