Jeffersonville, IN native Tammy Jo Blanton was found murdered in her bathtub with over 25 stab wounds to her body in September of 2014 after her estranged boyfriend answered the door with a bloody knife on him. As police investigated, they found that in addition to the stab wounds and blunt force trauma she endured, she was also missing portions of organs, organs they found in a frying pan and on a plate in her kitchen. After five years, a mistrial, a mass juror striking due to pretrial coverage, and multiple determinations of the accused murderer to be unfit for trial, Tammy Jo Blanton’s friends and family are still seeking closure in the case, and hope to get it within the next few months.
