Looper’s body was discovered on February 14, 2024, on a private beach off of Lakeshore Drive between West Side County Park and Pier Cove Park in Ganges Township.
Sally Tyler, a resident of the area, recounted to FOX 17 how she was enjoying her morning coffee on her back deck with her dog Cody when she noticed something unusual on the beach. “I thought it was an animal on the beach, and then I kind of realized it wasn’t,” Tyler said. She walked down to the beach, keeping a safe distance, to confirm that she was indeed seeing the body of a man. “Then I immediately ran up and called the police.”
When Looper’s body was found, he was completely unclothed, except for a pair of size 12 brown Converse All Star shoes/boots.
