Areas all over Owen County continue to be searched including areas near the White River and in proximity to the residence on Jefferson Street. Manhole covers and dumpsters are being searched as well.
Please share that some of our search and rescue teams have been slowed down due to onlookers and cars following too closely to their vehicles. We want to express our concerns that this type of behavior prohibits our search and rescue personnel from doing their job in an efficient manner.
