Homicide without a body. It was going to be tough, if not impossible, to get a conviction. Karen Jo Smith, a 35-year-old Indianapolis woman, had gone missing in the middle of a chilly December night, two days after Christmas in 2000. She was last seen asleep in her recliner; discovered missing by her children after asking her ex-husband Steven Halcomb to leave.

This is the final installment, for now, on Indiana townships.

Remember, townships must have money to meet very uncertain expenses.
