MOM VANISHES

Following the disappearance of Ariana, authorities are searching for the Northwest Indiana woman near I-65 in Gary.

Ariana’s vehicle was discovered to have crashed off of the interstate, but the young woman has yet to be found.

The SUV, according to Gary Police Commander Jack Hamady, “had to be doing 80-plus mile per hour,” an ABC affiliate reported.

He added: “It did not look like that individual used the brakes at all.

“Went down into a ravine and came to a stop, and had flat tires. Was she being chased? Was she just intoxicated? We’re not sure.”

Despite the car belonging to Ariana, there is no evidence she was in the vehicle at the time of the crash.

REPORTS OF A BODY

Just one week after Ariana went missing, police received a report of a dead body in a remote area.

According to The Times of Northwest Indiana, the information had been released about a body being located near Lake Street and 15th Avenue in Gary, Indiana.

The “body” had been wrapped up in a sheet, police said.

Officials said an investigation was initiated at approximately 2.40pm on April 10 following a report of a body in a grassy area.

The report was made when a working NIPSCO employee called 911, The Lake County coroner’s office said.

However, the investigation was later confirmed to be a “false alarm,” Coroner David Pastrick stated.

LIFE-SIZE DOll

Officials said late Sunday that the “body” in question was ultimately determined to be a “life-sized silicone/rubber type female doll.”

According to Fox 32 Chicago, Lake County Coroner David J. Pastrick stated: “On Sunday… the Lake County Coroner’s Office responded to what we were advised of being a death scene.

“Lake County Dispatch was notified by a Nipsco employee doing work in the area of 15th Ave and Lake St in the city of Gary.

“The investigation turned out to be a false alarm. The body turned out to be not human and was a lifelike mannequin.”

SUV CRASHED

On April 5, Gary PD said a foot search was conducted around where the vehicle crashed, along with an aerial search by the Lake County Sheriff helicopter.

The police stated: “The Lake County Sheriff’s Department took a missing persons report for Ariana on the evening of April 3, 2022 from her residence in their jurisdiction.

“Ariana Taylor was then reported missing to the Gary Police Department on April 4, 2022.

“Officer foot searches, K-9 searches, helicopter, ATV and dive searches have been conducted with no results. Area hospitals were contacted, also with no results.”

Ariana’s mom was the first to report her missing as she last saw her daughter before she left for a girl’s night out, NBC 5 reports.

BLOODY CLOTHES

Members of Ariana’s family have revealed some bloody articles of clothing located nearby the crash scene.

A piece of Ariana’s jewelry was also reported to be found.
