Description
Police in Rush County, Indiana announced a man was arrested for murder after remains were found in the search for a missing teenage girl.
Investigators executed more than 50 search warrants in an effort to locate 17-year-old Valerie Tindall.
On Tuesday, a body was discovered buried on the property of Patrick Scott in Arlington. Scott was arrested on a preliminary charge of murder. Police would only say information investigators gathered in recent months led them to Scott's property.
"My daughter didn't deserve this," said Shena Sandefur, Tindall's mother. "We just want answers right now. We just want answers as to why."
Sandefur said Scott and his wife tried to reassure them after her disappearance that Tindall probably ran away and would come home. She said the families were friends and that Tindall was friends with Scott's granddaughter.
Sandefur said she was sure her daughter would have come home for her sister's graduation or then for her 18th birthday on Aug. 29.
"There's gonna be a hole there forever," Sandefur said.
