The Indiana State Police is still looking for information that will help them solve the mystery of the boy in the suitcase.
The brightly colored suitcase was discovered in rural Washington County on April 6th.
Inside was the body of an African American child believed to be around
5-years-old. The boy was about four feet tall with short hair and a slim build.
Police have received hundreds of tips, but none that have led to the boy’s identity.

The local organizations joining the Monroe County National Organization for Women include the Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce, IU Student Government, the League of Women Voters, IU Civics Leader Center, IU Political and Civic Engagement, and the IU and Monroe County chapters of the NAACP.
