Tragedy of a Southern Indiana Farmer Ends in Murder Suicide
In Brazil Indiana, July 27, Charles Wolfangel butchered his wife and two daughters with a hatchet, then killed himself. The crime, likely planned, occurred between 1 and 2 AM in Denmark, with neighbors discovering the scene after a door was found secured and bloodied. The elder daughter may have died at the door, the younger earlier, and the mother in the next room. Wolfangel’s motive appears long plotted. A failed attempt to take a McCullough daughter preceded the killings. A separate note reports Laporte’s council awarding a $97,000 waterworks contract on the Kankakee river.
