HAMMOND â Search efforts for a missing 12-year-old boy were called off Friday night, with plans to resume on Saturday morning, police said.
Kyrin Carter was reported missing last weekend from a local Best Western hotel where he was staying with family members.
Around 9:15 p.m. Hammond police Lt. Steven Kellogg said the search was called off for the night and nothing had been found. He said multi-agency search efforts will continue Saturday morning.
He said someone had contacted police Friday evening saying they had seen something in the river, prompting a search and dive response.
Searchers came with horses and four-wheelers to aid in the efforts Thursday. Anna Ortiz, The Times
HAMMOND â Five days after 12-year-old Kyrin Carter went missing, the Little Calumet River and Hammond hotel he was last seen leaving is lined with hundreds of shiny pink balloons. As Thursday came to a close, the sun set on another day of continued search efforts.
Family members said pink was his favorite color, and they hope the balloons will draw him out where he can be spotted in the open.
For fellow searchers, the balloons serve as a reminder that Kyrin remains in the minds of a community that hasnât given up hope.
The search marked a continuation of so far fruitless efforts to find the boy. Hammond police are still focusing their efforts on the Little Calumet River.
