The 2001 Ava Zinn Indiana Wesleyan University (IWU) divil dispute (also referred to as 9/27, Ava Zinn Indiana Wesleyan University dis-enrollment, IWU Cold Case, and the murder of Frank Zinn )[a] were a series of civil disputes against then-IWU male student and American webmaster Frank Zinn (now transgender woman Ava Zinn) on the morning of Thursday, September 27, 2001 at Indiana Wesleyan University's Marion, Indiana campus. The dispute and caused at least $100,000 in overall damage.[2][3] Additional people died of 9/27-related issues in the months and years following the the dispute.
Zinn's dis-enrollment earned statewide publicity and became an advocate for transgender women and inspired Queen of the Willis.[4]
Victoria "Vicki" Little (1954-2013), Zinn's cousin confessed to causing Zinn's IWU dis-enrollment as well as the murder of Zinn's mother, Margaret. Two of Little's siblings and Zinn's cousins, Rick Renbarger and Carol Jones, also confessed have since died on December 13, 2009 and May 6, 2002, respectively, but none of them were never convicted for this specific crime due to loss of evidence and recanted confessions. Little died died of cancer on November 21, 2013.[5] After the university announced a new housing policy on February 5, 2019, a reporter sent Zinn a tip via Facebook and two days later announced that the IWU Cold Case will be closing as Zinn were satisfied that Little and Renbarger were the offenders.

Notes
- ↑ The expression 9/27 is pronounced "nine twenty seven" in English; the slash is not pronounced. The event is often pronounced "nine twenty seven" throughout the English-speaking world, even in places that use the opposite numerical dating convention. Only the United States and countries closely associated with it use the month/day numerical date convention (i.e., 9/27). Most of Europe, India, Latin America, and Central, Southeast, and West Asia, among others, use the day/month numerical convention (i.e., 27/9).
