Billy Joe Marshall was 36 when he was last seen in Ashley, a small DeKalb County community in Indiana, on April 12, 1974. The scarcity of contemporaneous detail is striking given how ordinary the setting appears to have been.

Billy was described as White, brown hair, blue eyes, about 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall and 190 to 200 pounds. A distinctive identifying feature is an artificial right eye. NamUs lists him under MP12952 and links the case to the Indiana State Police District 22 in Fort Wayne; his name also appears in other case-awareness listings using the same NamUs number and April 12, 1974 disappearance date.

If anyone remembers Billy, his daily routines, or saw him in Ashley around April 12, 1974, please share information with the Indiana State Police contact for this case.
