The body of a missing Evansville man has been recovered from a retention pond in Warrick County. WNIN's John Gibson reports:
The victim has been identified as 67-year-old Joseph Lucia Jr.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources says Lucia was reported missing on July 7th.
Information from a phone app indicated his last known location was near a pond behind the Boonville Walmart.
On Saturday, the Warrick County Sheriff’s Department deployed a drone and it detected what appeared to be a vehicle in shallow water.
Fire department divers confirmed a vehicle was submerged in the pond, and Tri-State Towing later removed it from the water with Lucia’s body inside.
The circumstances leading to Lucia’s vehicle entering the pond are still under investigation, but investigators do not suspect foul play.
