Body found in Michigan City identified as 24-year-old LaPorte woman
Bob Kasarda MICHIGAN CITY — Police have identified the woman found dead Wednesday along Meer Road as a 24-year-old LaPorte resident. Ashleigh Blatz was found at 7:25 a.m. about 100 yards south of Freyer Road by a passing bicyclist, police said. An autopsy is to take place Thursday. Police are asking the public for help in determining what happened to Blatz. The woman had been dead long enough for paramedics not to attempt CPR, said Buddy Kasinger, a spokesman for LaPorte County Emergency Medical Service. "In that area, it's pretty much wooded on both sides of road," Kasinger he said. The woman was found without a driver's license or any other identification, said LaPorte County Coroner Bob Cutler. The bicyclist managed to flag down a passing motorist, who called 911, police said. The body was found in the Michigan City police jurisdiction, just inside the city limits. The investigation is being led by Detective Sgt. Ken Havlin, with help from the LaPorte County Sheriff's Department. |

Just by googling in the victims name this appears to be related to either drugs or prostitution.

QUOTE Investigators eventually focused on Charles Williams as being responsible. Williams was charged Friday in LaPorte Superior Court with two counts of dealing a schedule I substance and altering a death scene, all felonies. Police say Williams confessed Thursday to having traded cocaine for sex with Blatz at his home. Williams also admitted giving Blatz heroin that same night, police said. Williams left the room to ingest drugs himself and returned to find her unresponsive, according to court documents, which quote Williams claiming to have tried to revive Blatz, walking her around his the home and pouring salt into her mouth. He allegedly left the house for more than a day before returning and placing Blatz in a rental car. Williams allegedly told police he drove her four miles and placed her body where it was found hours later. Williams was held on $50,000 cash only bond. |
