Robert Keith Lipsett

On a summer day in Mulberry, Indiana, the lives of two individuals came to a tragic end in what authorities would later describe as a murder-suicide. Robert Keith Lipsett, a 57-year-old male, was found deceased on July 6, 2021, a victim of gun violence. The circumstances surrounding his death were discovered when law enforcement was dispatched to a Mulberry residence.

Inside the home, investigators found Lipsett along with 47-year-old Kristy N. Sartin, who was also deceased. The Clinton County Sheriff's Office handled the initial investigation into the deaths. Evidence found at the scene led them to believe that the incident was a murder-suicide, although specifics regarding the sequence of events were not publicly detailed.

Following the discovery, the Clinton County Coroner was called to the scene to officially pronounce both individuals dead and to conduct a thorough investigation to determine the precise causes and manners of death. The investigation by the Sheriff's Office and the Coroner's Office concluded that no other individuals were being sought in connection with the deaths, as the evidence pointed to the tragic event being contained within the residence. The case was subsequently closed, leaving the community to mourn the loss of two of its members.
