When deputies arrived, they were informed that the child was last seen around 7:30 p.m. and that all barns and buildings on the property had already been searched.
Utilizing drones equipped with thermal imaging, law enforcement swiftly located the child about half a mile from the house. The child was found uninjured and was safely reunited with the parents.
