From MCPD Chief Mike McWilliams: On 4/26/25, at 12:24pm, Mt Carmel Police received a report of a missing 62 year old male subject that had failed to return home from mushroom hunting the evening prior in the area between the 3rd Street overpass and the railroad tracks towards Oak Street. After checking the area with no success, MCPD requested assistance from the Wabash County Sheriffs Office, Mt Carmel Fire Department, Allendale Fire Department, Bellmont Fire Department and the Wabash Emergency Management Agency. Emergency responders began a search of the area and, at approximately 3:45pm, members of the Bellmont Fire Department located the individual approximately 1/2 mile northeast of the overpass, approximately 15 feet down a railroad track embankment, with his feet pinned under a fallen tree. It was reported the individual fell down the embankment late yesterday afternoon. Responders and Medics with the Wabash General Ambulance Service worked together to move the individual from the embankment to the ambulance. The subject was still alert and complained of minor injuries. The male was later transported to an area hospital for medical treatment. MCPD would like to thank the involved agencies for their assistance. Wabash County is blessed to have all of it’s emergency response agencies work together in times of need and today was a perfect example.
