The search was suspended last night for a possibly missing kayaker.

Indiana Department of Natural Resources conservation officers report that they  suspended search operations at about 7:30 p.m. last night due to the fading daylight and will start again at 8 a.m. this morning.

Authorities say that 26-year-old Keygan Matlock of Bartholomew County told friends and family yesterday that he planned to go kayaking in either the Flat Rock or Driftwood rivers and hasn’t been heard from since. Indiana Conservation officers and Bartholomew County deputies began the search yesterday morning after he failed to return home overnight. His blue/black/yellow kayak is missing from his home.

Matlock is 5’8′ tall and weighs 130 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. He was last known to be in the Tannehill Trailer Park area and is believed to be wearing a bright yellow coat with a black and yellow stocking cap.
