6/22/20 - Sentencing:
Murder - 60 years
Attempted Murder - 30 years
The man arrested in Utah on drug charges had a cell phone photo of the girls death taken around the time she was murdered.  
He was 38 y/o Christopher Michael Goff of Indianapolis.  I wonder if he was later transferred back to Indianapolis as a
Christopher M. Goff shows up in Marion County Jail (birthdate 2/24/1984, which would make him 37 when the article was
written). Jail records say he was released 05/03/2021  and his Case # 49D18-2105-F6-013595 was filed 05/03/2021.
This white man was charged with Criminal Recklessness committed with a deadly weapon, and Carrying a Handgun Without
a License, - His charges were dismissed.  Could this be the same guy they arrested in Utah?
