Half-Century Sentence for Cold Case Murder | Indianapolis News
Description
Tony Schoettmer faces a brutal 50-year prison sentence for the murder of 73-year-old disabled man Jim Gaw, after pleading guilty to multiple charges including murder and robbery as part of a plea deal. The case began with Gaw’s disappearance, which escalated when police found his body using a drone and linked Schoettmer to the scene through his suspicious possession of Gaw’s truck, fake paperwork, and cell phone records. The court’s final ruling—50 years in prison, 10 on probation—closes a harrowing chapter that started as a missing person report and ended in tragedy.
