After a short investigation, the murder suspect was identified as Clinton Matt 'Hank' Landrum, who had already left the scene before deputies arrived.
He was eventually found and arrested by law enforcement in Wayne County for murder Monday afternoon, and officials say he's likely to face additional charges.
'Anyone in the public is asked to come forward and tell us any information they might have about the case,' said Ware County Sheriff Carl James. 'I would also like to sincerely thank Sheriff Chuck Moseley, his exceptional Deputies, and other law enforcement in Wayne County for their efforts in getting Landrum arrested to face the murder charge here in Ware County.'
WCSO expects him to be transferred to the Ware County Jail later Monday and have a first appearance in court on Tuesday.

MISSING: Anna and Ariana Mullin
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — The Wayne County Sheriff's Office in Indiana is asking the public to help locate a woman and her granddaughter. According to the sheriff's office, Ariana Mullin, 3, and Anna Mullin, 66, have not been seen since June 4. The sheriff's office says investigators believe Anna did not comply with a court order and allegedly took the 3-year-old. 'The situation stems from a court-ordered custody arrangement that directed the child be turned over to the custodial parent,' said WCSO. 'However, the child has not been returned, and her current whereabouts are unknown.' Anna is 5-foot 5-inches, 140 pounds and has brown eyes. She also wears glasses. Ariana is 3-foot and 40 pounds. The 3-year-old has red hair and blue eyes. The 66-year-old is believed to be driving a maroon Ford F-150 pickup truck with Indiana license plate CG3920.
