On the morning of September 5, 1988, a house on Oak Grove Road in Washington, Indiana, was reported ablaze around 3:30 a.m. Firefighters found 18-year-old Rebecca Harvey dead in an upstairs bedroom; investigators determined an accelerant believed to be gasoline had been used under the bed and that Rebecca had been doused with it. The official cause of death was attributed to the fire.

Rebecca’s boyfriend of a few weeks, 22-year-old Steven Hendricks, was missing from the scene. His wallet, keys, boots, clothing and his car were left behind, and he never returned to his job at Craney’s Body Shop to pick up his final paycheck or tools valued at $2,000. Early questioning included Rebecca’s ex-boyfriend, who was cleared by an alibi. Over the years police have followed leads, including a 2019 tip that prompted a search of a local cemetery.

Steven is classified as an endangered missing person and investigators say foul play is suspected in his disappearance the same night Rebecca was killed. Does anyone who lived in Washington then or knew Steven or Rebecca have information that could help fill in what happened that night?
