Five people have been arrested for their involvement in the burning to death of a Shelbyville man in Delaware County.
Delaware County Sheriff Jeff Stanley released information that his department had received final DNA test results from the Indiana State Police of their ongoing vehicle fire and homicide investigation that began December 14, 2025. The deceased has been identified as Michael D. Greer, 58, of Shelbyville.
In the release, Sheriff Stanley says investigators spent countless hours conducting interviews, reviewing evidence and working alongside local and state partners. He expressed appreciation to the Sheriff's Office Investigations Division, Delaware County Coroner's Office and the Delaware County Prosecutor's Office for their long hours on the case.
