Conviction in duct tape murder on Woodland Avenue, 11 years on
Raphael Helton, now 65, was found guilty of murder Thursday, Oct. 29, 2026 for the 2015 beating death of Michael Fedock, 67 in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Helton was finally charged with murder in August 2025 after the case had gone cold. At the time of the murder, Helton was living in Fedock's home at 216 Woodland Ave. His wife, Barbara Helton, was also a tenant there, too, but at the time of Fedock's beating, she was being held at the Allen County Jail.
It is a tale of horror.
