Joseph Capps, 23, of Indianapolis was identified from skeletal remains found in a strip of woods along I-465 near the eastbound ramp to southbound U.S. 31 on the city’s south side. Officers searched roughly 75 feet into the brush between the Super 8 Motel and the ramp after a tip; police said earlier calls had reported a possible body in that area but initial searches did not locate it.

Medical information released through local reporting indicates Capps died of a blow to the head and that his remains were dumped near the interchange. No suspect or arrest has been announced. A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered and investigators asked the public for anonymous tips.

Did anyone in that part of south Indianapolis see or hear anything that morning or in the days before the remains were found?
