GARY – Two bodies were found in a sport-utility vehicle that belongs to a couple who had gone missing after celebrating their wedding anniversary Jan. 10 in a restaurant in Gary, Ind., police said this evening.
A construction worker was driving by a small creek near Chase and 33rd Streets at about 4 p.m. Monday when he saw a wheel sticking out of the water, said Sgt. Juan Beltran of the East Chicago Police Department.
When police came out to investigate, they discovered the license plate was a match to the missing couple’s vehicle.
There are no rails separating the creek and the roadway, Beltran said. Police said they could not verify that the bodies were identified as Arthur and Latavia Joshua and could only say that two bodies were found.
The cause of death of the two people who were found won’t be determined until an autopsy is completed, Beltran said.
