Indiana State Police are working with Illinois State Police in trying to identify a male subject who was found deceased nearly a year ago.

On March 10, 2012, the remains of an unidentified adult male were located in rural Newton, Ill. (Jasper County). It is believed the individual could be Caucasian, Asian, Native American or Hispanic/Latino.

The victim is estimated to be between 35 and 50 years of age, and approximately 5’3” to 5’8” tall. The Federal Bureau of Identification completed a facial approximation of how the individual may have looked.

If anyone has information regarding the possible identity of this individual, please contact Sgt. Albert Gallatin at 217-342-2292, ext 207.
