COLUMBUS, Ind. — The Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) is still seeking tips in the investigation of a local man, Joey Ross, who disappeared in May 2018.
On Sunday, May 13, 2018, Joseph (Joey) William Ross went missing from 51 S. Amherst Place, in Amberley Addition. Ross was reportedly last seen with a shotgun, walking down the driveway from the house, between 7 and 7:30 p.m., into the dark. He was said to possibly be suicidal.
Gunshots were heard that night, but searches of the area found no shotgun, shells, or signs of Ross. He was last known to be wearing a green work shirt with an O’Reilly’s logo and blue jeans. He allegedly had no phone or money in his possession when he disappeared.
Bartholomew County Sheriff Matt Myers says one of his biggest regrets, as he ends his second and final term as sheriff, is not locating Ross, who was then 25 years old.
“My office has and will continue to actively investigate this case in hopes of providing answers to the Ross family. The investigation will remain open until we find Joey,” said Sheriff Myers.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Joey Ross, call detective Holderness at 812-565-5927 or the BCSO anonymous tipline at 812-379-1712.
