Help Identifying Case

[Oddbins]

Hello, all. I’m new here and not sure if this is the appropriate place to post, but I’m curious if there is a thread or section for identifying cases when you can’t remember the names or locations -only some general details of the crime? I’m trying to find any updates to a case I saw probably a decade ago on Dateline Mystery. The details I recall: the story was set in a small town in (I think) the Midwest. A father took his adolescent son to a birthday party. His wife was supposed to join them later at the party, but she was murdered in their home. The husband was later arrested for the crime but claimed innocence. Witnesses testified to seeing a strange car speeding away from the house at the time of the murder, and the husband was acquitted. After the murder the husband quickly remarried. His son began to doubt his father’s innocence. There was also something to do with the husband having an injury to his hand that he claimed was the result of repairing a broken window days earlier, but the son and friend remembering hearing glass shattering shortly before the murder. Can anyone please tell me the names of the murder victim and her husband?

There is a thread for this, but of course I don't remember the title right now!

Was this in Indiana? I remember reading a thread with a similar case.

I'll keep thinking, someone will come up with it!
