Indiana Man Allegedly Kills Wife on Valentine's Day After Paris-Themed Date Dispute: 'She Didn't Give a S--t'

An Indiana man, Taylor Meyer, stands accused of a heinous crime—fatally stabbing his wife, Deborah, a shocking 40 times with a large kitchen knife on Valentine's Day. The chilling incident unfolded in their Jeffersonville home while their three young children slept upstairs, as per court documents.

The tragic turn of events stemmed from Taylor Meyer's elaborate plans for a Paris-themed evening, meticulously arranged for his wife, Deborah, on Valentine's Day. The 34-year-old husband's efforts were fueled by suspicions of his 36-year-old wife's alleged affair with a co-worker, a revelation that had been gnawing at him since January, according to a probable cause affidavit.

In a bid to salvage their relationship, Meyer went to great lengths to create a romantic ambiance. He purchased a dress for Deborah, ordered dinner, and even had their children draw pictures of the iconic Eiffel Tower as part of the themed evening dubbed "Bringing Paris to you," as detailed in the documents.

Despite his elaborate gestures, Meyer's hopes for a rekindled romance were shattered when Deborah seemingly showed no enthusiasm or appreciation for his efforts. "It was the hardest I've ever tried," Meyer lamented during police questioning, expressing his disappointment at his wife's perceived indifference. “She just didn’t give a s–t.”

The evening took a dark turn when Deborah briefly left the house, a move Meyer suspected was to rendezvous with her alleged "boyfriend." Upon her return, a confrontation ensued as Meyer reportedly tried to wrestle her phone away, triggering a violent altercation between the couple.

Amidst the escalating conflict, chilling words were exchanged. "What are you going to do, kill me? You're going to hurt me and leave our kids with no parents?" Deborah reportedly questioned during the altercation, as recounted by Meyer in his police interview.

Subsequently, a harrowing sequence of events unfolded as Meyer forcibly took Deborah's phone, leading to a physical struggle. The situation escalated when Meyer struck her multiple times on the head with a wine bottle, causing her to lose consciousness.

As the confrontation intensified, Meyer retrieved a large kitchen knife and callously inflicted multiple stab wounds on his wife, including her chest, in a brutal attack witnessed by their children asleep in the house. Shockingly, Meyer allegedly took a photo of Deborah's lifeless body and callously sent it to her suspected lover with the message, "Your Fault," before informing friends and family of the gruesome act.

Upon his arrest, authorities discovered the couple's three young children, all under the age of 5, inside the residence, adding a layer of tragedy to the already horrific incident. Taylor Meyer has entered a plea of not guilty to the murder charge and will remain incarcerated until his trial scheduled for July.
