No kidding. This is not what I wanted to see at all. I’m heartbroken.

There is definitely a difference between autism and high functioning autism. It appears that this young boy might not have had high functioning autism. I say that because of his age that I’m surprised he was that eager to go into the water. I’m curious to know what his experience with swimming had been in the past? Was it something fun and so he thought he would go swimming?

That's one reason I asked the questions I did, whether as they get older, they become more aware of the dangers, etc. LE said above he was highly functional and at his age, I thought it would be a lot of reason for hope that he would not go in the water.

Could he have thought it shallow and that he would wade? Maybe his experience with a creek or river somewhere he thought that?

Tragic ending

‘I need to get out there’: Volunteer refused to stop and found missing KC boy’s body​

A volunteer kayaker spent hours over the past week searching an Indiana river for a missing 12 year-old boy from Kansas City.

Monday evening, he made the discovery he dreaded, but nearly everyone expected.

Brian Smith found the body of Kyrin Carter in the water near the Hammond, Indiana, hotel he wandered away from last week.



“I heard about this story and I wanted to come out and spend my time to find the missing child,” Smith said during a news conference Tuesday morning.

Smith said he started by searching the the riverbank, but noticed plenty of other volunteers had the same idea. That’s when he decided to take a different approach.

“I had a kayak and access to water. I did that all week,” Smith said. “Speed up and down the river.”

No one found Kyrin, but the volunteers didn’t quit. Smith returned to the water Monday after working a 12-hour shift.

“I thought, I need to get up there again. I dropped the kayak in about 3 p.m. bring the thing down the river, stopped a couple of times,” Smith said. “Then it started to get dark outside, so I figured, I’ll take one more pass.”

That’s what needed to happen. Smith located Kyrin’s body in an area of the river he’s already been through multiple times.

Searchers called police and officers flew drones over the area. After they determined it was Kyrin’s body, divers entered the water to retrieve him.

Searchers and police said it wasn’t the outcome they’d hoped for, but they were glad to do what they could to help Kyrin’s family.
