An Indiana man’s over-the-top Paris-themed date night turned into a bloodbath after he suspected his wife of cheating—and decided to make a deadly statement.
Taylor Meyer wanted Valentine’s Day to be perfect. He had the mood set, the romance dialed up, and even enlisted his kids to help create a Parisian fantasy for his wife, Deborah. The problem? She apparently “didn’t give a sh–,” according to Meyer, and that was enough to turn his romantic gesture into a scene straight out of a horror film.
According to newly released court documents, the 34-year-old Indiana man lost it when his 36-year-old wife failed to appreciate his grand gesture. What started as an evening of love quickly spiraled into violence when Meyer allegedly bludgeoned Deborah with a wine bottle and then stabbed her 40 times with what he later described to police as a “big a– kitchen knife.” All this while their three young children were fast asleep upstairs in their Jeffersonville home.
Meyer’s elaborate plans weren’t just about romance—they were, in part, a desperate attempt to win back his wife, whom he suspected of having an affair. Court records reveal that he had been stewing in jealousy since January, convinced she was involved with a coworker. In a bid to rekindle the spark, he went all out: he bought her a dress, ordered dinner, and had their kids draw Eiffel Tower decorations for a “Bringing Paris to You” evening, according to WAVE.
The night even included dancing to their wedding song. But for Meyer, none of it worked. Deborah’s lukewarm response seemed to confirm his worst fears.
“It was the hardest I’ve ever tried,” he lamented to police, according to Law and Crime. “She just didn’t give a s–t.”
That was strike one. Strike two came when Deborah briefly left the house, a move Meyer took as proof that she was sneaking off to see her alleged lover. When she returned, things turned violent. Meyer reportedly tried to snatch her phone, leading to a physical struggle. At one point, Deborah challenged him: “What are you going to do, kill me? You’re going to hurt me and leave our kids with no parents?”
She wouldn’t live to see the answer.
Meyer allegedly smashed a wine bottle over her head until she lost consciousness, then grabbed a long kitchen knife and stabbed her over and over again. But he wasn’t done. He allegedly snapped a photo of her body and sent it to the suspected boyfriend with the words “Your Fault.” Then, for good measure, he reportedly called friends and family to inform them of what he’d done.
When police arrived, they found Meyer at the scene along with the couple’s three children, all under the age of five. He was arrested and has since pleaded not guilty to murder. He remains in custody, with a trial set for July.
