The search for a missing person in Lawrence County, Indiana, ended in tragedy Tuesday morning after authorities located a vehicle submerged in floodwaters.

According to the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office, 35-year-old Jesse Brock of Leesville had been reported missing on Sunday after last being seen Saturday night in Paoli while traveling toward his home. Location data later indicated that Brock’s phone had last registered near Earl Road and Lawrenceport Road around 10 p.m., an area that had been heavily impacted by flooding.

Over the next two days, an extensive search effort was launched involving deputies from the sheriff’s office, Indiana Conservation Officers, and the Indiana State Police.
