Jeremy Myles Johnson, 23, disappeared from Gaston, Indiana, in October 2014. He enjoyed fishing and spending time outdoors with family and friends. For eight months his family searched and circulated posters before remains were found in June 2015 in a wooded lot on Dearborn Avenue in Indianapolis; decomposition prevented immediate ID. A forensic artist reconstructed tattoos on the remains and two weeks later those tattoos were matched to Jeremy, at which point the missing-person investigation became a homicide inquiry.

Detectives developed leads that pointed to a man named Martis Kirkland. Friends said Jeremy had become involved in the drug world and allegedly stole drugs and a television from Kirkland. Witnesses reported Kirkland told friends he had taken care of Jeremy. Investigators say Kirkland lured Jeremy to a house and shot him in the back of the head, then gave Jeremy’s white Camaro to another person. Kirkland was arrested and charged with Jeremy’s murder in July 2015.

If anyone knew Jeremy’s movements in October 2014 or has information about the events leading up to his death, please share what is known.
