After 51 years, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office has reopened a Brownstown cold case. Lt. Adam Nicholson has taken the lead in finding answers about the mysterious cabin fire that happened on December 18, 1971.
“A family member reached out to me and expressed interest in having the case reopened with the hope that we can provide some answers to decades-old questions,” Sheriff Rick Meyer said. “I took this information to Lt. Nicholson, and gave him the go-ahead to pursue a renewed investigation.”
Two teenagers, Stanley R. Robison, 17, and Jerry Autry, 19, were believed to have perished in the fire, according to the initial police reports. A third teen was also camping with Robison and Autry, Michael W. Sewell, 16, but the police reports only indicate that the remains of the two teenagers were found.
Nicholson sought out help from Dr. Krista Latham, a professor of Biology and Anthropology at the University of Indianapolis. Together, they are working to further the investigation into the possibility of more than two people dying in the fire.
