Foul play not ruled out. Video at the link.

Officials with HCSO confirm the search ended just before 6 p.m. after Gracelyn’s body was found in the vicinity of the family’s property. While investigators didn’t confirm any foul play, crime tape surrounded the scene.

Hoping LE calls a press conference after the autopsy is completed. This is not going to be easy to hear, MOO.

Just an FYI, her name is also being spelled "Gracelynn" by family members.

I wonder how close "the vicinity of the residence" is considered to be. She was missing since noon and they found her six hours later.

I know, this is very strange. I'm just waiting on more details. I'm wondering if it's like the lady who went missing and was found deceased inside her recycling bin, it was positional asphyxia, I think? Or the toddler found inside his toy box, something like that or something more ominous.

It does appear to be on a decent size property with no close neighbors that I could tell from Google.

I'm not seeing where the property boundaries are. But it's a very wooded area.
