PREVIOUS WSJD STORY FROM 9/16/20:
Nearly two years after human remains were found in a field north of Mt. Carmel, the identity of the victim has been released. Today, the Wabash County Coroner’s Office issued a statement identifying the remains as 29 year old Marcus W. Adams of Mount Carmel. Previously, Coroner Shaun Keepes said an autopsy conducted on the skeletal remains did not reveal a definitive cause of death. Further examinations were planned by a Forensic Anthropologist and a Forensic Odontologist to help determine the cause of death.
Master Sergeant Gwendolyn Basinger of ISP’s Department of Criminal Investigations based in Carmi told us late last year that the investigation is being handled by her office and she was “unable to comment on an active and open investigation”. If you have any information regarding the case, you’re asked to contact the State Police.
The body was found near Asbury Chapel just north of the city limits
