Indiana man arrested after remains believed to be of missing teen found on his property
RUSHVILLE, Ind. (WNDU) – Police in eastern Indiana say a man was arrested for murder after remains were found in the search for a missing teenage girl.
According to our sister station WTHR, investigators executed more than 50 search warrants in an effort to locate 17-year-old Valerie Tindall, who went missing back in June.
On Tuesday, police said a body was discovered buried on the property of Patrick Scott in Arlington, which is located in Rush County. Scott was arrested on a preliminary charge of murder.
The remains found are pending positive identification.
“This is not the outcome we had hoped for,” said Rush County Sheriff Allan Rice. “This case is still under investigation to ensure those responsible are successfully prosecuted.”
Police said there is no information pointing to any other people being involved in Tindall’s disappearance. They said information they gathered in recent months led them to Scott’s property.
A statewide Silver Alert was issued for Tindall on June 10, three days after she was last seen in Arlington, which is northwest of Rushville.
Two months after her disappearance on Aug. 9, the Rush County Sheriff’s Department said investigators “believe it is possible that Valerie has been receiving aid from individual(s) whose goal is to keep her hidden.”
It was later revealed police located Tindall’s car at a complex where Scott did work, according to local reports.
“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 Tindall’s disappearance that she 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.

INDIANAPOLIS — Well, he needs players. First-year Indiana basketball coach Darian DeVries is without a roster, save for one signed freshman who fled the state for a year at a prep powerhouse.
The churn of the transfer portal and expectancy of a roster rebuild after a coaching change leaves IU without a player from last season’s roster. That sometimes can be deceiving but, for the Hoosiers, it is true as a result of having 19 players last season and only 15 roster spots once the House vs NCAA settlement is approved, as it is expected to be April 7.
It shouldn’t be long before the Hoosiers have players, though. That date will establish a clearinghouse which will monitor NIL deals, so college teams have reasons to set their rosters, at least financially, before they have to report those deals.
DeVries is looking for those who fit him, his coaching peers and foes told IndyStar, and that includes at Saturday’s IHSAA basketball state finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Perhaps he’s looking for a diamond in the rough for next year, or just scouting for the future. Follow along with state here.
Where is IU basketball recruit Trent Sisley?
Remember the signed freshman who went to a prep powerhouse? That would be Trent Sisley, Hoosier through and through (the coaching change), who starred at Heritage Hills before taking his talents to Montverde Academy in Florida.
That same move has worked out for this year’s March Madness stars: Maryland’s Derik Queen hit a memorable and widely debated game-winner to hold off Colorado State’s upset bid, and Duke’s Cooper Flagg is likely the No. 1 NBA Draft pick in June. Montverde has sent stars, and plenty of one-and-dones, to the NBA. Think Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard and Detroit Pistons rising stars Cade Cunnigham and Jalen Duren.
There’s also a Montverde-to-IU pipeline, of sorts. Both Malik Reneau and Jalen Hood-Schifino attended the powerhouse before wearing cream and crimson candy stripes. And next, Sisley, who Hoosiers fans can watch Wednesday at Hamilton Southeastern High School in Fishers as part of the national tournament.
