Volunteers participating in a neighborhood cleanup in Indianapolis Saturday stumbled across possible remains of a woman, Fox59 reports.

Volunteers were picking up trash and cleaning the community in preparation for Earth Day on Sunday, April 22 when the body was found. Homicide detectives were brought in after police responded to a call about the remains.

“It’s a little scary to know that something could have happened so close to home and there’s body evidence or possible evidence of it,” nearby resident Carrie Hawk told Fox59. “So, it’s a little scary. I have two children who I send on the bus and my son walks back and forth using the city bus.”

Another nearby resident Susanne Gill believes the remains may belong to her sister, Jaime Beasley, that went missing Dec. 15, 2017. Beasley was last seen just blocks away from wear the body was found.

“It’s not easy to say that I want it to be her, because I want the peace and I want her laid to rest,” Gill told Fox59. “If that is the case, then at the same time, how could someone do that to anybody and leave them like that.”

Beasley, mother to a 9-year-old girl, went missing while on her way to spend Christmas holidays with friends and family out of town. She never arrived, however, and family filed a missing person’s report and posted signs around Beasley’s neighborhood, People reports.

Jeff Myers, Beasley’s boyfriend, was the last person to see her alive, Beasley’s mother told RTV6 in January.

“It’s very hard cause [Beasley’s daughter] asks her grandma everyday where her mom is. And I know she don’t know what to tell her,” Gill told RTV6 at the time.
