Suspected human remains found at dig site in Bloomington
- On Friday, March 28, 2025, federal agents conducted a court-authorized law enforcement operation at a residence on the 3000 block of Xavier Court in Bloomington, Indiana, drawing attention from neighbors.
- The operation was prompted by an unspecified investigation, potentially involving evidence gathering, and involved at least nine unmarked vehicles registered in Marion County and several plainclothes officers.
- A Bloomington Police Department officer assisted the FBI at the scene, which property records indicate is owned by a former IU professor who worked in Luddy at Indiana University and was reportedly fired in early March 2025 without explanation to colleagues.
- An FBI spokesperson confirmed the court-authorized law enforcement activity, but provided no further details, while neighbors reported agents arrived around 8:15 a.m. And were seen taking photographs and thoroughly inspecting the area; some neighbors also reported seeing agents with weapons drawn.
- On the Wednesday before the FBI operation, a land-clearing crew discovered human remains in a wooded area on the north side of Bloomington in the 1000 block of West Acuff Road, prompting a police investigation and the involvement of the Monroe County Coroner and a forensic anthropology team from Indianapolis, though the identity of the deceased remains unknown and the investigation is ongoing.
