Your article refers to this man as a “Dubois County man” twice. Has Dubois County incorporated French Lick as a territory or does someone there not know where the line is between Dubois County and Orange County?
The Indiana State Police identified him as a Dubois County resident however his address may be listed as French Lick because of its proximity to his rural home. This happens sometimes in Birdseye as well when people actually live in Eckerty.
Some residences in the Cuzco/Crystal area, despite having French Lick addresses, are actually in Dubois County also.
