Indiana unsolved: I-70 killings left 6 victims in 3 states


Michael McCown was shot to death in his Terre Haute ceramics store on April 27, 1992, the fourth victim of the serial killer.

In 1982 & 1983 I managed 2 groups, Will Carey and the NightCrawlers and it's off-shoot, Milo Combo, that included bassist Mick McCown.  He was the leader of Milo Combo.  Milo was Mick's middle name, Michael Milo McCown.

I spoke to this detective, Michael Crooke, in the Indy Star article at the time of the shooting.  He asked me if Mick was into drugs.  I said unequivocally no, and detective Crooke said that's what he was hearing from everybody.  They ruled out drugs as a motive.

I met and spoke with Stan in 88 and 89 when Henry Lee Summer headlined there.  

At the Bottom Line, an opening act and a headliner would each do two shows per night.  After the first show, they would clear the house and admit new patrons for the second show. CBS/Sony preferred the Bottom Line for music industry showcases.  It was up to the artist's manager to book the shows. We recorded two King Biscuit Flower Hour concerts for Westwood One at the Bottom Line (see blog).
