Susan Brown sentenced to manslaughter in the shooting of her ex-husband
67 year-old Susan Jane Brown, of Carlisle, has been sentenced to 17 ½ years in prison after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter in connection with the July 2020 shooting of 59 year-old Faron Deece Brown, her ex-husband. Faron Brown was killed at a Sullivan County gas station on July 13, 2020, after Susan Brown followed him there and shot him, dying from his injuries a couple of weeks later at the Terre Haute Regional Hospital. She alleged that she had been depressed and suicidal over their divorce, and that drug use had changed her ex-husband, contributing to their divorce.
Brown received the maximum term of 17.5 years, as capped by the plea agreement on the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter, along with a $100 fine. Susan Brown will receive credit for more than a year served in jail awaiting trial.

2022 Indiana Missing Children’s Day Poster Contest
The Indiana State Police is proud to partner again in 2022 with the U.S. Department of Justice in promoting the National Missing Children’s Day Poster Contest. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed May 25th as National Missing Children’s Day. This day is dedicated to encouraging parents, guardians, caregivers, and all concerned individuals with the well-being of children to make child safety a priority. It serves as a reminder to continue our efforts to reunite missing children with their families and loved ones. It also serves as an occasion to honor those who are dedicated to this very noble cause. The National Missing Children’s Poster Contest provides an opportunity for schools, law enforcement, and parents/guardians to discuss and promote child safety. The state winner will receive a national award certificate from the U.S. Department of Justice and their poster will be selected to go to the national judging competition. The national winner, along with his/her parents and teacher, and the state manager will be invited to Washington, D.C. to participate in the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Missing Children’s Day ceremony.
