Her father congratulated her and went for a walk.
But after a huge reception that is when a red flag went up when Moparti realized her father hadn't returned.
Moparti said, "Maybe he had a little bit of an unconscious feeling or maybe some kind of dizziness or something. My dad missing is the only thing going on in my head right now, nothing else."
K-9 teams and divers are still searching the surrounding areas near the church. The family says they aren't giving up hope and praying for his safe return.
