WE CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR:
  • THE ADMISSION OF EVIDENCE
  • JUSTICE FOR KIM, BRAD & JILL
  • FREEDOM FOR DAVID CAMM
  • THE TRUTH...THE SIMPLE TRUTH

On September 28, 2000, Kimberly, Bradley, and Jill Camm were shot to death in the Camm family garage, located in Georgetown, Indiana, just a few miles from Louisville, Kentucky. The Indiana State Police (ISP) responded to the scene, as did the local prosecutor, Stanley Faith, who called for the assistance of a blood stain and crime scene re-constructionist.

Three days after the crimes occurred, the husband of Kim and the father of Jill and Brad, David Camm, was arrested. In early 2002 David Camm was convicted of their murders and sentenced to 195 years in the Indiana Department of Corrections. Case solved. Case closed.

In August, 2004, the Indiana Court of Appeals overturned Camm's conviction. Camm got a new trial.

In November, 2004, Prosecutor Keith Henderson recharged Camm after having a "Fresh Eyes" team re-investigate the crime. Camm was re-charged.

In March, 2005, another man, Charles Darnell Boney, was charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Camm was re-charged with Boney.

In February, 2006, Boney was convicted and sentenced to 225 years in prison. Camm was convicted in March, 2006, and sentenced to life in prison without parole. Case solved. Case closed.

Those are the facts of this case. Well, at least a few facts. Most people in the metropolitan area of Louisville are convinced that David Camm is a molester and murderer. They are convinced that Charles Boney helped him in some shape, manner, or form. There are those who know many more facts that are thoroughly convinced of David Camm's innocence and continue to fight for him and his family.

Some additional facts:
  • 11 eyewitnesses were with Camm playing basketball during the time the family was murdered; they have never wavered that Camm did not leave the gym where they were playing.
  • The blood "expert" and crime scene re-constructionist had never processed a homicide scene before, had never taken an elementary course on blood stain patterns and was supposedly only present to take photographs and make notes.
  • That same "expert" identified high velocity blood stains on the garage door; they were later confirmed to be oil spots.
  • The first probable cause affidavit was inaccurate, misleading, incomplete, and based in large part upon false deductions and speculations, as well as critical information provided by the "expert."
  • Prosecutor Faith’s own investigators had no police training or experience, yet they collected and retained evidence at the crime scene and conducted interviews of witnesses. Critical evidence was lost.
  • There was never any evidence that Jill's injuries, whatever they were, had been caused by her father. In fact, after two trials, the Indiana Attorney General, in arguing against the current Camm appeal, admitted that there was no connection between him and Jill’s injuries.
  • The first prosecutor changed theories three times as to when Camm killed his wife and children.
  • The second prosecutor stuck with the third theory, but was forced to change to a fourth theory.
  • The only physical evidence that put Camm at the shooting was the opinion of some blood stain experts; other experts said the stains were contact or transfer stains and not the result of blowback from a gunshot.
  • A sweatshirt was found at the crime scene which contained the name of BACKBONE. Unknown male DNA and female DNA, mixed with the blood of Kim, was found on the sweatshirt.
  • Prosecutor Faith claimed he told the ISP to run the DNA on the sweatshirt; the ISP claimed that never happened.
  • The sweatshirt was ignored for over four years, including by the new "Fresh Eyes" investigation.
  • The "Fresh Eyes" investigation conducted but 20 interviews prior to Camm being re-charged and conducted no forensic testing on mountains of evidence.
  • The DNA on the sweatshirt was finally run, but only after the threat of a motion to compel them to do so was filed by the defense.
  • The DNA was that of Charles Boney, an 11 time convicted felon who had assaulted and robbed women at gunpoint and who had kidnapped three college coeds.
  • Boney was a shoe freak, having assaulted women for their shoes; Kim’s shoes were off and had been placed on the roof of the Bronco.
  • The unknown female DNA was that of Boney's girlfriend.
  • Prosecutor Henderson claimed in a press conference that Boney’s story about how his sweatshirt got to the scene had checked out, yet didn’t tell the public of Boney's failed polygraph and alibi witnesses (that didn't alibi him).
  • Deputy prosecutor Steve Owen said in that press conference that it didn’t make sense to him that Boney would have just gotten out of prison, brutally murdered three people and then left his sweatshirt at the scene of the crime; Boney, who had left evidence at several other crime scenes, previously said that his "escape plan" involved removing a sweatshirt so he would look different if any witnesses reported his description to the police.
  • Boney was threatened with the death penalty but then was told that he was an "opportunist" and that his "best scenario was to be a witness. He seized the opportunity to be that witness and wasn't charged with the death penalty. He was also provided information that he incorporated into his stories.
  • No part of Boney's ever-changing and inconsistent stories was ever verified by the authorities.
  • Boney claimed that he was at the crime scene and that after Camm tried to kill him, he walked into the garage, tripped over the shoes, placed them on top of the Bronco, and then leaned against the side of the car because he was "curious;" his left palm print was found at the same location on the Bronco where a right-handed shooter would have steadied himself.
  • Prosecutor Henderson charged Boney and Camm with conspiracy to commit murder even though there was no evidence of any such conspiracy; that conspiracy charge was later summarily dismissed by the Camm trial judge.
  • Three inmates/informants who had been convicted of drug dealing, escape, and murder, testified for the prosecution even though their stories didn't match the facts; they benefited from their stories; one, after having his 25 year sentence modified was allowed to be on house arrest; he fled and is now a fugitive.
  • A witness was found by the defense who testified that Boney bragged about having three murders on his conscience; he was used in Boney's trial but in Camm's trial prosecutor Henderson fought vigorously against his testimony.
  • Boney, prior to his palm print being matched at the crime scene, confessed to a former FBI Agent that it would be "obvious" that he killed the family if any of his prints were there.
  • Prosecutor Henderson, who charged Boney and Camm with conspiracy, fought hard against allowing any of Boney's stories, confessions, criminal signature, and leg and foot fetish which would have allowed the defense to mount a 6th Amendment defense as guaranteed by the Constitution.
  • The judge in Camm's second trial allowed the prosecutor to allege that Camm had molested his daughter even though he later admitted that there was "on the surface... (no)thing other than a natural father and daughter relationship between the defendant and his daughter."
  • The possible source of the murder weapon was discovered by the defense; the "Fresh Eyes" investigators ridiculed that possibility and didn't take it seriously.
  • And on, and on, and on......................

This investigation was one wherein speculation became fact and perception became reality. There will be those that don't care about any facts because they simply are tired of hearing about this case and want to move on. For those intimately connected with this case, however, that's impossible. The many victims in this case demand to be heard, and our system of justice should also demand that every piece of real evidence be shared with the public.

The Overview Section will give the reader a more basic understanding about this case. There are other sections which provide more detailed information about the victims, the accused, the investigators, and the investigations. This website will inform many, anger some, and sadden many more. This is a story about the justice system in Indiana going madly awry and but only a few people trying to stop it.
