Posey County deputies are looking for a homicide suspect they say should be considered armed and dangerous.
Deputies were sent to a home on Main Street in Stewartsville for a welfare check and found a victim dead inside the home. The Posey County Coroner's Office has identified the victim as Chasity Harnishfeger, 43.
The sheriff's office says it is looking for Paul D. Harnishfeger Sr., 54, of Stewartsville, in connection with the case. Anyone who knows where he is should call Posey County Dispatch at 812-838-1320 and should not approach him.
An autopsy for Chasity Harnishfeger is scheduled for Wednesday to help determine the cause and manner of death, the coroner said.
In Stewartsville, members of the United Methodist Church opened their doors for prayer and reflection, saying the small community has been shocked by the death and wants to support the family as it heals.
Authorities say more information will be released as the investigation continues.
