A Merrillville man convicted of murdering and raping his girlfriend nearly 35 years ago will serve his sentence in community corrections.
“Community corrections accepted him as a viable candidate. He’s been gainfully employed and has accepted responsibility ,” Cantrell said. McKee will receive 629 days of credit for having served time between October 2019 and June 2021, and more time in 2022, Bokota said. The FBI Gang Response Investigative Team submitted her rape kit in May 2018 to the Indiana State Police’s Lowell lab for DNA testing, according to the probable cause affidavit. Court records said the test results picked up a partial DNA profile from two individuals, at least one of which was male.
Officers then spoke with witnesses named in the original case records, who confirmed that Callahan and McKee were dating at the time of her death. The witnesses told police that they were previously afraid to come forward, records said.
