Lowell Badger was killed in his home on December 8, 2012. The Indiana State Police have continued to work this case since that day.

On April 17, 2024, a grand jury was impaneled in Sullivan Superior Court to review the case. After six days of evidence and testimony, the grand jury issued a True Bill (indictments) for the following offenses:
William Ray Grimes
- Murder, a Class A Felony
- Burglary, a Class A Felony
- Conspiracy to Commit Burglary, a Class A Felony
Grand Jury proceedings are secret by law. No further information regarding the proceedings will be made available.
"This is the beginning of the criminal process," said Roberts. "Once again, we encourage anyone that has information related to the murder of Mr. Badger to contact the Indiana State Police.”
