Detectives received a break in the case when an anonymous witness came forward with a tip.
A 17-year-old Indiana boy was charged Monday over the grisly murders of a young couple in what authorities say may have been a drug deal gone wrong.
When the informant asked the suspect what was wrong, he allegedly replied, “I killed someone and I killed an innocent girl,” and named the victims. But the informant told detectives that they believed Kerner was joking, so they moved the conversation on to other topics. The witness told investigators that Kerner said he had killed the pair after they came to buy drugs from his grandparents’ home while they were out of town. He said Grill had tried to rob him, leading him to open fire on the 18-year-old. “Grill fell to the ground and was begging for his life,” the probable cause affidavit reads. “Kerner advised that he panicked due to being out of bullets in the gun. Kerner then beat him with a pipe wrench until he died.
The informant said Kerner told them “he had done this before and knew how to cover up a murder and get away with it.”
