Allen County Man Charged in Girl's Death Due in Court

Barren County Detention Center

A Scottsville man accused of killing a young girl will make his first court appearance Monday. 

Thirty-eight-year-old Timothy Madden will be arraigned in Allen District Court on charges of kidnapping, rape, sodomy, and murder. 

Seven-year-old Gariella Doolin, also of Scottsville, was found dead in a creek behind Allen County-Scottsville High School on November 14.  An arrest warrant said the child died from strangulation and drowning. 

Madden is being held in the Barren County Detention Center on $1 million bond.
