Authorities continue searching for a former Carmi resident wanted in connection with the beating death of his wife in Posey County, Indiana, nearly three weeks ago.
54-year-old Paul D. Harnishfeger Sr. of Stewartsville, Indiana, is the subject of an arrest warrant following the death of his wife, 43-year-old Chasity Harnishfeger, who was found beaten to death inside the couple’s home.
Investigators say Harnishfeger was last seen traveling in the family’s red Dodge Dart automobile.
According to police, Harnishfeger previously lived in Carmi and maintains numerous connections throughout White County. At the time of his wife’s death, he was reportedly employed by a farmer in White County.
Earlier this month, authorities conducted a search in rural White County after receiving a tip that Harnishfeger had been spotted in the area. Despite the search effort, officers were unable to locate the suspect.
Authorities warn that Harnishfeger should be considered armed and dangerous and advise the public not to approach him. Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is urged to call 911 immediately.
