US Navy Pilot Escapes Near-Disaster During Carrier Landing

Marjorie Jackson, a multi-millionaire heiress from Indianapolis, was discovered murdered in her home in May 1977, a case that has resurfaced in recent discussions on social media. Jackson, 66, was the widow of Chester Jackson, founder of Standard Grocery, and inherited approximately $14 million. After her husband's death in 1970, she became reclusive and paranoid, fearing banks after a significant embezzlement incident.
Despite previous break-ins, Jackson stashed large sums of cash throughout her home, a practice she reportedly adopted from her late husband. This habit attracted unwanted attention, leading to a robbery in 1976 during which she lost $817,000 in cash and jewelry. Following this robbery, Jackson refused to cooperate with police, further endangering her safety.
In early May 1977, two burglars, Howard Willard and Manuel Robinson, returned to her home, this time resulting in Jackson's tragic death. During their second break-in, Jackson was shot, and the intruders attempted to cover up the crime by setting her house ablaze. Willard was later convicted of murder, while Robinson was acquitted.
The case is notorious in Indianapolis, remaining unsolved regarding the full extent of Jackson's stolen fortune, with millions still unaccounted for.
