BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Sept. 16 Police arrested a man in Indiana last week after two bodies were allegedly found decomposing inside two barrels on his property.
The Bloomington (Ind.) Herald-Times said Sunday that 51-year-old Jerry E. Pelfree was arrested in connection to last week's grisly discovery in Monroe County and is now facing preliminary homicide charges.
Police said the bodies may be those of two men reported missing earlier this year. The bodies allegedly were found inside sealed drums on Pelfree's property Friday as police were checking up on a tip they had received.
Brown County Sheriff Buck Stogsdill said the unidentified informant had laid out a detailed sketch involving two homicides and the victims' final resting spot.
"He basically told us the whole story," Stogsdill said. "Where it occurred, where the bodies were at, and that they were in the barrels, which proved to be true."
The newspaper said after his arrest Friday, Pelfree demanded a lawyer and would not answer investigators' questions.
