A Hebron woman was
being held without bond at the Porter County Jail in connection with the
shooting death of a Hebron man on Sunday, the Porter County Sheriff’s Police
said.
Karen Anne Sons,
55, is facing a preliminary charge of murder.
According to
police, at 2:30 p.m. Sunday officers responded to the residence of Robert
Head, 54, at 14 California Ave. in the Lake Eliza area of Porter Township,
for a well-being check. On their arrival they found Head deceased.
“Investigators
worked throughout the afternoon yesterday and all through the night speaking
to neighbors,” the PCSP said on Monday. They also interviewed Sons, who
police described as “the only other occupant of the residence where Head
resided.”
Sons was
subsequently taken into custody.
Coroner Chuck
Harris, in a separate release, said that an autopsy conducted on Monday
determined the cause of death to be a single gunshot wound.
No other
information was available this morning. Police said that the investigation
is ongoing.
