Moorman and his three children were last seen around 11 p.m. last Wednesday (July 6), the IMPD said in anews releasepublished Sunday.

At the time, Moorman told family that he was going fishing with his kids, NBC affiliateWTHRreported.

Moorman’s family announced a$10,000 rewardfor information about their missing loved ones, the outlet reported Tuesday.

Later that day, officials said four bodies similar in description to the missing persons had been located in the lake.

Family members believe the bottle belongs to Moorman’s youngest child, Kyran, per WXIN. An article of clothing was also found in the area during the search, the outlet reported.

However, the Indianapolis Fire Department Dive Team was not called until Wednesday, when the bodies were found.

The Moorman family has expressed frustration with the IMPD’s response to their missing family members. They believe the area should have been searched earlier,WXINreported.

Moorman’s mother told WTHR on Monday that her family was getting “no help from the detective on this case.”

“He doesn’t feel it’s fit to have cadavers and dogs out here to find my babies,” she told the outlet.

The Moorman family stayed at the scene for hours on Tuesday after hearing of the reported discovery, according to WXIN.

Communication between Moorman’s family and officials got “heated verbally” at times during the search, per the report.

“We’ve been out here alone,” Mariah Moorman, Kyle Moorman’s sister, told WTHR.

PEOPLE has contacted the IMPD for comment.

An investigation into the deaths is ongoing.
