WHERE IS 3 YEAR-OLD CHRISTOPHER?
Drone operators change the battery in a drone flying above the search area without any luck so far.
I was hoping I would be standing in Grimes County this morning reporting good news. Sadly, it’s been over 40 hours now since a neighbor says they saw 3 year-old Christopher Ramirez follow a dog into the woods. The dog came back out, Christopher never did.
The Sheriff said last night, just before 8pm they had completed their 5th coordinated search of the entire area, going grid by grid. Still there are no new leads, no signs, and no clues as to where the toddler is. His mother says she looked down only for a second. She says her son never walks off and never leaves their property. She screamed his name and then immediately called police. As a mother myself, I get choked up having to share this story on tv. It’s a parents nightmare. She believes he was taken. Authorities say they have no reason to believe that is what happened.
Here is a recap of what we know:
•The sheriff stressing this is still a rescue and not a recovery search
•Around noon Wednesday the family had just returned home, Christopher’s mom believes her son was playing with the neighbors dog.
•Authorities say a neighbor saw the toddler follow the dog into the woods.
•The mom screamed for him and called 911
•Grimes Co. Sheriffs office, volunteers, FBI, 8 fire departments, TDCJ dogs, drones and helicopters are all searching around the clock
•Investigators collected video surveillance from neighbors homes, checked neighborhood cars, pools
•They drained a pond in the woods
•They do not suspect foul play
•It was just the mother and grandmother. (Step dad was at work, biological dad is in Mexico)
•The woods are very dense and hard to get through
•At one point dogs picked up his scent and lost it according to authorities
•Christopher was only wearing a t-shirt
A local emergency alert has been issued and they are asking anyone who might know anything to call 911.
We are all praying for Christopher
