On Monday afternoon in Vanderburgh County Circuit Court, 45-year-old Adam Hartley pled guilty to the murder of 89-year-old Charles Quinn at the victim’s home in the 1800 block of E. Illinois Street in March of 2020.
Adam Hartley entered a guilty plea to:
- Murder
- Robbery Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury
On March 24th of last year, authorities were alerted to an elderly man who was found unresponsive inside his home. Evansville Police immediately noticed a large amount of blood and other evidence indicative of a struggle inside the home.
“The first 48 hours of this investigation truly provided important pieces of evidence in solving this case,” explained Vanderburgh County Prosecutor Nicholas Hermann. “Evansville Police Detective Aaron McCormick and numerous other motor patrol officers diligently canvassed the surrounding neighborhood to find surveillance footage of Mr. Hartley. We hope that this resolution will provide a sense of justice to the family of Mr. Quinn, knowing the person responsible will stay behind bars.”
Adam Hartley will be sentenced in Vanderburgh County Circuit Court on July 14th.
