POLICE have confirmed the dead body of a man has been found in the water near the possibly last known location of a father and his three children, who disappeared during a fishing trip.
Kyle Moorman, 27, and his three young children were last seen in Indianapolis† Indianaon Wednesday, July 6, 2022.
Indianapolis police wouldn’t say who the person is, but Moorman’s family said his Google account was pinged in that area at Bluff and Troy.
Officer Samone Burris confirmed that the body of an unresponsive adult man was found in the water, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The public has been asked to avoid the 2900 block of Bluff Road while police continue their investigation.
Police said the identity of the man who was pulled from the water would be released by the coroner. The Sun’s requests for information from the Marion County office were not immediately answered Tuesday night.
Kyle Sr told relatives he was taking Kyle Moorman II, five; Kyannah Holland, two; and the one-year-old Kyran Holland to fish along the White River.
There were reports that the family was seen on a Cracker Barrel in Whitestown on Sunday, July 10, but they were later debunked.
Now relatives of the family have said they are concerned for their safety.
Moorman’s mother, Natasha Hayes, told… Fox59: “This is not like him.”
“He wouldn’t let us worry so much, not if he had all three babies.”
She added: “My grandson has to take medication, he has a chronic cough with asthma.
“He and I are very close; he’s never done this before.”
She continued, “I don’t see him interacting with anyone in his family.”
“He would have gotten help if he was able, that’s what worries me.
“Something is not right. Something is wrong. I really feel in my stomach.”
Moorman’s mother added: “I think he is injured, and we just don’t know where he is injured, we don’t know where he is.
“If we can find where his car is, maybe that can lead us to where he and those babies are.”
According to local reports, the Moorman family was last seen in a 2009 black four-door Saab.
Kyle’s sister, Mariah Moorman, helped other family members search a pond on Monday, July 11.
She said The Indy Star: “As far as we know, he came here to go fishing. He told my sister.
‘It is not strange. He does it all the time. They go fishing a lot at night.’
She added: “Three children are missing. This is unreal.”
