LaPorte County police are asking for your help in locating a person who has committed a sex offender registry violation which is a Class D Felony.
Darell L. Eckwood last registered on March 28, 2013 per the requirement of the Indiana Sex and Violent Offender Registry statutes, but during the course of the April 2013 “Operation Lost Innocence” investigation, officials learned that he was no longer at that residence.
He registered at a home in the 5600 North block of County Road 400 West in Springfield Township and attempts to find him have been unsuccessful.
