On August 13, 2018, a decomposing male body was found in a wooded area of the Rangeline Nature Preserve in Anderson, Indiana, just west of Mounds State Park. The Madison County Coroner identified the victim as 36-year-old David Lamar Phillips II, a white male resident of Anderson, and ruled the cause of death two gunshot wounds to the head. Authorities estimated Phillips had been dead since about August 6, 2018.

Investigators linked Phillips’ killing to another homicide when the body of Trinity Parker was found the next day in an abandoned farmhouse in neighboring Grant County. Detectives say four people — Daniel Lee Jones Sr., Jordan Zirkle, Brittney Vontress, and Taylor Wheeler — became persons of interest after officials alleged the group targeted Phillips because Jones believed Phillips had information about the whereabouts of David Roberts, who was connected to Parker’s death. Court documents and reports allege Jones led Phillips onto a trail at the preserve and shot him; Zirkle later told investigators he witnessed Jones shoot Phillips and that Jones threatened the others into participation and silence. All four were arrested and charged in connection with the killings.

Does anyone have information about Phillips’ movements in early August 2018 or recall seeing him near the Rangeline Nature Preserve that week?
