“First & foremost, we want to thank everyone who has volunteered as well as the agencies who have devoted their time and efforts to search for Scottie,” the Eaton Indiana Police Department said. “We want to also thank everyone for the outpouring of support during the search! We had so many people and businesses donate food, drinks, flashlights, hand warmers, etc.”
In a follow-up post, the Eaton Indiana Police Department said that they would not be partaking in a search party for Morris on Sunday “because we will have helicopters from the Indiana State Police using their infrared cameras.”
They noted, however, that should people want to search for Morris on their own, they should “refrain from wooded areas, tree lines, rivers, etc as this will only hinder the investigation while they’re in the air searching.”
Speaking with WRTV, Eaton Indiana Deputy Police Chief Chris Ligget said, “It’s impressive how many people have come together, so quickly.”
“We just want to make sure he’s brought home safe,” he added of Morris.
Eaton Police Chief Jay Turner, meanwhile, told WTHR it was “all hands on deck” as multiple people came forward to aid in the search for Morris.
“We are a small department,” he explained. “We have four regular officers and 18 reserves. Our reserves and our regulars volunteered their time to come in and do these searches. I’m very pleased how we came together — fire department, EMS, police department.”
“I want this young man to know we are not here to make sure he’s in trouble. We want to help him and make sure he’s safe,” Turner added to the outlet. “We’ve taken this seriously from the very beginning, and we’re going to continue to investigate until we find him.”
A search party is currently scheduled to reconvene again on Monday morning to look for Morris on foot, police said.
Anyone with information tied to Morris’ disappearance is asked to call the Eaton Police Department at 765-396-3297.
