An Indiana Department of Homeland Security survey found that a majority of state residents aren't prepared to survive on their own in the aftermath of a tornado, blizzard or other disaster. The department surveyed 2,500 people and found that more than half didn't have at least three days' worth of food and water on hand in case of a disaster. More than half also didn't have other items recommended for a preparedness kit, including flashlights, extra batteries, first-aid supplies and extra pet supplies.
 

Investigators say human remains found in July sealed inside an old well tank in Hendricks County belong to a man at least 40 years old. The new owner of the property just west of the Marion County line found the 120-gallon tank while clearing the land. Authorities say the man has probably been missing for years. University of Indianapolis forensics experts are working to put together a better description of the man.

A 24-year-old Noblesville man was arrested Wednesday morning after he broke into an occupied Fishers apartment in an effort to elude police. Justin Morefield was found hiding in a bedroom closet about 2 a.m. after a couple called police to tell them somebody had broken into their Sand Creek Woods apartment, near 116th Street and Cumberland Road. Police had been seeking Morefield since about 9 p.m. Tuesday, after he fled from an attempted traffic stop near 126th Street and Hoosier Road, likely because he has multiple outstanding warrants. The suspect was bitten by a police dog when he was taken into custody.
