The bodies of a 57-year-old man and his three dogs were found in a Spearsville home Wednesday.

A resident on Bean Blossom Road called police for a welfare check.

Neighbors became concerned after they hadn’t seen Robert Arnold “Bob” Suding Jr., for close to one month. One neighbor called police around 6:30 pm after looking through a window and seeing the dead dogs.

Brown County Deputy Coroner Earl Piper estimated Suding had been dead for two to three weeks. Causes of death for Suding and the dogs have not been determined.

Piper is awaiting information from investigators before recording a cause of death. He has spoken with a pathologist and does not plan to seek an autopsy.

Piper is not sure how the dogs died, but says they probably did not starve and they had access to water.

Suding has family in Brown County and Chicago. Funeral arrangements are pending.

Former candidate for Indiana Representative, Washington County Commissioner, County Engineer and Solid Waste District Director who was arrested in March on charges of child molestation has been released on bond.

Albert Mike Goering has been released from the Washington County Detention Center after posting a $25,000 bond.

Washington Circuit Judge Larry Medlock issued an order last week to reduce Goering’s bond from $120,000 to $25,000 full cash.

Goering had been jailed since his March 22 arrest on six B felony charges involving allegations he had sexual relations with a young teenage girl.

Medlock attached six terms to his order, including stipulations that Goering surrender his passport and sign a waiver of extradition.

Medlock ordered that Goering not leave the state, including in his order, “Defendant shall not even cross the river to the State of Kentucky.”

The crash was reported at 1:19 p.m. on State Road 60, at the intersection of Motsinger Road. The caller originally reported an erratic driver about seven minutes earlier and the fact the driver might possibly be intoxicated.

The driver, Brooke Bunch, 31, Pekin, then crossed into the left bound lane, colliding with the motorcycle.

Shortly after midnight on Friday, March 22, troopers from the Indiana State Police Post at Sellersburg responded to a reported stabbing at 210 West County Line Road in Scott County.

When troopers arrived they encountered the victim, Jeffery Campbell, 39, from Crothersville, IN, who had received at least two stab wounds. He was immediately transported to the Scott Memorial Hospital for treatment of his injuries by Scott County E.M.S.

The person who allegedly did the stabbing, William Carl Bryant, 47, from Scottsburg, IN, fled the scene before officers arrived but was located quickly a couple hundred yards from where the crime occurred by a deputy from Scott County.

The stabbing was alleged to have occurred after an argument broke out between Jeffery Campbell and William Carl Bryant who were at the residence with others socializing.

William Carl Bryant was arrested and incarcerated at the Scott County Jail on the charges of Aggravated Battery, B Felony and Criminal Recklessness with a Deadly Weapon, C Felony. This investigation is continuing.
