Amanda was shot in the head in her Indianapolis home (^) sometime before 8:30 in the morning on Tuesday, 11/10/15. Her 1-year-old son was in the home, but he was unharmed.
Her husband, Davey Blackburn, reportedly discovered her on the floor when he returned home from the gym at 8:30 a.m. that morning (it has not been released as to what time he left for the gym). The home was released to Davey Blackburn soon after Amanda was put on life support in the hospital so her organs could be donated. CSI techs went back to the home again yesterday.
Indianapolis Police said yesterday that Davey Blackburn is not suspected of killing his wife. They have surveillance of him coming and going from the gym that morning. They also have home surveillance gathered from neighbors of the Blackburns. There was a home burglary 3 hours earlier in the same neighborhood, so police are also investigating to determine if there's a link.
Well, all that may be true. But, unless Police have video of someone coming and going from the Blackburn house (or their DNA) and they've ruled that person out as knowing the husband or anyone associated with the Blackburns -- and unless police somehow established the exact time of the shooting exceedingly quickly -- I think pretty much everybody is still a suspect outside the media lights.
Anyway, it's very unusual for burglars to shoot women in the head. But, maybe Amanda shot first? It's not clear if she was armed or not, only that somehow police know that she was trying to "protect her baby" when she was shot.
Also, it's been reported that in his 911 call, Davey Blackburn stated that his wife had been "assaulted" (not "shot"). So, maybe she fought back against the perpetrator before she was executed?
A lot of unanswered questions.
