Grand jury to probe Palmer murder

FORT SACKVILLE, Ind. — A grand jury will convene next week in an attempt to shed light on the death of Robbie Palmer.

Prosecutor Dallas Ellerman has been focusing his attention on the death of Palmer, which occurred at a party in Fort Sackville on the morning of May 3.

Fort Sackville Police interviewed party attendees, but no charges in Palmer’s death have resulted.

A grand jury is an opportunity for the prosecutor to gather information. Grand jury investigations are considered private.

Ellerman said if all goes smoothly, the grand jury inquiry should take no more than a week.

Palmer’s mother, Ruth Palmer, has pressed the Fort Sackville Police and the prosecutor to continue the investigation.

She believes there is more information to be uncovered and hopes the grand jury will provide more facts. “I feel deep in my heart they will find hidden information if everyone under oath is truthful,” she said.
