Possible murder, suicide probed
By Laurie Wink, The News-Dispatch
Bodies of divorced couple found at home, church parking lot.
LaPorte County Sheriff's deputies and Michigan City police are investigating the second shooting incident involving a couple within two days.
A 911 call to Michigan City police at 9:25 a.m. Tuesday sent officer David Fleck to the parking lot of St. John's United Church of Christ, 101 St. John Road, where he found the body of Keith Metheny in a red Jeep.
Detectives Tony McClintock and Jennifer Maxey arrived at the scene and determined Metheny was dead from a single gunshot wound to the head. LaPorte County Deputy Coroner Dennis Durnell assisted at the scene.
Investigators are handling the incident as a suspected suicide. It was reported by a Comcast Cable employee who had dropped his child off at the St. John's preschool.
Michigan City police went to Metheny's listed address at 808 E. Sportsman Lane in rural LaPorte County, to notify family members. Finding a door open, they entered the house and discovered the body of Angela Metheny, who also died of a gunshot wound to the head. The Methenys were recently divorced and it is not clear whether Keith Metheny lived there at the time of the shooting.
LaPorte County Sheriff Mike Mollenhauer said investigators are handling the death of Angela Metheny as a suspected homicide. Details about the shooting will not be released until after an autopsy is performed on Thursday. Chief Detective Kevin Ulam handled the investigation for the Sheriff's department and was not available for comment Tuesday night.

Times Staff Report
LAPORTE COUNTY | The victims of a double shooting in Fish Lake near Walkerton on Monday were identified by the LaPorte County Sheriff's Department as Kathryn Perkins, 18, and Timothy Schaub, 19.
A LaPorte Hospital spokesman said Perkins was still in critical condition Tuesday. The hospital had no information on Schaub, and a hospital spokeswoman would not say whether he was or was not at the hospital Tuesday night.
He also was taken to the hospital following the shooting. The investigation of the incident is ongoing, but police said the two victims knew each other.
Perkins' father found the two at his home on County Road 700 East. He called police about 3:13 p.m. Monday. Both victims were apparently shot once in the head.
Police said they suspect the shooting involved only the victims and a single gun.
