BTW, although this is the first killing in Crothersville in ages, all you have to do is raise your sights a tad, include Austin in the survey area, and you'll find that one of my cousins was murdered several years back by a crazed methamphetamine maker/user.
There have been a couple of child killings in and around Seymour, just North of these two places, where methamphetamine use seems to have been involved.
The cops in the ara have recently been moving aggressively against the methamphetamine makers after years of inattention ~ probably due to the fact that several principle politicians in the area who had close relatives or girlfriends in the business lost re-election bids.
Unfortnately the cops still allow entirely too many of their informants (known methamphetamine users) to stay in business. Possibly this murder will precipitate some changes in law enforcement's approach.
