Police are looking for the man who abducted and possibly raped a 4-year-old. The child was sleeping at a friend’s house in
Logansport when the attack happened. Police say she was kidnapped while she was sleeping, taken to a garage where she was
sexually assaulted, beaten and strangled. A witness told police he spotted the little girl walking home at 6:30 a.m. Sunday
wearing only a nightgown. Logansport police say they have a “person of interest” in the case.

Anyone familiar with the music of singer-songwriter John Prine will be going into this celebratory performance with a long
wish list of tunes. For me, that list includes the misfit romance “Donald and Lydia,” the whimsical “Fish
and Whistle,” the get-you-through-the-tough times “Bruised Orange,” and, of course, “Spanish Pipedream,”
with the uniquely Prine lyric, “For I knew that topless lady/had something up her sleeve.” This might even be
a rare chance to hear his song “Kokomo” (no, not the Beach Boy one—this one is about a soldier longing for
his Indiana home).
But the truth is, Prine has written more terrific songs than a single evening can handle. And with still-green memories of
Tim Grimm and Bobbie Lancaster’s outstanding performances at Hoosier Dylan, I’m looking forward to settling into
Prine’s world for a few hours, even though he won’t be there. Tim Brickley (doubling as music director), Jenni
Gregory, Jan Lucas and Michael Shelton round out the company.  Details here.
 

An early-morning police chase in Indianapolis had a deadly ending. Indiana State Police noticed a possible drunk driver in
a white Toyota on Interstate 65 about 3 a.m. Wednesday. When the driver exited onto Southport Road, police attempted to pull
him over, but he took off. He crashed into the Southport Antique Mall near Southport Road and Madison Avenue. The unidentified
driver died at the scene. Fox59 will have more at 4 p.m.
