A 3-year-old boy who disappeared from home Wednesday afternoon while playing with dog found alive, Grimes County sheriff says.
Grimes County Sheriff Don Sowell told NBC News that Christopher Ramírez was found at 11:15 a.m. on Saturday after a"citizen called in after hearing some noise.""It looks like little boy was just lost in the woods," Sowell said, adding that he was found almost 5 miles from his home in Plantersville.
The boy and his mother, Araceli Núñez, have already been reunited. While Christopher seemed"in good shape," the boy was taken to a children's hospital out of precaution, Sowell said. More than 150 law enforcement officials from several agencies as well as search organizations and volunteers had been searching for Christopher since Wednesday.
The search party inspected several water tanks and reservoirs in the area. They also conducted ground searches with K-9 units and surveyed the area with drones and helicopters. Officials also reviewed surveillance footage from nearby homes.
