Jury Convicts Indiana Man of Murder in Wife’s Valentine’s Day Killing

Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 20 following a six-day trial that emphasized graphic evidence, including Meyer's post-attack messages.

Overview

  • Jurors found Taylor Meyer guilty on Jan. 29 after roughly two hours of deliberation in Clark County.
  • Prosecutors said Deborah Meyer, 36, suffered about 40 stab wounds and blunt-force injuries from a wine bottle during an assault inside the family home.
  • Investigators said Meyer sent crime-scene photos from the victim’s phone to her family and to the man he believed was her lover.
  • Police were alerted by a friend who heard Deborah pleading for help and arrested Meyer at the house as officers tried to get inside; the couple’s three young children were unharmed.
  • The defense argued the killing was a sudden heat-of-passion reaction to an alleged affair, and Meyer remains jailed without bond pending a Feb. 20 sentencing.
