Authorities have announced that an additional arrest has now been made in the Lowell Badger homicide case in Sullivan County, Indiana. Badger was a rural farmer who was robbed and killed at his rural residence south of Carlisle in early December of 2012. A warrant was issued this week in Sullivan County Superior Court for 39 year old Richard Taft charging him with Murder and 2 counts of Burglary resulting in bodily injury. The warrant was served on Taft by the Indiana Department of Corrections at the Michigan City Indiana prison where he is currently incarcerated on other charges. One other man, William Ray Grimes, was arrested and charged in the Badger case in April. The case had gone cold until recent events led to the arrests.
