Discovery of a Body in Rural Indiana2:31 – 6:57

Blayne AlexanderCorrespondent

2:31

This place was her refuge, a respite from a weary world.

Blayne AlexanderCorrespondent

2:35

How often do you walk this road?

Jenny ThomasGuest

2:37

Weather permitting, almost daily.

Blayne AlexanderCorrespondent

2:39

This is your normal route.

Jenny ThomasGuest

2:40

Yes, it is.

Blayne AlexanderCorrespondent

2:41

It was mid-April 2020, the early days of the COVID pandemic.

Blayne AlexanderCorrespondent

2:45

The world felt chaotic, but this stretch of road in Noblesville, Indiana, offered peace for Jenny Thomas.

Blayne AlexanderCorrespondent

2:52

So typically, what is it like? I mean, lots of cars, lots of traffic?

Jenny ThomasGuest

2:55

It's rural.

Jenny ThomasGuest

2:56

It's, it is a country road.

Blayne AlexanderCorrespondent

2:58

Friday, April 24th, a beautiful, picturesque day.

Blayne AlexanderCorrespondent

3:02

Jenny was on her usual walk when she happened upon something horrific.

Blayne AlexanderCorrespondent

3:09

You knew immediately what it was.

Jenny ThomasGuest

3:10

Oh, definitely.

Jenny ThomasGuest

3:11

Definitely did.

Jenny ThomasGuest

3:12

I, I knew.

Jenny ThomasGuest

3:14

It was obvious.

Blayne AlexanderCorrespondent

3:15

It was a man's body on the side of the road.

Blayne AlexanderCorrespondent

3:19

Like right in here.

Jenny ThomasGuest

3:20

Yes.

Blayne AlexanderCorrespondent

3:21

Was this body buried at all, or obscured, or just kind of right there out in the open?

Jenny ThomasGuest

3:26

He was just there, laying on his side, like you would think he was asleep.

Jenny ThomasGuest

3:30

I stood here for a second thinking, "Can I help this person?" But it was obvious it was too late for me to help him.

Jenny ThomasGuest

3:35

That's when I knew I needed to go, and I ran.

Blayne AlexanderCorrespondent

3:38

Jenny took off up the street toward the nearest house.
