The body of toddler Emma Sweet was found on Sunday after a three-day search of the White River.
The 2-year-old was found 2.5 miles downstream from where her father was found alive by duck hunters. He was taken to a hospital to be treated for the cold after he was submerged in the White River.
Jeremy Sweet has been placed on a police hold and remains in the hospital.
The ongoing investigation into Emma Sweet's death is listed here.
When did Emma Sweet go missing?
The search for the missing toddler began after a pickup was partially submerged in the White River.
Jeremy Sweet is in critical condition at Columbus Regional Hospital, where he is being treated for cold and frost bite.
The girl might have been with her father at the time the truck went into the water, but she was not found in the vehicle. The toddler's mother reported her missing on Thanksgiving Day, a day before Jeremy and the truck were found.
The father's pickup was found in the river.
The pickup that was removed from the river did not have anything that would help the investigation.
The coat of Emma Sweet was found by people searching the banks of the river.
The 2-year-old was found.
Rescue workers found Emma Sweet's body 2.5 miles downstream from where the duck hunters discovered Jeremy Sweet and the truck.
Her body was next to a pile of debris.
The search was aided by more than 14 agencies, including the Bartholomew County Sheriff's Department.
The agencies used drones and foot patrols to search the area, and an ISP helicopter was deployed on multiple occasions, according to the sheriff. The toddler was being searched for by divers at all times.
"We had the resources we needed to locate this girl," he said. There is a bit of comfort knowing that we have her now, even though my heart goes out to the family and friends.
The water in the river was not moving fast, according to the captain of the Department of Natural Resources. There were small debris piles in the water, and the broad search area was taxing on rescue workers.
The toddler's cause of death will be determined by the Coroner's Office.
How did Jeremy Sweet's truck end up in the river?
The details of how the truck got into the river are under investigation.
Jeremy Sweet gave investigators conflicting stories and basically gave two different stories as to what happened.
The 39-year-old told investigators he was with his daughter when they drove off the embankment. Sweet initially told police he had dropped his daughter off somewhere prior to the incident, but later said the girl was with him at the time he went into the water.
Jeremy had given conflicting stories to our detectives. It made us believe that she was in the water with him.
A vehicle can be driven into the river near where the truck was found, but a driver would have to go off the road and drive over a barrier to get into the water.
Three miles downstream of her father's truck, the body of toddler Emma Sweet was found.
"That is something that is being looked at, because it is not a scenario where you can accidentally drive into it," he said.
What is going on with Emma Sweet's father?
Jeremy Sweet will be taken to the jail once he leaves the hospital, according to Myers.
After he was rescued from the truck, police found a needle and drug paraphernalia on him, and he was out on bond for possession of methamphetamine and a gun.
He was placed on a hold so that the sheriff's office could continue to investigate and get their reports over to the prosecutor's office.
According to a search of public court records, no charges had been filed against Jeremy Sweet in connection to his daughter's death.
What is Emma's family saying?
Bryan O' Neal thanked law enforcement officials and the community for their help in finding Emma Sweet.
He said that he appreciated what agencies had done to find Emma and bring her home.
The community's "outpouring of love and support" was a factor in finding the toddler.
