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.

Turning hot and humid through midweek | June 27, 2026

Turning hot and humid through midweek | June 27, 2026


TONIGHT

A few showers and thunderstorms may linger through the evening before coverage gradually fades later tonight. Patchy fog may develop after about 2 a.m., and lows settle in the upper 60s with a light east breeze. It will not rain all night everywhere, but the evening still carries enough of a storm threat to keep a weather eye nearby.   

TOMORROW

Patchy fog early gives way to a partly sunny, warmer, and much less active day. Highs climb into the mid 80s, with a light east wind around 5 mph. After the unsettled Saturday, this looks like a far more usable day for outdoor plans, and most of central Indiana should stay dry from start to finish.

TOMORROW NIGHT

Clear early, then becoming partly cloudy toward daybreak, with lows in the low 70s. A light south southeast breeze around 5 mph keeps the air moving just enough, and the humidity stays elevated overnight. Quiet weather continues.  

MONDAY

Mostly sunny and hot with highs pushing into the low 90s. A south southwest breeze around 5 to 10 mph keeps the air moving, but the bigger story is the heat and humidity building in. Heat index values over 100 are possible during the afternoon, so outdoor plans will need extra water and more breaks.

MONDAY NIGHT

Mostly clear and warm, with lows around the mid 70s. A light south southwest breeze continues overnight, and there will be very little cooling after sunset. It stays dry, but the muggy feel hangs on.

TUESDAY

Sunny and even hotter, with highs in the low to mid 90s and a light southwest breeze around 5 mph. This is another day where the heat becomes the main impact, and it will not take long to feel it during the afternoon. Outdoor work and summer activities will need to be paced carefully.

TUESDAY NIGHT

Clear and warm again, with lows in the mid 70s and a light southwest wind. The air remains sticky overnight, and there is still no meaningful rain signal for Indianapolis.

WEDNESDAY

Mostly sunny and hot, with highs in the low to mid 90s. Wind stays light, becoming south southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon. Heat remains the main concern, and another uncomfortable summer afternoon is expected across central Indiana.

7 DAY FORECAST

After today’s storm chances taper away, the pattern flips quickly toward heat and humidity. Sunday looks quieter and warmer, then Monday through at least Wednesday trend hot with highs in the 90s and heat index values over 100 possible at times. Rain chances stay very low through midweek, with only low-end storm chances returning later Thursday into Friday. Overall, the bigger concern after Saturday becomes summer heat rather than repeated storm chances.

Storm chance today, then turning hot and humid through midweek


TODAY

Mostly cloudy and muggy with scattered showers around at times, and thunderstorms becoming more likely this afternoon. Highs reach the low 80s, with a light east wind. Much of the morning still looks manageable, but by later today a few storms could become stronger, especially across the southwest half of central Indiana, with locally heavy rain and gusty winds the main concerns.

TONIGHT

A few showers and thunderstorms may linger through the evening before coverage gradually fades later tonight. Lows settle in the upper 60s, with a light northeast breeze. It will not rain all night everywhere, but the evening still carries enough of a storm threat to keep a weather eye nearby.

TOMORROW

Partly sunny, warmer, and much less active. Highs climb into the mid 80s, with a light south wind around 5 mph. After the unsettled Saturday, this looks like a far more usable day for outdoor plans, and most of central Indiana should stay dry from start to finish.

TOMORROW NIGHT

Partly cloudy and warm, with lows in the low 70s and a light south southeast breeze around 5 mph. Humidity stays elevated overnight, so it will feel a bit more summerlike than recent nights. Quiet weather continues.

MONDAY

Sunny and hot with highs pushing into the low 90s. A south southwest breeze around 5 to 10 mph keeps the air moving, but the bigger story is the heat and humidity building in. This looks like the hottest day so far this season, and heat index values over 100 are possible during the afternoon, so outdoor plans will need extra water and more breaks.

Man’s body found in White River in downtown Indianapolis


INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A jogger heard splashing from the White River near the Indiana University Indianapolis campus on Friday night and called 911.

About an hour later, three divers with Indianapolis Fire Department found a man’s body about 15 feet from the shore, and six feet down, said Battalion Chief Rita Reith.

Crews were called just before 7 p.m. Friday to the intersection of University Boulevard and Blake Street. That’s near the National Institute for Fitness and Sport, and the NCAA Hall of Champions in downtown Indianapolis.

It was not immediately known why the man was near the river.
