Found Deceased IN - Paul Etter wanted for Kidnapping, Tippecanoe County, 22 June 2019

[cody22]

Thanks for posting. They're not saying much are they? Only interested in where he's been in the last six days. We're interested in the last 6 years (or even the last 46 years)

If MSM publish some of these 2017 photos, SM will go wild IMO.

If MSM does one speculative article about Etter and Delphi, the Delphi thread will explode once again....moo

Ok, I know everyone always looks for jackets pics, but I look for shoes. It's the thing most people keep. And they look..... possible!!

 

[cody22]

That one is uncanny!!!

Of the handful of photos of Etter I have seen, he is not smiling in any of them.....moo

How does a "repeat substance abuser" (or whatever they call it in the court doc), get to be a scout leader, or even go on the trips?

He is often half hidden or at the back or with a big hat on too. Agree he never looks very happy.

I think he had charges dismissed and had a plea deal on the house break-in and battery charges, but it's a good point. If he is a volunteer, they don't run checks probably anyway IMO.

Was he a Boy Scout leader or a Boy Scout in his youth? Or both? I don’t recall reading about him being a leader, but fwiw, the BSA do run background checks.

In regards to this house break in and battery charge who was this committed against ? Anyone have the victim’s name? Or was it domestic battery ?

I don’t remember but I think there was something to do with domestic. I’ll look back on the thread and pull up the case to see if I can figure it out

Case Search - MyCase

Here is the case...to much legal jargon for my ADD mind! It does say domestic battery though.

So then I’m thinking they must have been separated if it was domestic battery. Now I really wonder why he requested to speak with her at the standoff.

Dbm- sorry

Etter was on the loose for nearly six days after he was accused of kidnapping and rape.

Tippecanoe County Sheriff Bob Goldsmith said the search for Etter was the most difficult one he's ever undertaken. Not only was Etter believed to be active on social media during the search, but he was also believed to be armed and dangerous.

Investigators are looking into where he hid, how he hid and who may have helped.

They’re focusing on figuring out how he managed to get to Boone County. Goldsmith said Etter's suicide makes this investigation difficult because he can't be questioned.

Despite these challenges, Goldsmith said they'll continue investigating until they get answers.

Paul Etter Investigation

Makes me wonder if he did have any prior involvement in other crimes, if he made contact with LE in those crime(s), or if there is a distant possibility he is a serial offender. I simply don’t know.

All it seems like now is the investigative focus is on who might have helped him as he traveled to Boone County over the six days the search was going on, nothing less and nothing more.

Hey there, sorry for reposting the same article FOUR times. I wasn’t trying to make a big point- my iPad was being glitchy.

One major way investigators plan to piece information together is through community tips. If you have any information about the case, you’re asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 765-423-9321.

Council to Council may differ slightly in terms of how stringent bg checks are, but as the spouse of a longtime Scout and Scout Leader, bg checks and leader/volunteer, training in youth protection and mandated reporting always were a Very Big Deal in our Council. As BSA historically has been a top-down organization, I would expect similar practices countrywide.
