April Tinsley's Abduction

On April Fool's Day of 1988, just two days before Easter Sunday, the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana was the site of one of the most frightening and unsettling murders in American history. On Friday, April 1st of 1988, eight-year-old April Tinsley arrived home from school and asked her mother if she could go over to play at a friend's house. When April walked out of the door, she told her friend that she'd return soon, possibly even with the second friend so she could join in the fun with them. But April was never seen again. Her cold, lifeless body was discovered at the bottom of the ditch along the rural DeKalb County Road
