Today's story is a fan favorite that was previously published as Episode 311.
On a morning in 2002, a man in Indianapolis, Indiana woke up in a cold sweat. His hands shook as he tried to block out the images he’d seen in his sleep, but he knew these images would not just go away – they would keep haunting him until he did something about it. He got out of bed and walked to his phone. He dialed 9-1-1 and said he needed to talk to a detective, because he was having dreams that showed him everything that had happened during a horrific murder all the way back in 1989. The dreams this man claimed to have would help reopen an unsolved murder case that had shocked Indianapolis thirteen years earlier. But these dreams would not answer the questions police had been wrestling with for years, and it would take them another decade to finally track down the killer.

Today's episode is a fan favorite. The audio and the story has been remastered for today's episode. [suspenseful music] On a morning in 2002, a man in Indianapolis, Indiana, woke up in a cold sweat. His hands shook as he tried to block out the images he'd just seen in his sleep, but he knew these horrific images would not just go away on their own. They would keep haunting him until he did something about it. So he got out of bed, walked to his phone, and dialed 911. And when the operator picked up, he said he needed to speak to a detective because he was having dreams that showed him details of a horrific murder that happened back in 1989. The dreams this man claimed to have would help reopen an unsolved murder case that had shocked Indianapolis 13 years earlier. However, these dreams would not answer the questions police had been wrestling with for years, and it would take them another decade to finally track down their killer. But before we get into that story, if you're a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format, then you've come to the right podcast because that's all we do, and we upload twice a week, once on Monday and once on Thursday.
