John Cawley, a 56-year-old local attorney, was found dead on the bedroom floor of his Elkhart, Indiana home at 2002 Raintree on April 22, 2000. A friend who had been unable to reach him made the discovery. Investigators determined the death was a homicide: a single gunshot had struck Cawley after a bullet passed through his bedroom window from outside. Neighbors later recalled hearing a loud bang around midnight the previous night that is believed to have been the fatal shot.

Despite ongoing investigation by the Elkhart Police Department and publicity through Michiana’s Crime Stoppers, no suspect, motive, or arrest has been announced. The case remains unsolved, and Cawley’s family has not received answers.

If anyone has information about John Cawley, his movements the night before April 22, 2000, or heard anything in that neighborhood around midnight, please come forward.
