Police: Former Decatur Co. Resident Killed In Indianapolis

A woman who grew up in Decatur County was found dead in an Indianapolis apartment and investigators have named her boyfriend as a suspect in the case.

According to the Greensburg Daily News, Abigail Baker, 29, was found deceased in an apartment complex in the city’s northwest side Sunday night.

Police were called to the 4600 block of Lynnfield Road after dispatchers received 911 reports of a man screaming outside the apartment that his girlfriend was dead.

The newspaper reports that Baker’s boyfriend, Chad Gilman, 38, of Indianapolis, also phoned 911.

Police say the investigation led them to discovering Baker had been hit with a hammer during an argument, according to a WISH-TV article, and she had signs of body trauma.

Gilman was later arrested on a preliminary charge of murder as prosecutors review the case to make a final determination.

Baker graduated from South Decatur High School in 2003.
