The Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department is asking the public for assistance in the identification of a woman’s body found by a kayaker on a sand bar in the East Fork of White River at Columbus, Indiana. Information released by the Sheriff’s Department included that the body is that of a white woman in her late 40s to early 50s. She is about 5 feet, 2 inches tall and 135 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes. She was wearing blue jeans, a blue jacket, and a T-shirt that reads, “Las Vegas Nevada Athletic Dept.” She has two scars that could assist in identification.
Authorities have requested that anyone with information of a person who may be missing and matches this description is asked to call Indiana Conservation Officers Central Dispatch, 812-837-9535, or Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Dane Duke, 812-343-0707.
Indiana’s Bicentennial was celebrated in 2016. As part of the celebration, fiberglass statues of bison were made available to each of Indiana’s counties. Local artists decorated them with themes and scenes of the local area and features. We have seen several of these during our travels around the state, and our trip to Batesville today was no different.
