A Venango County man has been arrested in connection with the ongoing investigation into a suspicious death of a woman.
Clayton Hindman, 48, was arrested Saturday in Missouri and charged with offenses related to the death: aggravated assault, possession of a crime instrument with intent, simple assault, and recklessly endangering another person.
“Hindman is our person of interest. He turned himself in (in) Missouri,” Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Michelle McGee said in an interview with Butler Radio on Monday.
This death investigation started last Thursday when police were called to make a welfare check at Hindman’s home on Hillcrest Avenue in Polk- which is a small town just north of Butler County near Franklin. Police got inside and found a woman’s badly decomposed body in the living room. Hindman was not there.
Because of the state of the body, authorities have not yet confirmed the identity of the remains but believe they likely belong to 38-year-old Salina Chilson of Emlenton, who has not been seen or heard from since July 3.
Chilson’s purse and driver’s license were reportedly discovered inside the home.
