Welfare, medical and school officials who suspected abuse in the family of Dr. Gary D. Shipley and his wife, Gloria, say they either lacked the authority to intervene or were blocked in their efforts to help. The Shipleys face charges of murder and child neglect in the Nov. 8 death of 5-year-old Amy Shipley, who was beaten and starved to death in a Crown Point house the couple was renting.

They are being held without bond pending a Nov. 29 appearance In Lake Superior Court. Seven-year-old Danielle Shipley also Is a suspected victim of child abuse, investigators "say. Danielle and her 3-year-old sister, Krista, have been placed In ioster care by the Lake County Welfare Department. The children are Shipley's from his first marriage.

He and his first wife, Rhonda, separated in 1987. Court records show Rhonda Hanlon Shipley left Shipley and the children and voluntarily entered treatment for depression in Indianapolis. Shipley married Gloria, a registered nurse, in 1988. Her nursing license was suspended that year when she failed to complete a drug detoxification program, according to the Indiana Nursing License Board. From 1989 until their arrests, the Shipleys moved from Vin-cennes in southwest Indiana to Jasper, about 45 miles southeast, and then to Lake County.

Each move followed investigations of possible child abuse or drug abuse, authorities say. "We thought we had It made, a good case of abuse we could prove, but somehow it never followed up," said William Rltters-kamp, principal of Vigo Elementary School in Vincennes, where Danielle entered kindergarten In 1988. School officials suspected abuse when Danielle's attendance and performance began faltering. "I was really disturbed when Gloria said she had made Danielle stay In the corner" for four days for wetting her bed;" said truant officer Donna Lawrence, who visited the Shipleys' home. Danielle was removed from the home, but returned two weeks later.

Investigators A Knox County grand Jury declined to issue criminal charges after the juvenile court agreed to supervise the family. The Shipleys moved to Jasper In March 1989. Police there soon began Investigating Shipley, who trained as a cardiovascular surgeon, for writing excessive prescriptions of tranquilizers and painkillers for the family. The Indiana Medical Licensing Board put Shipley on probation, "but allowed him to continue practicing John Pavelka, Dubois County welfare director, said school officials reported Danielle was emotionally distressed. Mental health professionals recommended therapy at the state-run Evansvllle Children's Psychiatric Center.

i Center Director Tom Andls confirmed Danielle had stayed, at the center. He cited privacy In declining to discuss the caseqr why the child was returned, to the Shipleys.
