It turns out, the family had been actively searching for Capps in the area around the woods for a week before the gruesome discovery.
“No family deserves to go through this. This is the worst of the worst that can happen to a family,” said Summers.
“Initially, it started out as a missing persons investigation,” said William Young, an officer with IMPD.
Police reports confirm Capps had been reported missing by her family on June 30.
While police are treating the case as a homicide, they didn’t have any information to share on a suspect or a motive.
“This is an ongoing investigation. Hopefully, as the days progress, we’ll be able to get that information to hold those accountable responsible,” said Young.
“I just hope they find the people that did this. Nobody deserves to be like this ever,” said Summers.
For her part, Capps’ mother pleaded with the public to speak up if they know anything about the unsolved homicide.
“I won’t stop. I don’t care if it’s 10 years or 20 years. I will not stop. Until I die, I won’t stop until we have justice. I will not stop,” said Summers.
