INDIANAPOLIS — Indy police are investigating two separate deaths along Mitthoeffer Road within days of one another. Both people killed were women and their bodies were found only a few hundred yards apart.
Last Saturday morning, officers with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department were called to the 2200 block of N Mitthoeffer Rd. just between I-70 and 21st St. for a report of a dead body.
Upon arrival, in the parking lot of a dentist’s office at 2236 North Mitthoefer Road, IMPD discovered the body of Shannon Lassere, 58, stabbed to death.
An employee of a nearby business told FOX59/CBS4 she was driving to work around 9 a.m. Saturday when she spotted Lassere’s body lying in a parking lot just off of Mitthoeffer.
