Just before 10 p.m., IMPD confirmed divers from the Indianapolis Fire Department recovered a man’s body from the water, where family members say Moorman’s phone last sent out a signal the night of Thursday, July 7.

After divers from the Indianapolis Fire Department and the Department of Natural Resources located the man’s body, they found a vehicle in pond. According to IMPD Asst. Chief Chris Bailey, three small children were found dead inside the vehicle, which matched the description of the car Moorman was driving when he was last seen.

Moorman told his family he and his three children, 5-year-old Kyle Moorman II, 2-year-old Kyannah Holland and 1-year-old Kyran Holland, were going fishing at 11 p.m. on Wednesday, July 6, but they haven’t been seen since.

His family was at the pond with police Monday night. Monday night, police said there were no tracks seen heading toward the water and did not call for a dive team. IMPD did confirm Monday night that a baby bottle was found near the water, which they collected for potential evidence.
