Stefanie Coulson, 37, was found dead in her east-side Indianapolis home on March 27, 2017. Friends who discovered her reported she was in her bedroom; an autopsy later showed multiple gunshot wounds to the head and neck and more than 30 stab wounds to the face, neck, and arms. Her death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators quickly focused on Karl Woodall. Court records say the dispute began after Coulson and a friend borrowed Woodall’s Honda Odyssey to go dumpster diving while he slept. Witnesses described Woodall as enraged when he learned the van had been taken and said he threatened that someone would die if it was not returned. When Coulson brought the van back, a heated argument followed; gunshots were heard soon after. A fired cartridge at the scene bore Woodall’s fingerprint and his DNA was found on a Styrofoam cup in the residence. Woodall was arrested three days later while driving the van.

The case raises many questions about how a dispute over a borrowed vehicle escalated to lethal violence and about who else, if anyone, was present that night. Does anyone have information about the events on March 27, 2017 or about Coulson’s relationships in the days before her death?
