Teen suspect in boy and stepmom killing targeted for years
Michael Jerome James has been charged with the 2006 murders of 10-year-old Blake Dickus and his stepmother Chynna Dickus in Franklin, Indiana. Authorities identified James as a suspect years ago but faced legal challenges due to Indiana law, which delayed prosecution because the crimes were committed when he was a minor. A recent legal change in 2025 provided a pathway to charge him in adult court, leading to his indictment after nearly two decades.
