ANGOLA, IN (WTVB) – Steuben County Sheriff Rodney Robinson has announced an arrest has been made in connection with the murder of 36 year old Daniel J. Sheets in July.
His body was discovered in the basement of a burned out residence in the 5700 block of North County Road 675 East in Fremont Township by Sheriff’s deputies who were following up on a missing persons complaint involving Sheets.
During the initial crime scene search, 30 year old Steven Michael Restemayer was found hiding in a camper next to the residence. He was taken into custody on an unrelated outstanding arrest warrant and quickly became a person of interest.
After nearly five months of investigation, an arrest warrant was issued Tuesday charging Restemayer with Sheet’s murder.
The warrant was served on Restemayer at the Steuben County Jail where he has been incarcerated on unrelated charges since his initial arrest back in July.
Restemayer remains held without bond pending an initial court appearance. The investigation is ongoing by the Sheriff’s Office with the assistance of the Indiana State Police.
