He sought and found other relationships for several years.

At work, David faced a rough time. He and several other officers were accused of assault by a 19-year-old. David cleared of wrongdoing. They moved him to patrol a casino, a post he saw as a demotion.

David grew tired of that role. He left the force and moved to a sales job at United Dynamics, Inc. This limited his chances and/or wants for extramarital affairs. Kim worked as a corporate accountant; the Camms had good finances.

On September 28, 2000, Kim and her children arrived home around 7:30 pm. She pulled the car into the garage. Kim and her children met a tragic end there. Kim was shot when she exited the car. The killer placed her shoes and socks on the hood of her vehicle.

Her children, still in the back seat, saw her murder before the killer used the weapon on 7-year-old Bradley while he tried to get into the SUV's trunk. The perpetrator then killed 5-year-old Jill, who remained strapped in her seat.

David said this.David returned home around 9:30 pm after playing basketball with friends at the Georgetown community church. He found his family killed in the garage and called his former police unit. Several of his colleagues answered. David later explained why his first call was not to 911: “My thought process first was, ‘These are my people’… I needed help.”

Police found a frantic David in his driveway. Investigators found no forced entry. They questioned David’s claim that he would try to revive his son because...Detective Sam Sarkisson stated:

When someone comes to a crime scene and talks about helping or being involved, there are footprints. I did not see footprints.

Autopsies showed Jill had evidence of sexual abuse that happened within 12 to 24 hours of her death.

Shortly after David...David Camm made a public plea.for the killer to come forward, David was arrested on October 1, 2000. Detectives confidently charged him with all three murders. They felt they did not need to prove motive because the crime scene showed David was the only one who could have done it.

A bit over a year after being charged with his family’s murders, David’s first trial started. David’sThis covers the history of infidelity and cold treatment.of his family over the years became a focus. Prosecutors argued that his history plus the blood spatter on his shirt—which David claimed came from trying to revive his son—proved his guilt. David’s defense team had 11 men who played basketball with him that evening to back up David's story, believing that offered reasonable doubt.

Despite the alibis, the state claimed David skipped a game, went home, killed his family, and returned to the game without the other players noticing his absence.

After nine weeks of trial and three days of jury discussion, the 11 alibis failed to prove enough. On March 17, 2002, a juryA jury found David guilty.of three murders. On April 11, 2002, he received a 195-year prison sentence and went to the Indiana State Prison to serve it.

The conviction shocked the defense, as 11 people all claimed they saw and spoke with David between games, making it unlikely he could have gone home and committed the murders. However, the state tested David's sweater from the day of the murder and foundSeveral drops of blood spatter appeared.David was within a few feet of the victims when they were shot.

While in prison, David kept fighting to prove his innocence. David and his team got his case to the Indiana Court of Appeals. The court overturned the jury's decision. They ruled David's past affairs should not show motive. They claimed the affairs were not enough to prove motive.This decision ended the state attorney’s case. It gave David a retrial. David could post a $20,000 bond and serve home incarceration.August 10, 2004: The Indiana Court Of Appeals overturned the conviction, destroying the state attorney’s case. This decision let David get a retrial, post a $20,000 bond, and face home incarceration.

In 2000, police found a gray sweatshirt with "backbone" on the collar near Brad's body at the crime scene. David claimed the sweater wasn't his; he never saw it. The prosecution did not test the sweater for DNA then.

The situation changed in 2005. DNA testing finally happened and showed a match.Fingerprints not belonging to the Camm family were found on the car at the scene. Investigators first ignored these prints, saying Kim parked publicly every day made it a waste of time. Rechecking found a set of prints matched Boney.The DNA matched Charles D. Boney, an 11-time convicted felon. Boney was known as "The Shoe Bandit" because of his foot and shoe fetish and pattern of assaulting women. Suddenly, seeing Kim’s shoes and socks removed at the crime scene took on a new meaning.

Fingerprints not belonging to the Camm family were found on the car at the scene. Investigators initially skipped processing them because they said Kim parked in public often, wasting time. Rechecking the prints showed a set matching Boney.

David’s second trial occurred at the same time as Boney’s. Prosecutors claimed David sexually abused his daughter Jill on the day of her murder, and Kim found out. This established motive for killing them all to cover up his crime. Crime scene reconstructions and blood spatter experts disagreed.

After Boney's arrest, prosecutors dropped David’s murder charges. They refiled them, adding a conspiracy charge. They decided to charge David and Boney as co-conspirators.

David’s second trial occurred at the same time as Boney’s. Prosecutors argued David sexually abused his daughter Jill on the day she died, and Kim found out. This gave a motive: kill everyone to cover up his crime. Crime scene reconstruction and blood spatter experts examined evidence.Boney explained that he dropped the gun at the Camm home the night of the murders for David. David turned around and killed his family right away. Boney claimed this delivery caused his fingerprints and shirt to end up at the home.During the trial, some argued the blood spatter on David’s shirt meant he was within four feet of Jill when she was shot. Others said he could have touched her after she died. Some of Kim’s friends testified, giving the theory of David sexually abusing Jill a plausible explanation.

Boney claimed that he had...Boney met David at a basketball game.Back in 2000, David knew about Boney's criminal life and asked him to get a "clean gun" for him.

Boney explained this story, saying he dropped the gun at the Camm home the night of the murders for David. David turned around and killed his family. Boney claimed this delivery caused his fingerprints and shirt to be found at the home.

A jury found Boney guilty of the murders and conspiracy charges. The jury then sentenced him to 225 years.

Nearly three months after his second trial started, David was...David was found guilty.David was found guilty again of all the murders and the additional conspiracy charge. This time, he received a life sentence without parole. A jury member later claimed a forensic pediatrician almost confirmed David molested Jill.

Facing a worse situation, David fought to prove his innocence. His efforts succeeded when an appellate court overturned his conviction due to a lack of evidence tying David to the alleged sexual abuse.The lack of evidence tied David to the alleged sexual abuse.The court tied David to the alleged sexual abuse. The prosecution introduced the forensic pediatrician, which the prosecution believed biased the jury. They ordered a third trial.

For the third trial, prosecutor Keith Henderson filed charges against David. Henderson based his case on the motive that David would gain access to recently acquired life insurance payouts. The Appellate court ordered a new prosecutor due to a conflict of interest.Conflict of interest arose because Keith Henderson planned to write and monetize a book based on the case.Keith Henderson’s plan to write and monetize a book based on the case caused a conflict of interest.

Boney testified.Boney testified that after witnessing David murder his family, he tripped over Kim’s shoes while panicking. He placed them on her car, offering an explanation for the handprint and shoes on the roof. He claimed he did not touch any family members. This proved false; the defense conducted DNA testing and found Boney’s DNA on all victim clothing.

Previous testimonies from Kim’s friends were not admitted because they were hearsay.

Thirteen years after his family’s murder, David was...David was found not guilty.David was found not guilty on all charges. The timing of the life insurance purchases seemed odd, but the jury did not see it as enough motive for David to kill his family. Boney did not retract his statement and continued to insist David was the killer. Kim’s family also believes he is guilty.

In 2014, ...David sued Floyd County.David sued Floyd County and several state officers over wrongful prosecution. Prosecutor Keith Henderson was one person sued. He settled this case in 2016. He then sued the state of Indiana and settled for $4.6 million. He received an extra $3 million in a judgment against Charles Boney.

David said, “I care what people think about me,” regarding his journey to clear his name. He added, “However it turns out, I mean, the journey will continue until I am no longer in this world.”
