(Dearborn County, Ind.) - Detectives from the Indiana State Police, Versailles District continue to investigate the Memorial Weekend 2018 murder that occurred on Highridge Court near Lawrenceburg in Dearborn County, Indiana. On May 28th, 2018, Thomas Biedenharn, age 73, was found deceased in his residence in the Hidden Valley subdivision. An autopsy later confirmed that Biedenharn was the victim of a homicide.
