On July 7, a resident of a nearby town called 9-1-1, reporting that her two-year-old daughter was missing. The caller reported that her daughter was last seen in or near the driveway about 15 minutes earlier.
Nothing will strike fear into the heart of a parent more than a missing child, and police and other first responders dread such calls because of the potential for an unbearably sad outcome.
Police were on the scene within minutes and launched a search. An officer with a K-9 search dog was dispatched as well.
After a few minutes of searching, the child was located in a upstairs bedroom of the residence, asleep.
