La Porte County Man Convicted in Murders

(La Porte County, IN) - A La Porte County man has been found guilty in the stabbing deaths of two of his family members.

 

Yesterday, a jury convicted 43-year-old Kyle Earley on two counts of Murder, regarding the stabbings of his father and uncle which occurred at the family’s home in Michiana Shores last September.

 

During the incident, evidence shows that one of the victims was on the phone with his wife, who then overheard the bloody acts while the line was still open after said victim dropped it. Authorities arrived and found Earley leaving the residence, covered in what appeared to be blood. He also had a cut on his hand and scratches on his face. 

 

Earley was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and Schizophrenia prior to the killings and had previously threatened his father and uncle in the past.

 

Earley's sentencing is scheduled for August 17th, where he could face anywhere from 45 years-to-65 years on each count.
