Need Identification for this snake!

My boyfriend picked up this wild caught snake in 2008 at Maconaquah Park
Peru, Indiana in Miami County. She was found in a wooded area.
The snake has to be either an odd colored eastern ribbon snake, some species of garter snake, or a northern brown snake with no neck band.
These photos are of the snake DECEASED. They are not graphic in any way but just a warning.
She died recently and we would like to know if anyone can identify her for us.
Thanks for any help!

Anyone have any ideas?!

I was going to say something earlier, but did not want to yap with no real morphological knowledge.

Just looks like a garter to me, especially with the bit of red in its side.

Hopefully, someone can give you something more concrete.

Since you have the snake and pics...

I would think it's an eastern Garter.

I'd have to agree with Garter.

Yes, I also agree that it is a Garter.

Yay! ok great! thanks guys!
Poor girl will greatly be missed.
He had her converted to rodents within a few weeks and she ate like a champ. She escaped from her enclosure and we found her and she died just weeks after. Were not sure what happened.
So is there a name for her color? do garters have morphs?

Thamnophis sirtalis

Edit: Garters do have morphs and subspecies, but what you have right there is a plain jane eastern garter.
