Michael Greer was beaten, shot and taken to a Delaware County field before his car was set on fire, according to investigators.

MUNCIE, Ind. — An Indiana woman has been charged in the killing of her boyfriend after investigators said he was beaten, shot, driven to a rural field and left inside a burning car in Delaware County.

Authorities said Michael Greer, 58, was found dead after deputies answered a report of a vehicle fire around 3:45 a.m. on Dec. 14, 2025. The case later grew into a multi-defendant homicide investigation that reached from Indianapolis to rural east-central Indiana. Amy Singhas, 43, is among five people accused in the death and is facing murder and several related felony counts.

Investigators said the case began when deputies and firefighters were called to a rural part of Delaware County before dawn and found a car fully engulfed in flames. As crews worked the scene, authorities discovered a body inside. The victim was later identified as Greer, a Shelbyville man. Court reporting cited by local and national outlets said Greer had been attacked earlier at a home on Vermont Avenue in Indianapolis. Investigators believe he was beaten, shot and then wrapped in fabric before being moved. Law enforcement later said the group took him roughly 60 miles northeast to Delaware County, where the car was driven into a field and set on fire.

Singhas, who family members said had been in a relationship with Greer, was accused of helping carry out that plan. According to reports on court filings, she admitted driving Greer’s car with him in the back seat to the field. Authorities said Ameariss Aponte then got into the driver’s seat and drove the car off the road before the fire was set. Prosecutors and investigators have also named Randal Moon Jr., Megan Sloan and Tallis McCoy in the case. All five were reported to face serious felony charges tied to Greer’s death. Investigators have not publicly laid out a clear motive, and that remains one of the biggest unanswered questions in the case.

The most disturbing detail came from the autopsy. Authorities said the findings indicated Greer was still alive when the fire began. That detail turned what first appeared to be a suspicious car fire into an especially grim homicide case. Investigators said they spent days interviewing witnesses, reviewing video and collecting evidence across multiple jurisdictions before making arrests. Delaware County officials said the inquiry involved state and local partners and continued even after the first charges were filed. Newer court reporting said prosecutors later added allegations tied to the destruction of evidence, including clothing, shoes and other items said to have had blood on them.

Singhas was reported to face charges including murder, arson resulting in serious bodily injury, kidnapping, criminal confinement, obstruction of justice and conspiracy to commit murder. Other defendants were also charged in connection with Greer’s death, though the exact counts vary by person in local reporting. One co-defendant, Sloan, was later found incompetent to stand trial, according to WTHR. At the time the case drew broader attention in February, Singhas had a pretrial hearing set for March 16 and a jury trial scheduled for May 12. The prosecution’s theory is that Greer was attacked in Indianapolis, transported while badly injured and then burned in an effort to kill him and destroy evidence.

Greer’s death left behind both a criminal case and a family loss. His obituary said he “touched the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him” and would be remembered for his love for family and friends. That contrast — a personal remembrance set against the allegations in court — has given the case unusual weight in local coverage. For now, the matter remains in the hands of the courts as prosecutors continue to pursue the charges and defense attorneys prepare for the next hearings.
