Christine R. Craig, 40, was shot and killed on November 27, 2009, on what had been planned as her wedding day. She had arranged to meet her fiancé, 57-year-old Steven R. Farrell, on a rural gravel road in Benton County near the Tippecanoe County line.

The meeting turned violent when Farrell produced a handgun and shot Christine; her teenage daughter, who had been with Farrell earlier and then moved to her mother’s vehicle during the confrontation, witnessed the shooting. Farrell fled the scene, abandoned his pickup at Indianapolis International Airport, and traveled by taxi and bus to Nevada before being located days later in Mesquite, reportedly intoxicated and contemplating suicide. He was taken into custody and returned to Indiana. At trial in late 2010 the jury found Farrell guilty of murder; he also pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon and received an aggregate prison term of 85 years.

Was anyone in the area that day able to corroborate the movements of either vehicle on the county road?
