I-65 Killer Identification Press Conference (April 5, 2022)

Investigators publicly announced the identification of the I-65 Killer, bringing an end to one of the Midwest’s most notorious unsolved serial murder investigations

The video below contains the April 5, 2022 press conference in which investigators publicly announced the identification of the offender long known as the I-65 Killer.

For more than three decades, the murders of Vicki Heath, Peggy Gill, and Jeanne Gilbert, along with the sexual assaults in Columbus, Indiana and Rochester, Minnesota, remained among the most challenging unsolved cases in the Midwest. Through advances in forensic genealogy and cooperation between multiple law enforcement agencies, investigators were ultimately able to identify the offender as Harry Edward Greenwell.

The announcement was the culmination of a decades-long investigation involving the Indiana State Police, Elizabethtown Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and numerous local law enforcement agencies across several states.

American Crime Journal and our partner Sculch Studios attended the press conference and preserved the full event for historical and research purposes. The video remains an important part of the investigative record, documenting the moment authorities finally revealed the identity of the man responsible for crimes that had remained unsolved for more than thirty years.
