INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Exactly 155 years ago today, the first official Weather Bureau records were taken in Indianapolis on Feb. 10, 1871.

Later on, the Weather Bureau would become the National Weather Service.

The high temperature was 28 degrees for the day, with no precipitation recorded. Low temperature records did not begin until March 1, 1871.

Indianapolis Weather Extremes over the 155-year history

HOTTEST: Our hottest temperature of 106 degrees was recorded in multiple years, all in July. Those years were 1901, 1934, and 1936.

COLDEST: Many will remember the record cold air of Jan. 19, 1994. Not only was that Indy’s coldest temperature in history at -27 degrees, but New Whiteland achieved the lowest temperature in state history at -36 degrees.

WETTEST DAY: Another weather event recent enough for people to remember. The Labor Day flood of 2003 brought record-breaking rainfall amounts to the state. Indianapolis picked up 7.20 inches on Sept. 1, 2003, alone. Over three days, Indy would get more than 8 inches. This event was one of legendary WISH-TV meteorologist Randy Ollis’ most memorable events he covered.

SNOWIEST DAY: If you asked the majority of residents in central Indiana, their first answer for the snowiest event would be the Blizzard of ’78. But, in Indianapolis, the one-day snow total was greater on March 19, 1906: 12.1 inches.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Where there would normally be a basketball court inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse, there were hundreds of boxes full of dried food on Tuesday morning. The home of the Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever hosted the 15th annual Million Meal Marathon.

The Million Meal Movement, an Indianapolis-based nonprofit, puts on the marathon every year to help its mission of feeding hungry Hoosiers across the state.

According to organizers, more than 2,000 people joined the cause on Tuesday, volunteering their time to pack a million meals in one day.

Executive director and co-founder Nancy Hintz says the group has seen a significant increase in need over the last 10 years.

“A lot of people don’t realize that those who are actually working are not making enough money to make ends meet,” Hintz said. “They have to make choices between electricity, or medicine, or food.”

Gainbridge Fieldhouse has hosted the Million Meal Marathon for the last six years.

Richie Smith, associate director of community engagement for Pacers Sports & Entertainment, says that since the Pacers and Fever represent Indiana, it’s important for them to work to improve the community.

“It’s just a chance for us to host something that’s really impactful for the community,” Smith said. “Anytime we can be intentional and impactful, we’re going to be right there.”

Companies like KeyBank join the event every year and help out in the morning hours. More volunteers take over packing shifts later in the day.

The bank’s president in central Indiana, Juan Gonzalez, says the Million Meal Marathon is a way for his company to be involved with the community it serves.

“It’s also a way to do something today that [our employees] can see the result at the end of the day,” Gonzalez said. “It’s a long day, but it’s super, super important for the community.”

For some volunteers, the event is a tradition. Emily Spoerner says she’s helped for most of her life.

This year, she participated through her job.”It just fills my heart so much knowing that these meals go to local families in need, and it’s great to give back to our community.”

Since the Million Meal Movement was founded in 2007, it has packed more than 36 million meals for distribution to food banks and pantries across Indiana. Each meal costs about 50 cents to make.

FISHERS, Ind. (WISH) — Court records have revealed new information in the death and disappearance of Hailey Buzbee.

The 17-year-old Hamilton Southeastern High School student was reported missing on Jan. 5, sparking a search that garnered national attention. Police later discovered her remains in Perry County, Ohio, prompting an outpouring of support from friends, coworkers, and the community.

Ohio police confiscated a black 2014 Acura driven by Tyler Thomas, 39, and his Android cellphone. They’re investigating its contents to piece together what happened.

Thomas initially told police he picked up Buzbee from her Fishers’ home and dropped her off at the Indiana-Ohio border. But police said, Thomas’ cellular data contradicts that, and he traveled directly to Columbus, Ohio, and then to a rental cabin about an hour away in Logan, Ohio. According to police, Thomas said he was alone, but rental records show the reservation was for two people.

Documents claimed Thomas admitted to police he met Buzbee while gaming online and they were communicating on an encrypted app called Session for more than a year. He said that app was used to plan the juvenile’s runaway attempt. Session’s terms of use indicate users must be at least 18 years old. Buzbee was 17.

Greg Schiller has seen this pattern before. He’s part of Child Rescue Coalition, an organization dedicated to protect children from sexual exploitation. “Predators will meet children in any number of places across the internet, websites, apps, gaming systems, and they will bridge them over to another application that the predator feels is more secure and that the victim will feel no one will see those messages. Session, among other apps, provide that anonymity for the offender to protect themselves from potential law enforcement investigation on the back end.”

Additionally, a hairtie and 47 photographs were found inside the Acura. Police swabbed it for DNA and were awaiting results.

Thomas’ lawyer said Thomas led police to Buzbee’s remains.

Police said Thomas is the last known person to have contact with the teen.

Thomas has not been charged in Buzbee’s disappearance and death, but he is charged with pandering sexual material involving minors and tampering with evidence. Police say a photo of another child being sexually abused was found on Thomas’s cellphone.

A court hearing set Tuesday for Thomas has been canceled.
