Storm Brings Tragedy To 2 Families

The body of Kevin Carman, 13, was found late Wednesday under some debris. A full-scale search was launched after Tucker Graef, 14, was found dead earlier in the day in a large storm drain.

The two boys were out playing Tuesday when the rain and hail came down so fast that the water level almost reached the tops of cars.

The boys apparently were caught in the downpour and drowned in a rain-swollen creek.

Their parents first checked malls and other teen hangouts before calling police late Tuesday and filing a missing persons report early Wednesday morning. The mother of Tucker Graef found her son's body inside a storm drain shortly after noon Wednesday. His body was tangled in wires near an opening of a culvert by Austin Bluff Road and Woodman Road.

She and othe family members were looking for him after police said they wouldn't search because there was no indication that the boys were in danger.

"Unless we have some information the person is in danger or there was foul play involved or their disappearance was suspicious, we are not going to go out and actively look for someone," said police spokesman Lt. Rafael Cintron.

Once Graef's body was found, officials began a full-scale search for Carman.

Carman's body was found hours later about 6.5 miles downstream from where Graef's body was found.

Authorities say it's a tragedy that serves as a warning for everyone.

"I want to encourage parents to tell their kids not to play in the water when there's rain," said Reg Franklin, with the El Paso County Search and Rescue.

The four feet of water that flooded streets is now virtually gone. The sudden storm dumped up to a foot of hail and about an inch of rain in Colorado Springs, trapping dozens of motorists. More than 30 people had to be treated for hypothermia or other injuries.

Meanwhile, in Pueblo, rescue crews searched Wednesday for another 14-year-old boy missing in the Arkansas River. He was on a kayak course when he was flung from a makeshift raft on Monday. Authorities presume Andrew McDaniel is dead.

Gary Micheli of the Pueblo Fire Department said authorities hope to lower the water in the kayak course where McDaniel was last seen, but it could take up to 10 days for the level to drop.

McDaniel, his younger brother and a friend were riding the course on an air mattress when they were dumped into the river. One boy was pulled from the rapids by a kayaker. The other boy managed to make it to the river's edge on his own.
