“Indiana’s current wild pig presence is limited to several counties, a population Backs attributes to a single probable source. According to Backs, in the mid-1990s, a resident of Louisiana used wild pigs as a cover to poach Indiana deer: “This guy would haul in wild hogs and release them. He’d hunt deer in the same location at night and when approached, he’d claim he was hunting hogs.”

When I was 16, my first full-time job was at a hog/dairy farm. One of my least favorite jobs was to take the old Farmall M, hitched to a corn bin wagon and go around and feed sows. The corn and pellet feed had to be poured out on a concrete slab to keep it out of the mud, but in one pasture the concrete slab was about 20 yards inside the fence. So, I had to climb the fence, with two 5-gallon buckets of corn and pellets, and wade through 50 squealing, screeching 300 lb sows and get the buckets to the slab without getting them knocked out of my hands, or tripping and falling. I was probably 135 lbs myself at that time.Anyone who's ever lived on or near a hog farm knows they can be deadly.
Hog lots would sometimes be used to dispose of unwanted carcasses.
Hogs will eat just about anything.
I saw them in Lawrence county BEFORE the mid 90’s, and they are STILL hereFrom @Hookeye ‘s post above.

After we got done in the farrowing sheds there were a lot of them that were missing two things.My stepdad grew up on a hog farm. His "favorite" story was when he was around 7 years old, his dad brought him to the barn after a litter (if that's what you call it) of piglets were born. Two of the piglets had defects and were kind of messed up though, like missing legs and eyes, so his dad handed him a 2x4 and told him to get to work bashing their heads in before dinner time.
