I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, as this case isn't technically a cold case, it's been 5 years and it still has not been solved. Was wondering if I could get any thoughts from anyone on this:
Tanner Barton, 19, went to a friend's house in Kokomo, Indiana. They hung out in the family basement. Tanner fell down, passed out, and died. His blood alcohol was .06 and he had no drugs in his system aside traces of marijuana. Detectives are calling it a highly suspicious case. His friends claim Tanner simply just died and they have no explanation. Others have alleged that one of his friends reportedly got ketamine from his veterinarian father and dropped it in Tanner's drink (not confirmed). The coroner never tested for ketamine despite the mother pleading for it.
Here is a great story that explains the situation in detail:
