Searched The Entire Town Four Times
After an intensive search, Eaton Police are now suspending the search as they have exhausted all avenues and there is still no lead about Morris. Chief Jay Turner, in a conversation with the Star Press on Monday, March 20, said that the search is coming to an end. “We’ve [searched] the entire town at least four times. We’ve done all the outskirts, we [searched] both the north and south sides of the [Mississinewa] river,” he said.

“We’ve had horses, we’ve had the helicopter with infrared, we’ve had a fixed-wing [Indiana State Police] helicopter, and [the Department of Natural Resources] had boats in the water. We’ve pretty much exhausted everything we can look for in this area. Now we’re hoping for someone to call and give us a tip, and we’ll move on that”, he added.
Eaton police department also posted on Facebook on March 21 saying that they will not be organizing any search as of now.Â

Police Have ‘No New Leads or Information’
Eaton deputy chief Chris Ligett said law enforcement would have a multi-agency meeting on Tuesday to determine next steps in a Facebook update shared shortly after 5 pm on Monday, March 20. He also said that several interviews and polygraphs were conducted, but that police still had “no new leads or information” and were “at a standstill.”
Ligett also commented on the rumours circulating on social media regarding Morris and domestic abuse. Police also shared a full-length photo of Morris in which he looks upset while wearing a white T-shirt with hand-written black ink messages, which included “cheat” underlined and a drawing of a crying face on Morris’s right shoulder. The same white shirt is reportedly believed to be the same one he was wearing when he went missing.
Social media users speculated that the strange shirt along with Morris’ buzzed haircut could potentially indicate abuse at home. However, Ligett said that the young teen’s buzz cut was done at his request a few days before he disappeared and does not mean anything else.
