LaGrange County-The Indiana State Police is conducting an investigation
after the discovery of human skeletal remains were located on April 8, 2018, in
a field in rural LaGrange County.
The investigation, which is being investigated by Detective David Poe,
has preliminarily indicated that in the morning hours on April 8, 2018, the
skeletal remains of an unknown person were located by a property owner near 950
East and 350 South.
On April 9, 2018 a Forensic Anthropologist Team with the University of
Indianapolis assisted with the recovery of the skeletal remains. Due to the level of decomposition, immediate
identification of the person was not possible.
DNA testing along with an anthropological exam will be conducted to
determine the manner of death and to determine the person’s identity.
This is an ongoing investigation and no further information is
available at this time. The LaGrange
County Sheriff’s Department, LaGrange County Coroner’s Office, Stroh Fire and
Rescue, Indiana Search and Response Team, and University of Indianapolis
Forensic Anthropologist Team are assisting Poe with this investigation.
