Husband Charged In Missing Wife’s Murder
This afternoon a 49-year-old was arrested on charges of murdering his wife.
Jeffrey Wayne Fulton, 48, 6226 East County Road 250 South, Paoli, was arrested this afternoon by the Indiana State Police.
Fulton was charged with one count of murder.
Fulton’s wife Michelle was reported missing on June 18, by a friend from Jasper.
State Police Detective Shane Staggs, with Orange County Sheriff’s Department Detective Dennis Lanham, began an investigation into the disappearance of 34-year-old Michelle Fulton. Investigators exhausted all leads and angles into the case, and the investigation became stalled.
Last week, investigators received new information into a possible location of Fulton, leading them to obtain a search warrant on Wednesday for property at the couple’s home at 6226 South County Road 250 East, (Valeene Rd.) in Paoli.
During the search yesterday and into today, investigators found bones and remains in a wooded area of the property.
It is currently unknown if the remains are, in fact, human remains.
Anthropologists are actively excavating the area to attempt to exhume additional remains and hope to be able to identify the source of the remains within the coming days.
Until the remains are identified, investigators do not want to release further information regarding any method of the case or any possible suspects. Due to having no further information regarding the whereabouts of Fulton, investigators are assuming she is still alive unless these remains are verified through DNA testin
This investigation remains ongoing to determine the identity of the remains.

Harvest Road Safety Tips
During this time of year farmers are out harvesting their crops which means large farm equipment will be on the roadways.
As the farmers move their equipment from field to field motorists are reminded to exercise caution on the roadways particularly on county roads.
Remember, some farm implements are much wider than the normal vehicle using the roadways and motorists may need to slow down, move over, and perhaps even come to a stop to allow these large pieces of machinery to pass.
The Indiana State Police offers the below safety tip reminders.
Tips for farmers:
•Have all lighting and placards on your equipment as required by law.
•When parking equipment along the road while in the field, make certain it is visible at night.
•Avoid traveling on state and U.S. highways during rush hour traffic.
•Wear Hiigh Visibility or reflective clothing when working so as to be seen by motorists and farm workers.
•Indiana Code 9-21-5-7 requires operators of vehicles being driven at a speed below the posted limit to move over to the right at their first opportunity if three or more vehicles are following to allow those vehicles to safely pass.
Tips for motorists:
•Be patient when traveling behind farm equipment; farmers have the same rights as automobile drivers to operate their equipment on the roads.
•When approaching farm equipment from the opposite direction, pull to the right of the traveled portion of the road and allow the equipment to pass.
•Always be cautious when approaching farm equipment parked on the side of the road.
Someone may be getting into or out of the equipment or performing maintenance.
•Be especially vigilant in watching for farm equipment on two lane roads, and around dusk when conditions can make the equipment harder to see.
