A prosecutor says a teenage boy will be charged with murder in connection with the disappearance of two northwestern Indiana teenagers.

Porter County Prosecutor Gary Germann said Sunday the 17-year-old boy is expected to be charged Monday with two counts of murder.

The teen will be charged in connection with the disappearance of eighteen-year-old Thomas M. Grill, Jr. of Cedar Lake and 19-year-old Molley R. Lanham of St. John, who were reported missing by their families last week. Police say the pair was last seen Feb. 25.

Germann tells The (Northwest Indiana) Times the suspect’s identity and the details behind the charges won’t be released until he is charged Monday.  The prosecutor spoke after the Porter County Sheriff’s Department announced it had a suspect in the teens’ disappearance in custody and had located a burned-out car.

The department declined to release any additional details.
