Chase Aliano was 21 when he was found dead in a secluded cabin in Greene County, Indiana, after his family reported him missing when his mother had not heard from him since January 31, 2017. An autopsy found he had been shot six or seven times, including a fatal wound to the head; toxicology showed hydrocodone, amphetamine, and a high level of methamphetamine in his system.

Investigators focused on William Levi Abel, 24, who lived on a family farm where the cabin was located. Abel initially gave multiple, conflicting accounts — saying at one point Chase had left with an unknown woman and taken Abel’s handgun, and later claiming Chase had pointed a gun at him and he shot in self-defense. Forensic findings did not support a face-to-face shootout: most wounds entered Chase’s right side at a downward angle. Abel later admitted he must have shot Chase while he lay on the ground, and authorities recovered physical evidence tying Chase to areas near the cabin.

Abel was arrested, tried, and the jury returned a guilty verdict for murder after 25 minutes; he was also convicted of obstruction of justice and theft of a firearm and received an aggregate sentence of eighty years. Did anyone who knew Chase or who was in that part of Greene County in early 2017 see or hear anything that could add detail to the timeline?
