INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis police said a 36-year-old woman faces preliminary neglect charges after her 2-month-old daughter died.

Police said Wednesday that officers performing a welfare check found Rachel McAfee and her baby, Emma McAfee, in a vehicle Tuesday afternoon. The baby was pronounced dead at the scene and first responders took her mother to a hospital.

Police say McAfee was preliminarily charged with neglect of a dependent causing death.

Police said Wednesday that she remained hospitalized. An autopsy is planned to determine the baby’s cause and manner of death.

WEST LAFAYETTE — A new ice cream flavor concocted by a group of Purdue University students is helping the school mark its 150th anniversary.

Boiler Tracks is a vanilla ice cream that includes a mixture of chocolate pieces, toffee and caramel. The flavor made its public debut Friday in honor of Purdue’s Sesquicentennial Celebration.

Boiler Tracks was developed in a partnership between Purdue Dining & Catering and a team of Department of Food Science students who beat out six other student teams who also created flavors.

Boiler Tracks will be produced by Round Barn Creamery, a family-owned, Kewanna-based homemade ice cream company.

BATTLE GROUND — The Indiana Department of Natural Resources said it’s expanding Prophetstown State Park by 134 acres and will likely avoid having large power lines pass over the pasture and barnyard of a historic working farm.

The agency said Tuesday it’s buying the land near the entrance to the park north of Lafayette from a private trust for $1.1 million.

The Duke Energy power lines are being moved by 2020 as part of development along a lake near the park’s entrance in Battle Ground.

The Farm at Prophetstown has leased 125 acres since the state park opened in 2004. Lafayette-area officials had petitioned Gov. Eric Holcomb to have the power lines moved away from the farm.
