The body of a 44-year-old Bloomington man who had been missing for more than two weeks was found over the weekend.
A neighbor found Troy Richardson’s body in the woods near his stepmother’s home on South Knightridge Road, according to a press release from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources’ Law Enforcement Division.
Indiana Conservation Officers are now investigating Richardson’s death, and an autopsy will be scheduled to identify how he died.
Richardson was initially reported missing to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office on Jan. 13.
He was reported last seen outside of his stepmother’s home in southeast Monroe County, according to the release.
“It was not unusual for Mr. Richardson to be away from home for several days without contact, however after two weeks many family members and friends became very concerned and began searching the area for him,” the release stated.
