On the morning of March 19, 2002, 43-year-old Gary McCracken was found dead from a gunshot wound in an alley in the 1300 block of College Street in South Bend, Indiana. McCracken, who worked for Affordable Auto and was repossessing a vehicle at the time, was discovered by a resident; emergency crews pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators say McCracken was confronted while working and was forced to his knees before being shot in the head in what has been described as an execution-style killing. Nothing was taken from him, and robbery does not appear to have been the motive. The homicide remains unsolved; the case was later transferred to the cold case unit, witnesses have been re-interviewed, and detectives have stayed in touch with McCracken’s family, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced.

Did anyone in South Bend in March 2002 see activity near the 1300 block of College Street or know anything about repossessions in that neighborhood that could help this investigation?
