Does anyone know if this show is still running. I watched a few episodes and oddly enough I knew of one of the cases. I always wondered what happened to this show. I wish they would try to follow up on a cold case that involved the death of my brother. Both detectives that were supposedly following my brothers murder are now retired...and no one seems to know anything now. :(
shareThe show was cancelled during taping of the 3rd season. I've heard a couple of reasons why. One is because former Public Safety Director Frank Straub did not agree with IMPD doing the show. Straub is gone now, thankfully, so I would like to see the show come back.
The other reason I heard has to do with Carlton Hart from the My Brother's Keeper episode. Hart's conviction from that episode was overturned, and he then sued IMPD, Detective Mannina and a Discovery Communications. Hart has been arrested in the past year for murder - shocking!!!
What's your brother's name? You can always contact the IMPD cold case unit and inquire about his case.
I love this show and hope they bring it back.
Did Carlton Hart win his lawsuit? I hope not. I searched on the internet and couldn't find anything on his lawsuit or his new murder trial.
I just found this info on Carlton Hart:
INDIANAPOLIS (March 28, 2014) – A man once cleared in one murder case has now been convicted in another.
A jury found Carlton Hart guilty Thursday for his role in the Nov. 15, 2012, murder of Thomas Keys and attempted murder of Marvin Finney II. Hart was convicted of murder, criminal confinement and conspiracy to commit criminal confinement. Sentencing is scheduled for April 4.
Keys—also known as “DJ Keys”—was found dead at a music studio Hart owned near East 46th Street and North Keystone Avenue. Finney was shot in both wrists but survived. Investigators said the men had been lured to the music studio with offers of a music project.
Instead, they were tied up, beaten and shot, court documents said. Finney told police he played dead until his attackers left, and then managed to escape. He ran to a nearby CVS store to get help.
Three other people have been convicted in connection with the shooting:
Nathaniel Armstrong was convicted by a jury in October 2013 of murder, kidnapping (A Felony), and attempt murder (IV). Prosecutors filed a criminal gang sentence enhancement which added 65 years to his sentence. He was sentenced to a total of 175 years.
James McDuffy was convicted by a jury in October 2013 of murder, attempt murder (A Felony), kidnapping (A Felony), robbery (A Felony), criminal confinement (B Felony), conspiracy to commit kidnapping (A Felony), and conspiracy to commit criminal confinement (B Felony). Prosecutors requested a habitual offender sentence enhancement, and he was sentenced to a total of 185 years.
Darin Jackson was convicted by a jury in February 2014 of conspiracy to commit criminal confinement (B Felony). He was sentenced to 18 years.
Two additional suspects, Dominique Hamler and Dontee Robinson, are scheduled to go on trial on May 12.
In October 2010, murder charges against Hart were dropped in a separate 2008 case. The investigation was profiled on The Shift, a cable television reality show that followed Indianapolis Metropolitan police detectives. Hart spent about two years in jail awaiting trial before charges were dismissed. He later filed a lawsuit accusing the show’s producers and police of defamation.
