INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Lace up those dancing shoes, it’s tournament time here in the Hoosier state.
Today, Indiana Sports Corp, Mayor Joe Hogsett and the local Final Four organizing committee kicked off the March festivities with a new campaign.
The Do Your Dance campaign was launched with a NCAA video release featuring our very own WISH-TV sports director Anthony Calhoun. They are asking fans to show off their team spirit and support for everyone who made the NCAA tournament possible here in Indianapolis.
On Monday morning, former Fever player and Final Four co-chair Katie Douglas explained her team’s vision for the Big Dance.
If there was a big event in the Pikes Peak Region, there was a pretty good chance Tom Osborne had something to do with it. He either helped bring it here, keep it here or grow it to bigger and greater heights.
So when the Broadmoor Bluffs resident died in his sleep last Wednesday morning at age 65, those he worked with and rubbed shoulders with were stunned.
“Tom had a passion for sports and event management,” said Doug Martin, who worked under Osborne as the chief operating officer of the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation. “Very early on here, he realized the role the organization should play in the community. He loved sports. He loved the community. He was passionate about everything he did.”

He was a fresh, young law student working an internship alongside Marion County prosecutors, his childhood dreams of pounding tables, yelling at judges and making criminals pay echoing in his mind.
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.

Her remains were never found. They still haven t been found. But four years after Smith s disappearance, seven days of testimony, 50 witnesses, 300 pieces of evidence, Ryan Vaughn and his prosecuting partner Ellen Corcella convinced a jury to convict Halcomb. He received a 95-year prison sentence, a rare success in a murder-with-no-body case.
