BREAKING: Missing 1-year-old found in canal a half mile from home

Ava Natalia Perry went missing from her home around 10am. Police say she was playing in the backyard of her home in the 8500 block of Alam Avenue with a "slightly older" sibling, who police say is "around 3," who notified her parents when she went missing. Police were called to the scene around an hour later.

The search focused on the canal behind the girl's home, which police describe as "fast moving" and "aggressive."

 

[Stunned]

Oh man......she was left alone in a baby pool in a yard with no fence by a fast moving canal? Not good. IMO, not good at all.

 

[FL Wannabe]

Oh no!

Thanks, cybervampira and all!

Toddler found in North Port canal dies despite life-saving measures

Ava's father was the one who made the call to police to report his 19-month-old daughter had been missing for about an hour.

"A slightly older sibling, maybe three, was pointing towards the canal calling her sister's name. That's what kind of gave us the direction to look," said Captain Gary Arsenault.

North Port police are still trying to figure out how Ava got out of her home and into the canal.

This is contradicting earlier statements saying she was playing in the backyard of her home.
