Search still on for missing Indianapolis family
27 year-old Kyle Moorman of Indianapolis is still missing, along with his 3 children, ages 5,2, and 1. The search continues after nearly a week of no contact from Norton. They were last seen on Wednesday, July 6th on Sherman Drive in Indianapolis, in a 2009 black Saab.
Norton had believed to taken his children fishing to a lake on the Southside of Indianapolis off of Bluff Road, which is the last trace authorities are able to obtain from his phone, which has not been turned on since early Thursday morning. Family members have found a bottle which belonged to one of the children, along the lake’s bank.
Indianapolis Police urge those with information to call 911, immediately.
