Joseph Nelson, 35, of Martinsville, Indiana, was found dead on February 17, 2014, inside the coal-handling system at the Alcoa aluminum plant in Newburgh. Authorities treated the injuries as inconsistent with an accidental death and quickly opened a criminal investigation into the circumstances of his death.

Investigators developed a timeline placing Nelson that night with Jade Stigall, David Lackey Jr., and Shawn Grigsby, who picked up Matthew McCallister. According to the case, the group drove to a remote location in Warrick County where McCallister allegedly forced Nelson to his knees and shot him. Nelson’s body was then reportedly moved to a train car and left at the Alcoa plant, where it was later discovered.

McCallister was arrested on February 19, 2014, and charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder. At trial, testimony from the other participants led a Warrick County jury to convict McCallister of murder and conspiracy; he was sentenced to life without parole. Grigsby, Stigall, and Lackey later pleaded guilty to lesser charges and received varied sentences.

If anyone knew Joseph’s movements that night or has information about the group’s activities in Warrick County, please share what is known.
