16 Minutes: Was the Death of Baby Matthew an Accident or Murder?

A grizzly arson case leads an Indianapolis prosecutor to an infant’s coldblooded killer in this chilling true crime by the author of Inconvenience Gone.

On the morning of March 6, 1993, an intense fire broke out in a tiny nursery. Sixteen minutes later, firefighters had extinguished the blaze. The room was burned so severely, that virtually nothing was recognizable … but they were told to look for a baby. What they discovered was almost too gruesome for words. Not only the baby’s charred remains, but an unsettling fact: the child’s parents were home at the time the fire broke out.

The arson squad declared the fire suspicious and investigators determined it was arson. But if it truly was arson, what was the motive? Along with the tenacious and determined Detective Leslie Van Buskirk, Marion County Prosecutor Diane Marger Moore persisted for more than two years to get justice for Baby Matthew Wise. In 16 Minutes, she recounts the incredible story—and the shocking revelations she made. </
