Fifty-five-year-old Kenneth R. Pitts Jr., of Terre Haute, was arrested last week at a campsite in the Laughlin, Nevada, area. He waived extradition this week during a hearing in Las Vegas.
An affidavit says Pitts bludgeoned 77-year-old Alice “Anita” Oswald after she shot him during a burglary at her home. The affidavit said investigators believe Oswald came home Nov. 9, 2017, to find Pitts and two others in her basement. The affidavit said she shot Pitts in the face.
Oswald’s SUV was pulled from a Vigo County pond in January. Warrants charge Pitts with murder, burglary, arson and other crimes.
