Nineteen-year-old Caitlin Wopinek was found shot in the neck and dead in her Woodland Crossing Apartments unit just outside Michigan City, Indiana, on the morning of March 14, 2010. The previous night she had finished a shift as a server at Applebee’s and had been dropped off around 11 p.m. by a friend, Trent Hartnett; her boyfriend, 22-year-old Jeffery Maldonado, was out with friends that night.

A 911 call placed by Maldonado around 9 a.m. reported Caitlin had been shot. La Porte County detectives questioned Maldonado and held him briefly but released him when they said they lacked sufficient evidence. After weeks of testing and further investigation led by Detective Brian Piergalski, Sergeant Patrick Cicero, and Captain John Boyd, investigators obtained probable cause and an arrest warrant for Maldonado on a charge of voluntary manslaughter.

Maldonado was arrested without incident on June 2, 2010, at a Chicago residence and held on a $100,000 bond as authorities arranged his return to Indiana. Few public details have been released about what investigators believe occurred inside the apartment that morning. Did anyone in the area see Caitlin or her vehicle the night of March 13–14, 2010, or have information about her movements that could help the investigation?
