Richard Maedge’s body found in Illinois home

Richard Maedge appears in missing photos shared by the Troy Police Department

Richard Maedge appears in missing poster photos shared by the Troy Police Department. The deceased man died by suicide and was found several months later, by his wife, in a closet in their home in a mummified state.

An Illinois coroner recently attempted to make sense of how the body of a missing man was found several months later inside of his own home.

Richard Maedge, 53, from Troy, Illinois – part of the St. Louis metro area in neighboring Missouri – was reported missing by his wife, Jennifer Maedge, on April 27, 2022. The widow discovered his body on Dec. 11, 2022, the Troy Police Department said.

Jennifer Maedge told police that she last spoke with her husband the day before he vanished. She said he called her and told her he was leaving work early. But, it seemed, he never returned home that day. Her husband was gone – but he left his wallet, keys, and car.

“The case is still under investigation by the Troy Police Department and the Madison County Coroner’s Office,” the department said the day after the sad find in a statement reported by local Fox affiliate KTVI. “An autopsy has been scheduled for a later date and time.”
