The woman thanked the nearly 600 volunteers who went in search of Casey on the day of his disappearance. It is known that the boy was with other children playing in the courtyard of the house of his grandmother, but when the children returned to the house, the baby was not with them.

According to rescue Shane Greer, yesterday evening, January 24th, combing a wooded area, the search engines has heard a child’s voice — Casey calling her mother. The boy was found entangled in the bushes of thorns.

«He was freezing, but answered us. The more we were warmed, the more active he became. He did a nice job,» said Greer.

In day of disappearance Casey was wearing a jacket, but this is clearly not the right clothes for overnight stays in the forest. In addition, last days in North Carolina it rained and in the district of Craven even formed a sinkhole. Divers inspected the nearby water bodies, not excluding that the boy could have drowned. For some time due to bad weather the search was terminated.

Still not clear where was Casey during all this time and how he survived, escaped many dangers. While the authorities do not consider the version of the abduction. Investigators believe that the boy wandered in the woods around, just never faced with the search engines. In this case, his salvation is a miracle!
