Indiana teen accused of murdering father, dumping body in river: police

Police in Indiana are continuing the search for the body of a missing HVAC technician who was believed to be dumped into an Indianapolis river after allegedly being murdered by his 17-year-old son.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) detectives arrested David Perry, 17, on June 1, for his alleged role in the murder of his father, Brandon Perry, 35.

Court documents obtained by Fox News Digital allege that David murdered his father and dumped his body in a large trash can in the White River.

Police say Brandon’s body has yet to be found.

On May 29, IMPD Missing Persons detectives began investigating the disappearance of Brandon Perry. He was reportedly last seen on May 26.

Court documents stated that Perry’s sister found a “large amount of blood” on the bottom of his mattress after checking his home and calling police to make a missing person report.

The documents state that investigators later found signs of blood on the basement stairs, and a makeshift burn pile in the side yard of the home. Police were able to recover Perry’s license along with damaged credit cards and a business card in the burn pile.

Investigators would later go on to find that a handgun, bought by Perry and gifted to his son, David, was missing, along with a large, blue Republic curbside trash can. A large amount of trash was located on the ground where the trash can is normally kept, according to court documents.

Police also discovered that on May 26, the day Perry reportedly went missing, David went to Walmart and purchased a red dolly, a dust buster, a small fan, seat covers, a candle, a belt and a small gun safe. The gun safe was found in David’s car with the gun inside, court documents read.

Based upon video surveillance, physical evidence, and multiple interviews, detectives believe Perry was killed by his son.

David supposedly told his aunt that he dumped the trash can “about an hour south” and that the can’s lid “was shut, and it wasn’t going to open,” according to court documents.

Text messages uncovered by police also indicated that David told someone he was going to be leaving at the end of the month after an argument with his dad.

Police then reportedly spoke to the person David was texting, who told them that he said he couldn’t go back to the home but would not say why.

David was formally charged with murder and dangerous possession of a firearm on June 5, according to police.

ALERT DAY: Tornado threat north this evening; severe threat sinks south overnight

Headlines

TORNADO & HAIL THREAT NORTH THIS EVENING
STORMS SINK SOUTH OVERNIGHT
STORMY FOR THE WEDNESDAY MORNING COMMUTE

Severe weather will be possible for some this evening in northern locations. Most of central Indiana will remain storm-free until after midnight. The rare (for Indiana) Moderate Risk has been issued for far northwestern parts of the state this evening. Super-cell storms are expected to develop and move northeast along a cold front. Strong tornadoes will be possible, as well as very large hail, up to baseball size, in the most intense storms. The Moderate Risk is a threat level 4 out of 5.

WRTV

The best chance for the most severe storms this evening will be north of a line from Lafayette to Hartford City. If you live in this area, be very weather aware this evening and have a plan in place with your family. South of that line, we likely won’t see much storm activity until after midnight. This is when the line will start to sink south. It will weaken as it does so, but severe weather will still be possible, as well as flooding from very heavy rain.

Plan ahead for your Wednesday morning commute. Whether or not the storms are still severe, heavy rain is expected, and localized flooding will also be possible. The ground is very saturated from all the recent rain. Strong wind, hail, and even an isolated tornado will still be possible. The severe threat is just lower given the timing and how this will unfold in the weather setup.

Once the rain ends and we start to clear out, temperatures will tumble.

Indianapolis Weather Forecast:
This Evening: Severe storms north. Mostly cloudy elsewhere.
Overnight: Storms sink south. Low: 64°
Tomorrow: Stormy morning. Then drying out. Temps fall. High: 69°
Thursday: Mostly sunny. High: 49°
