A suitcase containing human remains has been found in southeast Indianapolis.
At around 1:30 p.m. on Monday, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police responded to a call about the remains at the 2500 block of Villa Avenue. Homicide investigators are looking further into the situation.
According to IMPD officer Genae Cook, several people were walking along Bean Creek and came across a suitcase. One of the individuals opened the suitcase to find human remains, she said.
Cook confirmed that the remains do not belong to a baby, but did not have further age, gender or race details.

Authorities told local news outlets they were initially unsure how long the suitcase had been in the creek.
Genae Cook from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department told CBS4: “Maybe someone was sick, maybe there was some other outside influence that made this person die. But never put any remains inside of a suitcase. It’s just a terrible way to treat that [person].”
Police will not release the victim’s identity until their next of kin has been informed, according to CBS4. They asked members of the public with any information pertaining to the incident to call IMPD Homicide Office at 317-327-3475 or Crime Stoppers at 317-262-TIPS.
