A 2-Year-Old Girl Went Missing — Then a Trooper Spotted Something Pink on the Mountain
One of every parent’s worst fears is having their child disappear.
That nightmare became reality when a 2-year-old girl vanished from her home in New York.
Trooper Brian Hotchkiss joined the search. Officers checked nearby homes and searched the surrounding area, but there was no sign of the little girl.
As darkness approached, Hotchkiss knew they had to act quickly. Near the girl’s home was a wooded mountain with streams and thick trees.
He climbed to the top, hoping to get a better view.
At first, he saw nothing but trees.
Then he noticed something unusual.
A tiny pink spot in the distance.
The girl had been wearing a pink shirt.
Hotchkiss immediately headed toward it.
And there she was—the missing 2-year-old, alone in the woods.
What happened next during the rescue was something the trooper said he would never forget.
