Autopsy on
Body Found Inconclusive
(Sharon Love)
A body
found in Clark County Friday, believed to be that of Nina Keown,
has still not been positively identified. The Clark County
coroner is still working to identify the remains found along
New-Washington- Bethlehem Road. The body was discovered in the
area where Nina’s ex-husband, Robert Petty, took authorities and
said that is where he had dumped her body. Nina disappeared
August 7 after attending a music festival on Plymouth Road.
Petty is now a suspect in her death, but has not yet been
charged. Yesterday’s autopsy was inconclusive.

filed in Jackson Superior Court by the owners of The Lion’s Den
adult store in Uniontown. The appeal is against the ruling

Two Killed in Vehicle
Accidents Within the Last Few Days
(Sharon Love)
Two southern Indiana
residents have been killed in separate vehicle accidents within
the past few days. 59-year-old John Hobson of Paoli was killed
Saturday on Highway 37 between Orleans and Paoli after another
vehicle crossed the center line and struck Hobson's truck
head-on. Hobson’s truck ignited and caused a car driven by
19-year-old Tomasso Sneider to catch on fire. Sneider was flown
to the hospital. 57-year-old Sandra Hobson was a passenger in
Hobson's pickup and was transported to an Orange County
Hospital. On Thursday, 17-year-old Levi Phillips of Brownstown
was pronounced dead at the scene of a one-vehicle wreck on
County Road 400 West, when he lost control of his vehicle
causing it to flip two times. Two passengers in the truck, a
16-year-old and 15-year-old received non-life-threatening
injuries.
West Nile Found in
Indiana
(Sharon Love)
The West Nile virus
has been found in Indiana. Health Department officials say the
virus has been found in Monroe County in different locations.
They say mosquitoes can fly up to a mile so just because
positive-testing mosquitoes were found in two different
locations, that doesn’t mean they can’t also be in other areas
of the county. This is the second time mosquitoes have tested
positive in the county in three years.
