On Sunday, May 24th, the DeKalb County Coroner’s office began a death investigation in the 1100 block of Franklin Street in Garrett. An adult male identified as David Allen Conversett, 51, of Garrett, was found deceased at a residence. An autopsy conducted by the Northeast Indiana Forensic Center at St. Joseph hospital in Fort Wayne revealed evidence suggesting a manner of death caused by other than accidental or natural causes.
As a result of these findings, on Monday the DeKalb County Coroner’s office contacted detectives with the Indiana State Police (ISP) Fort Wayne Post to assist in the investigation.
After a thorough investigation, ISP detectives, with assistance of ISP Crime Scene Investigators (CSI), discovered incriminating evidence establishing probable for the arrest of David Conversett's wife, Michelle R. Conversett, for Murder.
On Friday State Police detectives arrested Michelle Conversett, age 47 of Garrett without incident. Conversett is facing one count of Murder, and one count of Aggravated Battery. She was transported to the DeKalb County Jail where she was booked into custody on felony charges, and remains in custody pending an initial hearing.
