In June of 1991, Kelly Jo McCrary was a young, married, mother of two children- an infant and a toddler.

She was married to James, and together they lived in Anderson, Indiana. Anderson is a suburban area, sitting just to the Northeast of Indianapolis. Lately, James and Kelly had begun to have some serious marital issues. They were fighting and arguing, quite a bit and Kelly was stressed out.

I can imagine it was a struggle, being just 22 years old, married, having two young children to raise, and working a full-time job trying to get by.

In the very early morning hours of June 8, 1991, Kelly left her house for her job at C.I.C Enterprises. She worked as a customer relations supervisor and left her house that night around 1:10 a.m., according to her husband James.

Kelly drove off in her black 1981 Buick Century, and James proceeded to go to bed.
