Michael Lee Blankenship Jr., 31, and 37-year-old Mitchell Greathouse were found dead inside a Mount Vernon Avenue residence in Evansville, Indiana, on the evening of October 22, 2023. Both men were victims of a double homicide that prompted an Evansville Police Department investigation.

Investigators say surveillance footage shows a man later identified as John Cameron Parker entering the home at about 7:50 p.m. and leaving roughly a minute later. A vehicle with three occupants was captured on camera; blood was later found on the vehicle’s handles. Authorities arrested several people connected to the case: Caden Harms, who confessed and later pleaded guilty to aiding in a murder; 30-year-old Richard Dee Garrett, who admitted he served as a getaway driver and was charged with obstruction, robbery, and assisting a criminal; and 27-year-old Melecia Williams, charged with burglary, theft, failure to report a dead body, and obstruction after being seen taking items from the scene.

A Vanderburgh County jury found John Cameron Parker guilty of killing both Blankenship and Greathouse in July 2024. Who knew Michael or Mitchell and might have information about what brought them to that Mount Vernon Avenue address that night?
