State police make arrest in 1992 cold case of Tony Bledsoe

ARCADIA, Ind. - More than 30 years later, the family of Tony Bledsoe may finally be getting answers.




On the morning of March 16, 1992, the 24-year-old father set out from his hometown in Noblesville on Indiana 19 with $8 in his pocket and an eighth of a tank of gas in his car... and disappeared.




"My dad didn't leave," said Justin Robinson, son of Tony Bledsoe. "My dad didn't just leave."




On Tuesday, 33 years after his father vanished off the face of the Earth, Robinson is finally getting answers. And, perhaps, even justice.




Investigators announced that Thomas Anderson Jr. of Arcadia has been arrested in connection to the decades-old cold case revolving around Tony Bledsoe. Court records show Anderson is charged with one count of murder.




At a press conference, police revealed human remains were found in Putnam County on April 3, 1992. Those remains were unidentified until 2018.




"Those remains were identified as Tony Bledsoe," said Sgt. John Perrine with Indiana State Police.




The investigation stretched on for years until just hours before Tuesday's press conference when Anderson was taken into custody. But while Anderson is under arrest, officials say investigators are still looking for other potential suspects.




Anyone with information about this case is asked to come forward and reach out to Indiana State Police. Tipsters can remain anonymous.




This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
