![]() PUTNAM COUNTY -- The body of a 27-year-old Putnam County man, Robert Sims, was located this morning after a search of Big Walnut Creek spanned a period of several days. "The body was located approximately 3/4 of a mile downstream from where Mr. Sims was last seen by witnesses," Indiana Conservation Officer Max Winchell said, adding no foul play is suspected. Conservation Officers reportedly searched the flooded waters near Filmore the morning the victim was reported missing, Sept. 17. Crews were able to eventually find Sims' kayak. Swift water conditions and heavy fog made search efforts more challenging at the time, according to a Department of Natural Resources law enforcement press release. An autopsy for Sims has been scheduled for tomorrow morning at a Terre Haute hospital. Comments are closed.
