Vic Ryckaert is an enterprise reporter for WRTV’s digital team. He also covered public safety, government, and development for the Indianapolis Star for more than two decades.
Australian filmmakers Luke Rynderman and Adam Kamien spent six years researching, interviewing and learning about the unsolved crime to make"The Speedway Murders," which is being released on Friday.
In one of Indiana's most notorious unsolved crimes, four workers were kidnapped from a Burger Chef on Crawfordsville Road on Nov. 17, 1978. The filmmakers said they took great care in creating the scene with vintage clothing, greasy burgers and classic cars. They even built a 1970s Burger Chef restaurant in Adelaide, Australia.
WATCH | 1978 Burger Chef murders haunt retired detective: 'This is the type of case that I will take to my grave' Rynderman: Touching on that was kind of deciphering all the information that we learned and also filmed into a, you know, cohesive piece of,for lack of a better word, entertainment that was also informative.
Kamien: I was shocked by just how generous people were with their time. And sort of to Luke's point, this is still an open wound for so many people. When you're sort of in the research, it's not something that you take into account. And then you go and you meet these people... They're just lovely people with that kind of Midwestern hospitality. But the second and probably more important reason is that they're desperate for answers.
