HAMMOND, Ind. (AP) - Authorities say a body found in a wooded area of Gary is that of a 28-year-old man who had been missing for almost a month.
The Times reports (http://bit.ly/2fhmxt7 ) Michael J. Washington of Gary was last seen getting in to a vehicle on Sept. 30.
A tree trimming crew discovered his body Friday morning while working on a dead-end street on Gary's west side.

Police had asked for the public's help in finding Washington after he went missing, saying they had exhausted all leads.
