According to his facebook he used to work Chrysler, presumably the Kokomo factory, so he would have been a coworker of Tony Kline.

Chrysler has a huge footprint there. World's largest aluminum foundry and a large bronze foundry. Thousands are employed at that massive facility in the middle of town, they have three other facilities, a little up the road on 931. Maybe these folks crossed paths, plus Kokomo does have a certain reputation for various criminal stuff. Drugs, sex trafficking, etc

why the heck is it taking so long to go to trial

They filed charges on 07/18/2022. I know it seems like forever but that's not excessively long for Indiana, IMO. It took a long time to get him.

KOKOMO, Ind. (WISH) — A 57-year-old Kokomo man was arrested Monday on a murder charge in connection to the disappearance of an 18-year-old woman missing since 2016, police say.
...
The Kokomo Police Department says its investigators, along with Indiana State Police and other resources, determined a timeline of events that happened around Oct. 11, 2016. They took their case to the Howard County Prosecutor’s Office, which led to an arrest warrant being issued for Flint Vincent Farmer. He was taken into custody early Monday afternoon in the 600 block of South Purdum Street, which is east of South Apperson Way and south of Wildcat Creek.

Kokomo police say additional arrests may be forthcoming.

NOT GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES.The system is broken.
