Man charged years after girlfriend's death investigation went cold, IN cops say
Brittney Boman died months after she was shot in 2022 in the woods, but she told police she didn't see who fired the gun, Indiana officials and media outlets said. The 29-year-old woman's case went cold after her death on Dec. 30, 2022, nearly three months after the Oct. 2 shooting in Henryville, Indiana State Police said in a May 13 news release. Boman was hiding in the woods from her boyfriend when she was shot, WLKY reported. 'Brittney loved her family and siblings fiercely, and was always very loyal. She was every dog's friend,,' her obituary read. The investigation reopened in December 2024 when it was transferred to state police. After 'numerous' interviews, a suspect was identified. Derek Pixley, 33, was arrested on May 12 and charged with murder in connection with the shooting, Indiana State Police said. 'It was Derek. … A battle has been won, but not the war,' her mother, Shawnee Edmiston Goodman, said in a May 13 Facebook post. Almost one year prior to her death, Boman gave birth to her son Camden, a stillborn baby boy, her mother said. Camden's obituary identified Pixley, the suspect, as the father. 'After the baby, I brought her home, she was here a day and then he showed up and they left,' Edmiston told WHAS. 'I don't even think she followed up with the doctors afterwards. I think maybe over the last year I saw her a handful of times.' Boman had taken out an emergency protective order against her boyfriend, media outlets reported, but she still lived with him. The day before Pixley's arrest, the mother mourned the loss of her daughter on Mother's Day. 'I have been waiting for a phone call that will never come at midnight again,' Edmiston Goodman wrote in a May 11 post. 'Brittney always wanted to be the 1st kid to wish me Happy Mother's Day. Actually, she wanted to be the first to wish Happy Anything. You were never an afterthought if she loved you.' Pixley is being held in Clark County Jail, state police said. The investigation is ongoing. Henryville is about a 95-mile drive southeast from Indianapolis.

73-year-old man rapes housekeeper and offers her $20 to keep quiet, Kentucky cops say
A man is accused of raping a woman he hired to clean his Kentucky home, authorities say. Richard Conkin, 73, used the NextDoor app to hire the woman, who posted an ad 'seeking babysitting or residential cleaning jobs,' according to a citation. The woman went to his Louisville home on March 21 and began to clean, police said. When she started cleaning an upstairs bedroom, Conkin is accused of going into the room and pushing her on the bed and holding her down by her wrists. 'A struggle ensued and the victim stated the perp told her not to scream or it would be worse,' according to the citation. Conkin is accused of stripping the woman and raping her, police said. Afterward, he offered her an extra $20 to stay quiet about the sexual encounter, according to the court records. The housekeeper called 911 from her home and said she had been sexually assaulted, police said. She was taken to a hospital, where she was found to have bruising on her wrist and cuts to her knuckles that authorities said were indicative of a struggle. Conkin was arrested later that day and charged with first-degree rape, court records show. He is due in court March 31. 'The details of this case are just, very, very, terrifying, actually, and I'm going to set the bond at $250,000 to home incarceration,' 30th District Court Judge Anne Delahanty said during Conkin's arraignment, according to WLKY.
