Louisville, Ky (WDRB) -- Police in Austin, Indiana believe they may have found the body of Paul Graupe.  The body was found in a home on West Main Street last night.

Graupe disappeared three years ago.  He went missing days before Thanksgiving in 2009, when he went to a friend's house to collect a debt. 

An autopsy will likely be performed this morning, but police are being tight-lipped about other details.

Paul Graupe Sr. was a retired New Jersey police officer, and Graupe's family has been very critical about the way the case was handled.

The family had been offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in this case.
