Indiana Man Kills a Grandma, Cuts off her Head, Burns down her House

Indiana State News by Ken Fulton, Crime and Justice Bureau Chief

An Indiana man is held without bond after being charged in the slaying of an elderly woman and the subsequent arson of her home. Brian Williams was arrested only hours after the fire with the victim’s mutilated remains inside his home.

Authorities first responded to a fire at the apartment of Melody Gambetty, 67, and found her decapitated body on the floor inside. While an autopsy has not reported an official cause of death, Clarksville police state that it appeared Gambetty had been stabbed. She was also missing body parts besides her head when found at the scene.

Just hours later, authorities discovered these missing body parts inside a suitcase in Williams’ home. Additionally, Williams was in possession of Gambetty’s I.D., credit, and debit cards. Williams has been charged with misdemeanor theft in addition to murder and arson.

Witnesses state that a “young, suspicious but polite man” visited residents within the apartment building, attempting to solicit “community service work”.

Surveillance footage reveals that Williams entered the apartment building the day prior to the fire and left three hours later with two suitcases.

Indiana investigators believe that Williams murdered Gambetty the day before the fire and returned the following day to set the apartment ablaze and destroy evidence.

Williams has entered a Not Guilty plea on all charges. He currently awaits the assignment of a public defender from the Clark County public defender’s office.
