Double Homicide Investigation and
Arrest – Carthage Missouri

PDI Investigations, Inc. of Clayton, Missouri is proud to announce that the Jasper County Missouri Sheriff’s Department Detectives under the supervision of Sheriff Dunn has arrested two individuals for the murder of Robert and Ellen Sheldon of Carthage Missouri.  The murders occurred on October 11, 2008. 

PDI Investigations, Inc. was retained by family members to assist in this investigation.  As stated in the Joplin Globe in an article by Jeff Lehr entitled Niece applauds sheriff for accepting assistance in murder case, “Barbieri told the Globe before a news conference Wednesday announcing the arrests that the firm developed certain informants in the area who provided information that ultimately led to the arrests.”  The Jasper County Sheriff authorized the active participation of PDI Investigations in this matter.  Investigators from PDI Investigations, Inc. worked in conjunction with the Sheriff’s Department resulting in the above arrests.  PDI Investigations, Inc. would like to praise the Jasper County Sheriff's Department’s officers, Detective Sgt. Davis, Detective Kevin Mitchell, and Sheriff Dunn for their exemplary display of public and private sector investigation coordination and cooperation.  This was a text book example of private investigators and police investigators working together to achieve a common investigative goal.  “The use of private investigative agencies is rapidly becoming an acceptable method of operation that is currently being used by local, state, and federal investigative divisions of law enforcement agencies” says Mike Barbieri, Director of Investigations at PDI.
