On the surface, this is a case that should have been solved long ago, or at least that’s what any True crime doc or episode of Forensic Files would lead us to believe. Sadly, life isn’t so made-for-TV, and the results can be unsatisfying, or in the case of Stephanie Hill, devastating.
This may seem like a “cold” case; however, investigators, as recently as last year, have stated that they are still actively working to solve this mystery.
The Tragic Death of ” A Wonderful, Sweet, Caring, Loving Person”
That’s how Stephanie Hill was described by her friends, and as someone with no enemies, no vices to speak of. Stephanie was a typical new Tech student who also worked at Outback Steakhouse. Just a nice, normal girl.
One night, after coming home to her apartment after work, someone brutally beat her, including multiple blows to the head, and possibly also strangled her. Her apartment was then set on fire, probably to destroy evidence. Stephanie had no serious previous boyfriends and had no enemies that her friends knew about.
Why Was The Murder of Stephanie Hill Not Solved?
Indiana Village apartments, especially back in the early 2000s, are mostly populated with Tech students- meaning that neighbors likely know each other at least in passing, and probably “look out” for each other. This crime happened on Memorial Day at 12:50 a.m. in 2000. Granted, it was a Monday, but a holiday nonetheless- was no one awake and around to have seen something that would help break open this case?…
