Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating after the bodies of a Rossville couple were located at the campground at McCormick’s Creek State Park.

The victims have been identified as Brett Kincaid, 53, and Wendy Kincaid, 47, both of Rossville, Indiana. 

Severe storms hit the area of McCormick’s Creek State Park in Owen County causing severe damage to the area, specifically the campground.  Immediately following the storm and throughout the next day, responders searched the area attempting to confirm everyone was able to reach safety. 

After being notified of two campers being unaccounted for, additional searches of the property were conducted and the bodies of the victims were discovered.

Responding Indiana State Police troopers focused on assisting the Owen County Sheriff’s Department, several Owen County Fire Departments, Owen County Emergency Services, and Indiana Conservation Officers with checking the park for potentially injured campers who were in various camp sites during the severe storm.  Found campers were evacuated from the campgrounds with assistance from the Spencer-Owen County School Corporation, who supplied a bus to help with the transport. 

Owen County Sheriff Ryan White reported power outages throughout the county including Spencer and Gosport.

Lawrence and Monroe counties reported downed trees while Morgan County reported downed trees and power lines which included loss of power in Martinsville. High winds also caused severe damage to buildings in Martinsville.
