The man found killed at the bottom of an old sand mine on the city's far southwest side has been identified as Nathan Marshall, 31, who had been living in a residence not far from the site where he was found dead...
His body was found wrapped in carpet at the bottom of the J-Pit late Wednesday afternoon by a neighborhood boy who was riding his ATV in the long-vacant sand mine. Sgt. Thomas Decanter said the boy thought it was a deer wrapped up and summoned his father to the scene, who realized it was the body of a man.
Police say family members last saw Marshall on Christmas Day and reported him missing to Gary police on Jan. 23 after his aunt went to check on him. He had been living in the 3000 block of Gerry Street in Black Oak, just about a mile from the site where his body was found. The missing person's report states there were signs of a possible struggle inside the house.
