NORTH VERNON, Ind. — Police are investigating a Jennings County woman’s death at her Country Squire Lakes home in North Vernon.

The family of Rhonda Gibson, 44, was notified Monday night that her body had been found in the Jennings County home.

Now, instead of her family gathering to celebrate Christmas at Gibson’s home, they are planning the woman’s funeral, said her brother, David Gibson, who lives in Alabama.

“We had already planned to be down there for Christmas, but Christmas will probably be changed now,” David Gibson said in a telephone interview phone Tuesday afternoon.

David said he was told an autopsy is planned for today and that a detective would call him with the results.

Sgt. Allen Ritchie of the Jennings County Sheriff’s Department said Monday that detectives from the county agency and Indiana State Police were working the case and conducting interviews.
