Robert Paulie Olson, 26, was found dead in his Terre Haute residence in May 2018. He was described as loving and funny; authorities treated his death as a homicide and quickly focused on a single suspect after that suspect reportedly confessed to his girlfriend.

The investigation identified Olson’s 21-year-old roommate, Christopher A. Wolfe, as the primary suspect. When police tried to locate Wolfe a standoff developed at an apartment complex after he barricaded himself inside. Wolfe opened fire, killing 16-year veteran Terre Haute Police Department officer Rob Pitts; Wolfe was fatally wounded in the ensuing shootout.

Wolfe’s 18-year-old girlfriend was taken into custody and later charged with obstruction of justice after telling investigators Wolfe had admitted shooting Olson. No definitive motive for Olson’s killing has been publicly released.

Did anyone in Terre Haute know Robert Olson or have information about his relationships or the circumstances in his residence before May 2018?
