MISSING TWO YEAR OLD – Emma Sweet
On November 26, 2021 at approximately 5:59 a.m., Bartholomew County Deputies were dispatched to the 1700 block of Blessing Road in regards to a truck that had been located in the east fork of the White River by duck hunters.
The duck hunters located a truck in the White River that was submerged with one occupant. The occupant was transported by EMS to Columbus Regional Hospital where he is being treated for exposure of hypothermia. During the course of the investigation, it was learned that the individual had his two year old daughter with him.
They were reported as missing the day prior, but it is unknown if she was in the vehicle at the time of the location by the duck hunters. The vehicle was actually located at a farm lane at the end of Beatty Lane. Both individuals were last seen on Wednesday, November 24 at 12:00 p.m. If you have had contact with either of them since then, please contact emergency personnel immediately.
