About this listen

Joseph Smedley was a 20-year-old student at Indiana University who died under mysterious circumstances. His death was officially declared a suicide, but his family has questioned this ruling.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the death of Joseph Smedley. His body was found in 3-5 feet of water, weighed down with a backpack full of rocks. Is this something he did to himself, or, as his family believes, did someone have a hand in his death?

They did a really good job of telling of this investigation. It is beyond frustrating to comprehend the lack of investigation. The law-enforcement did as a law-enforcement officer of 20 years and counting. It is absolutely not true that just because the corner rules a manner and method of death. It paralyzes the law-enforcement investigation. There have been plenty of cases where the corner has determined manner and cause of death and further investigation by law-enforcement proves something different and the corner changes their report. That is just an excuse for this particular law-enforcement agency to stop investigating. There is a reason why whether it is, they are protecting the college or the fraternity or someone in law-enforcement is protecting someone they know in the fraternity. Either way law-enforcement should continue to investigate or an outside agency should take over the case. The victim here may have in fact drowned, but it was not a suicide. He was definitely murdered or hazed which resulted in his death. I really hope this case is reopened and investigated properly in the family gets the closure they deserve.
