From Kyle Brown's Facebook page
POPE CO., Ill.---Despite official reports at the scene at about 11:30 last night saying that the first vehicle pulled from One Horse Gap Lake was not Kyle Brown's, it turns out that ONE of the two submerged WAS.
And Kyle Brown's body was indeed found in one of the vehicles.
Sonar was being used on bodies of water yesterday (Friday, April 17), in the area where the search for missing Harrisburg man Kyle Brown was ongoing (Hardin and Pope counties). At One Horse Gap Lake, there was a ping, and ISP was requested to respond and direct a dive team.
Very late last night, reports came in that people wishing to visit the boat ramp and other public accesses of the lake were turned away by state troopers due to the search.
Our sources contacted those present and they confirmed that this might be Brown's vehicle. However...they also reported that there were TWO vehicles submerged in the lake, not just one.
One of those vehicles was pulled to shore at around 11 p.m. Our sources on scene were told this one was not Brown's, despite it being a dark SUV fitting the description of the one he had last been seen driving in late December 2014.
Joel Moore
Apparently, Browns's body WAS in one of the vehicles, as our sources confirmed very early this morning (at about 1 a.m. if we're reading our messages right) that one of the vehicles pulled from the water had his body in it. We have NOT been told which one. We have NOT been told that there is another body. We HAVE been told, late last night, that there was "another man missing from Shawneetown that authorities are aware of." We do NOT know who this would be; there hasn't been a report of anyone from Shawneetown missing that we know of. For all we know, it could be a VERY old case. We have NOT been told that it is missing man Joel Moore. That's not to say that it isn't...it's only to say that we've NOT been TOLD that.
We are awaiting updates by way of return phone calls from officials in the area. When we get those, we will update in a separate post. Keep checking back.
