Two Year Anniversary of the Death of Lowell Badger
Sullivan County—Today, marks the two year anniversary of the death of Lowell R. Badger. Since his murder, Indiana State Police and the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office have been aggressively investigating the case. Nearly one hundred tips have been provided, but none have led investigators to the killer(s) of Mr. Badger.
On December 8, 2012, 85-year-old Lowell R. Badger was found deceased on the bedroom floor of his rural Sullivan County home at 10447 West County Road 350 North. Mr. Badger died as the result of a gunshot wound suffered during a burglary of his residence.
Taken during the burglary was Lowell’s safe, a light to medium dark gray color, measuring 23 1/2 tall, 17” depth, and 17” wide, in pristine condition and manufactured by John D. Brush and Company. Also taken was his black 46” Sony Bravia LCD television.
Law enforcement and the Badger family continue to solicit help from the public. Anyone with information is strongly urged to call Indiana State Police Detective Mike Taylor at the Putnamville Post (765)-653-4114 or the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office 812-268-4044. All tips will be investigated and person(s) can remain anonymous.
A reward of $30,000 has been established and available for person (s) who provide information leading to the arrest and conviction for those responsible for Lowell’s death.
