Court documents detailed the crime scene. Police found Mary dead in a rear bedroom. She was flat on her back. The lower half of her body was covered in a blanket. The right top of her skull was hit. And police saw what appeared to be blood all over the house, on a pillow, on living room reclining chair, from the basement stairs to the kitchen sink. The affidavit revealed that Ogle confessed to murder, citing he was depressed and thought his wife was having an affair. Police said Ogle texted his daughter, admitting guilt, telling her, “I’m going to jail. I killed-“ Ogle slit his wrist and was taken to a hospital after the crime. He was since released from the hospital and taken to the Marion County Jail. “This is an isolated incident but it effects the whole community and family, and will continue to effect that family,” IMPD public information officer Tommy Thompson said. He said that, “it doesn’t matter if they’re young or the age that this suspect is. Everyone is going through something. And if you need help, please don’t take it out on someone. Ask for help. Call 911. Get help.” Victor Onochie, lives across the street from the Ogle. He didn’t know the couple that well, but said they seemed nice. “I see them walking and exercising together across the street. We greet ‘hi’ and so on, and ‘how are you doing?’ Nothing stood out of the ordinary,” he said. “No, I didn’t think they were in any trouble.” Ogle is currently in custody without bond.
