The Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the Neodesha Police Department, and the Wilson County Sheriff's Office make quick work in the case of human remains found last week in a pasture north of Neodesha.

 

 The skeletal remains were discovered on September 24 and have been identified as those of 39-year-old Levi Ellis of Neodesha. KBI agents and officers from NPD developed a suspect in the case and issue an arrest warrant in the case.

 

Yesterday, October 1, 2024, officers from the Broken Arrow Police Department arrested 56-year-old Joseph Ferraro of Neodesha at a hotel in Broken Arrow.

 

Ferraro was booked into the Tulsa County Jail where he awaits extradition to Kansas.

 

The investigation is ongoing.
