CLEVELAND, Texas – The search for a missing 2-year-old continued in Liberty County Thursday, three full days after the child was last seen.
Authorities said their hopes of finding a survivor are low at this point, but they still do not plan on leaving. The command post will remain outside the family’s home because they want a resolution – one way or the other.
“When it is a 2-year-old, I think we all feel like it’s our own child,” said Tim Miller, Texas Equusearch. “When would we stop if it was our own? So unfortunately, I think that Devon is certainly some place he did not choose to go. As a 2-year-old, he didn’t know what he was doing or where he was going and, you know, now it’s our job to do everything we can to get him located.”

A second dive team was brought in to help trudge through the alligator and snake-infested waters. Sharp-shooters were positioned on the banks and ready to react at the first sign of danger.
