Statements Will Not Be Allowed In Court

Statements made to police by a murder suspect won’t be used in court, after defense attorneys and the Howard County prosecutor signed an agreement just prior to a planned court hearing Tuesday. Travis Funke remains in the Howard County jail facing murder and voluntary manslaughter charges in the 2011 disappearance of his former girlfriend, Kokomo resident Kelly Armstrong. Earlier this year, Howard County Prosecutor Mark McCann offered Funke a plea that called for a guilty plea to voluntary manslaughter and a sentence of 30 years in prison. The prosecutor withdrew the plea after Armstrong’s family objected to the agreement.
