Travis Kyle Woodruff, 33, was found dead in his Odon, Indiana, home from a shotgun wound on February 17, 2015. A North Daviess High School and Vincennes University graduate, he had worked 12 years at Cornelius Manufacturing before joining his family’s farm and was known locally for camping, fishing and hunting. His death was ruled a homicide and the Daviess County Sheriff’s Department opened an immediate investigation.

Investigators identified 40-year-old Jefferey Dyer of Odon as a person of interest. Dyer disappeared after Woodruff’s death and was located by law enforcement in Baldwin County, Alabama, when officers attempted a traffic stop. Dyer pulled over and then fatally shot himself inside his truck. Authorities recovered a shotgun and shells from Dyer’s vehicle and Daviess County investigators went to Alabama to collect evidence to present to the prosecutor and coroner. The motive for Woodruff’s killing remains unclear.

If anyone has information about Travis, his movements in February 2015, or contacts between him and Jefferey Dyer, please come forward.
