Last updated on Thursday, August 9, 2018

(COLUMBUS) - Bartholomew County Sheriff deputies continue to search 25-year-old Joseph Ross of Brownstown.

Ross was reported missing on May 13.

Police say Ross was involved in a domestic dispute with his fiance in Brownstown before he disappeared. He was picked up from Brownstown by his friend and taken to the Columbus home.

Brian Ross, his father, says Joseph was afraid he would be going to jail because of the domestic dispute.

Ross was last seen around 8 p.m. entering a wooded area on County Road 250 East and Cliffy Creek at Amberley Addition in Columbus with a friend's 12-gauge shotgun. He has not been seen since.
