In Season 1, Episode 1 of The Offender True Crime Podcast, we dig deep into the disturbing murder of Amanda Blackburn, the 28-year-old wife of preacher Davey Blackburn, who was brutally killed in her Indianapolis home in 2015. This initial episode lays bare the unsettling details surrounding Amanda's tragic demise and unveils the subsequent arrest and conviction of three men charged with her murder. This episode is one of many where we begin the meticulous exploration of the grim details of Amanda Blackburn's murder, trudge forward with the pursuit of justice, and consider the shocking aftermath.
Along with our special guest, Amy Smith, from the famed criminal watchdog blog, Watchkeep, we explore the unsettling set of circumstances surrounding Davey Blackburn, who, despite the harrowing loss of his wife, swiftly capitalized on the tragedy with a controversial campaign, causing many to question his motivations. Known for his alluring charisma, Davey has been marked by his disturbing behaviors pre and post-murder of his pregnant wife.
We cut straight to the chase. The narrative swiftly gravitates to Davey Blackburn in this episode. This is a tragic murder of a beloved woman, and Davey quickly pivoted to capitalize on the tragedy with a controversial campaign, triggering alarm and suspicion among many. Throughout this episode, Davey's odd actions strike us as equally disturbing, therefore presenting the need to scrutinize Davey's peculiar obsessions, particularly his fixation with sex. In addition, we reveal how his public humiliation of Amanda and objectification of women at his gym of choice, LA Fitness, seemingly favors a narcissistic, antisocial personality.
Our investigation poses crucial questions: Why wasn't Davey considered a suspect in Amanda's murder? Are there inconsistencies in the timeline of the crime? And why have our requests for crime-related documents via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) been stonewalled? Despite the lack of cooperation from the Marion County Prosecutors' office, we persist in seeking answers. We believe it's time for the public to access the records they have a constitutional right to view.
Finally, we question the infamous 911 call Davey made upon finding Amanda unconscious, which remains unheard despite repeated requests for its release. This curious detail fuels further speculation about Davey's role in the incident, raising doubts about the call's authenticity and his actions. At the same time, Amanda lay bleeding in their home.
