TIMELINE OF MAJOR EVENTS
September 28, 2000
Around 7:30 PM, Kimberly, 36, Bradley, 7, and Jill, 5, are shot dead inside the garage of their home in Georgetown, Indiana. The family was returning home from Bradley's swim practice.
Indiana State Police were called to the home around 9:20 p.m. David Camm, a former Indiana State Trooper, called in the emergency, saying someone had killed his wife and children, Brad and Jill. Camm said he had just returned from his church's gym after playing basketball.
October 1st, 2000
David Camm was arrested for their murders. Just before the arrest, Camm made a public plea for his family's killer to come forward.
October 4, 2000
Kim, Bradley, and Jill are laid to rest.
January 14, 2002
Opening arguments start in David Camm's murder trial.
March 17, 2002
David Camm is found guilty of murder.
April 11, 2002
Camm sentenced to 195 years in prison.
August 10, 2004
While Camm was serving time in the protective custody unit of the Indiana State Prison, the Court of Appeals overturned the jury's verdict citing improper testimony at trial. That testimony concerned past affairs, sexual advances and flirtations between Camm and 12 women. The Floyd County prosecutor at the time of the first trial, Stan Faith, says he used the testimony to show motive.
November 2004
Newly elected Floyd County prosecutor Keith Henderson announced he would re-file charges against Camm. The trial was moved to Warrick County because of the pre-trial publicity and a start date of August 8th was set.
David Camm is put on home incarceration after posting $20,000 bond.
February 27, 2005
WAVE News broke the news that there was a new suspect in the murder case. Charles Darnell Boney's DNA was found on a sweatshirt in the garage. The sweatshirt also had Boney's nickname, "Backbone," written on the collar.
Boney told WAVE News that he did not kill the Camm family and did not know David Camm. Subsequently, Boney was questioned for 22 hours by the Floyd County Prosecutor's office.
March 5, 2005
Charles Boney was arrested and charged with the deaths of Kimberly, Jill, and Bradley Camm.
March 9th, 2005
Prosecution drops murder charges against Camm, but re-files new charges against both and announces Camm and Boney will be tried together. Both men are charged with three counts of murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder.
May 28th, 2005
A ruling from the Indiana Supreme Court is a win for Camm attorneys, who argued to have his retrial moved again to Warrick County, Indiana. The ruling left the door open for Boney's trial to remain in Floyd County, where it is in fact where it will take place; both are scheduled to begin January 9, 2006.
September 14, 2005
Investigators begin several days of searching a Floyd County subdivision lake to find the alleged weapon used in the Camm Family murders. The lake is approximately 12 miles from the Camm Georgetown home. No weapon was found.
