Indiana Attempted Murder Suspect Investigated for Possible Ties to Delphi Killings
An Indiana man who is accused of kidnapping a 9-year-old girl is being investigated for a potential connection to the unsolved murders of two teenagers in Delphi in 2017, officials said on Wednesday.
James Brian Chadwell was arrested last week after he lured the girl into his home to pet his dogs, according to court documents obtained by Fox59 and other local media outlets. Police found the girl inside Chadwell’s basement after she was reported missing.
Lafayette authorities received a report about a missing child on April 19, according to NBC13. The child’s parents called for help after their 9-year-old was missing for about 30 minutes after 7 p.m. local time.

(DELPHI, Ind.) Investigators who for years have been working to solve the killings of two girls in Delphi, Indiana, are looking into a kidnapping suspect in nearby Lafayette, Indiana, to see if there “might” be a connection, the sheriff said.
There are “several factors” leading police working the 2017 Delphi killings to look into this month’s alleged kidnapping of a 10-year-old girl, Carroll County Sheriff Tobe Leazenby told ABC News on Wednesday.
Leazenby declined to go into detail and stressed that there’s no specific link at this point. He said Delphi investigators are following up like they have on several other potential leads over the years.
