Casey, who was three at the time, vanished in 2019 after becoming lost in
the woods while playing at a relative's house in North Carolina. Hundreds of
searchers joined the effort to hunt for the kid after his disappearance,
which sparked a major search that garnered national attention. A neighbor
heard screaming coming from the woods three days later. Casey said that a
bear kept him safe as he was entangled in a thicket and cried out for his
mother.
Most of us get a sickening feeling when we hear reports of missing
children. You are aware that kids just cannot care for themselves in the
same manner as their parents.
You ponder if they even know how to seek assistance. Would they be able to
tell someone where they are if they were able to phone 911? You also
question if they are aware of those they should avoid and those who can
assist them. Unfortunately, they're not all the time.
We can't even begin to imagine what Casey Hathaway's grandma endured. Casey
vanished when he was just three years old. He was playing outside in Ernul,
North Carolina, with two other kids, according to Inside Edition. The two
other children went inside once playtime was over, but Casey remained
outside.
After more than 45 minutes of searching, his grandma couldn't locate him
anywhere. At this point, she made the decision to report him missing by
dialing 911.
Casey was not clothed correctly for the weather at the time of his
abduction, according to Craven County Sheriff Chip Hughes. Hughes recollects
being extremely concerned about the area's deep water-collecting ditches and
sinkholes. He was concerned that one of these things may be what took him
away.
As divers joined the search, it was conducted. The area's ponds were
assessed. As the hours passed, the weather gradually started to deteriorate.
The FBI, US Marine Corps, and state investigators soon joined the
hunt.
Casey was eventually located. A few roads away, at a junction, he was
discovered to be alive.
Following a tip, Shane Grier, Chocowinity's EMS Cpt, started his
investigation. He then overheard Casey. He got ensnared in a patch of
briars. He was liberated quite immediately by Grier. After that, Casey was
sent to Caroline East Medical Center to receive treatment for hunger and
minor injuries. He was scheduled to be released on January 26, 2019.
Despite all he had gone through, his examination showed that his general
health was fine. According to Hughes, he behaved like any little kid would
have.
The first person to share the news that Casey had been located was his
aunt, who had kept everyone in the loop about the situation via her Facebook
page.
Miracles do occur, she asserted.
Casey will undoubtedly experience some sort of repercussions for his
actions, despite the fact that everyone is pleased that he was discovered.
But his explanation for disappearing would be amusing to virtually anyone.
According to his tale, he spent the previous two days hanging out with a
bear.
His mother continued to express to everyone how appreciative and glad she
was for his safe return after the tragedy. She provided further information
regarding his condition and declared that he was doing well. Evidently, he
had been requesting to view Netflix once again.
