A Scottsville man charged with raping and killing a young girl was indicted Friday by a special grand jury in Allen County.
Timothy Madden was formally charged with kidnapping, rape, sodomy, and murder in the death of seven-year-old Gabriella Doolin. Madden is scheduled to appear in Allen Circuit Court for arraignment on January 13.
Doolin’s body was found November 14 in a creek behind Allen County-Scottsville High School. The cause of death was determined to be strangulation and drowning. According to an arrest warrant, Madden’s DNA matched evidence recovered from Doolin’s body.
Madden and the girl’s parents were acquaintances.
