The man accused of killing a popular Indianapolis musician made his first court appearance Tuesday. Prosecutors say Allen Parker confessed to killing John Austin Butsch last Thursday. Butsch was found dead inside his Woodruff Place home after a neighbor noticed his front door was open and called police. Parker was in court for an initial hearing to face charges of murder, criminal confinement and robbery. Detectives say Butsch evicted Parker, and they believe Parker killed him in revenge.

Major changes are coming to Marion County’s storm sirens this summer. Starting in July, the warning sirens will be sounded during tornado warnings from the National Weather Service but no longer during a tornado watch unless a public safety officer spots a tornado or after there have been confirmed reports of imminent life-threatening conditions. Officials said they will also go high-tech with warnings, sending out alerts to cell phones and landlines.

Indianapolis police have arrested four people, including a convicted child molester, as part of an alleged baby-selling scheme. According to investigators, Michael Overby, 57, who was convicted of child molestion in 1984, and his sister-in-law, Debbie Overby, 50, tried to purchase a baby from Rose Faucett, 36, and Phillip Hester, 58. Faucett has a history of prostitution, police say. Michael Overby falsely signed a paternity affidavit at Wishard Hospital, claiming to be the baby's biological father, according to police. All four face charges of neglecting a dependent and child selling, and more charges could be filed.
