The Amy Weidner case centered on the brutal November 1989 murder of a 16-year-old high school student in her Indianapolis home, a crime that remained unsolved for 23 years. The victim, Amy Weidner, was home sick with her young daughter when Rodney Denk, a family friend and former classmate of her brother, broke in to burglarize the house; upon being confronted, Denk beat, sexually assaulted, and strangled her to death. The investigation eventually led to his conviction when cold case Detective Sgt. William Carter reopened the case in 2011 and successfully matched a bloody palm print preserved from the crime scene wall to a print taken from Denk during a separate 1997 arrest, leading to his guilty plea and a 65-year prison sentence in June 2013.
