FORT WAYNE — The Indiana State Police is asking for the public’s help in solving a case which involves death threats to foster parents of a young Noble County child.

On May 13, 2014, the foster father received a phone call threatening harm to him over caring for the child. Then on April 17, 2015, the foster mother received death threats via text message and was stalked in person while at the Home Depot located at 7723 Lima Road in Fort Wayne.

The text messages received by the foster mother indicated she would be shot if she did not give up the child and gave very specific details about her whereabouts; details only known by someone who was actively stalking her.

Anyone with any information about this case is asked to call Detective Kevin Smith at the Fort Wayne Post at either (260) 432-8661 or (800) 552-0976. Noble County Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect or suspects in this case, and they can be contacted at (800) 431-2330.
