Irene R. Poindexter, 25, was found dead on Saturday, August 30, 2008, along railroad tracks just south of Southern Avenue and east of East Street in Indianapolis. Two children walking the tracks discovered her naked body and alerted a nearby officer. Responding investigators reported trauma to her upper torso and opened a homicide investigation to determine whether she had been killed at that location or her body had been moved there.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Homicide unit appealed to the public for information. Poindexter, as having been arrested and charged, but contemporary official records and news reports do not corroborate that claim. No further public details about arrests, suspects, or the case resolution are available.

Did anyone in the community have information about Irene, her movements that summer, or what might have happened near those tracks?
