CROTHERSVILLE, Ind. -- Other people might have been involved in the abduction and slaying of a 10-year-old Crothersville girl, authorities said Thursday after the arrest of a local man who reportedly confessed to the crime.\nCharles "Chuckie" James Hickman, 25, was arrested Wednesday on preliminary charges of murder, felony murder and criminal confinement in the slaying of Katlyn "Katie" Collman. He was being held Thursday at the Jackson County Jail awaiting an initial court hearing.\nThe Tribune of Seymour reported Thursday that Hickman confessed to the killing.\n"We are not satisfied with just one arrest," state police Sgt. Jerry Goodin said at a news conference Thursday. "If that's what it leads to in this case, if that's all it boils down to, then obviously we are. But if there are other people involved, then we are going to seek those other people out"
