The Deck Investigates

audiochuck

Our card this season is Darlene Hulse, the 4 of Hearts from Indiana. Darlene Hulse was forcibly taken from her home in Argos, Indiana on August 17, 1984. Her two oldest daughters witnessed the attack but they didn’t recognize the man who took their mother. Though Darlene’s body would be found a day later, just six miles from her home, her killer has evaded law enforcement for almost four decades and the investigation has remained cold…until now.

    3 of 3: Our Lingering Obsession

    We go back to Argos to revisit a family we told you about previously, but focus on one brother in particular who was a recurring theme in our inbox after releasing The Deck Investigates. We ask the Marshall County coroner to reconsider Darlene’s cause of death for the sake of future investigators. 

    If you believe you have information about Darlene Hulse’s 1984 abduction and murder in Argos, Indiana, please email[email protected].

    Darlene’s family has created a petition to advocate for the suspect DNA to be compared to the partial DNA sample that was recovered from Darlene’s blouse. There are also more items that independent experts recommend testing that may yield an even better profile and we would like that to be done as well. To sign the petition, visit

    11 of 15: Bad Seed

    We sort through tips from 1984 that tell police to look at a man accused of the attempted rape and attempted murder of another Indiana woman that same year. A man named John Paul Clark. John had spent a few months in an Indiana prison before escaping less than two weeks before Darlene Hulse was killed. We go to his hometown to dig through records, interview one of his victims, and track him down to see if he will tell us where he was on August 17th, 1984.
