Crime: Not Found and Still Open

CARRIED OPEN, WITH SETTLING SOURCES · AS OF NOVEMBER 2026

The depth standard is the case dug whole or the negative printed with its search; this section's negatives and gaps are these. THE BANK-ROBBERY TEST — run at the discipline of the sister builds: no bank robbery seated inside the designated place appears in any source reached. For most of the ground's history there was no bank in it to rob — the first bank counters arrived with the suburban corridor the Businesses leg dates — and the gang-era and modern federal records swept for this build seat no robbery here. The nineteenth century's blank page is printed as blank; the Dillinger test does not arise on ground the gang's record never touches. Settler for any correction: the Tribune archive and the federal record of the Northern District of Indiana. THE SERIAL TEST — no serial case is home-grown on this ground, raised here, or seated here in the record reached; the corridor tests of the sister builds pass this ground by, and the negative prints at pointer size because a pointer is its true size. THE EXECUTIONS TEST — no execution, and no capital prosecution of any era, arises from a crime seated in the two townships in any record reached; the county's own execution history belongs to the county seat's build, and this ground contributes no name to it.

GAP-CRIME-1 — the Heritage Square case's disposition. No arrest or charge in the June 20, 2021 killing of Victor Kyle Jr. appears in the press or official record reached as of November 2026. Settler: the St. Joseph County Prosecutor's office (this section's post-2022 holder, the county police detective bureau) and the Tribune archive. GAP-CRIME-2 — the Willis disposition. Phillip Willis was charged on the affidavit of June 8, 2022; the case's outcome — plea, trial, or dismissal — was not reached. Settler: the St. Joseph Superior Court's record in the cause (searchable through Indiana's MyCase portal). GAP-CRIME-3 — the sheriff's line, 1832–1966 and 1971–1994. Anchored at Cottrell and McCarty (1831), Sokol (elected 1966) and Speybroeck (1995–1998); the intervening holders are not carried in the sources reached. Settlers: the county's official officer rosters; John B. Stoll, An Account of St. Joseph County from Its Organization (1923); the clerk's canvasses. GAP-CRIME-4 — the constables and justices of Clay and Harris townships, by name, and the present state of the townships' constable seats. Neither county history prints a township officer roll, and no current holder was verified. Settlers: the county clerk's canvasses and election records; the township trustees' records; Germaine Goff, The History of Harris Township (1980), for the Harris roll. GAP-CRIME-5 — the dry-years township record. The printed negative rests on the county histories and the press record consulted; a raid seated in the townships would stand in the Tribune's archive, 1920–1933, which has not been read for the two townships by name. Settler: that archive. GAP-CRIME-6 — the 2026 Fir Road case's charging decision, pending at the last report reached. Settler: the prosecutor's filings in the St. Joseph Superior Court.

The leg's evidence is documentary entire.
