Late on April 22, 2014, 55-year-old Kevin Thomas Coughlin drove his gray Pontiac Vibe to a Chase Bank in Marion County, Indiana to withdraw $300 for a companion. Surveillance shows the companion left to make a purchase and Coughlin’s vehicle later seen leaving the bank at 10:43 p.m.; when the companion returned about thirty minutes later, both Coughlin and his car were gone.

Around 12:30 a.m. on April 23, residents near an alley off West 34th Street in Indianapolis heard five gunshots. Officers found a man later identified as Kevin Coughlin bound at the wrists and ankles, with a cloth in his mouth and six gunshot wounds. Investigators initially determined the motive to be robbery. A sketch released by police helped identify the victim.

The investigation led to 22-year-old Anthony Spearman, who was found eight days after the murder driving Coughlin’s Pontiac Vibe. Phone data placed the device near the bank, the alley, and Coughlin’s ransacked home on the day of the murder; the phone also contained photos of a nine-millimeter Smith & Wesson and searches about selling cars without a title and news of the killing. Spearman was arrested May 1, 2014, and charged with murder, felony murder, robbery, and criminal confinement. Kevin Coughlin was buried May 2, 2014, in St. Patrick Countryside Cemetery in McHenry, Illinois.

Did anyone in the Indianapolis area see Coughlin’s Pontiac Vibe or have information about his movements late on April 22, 2014?
