and before we get into it I typically like to tell y'all the whole story and then at the end give my opinion I'm going to do that here to the best of my ability to the best of my ability I'm going to tell yall the whole story without leeching in my opinions about things uh but it's going to be hard I'll just tell yall that but make sure you stay to the end if you want to know what I think really happened so let's just start at the beginning 17-year-old Valerie Tindle was born on August 29th of 2005 in Indiapolis Indiana to her parents Jack and Sheena they also had a son and three other daughters now when Valerie was still young the family moved moved from Indianapolis about an hour away to Arlington now Arlington is a very small town like it doesn't even seem like a town seems like if you blink when you're driving you're going to miss it there's only 658 people in this town so everybody really knows everybody and Valerie's family seemed to love the small town Vibe and living in a small town they felt like there was a certain peace and safety that come comes with living in a small town growing up everyone said that Valerie had a smile that was super infectious and that she had a great sense of humor she loved video games and she loved singing and she loved spending time with her family and her friends and it is said that she was really great with her little cousins Valerie also loved animals she had a cute little Boston Terrier named Lacy and Valerie told everyone when she grew up she wanted to be a veterinarian Valerie was a senior in high high school and she was supposed to graduate this year of 2024 and it is said that she did really well in her classes now after school Valerie worked multiple different jobs and she would also work on the weekends as well she worked at McDonald's and she worked at dominoes But ultimately she found a job that she really liked working Lawn Care a 59-year-old neighbor named Patrick Scott had a lawn care business and he had taken Valerie on as an employee 2 years years prior when she was 15 years old so you can imagine like she's 15 she's working on these you know riding lawn mowers in different people's houses and cutting grass and she seems to pretty much like it Valerie's main responsibility for this lawn care service that she was working at with her neighbor was riding the lawnmowers and cutting grass and riding to different job sites with Patrick Patrick and his family were neighbors with Valerie and her family his house was literally just behind Valerie's family's home and as you guys can see they're not living in a neighborhood where the houses are right next to each other there is you know quite a little bit of land there but nevertheless they were neighbors now rumor has it in that area that Patrick and his family were considered strange or weird I heard Valerie's mom say that they were nice she considered them trustworthy I mean they're giving giving their daughter her daughter a job and she's been working there for a couple years and their daughter seems to really like it you know doing the ride and lawnmowers and being able to ride around with the neighbor and they knew the his wife Patrick's wife as well and their grandchildren would also hang out and play with Valerie and Valerie's mom said that even though the rumor was the family was strange she wasn't judgmental like that like yeah that maybe they were a little strange but they were still nice and she had no reason not to trust them and she also knew that her daughter had a strong work ethic and so maybe Valerie could learn from Patrick as far as like being a business owner now Patrick was married to a woman named Linda and he had children of his own and he also had grandchildren like I just said that were friends with Valerie however on June 7th of last year 2023 Valerie let her parents know that she was leaving for work now her mom would later say that this seems strange because she didn't typically work on Wednesdays but she figured okay you know she doesn't really work on Wednesdays but all right she's going to work sadly this would be the last time that Valerie's parents would ever see or hear from her later that day when Valerie's mother Sheena got home from work she realized that Valerie still was not home yet which was completely unusual so she called her daughter to ask her where she was Valerie's phone kept going straight to voicemail and it was already kind of of strange to Sheena again that Valerie was even working on this Wednesday because she typically did not work so at this point it was getting pretty late and Valerie wasn't home yet and she wasn't answering her phone so this made Sheena very worried Sheena then called her neighbor Patrick who was also Valerie's boss and he said that Valerie did not work that day and he hadn't seen her since the day before now I come home expecting her to be here and when she wasn't I was surprised but when he said she went to work it wasn't really all that shocking but then again it was because I I said well it's Wednesday she don't work Wednesdays so why she at work and he said I don't know I I get tired to arguing with her so I just told her go ahead and so uh it started getting late I notic it was probably six or so and I said well she should be home by now I would think so I called SC after I called Valerie probably three times and her phone would go straight to voicemail and I thought well that's not usual I don't understand why it's going straight to voicemail and so I called him and he says no she didn't work today Patrick and his wife Linda came straight over that evening to comfort Sheena now while they were there Patrick mentioned that he thought that maybe Valerie had like run away Sheena definitely did not believe this she was not convinced in said all that her daughter was just going to run away out of the blue like this and it would be totally out of character for Valerie I mean Valerie was very open with both of her parents and communicated with them even when she was going to go off and maybe talk to boys or I mean she was 17 she was actually getting ready to be 18 at this point within a month or so and there would be no reason for her to just up and run away and turn her phone off so Sheena started calling anyone and everyone that she could think of of she talked to Valerie's friends and no one had seen her or heard from her because of all of this Valerie's family went to the sheriff's department and they reported her missing now initially the sheriff's thought that Valerie might be a runaway so they got search warrants and they went through all of Valerie's Electronics they went through her stuff and they were trying to figure out maybe who she could be with this is when the investigators realized that Valerie had spent a lot of time alone with Patrick the neighbor neighbor who is her boss outside of work so not just while she's riding with him working with him cutting grass but they were spending other time together they ended up finding pictures of the two of them together at an aquarium now Valerie's parents were aware that she was going on this trip to the aquarium but she thought that Patrick's entire family was going she thought the parents thought that Valerie was going to the aquarium with not just Patrick but was going with Patrick and his wife and his grandkids so to see this photo of just them two they're like wait a minute Sheena Valerie's mom also told investigators that Patrick had Valerie's location enabled in the Life 360 app on his phone and that he was always checking the app to see where Valerie was Sheena said that sometimes Patrick came off as like this jealous boyfriend but that Valerie would tell her that it wasn't like that so you can just imagine too as a mom you got a 17-year-old daughter the boss has the Life 360 app they're probably saying whatever reason you know well he needs to know where I'm at for work he needs to make sure you know I'm at this PL whatever reason and the mom's like that's weird like the neighbors should not be tracking your whereabouts and the teenage daughter it's like Mom please stop it's not like that like you're being weird like don't make it weird and of course the mom is kind of like okay maybe maybe I am thinking too much into this as the investigators continued to look into Valerie's social media this is when they realized because her phone was off so it did not come on at all which is completely out of character for pretty much any teenager that has a phone most of them at least but they saw how much Valery was on social media different you know how it is Tik Tok scrolling or whatever her whole history she was on it every you know couple minutes basically and now she was not on social media any of her social media accounts at all and the investigators were actually checking up on her every 10 minutes to see if she signed into something if anything hit and nothing did so 2 days later after she was reported missing a Statewide Silver Alert was issued for valer that said that she was in extreme danger now this is when the detectives went to Patrick and they began to question him when asked he told them the same thing that he told Sheena that he did not see Valerie at all on the 7th and mind you this whole time Patrick and his wife are going over and consoling Valerie's parents every day they're going over there and saying she's fine you know how teenagers are she probably met some boy and you know da da da da she'll be back she's fine however a witness ended up coming forward that said that he saw Patrick and Valerie together on that day June 7th another witness even said that they saw Patrick driving Valerie's car car that day like why would he be driving her car that's weird this is when Patrick became the investigator's number one person of interest now the sheriff's department ended up holding couple different press conferences during this time and this is when they asked their Community to please help find Valerie or her car and they told the community to be on the lookout for a green 2000 Honda Accord but they didn't provide any new information regarding their investigation during this time while Valerie's missing her car is missing she's her phone has not even been turned on it's not being tracked she's not on any social media is inching closer and closer to Valerie's 18th birthday and Valerie's family especially her mom knew in her gut in her heart that she would not just cut off all contact with them they were very close Valerie's family at this point is starting to lose hope that Val was going to be found okay but then in August mind you she went missing June 7th Valerie's family found out that the US Marshals had gotten involved in Valerie's case and they had found Valerie's car back on June 26th so they found Valerie's car but they didn't tell anybody not even Valerie's family they had found Valerie's car at an apartment complex in a neighboring little town Shelbyville this is an apartment complex that Patrick had had actually done some Landscaping at because of that the Sheriff's Office decided to reach back out to Patrick again but again he said that he never saw Valerie that day that she went missing but then the investigators told Patrick that they had Witnesses who put him with Valerie that day because of this push on him like come on man we got people that saw you with her we know you was with her on this day why what are you hiding why are you lying just tell us the truth this is when Patrick changed his story for the first time Patrick finally told the investigators that Valerie was indeed with him on the day that she went missing however he said that they met at that apartment complex in Shelbyville he said Valerie got in the car with him and asked to be dropped off in Homer he said he dropped Valerie off there with a male that was driving a little blue car then he said that he went back home but then the investigators confronted Patrick with Valerie's location data off of her phone it never showed Valerie going to Homer it did show her going to Shelbyville but then it placed her back in Arlington Patrick began to backtrack at this point and this is when he said that him and Valerie did meet up but that he brought Valerie back to his house and left her there while he went to work so the investigators are listening to this constant change of story and mind you him and his wife have been going over to the family's house consoling them it's fine she'll be back we she probably ran off with the boy da da da da and now he's admitting that Not only was he with her that day but he even brought her back to his house he said that after he brought her back to his house he left and went to work but when he got back home Valerie was gone so he didn't know where she went now something interesting is that Patrick's cell phone data which mind you he willingly handed over to the investigators shows that he went back to that apartment complex the very next day when he was asked about it Patrick said that he went back to the apartment complex and he got Valerie's car and he moved it to a different apartment complex and he parked it in the spot where the police eventually ended up finding it now when he was asked why Patrick said because Valerie asked him to so again she's 17 she goes missing he's the and the boss he's over at the house consoling the parents it's okay they're going to find her we don't where would she go oh she's probably just with a boy and now he's admitting to the ve investigators with he's done changed his story again that he picked her up at her car brought her back to his house strange then ended up going back the next day and picking her car up and moving it to a different apartment complex and then is lying to the investigators saying that she didn't even come come to work that day he didn't see her till the day before like oh my goodness well while they were going through his cell phone they also found text between him and Valerie and at 1123 a. m. on June 7th Valerie texts Patrick saying I'll be there soon Patrick texts back at 5:40 p.
m. saying where are you and then the next day at 2:46 p. m.
he asked again where are you almost like something happened that morning when they met up with each other and then later that evening he realized oh man there's this text message uh I I need to cover my track so where are you to to make it seem like she never showed up he it to me it seemed like he was trying to cover his tracks but nevertheless at this point the investigators were obviously very suspicious to say the least of Patrick but they did not have enough to arrest him for Valerie's disappearance so they ended up arresting him for a misdemeanor for providing false information or or misleading information during an investigation then in October again she went missing in June now we're in October investigators brought kadaba dos to search a pond on Scott's property and when the kadaba dogs got there they alerted to the scent of human remains but when the pond was searched there was no sign of any Remains the kadab team said that it was possible that the pond water was actually carrying a scent of remains from somewhere nearby on the property meaning like if there was remains on the property and it rained and the water ran down into the pond the dogs would alert on the pond because they're smelling it in the pond but really it could be anywhere because of this the investigators decided that they would do an aerial search of Patrick's property the very next day to see if there was any disturbances in the ground and I find this part of Investigations so fascinating the way that they can fly over and use certain equipment to see if there's been any digging even if it looks like there hasn't been any digging they can find it and this is when they found multiple areas of disturbance then this brings us to November 28th one of more than 50 search warrants at this point was executed at Patrick's property the investigators were specifically interested in a large dirt pile that was covered in a bunch of debris as they started digging they found two home homemade wooden boxes the first box they pulled it out they opened it and it had a bunch of paperwork and we'll say like adult film VHS tapes in it when they pulled the second box out this is where they found Valerie's body the investigators couldn't initially say for sure that this was Valerie but they were pretty sure because Valerie's fingernails were painted orange the day that she went missing and the body that was in the box also had orange fingernail po polish Patrick was immediately arrested for murder and he was taken into the Sheriff's Office to be questioned again shockingly Patrick gave a full confession to the story that he would tell Patrick today's the day family deserves this closure and you deserve this closure do you hear me you you deserve this closure because this is a at you we've told we could tell that every time we talked all right explain to me what happened to Valerie and explain the why cuz we deserve it and everybody else deserves it as well just laid it out to me lay it out to me what happened to her she tried to Black me buying her car okay then what happened she thought she was going to seduce me and it wasn't going to happen things just got carried away well explain that to me what's that mean she tried to seduce me and I wasn't going to have it but what happened to Valerie that's where you're stopping what I mean what' you do to her what I do to her what' you do to her tell us what you did to Herer with what a belt okay then what' you do with her I moved her into the office okay how long was she in there till the next day okay what did um where's the belt at it's gone okay you left her in the office till the next day then what happened then when I got home the next day I just made that box yeah what about the hole the hole was already dug but it wasn't for that it was because I was throwing going throw Concrete in it so you what room were you in when you Str her right there by my bedroom so you said she tried to seduce you for the car explain to me what happened she was wanting to come on to me did she say she was going to get you in trouble or yeah she was going to tell everybody that I was making moves on her it wasn't going to I wasn't going to have it okay just things got out of hand so explain to me what happened there in that room like how did you get the belt on her I was fighting her off and I took it and threw it around her why were you guys fighting cuz she was trying to get she trying to take her clothes off okay and it wasn't going to do it okay and then you guys got in a fight yeah kind of pushing the shoving thing right there okay and then you took your belt off and then what happened I put it around her neck and I held on to it till she quit okay and what' you do afterwards like what you what was going through your head at that time I didn't know what to do with her what did you first think about do huh what was your first like I mean what were you thinking about trying to figure out what to do with her and how long did you hold the if you give me a ballpark how long you held the Bell honor yeah just quit moving okay did you know she was dead then I pretty much figured so Patrick denied ever having a romantic relationship with Valerie we do know that Patrick did meet Valerie at the South High Garden complex in Shelbyville that day and he did bring her back to his house sadly we will probably never know for certain what actually happened happened at his house though now according to the court records Valerie's phone was last used around 2:59 p. m. these records also show that Patrick deleted several apps on his phone he didn't delete the Apple Health app though and this is bizarre and can be very disturbing if you let your mind run run away with it the Apple Health app that was on his phone showed that around 1:35 p.
m.
