IMPD's Missing Persons Detectives are looking for the community to help locate 27-year-old Kyle Moorman and his three children, 5-year-old Kyle Moorman II, 2-year-old Kyannah Holland and 1-year-old Kyran Holland after they were last seen in the 1000 block of South Sherman Drive on Wednesday, July 6th around 11p.m.
Moorman's family tells WRTV before leaving, he told them he was going fishing. They noted he didn't bring any extra clothes or diappers.
In a release, IMPD describes Moorman as 5’10", 125 pounds, with brown hair, and hazel eyes. Kyran Holland is described as 2’6”, 25 pounds, with blonde hair, and blue eyes. Kyannah Holland is described as 2’0”, 15 pounds, with blonde hair, and blue eyes. Kyle Moorman II is described as 3’7”, 40 pounds with blonde hair, and blue eyes.
Police add Kyran was last seen wearing a diaper and a striped shirt, while Kyannah was last seen wearing a striped pink and blue romper.
"We have things we haven't heard anything. He just would not do this. He would not — Kyle would not do this to me, he wouldn't worry me. He knows I would panic," Renee Moorman, Kyle's mother and the children's grandmother, said.
Family members tell WRTV 5-year-old Kyle Moorman II has asthma and a "chronic cough." IMPD notes at least one of the children is in need of medical assistance.
“I’m scared. I’m scared I’m gonna lose my babies. I know how it feels to lose a child. I want him home. I want my babies home," Renee Moorman said.
Throughout the weekend, family said they searched along the White River for Kyle and the three children. It is an area he frequents for fishing, according to family. Renee said this was uncharacteristic of her son and said he has never done something like this before.
"Everybody be vigilant around any type of fishing area. On the Southeast side of Indianapolis from Christian Park area, down to White River on all the fishing hot spots," Donald Jones, Kyle's uncle, said. He continued, "He was right at the Christian Park area to Fountain Square into downtown to Washington and State Street to Raymond. You know that those are Kyle's areas. That's where the family is. These are the, you know, the visual hot spots that we need everybody looking for."
