UPDATE: Possible leads in Kyrin Carter search yield no results; rumor of sighting debunked

HAMMOND — As police followed up on leads Wednesday in the search for Kyrin Carter, the 12-year-old boy who went missing over the weekend from a local hotel, his father pleaded for his safe return. 
"At this point, I feel my son has been taken and I need to know the next steps to get my son back," Leslie Carter said Wednesday. "We've walked this whole area. They've been out here with drones, helicopters, dogs. There's been over 2,000 people out here. He didn't just vanish. It's been over five days." 
Hammond police spent Wednesday searching the banks of the Little Calumet River starting at 5 a.m., with assistance from several local agencies and many volunteer searchers, said Lt. Steve Kellogg. Kyrin, who has autism, was last seen Saturday at the Best Western, which sits near Cline Avenue and Interstate 80/94. A statewide Silver Alert was issued for him that day.
