A 4-year-old girl was safely returned home after she disappeared in the woods while walking her dog and wasn't found for two days.
Every parent’s nightmare is something happening to their child, and for one family, that fear became a reality. Evelyn Sides, who goes by the nickname Vadie, wasLucy, along with a 70-year-old caretaker, around 2:30 in the afternoon Wednesday when sheLee County Sheriff’s Office representative Andrew Peacock, told Al.com thatand said the 4-year-old girl was at a location that she was familiar with but was not near her home.
“They are searching very thoroughly,’’ Peacock said. “We will continue to search until we find her.” On Friday, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office put a call out for additional volunteers, and more than 400 people responded to that call. With more people looking in the area where Vadie was last seen, the volunteers searched the “dense wooded terrain.”Vadie was found by a volunteer searcher Friday afternoon, along with her dog, less than a mile away from where she went missing.
According to Vadie, she and her dog Lucy got separated at one point but were able to find each other.. “I slided, slided down a waterfall … I was brave not to go in,” although the dog ran away, the little girl said. “I found her because I was going the right direction, because I could smell. I slept by a road one, the first night, and … and the second night I slept where they found me.”
He told AI.com that he and his team were aware that this story had the potential to turn a different way. “Having been in this business for a long time, that’s always in the back of your mind that things may not end well,’’ he said. “Obviously, the longer period of time that goes by, the more that creeps into your thoughts.
