Glad the LE community made an arrest so fast. Curious if any LE on here can share what led authorities to this loser POS.

Seems like one of these crimes happens every couple years around Bloomington.

Indiana State Police Murder Investigation of IU Student Continues


Brown County – State police detectives continued their work throughout the day today following the autopsy of 22 year old murder victim Hannah Wilson, an IU student who had been reported missing earlier this week.

Information and investigative leads are still being gathered as this investigation is still active. Investigators and the Brown County Prosecutor’s Office encourage anyone with information related to Hannah Wilson’s activities prior to being reported missing to call the Indiana State Police Bloomington Post at (812) 332-4411.

As this case continues to be reviewed and evidence continues to be collected, no new information will be released related to the details of Hannah’s murder, or what led to the arrest Mr. Messel.

Once the investigation is complete and the Brown County Prosecutor has the facts of the case in their entirety, a probable cause affidavit will be submitted to the Brown County Prosecutor’s Office.

While members of the Indiana State Police and the Brown County Prosecutor’s Office understand the level of public interest associated with this heinous crime, it is of vital importance to not compromise this fluid investigation with the release of information that could prove harmful to the judicial process.

The Indiana State Police continue to stress the filing of criminal charges is only the beginning of the process and that Mr. Messel is presumed innocent until and unless guilt is proven in court.

Yeah. What the hell B-Town?

 

[Bennettjh]

Heard about this earlier. Glad they have a suspect in custody. Wonder how they got him so quick.

 

[bwframe]

Yeah. What the hell B-Town?

Falling down drunk girls are easy targets to predators. This sanctuary town attracts them both.

Hopefully, this poor young lady wasn't a part of that, but it's often the case.

And as someone posted on the news site.
"Wonder if there is a connection with the disappearance of Lauren Spierer"

 

[CathyInBlue]

There's a reason when I was a student there, I only ever drank alone in my dorm room with the doors and windows locked.

Okay, I'm a loner who has no friends, but my point is valid. Loners seldom get drunk where they can get kidnapped/raped.

ANY college town has those. But why is Bloomington having this is issue so frequently? Is it due to them being so close to the set of Deliverance?

 

[ModernGunner]

Presuming Messel to be the perpetrator, will be interesting to learn the motive, besides psychosis.

 

[longbow]

My source is not talking, but he said one door closed but a new one opened. Not sure what he meant....

But not ANY college town is so famous for such.

What's a sanctuary town?

So three dead in the last two years from the little 500 weekend......

He means a haven for the homeless and looking the other way to drug crimes,

Ooooh gotcha

Yep...lots of parties, lots of students out enjoying the spring weather, lots of opportunities for those with nefarious intentions....

Yep and most walk around oblivious to their surroundings with their head buried in their phones and music blasting through their headphones.
