December 1, 2011 (WLS) -- A man was indicted Thursday in the stabbing death of an Indian Head Park girl.

John Wilson was on parole at the time of the murder. Police say he stabbed 14-year-old Kelli O'Laughlin when she walked in on a burglary at her family's home.

Investigators say Wilson used the girl's phone to send text messages to O'Laughlin's mother.
