Jeff Counceller and his wife Jennifer are facing possible jail time after finding and caring for a severely injured baby deer they named Dani a few months ago.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources contacted the couple and told them they needed a permit to keep the doe.
Their permit request was turned down and Indiana DNR said they had to [kill] Dani.
Dani vanished on the day DNR planned to euthanize her.
Governor Pence said it appears conservation officers acted appropriately, but is asking DNR for a briefing on the case.
