Investigators Piece Together Timeline Of Couple's Final Moments

Over the course of their investigation, officers with the LaGrange County Sheriff's Department and the Indiana State Police have tried to establish a timeline of the Andersons' final moments.




From what they've learned, Darleen arrived home from work just before Terry on the evening of Thursday, October 20. A short time later, she went to The Mongo Country Store to play the lotto, one of the many hobbies the couple shared.Terry arrived home at 5 p.m. and within the hour, he went back to that same local shop to buy even more lotto tickets. After a brief conversation with the clerk, he returned home and headed out to his shed to tend to his tractor.




Darleen, meanwhile, had been working inside the house, and decided to pay a visit to her mother, who lived in a nearby trailer on the Andersons' multi-acre property.



Police tell us Darleen spent just a short time with her mom before making her way back home to prepare snacks for herself and Terry.



It was fitting that Darleen's final gesture was one of kindness and love for her beloved husband.



Moments later, an unknown assailant savagely ended Darleen's life.
