I showed my father the area. I live 25 miles away from him so I only come over on weekends. The town near his home is a very small town with two cop cars...he is going to drive over tomorrow morning and talk to them. They can't look at it in the dark anyway. They will need to get wet to get to it but it won't be hard to find. I didn't touch it with my hands only poked at it with a fishing pole. I'm sure it's not a person but you never know. No missing kids in this area that I've heard about but this creek does cross under a major highway out of Indianapolis. Just strange to me why someone would put a dog or a deer in a garbage bag and toss it in a creek.
