They may never find the child. Unless maybe they catch every large gator in the lake and search them. Heartbreaking.

Ugh. This week just needs to end.

 

[Nigel Channing]

The faces on all the people in the press conference says it all.

I don't think there are a lot of gators in the lake but yes you are correct.

The Disney spokes woman seemed very shaken.
Officer said the dad did enter the water to try and save the child

 

[rteetz]

Areas along the beach secured due to search efforts.

They are not leaving until child is recovered.

Heard they might've been wading in the water from what the sheriff described. That being said I've NEVER seen a gator on a beach area there. Just an awful nightmare situation

 

[rteetz]

No records of anything like this happening before.
