Davey Blackburn and Amanda Blackburn are pictured with their son Weston. Amanda has reportedly died after she was injured in a home invasion. abcnews.go.com/US/suspect-pastors-wifes-murder-caught-video-police/story?id=35177832 QUOTE: Suspect in Indiana Pastor's Wife's Murder Caught on Video, Police SayNov. 13, 2015 Police have surveillance footage of the suspect that they believe shot a pastor's wife in the head during a home invasion in Indiana, authorities said today. The Indianapolis police and various law enforcement representatives gave an update this morning on the search for Amanda Blackburn's killer. On Tuesday morning, shortly before Blackburn was killed in her home, there was a burglary that took place two doors down, said Capt. Craig Converse, who heads the police department's homicide division. Investigators have determined that the suspects went into the neighbor's house at 5:30 a.m. and Blackburn's husband, Pastor Davey Blackburn, is seen leaving his home at 6:11 a.m. to go to a gym. "They saw an opportunity to burglarize another home," a law enforcement official said. A neighbor reported hearing shots fired between 6:45 a.m. and 6:55 a.m. and surveillance footage from the neighborhood that has been collected by police shows a man leaving Blackburn's house and driving away in an SUV, police said. Authorities have yet to make the surveillance footage public. "We know the person standing outside the home is the subject that murdered Amanda," Converse said. The suspect has been described as a man with slim to medium build whose height could range from 5'4" to 5'9" and was seen wearing a two-tone hoodie sweatshirt on the day of the murder. Police are urging associates, friends and relatives of the suspect to notify investigators and help the case. "It is a heinous crime," one law enforcement officer said. "This individual does not belong walking in free society." The suspects are believed to have taken televisions and laptop computers from the first house that was burglarized that morning so police will be attempting to track those items as well. Converse said that the Blackburns' dog greeted investigators when they arrived at the home, and the couple's young son had been in the house at the time of the incident, though he was upstairs in his crib.

www.foxnews.com/us/2015/11/18/police-may-have-recovered-weapon-connected-to-amanda-blackburn-case/?intcmp=hpbt4 QUOTE: Police may have recovered weapon connected to Amanda Blackburn caseNov. 18, 2015 Authorities may have recovered a weapon used in the murder of the pregnant wife of an Indiana pastor last week, police said Tuesday. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Lt. Richard Riddle said a resident recovered the weapon in a front yard of a home just blocks away from where Amanda and Davey Blackburn live, according to FOX59. The person took the handgun to an Indianapolis fire station and it was turned over to the police and crime lab technicians are analyzing the gun. “It certainly is of interest to our detectives to see if that weapon has any connection to any crime in that area,” Riddle said. “But most importantly the Amanda Blackburn case at this point.” FOX59 reports the gun appeared to be in good condition, which might indicate that it wasn’t sitting for long in the front yard of a home in the 2900 block of West 42nd Street. Riddle said handguns are found every day in Indianapolis, but the timing and the location of the discovery caught the eye of officials working on the Amanda Blackburn case. “Our detectives are looking at the caliber of the handgun recovered, to see if it does in fact match the caliber of the weapon used in the Amanda Blackburn case,” Riddle said. If the weapon is somehow connected to the murder, investigators will look for fingerprints or other evidence on the gun or bullets inside. Investigators believed the attacker entered the family’s home on Indianapolis’ west side at around 6 a.m. last Tuesday after they noticed Davey Blackburn leave. The attacker broke into the home and shot Amanda Blackburn, while their 15-month-old son was in his crib upstairs. Blackburn, 13 weeks pregnant, died a few days later. Davey Blackburn told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that his wife had no enemies and she was a selfless person who served others and was roundly loved. "That's why this has baffled us as much as anybody. And so we are trusting the investigators," he said. Davey Blackburn was cleared as a suspect. Police released several grainy images of a possible suspect that were captured from surveillance videos from nearby houses, including one that was burglarized earlier that morning. "It was such an obscure photo. It's extremely difficult to say that anybody recognized it," Blackburn said. "Our neighborhood was so close and it was such a seemingly safe neighborhood. And so this has devastated all the neighbors." The couple moved to Indianapolis from South Carolina to found the independent Resonate Church in 2012. More than 2,000 people attended a memorial service for Amanda Blackburn on Sunday.

www.foxnews.com/us/2015/11/20/indianapolis-police-reportedly-questioning-person-interest-in-pastors-wife/?intcmp=trending QUOTE: 3 questioned in murder of Indiana pastor's wife, report saysNov. 20, 2015 Indiana police reportedly questioned three men Thursday in connection with the shooting death of an Indianapolis pastor’s pregnant wife. The three men were taken into custody Thursday morning after police served search warrants in different parts of the city, according to FOX59. An IMPD spokesperson confirmed to the Fox affiliate that two of the men were arrested on unrelated parole violations. Officers conducted DNA swabs on the three men to connect them to the crime scene. Investigators believe the attacker entered the home of Davey and Amanda Blackburn on Indianapolis’ west side at around 6 a.m. last Tuesday after they noticed Davey Blackburn leave. The attacker broke into the home and shot Amanda Blackburn while their 15-month-old son was in his crib upstairs. Blackburn, 13 weeks pregnant, died a few days later. Detectives later linked the home invasion to another robbery in the area. Sources also told FOX59 Blackburn was sexually assaulted in the attack. There haven’t been many details released in the case, but a surveillance photo of a possible suspect was released earlier this week. Davey Blackburn has also been cleared as a suspect in the murder. "We don't have anything to hide, and we trust the investigation going on, and the detectives have been extremely gracious through this whole process," Davey Blackburn, who was cleared as a suspect, told "Fox & Friends." He said family members used their faith to help them navigate through this hardship. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Lt. Richard Riddle said a resident recovered the weapon in the front yard of a home just blocks away from where Amanda and Davey Blackburn lived, according to FOX59. The person took the handgun to an Indianapolis fire station, it was turned over to the police, and crime lab technicians are analyzing the gun. "It certainly is of interest to our detectives to see if that weapon has any connection to any crime in that area," Riddle said. "But most importantly the Amanda Blackburn case at this point." There have yet to be arrests made in connection to Amanda Blackburn’s murder. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers.
