March 26th, 2008 admin Posted in News |
After a grueling search, a missing autistic child is found just a short distance from her home. Celeste or “Cessie” is believed to have wandered into what neighbors call the creek bottoms near her home on county road 4122 near Lindale. Nearly 200 people joined in a massive search involving 3 fire departments, the Smith County Sheriff’s Department, and ALERT academy cadets from Big Sandy. After nearly 12 hours of searching, the little girl was found in a clump of trees only 400 yards away from her home.
Watching her swing outside was relief to a mother’s heart. Rachel Stevens and her husband call Cessie their daughter after having custody of her since she was six.
