Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, November 18, 2025

An Indiana man has been charged with voluntary manslaughter for fatally shooting a cleaning woman who mistakenly went to the wrong home, prosecutors announced Monday, nearly two weeks after the mother of four was killed. The suspect, Curt Andersen, has been booked into the Boone County jail on a no bond hold and will appear in court sometime this week, prosecutors said. The Boone County prosecutor, Kent Eastwood, said the decision to file the charge follows a "comprehensive examination," in which his office determined Andersen's actions did not fall under the legal protections provided by the Indiana Stand Your Ground law.

"It's our contention that the person did not have a reasonable belief that that type of force was necessary, given all the facts that he had at that time," Eastwood said during a press briefing on Monday. Officers responding to a 911 call reporting a possible home invasion shortly before 7 a.m. found the woman dead on the front porch of the residence with a gunshot wound, Whitestown police said. The gun had been fired from inside by a resident of the home, police said. A responding police officer saw a bullet hole in the front door of the residence, according to the probable cause affidavit.
