The Name of the Tape: The Unsolved Murder of Bennett Brown

The Name of the Tape: The Unsolved Murder of Bennett Brown

In May 1976, the body of 18-year-old Bennett Brown was found in rural Lawrence County, Indiana. He had no identification — only a set of keys, $1.05 in coins, and a name stitched into his clothes.

Who was Bennett Brown? How did a college freshman from Evanston, Illinois, end up murdered and left in a wooded ravine nearly 300 miles from home?

This episode of A Heavy Weight dives into Bennett’s story — his life at Northern Illinois University, the discovery of his body, the search for answers, and the enduring silence around his death. Nearly five decades later, his case remains unsolved.
