An Indianapolis man has been charged with many felonies after being discovered with child pornography.
According to IMPD, the charges were filed after detectives seized the man’s cell phone, which may be linked to another crime.
According to court filings, police were investigating the man in connection with the death of Noblesville resident Patrick Stern, 58, in 2023.
Stern was last seen on March 2, 2023 in Indianapolis. Six months later, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department received a report about a burned and abandoned automobile in the woods on Indianapolis’ southeast side.
Inside the automobile, authorities discovered remains that were eventually identified as Stern’s.
Police are still seeking those responsible for his death.
