The St. Joseph Police Department continues to investigate a home on Sacramento Street in connection with a body that was found Tuesday in Corby Pond.

Officers were still stationed to monitor a home located at 3509 Sacramento at 11:30 Wednesday and police tape encircles the premises.  According to Capt. Jeff Wilson the home was searched Tuesday night in connection with the body of a man found earlier that day in Corby Pond.

Emily Hendricks lives across the street from the house and told the St. Joseph Post police knocked on her door asking questions about the homeowner Tuesday around 3:30 p.m.

Authorities pulled the body of a white man they believed to be in his mid-40s from Corby Pond just after 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Hendricks said the man who owned the house across from hers looked like he was in his 60s.

“I don’t even know his name,” she said. “My husband and I have lived here for almost three years and we’ve maybe seen him a handful of times.”

Hendricks said the man seemed like a nice older guy but doesn’t think he lived at the location.

“Other neighbors have said that they know that he may own another property that he actually resides at but he’s always fixing this one up,” she said.

Detectives have been seen carrying out garbage bags full of unknown items during the investigation.

Police are expected to make a statement Wednesday to identify the man pulled from Corby Pond.
