Indiana Quietly Paroles Autumn Cordellioné Without Alerting Local Prosecutors

Outrage over the lapse pushed Indiana to require advance notice before violent felons leave prison.

Overview

  • Cordellioné returned to Evansville on parole in December 2025 after serving less than half of a 55-year sentence, and local prosecutors say they received no advance notice.
  • A citizen recognized her from the 2002 case and tipped off authorities, according to Vanderburgh County Prosecutor Diana Moers.
  • A 2024 court injunction ordered the prison system to take steps to provide gender-affirming surgeries to Cordellioné, and Attorney General Todd Rokita publicly opposed using taxpayer funds for such procedures.
  • Governor Mike Braun signed House Bill 1250 on March 3, requiring the Department of Correction to notify prosecutors, sheriffs, and police chiefs at least a week before releasing a violent felon, with the law taking effect July 1.
  • Reports based on social media and Reduxx say she launched an OnlyFans and posted updates online after her release, details not confirmed by state officials.
