On Sunday morning, December 13, 2009, a neighbor in Indianapolis found the body of 21-year-old Adam M. Crouch in an alley in the 1800 block of Prospect Street in the Fountain Square neighborhood. Police classified his death as a homicide and investigators believe the alley was not the location of the attack but where his body had been moved afterward. Friends said Adam had been out at a local club the night before and that jewelry he usually wore was missing when he was found, prompting a theory the killing may have occurred during a robbery.

A passerby who first saw Adam thought he might have been passed out and tried to cover him before realizing he was not breathing. Adam is described as a vibrant, loving person whose death devastated his fiancée, young son, and step-children. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Adam, was in the Fountain Square area that night, or has information that could help, please come forward.
