Rush County Sheriff’s Office, assisted by the Rushville Police Department, United States Marshals Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, discovered a body while executing search warrants Tuesday associated with the disappearance of Valerie Tindall.
Tindall was reported missing by family on June 8. She was 17 years old at the time of the disappearance.
Substantial investigative activity resulted in the discovery of a body buried at 2366 N. Oak St. in Arlington, Indiana. The property belonged to Patrick Scott (photo), who was identified early in the investigation as a person of interest.
The Rush County Coroner was dispatched to the scene to begin the process of positively identifying the remains and determining the cause and manner of death.
Following the discovery of the body, Scott was arrested without incident and booked into the Rush County jail for Murder.
“This is not the outcome we had hoped for,” said Allan Rice, Rush County Sheriff, in a media release Wednesday. “This case is still under investigation to ensure those responsible are successfully prosecuted.”
Rush County Sheriff’s Office urges the public to come forward with any information that may assist the investigation in light of recent developments.
The public may contact the Sheriff’s office at 765-932-2931.
