The Mysterious Death of Alexander Blake VanDalsen
One year ago today, on February 4th 2021, Alexander Blake VanDalsen was reported missing. Five days later, Alex's body was found 10 miles from his home in Lafayette, Indiana. Authorities were quick to rule his death a suicide, but the details just don't add up. We spoke with Alex's mother, Jennifer VanDalsen, who is still fighting for justice for her son. She shared some major red flags from both the investigation and the autopsy report, and explored some possible reasons why neither the media nor law enforcement seem to be taking Alex's case seriously. Alex was a trans man, could there be transphobia at play? Or is this simply a case of lazy investigators?
