BROWN COUNTY, Ind. — Indiana State Police detectives arrested two people Wednesday for their roles in the killing of an Indianapolis woman whose body was found last fall by a deer hunter near a southern Indiana creek.

ISP Detectives Tim Cummins and Ian Matthews, along with other troopers, served search warrants in Indianapolis in the murder of 38-year-old Angela Weisheit.

Weisheit was found dead in Brown County in November of 2020. On Nov. 21, 2020, the Brown County Sheriff's Department received a call about her body found near Bean Blossom and Bell roads. Shortly after the call, the sheriff's department asked ISP to begin a homicide investigation.

The warrants led to the arrests of two people:

  • Paul S. Fox, 64, of Indianapolis.
  • Candy A. Lopez Ortega, 28, of Indianapolis.

Indiana State Police say Fox faces a preliminary charge of murder, while Ortega has a pending charge of assisting a criminal.  

Both Fox and Ortega are in the Brown County Jail.
