Jasper police seek help identifying man in investigation photo

Jasper police are asking Dubois County residents to look at a photo of a man linked to an ongoing investigation and call if they recognize him. The department released only limited public details, but made clear that investigators are still seeking leads and want help identifying the person pictured.

Police said anyone with information should call the Jasper Police Department at 812-482-2255 or submit an anonymous tip through 812-481-COPS. The request did not identify the underlying offense, the date of the incident or any suspect charge.

The appeal fits a familiar role for the Jasper Police Department, which says it serves the City of Jasper with 26 full-time police officers and a 24-hour Real-Time Intelligence and Communication Center, or RTICC. That setup allows officers to move quickly when they need the public’s help identifying a person, vehicle or other clue in an open case.

In recent months, Jasper police have used the same kind of public request in other investigations, including a May 6 appeal tied to vandalism at the Jasper Library, an April 19 request involving three individuals, a Nov. 26, 2025, appeal to identify a vehicle and a Feb. 18, 2025, request involving two males in a theft case at the Jasper Public Library. The latest notice is similarly narrow, with officers asking only for help identifying the man in the photo and not releasing more about the case itself.

For Jasper residents, that makes the photo the key piece of information. A neighbor, co-worker, customer or passerby may recognize the man from the image, remember where he was seen or connect him to a vehicle or timeline that investigators do not yet have. In a city the size of Jasper, that kind of tip can quickly narrow an inquiry and help officers move an investigation forward.
