SULLIVAN, Ind. (AP) _ Authorities believe a cellphone recovered from a southwestern Indiana lake may yield key evidence in the strangulation death of a pregnant Sullivan woman.
An Indiana State Police diver Thursday afternoon discovered the cellphone that investigators say they believe belonged to 20-year-old Tiffanie Adams.
State police Sgt. Joe Watts told the Terre Haute Tribune-Star that authorities received information indicating the phone would be in the lake.
The Tribune-Star reported in January that records indicated Adams used her cellphone multiple times on Nov. 5 to call her stepfather, who told police he didn't understand what was being said.
Adams vanished in early November. Her body was found Dec. 30 in a farm field north of Sullivan. Her stepbrother, Johnus Orr, faces two counts of murder in connection with the slaying.
